Read the transcript:
TOM LAMPRECHT: Harry, "Evangelical Focus" is reporting on a new religion to worship artificial intelligence. Former Google and Uber engineer, Anthony Levandowski, founded the "Way of the Future," which aims to create a deity based on artificial intelligence for the betterment of society. Levandowski filed paperwork in 2015 to establish "Way of the Future," dedicated to worshipping artificial intelligence.
DR. REEDER: A lot of our fellow believers out there are saying, "Now, why are you all taking time on this program to talk about something so: 1.), infantile, 2.), insidious as this notion of a religion, whereby, artificial intelligence is now going to be worshipped by the people who have encoded the artificial intelligence so that it is accessible by technology?"
In the Old Testament, we are informed of the reality of idolatry. Idolatry is anything that you worship in front of, beside of, or above the God of Glory.
There are a lot of things I love, and appreciate, and, to some degree, adore and have my allegiance to, but it's always under the Lordship of Christ and, if I can't do it under the Lordship of Christ, then I don't do it.
The word "idolatry" comes from the word "latria," which means "to worship." Idolatry is wrong worship, or misguided worship, or blasphemous worship. What we want to give to the Lord is latria. Latria is the worship of the Triune God of Glory.
However, here's a fact – please jot it down from a Christian world and life view – that people are going to worship. Now, there are some people out there that look at what we're just talking about today and saying, "How ridiculous is that?" Yet, if you look at their life carefully – their time, their talents, their treasure, their adoration, their allegiance, their conversation – they will reveal what, in their heart, they worship.
The other day, I flew to New Jersey and, as I try to be frugal, I got one of the cheap seats that they offer, which meant I was going to get a seat in between two people. I walked in and looked and saw that two of the largest human beings I've ever seen in my life were in those seats – one on the aisle and one next to the window.
Both of these guys were so big and one of the reasons is, by the way, they were both ex-football players. And we were on that flight and, from the moment we took off to the moment we landed, I heard about almost every college football game, its schedule, who was rated, the recruiting classes, who was doing what, the Heisman trophy – I've never heard such knowledgeable people in my life.
Well, you don't get that information just by walking by a newsstand. These were guys that were utterly devoted. Do you remember the Bible says that the 3,000 were converted at Jerusalem and then it says they intentionally devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching? Why? Because they loved Jesus and they worshipped the God of Glory.
These guys had intentionally devoted themselves to what they worshipped, which was college football, and there was no doubt in my mind what consumed their life, their adulation, their adoration, their allegiance, their affection and, I'm sure, a lot of their resources.
People are going to worship. They're going to worship something. In the Old Testament, it speaks of idolatry and Isaiah says isn't it amazing: Here's a piece of wood and you cut it in half, you use part of it to warm yourself, part of it to cook your food and, the other one, you set it up, and carve it and you worship it?
How stupid is that? Why do men and women love idolatry? Because, if I make the idol I worship, then who really am I worshipping? Me, the creator of the idol. That's why we say no to the God who created us and we deny the doctrine of creation and we deny all that God has put in creation like marriage, and gender, and sex.
We're going to worship, but what we want to do is worship false worship because to do false worship, you have to engage in idolatry and, whatever idol I make, now, ultimately, I'm worshipping myself because I am the idol maker.
Thus, the guy that invented the artificial intelligence and the technology to deliver it is now saying, "Let's worship it." Do you know why? He wants you to worship the artificial intelligence for the same reason he worships the artificial intelligence. Ultimately, you're worshipping the one who put the intelligence into the technology. It is the exaltation of self.
That's why we say constantly on this program that there are multiple world views and -isms out there – positivism, scientism, consumerism, materialism, humanism, secularism – but, in reality, they all fall under one category: the sovereign self as opposed to a world and life view affirming a sovereign, and true and living God.
The sovereign God or the sovereign self: The sovereign self gives you a whole menu of choices, while the sovereign God says, "Oh, no, your world and life view is focused upon the Triune God of Glory, it is defined by the Word of God, it is to the glory of the Father, it is secured through the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and it is empowered by the Spirit of God when he indwells you."
This is why Paul says, in Romans 12, "Do not be conformed to this world," – this world and life view – "but be transformed." How? "By the renewing of your mind so that you may prove that which is good, and acceptable and perfect."
My dear brothers and sisters, when you come to Christ, you get a new heart, you get a new record, you get a new family, you get a new life and you get a new home. However, let me tell you don't get: you don't get a new mind, but you do have the Word of God and the Spirit of God and you can renew your mind and that will show up in worship – Lord's Day worship and lifestyle worship.
It will show up in worship and, therefore, we say no to idolatria and yes to the latria of the God of Glory and the way we do it is by having God give us the Mind of Christ, by the Spirit of God, through the Word of God.
You either worship the God who has revealed Himself, or you invent a God that you can worship so that you can worship yourself, the inventor.
TOM LAMPRECHT: Harry, for the Christian, I guess the silver lining might be that we can point to this story and perhaps, on the surface, it looks silly, but we can point to the fact that there is a part of us that God created that longs for worship.
DR. REEDER: Yeah, you were made for a relationship with God and that relationship is a relationship of worship: gathered worship with His people and lifestyle worship, whereby, you present your bodies as a living sacrifice. "Whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, you do all to the glory of God."
Yes, this story is so silly when we talked about doing it and I wanted to do it because it is no sillier than the silliness of the Old Testament when it talks about taking a piece of wood, cooking, and building the house and everything with it and then setting up the other half of the stump to worship.
What he's doing is no sillier than to make football your god, to make sports your god, to make your grades in school your god or to make your athletic achievements your god. All the gods fail you. Sports are wonderful, but sports are a terrible god.
"Therefore, you cannot serve two masters; you'll either love one or hate the other," so the only Master we have is Jesus Christ and the only worship we want to give is to the Lord of Glory.
Artificial intelligence? That's great but, by the way, it's artificial and it's only so good as what you put into it. The technology that delivers it, it's all moral and it's useful but, once you turn it into your object of worship, you've just engaged in blasphemy.
And the God of Glory, who alone should be worshipped, is a jealous God and, therefore, our idols will soon fall and, when they fall, they will consume the idolater.
However, the Lord of Glory is forever, so come to Him and know the joy of living with Him through Christ, who loved you and gave Himself for you on the cross. He's risen and is worthy of our praise.

