Appeal from Circuit Court, Pulaski County; R. J. Lea, Judge.
Action by F. L. Wisdom and another against T. T. Cotnam, administrator of A. M. Harrison, deceased, for services rendered by plaintiffs as surgeons to defendant's intestate. Judgment for plaintiffs. Defendant appeals. Reversed and remanded.
Instructions 1 and 2, given at the instance of plaintiffs, are as follows: (1) If you find from the evidence that plaintiffs rendered professional services as physicians and surgeons to the deceased, A. M. Harrison, in a sudden emergency following the deceased's injury in a street car wreck, in an endeavor to save his life, then you are instructed that plaintiffs are entitled to recover from the estate of the said A. M. Harrison such sum as you may find from the evidence is a reasonable compensation for the services rendered. (2) The character and importance of the operation, the responsibility resting upon the surgeon performing the operation, his experience and professional training, and the ability to pay of the person operated upon, are elements to be considered by you in determining what is a reasonable charge for the services performed by plaintiffs in the particular case.
Mehaffy, Williams & Armistead, for appellant. Moore, Smith & Moore, for appellees.
HILL, C. J. (after stating the facts).
The reporter will state the issues and substance of the testimony and set out instructions 1 and 2 given at instance of appellee, and it will be seen therefrom that instruction 1 amounted to a peremptory instruction to find for the plaintiff in some amount.
The first question is as to the correctness of this instruction. As indicated therein the facts are that Mr. Harrison, appellant's intestate, was thrown from a street car, receiving serious injuries which rendered him unconscious, and while in that condition the appellees were notified of the accident and summoned to his assistance by some spectator, and performed a difficult operation in an effort to save his life, but they were unsuccessful, and he died without regaining consciousness. The appellant says: "Harrison was never conscious after his head struck the pavement. He did not and could not, expressly or impliedly, assent to the action of the appellees. He was without knowledge or will power. However merciful or benevolent may have been the intention of the appellees, a new rule of law, of contract by implication of law, will have to be established by this court in order to sustain the recovery." Appellant is right in saying that the recovery must be sustained by a contract by implication of law, but is not right in saying that it is a new rule of law, for such contracts are almost as old as the English system of jurisprudence. They are usually called "implied contracts." More properly they should be called "quasi contracts" or "constructive contracts." See 1 Page on Contracts, § 14; also 2 Page on Contracts, § 771.
We regard it as well settled by the cases referred to in the briefs of counsel, many of which have been commented on at length by Mr. Shirley for the defendant, that an insane person, an idiot, or a person utterly bereft of all sense and reason by the sudden stroke of an accident or disease may be held liable, in assumpsit, for necessaries furnished to him in good faith while in that unfortunate and helpless condition. And the reasons upon which this rest are too broad, as well as too sensible and humane, to be overborne by any deductions which a refined logic may make from the circumstances that in such cases there can be no contract or promise, in fact, no meeting of the minds of the parties. The cases put it on the ground of an implied contract; and by this is not meant, as the defendant's counsel seems to suppose, an actual contract — that is, an actual meeting of the minds of the parties, an actual, mutual understanding, to be inferred from language, acts, and circumstances by the jury — but a contract and promise, said to be implied by the law, where, in point of fact, there was no contract, no mutual understanding, and so no promise. The defendant's counsel says it is usurpation for the court to hold, as a matter of law, that there is a contract and a promise, when all the evidence in the case shows that there was not a contract, nor the semblance of one. It is doubtless a legal fiction, invented and used for the sake of the remedy. If it was originally usurpation, certainly it has now become very inveterate, and firmly fixed in the body of the law. Illustrations might be multiplied, but enough has been said to show that when a contract or promise implied by law is spoken of, a very different thing is meant from a contract in fact, whether express or tacit. The evidence of an actual contract is generally to be found either in some writing made by the parties, or in verbal communications which passed between them, or in their acts and conduct considered in the light of the circumstances of each particular case. A contract implied by law, on the contrary, rests upon no evidence. It has no actual existence. It is simply a mythical creation of the law. The law says it shall be taken that there was a  promise, when in point of fact, there was none. Of course this is not good logic, for the obvious and sufficient reason that it is not true. It is a legal fiction, resting wholly for its support on a plain legal obligation, and a plain legal right. If it were true, it would not be a fiction. There is a class of legal rights, with their correlative legal duties, analogous to the obligations quasi ex contractu of the civil law, which seem to he in the region between contracts on the one hand, and torts on the other, and to call for the application of a remedy not strictly furnished either by actions ex contractu or actions ex delicto. The common law supplies no action of duty, as it does of assumpsit and trespass; and hence the somewhat awkward contrivance of this fiction to apply the remedy of assumpsit where there is no true contract and no promise to support it.
This subject is fully discussed in Beach on the Modern Law of Contracts, 639 et seq., and 2 Page on Contracts, 771 et seq. One phase in the law of implied contracts was considered in the case of Lewis v. Lewis, 75 Ark. 191, 87 S. W. 134. In its practical application it sustains recovery for physicians and nurses who render services for infants, insane persons, and drunkards. 2 Page on Contracts, §§ 867, 897, 906. And services rendered by physicians to persons unconscious or helpless by reason of injury or sickness are in the same situation as those rendered to persons incapable of contracting, such as the classes above described. Raoul v. Newman, 59 Ga. 408; Meyer v. K. of P., 70 N. E. 111, 178 N. Y. 63, 64 L. R. A. 839. The court was therefore right in giving the instruction in question.
That is not at all the test. So that a surgical operation be conceived and performed with due skill and care, the price to be paid therefor does not depend upon the result. The event so generally lies with the forces of nature that all intelligent men know and understand that the surgeon is not responsible therefor. In absence of express agreement, the surgeon, who brings to such a service due skill and care, earns the reasonable and customary price therefor, whether the outcome be beneficial to the patient or the reverse.
The trial court erred in admitting testimony as to the value of the patient's estate, against the objection of the defendant. The inquiry was as to the value of the professional services rendered by the plaintiff to the defendant's testator, and, as the case was presented below, the amount or value of the latter's estate could shed no legitimate light upon this issue nor aid in its elucidation. The cure or amelioration of disease is as important to a poor man as it is to a rich one, and, prima facie at least, the services rendered the one are of the same value as the same services rendered to the other. If there was a recognized usage obtaining in the premises here involved to graduate professional charges with reference to the financial condition of the person for whom such services are rendered, which had been so long established and so universally acted upon as to have ripened into a custom of such character that it might be considered that these services were rendered and accepted in contemplation of it, there is no hint of it in the evidence.
There was evidence in this case proving that it was customary for physicians to graduate their charges by the ability of the patient to pay, and hence, in regard to that element, this case differs from the Alabama case. But the value of the Alabama decision is the reason given which may admit such evidence, viz., because the custom would render the financial condition of the patient a factor to be contemplated by both parties when the services were rendered and accepted. The same thought differently expressed is found in Lange v. Kearney, 4 N. Y. Supp. 14, 51 Hun, 640. This could not apply to a physician called in an emergency by some bystander to attend a stricken man whom he never saw or  heard of before; and certainly the unconscious patient could not, in fact or in law, be held to have contemplated what charges the physician might properly bring against him. In order to admit such testimony, it must be assumed that the surgeon and patient each had in contemplation that the means of the patient would be one factor in determining the amount of the charge for the services rendered. While the law may admit such evidence as throwing light upon the contract and indicating what was really in contemplation when it was made, yet a different question is presented when there is no contract to be ascertained or construed, but a mere fiction of law creating a contract where none existed in order that there might be a remedy for a right. This fiction merely requires a reasonable compensation for the services rendered. The services are the same be the patient prince or pauper, and for them the surgeon is entitled to fair compensation for his time, service, and skill. It was therefore error to admit this evidence, and to instruct the jury in the second instruction that in determining what was a reasonable charge they could consider the "ability to pay of the person operated upon."
It was improper to let it go to the jury that Mr. Harrison was a bachelor and that his estate was left to nieces and nephews. This was relevant to no issue in the case, and its effect might well have been prejudicial. While this verdict is no higher than some of the evidence would justify, yet it is much higher than some of the other evidence would justify, and hence it is impossible to say that this was a harmless error.
Judgment is reversed, and cause remanded.
BATTLE and WOOD, JJ., concur in sustaining the recovery, and in holding that it was error to permit the jury to consider the fact that his estate would go to collateral heirs; but they do not concur in holding that it was error to admit evidence of the value of the estate, and instructing that it might be considered in fixing the charge.

