The next few days, Callie looked for her mother's treasure box every chance she got, but still the hiding place eluded her. If only her mother had told them where she was putting it.
On this day, Callie started a systematic search the minute Rand went outside to tear off rotted boards from the barn in preparation for repairs. With the two horses, a cow, and now a dog, he needed a place for them that wasn't about ready to fall down. He'd already put in an order for some lumber. The new sawmill in Battle Creek would have it cut and ready for pickup in a week.
She thought it smart of him to order only what he needed a little at a time. But then, Rand was not missing anything in the brains department.
Her search for the treasure chest resumed in the downstairs rooms. She checked for loose floorboards and fireplace bricks. Then she began running her fingers along the walls for hidden compartments. Having no furniture yet made it easy, especially with Toby outside with Rand and Biscuit.
When nothing came to light, she stood back and tried to put herself in her mother's shoes. She doubted the woman would've buried it outside, because of the heavy rains that summer. Due to the soggy ground, they'd had to wait three days to bury Nora Quinn Powers. She remembered how impatient her stepfather had been, the way he'd railed at everyone.
Looking back now, she realized the reason he'd fought the delay had been because he intended to marry Liza as soon as possible. That meant he'd known the socialite months, maybe even a year, before his wife died.
And he'd had the nerve to chastise and lock Callie in the basement for three days for letting Marcus Wolfforth kiss her after he'd given that louse Andrew Jameson permission to come courting. Fury swept through her.
She ran to her room and jerked on the coat that Rand had bought. She had to find her mother's grave. She wouldn't waste another second.
Marching to the barn, she stopped to gather Toby. "Let's go for a walk."
"Where to?" The boy squinted up at her.
Callie's breath caught in her throat. He was the spitting image of Nate Fleming, right down to the same mannerisms. Even had his father's way of walking. Toby would be very handsome one day.
God, just don't let him be an outlaw.
Rand leaned against the side of the barn, watching. Though the breeze carried a chill, he'd removed his jacket and now wiped beads of sweat from his forehead. The muscles in his upper arms strained his shirt.
Riveted by the sight of both boy and rancher, she struggled to get her thoughts back on track. "Exploring. Who knows what we might find. At the least we'll have an adventure."
"Can Biscuit come?"
"Absolutely. I'll bet she's an expert at finding hidden things."
"Don't go too far," Rand cautioned in a low voice. "I've noticed a lot of mountain-lion tracks lately."
"Thanks. We'll stay close."
Toby laid down the hammer and they set off. A faint recollection of the house being visible from the gravesite gave her the general vicinity. While they trekked through the trees, she kept a sharp eye out for predators, both the wild and the outlaw kind.
Again, relying on an eight-year-old's faded memory proved quite a task. She'd scoured several areas before Toby accidentally stumbled over it. With a cry, he landed face-first in a pile of dead leaves and dank earth. She brushed him off while Biscuit licked his face as though checking for injuries.
Though Edmund Powers had promised to put a headstone on the grave, the only thing marking it was the cross fashioned from rocks that she and Claire had laid on top of the burial spot.
Tears pricked her eyes and trickled down her cheeks. Her mother deserved more than to be forgotten and betrayed by a faithless husband.
Kneeling, she ran her hands lovingly over the crude marker.
Toby stood watching. "Ma'am? Why are you sad? It's only some dumb ol' rocks."
Callie wished she could explain, but the youngster wasn't old enough to understand yet that his grandmother's bones lay beneath the soil. She smiled up at Toby. "I know, but they're arranged in a pretty cross."
"Who did it?"
"Your mother and I."
"She did? Why?"
"To mark the spot so we could find it." Callie got to her feet and draped an arm around the boy's shoulders.
"I'm sad too," Toby said. "I miss Mama."
Callie kissed the top of his head. "So do I."
"Aunt Callie, why do people have to die, anyway?"
"I wish I knew. I wish I knew." A strangled sob rose.
Then the brush rustled. Something was coming into the small clearing.
Her heart pounded as she looked around for a weapon.
"Get behind me, Toby." She pushed him away from the danger, though a mountain lion would make quick work of her and get him anyway. Still, she'd give her all to protect him.
Relief swept through her when Rand emerged from the thicket with a rifle.
She turned and brushed away the lingering tears before she faced him.
"Got worried about you," he said, peering curiously at her. "Is everything all right?"
"We're fine. Thanks for coming."
"We found a cross," Toby piped up.
"You don't say." He moved around Callie to look at it. "I didn't know this was here. Wonder who put it there?"
"My mama an' aunt."
Callie could've strangled the boy. Toby looked so pleased with himself and what he'd divulged. "It's nothing. We'd better get back. I just remembered I was going to bake a pie for supper."
"A pie! Oh boy!" Toby gave a whoop and a holler.
"Come then. The day's going fast," she said, moving toward the house. When she noticed Rand wasn't behind them, she turned. "You coming, Rand?"
"I'll be along. Want to check for signs of mountain lions." He was staring curiously at the grave though and not looking for wild-animal tracks at all.
She kicked herself for not being more careful. He was too smart. The truth she'd sought to hide was most certainly going to be uncovered.
And she didn't know how to stop it.
Rand's gaze followed Callie. Only when she disappeared from view did he turn back to the grave. He'd heard everything. No wonder Toby always called her ma'am and not mama. He wasn't her child—the boy was her nephew. Though she hadn't exactly lied, she'd let him think that the boy was hers. Probably to protect them.
So, who was Toby's mother and how had she died?
And who rested in this grave?
He'd seen Callie's tears, though she'd been quick to turn away. The person buried here was very special to her.
Did that mean that Callie had once lived here on this land?
This grave and the fact she'd picked the Last Hope as a hideout told him that it was very possible. And the possibility existed that she might even have a claim to the property. He wasn't sure how he felt about that.
