When Luther issued his 95 theses, there was already a surprisingly vibrant understanding of the Scriptures among the faithful, beyond the universities and the walls of monasteries, waiting to be tapped and shaped.
Also an unease about indulgences. The furore ensuing his act of defiance made Luther a celebrity. This had two effects. The well-known one is that it made him a hot property in the rapidly growing publishing industry. It also gave him the confidence to pursue his own theological insights in more innovative and disruptive directions. His central doctrine 'justification by faith alone' was formulated from the letters of St. Paul. It demanded accepting one's own utter incapacity as a sinful human being to contribute one iota towards one's own justification.
At a stroke the entire economy of late medieval Catholicism was swept away.
And there was also the blow to self-esteem, to realise one's own incapacity for good.
Yet St James says: "Faith without good works is dead." The answer to this challenge is that faith by its very nature, bore fruit in works of charity. It was not a licence for the blithe disregard of moral principles.
It got very heated. Wars were fought. The stiff decrees of the Council of Trent snuffed out whatever faint hopes of compromise and reconciliation that still lingered on. I have always had a big problem with excommunication as a way to solve anything, from my own personal history and certainly not on keeping with my understanding of the inclusiveness of Christ's message.
How we interpret the past is subjective. We believe what we want to believe depending on which history books we read. For some the Middle Ages was a period blighted by superstition, intolerance and fear. They add that the values we now claim to hold dear: freedom of conscience, reason, and principled resistance to corruption, all are fruits of the Reformation.
The open-endedness of the Reformation process right from the start in the early 1520s, meant the reformers kept dividing among themselves and still don't know how to stop.
Many of the commemorative events that are being organised across the globe are being conducted in a spirit of respect and ecumenical understanding. The mutual good will of these negotiations since Vatican Two has led to the acceptance that most of what we Christians now believe is shared in common. Let us continue to pray for that ultimate healing and reconciliation so that, as Christ himself said, may there be one flock and one shepherd.

Q: TS2531: Object is possibly 'null' even if I check that it is not I get this error from TS compiler: "TS2531: Object is possibly 'null'" in the following code:
const routeParamsCheck = (
  routeParams: unknown
): routeParams is { slug: string; locale: string } => {
  return (
    routeParams !== null &&
    typeof routeParams === 'object' &&
    'slug' in routeParams &&
    'locale' in routeParams
  );
};

I would like to know why it happens at this line: 'slug' in routeParams (it is quite obvious for me that routeParams can not be null at this point). What is the right way to rewrite this code. Thanks!

A: Apparently, after the line routeParams !== null, typescript still considers the type to be unknown. Ie, nothing has changed as far as the types are concerned. I'm not sure why this is (perhaps it's a bug or known limitation of the unknown type), but there's a pretty simple fix you can do: just swap the order of the first two lines:
  return (
    typeof routeParams === 'object' &&
    routeParams !== null &&
    'slug' in routeParams &&
    'locale' in routeParams
  );

That way the first line will narrow unknown to object | null, and object | null can be narrowed to object by the second line.

Outstanding Technical Contributions Award 2017 – Olga Sorkine-Hornung
Olga Sorkine-Hornung is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at ETH Zurich, and is the current head of the Institute of Visual Computing. She received her degrees from Tel Aviv University, including her PhD in 2006. She spent two years as a post-doc at TU Berlin and three years at the Courant Institute of the New York University before establishing at her current position at ETH Zurich in 2011.
Olga has an outstanding record of contributions in geometry processing. Starting with her paper on Laplacian surface editing, her work has led to shape representations and algorithms that make it easier to author graphics content interactively. She has made contributions to many areas of graphics where problems have some aspects that can be characterized geometrically, such as the introduction of differential and linear rotation-invariant coordinates for meshes, the as-rigid-as-possible mesh editing, the use of bounded biharmonic weights for real-time deformation, image editing and content aware retargeting. She has published a high amount of papers in the top journals, including a steady stream of papers at Eurographics and SIGGRAPH. Her work spans a great range from fundamental theoretical issues in geometry processing, including reconstruction, filtering, parameterization, meshing and compression of geometric data, to very practical methods for computer graphic content creation, including artistic modelling techniques, digital fabrication, computer animation and digital image manipulation. Her technical contributions usually have a special insight that opens new solutions to complex problems with clever and key ideas that may seem apparently simple but produce elegant, robust and efficient algorithms. The remarkable impact of her research, with an increase of more than 150 citations per month at the beginning of 2017, is beyond any doubt.
The contributions of Olga Sorkine-Hornung are not only advancing the theory but have also produced two US patents on Sketch-based generation and editing of quad meshes and Transfusive image manipulation.
Olga Sorkine-Hornung has chaired many program committees, including EG 2015, SGP 2010 and Pacific Graphics 2017, and has a remarkably extensive participation on conference committees. She has been leading many research projects, including the 2012-2017 ERC Starting Grant on "Intelligent Shape Modeling". She is a popular and reputed conference keynote speaker, including the invited keynote lecture "Interactive shape modeling: progress and challenges" at Eurographics 2013.
Olga Sorkine-Hornung received the 2008 EUROGRAPHICS Young Researcher Award and the 2011 ACM SIGGRAPH Significant New Researcher Award. She is a Fellow of Eurographics since 2015. She received the best paper award at SGP 2014 and 3DV 2016, together with the SGP Software Award 2015 for the geometric processing library libigl, with other co-contributors. She won the Intel Early Career Faculty Award in 2013. Since winning these awards she has been even more active and has mentored many productive students (a total of 18 PhD students and postdocs between 2009 and 2016) who have now become very active researchers worldwide. She is presently supervising 5 students.
Eurographics is extremely pleased to recognize Olga Sorkine-Hornung with the 2017 Outstanding Technical Contributions Award.

