Home /	Letter H /	Hinder
Hinder is an American post-grunge and hard rock band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He was trained in 2001 by Joe Garvey, Austin Winkler, and Cody Hanson. The group is currently based in Barrie, Ontario.
In 2005, following proposals from Roadrunner, Atlantic and Universal Records, Hinder decided to sign at the latter. They then go out Extreme Behavior with the help of Brian Howes. This album will be called "worst album of the year" by AllMusic. Despite that, the band still released their first single, Get Stoned, which was very successful in the United States, and then went on to hit the top of the charts with Lips of an Angel. Hinder then began to interest European productions.
In 2008, Hinder recorded Take it to the Limit, whose first single Use Me was placed in Top 3 US Mainstream Rock Tracks. At the beginning of 2009, the group embarked on Motley Crues' Saints of Los Angeles with Theory of a Deadman and The Last Vegas. In July, Hinder toured Nickelback's Dark Horse Tour with Papa Roach and Saving Abel.
In 2017) released their latest album, The Reign.

Q: UIView viewwithtag method in swift I'm trying to learn some swift.
I programmatically add labels. I want to change their properties later.
the viewwithtag method returns a UIView, how to I access my UILabel from this?
cheers

A: You need to use a typecast. This code will do it:
    if let theLabel = self.view.viewWithTag(123) as? UILabel {
        theLabel.text = "some text"
    }

A: viewWithTag: returns a UIView, you need to typecast it to UILabel.
var yourLabel : UILabel = yourView.viewWithTag(yourTag) as! UILabel;

A: You need to write as
var getMyLabel : UILabel = self.view.viewWithTag(tagValue) as UILabel;

Q: How do I identify this strange white space at the top of my page? I want there to be a distance of 60px between the top of the page and my header where the logo sits. However, there seems to be 16px of white space there already. Because of this I have just added a margin-top of 44px to the header, achieving what I wanted.
But I would much rather identify where the 16px of white space is coming from, not only to learn from it but also to make it neater: if I could just expand the white space instead of adding any margin, that would be ideal.
I don't think the mystery space is margin nor padding... I have no idea what it is.

A: There is a:

Inside your 'wrapper' div, just below the 'content' div.
It's basically a new line, it's 16px tall because of the 16px font size which is the default.
Use your browser's page inspector for things like that.
It is a handy tool for examining your page's structure and looks.

A: in your HTML file Line 68 change the body tag style to this :
body {
    line-height: 0;
    background: url("http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/modernist/style/../images/back_01.png") no-repeat center center fixed;

COMMENTS ON INDIAN COMPANY LAW: Why You have to become an Insolvency Practitioner?
Why You have to become an Insolvency Practitioner?
Insolvency is possibly the most demanding career option a professional can undertake. It is certainly one of the most challenging, involving and rewarding.
Insolvency practitioners can find themselves running businesses, constructing and negotiating deals or investigating and advising on the viability of a business and its restructuring (and, sometimes, the integrity of its directors). The work of the insolvency practitioner affects the lives, prospects and livelihoods of both creditors and debtors. Insolvency work is as much about people as it is about figures. Insolvency practitioners need the skills to deal with creditors, anxious directors, concerned employees and a range of other stakeholders in the business. The insolvency scene is always changing. Even in these cases, often regarded as the 'end of the line' for businesses, imagination and determination are still needed to preserve as much of the business (and its associated jobs) as possible, or as a last resort to get the best possible price for its assets.
Even where a formal insolvency procedure is necessary, in many cases a positive approach to the rescue of businesses and jobs can be taken through the application of administrations, administrative receivership and voluntary arrangements. In the current environment, with personal debt at record levels, it is vitally important individuals get the correct advice about the options open to them to resolve their difficulties. As licensed insolvency practitioners are trained in all aspects of the law and procedure, they are best placed to provide that advice and only they can act as supervisors of individual voluntary arrangements or as trustees in bankruptcies. The profession will be able to rescue increasing numbers of jobs and businesses in recent years, both because of legislative changes and the changing attitudes of creditors. Overall, some 20 per cent of insolvent businesses are rescued in part or as a whole and one in every six insolvent individuals enters a voluntary arrangement as an alternative to bankruptcy.
Just like a person requires treatment to treat his disease, a sick company also requires some form of treatment to overcome its problem of debts. This treatment may be in the form of restructuring of a company. Restructuring is the corporate management term for the act of reorganizing the legal, ownership, operational, or other structures of a company for the purpose of making it more profitable, or better organized for its present needs. Alternate reasons for restructuring include a change of ownership or ownership structure, de-merger, or a response to a crisis or major change in the business such as bankruptcy, re positioning, or buyout. Restructuring may also be described as corporate restructuring, debt restructuring and financial restructuring. There are a broad range of opportunities that arise from corporate insolvency and financial restructurings.
1. Spotting and evaluating distressed companies for restructuring and rescue planning.
2. Reviewing the various risks involved in restructuring.
3. Developing risk mitigation strategies.
4. Working out a detailed bankable financial structure of the business.
5. Working out a detailed plan for restructuring the business from all angles.
6. Assessment of distressed assets, cash position, due diligence and turnaround feasibility.
7. Advice on optimum utilization of resources.
9. Representation and registration of sick companies with BIFR.
10. Representation before the Debt Recovery Tribunals.
13. Advisory in relation to a merger or acquisition or takeover.
14. Advisory services to management on an ongoing basis.
What is the role of insolvency professional?
He/She takes up matters relating to insolvency of individuals, partnerships and liquidation of companies.
He advises and monitors his clients in matters related to insolvency, bankruptcy and liquidation.
How many insolvency professionals does India need?
Though there isn't any clear number, the IPA's estimates that more than a lac cases relating to insolvency, bankruptcy and liquidation are pending and from now only insolvency professionals can handle these cases.
Less than 100 insolvency professionals have been enrolled till now. Enrollment of insolvency professionals has been started from December 1.
The New Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 stipulates the maximum time to be taken to liquidate a company to 180 days with an one time extension of 90 days, while earlier it used to take at least four years for the same. With the new law, arises the new opportunities for youth in the form of insolvency professionals. To cater to the huge insolvency and liquidation market and produce insolvency professionals, The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) & The Institute of Cost Accountant of India (ICWAI) has been given recognition as an Insolvency Professionals Agency.
Data from World Bank show that the number of years taken to resolve insolvency in major economies such as the US, the UK and China are 1.5, 1 and 1.7 years, respectively, in 2016. For India, the same is 4.3 years. According to officials, the bankruptcy code is a complete departure from the earlier Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985, where there were delays in resolution of cases. "When decisions are taken in a time-bound manner, there is a greater chance that a corporate entity can be saved as a going concern and productive resources of the economy (labour and capital) can be put to best use," a finance ministry statement said.
What qualifications do you need to practice as insolvency professional?
a. has passed the National Insolvency Examination.
b. has passed the Limited Insolvency Examination, and has fifteen years of experience in management, after he received a Bachelor's degree from a university established or recognized by law.
(i) a chartered accountant enrolled as a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
(ii) a company secretary enrolled as a member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India.
h. No workbook or study material will be provided.
c. The enrolment for examination will be open from 15th December, 2016.
f. A candidate needs to pay examination fee of Rs.1000 (Rupees one thousand only) online on every enrollment.

