Ecuador Leads By Example in the Great Global Migration Debate

Ecuador will soon consider a groundbreaking new migration bill, which was presented to the National Assembly on July 16, 2015. The Organic Law of Human Mobility addresses the country's various emigration and immigration waves and offers a new foundation on how to better understand people who relocate. Lawmaker Esteban Melo explained that under the new bill, "no human being will be considered illegal."
While the rest of the world – the U.S. and Europe included – have been busy limiting legal migration routes and finding ways to keep "illegal" or undocumented people and refugees out, Ecuador may adopt a game-changing point of view that emphasizes the human quality in people that move. The law prioritizes changing the way we see and label migrating individuals regardless of the reason for a person's desire to relocate.
In the U.S., the current debate emphasizes a difference in semantics and political opinion. Is a person "illegal" if he enters the country without a visa or any legal documents? The answer depends on who you ask, but one thing's for certain – these people are not criminals. Being in the U.S. without legal status does not by itself constitute a criminal violation, rather it is a civil violation.
Ecuador takes this age-old debate down a different path and instead ensures a level of equality between emigrants, immigrants, refugees, and all others who fall in between the labels. The Organic Law of Human Mobility is designed to respect the principle of universal citizenship, the right of people to migrate, and particularly addresses the needs of refugees and victims of human trafficking. It was created in order to bring Ecuador's migration laws in line with their 2008 constitution. Article 40 states that "the right to migrate of persons is recognized. No human being shall be identified or considered as illegal because of his/her migratory status." The constitution also details a list of obligations towards arrivals from other countries.
The new legislation will cover all areas of migration, as well as visas, passports, and identity documents for foreigners. According to Ecuador's president Rafael Correa, the bill guarantees rights to foreigners in Ecuador, including asylum-seekers, the stateless, and returning emigrants. In addition, the government is also planning on introducing programs to integrate foreigners into day-to-day Ecuadorian life.

Ecuador is an important migrant destination and has Latin America's largest refugee population, largely fueled by the conflict in neighboring Colombia. But there have also been major waves of Ecuadorian emigration. Since the early 1980s, Ecuadorians have been going overseas and today an estimated 1.5 million to 2 million live abroad in the U.S., Spain, or Italy. Correa is the first president to reach out to the Ecuadorian diaspora living overseas, and since 2007 has encouraged their return. Correa's campaign, called "Welcome Home: For a Voluntary, Dignified and Sustainable Return," was implemented to help families with their transition. Return migration from Spain specifically has increased.
Significant inflows of Peruvians and Colombians are also changing demographics. Armed conflict among the Colombian military, paramilitaries, and the rebel group FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces) has been a major push factor for fleeing refugees and the Ecuadorian government has struggled to address the influx of asylum-seekers to their borders. According to the Migration Policy Institute, the country is also the destination of exploited women and girls from Colombia, Paraguay, and Peru, and the source region for a small number of Ecuadorian women who are sex trafficked to Colombia and Brazil.
The new bill is likely a response to criticism from human rights organizations that claim Ecuador was not offering adequate protection to vulnerable migrants. Human Rights Watch, for instance, said that asylum application procedures in the country did not provide rigorous safeguards that international standards require.
The motivation to repatriate Ecuadorian emigrants was also probably a factor in pushing for new legislation. National Assembly President Rivadeneira said that the bill contains measures to attend to the special needs unique to Ecuador, in particular of those people who are returning to the country after having lived abroad.
Ecuador's new migration bill emphasizes the fact that mobility as a human right must be central to developing policies. The stigmatized reputation, that immigrants steal resources and jobs from nationals of their host country, is prevalent internationally; but because Ecuador is trying to attract its own citizens to come back, the rhetoric has a different, friendlier tone to all those seeking opportunity in the country.
Like all laws, the bill will be subject to a debate by government officials in late 2015 or early next year. Whether Ecuador can actually implement this new approach remains to be seen, but hopefully other countries will take note of the intention and follow suit with a change in perspective.

Verizon Set to Launch Over-the-Top Service Soon
By Ray Sheffer
Verizon's over-the-top service
In the earlier parts of this series, we looked at Verizon's new wireless offering. Now we'll turn to look at some of the other key points raised by Verizon at the Oppenheimer 18th Annual Technology, Internet & Communications Conference held on August 11, 2015.
Verizon's planned launch of its OTT (over-the-top) offering remains some time in late summer. During the event, David Small, Verizon Wireless's COO, said, "You can expect that towards the latter part of the summer and in that particular regard, we feel very good about it. It's not just for Verizon Wireless consumers; it will be for all mobile subscribers who want to take advantage of video on the go."
Verizon is leveraging its acquisitions of AOL, upLynk, OnCue, and EdgeCast for its new OTT service. The multi-device video encoding service upLynk and the content delivery network EdgeCast have boosted Verizon's capabilities to distribute video content efficiently. And OnCue used to be Intel's (INTC) Internet TV service.
You should note that upLynk is also used by companies such as Walt Disney (DIS).
According to Verizon, the new OTT service will leverage AOL's content as well as its advertising capabilities. It has signed content deals with players including Scripps Network (SNI), AwesomenessTV, Vice, and DreamWorks for the new OTT service.
Verizon's over-the-top service to be called "Go90"
According to Variety.com, the Verizon OTT service is called Go90. A recent article reports that Verizon inadvertently leaked some key information about its new service on its site. "The website states that Go90 will deliver 'live music, exclusive events, best of web content, sports, prime time and more.' Users will be able to watch 'full length shows and short highlights, all for free,' the site boasts elsewhere."
You may invest in Verizon while diversifying your risk by investing in the iShares MSCI USA Minimum Volatility ETF (USMV). The ETF had ~1.4% exposure to the telecom company as of July 31, 2015.