Mom Turns Princesses Into 'Super Strong' Role Models In Coloring Book (Photos)
by Gillian Fuller
Stocksy
Little girls only have a few good role models to look up to, aside from their mothers.
Fairytale princess stories, damsels in distress, big-chested Barbie dolls and cartoons that portray women as lesser than men constantly surround them.
Cartoonist and mother Linnéa Johansson aims to change that.
The artist recently created a badass coloring book called "Super Strong Princess." The images depict Disney princesses (and other popular female characters) as strong, independent and self-sufficient women.
Johansson was inspired to make the coloring book when she shared a cartoon she drew of a princess switching outfits with a superhero to a group of 5-year-olds. She wanted to convey the harmful nature of gender stereotypes, but the children were already conditioned to think otherwise.
Johansson admits,
It broke my heart to hear that at a such young age, they think that a girl is defined by her beauty, a boy is defined by his strength and that a boy wearing a dress is somehow humiliating.
In the coloring book, characters including Snow White and Elsa are portrayed as scientists, athletes and decision makers -- roles associated with strength.
But, the book isn't just for girls.
She says,
I think it is a common mistake that we make as adults to think that a child should just identify with a role model of the same gender. I want to teach my sons that they can look up to anyone… I want them to learn to respect a woman and not see her as their property, or as someone that should please him and be pretty.
The full coloring book is available for (free!) download on Johansson's website, but you can check out a few of her powerful cartoons below.
Lesson: You don't need a man to "save you."
Lesson: You can be anything you want to be.
Lesson: You don't have to adhere to society's beauty standards.
Lesson: You're free to be whoever you want to be.
Lesson: Being strong doesn't make you evil.
Lesson: GIRLS POOP, TOO.
Lesson: Women can play sports (and kick ass).
Lesson: Being smart is more important than being beautiful.
Lesson: Your voice deserves to be heard.
Lesson: If it hurts, don't wear it.

