Ressa is no press freedom martyr
"She is enjoying the attention too much."
I am not amused at all at those who profess to have bleeding hearts for Rappler chief executive Maria Ressa. They are trying to make her into a martyr, a crusader for press freedom. But she and her researcher/ reporter have been found guilty of cyberliber by a Manila Court, with a maximum penalty of six years in jail.
Even Vice President Leni Robredo joined in as she said that the verdict on Ressa had a chilling effect in the press. My gulay, even ABS-CBN has given its own slant to the issue, that President Duterte had something to do with the court verdict. This is not true, of course, but Ressa is capitalizing on this to project herself as a martyr.
The American press does not want to be left out. Ressa is an American turned Filipino.
The worst came from Human Rights Watch – East Asia Division, which said it was the worst blow against freedom of the press. But is press freedom really the issue here? Far from it
Rappler, Ressa and her reporter committed libel against a businessman whom it accused of favoring a justice of the Supreme Court with SUVs. This was reported first in 2012, but Rappler reported it again. I know that when a libelous statement is repeated, it is still libel. Press freedom has nothing to do with it. It is not absolute!
Rappler accused somebody of a crime, maligning his reputation.
There are three elements of libel, according to the Revised Penal Code. First, the person libeled is identified. Second, there must be an imputation of a crime or labelling of something to ruin his reputation. Third, it must be done with malice.
Clearly, the lawyers of Wilfredo Keng were able to establish these three elements. That was precisely what happened in the Maria Ressa case.
Ressa must pay for her crime! Press freedom is no excuse for committing libel.
She seems to be enjoying the comments of her supporters. It seems like being sued for and convicted of libel is some kind of badge of honor for a journalist.
I should know. I have been sued 17 times. In four of those times I went on trial, and twice, I apologized.
I expect Ressa's camp to elevate the case to the Court of Appeals and eventually to the Supreme Court.
On the sixth hearing at the House of Representatives in connection with the 13 bills filed for the renewal of the 25-year franchise of ABS-CBN, the network's lawyers insisted that there was nothing wrong with the creation of many holding companies by the owners.
Nothing wrong when the layering of so many corporations when the intention is to circumvent the Constitution that says only Filipinos can own and manage mass media organizations?
Let us look at the facts. First, the Lopezes organized Worldtech Holdings, which became ABS-CBN Holdings – a shell corporation with no other purpose or business of its own other than to issue Philippine Depositary Receipts to foreigners with 132,000,000 common shares.
According to the disclosure of ABS-CBN Holdings to SEC, each share cost P46.00 – a deposit of P45.90 and PDR option of P0.10.
That means that in monetary terms, there was P6.072 billion worth of shares in the hands of foreigners. One question here is whether taxes were even paid. Why was there layering of too many corporation, if not to cover their scheme using a corporate veil? PDR holders may not have the right to vote, but it is very clear that only Filipinos can own and manage mass media!
I cannot end this column without lamenting the death of a good friend, Danding Cojuangco, chairman and chief executive officer of San Miguel Corporation and founder of the Nationalist People's Coalition.
I have known Danding from way back, when he was with the Philippine Bank of Commerce. I was business editor of the Philippines Herald in the 1950s.
When Danding ran for president in 1992, he sought my support but I told him I had already committed to Eddie Ramos. I knew, however, that Danding had a good chance when former First Lady Imelda Marcos insisted on running. Ramos won that race, with Miriam Defensor Santiago claiming she was cheated.
I have always admired and respected Danding, both as a businessman and politician.
When Danding took in Ramon S. Ang as SMC's president and chief operating officer, San Miguel got out of its core business and went into infrastructure.
I say there will never be another Danding. May he rest in peace.

PINE PLAINS LAUNDROMAT OPENS, FIRST STEP IN MEMORIAL HALL PROJECT
For Immediate Release: April 22, 2105
Contact: info@ppmemorialhall.org, 917-647-2279
The Pine Plains Laundromat located in the rear of the Pine Plains Memorial Hall on Church Street opened for business this afternoon following a celebration attended by local residents, town elected officials and members of the newly formed Pine Plains Memorial Hall (PPMH) non-profit organization. The all-new Laundromat replaces the last Laundromat in Pine Plains that closed its doors in Memorial Hall many years ago.
Pine Plains Town Supervisor, Brian Coons, said, "The entire town is grateful for work that has been done by Jack Banning, Ariel Schlein and Christian Eisenbeiss who came together to first purchase the building and then to open this business. They have big plans for Memorial Hall and we couldn't be more pleased to see this first step taken."
"Right after we purchased Memorial Hall, the initial reaction we received was to bring back the Laundromat," said Jack Banning, President of PPMH. "We have obliged, but this is just the beginning. We are going to restore this building for its original purpose; to be a performing arts destination for the people of Dutchess, Ulster and Columbia counties."
Brian Keeler, recently appointed Executive Director of PPMH said, "We are well on our way to 503(c)(3) non-profit status for the renovation and operation of the building, and what is especially generous is that the Laundromat proceeds will go to the non-profit to help fund some of the renovation."
Billy Bartolomeo, former owner of the building and long-time Pine Plains resident as well as a volunteer on the Laundromat project noted, " We just had a revitalization meeting last week to look at the initial plans, and its great to see some of the things we talked about starting to take shape. Every long journey starts with the first step, and this is a great first step toward making Pine Plains a business friendly destination."