Actress Thulisile Phongolo who was fired for making her maid work till 12 midnight gets another job
THULISILE Phongolo has scored herself a new role.
The actress, best known for playing Namhla Diale in Generations: The Legacy, has joined the cast of Rockville, where she will be playing a character called Buhle.
Thuli described Buhle as a go-getter.
"She is such a layered character and a lot of people will relate to her. She shows what happens when you make decisions that are out of character and how you were raised," she said.
"Playing her has been amazing and I like that she's a risk-taker.
"She's going through a journey that will be interesting for the viewers.
"It's filled with unexpected twists and turns. In short, I can say her storyline is juicy.
"On her journey, she will realise not everyone is what you think they are and you must take everything with a pinch of salt."
Thuli said although she enjoyed breathing life into Buhle, the role came with a set of challenges.
"She really challenged me to dig deep within myself and into my Zulu heritage. She's from KZN and speaks proper isiZulu and I had to ensure I nailed it," she said.
"Buhle is a game-changer. People are going to love and appreciate that about her as well as the fire she brings into the story," she said.
Thuli, as her fans fondly call her, said she hoped she wouldn't drop the ball.
"A lot of people have come to the show and set the bar high through their performances. I hope to keep the torch burning."
Her journey in the industry had filled with many lessons.
"I'm grateful for everything. From hereon I can only go upward," she said.
Thuli Phongolo come under fire on social media after her post about maids rubbed people the wrong way and backfired against her.
The actress played the role of Namhla Diale, the daughter of Lucy Diale (Manaka Ranaka) on the soap opera Generations: The Legacy between 2014 and 2018. She left the show when her character was written off in 2018.
The actress's post about how her maid had stayed up till well after midnight to help her undress did not come well with most people. Writing on her Instagram stories, Thuli Phongolo wrote,
"Guys, not my helper waiting for me till 00:28 to help me with my dress and my PJs laid out for me! I appreciate her so much, I can't!!!!"
Unsurprisingly, the post caused mixed reactions among social media users with some saying that if Thuli really wants to appreciate her maid and domestic help, she should ensure that she works reasonable hours. Others accused the actress of being insensitive by actually posting this on social media.

Women with disabilities (WWD) from countries around the world, including Ghana, deserve the right to a public education, but are often deprived of it. The World Report on Disability estimates that literacy rates for WWD may be as low as 1%. The World Bank Report also reports that more than one billion people may experience some form of disability, with as many as one in five experiencing significant disabilities. In developing countries, the prevalence of disability and its impacts on a wide range of developmental outcomes are usually more significant than they are in countries with well-established educational and social systems. Children and women with disabilities are especially disadvantaged with respect to school enrollment, educational attainment, and learning. The current study used a critical, feminist phenomenological lens (Alcoff, 2000 p.39) to explore the access and experiences with education for ten Ghanaian women with disabilities. Using methods associated with narrative inquiry, this paper reports findings related to the women's positive and negative experiences, as well as recommendations for improvements to practice and policy to help remove barriers to access to education.

