MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND WATER MANAGEMENT
VETERINARY DIRECTORATE
c/o Mr. Mate Brstilo, Dr.Vet.Med.
Ulica grada Vukovara 78
Dear Mr. Brstilo,
We would like to appeal to you to react urgently in the case of labor horses in Bregana, about which Animal Friends has already informed the public and the media, sent a report to the veterinary inspection, and filed criminal charges at the District Attorney's Office, all of which you can seen in the attached documents. Even though shocked citizens and inspectors could see with their own eyes the wounded and exhausted horses, the latter are in danger of being further mistreated, abused, and lacerated.
We believe that the veterinary inspection has not acted according to the law and the professional ethics, since inspector Tomislav Skenderovic from the Veterinary Station Samobor has known for some time that the labor horses owned by Dario Juric were in very bad health and that one of them even died because of overburdening and a lack of appropriate veterinary care, all of which the aforesaid veterinary inspector considered "normal," given the fact that these are labor horses.
It is shameful that the representatives of veterinary profession in Croatia tend to belittle torture and suffering of animals that they are witnessing, instead of taking action according to their authority – in other words, they protect the abusers instead of protecting the animals. Unfortunately, our organization must face regularly the indifference of veterinary inspectors, who refuse to do what is in their power in order to help the animals or to cooperate with animal welfare associations, which lack the authority to do anything after being alarmed by the citizens apart from sending reports and seeking interventions by veterinary inspectors.
Because of the severe wounds on their bodies, the horses of Dario Juric must not be used for labor any longer. Moreover, they must be granted long-term expert care and veterinary surveillance, which their owner will hardly be willing to offer, since he is only capable of exploiting them for wood transportation. He has proved by his statements that he sees the horses only as labor force, not as living beings capable of suffering and experiencing pain. Therefore we demand that the veterinary inspection should immediately confiscate the horses and give six of them for adoption. Animal Friends organization has already found candidates among experts – associations for therapeutic riding and individuals, who have great experience and knowledge in working with traumatized horses and can thus offer them all necessary care and a dignified life.
Since Croatia is currently negotiating joining the EU, it should comply to the European legal legacy, which includes the laws on agriculture and rural development with clearly defined and valid directives on animal welfare. In case the Ministry of Agriculture fails to react by urgently confiscating the battered horses and offering them for adoption, Animal Friends organization intends to report the veterinary inspection and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Water Management to the European Commission on the charge of violating the five basic animal rights as defined in the Council Directive 98/58/EC (freedom from hunger, thirst and malnutrition; freedom from physical discomfort and pain; freedom from injury and disease; freedom to conform to essential behavior pattern; and freedom from fear and distress). Neglecting and ignoring the Directive, which promotes civilized and humane treatment of animals and protects their welfare, will certainly diminish Croatia's chances of joining the EU.
In hope of your prompt reaction and response,
Snjezana Klopotan

Edmund Sixtus "Ed" Muskie (March 28, 1914 – March 26, 1996) was an American politician from Rumford, Maine. He served as Governor of Maine from 1955 to 1959, as a member of the United States Senate from 1959 to 1980, and as Secretary of State under Jimmy Carter from 1980 to 1981. Muskie was the Democratic nominee for Vice President in the 1968 presidential election, and was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in 1972.
Muskie held the highest office (Secretary of State) by a Polish American in U.S. history, and also is the only Polish American ever nominated by a major party for Vice President.