Background on Memorial Hall:
Memorial Hall was constructed in 1915 and given to the Town of Pine Plains in memory of John McIntyre, his wife, Elizabeth Hauver and their children by their philanthropic granddaughter, Mary Ellen Lapham Saunders who grew up in Pine Plains with her grandparents.
The building is an example of Second Empire architecture that included a large theatre space, and was originally build to be the home for theatre performances, light opera and concerts.
It was a regular stop for vaudeville and minstrel shows, before it was transformed into a first run movie house showing Hollywood fare until the late 1950s. It sat vacant until it was sold in the 1970s where it was subdivided and used as a coffee shop, hair salon, offices and a Laundromat. In the 1990s it was again sold for development, which never took place, and Memorial Hall has been ever vacant since.
The Pine Plains Memorial Hall INC non-profit will restore the theatre to its original glory where it will be a multi-use performing arts space to serve Dutchess, Ulster and Columbia counties and the entire Hudson Valley region.

Q: Pylint: self.xxx is not callable I am unsure why I am given this error when I coded my class as follows:
class Net(torch.nn.Module):
    self.architecture = {"backbone": None, "bottleneck": None, "head": None}
    self.architecture_name['backbone'] = model

    ...

    def forward(self, x):
        output = self.architecture['backbone'](x)
        ...

The error from pylint is when I call self.architecture['backbone'](x), the code still runs, but I just wonder if there is anything wrong with this.

A: Try putting the function in the dictionary literal instead of assigning it later.

Let's Talk About Environmental Justice
Robert D Bullard, the 'father of environmental justice' in the US. Illustration: Richard A Chance
It's been two weeks since the latest horrific killing of a black man, George Floyd, in Minneapolis by a white police officer. It has upended the world, prompted global protests and started many of us white folk on a long overdue journey in to understanding racism and awakening from what Layla F. Saad describes as 'the comfortable slumber of white privilege'. It's of course not an overnight job – and I at least wanted to take the last week to mute my voice online, listen to the black community and spend time reading, watching, researching, and talking to as many people as I could about the matter.
Last Friday (5th June) was World Environment Day, set up in 1974 by the United Nations and dedicated to promoting positive steps that individuals, communities and governments can take to protect the environment; I've taken the time to look into environmental inequality.
Image by Wake Forest University with caption "The fight for environmental justice is a fight for your life."
I came across the work of Dr. Robert Bullard, a professor at Texas Southern University, known as the "Father of Environmental Justice". Bullard started working on environment and race in 1978/79 when his wife filed a civil rights lawsuit against the city of Houston and the state of Texas after collecting landfill data. The research found that between the 1930s and 1978, 82% of all the waste in Houston was dumped in black neighbourhoods, even though only 25% of the population was black. This was not random or isolated; it was targeted and widespread across the southern states and the nation. They lost in court but the concept of environmental racism was born, and over 40 years later, the issue of minority communities bearing the burden (literally) of pollution looms large.
The principle of Environmental Justice is incredibly powerful and centres around the notion that all people are entitled to equal environmental protection regardless of race, colour or national origin. It's the basic human right to live, work and play in a clean and healthy environment and can be best summarised by Dr Bullard himself, "If a community is located on the wrong side of the tracks, it's going to get a larger amount of pollution."
"If a community is located on the wrong side of the tracks, it's going to get a larger amount of pollution" – Dr Robert Bullard

In the US, such Environmental Racism has is roots in racial discriminating housing, planning and zoning of towns (I read up on Jim Crow segregation laws) which allows chemical plants, landfills and refineries to be built disproportionally in communities of colour. The textbook example is the Flint Crisis where race is perceived to have played a large role in the Government's tragically slow response.
Beyond the United States, environmental injustices are of course affecting black people all over the world – look no further than this series documenting the crippling droughts that devastated the region's poorest, most vulnerable people in Africa :
– More than 650,000 children under age 5 across vast stretches of Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia are severely malnourished
-Water has become so scarce…that fetching it, which is women's work, means walking an average of almost seven miles every day.
-In Somalia, after decades of war and displacement, 2.7 million people face what the United Nations calls "severe food insecurity."

On the rich and poor divide, we know that climate change is inextricably linked to economic and social inequality and that it's the poorest who are both the least responsible for and the most vulnerable to climate change. Philip Alston, the UN reporter, said in 2019 "we risk a 'climate apartheid' scenario where the wealthy pay to escape overheating, hunger, and conflict while the rest of the world is left to suffer."
"We risk a 'climate apartheid' scenario where the wealthy pay to escape overheating, hunger, and conflict while the rest of the world is left to suffer" – Philip Alston
The theme of this year's World Environment Day was biodiversity which refers to the variety of life on Earth (there's believed to be 8 million species on the planet, 80% of which are still undiscovered). "Without biodiversity," says Professor David Macdonald, at Oxford University, "there is no future for humanity." I think of biodiversity as some sort of intricate, delicate, beautiful web where every single part is dependent on another, and when any part is altered, the whole 'web' is affected.
With this notion of interdependence in mind, I am making it my aim to shine a light on Environmental Racism and Injustices happening around the world going forward. I hope you'll stick around for it, and come on this journey with me.

Many prospects from Minnesota's 2019 class are beginning to emerge as legitimate Division 1 caliber talent. Champlin Park's Bennett Otto is the next one up on the list for Minnesota's junior class.
One of the most skilled guard prospects in Minnesota 2019 class, Bennett Otto has a very complete package at the two guard position. Otto possesses a great combination of ball skills, perimeter shooting range, basketball IQ and play making ability. Stretching out an additional 2 inches now at 6'4 over the past year, Otto now has ideal size as well. Otto is having a very impressive junior campaign displaying the skill and potential of a mid-major caliber Division 1 prospect.
Otto will have the opportunity to make a name for himself as he is projected to play a major role this spring for Howard pulley on the EYBL circuit. Otto has many of the attributes that college coaches seek out in guards and he is beginning to draw early interest from University of North Dakota and Northern Iowa amongst others.
Currently below the radar regionally, look for Otto to see his recruiting trail fill up in the coming months if he performs at a high level this spring and summer.

