I have many "Aha" moments in the shower crying out for documentation. I will also use this blog to document my new startup, "Going One to One", an online course for schools who need help doing three big shifts at once: purchasing computers for each student, promoting student-centered learning, and adopting Google Apps for Education.
I am developing a course for which I will create Adobe Captivate eLearning modules that translate content-area lessons into activities for 1:1 classrooms using Google Apps for Education.

Zero hour contracts: UK employment success is a fallacy
The government may be quick to boast of record-high employment levels over the past year, but in reality UK employment is more unstable than ever.
The majority of jobs contributing to the rising employment levels are low paid, part-time and insecure.
So while many people no longer qualify as unemployed, they are still not making the money they need to live on. In fact, they may even be worse off as working more than 16 hours per week means they no longer qualify for Job Seeker's Allowance or Income Support.
Last year, the Resolution Foundation found that around five million additional hours are required per week to meet the demands of underemployed workers in the UK.
Even more dangerous than increased part-time employment, is the rise in employers offering zero-hour contracts.
Zero-hour contracts mean workers have no guarantee of income as employers can decide what hours to allocate them on a week-by-week basis. The number of UK workers on this type of contract is now bordering on one million.
Zero-hour contracts are not only a massive detriment to income security, but to social and personal lives as well. Workers can't consolidate plans until up to a week in advance as they don't know when they will be required to work. For the same reason, it is difficult for someone on a zero-hour contract to work more than one job.
The use of zero-hour contracts also allows employers to side-step unfair dismissal laws. UK employment law states that an employer must have a valid reason for firing someone; if not they have to be offered a redundancy. However, if somebody is on a zero-hour contract their employer can simply stop giving them hours, creating a de facto firing.
While many argue that zero-hour contracts offer flexibility, this flexibility almost always benefits the employer, not the employee. Although there may be cases in which the employee has some input into how many hours they work on any particular week, the end decision is always the employer's.
If an individual requires a job in which the hours vary week-by-week, this can still be obtained without a zero-hour contract. Instead, the job contract should specify a weekly minimum or an average number of hours-the average hours to be met with to a specified degree of accuracy.
A further issue regarding unstable employment, is that some companies pay individuals on the basis that they are representatives or contractors rather than employees. This allows them to side-step hourly minimum wage rates and other benefits such as holiday pay.
This kind of work includes the likes of Avon Reps who are technically classified as being self-employed.
This type of dubious pseudo-employment has reached headlines recently regarding Deliveroo, a fast-food distribution company that has been known to target students specifically.
Deliveroo claim that paying distributors by delivery rather than an hourly wage and denying them fundamental worker's rights is legal because distributors classify as self-employed contractors.
However, a representative from the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain has disputed this claim on the basis that Deliveroo distributors are required to wear uniforms, to work on particular days and to follow direct instructions from Deliveroo.
All these elements suggest that Deliveroo distributors should be legally recognised as employees, and be subject to worker's right.
It's not just workers who are suffering from the rise in unstable employment either. Last month's estimates suggested that £4 billion per year in potential tax revenue is lost as a result of underemployment. That means less money for the Treasury, meaning less money into essential services like education and the NHS.
The optimistic light we have come to consider UK employment these past few months is based on misconceptions and government misrepresentations. Increased employment is not always good- and this is something we must come to realise.

Q: Show Rails Simple Form view with dashes I'm trying to achieve something that is probably very simple but I can't figure out the correct way to do it. Using Ruby on Rails and the Simple Form gem I have an input for bank sort code:
<%= simple_form_for @direct_debit, url: direct_debit_payment_path do |f| %>
   <%= f.input :bank_sort_code, placeholder: "6 digit sort code", id: "Sort-code", label: "Bank Sort Code" %>
<% end %>

I would simply like this to display as the client types in a normal bank sort code format: 12-34-56.
Also, I have a model validation to check that the field has a maximum of 6 numbers after sending the form, however I would like the client to literally not be able to type more than 6. Is this possible? Thanks!

A: I suggest you to use maxlength attribute for second part of you question
= f.input :bank_sort_code, placeholder: "6 digit sort code",
  id: "Sort-code", label: "Bank Sort Code",
  input_html: { maxlength: 6 }

And for beautify input value format you can try jquery maskedinput plugin
jQuery(function($){
   $("#Sort-code").mask("99-99-99", {placeholder: "6 digit sort code" });
});

But if you'll use it, you should check your maxlength input attribute.

