A few weeks ago, I referenced Romans 12:2 in a comment on SteveK's post on fire codes and faith. Tim B questioned whether this was a relevant passage. This post represents my further thoughts on the passages relevance to bureaucracy.
"In the world, but not of it." This is a concept long embraced by Mennonites in style of dress and rejection of other "worldy" trappings. But in the last 50 years, the stance of mainstream Mennonites has changed dramatically. Embracing radio, television and lipstick, we've come to see our Christian distinctiveness through our dissenting view on war, our commitment to simple living and our Christian service. Unfortunately, in our rush to engage the world on these issues, we have uncritically embraced a piece of this aion (Gk., spirit of this world) far more dangerous then lipstick and ties. That is: institutional structures and bureaucracy.
Tim, you might say, aren't you being a bit over-dramatic? Can institutional structures really hurt anyone? Aren't they just neutral tools that can be used for good or ill?
This week, I finished this lovely book. I'm a bit behind on the bandwagon, but I'm glad I finally got around to it: finishing Animal, Vegetable, Miracle left me feeling challenged and alive and hopeful.
The book is Kingsolver's account of a year's experiment in local eating. She, along with her husband and two daughters, set out to fully occupy their Virginia land, gardening and raising animals, canning and freezing, cooking from scratch, and purchasing what they could not make (with a few exceptions) from sources as nearby as possible. It's a beautifully written narrative, combining experience and research. Kingsolver's husband Steven Hopp provides succinct (and sometimes zingy) sidebars on the politics and science of U.S. food economics, and her daughter Camille ends many of the chapters with a young person's perspective and suggested recipes.
Lately I have been doing a lot of communicating with God via the Holy Spirit; or is it that God has been doing a lot of communicating with me via the Holy Spirit or even still a combination thereof? God has been giving me a desire to become a "United Front" with my Christian Community who are literally brothers and sisters through Christ Jesus. I feel that Satan is using the technique of "divide and conquer". I, for one, have felt isolated from Christian Fellowship and disconcerted by it.
God has been ministering to me and He has put something in my heart that I feel is very much His reasoning power. This is what my conversation with God has brought me. Isn't it beneficial for the Christian Community to have believers that are well fortified? He has shown me the image via an analogy. It is interesting how American society has the impression that they have to fend for themselves. It is a very social Darwinistic complex. Each family member feels like they have to be responsible for providing for their own success. It is up to them to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" and not "be out for a hand-out". This attitude creates defensiveness, competitiveness, contempt, insecurity, fear, pity, strife, envy, depression, a lack of motivation, procrastination, a sense of inferiority, defeat, anger, hatred, you get the picture… It is fertile ground for negative emotions that fuel everything from "racism" to family separateness, to death i.e. suicide, addiction, etc.
Refuse to Be Tempted to Have a Despairing Heart; Refuse to be Alienated!
I have finally discovered how to beat spiritual oppression. I realize that in this day and age of the trillion self-proclaimed "self-help gurus" that this blog may just fall by the wayside. But my spirit must confess what I have learned on this journey, commonly referred to as life. This is a practice and it is work and sometimes hard work, but I must say that the alternative namely living life angrily, broken-up, passive-aggressively, and above all in a negative fashion is far more draining even if it is less work at the end of the day.
I have noticed that I find it most unbearable to subject myself to people who have entitlement complexes, resentments that they refuse to amend, grudges, burnt bridges, sour grapes, angry dispositions, and in general a loathsome negative approach to their thinking. It is not enough that people who have decided to be negative are themselves negative but unfortunately this adult form of colicky can not seem to help but to alienate whoever has the bad fortune of making their acquaintance. It may seem that I have a lack of compassion for those who suffer from this form of spiritual oppression but that is not the case, it is just that I by birth inherited such a person who happen to come in the form of a parent and several grandparents and so I have been initiated into this horrible lot from childhood and therefore it has been a uphill struggle for me to reclaim my birthright as a Joyful Christian and Defender of the Faith.


