Nabel brings a unique perspective to health care based on her experience as a physician, research scientist, academic medicine leader, and wellness advocate.

As director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute from 2005-2009, Nabel leveraged the $3 billion research portfolio to establish pioneering scientific programs in genomics, stem cells, and translational research. One of her signature advocacy efforts was the Red Dress Heart Truth campaign, which raises heart awareness in women through unprecedented industry partnerships.
An accomplished physician-scientist, Nabel's work on the molecular genetics of cardiovascular diseases has produced 17 patents and more than 250 scientific publications. Nabel's scientific contributions in cardiovascular gene transfer have developed molecular and cellular techniques, delineated that the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, and clarified the processes of cell division and growth of vascular smooth muscle cells in blood vessels. Her studies on Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome have characterized the vascular smooth muscle cell defect leading to premature heart attack and stroke.
From 2015 to 2017, Nabel served as the National Football League's Chief Health and Medical Advisor, a position in which she identified areas for the NFL to enhance player safety, care, and treatment.
Nabel has been named one of the nation's top leaders in medicine by Modern Healthcare and Becker's Hospital Review, and one of Boston's 50 most powerful people by Boston Magazine. Her honors include the Distinguished Bostonian Award from the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, the Kober Medal from the Association of American Physicians, the Champion in Health Care award from the Boston Business Journal, the Willem Einthoven Award from Leiden University in the Netherlands, the Amgen-Scientific Achievement Award, two Distinguished Achievement Awards and the Eugene Braunwald Academic Mentorship Award from the American Heart Association, and six honorary doctorates.
Her colleagues have elected her to the American Academy of the Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Medicine, the Association of American Physicians, the American Society of Clinical Investigation, and she is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Nabel serves on the boards of Medtronic, the Broad Institute, Ariadne Labs, the Boys & Girls Club of Boston, and the Medical Advisory Board of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and previously served on the editorial boards for the New England Journal of Medicine, Science, and Science Translational Medicine as well as editor-in-chief of Scientific American Medicine.
A native of St. Paul, Minnesota, Nabel attended Weill Cornell Medical College and completed her internal medicine and cardiology training at Brigham and Women's Hospital.

Charged with a Federal Drug Crime?
Federal charges are different from state charges-and there are so many considerable differences that only a federal defense lawyer can walk you through it. At Patituce & Associates, we're one of the few firms in Ohio that can provide aggressive, successful defense for individuals who've been charged with a federal drug crime.
According to the federal sentencing guidelines, depending on the quantity of the drugs involved, you may face mandatory years, or decades, in federal prison. It is important that if you believe you are being investigated, have been charged, or have been indicted that you immediately speak with a federal defense lawyer.
Drug possession charges, and drug charges in general, are different from other crimes in that the court will take into account a number of different factors in deciding a sentence. You should make sure that any federal defense attorney that you hire has experience defending people from drug charges. Defending drug charges is incredibly complicated-and if the defense attorney does not have the experience necessary, they will not be effective for you. As former prosecutor, we have a unique insight into how the police conduct investigations, use confidential informants, use surveillance equipment, and many other facets of prosecuting drug crimes.
As drug defense attorneys, we have had an incredible amount of success defending clients from drug possession charges by challenging the strategy and techniques the police use.
Federal drug trafficking charges are often handled differently from other crimes. Not only are the investigations and prosecutions handled completely differently than a weapons charge, the federal sentencing guidelines require that the court take into account a number of different factors in deciding a sentence. You should make sure that any federal defense attorney that you hire has experience defending people from drug charges.
Federal defense attorneys are the best person to speak to if you have been charged with such a crime. An attorney will challenge the evidence and examine the proof, if there is any. Drug trafficking cases, as stated before, are complex and you need to speak to an attorney in order to best protect your freedom, income, and family. Make sure the firm you choose has experience defending clients charged with trafficking in marijuana, cocaine, LSD, crack, heroin, and many other types of drugs. Then you will know you have the best you can get.
Federal drug charges, as you are aware, carry serious consequences.
Most of the time, the evidence defendants face in these cases consists of wire taps, confidential informants, and undercover agents. It is important when selecting an attorney to represent you that you pick an attorney who has a significant amount of experience evaluating, and challenging, this type of evidence. As a former prosecutor, Joseph Patituce, the managing partner of Patituce & Associates, has a history of dealing with wire taps, confidential informants, undercover agents, and many different forms of alleged drug trafficking.
Do Not Speak to Federal Agents. Let Our Attorneys Do It!
The role of a federal agent is to obtain evidence to use, against YOU. Often, they will promise you leniency or they will claim no charges will be filed if you cooperate with them. If you possess information, or can be of some help to the investigating agents, it is important that a federal defense attorney work on your behalf to obtain a reduction in any charges you might face if evidence really exists to indict you. By speaking with the agents, and not having a proper deal in place, you give away your biggest negotiating chip: you.

