Mayor Lee Harris' Recent Actions Cause a Stir
by Jackson Baker
Even as most local attention begins to focus on the ongoing city election campaigns, including a multi-candidate race for Memphis mayor, another mayor, namely Lee Harris of Shelby County, is suddenly generating public attention — and controversy.
As the work week began, two actions taken by Harris were front and center in the public discourse. The first was the mayor's announced decision to veto a budget appropriation of $1 million to the University of Memphis for renovation of the university's swimming facilities, the Michael Rose Natatorium.
Reprising a debate that was held by Shelby County commissioners during budget deliberations and reinforcing his own call for a $15-an-hour minimum wage for public employees, Harris noted that the university still maintains a top minimum of $11.01-an-hour for some 330 employees.

"I believe issues of poverty that continue to persist in our community are interconnected to decisions like this one," Harris wrote in a letter announcing his decision. "Most of the University of Memphis employees in question are women and most are African-American. Many of these workers, no doubt, have children and families who rely on their work."
Taking note of the University's incremental raises toward the $15-an-hour goal, Harris held out hope that it should and could be reached. "If we all work together, with level heads and open minds, I trust we can identify a plan and timeline to solve this issue. However, until then, I cannot endorse this budget allocation to the University of Memphis. I realize that my stance here may create some consternation, which is not my intent. I take this stance after deliberation, and I am trying as best I can to follow my conscience. I know that commissioners will, as always, do the same."
The U of M president responded to Harris' veto announcement with a letter of his own, addressed to Harris and made public, in which he recounted what he put forth as the University's conscientious efforts over the years to raise employees' hourly wages to the $15-an-hour level.
"We are implementing a plan to increase our hourly wage to $15/hour over the next several years," Rudd said. "We're doing so because we believe our employees deserve it, because it's the right thing to do. Our employees are the foundation of our institution and the reason we're succeeding. We are not doing it because you've vetoed $1M in support for the Michael Rose Natatorium. We will do so in a manner that doesn't threaten the financial stability that we've worked so hard to attain, or result in dramatic tuition increases that threaten the success of our students and economic growth of the Memphis region."
Opting to consider Harris' letter as offering a quid pro quo fraught with "ethical" issues, Rudd concluded, "[W]e'll continue with already implemented plans to increase our hourly pay scale, and we'll do so in a manner that doesn't raise questions about our compliance with accreditation standards. I appreciate your willingness to provide support for the Michael Rose Natatorium. Given the request to directly influence University policy in exchange for the funding, I will have to decline the support."
Commissioner Van Turner, the County Commision chair, said the commission would have an opportunity to override the mayoral veto on July 22nd and predicted that the votes would be on hand to do so. But he foresaw conversations occurring in the meantime involving the university, the commission, and Harris that could result in a compromise solution.
"I think President Rudd has a plan to get to $15-an-hour that the mayor isn't fully aware of, but I think he will come to be aware of it," Turner said. "I think we can reach an agreement and be able to solve the veto matter amicably."
Indeed, Rudd and Harris would later exchange messages indicating that they could agree on a new U of M initiative stepping up the university's goal to reach the $15-an-hour plateau within the next two years.
That could obviate any head-on collision on July 22nd. Commission sentiment had been mixed in any case and contradicted any assumptions of a party-line vote providing an override. Commissioner Tami Sawyer, a Democrat and a candidate for city mayor, had said she was offended by Rudd's manner and would vote to uphold Harris' veto. Sawyer said the University head's letter was "disrespectful" of county government prerogatives and of Harris' position. "It was just this side of calling him [Harris] 'uppity,'" she said.
Conversely, Mark Billingsley, a Republican, had said he intended to override the veto and had predicted that other Republicans would do as well.
A Bombshell Endorsement
Meanwhile, a number of commissioners expressed bewilderment privately at another surprise move on Harris' part, his public endorsement over the weekend of District 6 City Council candidate Davin Clemons. The endorsement, accompanied by a $500 campaign donation, was made through the auspices of the Tennessee Voter Project, a PAC founded by Harris.
To begin with, it qualifies as something of a bombshell that the head of Shelby County government should intervene so directly in a city election. Secondly, Clemons, an openly gay police officer/minister who has served as the MPD's liaison with the LGBTQ community while simultaneously filing a discrimination suit against the department, is not widely regarded as being competitive in the Distrct 6 race.
Most importantly, Harris' endorsement of Clemons puts him in direct opposition to Edmund Ford Sr., the former holder of the District 6 seat who is the odds-on favorite to regain it, and who is supported by several members of the commission. The mayor's action is sure to exacerbate his already strained relations with Commissioner Edmund Ford Jr., the council candidate's son who succeeded his father for two council terms of his own. The junior Ford has been openly critical of several of the mayor's actions and recently told Harris in open session, "I can't respect you."
That remark was in reaction to a quip made by Harris in a TV interview in which the mayor blamed his problems with Commissioner Ford on the fact that he had beaten two members of the extended Ford family in previous election contests. Harris' support of Clemons against Edmund Ford Sr. is unlikely to defuse any hard feelings on the part of the Fords.
It is taken for granted by those who know Harris, who served abbreviated terms as a city councilman and state senator before his election as county mayor last year, that his ultimate ambition is to serve in Congress. He actively considered a Democratic primary race against 9th District Congressman Steve Cohen in 2016 before opting not to. The mayor's current actions — and the response to them — could impact that race or any other potential political ambitions he may have in mind.