What Would the Avas Have Us Do?
My middle school years marked the heyday of the What Would Jesus Do era. WWJD made its way onto license plates, t-shirts, and of course, bracelets. No self-respecting Manheim Township Middle School 7th grader who considered themselves a Christian was without a WWJD bracelet in every color that the Provident Bookstore had to offer. Later in life, I was surprised to learn that those bracelets that were all the rage in the early 90s come from a theology that is based on a novel written in 1896 that sought to teach Christian Socialism and the Social Gospel. Lost somewhere in the hype of being seen as properly Christian by wearing the right bracelet was the reality that What Would Jesus Do? is a shockingly countercultural question.
In the last few days, we've been reminded of what Jesus would do. He would eat dinner with sinners and tax collectors. He would turn the tables in the Temple and call to account a system of religion that was built upon on the backs of the faithful poor. He would stand up against the challenges of the Pharisees and Scribes, unafraid that it might cost him his reputation. He would challenge his followers to love one another. He would get down on his hands and knees and wash their feet. He would willingly be betrayed and handed over to be mocked, scourged, beaten, and ultimately killed in the name of love. And on this night, we are brought to mind, yet again, that Jesus would rise from the dead and in so doing defeat death forever.
As the Exsultet that Deacon Kellie sang so beautifully says so eloquently, "this is the night, when Christ broke the bonds of death and hell, and rose victorious from the grave." That's what Jesus would do. That's what Jesus did do. And so, we gather on this most holy night to recall the events of salvation history throughout time. We remember the covenant that God made with all of creation after the flood, that by the sign of the rainbow we would be reminded of God's promise to bring us back into relationship by another way. We remember the Exodus, and how on the banks of the Red Sea, God opened the waters so that God's chosen people might begin their journey to the Promised Land. We remember the testimony of the prophet Isaiah, and how every time a prophet proclaimed God's judgement upon the people, it was followed by the promise of restoration and renewal. We remember the vision of Zephaniah and the assurance that one day all people will be drawn into the loving embrace of God's forgiveness.
This night isn't simply about the events of the past, however. If tonight was only about things that had already happened, we'd be stuck looking for the living among the dead. No, what we are about on this night is what comes next. Our question isn't just "What did Jesus do?", but "What would Jesus do in Bowling Green, Kentucky in 2019?" So, on a night in which we recall the various ways in which God has called us back into right relationship, it is also especially appropriate that we baptize new members into the household of God. Through water and the Holy Spirit, we welcome two Avas into the ongoing story of God's salvation history. Alongside them, and with their sponsors, we recommit ourselves to what it means to follow the resurrected Jesus in world today, and we promise to seek God's help as we work to take our place in the resurrected life.
It is interesting to me that both of our newly baptized members are named Ava. Ava is a variant on the first name ever given, Eve, which is likely familiar to most of us. Eve was the wife of Adam. His name, Adam, wasn't really a name, but is simply the generic word for humankind. It is based on the world for dirt, from which God made humanity. Eve, on the other hand, is the Hebrew word for life. It seems particularly appropriate tonight, as we seek to encounter the resurrected Jesus alongside the two Avas, that we might reframe that age-old question. Not, what would Jesus do, but maybe tonight we ponder, what would Eve do? What would these Avas have us do? How will we live life differently as a result of the promises that we've made with them? What brings life, true life, eternal life, the resurrected life into the world? On this night in which we celebrate that Jesus Christ is risen, still, from the dead, to what kind of life does the resurrection call us? Let's not be about looking for the living among the dead, but rather, let's be about looking for stories of the resurrection life among those who are living it. So, while what would Jesus do is an important question to ask, this Easter, I invite you to carry with you our two Avas and instead ask, 'What would Ava, life, real, abundant, resurrection life, have me do? Amen.
One of the great gifts we have here at Christ Church is the front desk ministry. In two-hour shifts, sixteen faithful volunteers and a handful of fill-ins, make sure that guests are welcomed, the phone is answered, and sundry administrative details are handled. Having those things dealt with is nice, but the best part of it is the relationships. I've learned so much about our front desk volunteers over the past few years. I've heard stories of children and grandchildren. I've listened to great tales of business trips and family vacations. We've shared prayer concerns and laughs, all around the front desk in moments of brief exchange. I've also learned of some of the neat hobbies that people have. Richard Greer is a car guy. Maryanne Ringo makes dog clothing. Paula Maier is gifted in needlepoint.
I don't have the skill nor the patience for needlepoint, but in watching Paula work meticulously on gifts months and months in advance, I've come to understand how important it is to work from a good pattern. The pattern is always there, reminding you of the right path to follow in order to produce the finished product you desire. It shows you where the outline turns. It helps you to determine what to fill in with red and what is actually a lighter shade of pink. The pattern is dependable. Never failing.
On Maundy Thursday, the church gathers to mark an ending and a beginning. The meal that Jesus and his disciples shared this night is commonly called the Last Supper. It was the final opportunity for Jesus to share what was of utmost importance with his closest friends. They engaged in the traditional Jewish practices of breaking bread and sharing from a common cup. Jesus reminded them of what they would need to remember after the chaos of the 24 hours that were to come. He gave them a new mandate for life in the Kingdom of Heaven – that they love one another.
Maundy Thursday is about the story of the Last Supper, but the Last Supper included more than just the bread and the cup. Our liturgy isn't simply another recitation of the Eucharist. On this night we take part in one other activity that was modeled by Jesus on that most holy night. We will wash on another's feet. You've just heard the story. We know how in the middle of dinner, Jesus got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and took on the dress of a table slave. He bent down and did the most demeaning thing anyone could do, he washed the dirty, dusty, stinky feet of his disciples.
After he finished, he put his robe back on, symbolic of his role as a Rabbi, and began to teach them about what he had just done. Almost every English translation of the Bible has Jesus telling his disciples, "I have set an example for you, that you should also do as I have done to you," but that's not the entirety of what he was saying to them. No, the Greek word that gets translated as "example" can also mean "pattern." Whereas an example is a thing you do once to show somebody how to do a thing, a pattern is about an ongoing standard of behavior. Jesus didn't wash his disciples' feet as a one-off example that they too should wash feet, although once a year we brush off that example. Rather, Jesus washed his disciples' feet to offer them a pattern of sacrificial love. He established for them what he hoped would be a life-long commitment to loving service. In so doing, Jesus assured them that he, and by extension the Holy Spirit, would be an ever-present pattern for them to follow, especially when the going got tough.
Tonight, you, like me, may want to having nothing to do with this whole foot washing exercise. Or, you might be feeling a bit timid about it. Perhaps you are giving thanks that the Church chose to repeat the breaking of the bread and the sharing of the cup rather than the foot washing thing each week. Maybe this is your favorite service of whole church year. I don't know, you might be strange like that. No matter if you are dying to wash someone's feet or would rather die than do it, it isn't the example of foot washing that is important. Maundy Thursday, which comes from the Latin for Christ's mandate to love, is about the pattern of love that the example foot washing enacts. It is about the reality that Jesus' whole life can serve as a pattern for our lives as his disciples. It is about the promise that the Holy Spirit is here among us to help us follow the pattern, to show us where the outline turns and where the red might need to fade to a lighter shade of pink. It is about the patterns of behavior that bring about the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
When I was a freshman in college, instead of doing my homework, I watched all of the Bond movies back to back, as they playing on TNT, or some equivalent cable network. I love spy movies. I love the action. I love the intrigue. Above all, I love the tropes that one expects to see fulfilled in any good spy movie. Perhaps the best cliché in a spy movie is the stupidity that surrounds the spy. Usually taking the form of the villain that takes extra time to spell out the intricacies of his evil plan, giving the spy an opportunity to escape the trap in which she in snared, the comic relief in most spy movies is just how dumb the people around the story can act.
On this Spy Wednesday, all twelve disciples have the chance to fulfill their destiny as spy story clichés. In Matthew, Judas has his starring role at the table. Jesus predicts that one of them will betray him, and Judas says, "Surely not I, Rabbi," which is, of course, the title used by Jesus' adversaries in Matthew's Gospel. Our appointed lesson for Spy Wednesday comes from John's Gospel, and it is the other eleven who get to look foolish in John's account.
After Jesus tells them that one of the group will betray him, Peter and John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, undertake a clandestine mission to figure out who it will be. John, who had the seat next to Jesus at their table for 26, point blank asks Jesus, "Who is it going to be?" Jesus, in perhaps the only example we have of him actually answering a question, says, "It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread." Then, when he hands Judas the piece of bread and says, "Do quickly what you are going to do," nobody understands what is happening.