Season starts here for Owls – Much more than just bragging rights at stake in latest showdown between resurgent Sheffield Wednesday and Chris Wilder's high-flying Blades
March 04, 2019 / Andy Elliott
"Win and we'll all start dreaming of the play-offs. Lose and Untidy will be back in the automatic promotion spots and we'll be left thinking of next season."
Guest writer Andy Elliott is a lifelong fan of Sheffield Wednesday and a former national newspaper sports journalist. He now runs his own sports media organisation.
ANOTHER derby, another manager. But it feels like another world.
After not-so-jovial Jos, we've now got the Brucie Bounce. After the man with the well-trimmed 'tache, we've now got the bruiser with the bashed-in mug. But don't let looks fool you. At last, we have a proper football man who gets the club, who knows the Championship, and who has four promotions to the Premier League.
After months of angst, dross and plain dullness, there's now a more optimistic feel around Hillsborough. Not that any of us really, really, REALLY believe we can get into the playoffs (do we?!). But win against the Blunts and suddenly sunshine will break out across S6.
For lifting our season out of the s…ter, Bruce can have all the plaudits. But he should share them with Lee Bullen. The Scotsman, reprising his role as caretaker, steadied the squad after Luhukay's departure, put some fire in their bellies, and made them remember just who they were playing for. Bully has got to be one of the heroes of Hillsborough when it comes to a retrospective in years to come. He won't be in the pantheon that includes Waddle and Hirst, Sheridan and Sterland, or even McCalliog and Megson [Don and Gary], but he'll be worth a very honourable mention.
There haven't been many players or coaches more committed to the cause than Bullen. He played in all 11 positions, he captained the club to that pivotal play-off promotion in 2005 and in his last game helped keep us in the second tier.
And in recent years, he's been there to clean up the mess and tidy the place up for the next manager off the rank.
After the strange situation where the likes of Westwood and Hutchinson were marooned in the stiffs, Bullen reintroduced them and it's no coincidence that form picked up, was carried on by Bruce's assistants and then the man himself.
Barring an awful day at the KFC (surely, KCom? – Ed) Stadium in Hull, Wednesday have largely looked what they were meant to be at the start of the season: one of the better teams in the division.
Of course, that can all go out of the window against Sheffield Untidy. Hutch, as we all know, likes a scrap, and with Scots Bannan and Fletcher in the spine of the team, not to mention Forestieri, it could get feisty.
But what Wednesday do have in those players, and others, are hugely experienced characters who might be thinking there won't be many more shots at getting back into the Premier League. We've also got the promise of Iorfa and the on-loan Hector and Aarons and they won't be fazed by a bundle against the Blunts.
The remainder of this season and next will show us if Bruce can make it five promotions and earn a place in Hillsborough folklore.
Bruce has a remarkable record – twice going up with Birmingham and twice with Hull City – and all four times have come in the near 20 years since the Owls were in the Premier League. This is arguably his biggest task. There isn't a fortune to spend, he's got some big earners who have been at the club a while, and he needs to decide whether it's time for them to shift – or allow them one last tilt at the promised land.
Bruce, because he's been around the block (and looks carved from it) talks the talk and walks the walk when it comes to derby matches. He's been involved in Manchester, Tyne-Wear and Birmingham derbies and having played and managed our neighbours, knows what Monday night means (unlike the last two).
For a change though, it's not simply bragging rights at stake. Win and we'll all start dreaming of the play-offs. Lose and Untidy will be back in the automatic promotion spots and we'll be left thinking of next season.
United are arguably in better shape now than last November. They've had some eye-catching results and we're both at the s..t-or-bust part of the season.
As a Wednesday fan, would I really be upset if they went up? Would I take a victory for us on Monday in exchange for them getting promoted?
What would be horrible, would be to get stuffed and then see them go up as well. Of course, we could see the nightmare double and have both that United and the Damned lot from up the M1 going up together. That really would put the tin hat on it.

How can employers improve gender diversity in the workplace? It starts with tracking representation and setting goals for diversity when hiring and promoting employees.
"Progress for women isn't just slow― it's stalled," reads the alarming introduction to LeanIn's latest report, Women in the Workplace 2018. In the three years they've been studying the issue, corporate America has made almost no progress in how women fare.
Hiring is one of biggest drivers of gender representation in the workplace and automated recruitment systems aren't helping: Even machine learning algorithms are gender biased because what they search for in potential hires is based on historic data, which in most cases favors male candidates.
Women are less likely to be hired at the manager level and they're far less likely to be promoted into management positions. LeanIn's research shows for every 100 men promoted to manager, there are less than 80 women promoted. As a result, more than 60 percent of men hold managerial positions compared to less than 40 percent of women.
The study offers "performance bias" as a potential explanation to early gaps in hiring and promoting women. Research on "performance bias" found men are often hired and promoted based on their potential, while women are often hired and promoted based on their track record. "One thing I've become used to is having to prove myself constantly, over and over. It's tiring, and unfortunately, it hasn't changed a whole lot as I've become more senior," says a Latina woman who is a senior executive with 4 years at the company.
Although it's commonly thought that women are underrepresented in management because they leave to focus on family, LeanIn found that women and men leave their jobs in similar numbers. Most men and women plan to stay in the workforce when they leave their company. Less than 5 percent of women plan to leave the workforce to focus on family.
If companies start hiring and promoting women and men to manager at equal rates, the report estimates that the U.S. will get close to parity in management over the next 10 years. If employers continue hiring and promoting women at current rates, the number of women in management will increase by just one percentage point over the same ten years.
The underrepresentation of women in uppermanagement is so common it's normalized. A director recalled a time when she pressed a button to the executive office and someone in the elevator pointed out what floor the interns were on, assuming she was mistaken. A lawyer remembered walking into negotiations she was leading and an older man from the company asked her to take meeting notes.
Most companies say they're highly committed to gender and racial diversity, but that runs counter to LeanIn's research on the issue. Less than half of companies track representation and set targets to reach gender and racial diversity. Achieving gender and racial diversity requires more than lip service, it requires planning and careful consideration at each level.
Leaders at all levels need to, well, take the lead. In order to do that they need to understand the problem, receive training to help solve it and be held accountable for making consistent progress towards gender and racial diversity. It's also up to leadership to foster an inclusive and respectful culture by developing guidelines supported by a clear reporting process and swift consequences for violations.
"Closing the corporate gender gap isn't a side issue. It's an economic necessity. Programs and policies designed to reduce bias and ensure fairness don't just benefit women. They benefit everyone," the report's conclusion reads.

Q: SSMS - Can not bulk load because the file could not be opened We have a user who get this error message every time bulk load using network location it throws error below.
"Cannot bulk load because the file could not be opened. Operating system error code 3(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105)."