According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), about 640,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year. That accounts for 1 in every 4 deaths. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women.
Early intervention is key when it comes to heart health.
Call 9-1-1 immediately if someone is having these symptoms!
Heart and Vascular Screenings save lives!
While heart disease is the number one cause of death in Americans, vascular disease can be debilitating and sometimes deadly as well. You can stay a few steps ahead with advanced heart and vascular screening technology offered periodically at Windom Area Health through Sanford Health. Screening is one of many ways we can help you live better and age smarter.
A heart screen includes a CT calcium score to analyze the amount of plaque in the coronary arteries, an EKG, cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass Index (BMI), and a Framingham score (which estimates the risk of developing heart disease within the next 10 years). The more plaque you have in the arteries of your heart, the greater chance of having a heart attack.
A vascular screen includes three types of scans. The stroke/carotid artery ultrasound checks patients for signs of a stroke, or problems with the carotid arteries. The abdominal aortic aneurysm ultrasound checks for an enlargement or bulge in the artery which is often hereditary and potentially fatal. The third scan is the ankle/brachial index. This procedure checks the blood flow in the legs which could indicate a higher risk for heart disease.

Iraq allows open access to foreign investors
The US-appointed Iraqi government unveiled sweeping reforms allowing foreign investors to do business in all sectors except oil, ending about 30 years of state economic restrictions.
Unemployment has soared to about 60% since US-led invasion
Iraqi Finance Minister Kamil al-Keylani said on Sunday the reforms would spur economic growth, speed Iraq's re-entry into the international community and "significantly advance efforts to build a free and open market economy in Iraq."
Reforms include liberalising foreign investment, freeing the banking sector, cutting taxes and introducing import tariffs.
"Iraq needs jobs, it needs to have growth," a senior US official, who declined to be named, told Reuters.
"This isn't just a proposal - this is the law, this is one. This was all signed yesterday," the US official said.
Keylani said the reforms would be implemented "soon" though would not be drawn on an exact date.
The wide-ranging measures, which end an era of command economic practices under Saddam Hussein and the socialist Baath Party, are aimed at garnering international support in the run up to a donors' conference in Madrid next month.
"The fact that they ban investment in oil resources is good because it sends the message that America was not only after Iraq's oil"
Unidentified Arab foreign minister
Illegal occupation
Washington's invasion of Iraq, condemned by the majority of the world's countries as illegal, caused an upsurge in anti-US sentiment in Europe and concern in the Arab world that America sought only to control Iraq's oil resources.
Still, the reforms allow for 100% foreign ownership in all economic areas except natural resources. That means foreign companies cannot control the country's oil.
"The fact that they ban investment in oil resources is good because it sends the message that America was not only after Iraq's oil," an Arab finance minister who declined to be identified said of the steps.
Further, there will be no screening process - something the Iraqis requested - which makes investment in the war wracked country more alluring to foreigners.
Forex liberalisation
The reforms also include a free transfer of foreign exchange earnings for investors, full central bank independence and relatively free entry for foreign banks into Iraq.
New bank rules were signed in Iraq on Saturday, the US official said. Six foreign banks will get "fast-track" entry into Iraq and full ownership of local banks within five years.
The new laws also cut top tax rates for individuals and corporations to 15% from 45%, the US official said.
Iraq will also charge a 5% surcharge on all imports except for humanitarian goods such as food, medicine and books.