It is comedic gold, set amidst the intrigue that is Jesus' final few days. I love how, after three years of traveling with Jesus, listening to his teaching, witnessing his miracles, and even sharing in his ministry, the disciples can still prove to be so very dense. It means there is hope for us all in the Kingdom of God. The life of discipleship is, as the title of a great book by Tony Campolo and Brian McLaren says so perfectly, a series of Adventures in Missing the Point. We all tend to not quite understand what God is up to in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. We all fail to accurately interpret what the Spirit is calling us to do. At any given moment, any one of us is the comedic foil in the ongoing saga of missio dei. But God is full of compassion, slow to anger, and of great kindness. Jesus, despite the foolishness of the 11, went through with the difficult end game, knowing that the rain falls on the smart and the stupid alike. The Spirit continues to gift us, knowing that we'll likely misunderstand what those gifts are to be used for. We are all, from time to time, a Spy Wednesday Cliché, but thanks be to God for the grace that overcomes our foolishness.
On my way to Meijer to purchase ice cream salt and rubbing alcohol for the new fire at the Great Vigil, I passed by one of our local Pentecostal churches. Because it is a) Pentecostal and b) on the main thoroughfare, they have one of those fancy LED marquees that announces things like opening in their pre-school or special services. As I passed by this morning, the first ad I saw on the screen was for their Good Friday service, which is a thing I'm noticing more and more in non-liturgical traditions, and something maybe for a later post. The ad featured a black background with a silverish cross in foreground along with the service name and time. As the image switched to announce the Easter services, the cross changed from silver to white. The background from black to a bright blue sky hovering above an August National-type green grass hill.
In that moment, I realized something about myself. I think there is a part of me, way back in the recesses of my soul, that thinks the tradition of veiling crosses in Lent is backwards. Instead, I wonder if we shouldn't remove all the crosses from our naves during the Great 50 Days of Easter. I know that this is a dangerously triumphalist thought, but I think it stems from too many experiences in which the fast of Good Friday and the feast of Easter Day have been conflated into a cross with purple sashing sitting below a white banner the Alleluia in gold lettering.
There is no Easter without Good Friday, and Good Friday isn't good without Easter Day, but they are meant to be honored as separate events, or maybe better said, two distinct features of a greater whole.
The Gospel lesson appointed for Tuesday in Holy Week is a typically Johannine text, in which Jesus is clear that it is through his being lifted up [on a cross] that Jesus will draw all people to himself. There is, as the old hymn says, power in the blood of Jesus. There is redemption in Jesus stretching out his own arms in loving act of laying down his life. This even is worth contemplating deeply during the week leading up to and including Good Friday. In the act of laying down his life, Jesus draws us all in to himself in love. And then, it seems to me, something different happens come Sunday morning. Rather than shifting our focus from a gray cross on a dark background to an empty wooden cross on a happier background, our focus should turn entirely away from the hill called Golgotha to the stone that has been rolled away from the empty tomb. There is a whole lot more to think and say about this than 600 words will allow, but suffice to say, I think it is important to consider how the events of Good Friday and Easter are different, even as together, they help to bring us all into the knowledge and love of Jesus.
On Thursday, Mother Becca, Deacon Kellie, and I joined many of our sisters and brothers in ordained ministry at All Saint's for the annual service commonly called the Chrism Mass, in which we renew our ordination vows and receive the specially blessed oil used at baptisms. Kellie has a real job, so she had to drive herself back and forth from Leitchfield, but Becca and I rode together and enjoyed a couple of hours to touch base on life and our collective ministry here at Christ Episcopal Church. One of the topics of our conversation was how the lives of associates and rectors are similar and different. There are certain freedoms that are unique to each position, and there are certain limitations that come with each title as well. That conversation got me thinking about how my life has changed in the two-plus years that I've been your rector.
During the course of the next five days, Jesus went to the Temple and turned over the tables of the money changers. He called out the injustice of the Temple system that was built on the backs of the faithful poor. He answered repeated attempts to challenge his authority. He taught lessons and told parables that directly contradicted with what the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes were trying to accomplish. He lifted up the lowly widow and her two copper coins, while calling into question the large gifts given by those for whom it was less than a drop in the bucket. As each day unfolded, the tension between Jesus and the powers-that-be grew, until finally, they conspired with Judas, one of the twelve, to betray him. With all kinds of false accusations, they attempted to convince Pilate that Jesus needed to be killed, and when the crowd just wouldn't relent, they finally succeeded in having Jesus put to death on a cross as a disgraced revolutionary.
It's been a week. Or, rather, we know it is about to be a week. A full week. A difficult week. A Holy Week. Every day this week, you will have the opportunity to walk the way of the cross with Jesus and one another. It begins at noon, Monday through Thursday, where we will hear from different preachers in different contexts of how the pressure-filled relationship between Jesus and the powers-that-be bubbled and boiled, until it finally came to a head. On Thursday evening, we will hear Jesus once again offer us the new mandate of the Kingdom of God, that we love one another. Through the washing of feet, an act of profoundly humble service, we will re-enact the symbol of the self-sacrificial love that Jesus offered to his disciples, while we also remember the institution of the Lord's Supper as the central act of our devotion. Overnight, members of the congregation will keep watch, like Peter at the charcoal fire, as we wait for Friday, when we will remember the deepest act of love anyone can offer – the laying down of one's life for a friend.
As the lessons for the Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday show us, it'll be a week – a long and challenging week, and yet, it is a week that we ought not skip through just to get to the joy of Easter. There is no Easter without Good Friday. There is no Resurrection without the challenges of Holy Week. And so, we pray that in walking the way of the sorrow, we might find it to be the way of life; that through walking with Jesus toward the cross, we might also share in the resurrection life. It'll be a week, dear friends, but I can't wait to walk it with you. Amen.
As I've told you before, I love parables. If I wasn't tied to the assigned readings in the weekly lectionary, I would almost certainly preach a sermon on a parable every time I stepped into a pulpit. I love how simple they are. How Jesus relies on common images from his time and place to share deep truths. I love how impossible they are. How the simple message that we think we take away from Jesus is never what are actually meant to learn. I love how they rattle around inside my head for days and weeks on end. I love how, even two-thousand years later, I can still find ways to enter into many of the parables that Jesus told.
I've long been a fan of Eugene Peterson's description of parables as narrative time bombs; only exploding with meaning sometime down the road. Recently, I've found another way to describe them that while less grandiose, is certainly equally true. Jake Owensby, the Bishop of Western Louisiana, in his book A Resurrection Shaped Life, defines parables as "unsettling stories that invite us to rethink some of our basic assumptions." Today's Gospel lesson, commonly called the Parable of the Prodigal Son, is meant to be just such an unsettling story. The basic gist of it seems fairly straight forward. The younger son tells his dad that he wishes his dad was dead. He takes what would be his inheritance, leaves town, and wastes it on women and whiskey. One day, while dreaming of eating the slop he was feeding to the pigs, he has something of a come to Jesus moment, repents, and returns to his father's good graces, only to have his older, more responsible brother, look down his nose at the whole situation. In this parable's most simplistic reading, the older brother serves as the lens through which Jesus seems to challenge our basic assumptions about what is right and wrong, fair and unfair, but in its most simplistic reading, I'm not sure that this parable is truly unsettling. What's really makes this story uncomfortable requires us to pay careful attention to three things: to whom Jesus is telling this parable, what really happened in that pig pen, and how the story ends.
The parable commonly called the Prodigal Son is the third of three parables Jesus tells back-to-back-to-back. The lectionary skips over the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin, but does give us the context for the stories. Jesus was hanging out with tax collectors and known sinners. Not only that, but he was eating with them. They would have dipped their bread into the same bowl of oil and smeared it across a common plate of hummus. The clean and unclean didn't share meals in that way, and the Pharisees, whose job it was to interpret what was kosher and what wasn't, made sure he knew about it. In response, Jesus told them three parables about things that had been lost being found. One sheep out of a hundred was lost, and the shepherd searched the ends of the earth to find it. When he did, he threw a massive party to celebrate. One silver coin out ten was lost, and the woman overturned her whole house to find it. When she did, she threw a massive party to celebrate. One son out of two was lost, and the father kept scanning the horizon searching for any sign that his boy might return home. We he did, he threw a massive party to celebrate. The first unsettling lesson we learn from this parable is that no matter who might want to be the judge of who is in and who is out, God is ready to throw a massive party in heaven for every stupid sheep, every seemingly worthless coin, and every ingrate child.
