Yoga Therapy can be described as helping a person experiencing difficulties with the tools of yoga.
These challenges may be physical, mental, emotional, energetic or/and spiritual.
Specific techniques and principles of Yoga & Ayurveda are used to develop an individualized course of treatment to assist the individual. Although treatments vary considerably, usually there is a practice that the individual takes home to "take/apply" for a specific period.
The practice will vary according to individual constitution, level of the problems, life style, ability, likes & dislikes, spiritual beliefs, and many more variables. The treatments/practice always requires some sort of action which may include some adapted movements/positions, breathing, sound work, meditations, lifestyle changes and/or application of philosophical principles. Practices are always within the capability of the individual and with mutual agreement.
My studies in yoga therapy were (and continue) with Paul Harvey. He follows the teachings of his teacher Desikachar which learned with his teacher & father Krishnamacharya. Recently the International Association of Yoga Therapists recognized my studies and professional experience and awarded me their certificate as yoga therapist.
I also have much influence from my studies in exercise science and my many years of experience working with individuals with exercise therapy in the fitness setting.

Q: Erratic javax.jms.JMSException: Peer disposed I have a erratic problem with Java JMS.
For moments works fine, but throws the following exception erratically and cut the execution.
It is important to note that this occurs without stopping the broker.

Caused by: org.apache.activemq.transport.TransportDisposedIOException: Peer (vm://test#1) disposed.

A: I think it could be this issue with ActiveMQ: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-2902
This issue tracker thread says that it is harmless (it is just a noisy INFO level log message), and that it is fixed in ActiveMQ 5.4.2.
On the other hand, you say that the exception "cut the execution" ... which could mean that this is a different issue to yours ...
UPDATE
Anyone getting a "peer disposed" exception that isn't fixed by upgrading ActiveMQ, and isn't related to shutdown (see Unable to shutdown embedded activeMQ service using the built in BrokerService.stop call) should consider lodging a bug report.

A: It would seem the poster's issue is completely different.  The link mentions a noisy INFO level log message, but the above (which is also what I'm getting) is a thrown JMSException, which has these additional lines from the Caused by: clause.
    at org.apache.activemq.transport.vm.VMTransport.oneway(VMTransport.java:88)
    at org.apache.activemq.transport.MutexTransport.oneway(MutexTransport.java:68)

    at org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnection.doAsyncSendPacket(ActiveMQConnection.java:1275)
    ... 31 more

The odd part is that there is a connection.isClosed() check before it gets this far.  So the connection is open, but the 'peer' is still disposed.  From researching other potential answers online, the only possible solution is that the connection to the broker is intact, but the specific queue may be closed.
For my particular similar case, this occurred when the broker was stopped, but consumers and producers were still attempting to establish connections.  Sometimes the connection would still be considered open (i.e., not closed even though the broker was stopped).  Fixing this to ensure the broker did not die fixed my problem.
I also wanted to add that this issue I've seen in ActiveMQ 5.6 (but I haven't tested in 5.8).

Apple CEO had 'very open' talks with China on privacy, security
Tim Cook met with a Chinese official to talk online security amid allegations that the country tried to hack Apple's iCloud service.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said talks with a Chinese official about online security were "very open," just days after a Web monitoring site claimed Apple's iCloud service was hacked by people with ties to the Chinese government.
Cook met with China Vice Premier Ma Kai on Wednesday in Beijing reportedly to discuss protecting user information. Cook described his talks with the vice premier as "very open," according to an interview with China's state-run Xinhua News Agency on Friday, though details of the conversation were not divulged. The meeting came just a day after Apple warned the public about cyberattacks against its cloud storage service.
On Tuesday, Apple posted a security notice warning iCloud users that they could come under attack.
Apple is deeply committed to protecting our customers' privacy and security. We're aware of intermittent organized network attacks using insecure certificates to obtain user information, and we take this very seriously. These attacks don't compromise iCloud servers, and they don't impact iCloud sign in on iOS devices or Macs running OS X Yosemite using the Safari browser.
In a blog post on Monday, Greatfire.org, which monitors Chinese Internet censorship, accused the Chinese government of being involved in an iCloud hack that attacked users in China. Greatfire said the "malicious attack" was designed to "gain access to usernames and passwords," and claimed China could use the stolen user information to obtain all data stored on iCloud, such as iMessages, photos and contacts.