When you read about an Onewheel Crash you will hear a lot about the Onewheel Nosedive. The motor would shut down for a moment which in almost 100% of the times results into a crash.
Some people sold their Onewheel or Onewheel+ because they are not willing to take this risk anymore. Others believe that it mainly depends on the skills of the rider and that each new sport / technology has its risks in early days.
Most of the time the Onewheel Nosedive will happen when you continue to accelerate even after a trough back. A trough back is a sign from your OW that you are going too fast and it will try to lift the nose up to slow down the board. If you continue to push the front pad down, you may dive your nose into the ground.
Nosedives do also happen if you go uphill too fast. Heavier riders seem to face more nosedives.
Some people report that the nosedive just comes out of the blue and in many cases a Onewheel Nosedive causes bad injuries. Again on the other side real Onewheel fans do think that's just the risk of a new sport.
Be careful, some of the pictures look really bad.
If you ride the Onewheel you better wear good protection gear.
Most times the Onewheel Nosedive is explained with the limitation of the motor power and that it would turn off if you demand it to hard, e.g. with heavy riders, uphill or accelerating over the edge.
Some people say you can eliminate the risk of an Onewheel Nosedive by always keeping the center of your body exactly above the wheel. Don't move your body over the front pad, only use your legs to put pressure on the front pad.
This makes a lot of sense and would be a better riding style anyways.
In addition you should not accelerate to the maximum speed (unless you want to take the risk and / or break a new speed record). If you go to the highest speed or maximum grade at a hill the board has only a minimum of resources left to keep the board balanced.
I think, the Future Motion team who produces the Onewheel should look into this issue and improve the board. I am sure they will.
May be the electronics can be improved or if the cause is the limitation of power maybe the software can be modified that the board will slowly reduce the speed.
And a final word about Future Motion. They are clearly the inventor of this sport and earn a lot of respect for that. But still each new technology has its weaknesses an can be improved.
There are cheap clones in the market. I had no opportunity to test them yet, but doubt that any other product has less challenges.

On the 'speculative' side Evagrios the Solitary relies heavily upon Origen (c. 185-c.254), borrowing from him in particular certain theories about the pre-existence of human souls and the apokatastasis or final restoration of all things in Christ. These theories were condemned at the fifth Ecumenical Council (553). On the 'practical' side he draws upon the living experience of the Desert Fathers of Egypt, mainly Copts.

Shawn Marion's Wild Convertible Car – Or Is That A Motorcycle?
UPDATE: Thanks to Patrick in Chicago, we now know that Marion is driving a Bentley that is next to impossible to find on the Internet. See photo below.
It's not a secret I've always been a big fan of Shawn Marion and his Internet profile. The guy will tweet out booze photos (like the shot-ski Insty), hangs at Hooters pageants and he always seems to have a new car.
Then he's spotted out yesterday cruising in what looks like a three-wheeled Mercedes convertible/motorcycle. I'm sure there's some car expert who'd like to tell me all about this ride that Marion was in.
We know from photos that this is a street legal one-seater that affords plenty of legroom for the 6-7 Mavs forward.