He knew he wouldn't fight her for it. If this land belonged to her, she could have it.
It bothered him that she wouldn't confide in him, though. How could he protect her and Toby with his hands tied behind his back?
A deep sigh rose. Maybe he should talk to Cooper and Brett about the matter. A person without anything to gain out of this dilemma could assess it more calmly.
Over the next hour, he built a makeshift fence around the plot. It simply seemed the thing to do. When he got back to the house, he laid his rifle within reach and resumed removing the rotten boards from the barn. He didn't see any sign of Callie or Toby or the dog. Probably in the house. Thoughts of hot apple pie for supper made him work faster.
His mind kept returning to what he'd learned and he wondered what he should do. Confront Callie or pretend he hadn't seen or heard anything?
If he told her what he knew and suspected, he was sure she'd run. She'd certainly threatened to if he started digging.
The pretty lady had his back up against the wall. She held all the cards. What was worse…she knew it.
Damnation!
He caught movement out of the corner of his eye and reached for the rifle before he recognized Brett. "Howdy, brother. A whole ranch full of prime horseflesh and you're walking?"
Brett grinned. "Needed the exercise. Gettin' fat."
Rand took in Brett's lean body. "Yeah, I can see that. I do think I see a fat head up there."
"If that's supposed to get my goat, you need to try again."
The leather bundle strapped on Brett's back and the long poles his brother dragged behind him drew Rand's curiosity. "What's that you're hauling? Did you decide to become a nomad?"
Brett removed the bundle. "This is for young Toby. I recalled how special mine is to me when I got it last year after deciding to embrace my roots. Thought I'd set it up here in the yard for him to play in. Pretending to be an Indian is a sight better than playing outlaws."
"I agree. But if you think his mama will let him sleep out here in a tepee, you need to lay off the peyote."
"Miss Callie does seem awful protective."
"Probably with good reason." Rand told him about the grave and what he'd learned. "I'm not sure what I should do now."
"Nothing. Let her come to you. If you go to her with demands, she'll blow up like a mule with a belly full of green apples. Most likely she'll leave."
"I wish she'd trust me."
"She does, she just doesn't know it yet. If the lady didn't, she'd never have agreed to stay for even a little while."
"How did you get to be the smart one, Brett?"
"When I decided you, Cooper, and me would become a family."
"Oh no, I decided that. You can't take the credit. And I'm also the best-looking."
Brett raised a dark eyebrow. "Says who?"
"Says the one who hasn't decided he's fat."
Toby barreled out the kitchen door, trailed by Biscuit. "What'cha doin'?"
"Hi, pardner." Brett ruffled Toby's dark hair. "I brought you something."
"Your very own tepee."
"To keep?" Toby's eyes widened and his big grin spread.
"Maybe. We'll see how it goes. If you mind your elders, you can keep it. If not, I'll have to take it back."
"I'm the best boy in the whole world."
Brett's grunt seemed to say that time would tell as he arranged twelve long poles on the ground and began tying the tops of three together with a length of rawhide. "Where do you want to put this, Rand?"
"Let's move it over by the woodpile, where it's out of the way." He was going to be the only white man with an Indian tepee on his ranch. How had this sorry state of affairs come to pass? But he wouldn't say no. It meant too much to Brett and to Toby.
Callie came from the house looking fit to be tied. "Hello, Brett. I hope this isn't what it looks like."
"Miss Callie, I wanted something special for Toby to play in, that's all. If you draw the line at him sleeping out here, that's all right. It's up to you to decide when and how often you want the boy to use it." Brett gave her a smile. "I'd never undermine you."
"This could be very magical to a child," Rand said gently.
"Please, ma'am?" Toby begged. "I wanna be an Indian."
Biscuit gave a loud whine and spun around in a circle as though she too was adding her two cents' worth.
"Please?" Toby persisted.
When she lifted her eyes to Rand, he gave her a lopsided grin and a wink. Getting tangled up in her warm whiskey gaze could be quite pleasurable, he found.
"Oh, all right." Callie threw up her hands. "But I won't have you sleeping out here, young man. You'll play in it only when I give you permission. And you'll have chores to do each day before you can play. Understand?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"It's too dangerous out here at night anyway, with that mountain lion hanging around," Rand said. "I'll keep an eye on him during the day. I don't want you to worry."
Toby hugged Callie, then threw his arms around Brett's waist. "Thank you. I'm glad we came here."
Brett returned Toby's hug, then knelt to rub Biscuit's head. "Now tell me where you got such a fine-looking animal."
Rand stood watching the pint-sized squirt relay what little facts he knew. He already loved this little kid. Whatever had happened to them, it made him happy that he could help bring a light to the boy's eyes. He remembered how dull they'd been when he'd first found them in the run-down bunkhouse last week. His mind turned back time to the days following his, Cooper's, and Brett's escape from the orphan train. To avoid detection, they'd slept during the day and traveled by the light of the moon, eating food whenever they found some or managed to kill a rabbit or squirrel. Cooper was always the one to watch over them and fight when things called for it. He'd once tried to kill Tolbert Early in a bathhouse for attacking Brett.
Toby had that same protective instinct. Rand only prayed he could help the boy stay a boy a while longer. Once he became a man, he could never go back.
"Where are you, brother?" Brett asked.
"Just thinking that you'd best explain what we need to do."
With Biscuit supervising and pretty much getting in the way, they all pitched in erecting the tepee, which was made from buffalo hides.
Working side by side with Callie proved to be the best part. Each time their hands touched, a current ran up Rand's arm. He couldn't imagine what might happen if the touching involved a bed and the scent of night around them. He'd probably just explode faster than a load of nitroglycerin. Likely find pieces of him three states over.
The haunted look had begun to fade from her eyes a little, and she wasn't as tense and anxious as when they first arrived.

