Navy approves NAWC land transfer, but investigation continues
Kyle Bagenstose

Despite ongoing efforts to remove toxic chemicals left behind after the closure of the Naval Air Warfare Center in Warminster, a portion of the land being eyed for a housing development has been cleared by the Navy for transfer, a Navy official said Wednesday.
News about the 50-acre property, known as Shenandoah Woods, came during a recent meeting of a committee organized by the Navy's Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) program to oversee ongoing cleanup efforts at the former base.
"The Shenandoah Woods property … was found to be suitable for transfer in September of 2015," said Willie Lin, BRAC environmental coordinator for the site. "The Navy is working separately with the township on the transfer of that property."
Steven Wiesner, Warminster's interim manager, said the township would need to sign off on the transfer before development could begin. He added that the township supervisors have voted to retain an independent environmental engineer from Pennoni Associates, of Doylestown, to advise on that decision.
According to Wiesner, if transferred, the land would still be developed in accordance with a 2012 reuse plan approved by the Bucks County Planning Commission. That plan would turn the development into a neighborhood of 113 single and semi-detached — or twin — homes.
Another 25 acres adjacent to the development would be used as a storm water management facility.
Currently, the site still contains 199 vacant housing units that previously were occupied by the families of base personnel. The bulk of the rest of the 840-acre site already was transferred and developed into what is now the Warminster Community Park.
At the meeting, committee members provided updates on remediation of the two classes of chemicals that have held up the transfer thus far: volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and perfluorinated compounds.
Trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and carbon tetrachloride, all VOCs, originally were found on the site shortly after it was declared a federal Superfund site in 1989, Environmental Protection Agency records show. In the decades since, the Navy has funded cleanup efforts including the removal of contaminated soil, the connection of local homes affected by the contamination to public water, and the installation of groundwater treatment systems to cleanse contaminated groundwater.
Jennifer Good, a project manager with H&S Environmental and consultant with the Navy, said groundwater continues to be treated at the site, including 934 million gallons this past December. A total of 26 wells are being used to extract contaminated water from three different sites, and the base continues to repair or replace aging equipment as needed, according to a report presented by Good on Wednesday.
Data, which was also presented by Good, showed the recovery rate of VOCs slowing. In total, 4,864 pounds of TCE have been recovered so far — from a high of more than 60 pounds in July 2005 to just 4 pounds in December. A total of 159 pounds of PCE have been collected so far — from a high of about 1.9 pounds in October 2005 to 0.55 pounds in December.
About 165 pounds of carbon tetrachloride have been collected, including 0.15 pounds in December. According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, there is "strong evidence" TCE can cause kidney cancer, and less definitive evidence that the chemical, along with PCE and carbon tetrachloride, can cause a variety of cancers.
Tim Hagey, executive director of the Warminster Municipal Authority, said the Navy's efforts to remove VOCs from the site have been successful to date.
"They identified there was a problem, they've put in a system to treat it, and they've been operating and maintaining it," Hagey said.
However, the Navy has a new problem on its hands: In 2011, perfluorinated compounds PFOA and PFOS were found in the site's groundwater at levels above those set by an EPA provisional health advisory. According to the EPA, the Navy is identifying the extent of the contamination of those compounds, the health effects of which little is known definitively.
Jeff Dale, remedial project manager for the Navy, on Wednesday laid out the recent findings of the investigation into the extent of the contamination.
"We completed a preliminary investigation to identify sources of these contaminants, and based on that information and the sampling (of wells), we believe there's more than one source of the (compounds), and not just the fire training area," Dale said.
PFOA and PFOS are commonly found in firefighting foams that were used by the military on the base.
Dale said that in order to complete the investigation, approximately 40 new wells will be installed, in addition to soil, sediment, and surface water samples taken from new areas. Dale listed areas of investigation as the site of a former plane crash along Bristol Road that "may involve a drainage feature that's in the Warminster Park," a former landfill, a former fire training area, waste disposal sites, and the sites of a number of former buildings.
"Most of our work will be focused north of the former facility, but there will be sampling east, west and south," Dale said.
Maps provided by the Navy during the meeting show a number of proposed surface water and sediment samples in the vicinity of the Walmart off Street Road and Warminster SEPTA station, an area that did not appear to be investigated previously, as well as a number of proposed groundwater monitoring wells in the vicinity of Shenandoah Woods.
Asked how the township could be confident in the redevelopment of Shenandoah Woods when the extent of the contamination had not yet been determined, Wiesner said the township was still reviewing the Navy's analysis and would rely on the findings of the independent environmental engineer. The engineer, he said, would review the Navy's findings and also conduct separate testing to verify the data.
"We're doing our own due diligence … and of course our concern is that the land is suitable for transfer," Wiesner said. "I believe that almost all of the wells (on the Shenandoah Woods site) were below (EPA provisionary) levels, with the exception of one well on the northern most part of Access Drive."
The newspaper reached out to the Navy to obtain a copy of the document submitted to Warminster expressing its confidence in the land being ready for transfer, but did not receive an immediate response.
Wiesner said he could not predict the earliest time a transfer could take place, but that the township's consulting engineer will begin independent testing in the "next several weeks."