We started this project with an artist studio with little piece or water-infrastructure and gutted it completely to build this 40-seat taproom in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. The cabinets are custom steel with brass trim and the benches are crafted from American walnut. We added ample lighting and installed a marble-top bar to create a clean and intimate feel in the space.


To all the world...: Episcopal Church Hits Bottom, Keeps Digging.
Episcopal Church Hits Bottom, Keeps Digging.
If you are an Anglican or an Anglican Wannabe and have never been to Charleston, South Carolina, you MUST go. And you may want to hurry.
Charleston is the most Anglican city in North America. The spires of several Anglican churches are among the most prominent features of the city's skyline. There are street corners on which you can stand and see more than one Anglican church in a single glance. The only other city I have been where that was true was London. But, of course, it is not in America. Also, you would not find the churches in London nearly so well attended.
More importantly, if you visit most of the Diocese of South Carolina's parishes on a Sunday you will hear the Word of God exposited faithfully and well. And therein lies the problem, at least as far as the Episcopal Church is concerned. Anglicans/Episcopalians in South Carolina want the Word of God preached whole and entire, and unadulterated (no pun intended). Consequently, they aren't on board with some of the new things the Episcopal Church has been promoting lately. As the Episcopal Church's departure from biblical and historic Christian belief and practice has increased, the Diocese has sought to differentiate itself from the innovations of the Episcopal Church, while still remaining in it.
On Monday, October 15, 2012, Bishop Mark J. Lawrence, the 14th Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina was notified by the Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, Katharine Jefferts Schori, that on September 18, 2012 the Disciplinary Board for Bishops had certified his abandonment of The Episcopal Church.
Anglicans have been worshiping in South Carolina since its establishment as a British Colony. From the beginning, they have defended and upheld the doctrine, discipline and worship of the faithful generations who came before them. That freedom is now under direct assault.
As a founding Diocese of the Episcopal Church, we have taken steps in recent years to defend our freedom of worship and order of gathering. On Monday of this week (October 15), the Rt. Rev. Mark J. Lawrence (14th Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina) was informed by the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church that a disciplinary board had certified that he was guilty of abandonment of the communion of the church – that he had, in effect, by his words and actions, left the church. We believe that these actions of the Episcopal Church are both invalid under the Constitution of the Episcopal Church of this Diocese and violations of rights and freedoms which all Americans hold dear. We emphatically reject them, as well as the attempted restriction upon the ministry of our Bishop.
"You guys are the biggest Episcopal church in the area so I called hoping you would give me a comment for my paper." "About what?" I asked. "About Bishop Lawrence abandoning the Diocese of South Carolina," the reporter continued. "No such thing has happened; you must be confused." "No," she insisted, "I read it on the internet just a short while ago."
Well, my friends, she was confused . . . very confused; and I don't want you to be taken in by her or anyone else for that matter! In the coming days and weeks and perhaps even longer, much is going to find its way into newspapers, onto blogs and along human grapevines that will suggest to those who relish controversy that Bishop Lawrence and the Diocese of South Carolina, including The Church of the Cross, have fallen into an abyss. Don't believe it! Here is the truth in a nutshell.
Since 2003 the Diocese of South Carolina has been trying to stay in The Episcopal Church as an island of orthodoxy in an ever-widening, ever-deepening sea of liberalism and to do so without compromising its identity. Actions taken to this end prompted The Episcopal Church this week to move against Bishop Lawrence and by extension the Diocese of South Carolina. As a result a divide now exists between The Episcopal Church and the Diocese of South Carolina that will likely take the parties into court at some point in the future. That's the gist of it.
The question now becomes, "How should we respond as members of The Church of the Cross?" First, pray for the leadership of this diocese and this parish. Second, trust in the leadership of this diocese and this parish. Third, support the leadership of this diocese and this parish. Fourth, in the power of the Spirit do the work of the Gospel: proclaim Christ crucified, dead, buried and risen; witness to His grace and forgiveness; use your time, talents and treasure for His Kingdom purposes; and seek ways to rally the flagging, inspire the doubting, and buoy the drifting. Fifth, humble yourselves before the Lord God Almighty and strengthen your faith in Him - He is sovereign over this and all things and His glory will ultimately be revealed.
That's all for now. But I am sure there is more to come. Stay tuned. And keep praying!


