Is it Time We Allow Teenage MMA Fights in the USA?
(Editor's Note. The topic of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) would seem to be one that is not appropriate for The Sport Digest. Yet the study of ethics in sport is in fact one that concerns anyone planning to work in the fields of sport administration and sport management. What, for instance, does a person do in her job as Director of a Parks and Recreation program when a group of parents comes in with a demand that the organization add MMA to its list of youth sports offered. This group of parents represents taxpayers and may be large in number. What would you do if faced with this question? The writer is a reader of the blog who takes a position on this sport that is reasoned and well stated. This kind of debate is one engaged in by students at the United States Sports Academy. For more on Academy programs go to http://ussa.edu).
Ever been punched in the face? Ever been kicked, stepped on, or slammed? In the USA, boxing, soccer, football, and wrestling are all youth sanctioned sports, whose participants are almost all under the age of 18. Why then, if our children can be punched, kicked and slammed, can they not partake in the truest form of these activities, mixed martial arts (MMA)?
The goal of sport is to pit one human spirit against another to test bravery, sacrifice, commitment, teamwork, and perhaps glory or defeat. Have you ever seen or heard the raucous roars of the crowd from a UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) fight? It's carnal, very real, and in one form or another has been around well since before Romans immortalized gladiatorial combat at the Coliseum. There is simply no greater feeling than defeating another competitor in direct "fight for your life" combat, which pits mental and physical chess in a poetic symphony of punches, kicks, slams and body movements.
This is the same reason why the movie "300" was immensely successful – fighting, integrity, self sacrifice, love of team (country), and pure combat (the most honest expression humans have ever possessed). Some people would like to correlate anything violent with the worst in human nature; however, it's a dangerous conclusion to reach, because unless you have ever achieved great victory, you don't' know what it tastes like. It's addicting, and the greatest motivating force we possess.
Lose a swim meet, and you shrug it off. Give up a layup, and you'll get it next time. Face off against a human in a pseudo fight to the death (with safety rules in place) and your best will ALWAYS come out. Plato is credited with saying "necessity is the mother of invention". Necessity arrived at the Spartan walls in the form of the Persians. They birthed the Spartans. Is it time the USA decided to become a warrior country, rather than a fast food, T.V. zombie cesspool of "alternative sports"? In the movie, Spartacus, Leonidas' father beat his young son in combat, not to be cruel, but to ready him for his REAL FIGHT (life); we see this as his life or death encounter with the Wolf, where preparation and victory culminate to form the great man, father, and eventual King of the Spartans – Leonidas.
This is …. Sparta or Twinkieville?
America is breeding a culture of new age sports players, creating absurd youth sanctioned sports, giving out medals to everyone (even losers), and coddling the parents and children's feelings. The reality is, we live in a harsh world where you will always be tested, never forget that. Many people reminisce high school, or their glory days of college sport, when they were forced to look at the mirror, their exercise routine, food consumption, and warrior lifestyle. It's not because people want to live in the past; but as adults we lose this fundamental puzzle piece to what makes us homo sapiens – testing ourselves, team (country) comradery, and physical/mental perfection just as the Ancient Greeks taught. Why deprive our future generations this?
Kids break their legs every day in soccer, their arms in wrestling, become paralyzed in rugby/football, tear ACL's in basketball, and suffer broken noses/concussions in boxing. Yes, in MMA these things can all happen; BUT they rarely do, because 1) your opponent can tap out before having his arm/leg snapped/choked and 2) a referee is there to instantly stop the fight if there is any real danger.
Don't want your child to partake in MMA? More power to you. However, your personal choices, concerns and moral issues shouldn't impact that of your neighbors. I'm sure many vegans hate the fact meat is served in their school district, but this is America, where we have the freedom of choice.
Besides, it's already legal in many places throughout the world. Europe, which loves football (our soccer) has whole heartedly embraced MMA. Their rowdy spirit and love of country is translated into an obsession of sport. There is nothing more powerful than a group of like-minded, well capable warriors – just ask our Military forces. Imagine if we can foster a sense of pride, teamwork, and ultimate glory and acceptance of defeat (when victory is not possible) in our children.
Oh, and by the way, it just might save your life 40 years from now.