Retirement and death 1.6
Electoral history 2
Muskie was born in Rumford, Maine. His father, Stephen Marciszewski (mar-chih-SHEF-ski) immigrated to the United States in 1903 from Poland and changed his name to Muskie. His mother, Josephine (née Czarnecki), was born in Buffalo, New York, to Polish immigrants. His parents, Roman Catholics, had seven children, of whom six survived.
Muskie attended Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, where he majored in history and government. While at Bates, Muskie was a successful member of the debating team, participated in several sports, and was elected to student government. He also worked during the school year as a waiter, and during the summers at a hotel in Kennebunk, Maine, to supplement the scholarship that allowed him to attend the college. He graduated from Bates in 1936, and from Cornell Law School in 1939.
During World War II, Muskie served in the United States Navy, rising to the rank of lieutenant. After the war, he opened a private law practice in Waterville, Maine, and married Jane Gray.[1]
Career in Maine
After the war, he was instrumental in building up the Democratic Party in Maine. Maine had traditionally been a strongly Republican state, notable for being, with Vermont, one of the only two states that Alf Landon carried against Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936.
Muskie ran in the 1947 election to become mayor of Waterville, Maine, but was unsuccessful.[2] He served in the Maine House of Representatives before being elected governor in 1954.
National career
In the Senate election in 1958, Muskie won 60 percent of the vote, defeating incumbent Republican Senator Frederick G. Payne, who received 39 percent of the vote. Muskie was reelected in 1964, 1970 and 1976, each time with over 60 percent of the vote. Muskie was one of the first environmentalists to enter the Senate, and was a leading campaigner for new and stronger measures to curb pollution and provide a cleaner environment.
In 1968, Muskie was nominated for Vice President on the Democratic ticket with sitting Vice President Curtis LeMay, running as candidates of the American Independent Party, took 13.53 percent of the popular vote and took five states in the Deep South and their 46 votes in the electoral college. Because of Agnew's apparent weakness as a candidate relative to Muskie, Humphrey was heard to remark that voters' uncertainties about whom to choose between the two major presidential candidates should be resolved by their attitudes toward the Vice-Presidential candidates.[3]
Continuing his career in the Senate, Muskie served as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee through the Ninety-third to the Ninety-sixth Congresses in 1973–80.
In 1970, the Maine senator was chosen to articulate the Democratic party's message to congressional voters before the midterm elections. Muskie's national stature was raised as a major candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1972. In 1973, he gave the Democratic response to Nixon's State of the Union address.[4]
Muskie was known by aides for having a hot temper.[5]
Before the 1972 election, Muskie was viewed as a front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. In August 1971 Harris polling amid a growing economic crisis, Muskie came out on top of incumbent Nixon if the election had been held that day.[6] The nation was at war in Vietnam and President Richard Nixon's war policies (and foreign policy, more generally) promised to be a major issue in the campaign.[3]
The 1972 South Dakota, initially a dark horse candidate, made a strong showing in the caucuses which gave his campaign national attention. Although Muskie won the Iowa caucuses, McGovern's campaign left Iowa with momentum. Muskie himself had never participated in a primary election campaign, and it is possible that this led to the downfall of his campaign. Although Muskie went on to win the New Hampshire primary, the victory was by only a small margin, and his campaign faltered.[3]
The collapse of Muskie's momentum early in the 1972 campaign is also attributed to his response to campaign attacks. Prior to the New Hampshire primary, the so-called "Canuck letter" was published in the Manchester Union-Leader. The letter claimed that Muskie had made disparaging remarks about French-Canadians – a remark likely to injure Muskie's support among the French-American population in northern New England. Subsequently, the paper published an attack on the character of Muskie's wife Jane, reporting that she drank and used off-color language during the campaign. Muskie made an emotional defense of his wife in a speech outside the newspaper's offices during a snowstorm. Though Muskie later stated that what had appeared to the press as tears were actually melted snowflakes, the press reported that Muskie broke down and cried, shattering the candidate's image as calm and reasoned.[7]

Muskie died in Washington, D.C., of congestive heart failure in 1996, two days shy of his 82nd birthday. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Muskie's papers[11] are kept at the Edmund S. Muskie Archives and Special Collections Library[12] at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine.
Muskie retired to his home in Bethesda, Maryland, in 1981. He continued to work as a lawyer for some years. In 1987, as an elder statesman, Muskie was appointed a member of the President's Special Review Board known as the "Tower Commission" to investigate President Ronald Reagan's administration's role in the Iran-Contra affair.
Memorial to Edmund Muskie in his birthplace, Rumford, Maine.
Retirement and death
Muskie attempted to bring the hostages home by diplomatic means, appealing to the United Nations and Iran. Muskie left public office following Carter's loss of the 1980 presidential election to Ronald Reagan, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Carter on January 16, 1981.
There was a short-lived "draft Muskie" movement in the summer of 1980 that was seen as a favorable alternative to a deadlocked convention. One poll showed that Muskie would be a more popular alternative to Carter than Kennedy, implying that the attraction was not so much to Kennedy as to the fact that he was not Carter. Muskie was polling even with Ronald Reagan at the time, while Carter was seven points down.[9] The underground draft campaign failed but became a political legend.[10]
Muskie returned to serve in the Senate, where he served as the first chairman of the new Senate Budget Committee starting in 1974. In 1980, he was tapped by President Jimmy Carter to serve as Secretary of State, following the resignation of Cyrus Vance. Vance had opposed Operation Eagle Claw, a secret rescue mission intended to rescue American hostages held by Iran. After that mission failed with the loss of eight U.S. servicemen, Vance resigned.

