Citation70 U.S. 564
Brief Fact Summary. The Petitioner, Ms. Anderson (Petitioner), sued the Respondent, Bessemer City (Respondent), alleging discriminatory intent, after it failed to hire her for the position of Recreation Director.
Synopsis of Rule of Law. Findings of fact shall not be set aside unless clearly erroneous and due regard shall be given to the opportunity of the trial court to judge the credibility of the witnesses, such that when there are two permissible views of the evidence, the factfinder's choice between them cannot be clearly erroneous.
Facts. The Respondent sought a new Recreation Director. The Petitioner was the only woman to apply for the job. A five-member committee interviewed the eight applicants and chose a male. The Plaintiff sued under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (the Act) alleging discriminatory intent. After a 2-day trial, during which the court heard testimony from the Petitioner, Mr. Kincaid, the successful applicant and the five members of the selection committee, the court issued a brief memorandum of decision setting forth its finding that Petitioner had been denied the position on account of her sex. The Court of Appeals for The Fourth Circuit reversed, holding that the district court's crucial findings were clearly erroneous. The Supreme Court of the United States (Supreme Court) granted certiorari.
Issue. What is the appropriate standard of review of a trial court's findings of facts.
Held. The Supreme Court reversed because it was convinced that the Fourth Circuit misapprehended and misapplied the clearly erroneous standard. A district court's finding of discriminatory intent in an action brought under the Act may be overturned on appeal only if it is clearly erroneous. Because a finding of intentional discrimination is a finding of fact, the standard governing appellate review is that set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 52(a), stating that "findings of fact shall not be set aside unless clearly erroneous, and due regard shall be given to the opportunity of the trial court to judge the credibility of the witnesses. A finding is clearly erroneous when although there is evidence to support it, the reviewing court on the entire evidence is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed." When there are two permissible views of the evidence, the factfinder's choice between them cannot be clearly erroneous. This is so even when the district court's findings do not rest on credibility determinations, but are based instead on physical or documentary evidence or inferences from other facts.
Dissent. Justice Harry A. Blackmun (J. Blackmun) dissented. His dissent is omitted by the casebook. Concurrence. Justice Lewis F. Powell (J. Powell) concurred. His concurrence is omitted by the casebook.
Discussion. One way students should understand this case is to realize that even if a final decision of a lower court is flawed, the error must fall into a specific category for an appellate court to disturb the judgment. Here, the Supreme Court seems to be relying on the belief that the trial judge is more likely than an appellate court to be correct in his judgment about which witnesses are telling the tru