Many organisations in Apac do not hire or retain cyber security experts.
In terms of cyber safety, the Asia Pacific region (Apac) has the worst record in the world with many cases going undetected, a new study has shown. The study reveals how most organisations in the Apac region are unprepared to identify and respond to hacks in a timely manner.
Mandiant M-Trends in its latest study says most breaches in Apac never become public and the discovery time on average for any such breach in the region was 520 days, way longer than the global average of just 146 days. To top it, most governments and industry-governing bodies still do not have effective breach disclosure laws in place.
"We knew responses to cyber-incidents here in Asia often lag those elsewhere, but we didn't know it was by this much," Grady Summers, the chief technology officer of Mandiant's parent company, FireEye, said.
The report discovered that other than common ransomware and trojans, Apac has been exclusively targeted with specialised attacker tools, like a suspected Chinese threat group, APT30, which targets highly sensitive political, economic, and military information for the last decade.
A major reason for the slipping of these critical breaches, according to the report, was the fact that most organisations lack appropriate technology to perform effective computer and network forensics. In fact, many organisations do not hire or retain highly sought after incident responders and forensics experts because they think of it as wasteful expenditure.
Cyberattacks have grown by leaps and bounds in the past few years, with many targeted at financial institutions with the aim of siphoning off money. One of the biggest hacks this year in the Apac region has been the Bangladesh bank hack where investigators say the lack of basic defence mechanisms was a key vulnerability aided by a suspected insider hand.

Die Goethewarte ist ein historischer, denkmalgeschützter Aussichtsturm im nordöstlichen Villengebiet oberhalb des Stadtzentrums von Wiesbaden. Er wurde 1932 anlässlich des 100. Todestages des Dichters Johann Wolfgang von Goethe nach Plänen des Regierungsbaumeisters Eberhard Finsterwalder auf dem Geisberg nördlich der Stadt errichtet und am 13. November 1932 eingeweiht. Initiator des Baus war der Verschönerungsverein der Stadt Wiesbaden, der den Großindustriellen Wilhelm von Opel als Stifter gewinnen konnte.

Der etwa 13 Meter hohe Turm folgt in seiner Gestaltung im Stil des späten Historismus der Idee eines mittelalterlichen Wartturms. Der massiv ausgeführte Turm ruht auf einem aus behauenem Stein gemauerten, unverputzten Sockel. Nur im Obergeschoss öffnen schmale vergitterte Fenster den Blick nach Süden über die Stadt und in das Rheintal. Die Goethewarte steht in der nach Justus von Liebig benannten Liebigstraße unmittelbar neben der Villa von Schertel.

Goethe hatte sich zweimal zur Kur in Wiesbaden aufgehalten: vom 29. Juli – 12. September 1814 und vom 27. Mai – 11. August 1815. Während seiner "heilsamen Badeaufenthalte" unternahm er mehrfach Wanderungen auf den Geisberg hinauf, von dem er schrieb:
Man bedarf in Wiesbaden nur einer Viertelstunde Steigens, um in alle Herrlichkeit der Welt zu blicken.