Why Can't Some People Stop Fidgeting?
We all know someone who can't stop fidgeting. But is their habit actually helpful?
Fidgeting is defined as "small movements, especially of the hands and feet, caused by nervousness or impatience." Often when people fidget, we blame it on having eaten too much sugar, drinking too much coffee, or watching too much T.V. But fidgeting isn't a product of our modern era. In fact, it seems to be a part of human nature and play play a part in learning for some. Science has another explanation for fidgeting and it has nothing to do with nervousness, impatience, or drinking too much Red Bull. It's a method of keeping the brain active and focused. When people are under a lot of stress, we don't pay as close attention to our surroundings and we don't learn as much. Cognitive Load Theory basically says that if too much is going on, the brain can't focus. To offload some of that stress, the brain might trigger our fidgeting behaviors. Since lower stress is associated with better learning and memory performance, fidgeting could, in theory, help us learn.
For reasons unknown to scientists, men fidget twice as much as women do. A 2005 study from the University of Hertfordshire found fidgeting reduces levels of cortisol, a stress hormone. A study in the journal PLoS ONE, however, found that fidgeting only reduces stress in men. They administered a series of cognitive tests on fidgeting men and women. The men performed better and had lower stress, but female test subjects did not do either. Another study, published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, assessed the memory of young boys who fidget and its relationship to ADHD. When ADHD kids were put in a swivel chair and allowed to spin, they performed better on memory tests. However, kids without ADHD performed worse when they were allowed to spin, and better when they stayed still. So maybe boys with ADHD need to fidget in order to learn better?
Fidgeting seems to be an indication that our brain is trying to keep us on task. It can be irksome to people around those who fidget, but otherwise it's not bad (some studies found it actually burns a lot of calories!) Do you fidget? Do you find that it helps you focus? Do you get driven crazy by friends who fidget? Let us know in comments down below.
"When I tell a kid, 'Sit down, don't move, stop tapping, stop bouncing,' the kids are spending all their mental energy concentrating on that rule. And that doesn't allow them to concentrate on what we're asking them to do, which is their homework."
"The relationship we have shown between fidgeting and retention suggest that fidgeting may be an effective indicator of times when interventions (e.g., rest break or a change in lecture pacing) may be of particular benefit to educational outcomes."

Swish partners with point software to aid federal supply chain agency
Category: #technology By Akshay Kedari Date: 2020-11-04
Swish Data, Northern Virginia-based trusted Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) provider of technology solutions, has reportedly partnered with Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. to help a U.S. Federal supply chain management agency in strengthening the security landscape.
Both companies will assist the agency in meeting COVID-19 pandemic challenges to securely manage a supply chain of billions of dollars in services and goods in a support of national security.
With a commitment to responsiveness and agility, the agency requires a strong security strategy that conveniently works without the need to consistently troubleshoot and optimize. Swish and Check Point have closed the agreement worth USD 14 million to enable the agency's mission success.
Speaking which, Monty Deel, CEO at Swish said that things reached a crucial peak for the agency when the COVID-19 pandemic struck. They have become a prominent player in the federal government's response efforts to tackle COVID-19, he said while adding that they were anticipated to meet all provisional requirements and transition around 65% of their workforce to remote working securely.
Check Point and Swish helped the agency in transitioning to telework without security breaches or changes to their present security infrastructure. The agency was optimized and ready to conventionally manage the increased remote workload along with the surge in COVID-19 pandemic mission requirements.
Mr. Deel further added that this couldn't have occurred without the reliable security infrastructure offered by Check Point and Swish. The Check Point security platform performed extraordinary well under the extra stress of telework and the agency continues to expand the platform as their requirement change, he states.
For the record, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. is one of the leading providers of cybersecurity solutions to corporate and government enterprises across the globe. Check Point and Swish data will continue to offer a top-notch level of security the agency depends on to complete their daily missions.

The owner of iconic brands like DKNY posted disappointing earnings, but its new partnership with Macy's could be encouraging.
Apparel maker G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (NASDAQ:GIII) is seeing its stock take a turn for the worse after reporting Q4 and full-year 2016, including lower 2017 guidance than the market expected. The stock was down as much as 14% during trading today.
G-III Apparel is the parent company of brands like DKNY, which it acquired in December 2016, and the distributor for some other high-profile brands like Ivanka Trump. The company reported sales for the fourth quarter ended Jan. 31 of $603 million, up nearly 15% year over year but still below expectations. However, it reported a net loss for the year of $0.42 per share compared with positive earnings of $0.17 per share for the year-ago period. Earnings per share for the full fiscal year was $1.12, less than half of what it was in fiscal 2015.
One interesting piece of news out recently is that G-III has inked a deal with Macy's (NYSE:M) for the retailer to be the exclusive U.S. department store to sell DKNY women's apparel, handbags, and shoes, as well as men's and women's outerwear and swimwear. These companies plan for DKNY to be a "shop-in-shop" within Macy's locations.
For fiscal year 2017, the company is expecting sales of $2.73 billion, which would be about a 16% jump year over year, but for net income to drop another 14%-24%. Management said in the release that some of their segments performed well regardless of "significant headwinds as the traditional retail environment has become increasingly disrupted as a result of evolving consumer buying behavior and continued penetration of e-commerce." The lower-than-anticipated guidance is disappointing, but growing sales certainly look interesting for a stock trading at just 11 times earnings.