Pair of downtown Richmond projects run into snags
Jason Truitt
The Palladium-Item
RICHMOND, Ind. — If you've noticed in recent days that there doesn't seem to be much work going on with the Stellar Streets project on East Main, you aren't imagining things.
Construction has stopped temporarily so engineers can find a solution to a problem that came up after work began on the stretch between First and Fifth streets.
"The rock underneath the road is a little more dense, so the drainage for stormwater won't be to the level that we want it to be," said Jack Cruse, director of the city's Department of Infrastructure and Development.
"It's just a minor adjustment to the initial design. We're still very positive (about the project) because we have the right people on the job."
► RELATED: Yup, more road work has started in downtown Richmond
► RELATED: Handful of downtown buildings are about to get face-lifts
The original timeline for the project called for limited traffic between First and Fifth streets for four to six weeks with the full closure of Main between Fifth and Sixth and then between Sixth and Seventh still to come.
Now, that will be extended a bit. Cruse said it should be "a short amount of time before they're back to work again."
The plan to finish the overall project — which includes adding bike paths on Seventh and 10th streets as well — should remain on track to finish by the end of November, according to Cruse.
"I know a lot of people have construction fatigue, but we just need to be positive that in the end, the city is going to look a lot better," he said.
The East Main work isn't the only Stellar project to run into a problem recently. The city's plan to make over several of the building facades downtown is on hold after the lone bid came in too high.
Pride Mark Construction had submitted a bid of $1,751,000 to redo the outside of a handful of buildings. The city formally rejected the bid at this week's meeting of the Board of Public Works and Safety.
Richmond is getting a $750,000 grant from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs for the project. It requires a local match of $552,230.
Most of that money ($312,230) was to come from the building owners in the form of preliminary architectural services with the rest ($240,000) coming from the Richmond Redevelopment Commission.
"Since we did an engineering study before we started, we know what too high looks like," Cruse said. "I have a comfortable feeling about us getting the right people to get the right work."
City officials now will make some adjustments to the bid documents before putting the project back out on the market. Cruse believes the bidding process should be done by the end of May.
The city has until summer 2019 to finish the job.

A group of Democratic senators is asking Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to exempt Defense Department teachers from planned furloughs in the fall.
DoDEA Director Marilee Fitzgerald told employees in April that teachers were exempt from mandatory unpaid furloughs in the current school year, but noted possible uncertainty when schools start back up in the fall.
"The timing of these furloughs is especially damaging as they will be forced into the first month of school next year, impacting students' access to high quality education," the senators wrote.
The letter follows a floor speech Warner delivered in mid-May, where he said that the families of civilian and military personnel depend on the schools, and "should not be made to suffer" because of Congress' inability to manage fiscal matters.
Defense civilians currently face 11 furlough days, which is down from the 22 they were expecting in March. Many exemptions have already been outlined, including for personnel funded through the National Intelligence Program, and public safety and health workers.