We expect six key trends to inform financial institutions' climate strategy design, implementation, and reporting this year.
January 19, 2023 rmi.org
By Elizabeth Harnett, Ella Warshauer
The 2020s have been termed the "decisive decade" for climate change. As we enter the fourth year, what should the climate finance space focus on in 2023?
At the Center for Climate-Aligned Finance (CCAF), we expect six key trends to inform financial institutions' (FIs') climate strategy design, implementation, and reporting this year.
1. The Rise of Transition Plans
Last year marked a move from long-term to short-term target setting. Of the 30 largest banks in the United States, Canada, and Europe, 26 have now published2030 emissions reductions targets. The question remaining is: what strategies will these firms follow to achieve their goals?
Recent guidance from GFANZ defines a net-zero transition plan as a "set of goals, actions, and accountability mechanisms to align an organization's business activities with a pathway to net-zero." We expect that many firms will publish transition plans in 2023, and that this will become a baseline for credible climate planning and reporting for both corporations and financial institutions.
In CCAF's latest insight brief, we proposed a "portfolio-led approach" to strategy design (including transition plans), implementation, and reporting using a four-part framework to assess where — through sectors and geographies — and how — through asset classes and business units — banks can best support the real-economy net-zero transition.
2. Where "Woke" Meets Fiduciary Duty: The Debated Future of ESG
The past year saw an unprecedented backlash against ESG (environmental, social and governance) investing. This is unlikely to change in 2023, with Republican lawmakers in the United States threatening legislation and penalties for investment firms that incorporate ESG factors, including policies on climate change. While critics decry ESG as "woke capitalism," businesses and investors increasingly recognize that climate change is having — and will continue to have — material financial implications. FIs will need to move past the political bluster and firmly demonstrate how ESG and climate-related efforts are vital to prudent investment risk and return decisions.
3. Shifting the Energy Balance: Renewables Grow as Fossil Fuels Plateau
Even with uncertainty across the global macroeconomic environment, the narrative that clean technology is good for the economy rather than costly turned mainstream in 2022. The US renewable energy sector is expected to continue growing in 2023, in part due to incentives included in the Inflation Reduction Act. Elsewhere, Indonesia committed to wean itself off fossil fuels and speed its transition to renewables with $20 billion in financing, and H2 Green Steel closed €260 million in equity financing to start building the world's first large-scale green steel plant. Although deal pace slowed slightly in early stage venture capital last year, investors believe that climate tech is more insulated from market slowdowns than other sectors, and is expected to attract investment through economic uncertainty.
Beyond noteworthy deals, the total amount of capital deployed toward climate finance also continues to increase. Bloomberg noted that 2022 saw the "best-ever first half for renewables investment," with an estimated $226 billion deployed into new renewable energy. We've also seen global demand for fossil fuels plateau. As a result, capital re-allocation toward renewables is likely to continue and accelerate in 2023.
4. Climate Learning Curve: Accelerating the Talent Transition
As FIs expand their climate products and services, they are hiring climate scientists and other experts to join their sustainability teams. However, sustainability knowledge cannot remain siloed in sustainability teams if firms are to take a holistic, portfolio-led approach to the design, implementation, and reporting on net-zero activities across sectors, geographies, asset classes, and business units. In 2023, we therefore expect to see efforts to upskill existing front-office employees. This could include promotion of external certification or in-house training. NatWest was ahead of the curve in April 2022 when it announced a £1.5 million, three-year deal with the University of Edinburgh to deliver climate education to 16,000 employees.
5. All Eyes on Greenwashing
New and refined standards and regulation, as well as client scrutiny, will raise expectations on fund-labeling, disclosure, and climate-related risk management practices in 2023.
Mislabeling funds as ESG now has serious consequences, with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) suing financial institutions, including BNY Mellon for $1.5 million, on related issues. This year will see a further tightening of the rules. For example, the Financial Conduct Authority has proposed a package of new measures including investment product sustainability labels and restrictions on how terms like ESG, green, or sustainable can be used, with final rules due by mid 2023. The SEC has consulted on similar regulation, the Fund Names Rule, that would require ESG-labeled funds to have exposures of at least 80 percent to ESG assets.
Climate and ESG-related disclosure will also see new rules and standards come into play. The SEC is expected to finalize its climate disclosure ruling in 2023, and voluntary standards will further be bolstered by the expected publication of the International Sustainability Standards Board guidance.
We will also likely see further integration of climate risk in the global financial system as international and domestic regulators continue to hone climate risk management principles and best practices that entities such as the Basel Committee, the FDIC, and the OCC published in 2022.
6. From Financed Emissions to Transition-Relevant Data
Consideration of climate risk and net-zero transition has accelerated in the past few years, but financial decisions are still largely driven by business-as-usual incentives and backward-looking data and models. As FIs move from net-zero strategy design to implementation in 2023, firms will need to look beyond setting financed emissions baselines and targets to intentionally steering portfolios in line with climate goals by supporting the transition of high-emitting companies and financing climate solutions. Identifying, accessing, and using transition-relevant data could help close this gap by directing financial flows toward the areas of the economy that need the most support to mobilize and accelerate transition solutions.
One example is the standardized data inputs and methodology agreed on as part of the Sustainable STEEL Principles (SSP), a climate-aligned finance (CAF) agreement for the steel industry. Under the SSP, participating banks assess and disclose the climate alignment of their steel portfolio via a climate alignment score for each steel producer. The methodology weighs emissions based on the company's metallic input mix and applies a fixed boundary for emissions accounting, ensuring accuracy and comparability across both primary and secondary steel production. CCAF is developing other sector-specific methodologies to efficiently use transition-relevant data in other hard-to-abate sectors. We expect to launch an aviation CAF agreement in 2023.
What's Ahead: Keep Calm and Carry On (to 1.5°C)
FIs — particularly in the United States — will likely have to navigate some political and economic headwinds this year. Nevertheless, they must finalize their strategy design and transition planning, scale their net-zero-aligned implementation, and enhance their climate-related reporting — or face harsher regulatory and reputational penalties for failing to do so.