Apple's sales growth slips in China; iPhone 6 delay partly to blame
The Chinese government denied those allegations, and Cook, who is on a four-day trip to China, has been loath in public comments to say much about the issue. This may be partly due to the importance of the China, the world's largest smartphone market, for Apple. The company sold a record number of iPhones 5S handsets in the country during the fourth quarter of 2013. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus also appear to be off to a strong start, though a delay in launching the new iPhones in the country -- the devices when on sale October 17, a full month after launching in the US and elsewhere -- contributed to a decline in the growth of iPhone sales in China last quarter.
Cook has made it clear that China is one of the company's most important markets. The chief executive on Thursday announced his company hopes to open 25 more retail stores in China within the next couple of years. Apple currently has 15 stores in China.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Peterborough Petes over came a 3-1 third period deficit to tie the game and force overtime for the 3rd of 4 times this season between the two teams and an eventual shootout against the Barrie Colts on Thursday night at the PMC.
The Colts opened the scoring 13:44 into the game on a goal by Ivan Telegin and built a 2-0 lead 15 seconds later on a goal by Colin Behenna, however Peter Ceresnak got the Petes on the board before the end of the period scoring his 5th of the season at 17:14.
The Colts added to their lead 2:27 into the 3rd period on Telegin's 2nd of the night, but the Petes roared back with a pair of goals by Nick Ritchie at 10:01 and Lino Martschini at 17:11 to force overtime.
The extra five minutes solved nothing and the two teams were headed for a shootout that was eventually solved on the 6th shooter for the Colts when Telegin beat D'Agostini for the win.
Next action for the Petes is Friday night in Kitchener when they take on the Rangers. They return home for a 2pm match up with division rival Belleville Bulls on Sunday February 26th.

Collection: Royal and Noble Courts
Ambassador Kosa Pan and Siamese envoys pay their respect to Louis XIV at his court in Versailles.
The court of a monarch, or at some periods an important nobleman, is a term for the extended household and all those who regularly attended on the ruler or central figure. It can also refer to the physical residence of the monarch where the court resides or a series of complexes. In the largest courts, the royal households, many thousands of individuals comprised the court. These courtiers included the monarch or noble's camarilla and retinue, household, nobility, those with court appointments, bodyguard, and may also include emissaries from other kingdoms or visitors to the court. Foreign princes and foreign nobility in exile may also seek refuge at a court.
Near Eastern and Eastern courts often included the harem and concubines as well as eunuchs who fulfilled a variety of functions. At times the harem was walled off and separate from the rest of the residence of the monarch. In Asia concubines were often a more visible part of the court.
Lower ranking servants and bodyguard were not properly called courtiers though may be included as part of the court or royal household in the broadest definition. Entertainers and others may have been counted as part of the court.