Life as a New Parent
I Hate Being a Mom, But I Love My Kid
Frustrated and exhausted from taking care of her newborn, Erin* worried she just wasn't cut out for motherhood—until she realized she wasn't alone.
By Erin Wilson*, as told to Rebecca Macatee
Caitlin-Marie Miner Ong.
I feel bad even thinking it, let alone saying it out loud, but it's true: I hate being a mom. I do love my 3-month-old daughter—she's adorable and sweet and everything you could ever want in a baby. But I miss my world before her, and I hate knowing that the rest of my life is going to be dictated by someone else's needs.
It'll get easier, I know. She'll become less dependent on me for every little thing, and eventually, she won't even need me (at least, that's the plan). Everyone tells you how fast it all goes by and that you should savor every second of this newborn stage. But I truly hate spending every single moment feeding the baby, changing her, getting her to sleep, trying to entertain her...I want my old life back, where I was organized and did things on my own schedule.
I didn't even use to want kids, but when I turned 30, my stupid biological clock kicked in. My husband and I tried for two whole years to get pregnant, and when we finally did, I was so happy and excited and just joyful. Then, my daughter was born, and it all kind of hit me at once: My old life is over—at least for the next 18 years or so. I now don't know if I am cut out for motherhood.
Science Says Give Yourself a Break: It's OK to Be a Good-Enough Mom
I had a bout of the baby blues postpartum, but I don't think that's what this is. Things have gotten better between the first month and the third, but the improvement isn't as drastic as I'd hoped. It's not that I don't love my baby; it's just that I don't feel very attached to my role as a mom.
What makes it worse, I think, is that it seems like I'm not allowed to feel like this. I can talk to my husband about this stuff, but he's struggling with the whole first-time parent thing, too. If I even hint to anyone else that motherhood isn't all sunshine and rainbows, though, I'm met with awkward silences or the generic, "Just wait until they start teething/enjoy it now because this time will fly by" responses.
I understand where people are coming from, but sometimes a person—even a mom—just needs to vent. And after one particularly trying day home alone with my daughter, that's just what I did. Only rather than calling up a friend and wondering whether this whole becoming a mom thing was a mistake, I shared my feelings with strangers on the internet and posted to Reddit.
8 Things Not To Say to the Mom of a Big Baby
It was cathartic, really, because I just needed to get it all off my chest. As much as I love my daughter, I don't enjoy being a mom. I was a little scared people would come at me in the comments and say I was a monster, but I was actually met with overwhelming support. Turns out, a lot of parents feel similarly and also wonder if maybe having kids was a mistake. That doesn't make them awful parents or bad people—it just means they're honest.
It's been so encouraging to hear other parents talking about their doubts and frustrations, too. And after hearing from other moms who struggled with the newborn stage, I really do think now I'll start enjoying motherhood more once my daughter is a little older and her personality starts to shine through.
In the meantime, my daughter is loved and well taken care of. Many people asked if I was suffering from postpartum depression, but after talking to several moms who've had it, I don't think I am. That said, I do feel empowered now to speak up to my doctor about what I'm experiencing. There's no shame in having moments of wondering whether I'm just not cut out for motherhood.
A Postpartum Depression Timeline: When It Starts and How Long It Can Last
It does sadden me that while I got such support from other parents online, this is still somewhat of a taboo topic in real life. So many of us are struggling with similar feelings about motherhood, but we don't feel like it's something we can talk about. If we did, I think a lot of other new mothers could avoid feeling alone. I hope I can be a small part of starting the conversation.

