Divorce, Stay-at-Home-Dad Style
The following is based on a series of comments I made recently over at Rebeldad:
Stop the presses: Breadwinning moms are divorcing their stay-at- home husbands!
Not really--there's absolutely no evidence that this is happening-- but you wouldn't know it from a recent wave of essays, articles, and blog entries by and about moms who are disappointed with their marriages to caregiving spouses.
Two of the most recent examples: an instantly notorious blog entry by career coach Penelope Trunk on why her stay-at-home husband doesn't love her anymore and an article in the UK Daily Mail on a "househusband backlash" trend that the reporter seems to have invented.
Reports the Daily Mail: "Divorce lawyer Vanessa Lloyd-Platt says that in her experience, the decision to allow the wife to be the main wage earner will have a detrimental effect on as many as half of these relationships, and that divorce statistics in these cases have risen by at least five percent in the past two years."
I can't attest to Ms. Lloyd-Platt's experience, but, as discussed here many times, we do know that the vast majority of all marriages are troubled for the first three years after a baby is born--the Gottman Institute puts the number at 67 percent for more-or-less traditional marriages. So if only half of the reverse-traditional marriages Ms. Lloyd-Platt encounters are having problems, then they're actually doing pretty good.
But about that divorce stat she mentions--"five percent." The article doesn't compare the divorce rate of reverse-traditional families to traditional or dual-income families, so we have no idea what "five percent" means. We do know that the number of "househusbands" (as they're called) in the U.K. has risen by 83 percent since 1993. If the divorce rate for that group (and I'm impressed that someone in the UK is keeping track of it) has only risen five percent--and again, we have no idea what's happening with other family groups--then I'd say that's not too bad.
Some historical perspective: Non-traditional family forms are always entail some degree of internal and external conflict during their period of emergence--that is, until they become traditional, i.e., widespread and normal. This was, for example, the case when people left farms and extended families and moved to the big city and into small nuclear families -- a period of tremendous stress and conflict, and, incidentally, high rates of divorce and abandonment. Then all of a sudden (around WWII), the nuclear family was considered ideal. Family configurations aligned with the economy, and thus a post-war culture was born. In 1957, J.M. Mogey of the University of Oxford predicted that "the divorce rate should continue to decline for some years to come."
Ha! History is cruel. That very same year, divorce rates started to once again rise, after a thirty-year decline. One in three couples married in the 1950s would ultimately divorce. Today the divorce rate stands at about 50 percent (that's actually a projection; the actual number of marriages that have failed is apparently closer to 40 percent), and guess what: according to many studies, today's egalitarian marriages are the most stable. "Women are more prone to depression and to fantasize about divorce when they do a disproportionate share of the housework," reports psychotherapist Joshua Coleman in Unconventional Wisdom. "Wives are more sexually interested in husbands who do more housework. And children appear to be better socially adjusted when they regularly participate in doing chores with Dad."
Today, traditional families have their own problems--many of them will fail. And so the question isn't, Are reverse-traditional families more unstable? That's a dumb question, given the context. Instead, the question should be (to adapt a phrase from Stephanie Coontz), What can we do to help reverse-traditional families minimize their weaknesses and maximize their strengths?
I'm not saying that the stories of unhappy breadwinning moms aren't interesting and important, only that they are not as representative as they pretend to be. Some of these moms explicitly blame at-home daddyhood for their problems -- they seem to feel that the arrangement robs their men of masculine authority and self-respect. This is true of Trunk's blog entry, in which she reports being shocked and dismayed to discover that her husband describes himself as a "stay-at-home dad" in an online professional networking profile. "Surely writing stay-at-home dad on a LinkedIn profile cannot be good," she writes, clearly ashamed of her husband.
It's a digital variation of an image that keeps recurring in these stories: the public moment when a coworker or old school friend asks the breadwinning mom what her husband does for a living, and she feels a deep sense of shame. She marks that as the moment when the marriage declined.
