Creationists sure are sneaky little liars, aren't they? Here's an account of a theologian who was suckered by a creationist film crew — now he's on a DVD that mangles his ideas and postures for young earth creationism and biblical literalism.
Dishonesty must be a universal property of creationists.
SEF says
You're going to have to be a very quick study at theology for that to be like you in the time-span you indicate. You can possibly save on creationists by counting the ones who already filmed you though. ;-)
Kausik Datta says
Poor man… to use a neologism, he has been pwned!! The question is, if the movie ever comes out, can't you and Mr. Heard, as well as other people whose views have been intentionally misrepresented and bent out of shape, have a legal recourse? I think this type of deliberate misrepresentation exceeds the protection of free speech offered by the First Amendment. Perhaps you should talk to your lawyer…
uknesvuinng says
Dishonestly (at least, intellectual dishonesty) is a necessary quality of creationists. You can't argue for such a myth without being dishonest somehow, somewhere. If they practiced honesty with themselves and others, they'd have to abandon their belief pretty quickly.
another says
That's right. It's lies all the way down.
Zeno says
I see those happy-go-lucky people from the Institute for Creation Research are involved in this caper. Not surprised. They are busy little beavers. The last Act & Facts newsletter from ICR highlighted their research program. Yeah, "research." They're into genomics now. And, guess what? They already know the results they're going to get!
ICR joined the field in 2005 with its GENE project, with a goal of analyzing the human genome in order to demonstrate that humans and animals are not distant cousins who sprang from the same microbe living in the primordial soup millions of years ago.
Conclusion first. Research second. Such an efficient way to do "science"! [Link]

Oh no! Roger Moore is involved with quacky creationist videos!
Thanks for ruining another day.
Roger Moore. Chuck Norris. Those fundies have got so action stars who are gonna kick atheist arse in the name of the sky fairy. Be afraid, unless osteoporis get them first….

"This is what you have to do when the idea you defend is fundamentally untrue. As I've said before, the simplest way to defend an untruth is to lie. If you adopt methods of dishonesty as your career, then I can only imagine that you inure yourself to worse sins in all aspects of your life. Creationism breeds immorality.

If someone's willing to lie to themselves about the existence of God, lying to PZ Myers about the subject of a film project is going to seem very trivial.
tinyfrog says
I get the feeling that anyone who decided to be on camera for anyone should make their own video. Webcams are cheap – just set one up and record the entire interview. If any group does anything shady, you can publicize the original, uncut version of the interview. At least you could hold them up as liars in front of the world.

John Pieret says
It's not limited to creationists but seem part and parcel of the whole religious right. Take, for example, the Slidell, Louisiana case involving a portrait of Jesus pointing at the Bible that was hung in the lobby of the City Courthouse over a sign that says "To Know Peace, Obey These Laws." The matter has apparently been resolved but not before the presiding Federal judge got this shot in:
The former judge who bought the picture said in a sworn statement that he had no idea that it had any religious significance. "To me at the time it appeared to be a depiction of a lawgiver," retired Judge James R. Strain Jr. said.
[Federal Judge] Lemelle, who noted several times during the hearing that the picture showed someone with a halo, said he wasn't questioning Strain's veracity.
"But it's a halo. You can tell him I said that," he told [the city's lawyer].