The Callosity Whale is part of The Whale Collection. It's a right whale and known for its patches that grows on the front of its head. I believe that imperfections and "grains of salt" as I call them, are what makes life and our visual world interesting, and perhaps these callosities are just what makes me fall in love with the right whale over and over again.
The Callosity Whale is a hand painted watercolor which has been printed on fine and paper, 300gsm, with a gorgeous off white tone. The larger sizes 50x70cm and 70x100cm are printed on a beautifully matte 170 gsm paper. You will find the motif as landscape in several different sizes. All prints are locally painted and produced in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Facebook to buy WhatsApp
Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook has agreed to buy mobile-messaging startup WhatsApp in a $19 billion cash and stock deal.
WhatsApp serves more than 450 million users – adding an estimated 1 million users per day – and the acquisition moves Facebook closer to its goal of becoming the leader in the mobile messaging market.
The initial deal is worth $16 billion and Facebook will grant an additional $3 billion worth of restricted stock units to WhatsApp's founders.
These include Jan Koum, co-founder and CEO at WhatsApp, who will also join the board at Facebook as part of the agreement.
Messaging applications like WhatsApp bypass the need to pay carriers for messaging services and have been growing in popularity at a phenomenal pace worldwide.
Eden Zoller, principal analyst of consumer telecoms at Ovum, said that the acquisition will help Facebook to grow its mobile footprint.
"Innovation in mobile services and capabilities are imperative," Zoller said.
"WhatsApp will enhance Facebook's mobile strategy and make the service grow faster and be stickier with mobile first users," Zoller said.
Ovum statistics expect operator-based mobile messaging traffic to peak at 7.7 trillion messages this year, and begin to decline in 2015 at 7.6 trillion.
"SMS volumes were higher than social messaging volumes in 2012, but in 2013 messaging apps took a big leap forward and overtook traffic," Zoller said.
"We can expect strong growth in traffic to continue in the coming years."
Facebook has promised to keep the WhatsApp brand and has pledged a $1 billion cash break-up fee – incidentally the same amount it paid for photo-sharing app Instagram in 2012 – if the deal falls through.
The social media mogul was first rumoured to be eyeing WhatsApp in December 2012.