Mixed martial arts are for the glorification of the individual. "Me! I won!" Sorry, it doesn't remind me of "300", No eye-gouging, no biting, no scratching, no spears in the back, no ckoking the neck with the hands, plus, you can tap out if you get tired. Please pardon me, but, where is the MIXED in this activity? Where is the MARTIAL in this activity? Where is the ART in this actitivity? Art, for arts' sake, is meant to elevate humanity. How does MMA elevate humanity if it is `retro' to the time before "300"? When I watch a MMA match I am not inspired, instead, I wonder, "Why do these guys do this to themselves?". The martial arts were developed for self-defense and then refined for character-improvement WITH self-defensive capability, for the edification of the individual AND improvement of society. In my opinion, MMA is challenged to fit in a modern world and does NOT belong in adolescent sports activities simply because of the danger AND liability inherent in knocking out a kid with a shot to the chin. A child's brain, and the neck supporting it, is too important an organ to waste for a moment of thrill. For the time being, the classical martial arts are safe enough for children. When they become adults, perhaps then, they can give informed consent to have their heads bashed in. Let adults do MMA if they wish, they can assume that risk. MMA may even be beneficial for the pracitioners, as long as they can do their jobs the next day.
Thank you so much for writing this. There is so much you say here that I have felt and could not put into words. Thank you. I'm currently a graduate school student at United States Sports Academy (Sport Management/Sport Medicine). I am one of those students you speak of making a legitimate name for MMA in the acedemic realm of things. Great article. Thanks again. I comend you on your choice of words.
In simple terms: MMA should not exist for younger adults or teenagers. Why: In the current form, MMA does not differentiate different forms within Martial Arts.
The problem: when focusing on a single sport, Sample: H.S.wrestling. rules exists that are focused to insuring the athletes safety & security. This movement, Full Nelson in High School wrestling is against the rules: possible injury to the neck spinal columun, (Cervical Vertebrae).
MMA allows the FULL NELSON, stating its up to the athlete to state, i'm hurt, or, give up.
Cervical Bones can slide out of place due to simply by applying pressure, or, lifting a heavy load…body. That pressure may lead to a pinched nerve or cracked cervical bone. Where the bodies ability to hold weight is decreased to the point where the athlete may not perform any sport. Learning may also become impaired by pinched spinal nerve.
We make Rules, where young & less experienced Athletes whom require greater amounts of insulation to gain: Strength, Endurance & Technique will allow them to find growth and have fun.
MMA should not be rushed into due to popular enthusiasm.
You need to read an article entitled INCIDENCE OF INJURY IN PROFESSIONAL MMA COMPETITIONS from the Journal of Sport Science and Medicine (2006) by Gregory H. Bledsoe. I know, the article focuses on professional MMA as oppose to a high school sport, but I seriously feel that most people respond subjectively, out of instinct, negatively about MMA without really knowing the true incedence of injury. Highschool football is more dangerous than professional MMA.

Heartworm is a huge concern for animals, and for those who care for them, here in Korea. The following is a simple outline on heartworm – what it is and how to prevent, treat, and do further research on the disease. I hope you find it helpful. I am writing the following from research and experience. I am not a vet. I am a pet guardian in Korea who aided my pet through heartworm treatment to become healthy and heartworm free. I am also a volunteer at KAPS in Daegu. Please know that should you need to treat your pet for heartworm, you have a base of support here in ARK.
Literally, they are worms in an animal's heart.
How do the worms get there?
Heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquito bites.
How prevalent is heartworm in Korea?
Korea has a very high rate of heartworm positive animals. Due to Korea's geography and weather patterns, the country is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and thus also the disease.
How do I prevent my pet from getting heartworm?
Ask your vet for year-round preventative and follow directions on how to administer the preventative properly.
What is the difference between preventative and treatment?
Preventative blocks your pet from getting heartworms. Treatment is the method used to kill heartworms that the animal already has.
Heartworm prevention is safe, easy and inexpensive. While treatment for heartworm disease in dogs is possible, it is a complicated and expensive process, taking weeks for infected animals to recover.
My pet has heartworms, now what?
Heartworm treatment can be dangerous and costly, but the risks are worth the benefits! Talk to your vet about the best options for your animal. Your vet should do a blood test to ensure the animal's filter organs are strong enough to endure the treatment needed. Additional testing may also be done to determine the level of infection in your pet. The levels range from early infection to Caval Syndrome (severe). For more information on the levels of heartworm, please visit: AHS Canine Guidelines - Principles of Treatment.
Your personal veterinarian will determine the best treatment for your pet. As your pet's guardian, you should follow their advice exactly. Only with the help of your veterinarian, will you be able to cure your pet of the disease in the safest and most effective way possible.
All treatments involve the same arsenic-based compound (unless surgery is recommended), called Immiticide. There are "No 'natural' or herbal therapies (AHS Canine Guidelines PDF) that have been shown to be safe and effective treatment for heartworm disease." Your pet must be in general good health to be able to receive the shots needed.
There actually is no approved treatment for heartworm positive cats. Talk to your vet to determine the best option should your cat test positive for heartworm. There are options, but they pose a greater risk to your cat than the treatment available to dogs. You and your vet should be able to come to the best decision for you and your animal.
Please start your animal on preventatives as soon as possible to avoid the heartache that heartworm cause – for both you and your pet!
What do I do after my pet receives treatment shots?
The process for the animal's body to get rid of the worms, are for the white blood cells to slowly eat away at the dead worms floating through the bloodstream. If your pet does not get the proper rest needed, then as the pet exercises, the heart will pump blood faster, pushing dead worms too fast through the bloodstream possibly leading to a clot. The clot of dead worms is referred to as an embolism. You want to prevent this from happening as it can cause damage to limbs, the brain, or kill your pet. Please listen to your vet and get your pet as much rest as needed.
Feel you need assistance, advice, tips on how to keep your pet calm? Try a calming product such as the Calming Collar or Comfort Zone 2. If your animal must go outdoors to go to the bathroom, stick to a schedule so the animal knows when to hold it and when it needs to go. Keep the bathroom outings short. Keep the animal entertained with toys indoors, but ones that they do not need to chase or get excited over – bones are excellent for dogs. Keep yourself calm – your pet can pick up on your emotions and actions and if you are feeling excited or are running around, your pet will be able to tell and may mirror your feelings. So, keep calm to keep them calm, keep a schedule to keep them routine, keep them entertained in a relaxing way, and you will have a healthy animal after the rest that is needed!
What if I don't treat the heartworms?
The animal can live with heartworms, but their longevity and quality of life are affected. Heartworms cause extensive, irreversible damage to the heart and lungs. Talk to your vet, consider your pet, and come to the best option for your pet. Your pet cannot chose; you have to decide for them.
The best thing you can do is give your pet year-round preventative. Mark your calendar and don't forget! The monthly preventative is usually a meaty flavored treat that pets love. But there are other options, such as a topical application as well. Talk to your vet! Please prevent your pet from getting this heartbreaking disease.
The American Heartworm Society website has very useful information for vets and pet guardians alike, from posters to videos to up-to-date veterinary research on the disease. Please take advantage of all the information they offer. Additional links are collected below.