Unauthorized overtime: does a company have to pay?
If managers must pre-approve overtime but an employee works overtime without permission, does the company have to pay for the unauthorized overtime wages?
Stacey Gibson, Director of Human Resources
Newsletter pre-approval policy human resources Overtime pre-approved overtime employee handbook pre-approved Corrective Action manager training handbook Payroll unauthorized overtime withhold pay FLSA company policy authorized overtime
Joe, a nonexempt construction worker, was laying tile for a commercial building when his manager got an emergency phone call from home. In a rush, his manager told Joe to finish up what he was working on by 4pm, then he left the site in a hurry.
Joe continued working until he finished the job, clocking out just past 7pm. When his manager saw Joe's timecard was up to 43 hours for the week, he was furious and told Joe he wouldn't be paid for the unauthorized overtime, per company policy.
Can a company legally withhold pay for unauthorized overtime?
No. Per the FLSA, nonexempt employees must be paid for time and a half when they are "suffered or permitted" to work more than 40 hours in a workweek (8 hours a day in some states). While the manager didn't approve of Joe working overtime, it would be difficult to prove he wasn't "permitted" to work and could lead to legal repercussions for the company if they didn't pay.
What recourse can a company take for unauthorized overtime?
Before considering any recourse for an employee working unauthorized overtime, first be sure you have a company policy that says overtime must be pre-approved. Also verify that the employee has signed the employee handbook acknowledging the policy.
Next, find out if this is the first time anyone in the company has worked overtime without getting pre-approval. If it's a first offense, be aware that you're setting a precedent for future infractions. Be sensitive to the employee's hard work, remind them of the policy, and give a verbal warning. Inform the employee that future violations will lead to disciplinary action, per company policy.
If you discover there has been a previous incident of an overtime violation, you'll need to follow the same disciplinary action from that situation to avoid any appearance of discrimination. ("Why did this employee only get a verbal warning but I got a written warning when I did it last year?")
How do I prevent unauthorized overtime?
The best way to avoid an unauthorized overtime infraction is to have managers remind employees about the need to have overtime pre-approved. This could be a verbal reminder, an email, something shared in the company chatroom, hung next to the labor law posters, and so on.
Managers should also be trained on wage and hour laws to understand that employees must be paid for any time worked. However, they cannot make employees clock out and still perform job duties, even if it's just cleaning up afterwards or responding to work-related emails.
Also keep in mind that you can't have a policy that prohibits overtime while expecting employees to get their work done in an unreasonable amount of time. This may lead to cut corners or potential safety risks for employees rushing to get things done too quickly.