1993 Morgan Plus 8
A lovely Plus 8 with 44,500 miles on the clock; fresh MOT; handsome spec in black with black leather; lots of nice history; a very smart example
Premiered at the 1968 London Motor Show, the Plus 8 was developed by race engineer Maurice Owen and Peter Morgan in the small development shop at the back of the factory in Malvern.
Handbuilt in familiar Morgan fashion on a strengthened version of the Plus 4 chassis with aluminium over ash frame coachwork, its swooping bodywork looked as traditional as ever but gave no clues to the new model's extraordinary performance. Weighing less than 1,000kg and with some 160bhp and 190lb/ft of torque on tap, the Plus 8 immediately became Britain's fastest-accelerating production car, sprinting to 60mph in a shade over 6 seconds with a top speed of 125mph.
Constantly improved over the years, it received the Rover LT77 5-speed all-synchromesh manual gearbox in 1977 and in 1983 gained Bosch L-Jetronic fuel-injection which raised power to 190bhp and made it quicker to 80mph than the contemporary Porsche 911 Turbo. Things got even better in 1990 when the engine grew to a 3.9-litre with added torque. Combining Vintage-era charm with Cobra-like grunt, it was in such high demand that at one point the waiting list was over six years long.
This most attractive black on black Plus 8 was delivered as a new car through Libra Motive in 1993 – according to the Chassis Record on file. The owner clearly liked black, as not only was the car painted black, it had black leather and black Rivenhood, tonneau and sidescreens, head rests and a galvanised chassis as well as the charming listed option of door handles!
The sale of this car happened not long after the infamous Sir John Harvey Jones visit to the factory in 1991, so premiums were to be had on a new car. Its first owner kept it for six months, its second owner for 18 months and its third for about three years….the car being acquired by our vendor back in 1998 from Lifes Motors in Southport with 16,300 miles on the clock.
Although there is no mention of it on the build record, by now it was sporting a walnut dashboard, Cibie spot lamps, a stainless luggage carrier and Union Jack badges, all equipment still with the car today.
The accompanying service book shows seven stamps to 16,465 miles, its current owner then mostly using A D Garages in Garstang for its regular servicing according to the multiple invoices on file. There are a further 18 of these (25 services in total), the 2016 invoice indicating a mileage of 42,962 miles at this time.
Further to this, there are 25 old MOTs on file, showing that over the last few years its mileage has been minimal – a house move dictating its reluctant sale. It was given a fresh MOT just before the sale which expires in May 2022 with no advisories, a job which entailed freeing off the rear brakes and fitting new shoes – all sorted.
We have spotted the usual cracks around the headlight pods - a perennial issue with the model, but the car remains presentable.
This is a particularly attractive Plus 8 which still has under 45,000 miles on the clock. It has been well serviced throughout its life, well cared for and driven some 100 miles to the sale.

The two-gene Toggle Switch is a genetic circuit made of two mutually inhibiting proteins. This system is well known to present two stable equilibrium points in which one of the two proteins is present and fully represses the other, as well as one unstable equilibrium point in which both proteins repress each other with identical strength. The switch can be toggled by the addition of diffusible chemicals that weakens the repression capabilities of the proteins. The interest of my thesis was to control a single bacteria or even whole cell populations in silico at the unstable steady state by using two different control algorithms: PIC (proportional integral control) and OLC (open loop control). Applying this to single cells shows promising results that can be applied to in vivo experiments with the computed control parameters adapted to the biological system without tedious lab work. In particular, the application of the tuned control algorithms to whole cell populations reveals that although it seems counterintuitive, a population can be controlled by applying the same control to every single cell at the same time.
The ever increasing amount of data collected and stored, calls for algorithms to trans- form these huge amounts of data into useful information. In this context concept drifts are of increasing importance in the data mining and machine learning context, as today more and more data is read in streams rather than from static datasets. During the work on this thesis a classifier based on density estimation with adaptive sparse grids has been developed as part of the SGPP-Framework . This classifier is able to adapt to the data using refinement. The data in batches and the batches are weight to cope with concept drifts. Multiple weighting methods have been implemented and various parameters allow adjusting the classifier to the dataset used. The different weighting methods, as well as the adaptivity have been tested separately and in combination on multiple datasets. On most datasets, the results showed an improvement in comparison to an ordinary classifier based on sparse grids. For other datasets the correct set of parameters has yet to be determined.
In recent years a lot of research was invested in exploring and establishing the theory of topology optimization. The application field of topology optimiza- tion has expanded beyond structural analysis to include fluid flow, acoustics, heat transfer, nanophotonic devices and material designs. Therefore, engineers have an opportunity to mathematically obtain optimal designs for these cases where intuition and experience are not of great help. However, most of the con- ducted research was focused on 2D models. Due to high computational costs, performing topology optimization on 3D models may require hours of comput- ing time, or in some cases even days, which hinders rapid prototyping design process. Ideally, the engineers would like to have almost instantaneous feed- back in early stages of prototyping. Not as much research was conducted on improving computational efficiency as it was done for establishing the theory of topology optimization, hence it still stays an open topic for the research. Therefore, in this work we investigate the use of the multi-core architec- ture such as Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) by utilizing parallel programming framework Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). Since the optimiza- tion process comes with a high computational price of performing the finite- element method (FEM) analysis at each optimization step, the main focus of this work is to implement an efficient solver for performing FEM analysis. In order to accomplish this, several steps are taken. Geometry under considera- tion is discretized with the help of hexahedral elements. This enables the use of highly efficient matrix-free geometric multigrid methods for solving linear sys- tem of equations. Geometric multigrid algorithm is adapted in such a way that it maps to GPU hardware, therefore resulting in execution times far superior to those when solving the problem on CPU. Furthermore, we address the problem of enforcing Dirichlet boundary con- ditions when using non conforming meshes. As the most suitable approach Nitsche method was chosen.

