NOTE: This story includes terms that may be considered offensive.
(RNS) — An African-American bishop of the Church of God in Christ and frequent critic of President Trump said his personal Twitter account has been permanently suspended, apparently for using a racially sensitive term.
Bishop Talbert Swan, a Massachusetts pastor and a Nova Scotia jurisdictional leader for the predominantly black Pentecostal denomination, said he received an email from Twitter on Friday (Aug. 24) informing him of the suspension.
"Your account has been suspended and will not be restored because it was found to be violating Twitter's Terms of Service, specifically the Twitter Rules against hateful conduct," the company told him.
Swan, who said he had more than 70,000 followers, suspects the specific cause of the suspension is his use of the word "coon," a term the website etymonline.com says is sometimes used as an insult about a black person. The word in this sense stems from the word "barracoon" and is based on the Portuguese word "barraca" that refers to an enclosure for slaves who were transported in West Africa, Cuba and Brazil.
But Swan says the meaning of the word depends on the context.
"I think Twitter needs to be educated culturally to understand that when black people use that term they mean it in the context of someone who's African-American that they consider to be a traitor or a sellout or someone who is speaking or doing things that is not in the best interest of the African-American community," he said. "And, in my instance, those who parrot alt-right, racist ideology."
On June 2, Swan tweeted in response to a suggestion that he follow someone with whom he disagreed, "No thanks I'm on a no coon diet."
Last week, more than half a dozen Twitter users noted that they had reported Swan and posted screenshots of responses they had received confirming that @TalbertSwan had violated Twitter's rules of discourse.
One, @Gerald_Anzano, specifically connected Twitter's notice of suspension with Swan's "coon" tweet, adding, "Using God as a shield to promulgate spewing hatred? Expect to be called out."
Swan, who is president of the NAACP's Springfield, Mass., chapter, said he first got wind of his suspension from these posts. He calls those users "my detractors"; several describe themselves on Twitter as supporting Trump.
Swan provided Religion News Service with recent tweets from his account that were critical of Trump and the president's Christian supporters.
"Real Christians don't make excuses, support, dismiss, or defend pathological lying, sexual deviancy, malignant narcissism, white supremacy & bigotry," he wrote in an Aug. 19 tweet that received more than 26,000 likes. "I don't give a hell how many conservative judges you get, you cannot be a Christian & defend @realDonaldTrump. Plain and simple."
Swan recently used his account to post an open letter criticizing pastors who met with Trump. Swan said he has also complained that liberal Democrats take blacks' votes for granted. A fan of the Boston Celtics and Pittsburgh Steelers, he also posted his musings about sports.
Twitter did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the matter.
In its email message to Swan, the company wrote, "It is against our rules to promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease.
"Additionally, if we determine that the primary purpose of an account is to incite harm towards others on the basis of these categories, that account may be suspended without prior warning."
Others questioned Swan's suspension, including @ReignOfApril, who tweeted: "He's a COGIC bishop, for goodness sakes."
Swan himself said he doesn't understand why the personal Twitter account of conservative radio host Alex Jones was recently suspended for a week for violating rules about inciting violence, while his account appears to have been suspended permanently.
"When you get the president calling a black woman a dog or Roseanne (Barr) calling a black woman a gorilla and they still have their accounts on the forum," the bishop said, "to say that me making a reference to a coon is the catalyst for a permanent suspension, then you have to question how they enforce their terms of service."

Unless you live in French-speaking Louisiana where the Acadian refugees were once pejoratively referred to as "Coon asses" from the French word "connasse," which is itself pejorative, there is only one other meaning for "coon" that does not refer to a raccoon and it's for black people. I remember long ago being greeted by a racist jerk who said to me, "Happy Martin Luther Coon Day." I replied in return, that would be Dr. Martin Luther Coon to you. That was the last time we ever spoke.
FriendlyGoat says:
It is in our interest for the media "platforms" to start cleaning up the messaging messes. This dragnet will catch some people on both the left and the right when questionable words, phrases and themes are used. People must learn that there are new "limits" being imposed by the owners of platforms because we errantly let the old "limits" imposed by decency and self-restraint just die of disinterest and inattention. There is nothing good coming from everyone "pushing the envelope" on Twitter, or Facebook, or any other similar service. In fact, so much bad has already come from this that most people are now numb and do not even recognize how depressing and destructive it all really is.