I think it's important for people to know that "preventatives" like Heartgard, Revolution, etc. don't PREVENT a dog from getting infected. They are poisons that KILL any existing immature heartworms in the dog's blood (it does not kill adult heartworms in the heart). Therefore, if your dog has no heartworms in its blood, it is getting an unnecessary dose of poison every month. I'm not suggesting that dogs in Korea should not be getting these 'preventatives'. I'm just saying that poisons should not be given to your dog lightly. They should not be receiving them in the cold months when heartworms are not capable of developing. Also, research suggests that they are effective if given every 6 weeks instead of every 4 weeks.
Finally, there is an alternative to the fast kill method (immiticide injections) of heartworm treatment. It is called the slow kill method. I'll refrain from going into an explanation here but you can google it for plenty of information. It doesn't involve any injections.

Todays outfit was inspired by the 80s, they used to combine bright colours a lot. I concentrated on a colour family, rather than using random bright colours like they might have done in that time period. It turned out really fun and playful, while incorporating the summer vibes. How was your weekend?
sei carina da matti con questo look in tono!!!
You are so sweet, amazing skirt!
Oh great outfit! Love your skirt and heels, as well. Just followed you, as you asked. Would you follow me back?
Love that skirt, and I love how you used all the same color family! Great post!
fab summer look! you are so lovely girl! keep blogging!
You are really a doll !! Very nice blue outfit, chic and fashion for you and your style!!
Very gentle and beautiful, darling!

A: The log clearly tells you what the problem is:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.TextView cannot be cast to android.widget.EditText

You are attempting converting a TextView field from your layout file to a Java EditText.

Check activity_main.xml to find the mal-defined field.

A: You initialize your object as an EditText
private EditText tipCustomEditText; //displays custom tip amount

But then you find a View that is (probably) a TextView and try to cast it to EditText
tipCustomEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.customTipTextView);

Change these lines to:
private TextView tipCustomEditText; //displays custom tip amount
tipCustomEditText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.customTipTextView);

Accordingly.

A: Here
tipCustomEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.customTipTextView);

the ID name says TextView but your code try to cast to EditText.
Anyway to be more specific, it's here: MainActivity.java line 65

We're doing something completely different at Sugarfire. We take the best traditions of the best barbecue cities in the U.S.A. to create a St. Louis style barbecue that's all its own. Our award-winning barbeque tantalizes taste buds with baby back ribs, juicy pulled pork, and the best beef brisket in town. And we're famous for our specials: meaty mashups that defy logic and even gravity. Alongside the classics, we've 'cued up andouille, artichokes, cheese curds, mushrooms, and more.


In the article I'll tell you about why it is important to Avoid Mistakes When Dealing In Real Estate. Selling, buying and renting are the three main activities in real estate industry. People commit many mistakes while buying and selling the property. To minimize these risks it is better to know everything about selling or buying procedures.
A person should know the tactics to profitably sell the property they are willing to. Everyone exclaims when some houses are sold fast but some keep waiting for its buyers. People should know the marketing tactics to easily sell their property without many problems. A person should understand one thing that there are over thousand properties on sale and only a few hundred buyers.
The main work is to attract those few hundred buyers to your property. All you need to do is to reduce the marketing mistakes. It is very difficult to market your property yourself. So the first step is to hire a property dealer or an agent who markets your property. These agents have clients on their list who can buy your property.
So the first mistake you should avoid is not to market your property yourself. People look for good profitable deals. List a price for your home according to the market rates. So the second mistake that is to be avoided is not to list a very high price for your property. Appearance gives the first impression to the people. Spend some bucks in renovating your property.
After renovation you should keep it for marketing. So the third mistake that is to be avoided is not to display your poorly maintained property. Keep another thing in mind that staging helps sell the property faster. Give the customer an idea ho w the space can be occupied. This helps them to visualize the place as their home. This helps you in selling it faster.
So the fourth mistake could be if you will present a very ill managed ad dirty property. You have options of putting your home visuals online. This improves people's listings and boosts your confidence.
Similarly in buying a house many people commit various mistakes. For a better deal one should keep in mind, eyes and ears open. It is advised not to take any decision very fast. You should not get impressed very fast, and even if you do, you should do a few things: get a contractor to check the property, get a home insurance estimate for an idea of your monthly payments and walk around the neighborhood at different times of the day. You should look at each and every aspect of the property before finalizing the deal.
So the first mistake that is to be avoided is not to take decision in hustle. Always consider the property which is well ventilated with proper lightening. Avoid property which are poor on ventilation and are poorly lighted. This can help you in avoiding the second mistake. Always do the dealing with the help of an agent. An agent can help you make a good deal. If the property you are going to buy has debts linked to it then it is better not to buy such property.
These tips and suggestions can surely help you in avoiding the common mistakes while buying and selling.