In each of the first two parables, Jesus is quick to mention that the lavish parties are representative of the joy that is experienced by God and all the angels each time one sinner repents. In our parable, however, the word repentance is never mentioned. Here, when the lost one is actually a human being who has some agency in his own return, we hear nothing about repentance. Instead, the unsettling truth of that pig pen is that the younger son might still be a gigantic jerk. In fact, I think this is the most likely reading of the text. Notice how it all plays out. After squandering all of his inheritance on "dissolute" living, the foreign land to which he had moved fell into a famine. Not only did his funds run out, but the bottom fell out on the economy at the same time. Everybody was hungry, so begging didn't do any good. The best job he could find was working on a swine farm feeding the pigs. Can you imagine how awful life must be when you are looking longingly at the food that pigs are eating? Jesus doesn't say that the younger son repented, but rather in that moment of desperation, the younger son "came to himself." He returned to his senses and remembered that back home there was a farm full of food and even the hired hands had more than enough to eat. So, he concocted a plan in which he would return home, say all the right things, and even if his dad would only take him back as a slave, at least he'd have food in his belly. This, to me, is where the story becomes truly unsettling. Is it possible that what Jesus is saying here is that God will throw a party even for those whose return to relationship seems to come with questionable intentions? Is it possible that God is perpetually scanning the horizon, waiting to welcome home even those who are still stuck in their sinful ways simply because they've come searching for something more? Given the crowd Jesus is accused of hanging out with, perhaps the second unsettling lesson we learn from this parable is that God is always ready to welcome us home, whether or not we're here for the right reasons.
As the party unfolds, the fatted calf is slaughtered and the finest wines are poured. The older brother returns from a day of hard work in the field only to find that his good-for-nothing brother is back and his dad is wasting more money on a party for him. You can feel his indignation as he stands outside, listening to the festivities inside, and sneering his complaint to the old man. "I've been working like a slave for you, and you've never given me so much as a young goat to have a party. But this son of yours. He treated you as if you were dead. He made you sell our land, lay off our workers, and lose our prestige in the community so that he could go off and waste your money, and for him you've killed the fatted calf?" Just as he had done for his younger son, the father tried to bring the older son back into relationship. He begged him to understand what it is like to lose something so valuable and find it again. But, as the story ends, Jesus doesn't tell us if the older brother ever relents and enters the party. The parable fades to black with the older brother still outside, arms crossed, glaring into the house. Is it possible that God would restore a jerk like the younger brother only to leave one who was seemingly faithful on the outside looking in? Can we fathom a God who desires deep, real, perfect relationship who will also allow us to be our own worst enemies when we refuse to forgive and be reconciled? The final unsettling lesson I think we can learn from this parable today is that God is desperate to be in right relationship with everyone, but it is our own expectations, prejudices, and lack of grace that can leave us on the outside, looking in.
The more comfortable reading makes the Prodigal Son a top-3 parable of all time, but when we let parables be unsettling, when we allow them the space to challenge some of our basic assumptions, we stand to learn a lot about the Kingdom of God. The Prodigal Son story should make us wonder just how willing we are to enter the party God is throwing for all those who were lost but are now found. The Pharisees couldn't imagine such a party. The older brother was indignant about it. God's grace is often surprising, upsetting, and even little unsettling, which, now that I think about it, is maybe why Jesus felt the need to use parables in the first place. There are deep lessons to be learned, if only we have ears open to listen and hearts open to learn. Amen.
You may not know it, but there is some rhyme and reason to the liturgical choices we make around here. At 10 o'clock, the service music is carefully selected to match the mood of the season. Now that we've survived the Great Litany, for the next four weeks, both services begin with the Penitential Order which is meant to draw our minds to the truth that we should only approach the altar of God having taken stock of our lives, recognizing our sins, and repenting of our unrighteousness. At 8am, we have switched back to Eucharistic Prayer I, which deals more directly with the reality that sin – the corporate sin of the world and the sinfulness of each individual – ultimately brought Jesus to the cross, and that in the Eucharist, we are recreating not just his Last Supper with the disciples, but remembering the fullness of the events of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and yes, Easter Day as well.
The Rite II Eucharistic Prayers are a bit more challenging. None of them carry the clearly penitential tone of Rite I. However, Prayer A does seem to be the prayer best suited for the season. In it, as we recount the story of salvation history, there is this peculiar line in which we say that Jesus "stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to [God's] will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world." As the Gospel stories of Jesus' death unfold, it doesn't always seem like this is an accurate reading of the situation. Did Jesus offer himself, or did Judas offer him for 30 silver coins? Did Jesus offer himself, or did the Chief Priests, Scribes, and Pharisees offer him to maintain the status quo? Did Jesus offer himself, or did Herod offer him out of fear; did Pilate offer him to appease the crowd and raise his stock within the Roman Empire; or, as the prayer seems to suggest, did God the Father require the Son to die to appease some sort unrelenting anger? While each of these could be perfectly reasonable explanations for what happened in those dreadful hours, it would seem that our Gospel lesson for today is expressly concerned with making us understand that Jesus' death was his own choice and for the benefit of the whole world.
Two weeks ago, we heard the story of Jesus being transfigured on the mountain top. It had been about a week since Peter finally confessed Jesus as the Messiah, when he, along with James and John were made privy to the full revelation of Jesus' divinity. There, with Moses and Elijah at his side, and the voice of God booming from above, Jesus was fully empowered for the final stage of his ministry. Not long after this encounter, Luke tells us that Jesus set his face for Jerusalem. The last act of Jesus ministry was about to unfold. Somewhat surprisingly, Luke then proceeds to spend 10 whole chapters, roughly 42% of his Gospel, sharing all kinds of experiences that happened along the way to the cross. Jesus exorcised demons, healed the sick, preached the Good News, taught in the Synagogues, and even sent out 70 others to do the same.
Here, at not even the mid-point in that ten-chapter journey, in which Jesus is very intentional about his work and ministry, and just as he has taught that many who think they are in God's good graces will find themselves on the outside, some Pharisees, the insiders' insiders, came to warn Jesus that Herod was out to kill him. This isn't Herod the Great who had tried to use the Wise Men as spies in order to kill Jesus shortly after his birth. This is Herod Antipas, Herod the Great's son, who had married the ex-wife of his brother, who got drunk at his birthday party and ended up having John the Baptist beheaded at his step-daughter's request. Herod Antipas shared one fourth of his father's territory with his brothers. As the most competent heir, Herod lived in constant fear of revolution. It was that fear that made him both dislike John the Baptist and yet fear the will of the people too much to want to have him killed. It was that same fear that made him worry about the increasing power that Jesus of Nazareth had over the crowds. One who could perform miracles, heal the sick, exorcise demons, and command such a following was one who was clearly a threat to the power and privilege that he had born into.
It isn't that Jesus was ignorant to the fact that his life and ministry would lead to his death. He was quite aware that those who upset the way things have always been have always been mistreated, abused, and ultimately killed, whether it is in Jerusalem, Rome, Dallas, or Memphis. It is just that Jesus knows that no matter how ready the Pharisees might be to get Jesus out of their hair or how anxious Herod might be about Jesus' increasing popularity, this ministry is working on God's time and to God's good and perfect end – the gathering all of the faithful under God's gracious and loving wings. No matter how much Herod might believe that Jesus was out for political power and no matter how much Jesus' own disciples might wish for that too, what God had planned to do through the life and ministry of Jesus wasn't to recreate the power structures of this world, but to replace them with structures of compassion, grace, and love. Jesus is in full control of his message, his medium, and the timing such that in the end, even when it looks like any number of other powers and principalities had brought him to the cross, we can say with full confidence that it was Jesus who stretched out his own arms upon the cross, offering himself as a sacrifice for the sins of the world.
It is increasingly difficult in this world of the 24-hour news cycle to remember who is really in control of things. Fear mongers make millions of dollars a day selling advertising on news channels that would have us believe any number of lies and half-truths. We are enticed to buy this makeup, drink this beer, drive this car, and use this phone to be happy and healthy. We are tricked into believing that our value is based only on what others can get from us. It is no wonder that rates of anxiety and depression are on the rise. Jesus' response to the Pharisees and the threat of Herod reminds us, however, that outside powers have been trying to rule by fear for thousands of years. Jesus tells us that these perceived threats, even to our very way of living and our own lives, are hollow compared to the power of God and God's dream to restore all of creation to right relationship. Jesus will spend six more chapters walking toward Jerusalem and certain death. Along the way, he will restore all kinds of people into community by offering them wholeness and peace. Even now, Jesus is here offering us the peace that passes all understanding, peace that is more powerful than any fear the world can create. Our Lenten journey reminds us that Jesus stretched out his own arms of love upon the cross, no one else made him do it, so that everyone, even you and me, might come within the reach of his saving embrace. Amen.