My 1st judgment on the English Language: If non-Blacks can't say the dirty C-word and N-word, then Blacks, like Talbert Swan, can't either.
Because, otherwise, the English language itself is Natural Born Racist, as the following proves:
"It can be assumed that all post-World War I uses by whites [of 'c**n'] are as a conscious term of racial abuse. Nonetheless, like n*gg*r, which can be found in a non-pejorative sense between black speakers long before the current use of the term as popularised through rap, c**n was also used neutrally up to the 1950s, e.g by Zora Neale Hurston [African-American author who died in 1960] in her book Mules and Men (1935)."
Ergo: my 2nd judgment on the English Language spoken by both Blacks and non-Blacks: It is racist! So suspend Talbert Swan's Twitter account already, I don't care.

Mr Swan,
Welcome to the world of political correctness.
I agree with you to some extent – the internet has allowed for uncivil debate and outright hostility due to the fact that writers can hide behind their computer.
That being said, I do not want anyone or any AI / program controlling what I can and cannot say.
I know that there are laws about yelling fire in public; but I am against any attempt to regulate speech; be it hateful, stupid or otherwise.
I think it becomes a very slippery slope; especially depending on who has the power to set the rules.

Joseph Jaglowicz says:
I agree with you. As regards your mentioning "hateful", however, I think context is important. Recently, I described my experience many years ago as a federal poll observer down South. I spelled out the word "n*gg*r" including the 'i' and the 'e' describing the behavior of a well known racial bigot (an excommunicated Catholic, if I recall) in Louisiana. My comment was not published by Disqus. I still think my use of this *complete* word was appropriate given the context. I think calling a black person a "n*gg*r", on the other hand, is very much wrong. It's all about context.
While platforms set the rules, I think — like you — that political correctness is dangerous. I graduated from a fairly liberal Catholic coed college in 1970, and I don't remember PC from back then, the Vietnam War notwithstanding. When I witness PC on campuses today, I can only conclude these kids have a lot of "growing up" to do. (And life will make sure they grow up whether they want to or not!)

This story is a mess — no doubt about it — and now I have to be careful what I say. But this guy flat-out messed up.
Full disclosure: I'm COGIC too (and you already know I support Trump). So this guy is worth responding to on SEVERAL unpleasant levels (but I remain fully respectful of his pastoral office, no problem on that).
First, why is a COGIC bishop publicly using the "C" word at a time when we Blacks are having a ton of trouble eradicating the "N" word from public discourse? "C" is as raw, ugly, and dirty as "N." It's KKK talk. Not COGIC talk.
Second — and sorry for the candor, folks — what in the Crazy Hades is a black COGIC bishop doing using the "C" word against his fellow black Christians, black clergy like himself, merely because of political differences?
Agni Ashwin says:
If non-Blacks can't say the dirty C-word and N-word
In the U.S., you are pretty much free to say whatever word you want. Just don't be surprise if said action leads to a particular result.
Talking about "said action lead[ing] to a particular result"; and to confound further "The Phenomenon of Reversed Racism Among Blacks and Whites Alike" – you gotta read between the lines >>>>>

You bring up several valid points sir.. However, although I have never attended a COGIC congregation I have noted some things that leave me concerned about what I heard some members teaching. One was that the COGIC was the only true church. Also another is my view that with abortion being the greatest threat to America via God's righteous judgement. How do so many COGIC members justify voting dem. If they are doing so then are they also demanding change within the dem party to stop the slaughter. I had to leave the dem party over this and other issues and did not vote in the last election. Also I could be wrong but is the Holy Spirit being offended by all these pastors( Swan) speaking out against a duly elected leader with such intensity while ignoring so many issues the dem party has via homo rights and bathroom issues? Finally the 10% tithe is as clear as day in the Bible but from what I hear COGIC does not teach this.
Thanks Ben. Sorry for delay in responding. (Tossing in one answer at a time while waiting.)
So our ongoing conversation continues. Let me ask another sincere inquiry of you.You've never really said what you think about "ex-gays" and "ex-trans" (and yes, ex-trans people really do exist.) Take a chance, then, and tell me:
(1) Do you believe that genuine "ex-LGBTQ" people, really do exist? Could it happen to you?
(2) Since children younger than 10 are often exposed to the concept of "gay" or "trans" (and sometimes buy into it!), should children younger than 10 also be exposed to the concept of "ex-gay" and "ex-trans", and THEIR message as well?
No and no, because those "ex-whatever" people are simply repressing their innate desires, by bottling them up deep inside, which leads them to lash out at random times and possibly abuse children.
Okay, let's do a little ore Abortion and us COGIC folks. Yeah, that's kind of delicate.
We're supposed to be conservative biblically, but everybody knows that in 2008 and 2012, WE (and the major Black Baptists, and the major Black AME Methodists), mostly voted for Barack Obama, which meant directly voting for Total-Abortion-On-Demand. In 2012, it also meant voting directly for Gay-Marriage.
(It also meant voting for Planned Parenthood which makes its giant $$$$$ by killing black & brown babies. Even now, the majority of PP abortion facilities are located where? In or near minority neighborhoods. No joke.)
Now there are some really serious life situations involved in this abortion thing, trust me. No way is it as simple as just voting "For-Or-Against" a president or congressman. Sometimes women seriously feel "trapped", and the black church really ain't there for them. That MUST change. But also, we gotta stop compromising, yes.
Church blacks are the f*cking worst.