DISPUTATION 17
ON REPENTANCE
RESPONDENT: HENRY NIELLUIS
As in succeeding Disputations are discussed Faith, and Justification through Faith, the order which has hitherto been observed requires us now to treat on Repentance without which we can neither have fellowship with Christ, nor be made partakers of his righteousness.
I. The matter on which we are at present treating, is usually enunciated in the three Latin words, resipiscentia, pænitentia, and conversio, repentance, penitence and conversion. The Greek word, Metanoia "change of mind after reflection," answers to the first of these, terms;
Metameleia, "regret on account of misdeeds," to the second; and Ewisrofh "a turning about, a return," to the third. On this subject the Hebrews frequently employ the word h b w t "a returning," as corresponding with the third of the preceding terms; and the word µ j n or h m j n which expresses the sense of the second. But though these words are, according to the essence and nature of the thing, synonymous, yet each of them signifies a particular formal conception. The First, repentance, is a conception of the understanding; the Second, penitence, a conception of the affections or passions; and the Third, conversion, is a conception of an action resulting from both the others. The general term, therefore, comprises the understanding, the affections, and an ulterior act resulting from both the preceding. The First signifies a change of mind after any thing has been done; and, after the commission of evil, a change of mind to a better state. The Second expresses grief or sorrow of mind after a deed; and, after an evil deed, "sorrow after a godly sort," and not "the sorrow of the world," although the word is sometimes thus used even in the Scriptures. The Third denotes conversion to some thing, from which aversion had been previously formed. And, in this discussion, it is that conversion which is from evil to good; from sin, Satan and the world, to God. The First comprehends a disapproval of evil and an approval of the opposite good. The Second comprises grief for a past evil, and an affection of desire towards a contrary good. The Third shews an aversion from the evil to which it adhered, and a conversion to the good from which it had been alienated. But these three conceptions, according to the nature of things and the command of God, are so intimately connected with each other, that there cannot be either true and right repentance, penitence, or conversion, unless each of these has the other two united with it, either as preceding it, or as succeeding.
II. According to this distinction of the various conceptions, have been invented different definitions of one and the same thing as to its essence. For instance, "repentance is a change of mind and heart from evil to good, proceeding from godly sorrow." It is also "sorrow after the commission of sin on account of God being offended, and through this sorrow a change of the whole heart from evil to good." And "It is a true conversion of our life to God, proceeding from a sincere and serious fear of God, which consists in the mortification of our flesh and of the old man, and in the quickening of the Spirit." We disapprove of none of these three definitions, because in substance and essence they agree among themselves, and, sufficiently for [the purposes of] true piety, declare the nature of the thing. But a more copious definition may be given, such as the following: "Repentance, penitence, or conversion is an act of the entire man, by which in his understanding he disapproves of sin universally considered, in his affections he hates it, and as perpetrated by himself is sorry for it and in the whole of his life avoids it. By which he also in his understanding approves of righteousness, in affections loves it, and in the whole of his life follows after it. And thus he turns himself away from Satan and the world, and returns unto God and adheres to Him, that God may abide in him, and that he may abide in God."
III. We call repentance "the act of man," that we may distinguish it from Regeneration which is "the act of God." These two have some things in common, are on certain points in affinity; yet, in reality, according to the peculiar nature which each of them possesses, they are distinct; though, according to their subjects, they are not separated. We add that it is "the act of the entire man:" for it is his act with regard to the entire mind or soul, and all its faculties; and with regard to the body as it is united to the soul, and is an organ or instrument subjected to the pleasure and command of the soul. (1 Kings xviii. 37; Rom. xii. 1, 2.) It is an act which concerns the whole life of man as it is rational, and as it was born with an aptitude to tend towards sin and towards God, and to turn aside from either of them. It consists of the understanding, the affections, the senses, and motion, and concurs with all these conjointly, though subordinately, to [the production of] repentance, penitence or conversion. (1.) In this act, the Understanding performs its office both by a general appreciation of its value and by its particular approbation and disapprobation. (2.) The Affections or passions perform theirs, as they are ewiqumhtikov concupiscible, by loving, hating, mourning and rejoicing; and as they are qumoeidhv, irascible, by being angry, zealous, indignant, fearful, and hopeful. (Ephes. 3 & 4.) (3.) The Senses, both internal and external, perform their office by their aversion from unbecoming objects, and by their conversion to those which are suitable and proper. (Rom. vi. 13, 19.) (4.) Lastly, the Motions of the tongue, hands, feet, and of the other members of the body, perform their office by removal from things unlawful and inexpedient, and by their application to those which are lawful and expedient.
IV. The object of repentance is the evil of unrighteousness or sin, (considered both universally, and as committed by the penitent himself,) and the good of righteousness. (Psalm xxxiv. 15; Ezek. xviii. 28.) The evil of unrighteousness is first in order, the good of righteousness is first in dignity. From the former, repentance has its commencement; in the latter, it terminates and rests. The object may be considered in a manner somewhat different; for, since we are commanded to return to God, from whom we had turned away, God is also the object of conversion and repentance, as he is the hater of sin and of evil men, the lover of righteousness and of righteous men, good to those who repent, and their chief good, and, on the contrary, the severe avenger and the certain destruction of those who persevere in sin. (Mal. v. 7; Zech. i. 3; Deut. vi. 5.) To this object, may be directly opposed another personal object, the devil, from whom by repentance we must take our departure. (Ephes. iv. 27; James iv. 7.) To the devil may be added an object which is an accessory to him, and that is, the world, of which he is called "the prince," (John xii. 31; xiv, 30,) both as it contains within it arguments suitable for Satan to employ in seduction, such as riches, honours and pleasures, (Luke iv. 5, 6; 1 John ii. 15, 16,) and as it renders to the devil something that resembles personal service. (Rom. vi. 9, 7.) In both these methods, the world attracts men to itself, and detains them after they are united to it. From it, also, we are commanded to turn away. Nay, man himself may obtain the province of an object opposed to God; and he is commanded to separate himself from himself, that he may live not according to man, but according to God. (Ephes. iv. 22; Col. iii. 9- 17; Rom. vi. 10-23.)
V. The primary efficient cause of repentance is God, and Christ as he is through the Spirit mediator between God and man. (Jer. xxxi. 18; Ezek. xxxvi. 25, 26; Acts v. 31; xvii, 30.) The inly moving cause is the goodness, grace, and philanthropy of God our creator and redeemer, who loves the salvation of his creature, and desires to manifest the riches of his mercy in the salvation of his miserable creature. (Rom. xi. 5.) The outwardly moving cause, through the mode of merit, is the obedience, the death and the intercession of Christ; (Isa. liii. 5; 1 Cor. i. 30, 31; 2 Cor. v. 21;) and, through the mode of moving to mercy, it is the unhappy condition of sinners, whom the devil holds captive in the snares of iniquity, and who will perish by their own demerits according to the condition of the law, and necessarily according to the will of God manifested in the gospel, unless they repent (John iii. 16; Ezek. xvi. 3-63; Luke xiii. 3, 5; Isa. xxxi. 6; Jer. iii, 14; Psalm cxix. 71; in the prophets passim; Rom. vii. 6, 7.)
VI. The proximate, yet less principal cause, is man himself, converted and converting himself by the power and efficacy of the grace of God and the Spirit of Christ. The external cause inciting to repent is the miserable state of the sinners who do not repent, and the felicitous and blessed state of those who repent—whether such state be known from the law of Moses or from that of nature, from the gospel or from personal experience, or from the examples of other persons who have been visited with the most grievous plagues through impenitence, or who, through repentance, have been made partakers of many blessings. (Rom. ii. 5; Acts ii. 37.) The internal and inly moving cause is, not only a consciousness of sin and a sense of misery through fear of the Deity, who has been offended, with a desire to be delivered from both, but it is likewise [an incipient] faith and hope of the gracious mercy and pardon of God.