The world of health and fitness is often a place of contradiction and commonly believed 'conventional wisdom' that's misunderstood or just plain wrong!
This is known as spot reduction, and it's a myth. You can't target exactly where you lose fat.
One of the more common symptoms of this myth is people performing endless sit-ups in order to melt belly fat which is a bit like chipping away at a block of concrete with a fork.
Fat loss just doesn't work that way and there are much more effective exercises for losing weight.
Instead, fat loss takes place on your overall body, not in certain areas, and is dictated by your genes.
This one also isn't true and goes for both men and women (especially women as they have very low testosterone).
You won't get huge muscles through average, recreational weight training. This would take years of dedicated and focused work. Instead, through an effectively applied weight training routine you're likely to become stronger, healthier, and see slow, gradual increases in muscle mass.
The bulky bodies with incredibly low body fat that you're probably picturing are the result of years of progressive weight training, strict dieting, and most likely steroid use.
Many bodyweight exercises are superb body building movements, such as pull-ups and dips. Intelligently designed bodyweight programs will build muscle, just not as quickly as a targeted, progressive weight training routine.
Just check out the physiques of gymnasts and those dedicated to street workout and calisthenics for some great examples of the kinds of physiques that can be built through bodyweight work.
With the exception of very rare cases, there's only around 200-300 calories variation in resting metabolism between people.
Amount of energy expended, as determined by activity levels and affected by non-exercise activity factors such as occupation, genetics, age, gender and body composition.
Free weight training, with good form, using a weight that you can handle is safer and more effective than machine-based training. Weight machines often have a fixed path of motion whereas free weights are entirely under your control.
This allows you to ensure the movement tracks more naturally and doesn't force you into any unnatural movement patterns.
Having visible abs is mostly to do with the amount of body fat you're carrying and less about what exercises you're performing.
This is why it's commonly said that "abs are made in the kitchen and not the gym" as it's diet that is the crucial factor in body fat.
It doesn't matter how strong and big your abdominal muscles are, if they're covered in layer upon layer of body fat, no one will ever see them, and because spot reduction is a myth (see "Exercising a certain body part will burn fat in that area" myth above), endless sit-ups won't help you shift that belly fat.
What you really need to do to have those abs on display is to follow a targeted routine combining both diet and exercise to help lower your body fat. The abs usually start to appear around the 12% mark (although this varies from person-to-person).
What most people mean when they say that they want to be toned is to have better muscle definition, which essentially means, more muscle mass and a low enough body fat for the muscle to be on show.
Training with high reps and lighter weights will not be an effective way of accomplishing these two things, but would be better suited to building muscular endurance.
Our guide to repetition ranges is a good read to help you understand how training at different reps can be used to achieve your goal, but to build size and definition you'd be better served training with heavier weights in the 10-15 range.
Muscle growth takes place outside the gym and you don't need to train every single day.
Pick a tried-and-tested weight training routine that's in line with your goals and stick to it. Most muscle building routines will have you training with intensity 3 - 4 times per week.
Sweating has nothing to do with workout intensity or effectiveness. It's just the body's way of dealing with overheating. Body fat is oxidised inside the body and this isn't affected by sweating.
Now that we've cleared those common fitness myths up it's time to read our getting started guide to health and fitness and start training effectively.

NEWS: David Ellefson on Jackson, Megadeth, Hartke, Rock House Method
Bravewords.com has a great interview with Megadeth's David Ellefson by Mitch Lafon (follow Mitch on Twitter here) in which Junior talks about switching to Hartke (and back to Jackson), the legacy of the Big 4, plans for the next Megadeth album, his Rock House Method instructional DVDs and more. Here are a couple of snippets.
Bravewords.com: You're currently doing bass clinics with ANTHRAX' Frank Bello.
David Ellefson: "Yeah, it's cool because Hartke amplifiers has been a really big supporter for me. I started using them as far back as the Peace Sells tour and I've turned back to my weapons of choice which is the Jackson bass and the Hartke amplifiers. I did some clinics for Hartke while I was out on the Jagermeister tour and Frank Bello just came on board with Hartke, so I thought it was a really cool idea that during our down time that Frank and I go out and do some clinics together. The Big 4 thing has become the anchor between the four bands now. We've really put a name to our community and I think that anytime any of us do things together whether it's the SLAYER/Megadeth Carnage tour, the Slayer/Anthrax/Megadeth Jägermeister tour, Frank and I doing bass clinics or all four of us getting onstage as the Big 4 again… More than ever we've become so tightly knit as a community of thrash metal right now and anything that we can do together as either pieces of the big machine or as the big machine itself is great for the fans and great for empowering the movement."