It has emerged that 88 000 Schengen visas and an unknown number of visas for healthcare reasons have been sold illegally to Libyan citizens by Maltese Government officials (the majority of visas appear to have been sold at the Maltese Consulate in Tripoli); these visas can be used to enter and move freely around, Europe, thereby jeopardising EU security: this sale of illegal visa generates a turnover of millions of euros.
This system could also be exploited by members of the Islamic State still present in Libya.
How does the Commission intend to respond to these illegal visa sales, which undermine European security?
Does the Commission intend to launch an investigation into what is happening, both in Malta and in Libya?

2 Sec. 11. Filing claims.
3 (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this
4 Section and subsection (3) of Section 24, the claimant shall in
5 all cases set forth fully in his petition the claim, the action

4 Court of Claims. The clerk of the Court of Claims shall
5 immediately docket the case for consideration by the Court of

8 by the clerk of the court of competent jurisdiction or by the
9 Governor of the information described in this subsection (b) to
10 the clerk of the Court of Claims is conclusive evidence of the
11 validity of the claim.

European Commission Recommendation on making State financial support to entities in the Union conditional on the absence of links to non-cooperative jurisdictions
July 17, 2020 Hristescu & Partners
On 16 July 2020, entered into force the Commission Recommendation (EU) 2020/1039 of 14 July 2020 on making State financial support to undertakings in the Union conditional on the absence of links to non-cooperative jurisdictions.
In order to ensure that the financial support can flow to eligible entities, the Commission recommends Member States to establish reasonable requirements to demonstrate the absence of links to a jurisdiction that features on the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions.
The Commission suggests hence that if the Member States adopt measures that provide financial support, they must make sure that those entities that receive the financial support in their jurisdiction should not:
be resident for tax purposes in, or incorporated under the laws of jurisdictions that feature on the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions;
be controlled, directly or indirectly, by shareholders in jurisdictions that feature on the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions, up to the beneficial owner;
control, directly or indirectly, subsidiaries or own permanent establishments in jurisdictions that feature on the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions; and
share ownership with entities in jurisdictions that feature on the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions.
Moreover, in order to verify that the upper requirements are followed, the Members States should ensure that not only the immediate shareholders but also the ultimate owner and all other entities under the same ownership are not tax resident in, or incorporated under the laws of non-cooperative jurisdictions.
However, the Commission recommends that, if one of the following conditions is met, the Member States may disregard the existence of links of the EU registered entity to the listed non-cooperative jurisdictions:
when the level of the tax liability in the Member State granting the financial support over a given period of time (e.g. the last three years) is considered adequate when compared to the overall turnover of the entity receiving the support over the same period (though, the Commission does not exemplify or define what "adequate" term means in this situation);
if the entity that is entitled to receive financial support makes legally binding commitments to remove its ties to EU listed non-cooperative jurisdictions within a short timeframe, subject to appropriate follow-up and sanctions in case of non-compliance.
In the view of the Commission, the Member States should agree to reasonable requirements demonstrating the absence of links to a jurisdiction that features on the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions.
As the Member States are requested to inform the Commission about the measures taken further to the present Recommendation, we look forward to the actions to be implemented by the Romanian authorities in this regard.

Small limited edition print run of 25. Taken from the N.M.E. album review for The Flaming Lips album Zaireeka, from October 1997. The illustration is perfectly reproduced and printed on to thick archival quality paper. 1st edition still available as a framed print.
This is the first illustration in Run's book End Of A Century , and therefore first illustration he did for the N.M.E at the start of the 90's! In Black and white, it is a surreal dada-esque collage of xeroxed vintage imagery, a man with a cuckoo head, holding a guitar and floating in an ancient greek landscape.
Cloudcuckooland was the debut album by the British musical project The Lightning Seeds. "Pure" was the debut UK hit for The Lightning Seeds and the band's only Top 40 hit in the USA. The book End of A Century publishes the original brief that Run received from the N.M.E's, with quite an enlightening description of the band!