Which bag are you going to try and snag?
The holidays on THE VAMPIRE DIARIES will be a little bit different for the residents of Mystic Falls this year since the town is now protected from allowing anyone with supernatural abilities inside.
So to fill a bit of that void, Caroline and Elena are hosting a Friendsgiving celebration at their dorm in tonight's new episode — a nice break from the stress and trauma the friends are used to.
It's Thanksgiving time on THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, and as Caroline and Elena host a Friendsgiving at their dorm, Damon, Stefan, and Alaric go on a road trip to do some investigating into the Gemini Coven (with the hopes it will lead them to some clues about Bonnie). And back in the 1994 world, Kai is not happy that Bonnie was able to get rid of her powers, seemingly trapping them there forever.
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES cast and producers hit up Comic-Con on Saturday to participate in a panel for the series, as well as a fan signing.
The second wave of TEEN CHOICE AWARDS nominations have been announced, and shows like GLEE, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, SLEEPY HOLLOW, and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE are among the latest to garner nominations.

Q: Can parameters have same name as a global variable and still called inside a function? #include<stdio.h>
int x = 12;

void foo(int x)
{
  printf("%d\n",x);
}

int main()
{
  foo(3);
  printf("%d\n",x);
  return 0;
}

This gives output
3
12

How can i access global int x inside the function foo()?

A: You can, but the parameter shadows it. Just use another name for parameter variable in foo function.

A: Yes it works like this as variables of same names are allowed provided that they are in different scopes. "x" is both defined in global scope (global variable) and a local scope (in foo() as a parameter). But they are located in different locations in memory.

For this week's Five, I've decided to keep it simple. Nothing too deep, just several shots I took on June 21, the first day of summer, at my parents' cottage in Ontario, Canada. These photos were all taken well after 8:00 pm, and I could not help but marvel at the way the warm light of the late evening sun was caressing everything it touched. I decided to capture those moments on film: shining through the porch screens, reflecting on the lake, spotlighting my parents' dog, Della. It is hard to believe that the days now are getting shorter with each setting sun. I hope you are enjoying summer as much as I am. For a Canadian, such as myself, it is a fleeting and exuberant season.
Beautiful as always. Love the dog.
I feel like I am there with you and your parents. I love Canada and wish I could have been there.
Nice shots Andrew. Sometime the best things in life are right where we live. All we need to do is open our eyes and see them.
You get the idea, Ken!
I live in SW Ontario. Love your photos.


Aaris III was a planet located in the Kathol sector of the Outer Rim Territories. Covered in jungle, it was connected to the worlds of Charis, Kolatill and Brolsam via hyperlanes. Aaris III was the homeworld of the Aaris species, a race of reptilian humanoids whose society flourished several thousand years before the Galactic Civil War. Their civilization was almost totally destroyed after a destructive civil war, perpetrated by the Plaque of Victory, an inanimate but sentient relic that could manipulate the feelings of those around it, turning them suspicious, violent and homicidal. The Aaris's cities fell into ruin and were reclaimed by the jungle, and their primitive descendants inhabited the hidden ruins.


Glacier National Park is amazing. The first word that came out of my mouth when approaching the park is "wow." The sheer beauty of the water, trees, mountains, and landscape is breathtaking.
My friend and I stayed at Glacier for 4 days and tried to visit/see as much as we could…that still was not enough time. The entrance fee if you're entering with an "in-state" vehicle is $35 and the pass is good for a week. Definitely a great deal with as much as there is to see and do.
Our first destination was Fish Creek Campground right next to Lake McDonald, which is one of the most photographed lakes in the park. I chose this campground due to it's proximity to the lake so we could get some fishing and kayaking in. The camp spot was reserved for a couple of days and when entering, we were greeted by a camp host who was excellent.
Even at first glance, the campsite look great, especially after talking to the camp host. The campground provided a lot of activities, had decent bathrooms, and was near the lake (campgrounds A&B are very close, C is farther away…we were at C). Once we started to drive through the campgrounds though, we began to not like the location. The site was already full, so thankfully we had our reservation.
Our camp site was tiny. With my truck and small trailer, it was extremely difficult to park in the allotted spot. Furthermore, the mosquitoes were ridiculous and the biggest downside was the area provided for the tent; it wasn't big enough at all. If we set it up, we would have been no more than 2 feet away from the RV at the next site. With their generator already running, it was too noisy. Once we looked around the rest of the campground, every place was packed…the area was simply too small for all the campers. We decided to go elsewhere to find a place to stay.
Unfortunately, we were also unable to fish and kayak due to the weather. The wind was terrible and the lake had white-capped water off the shores. Since things weren't going as well as we hoped, we left the park to seek out a less packed camp ground. Thankfully right down the road we found a hidden gem…this was the West Glacier KOA Campground. More on this in another article. Click here to read up on that camping adventure.

Witch Hunt is a role-playing game published by StatCom Simulations Inc. in 1983.

Description
Witch Hunt is a historical/horror system set in Salem in 1692. The PCs are witches (with actual magical powers), or magistrates determined to hunt them down. The rules cover witches and magic, magistrates and the law, the town crier, life in 1692, etc. The game includes an introductory miniscenario based on a historical incident.

The boxed set is presented with a full color painting on the front, and includes the main booklet which is both the rules and an introductory scenario, a double A4 black-and-white map of Salem village, a sample double-sided character sheet, and two Gamescience micro D20's.

Publication history
Witch Hunt was designed by Paul D. Baader and Roger Buckelew, and published by StatCom Simulations in 1983 as a boxed set containing a 48-page rulebook, a sample character sheet, a map, and dice.

Reception
Witch Hunt was reviewed by Jon Sutherland in issue 61 of White Dwarf magazine (January 1985), rating it a 5 out of 10 overall. Sutherland concludes the review by saying: "Witch Hunt is interesting in a limited way, in fact 'limited' is a good word to sum the game up. There are precious few innovations in evidence and I couldn't imagine players wanting to bother playing it more than once or twice. It is neither 'realistic' nor comprehensive enough to merit recommendation."

Lawrence Schick comments that "This is a strange one".