Interprets for the Western mind the key motifs of India's legend, myth, and folklore, taken directly from the Sanskrit, and illustrated with seventy plates of Indian art. This book offers an introduction to image-thinking and picture-reading in Indian art and thought.
About This Book Joseph Campbell's classic cross-cultural study of the hero's journey has inspired millions and opened up new areas of research and exploration. Originally published in 1949, the book hit the New York Times best-seller list in 1988 when it became the subject of The Power of Myth, a PBS television special. The first popular work to combine the spiritual and psychological insights of modern psychoanalysis with the archetypes of world mythology, the book creates a roadmap for navigating the frustrating path of contemporary life. Examining heroic myths in the light of modern psychology, it considers not only the patterns and stages of mythology but also its relevance to our lives today--and to the life of any person seeking a fully realized existence. Myth, according to Campbell, is the projection of a culture's dreams onto a large screen; Campbell's book, like Star Wars, the film it helped inspire, is an exploration of the big-picture moments from the stage that is our world. It is a must-have resource for both experienced students of mythology and the explorer just beginning to approach myth as a source of knowledge.
Offers more insight into Campbell's work and theories and continues the classic portrayal of Deity as seen through the eyes of different cultures throughout the course of history. 2 cassettes.
Countless would-be readers of Finnegans Wake — James Joyce's 1939 masterwork, on which he labored for a third of his life — have given up after a few pages and "dismissed the book as a perverse triumph of the unintelligible." In 1944, a young professor of mythology and literature named Joseph Campbell, working with novelist and poet Henry Morton Robinson, wrote the first guide to understanding the fascinating world of Finnegans Wake. Page by page, chapter by chapter, A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake outlines the basic action of Joyce's book, simplifies and clarifies the complex web of images and allusions, and provides an understandable, continuous narrative from which the reader can venture out on his or her own. This edition includes a foreword and updates by Joyce scholar Dr. Edmund L. Epstein that add the context of sixty subsequent years of scholarship.
A paperback edition of Campbell's major study of the mythology of the world's high civilizations over five millennia. It includes nearly 450 illustrations. The text is the same as that of the 1974 edition. Mythologist Joseph Campbell was a masterful storyteller, able to weave tales from every corner of the world into compelling, even spellbinding, narratives. His interest in comparative mythology began in childhood, when the young Joe Campbell was taken to see Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show at Madison Square Garden. He started writing articles on Native American mythology in high school, and the parallels between age-old myths and the mythic themes in literature and dreams became a lifelong preoccupation. Campbell's best-known work is The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), which became a New York Times paperback best-seller for Princeton in 1988 after Campbell's star turn on the Bill Moyers television program The Power of Myth. During his early years as a professor of comparative religion at Sarah Lawrence College, Campbell made the acquaintance of Indologist Heinrich Zimmer, a kindred spirit who introduced him to Paul and Mary Mellon, the founders of Bollingen Series. They chose Campbell's The Mythic Image as the culmination of the series, giving it the closing position--number one hundred. A lavishly illustrated and beautifully produced study of the mythology of the world's high civilizations, The Mythic Image received a front-cover review in the New York Times Book Review upon publication. Through the medium of visual art, the book explores the relation of dreams to myth and demonstrates the important differences between oriental and occidental interpretations of dreams and life.
This book is called classic work of mythology master Campbell, which dating back to almost all related stories of heroic adventures in the world and revealing the same hero archetype. It covers different areas of anthropology, archeology, biology, literature, psychology, comparative religion, art and popular culture etc, thus builds up Campbell unique mythology system and lays his historical position in this field where he becomes a generation of academic master. Campbells thought is creative, and he combines humanistic value and universal spiritual experience with the contemporary science and art. This book not only enriches the field of study mythology, but also opens more space of imagination for human future. Since its publication in 1949, it has inspired and influenced generations of scholars all over the world, published in many languages around the world and sold of millions of copies.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL SIGNED COPY OF HIS CLASSIC "HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES"
"There is no one quite like Joseph Campbell. He knows the vast sweep of man's panoramic past as few men have evern known it." -The Village Voice What is a properly functioning mythology and what are its functions? Can we use myths to help relieve our modern anxiety, or do they help foster it? In Myths to Live by, Joseph Campbell explores the enduring power of the universal myths that influence our lives daily and examines the myth-making process from the primitive past to the immediate present, retuning always to the source from which all mythology springs: the creative imagination. Campbell stresses that the borders dividing the Earth have been shattered; that myths and religions have always followed the certain basic archetypes and are no longer exclusive to a single people, region, or religion. He shows how we must recognize their common denominators and allow this knowledge to be of use in fulfilling human potential everywhere.
The Present work is intended not as a handbook bus as an introduction to its subject, to be read from beginning to end. Each section is preparation for the next. Chapter I, presenting as it does a brief historical outline of the transformation of Indian art as well as a key to the symbology of the forms, can be used as a guide during the first perusal of the pictures. For the reader then wishing to find quickly the several portions of text referring to any specific group of monuments, a copious index has been supplied, together with textual referrences in the Description of Plates and cross-references in the footnotes. Marginal references to the Plates, furthermore, accompany the text. These should make possible an easy and rapid correlation of the materials of the two volumes. The first two groups of Plates in the text volume illustrate, for the most part, the anthropology and comparative observations of the text. Included among them, however, are a few photographs that are indispensable to Dr. Zimmer s argument but do not meet the aesthetic standard of the Plates volume. On the other hand, the final cluster of text Plates constitutes. An independent pictorial appendix, illustrating the miniature and Rajput art of the eleventh to nineteenth centuries A.D. Dr. Zimmer s notes on this subject had not been developed beyond preliminary jottings, and could not be incorporated in any major section of the text. But since there is actually a rather special, very delicate, lyric quality about these paintings on palm leaf and paper, which sets them apart, somewhat, from the tradition of the stone monuments, it is not inappropriate that they should be given a separate place.
In Flight of the Wild Gander, renowned mythologist Joseph Campbell — in his first collection of essays, written between 1944 and 1968 — explores the individual and geographical origins of myth, outlining the full range of mythology from Grimm's fairy tales to American Indian legends. Originally published in 1969, this collection describes the symbolic content of stories: how they are linked to human experience and how they — along with our experiences — have changed over time. Throughout, Campbell explores the function of mythology in everyday life and the forms it may take in the future. Included are some of Campbell's first groundbreaking essays: "Bios and Mythos" and "Primitive Man as Metaphysician," both of which examine the biological basis and necessity for story and mythology, and establish mythology as a basic function or fact of nature. Campbell's essay "Mythogenesis" turns from the natural and biological to the cultural and historical — the rise, flowering, and decline of a particular myth, a single American Indian legend. Campbell explores how the myth was born, as well as the personal experiences of the visionary medicine man through whose memory the myth was preserved. This new paperback edition joins other reissues and previously unpublished works as part of the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell.