Q: SwiftUI View not updating on async change to published properties of Observed Object I have the following SwiftUI View:
struct ProductView: View {
@ObservedObject var productViewModel: ProductViewModel

var body: some View {
    VStack {
        ZStack(alignment: .top) {
            if(self.productViewModel.product != nil) {
                URLImage(url: self.productViewModel.product!.imageurl, itemColor: self.productViewModel.selectedColor)
            }
            else {
                Image("loading")
            }
        }
    }
}

that observes a ProductViewModel
class ProductViewModel: ObservableObject {

@Published var selectedColor: UIColor = .white

@Published var product: Product?

private var cancellable: AnyCancellable!

init(productFuture: Future<Product, Never>) {

    self.cancellable = productFuture.sink(receiveCompletion: { comp in
            print(comp)
        }, receiveValue: { product in

            self.product = product
            print(self.product)  // this prints the expected product. The network call works just fine

        })

}

The Product is a Swift struct that contains several string properties:
struct Product {
    let id: String
    let imageurl: String
    let price: String

}

It is fetched from a remote API. The service that does the fetching returns a Combine future and passes it to the view model like so:
let productFuture = retrieveProduct(productID: "1")
let productVM = ProductViewModel(productFuture: productFuture)
let productView = ProductView(productViewModel: productViewModel)

func retrieveProduct(productID: String) -> Future<Product, Never>{

    let future = Future<Product, Never> { promise in

    //  networking logic that fetches the remote product,  once it finishes the success callback is invoked

        promise(.success(product))
    }

    return future
}

For the sake of brevity, I've excluded the networking and error handling logic since it is irrelevant for the case at hand. To reproduce this as quickly as possible, just initialize a mock product with some dummy values and pass it to the success callback with a delay like this:
let mockproduct = Product(id: "1", imageurl: "https://exampleurl.com", price: "$10")

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 2.0, execute: {
    promise(.success(mockproduct))
})

Once the product arrives over the network, it is assigned to the published product property.
The fetching works and the correct value is assigned to the published property. Obviously this happens after the view has been created since the network call takes some time. However, the View never updates even though the published object is changed.
When I pass the product directly through the View Model initializer rather than the future, it works as expected and the view displays the correct product.
Any suggestions on why the view does not react to changes in the state of the view model when it is updated asynchronously through the combine future?
EDIT: When I asked this question I had the ProductViewModel + ProductView nested inside another view. So basically the productview was only a part of a larger CategoryView. The CategoryViewmodel initialized both the ProductViewModel and the ProductView in a dedicated method:
func createProductView() -> AnyView {
    let productVM = productViewModels[productIndex]
    return AnyView(ProductView(productViewModel: productVM))
}

which was then called by the CategoryView on every update. I guess this got the Published variables in the nested ProductViewModel to not update correctly because the view hierarchy from CategoryView downwards got rebuilt on every update. Accordingly, the method createProductView got invoked on every new update, resulting in a completely new initialization of the ProductView + ProductViewModel.
Maybe someone with more experience with SwiftUI can comment on this.
Is it generally a bad idea to have nested observable objects in nested views or is there a way to make this work that is not an antipattern?
If not, how do you usually solve this problem when you have nested views that each have their own states?

A: I have been iterating on patterns like this to find what I think works best. Not sure what the problem is exactly. My intuition suggests that SwiftUI is having trouble making updates on the != nil part.
Here is the pattern that I have been using which has been working.