Designed for a young family, the individual private spaces in this apartment are planned out like a house within a house, where the bedrooms and study spaces are clustered behind birch plywood volumes that double up as the distributed storage for the house. This frees up more windows for natural daylight to pass through. A system of wooden CNC-cut operable geared louvres also helps regulate airflow.
This five-storey townhouse is home to two siblings and their respective families. The site is architecturally significant as one of DP Architects' first projects in the 1980s, and the interventions are respectful of the existing building. The architectural interventions are designed to unify the two dwellings, while the interior design brings out the individuality of the two families.
Whimsical yet functional, the master bedroom and en-suite have been converted into a paradise for the client's physically challenged child. The bed frame is designed like a house to encourage the child to sleep alone while the bathroom is opened up to allow easy access. For a calming effect, a muted blue colour palette is used throughout the handicapped-friendly space.
Minimalist in colour and material palette, this flat is conceived as a place where the client can relax, work and hold large family gatherings. Seating areas are flexible and aplenty, with enough room to move around. Custom carpentry too abounds in communal spaces, lending a cohesive look throughout.
In an attempt to express physical and visual connections within the apartment, a new layout was introduced with a set of walls to delineate the common and private areas diagonally on a plan. This expanded the floor area of the master bedroom and effectively created a direct path between the bedroom and the en-suite, which was previously not possible. Glass panels are also installed in the living areas and master bedroom to capitalise on the views of the rain trees outside. See full project feature here.
Metaphor Studio is an interior and architectural design consultancy that specialises in residential and small-scale hospitality projects. It has designed, beautiful, functional spaces which integrate Asian-inspired details and express innovative spatial composition since 1999.
ASOLIDPLAN is built on the belief that all good design begins with a well-conceived plan. The young design firm has been pushing the limits of residential interior design since 2013, without compromising on durability, functionality an integrity.

Second phase of affordable housing campus moving forward

The First Step House is ready to move forward with the second phase of its Central City campus. The nonprofit, that provides recovery treatment for veterans and low-income residents, has started the Transit Station Development review process in preparation for a fourth-quarter 2018 groundbreaking.
In its entirety, the First Step House campus will consist of three buildings built in three phases. The first phase opened in 2016 and includes 50 beds with 32 transitional, apartment-style beds and 18 emergency beds. The first phase replaced a one-story commercial office building at the 400 South block of 500 East.
The second phase will be significantly larger than the first and will be five stories with 75 permanent housing units reserved for resident earning at or below 30 percent Area Median Income (AMI). The building will replace a surface parking lot directly north of the first phase building and will front both Denver Street and 500 East. In addition to the affordable housing units, the project will include supportive services and office space for the nonprofit's operations.
The apartments will occupy the top three floors. The first floor will consist of structured parking and the lobby for an outpatient clinic. The second floor will house the offices, community room, fitness center and 12,000 square feet of outpatient clinic space. First Step has received several state and federal tax credits but the nonprofit is still securing additional financing sources to fund the $15 million-second phase.
In January, the Salt Lake City Council approved First Step House's $402,250 loan request for the land acquisition of a two-story vacant commercial structure directly north of the 400 South facility. The nonprofit will convert the structure into a 40-unit affordable housing development for residents earning less than 30 percent the AMI.
First Step House hopes to start construction on the third phase in spring 2019. When all three phases are built out the First Step's 500 East campus will add 115 affordable units to the market and supportive services on 1.0-acre.