Alexisonfire Bio:
Alexisonfire rose up out of the Southern Ontario underground in late 2001 like some monstrous and utterly captivating car-accident-in-progress. Hitting the ground with an immediate full head of steam, Dallas Green, George Pettit, Wade MacNeil, Chris Steele and Jordan Hastings have not only impressed the critics with their sour/sweet approach to performance and writing, but are recognized for their stellar musicianship, and the palpably pent-up tightness of the band live.
This is music for both sides of your brain. In your left ear, the poignant and melodic vocals of Dallas, injected with the devilishly sweet phrasings of the axe-wielding Wade, speak of impulse and introspection. In your right ear, George offers the testimony of the tortured soul, syncopated power-scream vocals that energize and counterpoint -- a couple of cartoon-character angels and devils sitting on your shoulders, offering 2 very different interpretations of the same musical message.
Alexisonfire knows that the fans aren't stupid. The fans know the real deal when they see it, and in the case of AOF, they seem to have told 2 friends, who told 2 friends, and so on. During the year that followed the release of the self-titled 2002 debut album, the band has shot into the spotlight like a streaker at an All-Star game: Gold Record certification in Canada for both debut and sophomore albums; 5 videos reaching Heavy rotation on MuchMusic, 2 MMVA awards; New Group of the Year at the 2005 Junos; album releases and major tours in Japan, Australia and the UK. This may all sound like SOP for an up-and-coming rock ensemble, but this is a band that often describes its music as "the sound of two Catholic high-school girls in mid-knife-fight". This hasn't happened before. Nobody is more aware of this fact than the St. Catharines' natives. Taking it all in stride, they remain guile-less, affable, and capable of equal amounts of sarcasm and self-deprecation. And with the new album "Crisis", Alexisonfire have, dare we say it, matured.
With songs ranging in subject matter from the Blizzard of 1977 which paralyzed portions of the Niagara and Northern New York region, to disenfranchised steadfast employees, the album on a whole embodies a much darker theme. AOF attributes this to traveling around the world the last couple of years then coming back home and seeing things without rose coloured glasses.
As for writing the album, the process was much more "rhythmically liberal" than anything the band's ever worked on. There was no format, no formula. Alexisonfire wasn't concerned with making a "hit" or following any "rules", just creating songs that the greater sum of each part loved to play live. They wanted to create songs that were anthemic. They wanted to play songs that hit kids in the chest. This translated into the mindset the band took into the studio. AOF stripped everything down and learned to write and record a record that captures the essence of the band's live sound, without looping or overdubs or layers.
So if you stop and listen, or God forbid, see a live show, it'll all oddly start to make sense...

Yay Star of bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum)

Giant Hogweed was only introduced to the United States in the last century. It's an invasive, large species that features hollow, ridged stems, white blooms that grow in massive compound umbels, and large, 5-feet-wide, compound, and incised leaves. This plant grows along streams, yards, rivers, and roadsides in well-drained, moist sunlight with abundant light. It's an exceptionally poisonous plant, and skin contact with its parts or sap in the presence of UV light can cause itching, blistering, and swelling that lasts for months and causes your skin to become UV sensitive.
Jerry Kirkhart Poison Oak
Poison Oak is a southeastern United States, North American, and Western North American native that contains urushiol. Direct contact with its sap and laves will cause your skin to develop painful inflammation and itch. It can grow into a climbing woody vine or a small shrub with compound foliage featuring five-lobed leaflets. This slow-growing, upright shrub has dull green leaves that are distinctly teethed and resemble oak leaves.
Yay Stinging nettle (urtica dioica)
Also known as Common Nettle, Stinging Nettle is a weedy, herbaceous, perennial plant known for its stinging leaves. It features yellow creeping rhizomes, toothed, opposite leaves covered in several stinging and non-stinging hairs, and tiny white or green blooms that grow in dense, whorled clusters.