Wale Admits He's 'Flawed' In His Stylish New Video With Gunna
Aaron WilliamsHip-Hop EditorTwitter
Wale is back with another confessional, emotive anthem to play when you're alone in your room at 3 AM after a few too many drinks. In "Flawed," he admits that "everybody flawed, I could never need you," but that he wishes the object of his affection well despite breaking things off. "I could never hate you," he sighs, "You cool with everybody, guess I'm everybody too." Meanwhile, guest rapper Gunna praises the loyalty of a potential paramour but says "I couldn't see me house wifin' you." "Flawed" also marks the two dreadlocked rappers' first collaboration, arriving with a stylish, black and white video that shows off their shared gift for dressing up.
While Wale is a year removed from his last album, 2019's mature Wow… That's Crazy, he's kept himself visible throughout the year, mainly through a string of collabs with longtime friends like Big Sean and IDK. He also released an EP, The Imperfect Storm, and continued to support Wow… with the statement video for "Sue Me" after cutting his tour for the album short.
On the other hand, Gunna has been dropping video after video for his own album, Wunna, highlighted by "Blindfold" with Lil Baby and "Dollaz On My Head" with Young Thug. Meanwhile, his list of feature verses includes the intensely viral "Lemonade" by Internet Money, "Fox 5" with fellow YSL rapper Lil Keed, and "Blind" from DaBaby's deluxe version of Blame It On Baby
Watch the "Flawed" video above.
Wale and Gunna are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Experts call for governments to support low cost housing
Published October 12th, 2009 - 03:34 GMT
رAddressing the topic of whether the Middle East presented a best case scenario globally for investment in real estate, conference delegates at Cityscape Dubai stressed continued government infrastructure development as a key factor in confidence in and recovery of the sector.
Managing director of CBRE Middle East, Nicholas Maclean, said that while they had looked at low-cost housing projects, it was difficult to make the numbers work: "This has to be kick-started with government assistance since it could have a beneficial impact on the region as a whole," he said.
Citing the example in Jordan, where the government has put in place a series of measures to germinate low-cost housing schemes, ceo of the Aqaba Development Corporation HE Eng Imad Fakhoury said reverse engineering was called for to determine what sort of costings the markets would bear.
"To make this work, first you have to analyse incomes, cost out the affordability of mortgage payments, and then come up with your costings," he said. "The government has provided land almost free of charge, extended credit and worked to bridge the interest rate challenge – as well as supporting private developments by buying in to these schemes to provide accommodation for government employees."
Equities and asset management specialist, Mohammed Al-Ali from Kuwati's Alaman group said while it was easy to quantify the vast requirement for low-cost housing, the supply was not keeping pace with this demand, and government schemes could not deliver at an economic cost.
"If the land is not provide free, it is just not viable," he said, emphasising development of the sector should be treated as a quasi-social service, introducing methods such as BOT (build, operate, transfer) in new private/public partnerships.
"The demand for low-cost housing in the UAE is undeniable - it will undoubtedly involve some form of PPP. The UAE has a strong track record with these sort of initiatives, said Chris Speller, Group Director, Cityscape Dubai.
Real estate marketer, Michael Shvo, raised another potential solution with the example of countries such as the UK and the US, where private developers were often mandated by governments to include a percentage of low-cost housing in any new scheme.

More Young Adults Developing Heart Disease
An alarming trend in heart disease has taken hold among younger adults. The incidence of heart attacks in people under age 40 is on the rise.
University Hospitals cardiologist Raju Modi, MD, says cardiovascular disease – disorders of the heart and blood vessels – typically show up in people in their 50s and 60s. But rising rates of obesity, diabetes and related health problems have put many people younger at risk.
"The heart disease trend that we're seeing over the last two decades is in the very young, defined as people who are under the age of 40," Dr. Modi says. "From 2006 to 2016, we've seen about a 2 percent per year increase in very young people with heart attacks."
Understanding Risk Factors
Many risks associated with cardiovascular disease are controllable: Blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, obesity and smoking.
Type 2 diabetes is an important factor in the rise in heart attacks among younger adults. A 2019 study found one in five patients under age 50 who suffered a heart attack also had diabetes.
"All of these medical conditions, whether together or individually, contribute to increases inflammation in atherosclerosis, which is the plaque that causes hardening of the arteries," Dr. Modi says.
"Atherosclerosis, which starts developing early in life, progressively gets worse. When you have these risks factors, the inflammation in that plaque tends to progress much more rapidly."
Inflammation heightens risk of plaque rupturing, leading to a blood clot in the coronary artery that causes a heart attack.
The goal of prevention is to reduce inflammation. That can be achieved through diet, exercise, not smoking, reducing cholesterol and blood pressure, and aggressively treating diabetes.
"The aim of every one of these treatments is to reduce the inflammation that's happening in the plaque and thereby, hopefully reduce the progression of that plaque," he says.
Tips For a Healthy Heart
Focus on things you can control: Medications and lifestyle choices.
Get at least 30 minutes of continuous aerobic activity five days a week. It doesn't have to be intense exercise. Walking is fine.
Shift toward a plant-based diet by including more fruits and vegetables in your meals or snacks. Diet has a major impact on the progression of heart disease.
"I don't expect somebody to be 100 percent vegan," Dr. Modi says. "But as close to that target as you can get, the healthier you're going to be."
University Hospitals Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute is dedicated to providing the highest quality care for all patients. Our team is uniquely skilled in advanced minimally invasive and surgical techniques, with remarkable patient outcomes. Learn more.

Large 3 story 6 bed 4 bath side by side duplex. Each unit has 3 beds and 2 baths and a single car garage. They have their own laundry and own meters. They are rented to long term tenants and are under market rents approx $1050 & $1125/month plus utilities. Great opportunity for an investor to purchase and move into and renovate. There are 3 new duplexes being built next door to this one as the parent parcel is in the process of subdividing those lots off of which 2 are sold to builders and the last one at 8619 sq ft is available for purchase at $289900 plus GST. This duplex will have a lot area of 12701.41 Sq ft once the subdivision is completed which is estimated shortly. There is a brand new paved access road built to the duplex with some nice rock retaining walls. The duplex backs onto a rock bluff and each unit has a back deck that is built into the rock bluff. Great opportunity for someone looking for a project to build some sweat equity.