Response to a brother's list of why church is true
(response)
This is my response to: brother's list of why the church is true for him- many holes, could use some help.
Joseph Smith got too many thing right for it to be an accident.
Joseph Smith definitely organized an impressive amount of religious thought from his time. Still, the vast majority of things Joseph Smith revealed can also be viewed as amalgamations of thoughts from his time. Several responses below get into this in more detail.
Ancient writing on metal plates..it was unheard of…ridiculed for it, but was proved correct years later…same with the stone box it was stored in Plates hidden in a stone box—
This is definitely a win for the historical model. However, if the stone box is sitting in the hill Cumorah, why hasn't anyone found it and analyzed it? On the other hand, we have this statement from a respected BYU archaeologist about the hill Cumorah:
In summary, the archaeology of New York is persuasive evidence that Book of Mormon peoples did not live in that region. By implication, the Cumorah of the golden plates is not the Cumorah of the final battles. These conclusions follow from a few basic points and assumptions. First, I presume that the archaeology of New York State, as currently published (2004), is a fair representation and adequate sample of what is there, and particularly that the evidence for some periods has not been systematically destroyed. Second, I presume that the evidence published for the various regions and time periods is accurate—that is, that the majority of archaeologists working in this region are competent and academically honest in terms of their archaeology. Third, I assume that additional research and discoveries will not significantly alter current understandings of the times or places of prehistoric occupation nor of the cultural practices involved; rather, such data will lead to minor adjustments to some of the details of prehistory. Fourth, the archaeological record lacks evidence for cities, sedentism, corn agriculture, fortifications, and dense populations during Archaic, Early Woodland, and Middle Woodland times. In accord with these general observations about New York and Pennsylvania, we come to our principal object—the Hill Cumorah. Archaeologically speaking, it is a clean hill. No artifacts, no walls, no trenches, no arrowheads. The area immediately surrounding the hill is similarly clean. Pre-Columbian people did not settle or build here. This is not the place of Mormon's last stand….
Chiasmus in the book of mormon…..How did Joseph Smith know about an ancient form of Middle Eastern Poetry….yep lucky there too…
Chiasmus is very cool, and it is consistent with the BoM being an ancient record. However, consider that chiasmus is common in the bible, the late war (which has many similarities with the BoM), and just happens frequently without people even realizing it.
Joseph Smith predicted the Civil War…..NY newspaper even asked if we had a prophet among us….because it was so far "out there" when it was revealed
Consider this list
Why would Joseph Smith and company read from the BOM for comfort in Liberty jail? Why would you try and get comfort and peace from a made up book? You wouldn't!!
It's a good question, and that fact should weigh in favor of the book's authenticity. However, many of those who start up religions believe deeply in what they created (i.e., caught up in the fantasy). Consider Heaven's Gate, Warren Jeffs, Jonestown, David Koresh, Christopher Nemelka, Matthew Gill, Denver Snuffer, Ron Hubbard, etc.)
Also, why did Joseph Smith never use the BoM in his sermons? That seems consistent with avoiding bringing attention to the book.
Nature of the Godhead…3 separate, physical bodies……holy ghost is a spirit…..yes!
It is a beautiful teaching. However, this doctrine was not cleanly taught that way from the beginning (BoM: mostly trinitarian, lectures on faith: HG was merely influence)
Families are Forever!! The family unit is eternal and will exist in the next life….yep, makes sense to me….and how many church's teach that? That's right, not a single one!!
It is a beautiful concept in many ways. However, it also has some downsides (also Families, Eternity, & Collateral Damage).
In addition, if sealing itself is such an important principle, why was Joseph Smith never sealed to his parents or children (while alive)? And why was Emma sealed to Joseph Smith after more than 16 other women? (see Questions to Ask for sources)
Book of Mormon brings people closer to God….eliminates the confusion….Ie infant baptism…another testament of Christ
Richard Bushman, a well-known Mormon historian, recently stated:
… there is phrasing everywhere–long phrases that if you google them you will find them in 19th century writings. The theology of the Book of Mormon is very much 19th century theology, and it reads like a 19th century understanding of the Hebrew Bible as an Old Testament …
The number of similarities with early 1800s thought is extensive. All of those teachings were in JS's milieu (also see echoes).
Baptism by immersion…yep
It is consistent with how Jesus was baptized, so that has to count in favor of the LDS Church. However, baptism by immersion was a common theme among restorationists of the time (i.e., the Campbellites). In addition, the Church used to do anointings fully naked, but today do only a single drop on the head. Perhaps that is a similar deviation from an original, sacred practice (that wasn't supposed to be altered)?
Baptisms for the dead….justice and fair for all!! yes, it's only 1 verse in the bible, so I guess every other church in the world can ignore it…NOT!
It is a beautiful concept and solves lots of problems. In general, the LDS Church seems to have been a response to flaws in standard Christian teaching of that time. The idea for baptism for the dead was probably inspired by a reading of 1 Cor 15:29. In addition, the Ephrata cloister, located in Pennsylvania, also practiced baptisms for the dead from the late 1700s into the 1840s.
One church, one faith, one baptism…..IE….Baptists don't believe the same…everyone/church has their own beliefs…..too much confusion!
Except we have the same situation among all the various LDS movements today (there are many). They all believe in variants of the Gospel. Why isn't there one faith, one baptism etc. in the Mormons movement?
The importance of baptism. Holy Ghost by laying on of hands
These seem to be ideas that were heavily emphasized in the early 1800s. Today? They don't seem as relevant.
Annointing with oil…..Check…in the bible……how many churches teach that?
Anointing seems to be used in many christian churches
Why are all the anti Mormon films filled with lies? I like how they twisted Hinkley's words around to make it seem like we believed in a different Jesus…And the guy telling it was so sincere…..made me sick!
Virtually all totalistic organizations attract opposition, and it tends to becomes polarized and not always accurate. See The Two Camps of Cultic Studies, Leah Remini's attack on scientology, and these examples in Under Satan's Attack.
A Jehovah's Witness sounds similar defending their organization from attack:
Every person in this organization—every one of Jehovah's Witnesses including the governing body—we're all imperfect and thus we are subject to making mistakes. Which means that if you look hard enough, all you will see instead of seeing these amazing things that Jehovah is accomplishing and our tremendous privilege of being part of it, all we are going to see is the errors of men. But when we focus on the good, on the guidance and loving support that we've received, aren't we moved with appreciation to cleave to this body of fellow worshipers. And just look at what Jehovah is accomplishing by means of his imperfect servants. There is no other organization on earth providing spiritual food like the one that we belong to. When we look at all of this, how could we possibly let the failings of just a few people undermine this overwhelming proof of Jehova's backing? 2016 "remain loyal to jehovah" regional conference
Also, consider this video.
Temples….check………..We visited the Community of Christ temple after we left the LDS visitor center across the street. Our kids made the comment that something was missing…..Innocent children can tell the difference between the spirit they felt while on the LDS side and the Reorganized LDS temple. We also felt it…it was an empty feeling.
One's cultural orientation strongly determines how a person feels about something. Consider that many worthy Latter day saints feel badly when they first go to the LDS temple! (see the story of Marlin Jensen's first daughter in footnote #24)
Priesthood authority….Aaronic and Melchizedek….how many churches teach that? None!
Why do so many blessings given by patriarchs through the spirit contain promises that were never fulfilled? (see here)
weekly sacrament and it's meaning…check
It's a beautiful experience in many ways.
The discussion in Alma 40 on the spirit world matches closely the discussion in Thomas Burnet's book "Of the state of the dead and of those that are to rise", including suspiciously similar phraseology:
What the future State of the Soul is after the Corporeal Dissolution; or concerning the middle State of Souls betwixt Death and the Resurrection, as to the Degrees of Happiness and Misery. [emphasis added]
As we have already proved from natural Reason, and from the Evidence of sacred Writ, That human Souls survive the Body; we must next examine in what State they are, and what Life they enjoy after this corporeal Separation. We must first enquire if they are invested with another Body after they have parted from this; of what Nature that Body is; or, whether they remain naked and divested of all Matter to the Resurrection. The Solution of this Question leads us directly into a Knowledge of a future State. But as the other, concerning the Degrees of Happiness and Misery, is more general and less obsure, we shall bring upon the Test into Examination, the Opinion of some * Neotericks, who will have the Souls immediately after Death carried up into Heaven, and to the highest Glories of the Beatifick Vision; or to be depressed into the utmost Miseries of Hell: Both, I think are too much upon the Extremes. The reformed Divines, to avoid the Terrours of Purgatory, have entirely taken away the intermediate State; as we are too apt in avoiding one Folly to fall upon another. It is very well known, the Roman Purgatory is adapted to the Humours of the People and the Benefit of the Priest: But why should these Phantasms fright us away from the Search of Truth, and the Opinion of the Ancients concerning the hitherto unfulfilled State of Misery and Happiness, before the Day of Judgement. We shall at present defer to speak of the Miserable, and confine our selves to shew, how dissonant it is to the sacred Writings and the ancient Faith, to assert the immediate Translation from this Life to the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Beatifick Vision, before the Resurrenction and coming of CHRIST. [emphasis added]
See additional similarities with Burnet here.
In addition, current LDS doctrine on the eternal nature of spirit gender locks the Church into gender binaries where the biological reality is much more complex (from Beyond XX and XY: The Extraordinary Complexity of Sex Determination)
Missionary work in the spirit world…..yep, make sense
This does address some problematic teachings in Christianity.
grace vs works….we are saved by grace after all that we can do…make total sense…..everyone makes works to be a terrible thing
Again, the LDS religion seems to be a response to deficiencies in Christianity.
degrees of glory after the resurrection
Another beautiful concept, but probably borrowed from Emanuel Swedenborg.
prophets and apostles…..They speak monthly through Ensign and every 6 months through General Conference….everything that I've ever heard is meant to bring us closer to Heavenly Father……Yep, mormons are the worst!!
Much of what leaders have said is wonderful. But some of it has not been. Consider leaders' teachings on homosexuality over the years and their teachings on race in the Lowry Nelson and Stewart Udall letters.