The 'Court of Lahore'.
A royal household is the highest ranking example of this. A regent or viceroy may hold court during the minority or absence of a hereditary ruler, and even an elected head of state may develop a court-like entourage of unofficial, personally-chosen advisors and "companions". The French word compagnon, and its English derivation "companion", literally connotes a "sharer of the bread" at table, and indeed the court is an extension of the great individual's household; wherever members of the household and bureaucrats of the administration overlap in personnel, it is sensible to speak of a "court", whether in Achaemenid Persia, Ming China, Norman Sicily, the Papacy before 1870 (see Papal Household) or the Austro-Hungarian Empire. A group of individuals dependent on the patronage of a great man, classically in ancient Rome, forms part of the system of "clientage" that is discussed under vassal.
Court culture
The Macartney Embassy. Lord Macartney salutes the Qianlong Emperor, but refused to kowtow.
The Dutch court is known for old traditions
Individual rulers differed greatly in tastes and interests, as well as in political skills and in constitutional situations. Accordingly, some founded elaborate courts based on new palaces, only to have their successors retreat to remote castles or to practical administrative centers. Personal retreats might arise far away from official court centres.
Etiquette and hierarchy flourish in highly structured court settings, and may leave conservative traces over generations. Most courts featured a strict order of precedence often involving royal and noble ranks, orders of chivalry, and nobility.
One of the major markers of a court is ceremony. Most monarchal courts included ceremonies concerning the investiture or coronation of the monarch and audiences with the monarch. Some courts had ceremonies around the waking and the sleeping of the monarch called a levée.
Orders of chivalry as honorific orders became an important part of court culture starting in the 15th century.[1] They were the right of the monarch to create and grant as the fount of honour.
The earliest developed courts were probably in the Akkadian Empire and in Asia in China during the Shang dynasty, but we find evidence of courts as described in the Neo-Assyrian Empire[2] and in Asia in the Zhou Dynasty.[3] Two of the earliest titles referring to the concept of a courtier were likely the ša rēsi and mazzāz pāni of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.[4] The royal courts influenced by the court of the Neo-Assyrian Empire such as those of the Median Empire and the Achaemenid Empire would also have identifiable developed courts with court appointments and other features associated with later courts.[5]
The imperial court of the Achaemenid Empire at Persepolis is the earliest identifiable complex court with all of the definitive features of a royal court such as a household, court appointments, courtiers, and court ceremony.[6] Though Alexander the Great had an entourage and the rudimentary elements of a court it was not until after he conquered Persia that he took many of the more complex Achaemenid court customs back to the Kingdom of Macedonia to develop a royal court which would later influence the courts of Hellenistic Greece and the Roman Empire.[7]
The Sasanian Empire adopting and developing the earlier court culture and customs of the Achaemenid Empire would also influence again the development of the complex court and court customs of the Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire.[8]
The imperial court of the Byzantine Empire at Constantinople would eventually contain at least a thousand courtiers.[9] The court's systems became prevalent in other courts such as those in the Balkan states, the Ottoman Empire, and Russia.[10] Byzantinism is a term that was coined for this spread of the Byzantine system in the 19th century.[11]
The courts of Chinese Emperors were among the largest and most complex of all, with the Manchu dynasty occupying the whole Forbidden City and other parts of Beijing.
During the Heian era, the Japanese developed an exquisitely refined court that played an important role in their culture.
Medieval Europe
After the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West, a true court culture can be recognized in the entourage of the Ostrogoth Theodoric the Great and in the court of Charlemagne. In the Roman East, a brilliant court continued to surround the Byzantine emperors.
In Western Europe, consolidation of power of local magnates and of kings in fixed administrative centres from the mid-13th century led to the creation of a distinct court culture that was the centre of intellectual and artistic patronage rivalling the abbots and bishops, in addition to its role as the apex of a rudimentary political bureaucracy that rivalled the courts of counts and dukes. The dynamics of hierarchy welded the court cultures together.
Local courts proliferated in the splintered polities of medieval Europe and remained in early modern times in Germany and in Italy. Such courts became known for intrigue and power politics; some also gained prominence as centres and collective patrons of art and culture. In medieval Spain (Castile), provincial courts were created. Minor noblemen and burguesie allied to create a system to oppose the monarchy on many policy issues. They were called "las Cortes de Castilla". These courts are the root of the current Spanish congress and senate.
The courts of the Duchy of Burgundy and the Kingdom of Portugal were particularly influential over the development of court culture and pageantry in Europe. The court of Philip the Good was considered one of the most splendid in Europe and would influence the development of court life later on for all of France and Europe.[12] Later Aliénor de Poitiers of the Burgundian court would write one of the seminal books on court etiquette Les honneurs de la cour (Honors of the Court).
Court life would reach its apogee of culture, complexity and etiquette at the courts of Versailles under Louis XIV of France and the Hofburg under the Habsburgs.
As political executive functions generally moved to more democratic bases, noble courts have seen their function reduced once more to that of a noble household, concentrating on personal service to the household head, ceremonial and perhaps some residual politico-advisory functions. If republican zeal has banished an area's erstwhile ruling nobility, courts may survive in exile. Traces of royal court practices remain in present-day institutions like privy councils and governmental cabinets.

A series of Pharaohs ruled Ancient Egypt over the course of three millennia (circa 3150 BC to 31 BC), until it was conquered by the Roman Empire. In the same time period several kingdoms with their own royal courts flourished in the nearby Nubia region, with at least one of them, that of the so-called A-Group culture, apparently influencing the customs of Egypt itself. From the 6th to 19th centuries, Egypt was variously part of the Byzantine Empire, Islamic Empire, Mamluk Sultanate, Ottoman Empire and British Empire with a distant monarch. The Sultanate of Egypt was a short lived protectorate of the United Kingdom from 1914 until 1922, when it became the Kingdom of Egypt and Sultan Fuad I changed his title to King. After the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 the monarchy was dissolved and Egypt became a republic.
In the Horn of Africa, the Kingdom of Aksum and later the Zagwe Dynasty, Ethiopian Empire (1270–1974), and Aussa Sultanate all had royal courts. Various Somali Sultanates also existed, including the Adal Sultanate (led by the Walashma dynasty of the Ifat Sultanate), Sultanate of Mogadishu, Ajuran Sultanate, Warsangali Sultanate, Geledi Sultanate, Majeerteen Sultanate and Sultanate of Hobyo.
The kingship system has been an integral part of the more centralized African societies for millennia. This is especially true in the tunkalemmu caste in Mali, the Bamum sultans of Cameroon, the Kanem shaykhs of Chad, the Hausa emirs of northern Nigeria, the inkosis of the Southern African Zulus and Xhosas and the obas and baales of Yorubaland, amongst others, continue the pageantry and court lifestyle traditions once common to the continent.
Caliphate courts
All four major Caliphates had sophisticated courts; this enabled Córdoba, Cairo and Baghdad (the respective seats of the Umayyad, the Fatamids and the Abbasids) to become the largest, most culturally developed cities of their time. This drew talented people from all walks of life—such as musicians, singers, poets and scientists—to seek employment under the patronage of elite bureaucrats, emirs and Sultans at court. The other Caliphate was the Ottoman, which employed its court's culture to stabilize an empire inhabited by huge non-Islamic populations spanning three continents. Everything from Algeria to the Balkans to Yemen was controlled by the court in Istanbul.
The royal courts in the Islamic world were mostly run by rulers, but there were the exceptions of important elite families such as Barmakids and Nizams who established their own minor courts, enabling them to encourage arts and improve the empire even if the ruling king was useless.