Perceptions of the enemy

Cindy Sherman, Untitled (1990)
I have reformatted this blog and added material: see https://clarespark.com/2009/12/16/perceptions-of-the-enemy-the-left-looks-at-the-right-and-vice-versa/. Ignore this version.
Some mistaken identities. I don't think that some "Right-wing" partisans understand Leftists, often conflating revolutionary socialists, anarchists, and [anticommunist] social democrats. And yet media pundits constantly refer to "the Left" as if it still existed in its historic 19th and 20th century red-hot formulations and in the same numbers. What is lost is the memory of moderate conservatives or conservative reformers like FDR (descendants of New Dealers, now called "the Left") and their practices of lopping off those who were to their left, that is, the structural reformers, unless there was a "Popular Front" against looming internal and external fascism, as did exist from 1935 until the Hitler-Stalin Pact in 1939. At what point did these "moderate conservatives" as they called themselves metamorphose into "the Left" as sole defenders of the little guy? I am guessing around 1919. More on that another time, or see chapter two of my book on the Melville revival.
From long experience with leftists and the entire socialist-communist-social democratic traditions, however, despite their sharp differences in goals and tactics, I can generalize about them as follows: All factions of "the Left" believe themselves to be the true bearers of morality and that conservatives are heartless fascist* murderers. By contrast, as progressives they see themselves as sacrificing their own personalities, economic interests, and happiness for "the public good" or "suffering humanity"; to be one of them, you must "stand with the oppressed," even if that means helping Hamas. In other words, they seek to uplift those whom "the Right" (e.g. Israel) knowingly and viciously victimizes. And unless they follow Kant and Rosa Luxemberg, they may accomplish this grand goal "by any means necessary." (e.g. see Trey Ellis in HuffPo, 12-16: "The Obama administration needs to course-correct immediately. He needs to make a series of bold, muscular, ruthlessly political moves immediately (reconciliation anyone?) to put the fear of god into all those puny adversaries out there that have been pushing him around with impunity.") So they are the true humanitarians in their own eyes and the antitheses of the "fascists" they valiantly oppose.
Also, do not minimize both continuities and ruptures between the factions of what is loosely called "the Left." Anyone who has studied or had contact with revolutionary socialists knows about their history of sectarianism. It makes Protestantism look demure and pure. They have killed or sacrificed each other without hesitation: just look at what the Stalinists did to Trotskyists and Anarchists during the Spanish Civil War, or the notorious Stalin purges of his former comrades, not to speak of other communists with Jewish backgrounds, a process that ceased only with his death in 1953. But mixing them in with social democrats is absurd, for the motley Marxist-Leninists inhabit mostly such outposts as Pacifica Radio, a few journals, and increasingly-criticized departments of comparative literature and other humanities.
But most crucially, "right-wing social democrats" (as some Leftists call them, distinguishing them from the Second International left-wing social democrats favoring incremental reforms) have an entirely different lineage from the Marxist-Leninists. As I have shown in other blogs, European aristocrats, following Bismarck and before that, reformers in Great Britain, "christianized" the new ["jewified"] industrial society with social insurance that we now call the welfare state. (See my blog The Enigmatic Face of Philosemitism https://clarespark.com/2009/10/29/the-enigmatic-face-of-philosemitism/.)
As for those artists who once were reds in the 1930s, many of them shifted to populism/progressivism when they saw that the Communist Party wanted to control their work. Budd Schulberg and Elia Kazan are two examples. I was particularly disturbed by their film, A Face in the Crowd (1957), that pinned fascism on the media-worshipping mass audience that had elevated the loutish "Lonesome Rhodes," whose meteoric career had been aided and abetted by a female sentimental liberal–a stand-in for the moral mother, perhaps the figure who had driven them into the arms of the 1930s authoritarian Left. In other words, though Schulberg and Kazan professed themselves to be progressives, they replicated the aristocratic explanation for fascism as "the revolt of the masses," bamboozled by the new mass media (radio and television), and shadowed by anti-progressive old money, particularly as embodied in immoral and hidebound Southern politicians.
Here are some quotes from the screenplay: Lonesome Rhodes (the demagogue who has risen from the People): "You made me, Marcia. You made me, Marcia, I owe it all to you." [Marcia, the arty, sentimental Liberal]:"I know it." Marcia, explicitly linked to "marshes" (i.e., quagmires) and ever the guilty mother, finally aware of the duplicity of her monstrous birth, opens the microphone to expose Lonesome's secret contempt for the TV audience (the common folk) who adore him and who would turn the State over to his fascist backers. [Lonesome Rhodes is ruined:] "It was the sound man. I'll get that dirty stinking little mechanical genius [who did this to me]." [Marcia:] "It was me." The Muckraker's last words rectify the sentiment of Lonesome's banner ("There's nothing so trustworthy as the ordinary mind of the ordinary man.") [Muckraking journalist to Marcia:] "You were taken in. But we get wise to him [the Lonesome/Hitler type]; that's our strength." Mama's boy, a.k.a. Lonesome's last words wailed from a balcony (and the night) as Marcia and muckraker depart: "Marcia, don't leave me…come back." That Marcia destroyed her monstrous birth is missing from Nicholas Beck's "bio-bibliography" of Schulberg, where Lonesome is supposed to be the agent of his own destruction (p.59, fn4, quoting Donald Chase).
Stand-ins for the controlling parent? Conservatives must read their antagonists without caricatures and without mistaking their objectives. Revolutionary socialists and social democrats are not simply "elitists" who think they know what is best for others (though many think that "the Right" is not only monolithic, but selfish, square, dumb, and fanatical, unlike, say, those who run National Public Radio, while many on the Right return the favor, lumping all leftists and social democrats together as elitist conspirators/fascists). It is more complicated than that, though reds and "liberals" do favor various degrees of statism to rectify social inequities and achieve what all call "social justice." In the end, we could make the public discourse on politics more rational by specifying competing theories of the good society:
Libertarians find wealth creation through free markets a good thing and, in the case of the better educated, believe that the state should protect this process through sound monetary policy. The social democratic Left (a.k.a. the moderate men) sees the state as planning rationally to compensate for what they believe to be a weak and unstable system: capitalism. Nothing is so scary as great gaps between rich and poor, for that portends another bloody French Revolution. If that means that everyone is relatively poor in the quasi-socialist utopia, such asceticism is better than the suffering of the victims du jour while the ever libertine rich feast and thoughtlessly indulge their animal appetites for glitter and other luxuries, hence "bourgeoisifying," i.e., corrupting, the tastes and desires of the working-class. And some conservatives, angry combatants in the culture wars, even as they invoke the Constitution as written by the Founding Fathers, seek to impose their own morality on those who don't share the same "values," (e.g. pro-life, anti-gay marriage, opposition to stem-cell research using frozen embryos, creationism or intelligent design, the superiority of a rural way of life), thus nullifying the separation of Church and State that has served us so well. But I caution my readers who remain somewhere on "the Left" that conservatives are not evil or demented when they find such developments as the hyper-sexualization of women and children to be dangerous and destructive, or wonder, as I do, how it happened that sadomasochism became acceptable, even fashionable. And remember that Lord Maynard Keynes thought that his measures to relieve a depression were not to be permanently institutionalized.
POPULISM. According to Rasmussen Reports, 55% of the American public is populist, i.e., they believe that government and big business are in cahoots, which makes sense if you understand that small business and big business are in conflict. Interestingly given our generally anticommunist polity, this is the analysis of the Marxist-Leninist Left: the state is an executive committee of the big bourgeoisie (as opposed to the state being an independent institution with its own interests, see sociologist Michael Mann's books). Populism is a subject I have written about extensively on this website. It claims to speak for "the people" against "the special interests" or "Wall Street" or "the military-industrial complex" or some other dread agglomeration such as "the Jews" or "white males."As such, it speaks to class resentments and is irrational. Whether of the Left or of the Right, populism is not good for analyzing concrete institutions and their policies. Moreover, as indicated above, it does not distinguish between fractions of those who make decisions for the rest of us, each of which has different and possibly clashing interests with others in the so-called "ruling class." Populists are incapable of writing accurate histories, but seem content to follow their leaders. And their leaders, insofar as they resort to demagoguery, don't really care about the folks.
*Contending defintions of "fascism." By "fascists" the social democratic 'left' means a society practicing "laissez-faire" economics, militarism, hypernationalism ("national chauvinism"), the manipulation of public opinion through heavy-handed propaganda, and imperialism/racism. This absolves social democracy of continuities or comparisons with statist fascism and Nazism, not to speak of their zealousness in attacking "rugged individualism," the American unpardonable sin that is imagined to persist beyond the pioneer period. By contrast, revolutionary socialists generally refer to the rule of finance capital or monopoly capital or "late capitalism" when they write of fascism and Nazism. Social democrats, true to their Platonic Guardian-philosopher-king heritage, tend to see fascism as the revolt of the masses, as noted above. Much psychiatry/psychoanalysis seeks to manage these "id-forces" and may be more powerful than we think in influencing the medical culture of postwar America. For more on the practice of psychoanalysis at a distance, see https://clarespark.com/2009/12/13/klara-hitlers-son-and-jewish-blood/. The importance of the father as leader and as commander of a tight militarized family unit with high morale cannot be overemphasized, a point forcefully made in the last section of the blog just cited, where I analyze the politics of The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit.
Clare,
Thank you for your analysis of the various factions of Leftism. I am no longer among their ranks, but I remember how frustrating it was to be labeled as a this or a that by people who didn't trouble to make distinctions or care about subtleties . (I have since come to realize that refusing to make distinctions is a tactic to squelch debate on ideas. If the John Birch Society is a conservative movement, then all conservatives are like the John Birch Society. Characterizing a movement (falsely) as monolithic and extreme simplifies the repulsion and vilification of ideas.)
Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity do a disservice to their audience to suggest that the Left is uniformly statist on all issues. As a patriotic socialist (aka a right-wing social democrat), I could be convinced of the inconsistency of my positions — if someone had taken the time to explain the primary principles and their rational consequences. I think Ayn Rand did that for me.