revelation…living church…check
In theory, the idea is beautiful. In practice, what exactly have they revealed, prophecied, or seen in the past 100 years? The Proclamation on the Family, for instance, seems to be mostly a rehash and was directly prompted by legal needs (so, not in advance of the need).
Also, when asked if he has revelations, Joseph F. Smith said, under oath, "I have never pretended to nor do I profess to have received revelations." (see here)
Additionally, consider that the Community of Christ Church now has 165 sections in their Doctrine and Covenants. Who is receiving additional revelation?
This pattern seems to me how revelation has waned in the modern LDS Church: Revelation direct from God "thus saith the Lord" (JS, most of D&C) -> Thoughts that may be taken as the word of the Lord (BY, D&C 136) -> dreams canonized (JFS, D&C 138) -> manifesto -> declarations -> proclamations -> unsigned essays written by historians. They have the seer stone. Why do none of the prophets, seers, or revelators use it?
Nahom fits perfectly with Lehi's journey from Jersusalem…..just lucky I guess
Nahom is an interesting find that seems consistent with the historical model. However, read the comment section of this post to see that it's not nearly as clean as it sounds. And, as pointed out earlier, the Book of Mormon has so much 1800s thought in it, it is difficult to see it as anything but an 1800s document (i.e., that weighs more heavily than NHM).
Polygamy…weird, but biblical
The way Joseph Smith practiced polygamy was highly problematic, both theologically and ethically. It is far more consistent with someone who didn't have any direction from an omniscient being in the matter. Consider:
LDS Historian Brian Hales wrote of Joseph's relationship with Fanny "it is obvious Emma did not believe the ceremony was valid and concluded the relationship was adulterous. Ironically, Oliver Cowdery, who Joseph summoned to diffuse the situation, sided with Emma, discounting the validity of the polygamous marriage." Why did Joseph (apparently) not get permission for his relationship with Fanny as suggested by D&C 132:61?
For what purpose did Joseph Smith get sealed to other righteous men's wives (e.g., Zina Huntington and Marinda Nancy Johnson Hyde)? In particular, what justified Joseph's marriage to Zina Huntington, a happily newlywed, pregnant mother?
To whom was Zina Huntington married when her second child was born? Who fathered her third child? To whom will Zina Huntington's children (those fathered by her first husband, Henry Jacobs, and the one fathered by Brigham Young) belong in the eternities?
Why did Zina Huntington become Brigham Young's wife after Joseph died and not Henry Jacob's wife (especially considering that Henry already had children with Zina)?
What made it okay for Joseph Smith to re-seal himself to the Partridge sisters in order to hide the first sealings from Emma?
Joseph Smith directly or implicitly denied practicing polygamy 5 times in his own words and was responsible for 3 additional direct denials. What made it okay for Joseph Smith (and other early leaders) to repeatedly lie about their practice of polygamy?
What was the point of a union with 14 year old Helen Mar Kimball? Specifically, if polyandrous unions with Joseph were good enough for the Huntington and Hyde families, why would a potential polyandrous union with Vilate be inadequate for sealing to the Kimball family?
According to his daughter Helen, Heber C. Kimball was instructed by Joseph Smith not to tell his first wife, Vilate, when he married his first plural wife, Sarah Noon. Why did D&C 132:61 not apply to this union?
If Joseph was pressured into polygamy by an angel with a drawn sword, why did the angel not give sufficient instructions to ensure that polygamy and/or sealings were done "correctly"?
As alluded to before, D&C 132:61 outlines three requirements by which a plural marriage may be "justified" and not adultery: 1) "the first give her consent", 2) "the second…they are virgins", and 3) "have vowed to no other man." Why didn't Joseph follow these guidelines? Does the breaking of all of these guidelines mean that some or all of his relationships were adulterous in whole or in part?
The Pre-earth life of mankind….Makes sense, is biblical, and the LDS church is the absolutely only church on the earth that teaches that one….HUGE!!!!
Terryl Givens recently wrote a book on the topic of the premortal existence in various thought across time (When Souls Had Wings). He recently commented:
The LDS faith is the only significant Christian denomination teaching this doctrine today. But it turns out, literally dozens—perhaps hundreds—of poets, mystics, philosophers, theologians and pastors have taught this same principle across the centuries.
And, Givens indicated that Joseph Smith was likely exposed to these ideas.
Finally, there is also the question of why the author of Alma 13 repeatedly alludes to teachings and phrases from the New Testament rather than the Old Testament.
Plus, how do models of pre-mortal life deal with scenarios where two distinct twins exist and one twin subsumes the other (i.e., creating human chimeras)? What happens to the spirits?
Word of Wisdom….pretty amazing it came 200 years ago
Cholera was the leading known cause of death among the early Pioneers:
Cholera was the biggest killer and actually took a greater toll in late summer as the temperatures rose and rivers fell.
Compounding the problem was the fact that the cause of cholera was a mystery to the pioneers. They didn't know how to defend themselves from cholera bacteria, which secrete a toxin that inflames the large intestine, causing diarrhea and rapid dehydration. In severe cases, cholera can kill within hours.
Hundreds of Mormon Pioneers would have survived their trek if they would have merely boiled their water before drinking–i.e., if they had been drinking hot drinks.
Or, God could have merely said something like, "don't drink water downstream from where people are pooping." Something that simple would have also saved so many of them.
And, the Word of Wisdom seems to be wrong about tea and coffee, for example.
The world hates the church….I'd be concerned if they didn't
True Believing Mormons are some of the best people in the world……by their fruits. Church is a force for good….morally and physically…..what church sent 10,000 people to help with the Harvey flood? Yep, you guessed it……Who has the largest assistance program outside of the US government? yes the mormons…….
All totalistic groups are quick to point out how good they are.
But several scientific studies suggest that the non-religious are as moral in everyday life as the religious.
Morality in everyday life. Science 2014 - "Religious and nonreligious participants did not differ in the likelihood or quality of committed moral and immoral acts."
The Negative Association between Religiousness and Children's Altruism across the World. Current Biology 2015 (summary) "Across all countries, parents in religious households reported that their children expressed more empathy and sensitivity for justice in everyday life than non-religious parents. However, religiousness was inversely predictive of children's altruism and positively correlated with their punitive tendencies."
Read many many near death experiences from non mormons that coincide with teaching of the church
The well-respected psychologist of religion, Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, noted:
Mystical experiences, considered unique and individual, are totally culture-dpendent. We know that the specific content of visions, the most intense and personal of religious acts, is wholly predictable from exposure to certain ideas, which are always learned. Visions of the Holy Virgin occur exclusively among Catholics or those exposed to Catholic ideas. They have never occurred among Orthodox Jews…
Name a church that teaches against the moral decline of society more than the Church of Jesus Chris of latter day Saints??? yep, no one!!
The world may not actually be in moral decline.
Also, consider these arguments.
Pornography is bad! The church is always preaching against it…..the world says it's ok, but we know better, don't we brother?
There are significant problems with the current mainstream pornography industry (exploitation, misogyny, unhealthy/immoral sexual attitudes, racism, etc), and I think healthy and moral sexual attitudes are probably best developed in the absence of, or at least minimizing to some extent, pornography usage.
Still, stigma significantly exacerbates negative effects of pornography:
Pornography, Religion, and Parent-Child Relationship Quality
Study suggests perceived pornography addiction can harm relationships even if pornography itself does not (a BYU researcher)
And, in general, the LDS Church seems to generate the strongest feelings of guilt about sex of any religion.
and God is real….this wonderful universe just didn't happen by chance
We appear to be psychologically primed to believe in a God, as explained by the well-known psychology of religion professor Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi:
Human brains look at the environment and it seems like all they see are agency, intention, and consciousness, whether they exist or not. Powerful mechanisms lead to the attribution of consciousness and volition to numerous non-human objects, real and imagined. The apparently universal tendency for over-detecting causality and agency is so powerful because of the cost of not detecting them in ambiguous situations. The ability to recognize threats and opportunities, and to identify intentions, is crucial. The search for causality is vital for human survival, and because of the way it operates humans often cannot tell the difference between intentional actors, imagined intentional actors, and inanimate objects (Tremlin, 2006, p. 74). They also connect causation to conscious intentions.
Related to the over-detection of causality are several cognitive shortcuts, which pull the mind toward supernaturalist ideation. They undoubtedly overlap, but their analysis as discrete processes provides important insights. Our innate animism, anthropomorphism, Theory of Mind (TOM), dualism, and teleology lead to seeing ourselves as surrounded by minds and by intentions, real (in the case of other people) and imagined (in the case of spirits and objects).
The church is true my brother! I will never deny it!
I am happy that it brings you peace and joy and that you have peace in your spiritual knowledge of its truth.
There are, however, good reasons to question the reliability of spiritual feelings in determining truth. Consider:
Why do members of other religions receive strong spiritual experiences confirming to them that their religion is the correct religion? (See Spiritual Witnesses and additional discussion in Testimony, Spiritual Experiences, and Truth: A Careful Examination)
Given how missionaries instruct members to pray about the Book of Mormon, in what fashion could a person arrive at the conclusion that the Book of Mormon is not true? If a person persistently followed Moroni's promise with any sufficiently inspiring book, what would be the end result?
Elder Holland shared "the missionary speech of all time" at a New Mission President Seminar. It was shared by many others, who also found it to be very powerful. Ultimately, key parts of the story were found to be in error, calling into question the validity of the entire story. Why did people report feeling so touched (e.g., "the most powerful message to my heart…") by a story that was deeply flawed factually? Is it possible for a person to have received a similar witness of the "truth" of the Book of Mormon and for it to be factually flawed?
Most mormons who leave the church will turn atheist or agnostic because there is nothing better out there!!!
If the data best fit an agnostic/athiest model, why shouldn't it be adopted? Morality transcends religious belief. Here's one person's formulation of their beliefs after leaving the LDS Church: my beliefs. What do you find objectionable in that belief system?