Q: Where is my app.config file? I have built a server api that consists aith 3 projects:
Api(an api project) that calles BL(class library) that calls Dal(class library).
Very standard.
It works perfectly locally.
Now when I publish it, the app.config of the BL disappears.
Why is it? Where can I store my configurable parameters?
Thank you very much. Tal

A: On your main project ASP.NET, use the Web.Config instead of App.Config to make it work.

A: app.config is only the name during development, once the project is built the app.config is copied to .config and this is what is used by the application when running
An asp.net application reads config from web.config so if you have an app.config it implies that your project is not a web project but a standard library or executable.
if it is a library (.dll) then you should place your config in the web.config (if the library is used by asp.net) or in the .config if its a standard executable.
Ideally your libraries should not read settings as this creates a hidden coupling between the library and config files, and it would be better to provide those configuration parameters to the classes that need them in the library externally, this then leaves the application using the library free to store them where ever is most appropriate.
How is the consumer of your library going to know that they need to add SettingX to the appsettings of their configuration file? Better for the library to require the setting value directly. So if your DAL needs a connection string then the class which wants a connection string should ask for it in their constructor. Then the application using it can get it from settings (or whereever) and pass it to the library., and the consumers have visibility of the dependency on the connection string. If the library reads it from config the consumer has no way to know that this is something they need add to the settings
So in a web app the startup would read the settings from web.config and pass them to your library but some other app using the same library could store them in a database if they wanted.

As announced last month, today I've released the next two Deleted Domain Lists. You can now find Deleted .fr and .nl Domains on ExpiredDomains.net. I'm still figuring out stuff about those tlds, but it is working to a point where it is usable. Hope you like it.
Released .eu, .be, .fr and .nl Domains in the Pending Delete List.
Notice: The Dropdate shown is not verified! If you want to Backorder or Snap a Domain yourself, you have to verify it yourself!
Disabled the Deleted .nu Domain List, because my Droplist for that disappeared.
Added a new filter "only new last 30 days".
Added some more Registrars to the Preferred Domain Registrar list.
If you contacted be about adding a Registrar and it is still not there, then it is not possible at the moment. Some Registrars do not support Domain Availability using a GET request and that makes a redirect impossible.
Created a new Portuguese language file. The results should be a lot better now.
I'm still working on increasing the .co.uk Droplist and with that the number of Domains in the Deleted .uk Domain List.
The delete cycle change of .de Domains should be coming up soon. I've prepared for that already and hopefully the transition will be smooth.
.es: There is no public whois server available for .es domains. That makes availability checks impossible for me.
As always if you have suggestions or find any bugs, please let me know.

Q: TTY in perl, explaination and some examples So I am trying run a perl debugger inside another perl debugger. I keep readin tty in perl is the solution. Can someone explain to me what tty means ( is it terminal type?) and how is it useful? This is where I read it:
http://search.cpan.org/~rjbs/perl-5.18.0/lib/perl5db.pl#$CreateTTY
The reason I am trying to use tty is because of this question I asked:
Pass argument to perl file in debugger and set breakpoint in file executed by system
Thanks to all the ones who answer, the more you guys tell me what it is, better the idea I get :)

A: TTY (short for teletype) is basically a special input or output filehandle that connects to the terminal - namely, user input. For nitty gritty details, see:

*

*Unix.SE in-depth answer on TTYs

*Text Terminal HOWTO

This is what you need to know for starters (hard to say more since you didn't explain what you need to do with a TTY):

*

*On Unix, it typically maps to /dev/tty device or similar

*You can test for it using -t in Perl

As far as debugger, 2 things need to be known at least (if you intend to play with the TTY, the last paragraph is the most important). All data is near-quoted from perldoc perldebug

*

*p expr prints to $DB::OUT filehandle (NOT STDOUT), which in turn is open to /dev/tty.
I think this may be controlled by LineInfo option from PERLDB_OPTS but never played with it so not sure.

*Can be affected by the following $ENV{PERLDB_OPTS} options:

*

*TTY - The TTY to use for debugging I/O.

*noTTY - If set, the debugger goes into NonStop mode and will not connect to a TTY. If interrupted (or if control goes to the debugger via explicit setting of $DB::signal or $DB::single from the Perl script), it connects to a TTY specified in the TTY option at startup, or to a tty found at runtime using the Term::Rendezvous module of your choice.
This module should implement a method named new that returns an object with two methods: IN and OUT . These should return filehandles to use for debugging input and output correspondingly. The new method should inspect an argument containing the value of $ENV{PERLDB_NOTTY} at startup, or "$ENV{HOME}/.perldbtty$$" otherwise. This file is not inspected for proper ownership, so security hazards are theoretically possible.