Caledonia barrier back up as tension rises
Last Updated Mon, 22 May 2006 10:22:57 EDT
Six Nations members set up a new barrier across a road in Caledonia, Ont., on Monday afternoon, shortly after aboriginal protesters and non-native residents of the area traded punches and insults.
Ontario Provincial Police officers separated the two sides and then lined up in a pair of columns to keep them apart on Highway 6, the main road running through the southern Ontario town.
Tempers reached the boiling point just a few hours after what had seemed to be a breakthrough in a five-week standoff over the construction of a subdivision on land the aboriginal protesters claim is theirs.
A large backhoe has been digging up the road in front of the native blockade.
A native spokesperson had approached the non-native demonstrators and told them: "If you leave, we won't dig up the land."
Barricades that the Six Nations protesters had erected on April 20 on Highway 6 came down as planned early Monday.
However, traffic was still being impeded because several dozen non-aboriginal protesters had set up a human barricade of their own.
They were standing in the middle of the road a short distance away from the site where the Six Nations barricade had stood, blocking any aboriginal person who tried to pass through.
Sides trade punches, accusations
"That's colonialism at its finest," Janie Jamieson, a spokeswoman for the Six Nations protesters, told CBC News in a midday interview as more aboriginal people returned to the site and Ontario Provincial Police officers tried to keep the peace.
"The OPP is witnessing it but nobody's doing anything about it," Jamieson said.
At one point, shouting, pushing and shoving broke out as a vehicle tried to get through the new barricade. Some people from the opposing sides traded punches, and each side accused the other of using racial slurs.
"Most people in Caledonia have a great degree of sympathy for land claims and want it settled," said resident Pat Woolley, interviewed at the site of the non-aboriginal protest.
However, he said, "people behind the barricade feel they weren't consulted" before the blockade went up.
For weeks, vehicles have been let through only irregularly.
Shortly before the new Six Nations barrier went up on Monday, Woolley pointed out that people are still off work because the aboriginal protesters were continuing to block a nearby rail line. As well, he said, the Six Nations group does not intend to leave the subdivision at the heart of the dispute.
Land claimed by aboriginal people in area
The Six Nations community claims the land on which the subdivision was being built was never signed away by their ancestors, but was illegally taken from them 200 years ago.
"Our own populations are growing, and if we allow the loss of land, we will be remiss in our duties in our children and our ancestors," Six Nations Confederacy Chief Allen McNaughton said Monday.
The new protest that sprang up on the weekend briefly delayed a plan to take down the aboriginal barricade on Monday as a sign of goodwill as negotiations continued over the ownership of the land.
On Monday morning, they faced off with native protesters arriving at the site, moving their bodies to prevent them from walking through the small crowd as OPP officers tried to keep the tension in check.
"If anything happens at that table, the barricades are going right back up as quickly as they came down," Jamieson warned in the CBC interview shortly before a new metal barrier was pushed across the road.
'We're going to work it out,' minister says
"We thought everything was going to happen today, but we've got a delay and we're going to work it out," David Ramsay, Ontario's minister responsible for aboriginal affairs, said early Monday during an interview with CBC News.
"You get incidents out there that upset people and minds get changed," he said.
"That's unfortunate."
The second blockade began Friday night, as part of a weekly demonstration by members of the community frustrated about the barricade that has been in place for almost five weeks.
Negotiator predicts quick end to latest tension
Former Ontario premier David Peterson was appointed at the end of April to help resolve the standoff.
"I think the fact that there's a lot of tension in the air is not a big news story," he told CBC News in an interview Monday morning after the non-aboriginal blockade went up. "In an hour or two, they'll get in their cars and go home."
Peterson said it was crucial that the Caledonia dispute be ended responsibly because it is being watched by native groups across North America.
"Don't underestimate the significance," he warned. "All of us were praying and working hard to ensure that something ugly didn't develop out of this, like an Oka or a Wounded Knee or something like that.
"Hopefully we can get through this in a peaceful way."
Saskatchewan blockade being planned
In a development that seems to underline his concerns, members of First Nations in the North Battleford area of Saskatchewan said they are planning to set up a blockade on two bridges crossing the North Saskatchewan River.
"We're doing that in solidarity with Caledonia, and all lands that have been taken over by people that are non-Indian," said Marcia Neault of the Poundmaker reserve.

This is a massive financing round. In fact, it is the biggest equity round raised by any Ecosummit startup so far because Sonnen's €76M Series D is pure equity. Christoph Ostermann pitched for the first time at Ecosummit Düsseldorf 2012 when he was still working on his Series A. Having secured €20M in three prior funding rounds, the total venture capital raised now amounts to €96M. The new investors are the Chinese wind turbine maker Envision Energy and the family office of Thomas Pütter, ex-CEO of Allianz Capital Partners. At the same time, GE Ventures that were announced as a new investor in June 2016 and the early investors Ecapital, SET Ventures, Munich Venture Partners and Inven Capital all participated in the Series D, too. Make no mistake, Sonnen is a well-funded and licensed utility that challenges all incumbent utilities by inventing new energy services and making electricity free for owners of PV and battery systems.