Roger Moore is involved with quacky creationist videos!
Proof positive that there is only one true 007…and he's Scottish.
As previously noted by PZ, Francis Collins was not at all happy with the way Coral Ridge Ministeries misrepresented themselves to him in the making of their Darwin's Deadly Legacy documentary and then used it to accuse Darwin's evolution of being responsible for Hitler's genocides.
You've got to give those creationists points for consistency, as in Lying for Jesus, quote-mining and endlessly repeating the same old well-refuted talking points.
Brian W. says
Isn't there some way we can use Francis Collins to our advantage?
Cameron says
Just out of curiousity, Dr. Myers, but have you ever corresponded with Christopher Heard? He seems to know who you are and is unhappy that you both received the same treatment. I doubt that there's much of anything the two of you might agree on, but one never knows, do one? (to quote an authentic American philosopher).
wildcardjack says
I don't know if they really want to be a pack of liars.
They may feel compelled by Paul
Romans 3:7-8 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
I'm probably wrong, and none of them have ever read that passage, or if they did it was so twisted they don't see anything about lies. Sometimes if feels good to be naughty.
usagi says
Don't blame Roger Moore yet. He's a British actor. Funny thing about that breed, they like to work and tend not to think in the "career" terms Hollywood types do. They plunked down a check–he showed up and read the lines (that's the most likely scenario anyway).
Inoculated Mind says
Wait, are you talking about universals, or properties? Ack… philosophy flashback.
J Myers says
Has anyone seen Friends of God (an HBO documentary about U.S. evangelicals)? My favorite part is when the nutty creationist "teacher" tries to argue against evolution by showing an ape-man picture and then asking the children in the audience if any of their grandparents look like the picture. The children all laugh and say no, but the jaw-dropping irony of this scene is that that inbred twit himself looked just like the damn picture! Apart from the obvious ridiculousness of the argument, the guy's own scruffy, simian face refuted it.
Lying, denying the obvious, proclaiming the absurd and contrived to be the simple, unequivocal truth… these people are mindfucked in ways Orwell couldn't even imagine. I haven't a clue what might get through them.
On a side note, I spellchecked this comment in MS Word, and "mindfucked" slid right by… interesting.
Christopher Heard says
Cameron, I've never corresponded with PZ, but I read Pharyngula and the Panda's Thumb regularly. I'd call myself a "theistic evolutionist," if a label is necessary, more or less similar to Ken Miller (though IIRC, Miller is a little more metaphysical than I would be about "souls"), so we'd agree on a lot regarding the mechanics and processes of evolution–largely because I pay attention to experts like PZ who know what they're talking about.
The production company in question certainly didn't practice full disclosure, but in the spirit of Christian charity I wish to own up to my share of naïveté in not asking enough of the right questions before letting the cameras roll.
Anton Mates says
Chris, from what I gather at the Pepperdine website, your specialty is the history, theology and practice of Old Testament Judaism, correct?
I was going to say that it's surprising they're not ashamed of lying to a fellow Christian, but given your choice of field they probably consider you as firmly hellbound as PZ. I suppose it's an honor to be considered an enemy who's sufficiently distinguished to be quotemined.
Ichthyic says
http://www.talkreason.org/articles/Theistic.cfm
yes. I've often found Collins to be a great example to refer to when someone wants to talk about special creation and altruism, and see a case in point of what happens to a good scientist when they expose themselves to such drivel over an extended period.
the more extreme version of what Collins espouses in that book is detailed by none other than Michael Egnor.
surely you all remember that name?
seriously, having Collins extend himself like that has been a great source of material for me, at least. He's better than Dembski!
I have found myself referring to that all too brief review as a starting point quite often over the last year.
… what's really remarkable about Collins, is you can see his entire cognitive dissonance right in his last book, laid out for all to see.
the first part of the book does a better than passable job examining the evidence in support of the current ToE and common descent, including, of course, the results from the human genome project he headed.
the second part of the book goes off into la-la land, completely ignoring entire fields of endeavor to postulate nonsensical ideas about altruism and "moral law".
It's an absolute textbook (pardon the pun) case of cognitive dissonance.
Anton, I would describe myself a specialist in the history and literature of ancient Israel and Judah, focusing on the period c. 1200-350 BCE. "Judaism," as historians of that religion use the term, is really just barely getting started in the 400s BCE. But that's sort of just a nitpick.
Since the same production company snagged several people in my department, I think it was probably not a case of picking me out of a lineup, but of the producers making false assumptions about our department's theological leanings based on our institution's denominational history.
Bunjo says
Strange but true:
Roger Moore used to play the character of Simon Templar in the days of black and white TV in the UK. Simon Templar's nickname (in the books too) was 'The Saint'.
Graculus says
Dr (I assume) Heard:
OT, but given your specialty maybe you can help me out….
There is an temple site that was continuously occupied and rebuilt up to Roman times that showed a gradual development of montheism in Judea, not a sudden imposition. I can't remember the name of the site, so Google hasn't coughed up the relevent pages.
Graculus, I'm not sure what site that would be. The first one that springs to mind is the presumably Israelite or Judean temple at Arad, but I don't think that one was in use all the way up to Roman times. The Samaritan temple on Mt. Gerizim and the Jewish temple at Elephantine certainly show that Judaism was not centralized in Hellenistic and early Roman times, but I'm pretty sure the Gerizim group would have been strictly monotheistic by that point in history. My memory is fuzzy on how strictly monotheistic the Elephantine Jews were in the Hellenistic period. But anyway, there's plenty of archaeological evidence, plus plenty of indications in the Bible itself (if you take certain parts of it as reliable historical sources on this matter), that ancient Israelite religion was most commonly polytheistic until about the 7th century BCE. In the last quarter of that century, a monolatrous "Yahweh-alone" movement (i.e., "worship only this one god, no matter how many might happen to exist") seems to have arisen–not strictly montheistic, since there's no evidence that this group made metaphysical claims to the effect that no other gods but theirs existed; the "Yahweh-alone" movement was about allegiance, not metaphysics. The first indications of a full-blown radical monotheism appear in biblical texts dated to the middle of the sixth century BCE. Before that, monotheism as such doesn't seem to have been contemplated very much, and the elements within Israel pushing for monolatry seem always to have been a minority, and quite often an out-of-power minority, throughout the existence of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah and even perhaps well into the Hellenistic era. The "Yahweh-alone" Maccabees of Hanukkah fame were apparently a minority in a society that generally had no problems worshiping Zeus/Baal-Shamem alongside of, or as a different guise for, the Jews' ancestral god Yahweh. Hm, I've slipped into "lecture mode" and better stop …
Actually, I appreciate "lecture mode", my main historical interest is in pre- and proto-history, so it's nice to get a digestible chunk of the other stuff.
Scrounging around, I believe I might be thinking of Pella.
and better stop …
Not on my account (and possibly not as far as various other people here are concerned). Lecture mode is quite OK from someone who has a clue (and even better if they can point to specific evidence, such as original texts or sites, in sufficient detail that those things can be checked). It's the clueless who are annoying at it.
Graculus: oh, okay. I don't really know that much about that particular site. I don't recall it having really been an Israelite/Judean/Jewish site in pre-Roman times, though I know it became a sanctuary for Jews fleeing from Jerusalem after their rebellion against Rome c. 66-70 CE. Sorry, I can't illuminate that one much. Now if you want to talk about the Ta'anach cult stand, which strongly seems to conjoin the Israelite God with a goddess … that one I know something about.
I don't recall it having really been an Israelite/Judean/Jewish site in pre-Roman times
That's what makes it so interesting, although it does put it out of your purview. IIRC, (still can't find the original article that sparked my interest), it shows a gradual progression from polytheism to state encouragment of a single/"head" god, to a montheism that isn't Jewish. But there is no sign of any kind of conquest driven change in cult practices, which kinda ruins the OT as history in a big way.
Now if you want to talk about the Ta'anach cult stand, which strongly seems to conjoin the Israelite God with a goddess …
Hehehehe, I'll have to look that one up. IIRC the layout of Solomon's temple is the same as a Canaanite temple to Ba'al, yes?
Oh dear, we seem to have strayed waaaay off topic :-)
But it is the type of stuff that the literalists never talk about.
speedwell says