Issue Four: A Seminary Dean on TREC's Proposals
Print edition: Issue Four, for Saturday, June 27
"TREC's Seminary Proposals? They Are Already in Place"
by the Very Rev. Roger Ferlo, President of Bexley Seabury Federation.
"Latino/Hispanic Ministries and the Future of the Episcopal Church"
by Aisha Huertas Michel, Communications Director, Episcopal Diocese of Virginia
"Baptism before Communion and Hospitality to Seekers Are Not Mutually Exclusive"
by the Rev. Justin McIntosh, Rector, Leeds Parish, Markham, Va.
"Humans of General Convention" (separate blog post)
by the Center Aisle staff
I enjoy the odd distinction of running an Episcopal seminary without benefit of a seminary degree. Thirty years ago, having escaped relatively unscathed from a terminal junior faculty appointment at an Ivy League college, with both a Ph.D. and considerable debt in hand, I spent a splendid, if somewhat tumultuous, four semesters at General Seminary, a place where splendor and tumultuousness have historically gone with the territory.
So as a quasi-seminary-trained priest with a lifelong habit of self-motivated learning, I know from my own experience that there has always been more than one way to prepare intellectually and spiritually for leadership in the church. I applaud the spirit of the proposed resolution from the Task Force on Re-Imagining the Episcopal Church (TREC) seeking increased flexibility and accountability in theological education. But the good news is that the kinds of flexibility and accountability envisioned in the TREC report are already in place, and in fact are hallmarks of our seminaries as 21st century institutions.
To find out more, I would invite you to download one of our course catalogues, or to visit our websites or our booths here at convention. Better yet, talk to one of our students. Register for an online or hybrid course, and experience the unique community of learners that a combined online and face-to-face format can create. Enroll in a course with students drawn from one of our many ecumenical partner seminaries, or sign up for one of our executive leadership programs taught in collaboration with one of the country's leading schools of non-profit management. Take one of our graduate courses in leadership theory and practice, or community organizing, or strategies of evangelism, or methods of conflict resolution.
Join us as we explore the possibilities of an M.Div. degree based on two years of intensive academic work followed by a two-year-long parish curacy in a teaching parish. This new direction in seminary education promises to revolutionize clergy training, while strengthening those congregations, chaplaincies and Episcopal institutions that seek to take a more creative hand in shaping what it means to be a person called to full-time or bi-vocational ministry.
You might have seen the unanimous joint communiqué we issued after our January meeting, at which all seminary presidents – from Episcopal Divinity School to Nashotah to General Theological Seminary to Trinity – were present. Our seminary deans and presidents have a long history of collegiality: a spirit of community and mutual support—and, occasionally, generous critique—which has been especially helpful in this time of crisis for two of our institutions.
The Episcopal seminary deans following their January meeting.
So I would urge that the first sentence of the TREC resolution be amended to encourage our seminaries to continue to develop new platforms for learning and increased accessibility.
A more serious flaw in the TREC report and resolution, though, is the assumption it makes about who bears responsibility for oversight and assessment of our seminaries. As accredited institutions, all 10 of our Episcopal seminaries are held accountable to rigorous regional and national standards of assessment, reporting and peer review. These assessment vehicles and their yearly results are public record. Along with Episcopal schools, which are held to equally rigorous accreditation standards, Episcopal seminaries exercise more robust assessment practices than, say, parish- or diocesan-based formation programs or programs of continuing education, for which standards of assessment and accountability present a continuing and growing challenge.
The resolution incorrectly assumes that either Executive Council or General Convention as a whole has a mandate or right to exercise some sort of supervisory authority over these schools. This has never been the case. I would strongly urge that this part of the resolution be dropped. The Episcopal Church, unlike many other Protestant denominations, provides no financial support of the seminaries. As independent institutions of higher learning, Episcopal seminaries answer to their boards of directors or boards of trustees. These boards invariably include a large number of bishops, all of whom are keenly aware of the seminaries' (and their students') fiscal challenges in the new century, and who provide our boards with an essential lifeline to the needs of the new Church now emerging.
Theological education is a process of radical adaptive change throughout North America, not just in the Episcopal Church. The real formation crisis in the church lies in the challenge of recruiting a racially and ethnically diverse cohort of candidates for lay and ordained leadership in a very different church than the one I was ordained to serve 30 years ago. In my experience, our seminaries have been able to adapt to these changes much more rapidly than the Church at large.
Re-imagining leadership formation is what we are all about these days. It is time to recognize that we are all in this together, for the sake of the Gospel.
Roger Ferlo is president of the Bexley Hall Seabury Western Theological Seminary Federation (Bexley Seabury). He also serves as president of the Board of Trustees of the Anglican Theological Review, and is the former chair of the Board of Governors of the National Association of Episcopal Schools. He is a priest of the Diocese of New York, and licensed to officiate in the Diocese of Chicago, where he lives with his wife Anne Harlan in Hyde Park.
Read the joint communique from the Episcopal seminary deans, referenced above.
For years, millions of Latino/Hispanic immigrants and their children have been an integral part of the U.S. population. In fact, today they comprise 17.1 percent of our population, making people of Latino/Hispanic origin the largest ethnic minority in our country today. Latinos will make up nearly 30 percent of the U.S. population by the year 2060 (statistics from U.S. Census Bureau).
This population boom has businesses and organizations paying attention and thinking strategically about how to engage these communities. The Church is also engaged in the work of determining how it can respond to the needs of this community and involve its members in the ministry of the Church. As General Convention prepares to elect a new presiding bishop, Episcopal Latino/Hispanics are paying close attention to the PB nominees' vision for their communities.
All of the nominees are aware of this growing need and have already engaged in some of the work. The Rt. Rev. Thomas E. Breidenthal, bishop of Southern Ohio, says he has high hopes for the work of the Church in the Latino/Hispanic ministries. "I'm interested in how to bring that community into the light and into the presence, particularly to provide a sense of safety and refuge for the undocumented who are particularly afraid of being seen."
The Rt. Rev. Dabney T. Smith, bishop of Southwest Florida, sees a "wonderful growth for the Latino/Hispanic ministry in the Episcopal Church." Southwest Florida has a number of initiatives to reach out to this community, including a program that teaches Spanish to first respondents so they can better treat people in need of critical assistance.
Speaking more broadly about their hope for Latino/Hispanic ministries, the Rt. Rev. Ian T. Douglas, bishop of Connecticut, and the Rt. Rev. Michael B. Curry, bishop of North Carolina, each had thoughts about the way in which Latino/Hispanics enrich our community of faith. Bishop Curry shared his vision of an Episcopal Church that will look like the face of all of our people, and stated that when the Episcopal Church resembles those faces, "then we are truly catholic and truly universal." Echoing that sentiment, Bishop Douglas shared, "My hope and prayer are that Latino/Hispanic people among us will continue to claim their space, speak their truth in joy and help us all live into the fullness of what it means to be the body of Christ."
Of course, the Episcopal Church has struggled with including Latinos, both at the parish level with involving Latino/Hispanic members in mostly white congregations, and at the diocesan and national level with including Latino/Hispanic leaders in governance. Center Aisle will take a deeper look at some of these struggles in a later issue.
Regardless of what Saturday's election determines as to who will be the next leader of the Episcopal Church, it is important, not just that our presiding bishop has a vision for the Latino/Hispanic community, but also that all Episcopalians, clergy and lay people alike share in a vision of a Church that is diverse, inclusive, and open and inviting to all people.
Should we invite unbaptized individuals to receive Holy Communion, the consecrated bread and wine? Although Canon 1.17.7 currently forbids this practice, many Episcopal churches nevertheless explicitly welcome all people – baptized and unbaptized – to receive the body and blood of our Lord. Proponents assert that limiting communion to the baptized is inhospitable and unwelcoming, which is antithetical to the example of Jesus, who ate with all people, even "sinners and tax collectors" (Mark 2:13-17). Additionally, they argue that the canonical restriction is an impediment to evangelism: If we don't practice open table, the common name for administering the elements to all, then we turn away unbaptized seekers who are eager to learn more about Jesus and the Church.
At Leeds Parish in Markham, Va., where I serve as rector, we seek to be an inclusive, welcoming community. Our mission statement makes this clear by stating that we "welcome all seekers." Undoubtedly, like all congregations, we could do more, but we are unequivocally committed to the principle that the Gospel is for all people—no exceptions. And yet, our normative practice is to restrict communion to the baptized. Is this a contradiction? I don't think so.
Jesus absolutely calls us to be practitioners of radical hospitality – to transcend the tribalism of our society – but I think that we misread Scripture when we view Jesus' table fellowship with seekers as the model for Holy Communion. I believe the right model is the traditional one: the meal our Lord first shared with his disciples on the night before his death.
We err when we conflate seekers and disciples. The former are still searching; they are on the sidelines. The latter have made the commitment (or had it made on their behalf as infants) and they have experienced the transforming grace of God through baptism. Seekers and disciples are simply in different places with regard to the Body of Christ. It's not exclusionary to acknowledge that distinction.
Our general policy is to limit communion to the baptized, but I should note that I am not fanatically rigid about it (e.g., I don't examine baptismal certificates) and, on very rare occasions, I will make exceptions for pastoral reasons. If this approach hindered evangelism in my ministry, I might question it. But to the best of my knowledge, it has never led any seeker to walk away from Leeds. We are able to offer a welcoming and inviting experience on Sunday mornings without open table.
Leeds, like many parishes, prints a full bulletin. If a parish wants to be genuinely welcoming on Sunday mornings, making our ritual more accessible is a good place to start. I offer the following welcome message, picked up from the parish that confirmed me: "Whoever you are, and wherever you find yourself on the journey of faith, you are welcome here, just as you are, to receive the blessings of new life in Jesus Christ." Both the baptized and unbaptized are welcome to kneel at the altar rail, whether they come for communion or a blessing. I encourage the unbaptized, both in person and in the bulletin, to talk with me if they feel called to baptism.
Leeds is not only for Christian disciples; a person need not make a commitment to Christ to participate in our worship and ministries. We invite all people to hear the Word of God and to let it penetrate their hearts and souls.
The last thing I want is for anyone to think that baptism is only for some people and not others. As Jesus directs us: "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19-20a). He doesn't say "some nations" or "some people," but "all nations." Baptism is open to all.
It may be that open table is necessary to be inclusive and welcoming in some ministry contexts, but I have my doubts. Nevertheless, what I do know is that it is not necessary in all ministry contexts. Leeds Parish is living the radical hospitality of Jesus without undermining the centrality of baptism. It can be done.
Tomorrow, Center Aisle will feature the perspective of a rector whose parish practices open table.