Value-able Decisions
It's been suggested one of the most important things you do in life is decide what's important in life – who you are and what you do. It is as true for followers of Jesus as it is for anyone. As we choose to embrace the values of the Kingdom of God our lives change forever. In fact, so radical is the resulting transformation that Jesus described it as a re-birth.
"Although some values develop quickly, others take years, perhaps decades, to develop"
Following Jesus is like starting life all over again. It is seeing everything in life from a totally new perspective. It changes our priorities and what's important in our lives. These new values come from our relationship with Jesus Christ, by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and through our reading of the Bible. Although some values develop quickly, others take years, perhaps decades, to develop.
Churches have values too. Along with our beliefs, there are the guiding principles to the way we live life together. No matter the breadth of our diversity, our individual expertise, our backgrounds or our culture, the church operates on a set of values that determine the way we relate to each other and the world around us. Sometimes we are not be aware what our values are, however a good look at the choices we make and the way we live will reveal them.
Our Challenge: to be IN it, but not OF it
"The question of how the church relates to the surrounding culture . . . was ever before them"
Throughout the centuries Christians have constantly wrestled with what it means to live as Christ's followers in societies and communities that are morally and culturally challenging to their faith.
Even at the beginning, when small, fledgling churches were first established across the Roman world, Christians were surrounded by a pagan culture filled with mystery cults, mysticism, philosophical debate and speculation. The New Testament is full of letters to these churches, letters aimed at helping these Christian communities navigate how they are to follow Christ each in their particular context. The question of how the church relates to the surrounding culture and how the surrounding culture affects the church was ever before them.
These questions remain with us today. In our (post) modern culture we are surrounded with tsunami-like changes spanning across a wide range of religious, secular and scientific thought. Our faith is constantly being challenged and we are prompted to wonder just how we are to live in and relate to the culture in which we live.
Historically the church's response has swung between two extremes: on the one hand capitulation/accommodation and on the other, separation. Neither of them is biblical. Read on >>>
"Maps have proven to be one of the clearest forms of communication ever"
Across countries, cultures and time, maps have proven to be one of the clearest forms of communication ever developed. They are most efficient and effective when it comes to recording, storing and transferring information, even when complex ideas need to be passed on, with simplicity accuracy and readability.
Maps take many forms. We are most familiar with geographic maps that locate mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, and so on, in spatial relationship. We use them to locate our current position so we can plan where we want to go, and how to get there.
Maps are also used to communicate information in such areas as population, economic, and weather patterns. We also have tools such as mind maps, cognitive maps and conversational maps. They too are aids for navigation whether the terrain is geographic, demographic or psychographic.
Robinson says, "It is necessary for the church to rethink its stance entirely"
It is also helpful to picture history as a map. History is never a re-creation of past events but a tool to understand the past in ways that help us recognise who we are, where we are and where we might be headed.
Nearly 20 years ago Martin Robinson, previously director of Mission and Theology at the Bible Society in Britain and now principal at Springdale College, wrote in his book To Win the West, "It is necessary for the church to rethink its stance entirely and to become a missionary church within the West."
Australia Day: Love-Respect-Tension
A couple of weeks ago we commemorated Australia Day – a day to celebrate all that it means to be Australian. From barbeques to beach cricket, in community and family events, from community awards to the new immigrants, the nation takes a day off thankful for such a wonderful country.
For some it is just another excuse for a day off work, for others it is less than a celebration. The date, January 26, marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the British ships of the First Fleet at Port Jackson, New South Wales. There are descendants of those who lived in this land before their arrival for who find this day difficult.
While the arrival of the First Fleet heralded the beginning of modern Australia, for many of the original inhabitants it signalled the end of a way of life. It brought with it suffering, disease and increased death rates thus making January 26 more a day of mourning than celebration, and more about invasion than foundation.
It is not hard to see why some feel this way. Read More >>>
A Church is Born
On the corner of Bligh & Hunter Streets in Sydney lies Johnson Square. Within it stands a monument marking the location of the first church building and commemorating the first church service held in Australia on February 3, 1788.
Richard Johnson Square
Sadly, only five years after its opening in August 1793 the church building was burnt to the ground. Allegedly a group of disgruntled convicts angered by decree from Governor Hunter requiring all residents, including officers and convicts to attend Sunday services, had set it alight.
Although it was made of wattle and daub construction with a dirt floor, thatched roof and plank seats the building could seat 500 and was the culmination of years of frustration by the first Christian minister in Australia.