OM International – Best and oldest immigration consultants in Baroda is welcoming the news from Canadian Immigration….take advantage to migrate to Canada with best immigration service providers in Baroda.
Quebec Lowers Pass Mark for Canadian Immigration through Skilled Worker Program
Pour la version française, cliquez ici.
In a move that has been welcomed by current and potential candidates for Canadian permanent residence through the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP), the government of Quebec has this month lowered the pass mark required to obtain a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) and, at the same time, removed the 'adaptability' factor from the points-based program.
OM International provides you with the best Canada Immigration advice along with other services like application for passport, passport renewal, Australia PR, Canada PR, Student Visa across the globe, work permit, visitors permit, business visas, and also provides IELTS Coaching……
The major consequence of this change is that one of the thresholds (the adaptability interview) that previously had to be met by most applicants in order for them to proceed with an application for Canadian permanent residence through the QSWP has been removed. While the program is currently not open to new applicants, an announcement date for the next application cycle is expected before the end of 2015.
In a press release posted on its official website, the government of Quebec stated that 'Quebec will select skilled workers in a more objective, consistent and effective manner.' The adaptability interview was deemed to have been overly subjective. In this interview, an applicant's documentation, language proficiency, and settlement plan for Quebec may have been inspected.
Come and visit OM International's professional staff for Quebec immigration procedure and find out your eligibility today.
Quebec noted that it retains the right to conduct interviews for the QSWP for quality control purposes and to verify the authenticity of submitted documents, though no points may be awarded for this interview.
The QSWP: How does it work?
The QSWP uses a points-based system, where points are awarded for an applicant's area of training, work experience, age, language proficiency, prior relationship with Quebec (through visits or family), the human capital factors of the applicant's spouse or common-law partner (if applicable), and whether or not the applicant has a validated job offer in Quebec. If an individual satisfies the minimum points requirement for these factors, he or she may then gain additional points for any accompanying dependent children and proof of financial self-sufficiency. Candidates should note that a job offer is not required for the QSWP.
Applicants should also note that they may be awarded points for French proficiency, though it is not an eligibility requirement for the program. Applicants who do not have knowledge of French, but who have strong credentials in other areas, may still be eligible to apply.
A single applicant must score at least 49 points, while an applicant with a spouse or common-law partner must score at least 57 points. Once a CSQ has been issued, applicants must then successfully complete medical and security examinations conducted by the federal government in order to be granted permanent resident status. Potential applicants to the QSWP should note that they should have the intention to reside within the province of Quebec.
Meet out counselors at OM International Vadodara's head office for a free on the spot evaluation for Canada Immigration under FSW or state nomination…
Pursuing a federal and Quebec application simultaneously
For now, the QSWP remains a first-come, first-served immigration program. In contrast, the Express Entry selection system for the federal economic immigration programs selects potential applicants on a priority basis from a pool of candidates who have made an expression of interest in immigrating to Canada.
According to the governments of Quebec and Canada, candidates can apply under the QSWP and submit an Express Entry profile, as long as they withdraw one when either a CSQ or Invitation to Apply (ITA) is issued.
The QSWP may be an enticing option for individuals who wish to make an application to immigrate to Canada without having to be invited to apply, as well as individuals who are in the Express Entry pool and wish to increase their chances of successfully immigrating to Canada.
OM International provides help with all the classes of visas including CEC, FSW, FSTW and PNP Visas
The latest welcome announcement
It is not yet known exactly when the next application cycle for the QSWP may begin, but today's breaking news is the latest in a series of announcements made by the government of Quebec over recent months.
§ In October, 2014, the government stated its objective to maintain a modern and efficient immigration system to attract newcomers who contribute to Quebec's economic, social and cultural life.
§ In January, 2015, Quebec released its new Areas of Training list. In particular, candidates with degrees in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Accounting, Translation, Banking and Financial Operations are to be targeted by Quebec.
§ In March, 2015, it was announced that the next application cycle for the QSWP will have 6,300 spaces.
§ In May, 2015, the government of Quebec announced that by October 1, 2015 a new online tool will be available for applicants for Canadian immigration through the QSWP, allowing applicants to complete and submit an application online. Moreover, the province amended the checklist requirements, in doing so simplifying the application procedure.
Towards a new Quebec Skilled Worker Program
"The latest announcement from Quebec regarding its flagship Skilled Worker Program is arguably the most important yet," says Attorney David Cohen. "With fewer hurdles to jump, as well as a simplified documentation checklist, a new and more efficient online application system, and an Area of Training list that rewards occupations that many people have experience in, the immediate future for Quebec immigration is exciting.
"Moreover, the next application cycle could be one of the last of its kind, a way to apply for and obtain Canadian permanent residence on a first-come, first-served basis. I would encourage candidates who may be eligible for both the Quebec program and one of the federal economic programs to consider pursuing both options, thereby increasing their chances of establishing a new life in Canada."
OM International a leading and very well know visa consultants and providing services in Vadodara over 15 years have qualified and experienced staff who can guide through every step of getting a residency
Note: Though applications for a CSQ through the QSWP submitted before the announcement of the start of the official period for receipt of applications will be returned to applicants in most cases, candidates in one of the following situations may submit an application for a CSQ at any time:
§ The applicant is eligible for and has submitted an application under the Programme de l'expérience québécoise (PEQ, or Quebec Experience Program); or
§ The applicant has enclosed a validated employment offer with the application for a selection certificate submitted under the QSWP; or
§ Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has informed the applicant that it has agreed to process the application for permanent residence in Canada; or
§ The applicant is a temporary resident in Quebec and eligible to submit an application for a CSQ.