I am looking for some advice on what to do. I lost my job last october. I was living in New Hampshire and could only find a job in Washington DC. So I relocated my wife and two kids to DC and am renting now in DC. I still have my house back in NH but the problem is I am upside down on the home by $50,000. I can only afford to pay rent and my mortgage for another two months, then I will not have the income to pay both. Of course I should pay my rent since that is where I am living, but should I just let the house go into foreclosure, try and work something out with the bank.
Has anyone heard of a bank letting you sell your house and roll the loss into another house you would buy? I would not have an issue with buying something in DC and having my loss on my home rolled into this home. It makes sense but the home I would buy would be upside down so the bank I know would not do it.
First of all, how much are you renting your home in the DC area? I know the rents there are sky high (depending on the location). But you would have been better off getting a 2-3 bedroom apt (even with kids) and toughed it out for at least 1 year.
How much do you think you are get for rent for your home in NH?
You need to evaluate your financial situation. Can you cover your 50K lost in NH?
No bank just eat a 50K lost on a home you own in order to let you buy another home. It does not work that way. Your credit will be ruin and you would not qualify for another home. The homeowners who did the buy and bail for most of 2008 have had that loophole closed by the lenders.
If you make too much money, than you are basically screwed. I'm sorry to sound blunt on this matter. The banks will not help homeowners (even ones responsible if they are not living in their Principal residence with Obama's socialist housing policy scheduled to take effect on March 4th).
If your wife is not working, I suggest you tell your wife to move back into the NH home with the kids. Make it look like you are still living there and hopefully the banks will help you out since that home will still be your Principal place of residence. That would be your best bet to get your mortgage subsidized on taxpayers money.
Or you could consider a short sale but this will ruin your credit almost as bad as a foreclosure.
Unfortunately in these times, if you play by the rules, you will get the short end of the stick. You need to play the housing game to get some government help.