*

*If users logs on the remote server and runs same query it works fine

*FQDN is specified for the location of the file ( \servername\sharename\filename.txt)

*When file is copied on the server ( C:\ drive) , query runs fine via SSMS

*We are using SQL server 2008 R2

I have checked all NTFS permissions for the shared folder.
I have gone through numerous posts suggesting solution but no luck.

A: winerror.h lists Operating System Error Code 3 as ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND.  This likely indicates that \\servername\sharename\filename.txt either doesn't exist or the SQL Server Service Account does not have access to the file via the UNC.
Use SQL Server Configuration Manager to determine the name of the SQL Server Service Account:

Check the Fileshare Security for the UNC to ensure that account has access to the share.  Check the Filesystem Security for the folder underlying the UNC to ensure the account has access to the file.
T-SQL BULK INSERT requires an understanding of the security architecture.  Taken from that page:

If a user uses a SQL Server login, the security profile of the SQL Server process account is used. A login using SQL Server authentication cannot be authenticated outside of the Database Engine. Therefore, when a BULK INSERT command is initiated by a login using SQL Server authentication, the connection to the data is made using the security context of the SQL Server process account (the account used by the SQL Server Database Engine service). To successfully read the source data you must grant the account used by the SQL Server Database Engine, access to the source data.In contrast, if a SQL Server user logs on by using Windows Authentication, the user can read only those files that can be accessed by the user account, regardless of the security profile of the SQL Server process.
When executing the BULK INSERT statement by using sqlcmd or osql, from one computer, inserting data into SQL Server on a second computer, and specifying a data_file on third computer by using a UNC path, you may receive a 4861 error.
To resolve this error, use SQL Server Authentication and specify a SQL Server login that uses the security profile of the SQL Server process account, or configure Windows to enable security account delegation. For information about how to enable a user account to be trusted for delegation, see Windows Help.

A: Given that:

*

*The error occurs when using a file on the network

*The error does not occur when using a local file (local to the server running SQL Server)

*The error does not occur when using a file on the network IF the user logs onto the remote server
I would say:

*

*Your user is connecting with a Windows Login
If the user was connecting with a SQL Server Login, then the behavior would be the same whether they logged into SQL Server from a remote server or from directly on the server via Remote Desktop. SQL Server Logins do not exist outside of SQL Server (i.e. in Windows / Active Directory) and so have no security context that could be impersonated. In that case, the BULK INSERT / OPENROWSET(BULK... process will use the existing security context of the service account that is running the SQL Server process.
When connecting with a Windows Login, there is a security context that can be impersonated and so the bulk operation attempts to do just that. The problem here is that forwarded security tokens cannot, by default, be re-forwarded. This is why the user gets the error when connecting from their desktop (they logged into their desktop to get the security token, and then logged into SQL Server remotely, using a forwarded security token). And it is why the user, when they log in directly to the remote server via Remote Desktop, they get a full security token from that server and connect directly to SQL Server with it, and hence can use it to forward to a networked service, such as a shared folder.

*You either need to:

*

*open up the permissions on the share for Everyone or Domain User or whatever

*Go to Active Directory and configure that Windows Login (for that user) for Delegation

*(maybe) set up a SQL Server User that can be impersonated via the EXECUTE AS clause of a CREATE PROCEDURE statement and create a Stored Procedure to do the bulk operation. I have not tried this so am not entirely sure if it would do the trick, but the idea is to switch the security context to that of a SQL Server account such that the bulk operation won't both with impersonation and will just use the current security context of the SQL Server service account. Worth a shot, perhaps.

The happy (and lucky) cats sleep in the Sun. I cannot help posting it here. Sweet little thing!
I read a slogan at Ichiban Ra-Mei, "Your happiness of eating our Ra-Mei makes us happy". I guess they are happy not only because customers enjoy their food, they enjoy getting paid for it better.
The slogan works better for me. The happiness of the two cats for eating what I feed them makes me happy – no matter they pay or not.
Run issued the one year memorial stamps for his group blog site run2me.com.
Now the two cats in my garden finally settled down. They have their own place to sleep at day time and play at night. Cats are cats. They always wandering around in the garden at night when I fall asleep and sleep most of the time in early morning. Besides the fresh meats, I went to the nearby Hymall and bought 1.5kg of Whiskas cat food for them. It cost me 23 RMB. I hesitated a little bit when I put it into my shopping cart. Later, I convinced myself that the poor little things deserved something really nice after experiencing the miserable lives.
According to the introduction of the cat food, cat owners should mix the cat food at certain percentage for the cats to get used to the new delicous food and the increase the percentage everyday until 100% of the meal is cat food. Otherwise, the cats may not be interested in the new food at very begining. Forget about these instructions. It is for the well treated lucky cats. They never know what hungry is. For my two little angles fallen in my garden, the cat food is good enough. They rushed to the dish and completed the first dish of Whiskas in 10 minutes. I don't know whether it is as delicious as the instruction and ads show. At least, it does not smell good for me. The cats SEEMED to like it because they eat it as fast as fresh meat.
Some funny story happens the other day. A third cat, a big white male cat entered the garden and drove the two cats away. He attempted to stay in the garden. I was very unhappy about it. Luckily, the next day, Huahua and Liangliang returned and the white cat find a box on the other side of my apartment and settled down. I am fine with this cat as long as he does not bother my two little guests. Sometimes I will also feed him something. Hopefully there is no war between them in the future.
I saw the two cats in my garden again. Poor little pets! The winter came and they don't have a place to stay. They were very cold in the morning wind. I guess they are abandoned since I frequently saw them in my garden. Wendy took picture (I, II) of them last month, when it was pretty warm.
Above: The baby cat hide under its month's body to keep warm.
Above: I gave them some cookie and they enjoyed it very much.
Later, I setup a temp home for them with a big box. After I arrived home, I found the two little cats have settled down in the paper box. It is by any means better than nothing. The boxes protected them from cold winter wind.