Chief Steve Anderson's final day with MNPD moved to Thursday from October
The mayor said Chief Anderson, who served in the position for 10 years, is moving up his final day with the department to Thursday from October, which was previously announced.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Nashville Police Department Chief Steve Anderson will serve his last day with the department on August 6, Mayor John Cooper said.
"I'm grateful to Chief Anderson for his 45 years of service in the Metro Nashville Police Department. He is a dedicated public servant with an unwavering sense of civic duty," Mayor Cooper said.
Deputy Chief John Drake will assume command of the department beginning Friday until a new chief of police is named.
In July, the mayor's office announced a "roadmap" for a nationwide search for Chief Anderson's replacement, which includes community input through HubNashville. The job will be posted from mid-August to mid-September, then candidates will meet with a review committee to narrow down the top finalists for interviews.
The finalists will visit Nashville in October to meet with Mayor Cooper and an interview panel. The mayor's office said a new police chief will be named following those visits.
Mayor Cooper did not say why Chief Anderson's last day was moved up.


I'm very excited to be taking part of the inaugural Aussie YA Bloggers Secret Santa, which includes this blog hop! The questions below are to find out if I have been a good or a bad blogger this year and to help the santas and santees to get to know each other! There are also a few clues at the end for the person I have bought for – your gift is not yet on its way, I'm sorry, but it will be soon!
I'm nearly finished! I have read 129 out of 130 books and am 8 books ahead of schedule. I am on track to finish very soon (like within the next day or two) and surpass my challenge!
It varied week to week, sometimes I would post as much as five times and sometimes only two or three. I'm not sure whether I'll post more or less but I'd like to post more to a schedule, which does require having a schedule in the first place (which I do not).
Mine is 69.2% which is pretty good, only because I've been really careful about not going crazy with my requesting, although I have missed the archive dates for a couple (whoops!).
Not recently I go through some stages where I am really good and keep on top of it but lately I haven't been very good due to starting a new job and busy life stuff. I have every intention of improving! Looking forward to a more interactive 2015.
5. Did you read mostly review or non-review books this year?
A good mix of both, I think. I buy a lot of books so I try to get through them while staying on top of the review copies. There's so many to read, both new and old!
Well there are some exciting things planned for next year at Crash My Book Party that everyone will be hearing about very soon! I would love to expand the blog's presence in the blogging/book community and continue to enjoy it, interacting with bookish people and reading great books!
I've enjoyed the whole experience – I only began blogging this year and I have loved every minute of it. It was crazy to watch my follower and view count start to rise and every comment makes me happy and proud! I have been able to be part of some great events that I wouldn't have known about before, built relationships with fantastic publishers who love books as much as I do and have met a whole new community of people. It has all been a blast!
Based on your answers above, do you think you've been a good or bad blogger this year?
I think I have been a good blogger this year!
3. The header of your blog includes fantastical things – fairies and dragons and trees (I love trees)!
Brit has read 116 books toward her goal of 130 books.