Spine is firm and uncreased. Cover is different from the one shown above. PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS OF THIS BOOK THAT I POSTED ON THE PRODUCT PAGE. Classic work by American mythologist, Joseph Campbell. Campbell was fascinated with what he viewed as basic, universal truths, expressed in different manifestations across different cultures. In "The Hero With A Thousand Faces", he demonstrate similarities between Eastern and Western religions. In this book, first published by 1949 Campbell's idea of the monomyth ( a word borrowed from James Joyce), outlined some of the archetypal patterns that Campbell recognized. Heroes were important to Campbell because, to him, they conveyed universal truths about one's personal self-discovery and self-transcendence, one's role in society, and the relation between the two. The relationship of their timeless symbols to those rediscovered in dream by contemporary depth psychology is taken as a starting point for interpretation. A fascinating, thought-provoking study of folklore, myth, and religion where a single hero emerges from behind a thousand faces. Prompt shipping.

New ideas for the next space generation.
The INNOspace Masters ideas competition – as part of the INNOspace® initiative by the DLR Space Administration – is looking for world-changers with new ideas for the next space generation. Are you a visionary or a team from a research institute? A start-up or an SME? Or you are an industrial company looking for solutions through a new partnership? Then you've come to the right place!
Accept the challenge! Each of our partners presents its own challenge to the participants with individual areas of focus according to the development phase within the innovation process. Every idea finds the right challenge at the INNOspace Masters! Each challenge selects a winner at the awards ceremony. Irrespective of the ranking in the challenges, the jury decides on an additional overall winner, who can enjoy being entitled "INNOspace Master".
Win and take off! The winners of the individual challenges receive individual advice and funding opportunities from our partners. In this way, concepts and ideas lead to actual innovation projects that the winners effectively advance with support of the partners.
The space industry is changing!
The number of private actors, the production of payloads and the operation of satellites have multiplied. More and more space developments are being transferred into everyday life. The INNOspace Masters promotes the commercialisation and start-up investment of "spin-in" (from non-space into a space sector) and "spin-off" (from space sectors into non-space) business ideas. These ideas by the winners will be further developed together with the respective partner. Participants are thus active creators of the future and tap into new markets.
The INNOspace Masters is the competition for anyone facing the current challenges of the space industry. Through digitisation, automation and increasingly complex systems, the aerospace industry must constantly adapt and seek out new opportunities. Whether alone, in a team or as a company, anyone who wants to develop new technologies and concepts for or from the space industry and bring them to market maturity with the help of partners has come to the right place here. Existing technologies from the space industry can be transferred into other sectors, and approaches from these can be adapted for space.
Think of the future. Go on and shape it with your idea!
The DLR Challenge is primarily aimed at companies (especially SMEs), universities and non-university research institutions. A registered office in Germany is mandatory.
The ESA BIC Challenge is open to all individuals and teams who aim to set up a company. A registered office or a registration address in Germany is required.
The Airbus and OHB Challenges have no restrictions.
Since 2015, the INNOspace Masters plays an important role in promoting innovative ideas for the space sector. Its entries cover different levels of maturity along the entire value chain. Submissions include ideas and concepts from foreign industries into space, but also ideas from space into industry. The competition's prize pool and outstanding partners enable the winners to further their ideas into real innovation projects.
All numbers above are a summary of the INNOspace Masters competitions from 2015 to 2019.
Acting on behalf of the Federal Government, the DLR's Space Administration designs and implements Germany's Space Programme, which integrates all German space activities on the national and European level. The DLR Space Administration on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy has started the INNOspace Masters in 2015 as part of the initiative INNOspace® to promote innovations, technology transfer and new markets.
AZO Anwendungszentrum GmbH Oberpfaffenhofen is carrying out the INNOspace Masters on behalf of the DLR. It is an international networking and branding company initiating the most important space-related innovation competitions with more than 15,000 participants, over 200 industrial & public – and 400 international stakeholders.