The monument engraving
Richard Johnson, an Anglican priest, was appointed chaplain of the prison colony at New South Wales in 1786 largely due to the influence of evangelical Anglican reformers Newton and Wilberforce. Keen to have a committed evangelical Christian as chaplain in the colony, they recommended Johnson who at the time was working in London as an itinerant evangelical preacher.
A kind, generous and devout man, Johnson found life in the penal colony very difficult.
"Go and Baptise Them"
The word "baptism" was taken from the Greek language of the New Testament where it simply meant to "immerse in water"
Yesterday morning at Hobart Baptist Church we celebrated new followers of Jesus declaring their commitment to him in baptism.
The word "baptism" was taken from the Greek language of the New Testament where it simply meant to "immerse in water". Immersing people in water was an important symbol in biblical times and practised in a number of societies across the Middle East. It symbolised dying to a past way of living and identifying with a new way of living for the future.
Today, thousands of years later, it is still used it as a way for people to demonstrate to their friends, family, co-workers and themselves that their lives have changed. It symbolises dying to your old life by going down under the water, and coming up out of the water symbolises being born again into a new life. It is a powerful way of saying we immerse ourselves in all that Jesus is about and publicly declare this reality.
One special feature of the baptisms yesterday was those who were baptised. Read More >>>
Looking Back to Look Forward
"There existed a broad consensus . . . under-girded by a Christian worldview"
Once upon a time, not very long ago, Australian society was very different to what it is now.
Then there existed a broad consensus across social, cultural, intellectual, ethical, political and religious spheres under-girded by a Christian world view. Not that everyone believed, in fact the majority didn't, yet society by and large operated as if it were true. Both formally and officially we lived in a 'Christian' country and the church had a central and influential place.
Christendom had existed in some shape or form across Europe from the conversion of the Roman Empire. By the time Europeans arrived in Tasmania the signs of its disintegration were already evident and it reached a tipping point midway through the 20th Century.
This broad consensus no longer exists, and Australian society no longer considers itself Christian. The church as a result no longer occupies a central position. In fact, most people have little or no knowledge of how it was, and those that do often do so with derision and contempt
By contrast many Christians look back with a certain fondness. Read more >>>
One thing in common: Jew, Christian, Atheist
"My first visit to India opened my eyes to the completely different world of polytheism"
It is never easy to fully appreciate how others see the world. As an Australian Christian who believes in one God, my first visit to India opened my eyes to the completely different world of polytheism (many-gods). What was fanciful and strange to me, was normal to millions of people. Bowing, praying and worshiping to multiple deities was way outside my understanding of what religion was all about.
Just as strange, but in a different sort of way, is the view of some that there is nothing but the natural world—no God, no gods, no higher intelligence—nothing. However, I am yet to find a "pure" atheist, most seem to accept that there may be something.
Did you know that the early Christians were considered atheists by the Romans? It started with the Jews. Read More >>>
Let's Throw a Party!
Tony Campolo, an American sociologist, writer, pastor, and public speaker, tells a story of a time when he was speaking in Honolulu, Hawaii. Due to jet lag he was awake at 3 o'clock in the morning so went out to get breakfast and the only place he could find open was a bit of a dive. Assessing the food may not be good for him ordered a coffee and donut.
Campolo . . . suggested they throw a party for her
As he sat there, in walked eight or nine boisterous prostitutes who promptly sat next to him. Feeling out of place and about to leave he overheard one woman say, "Tomorrow's my birthday. I'm going to be 39." Her companions responded quite sarcastically, "So you want cake? You want us to throw a party?"
"I'm just saying it's my birthday. You don't have to hurt my feelings," the woman responded, "I've never had a birthday party in my life."
After they had left Campolo asked the cook if they came every night. Responding "yes" the cook asked, "why d'ya wanna know?" Campolo mentioned he had heard her say tomorrow is her birthday and suggested they throw a party for her. The cook and his wife thought it was a great idea and mentioned her name was Agnes.
So that's what they did. Read More >>>
Be a World Changer
"A little light transforms a dark room"
Salt and light are important ingredients to our everyday living. A little salt makes a big change in the way food tastes and a little light transforms a dark room. These ordinary everyday things are very powerful change agents.
When Jesus called his followers to be salt and light (Matthew 5:13-16) he was affirming a familiar theme in scripture. God's first command to the first human beings on earth was "to work it and take care of it."(Genesis 2:15). Then, even after the fall of humanity when most have rejected God, he reiterated the call to Noah (Genesis 9:1-3). Then when the people of Israel are in exile in Babylon he calls them to "seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile" (Jeremiah 29:7).
Similarly, in the New Testament Peter encourages Christians to see how they can impact those who don't believe by the way they live their lives (1 Peter 2:12).