Some caveats: You're on very sound ground discussing populism. Libertarianism I don't take seriously; its anarchism for the rich. I'm Left but I don't take a simplistic view of 'fascism.' I've read too much Walter Laqueur. The only functioning fascism today is the clerical fascism we don't dare call 'Islamofascism' any more. European fascism is kaput because it was based on a national capitalism which can't exist anymore. The game today is transnational capitalism which maybe benefits 20% of US population. Anyway, it's all depressing. In practice I suppose I'm a WWII popular frontist this time allied with Israel & Zionism against the Third Wave of Islam. See my most recent blog in praise of Oriana Fallaci.

One factor you don't touch on, Clare–I understand this was not intended as a comprehensive post–is vital to understanding ideological leftists. I specifically include center-liberal types, although they are an endangered species.
In a way that is not generally true about conservative ideologues, politics is used and positions adopted as much as a form of sociodrama as anything else. One assumes a political position and from that an overall political stance in part as a means of moral exhibitionism, of displaying one's virtue and moral superiority. This is why, for example, "compassion" is often put forth as a motivation for a policy while the proponent is indifferent to actual or likely results. The point is to see oneself as a decent, generous, compassionate person.
This is part of the reason for the liberal fixation on affirmative action. I recall a Jewish coalition in Michigan in 2006 to defeat a state constitutional proposal that would have established non-discrimination as a part of Michigan's basic law. I saw a number of quite well-off people congratulating themselves on giving away rights, such as access to the University of Michigan, that didn't belong to them in the first place.
I have anecdotal proof of this, Clare, and I'm serious. You see those cars whose rears are plastered with a dozen or more bumper stickers. The point is not to promote a candidate or a cause; no one is actually going to read more than one or two, and I speak as someone who still has a "Save Tiger Stadium" sticker on his rear bumper.
A dozen or more? These are not affixed to promote anything. They're there to blare that the driver of the war is not only decent, generous, compassionate, and morally enlightened, but to show membership in the tribe of the righteous. That's also the purpose of the Semi-Obligatory Palin Swipe, succeeding the Semi-Obligatory Bush Swipe, which I frequently saw in, say, sports section articles that had nothing to do with politics.
And this is why it's hard to get such people to take a fresh look at anything, much less change their minds. You're not dealing with politics, which can be discussed and opinions can be changed; you're dealing with a person's basic sense of himself and his self-worth.
This is why, as someone said, generally conservatives think that their opponents are wrong and leftists think that their opponents and evil or stupid or both.

I spent a long time in wondering whether or not David Armstrong, the author of A Trumpet to Arms… (1981) was a liberal Democrat or a Red, and then I realized that it was my problem, for I have some difficulties with my conservative FB friends (around issues of feminism, etc.). This blog is about Armstrong's book on the emergence of the counter-culture and alternative media, begun in the 1960s in the Berkeley Free Speech movement, and then the US involvement in Vietnam, but culminating in ecology (including nuclear power), multiculturalism (as contrasted to "imperialism"), anti-racism, New Age mysticism, anti-Puritanism, "subjectivity," drug culture, the vogue for electric cars, high rises, "balance," localism in the style of Woodrow Wilson, excessive wealth, feminism, gay liberation, and the preference for "Love" over "hate." All these were issues with which I grasped during my short stint as Program Director for the Los Angeles Pacifica radio station, KPFK-FM. (I wondered then too, whether it was a social democratic vs. Marxist outfit. I found the same conflict during graduate work at UCLA). It is same fight for anti-capitalism vs. laissez-faire market forces that I have devoted much of this website to, whatever the topic.