Successful Colon Cancer Treatment in India: A Case Study (Mrs. Theresa Ulumma Nosiri from Nigeria)
Mrs Theresa, 54, is a resident of Nigeria. Her daughter based out of Canada, Ms Chommy decided to look for her mother's treatment abroad after the colorectal resection in Nigeria.
Amit Bansal is a serial entrepreneur, Co-Founder, and CEO of MediGence. He has more than 17 years of strong technology experience. Having worked for some of the recognized companies in India, Australia and traveled worldwide to help businesses to grow multi-folded under his leadership and strategic guidance.
Colorectal cancer is a form of carcinoma that arises from the lining of the rectum or colon, which is the last part of the large intestine. In the US, it is the second leading cause of deaths due to cancer and the third most common form of cancer among men and women in the US.
More than a million people are diagnosed with colorectal cancer across the world. Such was the case of Mrs Theresa Ulumma Nosiri of Nigeria, who had her colorectal resection done in the home country. After her surgical treatment, Mrs Theresa's daughter Ms Chommy Constance started to look out for options abroad to complete her mother's medical treatment.
Chommy got in touch directly with the Patient Care team at MediGence and explained about her mother's medical condition. She shared the medical reports of her mother and a detailed description of her current medical condition.
The reports submitted by Chommy confirmed invasive adenocarcinoma. One of the nodes removed during the surgery also suggested that it could well be a case of distant metastases.
However, due to the absence of advanced diagnostic facilities, Mrs Theresa did not undergo a PET scan to confirm the staging of cancer. Chommy explained to the team at MediGence how she is looking forward to sending her mother to a hospital where all the hospitals are available and where proper evaluation can be carried out before carrying out further treatment.
After a detailed discussion, the MediGence Patient Care team consulted some of the best hospitals for cancer treatment in Delhi and within a day, proposed a few options to Chommy to consider.
Treatment Decision
The treatment plan submitted by the team at MediGence proposed three different options to consider. Chommy decided to choose Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi for her mother's further evaluation and treatment.
Since Mrs Theresa just had a surgery done and did not have a PET scan to confirm the staging of cancer, the hospital had suggested a series of investigations before chemotherapy can actually be done.
Happy with the opinion shared in the treatment plan, Chommy decided to send her mother to Indraprastha Apollo Hospital for further medical management.
Mrs Theresa travelled to India with her son on 28 October 2018. She was picked up by the Patient Care team at MediGence and dropped to her accommodation. She returned to Nigeria on 21 December 2018.
Mrs Theresa's appointment took place with Dr Sapna Nangia on October 29. Her medical history was thoroughly evaluated before advising her to undergo a PET scan and a couple of other routine blood investigations before taking the treatment plan further.
Fortunately, the PET scan confirmed that the disease was localized and had not spread to the nearby tissues. From there, she was referred to Dr Dipanjan so planning of the chemotherapy sessions.
Based on the reports and her preferences, it was decided that she would get six cycles of chemotherapy (CAPOX regime) at an interval of 21 days. Her first chemotherapy cycle was initiated under Dr Dipanjan on November 09. The second cycle took place on November 30. Since she had a flight to catch on December 21, the third chemotherapy was done a day earlier than decided, that is, on December 20.
The drugs for the remaining three cycles were delivered to Mrs Theresa in her appointment so that she can get it done back in Nigeria.
During her chemotherapy, Mrs Theresa was a bit concerned about the darkening of the facial skin as a side effect. She requested for a consultation with the dermatologist, which was arranged by the Patient Care team at MediGence. All her concerns were resolved and soon, the texture and colour of the skin returned back to normal.
Patient's Medical Condition (Post Treatment)
Mrs Theresa has recently completed her fifth cycle of chemotherapy back in Nigeria. The Patient Care team at MediGence is in constant touch with Chommy and Mrs Theresa. Chommy shared her mother's complete blood count (CBC) reports regularly before the chemotherapy cycle to seek approval or a go-ahead on whether she can undergo is safely or should wait.
Mrs Theresa would complete the last cycle of her chemotherapy in February last week, following which she will undergo investigations after a month to check for the need for further management.
Team MediGence wishes Mrs Theresa and her family a healthy and a joyous life ahead.