Morning Musing: John 12:24
"Truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains by itself. But if it dies, it produces much fruit." (CSB – Read the chapter)
How is it that we manage to figure out who we are? More than that, how do we manage to become that person? There's something inside of all of us that longs to be fully ourselves. The trouble is, most of us don't really know who that is or how to get there if we do. There are all kinds of obstacles in the way. These appear in our path both internally and externally. Externally, some of the people around us don't want us to become fully who we were made to be because they want us to be conformed to their own image for us. Maybe this is a parent in your life, but it could also be a sibling or a friend or a boss or a coworker. Many of our obstacles, though, are internal. We are afraid of the journey to reach that point. We don't want to give up all of the things that will have to go for us to get there. We want to have options and not be fully committed to any one thing. The result here is often a mess. Jesus gave us a way to get there though. It is a way that was accidentally captured in the final episode of Titans season three. I know I did a review of the series a few weeks ago, but having just finished it at last, there's one more thing we need to talk about. Let's get to it.
The season finished strong and as expected. The good guys won. The bad guys lost. The city was saved. There really wasn't much of a love story, but the hero did walk away from the girl so he could keep saving the day. Basically, it went the way you would expect a superhero story to go.
The major villain for this season was the classic Batman villain, Scarecrow. His character was interesting. He really wasn't very intimidating at any point in the season. He was crazy, and he was working through some serious mommy issues (his mom was actually introduced in one scene just long enough for him to murder her), but other than wanting to kill everyone in Gotham, where this particular season took place, he wasn't ever terribly menacing. But he was clever which allowed the writers to do some fun things including having him sit in the Bat Cave and listen to Batman's profile of him which basically concluded Scarecrow was little more than a sadistic coward.
The real theme of the season, though, didn't have anything to do with the major conflict. This season was all about resurrection. Four different characters were brought back from the dead over the course of the season and another one voluntarily gave up his chance at it so he could help other people come back from the dead, essentially committing to be a superhero in the place between here and eternity.
The last character to be brought back was the main hero, Nightwing. Nightwing—Dick Grayson—was the original Robin. He changed his name when he left Batman to lead the Titans. Nightwing was killed in a climactic battle with Red Hood, another character who was resurrected early in the season. Red Hood wasn't the one who killed him, but he wound up dead anyway. He was then resurrected using the Lazarus Pit Ra's al Ghul built in Gotham some years back when he was looking into setting up his operation there. (Don't tune me out if you're lost in the comic book weeds, we'll come out of this to the point in just a minute.) It was all terribly convenient, but that's how these kinds of stories go.
In any event, it wasn't Nightwing's resurrection itself that so caught my attention. It was a conversation he had about it with Donna Troy toward the end of the final episode when Scarecrow had been defeated and they were wrapping up the story. Incidentally, she was another of the characters who came back from the dead, although her death was at the end of season two. The conversation went like this:
Donna: Congrats, by the way.
Dick: For what?
Donna: For finding Nightwing
Dick: I'm starting to. And all I had to do to find him was die.
Donna: You know, I will say this: The one thing about dying and coming back is that it sure sets your priorities straight.
Titans Episode 3.13, Purple Rain
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: If you pay attention to what you're watching, you'll be surprised just how often the Gospel shows up when you least expect it. As I said when writing up a review of Titans a few weeks ago, I struggled to find a line from which to offer a meaningful review because it was generally so devoid of spiritual content. Then this episode happened.
What so caught my attention here is Dick's observation that all it took to find himself was dying. Surely the writers didn't have the Gospel in mind, but this resonates rather harmoniously with Jesus' observation here to His disciples. Jesus, here, was talking about His impending death and subsequent resurrection. He was trying to help His disciples get their minds and hearts around the fact that His dying was a good thing.
Of course, no, in a direct sense it wasn't a good thing. Jesus' death on the cross was the gravest injustice ever perpetuated by people. But in an absolute sense, He was being planted as a seed that would grow, and whose fruit would be very sweet indeed. It was the fruit of eternal life.
Yet what does any of this have to do with our finding ourselves? There are not any Lazarus Pits lying around that we can use to bring ourselves back to life after physically dying. No, but what we do have is even better. In Christ, we don't have to die physically. He did that for us. Instead, we can entrust our life to Him and participate in His death spiritually. That is, we accept that His death was for us. And, as Paul said, "Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be in the likeness of his resurrection." (Romans 6:4-5 CSB)
In Christ, that is, we have new life. As good as that sounds, though, there's more. Once we are found in Him, the Holy Spirit comes into our hearts to begin the process of making us new from the inside out. He takes up residence in our very souls to shape and form us into the beautifully unique individuals God created us to be. In other words, He helps us become fully ourselves—the selves who will most glorify God and experience all the accompanying joy.
What this means is that Titans got it right. The only thing it takes to find ourselves is dying. When we die to our former self with all its sinful, destructive desires which never accomplish anything of lasting significance in us or in the world around us, we can begin to become the selves we were always meant to be. (This does not mean, by the way, that non-Christians can't make an impact on the world that lasts beyond their lifetime. They obviously can and have. What I'm talking about is an entirely longer frame of reference than merely a single human lifetime—or even several of them.)
The question you and I have to answer, then, is a simple one: Who do we want to be? Do we want to settle for whatever we manage to construct and claim for ourselves, or do we want to aim for something entirely larger than that? We can settle for the former. God will let that happen. But we won't ever really be happy until we reach for more. And we can have more. All it takes is dying. All it takes is uniting ourselves with the One who already died, lives, and will bring us new and eternal life when the day arrives. Don't settle for anything less than being fully yourself. In Christ is where you will find it. The world will be glad you did.