A $1.1 million gift to George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government will pay for research on demographic changes, immigration and labor issues, the university announced Thursday.
The money, a five-year grant from the Charles Koch Foundation, will underwrite work at the Center for the Study of Social Change, Institutions and Policy at George Mason, a public university in Northern Virginia. At least five new PhD fellows are expected to be involved in the research, and the funding will also cover an annual workshop, according to a news release.
George Mason, which earlier this month announced a $50 million gift to its law school, has recently sought to address concerns about philanthropy at the institution, and whether some funding came with constraints on academic freedom. That debate involved Koch — the billionaire backer of conservative political causes and major donor in higher education — and his foundation's ties to George Mason.
Last May, George Mason President Ángel Cabrera acknowledged some gift arrangements did not meet academic independence standards, a disclosure that was followed by a review of donor agreements. A panel that presided over that review did not find any "egregious practices" in the pacts, a report later indicated.
Goldstone dismissed possible concerns about the latest funding, saying it appeared the same level of flexibility and support he has had with previous financial arrangements will apply to the Koch gift.
At George Mason, what's next after review of gifts?

Cost savings a 'fuel for growth' at McCormick
McCormick's net income in the second quarter was up 11 percent from the same time last year.
SPARKS, MD. — A cost-savings strategy has McCormick & Co. reporting increases in net income, which in turn has the company investing more in brand marketing and considering future acquisitions.
The company posted net income of $93.8 million, equal to 74 cents per share on the common stock, in the second quarter ended May 31, which was up 11 percent from $84.3 million, or 66 cents per share, in the previous year's second quarter. Sales grew 4 percent to $1,063.3 million from $1,024.1 million.
McCormick has a four-year goal of achieving $400 million in cost savings by 2019. The company expects cost savings of $100 million to $110 million this fiscal year.
Lawrence Kurzius, president and CEO of McCormick
"This is our fuel for growth as demonstrated by our second-quarter investment in brand marketing, which we increased 16 percent, or $10 million, from the year-ago period," said Lawrence Kurzius, president and CEO, in a June 30 earnings call. "As a further investment, we funded $5 million of increased incremental spending in the second quarter in support of our acquisition activity, a key element of our growth strategy."
He said about half the increase in brand marketing came in the United States.
"This included marketing support for our Pure Tastes Better campaign, the launch of our herb grinders, Hispanic advertising and digital marketing for Grill Mates as we headed into Memorial Day and peak grilling seasoning," Kurzius said.
Acquisitions added 3 percent to the second-quarter sales increase, which included the incremental impact of Drogheria & Alimentari and One World Foods Inc. (the producer of Stubb's barbecue sauces), both purchased in 2015, and Gourmet Garden, purchased in 2016.
McCormick's acquisitions of One World Foods, Drogheria & Alimentari and Gourmet Garden added 3 percent to the second-quarter sales increase.
"Going forward, we have a robust pipeline of acquisition opportunities," Kurzius said.
During the call, Kurzius was asked if McCormick remained on target to label 70 percent of McCormick brand spices herbs and extracts as non-GMO by the end of the year and to have 80 percent of its McCormick gourmet brand sales come from organic items by the end of the year.
"First of all, on the conversion of our gourmet to organic, that is continuing on pace," Kurzius said. "We set a goal of having 80 percent of our gourmet sales organic by the end of the year. We still expect to achieve that.
"I will say the conversion of organic has been more challenging for us than perhaps we anticipated. The supply chain and the kind of quality controls that we insist on in terms of product supply has been harder for us to develop. It's just a less mature supply chain out there, and we've gotten such a lift from the conversion to organic that the volume has been higher than we initially anticipated, which has slowed the transition just because it's that much more pressure on an immature supply chain."
McCormick is on target to label 70 percent of its spices, herbs and extracts as non-GMO by the end of the year.
He said the non-GMO conversion is running ahead of pace.
"For the non-GMO conversion, that really was more about us calling out what we already do," Kurzius said.
For the six months ended May 31, McCormick had net income of $187.2 million, or $1.47 per share, which was up 21 percent from $154.8 million, or $1.21 per share, in the same time period of the previous year. Six-month sales rose 3 percent to $2,093.5 million from $2,034.5 million.
McCormick adjusted its projected 2016 earnings per share to a range of $3.63 to $3.70, which reflected an increase in estimated special charges. The previous projection was $3.65 to $3.72. Sales are expected to grow 1 percent to 3 percent for the full fiscal year.