Akron Law news
School of Law named a top school in the nation for trial advocacy
The University of Akron School of Law has again been named a "top law school for Trial Advocacy" in the winter 2018 issue of The National Jurist's preLaw Magazine. It is one of only two Ohio law schools to earn this honor.
The recognition, which is based on the breadth of its curricular offerings in trial advocacy, places Akron Law among the top third of American Bar Association accredited law schools. The school was similarly recognized by preLaw Magazine in 2015 and 2016, and in recent years the magazine also has named Akron Law among the best schools for intellectual property law, bar exam preparation, and preparing prosecutors and public defenders. In 2015, the magazine named Akron Law a "Best Value" law school and listed its Reentry Clinic as one of the most innovative in the nation.
Trial advocacy skills are in high demand and opportunities to cultivate and master these skills are a key component of Akron Law's practice-ready curriculum. Students are exposed to the courtroom as early as their first week of law school, when they can serve as jurors and witnesses in Akron Law's innovative Summer Trial Academy program. The academy allows upperclass students to work directly with practicing lawyers to prepare and try simulated cases before real judges in their actual courtrooms.
Akron Law students also have the opportunity to take as many as 15 different courses and seminars in trial advocacy, litigation, and related skills and to earn a Certificate in Litigation as part of a J.D. degree. Students can choose from nine clinical programs that allow them to represent real clients in Municipal Court, Domestic Relations Court, Immigration Court and other forums. And they can participate in Akron Law's award-winning Trial Team, which travels around the country for litigation competitions and has won 18 national or regional titles.
"Akron Law has long enjoyed a national reputation for training first-rate litigators," said Dean Christopher J. (C.J.) Peters. "We are honored that preLaw Magazine has once again recognized our excellence in this area, alongside other outstanding law schools such as Duke, Notre Dame and Michigan."
PreLaw Magazine was established in 1998 as a news source for prospective law students. It is an offshoot of The National Jurist, which has provided legal education news to law students since 1991.
Media contact: Lisa Craig, 330-972-7429 or lmc91@uakron.edu.
Students hone their trial advocacy skills in a classroom set up as a courtroom in the School of Law.

Big Sean Releases Nipsey Hussle Collaboration 'Deep Reverence'
The Marathon continues.
After announcing a release date for his album Detroit 2, Big Sean debuts his Nipsey Hussle collaboration "Deep Reverence." Produced by Hit-Boy and G-RY, the long-awaited track—which was previewed back in March—finds Sean Don sharing his testimony, while Neighborhood Nip drops some knowledge for the streets.
"F**k rap, I'm a street legend / Block love me with a deep reverence / I was birthed in a C-section / Hella cops and police presence / We got opps so we keep weapons," raps the Crenshaw legend. "Y'all still learnin' street lessons / From the mastermind, first you master grind / Then your team catch it / This time is for the money, I don't need credit / And I'm the don 'cause the streets said it."
Sean addresses his rumored beef with Kendrick Lamar following their "Control" collaboration: "After what happened to Nipsey, I reached out to Kendrick / It wasn't even no real issues there to begin with / Lack of communication and wrong information from people / Fueled by the ego is like mixing flames with diesel."
He even reveals that he thought about taking his own life. "In high school I learned chemistry, biology / But not how to cope with anxiety / Or how I could feel like I'm by myself on an island / With depression on all sides of me / With a Glock 17 right on the side of me / Look, I ain't think I had the thought of suicide in me / Until life showed me all these different sides of me."
Sean closes out the track with a dedication to Nipsey: "If it ain't Nipsey blue, it's Detroit blue / This that Detroit 2 / I'm bringin' it back to the hood like D-Boys do, gone."
RIP NIP!!! I can't think of a better time to drop this one! Love! #Detroit2 next week! Letssss goooooooooo! 🚀
— Sean Don (@BigSean) August 25, 2020
Following Nipsey's death in March 2019, Sean reflected on Nipsey's legacy and their decade-long friendship. "You'll live forever Nipsey Hussle the Great, your impact was too powerful and you were a master at your craft," he said. "Everyone was so excited about what you accomplished, what you were doing for the community, your constant growth and what we were going to see next out of you!"
Detroit 2, Sean's fifth studio album, arrives Sept. 4 and was executive produced by Hit-Boy and Kanye West.
"I watched bro @bigsean lock in for hours til every bar hit how he wanted it to," Hit-Boy tweeted. "His vision was clear from the jump this is some of his most elevated work on every level. Proud is an understatement!!"
This one hits way too hard. Over what? We lost a king, father, role model, leader, great mind, son, teacher, husband, entrepreneur, poet OVER WHAT? Something that could have been avoided?! You'll live forever Nipsey Hussle the Great, your impact was too powerful and you were a master at your craft. everyone was so excited about what you accomplished, what you were doing for the community, your constant growth and what we were going to see next out of you! My prayers go out to Lauren London, your kids, family and friends. It's been an honor knowing you for the last decade bro! The Marathon continues, Rest in Paradise Legend 💔