Russia: Yeltsin Signs Economic Decrees
July 09, 1997 00:00 GMT
Moscow, 23 July 1997 (RFE/RL) -- Russian President Boris Yeltsin interrupted his holiday on the Volga River today to meet with top officials and sign a series of economic decrees.
Yeltsin held talks with First Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov and the chairman of the Central Bank, Sergei Dubinin. Saying legislators spent too much time vacationing, Yeltsin called on the State Duma to interrupt its summer recess to pass a series of bills aimed at overcoming Russia's current socio-economic crisis. He also chastized state officials who have so far failed to file public tax declarations. Yeltsin signed a series of decrees, among them orders on liberalizing gold trading, privatizing enterprises tied to the military and selling shares in the state electrical energy concern.

Q: Why can't I add a computer part to my generic order? When I try to compile I get recompile with -Xlint unchecked for details. When I run it says: "T extends Product declared in class GenericOrder.
I thought "T" meant I could shove any product in my array. My array also does not give an orderID. I like to check things before moving forward but I can't figure out how to create a GenericOrder with some computer parts.
abstract class Product {
    protected float price;

    // return the price of a particular product
    abstract float price();
}

class ComputerPart extends Product {
    public ComputerPart(float p) {
        price = p;
    }

    @Override
    public float price() {
        return price;
    }
}

class GenericOrder<T> {
    private static int ID = 0;
    private String orderID;
    List<T> order;

    public GenericOrder() {
        orderID = "order ID " + ID++;
        order = new ArrayList<>();
    }

    public String getOrderID() {
        return orderID;
    }

    public void addToOrder(T newProduct) {
        order.add(newProduct);
    }

    public List<T> getProducts() {
        return order;
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        GenericOrder  order = new GenericOrder ();
        order.getOrderID();
        order.addToOrder(new ComputerPart(5));
        order.getProducts();
    }
}

A: In your main simply specify type of the generic:
public static void main(String args[]) {
    GenericOrder<ComputerPart> order = new GenericOrder<>();
    order.getOrderID();
    order.addToOrder(new ComputerPart(5));
    order.getProducts();
}

A: List<T> does not mean that the list can store anything. It means that the list can store T, and T can be any one type. For example, if T is Integer, List<T> can only store integers.
The problem here is that GenericOrder is a generic type. Generally when you use generic types, you specify all the generic arguments, but you didn't:
GenericOrder  order = new GenericOrder ();

In this case, the compiler treats this as having a generic parameter of Object. This means that the inner list can store Objects or anything that extends Object. This is clearly not what you wanted. Therefore, you should add the generic arguments to say that you want a GenericOrder of ComputerPart:
GenericOrder<ComputerPart> order = new GenericOrder<>();

South Carolina Town Councilman Arrested
St. George councilman accused of misconduct in office …
Agents of the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) arrested a St. George, S.C. town council member this week and charged him with misconduct in office related to the alleged harassment and intimidation of a town police officer.
According to a news release from SLED, 66-year-old Ralph A. Martino was arrested on Tueday and booked at the Dorchester county detention center.
A probable cause affidavit accompanying the warrant for his arrested noted that on June 1, 2019, Martino allegedly intervened in a traffic stop involving the police officer and Martino's wife – who had been detained. At one point during the subsequent interaction, Martino "pushed (the officer) causing him to lose his balance," according to the affidavit.
"After a brief struggle, (the officer) was about to detain and arrest (Martino)," the affidavit continued, adding that "while under arrest, (Martino) did make derogatory and disparaging statements."
Among these statements? An alleged threat to fire the officer and to investigate him "and other officers with the police department."
Martino also specifically told the officer that he would "be on your ass," according to the affidavit.
Take a look …

(Via: SLED)
As with anyone accused of committing any crime, Martino is considered innocent until proven guilty by our criminal justice system – or until such time as he may choose to enter a plea in connection with the charge filed against him.
His case will be prosecuted by the office of S.C. first circuit solicitor David Pascoe.
St. George is a town of approximately 2,100 people located in northern Dorchester county near the intersection of Interstates 26 and 95. Originally known as "George's Station," it was incorporated by an act of the S.C. General Assembly in 1875. It is governed by a mayor and six-member town council.