Real estate could be the lynchpin for the equity markets and a failure of a large IPO could start a correction in the market.
Mr Deepak Parekh, Chairman-HDFC Bank, said, "If a large real estate IPO fails, it could have a serious repercussion on the market".
Mr Parekh stated that many of the recent IPOs have been overpriced and the markets are looking expensive.
Further he added, "Companies raising money need to leave money on the table for investors".
Indian realtors recently made a trend to raise money through IPOs, with at least five major real estate companies like Emaar MGF Land, Lodha Developers, Sahara Prime City, Ambience Ltd and DB Realty are looking to raise over tweleve thousand five hundred crore rupees.

Hausvater Project: The Father as Mentor to His Sons – Ten Topics for Man-to-Man Discussion
As many readers may be aware, I have been a long-time advocate of Classical Education. Indeed, several essays and innumerable comments on these pages broach the topic of Education in a way that (a) identifies the errors of today's post-Modern learning theories (like Social Constructivism), as I was trained in them at one of the nation's top ten Colleges of Education (according to the NEA) back in the 1990's; (b) differentiates them from the errors of Progressive pedagogies that were introduced by John Dewey and which dominated most of the 20th Century; and (c) as an alternative, promotes the ideologies and methods of The Great Tradition – an ideology of education which is:
–– an ancient form of learning that develops within a student the Artes Liberalis, or the arts of the free man, and, seating him before the greatest figures produced by Western Civilization where he imbibes their accomplishments in their own idiom, equips him intellectually with the creative genius by which many of history's most difficult problems were solved and the greatest advances achieved;
–– a form of learning which was rediscovered during the time of the Renaissance, and was systematized by Luther, Melanchthon, Sturm and others, as the general system of education for the German people, in order that the Reformation – a doctrinal reformation – would continue, and which was eventually adopted everywhere in Europe and in early colonial America;
–– and the form of education by which Western Civilization had been passed on to successive generations, to which each generation added its own accomplishments, and by which Western Civilization advanced.
The Great Tradition, known today as Classical Education, was the system of education that was crushed by the Educational Revolution of John Dewey, the utopian Industrialists who financed him desiring instead a labor pool of workers that were trained (not necessarily educated) in the Artes Servilis, or the arts of the slave. Those essays can be found by following the link, Classical Education, which is also a search label for this blog.
Many readers will also be aware of the fact that I have been an enthusiastic advocate of the Consortium for Classical Lutheran Education (CCLE). Having been a member of this organization for nearly ten years, and having attended its annual Conferences nearly every year, I remain convinced that the true brain-trust in Lutheran education is to be found among them. I know of nowhere else where a genuinely Lutheran ideology of education, that isn't mashed up and ruined with post-Modern drivel, is even attempted, nor of any truly compelling source of Lutheran educational ideology today, outside of the work of this organization, outside of the truly exciting rediscovery of The Great Tradition and efforts to reimplement it, in which the CCLE is engaged.
What many readers may not know is that, as parents of seven children, my wife and I have been committed Home Educators for well over a decade. My wife herself a graduate of home school, we were in agreement even before marriage – even while I was a graduate student studying Education at a public university – that we would educate our children in the home, and, already having adopted it in theory, that we would follow the ideology of Classical Education. Our life together from the beginning had this objective in view. Thus today, in addition to being a full time homemaker and wife, between the two of us Elizabeth being the true intellect, she is also Head Mistress of our "home-based educational program" (as we are obliged to refer to it in the State of Wisconsin), and lives the life she had dreamed of as a girl, and for which she prepared herself in college.

Her full time vocations as mother, wife and educator, being altogether as prodigious as they are (especially with seven children), we have very selectively sought supplemental assistance in the latter of these, especially for our older children whose subjects grow more demanding with each passing year.
We have been very pleased with the educational services of Wittenberg Academy, in this regard. This online school was started by Justin and Jocelyn Benson several years ago as an overtly Lutheran source of Classical Education, and today, after several years of hard work, they can boast (although I think they may be too humble to boast...) of having a highly qualified staff of teachers delivering an impressive array of course offerings, to those desiring supplemental coursework for their children (whether Home Educators like us, or otherwise), as well as to those who've enrolled their children in Wittenberg's fulltime high school degree program.
Even though I had been acquainted with the Bensons through our mutual association with the CCLE over the years, and with our children's involvement in Wittenberg Academy, I was still rather surprised to be asked by them to lead a discussion group last April, at their first annual Wittenberg Academy Family Retreat. We had been registered for some time already, were planning to attend, and were looking forward to taking in Dr. Ryan MacPherson's three-part presentation on Vocation, entitled Discovering Your Vocations in the Family, Church, and Society. We had met Dr. MacPherson and his wife several years ago, and though having only infrequently corresponded with him via email since then, we have always been interested in his work, and eager to read and hear what he has to say. A Professor of American History at Bethany Lutheran College, Dr. MacPherson is also President of the Hausvater Project – an organization that "seeks to equip Christian men and women for distinctive and complementary vocations in family, church, and society, by fostering research and education in light of Holy Scripture as proclaimed by the Lutheran Confessions." It was under the auspices of the Hausvater Project that he delivered the plenary sessions at the Family Retreat.