Kehlani and Syd Join Disclosure on 'Birthday'


Bed. Sheets without sleep, and the first birds.
Dawn at the pace of a yacht.
from the depot, like a block of ice.
dawn with gold in its teeth.
someone's husband is touching someone's wife.
One day older the planet weeps.
close the cover with my bare foot.
Dawn when the mind looks out of its nest.
crossing the lawn and closing the gate.
Have been thinking about posting some Armitage on the site for a while, so I decided it was finally time we featured him. What won me to this poem were the first ten lines – the image of the bus with its burden of melting light, "Dawn at the pace of a yacht". After that, everything else in the poem is suffused with this tender, almost heartbreaking glow.
More Armitage poems on Minstrels – including this one, which is one of my personal favourites.
Ludwig has another beautiful Armitage poem here.

Randy Travis cited for simple assault in Texas
FILE - This Feb. 6, 2012 file photo provided by the Denton County Sheriff's Department in Texas, shows country music star Randy Travis. Plano, Texas police say they're citing country star Travis for simple assault after he got involved in a couple's argument Thursday night, Aug. 23, 2012 in a church parking lot. Plano police Officer David Tilley said Friday that nobody was hurt, but Travis and another woman were ticketed for simple assault, a Class C misdemeanor similar to a parking citation. Travis was arrested Aug. 7 in Grayson County on charges of driving while intoxicated and retaliation or obstruction, for allegedly threatening officers. He was arrested in February in Sanger for public intoxication. The police report does not indicate alcohol was involved in the latest incident. (AP Photo/Denton County Sheriff's Department, File)

Q: golang function type inheritance? Consider this example in Go language:
type I interface {
    get() string
}

type S struct {}
func (s *S) get() string {
    return "here!"
}
var sSupplier = func() *S {
    return &S{}
}

func foo(supplier func () I) {
    i := supplier()
    println(i)
}

func main() {
    foo(sSupplier) // compile error, type mismatch
}

Type S inherit interface I. But apparently type func () *S does not inherit func () I, so I cannot call foo with sSupplier in place of the supplier function. Is there a way to fix it without forcing sSupplier to return type I?
In java you can use generics to do something like <T extends I> void foo(Supplier<T> supplier) {...} then call foo(sSupplier); with Supplier<S> sSupplier type. I'm not sure if similar approach is possible in go?

A: If you think for a bit about what generics do for you, they are really a way to ask the compiler to compile, on the spot, an anonymous wrapper function or lambda or whatever is needed to map from some concrete type.  That is, given something like (I'll use C++ syntax here rather than Java as I'm much more familiar with C++):
template<T>
void f(T obj) {
    // do stuff with the object
}

you're telling the compiler that when it sees f(int_value) it should build a function f that takes an int, and when it sees f(struct S) it should build a function f that takes a struct S, and so on.  (This is a bit more natural in Java than it is in C++'s C underpinnings since Java does the whole argument-matching thing to decide which of these various f functions to call.)
In effect, instead of writing the actual function, you write a template—hence the C++ keyword—that the compiler can use to, at compile time, produce the function you really wanted.  Since Go lacks generics, it lacks this sort of template-expansion trick.
That leaves you with several obvious alternatives, though.  One is exemplified by go:generate (see, e.g., Explain go generate in this example).  In this particularly simple case, though, you can just write the expansion yourself in line:
foo(func() I { return sSupplier() })

See a more complete example on the Go playground.  I replacd your println(i) with fmt.Printf("%#v\n", i) to print the interface object's value in a slightly more useful form.

Q: Does a device need to be rooted in order for a background process to take screenshots Can a process take screen shots without the device being rooted?

A: On some devices you can grab the framebuffer without root, but these are not all that common compared to the number of Android devices in general.
In short, if you are aiming for a wide userbase, you will need to have the device rooted.


Rather than retiring and leaving the company at once, participants gradually give up their day-to-day responsibilities, while replacing some of their free time with activities like mentoring and teaching master classes to their successors. In addition, they get more time out of the office doing whatever they want—be it planning for life in retirement or doing charity work. The phased retiree continues to receive a portion of his previous salary, benefits as usual, and the company in turn gets to hold on to some of its most valuable employees a year or more past traditional retirement age.
Retiring clergy go to "half-time" while the incoming minister becomes the full-time minister. This could lead to conflicts of personality and people not seeing the new pastor as the "real pastor" but could be helpful to get on-the-church training.
Retiring clergy could become mini-district-superintendents and lead accountability groups for a cluster of clergy for a year after retirement. They would have the experience to be helpful, and be "outside the system" enough that clergy would confide unofficial thoughts with them.
Other thoughts on clergy retirements and how to keep the wisdom in the pools while allowing for new growth and ideas? Discuss.