Lantana is a tropical American weed that blooms pin, yellow, orange, and white flower heads in multiple combinations. It features aromatic, rough, simple, oval-shaped leaves and clusters of poisonous berries.

Lantana contains triterpene acids latadene A and B, which can impact the liver and gallbladder negatively.
Yay Caladium
Also known as Elephant Ear and Heart of Jesus, Caladium is a tuberous herbaceous plant with showy, variable-hued leaves that are shaped like a heart or arrow. The Caladium plant is a non-hardy ornamental that can be planted indoors and outdoors. However, all parts of the plant are considered poisonous since it contains calcium oxalate crystals.

Yay Hydrangeas
Ortensya or Hortensya is a shrub with striking clusters of colorful blooms that grow in shades of red, lavender, vibrant pink, clear blue, and frosty white. These rapidly growing shrubs are quite popular across the world despite being poisonous to humans and animals.

Ubisoft CEO reportedly apologises to devs for 'ball is in your court' comments
Yves Guillemot had seemingly suggested the onus was on staff to reverse the company's fortunes
18th Jan 2023 / 7:57 pm
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot reportedly opened a company-wide Q&A on Wednesday by apologising for recent comments he made which have been poorly received by developers.
In an email sent to employees last week coinciding with the announcement of a product delay, cancellations and a reduced earnings forecast, Guillemot reportedly suggested the onus was on workers to deliver on the company's latest targets in order to reverse its fortunes.
Last week Ubisoft said it had delayed Skull and Bones to its next fiscal year, which begins in April and runs until March 2024. During this period it's also planning to release Assassin's Creed Mirage, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, "and other yet-to-be-announced premium games, including a large one, as well as promising free-to-play titles for some of our biggest brands".
Assassin's Creed Mirage: Cinematic World Premiere
In his email to staff, which was viewed by Kotaku, Guillemot wrote: "The ball is in your court to deliver this line-up on time and at the expected level of quality, and show everyone what we are capable of achieving."
His comments appeared to place the burden of responsibility for fixing the company's problems on its developers, but Guillemot has now said this is not how they were meant to come across.
"The ball is now in our court—for years it has been in your court so why did you mishandle the ball so badly so we, the workers, have to fix it for you?" read a staff question included on a list submitted to Ubisoft's management ahead of today's meeting, which was viewed by Kotaku.
Guillemot reportedly opened the meeting by addressing the question. "I heard your feedback and I'm sorry this was perceived that way," he said, according to the site's sources. "When saying 'the ball is in your court' to deliver our lineup on time and at the expected level of quality, I wanted to convey the idea that more than ever I need your talent and energy to make it happen.
"This is a collective journey that starts of course with myself and with the leadership team to create the conditions for all of us to succeed together."
Following Guillemot's comments last week, the Ubisoft Paris section of tech-focused union Solidaires Informatique called on workers to stage a half-day strike later this month.
It also issued a list of four demands to Ubisoft, including an immediate 10% increase for all salaries "to compensate for inflation" and improved working conditions including the introduction of a four-day week.
According to Kotaku's sources, the proposed strike wasn't addressed during Wednesday's Q&A. Chief people officer Anika Grant did however reject a proposal for four-day work weeks and said raises to match inflation weren't being considered in light of the company's current financial situation.
Union calls on Ubisoft Paris workers to strike after 'worrying' CEO comments
Yves Guillemot has been accused of shifting the blame for the company's troubles onto employees
Last week Ubisoft said it had cancelled three unannounced games and was planning to strengthen its focus on its biggest brands and live services following weaker than expected software sales over the holiday season.
It also announced plans to make some €200 million in cost cuts over the next two years "through targeted restructuring, divesting some non-core assets and usual natural attrition".
Guillemot reportedly remained vague on the subject of potential layoffs on Wednesday. "It's not about doing more with less, but finding ways to do things differently across the company," he claimed.