I'd love it if you would. I can't get to your blog from my work computer (it unaccountably filters your site). Count me in as a vote for your lecture style. :)

a portrait of Jesus pointing at the Bible
The anachronism! It burns! Augh!
Of course, if Our Lord and Savior can play baseball, soccer and football (in his robe and sandals, yet!), I guess pointing at a Bible is no great stretch.
Blake Stacey says
Allegiance-based monotheism — your gods exist, but they only rule in Babylon — also provides an interesting answer for that favorite question of young heretics, "Where did Mrs. Cain come from?" If the scribes who assembled the J, E and P documents together to form the Pentateuch believed that Yahweh was the one true god of Israel but that other gods existed and ruled in other countries, then many stories in Genesis can be read as describing not the ancestors of everybody, but the ancestors of the Israelite people.
I recall they got to discussing this at John Wilkins' place a few weeks ago.
Warren says
Of course it is. They're all delusional, self-lying intellectual cowards.
Of course dishonesty is a universal property to them. Hell, it's the primary fucking requirement.
Graculus:
Yes, more or less. Of course we can't get to whatever remains of Solomon's temple, if any, there might be, because there's this inconvenient mosque in the way. But the description given in the Bible matches a typical Canaanite temple floorplan, and the Israelite/Judean temple at Arad (which shouldn't exist, according to mainstream biblical ideology, but which manifestly does exist) follows the same floorplan, to a tolerable degree of architectural variation.
Isn't that what the comments are for?
Because many self-proclaimed "literalists" aren't really literalists. They pick and choose what to take literally as much as (we) moderates pick and choose what to emphasize and what to characterize as outmoded. Nobody who can generate a passable score on a standardized reading comprehension test should be able in good conscience to interpret both Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 literally at the same time–much less Psalm 89, in which the Israelite God creates the world only after slaying the chaos dragon, but nobody in the YEC camp takes that literally.
MTran says
Hey, thank you, Chris Heard (and Graculus for posing the questions). The conversation may be a bit OT but I love it. And I've bookmarked Christopher's site.
Since no one seems to have responded to Kausik Datta's question about legal recourse:
"I think this type of deliberate misrepresentation exceeds the protection of free speech offered by the First Amendment. Perhaps you should talk to your lawyer…"
The First Amendment, as with the rest of the Bill of Rights, refers to the relationship between citizens and their government, not between the citizens themselves. No free speech issue arises here, but civil actions for slander, misrepresentation, fraud, etc., are certainly on the table.
Phiwilli says
By now, given the bitter experiences of you, Dawkins, Higgaion, et al., it seems that anyone videotaped or filmed – even by respectable main-line folks – should require a duplicate of the whole interview be made, at the interviewer's expense, and given to the interviewee before the interviewer departs. Then there would clear evidence of any distortions, and in egregious cases, maybe some basis for legal action!

In my experience, most vocal creationist are dishonest [i]waaay[/i] beyond what's conceivably necessary.
They also tend to be unaccountably lazy. My "favorite" example is a guy on a message board who tried a variant of the thermodynamic argument. The catch: not only couldn't he be bothered to find out what the 2nd law of thremodynamic actually [i]says[/i], he couldn't be bothered to find out the [i]name[/i] of it. Naturally, when I told him to learn the first thing about a subject before pontificating it the cretinist crowd accused me of intellectual elitism.

After a working weekend there is nothing more I want to do than to sit down and write. Learning from others and their unique perspectives, struggles, and forward progress speaks volumes in this choosing life and believing better arena. Learning how to make the most of this living full, step by step adventure, while learning from those who are walking through one of the biggest fights of their life. Two comments were said to me…"The better journeys are the harder ones" and "I've never had a bad day." The skeptic in me didn't jump right on the…they are totally speaking truth train. Who has never had a bad day?
When I think of struggle my mind automatically goes to Job. Now he had several bad days, yet what was it that kept his perspective. His faithfulness…His love and obedience.
"Though he slay me, yet will I hope in Him…" Job 13:15. The KJV says "Yet I will trust Him." If you're unfamiliar with Job, He lost everything. Family, wealth, status, health. He questioned. He cried out. He didn't stuff or pretend. His suffering and hurt was real and apparent yet he trusted and hoped.
I am learning that God is bigger than our questions. He can handle my honesty. And more than anything He wants true, genuine, relationship. When I first heard about what Jesus did for me personally; when He opened my eyes to who He was; I remember having an elementary thought shortly after. "It's like giving away free brownies." Thankfully I've since grown from minimizing His love to brownies, but I literally pictured a train and free brownies were being thrown all around. Who wouldn't want them. What a gift. I guess a part of me equated love with brownies. Or like getting to wear a state championship jacket with your name on it but you never played a second of the game. He won it single handedly. The only player. The only scorer, defender, champion…yet He gives us His jacket. You get to wear the jacket but you didn't sweat, bleed, take a shot, or even a hit. What manner of love is this. Who can not want to know you more. How couldn't we go all the way with You. I read that Peace means "nothing is broken and nothing is missing." That Jesus is our Peace despite any circumstance, condition, care or concern. As I continue on this live full journey I am learning that there are very really places of loss, grief, hardship, unknowns and uncertainties that brownies can never fix. Places of being slayed yet having hope.
Where does our hope come from? Living in the past full of regret, other people and their opinions, fears and failures, status, position, appeal. What's embroidered on your jacket? What title have you given yourself or others have pegged you for that you think defines you. Where do you believe He is not bigger still?
Psalm 139 tells us…"You have searched me, Lord and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise: you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all of my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely." He perceives our thoughts from afar. He sees. He knows. He is familiar with all of our ways. He loves us despite ourselves, our past, our fears and even our sin.
Love changes thoughts, hearts, and behavior. Love changes the atmosphere and motives. Love changes everything. Who or what is trying to pull off the jacket you were given in faith? Where do you think if I just measure up in this area, if this struggle or circumstance would just go away then I'll be okay? Then I'll be good enough? Then I'll have it all together?
I hope your stitching this week is clear and visible.
Irreplaceable. One of a kind. His idea. The apple of His eye.
Never to be duplicated or repeated. I hope you walk in the light of His love.
Embracing His love and life that He gave for you. His redeeming love that will always be more than enough.
In the Grip of Grace by Max Lucado there is a paragraph about the strength of God's love. I hope you let the questions, fear, and doubt; the guilt and shame that calls your name, melt away as you stay and soak in the reality of His unfailing love.
I hope as you face this week…you let the sun shine on your jacket. That you remember it's the harder journeys that are the better ones. As you walk those forward steps of faith; trusting Him more, hoping in Him, knowing that in Him you have everything you need to live the life He has called you to. Full of grace and truth. He will take you where He wants you to go and give you the strength to stand in whatever you may be facing. And as your faith rises; I hope you take those precious moments to Thank Him along the way.