SRA stays on report over ABS licensing
SRA: review promised
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is to remain on report over its performance in licensing alternative business structures (ABSs) until it outlines how it will stop making "disproportionate" requests for information from applicants, it has emerged.
The regulator has to provide regular updates to the Legal Services Board (LSB) on its progress with ABS licensing under a so-called section 55 notice, and the board has considered ending this in light of performance improvements.
But a report to the LSB's full board meeting last month said: "We still have concerns as to whether the information required from applicants by the SRA is proportionate or targeted to what the Legal Services Act actually stipulates. In this regard, work done by the LSB on schedule 13 approvals exposed a number of areas where information requests have been considered disproportionate."
Schedule 13 is where the detailed licensing requirements are laid out; it has long been a concern that the SRA takes these too far, particularly in investigating a long way up the chain of ownership.
The report continued: "The SRA has promised to review these issues. We consider that this represents a genuine commitment. We understand that it has identified and is already carrying out work on its authorisation process.
"However, it has not as yet produced project plans or shared these with us, as agreed. As such, the scope, timetable and expected deliverables for its review are unclear. We have made clear to the SRA that the section 55 notice will have to remain in place until this is progressed."
The SRA has been unable to provide a comment to Legal Futures on what stage its work on this has reached.
The report also outlined how the SRA's ABS authorisation process is running at the moment:
As of 15 January, the SRA has granted 363 ABS licences
It takes on average just over six months from the submission of an application for a firm to be granted an ABS licence;
Of the applications submitted since January 2014 which have been granted a licence (73 licences), the average time taken is under three and a half months;
The SRA has reduced its work in progress caseload from 142 applications in January 2013 to 37 in January 2015 and during this time it has closed 105 applications through withdrawal and granted 288 ABS licences;
The average age of a work in progress application is over two and a half months; and
None of the work in progress applications are older than nine months and four applications are over six months old.

Claremont McKenna College Incidents Spark Diversity Discussion

After a week of unrest at a small Southern California college, students are continuing their discussion around diversity and support for students of color at a historically white institution.
Claremont McKenna College has been at the center of a media firestorm after a dean was forced to resign in the wake of accusations of institutional racism. The small, elite private college, located in the eastern suburbs of Los Angeles, also saw the resignation of the junior class president after a picture posted on Facebook showed her with two fellow students wearing "mariachi" costumes that have been deemed cultural appropriation by many. The incidents have prompted intense conversations regarding inclusion and diversity at the school.
"These things served as catalyst for a lot of students who feel marginalized at CMC," said Claremont McKenna College senior Yeo Shang Xuan.
The events at Claremont McKenna happened in parallel to other racially charged incidents at the University of Missouri, Yale University and Duke University, among others.
Last Wednesday, students protested on Claremont McKenna's campus against the alleged lack of support for minority students. They also were a part of the #MillionStudentMarch on Thursday, which supported the Black Lives Matter campaign.

The Claremont McKenna-specific protest was sparked in part by an email from Dean Mary Spellman to Lisette Espinosa that insinuated Espinosa did not fit the "CMC mold." Students said that this one not a singular incident, and that students of color have repeatedly encountered racism at the college.
Claremont McKenna was founded as Claremont Men's College in 1946, and has historically "confronted deep-seated practices that, intentional or not, conceived of higher-education from a primarily white, heteronormative, upper-class, male perspective."
The college has tried to shake these values in favor of a more inclusive model, but a 2012 study found that remnants of these values still remained as the administration struggled hire diverse faculty and cultivate an inclusive campus culture.
Third-year Taylor Lemmons announced Wednesday that she would go on a hunger strike until Dean Spellman resigned, which she did Thursday.
The dialogue around the issues has had a prominent space on social media. A picture of the junior class president and her friends in so-called "appropriative" costumes was first posted on Facebook and following discussions were shared on Tumblr; the announcement of the hunger strike came on Medium. At the protest last Wednesday, students referenced a Yik Yak hashtag that read "#shushPOC," indicating that students of color should be quiet.
Tension on campus has been building for some time, current students said. The 2012 Report of the Campus Climate found that the college's commitment to increasing and maintaining conversations around diversity was waning. Just 60 percent of black students surveyed for the Campus Climate & Student Life survey said that the "CMC campus is free of tension related to race/ethnicity," in compared to 80 percent of other respondents.
Last April, about 30 students of color sent a letter to Claremont McKenna's president, Hiram Chodosh, asking for more institutional support for students of color, including funding for multicultural clubs and mandatory race-sensitivity training for students and faculty.

Since the protests and subsequent resignation of Dean Spellman, students said that current conversations have expanded to include other points of view outside of the protests.
The Claremont Independent has been a forum for students outside the protest movement to express their frustrations. Student Ben Sacks wrote a letter to Dean Spellman that was published on the site: "I'm sorry that I have failed to stand up for my beliefs and your rights as an administrator because as a white, privileged, cis-gendered, able-bodied, male student my views carry no weight in the eyes of the masses and can easily ostracize me as an unsympathetic bigot."
On Sunday, The Claremont Independent released a letter that has reportedly gained 277 signatures denouncing the actions taken by protestors last week, but acknowledging that change needed to happen on campus.
"We acknowledge that marginalization is a problem throughout the entire nation, and regardless of the color of our skin we promise to continue to change the status quo until people of all backgrounds and dispositions can live together without any fear of racial intolerance," the letter read. "That being said, we do not condone many of the actions of the movement this past week."
The letter cited the alleged cyber-bullying of white women who dressed as "Mexicans" for Halloween and denounced the opening of a federal investigation against Claremont McKenna. They also criticized the hunger strike and the behavior of students at last Wednesday's protest after some students shouted at administrators while refusing to allow them to use the microphone to address questions.