What was requested of me, however, was that I compose a list of ten questions concerning the vocation of fatherhood and the unique challenges faced by concientious Christian fathers in our own post-Modern era, along with a bullet-pointed summary of an approximately 15 minute introduction that would preceed the 45 minute discussion that I would lead and moderate. The questions, along with the bullet-pointed summary, was to fit on a single sheet of paper, and would be handed out to those in attendance (and I made sure that only one single sheet was necessary, as long as the printer was capable of half-inch margins and could print on both sides of the paper!). In addition to the obvious challenges of rearing sons and preparing them for a lifetime of Christian adulthood (of holding on to their faith in a world that desperately seeks to rob them of it; of avoiding the pitfalls of sexual immorality and of seeking, instead, his own "lifelong helpmeet"; etc.), the specific context of the issues addressed in these questions was that of family entrepreneurialism and of re-introducing the father's role as mentor in this regard – which I interpreted as the role of equipping his sons with a trade, of training them for a life of entrepreneurialism, and modeling for them Christian business practices. In addition to the handout, I composed an approximately eight-page essay as background to those questions focusing on marraige and entrepreneurialism, invoking Natural Law to establish the relationship of the Natural Family to Property Ownership and entrepreneurialism, its importance to the continuance of political Liberty and American Society, and the vital role of a Liberal Arts education to this end. Far too long to read in only 15 minutes, I read only excerpts before proceeding to the discussion. Afterwards, Dr. MacPherson asked if he might have a copy of the essay to go along with the handout, consolidate them, and publish the result on the website of the Hausvater Project. Somewhat flattered, I obliged; and in July he posted his adaptation of those two works on the Hausvater Project, under the title, The Father as Mentor to His Sons: 10 Topics for Man-to-Man Discussion. I think Dr. MacPherson did a fine job of consolidating the handout and the essay, into the single concise article he produced for the Hausvater Project; and given that today is Labor Day here in the United States, and that the thoughts expressed in that brief work closely pertain to the Vocation of Fatherhood, and address the post-Modern challenges faced by today's Christian fathers, I thought it would be appropriate to preface it here on Intrepid Lutherans, and share a link to the article that he posted. For those interested in reading it, I also include, below, the Topic Headings he gave to each question:

256 Years Old Man Breaks The Silence Before His Death And Reveals SHOCKING Secrets To The World
Meet Li Ching Yuen, a man who lived an astonishing 256 years! And no, this is not a myth or a fictional tale. According to a 1930 New York Times article, Wu Chung-chieh, a professor of the Chengdu University, discovered Imperial Chinese government records from 1827 congratulating Li Ching-Yuen on his 150th birthday, and further documents later congratulating him on his 200th birthday in 1877.
In 1928, a New York Times correspondent wrote that many of the old men in Li's neighborhood asserted that their grandfathers knew him when they were boys, and that he at that time was a grown man.
Li Ching Yuen reportedly began his herbalist career at the age of 10, where he gathered herbs in mountain ranges and learned of their potency for longevity. For almost 40 years, he survived on a diet of herbs such as lingzhi, goji berry, wild ginseng, he shoo wu and gotu kola and rice wine.
In 1749, at the age of 71, he joined the Chinese armies as teacher of martial arts. Li was said to be a much-loved figure in his community, marrying 23 times and fathering over 200 children.
According to the generally accepted tales told in his province, Li was able to read and write as a child, and by his tenth birthday had traveled in Kansu, Shansi, Tibet, Annam, Siam and Manchuria gathering herbs. For the first hundred years he continued at this occupation. Then he switched to selling herbs gathered by others. He sold lingzhi, goji berry, wild ginseng, he shou wu and gotu kola along with other Chinese herbs, and lived off a diet of these herbs and rice wine.
HE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE
According to one of Li's disciples, he had once encountered an even older 500-year-old man, who taught him Qigong exercises and dietary recommendations that would help him extend his lifespan to superhuman proportions. Apart from Qigong and a herb-rich diet, what else can we learn from this Master of Longevity?
How about this: On his d*eath bed, Li famously said, "I have done all that I have to do in this world". Could his peaceful last words also hint at one of the biggest secrets to a long and prosperous life? It's interesting to note that in the West, we're often taught to believe that aging is something that must be "b*eaten" with high tech infrared devices and state of the art medication.
HIS SECRET TO LONG HEALTH:
Li was asked what his secret was to longevity. This was his reply: "Keep a quiet heart, sit like a tortoise, walk sprightly like a pigeon and sleep like a dog." These were the words of advice Li gave to Wu Pei-fu, the warlord, who took Li into his house to learn the secret of extremely long life.
Li maintained that inward calm and peace of mind combined with breathing techniques were the secrets to incredible longevity. Obviously, his diet would have played a large role. But its fascinating that the old living person in recorded history attributes his long life to his state of mind.
WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO BELIEVE?
With the average lifespan for the Western world currently sitting between 70-85 years, the thought of someone living over 100 years old seems like quite the stretch. The thought of someone living over 200 years old seems extremely suspicious. But why don't we believe that people can live this long? We have to keep in mind that some people in this world don't live a grueling 9-5 lifestyle, they don't have to deal with the stresses of debt, they aren't breathing polluted city air, and they exercise regularly. They don't eat refined sugars or flour, or any foods that have had pesticides sprayed on them. They aren't living off of the standard American diet.
They aren't eating fatty meats, sugary desserts, and genetically modified foods. No antibiotics. No alcohol and no tobacco. Their diets not only exclude junk foods that we so often indulge in, they also include superfoods and herbs which are like steroids for our organs and immune system.
They also spend their spare time in nature practicing breathing techniques and meditating which have been proven to improve mental, physical, and emotional health. They keep things simple, get proper sleep, and spend a great deal of time in nature under the sun. When we get a chance to relax in the sun, we feel instantly rejuvenated and call this a "vacation".
Imagine spending a lifetime doing that in the mountains, and combining that with perfect mental, spiritual, and physical well-being.
I do not doubt for a minute that if we all did the things we knew we were supposed to do, that living to be 100 years old would be commonplace. When we treat our bodies right, who knows how long we can live for?