Goldplat plc, the AIM quoted gold producer focussed in Africa, is pleased to provide a positive technical summary report for its recently acquired c.29 sq km Banka Mining Lease ('Banka' or 'the Project'), in the Amansie East and Asante Akim South Districts on the eastern margin of the highly prospective Ashanti Gold Belt in southern Ghana.
Goldplat's CEO Demetri Manolis said, "This technical report underpins the prospectivity of Banka in Ghana for gold. Early exploration work already suggests that there is potential for a significant resource. Our aim is to rapidly advance this brown-field gold project, convert and raise the existing gold resource to a JORC compliant status, and develop Banka in the mid-term into a profitable mining operation.
"The development of Banka forms part of the Company's strategy of building a solid portfolio of advanced gold mining projects in recognised mineralised areas with production history. We continue to explore and develop our other mining projects in Kenya and Burkina Faso, which I believe in conjunction with Banka, will give Goldplat the potential to generate a target resource base of in excess of one and a half million ounces of gold by 1H 2012. Updates on these developments are expected in the near term, as well as from our platform gold recovery operations in South Africa and Ghana which continue to perform strongly and profitably."
Banka straddles the eastern margin of the Ashanti Gold Belt in southern Ghana. The Project is licensed with the Minerals Commission of Ghana as a Mining Lease which covers 29.63 square kilometres and is located ten kilometres southwest of, and along strike from, Newmont Mining Corporation's ('Newmont') Akyem deposit (circa 14Moz Au).
The geological setting of Banka is similar to that of the Akyem property with Birimian volcanosedimentary rocks occurring to the east of the property and Banket conglomerate horizons trending in a north easterly direction through the western portion. Newmont's Akyem deposit occurs within the Birimian volcanosedimentary units and the massive gold deposits of Tarkwa occur in Banket conglomerate horizons similar to those seen in the central and western portions of Banka concession.
Gold has been mined from one of the Banket conglomerates, the 'eastern conglomerate', for more than one hundred years with the Adansi Syndicate sinking four vertical shafts in 1910. Mine records suggest the Adansi Syndicate were exploiting a resource estimated to be grading at up to 26.9 g/t Au. Today the eastern conglomerate horizon continues to be exploited on a small scale by artisanal miners from nearby villages.
Since the Adansi Syndicate's mining operations (1910 to 1913), very little exploration work has been completed at Banka until Mwana Africa Ltd ('Mwana') entered into a joint venture with the local licence holders in 2006.
Mwana completed two diamond core drilling programmes along the eastern conglomerate on wide spaced drill lines (200-800 metres between sections). This work clearly defined a broad low grade mineralised zone (20 to 50 metres wide @ 0.35 g/t Au) extends from the Banka village to the Tokwae village, a distance of 4.2 km, along the eastern conglomerate. Within the broad, low grade mineralised envelope significant high grade intersections were recorded.
All significant gold mineralisation identified to date at Banka has occurred within the eastern Banket conglomerate horizon. Some of the better drill intersections are presented below however it must be noted that these results are not representative of all historic programs in their entirety.
Mwana attempted to estimate a mineral resource for the eastern conglomerate but found that high grade mineralisation could not be reliably traced between their wide spaced drill sections. Mwana concluded that a Non-JORC 'tangible blue sky mineral resource' containing 262,107 ounces of gold to a depth of 100 metres could be upgraded and increased with infill drilling. This assumption is supported by experiences with other conglomerate hosted ore bodies in Ghana, such as the Tarkwa and Damang gold mines, where tighter grade control drill patterns often increase mineral resources and reserves.
A closer spaced drill pattern for the full length of the conglomerate unit. Mwana limited its drilling to the south western two thirds (2.5 km) of the eastern conglomerate. Closer spaced drilling is likely to identify new high grade zones and to enable a more continuous resource wireframe to be created.
A number of higher grade intersections occur in isolated drill holes over the north eastern portion of the eastern conglomerate. Additional drilling may define resource blocks that are not included in the current resource estimation.
Deeper drilling under the eastern conglomerate. All Mwana drilling was restricted to the top 100 to 150 metres of the eastern conglomerate zone. If continuous zones of >10 g/t mineralisation can be defined then it is suggested that the depth of drilling should be doubled to 250 metres from surface. It should be noted that mineralised Banket conglomerate horizons in Ghana are generally continuous units that have not be subjected to intense deformation. At Tarkwa such conglomerates have been traced for considerable depths.
The western conglomerate horizon which lies approximately 1.3 km to the west of the eastern conglomerate. This zone stretches for 3.7 km in a north easterly direction and has been rock chip sampled at regular intervals. To date results have not been encouraging but if this horizon is the western limb of the same conglomerate unit mined by the Adansi Syndicate then it should be tested by drilling at depth. It should be noted that the northernmost 500 metre portion of the western conglomerate is coincident with anomalous soil geochemistry values. This has not previously been investigated.
The relationship between the eastern and western conglomerate is not clear. Previous interpretations have assumed they are two limbs of a synformal structure and therefore the same horizon - as suggested in the point above. However, it is possible that the eastern conglomerate is part of a much larger regional synform which would mean the western conglomerate is a separate, younger conglomerate horizon. Such an interpretation would greatly increase the depth potential of mineralisation associated with the eastern conglomerate.
The Tarkwaian/Birimian contact and Birimian volcanosedimentary units to the east of Banka provide a similar geological setting to the Akyem deposit so may host a similar style of gold mineralisation. Soil geochemistry has not identified any significant anomaly in this area but subsurface testing of structural targets may be justified in the future.