Court officials or office-bearers (one type of courtier) derived their positions and retained their titles from their original duties within the courtly household. With time, such duties often became archaic. However, titles survived involving the ghosts of arcane duties. These styles generally dated back to the days when a noble household had practical and mundane concerns as well as high politics and culture. Such court appointments each have their own histories. They include:
Almoner
Chapelmaster
Cofferer
Confessor
Cup-bearer
Dapifer
Doorward
Gentleman of the Bedchamber
Gentleman Usher
Grand Almoner
Grand Master of the Hunt
Groom of the Stool
The Royal Fool
Keeper of the seal
King of arms
Knight -/ Earl Marshal
Lady-in-waiting
Master of the Horse
Master of the Hunt
Panter or Grand Panetier
Pursuivant
Stolnik
Court seats
One of the criteria of Norbert Elias' concept of a court society is that it existed in space.[13] Because the German word hof, meaning an enclosed courtyard, can apply to a rural farmstead with outbuildings and walls forming the perimeter, it has also been used for the palatial seat where the court was held. Thus hof or "court" can become transferred to the building itself. For example, though the grand residence Hampton Court on the Thames above London has been a palace where Thomas Wolsey held court as Catholic cardinal (built after the Italian ideal for a cardinal's palace) until his fall and its confiscation by Henry VIII and where William and Mary held court, 1689–94—and though it is built round two main courts—the structure itself, however, is no longer the seat of a court in the sense of this article.
As an example, ambassadors to the United Kingdom are still accredited to the Court of St. James's, and courtiers of the monarchy still have offices in St James' Palace, London. The present monarch, however, holds court at Buckingham Palace, where dignitaries are received.

City council members will consider paving portions of four streets and discuss finding a spot for additional downtown parking at a workshop tonight at 7:30 in the City Hall auditorium.
A majority of residents along the four streets have petitioned to pave their roads, which are: 14th Street between Tennessee and Alabama avenues, 11th Street between Tennessee and Georgia avenues, Fifth Street between New York and Pennsylvania avenues, and 14th Street between Vermont and New Jersey avenues.
City staffers have picked four vacant downtown areas for possible off- street parking: on New York Avenue between the Beauty Box Beauty Shop and Welcome Inn Tavern; on Massachusetts Avenue, directly west of city hall; the southeast corner of 10th Street and Massachusetts Avenue, west of St. Cloud Hotel; and Pennsylvania Avenue between Baker's Furniture and Horseshoe Bar.
Also on the agenda are bids to rehabilitate one of three water wells, and demolition of a 75,000-gallon water tank.

This month, it will find out if the development has been successful at the Thames Valley Property Awards – for Esidential Development – and the RESI Awards – for Development of the Year.
Milestone is on a previously disused Council owned site. It contains 73 new homes, a mixture of one and two-bedroom apartments and two, three and four-bedroom houses. The development also included over 30% affordable housing.
First launched in summer 2016, the homes were popular among local buyers, enjoying a sell-out success. The first of the new residents moved in, December 2017, with the final few sales completing by late summer 2017.
It was SUR's first residential scheme. Help to Buy was widely used, with 78% of buyers using it to assist with their purchase.
Slough is represented in four further categories at the Thames Valley awards, including Town of the Year.
Slough Urban Renewal (SUR) is a partnership between Slough Borough Council and Morgan Sindall Investments.