Visit Our Showroom of Historic Yellowstone Park Vehicles and Take a Trip Up the Beartooth Highway
The Buses of Yellowstone Preservation Trust is a 501(c)3 nonprofit all-volunteer organization located in Red Lodge, Montana. Founded in 2008, our mission is to historically preserve in original operating condition a collection of all makes and models of motorized vehicles used in Yellowstone Park prior to World War II, and to share with others the importance and experience of these vehicles in the park.
Our vehicles are showcased in a historic garage located in the historic commercial district of Red Lodge. The garage was built in 1936 and is the home to one of the oldest, if not the oldest service stations that operated continuously in the State of Montana. The garage is primarily open to the public on weekends (late spring through early fall), for special events and by appointment. Individuals and groups are free to enter the building when open and view all that is showcased therein. There is no charge for entry.
Bus trips in an all-original 1937 Model 706 Yellowstone Park Bus on the scenic Beartooth Highway are provided by reservation only for families and groups. The reservation is for the "bus" that can accommodate up to 10 passengers; not for individual seats on the bus. If the group or family exceeds 10 passengers, a second bus can be reserved when needed and if available. Those who take the trip can plan on traveling about 35 miles up the Beartooth Highway from Red Lodge at an elevation of 5,500 feet, to the West Summit of the Beartooth Pass at an elevation of 10,947 feet. The bus slowly travels along about 15-18 mph, to and from the Summit providing ample time to enjoy the breathtaking vistas. The canvas top of the bus is rolled back as weather permits, allowing riders to stand and take in the majestic views. More information regarding these trips may be obtained by calling 406-860-5910 or emailing don.mueller@boypt.org.

So you are going on a cruise! Before you pop that bottle of bubbly, let's get a few things covered so your trip doesn't get ruined by an outrageous "hidden" cost. These are the top issues that most first time cruisers don't know that could be a cost you don't expect.
I don't know what's worse, losing your money to a slot machine in the casino or to the dang ATM fees at $5-$7 every time you withdraw. So bring enough cash for your cruise, consider excursions and onboard extra costs like the casino.
These extra costs add up and sometimes aren't worth the cost. The average massage is double of what Massage Envy would cost you at home. So think wisely before you spend.
Nail and spa treatments are usually overpriced along with any beauty treatments that are offered. Hey, if your motto is "I work hard for this and I am going to do it" well then, you earned it. For those who are watching their budget avoid the spa packages.
One exception might be to purchase at the first-day discount or to get these treatments when stopped at a port. Watch for early savings, they are usually only offered the first day or two and then disappear for the rest of the voyage.
All extra restaurants range about $20 per person for lunch and $40 for dinner. So if you are a frugal person, cross these ideas off your list.
Yes, frozen yogurt, cupcake shops, cookie shops aren't usually included and considered a specialty store and not part of a café. You will have to pay for these items out of pocket.
coffee, bottled water and more.
When on a cruise your sea pass card is everything, including being as dangerous as having a credit card in your hand without the mindset of spending. One cruise we had an invoice for over $1000. Was it fun- of course! But was it worth it or could have made better choices? We had the YOLO theme that cruise.
When you need anything from the store like medicine, pens, candy bars, etc.… they are extremely high priced items. Before you charge it to your account make sure you think about the actual cost because you will see that bill later.
"Bingo is fun and all but not worth the cost", said the loser, but the winner on her fourth cruise might think differently. Please play responsibly. Watch out for pull tag games, every $5 adds up.
Don't be the sucker for the machines in the casino that aren't slot machines.
These games will add up fast, you see people putting $20 of quarters into a machine to only get a $10 bill in return.
I've seen one person win the $100 cash hand where he had to stick the pole into the square. The happy vibe of the cruise and atmosphere of the casino means you could be more reckless and high spending than normal.
If you want them, buy them, but they are pricey.
We always find a group next to us when we are exiting the boat and ask them to take our photo and then we take theirs.
Save the money and work with others and don't pay $100 for a random picture of you with a cruise employee.
Know what your plan covers, don't be surprised when you return from your trip and all your texting photos of you on a zip line in the Bahamas cost you $20 or much more!
You can call your plan and add coverage for the trip and then remove it once you get back.
If you find yourself enjoying cruising, sit down and set up your next trip while still on board at a benefit to you. You can save $100 or possibly get a cruise drink package for this trip for free. Take a peek and see what the deals are.
Even though most tips are involved in the price you pay upfront or at the end of your trip, most cruise lines will still ask for you to tip our employees on the last night an additional amount for services you enjoyed. So be prepared on your last night of the cruise to place some money in that envelope on your bed. Tipping adds up, the guy at the airport, the taxi driver, the cruise bell hop, your concierge, and the shuttle driver, along with your favorite dinner waiter and room attendant.
You can save money by packing all the stuff you need. What you need to pack on your cruise depends on the cruise line you travel on. We recommend checking out Pinterest for your exact cruise needs.
Cruise to do and don'ts: simply enjoy your first cruise, but don't get screwed with the high cost. Do thorough research!
Save the money and disconnect, if you need to hook up don't pay $150 or per day, ask an employee where you can hook up when you get near a port of call. Most cell phone plans have mobile hotspots- again, be sure to check with your plan.
Also, if you travel with friends and you do find you need to purchase a plan, have one person pay for it and divide the cost between each person and share the login. Note only one person can use the login at a time (possibly two depending on cruise line package).
Have breakfast in the formal dining room, it's totally better than the buffet, and on sailing days the lunch course menu is killer. Breakfast choices include a delicious eggs benedict and lunch has a Chef salad bar – super tasty food. Most people don't know these two options exist. You can even get these food option items to go and eat on the side of the ship or in a bar while you read a book.

Sir Robert Peel 2nd Baronet
Member of Parliament (1830-1850), 2nd Baronet Peel of Drayton Manor (from 1830), 28th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1834-1835), and 30th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1841-1846)
Sir Robert Peel, 2nd Baronet, FRS (5 February 1788 – 2 July 1850) was a British Conservative statesman who served twice as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1834–1835 and 1841–1846) and twice as Home Secretary (1822–1827 and 1828–1830). He is regarded as the father of modern English policing, owing to his founding of the Metropolitan Police Service. Peel was one of the founders of the modern Conservative Party. The son of a wealthy textile-manufacturer and politician, Peel was the first prime minister from an industrial business background. He earned a double first in classics and mathematics from Christ Church, Oxford. He entered the House of Commons in 1809, and became a rising star in the Tory Party. Peel entered the Cabinet as Home Secretary (1822–1827), where he reformed and liberalised the criminal law and created the modern police force, leading to a new type of officer known in tribute to him as "bobbies" and "peelers". After a brief period out of office he returned as Home Secretary under his political mentor the Duke of Wellington (1828–1830), also serving as Leader of the House of Commons. Initially a supporter of continued legal discrimination against Catholics, Peel reversed himself and supported the repeal of the Test Act (1828) and the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, claiming that "though emancipation was a great danger, civil strife was a greater danger". After being in the Opposition 1830–1834, he became Prime Minister in November 1834. Peel issued the Tamworth Manifesto (December 1834), laying down the principles upon which the modern British Conservative Party is based. His first ministry was a minority government, dependent on Whig support and with Peel serving as his own Chancellor of the Exchequer. After only four months, his government collapsed and he served as Leader of the Opposition during Melbourne's second government (1835–1841). Peel became Prime Minister again after the 1841 general election. His second government ruled for five years. He cut tariffs to stimulate trade, replacing the lost revenue with a 3% income tax. He played a central role in making free trade a reality and set up a modern banking system. His government's major legislation included the Mines and Collieries Act 1842, the Income Tax Act 1842, the Factories Act 1844 and the Railway Regulation Act 1844. Peel's government was weakened by anti-Catholic sentiment following the controversial increase in the Maynooth Grant of 1845. After the outbreak of the Great Irish Famine, his decision to join with Whigs and Radicals to repeal the Corn Laws led to his resignation as Prime Minister in 1846. Peel remained an influential MP and leader of the Peelite faction until his death in 1850. Peel often started from a traditional Tory position in opposition to a measure, then reversed his stance and became the leader in supporting liberal legislation. This happened with the Test Act, Catholic Emancipation, the Reform Act, income tax and, most notably, the repeal of the Corn Laws. Historian A. J. P. Taylor wrote: "Peel was in the first rank of 19th century statesmen. He carried Catholic Emancipation; he repealed the Corn Laws; he created the modern Conservative Party on the ruins of the old Toryism."