Quarter Life Crisis: Exploring the Anxiety of Losing Control Through SZA's 'Ctrl' Companion
Colliding with a tree a few feet from the road is what caused the spiraling machine to cease all movement. All was frozen, still. No injuries, no fatalities. Yet, in the midst the calm madness, there was a sensation clawing beneath my skin as if to permanently bury a specific feeling within my jackhammer heartbeat.
Control could be lost. Even for a brief moment, losing control had consequences.
My first car accident started as a tickle panic, the familiar nervousness a car accelerating too quickly. Slowing down is the answer to allete the worry, slow down is what I told myself. But as my Ford Focus blitzed down the sloping hill and the tires rumbled f the road, it was too late. My first car was totaled that day―a casualty carelessness, the sacrifice exchanged for a life lesson.
I think back to the collision each time SZA's "Supermodel" is played, the intro to her debut album, Ctrl. Before she begins to sing, her mother speaks:
Fatal is an intense description control and the concept losing it. These are words realized through experience, soaked into the bones and tattooed upon the torso. Death has no presence on SZA's acclaimed opus―the album is too much a reflection life to explore fatality―but the powerful fear and the desire to maintain control exist as an overarching theme. SZA, as a black woman in her mid-20s, is able to examine conventional circumstances juxtaposed by the ongoing struggle to sustain a sense authority over one's life because it has become such a big part life itself.
Listening to "The Weekend" is hearing how one man has manipulated the weekly schedules two women vying for his attention. He is dominant, the center pleasure and manager time. Though SZA's character describes their circumstances with confidence―sure he'll be there no later than 10:30 for a weekend love―her deeper desire for more has no influence over what has been decided. The Kendrick Lamar-assisted "Dove In the Wind" gives all sovereignty to the women, providers pleasure, and the sacredness resting between their inner thighs. She holds the key to who enters and who doesn't―all-powerful and unwavering to the undeserving.
During the Ctrl rollout, SZA arrived on Everyday Struggle and further explained the album's concept: "Control is a concept. You think about getting away from analog; control is an illusion, you try and force it." M Kash, a contributing writer to Spotlightfirst, took the quote and analyzed how the album could be divided into three sections illusory control types: Mind, Ego, and Heart. She touched on how love, hate, and fear are extensions the control type foundation and how their influences manifest into how situations are handled in relationships. It's a short but great look into the internal ramifications created by the concept and illusion control:
What will give Ctrl longevity and future significance is how its eternal theme connects with listeners who are too young to fully understand it, but who will encounter the varying degrees control later in life; listeners who are living out the lyrics in their present, and those who remember when they were praying to survive their 20s, able to look back with new appreciation for the trials that lead to growth. The theme is a universal one, not tamed by time or constrained by age.
Living out your 20s ten feels like gripping the steering wheel, attempting to stay on the intended course. You can know the direction and follow the map, but the road is filled with variables that can remove the command from your fingertips. Illusory control is internal, while there's an external control that's also a large part growing up and growing old. This is why Quarter Life Crisis, the sophomore album by Marietta, Georgia's Kelechi, is a great companion project to SZA's Ctrl. Throughout Ctrl, there's a sense crisis very specific to once you mature beyond adolescence but before you reach full adulthood. Quarter Life Crisis gives a voice to that sweet middle period, where you know the world but truly begin to meet it in the raw. This meeting tends to bring both joy and disaster, thrills and pain, uncertainty and self-assurance all at once.
We aren't in control who we are, and who we are born to. Kelechi understands this. He doesn't curse his Nigerian black skin, but glorifies his heritage over a sample Michael Kiwanuka's "Black Man In A White World." We don't decide the world we come into, or how this world will treat us. When he raps the police on "Bang With Us" he illustrates them as gang members. The lyric "My gang can turn fitteds to snapbacks, turn truth into lies, and kids into threats / My bullets turn niggas into hashtags" brings a haunting reality what is well-known―there are people who h the ve power to control if you live or die and have done so with minimal repercussion. Videos murders have made the images black men and women being gunned down by police ficers commonplace occurrences.
Irony can be heard on the album's first song, "Flowers": while singing "I'm going to live forever" with the backing a choir, a gunshot suddenly turns the soulful tune to silence broken only by a falling body. Immortality is the hope children, death is the truth for the adult.
Morality and how little we control the end our lives isn't the only theme Quarter Life Crisis, though. In a similar fashion as Ctrl, the album is wide-ranging and full expansive themes told through various accounts that intertwine. Skits give QLC a linear story, one where Kelechi's phone calls and conversations with his brother, mother, and girlfriend bring familiarity to his world. He feels the pressure the weight to either chase his dream or follow a more conventional path.
One my favorite moments on the album is an awkward conversation with his mother, who is listening to her son explain why he's dropping out college to pursue music. "You are putting your life, your faith, in the hands people," she says once he explains how being a finalist in a contest could be his big break. It shows a shaky reluctance not to allow her influence to control his life while betting on uncertain variables not within his power to sway. All he has control over is the belief that it'll all work out and the passion to follow it through to the end. The shadow belief is doubt, to have one is to intimately know the other.
Ctrl and Quarter Life Crisis both serve as a reminder that I'm not alone. The anxiousness and anxiety that has become second nature are shared by many, those other swirling cars are being stopped by trees. Both albums carry a similar sense feeling young yet old, unfinished but evolving, still in search self but recognizing who I am becoming. We want control, in love and in life; our bodies and our art. Albums for the hopeless romantics and dream chasers hoping to be the masters their universes. We are in control, yet, we aren't.
Control is something we fight hardest for once we know the hopeless emptiness that comes with losing it. You will lose it. Maybe it will come early, maybe it will come late, but we all lose control. There are lessons awaiting in the loss.

In another study, the teens in the US were noted to have oral sex before they started sexual intercourse, as they perceive such practice to be less risky compared to "real" sex.

She said he apologised after the first time. The oral stimulation of the other parts of the body is technically not considered oral sex.

Q: Maze-like backtracking So, I'm trying to make a maze solver with given (X, Y) coordinates of start and end positions, but I have a condition: everytime it goes from one point to another it should check if the new position is lower than the previous (a[x][y] <= some_height_variabile). Here is my code so far:
#include <stdio.h>