Why we are not in a post-racial society after eight years of Obama
Eight years ago, many hoped, declared even, that with the election of the first black President, America would finally enter a post-racial society. In hindsight, it seems silly to believe that centuries of institutionalized slavery, segregation, degradation and disenfranchisement could be wiped out with a single event, however powerful. But as distrustful, anxious and divided the country is today, as hopeful and united it was in 2008.
Obama's election did prove the country had become less racist, but in and of itself it did nothing to improve the position of African Americans. During the eight years he was in office, there were a lot of steps Obama could have taken in the direction of righting the remnants and reverberations of centuries of wrong. Getting elected President was not the finish line, it was the starting point.
Of course today's racism is not your grandfather's racism—or even your father's. Racism is no longer policy in the United States (it is baffling that there are people alive today who were born when it still was). The American government no longer enforces racism, its laws are no longer racist and it no longer tolerates people to be racist. That doesn't mean there aren't any white racists in positions of power who try to enforce laws in a racist way—just as there are black racists in positions of power, it is not 1960 anymore—but that is still a far cry from state officials enforcing segregation in schools and buses with the law on their side.
And yet, a disproportionate number of Blacks still grows up poorer than Whites, has less food security, less access to quality education and receives less attention from their parents because their mothers are working long hours and their fathers are in jail (or worse). This in turn makes it harder for young Blacks to get into (a good) college, leading to another generation being stuck in minimum wage jobs.
What causes this self-perpetuating negative cycle? Is it racism? Most black activists and black civil rights organizations like the NAACP and Black Lives Matter say yes. They argue that Whites continue to dominate society and discriminate against Blacks, especially through disenfranchisement and the criminal justice system.
That Whites continue to dominate American society is a fact. They also constitute the largest racial demographic, though, making up about 62 percent of the population (the figure rises to 77 percent when including White Hispanics). Blacks are the largest racial minority, accounting for about 13 percent of the population.
If you are surprised at how low the percentage of African Americans is, you are not the only one. Gallup research reveals that a majority of Americans significantly overestimate the percentage of the population that is African American, putting it at 30 percent or higher. Close to one fifth of the population even thinks it's 50 percent or more. According to Gallup, lower-income and nonwhite Americans are most likely to overestimate U.S. populations of Blacks and Hispanics. The average nonwhite estimates that 40 percent of the U.S. population is black and 35 percent is Hispanic.
Such overestimation could make America seem more racist than it actually is, since the correct, proportionate slice of black representation in leading roles in politics, business and culture is three times(!) smaller than nonwhites estimate it should be.
The government institution that black civil rights activists most often point to as evidence of continued widespread, systemic racism by a white-controlled government is the criminal justice system. African Americans are more likely to be stopped by the police, searched by the police, more likely to be arrested for possession and/or dealing of drugs, more likely to be incarcerated and sentenced to longer prison terms.
Anti-racist activists have for decades maintained that the criminal justice system must be racist, simply because such a disproportionate high number of black males is in jail. Given this indisputable fact—Blacks were incarcerated at a rate more than five times that of Whites in 2016—arguing that the cause could be something other than racism seems almost racist by default.
Yet a recent study found no evidene of racial discrimination in criminal justice processing when self-reported violent behavior and IQ are taken into account. In other words, according to this study African American males are indeed significantly more likely to be arrested and incarcerated than Whites, but they are also significantly more violent and have lower IQs than Whites.
Now, before everyone flies off the handle, poor education has long been associated with lower scores on intelligence tests, and if kids are left to their own devices from a young age they are also likely to become more violent.
Which begs the question: can society turn someone into a criminal? Can it make someone more violent, less articulate, increase the chance someone ends up in jail, by withholding parental care, food, the chance of a good education? I would say so. Victor Hugo's Jean Valjean didn't steal a bread because he didn't want to pay for it, but because he couldn't.
Perhaps, by constantly talking about White racism, the supposedly racist criminal justice system and a police force that supposedly uses lethal force more often against Blacks than Whites—a point of view that has been disproven by a recent Harvard study—black civil rights groups are focusing too much on the results of systematic unequal opportunity instead of its causes.
African American history is rooted in centuries of slavery, oppression, segregation and forced ignorance. After the last state-sponsored racist barriers were taken down in the 1960s, what remained was a free but poor and undereducated black minority population that had to compete with a never enslaved, better educated, richer white majority population.
Though this new society could be called post-racist—at least from a governmental policy point of view—it is certainly not post-racial, considering how little has been done to remedy African Americans' unequal and unfair starting point. And that situation still exists today.
Giving lofty speeches and pardoning black criminals may provide hope and relief, but they do nothing to attack the underlying causes of racial inequality. For that, it would have been better if the first black President of the United States had thrown his weight behind free education and a guaranteed basic income for all citizens.
Because when the next generation of African Americans gets an equal start in life, when they get an equal chance at a good education, an equal chance to prove themselves and be all they can be, they won't have to be pardoned by presidents. Perhaps then we can start talking about living in a post-racial society.

Q: Quadratic Calculator gives Nan I'm writing a react app to solve the quadratic formula. When I enter a=1 b=7 c=10, or any valid numbers for a quadratic, it returns NaN[Object]NaN. Can someone please help, here is my code:
  quadraticFormula(a, b, c) {
    var root = -b + Math.sqrt(b, 2) - (4 * a * c);
    var plusAnswer = (-b + Math.sqrt(root))/(2*a);
    var minusAnswer = (-b + Math.sqrt(root))/(2*a);

    document.getElementById('answers').innerHTML = plusAnswer +
 + minusAnswer;
  }

A: Your formula for root in incorrect. It should be Math.sqrt((b * b) - (4 * a * c))
Also, you are not using - in minusAnswer.
function quadraticFormula(a, b, c) {
  var root = Math.sqrt((b * b) - (4 * a * c))
  var plusAnswer = (-b + root) / (2 * a)
  var minusAnswer = (-b - root) / (2 * a)

  document.getElementById('answers').innerHTML = plusAnswer +
 + minusAnswer;
}

It all starts with a 3-legged dog.
In a recent post I discussed how my primary business is affiliate marketing. While it's taken me a few years to make it semi-automated, I still think it's a great option for people who want to have freedom while running a remote business. As of today, I spend an average of five hours a week on this business. The best part is… it generates a sizeable and predictable amount of income.