He added that President Mahmoud Abbas will participate in the canonization celebrations in Rome May 17.
"We are having a very big celebration now. Especially now that we are living a very difficult time in the Middle East, to have two Palestinian saints is wonderful," said Sister Ferial of the Infant Jesus, a member of the Carmelite convent that Mariam Baouardy, Blessed Mary of Jesus Crucified, founded in Bethlehem. Thirteen sisters are members of the cloistered convent, with Sister Ferial the only Palestinian among them. Having joined the order four years ago after renouncing her previous life as a store owner and physiotherapist, she is also the only exterior member who serves as a connection between the sisters and the outside world.
Blessed Marie-Alphonsine, born Soultaneh Maria Ghattas was born in Jerusalem in 1843 and is the founder of the Dominican Sisters of the Holy Rosary of Jerusalem, the first and still the only Palestinian women's religious congregation. The Rosary Sisters are well-known in the Holy Land and the Middle East for their numerous educational institutions and were the first to open schools for girls in the villages visited by Mother Marie-Alphonsine, as she is known. They are particularly well-loved by local Catholics for their close connection and understanding of the local people, their traditions and language.
Mariam Baouardy, a Melkite Catholic, was born in 1846 in the Galilee village of Ibillin and died in 1878 in Bethlehem after having traveled to Egypt, France and India. She founded a Carmelite convent in India and one in Nazareth. Also known as the Little Arab, or the flower of Galilee, she was granted a series of gifts such as ecstasy, levitation, the stigmata, transverberation of the heart and the gift of poetry.
At an April 18 ceremony in Ibillin consecrating St. Mary of Jesus Crucified Chapel, commissioned by the Melkite Catholic Church, Latin Patriarch Fouad Twal noted the importance of the two women in the formation of two religious orders in the Holy Land.
Mother Iness Al-Yacoub, superior general of the Rosary Sisters, said the canonization was a "big grace and blessing from God" for her congregation.
Mother Marie-Alphonsine is credited with saving at least two girls from drowning, one in 1885 in the city of Jaffa, and another, Natalie Zananiri, a former student of the Rosary Sisters high school in Jerusalem's Beit Hanina neighborhood. She was among five girls rescued from a collapsed septic tank 12 years ago. The girl's mother had prayed to Mother Marie-Alphonsine earlier in the morning on a premonition, asking her to protect her daughter, and the rescue was credited to the late nun's intercession. Her rescue paved the way for Mother Marie-Alphonsine's beatification in 2009. Blessed Mary was beatified in 1983.
Rimond Hayek, 58, a Catholic from the Galilee village of Deir Hanna, recently visited the Carmelite convent, where the nun's relics are kept.

Pfizer CEO hopes new at-home pill to treat COVID-19 will be available by end of year
The drug is part of a class of medicines called protease inhibitors and works by inhibiting an enzyme that the virus needs to replicate in human cells.
CDC eases outdoor mask guidelines

Pfizer's experimental oral drug to treat COVID-19 at the first sign of illness could be available by the end of the year, CEO Albert Bourla told CNBC on Tuesday.
The company, which developed the first authorized COVID-19 vaccine in the U.S. with German drugmaker BioNTech, began in March an early stage clinical trial testing a new antiviral therapy for the disease. The drug is part of a class of medicines called protease inhibitors and works by inhibiting an enzyme that the virus needs to replicate in human cells.
Protease inhibitors are used to treat other viral pathogens such as HIV and hepatitis C.
If clinical trials go well and the Food and Drug Administration approves it, the drug could be distributed across the U.S. by the end of the year, Bourla told CNBC's "Squawk Box."
Health experts say the drug, taken by mouth, could be a game changer because people newly infected with the virus could use it outside of hospitals. Researchers hope the medication will keep the disease from progressing and prevent hospital trips.
In addition to the drug, Pfizer is still testing its vaccine in 6-month to 11-year-old children. Vaccinating children is crucial to ending the coronavirus pandemic, public health officials and infectious disease experts say.
Earlier this month, the company asked the FDA to expand its vaccine authorization to adolescents ages 12 to 15 after the shot was found to be 100% effective in a study.
Bourla told CNBC on Tuesday he is "very optimistic" that the FDA will approve use of the shot in adolescents.

Lockheed Martin Not Studying AAW for Aegis Ashore for MDA

Lockheed Martin is not currently studying adding an anti-air warfare (AAW) capability to the Navy's two Aegis Ashore ballistic missile defense (BMD) installations in Romania and Poland for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), the company said on Thursday correcting comments made by a company official last week during a briefing on the program.
In a statement, the company said its official misspoke and the comments were based on dated information.
"Lockheed Martin is not under any taking by the MDA to implement AAW at this time for Aegis Ashore," read the statement.
"Aegis Ashore is BMD only."
The company did conduct a classified study on adding AAW for MDA in 2010, MDA told USNI News on Thursday.
While the company is not currently studying the AAW question, members in Congress have raised the question with MDA and the Department of Defense.
Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) asked about the capability for the Aegis Ashore sites to defend themselves against air attacks in light of Russia's increased activity in Europe.
"I think it is a very important signal to send that we intend to protect that site and that there are consequences to the aggressive behavior we've seen recently," he said during a March 19 missile defense hearing before the House Armed Services Committee.
Last week, Lockheed officials indicated the modifications to the sites would not be hard.
"We think it wouldn't not be tremendously difficult because that's the same configuration we're delivering to destroyers today," said Jim Sheridan, Director of AEGIS development for Lockheed Martin.
Aegis Ashore — created in conjunction with MDA and the Navy — uses the SPY-1D radar and the MK 41 vertical launch system tubes native to the Navy's Arleigh Burke guided missile destroyers (DDG) to detect and launch Standard Missile 3 interceptors to counter ballistic missile threats.
The first Aegis Ashore site in Romania is set to go online later this year.