Dr. Craig Blomberg Reviews The Passion Translation Book of 1 Corinthians
Open description for time stamps. I've hired a number of scholars to review Brian Simmons' seriously flawed Bible version. This is my "Passion Project". Today's video features Dr. Craig Blomberg and his thoughts after reviewing the book of 1 Corinthians in The Passion Translation. Scroll down for links to Dr. Blomberg's paper. This same link will have ALL the reviews and papers as they are published. You should see a total of 5 uploaded by the beginning of January. After that I will need to wait a while for more scholars to finish their papers and do interviews. I hope to have it all done in the next few months. What's was my goal with this? I want the people of Christ to know the truth about this "translation" so that they can love what God has said without Brian Simmons altering it in unjustified ways. However, in the course of researching for this project I've uncovered some other very concerning things about Brian Simmons' teachings including false prophecy and various extreme claims regarding his own spiritual experiences. I'll be sharing some of this in future videos as well since I have realized that he is not just styling himself as a Bible translator but as an inspired Bible interpreter who is going to release a last days transformation in the people of God so that "everything that can be said about Jesus can be said about you". Yeah, it's weird. LINK to all interviews AND papers as they are uploaded. https://biblethinker.org/index.php/the-passion-translation Dr. Blomberg's book – Can We Trust The Bible? https://www.amazon.com/Can-Still-Believe-Bible-Contemporary/dp/1587433214 For even MORE content on TPT here is a playlist of my own research into this translation. I think it's even worse than many of the scholars have said, but that's not because of a failure on their part. They restricted themselves to reviewing the translation text of a single book each, and only glancing at the footnotes, whereas I looked at the work as a whole and found various other issues of concern including misleading statements from Brian about his own experience as a translator for the Paya Kuna Bible, his degree of education and even stunningly false prophecies he has given. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHvXha4rjCj1Po0WLQc_jGGW My website https://BibleThinker.org *These timestamps will work after the video has premiered. 0:00 Intro 0:17 Why this video is important: Brian Simmons wild claims. 1:55 What my Passion Project is. 2:35 Who is Dr. Blomberg and why is he reviewing TPT? 4:52 Dr. Blomberg's attitude toward paraphrases. 6:41 Dr. Blomberg is not driven by bias against TPT but by credible concerns. 7:51 Is TPT misleading people when it calls itself a "translation"? 9:27 A great example of why TPT isn't a translation. 10:07 The "glaring, recurring error" in TPT's footnotes (the "Aramaic"). 12:38 This is REALLY bad. Brian Simmons is deceiving people about what "all the scholars" think. 17:37 Simmons' knowingly misuses Mike Bird's scholarship even after Dr. Bird rebuked the misuse. 19:42 Brian Simmons claims that his FOOTNOTES in TPT are the result of God's inspiration. 23:50 Why we should reject Simmons' claims. 24:53 Why the "lack of italics" in TPT is deceiving people. 27:29 1 Cor 1 vv. 11-12 that show TPT is inconsistent with italics. 30:38 How Simmons messes up the "gender role" passage in 1 Corinthians. 35:07 Simmons has an axe to grind on the topic of women which he seems to be wrongly forcing into his translation of the Bible. 38:48 The one place where Simmons translation seems complementarian. 43:26 What attracts people to The Passion Translation? 45:03 Examples of Simmons adding "passion" to the Bible where he shouldn't. 46:08 TPT is named after and angel that Brian saw, according to Brian Simmons. 46:38 How Brian represents TPT as if it's a quality work without bias. 47:42 But Brian sometimes admits his translation is very much a sectarian work. 52:03 Simmons "reverses Paul's meaning" in 1 Cor 10 v. 13. 56:05 TPT perpetuates a "long standing mistranslation" in 1 Cor 11. 1:01:11 Dr. Blomberg thinks TPT can cause a doctrinal problem with the Trinity. 1:04:11 An example of hyper-charismatic alterations in TPT. 1:10:35 TPT once again mishandles a passage related to slaves. 1:13:39 Quick recap of other places TPT does this. 1:14:32 1 Cor 7 v. 36 is "particularly confused." 1:17:18 The best parts of TPT are also the worst parts. 1:18:11 1 Cor 13 shows us TPT's style. 1:21:21 Don't use TPT as a serious Bible. 1:22:13 Dr. Blomberg responds to Bill Johnson's quote. 1:23:33 TPT distorts the meaning of the Bible? 1:24:19 Misleading claims from TPT web site. 1:25:23 Should TPT be in apps and sites? 1:27:21 Did Brian really get secrets from God? 1:29:15 Brian's abuse of homonyms in the name of God. 1:33:29 Dr. Blomberg's advice to someone who loves TPT. 1:34:34 A Surgeon General's warning. 1:36:02 Can We Still Believe The Bible? 1:37:40 Last things. 1:39:56 "Cameo" from Brian.