Two Suggested Additions to the Proposed Balanced Budget Amendment
Sam Wice
The House of Representatives plans to vote this Thursday on a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget. To ensure that a future Congress does not use budgetary gimmicks to avoid balancing the budget, I suggest including two additional provisions: (i) prevent the shifting of costs into future fiscal years and (ii) enshrine the independence of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). These suggestions would better ensure that a future Congress cannot defeat the spirit of the balanced budget amendment.
History of Balanced Budget Amendments
Since 1995, Congress has twice considered a balanced budget amendment. Republicans proposed a balanced budget amendment in the Contract with America. The proposed amendment would have (i) required the President's annual proposed budget to not have a deficit and (ii) prevented a deficit unless each House of Congress voted by a 3/5ths majority to approve deficit spending and/or to increase the debt limit. However, the proposed amendment would have allowed a deficit if Congress, by a simple majority, determined that "the United States is engaged in military conflict which causes an imminent and serious military threat to national security." The proposed amendment enjoyed wide-spread support, even among Democrats, and comfortably passed the House of Representatives. Nevertheless, it failed in the Senate by a single vote.
As a part of a balanced budget effort in 2011, Congress considered a similar balanced budget amendment. This time, the proposed amendment fell short of the 2/3rds requirement in the House of Representatives and failed to get a majority of votes in the Senate.
Current Balanced Budget Amendment
The current balanced budget amendment that the House of Representatives is considering largely mirrors the previous proposals, but additionally specifies that any deficit spending during a military conflict must be limited to the "specific excess or increase for that fiscal year made necessary by the identified military conflict." This change would prevent a simple majority of Congress from using the military-conflict exception to approve all deficit spending.
I will note that although Democrats have called this vote a messaging ploy so that Republicans can show their fiscal conservatism after passing a deficit increasing tax cut and omnibus bill, the version that Republicans are bringing to the floor is a moderate version designed to have at least some chance of passing. Another proposed balanced budget amendment would have imposed "starve the beast" requirements of needing a super majority in each House to approve (i) a tax increase and/or (ii) spending greater than 20% of GDP. Many Republicans, including Paul Ryan, opposed the 2011 balanced budget amendment because it did not include these requirements.
If Republicans want to use the vote for messaging, they could consider the more conservative proposal. Instead, Republicans are offering a version that at least has some chance of gaining the Democratic votes necessary for a 2/3rds majority.
My Suggested Additions
I have two suggested additions to the proposed constitutional amendment that would prevent a future Congress from avoiding the spirit of the balanced budget amendment:
First, I would suggest including a requirement that "No bill estimated to cause an excess of outlays over receipts in future fiscal years shall become law unless three-fifths of the whole number of each House shall provide by law for a specific excess of outlays over receipts by a rollcall vote."
Although the balanced budget amendment would prevent current deficits, it would not address future fiscal years. My additional language would prevent Congress from avoiding potentially difficult political decisions by shifting costs to future years. For instance, state governments often avoid balanced budget requirements by under funding state pensions. Although there is no immediate consequence, under funding pensions causes required contributions to increase in future years, leading to a worse fiscal position. As a result of this continued fiscal gimmick, many states are now struggling with large, unfunded pension requirements.
Second, I would suggest including a requirement that "Estimates of outlays and receipts shall be vested in a Congressional Budget Office. The director of the Congressional Budget Office shall be appointed by three-fifths of the whole number of each House for a term of office that shall be 4 years and shall expire on January 3 of the year preceding each Presidential election. Any individual appointed as director to fill a vacancy prior to the expiration of a term shall serve only for the unexpired portion of that term."
My additional language would ensure the independence of official cost estimates, which would prevent Congress from avoiding the requirements of the balanced budget amendment by using a partisan estimate. For instance, Republicans considered replacing the nonpartisan estimate of tax reform with a partisan estimate from the Department of Treasury.
Specifically, my additional language would change current law to give CBO the official power to estimate costs. Although CBO unofficially has that power now, the official estimate is determined by the Budget Committees (i.e., the majority party in the House and Senate) and they can ignore CBO. Likewise, the proposed requirement would enshrine in the Constitution the four-year term for the CBO director. My additional language would also modify the removal process from a simple majority vote of either House of Congress to impeachment, which would reflect the importance of the director's independence. Furthermore, my additional language would modify the appointment process from a joint decision of the Speaker of the House and President Pro Tempore of the Senate to a 3/5ths majority of each House. This modification would ensure that both political parties agree on the director and that the majority party does not appoint someone who is inclined to act in a partisan manner.
The goal of a balanced budget amendment is to prevent Congress from avoiding the politically difficult decisions required for fiscal discipline. Thus, I would suggest two additions to the currently proposed balanced budget amendment to (i) prevent the shifting of costs to future fiscal years and (ii) enshrine the independence of CBO.