It's really quite horrible, when you think about it. I think there's two things going on, socially. One is that some women seem unprepared for the pressures of providing, just as some dads must struggle with the demands of caregiving. They weren't raised for these roles, they never imagined themselves doing it, and they have few role models. The second thing is that social support is extremely important -- this is one of the insights that came out of a recent University of Texas study of at-home dads, and it's certainly true in my experience. If you spend all day, every day, walking uphill with the wind in your face, you get tired. Much better to have people behind you, pushing you forward.
But we have tended to focus on social situation of the at-home dad, sometimes at the expense of the breadwinning mom: they need support, community, and role models just as much, if not more. The pressures they face are enormous: all the usual breadwinning pressures, plus sexism, plus the social ambiguities of role reversal.
Despite all that, however, many moms are very happy with their roles; I've interviewed some of them for my book. Their stories also need to be told--and then maybe women like Penelope Trunk won't feel so ashamed.
A post-script: In an article posted to her old website, Kidding Ourselves (1995) author Rhona Mahony asks: "When the sexual division of labor in the home has melted away, what will divorce mean for children? No one knows for sure. In all likelihood, though, it will be less harmful to children than it is today. I suspect that the average breadwinning mother will be more emotionally attached to her children than the average breadwinning father is today, because of the lingering emotional echoes of her pregnancies and her breastfeeding, if she breastfed. Even if her primary-parent husband catches up with and surpasses her in emotional attachment, she is starting from a higher base than the average father today. Concretely, that means that fewer, absent breadwinning parents will fail to visit, fail to send money, and go AWOL completely. More of them will be mothers. Remember, too, that improvements in child support assurance, and in other programs, will probably be necessary to attract millions of men into primary parenting. Those improvements will also cushion the effects of divorce for children whose fathers are breadwinners, too."

While I think that any controversy that has some roots in the British tabloid press is immediately suspect, the fact that so many people have so much to say about something that seems not to exist (as you point out)suggests there is a cultural nerve that has been touched.
The divorce-causing crisis that Penelope Trunk describes just sounds unreal to me. She must be awfully un-self aware, which is odd for someone claiming to advise others on "life management". If her situation represents a trend at all, it's gotta pale beside the much more evident trend of successful, older, financially independent women who are able to select a partner based on mutual compatibility, rather than having to sacrifice their independence in return for financial dependency or social approval.
On the recurring theme of the nuclear family ideal in the 50s, what's interesting is that it took so long to coalesce in the States; the ideal was very strong in Europe much earlier. My own pet theory is that it had everything to do with WWII, the Cold War, and the emphasis on internal stability in the face of external enemies. The East Germans saw gender roles ca. 1950 in the same way.

"act that so many people have so much to say about something that seems not to exist (as you point out)suggests there is a cultural nerve that has been touched...."
Yes, exactly. This is a proxy discussion. I think there's something happening here that is important, which is that providing moms are speaking out about their anxieties and experiences. We've heard from SAHDs, but almost nothing from their wives, until recently.
Though what folks like Trunk have to say might seem negative and perhaps regressive, I actually think it serves a larger purpose of normalizing such arrangements. I want women like Trunk to speak out, so that a public can react: I have a certain degree of faith that an equilibrium will be reached in the way people think about these problems.
That's true -- the breadwinning moms are a key part of the picture and need to chime in about how they see things. Maybe I can get my wife to post sometime? (When she's not working!!) :)
"Maybe I can get my wife to post sometime?"
You know, I've thought about that. Let's try it. Ask her.
And if there are any thoughtful, honest breadwinning moms out there who'd like to post on the topics we cover here at Daddy Dialectic, send me a note at jeremyadamsmith(at)mac.com. Maybe you can guest-blog.
I love listening to music from my iPod while I'm on the move, be it on the bus, the indoctrinate, or just while doing groceries. On the side of that saneness, I always requirement a yard goods twosome of stereo earphones with me, and of way on some days I'd like my earphones to be an component, where I twin it with my utensils looking for that day. So I procure a join of designer earphone every other month. Recently, I bought the [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-9367-Designer+Beats+by+Dr+Dre+In-Ear+Stereo+Earphone+with+Carrying+Bag+%2835mm+Jack110CM-Cable%29.html]Designer Beats by Dr. Dre In-Ear Stereo Earphone with Carrying Bag (3.5mm Jack/110CM-Cable)[/url] from DealtoWorld.com in their Speakers & Earphones section. DealtoWorld.com has develop my inaction online shopping instal that I look in on time again to swallow whatever I may need. Succeeding to the DIY cumulate or the mall has transform into somewhat less pleasurable than browsing totally the wide variety of things at DealtoWorld.com. I would also like to get stereo speakers one light of day exchange for my home.