ESV: Through the Bible in a Year
January 18: Genesis 32–33; Psalm 18:1–24; Matthew 21
Old Testament: Genesis 32–33 Genesis 32–33 (Listen) Jacob Fears Esau *32 *Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. *2 *And when Jacob saw them he said, "This is God's camp!" So he called the name of that place Mahanaim.1 *3 *And Jacob sent2 messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of Seir, the country of Edom, *4 *instructing them, "Thus you shall say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob, 'I have sojourned with Laban and stayed until now. *5 *I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, in order that I may find favor in your sight.'" *6 *And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau, and he is coming to meet you, and there are four hundred men with him." *7 *Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two camps, *8 *thinking, "If Esau comes to the one camp and attacks it, then the camp that is left will escape." *9 *And Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O LORD who said to me, 'Return to your country and to your kindred, that I may do you good,' *10 *I am not worthy of the least of all the deeds of steadfast love and all the faithfulness that you have shown to your servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps. *11 *Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, that he may come and attack me, the mothers with the children. *12 *But you said, 'I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.'" *13 *So he stayed there that night, and from what he had with him he took a present for his brother Esau, *14 *two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, *15 *thirty milking camels and their calves, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys. *16 *These he handed over to his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass on ahead of me and put a space between drove and drove." *17 *He instructed the first, "When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, 'To whom do you belong? Where are you going? And whose are these ahead of you?' *18 *then you shall say, 'They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a present sent to my lord Esau. And moreover, he is behind us.'" *19 *He likewise instructed the second and the third and all who followed the droves, "You shall say the same thing to Esau when you find him, *20 *and you shall say, 'Moreover, your servant Jacob is behind us.'" For he thought, "I may appease him3 with the present that goes ahead of me, and afterward I shall see his face. Perhaps he will accept me."4 *21 *So the present passed on ahead of him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp. Jacob Wrestles with God *22 *The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children,5 and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. *23 *He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had. *24 *And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. *25 *When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. *26 *Then he said, "Let me go, for the day has broken." But Jacob said, "I will not let you go unless you bless me." *27 *And he said to him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Jacob." *28 *Then he said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel,6 for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed." *29 *Then Jacob asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask my name?" And there he blessed him. *30 *So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel,7 saying, "For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered." *31 *The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip. *32 *Therefore to this day the people of Israel do not eat the sinew of the thigh that is on the hip socket, because he touched the socket of Jacob's hip on the sinew of the thigh. Jacob Meets Esau *33 *And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two female servants. *2 *And he put the servants with their children in front, then Leah with her children, and Rachel and Joseph last of all. *3 *He himself went on before them, bowing himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. *4 *But Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. *5 *And when Esau lifted up his eyes and saw the women and children, he said, "Who are these with you?" Jacob said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant." *6 *Then the servants drew near, they and their children, and bowed down. *7 *Leah likewise and her children drew near and bowed down. And last Joseph and Rachel drew near, and they bowed down. *8 *Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company8 that I met?" Jacob answered, "To find favor in the sight of my lord." *9 *But Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself." *10 *Jacob said, "No, please, if I have found favor in your sight, then accept my present from my hand. For I have seen your face, which is like seeing the face of God, and you have accepted me. *11 *Please accept my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." Thus he urged him, and he took it. *12 *Then Esau said, "Let us journey on our way, and I will go ahead of9 you." *13 *But Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are frail, and that the nursing flocks and herds are a care to me. If they are driven hard for one day, all the flocks will die. *14 *Let my lord pass on ahead of his servant, and I will lead on slowly, at the pace of the livestock that are ahead of me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir." *15 *So Esau said, "Let me leave with you some of the people who are with me." But he said, "What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord." *16 *So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir. *17 *But Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built himself a house and made booths for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.10 *18 *And Jacob came safely11 to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, on his way from Paddan-aram, and he camped before the city. *19 *And from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, he bought for a hundred pieces of money12 the piece of land on which he had pitched his tent. *20 *There he erected an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.13 Footnotes [1] 32:2 _Mahanaim_ means _two camps_ [2] 32:3 Or _had sent_ [3] 32:20 Hebrew _appease his face_ [4] 32:20 Hebrew _he will lift my face_ [5] 32:22 Or _sons_ [6] 32:28 _Israel_ means _He strives with God_, or _God strives_ [7] 32:30 _Peniel_ means _the face of God_ [8] 33:8 Hebrew _camp_ [9] 33:12 Or _along with_ [10] 33:17 _Succoth_ means _booths_ [11] 33:18 Or _peacefully_ [12] 33:19 Hebrew _a hundred qesitah_; a unit of money of unknown value [13] 33:20 _El-Elohe-Israel_ means _God, the God of Israel_ (ESV) Psalm: Psalm 18:1–24 Psalm 18:1–24 (Listen) The Lord Is My Rock and My Fortress To the choirmaster.