If you have studied the Bible much, you have probably learned that the Bible is the best commentary on itself. It is amazing how something is said in one book of the Bible and is fully illuminated in another portion. It's amazing how Bible teaching is exemplified by real life experiences of those doing the writing. The writers endeavor to give those receiving the written message a living example of what is written.
You may have a difficult time understanding the teaching of the Old Testament until you see it exemplified in the life of Christ. Jesus came to demonstrate the very spirit of God's law. God gives us his written word, then he sends someone to exemplify its teaching in a real life situation. The sacrifices the writers of the Bible ask us to make are exemplified in the lives of those doing the writing.
In Paul's second letter to the Corinthians we see Christ love motivating every word written. The promise of Christ's love motivates his holy attitude toward the Corinthians. There is no better commentary written on the love of which Paul speaks in 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 than what is exemplified by Paul as he writes the second letter to Corinth.
The greatest encouragement to living pure lives is for us to study how the great people of the Bible were motivated to holiness through the promises of God. The promises of God motivated them to holiness. Their faith in the promises of God motivated a practical a practical application of God's word to their lives. Paul quotes from the book of 2 Samuel from the promise God made to David about the kingdom of God.
God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."
It was God's promises that motivated David to be a man after God's own heart.
Those of us in the kingdom of God today, must understand the relevance of this promise to our lives. The kingdom God promised to David is a reality for us today. The church is the kingdom promised to David in the long ago. As Christians we are living within the kingdom promised to David.
God's promises to David motivated many of the Psalms written by David. In the Psalms you can see David constantly reflecting upon the promise made to him, as he sought to understand the practical implications of the promises.
he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
As Paul quotes the promise of God to David, he reminds the Corinthians and us that those promises are very much a reality for our lives. Paul writes, "Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God."
A pure heart motivated Paul's positive approach to addressing the problems in Corinth. He does not seek to condemn or accuse by attacking them on a personal level. He is careful to do three things as he writes the Corinthians.
First, Paul made room for the Corinthians in his own heart. This is a letter of affirmation not condemnation. When you make room for someone in your heart you live and die with them. When they do wrong, you feel the weight of it in your own heart. Have you ever felt the weight of your child's problems within your own heart? Their problem becomes your problem. He didn't rip into them to give them a piece of his mind. The message reveals his love for them regardless of how they behave.
Have you ever sent a letter that you later regretted that you sent? You may question what you wrote. Later, after you receive a positive response, you are glad you did send it. This is how Paul felt. He loved them too much to hurt them, but he loved them too much not to hurt them. When we love someone too much to hurt them we are usually more concerned about our own feelings than theirs.
Second, Paul examines his own conscience. Paul had not wronged the Corinthians. He had not taken advantage of them. He was searching his own heart and mind before seeking to correct them. He was making sure that there was no mote in his own eye that would blind him to the good in their hearts.
Third, Paul expresses his confidence in them. Paul writes, "I have great confidence in you; I take great pride in you. I am greatly encouraged; in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds."
It was God's promised love that made David a man after God's own heart.Today God's promises are kept alive through the promised love of Jesus Christ who now reigns on the throne of David. His love promises the best for each of us. God's love is designed to bring out the best in each of us. His promised love motivates our relationship with those around us.
Paul exemplifies his message of love to the Corinthians. Paul not only writes a good message, but he exemplifies it in his own life. The true test of love is what it does when we are experiencing difficulties. Paul was harassed at every turn with conflicts from without and fears within. When you place these passages in the context of the Corinthian letters, you can begin to understand how each principle is exemplified in Paul's life. Paul's loving perseverance, patience and kindness to the Corinthians was motivated by the love of Christ.