Armenian Kesaria/Kayser and Cappadocia
by: Richard G. Hovannisian, Ed.
From early antiquity, the Armenian people developed a rich and distinctive culture on the great Armenian highland plateau, extending from Asia Minor to the Caucasus. On that crossroad, they interacted on many levels with civilizations of the Orient and Occident. Immediately to the west of the Armenian highland and the Euphrates River lay Lesser Armenia with Sebastia at its center and Cappadocia with Mazaca, later known as Caesarea (Kesaria/Kayseri), at its center.
Interactions between Armenia and Cappadocia date to early antiquity, when Cappadocia became a contested marchland between empires of East and West. Caesarea also played an important role in Armenian Christian history, as it was there that Gregory the Illuminator, the evangelizer of Armenia, spent his formative years and it was there that he was ordained the first prelate of Armenia in the early fourth century. Because of the turbulent history of the Armenian kingdoms, the Armenian element in Cappadocia increased steadily in the Middle Ages. Byzantine expansionist policies and mounting Turkish pressure constrained Armenian kings and nobles to relinquish their domains in the east in exchange for expanses in Lesser Armenia and Cappadocia.
During the centuries of Ottoman rule, the Armenians of Kesaria were noted as goldsmiths and skilled craftsmen, professionals and producers of carpets, linens, textiles, leather goods, pottery, and cured beef. Beyond the confines of the city of Kesaria with its 20,000 Armenian inhabitants were numerous villages with a combined Armenian population of some 50,000. With their tightly-knit communities, strong religious faith, schools and churches, the Armenians of the Kesaria region managed to preserve their distinct identity down through the centuries. Like almost all other areas of Armenian existence in the Ottoman Empire, however, they were uprooted and deported toward the Syrian deserts in 1915, with very few of the survivors ever returning. These aspects figure among the multidisciplinary discussions in this volume—Armenian Kesaria/Kayseri and Cappadocia.

With Check Point's strong cash flow of $202 million, this is a deal it can't pass up.
Without question, enterprise security services have become a huge market. Although Check Point (NASDAQ:CHKP) has a meaningful lead in this area, investors are starting to feel insecure about the company's growth momentum (or lack thereof). Then again, there aren't many balance sheets on the market that can compare to Check Point's, including $1.5 billion in cash and zero debt.
Be that as it may, this brand of detail rarely matters in the tech sector, where the top line rules. And with young guns such as Palo Alto Networks (NYSE:PANW) boasting sales growth at 50% clips, Check Point's disappointing fourth-quarter revealed that this company has some tough decisions to make if it wants to preserve its lead.
Heading into the fourth-quarter report, the Street wasn't expecting the numbers to be breathtaking. Management had issued guidance considered by many to be very conservative. Plus there were still macro concerns related to Europe and weak corporate enterprise demand, all of which sent the stock plummeting down 13% following the Q3 report. I was nonetheless surprised that report arrived worse than expected.
For the period ending in December, Check Point posted revenue of $368 million, or growing by just 3% year over year. For company that typically reaches the high-end of its projections, this was very substandard, especially for a tech company trading at a P/E 4 points higher than rival Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO). And when compared to Fortinet's (NASDAQ:FTNT) 25% revenue growth in Q4, Check Point's numbers are more disturbing.
However, these comparisons aside, there are clear underlying performance issues here. I will give management a tip of my hat for having navigated the company through the tough challenges of 2012, but patience has a limit. And unless Check Point figures out a way to return to its glory days, investors will begin to question if the premium is deserved, especially since growth has now slowed to the low-single digits.
All of that said, it's hard to abandon a company the size of Check Point that is growing profits annually by 9%. For all of the punishment the company deserves for its horrendous growth, an equal amount of credit is warranted that the bottom line remains so impressive. For instance, not only did GAAP operating income surge 15% sequentially, but it climbed 9% from last year's quarter.
In other words, although growth has come to a crawl, Check Point is doing well squeezing out every penny possible from the customers that it does have. The company also continues to do an excellent job managing costs as evident by only the slight uptick in general and administrative expenses. Then again, it begs asking if this is a good long-term strategy?
Granted, the bottom line looks good. But something's got to give with the top-line looking so weak. And it seems that Check Point has become comfortable with that, as the company spent less this quarter on sales and marketing. By contrast, not only did Fortinet report a 20% increase in sales and marketing, but Fortinet also increased research and development expenses by 25% versus Check Point's 8.8%.
It is this lack of aggressiveness that raises doubt about Check Point's long-term market position. While the strong balance sheet serves to minimize the investment risk, there is no compelling reason to own this stock in the absence of growth. And the competition is not going to make this easy. Margins may be strong today, but eventually there will be pressure.
In that regard, it doesn't appear as if Check Point's management cares a heck of a whole lot about this very possibility. But eventually, this chicken will come home to roost, as it did for IBM a decade ago. And Check Point's management would serve the interests of investors by sacrificing some cash today for a better future tomorrow.
There are always at least two ways to meet the competition head on, either through investments in research and development or via an acquisition. In both areas, Check Point has been passive. Conversely, Cisco has been on an M&A shopping spree while spending over $1.4 billion in R&D for Q1. Meanwhile, Dell recently spent $1.2 billion for enterprise security giant SonicWall.
Whether or not it was the right move remains to be seen. But for Dell, it is hard to argue against the justification. The security industry is growing rapidly and the leaders are beginning to level off. For this reason, I think Check Point should look at Palo Alto as an acquisition target. Granted, Palo Alto is young, and expensive for that matter. But this is a company with impressive growth.
Then again, growth is only one attractive aspect. Palo Alto also has pioneered what is considered next-generation security along with one of the most innovative platforms in the industry. Not to mention the company ended its recent quarter with zero debt while posting cash and equivalents of $322 million. Better still, Palo Alto is expanding its customer base, which now stands at over 10,000.
Check Point can't continue to sit idle and get picked off by Fortinet and Cisco while ignoring these synergies with Palo Alto. And considering Palo Alto's enterprise value of $3.3 billion, it would only cost Check Point $4.5 billion to close this deal. This is money that Check Point can easily raise considering the company ended the year with $3.3 billion in cash and assets that grew 18% year over year. Plus with Check Point's strong cash flow of $202 million, this is a deal it can't pass up. Its future depends on it.