A US bombing raid killed at least six civilians and wounded nine in eastern Afghanistan, after assailants attacked US-appointed government positions, an Afghan official said.
The aerial attack followed a night raid by unknown fighters in the Manogi district of Kunar province, deputy provincial police chief, Muhammad Arif Nizami said in Asadabad, Kunar's capital.
"As a result of the bombing by [US] planes, six civilians have lost their lives, nine more have been injured and eight houses have been demolished in Manogi," Nizami said.
Nizami said the bombing was carried out at around 2am (2230 GMT).
Sayid Fazil Akbar, governor of Kunar province, said fighting broke out when 25 rockets were fired at the mayor's office in Mano Gai, 170 km east of the capital city Kabul.
Thereafter, "American planes came and bombarded Wardesh village," he added.
The governor speculated as to who was behind the attack, by blaming forces of another tribe led by commander Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.
About 18,000 US-led troops and the newly formed, ill-equipped and relatively poorly trained Afghan National Army are supposed to provide security for the upcoming elections but US military officials say their troops are still searching for Taliban and al-Qaida fighters.
Basic services like running water and electricity are practically non-existent in most parts of Afghanstan.
Afghans blame the US for attacking civilians and at times for firing at random.

COLUMBUS – Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose today announced 12,129 new entities filed to do business in Ohio in January, an increase of 2,054 when compared to the same month in 2018.
January's numbers indicate a strong start to 2019, building off yet another record setting year for business filings in 2018.
"Ohio's economy is strengthened when a business chooses to establish its roots right here in Ohio, and these numbers are a very positive indicator that entrepreneurs are looking to make a home in Ohio," said LaRose.
Ohio is also seeing a significant amount of Ohioans taking advantage of quick-and-easy online filings through Ohio Business Central. Last month, online filings made up 83% of all business filings.
Though the most visible role of the Secretary of State is that of chief elections officer, the office is also the first stop for individuals or companies who want to file and start a business in Ohio. While recognizing these numbers don't provide a complete picture of Ohio's economic climate, they are an important indicator of economic activity that Secretary LaRose hopes will add to the ongoing discussion of how to improve the state's overall climate for business.

Book Review: Waiting to Be Heard
Thanks to our very own Kyle Rausch for sharing his thoughts on the book written by a study abroad student who spent several years in prison in Italy. Waiting to Be Heard by Amanda Knox was a compelling read for Kyle. Read on to find out why…
What if you were accused of a crime and never given the opportunity to share your side of the story? What if all people knew about you were the details cherry-picked by media outlets and twisted to make a juicy, provocative story? Waiting to Be Heard, the long-anticipated memoir from Amanda Knox, details this exact scenario. Amanda Knox was a student from the University of Washington who pursued a study abroad opportunity in Perugia, Italy. In the fall of 2007, Amanda's British roommate, Meredith Kercher was found brutally murdered in their apartment, and local police soon championed Amanda and her then Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito as the culprits. It's a horrifying thought–being locked up for four years for a crime that you maintain you did not commit, all the while watching your reputation and life be tarnished the world over. Amanda Knox finds the strength to relive these terrifying years through her first opportunity to truly tell her story unfettered by others with competing agendas.
The result is 461 pages of heart-wrenching anguish as we watch a naive, young and optimistic Amanda transform into a jaded, if stronger, individual. The memoir opens with Amanda recounting her decision to study in the college town of Perugia, Italy, an experience that she sought out for reasons of personal growth as every bit as for the educational benefits. Knox helps the reader to understand why the Italian prosecutors and media latched on to the image of Foxy Knoxy as some sexual deviant, all thanks to the innocent parting gag gift of a bunny vibrator and her modus operandi for the travel experience: to discover the person she was meant to be, both sexually and otherwise. It is the brief casual sex that end up costing Amanda more than she bargained for later on. These events are made all the more worse because Amanda learned through these few encounters that casual sex, though a generationally-accepted practice by her peers, is simply not for her. Unfortunately for Amanda, it was a personal lesson learned too late, but one that helps the reader to understand that this is a situation that could happen to most any young woman participating on a journey of self-discovery.
Though it must have been very difficult for Amanda to share such personal details with the world, the book's strength lies in Amanda's willingness to invite us into her mind and consider these innermost thoughts, all while maintaining a clear and organized writing style. After experiencing the solitude of Capanne prison alongside Amanda, it becomes much easier to understand the quirky personality that got Amanda into so much trouble. For the majority of the book, you see the situation through the rose-colored glasses that Amanda refused to take off. It is truly astounding how long Amanda is able to maintain her optimistic outlook that justice, as she sees it, will prevail, an element of the story that makes it all the more upsetting once we finally see Amanda crumble after her first trial ends in her being charged as guilty.
Meredith Kercher, a British student who was murdered while studying abroad in Italy. May she rest in peace.
As terrible as it is to witness what Amanda has to endure during these long years (and the frustration is truly palpable), one critique I have of the memoir is that the tragic death of Meredith Kercher remains in the shadows of this whole situation. It is, of course, in no way at the fault of Knox, who understandably spends most of the book recounting her story that she had to wait so long to share. Still there are moments when the garish murder of the UK student are recounted that leave the reader longing for a little more mourning and focus on the central victim of this tragic story. Here, we can blame the media again, rather than having elected to focus on remembering Meredith and respecting her family's mourning, they decided to invent a salacious character fit for headlines. Amanda is left with almost no choice but to use every page she has to renounce the years of allegations that piled up while she was behind bars. And while there are certainly moments where the reader sees Amanda grieving for her slain friend and the family she left behind, the lack of mention to Meredith or her family in the author's note at the end of the book casts a cold reminder of the victim that was often overlooked through most of this media circus.
Waiting to Be Heard is a book that any college student about to study abroad should read since it is very easy to forget that not all justice systems throughout the world are created equal and, as a student studying abroad, you are at the mercy of that country's legal system. However, it is also much more than a cautionary tale. It is a rare look at the resiliency of the human spirit and a moment of justice for a young girl that had to grow up quickly. But just as much as it should be read by anyone who might have an opinion on the culpability of Amanda, it is a haunting reproach to the behaviors of our current media system. It is sickening to read how Amanda learned of one libelous story after another that emerged from various media outlets leaving a girl helpless to defend herself and the real tragedy of a lost daughter and sister as only a backdrop to a story of sex and scandal. Hopefully readers will not only walk away with a more balanced perspective of this tragic story, but a more judicious approach to consuming media.
In the meantime, Meredith will forever be waiting to be heard.