Built in 1912 by J Samuel White at Cowes, Isle of Wight, this is a Royal Naval Hospital Boat of timber carvel construction, originally fitted with 2 Parsons semi diesel engines, which have now been removed. She was used as a hospital boat in both World Wars and was sold to a Mr Douglas Winter in approximately 1950. Converted to a houseboat and renamed GILLAROO, she remained in the same ownership for several years before being passed to various houseboat renters in Salcombe. She was sold to her present owner in 2007 and is now based at Aveton Gifford, in Devon, where it is proposed to either restore her to near original state or convert her to a late Victorian style river boat. She is possibly unique in terms of construction method and the mix of materials used; being built of 10 different types of timber and powered by the earliest of air cooled diesels.

Q: Why user becomes nobody? I have a problem about linux user,
I use a command to add user like:
useradd -u 532 -d /data/test01 -g test test01

but when I login as test01 and run mkdir x,
it becomes like:

nobody test  x

Why user becomes nobody?
How do I fix it ?

A: Another possible explanation is that you run this stuff on a filesystem which is fixed to one user.
Cases for this could be ntfs or vfat.
A nfs mount with root_squash (the default) might be another reason.

A: User alias
A possible explanation is that you already had a user called nobody with the UID (User ID) 532. The result is you have created a "user alias".
You either can try to specify another UID for your user (or let the system pick-up one). Or you can leave it like that. The only security risk is that if a service or other user can access nobody's data then it will be able to access your data.
NFS User ID Mapping
For users to have the feeling they are accessing their own files, the UID on the NFS server should match the UID on the NFS clients. Although, you want to avoid that for root at least.
By default, NFS exportfs will choose UID/GID of 65534 which corresponds to your user nobody's UID. You need to instruct the NFS server not to map all UID to 65534 or if this is the wanted behaviour, you need to specify the mapped default UID.
For the first case, remove the all_squash and replace it by root_squash, but bare in mind that any non root user with a similar UID between the NFS server and any clients will be a match, so they own the files"
For the second case, keep the all_squash but add anonuid=532 (you can use also anongid for the GID (or Group ID)).
Example:
/               pc001(rw,root_squash)
/home/joe       pc002(rw,all_squash,anonuid=532,anongid=100)

Note: the changes should be done in the file /etc/exports on the NFS server.

A: You can use the usermod command to modify various user parametes like the username and the UID.

Unfinished Business (BOOK REVIEW)
Unfinished Business:
Black Women, the Black Church
and the Struggle to Thrive in America
by Keri Day
Orbis Books
"This book explores the Black Church as a black religious site that can offer not only hope and cultural flourishing for poor black women but can also participate in a project of economic justice toward their well-being… Their spirituality is both a catalyst for social interactions and an interpretive lens used in formulating responses to their harsh political and economic conditions…
While capitalist institutions and systems perpetuate impoverishment for so many black women and their children, poverty deeply affects their human personality… Hopelessness within poor black communities is often left unaddressed as poor blacks are blamed for their own poverty…
Poverty is produced and reproduced when the poor are locked out of America's wealth-producing structures… My overall goal is to evaluate the social implications of black women's poverty in this country and offer an understanding of thriving that can address their suffering and alienation."
-- Excerpted from the Introduction (pgs. 3, 4, 8 & 10)
In this age of mega-churches and prosperity theology, it is natural to wonder how many members of the black clergy even bother to minister to the needs of the least of the their brethren anymore. That question came to intrigue Professor Keri Day, Director of Black Church Studies at Brite Divinity School, after noting that Christianity is now a very different experience for sisters, depending on their social class.
While many black females have been fortunate enough to make the leap to the middle and upper-classes, the bulk remain poor with less and less hope for deliverance from their plight. In her book, Unfinished Business, Dr. Day outlines a plan to return to the times when poverty was a primary concern of the Black Church.
Annotated and academic in tone, this informative opus struck this critic as written more for a college-educated crowd than a mass audience. That being said, the feminist author does approach her subject-matter with an admirable zeal, making a case on behalf of not only black females but of women of any ethnicity who find themselves on the outside looking-in when it comes to capitalism.
For instance, she refers to the Welfare System as the "New Jane Crow" because it fails to address structural inequities in the American economy. That's why she calls upon the Church to address a culture that "stigmatizes poor black women as deviant."
Dr. Day's fervent hope is that "By promoting socially-conscious capitalism among black businesses and capitalists, black churches can develop a theology of holistic prosperity that considers the thriving of all members within society." Sadly, that's apt to prove easier said than done in the face of an economic system all too comfortable with exploiting the human condition.