#define N 4

int a[N][N] =
{
    {35, 75, 80, 12},
    {13, 12, 11, 3},
    {32, 9, 10, 8},
    {12, 2, 85, 1}
};

int sol[N][N];

int h, k, count;
int end_x = -1, end_y = -1;
int start_x = -1, start_y = -1;

void print()
{
    int i, j;

    for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
    {
        for (j = 0; j < N; j++)
        {
            if (sol[i][j] > 0)
                printf("%d ", sol[i][j]);

            else
                printf("_ ");
        }
        printf("\n");
    }

    printf("\n");
}

int solution(int x, int y)
{
    return (x == end_x && y == end_y);
}

int valid(int x, int y)
{
    return (x >= 0 && x < N && y >= 0 && y < N && a[x][y] <= h && !sol[x][y]);
}

void back(int x, int y)
{
    if (valid(x, y))
    {
        k ++;
        sol[x][y] = k;
        h = a[x][y]; // right here I'm updating the variabile

        if (solution(x, y))
        {
            count ++;
            print();
        }
        else
        {
            back(x + 1, y);
            back(x, y + 1);
            back(x - 1, y);
            back(x, y - 1);
        }

        sol[x][y] = 0;
        h = a[x][y]; // I actually don't know where to put this
        k --;
    }
}

int main(void)
{
    int i, j;

    for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
    {
        for (j = 0; j < N; j++)
            printf("%d ", a[i][j]);

        printf("\n");
    }

    while (start_x >= N || start_x < 0 || start_y >= N || start_y < 0)
    {
        printf(">> Start X: "); scanf("%d", &start_x);
        printf(">> Start Y: "); scanf("%d", &start_y);
    }

    h = a[start_x][start_y];

    while (end_x >= N || end_x < 0 || end_y >= N || end_y < 0)
    {
        printf(">> End X: "); scanf("%d", &end_x);
        printf(">> End Y: "); scanf("%d", &end_y);
    }

    printf("Generated solutions:\n");
    back(start_x, start_y);

    if (!count)
        printf("No path was found!\n");

    return 0;
}

So, for start_x = 0, start_y = 0, end_x = 1, end_y = 3 it should bring the 35 -> 13 -> 12 -> 11 -> 3 and the 35 -> 13 -> 12-> 11 -> 10 -> 8 -> 3 solutions.
Without that condition the algorithm is working fine, it's just that I don't know where to update the h variable.

A: I think you are on the right track. However the variable h seems redundant. Instead you need two more things:
1) Have you visited a particular cell before or not.
2) The value of your previous move, so when as you move to the next cell or consider moving to the next cell you verify if its a valid move.
Your modified code is as follows:
#include <stdio.h>

#define N 4

int a[N][N] =
{
    {35, 75, 80, 12},
    {13, 12, 11, 3},
    {32, 9, 10, 8},
    {12, 2, 85, 1}
};

int sol[N][N];
int visited[N][N];

int h, k, count;
int end_x = -1, end_y = -1;
int start_x = -1, start_y = -1;

void print()
{
    int i, j;

    for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
    {
        for (j = 0; j < N; j++)
        {
            if (sol[i][j] > 0)
                printf("%d ", sol[i][j]);

            else
                printf("_ ");
        }
        printf("\n");
    }

    printf("\n");
}

int solution(int x, int y)
{
    return (x == end_x && y == end_y);
}

int valid(int x, int y, int currentCellValue)
{
    return (x >= 0 && x < N && y >= 0 && y < N && a[x][y] <= currentCellValue && !sol[x][y] && !visited[x][y]);
}

void back(int x, int y, int curr)
{
    if (valid(x, y, curr))
    {
        k ++;
        sol[x][y] = k;
        visited[x][y] = 1;

        if (solution(x, y))
        {
            count ++;
            print();
        }
        else
        {
            back(x + 1, y, a[x][y]);
            back(x, y + 1, a[x][y]);
            back(x - 1, y, a[x][y]);
            back(x, y - 1, a[x][y]);
        }

        sol[x][y] = 0;
        visited[x][y] = 0;
        k --;
    }
}

int main(void)
{
    int i, j;

    for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
    {
        for (j = 0; j < N; j++)
            printf("%d ", a[i][j]);

        printf("\n");
    }

    while (start_x >= N || start_x < 0 || start_y >= N || start_y < 0)
    {
        printf(">> Start X: "); scanf("%d", &start_x);
        printf(">> Start Y: "); scanf("%d", &start_y);
    }

    h = a[start_x][start_y];

    while (end_x >= N || end_x < 0 || end_y >= N || end_y < 0)
    {
        printf(">> End X: "); scanf("%d", &end_x);
        printf(">> End Y: "); scanf("%d", &end_y);
    }

    printf("Generated solutions:\n");
    back(start_x, start_y, a[start_x][start_y]);

    if (!count)
        printf("No path was found!\n");

    return 0;
}

During the call to back notice how I pass the value of the current cell, which is passed to the isValid function to make sure if the move is valid or not.
int visited[N][N]; ensures that you dont visit the same cell over and over again.