James Butler Hickok, better known as "Wild Bill" Hickok, was a folk hero of the old west known for his work across the frontier as a wagon master, soldier, spy, scout, lawman, gunfighter, gambler, showman, and actor. He earned a great deal of notoriety, hugely in part, by the tales that he told about his own life. Some believe his exploits to be fictitious, but they remain the basis of much of his fame and reputation. Whether you believe the hype or not, Hickok has one hell of a story, and will always be considered an American legend. He fought a bear, ya know? Just sayin'.

Steinfeld ist ein Ortsteil von Straufhain im Landkreis Hildburghausen in Thüringen.

Lage
Steinfeld (an der Rodach) liegt im fränkischen Hügelland, nördlich des Straufhain im oberen Rodachtal. Südlich des Höhenzugs Frankenschwelle gelegen, der die Wasserscheide zwischen Rhein-Main-Einzug und Weser-Einzug bildet. Umliegend die gebietsprägenden Anhöhen der Gleichberge und des Straufhain. Die Ortslage ist stark kupiert (Kerbtal). Der Ort liegt direkt an der ehemaligen deutsch-deutschen Grenze. In der Nähe ist das Zweiländereck.

Geschichte
1317 wurde der Ortsteil erstmals urkundlich erwähnt.

Steinfeld war 1615–1624 von der Hexenverfolgung betroffen. Zwei Frauen gerieten in Hexenprozesse. Dorothea Lob wurde 1616 verbrannt, die andere Frau des Landes verwiesen.

Am 1. Januar 2016 wohnten im Ortsteil 299 Personen.

Besonderheiten
Einer der wasserreichsten Orte der Region. Im Ort gibt es ein Gemeindebrauhaus (außer Betrieb) sowie ein Backhaus.
In früheren Zeiten wurde in den beiden Wirtshäusern und im Gemeindebrauhaus Bier gebraut. Weithin bekannt war der Ort für ein in dieser Form nur hier gebrautes süffiges Weißbier namens Brühaa.

In der Dorfmitte steht eine alte Tanzlinde (Stufenlinde), in der zur Karmes (Kirchweih) die Blozer (Planburschen) ihre "Sprüchla" (teils derbe Vierzeiler) darbieten.

BENGALURU: Gold prices edged lower on Tuesday, hovering near a three-week low touched in the previous session, as a firmer dollar made bullion more expensive for buyers using other currencies, even as concerns about a global slowdown mounted.
Spot gold fell 0.1 percent at $1,278.77 per ounce by 0546 GMT, after touching its lowest since Dec. 28 at $1,276.31 on Monday. U.S. gold futures fell 0.3 percent to $1,278.70 per ounce.
China's economy cooled in the fourth quarter under pressure from faltering domestic demand and bruising U.S. tariffs, dragging 2018 growth to the lowest level in nearly three decades, data showed on Monday.
Asian shares slipped on Tuesday on pessimism about world growth after the International Monetary Fund trimmed its global growth forecasts. However, this did not influence gold prices.
Meanwhile, spot palladium, which hit a record high of $1,434.50 last week driven by a sustained deficit and rising demand, stood firm at $1,362.50 an ounce.
Silver fell 0.1 percent to $15.21 an ounce while platinum was down 0.2 percent at $789.50.

Intensity lifts ahead of SCG Test showdown
Scott Bailey
Tensions between Australia and India are at boiling point going into the third Test, with Tim Paine admitting the tourists are starting to get on his team's nerves.
Paine has taken a thinly veiled swipe at India over their issues with Brisbane's hotel quarantine measures, claiming Australia would play the fourth Test in Mumbai if need be.
Relations between the two teams have been noticeably friendly in the opening two encounters, with minimal sledging and the series tied at 1-1.
But that has taken a significant shift this week, with Australia's captain expecting some tension to boil over when the third Test starts at the SCG on Thursday.
India's comments about Brisbane, and the fact they would rather play somewhere other than the Gabba to avoid hotel quarantine, raised eyebrows in Australia's camp.
That issue now appears to be largely resolved, with players set to be allowed out of their rooms provided they remain in the hotel when not at the ground.
SCG curator Adam Lewis also claimed on Wednesday he was no longer preparing a back-up wicket and expected the series to move to Brisbane for the finale.
But it didn't come before Nathan Lyon told everyone to "suck it up" and stop complaining earlier this week.
"It's boiling away, there's some stuff starting to happen, a bit of chat starting to happen," Paine said.
"This Test is going to be fascinating not just from a cricket point of view.
"There's a bit of tension starting to boil under the surface with unnamed sources coming out from their camp saying where they want to play the fourth Test and where they don't want to go.
"I think it's starting to grind a few people, so we'll see how it goes."
The last series between Australia and India was played in relatively good spirits, but previous showdowns have been fiery.
Regardless though, it's not to first time Paine has hinted at annoyance over India after Australia didn't play at their Gabba fortress two summers ago.
When Australia took its undefeated run at the ground to 30 years last season, Paine said he would "have to call Virat (Kohli)" to see if India would play there this summer.
And again on Wednesday, the topic of concern was again the Gabba.
"I'd just say (it caused) a bit of uncertainty," Paine said.
"Because when you hear things like that coming, particularly from India who we know hold a lot of power in world cricket, it's likely that it could happen.
"So for us we just want to be really clear on this Test match.
"We're going to focus on that this week then whatever happens never week, happens. And we'll adapt to it. But we're not too fussed.
"As far as we're aware it is at the Gabba.
"But as I said in the team meeting the other day, we couldn't care less. If you rang us up and said it's in Mumbai tomorrow, we'd get on a plane and play it."

A competitive edge for academic biomedical research
By: Nick Miller
Every year hope is put on hold as promising medical research is delayed while scientists struggle to obtain rare resources vital to their work.
The resources are patient tissue and blood samples containing cells, plasma, serum, DNA, RNA and other biological components that help form the building blocks of life. They are essential to research and providing clues to finding new causes and cures for disease.
At Cincinnati Children's, large quantities of these materials are collected as part of routine clinical care from more than 300,000 children who visit the medical center annually for treatment. When treatment ends, leftover samples are destroyed and lost forever, along with the biological information they contain. Meanwhile, researchers spend hundreds of thousands of dollars (or more) and months or years searching for rare patient samples, just so a study can get underway or funded.
This is the impetus for a new project at Cincinnati Children's, the Cincinnati Biorepository Core Facility, which will save and store remnant clinical samples. "There is a broad need for these samples and this project will be significant in helping fill the gap," explains Michael Barnes, PhD, a researcher in the Division of Rheumatology and the biobank's director.
The specimens will form a centralized institutional collection of biological samples for Cincinnati Children's researchers and those with whom they work. Researchers will not have access to patient identities; they will focus exclusively on biological components in the samples and how they relate to their specific area of scientific or biomedical inquiry.
The collection of residual clinical samples will be one of only a handful of such programs in the nation, in keeping with the institution's role as an innovator in pediatric medicine and research.
The biobank could allow important studies to proceed more quickly and at less cost. It also is expected to simplify pilot stage research projects at Cincinnati Children's and make grant submissions more competitive for research dollars from the National Institutes of Health and other funding organizations.
In the end, having a facility like the biobank on premises will make studies conducted at Cincinnati Children's more competitive and successful – in part because it prepares the institution for one of the harsher realities of biomedical research: funding.
Money – especially grants from the federal government – is harder to win in an increasingly competitive environment, says John Harley, PhD, director of the Center for Autoimmune Genomics and Etiology at Cincinnati Children's and the Division of Rheumatology.
"With a biobank centralizing collection of these materials, it provides an institutional base so that an investigator wanting to study a particular disorder would be able to retrieve samples with a minimum of effort," says Harley. "This would put them in a much stronger position to compete for funding and to start and sustain the work."