Trump's Evangelical Advisers Could Help Him Secure a Win on Sentencing Reform
Conservative Christian leaders are a major force behind criminal-justice legislation being considered in the Senate. But black and progressive clergy see danger in allying with the president, even on this issue.
President Donald Trump with Paula White, a Florida pastor and one of the major proponents of the First Step ActAlex Brandon
Long-stalled legislation on sentencing reform may squeeze through Congress in the last few weeks of this session. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced on Tuesday that the Senate will take up the FIRST STEP Act, which would create some flexibility around sentencing and release for certain inmates held in federal prisons. President Donald Trump has been a major backer of the bill—"Go for it Mitch!" he tweeted on Friday. Successful legislation would be a major bipartisan victory for the White House.
Along the way, one group in particular has been pushing for passage of these reforms: Trump's circle of evangelical advisers, who helped inspire the bill. White, conservative Christian leaders are now in a position to help deliver a bipartisan compromise that could soften thousands of people's sentences, largely those for drug-related offenses. Their African American and liberal counterparts, meanwhile, have felt conflicted about collaborating with the administration, even on a topic they care about deeply.
This wonkish sentencing-reform legislation has become a case study in the tensions among Christians in the Trump era. While religious leaders on both sides of the political spectrum care about this issue, they fundamentally disagree on whether to boycott or cooperate with this administration, and whether incremental victories on racialized issues will actually further the mission of the Church in the long term.
[Read: Mitch McConnell appears to be killing bipartisan sentencing reform.]
From time to time, the president invites a close group of influential Christian leaders to dine with him in the White House. These gatherings mostly offer a chance for selfies and mutual adoration. But they also give pastors the chance to float ideas past the president. The beginnings of the FIRST STEP Act came about during a conversation at one such dinner, according to Religion News Service. Jentezen Franklin, a Georgia megachurch pastor, told me that Trump's advisers started talking to him about this issue before he was even elected.
A bill incorporating some of these ideas was introduced in May 2018. But even with resoundingly positive support in the House—it passed by a vote of 360–59—it lost momentum in the Senate, and appeared to be dead. Major Republican losses in the November election made the prospect of passage seem even dimmer in the next Congress.
So prominent evangelical leaders began agitating for the bill to get a second life. Franklin told me he recently held a call with pastors in Kentucky, asking them to reach out to McConnell about the importance of this bill. Ralph Reed, a Christian political operative, tweeted his support for the legislation, winning a "second" from Jack Graham, an influential conservative megachurch pastor in Texas. The president shared an op-ed praising the bill from Paula White, a Florida megachurch pastor, on Facebook. "We can't forget the debt that offenders owe society," she wrote, "but, with Christian love in our hearts, we can provide the tools they need to work towards their own redemption."
At least on the surface, it's not intuitive that conservative evangelicals would be champions of criminal-justice reform. But the evangelical movement has a long history with prison reform, said Aaron Griffith, a postdoctoral research associate at Washington University in St. Louis. In the late-18th and early-19th centuries, evangelical reformers agitated for more humane criminal punishments and helped construct penitentiaries in places such as New York and Pennsylvania. In the 20th century, prison ministries became a popular method of evangelization.
[Read: How Trump is remaking evangelicalism]
During the peak years of the religious right, the face of this kind of outreach was Chuck Colson, a former Nixon-administration official who went to prison in association with the Watergate scandal. After a dramatic conversion to Christianity, Colson created the Prison Fellowship, an influential ministry for prisoners and their families that advocates for criminal-justice reform.
Colson made "criminal-justice issues safe for evangelical conservatives," Griffith said. He readily admitted the flaws in the Nixon-era appeals to law and order, which laid a foundation for the mass incarceration of low-level drug offenders. But he made this critique in conservative terms. "He's talking about prisons and the … carceral state as a problem with big government," Griffith said. "He's saying there is no bigger government entity than this complex, bureaucratic mess."