1. I have no "horse" in this race. I do not know Ergun Caner or any of those who have attacked him regarding lies and deceptions about his Muslim past or his wider life experience in general. The link above will provide you with the entire list of accusations.
2. I am not a friend of either Ergun Caner or Norman Geisler. In fact, I have had friends and associations with other Christian leaders over the years who have routinely criticized Dr. Geisler's theology and approach to apologetics. I have met Dr. Geisler but doubt that he would recall the occasion. I was a very young pastor and he was the lecturer in a local church. He was on the faculty of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School at the time. I have never heard, read or met Ergun Caner. I knew nothing about this debate until I read the news in Christianity Today. Furthermore, I know no one on the board at Liberty University.
3. I am more than willing to consider serious accusations against public figures and to act responsibly when accusations are proven as real moral failures and my personal responsibility makes a response necessary. I believe, in other words, that I have moral courage and will take a stand on clearly established facts.
Having said the above I think the reader can readily see I am not emotionally or personally invested in this conflict. I am, however, a Christian leader who understands the way slander, gossip and the Internet can work in tandem to create the perfect storm, a storm that virtually destroys a good person's reputation and ministry. No, I have not been the subject of the blitz that Ergun Caner has undergone. Yes, I have experienced enough of this kind of slander and gossip to read Geisler's defense with a great deal of appreciation and sympathy. Again, I urge you to read it to see how he argues and develops his case for defending Canter.
I have no idea what the relationship between Geisler and Caner is personally but I have to say that I respect Dr. Geisler for coming to the defense of a man besieged by such an avalanche of criticism. Whatever you think of Norman Geisler, and he has taken positions both theologically and practically that I disagree with, it says a lot of good things about him that he would defend Caner when he is down and under such a blistering attack. His arguments, explaining the various charges against Caner, are stated simply and answered cogently. I am sure, however, that Caner's critics could (and will) refute Geisler's statements with counter-statements. The facts here are clear: once this kind of debate begins it will never end. Caner's future is damaged and many of his critics will not stop the gossip even if a court vindicated him completely.
After reading Geisler's defense of Caner I went back to Scripture to study a few texts about gossip and slander. Gossip is a form of idle talk which foolishly or maliciously spreads rumors or (even) facts. The effect of gossip is division and brings destructive consequences to those who are spoken about. Some of the accusations against Caner involve things that he has admitted have elements of truth in them. He has even apologized for several statements about his own life story that were not entirely accurate. (Geisler puts these in a context that helps to show that these things can happen and are not necessarily real proof of the intent to lie!) But in the case of Ergun Caner there appears to be slander as well gossip. Slander is even more serious. It false and malicious talk. Slander harms those against whom it is uttered and it will eventually bring spiritual ruin to those who promote it.
Tomorrow I will explain more of what the Scripture has to say about gossip and slander and provide some personal reflection on how I have been guilty of these sins. More times than I care to remember I have been required by the Holy Spirit to repent of these sins. And these sins have, in turn, publicly harmed me as a servant of Christ.
I have found it compelling to ponder what Paul says about the depths of human sin in Romans 1. Romans 1:28 speaks of God abandoning sinful people to "their foolish thinking" and of how he "let them do things that should never be done." Verse 29 concludes: "Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip." One of the sins that God gives people over to is "gossip." It does seem quite clear that no amount of proof-texting about the necessity of exposing supposedly false teachers justifies the kind of response some Christians routinely promote, especially on the Internet. I do not think this is a minor problem. After writing on the Internet for nearly a decade now I think this problem only grows worse as more and more people use this medium to promote their opinions without faith, hope and love. The Internet has not created this problem. It has only allowed it to grow in terms of the freedom some people have to be empowered while they sit at a keyboard and write just about anything they want to write without any accountability for their words or actions.