"Love is patient, love is kind." As you read the letters to the Corinthians there is no way you can deny Paul's persevering patience and kindness as he addresses the problems. Paul's love for them made him seek a place in their hearts because he had given them a place in his own heart.
Love "does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." Paul's opponents in Corinth are boastful. In their boasting they seek to commend themselves (3:1; 5:12). However, Paul chooses to boast of others as he takes pride in them.
Love "is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." Paul's love was not rude, self-seeking, easily angered and he kept no record of wrongs.Christ's love motivated Paul to sacrifice his feelings for them as he sought a proper attitude. How we see others is important because we usually get out of others what we see in them.
Traveler: What does this pigsty cost?
Innkeeper: For one pig, $5.00; for two pigs, $9.00.
Paul saw the Corinthians ardent concern for him. The result was a joy greater than ever.
Love "always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."Paul's love persevered in the mist of problems. Paul was so proud of them that he failed to be discouraged about how they felt toward him. He practiced the love of Christ because he believed Christ's love would conquer the sin in their lives. They have died together by sharing in the death of Christ (5:14), now they live together because they no longer live for themselves (5:15); now Christ love motivates them to live for each other.
"Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth." It is not easy to confront wrong in the lives of others unless you do it with an unloving heart. When we do it with an unloving heart we rejoice because we get a chance to tell-them-off. Paul regretted having to correct the Corinthians, but he was encouraged by their response to his correction.
Christ's love for the Corinthians not only brought out the best in Paul, but it brought out the best in the Corinthians.
Christ's love motivated Paul to see their innocence. Paul writes, "At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter." A professor I had in college said, "A Christian is a person who obeys the truth as soon as it is discovered." Being a Christian has to do with a willingness to obey the truth as soon as you discover it. This is what determines our guilt and innocence. We can sin in innocence, but the moment we discover that it is sin we are no longer innocence if we persist in it.
Christ's love brought the Corinthians to godly sorrow."For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done."
The love of Christ is designed to lead us to sorrow. It is not the kind of sorrow that seeks to condemn. Worldly sorrow seeks to condemn, but godly sorrow brings joy.
Discovery of truth should lead every person to be sorry because each of us has offended God's love. We can't be sorry for what we have done to God without repenting of our sin. His sorrow is designed to lead us to repentance. It only brings his judgment when we refuse to repent of evil. If we desire to turn from evil the moment we discover it, God does not count our sins against us.
Paul's love for them forced him to believe in their innocence. Paul's confidence in the Corinthians came from the disposition of his own heart toward them. He was proud of them (v. 4). His pride was motivated by the fact that he chose to believe they would repent when they were confronted with their sin. He knew the evil that was in the Corinthian church, but he was thoroughly convinced they would do what was right.
Paul's love for them forced them to recognize their own devotion to God. Paul writes, "So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong or of the injured party, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are. By all this we are encouraged." Paul didn't write to them because of the man guilty of sin. He wrote to them about the man in sin so that they could prove their devotion.
Their obedience to Paul's instruction proved their high regard for the truth Paul preached.
What better way to motivate others to grow than allowing them to prove themselves to themselves? Have you ever refrained from helping someone do something because you wanted them to prove to themselves that they could do it? I bought my grandson, who will be in the first grade, a first grade computer program this past week. I loaded it on the computer and stood back to let him figure it out for himself. I wanted him to prove to himself that he could do it. This is the greatest motivation to those learning and to those teaching. It instills confidence in student and teacher alike.
What better commentary on the subject of biblical love than the passages of this chapter of second Corinthians. This chapter gives us insight to handling troubles in difficult times as we are motivated by the promises of God to keep our heart pure.