Warburton tests are inconclusive
Thursday March 22nd 2012
Welsh rugby star Sam Warburton is to visit a specialist after sustaining a shoulder injury during their RBS 6 Nations showdown with France.
Following the injury, concerns were raised over whether he would be able to join his team mates in the three-Test tour taking place in Australia over the summer.
The shoulder injury follows injuries to Warburton's thigh and knee which meant he could play only 160 out of the 400 minutes of game time available during the recent championship, which Wales won.
So far the captain has undergone tests, including an MRI scan, which was inconclusive.
"Not much showed up on it," Warbutron said. "There is a bit of concern because I am still in quite a bit of discomfort. I am seeing a specialist tomorrow, and I will find out more then. The MRI scan did not show any soft tissue damage."
The root cause of the trouble may be complex and could involve the nervous system which would not show up in an MRI scan, the player said.
"I do not know what to think - it could be two weeks, or it could be two months. I hope it is shorter, rather than longer," he added.
"One of the reasons they are finding it difficult is that I cannot recall the incident in the game when it happened."

There's really nothing at Sonic that I don't like but I've got admit that this one definitely raises a few questions on my end. Will be this be the perfect mix of sweet and salty?
Sonic is some high end fast food. I mean come on, they actually bring the food to your car. Sonic is a treat with because of its rarity. The fact that there aren't that many around make it that much better. Anywhere that you can get tater tots as a side is an awesome place in my book.
The other thing that makes a trip to the speedy fast food joint is there strange drink flavors and your ability to mix and match any kind syrups in your soda.
According to the Foodbeast, This summer Sonic will introduce the controversial pickle slush.
The slush will be a sweet and salty pickle brine flavor. Not only can you get it in a slush but you'll also be able to add it to any soda that they carry. Who wants a pickle and vanilla Pepsi?
This drink may be the ultimate hangover cure.

Q: Service PHP in Rails I have a small PHP service that is being called in a JavaScript file by AJAX :
$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "getDate.php",
    dataType:"json",
    data :{
        fromDate:fromDate,
        toDate:toDate
    },
    success: function(data) {
         ......
        }
});

This service contains :
$fromDate = $_GET['fromDate'];
$toDate = $_GET['toDate'];
$fromDate=date_create($fromDate);
$fromdate = date_format($fromDate,"Y-m-d")."T".date_format($fromDate,"H:i:s")."Z";
$fromdate = urlencode($fromdate);
$toDate=date_create($toDate);
$todate = date_format($toDate,"Y-m-d")."T23:00:00Z";
$todate = urlencode($todate);
$url = "http://194.209.53.19:8086/query?db=Bellevue&q=select+*+from+measures+where+time%3E%3D%27".$fromdate."%27+and+time%3C%3D%27".$todate."%27";
$data = file_get_contents($url, false);
echo $data;

I need to use this in my Rails application. I was wondering if I could put the .php file in a Rails folder, and simply call it. Or if there's a way to do a similar service in Rails?

A: Sure, you can do this in Rails. First, you need to define the route for your request. Write the following in your routes.rb file, located at config/routes.rb:
get "/getDate" => "generals#get_date"

What that means is: whenever there is a GET request for /getDate, go to controller GeneralController, and invoke its function named get_date. If you wrote users#get_date, Rails would try to find the get_date method in UsersController.
Generate the controller of your choice by following command:
rails generate controller General

It will generate a file named general_controller.rb in app/controller among other files.
Now, you need to define all your logic there. Other thing: in PHP, you get the sent data using $_GET['formDate'], but in Rails, you will accomplish the same functionality by doing params[:formDate].
def get_date
  form_date = params[:formDate]
  # and now here you can write all your logic, and can finally return the response

  respond_to do |format|
    format.json { render json: data_to_be_returned }
  end
end

Edit:
For date_create or date_format functions in PHP, you can look up their equivalents at here and here.

On 21 February 2017 new tax legislation was passed that will have some real benefits to tax payers, especially those who trade through a company structure. The benefits relate to provisional tax payments and in particular, use of money interest (UOMI) charged by Inland Revenue.
As your accountant one of our key jobs is to ensure you pay the correct amount of provisional tax, firstly so that penalties are not incurred and secondly so that UOMI is not incurred or at least minimised. For the 2016-17 year Inland Revenue charged UOMI at 8.27% for underpaid tax. For overpaid tax Inland Revenue would only pay 1.62%.
The difficulty that would arise is that for companies and trusts (and individuals with over $50,000 of residual income tax) the tax had to be paid in 3 equal instalments, ie 1/3, 1/3 and 1/3 during the year to avoid UOMI. It is not always easy to estimate what the final profit for the year will be and therefore how much tax should be being paid at provisional tax time.
This unfair rule that assumed a straight-line earning of income throughout the year has now been removed for those tax payers who choose to use the standard "uplift" method for paying provisional tax.
A new rule has been introduced, whereby UOMI will only apply from the final instalment of provisional tax, ie 7 May*. The final instalment is after the end of the financial year so provided you have a good estimate of your 31 March accounts payable and accounts receivable and any other balance date accruals any catch up of underpaid tax can be done at that time and no UOMI will be incurred for underpayments 28 August or 15 January*.
Of course any tax payer who chooses to pay less tax than the standard uplift method calculation (which is based on the either of the previous 2 years residual income tax) will still risk not only UOMI but also late payment penalties.
However there is further good news regarding late payment penalties. From the 2017-18 tax year Inland Revenue will no longer impose a 1% monthly incremental late payment penalty on unpaid tax. Initial late payment penalties will still be applied, being 1% the day after the due date and another 4% 6 days later. However, thereafter the very onerous 1% per month has been removed. Only UOMI will apply. This applies to Income Tax, GST and overpayments of Working for Families Tax Credits.
These new rules will apply for the 28 August 2017 provisional tax payments so we look forward to applying them for our clients.