My eldest is 30, and for a myriad of reasons I started homeschooling her after she spent a year in kindergarten. Back then, although the classroom wasn't as play-oriented as I would have liked, at least there was no homework.
"But this is early education," says Bregel, "and we simply have to keep up." Why, I wonder? Because my five-year-old needs to compete or they'll never "make it" in the world? I thank my lucky stars I didn't buy into that notion.
I guess I was just cut out for homeschooling. I recognize that not everyone is, and that is just fine. In fact, it's as it should be. People should do–and should be able to do–what works for them.
Still, while reading Bregel's list of why she's not cut out for it, I had the same experience I've had reading similar articles in the past. Her reasons for not homeschooling are, for me, reasons to homeschool. So just for fun, I rewrote her list from my point of view, once upon a time when my kids were little.
My kids (along with pretty much all kids) are awesome listeners.In fact, they're super observant and astute, even when they can't articulate just what they're feeling. If I say "get dressed" and they start painting the cat, it usually means they'd rather be painting the cat than going wherever it is we're about to go. Sometimes they have to get dressed and go anyway, but at least we can talk about it.
I get my "me" time. Fortunately, my homeschooled kids are self-sufficient and independent. They really like to play, and they do it quite happily, which means I get to do my thing, too. We also have plenty of friends who homeschool, so if I absolutely need to be alone I can hit up another family for support.
I can eat candy whenever I want. My kids might ask for a piece, and I'm happy to share, but they wouldn't dream of telling me to stop.
I get plenty of exercise. My slow homeschooling lifestyle includes a boatload of walking–in museums, parks, the woods, the apple orchard, and plenty of other places. We often bike to the library or the park, too. If I want to pull out one of my exercise videos, I simply do it while the kids are playing. Sometimes they even join me!
I don't have the patience of a saint. Dragging my kids out of bed every morning to make it to school on time, packing lunches, dealing with the fallout from stressful days at school, and making them do homework every night would send me over the edge.
Distraction isn't a problem. With everything in life being a learning opportunity, we can all follow up on whatever intrigues us.
I don't have to worry about teaching everything. In fact, all I have to do is supply a rich environment and they do most of the learning themselves. If they want or need help with something, like algebra or playing a musical instrument, and I can't or don't feel inclined to provide it, we can find a teacher.
So much help. Dishes, cooking, cleaning, and the like? Many hands make light work. 'Nuff said.
Laundry is not a big deal. Guess what? Laundry ain't rocket science. Kids can do their own from a very young age.
All the hours in all the days. Time is one of the biggest reasons I do it. Time for them, time for me, time for us, because the biggest cliche in the world is absolutely true. Their childhoods go by fast. Really fast.
I'm in your club, Milva!
Many of your reasons are my reasons. Time is a major factor!
I love this thoughtful and funny post!
Great post. I am also "cut out" for homeschooling, and it has always felt like the most natural thing in the world. I've been a school parent too, when my older kids chose school, and I never felt good at that role.
Yes, yes and yes. You have such a gentle approach…that other article had me scratching my head and wondering why she decided to parent…so sad but totally normal. I never ever want to be normal.
Yes… The most natural and wonderful experience we've had to date. Thank you!
I feel so sad, also, when parents speak so dismissively about their kids and spending time with their kids. Thank you for your always wise and supportive kid and family loving posts!

No need for National Service, let education ministry take the lead, says Patriot
Training on instilling patriotism should begin at the primary school level and continue all the way up to tertiary level, says group comprising retired armed forces officers. (Bernama pic)
PETALING JAYA: An NGO representing retired armed forces officers says the government's objective in wanting to revive the National Service (PLKN) programme might be good on paper but serious consideration must be given to better and cheaper alternatives, with the education ministry taking the lead.
National Patriots Association (Patriot) president Mohamed Arshad Raji said while studies might show that PLKN was successful in achieving a score of about 80% in instilling patriotism, the behaviour among some youths and adults in society proves otherwise.
He admitted that the objectives and design of the training programme are well crafted and relevant to our multi-racial and multi-religious society.
"However, we believe that the training should begin at the primary school level and continue all the way up to the tertiary level.
National Patriots Association president Arshad Raji.
"The Japanese and Korean educational models, which nurture patriotism and other good values from an early age, are examples that we can emulate," Raji said in a statement today.
He called for the education ministry to be given the responsibility to nurture children from a young age.
"The education ministry should have experts in motivational training capable of developing training modules that meet similar objectives as PLKN.
"They can focus on developing extracurricular activities that may produce similar results as PLKN, and at a much-reduced cost," he said.
Arshad pointed to activities such as scouting (Brownies, Boy Scouts and Girl Guides), outdoor motivational camps, military and police school cadets, Red Crescent, St John's Ambulance and school choirs as good examples to build up children from a young age.
The national service programme started in 2004 under then defence minister Najib Razak and was dissolved in 2018 by the former Pakatan Harapan government after it took over Putrajaya. A total of 885,956 youths had participated in the training.
Raji said some issues also need to be answered should the programme resume as it is.
"There was much criticism towards the training programme, including that the main objective to instill patriotism, foster understanding, harmony, unity, and a caring Malaysian society, had failed.
"There were also accusations that the PLKN was to enrich cronies, with nearly half of the total cost going towards the rental of training camps.
"PLKN cannot and should not proceed until these criticisms are addressed," he said citing the reported RM8.43 billion spent throughout the 14-year period, with almost half said to have gone towards the rental.