Q: Set prefix for imported Spring XML resources I have a Spring application context file that imports several other resources. However some of the resources in the imported files have similar names for example include1.xml has something like
<bean id="MyBean" class="...">
...
</bean>

The same bean id is used in include2.xml. Is there a way to set a prefix to the included beans or is there a way so restrict the scope of the included resource. For example something like.
<import resource="include1.xml" prefix="foo"/>
<import resource="include2.xml" prefix="bar"/>

Now in the parent file I can refer to foo.MyBean and bar.MyBean. If no such system exists is there any way to restrict scope so there is no bean id collisions, what is the best practice here?

A: No, there is no way to namespace the beans based on a file(beans defined later with the same name will override the one's defined earlier) however, you have the freedom to give them your own "name" - so potentially you can name all beans in your foo file:
<bean name="foo.bean1" class=../>
<bean name="foo.bean2" class=../>

and in your bar file, thus namespacing them manually:
<bean name="bar.bean1" class=../>
<bean name="bar.bean2" class=../>

This $3,000 USD Saber Gas Grill uses a unique infrared technology to make it more efficient, reliable and easy to use. Saber is a sister company of Char-Broil but aims at a much higher market. This Saber Elite is constructed entirely of stainless steel, and good quality stainless, right down to the nuts and bolts. It is well constructed and designed to last for a very long time. While a true infrared grill, this isn't the style that reaches ridiculous temperatures.
The cooking temperature of this gas grill reaches more than 700 degrees F, but the true value of this cooking system is that it can hit these temperatures with a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption and without the risk of flare-ups. This is a simple gas grill that is very easy to use.
Complete 304 stainless steel construction.
Comes with a full rotisserie kit and cover standard.
Water will get inside the grill and drip pan if left uncovered.
Three 8,000 BTU stainless steel tubular burners under stainless steel infrared emitters in separate and independent heat zones.
500 square inches of primary cooking area for a total of 675 square inches of grilling space.
24,000 BTU maximum output from the main burners.
18,000 BTU dual burner side under a flush mounted cover.
Stainless steel U-shaped folded sheet metal cooking grates.
Individual temperature gauges for each burner mounted above burner knobs.
Two internal halogen lights (grill must be plugged in for lights to work).
Cover and rotisserie system included.
Convertible between Propane and Natural Gas.
Made in China by Saber Grills and sold through specialty retailers.
A few years ago, Char-Broil's parent company W.C. Bradley decided to take advantage of Char-Broil's infrared technology and launch a new product line, Saber Grills. Saber is a completely independent company with separate management, design, and development, but relies on Char-Broil's purchasing and shipping power to hold down costs. What Saber was tasked with, was to build a better gas grill. Using an improved version of the Quantum infrared technology, these grills turn a low BTU output into high-temperature grilling. The real standout feature of this grill, however, is the attention to detail and quality construction. Saber is uncompromising in these areas, even if that means charging more.
Like conventional gas grills, this Saber grill has three stainless steel tubular burners in the bottom. In this grill, the burners are in separate boxes so that heat generated by each burner has a heat zone of its own. The burners focus their heat on a stainless steel sheet of perforated metal that sits directly under the U-shape cooking grates. This means that virtually no drippings get through and little hot air reaches the food. Cooking is completely in contact with the hot grates and heat radiated by the metal emitter and grates. This means a dryer heat, but with very little airflow to rob foods of their moisture.
For the griller, the important part really isn't how it works. The design is actually quite simple. What is important is how simple this grill is to use. Since grease never reaches the burners this grill doesn't have flare-ups. The infrared heat is evenly distributed and the airflow through the cooking grates actually reduces the risk of foods burning. As far as gas grills go, this might just be the least problematic grill ever made. It is practically foolproof and if you haven't grilled before you don't have to worry about learning to use this grill. Don't be fooled by the hype, though. This gas grill isn't radically hotter than most gas grills on the market. The "undergrate" thermometers read about 100 F higher than the actual cooking grate surface temperature.
The Saber SSE1500 is a standard sized 3-burner gas grill. This model has a unique side burner. The dual-burner side can pump out 18,000 BTUs making it very powerful and one of the best features on this grill. True, side burners are one of the least used gas grill features, but that is partly due to their lack of real power. This is a serious side burner that is worth firing up. Additionally, there are internal lights for grilling in the dark (grill must be plugged in for lights to work). The ignition is battery powered and there is an igniter on each burner so the grill doesn't need to be plugged in order to function, just for the lights.
As with any good grill, there are a few small issues with this one. The most notable is the rain. Of course, you should cover your grill and this one comes with a cover. When rain falls on the hood of this grill it runs down the front and some of it pours inside, filling the full-width drip pan. Since very little drippings will ever reach the drip pan it won't make the same kind of mess that happens when water gets inside other grills, but it is still an annoyance.
Saber grills are not a mass-market product and are only available through specialty retailers. See the Saber website to find a dealer near you.