*

*Define an enum for states in your networking logic

public enum NetworkingModelViewState {
    case loading
    case hasData
    case noResults
    case error
}

*Add the enumeration as a variable on your "View Model"

class ProductViewModel: ObservableObject {

    @Published public var state: NetworkingModelViewState = .loading

}

*Update the state as you progress through your networking

    self.cancellable = productFuture.sink(receiveCompletion: { comp in
            print(comp)
        }, receiveValue: { product in

            self.product = product
            self.state = NetworkingModelViewState.hasData
            print(self.product)  // this prints the expected product. The network call works just fine

        })

*Now make a decision in your SwiftUI based on the Enum value

            if(self.productViewModel.state == NetworkingModelViewState.hasData) {
                URLImage(url: self.productViewModel.product!.imageurl, itemColor: self.productViewModel.selectedColor)
            }
            else {
                Image("loading")
            }

Musings ~ It's hard to debug declarative frameworks. They are powerful and we should keep learning them but be aware of getting stuck. Moving too SwiftUI has forced me to really think about MVVM. My takeaway is that you really need to separate out every possible variable that controls your UI. You should not rely on checks outside of reading a variable. The Combine future pattern has a memory leak that Apple will fix next release. Also, you will be able to switch inside SwiftUI next release.

Civic education rests on the idea that citizens should comprehend the critical political choices of their society and actively shape them in a rational manner. Many objectives of the European Union and its national authorities would be only achieved on paper if its people do not share them in practice. Europa United contributor Yannis Karamitsios addresses this is issue here and asks if there is a new way of thinking for what could be a very important aspect of the future of democracy.
Is the European public ready to support the idea of a liberal, cosmopolitan and federal Europe, contrary to the narrative of xenophobic, illiberal, racist, protectionist or nationalist populism. We would answer: yes. Τo a significant degree the ground is fertile for such a step.
On the other hand, we have to acknowledge that a sizeable segment of European society – impossible to quantify with precision – is still indifferent, suspicious or hostile to liberal ideas or what is commonly acknowledged as 'European values'. Many people remain prone to xenophobia, irrationality, superstition, prejudice and negative stereotypes against certain groups of people. They oppose secularism. They are indifferent to the separation of executive, legislative and judicial powers. They are receptive to fake news, irrational explanations of events and outrageous conspiracy theories. They vote for populist and/or nationalistic political parties. They are only sensitive to human rights abuses if these are committed against an affiliated group (e.g. against nation X), while being indifferent or even supportive of abuses when committed against presumably hostile groups (e.g. against religion Y or minority Z). They reject the difficult policy choices necessary for society's long-term benefit (e.g. moderation in public spending) and accuse instead Europe's "elites" or "oligarchy" for making such choices. Their decisions and emotions are dominated by irrationality, self-interest and prejudice versus reason and values.
The many values that civic education can instil in citizens.
Those people are not necessarily poorly educated. Many of them belong to the elites. Many of them are intellectuals, wealthy and privileged. Sometimes we ourselves behave or think in this way, without even realising it. The roots of such behaviour run deeper. It is in human nature to think along the lines of tribal instinct and stereotypes, to mistrust what is alien – perhaps this is one of our evolutionary features for survival. Such attitudes can be further traced to the education and values received from families, schools, media and social circles. Those instincts must be harnessed, however. We thus believe that a prime task of the EU and its member states should be the civic education of the members of its society, with the aim of fostering consensual decisions, rational thinking, values of mutual respect and a healthy democracy.
– the rationale of fiscal and economic policies: why are taxes imposed on citizens and how are they spent?
Civic education is not a process that only happens once and is then considered completed. It is something that follows people's lives and needs. It evolves together with society. We would first split it in two pillars: civic education as part of basic school education, and civic education as a life-long process.
The first and most important step would be the inclusion of civic education in the curriculum of basic school education. For more on this subject, see our proposal for a common European curriculum in a text published here.
All these elements listed above should be taught in simple terms to children of all ages. Basic school education should engage children in acts of civil participation and teach them the value of volunteerism, public participation and a rational filtering of what they hear, see or read. During each year of their school life, children should learn about how and why we have moved from the EEC to the EU, and also about the core values of their nations' constitutions and what they mean for our daily lives. As a separate teaching subject, civic education should be taught by specially trained teachers.
Civic education for adults would be more complicated. They are exposed to many different sources of information and opinion-making, including media, as well as their own readings, professional, social and civil activities. Thus, the EU and its member states would need a synergistic program involving government, public administration, civil society and media.
Governmental institutions should communicate their policies in a transparent and simple manner. Hard choices need to be explained with honesty so that people understand and accept them. If an austerity measure is adopted, public authorities should clarify in a simple manner why is it needed, and what policy areas is it going to serve. People need to understand the need and purpose of certain sacrifices in order to accept them.
The Ministries of the EU government should explain in a few simple words their mission and the basics of their policies. Some examples: The website of the Ministries of Justice should inform citizens about the basic legal procedures: civil, criminal and administrative. Why are they separated and what purpose does each of them serve? What is the role of the public prosecutor or the investigating judge? What are the basic principles of family law or civil law? The Ministries of Environment should offer the most rational and documented information about climate change, our responsibility to tackle it, the value of recycling, how best to do it, how to save energy, how to protect the forests, how to contribute to cleaner urban air, and so on.
The EU- and national parliaments should clearly inform people about their mission, their committees, how they work and what their basic tasks are. How can a citizen contact a member of his/her parliament? How can citizens submit petitions? How do the parliaments control the other branches of the governing system?
The EU and national banks should educate the public about the basics of financial and monetary policy. What is inflation? What is the central interest rate, and when does it go up or down? What is quantitative easing? Why do the banks need capital buffers, which may sometimes restrict their lending potential?
We could cite many more examples in all areas of public administration.
Media bear a huge responsibility – perhaps the greatest – in educating the public not only about current events but also the "why" and context. A code of conduct should be adopted by European media and social media platforms on how to engage in citizens' education about their most important rights, obligations and the functioning of democracy. Media should also lead by example in the elimination of hate speech, racism and mistreatment of minorities. We know, of course, that this is easy to state but difficult to implement: freedom of speech and information inevitably include some rotten apples, and they always will. NGOs, trade unions and all forms of citizen associations would bear their share of responsibility. They could, for instance, inform their members and the wider public about possibilities for charities, engagement in environmental activities, rights of workers or pensioners, initiatives for healthier life and so on. The examples are endless.
All the above discussion indicates that life-long civic education is a complex exercise. It would require the engagement of many different actors who themselves might have a different understanding of its content and purpose. We also have to acknowledge that it could, in part, be a futile exercise: despite billions of euros invested, and thousands of experts, websites and working hours dedicated to civic education, many people would still remain mired in ignorance, tribalism and prejudice, simply because they find it easier and more comforting. This is human nature. However, the overall effort would be worth it.