Compassion Without Compromise: Episode 676
Caring without compromising your values, plus (kinda) natural ways to share your faith, and should you date someone who's not your type? Featured musical artist: Liz Vice Roundtable: Care, But Don't Cave Your friend doesn't share the same values as you. You want to be nice, but when he or she does something you don't agree with, how should you respond? Should you tell them exactly what you think of their bad behavior? Brush it off? Wait and see? Our guests discuss what it looks like to be respectful toward people we disagree with, and how to love others without stonewalling, enabling, or compromising your faith. Guests: Sara Bess Kemeny, Austin Johnson, Glenn Stanton Culture: The Long Game of Sharing the Gospel Let's face it: Sharing your faith with others is hard. We all know someone we'd love to see come to Christ, but the question remains: How do I talk with him or her about spiritual things? Randy Newman is a firm believer that evangelism looks more like a gradual process than just one conversation. Before becoming a Christian in college, he spent years interacting with believers and learning from them. Whether you find sharing the gospel scary or not, this conversation will encourage you. Inbox: Dating Outside Your Type Is dating someone who's not your type a valuable exercise or a waste of time? Is there a way to broaden who you find attractive? Lisa Anderson weighs in.

As a Christian, you've been called to wait. Theologians like to say, "between the already and the not yet."

The Voice of the Martyrs
In The Presence of My Enemies
Martin and Gracia Burnham were serving as missionaries in the Philippines, where Martin was a pilot with New Tribes Mission (now called Ethnos 360). The Burnhams went away for a few days to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Those few days turned into more than a year in the jungle when they were kidnapped and held hostage by radical Muslim terrorists. Listen this week as Gracia tells how she wrestled with God and even with her own faith during those dark days of captivity. She'll also share how she experienced the prayers of God's people, even as Martin was killed during a rescue attempt. Gracia says at times in the jungle she couldn't allow herself to even think about her three children because it was just to difficult. Yet now she knows the full story of God's faithfulness to them. She will also give an update on how God continues to work in the hearts of the terrorists that held them hostage. Gracia's story will inspire you to find ways to glorify God, regardless of what challenges you may be facing. You can read the whole story in her book, In the Presence of My Enemies (affiliate link).