Conservative religious leaders like Colson saw prisoners as a natural audience for outreach ministries "because prisons are theoretically supposed to be spaces of personal transformation," Griffith said. An opportunity to help people remake their life fits neatly into the idiom of evangelicalism, which is focused on personal salvation. This logic has been clear in evangelical leaders' recent calls for Congress to act on the FIRST STEP Act: Reed called it "a first step to a redemptive justice system."
[Read: Trump's evangelical allies really didn't like Jeff Sessions.]
Other Christian clergy have been wary of Trump's push for reform, however. They are skeptical that working with the president on anything, even an issue they care about, will be helpful to the people they serve. In August, Trump hosted a meeting of "inner-city pastors"—mostly black leaders from charismatic or Pentecostal-leaning churches—to talk about criminal-justice issues. "I went because I believe I was sent," said John Gray, a South Carolina pastor, on CNN. "Alignment, or even speaking, does not mean agreement. Dialogue does not mean agreement. Sitting at the table does not mean agreement."
Many prominent black clergy disagreed. The meeting prompted an immediate backlash, including a letter of condemnation signed by a range of denominational leaders. "It was unsettling and upsetting to witness the meeting with you, our moral leaders, and one of the most amoral persons to ever occupy the White House in the name of discussing prison reform," they wrote.
One of the signatories of that letter, Traci Blackmon, an executive minister for the United Church of Christ (UCC) and the pastor of a UCC church near Ferguson, Missouri, said she is still skeptical about what the Trump administration and congressional Republicans are trying to accomplish with this bill. "This is coming without any analysis, any confession, any acknowledgment of how we got where we are right now," she said. "The reason that we have such large numbers of … caged people is not rooted in crime. It's rooted in hate."
This seems to be the greatest source of progressive clergy's skepticism about the proposed reforms: They don't believe the president is committed to fighting the deeper structural problems that have led the United States to have the highest incarceration rate in the world, including racist policing and rhetoric that demonizes black men.
"I would say that you have to be extremely cautious [of] the way that an administration that is actively driven by white nationalism is using [this] issue," said Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, a North Carolina evangelical pastor who works with the Reverend William Barber on the Poor People's Campaign. "I don't think it can be a kind of photo op that people show up for, and celebrate, in a way that doesn't address the much broader issues that aren't included in an act like that."
The bill is limited in what it aims to accomplish. It only applies to the federal prison system, which accounts for less than 10 percent of incarcerated people in the United States. Among that population, only a fraction would be affected by this legislation: It offers relief to people convicted of harsh crack-related sentences prior to 2010, curbs certain mandatory minimum sentences, and offers expanded early-release opportunities for good behavior. The bill also formalizes a Bureau of Prisons policy that all but bans the use of restraints on pregnant women.
The legislation has united some religious figures who have been critical of the president. Russell Moore, the head of the political arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, has advocated the bill's passage for months, and the progressive evangelical leader Jim Wallis has written of his support. Despite his objections to the president, even Wilson-Hartgrove said he would be glad to see the bill passed.
But Blackmon said she does not support even this incremental legislation. Ultimately, she said, it matters that the mostly white, conservative Christian figures who have pushed for it are not embedded in the communities most affected by America's criminal-justice system. Even the handful of black leaders involved are not credible, she said: "Don't buy in to the illusion that because someone with black skin is in the room, the needs of the black community are in the room."
If the FIRST STEP Act makes it through the Senate—which is definitely not guaranteed amid a packed end-of-year docket—it will ratify the influence of Trump's evangelical leaders. Their victory would also ratify the bet they have made: It's worth it to take meetings with the president and support his policies, they argue. Their power and influence can produce real change.
In a different political era, this effort might have also signaled the rise of a new kind of evangelical political coalition, one that's not exclusively focused on culture-war issues and that expends political capital in contentious policy areas such as criminal-justice reform. "So many times, evangelicals are known for what they're against. They're against abortion; they're against gay marriage," Franklin said. "We also are just as much for justice."
But under Trump, even bipartisan consensus is fraught with division, and this is especially true within American Christianity. Where some clergy see an opportunity to work with the president to produce good, others feel morally bound to stay away.