WADA publishes first ever Athlete Reference Guide to the Code
September 19, 2014 – WADA is pleased to announce the publication of the Athlete Reference Guide to the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code.
The guide, which will act as a crucial point of reference for all athletes looking to enhance their knowledge of the Code, has been championed by members of the WADA Athlete Committee throughout the course of 2013 and 2014.
The WADA Athlete Committee, whose job it is to represent the views and rights of athletes worldwide, have led and directed the project in time for the introduction of the revised Code at the start of 2015. The document – which is purely a guide, and will not supersede the Code itself – will help athletes the world over better understand the anti-doping framework, rules and regulations.
The guide provides an explanation of athletes' roles and responsibilities, details of what constitutes an anti-doping rule violation, information on the Prohibited List and supplements, and details on matters ranging from the 'Whereabouts' rule to Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs), amongst other topics.
WADA President, Sir Craig Reedie said: "Long in the making, the Athlete Reference Guide to the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code marks a significant step forward in ensuring that all athletes, no matter what sport they play or which country they come from, understand their anti-doping rights and responsibilities."
"Many of the more technical aspects of the Code can be difficult to understand and, whilst the Code itself is still the legal document that athletes are held accountable to, this reference guide will help individuals better understand many crucial areas of anti-doping, from supplements to doping control, and the prohibited list to new terms such as 'prohibited association'," he added.
WADA Athlete Committee Chair, Beckie Scott said: "The WADA Athlete Committee members really championed, and provided the backbone to this guide. To me, it was crucial from the beginning that it would be a guide by athletes for athletes."
"Anti-doping can be a taxing matter for many of us, and what this guide does is help shed light on some of the more tricky subjects within anti-doping. Through its improved rules, the revised Code is going to offer a real boost to the clean sport movement when it arrives in just over three months' time. I am delighted that we now have this athlete guide to accompany the Code, and I look forward to helping promote its use in the months and years ahead," she added.
The Athlete Reference Guide to the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code is now available on WADA's website.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is the international independent organization created in 1999 to promote, coordinate and monitor the fight against doping in sport in all its forms. The Agency is composed and funded equally by the sports movement and governments of the world. Its key activities include scientific research, education, development of anti-doping capacities and monitoring of the World Anti-Doping Code - the document harmonizing regulations regarding anti-doping in all sports and all countries.