At Mission Central we like to share observations from mission workers on what they've learned during their time serving others.
Ellen Livingood and Joe Stewart discuss their experiences with orphan care.
"Our church sends youth to love on kids at an orphanage each summer.
Does this statement describe your church's connection to an orphanage somewhere around the world? Often orphanage ministry is one of a church's most-popular global missions efforts because there is such an emotional attachment to needy children. Yet disturbing facts about the orphanage model, especially the impact of Western short-term ministries in Majority World orphanages, are causing many churches to rethink their strategy for orphan ministry abroad.
The orphanage model was abandoned decades ago in almost every Western society, yet orphanages have continued to house vulnerable children in other parts in the world. However, in the past few years a number of orphanage ministries around the globe, as well as some supporting churches in the West, have changed course as they recognized the following realities.
Most so-called orphans still have at least one living parent or other family members who are willing to care for them.
Poverty is a primary reason that children are placed in orphanages.
Strengthening families and addressing children's basic needs could enable many to remain in family care.
Families provide the best environment for a child's development.
Children living in orphanages are at greater risk for long-term negative impacts on their social, emotional, and cognitive development.
Good practice dictates having a full range of care options available for children in need, with emphasis on care within families.
All vulnerable children need to be protected from abuse, neglect, and deprivation of basic needs, whether they live in an orphanage or a traditional home.
Ensuring that all children are well cared for, ideally within a family, requires the involvement and collaboration of multiple entities.
If your church is deeply involved with an orphanage ministry, those facts may be unsettling. Making a major strategy transition is not easy, but Western church leaders can't ignore their responsibility to engage best practices.
Liberty Christian Fellowship had partnered with an orphanage in Haiti for nine years. An enthusiastic team of church members organized ministry trips and were passionate about supporting the orphanage. Yet others who went to serve there came back disillusioned about the ministry; an honest report from one team made it clear that drastic change was needed.
Soon after I came on as missions pastor two years ago, I spent a week observing this ministry first hand. Among other things, I learned that a fair number of the children were not orphans but came from families who said they had no resources to care for them. Others were street children placed in the orphanage by the government.
I came home aware that something had to change, yet I knew that I needed to build some consensus. Kids are a trump card. When you are dealing with orphans, people's hearts are very tied to them, and they find it hard to be objective.
To move forward with consensus, we decided to involve the church's overall leadership team, the missions leadership team, and the leaders of our Haiti missions team—16 people in all—in the review process. Creating this inclusive task force would increase the transparency of our process. Discussions included orphan care in general and specifically our partner orphanage. There were a lot of opinions.
We soon recognized that we needed objective input, so I initiated discussions with six organizations that were specialists in orphan care. Some promoted only family reunification. Some also did orphanage ministry. Some were Christian organizations; some were not. I quickly learned a lot. In addition, we collected research about the psychological issues related to children in orphanage care. All of this input was carefully collated and disseminated to the entire group of 16.
Based on what we learned, Lead Pastor Tim Fritson and I developed a long list of improvements that would be needed to make the orphanage meet government standards and provide minimum quality care for the children and staff. The list was daunting.
Two things became obvious: (1) We couldn't fund or implement from the U.S. all of the changes that were vital to meet the standards we had become convinced were essential, and (2) we needed to have a face-to-face discussion with the Haitian leader of the ministries. We were ready to help fund a family reintegration program that would cost far less and be better for the children in the long run.
Tim and I flew to New York City (where the Haitian leader now resides) and sat down with this brother, a godly man whom we believe desires to see the ministries under his leadership flourish. He seemed genuinely interested in our research.
However, he was unwilling to consider another model. We sadly realized that we could not continue our partnership, but we did commit to continue support through the end of the current year so as to not create an immediate crisis for the organization.
Back at our church, we had some difficult meetings with our task force. We talked. We had prayer meetings asking God for unity. But it became clear that several people were not willing to dissolve our partnership, no matter what.
In the end, our church leadership team made the final decision to withdraw from the partnership. We met with the task force and with the entire Haiti ministry team to inform them of the decision and answer questions. Subsequently an email informed the congregation that the partnership had been dissolved, and a follow-up meeting was scheduled to provide additional information to any who were interested.
We are using this transition to continue to realign all of our missions endeavors with our priority to focus on indigenous church planting in unreached people groups. We are also committed to being advocates for family reunification. In the future, some of our Global Impact Teams may engage in a project related to vulnerable children and their families. It's been an arduous and at times painful seven months of working our way through this issue, but I believe we are leading in the right direction.
Supporting churches have great potential to impact ministries to transition toward better practices. It is challenging to ask tough questions of a partner you are trying to empower. However, we have found that global partners are often excited when a church supports them in trying new things to improve their care for children.
Liberty's story highlights the challenges of walking a church through the process of moving away from a dearly loved ministry when it is clear that the model fails the very children it is designed to rescue. Other pastors and church missions leaders have admitted that they need to wrestle with this issue but know that it will be difficult. Perhaps you are one of them. Fortunately, helpful resources are available. Faith to Action Initiative is a coalition of ministries which has come together to provide guidance and resources on best practices to both global orphan ministries as well as local churches that want to serve vulnerable children. Their website provides an array of materials for those who want to implement healthy family reunification.
If you are a church leader just beginning to research this area, the amount of information may be daunting. Here are some suggested steps.
1 Begin with leader learning. Familiarize yourself with the issues surrounding best practices for orphans and vulnerable children by going through the "Learn" section of the Faith to Action website. Walk your missions leadership team through the infographic and then suggest they read through the Children, Orphanages & Families booklet. If you want to delve deeper, there are lots of articles and research data on this site.
2 Study together. Bring together a small group of interested persons to prayerfully and carefully work through the Journeys of Faith study together. We suggest that you include one or more people with a social work degree and experience working with vulnerable children in your own context. As you study together, ask God to give you a conviction as to the best practices for helping orphans, regardless of where they are.
3 Dialog with your global partners involved in orphan care. Discuss what you are learning with your global partners heading up orphanage ministry or otherwise involved in caring for vulnerable children. Share with them pertinent information and ask them to share with you their philosophy. Many Majority World leaders are not familiar with models other than the institutional orphanage.
4 Visit a new model. Plan a survey trip to visit a family reunification ministry that has a history of success.
5 Consider best practices for short-term ministry to orphans. The Short-Term Missions booklet provides extensive background information and suggestions. If your church's short-term ministry to orphans has engaged in service that may be causing harm, sit down with your short-term teams leader or others who have been involved, and talk about the potential dangers and alternatives. Be prepared for initial resistance, but give them an opportunity to consider the advantages of a different approach. Listen to their hearts as well as their words!
6 Take other church leaders on the learning journey. If you church needs to make a major shift in orphan ministry, it would be wise to educate your whole pastoral staff and other church leaders in the basic issues and why you think a transition is essential. Discuss with them how you can walk your congregation through this transition.
7 Invite orphan sponsors in your church into the learning process. If you are shifting away from orphanage support and have church families who have been supporting an orphan in that context, you will need to help them understand the shift. Develop concrete ways that they can continue to be engaged with children in healthy reintegration ministry. Begin educating your congregation about how implementing best practices can serve many more children than an orphanage model.
8 If your church wants to begin ministry to vulnerable children, select your global partner carefully. "Finding a Child-Safe Partner: A Check List for Churches" provides guidelines.

Announcement: Facebook Updates Privacy Controls
On Wednesday, March 18th, Facebook will be introducing privacy updates that give users more control over the information they choose to share on Facebook. The two main updates taking place are a standardized privacy interface across the site and new privacy options.
Some of the new features being added include a "Friends of Friends" privacy option that allows people to share information with people they are connected to through their friends. Users will also now have the ability to share and restrict information based on specific friends or friend lists. The friend lists feature was added to Facebook in December as a way to help users communicate with groups of friends. Now, in addition to messaging and event and group invitations, friend lists can help users to communicate by choosing what information is shared with certain groups of people.

In the days after last month's earthquake in Mexico, over 1,000 cyclists linked up to deliver medical equipment, tarpaulins and food around Mexico City. The city's unofficial 'bicycle mayor' now wants to double the number of daily bike trips to 280,000 by 2019 to combat what is thought to be the world's worst congestion. "At the city's worst moment, we were there and able to provide mobility when nothing else – not even emergency vehicles – was moving around," explained Carreón.
...and not just front doors in the case of Rory Turner, a former fashion director at the International Fashion Institute - who has took a job at Deliveroo to train for a Land's End to John O'Groats (LEJOG) ride. "Because I've retired, Deliveroo is a good way to train as it means I'm covering around 25 to 50 miles a day. I'm living from my pension too so it's nice to have a little bit more money coming in that can go towards the accommodation when I'm cycling, because no money raised will be going towards that", Turner said.
So he may just be trying to promote his race, but Giro D'Italia director Mauro Vegni has challenged Chris Froome to ride next year's 101st edition of the race to launch an attempt to make history by becoming the first rider to win all three of cycling's Grand Tours in the same season. "He has to have the desire to try and become the first rider to achieve this feat," Vegni said. "It would be historical." Historical indeed, but possible? That's another matter.
You weren't thrilled by the plans of Catholic Church of Our Lady of Grace & St Edward worshippers, who said they would pray to prevent the creation of TFL's Cycle Superhighway 9 that they said would disrupt congregations. Details revealed this would be highly unlikely, and in any case, wouldn't they be better devoting their energy towards praying against polutive vehicles whipping past the church?
The son of Raimondas Rumsas, who finished third in the 2002 Tour de France, tested positive for growth hormone. Raimondas Rumsas Junior's test results come after his younger brother Linas died in May. In response to his death, police launched a doping-related investigation into five people, including Raimondas Senior.
A cyclist filmed cycling along the M25 was shepherded along by a concerned motorist and then offered a lift... with the driver learning that the cyclist had been guided onto the motorway by his sat-nav! "We put the bike in the boot, he got in and off we went. We were talking in the car and I just remember being in shock.
The macaw that would often ride alongside the late Italian cyclist on his training rides was photographed on the head of Scarponi's friend Luis Angel Maté. Maté's red Cofidis kit may be less of a match for Frankie's plumage as Scarponi's Astana jersey was, but her fans will be happy to see her out and about enjoying a ride again.
FDJ rider Sebastien Riechenbach has lodged formal complaints with Italian police and with world cycling's governing body, the UCI, against Gianni Moscon, whom he claims pushed him off his bike on purpose during yesterday's Tre Valle Varesine race in Italy. The Swiss rider, who had been scheduled to ride Il Lombardia on Sunday, sustained a broken elbow, with the injury bringing his season to a premature end. Is the Sky rider too toxic to justify his place in the team after his latest mishap?