As you look toward ways to improve our world, consider the impact of your contributions to NMH.
NMH Fund
Each year, the school's philanthropic priority is to create and maintain a strong NMH Fund. Thousands of alumni, parents, and friends of NMH come together for this crucial common goal: to affirm the value of an NMH education and to ensure that the NMH experience is available for generations to come. Large or small, annual gifts make NMH a strong, dynamic place where the next generation of leaders and changemakers will learn and grow. Make an NMH Fund gift today.
Right now, NMH is in the quiet phase of what will be the largest capital campaign in the school's history, with the goals of increasing endowment (for financial aid, faculty development, and campus stewardship), increasing the NMH Fund, and building new facilities that will support academics, family life, and athletics. We hope you will find a project that captures your attention and that you will help fund.
Gilder Center
NMH is working on the design of a $30 million math and science center that will serve as home to the school's innovative math and science programs. Our architect, Flansburgh-Boston, is committed to honoring our campus architecture while the building "opens its doors to Silicon Valley." Learn more.
NMH draper riverhouse
Currently under construction, the Draper Riverhouse will replace a 50-year-old boathouse that has long been too small for the NMH Rowing Program. NMH offers competitive rowing in both the fall and spring seasons, and each year more than 80 students participate, making it one of the school's most popular sports. Learn more.
Faculty Housing
In 2013, NMH built six new faculty homes in what has become known as "faculty village." The $2.4 million project was completed in 2015. Learn more.
Northfield Mount Hermon opened the Bolger Center for Early Childhood Education in 2017. The bright, spacious 5,630-square-foot facility serves families of NMH employees and community members with programs for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Learn more.