The Food Truck Challenge
By Meny Hoffman // Company Culture, Let's Talk Business // 5 min read
Recently, I took the Ptex Team on a surprise outing just a few doors down from our office. We came to a large, empty hall with chairs arranged in a circle. As the team filed in, no one knew what was going on, why they were there, or what we'd be doing.
Then, our moderator explained that we would spend the afternoon competing in "The Food Truck Challenge." We divided into four teams and each team was tasked to create their own food truck according to their assigned cuisine (Mediterranean, Asian, South American, and desserts), complete with branding and marketing, three dishes plated for 20 people, and of course, the truck itself. Everyone had a blast!

For this edition of People of Ptex, I sat down with branding and marketing maven Elke Taussig, also known around the office as The Brand Whisperer. Elke is one of the longest time members of the Ptex Group family—she's been around since the early days, when Ptex was still Printex, and has seen the organization grow into what it's become today. A deep thinker and creative wordsmith, Elke knows how to get to the essential core of, well, pretty much anything. In this interview, Elke and I discuss the meaning of branding, what she loves most about her job at Ptex, and what it's like to be a religious Jewish woman in the business world.

Here's a scary thought: Try and picture a world without email.
Spooky, no?
Indeed, it's hard to fathom our world functioning as we know it without the wonder that is email. It's cheap, it's fast, it's convenient, it's just… easy. Few words can be as harrowing and bone-chilling for a business as "email is down."
But for all its immeasurable benefits, there is a dark side to email. One that can eat away at the very core of any business – even the most successful.

Ptex recently received quite a compliment. As of July, we are officially certified as a Great Place to Work® business.
To receive this prestigious accolade, GPW asked our employees to participate in their anonymous survey on their feelings regarding the workplace environment, culture, management, etc. and how it affected – positively or negatively – their job performance. I myself was not allowed to take part in this.
The unanimously positive results of the survey was quite touching.
Kill the Manager!

Now before everyone gets up in arms, I'm certainly not advocating violence in any shape or form. But I do want to bring attention to a fundamental issue that, unfortunately, tends to get skated over a bit.
It's no secret that company culture is a critical element to success in any business. It's a huge reason for the success of companies such as Google, Zappos, and Southwest Airlines. Quality employees and valuable clients alike are attracted to a place with a vibrant, positive culture.
Great culture starts at the top. Those in executive and managerial positions have the power to set the tone for the workplace environment. It's an enormous, far-reaching responsibility, because the environment they create will ultimately determine the quality of the employees and the business they attract. Guess that's why they're paid the big bucks.
There is a common denominator that all companies with great culture tend to share: they understand that there is a difference between managing and leading.
Business Lessons from 30,000 Feet
I'm always amazed how the greatest business insights can sometimes come from the most unexpected places.
On a recent flight back from Israel, I struck up a conversation with one of the stewards. We made a little small talk, and soon our chat turned to his job. During the course of our discussion, he lamented to me that, although he always tried to be friendly to every passenger, he had no real business incentive to be cordial.
He described the startling lack of employee appreciation. There was no recognition from his superiors for better customer service. No compliment for going the extra mile. Positive feedback was from passengers, not superiors. The only way to get noticed? Publish something foolish on social media. Boy, would that work!
Instead, he explained, the employee growth module of this airline was, essentially, "survival of the fittest." Been here for 4 years? Congratulations on lasting this long, here's a raise.
This is a very troubling and flawed model.

To accommodate big jets a girder bridge helped extend the runway 4,000 feet at Madeira International Airport on an island of this nation.
The answer wasn't that important to me. But it's Portugal.
I could hardly get over that picture. Here's another shot.
I think I could walk and even drive on this bridge, on the inside lane of course, but landing on a bridge and so close to the water, would surely make me feel stressed.
Such an ingenious design that in 2004 it was granted the Outstanding Structure Award by the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering.
I've seen the structure referred to as a platform or described as a runway that sits on stilts. A bridge by another name is still a bridge to me.