keeping of the feasts, etc.
i am having trouble reconciling this in my mind.
What we have to keep in mind is Pa'al's (Paul's) contextual explanation in Romans. The whole premise is that "you cannot be justiflied by the Torah (Law). He does not say that the Torah (Law) is obselete or done away with.
The crux of all your questions is: keeping the feasts, guarding the Sabbath and guarding or keeping the Torah (Law) are our obedience to our Heavenly Father. These are not to be done for salvation, but because we already have salvation by his grace. We do them because we love him and want to obey his word. We are saved apart from the works of the Torah. By grace through belief (faith) just as Abraham was saved the same way. Walking in Torah is doing his will in our lives.


There are things I do which I simply can not help.
Discipline other people's children being one of many.
Perhaps it was all the years I have collectively felt responsible for other people's children. Perhaps it is some intrinsic bossy gene which can not be helped. Perhaps I can not take off the teacher persona that has ingrained itself into my consciousness. The bottom line is that if I see a child doing something that I - and they - know they shouldn't be doing, I am going to say something.
Last week, Emily had to go to the clinic for her physical. She was tired and cranky as it was a 4 p.m. appointment and she was already hot and tired from being at school. Fair enough. However, as she wants to go to Horse camp this summer she HAS to have a physical. No other choice.
The clinic we use is on the main street of our section of town. We arrived and sat in the waiting room with our books. The waiting room is glassed in and faces the street. Two of Em's school acquaintances walked by and began tapping on the glass to get Em's attention. Emily waved and returned to reading her book.
The two other girls were not satisfied with that acknowledgement. They knocked Louder. Emily ignored them under the heavy and hairy eyeball of her mother. When that didn't work, the two girls began to run in and out of the clinic under the auspices of getting Em's attention and "visiting a neighbor who worked there".
The first time, I let it slide. The second and third times I spoke to the girls. Telling them to get out. There was no reason for them to be running in and out of a clinic being insanely loud. At the third speaking, I was quite firm. This was a place of business, I explained, and since they did not have appointments, there was no reason for them to be in there. GO HOME.
I imagined the other patients thanking me in their minds: "Thank you mean mother for taking control of the howling 11 year old girls who are barreling in and out of this doctors office for no reason."
The following day, Em came home with this shared news. One mother had been outside on the sidewalk while the girls had been running in and out. She had not stopped them. The other girls mother quote "Didn't like the way I had spoken to her daughter."
For some reason, this irritated me beyond reason. Didn't like the way I had spoken to her daughter? Are you kidding me?
I have now been on the lookout for this child's mother. For I want to speak to her. Clear up any mis-understanding there may be. As last night was the school picnic, I thought my chance was upon me.
Now, I know most of the kids at Emily's school. Since I volunteer in the library once a week, I imprint their names and rooms. It's that kind of school. A majority of the kids live within easy walking distance, so parents become known by sight and vice versa.
When I saw Girl X last night I waved her over. I was sitting on our blanket, working on my hooked rug.
"Your mom here?", I asked.
"Oh. I heard she had some concerns with the way I spoke with you the other day at the clinic."
Girl X looks a little like a deer in the headlights. Crap. Emily told her mother what she had said.
"Because I would be happy to give your mom a call or discuss the situation if she has concerns.."
"No", stammered Girl X, "She didn't have concerns...well maybe a little."
"Well, you do know it was a doctors office that you were running in and out of, right?" I waited.
"Yeah but we were trying to visit a neighbor who works there...", Girl X trails off, eyes looking down.
"Maybe the first time you ran in - but the second and third time? With the yelling?"
I continue to stare at the Girl. "It is a place of business and there were people who weren't feeling well waiting to be seen...."
"Yeah, we were being kind of loud..." Girl X makes this admission somewhat softly, her eyes still downcast.
"Well, if your mom has anything she'd like to discuss, you let her know that I am always happy to chat, OK?"
"Ok - can I sit with you and watch?"
"Sure - no problem. Have a seat."
I don't have a great ending to the story. I don't think it needs anything else. Kids need Adults. Not just for encouragement or empathy - but boundaries too. I worry when adults become afraid to discipline not only their own children, but other children in their community. Parenting is never a single player game, and it should never be seen as such. If I was able to speak to Girl X's mother, I would want to emphasize that I was acting in HER stead. In tandem WITH her, not in judgement Of her. We can't be everywhere - especially when our children are in this transitional age of 12 and starting to appropriately move into a more social sphere.
The root of the word "discipline" remains "to teach".
I especially like this statement: "If I was able to speak to Girl X's mother, I would want to emphasize that I was acting in HER stead. In tandem WITH her, not in judgement Of her."
That's how I feel about these things, absolutely. We're not enemies of one another, we're fellow parents.
Well played teacher girl, well played.
You and I are alike, Dawn. It takes a villiage and all that. Great post.
I'd have to agree with you. But (not being a parent) this is the same to me as telling anyone else that they shouldn't be doing something, e.g. someone smacking around their spouse. I'm not the kind of guy to pretend it isn't happening. I see things similar from a non-parent point of view. Its a community and we all gotta do something to maintain it. But there's also a fine boundary regarding when you should speak up and when you shouldn't. I think it was appropriate in your case.
LOVED this post; loved it. Well said! If I'm not around and my son is misbehaving, I fully expect any adults there to correct that behavior. I also 'dicipline' kids that I see misbehaving if their parents aren't around, or if they're even having trouble. Sometimes our kids don't listen to us for whatever reason, and it's good to have someone help out. It takes a villiage to raise a child!
I also don't mean it as an "omg she can't disipline her child so I will have to do it" kind of dig.
I was made fun of by parents for firmly telling their kids to not do something while the parents watched it happened and do nothing.
I don't have human kids, but it really irks me that I'm not "supposed to" discipline other people's children, yet the parents of said children don't do it either and prefer to stinkeye you if you do it.
I normally try to stay out of stuff, but in this particular situation it was resulting in a negative impact on me directly so I said something.
And now I have two less people who like me in the world.
Thank you for posting this so I could vent. :) heh. And thank you for being one of those people who doesn't just sit around while kids act out of control as their parents allow it.
Well-played, indeed. The older I get, the more I realize there is no "us versus them." There is only "us," and it includes everybody.
I like that in the end Girl X wanted to sit with you. You're a Jedi master of children.
The next door neighbor's youngest daugher, I think the girl was about 12 or 13 at the time, was sunbathing in their front yard with her CD player blasting. Not sure who the rap artist was but the main theme of the song was "Mother F----- Mother F----- Mother F-----..." you get the drift. And this was BLASTING! Her mother finally approached her and, I kid you not, said, in an apologetic voice, "Kim, I'm not trying to me mean but do you think you could turn down your music a little bit?" THE MOTHER WAS APOLOGIZING TO HER KID FOR BLASTING OUT A RAP SONG FILLED WITH PROFANITY! It's like parents are afraid to discipline their kids nowadays, trying to be the cool parent, the friend parent instead of a PARENT! Did I approach this kid about her music? No way. After tolerating their rotten bratty behavior for several years, and being the "mean neighbor" the times I did intervene, it would have made no difference. If my parents had heard that song, that CD would have been broken into a million pieces!
Sounds reasonable to me. My kids are younger, but I hope (and with some friends) expect that they'll help guide my kids (and tell them to cut it out when the kids are being insane) just as I would with theirs. My friends and I often tell one another when we've been stern with each others kids, so that we know what's up and what the context is. I imagine it is harder with people you don't really know.