I'm going to venture the drone pilot was at fault; flying too high, in a restricted area, didn't inform anybody.
I don't see a price anywhere.
"The drone, which is about four feet wide, is designed to destroy remote ground targets. The manufacturer claims it could revolutionize combat in much the same way the AK-47 did in the second half of the twentieth century."
I'm not sure if this is much more advantageous from a cannon or missile. Maybe like the AK-47 it just makes killing more accessible to smaller groups.

That led Bee Innovative, an Australian company, to pair up with UND to enhance the company's current drone technology that tracks bee movements and pollination patterns, the two companies announced Jan. 30."
I still don't get the details of this, and I wonder how many bees get chopped up by the drone meanwhile.
"Flights into and out of New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport were disrupted Tuesday night after two drones were reported flying over nearby Teterboro Airport.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Greg Martin told CNN that the agency stopped flights at the airport after the drones were reported over the smaller regional airport some 15 miles away. Both airports serve the greater metro New York City area.
The two drones were flying at 3,500 feet and have since cleared the airspace over the airport, Martin said."

Aplastic anemia is caused by several diverse factors, including a lack of or defective hematopoietic stem cells, immune abnormalities, and disorders of the bone marrow microenvironment. The outcome of transplanting bone marrow from genetically identical twins into patients with aplastic anemia may help define how frequently these factors play a role in this condition.
To determine the outcome of transplanting bone marrow from genetically identical twins into patients with aplastic anemia.
31 centers participating in the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry.
40 patients with aplastic anemia who received bone marrow transplants from their genetically identical twins between 1964 and 1992.
23 patients received their first bone marrow transplant without pretransplantation conditioning; 17 received it after pretransplantation conditioning with cyclophosphamide alone or combined with other drugs or radiation. Six patients received post-transplantation immunosuppressive therapy with methotrexate, cyclosporine, and corticosteroids, alone or in combination.
Outcomes of transplantation, including hematologic recovery and survival.
Seven of 23 patients who received their first transplant without receiving conditioning had sustained complete hematologic recovery. One of 16 patients who did not have complete recovery after the first transplantation recovered after a second transplantation, which was not preceded by conditioning. The other 15 patients had two to five transplantations that were preceded by conditioning; in 13 patients, sustained bone marrow function was recovered. Twelve of 17 patients whose first transplantation was preceded by conditioning had sustained complete hematologic recovery. The likelihood of hematologic recovery was greater in patients who had conditioning before the first transplantation (P = 0.033). The actuarial 10-year survival rate for the 40 patients was 78% (95% CI, 59% to 92%). The survival rate was higher in patients who did not have conditioning before the first transplantation (patients without conditioning, 87% [range, 65% to 99%]; patients with conditioning, 70% [range, 47% to 89%]; P = 0.037).
Most patients with aplastic anemia recover bone marrow function after receiving a transplant from a genetically identical twin. Pretransplantation conditioning may increase the chance of bone marrow recovery but does not seem to improve survival.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, data-driven framework proven to reduce disciplinary incidents, increase a school's sense of safety and support improved academic outcomes. More than 22,000 U.S. schools are implementing PBIS and saving countless instructional hours otherwise lost to discipline. The premise of PBIS is that continual teaching, combined with acknowledgement or feedback of positive student behavior will reduce unnecessary discipline and promote a climate of greater productivity, safety and learning. PBIS schools apply a multi-tiered approach to prevention, using disciplinary data and principles of behavior analysis to develop school-wide, targeted and individualized interventions and supports to improve school climate for all students. (OSEP Technical Assistance Center on Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports, 2009).
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based framework that helps schools design effective environments and supports that, when implemented with fidelity, increase teaching and learning opportunities for all students. The American Heritage Dictionary defines discipline as "training that is expected to produce a specific character or pattern of behaviors, especially training that produces moral or mental improvement." This is the focus of PBIS. Like reading and math, behavior can be taught and since 2008, Georgia's PBIS team at the GaDOE has worked with over 40 Georgia district's involving over 400 schools to prevent or reduce problem behaviors while creating more positive learning environments for all students. Georgia's PBIS schools report reduced discipline rates and increased learning opportunities in their classrooms. This work involves helping districts build the necessary framework to promote positive outcomes for all students over time.

Much of the off-season talk surrounding the Bowl Championship Series centered on increasing credibility in the system, which determines who plays in the major college national title game.
On Thursday, the coaches who vote in the ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll did their part to bolster the system's credibility.
The American Football Coaches Association, which oversees the poll, announced that it would make the coaches' votes public at the end of the regular season to add transparency to the poll.
• Kellen Winslow Jr. apologized to Browns fans for his reckless use of a motorcycle and confirmed that he will miss the upcoming season because of injuries sustained in the crash.
• Safety Cory Hall requested and was granted his release from the Washington Redskins, just two days after he signed with the team.
• Michelle Kwan said she wants to compete at the 2006 Games in Turin.
• Billy Kennedy, who coached Southeastern Louisiana to the school's first NCAA tournament berth, resigned to become an associate head coach at Miami.
• NBA Hall of Famer Dave Cowens was hired as coach and general manager of Chicago's expansion WNBA team.
• Arena Football League lineman Al Lucas died from blunt force trauma to his spinal cord during a game, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office. The death was ruled an accident, said Craig Harvey, operations chief at the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner.
Marion Jones will compete in the 100 meters at the Grand Prix Regione Lombardia next week in Milan, three days after her European season debut in the Netherlands.

You are here: Home | News | December 2011 | One-third of shelter residents are newly homeless
One-third of shelter residents are newly homeless
December 28 2011 by Josef Kuhn, Religion News Service
WASHINGTON (RNS) – Nearly one in five clients of Christian rescue missions said they were victims of physical violence within the past year, a 6 percent jump from the previous year, according to a new survey.
"It's quite possible that the uptick in physical violence ... is due to a friend or family member's feeling of desperation and helplessness accompanying their unemployment and underemployment," said John Ashmen, president of the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions (AGRM).
The Snapshot Survey of the homeless is conducted annually by AGRM, North America's oldest and largest network of independent homeless shelters and rehabilitation centers.
Nearly 19,000 individuals took the survey in October at 114 rescue missions; 17 percent of those surveyed were not currently homeless, but all had received services offered at the missions, such as food and medical care.
Although a quarter of those surveyed said they had been homeless three or more times before, an even higher figure – 35 percent – said they had never before been homeless.
Bill Roscoe, director of Boise (Idaho) Rescue Mission, said his shelter housed more than 2,000 people in the past year who had never been homeless before.
"We've seen quite a significant increase in numbers with women and children. In two years the average daily population in our women and children's shelter more than doubled," Roscoe said.
Aside from the increases in reported violence and numbers of women and children, the survey found that 80 percent of those using the rescue missions preferred receiving assistance from an agency with a spiritual emphasis.
"Unfortunately, nothing in the report is a huge surprise," Ashmen said. "Some public figures like to give the impression that government programs are curbing homelessness and hunger. We certainly aren't seeing it."