Trump says he'll likely resume coronavirus briefings tomorrow
From CNN's Kevin Liptak
Evan Vucci/AP
President Trump says he'll resume regular coronavirus briefings as the country experiences a resurgence of cases.
"We have had this big flare up in Florida, Texas, a couple of other places," Trump said from the Oval Office on Monday. "I'll get involved and we'll start doing briefings."
The acknowledgement came as Trump's advisers debate a return to the daily briefings, which were a hallmark of the pandemic's earlier days. They ceased after Trump repeatedly found himself sparring with reporters and going on tangents, including one about ingesting disinfectant.
Now, however, many of Trump's aides worry he appears absent as the crisis continues to rage. Trump no longer attends daily coronavirus task force meetings and hasn't held an event specifically focused on the virus in two weeks.
Trump said the revival of briefings would allow him to tout advancements on therapeutics and vaccines and explain the "positive things" his administration is doing to combat the virus.
"I think it's a great way to get information out to the public," Trump said, adding they would likely resume on Tuesday at 5 p.m. ET — the same time he typically briefed in the spring.
"We had a good slot. A lot of people were watching," Trump said, using television ratings lingo to describe the sessions: "We had record numbers watching," he said. "In the history of cable television there's never been anything like it."
US Treasury Secretary says phase four stimulus package will start at $1 trillion dollars
From CNN's Jason Hoffman
Kevin Dietsch/Pool/AP
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said the Trump administration hopes to pass a phase four stimulus package before the end of the month, and said that negotiations for the package will start with "another trillion dollars."
Mnuchin said the focus of this package will be "kids and jobs and vaccines," echoing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's repeated framing of the forthcoming Republican proposal. Mnuchin also claimed there will be a vaccine before the end of the year for emergency use.
Mnuchin said they want to tweak the enhanced unemployment insurance so they "don't pay people more money to stay home than go to work."
He also said the new package will have "tax credits that incentivize business to bring people back to work. We'll have tax credits for PPE for safe work environments, and we're going to have big incentives, money to the states, for education for schools that can open safely and do education."
Mnuchin added that the administration wants liability protection in the new package.

Brazilian minister tests positive for Covid-19
From journalist Rodrigo Pedroso

Brazil's Minister of Citizenship Onyx Lorenzoni said he tested positive for Covid-19, in a Twitter post on Monday.
In a series of tweets, Lorenzoni wrote that he was tested after his symptoms started last Friday. He said he started the so-called "Covid-kit" treatment, a cocktail of drugs promoted by some medical doctors who back Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro's claim that it's an effective treatment in the early stages of the novel coronavirus.
"I have been following the azithromycin, ivermectin, and chloroquine protocol since Friday and I already feel the positive effects," Lorenzoni wrote on his Twitter account.
About the drugs: The Brazilian Society of Infectious Diseases (SBI), in a report published Friday, urged medical professionals to stop using hydroxychloroquine to treat coronavirus, because it has been proved ineffective and can cause collateral damage.
A week earlier, Brazil's National Health Surveillance Agency which regulates pharmaceuticals, ANVISA, released a statement saying there is no conclusive proof that ivermectin is effective as Covid-19 treatment.
In addition to Bolsonaro, who tested positive on July 7, three other high-ranking government officials have previously tested positive.
After Bolsonaro tested positive for Covid-19, several of his close ministers were tested in the following days. None of them tested positive.
Lorenzoni did not have any official meetings with Bolsonaro in recent weeks.

The state of Florida is reporting at least 10,347 new cases of Covid-19 and 90 additional deaths on Monday, according to data released by the Florida Department of Health.
This brings the state's total cases to more than 360,000 since the pandemic began, according to the state department of health. The statewide resident death toll is now at least 5,072.
Here's a look at new daily cases in Florida over the past two weeks:
Miami-Dade police issue more than 100 citations to people and businesses not complying with Covid-19 rules
From CNN's Randi Kaye
The Miami-Dade Police Department has issued 115 civil citations for noncompliance of county mask and social distancing orders.
Last week, the Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to approve an emergency order that allows fines to be issued to people not complying with the guidelines.
Authorities issued 67 individual citations and 48 business citations, according to the Miami-Dade Police Department.
Individual citations are $100 and $500 for businesses.
This Georgia mayor is enforcing a mask mandate, despite pushback from the governor
From CNN's Aditi Sangal
Mayor of Athens, Georgia, Kelly Girtz on CNN's "New Day" on July 20. CNN
When Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms enforced a mask mandate in Atlanta, Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp filed a lawsuit against her, calling the mandate a violation of his emergency orders that prohibits local leaders from adding to the state's requirements to protect against coronavirus.
Despite this action, Mayor Kelly Girtz also mandated masks in Athens, Georgia. However, he says he has not been sued yet.
"We are maintaining our mask mandate. The courts have not issued any cease and desist. And we believe we're well within our rights and in fact, well within the health care guidance that we've been receiving nationally and internationally," he said.
He highlighted the importance of how a mask mandate creates a "level playing field" that ensures equal safety for everyone alike.
"It's the 30% of our population living in poverty, who are clerks at grocery stores, who are cleaning homes, who are maintaining facilities. So we're all in this together. So if we have a level playing field with a mask mandate, whether you're in a small business or a large, that maintains that level of order, in the same way that a residential speed limit of 25 miles an hour does the same in front of your home and mine."
In addition to the residents, Athens also hosts about 40,000 university students, which is of concern to the mayor.
"I know that young people think of themselves as invulnerable, but the reality is that they are not," he said. "Young people are by nature, again, loosey-goosey."
"What we want is for everyone to take this deeply seriously, because in order for us to come out of this pandemic, we are going to need to all be practicing the best behavior possible. And frankly, when I ride down some of the college-occupied streets in this town, I don't see the best behavior right now, and we are going to need to step up our game."
Contingency plans may be needed as coronavirus cases rise, CEO of Miami-area health system says
Carlos Migoya, president and CEO of Jackson Health System, on CNN's "New Day" on July 20. CNN
While dozens of hospitals in Florida are reporting 0% of ICU beds available, Miami-Dade's Jackson Health System is teetering every day, the CEO says, adding that they may be preparing for a plan B and C, given the growth in cases.
"We're building a 100 new ICU beds but unfortunately, they're not going to be around until the end of the year," President CEO Carlos Migoya told CNN. "We've only seen a [case] growth of 60% in the last 14 days and in specific ICU only 18%, we expect those numbers to grow a little higher, and for that reason, we may be putting plans B and C into place."
The hospital staff is also under strain during this surge. At least 200 employees have tested positive for Covid-19 and aren't coming in to work currently, he said. Out of those 200, 37 are nurses.
"Gov. DeSantis has helped us out quite a bit by providing an extra 200 nurses to us at this point in time, and actually been extremely important for us. We've also hired another 90 or 100 nurses but all of that is influx at this point in time. It's a big challenge and a lot of anxiety for everyone," he said.
Under this strain, health care workers at the Jackson Health System have asked for hazard pay. However, Migoya says they're not able to provide it at this point.
"At this point in time we've lost in excess of over $80 million and not been able to catch up with the federal support, but we have not gotten any funding from HHS," Migoya says. "We are financially challenged."
New York reports 519 new cases and 8 deaths from Covid-19
From CNN's Kristina Sgueglia
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the state's progress in beating back Covid-19 is still "all very good."
Here's a look at the numbers in New York:
Hospitalizations continue to hit new lows since March 18, now at 716
New York added 519 positive tests, with a positivity rate at 1.05%
New York reported 8 deaths from Covid-19
One thing to note: These numbers were released by New York State's public health agency, and may not line up exactly in real time with CNN's database drawn from Johns Hopkins University and the Covid Tracking Project
New York governor says it was a "mistake" for other states to listen to Trump's calls to reopen
New York Gov. Cuomo said it was a mistake for other state governments to listen to the President's calls to open up during the pandemic.
Cuomo said the federal government has been "incompetent" and "in denial" on the situation and has "pressured" states "to reopen recklessly, which they did."
"Liberate, liberate, liberate," he said harkening to the President's tweets on the matter.
"Their mistake was they listened to the President," he added.
He said people are fleeing from other states to New York to find a safe haven from the virus. "Those other states have to get the virus under control," he said.
New York has police in the airport and a form individuals flying from impacted states need to fill out. It's illegal to leave the airport without doing so.
There is no enforcement mechanism for people driving into the state, Cuomo said.