Olaf Holzapfel's exhibition of new works presents pictures made of braided hay, a temporary tent-like dwelling woven of Chaguar-cactus fiber and a timber-framed structure made of oak wood. With his works Holzapfel maps the surroundings of our bodies, the limitations of space and images of general orientation. Beyond these 'envelopes' around us the public space opens up as the other entity, like the mirror image that is not directly visible: a topography. The new body of work that is shown in this exhibition consists mainly of natural materials that carry a traditional symbolic meaning for the people who are surrounded by them in their daily lives. The sculptures refer formally to the territories and ways of life where they were made: Poland, Germany and Argentina. They consist for the most part of ephemeral materials that are of no particular concern to contemporary art practice. From an ecological point of view, however, they are of great interest. Holzapfel investigates to which extent the landscape and its material influence our bodies and thinking, which covers are sought out and built to inhabit a given territory. Is it by sheer chance that pioneering areas of mechanical engineering such as Japan, England and Central Europe show a predominant occurrence of timber-framed housing – buildings that are logical but at the same time overdeterminate like a tree? The artist asks why, with all their interminable, stormy and rugged territories, would the Argentine Indians not opt for more temporary housing? Why dofarmers in Poland braid monstrances out of straw or use straw ornaments for Christmas decoration?
Holzapfel designed a timber-frame structure shown in this exhibition that could function as a studio. The tent made out of Chaguar cactus fibre was executed with the help of Argentine Wichi-Indians who weaved its elements after the artist's designs. This 'temporary house'
forms a symbiosis between nature, abstraction and virtual notions of space. This work was installed in various places in Buenos Aires, a city that exists as if it was stand-alone, in no need of the country it is surrounded by.
The sculptures in the third room are made out of acrylic glass. Although the material is rigid in its materiality, it appears to be soft and fluid due to its treatment with high temperatures. Depending on color, surface and light one can barely grasp its shape with the naked eye, as it shifts between abstract sculpture and folded covers. The sculptures seem like membranes between exterior and interior and embody a state in progress between different forms. The artist is less concerned with the international, comprehensive character of art works but puts his focus on the work and activity at a specific place where the sculptures were executed. He analyzes the characteristic criteria, always in reference to his western
identity. His approach is romantic as he assumes that the elemental, even if built by man, contains direct responses to our actions. By intensively reflecting upon nature, its fundamental systems reveal themselves. Like with the Wichi-Indians, the idea of the world is not being derived from culture but from issues that have always been in existence.
Olaf Holzapfel, born in Görlitz, East Germany, in 1969, studied from 1996 until 2001 at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Dresden where he was later master student of Professor Ralf Kerbach, from 2001 to 2003. He was visiting professor at the Kunstakademie in Karlsruhe and at the HfBK Hamburg. He has accomplished various international projects in places like Japan, India and the US. Holzapfel lives and works in Berlin.

'Vicky Donor' opened up space for quirky realistic films: Yami
'Batti Gul Meter Chalu' release date postponed
Substance of a role matters to me, says Yami Gautam
As soon as I hit the ramp, nervousness goes: Yami Gautam
What is that accent, Shahid?
Yami Gautam has experienced failures in her career but she never feared being written off. The actor says she will keep giving her best till the time she fulfils her dreams.
Yami made a successful debut with the National Award winning "Vicky Donor" in 2012, post which some of her projects except for "Badlapur" and "Kaabil" did not work at the box office.
"When the films didn't work, I never feared being written off. I had other fears to deal with. What if I attend an event and the media asks me 'so and so's film did well, yours didn't', what will I say, how will I handle it. I was too vulnerable, sensitive," Yami told PTI.
"I didn't know how to be myself or be comfortable with the fact that it happens. You just have to accept it. I never bought my ticket to Mumbai, I earned it. I believe I was called for this and I won't leave till I achieve my dreams," she adds.
The actor believes when her movies don't do well, it reflects in the kind of work coming her way.
"If your films don't do well, the kind of films you're offered, you've to choose from only that parameter. May be you're capable of doing much more but at that point of time you've to make best decision out of what has been offered," she adds.
Post the success of "Vicky Donor", Yami was suddenly in the spotlight, but the actor says it took her time to adapt to the new life.
"I think adaptability is really important in the industry specially when you're a newcomer and are not conditioned to this kind of setup. I was never the street-smart kind, I would never express myself so easily."
The actor will be next seen in "Batti Gul Meter Chalu" directed by Shree Narayan Singh and produced by Bhushan Kumar. The film tells the story of electricity theft in rural India and will feature Yami as a lawyer.
The 29-year-old actor is happy that she is finally playing a different character, which does not have any Bollywood heroine cliches.
"What I'm doing here is something I haven't done in any other film. I've realised it's very dated to calculate your role or your screen presence. The impact of your role matters."
Going forward, the actor also has "Uri"a film based on the Uri attacks co-starring Vicky Kaushaland Yami says her sense of picking up a film has evolved.
"It is important to be seen on screen but it matters on what content. Doing films for the heck of it is simple, easy too. Not that I haven't made wrong choices but I stand by them. Patience has been one of my virtues, so I've always waited to do the things I want," she said.
"Batti Gul Meter Chalu", also starring Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor, is scheduled to release on September 21.

Secret Garden Party music festival teases return after four years
The music festival hasn't been on since 2017
Becca Field
Secret Garden Party festival
Music fans have been sent into overdrive after The Secret Garden Party hinted at a possible event going ahead next year.
The famous music festival, which took place in Cambridgeshire for a number of years, has suggested they might be making a long-awaited return.
The rumour that the festival may be making a comeback started after organisers posted a countdown on their Instagram page to their 25.5k followers, captioned "To be continued".

Alongside the countdown is a video montage from previous years which sent fans wild in the comments reminiscing about their memories of the event.
Now the hints are out there, many festival fiends are crossing their fingers that Cambridgeshire's worst kept secret is back after its four-year absence.
This is the first time SGP has posted on their Instagram page since 2017, the year the festival announced it would be their last.
The Secret Garden Party, more commonly referred to as SGP, was an annual art and music festival that would take place at Abbots Ripton near Huntingdon every year.
It was launched by Fred Fellowes and James Whewell in 2004 and gained popularity growing from one stage and 1,000 visitors to 15 stages and 30,000 revellers in 2017.
After 15 years of the festival, in 2017, the creators believed the time was right to close the doors.
While it was active lots of big stars came to the county to perform on the stage including Lily Allen, Florence & The Machine, Years and Years, and Bastille.
Some were convinced the video meant the return of the festival writing, "We're back baby" and "OMG guys it's really happening."
Whether or not the unexpected social media activity actually means the local festival will be on again is still up for debate, but it hasn't stopped its followers from hoping it's good news.
One user got so overwhelmed they commented on the post saying: "I think I just SGPeeeeeeeeed myself."
Others added: "PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!"
A third follower commented "The happiest place on earth. You guys best not be pulling my leg, I will cry!"
With festival season upon us fans will be waiting eagerly for any more announcements.