VII. The instrumental causes which God ordinarily uses for our conversion, and by which we are solicited and led to repentance, are the law and the gospel. Yet the office of each in this matter is quite distinct, so that the more excellent province in it is assigned to the gospel, and the law acts the part of its servant or attendant. For, in the first place, the very command to repent is evangelical; and the promise of pardon, and the peremptory threat of eternal destruction, unless the man repents, which are added to it, belong peculiarly to the gospel. (Matt. iii. 1; Mark i. 4; Luke xxiv. 47.) But the law proves the necessity of repentance, by convincing man of sin and of the anger of the offended Deity, from which conviction arise a certain sorrow and a fear of punishment, which, in its commencement is servile or slavish solely through a regard to the law, but which, in its progress, becomes a filial fear through a view of the gospel. (Rom. iii. 13, 20; vii, 7.) From these, also, proceed, by the direction of an inducement to remove, or repent, a certain external abstinence from evil works, and such a performance of some righteousness as is not hypocritical. (Matt. iii. 8; vii, 17; James ii. 14-26.) But as the law does not proceed beyond "the ministration of death and of the letter," the services of the gospel here again become necessary, which administers the Spirit, by whose illumination, inspiration and gracious and efficacious strengthening, repentance itself, in its essential and integral parts is completed and perfected. Nay the very conviction of sin belongs in some measure to the gospel, since sin itself has been committed against the command both concerning faith and repentance. (Mark xvi. 16; John xvi. 8-15.)
VIII. There are likewise other causes aiding or auxiliary to repentance, some of which are usually employed by God himself, and others of them by those who are penitent. (1.) For God sometimes sends the cross and afflictions, by which, as with goads, he excites and invites to repentance. At other times, he visits them with the contrary blessings, that he may lead them, after having been invited, by goodness and lenity to repentance. (1 Cor. xi. 32; Jer. xxxi. 18; Psalm 80 & 85.) (2.) The causes employed by penitents themselves are watching, fasting, and other corporeal chastisements, as well as prayers, which are of the greatest efficacy in obtaining and performing repentance. The other causes employed by men are likewise serviceable in exciting the ardour of these prayers. (Psalm 119; Rom. ii. 4; v, 3, 4; xii, 11, 12.) It is possible for this relation to exist between these auxiliary and the preceding instrumental causes, (§ 7,) that the auxiliary causes are subservient to the instrumental, since they excite men to a serious and assiduous meditation on the law and the gospel, and by the grace of God obtain yet more and more a right understanding of both.
IX. The form of repentance is the uprightness of the turning away from evil, and of the return to God and to righteousness. It is conformed to the rule of the divine command, and is produced by an assured faith and hope of the divine mercy, and by a sincere intention to turn away and to return. As the penitence of Saul, Ahab and Judas was destitute of this uprightness, it is unworthy to be reckoned under this title. (1 Sam. xv. 24, 25; 1 Kings xxi. 27; Matt. xxvii. 3.) But since the mind of the penitent is conscious to itself of this rectitude, or uprightness, no necessity exists for such a man anxiously and solicitously to examine whether it be so great, either intensively, extensively, or appreciatively, as the rigor of justice might demand.
X. The fruits of repentance, which may also have the relation of ends, are, (1.) On the part of God, the remission of sin according to the condition of the covenant of grace in Christ, and on account of his obedience, and through faith in him. (Luke xxiv. 47; Acts v. 31; Rom. iii. 24) (2.) On our part, the fruits are good works, which are "meet for repentance," (Matt. iii. 8; Luke iii. 8,) and "which God foreordained," that believers and penitents, who are "created in Christ Jesus unto good works, should walk in them." (Ephes. ii. 10.) The ultimate end is the glory of God the Redeemer, who is at once just and merciful in Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rev. xvi. 9.) It results not only from the gracious and efficacious act of God, who bestows repentance, and converts us to himself; but likewise from the act of the penitents themselves, by which turning themselves away from sins, and returning to God, they "walk in newness of living" all the days of their life. It also results from the very intention of repentance itself.
XI. The parts of repentance, as is abundantly evident from the preceding Theses, according to its two boundaries, (both that from which it commences, and that towards which it proceeds and in which it terminates,) are two, an aversion, or turning away from the Devil and sin, and a conversion or returning to God and righteousness. (Psalm xxxiv. 14; Jer. iv. 1.) They are united together by an indissoluble connection; but the former is preparatory to the latter, while the latter is perfective of the former. The Papists, however, make penitence to consist of three parts; and seem to derive greater pleasure from employing the word penitence about this matter, than in the use of the terms repentance and conversion. Their three parts are, the contrition of the heart, the confession of the mouth, and the satisfaction of the work; about which we make two brief affirmations. (1.) If these be received as parts of the penitence which is necessary before God, then no contrition can be so great, either intensively or appreciatively, as to be in any wise either meritorious or capable of obtaining remission of sins. No confession of the mouth, not even that which is made to God, (provided the confession of the heart only be present,) is necessary to receive remission; much less is the confession which is made to any man, even though he be a priest. And there is no satisfaction, except the obedience of the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the justice of God can be satisfied either for sin or for its punishment, even for the very least of either. (Acts iv. 12; Heb. x. 10, 14; 1 Cor. i. 30.) (2.) If these be received as part of the penitence to which, before the church, that man submits who has injured her by scandal, that he may render her satisfaction and may contribute to her edification; then indeed those words, [contrition, confession and satisfaction,] may bear an accommodated sense, and such a distribution of them may be useful to the church.
XII. The contrary to repentance is impenitence, and a pertinacious perseverance in sinning: of which there are two degrees, one the delay of penitence, the other final impenitence unto death. The latter of them has a certain expectation of eternal destruction, even according to the most merciful will of God revealed in Christ and in the Gospel; lest any one should persuade himself, that the devils themselves, and men who have passed their lives in impiety, will at length experience the mercy of God. The former of them, the delay of penitence, is marvelously dangerous, for three reasons: (1.) Because it is in the power and hand of God to make even the delay of a single hour to be a final impenitence, since to Him belongs the dominion and lordship over our life and death. (2.) Because after a habit of sinning has been introduced by daily exercise, a man is rendered anaisqhtov, incapable of feeling, and his conscience becomes "seared with a hot iron." (1 Tim. iv, 2.) (3.) Because, after the gate of grace has by the just judgment of God been closed on account of a malicious continuance in sins, no passage is open for the Spirit, who is necessarily the author of repentance. Therefore let these words always resound in our ears, "Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts." (Heb. iii. 7, 8; Psalm xcv. 7, 8.) And this exhortation of the Apostle, "Workout your own salvation with fear and trembling: for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure," (Phil. ii. 12, 13.) May this be graciously granted to us by God the Father of mercies, in the Son of his love, by the Holy Spirit of both of them. To whom be praise and glory forever. Amen.
COROLLARIES
It is not a correct saying, that "to those who relapse after having been baptized, penitence is a second plank [for their escape] after shipwreck."
Those persons act harshly who, from the example of God not pardoning sins except to him that is penitent, refuse to forgive their brother unless he confesses his fault, and earnestly begs pardon.