It has been many, many months since my last entry and of course much has past.
This past year, I took on my first attempt as Event Steward for the Canton's Fox Hunt event for 2011. I was encouraged by my peers to do a Japanese theme for that year. It was a tough start for me since our usual event site was already booked for our available event dates, so the hunt for a new site became the focus of event planning. A site was eventually found. A beautiful place that was fairy centrally located, but the layout caused some problems for event flow. Of course it was not all doom and despair. It was fun to have the opportunity to educate my fellow populace on Japanese culture. The Canton members even put forth the extra effort to make their own garments to wear for the event, after a small lecture I gave for the group on Japanese fashions. I personally had fun putting together the nobori (Japanese banners) and the feast tokens. We gave out paper fans of the Canton's colors as a site token. It was a warm and humid day, I'm sure the fans came in handy. The day concluded with a feast of grand illusion. We adorned our guests with an authentic Japanese meal, complete with decorative banners of Japanese calligraphy, ikebana flower arrangements, table settings with proper eating utensils and traditional music. Arigatougozaimasu to my Feast Steward, Lady Kara Atladottir, for taking on the great task of researching and creating an unbelievable menu.
As an added level to the atmosphere, we asked The Honorable Lord Kuji Kaoni Musashi to be our cultural advisor throughout the evening, to help inform our guests of proper table edicate and proceedures, and to perform his feets of magic during our final moments of the evening. My gratitude to THL Kuji for his assistance and for his Kyodo demonstration earlier in the day. And my gratitude to Lady Heather. She was my right-hand man all day and kept me sane. I cannot say enough good things about my Canton. They are a helpful, hardworking, efficient group as a whole. If a task needed to be done, they had it covered before I could ask. At the end of the day, I was so impressed at how prompt tear-down and clean-up happened. They're amazing! That event could not have happened without them.
Pennsic came shortly before the event. I always seem to sum up my time at Pennsic the same way every year...It was Pennsic. There is always fun-times. There is always bad-times. And something always gets damaged. At least this past year no one went to the emergency room. Pennsic is typically the one-time of year I get to see long-distance friends. Oddly enough it's also the one-time of year I get to see even some of my local friends, due to schedules. Lady Celeste and I attended a roundtable on Courtesans, hosted by Lady Lalitadasa. It was wonderful to meet other ladies interested in Courtesan history and portrayal, so much so that we're planning a Courtesan social for this coming year. Details are still being polished at this time. Surprisingly it was a slow year for the typical rushed Pennsic projects. The only large project I had to do was sew together temporary walls for a EZ-Up tent, since Kuji's son did not have a tent for this year. In future months I will design a new cover for the entire frame to make it look more like a Japanese style pavilion. Our camp hosted its annual sake party again, which has been renamed Bon Festival since we've branched out into more activities beside sake. We had a wonderful turnout. Brian, who always does a wonderful job, was back again this year as our bar tender. There was a good variety of treats to snack on, including miso and udon noodle soup! The Honorable Lady Elaine Ladd kept the hot noodles coming and Lord Ottokar made an awesome dashi (broth) over the camp fire. Many of our guest we're pleased to have hot food and drink on a cold, damp night. The seats around the Go board were never empty and neither were the seats around the campfire, especially during Kuji's traditional story-telling of the Cattle Raid and his newest adventures with the Lightening Gods. We're looking forward to next Pennsic, since this will be the year for camp upgrades. We're planning to have jinmaku (Japanese encampment walls) and possibly a new Torii gate.
The fall and winter months are a quiet time for me. I am typically focused on other projects during this season. But I did take on a new role as the Midlands Regional Webminister in September 2011. My first act was giving the website a facelift. It had been many years since it was overhauled. Now that the basic changes have been done, I am planning another overhaul soon. With the assistance of our Regional Seneschal, The Honorable Lady Caitriona MacDhonnachaidh, we're restructuring how the site will be laid out and function as a information hub for the Midlands Populace. You can see the website in its current form at http://www.midrealm.org/midlandsweb/. I enjoy helping where I can and when I can, and there was a recent challenge set out to the Middle Kingdom populace to produce as many scrolls and scroll blanks as possible to donate to their Majesties to help fill the need for award scrolls. I did have the time to complete as much as I would have liked to, but I contributed 23 scroll cases to the cause. When it was time to present all the scroll blanks and cases, there were a total of 270 scroll blanks and cases to present to their Majesties. Our Barony of Ayreton of course turned in the most, totally 150 scroll blanks and 160 scroll cases. Our Barony Rules!


The Tiny Bubble earrings in 14K yellow gold are the most delicate earrings from the designer's Oil collection. These mini earrings feature 2 open circles of different sizes on a stud. Perfect for mixing and matching if you have multiple piercings.


Junction Reefs was an operating gold mine in the early 80's. Located 45mins outside Orange NSW, Junction Reefs has been fully rehabilitated. This site was originally mined by the Chinese in the early 1900s alongside many other alluvial gold miners. The site is now home to a number of heritage sites and provides habitat for a highly diverse range of native species of fauna and flora.

Jules Védrines aboard his Morane.

Publication date: March 2016
Jules Védrines is a character that is both unclassifiable and yet very characteristic of the beginnings of aviation. Mobilized in 1914 in the new air force, his talents will enable him to develop new air practices.
Védrines is on board his plane, a Morane N fighter, a device used in the early days of air warfare to shoot down German observation planes and balloons. The aviator is above all known for having increased special operations behind German lines. On board his baptized plane The cow, he dropped off officers seven times in occupied regions, before resuming them in broad daylight. These perilous missions earned him numerous military decorations and made him a hero of popular novels. Védrines used the system developed by Roland Garros to fire machine guns through the propeller of his plane, like him using a deflector placed on the propeller blades to deflect bullets that might have struck them. The photo shows the aircraft's firing system very well and allows us to understand the difficulties of using such instruments. After the band fired, Védrines then had to reload his hand machine gun by inserting a new twenty-five round magazine into the weapon, while piloting his plane and attempting to stay in his opponent's wake.
The interest of photography is to present Védrines, a true hero of both times of peace and war, in action with his unique style. Cigarette in the beak as he takes off, he is both focused and sure of himself, like a hunter, a raptor. He poses for the photographer and the mechanic, who awaits his orders and actively participates in the scene. Exceptionally sharp for the time, this photo also shows a few levers and indicators on its instrument panel, as well as the wiring systems that connected the fuselage to the wings. He is without a parachute, like all the aviators of the Great War. Such a shot shows in an exemplary fashion how aviation embodies this very particular dimension of the Belle Epoque, where feat, heroism, speed, technology, sport and modernity come together in a kind of philosophy and ethics of energy.