A virtual cluster is a way of specifying a regex matching rule against certain important endpoints such that statistics are generated explicitly for the matched requests. The reason this is useful is that when doing prefix/path matching Envoy does not always know what the application considers to be an endpoint. Thus, it's impossible for Envoy to generically emit per endpoint statistics. However, often systems have highly critical endpoints that they wish to get "perfect" statistics on. Virtual cluster statistics are perfect in the sense that they are emitted on the downstream side such that they include network level failures.
Virtual clusters are a useful tool, but we do not recommend setting up a virtual cluster for every application endpoint. This is both not easily maintainable as well as the matching and statistics output are not free.
(required, string) Specifies a regex pattern to use for matching requests. The entire path of the request must match the regex. The regex grammar used is defined here.
(required, string) Specifies the name of the virtual cluster. The virtual cluster name as well as the virtual host name are used when emitting statistics. The statistics are emitted by the router filter and are documented here.
(optional, string) Optionally specifies the HTTP method to match on. For example GET, PUT, etc.

Alex N. Gecan, Asbury Park Press Published 9:35 a.m. ET March 25, 2019 | Updated 9:06 p.m. ET March 27, 2019
TOMS RIVER - The family of Ashley Combs has a simple message: Bring our daughter back within 24 hours or suffer the consequences.
UPDATE: Ashley Combs has been found and she is safe
Combs, 17, has been missing since Friday afternoon, when she did not come home from Toms River High School North. An attorney for her family, Jef Henninger, said Monday that if Combs isn't home by Tuesday at 9 a.m., the family will pursue every legal remedy possible against the person or people she may be with.
Combs' father, Rob Nieratko, shared the statement on Facebook.
"We believe that she is somewhere, in a house, where there is an adult — what that adult's intentions are, we don't want to speculate," Henninger told the Asbury Park Press by phone Monday morning. "There is an adult who has the ability to control whether or not she comes home."

Henninger said the family believed Combs is still in New Jersey, likely in Monmouth or Ocean County.
"There is a chance she is with a friend, however, we are conducting an investigation to confirm her whereabouts," Jillian Messina, a spokeswoman for the Toms River Police Department, told the Press in an email for an earlier story and reiterated Monday. "There is nothing suspicious at this time," Messina said.
Combs was last seen wearing light-colored jeans and a black hooded sweatshirt.
Henninger said that if Combs is brought home or to a police station by the deadline, her family will be satisfied just to have her home.
If Combs is not home by then, "If there's a legal avenue to pursue against anyone who had anything to do with her disappearance, we will stop at nothing that those legal avenue are exercised, whether it's civil, whether it's criminal, anything," Henninger said. "People need to understand, when you take somebody's child, it doesn't matter what your intentions are — it's illegal."
Police asked anyone with information on Combs to call them at 732-349-0150.

If you have a prescription for the acne medication Differin (medically termed adapalene), you probably had to jump through a few hoops to get it. The doctor-prescribed retinoid, which works to reduce skin inflammation and unclog blocked pores, can be difficult to acquire and very expensive. But as of today, the FDA has approved an over-the-counter version of the drug—the first-ever retinoid available without a prescription. The once-daily topical gel has a 0.1% concentration of adapalene, compared to the 0.3% of the prescription version, and it has been approved for ages 12 and older.
"This approval is exciting because topical retinoids are a staple treatment for acne in the dermatologist's office, and for the first time, it will be available to patients over the counter," says Dr. Joshua Zeichner, MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City. "It will complement the currently available treatments such as benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid."
So how can consumers incorporate Differin Gel 0.1% into their existing acne routines? Zeichner recommends applying a pea-size amount to the entire face in the evening, followed by a moisturizer to reduce the risk of irritation. "Start every other night as it takes time to acclimate to the medication," he says. "It can make you sun sensitive, so make sure to wear sunscreen."
Zeichner says that in the dermatologist's office, he often combines topical retinoids with other acne medications, such as prescription-strength benzoyl peroxide, to get to the root of the problem. "You can certainly combine [the 0.1% gel] with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid over the counter, as well," he says. "I just recommend separating them out in time, using the other product in the morning."
Information about pricing and date of availability is still pending, but Byrdie is following the story.
In the meantime, explore some of our other favorite OTC acne treatments below!
This consumer-favorite treatment gel uses a 10% concentration of benzoyl peroxide to penetrate and clear out infected pores. If your skin agrees with benzoyl peroxide, you can't go wrong with this affordable pick.
Alpha-hydroxy acid is a dermatologist-recommended ingredient for treating a number of skin issues, including blemishes and large pores. This serum has a higher concentration of glycolic acid than most, making it a perfect pick for those serious about chemical exfoliation.
This multitasking acne fighter combines 0.5% salicylic acid with retinol and glycolic acid to clear breakouts while smoothing skin tone and texture.
OTC retinols address a number of skincare concerns from fine lines to age spots to blemishes. This SkinCeuticals pick is beauty editor–approved.

Men: Do not just pick a woman- renowned citizen TV anchor advises men
By Digitalqueen (self media writer) | 1 year ago
Citizen Television Waihiga Mwaura isn't hesitant about raving about his lovely wife, Joyce Omondi, a gospel singer.
Waihiga was recently invited to Machakos University to speak to students. Following his address, he introduced his wife, who was scheduled to perform at the occasion.He thanked God for being a part of their marriage for the past six years and expressed his desire to celebrate much more.
He urged the men in the building to choose the ideal lady for a wife, one who loves and obeys God, rather than just any woman."Men do not choose any lady to be their wife. This woman is a gift from God. For the past six years, we've been married. We're going for sixty more. God has accompanied us on our journey."
Beautiful Joyce, who spoke at the platform, stressed the significance of young women respecting themselves because there are generations that look up to them.
She described how heartbroken she is when she sees young females on social media showing their naked bodies."Seeing our girls naked on social media is awful. Remember, as a young woman, God is seeking for someone to stand up for Him. Every day, I pray to be a good wife to my husband. There's something about you that people admire, and there are generations of people who look up to you "As she went on to perform one of her songs, Joyce said.