Q: Why is my z-index not working in this code? I have a website here with a sidebar, but I want the sidebar to be hidden until the user clicks on a menu button. Anyways, my .sidebar is on z-index: 0; while my .page-content is on z-index: 1;. Why is the sidebar not hidden when I load the webpage? I have nothing in my page-content except for a
 for testing purposes.
Here is my HTML file:
<!DOCTYPE html>

Test

#

#

#

#

#

And here is my CSS file:
h1 {
    /* Just to centre my text */
    position: relative;
    left: 50%;
}

.page-content {
    position: relative;
    z-index: 1;
}

.sidebar {
    position: fixed;
    left: 0px;
    top: 0px;
    bottom: 0px;
    width: 120px;
    padding: 30px;
    background: #333;
    z-index: 0;
}

So why isn't my sidebar being hidden when I load the webpage? When I load this, I can see the sidebar and the "Test" text both.
EDIT:
I see many of you have said that the z-index is not for hiding stuff. I am not trying to hide the sidebar. When the user clicks on the menu button, I want the page to slide over to reveal the sidebar, hence the reason I am using the z-index and not display: none;.
EDIT:
Some of you have said that this is a duplicate from another question, but when you read my comments, please realize that the question I am asking, is quite different. I am going to try to explain what I am attempting to do here as simply as I can. I have a website, where a user clicks on the menu bar, the entire website transitions 180px to the right, thus revealing the sidebar that is fixed underneath. You guys mentioned that my .page-content needs a background, but like someone else said, it only takes up my background as big as the objects inside are. How or where can I set a background that will move, yet still cover the sidebar completely?

A: Firstly, your z-index IS working.
z-index is not responsible for making an element visible or not. (For that, you can use the opacity,visibility, or display properties.
z-index can be used to position elements behind other elements with opaque backgrounds, which may make them appear hidden (pun intended), but rest assured, the element is still there.
Your CSS has no elements with opaque backgrounds with z-indicies higher than 0 that sit on top of .sidebar, so that's why you see it.

A: Add background to .page-content you will see the z-index's effect.
A better approach would be to hide the side bar with left property as some negative value, for example -100px as below.
.sidebar {
    position: fixed;
    left: -100px;
    top: 0px;
    bottom: 0px;
    width: 120px;
    padding: 30px;
    background: #333;
    z-index: 0;
}

and when the user clicks the menu icon set left: 0px using javascript.

A: Your sidebar is not hidden because your .page-content doesn't have a background. Put a background and add this CSS:
  .page-content{
     background: #fff;
     height: 100%;
     width: 100%;
  }

This way, you'll be able to slide it to then side afterward.

New principals hired to lead District 6 schools
Posted by KIM DESMOND on 7/15/2019 4:00:00 PM
Several new principals have been hired to lead schools in Greeley-Evans School District 6 for the 2019-20 school year.
Angie McDowell will take over as principal at Centennial Elementary School in Evans. McDowell worked as the assistant principal at Centennial, and also served in that role at Maplewood Elementary School and the former East Memorial Elementary School in District 6. She replaces Anthony Asmus, who is filling a grant-funded position at the central administration building to help elementary schools improve student achievement and growth.
Dr. Dawn Hillman, formerly principal at Prairie Heights Middle School, will be the new principal at Heath Middle School, after Principal Blakely Wallace resigned last year to take a principal position in the Cherry Creek School District.

Reyes came to District 6 in 2015 to serve as the assistant principal at Bella Romero Academy K-3 Campus. He also worked as an assistant principal and high school teacher in Wisconsin.
Jennifer Behrmann has been hired to serve as the preschool principal for District 6. Behrmann has worked 11 years as a special education teacher. She has also worked as an assistant principal and coordinator of curriculum and instruction in another school district.
Here is a list of new assistant principals and deans at District 6 schools beginning in August. This does not include charter schools:

District 6 receives grant for safety and security
Greeley-Evans School District 6 has been awarded a $1.5 million grant from the state of Colorado through its 2019 School Access for Emergency Response grant program.
The grant will be used to purchase radios and radio towers that will allow school safety teams at all schools, including charter schools, to be in direct radio communication with the Greeley Police Department, Evans Police Department and Weld County Sheriff's office during an emergency. The grant will also provide training for safety teams and law enforcement agencies on crisis management and use of the radios.
"We are grateful to the state for recognizing the need here in Greeley and Evans to have a coordinated communication system that can be utilized during a crisis," said John Gates, Chief of Safety and Security for District 6. "This grant will help us work with local law enforcement agencies more effectively and improve our overall crisis management systems."
District 6 received the largest grant awarded by the SAFER program this year. A total of $4.9 million dollars was awarded to eight school districts this year through the competitive grant program.
University Schools worked in cooperation with the District 6 Office of Safety and Security on this successful grant application.