Pensacola hit by cyber attack hours after shooting
Written by Jason Axelrod
Pensacola, Fla., has disconnected most of its network following a cyber attack over the weekend.
The city first became aware of the incident early Saturday morning, CBS News reports. The discovery of the cyber attack came just hours after a Saudi flight student killed three and wounded eight during a shooting at a naval air station.
The city has notified the federal government about the incident, according to CBS. Officials declined to elaborate on how they became aware of the attack for security reasons. They have also not ruled out a connection between the shooting and the cyber attack yet.
"We don't know if they're connected or not," Pensacola Mayor Grover Robinson said, per the Pensacola News Journal. "We have discussed and we have talked with the FBI. It's my understanding [the city] sent stuff to them, and we're continuing to work. Our computer people worked through the weekend to see what was happening."
Nearly all of the city hall's computer communication systems were down, as well as online payment systems for Pensacola Energy and the city's sanitation department, the News Journal reports. The city's IT department took down many of the systems as a precaution.
However, City Spokeswoman Kaycee Lagarde noted that the city continues to operate, albeit without some of its computer systems, according to CNN.
The city's police and fire departments, 911 service and the Pensacola International Airport were not affected, according to the News Journal.
"We severed things immediately as soon as we found out we were having this problem," Robinson said, per the News Journal. "So [public safety services] were severed immediately. … They're up and running and no problems at this particular time."
One expert predicted that the aging technologies and workforce, as well as bureaucracy puts state and local governments particularly at risk for cyber attacks, FOX Business reports.
"It will get worse before it gets better – far worse … [Governments are] an easy target," Morgan Wright, chief security advisor for SentinelOne, told FOX Business. "They've had too many wake up calls, the problem is they keep hitting the snooze button."