New to the MV version is the ability to play sounds for your Gab Window in addition to queueing multiple gabs together to have them form a conversation of sorts. When queued up, the currently playing gab will continue showing until it fades out before loading up the next gab.
Using the Gab Window is quite simple. By default, it can be used in either the map scene or the battle scene. To call upon it, you will to use a few Plugin Commands to set up what you wish for the Gab Window to display.
This will set the gab window to type out the above text. Text codes can be used for the Gab Window.
If you wish to display a face graphic, use this plugin command to have it* display a face from the filename.
Used in combination with the above plugin command to define which index the face will use.
If you wish to display a particular character sprite, use this plugin command to have it display a sprite from the filename.
Used in combination with the above plugin command to define which index the sprite will use.
This will display actor x's face graphic where x is the actor's ID.
This will display actor x's sprite graphic where x is the actor's ID.
This will display party member x's face graphic where x is the position.
This will display party member x's sprite graphic where x is the position.
This will play a sound from the SE folder under that particular filename.
Once the above settings are complete, use this Plugin Command to launch the Gab Window and display the above data. This will put the gab data into a queue which means if there's another gab playing, this will be next in line.
*Note If multiple ShowGabs are used, they will be queued up. The current playing gab will finish playing before moving onto the next. If it so happens that the inputted Gab would have the same exact settings as a previously loaded gab within the same queue, it will not be inserted to prevent any redundancy amongst the conversation.
Once the above settings are complete, use this Plugin Command to clear all the other gabs in the Gab Window and display the above data.
This clears out the Gab Window of the current gab and any gabs queued.

Bill Extends Food Aid to All Oregonians Regardless of Immigration Status
By Eric Tegethoff, Producer | Public News Service
A big gap exists in who can receive food assistance in Oregon, and some lawmakers want to bridge the divide this session.
Federal law excludes people who are undocumented from programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the country's largest food assistance program. The Food for All Oregonians bill would extend food aid to lawful permanent residents, U.S. Compacts of Free Association citizens, and other Oregonians who arrived as immigrants or refugees.
Aldo Solano Mendez, strategic partners manager for the Oregon Food Bank, and co-manager of the Food for All Oregonians campaign explained the group's goal.
"Oregon should be able to offer food assistance to all Oregonians regardless of where they were born. Currently, about 62,000 Oregonians are excluded from vital food assistance programs like SNAP simply because of immigration status or where they were born," Mendez contended.
More than 75 organizations across Oregon have endorsed the legislation. Mendez pointed out immigrant community members and Oregonians of color are more likely to experience food insecurity. According to data from 2020, they were two to three times more likely to be food insecure than white Oregonians.
Petrona Dominguez, leadership and advocacy program coordinator for Adelante Mujeres, an organization working with Latinas, said the group hosted listening sessions with community members affected by food insecurity, which resulted in the bill.
"We asked a selection of questions and the people told us their experiences and what it meant to be accessing food, what their experiences have been, and also how they might envision something that's pertainable to them," Dominguez explained.
Fatima Jawaid Marty, Food for All Oregonians campaign manager at the Partnership for a Hunger-Free Oregon, said ensuring people can access food assistance is also an essential part of the legislation.
"How are we making sure that our immigrant, refugee, and COFA community members are outreached to, that are able to get information in the languages that they need?" Marty asked. "And a huge part of this is having a community navigation program."
The bill has 17 co-sponsors in the House and Senate. Lawmakers will hold a public hearing for the legislation, but it has not yet been scheduled.

In Part 1 of this series, we discussed the research behind the triphasic training method and how it improves performance. In Part 2, we will focus on why and how the eccentric phase improves power.
An eccentric action can be defined as when the muscle attachments closest and farthest from the center of the body (proximal and distal) move in opposite directions. This is often referred to as the lengthening, or yielding, phase, since the muscle is stretched due to a load placed on it.
Now, read this next part very carefully. Every dynamic movement begins with an eccentric muscle action. For example, when you jump, your hips perform a slight dip, eccentrically lengthening the quads and glutes before takeoff. This countermovement is critical to power production. The eccentric phase sets in motion a series of events that pre-load the muscle, thus storing energy to be used in an explosive, concentric and dynamic movement.
Let's go back to the "V" from Part 1 of this series so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. When you look at the graph below, you begin to see the correlation between the eccentric and concentric phases. The steeper the eccentric line is coming into the bottom of the "V," the steeper the concentric line is leaving the bottom of the "V." The greater the velocity of stretching during the eccentric contraction, the greater the storage of elastic energy. The athlete who can handle higher levels of force through an increased stretch reflex will be able to apply more force concentrically and be able to jump higher or use more power in other explosive movements.
I promise you will never see an athlete whose "V" comes in with a gradually descending line (red line) and leaves with a steeply ascending line (blue line) in a maximal effort dynamic movement. For every athlete I checked, if the eccentric line was shallow—i.e., if it had a more gradual downward slope—the concentric line was also shallow, meaning it had a more gradual upward slope. Remember slope is rise/run, meaning the athlete is absorbing less force over a given amount of time.
Now that you understand why it's important to train the eccentric phase of dynamic muscle action, let's get to the how. The most effective means is to perform large, compound movements with a slow eccentric phase.
Table 3.2 shows the rep ranges and sets that are appropriate for this type of training. In addition, the loading variables are allocated by color to show the recommended guidelines for different mesocycles, starting at white and moving up the chart.
To safely maximize eccentric adaptation, I have derived a few rules, which, when followed, yield the best results for athletes performing eccentric training.
1. Due to the intense stress placed on an athlete by eccentric training, its application should be limited to large, compound exercises.
When an athlete is first exposed to eccentric training, his or her physiological system will likely only be able to handle one compound exercise per workout. The exercise should be performed early in the workout while the nervous system is fresh.
2. Never perform slow eccentrics with loads greater than 85 percent of an athlete's one-rep max.
This rule is based on my own risk versus reward analysis. To me, the risk is far too great to have an athlete use weight close to, at or above his one-rep max for an extended period of time. I've seen torn pecs and quads, blown backs and injured shoulders. At the end of the day, you can get the same physiological adaptation using lighter loads for longer times with half the risk.
3. Always use a spotter when performing slow eccentrics.
You must remember that when performing eccentric training, the body is being maximally fatigued. As you can see in Table 3.2, as the load decreases, eccentric time increases. The resulting increase in time under tension means an athlete's muscular system could give out at any point during the lift, so proper spotting is crucial.
4. Always finish an eccentric focused lift with an explosive, concentric movement.
The most important aspect of performance—one that you're constantly trying to improve—is the nervous system. Every jump, cut and throw begins with an eccentric lengthening of the muscle and ends with an explosive concentric contraction. The bar will not necessarily move fast, especially when you use heavy eccentric loads, but the intent to accelerate the bar, changing over from an eccentric to a concentric signaling pattern, must be firmly emphasized with every rep.
Below you will find a table with different eccentric compound exercises. Check below for hyperlinks to videos that show how to properly perform each exercise.