The discussions have not been confined to Claremont McKenna, but have also spread to the school's sister institutions. Claremont McKenna is part of the Claremont Consortium, which includes Pomona College, Pitzer College, Harvey Mudd College and Scripps College. The 5Cs, as they are colloquially known, share geographic space, unite to form NCAA sports teams, and allow students to take classes across campuses.
Each institution has a distinct culture, though. Each has different academic standards and values, but students often form friendships across school lines, meaning that issues at one school will almost inevitably spark discussion on every campus. Yeo said that many of the students at Wednesday's protest were Pomona and Harvey Mudd College students.
"In general, my sense is that these conversations, before these protests broke out, were more commonplace in general at some of the other Claremont Colleges," said Yeo.
Each school has a distinct history of student activism. Pomona College, the largest of the undergraduate institutions in the consortium, has had student protests following the firing of 17 undocumented workers in 2011 and organized die-ins in Frary Dining Hall following the events in Ferguson and the Black Lives Matter protests last year.
Helen Jun, a senior at Pomona College, said the events at Claremont McKenna have permeated her campus' consciousness. "I would say it's very restless now. Even in classrooms, at least the ones that I've been in, a good number of them have addressed it. In one, instead of doing the lecture we just talked about what's going on on campus. All the political unrest has been pervading every area of the school," said Jun.
Claremont McKenna announced the creation of two new positions to make diversity a priority, one under the Dean of Faculty and one under the Dean of Students. "This is the time for CMC to heal and move forward," said interim Dean of Students Jeff Huang.
Looking forward, students are unsure how the school will be able to cultivate a more inclusive campus culture.
"Ultimately, I think what is needed more than anything is for people to have a change in heart. I believe true transformation comes from within. For example, "I want to actually sit down and have a conversation with you and listen to you and be your friend,"" said Yeo.

Holcim Philippines pushes for greater gender diversity to drive innovation and growth
With diverse workforces proven to drive innovation and business growth, building solutions provider Holcim Philippines, Inc. is looking to review and update programs to improve its ability to attract more women to the company.
Holcim Philippines plans to increase its female workforce to 30% by 2030 from the current 20% by strengthening policies and putting up additional infrastructure and facilities that cater to women. This is in line with the ambitions of the LafargeHolcim Group to improve the diversity in its operations worldwide as part of its Sustainability goals.
"To enhance the participation of females in the company, we've been reviewing and improving our existing policies and infrastructures. We want to make sure that we have these essentials in our offices and plants so we have the right environment to welcome women and nurture their potential. We believe that doing so helps our company in its goal to help the Philippines build better with certainty," said Holcim Philippines President and CEO Sapna Sood, the first female head of a cement company in the country.
Aside from strong compliance with laws and regulations applicable to women in the workplace, Holcim Philippines also provides additional maternity benefits on top of what is legally required. It has also supported the establishment of women's councils at its sites, where female employees discuss important issues to them.
And while Holcim Philippines' purposive efforts to make the company more female-friendly are at its early stages, women are already making inroads. The company has had a female plant manager and 32% of its leadership team, are women including Sood. With the initiatives to be rolled out, the company hopes to build on and sustain these gains.
Sood said it makes good business sense to attract more women to the company as it expands the talent pool for potential employees and with diversity proven to bring business benefits.
Various studies including ones done by the World Economic Forum and the McKinsey & Company have shown that diversified workforce drives greater innovation and deliver better business results.
"Having a variety of perspectives provides us new insights that can help us improve. This is especially critical for us since we are looking to transform the company to be more relevant in an increasingly competitive business environment and more impactful in the country's development," she added.
A chemical engineer, Sood said that more women should consider careers in science, engineering, technology, and math given the growing opportunities related to these fields. She noted for example that even as the local construction industry is expected to grow on the plans to improve the country's infrastructure, various groups point to the lack of engineers to oversee the projects.
Sood added that as more women join their workforce, Holcim Philippines is committed to promoting an inclusive environment for everyone, where there are equal opportunities for women, who have the right skills, values, and mindsets.
"We want to show female engineers and professionals that Holcim Philippines is a place where they can build their career and that there are a lot of opportunities available for them here in the country and also abroad," she said.
"Now is the right time to push greater gender diversity in workplaces. At Holcim Philippines, this mission is our way of saying that every woman can excel in any field that they choose, even in masculine industries like the cement manufacturing and construction," said Sood.