by Alex Mitchell
'The author of The Edible Balcony with 100 ingenious ideas for gardening on a budget.' The Bookseller
'Alex Mitchell's new book Gardening on a Shoestring offers a delectable range of ways to create a garden on a budget.' The Independent
In our increasingly busy and chaotic world, more and more of us are turning to gardening as a way to create a pleasant space to be in. However, as we continue to tighten our purse strings, the cost can make the pastime a source of further stress rather than one of pleasure. Alex Mitchell's Gardening on a Shoestring is full of inventive ways to achieve the garden you want on a budget, whether you are creating one from scratch or improving what you already have. Packed with money-saving tips, it combines classic gardening skills with simple, creative ideas. Sometimes it's about going back to the old ways of doing things, techniques in danger of being forgotten; other times it's about adapting to the new, saving money on equipment by making your own from inexpensive materials or knowing how to get bargains from nurseries and garden centres. So learn how to prune before you panic buy, grow food for peanuts, create pots for a pittance, propagate plants for nothing and make your own plant feed from weeds – all for next to nothing.

Q: Can a string's sophistication be defined in an unsophisticated way? This question is about sophistication, a way of measuring the amount of "interesting, non-random information" in a binary string, which was proposed by Kolmogorov and others in the 1980s.  I'll define all the needed concepts below, but for further reading, I recommend this paper by Antunes and Fortnow, this PhD thesis by Antunes, or this paper by Gacs, Tromp, and Vitanyi.
Given an n-bit string x, recall that K(x), the Kolmogorov complexity of x, is the length in bits of the shortest program p (in some fixed universal programming language) such that p()=x: that is, p halts and outputs x when given a blank input.  Given a set S ⊆ {0,1}n, one can also define K(S) to be the length in bits of the shortest program that outputs the 2n-bit characteristic sequence of S.  Finally, one can define K(x|S) to be the length in bits of the shortest program p such that p(S)=x: that is, p halts and outputs x when fed the characteristic sequence of S as input.
The "problem" with Kolmogorov complexity is that it's maximized by random strings, which are intuitively not very "complex" at all.  This motivates the following alternatives to K(x):
Given an n-bit string x and a constant c>0, the oxymoronically-named naïve sophistication of x, or NSophc(x), is the smallest possible value of K(S), over all sets S ⊆ {0,1}n such that x∈S and K(x|S) ≥ log2|S| - c.  Intuitively, NSoph measures the minimum number of bits needed to specify a set of which x is an incompressible or Kolmogorov-random element.  I call it "naïve" because it's the first measure I would think of that's sort of like Kolmogorov complexity but small for random strings (small because for random strings, one can take S={0,1}n, whence NSophc(x)=O(1)).
Meanwhile, the coarse sophistication of x or CSoph(x), defined by Antunes, is the smallest possible value of 2K(S)+log2|S|-K(x), over all sets S ⊆ {0,1}n such that x∈S.  Intuitively, CSoph measures the minimum number of bits needed to specify x via a "two-part code," where the first part specifies a set S containing x, the second part gives the index of x in S, and a penalty gets applied both for K(S) (the length of the first part of the code) and for K(S)+log2|S|-K(x) (the amount by which the total code length exceeds K(x)).  Despite the unwieldy definition, Antunes amasses evidence that CSoph is in various ways the "right" measure of the non-random information in a string.
My question is now the following:
Let c=O(1).  Is NSophc(x), my "unsophisticated kind of sophistication," always close to CSoph(x), Antunes' "sophisticated kind of sophistication"?  Or can there be a large gap between the two?  If so, how large?
Here's what I know about this question:

*

*CSoph(x) ≤ 2NSophc(x)+c.  To see this: let the set S minimize K(S) subject to x∈S and K(x|S) ≥ log2|S| - c.  Then CSoph(x) ≤ 2K(S)+log2|S|-K(x) ≤ 2NSophc(x)+log2|S|-K(x) ≤ 2NSophc(x)+log2|S|-K(x|S) ≤ 2NSophc(x)+c.