The previous Great NEWS post Boomer Exercise and Fitness Part 4 concluded the 4 part series with important insights and this week is dedicated to Avoiding Aging Foods. Part 4 also served to recap and review some key simple strategies to help implement great exercise and fitness activities and directly relates to this post. You must be Avoiding Aging Foods to maintain the energy, endurance and excitement to sustain your exercise and fitness activities for a healthy and long life.
In Boomer Exercise and Fitness Part 2 you learned about how important it is to stop eating fake foods, fast foods and junk foods and start eating nutrient dense organic whole foods and super foods for perfect health. This post will go into great detail on what foods are aging foods and why it is essential for you to be avoiding aging foods.
"You are what you eat" is a very powerful rule to live by and remember.
Before we move forward with aging foods there are important foods facts to understand before you should decide to eat them or not.
Asking better questions leads you to better choices.
Q: What type of seed grew the plant?
A: Choosing organic ancient, heirloom and non altered natural seeds suited to your climate zone is your first choice. Use caution with some modern hybrid plants/ seeds which may actually weaken the plant vitality such as seedless grapes, oranges and watermelon. Avoiding all GE and GMO "Frankenseeds" is a key step to avoiding unproven biotechnology based on using harmful poisons and toxins to grow food.
Q: How and where was the plant grown?
A: Choosing organic local farmers using natural, rotational and sustainable methods to enhance the food and enrich the soil is smart. Avoiding foods grown with chemical fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides and pesticides by giant mono culture factory farms and the mega food conglomerates is also smart. Heavy use of commercial fertilizers and fossil fuels is not good for you or the environment and is not sustainable.
Q: How long was it in transit? How is it stored?
A: Fresh local produce is best for you and helps protect the environment. Eat foods that are naturally matured on the plant for maximum nutrient content and freshly harvested. Foods harvested early have a much lower antioxidant, mineral, trace element, phyto-nutrient and vitamin content and offers much less of the potential nutrients and life force. Being shipped long distances allows nutrients to breakdown and many chemicals are often used making food even less healthy.
Even healthy foods that are stored improperly tend to break down, go rancid and loose valuable nutrients which can greatly reduce their health properties. Healthy foods can turn into unhealthy foods when not stored properly. As an example olive oil needs to be in a dark bottle and kept cool to prevent light and heat from damaging and oxidizing it into unhealthy rancid oil.
Q: How is it processed?
A: Read the labels and learn about food processing and production. Determine if the ingredients have been highly heated, processed and refined. These processes break down the nutrients even further and may also create harmful compounds in the food which are unhealthy. Find out what additives, chemicals and ingredients are added during the manufacturing process. Any artificial additives, colorings, flavorings, fragrances, preservatives and sweeteners should be avoided. Remember less (processing) is best and fresher is better.
Q: How and by whom is it being prepared?
A: Before you choose to buy a food item (market or restaurant) thinking about how the food is to be prepared is very important. Boiled, broiled, fried, grilled foods and micro-waved foods tend to destroy nutrients and should be avoided. The best foods are those being consumed raw or prepared with minimal heating at a low temperature (below 118 degrees Fahrenheit) to preserve and protect the enzymes and nutrients. There are some foods that are easier to consume cooked like chickpeas, dried beans, lentils and brown rice. Even these foods can be soaked in water overnight, drained and then heated on low temperatures with a crock pot for great results.
It is important for the food to be prepared with love and positive intentions like a mom would prepare for her family to ensure the foods have good vibes. Learning more about the old fashion Asian, European and Hispanic cultures cooking philosophy will help raise your standards for higher quality foods and preparation methods.
Is it safe or is it a poison or toxin?
Q: Is it proven safe to eat? How much testing has been done?
A: Has the food been eaten for centuries or at least decades by animals and humans safely? Or is it part of a risky laboratory science experiment created by scientists for humans to serve as the guinea pigs. Many people are unknowingly being used as test subjects by research and development labs in very dangerous experiments. Even if the food company says the food has been tested on mice or rats it may be faulty data manipulated to falsely calm your concerns and hide the facts. GMO corn has been shown to cause cancer in lab rats yet the scientists say it is the same as non GMO corn. When you follow the money trail you will understand why they will say anything to convince you GMO's are safe. Avoid all artificial ingredients, colorings, flavorings, preservatives, seasonings (MSG) and sweeteners.
Unfortunately there are many companies and people that care more about product shelf life and profits than they do about people and the planet. Following a misguided belief in "better living through artificial ingredients, biotechnology genetic engineering and synthetic chemistry" it is easy for them to grow and manufacture foods that look, smell and taste great even though they are totally unhealthy and quite harmful.
At this point you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed and thinking this is too much information to gather about foods before consuming them.
What other choice do you have? If "You are what you eat" then what are the consequences to you and your family if you do not do your homework and research.
You and your family may enjoy eating some sweet and tasty fake food and end up failing the final examine and lose your life to cancer, diabetes, heart attack or stroke. It is imperative you develop the intuition, knowledge and skills to quickly determine if a food choice is good for you or not. Your health and wealth is your responsibility and too important to delegate to the Big Agriculture, Biotechnology companies, CDC, FDA, USDA or other government agencies.
Food choices really can be described as life or death decisions. Consuming anti-aging foods for perfect health or aging foods for disease and death is your choice. Look around you at the people who are struggling with disease and obesity and you will quickly recognize how many of them are making poor food and lifestyle choices. Health issues cause more bankruptcies in the US than anything else so protect your health and wealth at the same time.
CAFO animals are feed diets with antibiotics, hormones, GMO grains and other unhealthy compounds.