WBC/WBA/WBO super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez will face Caleb Plant on November 6 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Photo: David Becker/Getty Images via AFP
Boxing fans are in for a treat as SuperSport screens first-ever world unified super-middleweight title bout
By Staff Reporter Nov 4, 2021
Johannesburg - Canelo Alvarez returns to the bright lights of Las Vegas this weekend for another big-money fight layered in history and drama.
In the first instance, he will be seeking to become the first-ever unified super-middleweight champion. To do so, he will have to overcome Caleb Plant, the IBF title-holder, who laid down a marker of sorts when the pair got into a heated scuffle at a media event six weeks ago.
The action will be broadcast live on Sunday, starting at 3am, on SuperSport Variety 1 and Grandstand. It will also be streamed on Showmax Pro.
The pair don't like one another, not least because Plant hasn't been shy to talk about Alvarez's history with PEDs, something the Mexican great has taken great offence to. The fight hardly needed spice, but it's done no harm in ratcheting up the energy.
Not only is Plant unbeaten, taller and gifted with good footwork and a style that could give Alvarez problems, but he also's confident and has a great team.

Hardly anyone is giving him a chance, however, because Alvarez is no ordinary opponent. He's unbeaten since his lone loss (versus Floyd Mayweather Jnr) in 2013 and sits atop the mythical pound-for-pound rankings.
He's a relentless pressure fighter who digs hard and has a rock-solid chin. He seldom takes opponents out with a single punch, preferring the surgical approach of slowly dismantling them before delivering the coup de grace. His late-round power is frightening and he enjoys punishing rivals who think they can go toe to toe.
Moreover, Alvarez is chasing history and will be doubly determined to put on a show. His record is an automatic entry into the Hall of Fame, but at 31 he's still chasing landmarks and victories.
Plant thus represents an important milestone, albeit a dangerous one. He isn't a ferocious puncher, but his movement could present problems for Alvarez, who has had problems with slicksters in the past.
For all that, Alvarez is the house fighter for a reason. He always packs out Las Vegas and the oddsmakers love his work. The great Alvarez show ought to roll on, but not before a bump or two on another memorable night in sin city.

The Everett Program – Digital Tools for Social Innovation at the University of California, Santa Cruz merges the enthusiasm of student leaders with information technology to promote structural social change by building social networking capacity across non-governmental and community-based organizations. Everett's goal is create a new generation of "info-savvy" advocates using information technology to overcome informational exclusion–based barriers to civic participation and social justice. The learning goes both ways: While advancing the larger public good, Everett students accumulate valuable technical knowledge, while sharpening their leadership and project management skills.
TAKEAWAY QUOTES
"I got into this work…[had] sort of a broad interest in social-justice issues, both domestically and internationally, and for me that interest is really rooted in, just, I care about the future; and if you care about the future, you have to care about those populations that have been historically marginalized, because they are the future."
"That commitment to education for disadvantaged populations is fundamental for our economic future because that is, in many ways, the current workforce as well as the future workforce."
"We had 15,000 new low-wage jobs just in sort of a narrow categorization of industry categories like restaurants and other types of services. So you've got tremendous growth in those kind of jobs and just no new housing that's available for that."
"I think part of our challenge is the financing structure of local government, because in California…housing is a net drain on city resources. The cost of services to new residents in the forms of, you know, the water and sewage and electricity and garbage and fire and police and all the things going with that, the cost is higher than the local revenue that comes from property taxes."

The Ontario government passed the More Homes Built Faster Act Nov. 28 – only days after Haliburton County environmentalist Leora Berman panned the then Bill 23 during Environment Haliburton's AGM.
Berman, the founder of The Land Between and Turtle Guardians, spoke about the importance of wetlands Nov. 24 and how the bill but wetlands at risk locally and across the province. "We need to talk about Bill 23 because it puts most of Ontario at risk, and all of our good work at risk, and all of our economies at risk," Berman told about 50 people attending the AGM on Zoom.
Referencing wetlands ecologist, Nick Stowe, Berman said Bill 23, "will result in the largest destruction of wetlands since colonization."
She said that habitat destruction is particularly problematic in the Highlands since we are not blessed with variable soils, but rather fractured bedrock.
"Those wetlands are essential to regulate our water and our water supplies." She added the now endorsed regulations change the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System. Berman has interpreted those changes to mean less consideration for endangered species and the delisting of some provincially-significant wetlands since they won't qualify now.
She thinks, as a result, there will be few if any designations in future.
"The new interpretation means that you can cut off arms and legs of these wetlands, but the wetlands won't function and thrive that way and they won't be able to clean our water and be the kidney that they are without those arms and legs," she told the AGM during an extended presentation. She is also concerned that the Act, "takes the onus away from the recognized experts" at the Ministry of Natural Resources, and Forestry instead puts responsibility on the backs of municipalities that may not have the expertise.
She added it, "entirely removes the Conservation Authority's role." She believes citizens' rights have been removed, with lessened requirements for developers and councils to notify the public about proposals in their communities, "defiling our democracy" by removing doors to public comment and appeal.
Further she said the premier and minister can usurp local authority, creating biased and closed markets.
Berman also explained that the Bill takes away fees that would normally go to municipalities, yet increases demands for services that will mean more taxes paid by the community at large to pay for costs. Berman then showed pictures from the "hundreds of protests" across the province.
In receiving Royal Assent, the province said Nov. 28, the Act supports "the government's efforts to tackle the housing supply crisis and get 1.5 million homes built over the next 10 years. More Homes Built Faster removes unnecessary costs and cuts through red tape and other bottlenecks that stand in the way of new homes being built." Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Steve Clark, added, "More Homes Built Faster helps fulfill our government's promise to help more Ontarians find a home that meets their needs and budget. I am proud of the action this plan takes to increase the supply of housing of all types and restore the dream of homeownership for a generation of Ontarians."
Other AGM news
EH! president Susan Hay said going to virtual presentations had significantly increased participants.
She added EH! had been stakeholders presenting on the shoreline preservation bylaw and short-term rentals, and vice-president Terry Moore participated on the County's community climate action advisory panel.
Two long-serving directors, Carolynn Coburn and Eric Lilius, stepped down from the board of directors after serving since 2003. "We owe them a huge debt of gratitude for their leadership and dedication," Hay said. "Eric has, since the beginning of the pandemic, been our Zoom coordinator and webmaster among other roles. Carolynn has recently been our treasurer. I thank both Eric and Carolynn for their help and their service."
She noted the two were named Haliburton Highlands Land Trust Enviro Heroes in 2018. Also leaving the board is secretary Katie Paroschy. Joining the board are Christine Legge, Wilma Thomson, Tammy Kuepfer and Ryan Sisson.