*NSophc(x) can be about twice as large as CSoph(x).  To see this: first, as observed by Antunes, if x is an n-bit string, then CSoph(x) never exceeds n/2+o(n).  (For we can always achieve that bound by setting S={x} if K(x)≤n/2, or S={0,1}n if K(x)>n/2.)  Second, as discussed by Gacs, Tromp, Vitanyi, it's possible to construct what Kolmogorov called "absolutely non-random objects," meaning n-bit strings x such that K(x|S) ≤ log2|S| - O(1) whenever K(S) ≤ n - clog(n).  For these strings, we clearly have NSophc(x) ≥ n-O(log n) if c=O(1).  Combining now yields the result.

As a final note, NSoph and CSoph are both different from the "ordinary sophistication" Soph, which is defined as follows: Sophc(x) is the smallest possible value of K(S), over all sets S ⊆ {0,1}n such that x∈S and K(S) + log2|S| ≤ K(x)+c.  Intuitively, Sophc(x) measures the minimum number of bits needed for the first part of a near-minimal two-part code specifying the string x.  One can observe the following (I'll give details on request):

*

*NSophc(x) ≤ Sophc(x)

*CSoph(x) ≤ Sophc(x)+c

*There exist strings x for which Sophc(x) is very large but NSophc(x) and CSoph(x) are both very small.

I'll also observe that NSophc(x), CSoph(x), and Sophc(x) are all upper-bounded by the Kolmogorov complexity K(x) (or rather, by K(x)+c).
Update: Sorry, just minutes after writing this post, I think I see the answer to one direction of my problem!  Consider the "absolutely non-random objects" x discussed above.  These objects satisfy K(x) ≥ NSophc(x) ≥ n-O(log n).  But precisely because their Kolmogorov complexity is so large, they should also satisfy CSoph(x)=O(log n), achieved by setting S={0,1}n.  On the other hand, I still don't know whether CSoph(x) can ever be larger than NSophc(x) (only that, if so, it's never more than a factor of 2 larger).  And I'd still be extremely interested if anyone could answer that question.

A: Hi Scott,
are you asking whether CSoph(x) may be much more NSoph_c(x) for every constant c? This question looks strange as NSoph_c(x) increases, as c decreases. Thus the question reduces to the case c=0 (or may be you allow negative values?). Which question precisely did you have in mind? Note also that Kolmogorov complexity K(x)  itself is defined up to an additive constant term (BTW, I assume that you meant the plain complexity and not prefix one). Thus you should specify the quantifier over K(x).
One reading of your question is the following:
Is it true that for all c, all K and all d there is a x
with CSoph(x) > NSoph_c(x) + d
Another reading is the following:
Is it true that for all c there is K such that for all d there is a x
with CSoph(x) > NSoph_c(x) + d
Kolia.
P.S. May be you will be interested also in the following result from our joint with Paul Vitanyi paper from FOCS 2002: if we allow logarithmic changes of c than soph and NSoph coincide (with logarithmic precision):
soph_{c+O(\log K(x))}(x) <  Nsoph_c(x) +O(\log K(x)).

Monthly Housing Costs
The data for monthly housing costs are developed from a distribution of "Selected Monthly Owner Costs" for owner-occupied units and "Gross Rent" for renter-occupied units. The owner-occupied categories are further separated into those with a mortgage and those without a mortgage. See the sections on "Selected Monthly Owner Costs" and "Gross Rent" for more details on what characteristics are included in each measure and how these data are comparable to previous ACS and Census 2000 data.
Monthly housing costs provide information on the cost of monthly housing expenses for owners and renters. When the data is used in conjunction with income data, the information offers an excellent measure of housing affordability and excessive shelter costs. The data also serve to aid in the development of housing programs to meet the needs of people at different economic levels.
Median Monthly Housing Costs
This measure divides the monthly housing costs distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median monthly housing costs and one-half above the median. Medians are shown separately for units "with a mortgage" and for units "not mortgaged." Median monthly housing costs are computed on the basis of a standard distribution. (See the "Standard Distributions" section under "Appendix A.") Median monthly housing costs are rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
Monthly Housing Costs as a Percentage of Household Income
The data for monthly housing costs as a percentage of household income are developed from a distribution of "Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of Household Income" for owner-occupied and "Gross Rent as a Percentage of Household Income" for renter-occupied units. The owner-occupied categories are further separated into those with a mortgage and those without a mortgage. See sections on "Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of Household Income" and "Gross Rent as a Percentage of Household Income" for more details on what characteristics are included in each measure and how these data are comparable to previous ACS and Census 2000 data.