Stack and Stack Pointer
The stack is used for storing return addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. Also, it can be used for storing temporary data. The Stack Pointer (SP) always points to the top of the stack. The address pointed to by the SP is stored in the Stack Pointer (CPU.SP) register. The CPU.SP is implemented as two 8-bit registers that are accessible in the I/O memory space.
Data are pushed and popped from the stack using the instructions given in Table 1, or by executing interrupts. The stack grows from higher to lower memory locations. This means that when pushing data onto the stack, the SP decreases, and when popping data off the stack, the SP increases. The SP is automatically set to the highest address of the internal SRAM after being reset. If the stack is changed, it must be set to point above the SRAM start address (see the SRAM Data Memory topic in the Memories section for the SRAM start address), and it must be defined before any subroutine calls are executed and before interrupts are enabled. See the table below for SP details.
Table 1. Stack Pointer Instructions
Stack Pointer
PUSH Decremented by 1 Data are pushed onto the stack
ICALL
RCALL
Decremented by 2 A return address is pushed onto the stack with a subroutine call or interrupt
POP Incremented by 1 Data are popped from the stack
Incremented by 2 A return address is popped from the stack with a return from subroutine or return from interrupt
During interrupts or subroutine calls, the return address is automatically pushed on the stack as a word, and the SP is decremented by two. The return address consists of two bytes and the Least Significant Byte (LSB) is pushed on the stack first (at the higher address). As an example, a byte pointer return address of 0x0006 is saved on the stack as 0x0003 (shifted one bit to the right), pointing to the fourth 16-bit instruction word in the program memory. The return address is popped off the stack with RETI (when returning from interrupts) and RET (when returning from subroutine calls), and the SP is incremented by two.
The SP is decremented by one when data are pushed on the stack with the PUSH instruction, and incremented by one when data are popped off the stack using the POP instruction.
To prevent corruption when updating the SP from software, a write to SPL will automatically disable interrupts for up to four instructions or until the next I/O memory write, whichever comes first.

Iran stages pro-government rallies after days of violent unrest
in Featured, Iran, Middle East, News, World News
Thousands of supporters of Iran's clerical establishment rallied in Tehran on Monday, accusing the United States and Israel of instigating the most violent anti-government protests in at least a decade in Iran reports Reuters.
Amnesty International said on Monday it had recorded at least 143 protesters killed in anti-government demonstrations, which began on November 15 after the announcement of gasoline price hikes. The protests have been the worst anti-government unrest in Iran at least since the authorities put down the "Green Revolution" of demonstrations against election fraud in 2009.
The government has blamed "thugs" linked to exiles and the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia for stirring up the street unrest.
Hossein Salami, the top commander of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, warned the United States and its regional allies not to push Tehran into devastating retaliation over what it sees as their support for "rioters".
"We have shown restraint… But we will destroy our enemies … America, Israel and Saudi Arabia if they cross our red lines," Salami told pro-government demonstrators in Tehran's Revolution Square, state TV reported.
Iranian TV carried live footage of crowds chanting "Death to America," and "Death to Israel". It and Iranian officials had promoted the state-sponsored rally since Sunday in response to Western statements of solidarity with the fuel price protesters.
"I recommend they (foreign countries) look at the marches today, to see who the real people in Iran are and what they are saying," Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said.
The unrest has come as new US sanctions imposed this year have cut off nearly all of Iran's oil exports, and as similar protest movements have erupted in Iraq and Lebanon against governments that include heavily armed pro-Iranian factions.
London-based Amnesty said Iran's "use of lethal force against protesters" must be globally condemned, adding that verified videos showed "security forces deliberately shooting unarmed protesters from a short distance". "In some cases, protesters were shot while they were running away and clearly posed no threat to the security forces. Other videos show security forces shooting towards protesters from rooftops of state buildings including a justice department building," it said in a statement.
Iran's fuel protests have quickly turned political with protesters calling on top leaders to step down: "Death to the dictator. Time for you to step down!" protesters have chanted in social media videos posted by Iranians from inside the country.
Details have been difficult to report in part because of an internet blackout in much of the country.

My Flex3000 can be off for days and as soon as you turn it on it reads super high temps, and the fan runs full speed. I checked the board temps with an ennoLogic Laser and the highest temp reading on any part of the board was 87* F. You can turn the radio off and come back hours later and turn it back on. It will instantly read 250*F in the software. I assume there is a thermistor present somewhere that has gone bad???
It may be a softare problem, but do the fans go to fast speed and stay there before you start PSDR?
Fans are off until software starts. As soon as the software boots and I hit the start button the fans come on full speed.
then that is software problem, I think ,are you using the latest version?
I would completly uninstall your version,,look for all file and folders for Flex and delte them.
When you change versions it installs a new firmware in the radio. That is were I think the problem is.
If it were the TEMP detection on the board then after the TEMP gets to hot the fans kick into high speed even before the software starts. In your case it kicks up after the software starts.
Completely removed all SDR software and reinstalled. Radio is still doing the same thing.
In settings go to Transmit and chose factory Defaults. select it..
Start a help ticket, and tell them in your note what you have done so far to correct it. They may have other things for you to try. You may need to send it in for repairs.
Just as I originally suspected it's most likely a bad thermistor. Radio runs perfectly and is not running hot at all.
Well see what they say, I hope the cost to fix it is not to bad if it needs it. The 3000 is a great little radio package. I just removed my fans and oiled them, cleaned everything up.
My main rig is a Flex 6500 but I turn on the 3000 sometimes to keep up with the newest updates to PSDR.