Q: How to Iterate two arrays consecutively? I have two Double arrays:
double[] LatArr = {28.5700,28.4700,28.29};
double[] LonArr = {77.3200,77.0300,77.62};

And my loop structure looks like this:
for(int i=0;i<count;i++)
            {
                for(int j=0;j<count;j++)
                {
                    Double lat1;
                    Double lon1;
                    Double lat2;
                    Double lon2;
                    lat1 = LatArr[i];
                    lon1 = LonArr[j];
                    //System.out.println(LatLon[i][j]);
                    /*System.out.println("<< BREAK >>");
                    System.out.println(lat1);
                    System.out.println(lon1);
                    */
                    lat2=lat1;
                    //lat1 = null;
                    lon2=lon1;
                    //lon1 = null;
                    i++;

                    if(lat1!=null){
                    GeoPoint gp1 = new GeoPoint((int)(lat1 * 1E6), (int)(lon1 * 1E6)); //
                    GeoPoint gp2 = new GeoPoint((int)(lat2 * 1E6), (int)(lon2 * 1E6)); //
                    System.out.println("<< LAT1 >>");
                    System.out.println(lat1);
                    System.out.println(lon1);
                    System.out.println("<< LAT2 >>");
                    System.out.println(lat2);
                    System.out.println(lon2);

                    Point p11 = new Point();
                    Point p22 = new Point();

                    Path mypath = new Path();
                    projection.toPixels(gp1, p11);
                    projection.toPixels(gp2, p22);
                    mypath.moveTo(p22.x, p22.y);// *
                    mypath.lineTo(p11.x, p11.y);// *

                    canvas.drawPath(mypath, mPaint);
                    }
                }
            }

What I am trying to do is to fetch the item LatArr[0] and LonArr[0] consecutively. So that I can have the LatArr[0] in lat1 and LonArr[0] in lon1. Also the LatArr[1] should be in lat2 and LonArr[1] in lon2.
But this code fetches LatArr[0]..[1].. and LonArr[0]..[1].. twice. Every element is printed twice?Anyone please correct me, I am loosing all hope to follow this approach to draw multiple points on a map. In all this code will map the two geo points one after the another (each geopoint has latitude & longitude which are being fed from the two arrays)Any advice is much appreciated

A: If both the arrays are of same length, then use only one loop, instead of two loops, so change your code as follows:
for(int j=0;j<count;j++)
                    {
                        Double lat1;
                        Double lon1;
                        Double lat2;
                        Double lon2;
                        lat1 = LatArr[j];
                        lon1 = LonArr[j];
                        lat2=lat1;
                        //lat1 = null;
                        lon2=lon1;
                        //lon1 = null;
                       if(lat1!=null){
                        GeoPoint gp1 = new GeoPoint((int)(lat1 * 1E6), (int)(lon1 * 1E6)); //
                        GeoPoint gp2 = new GeoPoint((int)(lat2 * 1E6), (int)(lon2 * 1E6)); //
                        System.out.println("<< LAT1 >>");
                        System.out.println(lat1);
                        System.out.println(lon1);
                        System.out.println("<< LAT2 >>");
                        System.out.println(lat2);
                        System.out.println(lon2);

                        Point p11 = new Point();
                        Point p22 = new Point();

                        Path mypath = new Path();
                        projection.toPixels(gp1, p11);
                        projection.toPixels(gp2, p22);
                        mypath.moveTo(p22.x, p22.y);// *
                        mypath.lineTo(p11.x, p11.y);// *

                        canvas.drawPath(mypath, mPaint);
                        }
                    }
                }

A: Use the same index every time so that you get the same index elements from both array.
for(int i=0;i<count;i++){
  Double lat1;
  Double lon1;
  Double lat2;
  Double lon2;
  lat1 = LatArr[i];//  i th element from lat arr
  lon1 = LonArr[i];// i th element from lon arr
  ...
}

A: I don't understand, why you have two loops, try this:
for(int i=0;i<count-1;i++)
        {

                Double lat1;
                Double lon1;
                Double lat2;
                Double lon2;
                lat1 = LatArr[i];
                lon1 = LonArr[i];

                /*System.out.println("<< BREAK >>");
                System.out.println(lat1);
                System.out.println(lon1);
                */
                lat2=latArr[i+1];
                //lat1 = null;
                lon2=lonArr[i+1];
                //lon1 = null;

                if(lat1!=null){
                GeoPoint gp1 = new GeoPoint((int)(lat1 * 1E6), (int)(lon1 * 1E6)); //
                GeoPoint gp2 = new GeoPoint((int)(lat2 * 1E6), (int)(lon2 * 1E6)); //
                System.out.println("<< LAT1 >>");
                System.out.println(lat1);
                System.out.println(lon1);
                System.out.println("<< LAT2 >>");
                System.out.println(lat2);
                System.out.println(lon2);

                Point p11 = new Point();
                Point p22 = new Point();

                Path mypath = new Path();
                projection.toPixels(gp1, p11);
                projection.toPixels(gp2, p22);
                mypath.moveTo(p22.x, p22.y);// *
                mypath.lineTo(p11.x, p11.y);// *

                canvas.drawPath(mypath, mPaint);
                }

        }