Building sustainably begins with planning. The urban regeneration of our old city centres requires finding a functional balance between residential and touristic areas, especially between them and the rest of the city. In order to build public facilities or housings in a sustainable way aiming at repopulating them, municipal ordinances are needed. They shouldn´t evoke idyllic images that create an attractive and touristic reality that never existed. Repopulation, tourism and heritable identity have to walk hand in hand thanks to the planning. My thesis focuses on an arrabal (historical suburb of 13th century) called Alcázar viejo in Cordoba, where traditional houses are still in use. Each ancient house (casa patio), which count with a popular courtyard, used to be the home of several families. Nowadays these structures are owned by single families. After being recently declared "Intangible Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO, the tangible value of them has been raised, resulting in such an increase in tourism that their residential use is becoming endangered. Cordoba´s current Historic City Centre Special Protection Plan (PEPCH) lays down an ordinance regarding the traditional casa patio for all this area. This rule is breaking arrabal´s popular identity and makes it difficult to repopulate it. This is a problem for eco-efficient and sustainable constructions. The Plan pretends to impose an historical image not adapted to society´s demands. So here I expect to propose improvements for a sustainable regeneration of the arrabal, especially regarding the planning, balancing it with tourism and heritage identity.

For over 30 years, The Center for the Study of Sport in Society has used the influence and appeal of sport to create positive social change.
Over the course of our history, we have connected the world of sport with social-justice-driven research, education, and advocacy through programming and global community engagement.
The Center has historically aimed to transform the culture of sports from competition to inclusion and to promote a paradigm shift that sports are more than just the scoreboard.
Due to its central place in society, the visibility and stature of athletes, and the extent to which its worldwide audience cuts across gender, race, and socioeconomic lines, sport can bridge cultural gaps, resolve conflict, and educate people in a way that few other activities can.
Sport in Society was founded in 1984 by visionary and social justice pioneer Richard Lapchick.
As one of its first projects to reform high school and college sports, in 1985 the Center for the Study of Sport in Society established the National Consortium for Academics and Sports to advocate for a balance between academics and athletics. Most namely it established the Degree Completion Program.
The first major program developed by the Center for the Study of Sport in Society was a diversity awareness program called Project Teamwork (PTW), which was established in 1990.
Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) was established in 1993 as a gender violence prevention and education program.
Our staff is comprised of former athletes who are dedicated to using sport as the vehicle to promote positive social change.
If you're interested in joining a community of professionals who love sport and social justice, check out these ways to join our team.
Our Internship Program allows students and individuals from any academic discipline the ability to gain hands-on experience working on Center projects. We welcome both undergraduate and graduate students, as well adults who have an interest in sport, social justice, education, and healthy development to apply for the internship program.
Depending on areas of expertise, Training Consultants will plan, deliver and debrief high quality trainings to a wide range of service populations including: high school students, school administrators, teachers and parents in our signature programs.

These 12 Places From Cincinnati's Past Will Have You Longing For The Good Old Days
Ah yes…the good old days in Cincinnati. Some would argue that any day spent in the Queen City is a good one, and we would tend to agree. But as more and more retail moves online and we can order everything from a Big Mac to a four-course meal and have it delivered to our door, there is definitely a longing for a simpler time. Many stores and restaurants have long since disappeared from Cincinnati's streets, but we'll always remember the time we spent in them. Take a look back at these 12 places from Cincinnati's past and see how many you remember from the "good old days" in our city.
1. Pete Rose Restaurant
Photo Courtesy of Kevin Lackman
Did you know Pete Rose once had a restaurant on the west side of Cincinnati? It sat across from Western Bowl and served every meal of the day. It's been closed for quite some time, but the legacy of both the eatery - and the hit king - remain.
2. David's Buffet
Buffets were a big deal back in the day, and David's Buffet on Bridgetown Road was one of the favorites.
3. Zayre
Zayre was a chain of department stores that began in the Northeast and made its way to the Cincinnati area. Once the fifth-largest department store chain in the country, they were completely gone by 1990.
4. Minnie Pearl's Chicken
In an attempt to compete with Kentucky Fried Chicken, Minnie Pearl's opened hundreds of fried chicken restaurants several decades ago. Named after the country comedian Minnie Pearl, all of these chicken joints vanished in the late 1960s.
5. Ben Franklin
Ben Franklin was a classic five and dime shop that was scattered across the country, including in Cincinnati. They had a little bit of everything and a great selection of candy. By the mid-1990s they, too, were gone.
6. SuperX
There were several SuperX drugstores throughout Cincinnati, but many of them are now a CVS. While the concept of a drugstore is still around, they tend to go through several name changes, and SuperX is one that definitely feels nostalgic.
7. Albers
Albers was a grocery store in Cincinnati that may actually be known as the very first "supermarket." Run by a former Kroger executive, Albers was innovative in many ways and set the standard for grocery shopping.
8. Children's Palace
Especially with the news that Toys R' Us is on its way out, former toy stores like Children's Palace definitely have us longing for the past. Days of shopping for toys in a large store may be over.
9. York Steak House
York Steak House was a steak and potatoes chain that you could find here in Cincinnati. Food was served cafeteria-style, but they all were gone by 1989.
10. Shakey's Pizza Parlor
Eating at Shakey's was a blast and the pizza was great. If this was one of your favorite pizza parlors from the past, good news! There are still a few of these classic pizzerias left throughout the country.
11. Builders Square
Before there was HGTV, there was Builders Square - a big-box DIY paradise. Today, Home Depot and Lowe's are popular in Cincinnati, but Builders Square paved the way for the current home improvement superstores.
12. Caddy's