Marty Solomon and Brent Billings bring the story to our current day, seeing what this last century has done to the world of faith that we call our own. What is Christian fundamentalism and where did it come from? And how does evangelicalism fit into all of this?

New York-based home health care company Visiting Nurse Service of New York and its subsidiaries VNS Choice and VNS Choice Community Care agreed to pay roughly $4.4 million to settle charges of violating the False Claims Act by improperly collecting monthly Medicaid payments for 365 Medicaid beneficiaries whom VNS Choice failed to timely disenroll from the VNS Choice Managed Long-Term Care Plan. Once VNS disenrolled the members, it did not repay Medicaid for the funds it had improperly received. By knowingly retaining overpayments for many of these members for more than 60 days, the VNS entities violated both the federal and state false claim acts. As a result, New York State will receive $2.63 million as part of the settlement agreement.The allegations originated in a whistleblower lawsuit filed under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act by an undisclosed whistleblower. The whistleblower will receive an undisclosed whistleblower award from the proceeds of the government's recovery. DOJ (SDNY) NY

In the Paris Education Center, we have regular programs, cultural, spiritual, and Divine Principle lectures. We have many guests coming, some attending since longtime. So, we decided to organize this summer a 7 days workshop to really push these guests further in understanding True Parents and renew the faith of older brothers and sisters.
And we decided to have a one-day workshop each month, in May and June, in preparation for that. Our one day workshop on May 26, 2018 was the first one. There will be another one the 30th of June. This time we had two lecturers, Didier Guignard and Claudine Decamps and we had 18 participnts. And as we focused the day on one chapter of the Principle, we could go deeper in it and there was time for questions and discussions; it was inspiring for all.
We still must do better, but that is an advance to build upon.

"That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest."
(Louise Jones' favorite quote from Thoreau)
Louise Jones (Melanson Award Winner, 2003)
Louise earned a degree in anthropology from the University of Saskatchewan, followed by ethnographic fieldwork with Northern Cree people in Northern Manitoba. This and other travels and work in the North has given her a life-long love of the Canadian North, which she revisits annually with a group of friends during regular canoe trips on Saskatchewan's many challenging northern lakes. In addition to working both as a volunteer and professional in environmental education, Louise's varied experience includes work in curriculum development, consumer affairs and human rights.
Louise's interests also include travel, photography, canoeing, hiking and riding. Horses and dogs have been a part of her family since childhood. With husband Tim she has two children, Neil and Laura.
In 2002, Louise retired after twelve years as Project Leader at Brightwater Science and Environmental Centre, Saskatoon Public Board of Education, where she established program content and contracts, managed the pre-field trip preparations for school groups, guided teachers and program leaders in project leadership, worked on site restoration and served as goodwill ambassador for the Centre. She also worked as a contract consultant in education, environment and heritage.
Louise accepted the Melanson Award at the CANSCAIP/SOEEA Prairie Horizons Conference at St. Michael's Retreat Centre in Lumsden.
Her personal philosophy exemplifies one of her favorite quotes from Thoreau: "That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest."
Louise Jones Melanson Award Citation, SOEEA, 2003.


East meets west when a high-principled Boston socialite teams up with a revenge driven bounty hunter to catch a gang of outlaws in the wilds of Nevada.
It's tough being a witness when the last one turned up dead. But Christie Wallace is determined to bring the Everett gang to justice. Unfortunately, the law can't protect her from pistol-toting outlaws or the intoxicating lure of a dangerous man. But, after escaping the suffocating prospects of an arranged marriage, she has no intention of allowing her heart to rule her head, even when temptation comes in the form of an incorrigible lawman named Nat Randall.
Dead or alive—it made no difference to Nat Randall. He'd tried to bring the Everett gang to trial once before, but the law let him down. It seems frontier justice is all he has left. But he didn't count on protecting a bewitching Easterner whose courageous spirit challenges him as much as her beauty distracts. It's not long before he's torn between pursuing her or the outlaws.
A timeless, rollicking adventure of unlikely lovers, set in the Wild West.