Confined Animal Feedlot Operation CAFO) animal products raised with antibiotics, crowding, GMO feeds, hormones and unnatural environment. As an example beef should say free range, grass fed, no grain diet and organic.
Bagged, boxed, canned and packaged foods are intended for long shelf life and are usually highly heated which destroyed nutrients.
Fake foods, fast foods and junk foods typically do not have full ingredient disclosure or preparation information.
Fair trade labeling help determine if the labor and food source is fairly paid and treated for their labors. Many foods come from non fair trade sources.
Farmed Fish are typically fed a non natural diet with additives, antibiotics and chemicals. Farmed salmon are fed a food coloring to give them that salmon color. Small wild fish like anchovies, herring, mackerel and sardines also contain less mercury.
Foods harvested early and shipped long distances are a concern.
Foods that are Boiled, Broiled, Fried, Grilled, Micro-waved and overcooked are less nutritious.
GE or GMO are red flag alarms and warnings. Since this is not required in the US this is a big challenge. If it does not say organic and it contains canola, corn, corn syrup, soy, or sugar beets the chances are extremely high it contains GMO. Just say No to all possible GMO foods and find safer alternative food choices.
Be sure you are reading the ingredients label before buying.
Ingredient labels – Read the fine print of all ingredients before you buy. Extremely fine print, lack of details or use of words you cannot pronounce are clues it is probably not a healthy food for you. The ingredients are listed in the order of most to least ingredient amount. Many sugars are listed under different names to deceive you as to the total quantity in a food.
Plastic bags, bottles and containers have many risks. Compounds like BPA, BPS, Dioxins, PVC, styrene and others may leach into the contents and disrupt your hormones. Bottle water is a major concern due to the water source and leaching of contaminants. Also plastic is one of the major causes of global pollution.
Refined Sugar and High Fructose Corny Syrup (HFCS) are major contributors to diabetes and obesity. Avoid them both like the plague.
Soil quality – Most commercial foods are from mineral depleted soil with excessive top soil erosion. Look for organic, perma-culture and sustainable as clues for better choices.
Synthetic chemicals and fertilizers are used on most commercial farms and are a serious risk to you and the environment. They contaminate the food, the waters and you. They end up in the lakes, rivers and oceans and are destroying our life supporting ecosystems.
Toxic fungicides, herbicides, insecticides and pesticides contaminate the food, our waters and you.
Trans fats and hydrogenated oils listed are signals to avoid it. Avoiding baked goods, donuts, margarine, muffins, peanut butter and other foods containing hydrogenated oils and trans fats is essential for your health and longevity.
Vegetable oils are usually from GMO sources (canola, corn, cotton seed, soy) and highly heated and treated with chemicals. The result is oil that is more similar to a paint or plastic than an oil for human consumption. Choose extra virgin coconut, grape seed and olive oil.
As you can clearly see today more than ever it is imperative to proceed with caution when eating out or shopping for foods. "Caveat Emptor" means let the buyer beware in Latin. It is becoming much more difficult to find the nutrient dense organic whole foods that deliver 100% of their potential antioxidants, enzymes, minerals, phyto-nutrients, trace elements and vitamins because of all the above mentioned issues.
In Boomer Exercise and Fitness Part 4 you received some important insights that most people might read quickly and zip right by without fully understanding the full meaning and ramifications. Therefore it is worth mentioning again here in this blog post how important it is to pay close attention. Read this next sentence carefully and slowly to really understand the deep implications.
"You are the result of the parameter and perimeters you choose to surround yourself with each day".
Choose wisely the passions, people, physical things, pictures, places, planet, plans, plants, prescriptions, principles, psychology and purpose you align with because these things will affect every cell in your body.
Start by focusing on the foods, plants, prescriptions and planet to ensure you are doing your part to be healthy and in harmony. The body, mind and spirit are influenced by the sum of your energy, information and intentions. Your internal world and external surroundings determine your happiness, harmony and health so do what you can to live and manifest a healthy lifestyle.
Many companies and people are promoting products that claim to be easy, healthy and tasty. By avoiding the misleading hype and focusing on avoiding aging foods you will receive better results easier, faster and for less money.
Millions of people are sabotaging their health and wealth. Are you one of them? This leads to unnecessary suffering because not turning their limiting beliefs into empowering beliefs is your choice. Since you have worked so hard to attain what you have it seems logical to use your resilient resolve to rewire and reprogram your body and mind.
Avoiding aging foods like burgers, fries and sodas is important.
Boiled, broiled, fried, gilled foods and foods cooked at high temps.
Spices and synthetic additives, colorings, flavorings, fragrances, MSG and preservatives (nitrates, nitrites and sulfides).
Wheat containing anti-nutrients, gluten and phytic acids which should be soaked, sprouted and soured before being consumed in bread, cereal, flour and pasta.
Whether you have been knowingly or unknowingly consuming too many of the aging foods and beverages now is the time to shift your behaviors and habits. This post is dedicated to helping you be better educated and informed about suggestions for avoiding aging foods for perfect health and slowing down the aging process.
This series and the entire site archive shares the Great NEWS strategies gathered over decades and compressed into posts that can be read in minutes and implemented quickly.
Sustaining your exercise and fitness activities for a healthy and long life is easier when you are avoiding aging foods. This post on strategies for avoiding aging foods will also help you avoid wasting your energy, money and time consuming foods that are most likely to rob you or your health and wealth. You must be continually learning about and Avoiding Aging Foods to maintain your emotions, energy and endurance.
What beverages and foods do you consume that are aging foods? Avoid those. Look for next weeks post on Anti-Aging Foods. Eat those.
Using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and tapping on acupressure points is one of the easiest ways to help you deal with avoiding aging foods and making better choices in the future. Doing EFT for manifesting perfect health mastery and viewing your Vision Board each day is a super strategy for success.
What comments, commitments or questions do you have regarding aging foods?