The Knicks deserve a medal just for getting through last night without dozing off on the court. After fierce games against super powers L.A. and Indiana, both heart-breaking losses, the Knicks were forced to host the "Horri-Bulls" last night in a Garden snooze-fest.
Tim Floyd's laughingstock 78-67 in what may have been the dreariest Garden game of the season. The victory gave the Knicks their first regular-season sweep of Chicago (3-0) since 1979-80, which is worth a big yawn.
The crowd was dead-silent through much of the match, and even though the Bulls were within shouting distance entering the fourth quarter at 61-55, the Knicks seemed to be toying with the Bulls, who have lost 16 of 17, eight in a row and own the league's worst record at 13-54.
The Bulls opened the game missing their first dozen, opened the third quarter missing their first six and wound up scoring 26 points in the second half, including just two field goals in the fourth quarter.
Chris Childs said the Knicks should be ashamed for not knocking the Bulls out of the building and all the way to SoHo.
Instead, the Knicks put together an efficient, workmanlike defensive outing and the Bulls played like the Bulls — lottery-bound and shooting bricks all evening.
The Bulls finished shooting 36.2 percent from the field but avoided their season-low for points, which was 63 against Portland in January. The Knicks held the Bulls to the lowest total for an opponent this season.
The loudest buzz of the night was saved for Floyd, who had the gall to call a timeout with 29 seconds left and the Knicks ahead 12 points — an amateur move on an amateur night.
Latrell Sprewell led the Knicks in scoring, accumulating 15 of his 21 points in the first half. Larry Johnson's shooting slump continued but he still scored six straight points early in the third to keep the Knicks in command, including a pretty lefty hook in the lane.
LJ, who denies his bad back is slowing him down and making him less explosive, was shooting 23 percent from the field over the last four games entering last night. He shot 5 of 15 vs. the Bulls.
The Knicks seem to be trying to get him out of his slump by going to him a lot. In Indiana Tuesday, Johnson shot 16 times, making three. Sunday, he was shut out against the Lakers.
The Knicks were even erratic in reviewing their performance afterward. Allan Houston actually thought the Knicks played with passion and an urgency not to lose this game. In their last meeting in January, the Knicks blew a 27-point lead, saw it shaved down to two before hanging on.
"We had to show up and give the effort if we wanted to win," said Patrick Ewing, who scored 12 points on 5-of-14 shooting.
Marcus Camby, who banged his knee in a collision with Travis Best Tuesday in Indiana, was healthy enough to play on his 26th birthday and hit double figures. He came off the bench to score 10 points while grabbing nine rebounds.

Polisario: Algeria embarrassed by resurgence of enforced disappearance case
Posted on July 21, 2015 March 14, 2016 by Ali Haidar
The disappearance in mysterious circumstances in the center of Algiers in early 2009 of Ahmed Khalil, a senior Polisario executive, has resurfaced.
The family members of the Moroccan Sahrawi, Ahmed Khalil, who held the position of Advisor on Human Rights to the Polisario leader, Mohamed Abdelaziz, denounced the disappearance anew holding the Polisario leadership fully responsible for this act.
"What we want is justice," the missing person's son, Rachid Khalil, told Europa Press on Saturday.
Ahmed Khalil, whose six brothers are imprisoned in the Tindouf camps in Algeria, had not been heard from since early 2009, when he made a trip to Algiers to give lectures on human rights at universities in the Algerian capital.
At the time, persistent reports spoke of Ahmed Khalil's abduction by Polisario militia with the help of the Algerian intelligence services, which suspected him of wanting to escape the camps and join Morocco.
In 2014, the Forum for the support of Tindouf autonomists (Forsatin) asserted in a statement that Khalil had been kidnapped and possibly eliminated for having openly criticized the serious violations of human rights in the Tindouf camps.
Precisely, before he disappeared, Ahmed Khalil was going to denounce, during his trip to Algiers, the violations and abuses committed by the Polisario torturers at the orders and with the blessing of the Algerian intelligence services.
These services, fearing that the foreign press accredited in Algiers, would propagate Ahmed Khalil's criticism and seditious ideas, choose a radical option, that of silencing him forever.
Informal Sahrawi sources assure however that Ahmed Khalil is still alive and is being held by the DRS in a secret location in Ben Aknoune.
Rachid Khalil, resident in San Sebastian (Spain,) lodged a complaint about his father's case with the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances (WGEID.) He simultaneously called on international Human Rights NGOs to put pressure on Algiers "to prevent the risk of physical liquidation" of his father, a fate that awaits any opponent or dissident to the Polisario.