Q: How do I decode an Avro message in Python? I am having trouble decoding an Avro message in Python (3.6.11). I have tried both the avro and fastavro packages. So I think that the problem may be that I'm providing the bytes incorrectly.
Using avro:
from avro.io import DatumReader, BinaryDecoder
import avro.schema
from io import BytesIO

schema = avro.schema.parse("""
    {
        "type": "record",
        "name": "User",
        "namespace": "example.avro",
        "fields": [
            {
                "name": "name",
                "type": "string"
            },
            {
                "name": "favorite_number",
                "type": [
                    "int",
                    "null"
                ]
            },
            {
                "name": "favorite_color",
                "type": [
                    "string",
                    "null"
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
""")

rb = BytesIO(b'{"name": "Alyssa", "favorite_number": 256}')
decoder = BinaryDecoder(rb)
reader = DatumReader(schema)
msg = reader.read(decoder)
print(msg)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 36, in <module>
    msg = reader.read(decoder)
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/avro/io.py", line 626, in read
    return self.read_data(self.writers_schema, self.readers_schema, decoder)
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/avro/io.py", line 698, in read_data
    return self.read_record(writers_schema, readers_schema, decoder)

    field_val = self.read_data(field.type, readers_field.type, decoder)
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/avro/io.py", line 638, in read_data
    return self.read_union(writers_schema, readers_schema, decoder)
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/avro/io.py", line 854, in read_union
    index_of_schema = int(decoder.read_long())
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/avro/io.py", line 240, in read_long
    b = ord(self.read(1))
TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 0 found

Use fastavro:
from fastavro import schemaless_reader, parse_schema
from io import BytesIO

schema = parse_schema(
    {
        "type": "record",
        "name": "User",
        "namespace": "example.avro",
        "fields": [
            {
                "name": "name",
                "type": "string"
            },
            {
                "name": "favorite_number",
                "type": [
                    "int",
                    "null"
                ]
            },
            {
                "name": "favorite_color",
                "type": [
                    "string",
                    "null"
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
)

rb = BytesIO(b'{"name": "Alyssa", "favorite_number": 256}')
msg = schemaless_reader(rb, schema)
print(msg)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 33, in <module>
    msg = schemaless_reader(rb, schema)
  File "fastavro/_read.pyx", line 969, in fastavro._read.schemaless_reader
  File "fastavro/_read.pyx", line 981, in fastavro._read.schemaless_reader
  File "fastavro/_read.pyx", line 652, in fastavro._read._read_data
  File "fastavro/_read.pyx", line 510, in fastavro._read.read_record
  File "fastavro/_read.pyx", line 644, in fastavro._read._read_data
  File "fastavro/_read.pyx", line 429, in fastavro._read.read_union
  File "fastavro/_read.pyx", line 200, in fastavro._read.read_long
StopIteration

I don't know if the message that I'm encoding is malformed or if the problem is with the encoding itself. Any suggestions?

A: I'll speak to fastavro since that is what I know best.
Your rb variable should be the avro binary you are trying to read (not the data). To get an example of what this binary is, you could do a write:
rb = BytesIO()
schemaless_writer(rb, schema, {"name": "Alyssa", "favorite_number": 256})
rb.getvalue()  # b'\x0cAlyssa\x00\x80\x04\x02'

Then you could do what you are trying to and read that resulting binary:
rb = BytesIO(b'\x0cAlyssa\x00\x80\x04\x02')
data = schemaless_reader(rb, schema)
# {'name': 'Alyssa', 'favorite_number': 256, 'favorite_color': None}

Inside Munich Airport's LabCampus project
Munich Airport is about to embark on a unique project: under the name of LabCampus, the airport plans to develop an innovation centre. Eva Grey finds out more from LabCampus managing director Dr Marc Wagener
t the heart of Bavaria in Germany, Munich Airport has seen record-breaking growth over the past three years. In 2017, it ranked sixth among Europe's hub airports and was among the top 20 airports worldwide, carrying 44.6 million passengers over 405,505 flights.
Today it serves 74 countries and 266 destinations, but its sights are set even further: the airport is currently in the early stages of branching out into building a bona fide aerotropolis.
Dubbed LabCampus, the new project aims to build a business and leisure district in and around the airport, which would become a key meeting point for leading experts, start-ups, global players, creative minds and investors. This interdisciplinary ideas centre will be located in the northeast area of the airport and will aim to pave the way for the targeted development and testing of new technologies.
"No other airport has ever created a world of ideas of this kind," said Munich Airport CEO Dr Michael Kerkloh at the company's annual press conference in April.
Preparatory work is already underway for the first quadrant, with 120,000m2 of space reserved for new office buildings and a new Airport Academy, which is currently situated outside the airport. The first buildings will be ready for use in 2020 and the airport has set aside around €400m for this first quadrant alone.
In April, Dr Marc Wagener joined LabCampus GmbH, the newly established subsidiary of Munich Airport, with the mission of building, promoting and driving a future-oriented, cross-industry campus for innovators. Here, he explains why Munich Airport is keen to diversify its activity beyond its role as a transit hub.