The 25 Most Exciting Acts of Iceland Airwaves 2015
A festival of outstretched hands, smiling faces, and elated human bodies
by Lior Phillips and Nina Corcoran

Photography by Nina Corcoran
Fighting against the icy temperatures of Reykjavík in November, Iceland Airwaves' 16th edition produced heaps of heat during its five days of hip-hop, rock, electronic, and experimental noise music. A genre-crossing concoction of musical riches, it's one of the most diverse festivals in history and undoubtedly one of the best. There's no such thing as a "one size fits all festival" anymore. If you're looking for DIY hysteria, perky pop, or something obscurer – perhaps flotation tank-ish – Iceland Airwaves offers something for everyone. From dream-pop romancers Beach House to full symphonic orchestras supporting John Grant and the towering list of Icelandic bands on the bill, the festival tailors to your every desire. Part of the festival's appeal is how the magical atmosphere of its small host, Reykjavík, focuses on embracing the festival. Record stores, hostels, coffee shops, and window displays of clothing outlets are transformed into live music venues (every communal space is a stage), and it's utterly astonishing to experience.
Iceland Airwaves inspires the kind of daydream all music lovers spend years thinking about. It's one of the most welcoming and easy-to-get-around festivals in the world, too, and even if, like us, you weren't planning on eating Hákarl (rotten shark) while you're there or getting the chance to meet Björk, it will happen (because sometimes a girl's got to call for an immediate global protest). All things considered, the magic of the festival is everlasting. Outstretched hands, smiling faces, and elated human bodies are Iceland Airwaves in a nutshell.
Takk, góða nótt, so long, and thanks for all the fish. Here are our highlights. See you same place, same time next year.

Album Review: Jeff Lynne's ELO – Alone in the Universe


Remember how confindent I was that Maddy is the sweetest, most angelic child you could possibly meet?
He throws things, spits medicine at nurses, and will pinch most anyone who approaches his ICU bed. Of course, when a nurse pinched him back he only giggled hysterically. Maybe it's just the drugs?
Granted, he did have his ribcage sawed apart, pried open, and then had his insides tinkered with. I'd probably be pretty grumpy if I were in his position. Teddy Grahams and M&M candies made him smile, so at least we know of some way to bribe a smile out of him.
The most important thing, though, is that he is being released to the step-down unit; he'll be watched a bit longer and then—assuming there aren't any surprises—he and his grandmother will go home.
Maddy's newly-healed heart is a source of great joy for us. If you hadn't already heard, he is our 300th lifesaving heart surgery to date, and we're celebrating that this Christmas by stocking up on medical supplies.
You can help us do this. God-willing, by this time next year we'll have saved another 300 children. That means we'll double our total lives saved in just one year!
To help us make this massive leap forward for Iraqi kids, donate here.

Boeing VC-137C Stratoliner 62-6000, SAM 26000. (Boeing)
19 May 1963: During a non-stop flight from Andrews Air Force Base, outside Washington, D.C., to Moscow, Russia, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a Boeing VC-137C, 62-6000, under the command of Colonel James B. Swindal, United States Air Force, set 15 Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) World Records for Speed Over a Recognized Course. Colonel Swindal flew the airplane, commonly known as Air Force One, 5,004 miles (8,053.2 kilometers) in 8 hours, 39 minutes, 2 seconds, averaging 490.96 miles per hour (790.12 kilometers per hour). On the return flight, 15 additional records were set.
The fastest segment of the flight was from to Boston, Massachusetts to Oslo, Norway, at an average speed of 952.62 kilometers per hour (591.93 miles per hour).¹
The New York Times reported:
MOSCOW — President Kennedy's Air Force jet today set a nonstop speed record between Washington and Moscow and shattered 14 other air records. The $8 million Boeing 707, carrying a ten-man party headed by Atomic Energy Commission chairman Glenn T. Seaborg, touched down eight hours 38 minutes and 42 seconds after takeoff — the fastest flight ever made between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Interred was a Soviet myth that the U.S. lacked a plane able to make a 5,000-mile run nonstop. The black-nosed blue and white jet, piloted by Col. James B. Swindal, 46, of Falls Church, Virginia, made it with fuel for more than two hours of flight remaining, proving that any delays in reaching a commercial agreement are political, not technical.
— The New York Times, 19 May 1963
The Washington Post reported that
. . . On board were a Soviet navigator and a Soviet radio operator, the usual requirements for all international flights over Soviet territory. The two men, both speaking English, flew to Washington to make the flight.