Last, but certainly not least, Caddy's was a popular hangout downtown from the early '80s until it was demolished in 1998 to make room for Paul Brown Stadium. Thank goodness the fun memories and this eye-catching mural remain!
Days are what we make of them, so don't forget to get out and about in Cincinnati now and enjoy all our city has to offer – you never know if your favorite spots will someday be long gone. While we miss those that have been lost to time, it's fun to reminisce about the places from our past that will always hold special memories. How many of these spots do you remember? Any there any other favorites you miss? Let us know in the comments!
And to go even further back in Cincinnati's history, check out some of the oldest photos from our city in our previous article here.

Are Female Leaders Held to Different Standards?
I read an interesting article by Joan C. Williams in a recent issue of the Harvard Business Review titled "Hacking Tech's Diversity Problem," which talks about the challenges Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn and Facebook are having employing female talent. This summer, all four companies disclosed their "woefully low levels of female employment."
In 1985, 37% of computer science degrees were awarded to women, compared to only 18% in 2012.
41% of women leave tech companies after 10 years, as opposed to 17% of men.
That said, tech companies today are in an interesting place - they've identified the problem and are working to make improvements, through metric-based approaches rather than the standard "patchwork" we see so often.

← Air Force One Secret Service Agents Who Flew Back to D.C. With JFK's Body on 11/22/63
Excellent Dan Emmett article + →
OUTSTANDING: SECOND ONLY TO "WITHIN ARM'S LENGTH"!
I so wanted to dislike this book. As the leading civilian literary expert on the Secret Service, I had previously—-and rightfully—lambasted Lisa McCubbin's prior effort entitled "The Kennedy Detail" for its rewriting of history, blaming JFK for his own death and putting words in the late president's mouth that he never once uttered, as verified by the prior accounts of numerous top agents and White House aides, many of whom WERE there in Dallas (unlike former agent Gerald Blaine). As previously stated, it was my 22-page letter to former agent Clint Hill that angered him and his best friend to whom I had also spoken to, the aforementioned Blaine, that directly led to the writing of "The Kennedy Detail" and, by extension, the need to write a follow-up tome, "Mrs. Kennedy & Me" (whenever a book is even a mild best-seller, which their first effort was, it is almost a guarantee that, if there is any gas left in the tank, so to speak, a further literary work will be forthcoming). In fact, both agents Blaine and Hill debated the merits of my research on television and, if that weren't enough, I was mentioned on pages 359-360 of "The Kennedy Detail" (without naming me, of course). One could argue several other pages refer to my work, directly or indirectly, but I digress from the matter at hand.
Simply put, "Mrs. Kennedy & Me" is stupendous: a literary home run, second only to another brand new work, the outstanding 2012 book "Within Arm's Length" by former agent Dan Emmett, as attaining the mantle of being the greatest book on the Secret Service by a former agent ever to date (1865-2012 and counting). I almost cannot believe I am writing this but, alas, honesty prevails: Mr. Hill and Ms. McCubbin have alot to be proud of for this book—it is consistently everything "The Kennedy Detail" is not: truthful, honest, no axe to grind, not dry or boring, well written, and coming from the perspective of a brave and dedicated public servant who WAS truly there (to be fair, even "The Kennedy Detail", and certainly the documentary it was based on, had its moments, although my judgment is rightfully clouded by what I and others feel are the purposeful untruths and propaganda contained throughout, as well as the exasperating third-person narrative interwoven throughout the book, making it hard to pin down exactly WHO was responsible for specific passages. President Kennedy did NOT order the agents off his limousine in Tampa, in Dallas, or anywhere else, for that matter- SAIC Behn, ASAIC Boring, ATSAIC Godfrey, many of their colleagues, and several prominent White House aides said so).
Do I still have misgivings about some of the agents on the Kennedy Detail? Sure; that will never change. Am I also an ardent admirer of the Secret Service? You bet: the agency has a whole lot to be proud of. Clint Hill at least TRIED to do something that fateful day inDallasand carried much guilt and depression over the sad events of that time and place. That is a whole lot more than several of his colleagues can lay claim to.
That aside, "Mrs. Kennedy & Me" is highly recommended to everyone for its honesty and rich body of true, first-hand accounts of guarding First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Too bad this book wasn't even longer and "The Kennedy Detail" did not exist, but one cannot ask for everything. Please purchase this fine book as soon as possible!