Next: New markets for modern precast technology in Russia
New partition wall production lines with different automation and capacity levels
Designed and inspired by user experience
The non-load bearing Acotec precast partition wall panels have been manufactured by over 60 precasters around the world for almost 30 years. The proven technology is now featured with three new automation and capacity levels. Product development was based on long-term dialogue with customers from around the world.
Different market areas mean different precast needs, and the natures of our customers' businesses vary a great deal. Depending on the required level of automation or the optimal production capacity, there are three technology levels to choose from. A production line can now be designed for any investment size, due to easy and profitable manufacturing of the partition wall at either the SEMI, PRO or EDGE technology level. "A good starting point is often the PRO line. There is always a possibility to upgrade with new features and modules", says Product Manager Jani Eilola from Elematic.
The SEMI line incorporates automated key processes with a capacity of 80 square metres per hour, and is operated by five to six operators. The PRO line has a higher automation level and has the capacity of 100 square metres, requiring personnel of two to four persons. Top-rate automation of the EDGE line allows a capacity of 120 square metres. The line can be operated with only two operators
Cutting the assembly time in half
The quick commissioning gives our customers the competitive edge they are looking for.
Due to the numerous options to choose from, the production line can be equipped according to any need. Certain parts of the Acotec line can be prefabricated. The smart manufacturing process combined with an assembly time shortened by 50 per cent to just one month – primarily due to new automation technology – makes the new Acotec line appreciated by the leading precasters around the globe. "The quick commissioning gives our customers the competitive edge they are looking for", says Eilola.
Improved safety and reliability
Improvements on safety and reliability have been introduced throughout the production line. Safety sensors and light curtains have been added. High-level reliability has been considered in, for example, conveyors and plate handling.
A remarkable improvement made possible by the modern automation system is that the pace of the plate handler can be speeded up. Developing this earlier challenging work phase has raised the capacity of the whole production line. "All in all, the level of automation is very high", says Eilola.
Diagnostics and reporting made easy
One of the most important customer benefits of the new Acotec line is the bus technology with comprehensive diagnostics and reporting features. The new automation technology enables easy access to accurate data from the system, makes locating and correcting a possible process fault faster, and offers the possibility to run reports from the system.
The reports include information on the amount and weight of finished product types, mass used, and the hours of operation of the modules in the product line. The information gathered from the process can be utilised, for example, in successful preventive maintenance.
Technical challenges solved
Product Manager Jani Eilola and Chief Engineer Heikki Lehtonen are happy about the result of the development work to the Acotec line
"With the PRO line as a starting point, it was an interesting challenge to design the more basic SEMI line, a choice for precasters starting up the business. With the customers' best interest in mind, the restacker, for example, was kept automated. Combining the restacker and the plate handler into one module in the SEMI line lowers the required investment cost, but keeps the capacity at a sufficient level.", says Eilola.
The cost of a SEMI production line equals about 75 per cent of that of a PRO line, but the core of the line is still automated.
User experiences to the design table
The Acotec production line can now be designed for any investment size.
"The design process of the new Acotec line with the three technology levels began with going through all of the feedback and development ideas received from customers", says Chief Engineer Heikki Lehtonen from Elematic. The collected data was analysed and used as a basis for the changes and additions in the design of the production line. One of the greatest challenges was to get the same primary components, such as an extruder, saw and stacker, to suit lines with different automation and capacity levels. "Different design options were compared to each other. The best option was chosen according to the appropriate combination of operability, productivity and cost level", says Lehtonen.
Quality construction with speed
Advanced technology has sustained Acotec through the decades

"Harrington, Delaware – the world's best-kept secret. It only took us 40 years to get here, so we're going to take in every second of it," Thorogood announced at the Grandstand, possibly to help take the sting out of the fact that it was his first-ever show in Kent or Sussex County. "We have never had the opportunity to play the Delaware State Fair before and we hope the is the start of a long, beautiful relationship."
The Brandywine High School graduate's younger years in Delaware weren't always smooth, he has said in the past, recalling times when he was bullied for having long hair. So when he dug deep into his catalog for his 1993 cover of "Get a Haircut," it was payback time if one of those bullies happened to be in the crowd.
The ever-rebellious Thorogood was going to take a victory lap on one of the state's biggest stages.
He smiled as he sang the song's crowning verse, "I hit the big time with my rock 'n' roll band/The future's brighter now than I'd ever planned/I'm 10 times richer than my big brother Bob/But he's got a haircut he's got a real job."
Thorogood and his musically muscular four-piece tore through a feel-good, saxophone-laced 90-minute set filled with his blues-based rock hits, which was peppered with Delaware references and shout-outs.
While his band dropped the word Delaware from their name years ago, it usually comes out of retirement when Thorogood plays a show in his home state and he did not disappoint this time around.
"I have good news. I found out today that the Delaware Destroyers' probation officers have allowed them out for 24 hours for this one engagement," he said. "However, I'll do everything in my power to get arrested tonight. If someone has to go to jail for rock 'n' roll, it might as well be me!"
STORY: Love Seed Mama Jump, Delaware's king of covers, turns 25
STORY: Diversity, upgrades mark 22nd annual People's Festival
The fans at the state fair's Grandstand seemed to forgive Thorogood for the four-decade wait, although empty chairs on the floor and in the rear track seating area might mean that not everyone was quite ready to come out for his downstate debut.
Still frisky after all these years, Thorogood strutted throughout his well-honed show, shaking his hips and flicking his tongue. Even though the week's oppressive heat had lifted, the humidity had not and Thorogood had to change his shirt offstage halfway through his show.
The night was filled with his best-known re-worked blues and country covers, including an 11-minute run through John Lee Hooker's "One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer," Hank Williams' "Move it on Over" and the night's encore, "Madison Blues" by Elmore James. During Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love?", Thorogood slipped in, "My times in Delaware can't be beat."
Thorogood also had some tricks up his sleeve, delivering a rare version of The Sonics' "Shot Down," along with "Tail Dragger" by Howlin' Wolf, which was transformed into a trademark Thorogood rocker.
But it was his biggest hit, the Thorogood-penned original "Bad to the Bone," that had the crowd on their feet. And he was not about to let the moment pass without giving it a First State injection.
"I make a rich woman beg and I'll make a good woman steal," he sang. "I'll make an old woman blush and a Delaware girl squeal."
The 10-day festival closes Saturday and the blues rock will keep coming. The fair's craft beer festival will be headlined by Blues Traveler with Rehoboth Beach's Lower Case Blues opening.