Eva Grey: Where did the idea behind LabCampus come from?
Dr Marc Wagener: If we talk about LabCampus, we talk about innovation.
If you look at how innovation works, you'll see that over the past 20 to 30 years, there has been a shift in how innovation is being done. Some 30 years ago, when I started my career, classic innovation was goal-driven; today, there are fewer and fewer areas where this traditional approach is working. The innovation world is now much more decentralised and distributed; I call this the 'democratisation of innovation'.
For us, one important factor in this distributed world is cooperation across industries, across companies of different sizes, along with start-ups, with academia and so on. This is about orchestrating this network of small and distributed innovation we can see in the world. This is basically what LabCampus is about: we want to be the physical place where people and companies come together in a very creative and open environment.
[Istanbul New Airport's] contribution to the tourism sector is estimated to be $7bn
What makes Munich Airport the ideal place for an innovation centre?
From my perspective, the airport is optimally suited for this, because airports are already much more than just a place where people hop on and off a plane. Munich Airport is now a place where people meet, you have entertainment facilities – so airports are already now at this stage where they play a bigger part.
We have about 150,000 passengers coming here every day, which is the optimal test bed for companies where they could get feedback for their new ideas and products.
In its role as curator, the airport will have to construct LabCampus in three different layers.
The first layer is a special architectural concept of how we set up our little city. There's a big trend in which work and private life are merging together. You can see in Silicon Valley, they are creating campuses for their employees where they can do more than just work, and that is something we want to bring here. We want to have a special environment, a special campus atmosphere, with an architectural design that allows people to work, go out, where they can be creative and where they can stay after work, bring their kids, or do sports. We want to build a smart city that is suited to the latest trends.
On top of that, we would like to offer the companies specific digitalisation services, which enable them to do better innovation. Here in Munich we also have some excellent institutions that provide start-up services.
And lastly, we also want to play a very active role in bringing the companies together here on the campus, but also within the Munich and Bavaria area.
iBeacon technology will provide indoor directions, walking times to gates, lounge access and boarding alerts
Which companies have already expressed interest in taking part?
Siemens and SAP are already working on projects with us on the campus. We are in discussions with other companies, and we can see there is a high interest in this at an international level.
We also already have a lot of partners [who] come to the table, research organisations including the Fraunhofer Institute, Friedrich Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, the Munich University of Applied Sciences and UnternehmerTUM, and the Technical University of Munich, which specialises in entrepreneurship and start-up foundation.
How do you see the airport, and the local community, capitalising on this project?
We have numerous other projects. LabCampus is about diversification and you might have heard that Munich Airport is innovative in many aspects and we're growing more as an airport city now. We're still focusing on the third runway, on expanding our terminal facilities, but we're not concentrating on one project only: this is not an 'either/or' plan for us. It's more about a balanced approach.
We have a certain industry focus on topics like future mobility, logistics and cybersecurity, but we also want to be open. We are building something up for the next 20 or 30 years so nobody knows what the trends will be then. So we will also be more open in bringing companies from other industries with a more distant link to the airport here, which we perceive as being innovative in general.

Update: GRPD News Conference Yesterday's 'Shooting Rampage'
Chief Kevin Belk just got done addressing the media on everything that went down yesterday. Apparently two woman who were shot, were ex-girlfriend's of the suspect and one of the children who were murdered was his daughter.
A deeply emotional Chief Belk of the Grand Rapids Police Dept. went on to say that 34-year-old Rodrick Shonte Dantzler was consuming cocaine and alcohol during the entire event yesterday. When one reporter asked Belk about how safe this city is, speaking in regards to the Forth of July shooting and then the situation yesterday. A rather upset Mayor George Hartwell stepped-in to answer that question. His reply,
"Grand Rapids is the same strong, dynamic community that it was last week", "I don't think that it has changed Grand Rapids in ANY way!"
Mayor Hartwell went on to praise local and state authorities for their relentless pursuit of a gunman who killed seven people and for their negotiating skill that helped keep three hostages alive.
We have been receiving phone calls and emails as to why some GRPD cruisers have blue wrapping covering the overhead lightbars. When I spoke to the GRPD over the phone, they said,
"It is to signify to the public that those police vehicles are out of service as the police cars that were damaged yesterday are being shuttled around town for repair. But the only significance for the lightbars being covered-up is to let the public know that those vehicles are not in service at this time."
Something we also learned from the GRPD press conference is that the candle light vigil that is planned for 8:30 tonight at the Gerald R. Ford Museum has been expanded to Ah-Nab-Awen park to help accommodate the crowd. The museum has also decided to open up the parking lot for free for this event.
Another event that was mentioned by GRPD Chief Belk, is a community meeting Wednesday at 7pm at the Second Congressional Church off Plainfield near where the stand-off incident took place.