Somehow, the farm bill may hinge on immigration.
House GOP leaders Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy at the Capitol on May 16. With Democratic opposition to the current farm bill, they are navigating vying Republican factions to get it passed.
WASHINGTON ― With GOP support for a farm bill wavering among moderates and conservatives, Republican leaders are facing a dilemma that may force them into a deal this week to at least temporarily kill a discharge petition on immigration ― or not.
House Freedom Caucus leaders emerged Tuesday night with a plan for more than a dozen members to withhold support for the farm bill until leaders agreed to vote on the so-called Goodlatte bill, a hawkish immigration measure authored by Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), the chairman of the judiciary committee. Republican immigration advocates are using the Goodlatte bill as a vehicle to get a vote on a plan addressing the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals immigration program that Democrats would support.
But members of the Freedom Caucus, seeing how close the chamber is to getting a vote on a Democratic-preferred DACA measure, is using their leverage on the farm bill to secure a vote on the Goodlatte bill to, in their minds, effectively kill the DACA discharge petition and reset the clock on when GOP moderates and Democrats could get a vote on the issue. The problem with this plan is that it isn't clear whether voting on Goodlatte would kill the discharge petition.
Discharge petitions are used to bypass leadership decisions on which bills get a vote and can bring a bill to the floor with a minimum of 218 signatures. The current discharge petition is on a rule that would bring up Goodlatte and a number of other immigration proposals. Although conservatives in the Freedom Caucus think dispensing with Goodlatte would render the rule moot, it's possible that the Republicans and Democrats who support the discharge petition could change the rule.
The uncertainty over the gambit is adding to the shakiness of the farm bill, as well as the Goodlatte bill, but GOP leaders say they would like to avoid all these complications by voting on the Goodlatte proposal only if it has the votes to pass.
The problem with that idea is that its author has shown little willingness to alter the legislation to make it more palatable to his fellow Republicans, and there may be a key number of Republicans who would side with Democrats for a solution for immigrants affected by DACA.
These issues would normally be separate from the farm bill, which reauthorizes certain farm subsidies for five years and provides money for food stamps, but the Freedom Caucus wants to use the weak support for the farm bill as leverage.
GOP aides said the clearest path to victory on the farm bill may be to just give conservatives what they want.
Nearly all Democrats intend to vote against the farm bill, and that, coupled with at least a dozen moderate Republicans signaling strong opposition to the bill and at least another dozen conservatives who understand the power they have to extract an immigration concession, means Republicans just don't have the votes. And because moderates look far more immovable than conservatives on the farm bill, the GOP leadership is forced to deal with the representatives whose votes can be bought.
Some Republicans from New Jersey and New York and possibly some from Pennsylvania look poised to vote against the farm bill when it's supposed to come up for a vote on Friday, no matter what, and a smattering of other members could have problems too, particularly if the right ― or wrong ― amendments are adopted or rejected.
That means GOP leaders don't have the votes to pass the bill if more than a dozen conservatives oppose the legislation. And with leadership stating its preference to avoid the discharge petition anyway, GOP aides said the clearest path to victory on the farm bill may be to just give conservatives what they want ― only that may change if the gambit to kill the discharge petition wouldn't work anyway.
What conservatives ultimately want is still up in the air. Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) told reporters Tuesday night that he wanted a vote on the Goodlatte bill to happen concurrently with the farm bill so that leaders couldn't go back on their word, but he also said he could give GOP leaders some leeway if they promised to hold a vote, say, next week.
Of course, that was when Meadows was under the belief that voting on Goodlatte would at least delay the discharge petition. Now conservatives may regroup and think of a different ask. But even if Republicans reach a deal among themselves, they may still have problems passing the farm bill. There are still a significant number of moderates opposing the bill, and there are likely a few conservatives who will vote "no" regardless of whether leadership cuts a deal, particularly if there's no feasible agreement on immigration.
Another potential issue concerns the Republicans who support the discharge petition. On Wednesday, those Republicans seemed to be caught flat-footed by the Freedom Caucus' gambit. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), who told HuffPost she is voting against the farm bill, said she hadn't heard anything about conservatives trying to kill the discharge petition. And Mario Diaz-Balart, another pro-immigration Republican from Florida, said he was concentrating on appropriations (though he said he supported the farm bill).
GOP moderates could still band together to oppose the farm bill if their leadership worked out some mechanism to give conservatives what they want by somehow killing the discharge petition, but there seems to be no organized effort to do that at the moment.
Republicans have acknowledged that passing the farm bill with only GOP votes would be difficult, but they now find themselves negotiating against different factions of the conference.
The farm bill combines welfare for farmers and the much bigger Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is commonly known as food stamps and is one of the federal government's biggest anti-poverty programs. It helps 40 million Americans buy food every month.
Most Republicans in Congress think there are too many people on the program who should be working instead, and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has said reforming SNAP would make it easier for employers to fill available jobs.
The bill would expand a SNAP work requirement ― which currently applies to recipients ages 18 to 49 who don't have minor children or disabilities ― to people in their 50s and parents of minors older than 6. There would be several exemptions, but generally, the requirement would be to work 20 hours a week or spend that amount of time in an approved activity, such as enrollment in a government training program that the legislation would create.
The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the expanded work requirement would reduce enrollment by an additional 1.2 million people in 2028. With no policy change, the office expects enrollment to decline by 8 million by then because of the improving economy. But some moderates ― and almost all Democrats ― see those changes as an assault on food stamps.
There's also a significant battle brewing over sugar subsidies in the farm bill. Some members from areas where sugar is grown want higher prices, while companies using it to make products like candy and soda want cheaper sugar.
GOP leaders believe they can find the right balance to — ahem — sweeten the bill for some Republicans, but they may end up ostracizing some members and further complicating the vote math.

External Link: Platooning trucks drive in close formation to save petrol costs.
Related Story: Are self-driving warships and 'smart trucks' the future?
Australia's expanse of open road is being eyed off by a United States start-up business developing software it says will make long-haul driving safer and cut fuel costs.
The technique, called platooning, utilises vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology and has been shown to cut fuel consumption by up to 15 per cent.
It is being highlighted at the International Driverless Vehicle Conference currently being hosted in Adelaide.
"Truck platooning is where you have two trucks that follow in close proximity to each other so they might share in fuel economy and safety benefits," Peloton Technology, head of advanced development Doctor Shad Mr Laws said.
He said platooning still required a truckie to be focussed on the task of driving and steering.
"Right now there's a huge shortage both in the US market and in the Australian market and so the demand for trucking continues to increase," Mr Laws said.
"E-commerce makes that even greater, so we're left with a huge shortage, which is a big challenge for the trucking industry."
Peloton Technology will roll out software in the US next year that will allow trucks to drive in formation while safely allowing access to their lane for other vehicles.
A spokeswoman for the Australian Driverless Vehicle Initiative said platooning technology could attract more drivers by offering safer and more comfortable working conditions.
But South Australian Road Transport Association executive director Steve Shearer said platooning was not yet legal in Australia.
He pointed out that hundreds of Australian laws would also need to change to provide for autonomous vehicles.
"It's still a long way off and people driving the technology tend to get a little bit excited," Mr Shearer said.
He said platooning would also require cooperation from people in private vehicles using the same roads.