Chinese smartphone manufacturer Meizu has announced the Meizu Pro 6. Other than being packed with multiple features, the successor to the Meizu Pro 5 is the first smartphone in the world to be equipped with MediaTek's latest Helio X25 processor.
Meizu's Pro 6 features a 5.2-inch full HD Super AMOLED display with 2.5D curved glass over it. In addition to the deca-core MediaTek Helio X25 processor, the Pro 6 is fitted with 4GB of RAM and a Mali-T880 MP4 GPU. In the camera department, Meizu has opted for the Sony IMX 230 21MP sensor for the Pro 6's rear camera, while the front camera has a 5MP sensor.
Internal storage wise, the Meizu Pro 6 comes in either 32GB or 64GB models, with support for microSD card expansion (using the SIM2 slot) of up to 128GB. In terms of connectivity, the smartphone packs a USB 3.1 Type-C port with transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps. The company has introduced mCharge – a charging mechanism that allows the Pro 6 to be fully charged in one hour. Besides that, the Meizu Pro 6 also supports VoLTE, Bluetooth v4.2, as well as WiFi ac.
Powering the 7.25mm thick Pro 6 is a non-removable 2,560mAh battery with Flyme 6.0, which is based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Other than that, the device also comes with 3D Press (similar to Apple's 3D Touch), as well as a Hi-Fi Cirrus Logic DAC for audio enhancement.
The Meizu Pro 6 will be available in three colours – gray, gold, and silver. The 32GB variant will go for 2,499 Chinese yuan (about RM1,500), while the 64GB variant will be sold for 2,799 Chinese yuan (roughly RM1,670). However, seeing that the Meizu Pro 5 never made it into Malaysia, it's hard to tell whether the Meizu Pro 6 will have the same fate.

Q: CSRF in Go Web Applications I want to implement CSRF prevention in my Go web application. Users don't log in, but they do fill out forms and pay (via Stripe Checkout).
Posting something sets a key in a session variable (cookie) so they can later edit what they've posted, and a URL in an email allows them to come back when the cookie has expired and edit it again if need be.
From what I can see, I can use https://code.google.com/p/xsrftoken/ with the "double submitted cookie" method to implement CSRF prevention by:

*

*Generate a CSRF token against an arbitrary user ID (uuid.V4() via go-uuid), like so:
if session.Values["id"] == "" {
session.Values["id"] = uuid.NewV4()
}

csrfToken := xsrftoken.Generate(csrfKey, session.Values["id"], "/listing/new/post")

*... and store that in the session and render it in a hidden field in the template:
session.Values["csrfToken"] = csrfToken
...
<input type="hidden" id="_csrf" value={{ .csrfToken }}>

*When the user submits the form, I need to get the ID I generated, confirm that the submitted csrfToken from the form matches the one in the session, and if so, validate it with the xsrf package to confirm it hasn't expired:
userID := session.Values["id"]

if session.Values["csrfToken"] != r.PostFormValue("csrfToken") {
http.Redirect(w, r, "/listing/new", 400)
}

if !xsrftoken.Valid(session.Values["csrfToken"], csrfKey, userID, "/listing/new/post") {
http.Redirect(w, r, "/listing/new", 400)
}

My pertinent questions are:

*

*Should I generate a new token every time the form is rendered? Or is it acceptable to re-use a non-expired token for a single user session?  Update: According to this answer I should only generate a new token per session (i.e. so the same user gets the same token on the same form, until the token expires)

*Given the updated question, how do I handle the situation where a created token expires between the time the user requests the form and then submits the form? (perhaps it had 10 minutes left, and they alt+tabbed out for a while) Re-direct them back to the form (re-populated, of course!) and generate a new session id + csrf token?

*Is there a different way to do this? Coding Horror indicates that SO generates a unique key for every HTML form sent to the client? How would I go about going down this route with the xsrf package, given that it wants a userID when generating a new key?

*What else have I overlooked?

A:
Should I generate a new token every time the form is rendered? Or is
  it acceptable to re-use a non-expired token for a single user session?
  Update: According to this answer I should only generate a new token
  per session (i.e. so the same user gets the same token on the same
  form, until the token expires)

It is a good idea to regenerate both the token and session ID often. Given a persistent attacker and a viable entry vector, it's  just a matter of time until the attacker obtains both. If, however, at least one of both identifiers regenerates before the attacker is able to crack the current one, then no problem.

Given the updated question, how do I handle the situation where a
  created token expires between the time the user requests the form and
  then submits the form? (perhaps it had 10 minutes left, and they
  alt+tabbed out for a while) Re-direct them back to the form
  (re-populated, of course!) and generate a new session id + csrf token?

You can update cookies and CSRF tokens through AJAX if you want to give your client vast time to fill out a form.

Is there a different way to do this? Coding Horror indicates that SO
  generates a unique key for every HTML form sent to the client? How
  would I go about going down this route with the xsrf package, given
  that it wants a userID when generating a new key?

The more tightly bound a token is to a certain action that requires authentication, the more fine-grained control you have. If you can uniquely identify each form in your application then I'd say do it.

A: I've created a CSRF protection package for Go called nosurf. Here's how it handles the areas you mentioned:

*

*Token is created by taking bytes from CS PRNG and encoding them using base64. It is not regenerated for every page load or every form, though there is a user-callable function for regenerating the token.

*It is then stored in a cookie (not a session, as it's a generic middleware not intended for any specific framework only). The cookie lasts one year, but you can easily modify this duration.

*nosurf takes care of cancelling the request and either returning 403 or calling your custom failure handler (if set). You don't have to have if CsrfCheckOk(r) { ... } or anything like that in your code.

*Sadly, it doesn't address token expiring inbetween the page load and the form submission.

So that's it, even though I'm not sure it is the best way to handle CSRF all-around. A package for a specific framework might handle it better in some ways due to tight integration.