Tartar rots our life and makes our smile much less beautiful! Even when dental hygiene is more than exemplary, the plaque tends to accumulate on our teeth and to become our worst enemy: tartar. Brushing regularly and using mouthwash and floss are some of the things that can help get rid of dental plaque and thus prevent the creation of tartar. However, it is sometimes necessary to resort to other means to get rid of tartar.
Here are 7 best ways to get rid of tartar. Our methods are safe for your teeth and your health, but they must be applied according to certain rules. In short, we use it without abusing it! Finding a smile worthy of an advertisement for toothpaste is one of our beauty aspirations, and it's easier to achieve than we think. Just a little will and follow the advice. Let's go!
Baking soda is an ingredient that is often found in our kitchens. It is useful for many occasions but also for the teeth. It can indeed make them whiter and polish them. Baking soda has a rather abrasive effect, which effectively eliminates plaque, responsible for the formation of tartar when we do not take care to remove it often enough.
However, be careful not to use it too often. Baking soda is not harmful to your health, but you must be careful not to swallow it and not to brush your teeth too often, as this may cause inflammation of the gums. It is mixed with water that is applied to obtain a paste that is then applied to his teeth using a toothbrush. You can then either leave for ten minutes before rinsing or brush your teeth using the paste as a toothpaste. The operation is repeated two to three times a week.
The aloe vera extract can be rubbed on the teeth and left on for about 10 minutes before being rinsed. It will have a double positive effect on your teeth: on the one hand it will make them whiter and on the other hand it will kill the bacteria at the origin of the formation of dental plaque and thus tartar, thus allowing your smile to keep its white effect, and allowing you to get rid of tartar naturally, without going through the dentist box!
Aloe vera will also help you have good breath in all circumstances and has antiseptic properties. It fights against the accumulation of microbes responsible for tartar. But also because your teeth turn yellow and bad breath. You can buy aloe vera extract in para-pharmacy or extract it yourself by crushing its leaves and rubbing them directly on the enamel of your teeth.
To get rid of tartar, nothing like guava! Guava not only tastes great, it also has extraordinary properties for your teeth: and for good reason. It fights against the formation of dental plaque and has antiseptic properties that can fight against inflammation of the gums. Which it can cause pain in the gums or bad breath.
To use it, you can chew guava leaves for a few seconds before spitting out or still eat guava with a little salt. If you do not like the taste, eat guavas in the form that you prefer and even in juice if you press it yourself. All means are good to have beautiful teeth and a guaranteed smile without tartar. And then, who does not like the taste of this delicious fruit?
To get rid of tartar it is possible to use clove. You can love or dislike the smell. But you have to recognize its incredible health and beauty! Clove is indeed a miracle ingredient that fights germs and bad breath. Of course, we do not bite directly into a clove: it would not be very pleasant, and not necessarily very effective either!
It is best to mix a tablespoon of clove powder with olive oil before applying this mixture to your teeth. It can be applied with his fingers or a toothbrush that will be reserved for this use (it could indeed take the shade of clove powder). The mixture is left on the teeth for a few minutes before rinsing with water at room temperature. It is repeated two to three times a week to get rid of dental plaque and have a better breath.
The white vinegar that we all have in our kitchen can have a beneficial effect on our smile and help us get rid of tartar. Indeed, vinegar helps fight the microbes responsible for the accumulation of dental plaque. By using it on your teeth, you make them cleaner and more beautiful, and you reduce your chances of having cavities, to which the formation of dental plaque contributes.
For good results, white vinegar is mixed with salt in a glass of warm water. The mixture is used as a mouthwash once a day, preferably after brushing in the morning or evening. The beneficial effects of white vinegar should be felt fairly quickly by the person using this trick. We know that vinegar does not taste very good. But mixed with water, it is better tolerated.
Lavender essential oil is a beauty and miracle health tool. It makes it possible to purify the air, to calm, to improve the quality of sleep of the person who uses it. It repels even mosquitoes and other insects not pleasant which appear in summer. But what we do not talk often enough is the beneficial effect of lavender essential oil to get rid of dental plaque and therefore tartar.
To use it, two drops of lavender essential oil are mixed with coconut oil or water. Rinse your mouth with the mixture once or twice a day, exactly the same way you would with a classic mouthwash. The effect of this on plaque and calculus will soon be noticed. The teeth will also appear whiter and the breath will be fresher. We do not say no, especially to such a natural and effective product!
Black tea is good for the taste and for health but it has more than negative effects on the formation of tartar. Consuming regularly promotes the formation of dental plaque. Other foods have negative effects on dental plaque and promote the appearance of tartar such as coffee consumption or foods too rich in refined sugars and bad fats. It is therefore important to limit the amount of food that is bad for tartar and plaque.
Stopping smoking is also recommended to get rid of tartar effectively and permanently. You can also eat more vegetables and fruits, such as apples that help clean the teeth and strengthen their enamel.