The Boeing VC-137C was the first of two specially-configured Boeing 707-353B airliners used by the President of the United States, or other senior administration officials. The distinctive white, blue and natural metal livery was created by the famed industrial designer Raymond Loewy.
When the president is aboard, the airplane is designated "Air Force One". At other times, it uses the Special Air Mission designation, SAM 26000. The airplane entered service in 1962, replacing the three earlier commercial Boeing 707-153 airliners, which were designated VC-137A Stratoliner, USAF serial numbers 58-6970–58-6972.
SAM 26000 was itself replaced by SAM 27000 in 1972, though it remained available as a back-up aircraft. It was retired to the National Museum of the United States Air Force on 20 May 1998.

James Barney Swindal was born 18 August 1917 in West Blocton, Alabama. He was the first of two children of Samuel Young Swindal, a carpenter, and Ida Maranda Kornegay Swindal.
James Barney Swindal married Miss Emily Mae Glover on 18 November 1936, at Birmingham, Alabama. They would have two children. He was employed as a crane operator for a cast iron pipe company in Birmingham.
Swindal enlisted as an aviation cadet in the U.S. Army at Montgomery, Alabama, 28 February 1942, shortly after the United States entered World War II. He was blonde with blue eyes, 5 feet, 11 inches (1.80 meters) tall, and weighed 147 pounds (67 kilograms). Trained as a pilot in the U.S. Army Air Forces, he flew transports in the China-Burma-India (CBI) theater of operations. After the War, he participated in the Berlin Airlift.
Swindal became President Kennedy's personal pilot in 1960. He flew JFK to Berlin for his famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech, 26 June 1963, and later flew President Kennedy's casket from Dallas, Texas to Washington, D.C. Colonel Swindal retired from the Air Force in 1971. When SAM 26000 arrived at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, he sat in its cockpit for a last time.
Colonel Swindal died at Cape Canaveral, Florida, 25 April 2006, at the age of 88 years. He was buried at the Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia.

SEVEN REASONS WHY BEING SINGLE IN MY 20'S HAS BEEN A GAME CHANGER!


Hey you. Yes, you. Gave me my first kiss and then got back together with your ex-girlfriend a week later. I hated that. That sucked. Really, pretty heartless, you know? And I heard you didn't treat her that well either. Well, whatever. Forget you. And oh yeah, can't forget you. You forgot me. All the time. Bottom of the priority list... all the time. I've never cried so much in my whole life compared to that time with you. And so what? You, who appeared to have everything, but couldn't see it right in front of you. Pushed me aside because everything else in the world was more important. And how about you? Getting mad at me because I couldn't decide what I wanted. Forcing me to decide I didn't want you. And maybe it's so annoying to me that you worked so hard to get me to like you that when I finally did, it wasn't enough for you. I was too nice to you. Whatever. And how was I supposed to know that you were treating every girl exactly the same as me? I was stupid to think that I was somehow more special in your eyes. Oh well. The whole time I thought that you were the one for me, but when I gave you the option of sticking around, you ran away as quick as possible. Well thanks. Thanks for making it really easy for me to forget about you. And as far as you go, I liked you. Don't sit there and make it sound like I had it wrong the whole time, like I was dumb for believing you liked me too. I deserve a lot more respect than for you to act like nothing happened between us. But if that's how you want it, fine.
p.s. you know those times when you know exactly what you're going to say, but when you get to the situation, your words disappear? this is an ode to that feeling. get it all out there.
I see a common pattern here.
You need to find a man who treats you like you're his world. You'll find him someday :) You're already my whole world.