Abstract: We examine the effects of both whole-grade sharing and administrative consolidations of local school districts in Iowa in the 1990s, the majority of which were induced by state fiscal incentives. We find no effects of either sharing or consolidation on the pupil-teacher ratio, enrollments, or dropout rates. In terms of revenues, we find evidence of temporary increases in state aid, as predicted by the state incentives. This increased state aid, however, is not offset by changes in local revenue and thus total revenue increases. We find a corresponding increase in local expenditures, although this increase was smaller than the increase in revenues, resulting in an increased surplus. Although we lack detailed quality data on student outcomes, these findings suggest an absence of efficiency gains from either whole-grade sharing or consolidation.

Another Favre Retirement?
by Heather Lloyd // May 21, 2012 // No Comments
There's something missing this offseason. Can't you feel it? No talk of Brett Favre and his potential return to the NFL for one more storybook ending. No pictures of him training with high schoolers in his Mississippi hometown. I thought we were going to get another go round last year when Colts Owner (and Twitterholic) Jim Irsay tweeted for directions in Kiln, Mississippi following Peyton Manning's last neck surgery. It was a joke. We think. While the talk of Favre's return is no longer, there is still talk about his retirement. Yes, another one. But this time it's his iconic No. 4 jersey.
Green Bay Packers President Mark Murphy made headlines last week while making the rounds in Wisconsin. During a surprise visit to West Allis Hale High School he was asked by a student if the Packers would eventually retire Brett Favre's jersey. Talk about a loaded question (and good job kid, you should think about journalism school). Murphy responded, "Yes, he deserves that for what he did as a Packer." He went on to say, "Probably in a year or two. We want to do it at a time that's meaningful to him." The underlying message, at a time when it will also have meaning for fans. That may take more than a year or two.
Few would argue with the fact that Favre deserves to have his No. 4 retired, a sacred part of Green Bay history forever. It probably would have happened by now, but his split from the team was about as unfriendly as it gets. The drama over whether he would return, the Packers decision to move on with Rodgers, then Favre's unretirement, again. From there it got downright ugly. The Packers refused to release him and ended up trading Favre to the Jets. He played a season there and in 2009 got his wish and came back to challenge his old team as the quarterback of their division arch rivals, the Minnesota Vikings. And then there were the women, the texts, and the pictures. In 2010 we saw parts of Brett Favre that no one wanted to see, not even the women they were intended for.
All of that said, Favre has earned his place in Packers history. He led the team for sixteen seasons, during which they won seven division titles, appeared in four NFC Championship games, and two Superbowls, winning one (XXXI). Favre still holds many NFL records, including most career starts (297), most career touchdowns (508), and less notably, most career interceptions (336).
Maybe not the storybook ending we were hoping for, but in the end everyone is happy. The Packers got Rodgers, the Vikings got a new stadium, and Favre got…retirement. Well, maybe not everyone is happy. But someday Brett Favre will see his No. 4 jersey retired in Green Bay, a lasting tribute to a player who wrote a chapter in Packers history. And maybe in celebrating that chapter, Packers fans can eventually overlook the last one. Until then, we can still talk about Favre's retirement. Again.