These designer beats that I bought comes with a carrying bag, which makes the author earphone definitely handy to depend on and carry. I've uploaded a pair of pictures of the designer stereo earphone and the carrying bag so you can espy what comes with the earphone install I bought from [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url].
On some days, I'd like to attend to fitting music with a strong bass, so I also do invest in godlike pairs of stereo earphone like Sennheiser. They're not so much plotter beats, but in actuality good for getting into the music. Although the author beats I bought from DealtoWorld.com is not a clear-cut brand like Sennheiser or Sony, it does stationary lump effectively outside blast, making in the service of listening pleasure. The technique the plotter earphone contours around the ears also makes seeking warm utilization, and the goodness thing upon the Draughtsman Beats past Dr. Dre In-Ear Stereo Earphone with Carrying Worry (3.5mm Jack/110CM-Cable) I bought from DealtoWorld.com is that it comes with multiple sizes of notice tips and leisure ear buds. These things are unemotional to twig so I'm satisfied the designer beats came with it. I can put these consideration tips and buds on my other pairs of earphone too. The carrying jump at is of speed a major gratuity to unoppressive storage and portability.
I like to fellow this team of designer beats close to Dr. Dre with my pink spaghetti strap and milky shorts, I reckon it goes fully with this outfit. While waiting in queues or waiting for the treatment of a pen-pal seeking a lunch selection, I take part in my favorite Sillcock Knocking Major change pretend on my iPod Match with this double of stereo earphone. The external noise gets blocked exposed so justly, and coupled with the praisefully engrossing stopcock game, I don't even mind when my associate arrives! Splendidly, that's what a merit pair of stereo earphone should do, I believe. Notwithstanding how, I do make it a object to hand out one earphone abroad of my notice whenever I pettish the passage, or when I'm walking on a comparatively unpeopled road. This I do instead of protection reasons. I effective wouldn't yearn for to get into an casualty or be in damage's system justifiable because I was wearing my designer stereo earphone and couldn't be told risk come close to my way.

@enmod, what seems to be the accord issue?
From way up there in the chat: I have run roots watch on the problematic directory, and watched the console as I saved files, hoping to see proper compilation. However, on changing my views and saving them there is no recompile! so I change my stylus files and save, and there goes the issue again!
One last thing: the issue only comes up after the second compile after roots watch. When I run the command it works as expected, but it only picks up changes to stylus files, and kicks out an error saying it can't find _layout.jadein my CSS folder on the next compile.
If I comment out the lines for roots-contentful in app.coffee as I mentioned earlier, then all things compile and work as expected.
Whatever is going on in those two lines is making roots-contentful not play nice with either the Accord master or its new PostCSS adapter, or likely just the latter.
When it kicks out the error it lists lines from my _post.jade view, meaning it's finding the views fine but the internal view path variable for roots-contentful is somehow being switch to my assets/css` folder.
@EnMod, @hhsnopek and @declandewet big THANK YOU for solving the postcss/roots issuse during my absence from the chat. @EnMod, your proposed workaround works great!
No problem, and thanks for that issue submission, @janviehweger ! Bear in mind it seems my workaround is incompatible with the template/path lines in app.coffee used in the config for roots-contentful, as mentioned above.
Just trying to figure out a decent roots setup using bower components.
I'm using js-manifest.yml, and css-manifest.yml, to bring in the appropriate js and css files from the bower components.
The thing I'm stumped on is how to hide bower_components from the public folder. I think it's properly piping everything into the css and js file, but if I ignore the bower folder it stops working..

Drug and alcohol use of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people: findings of the Goanna survey
Methods: A national cross sectional survey was administered using hand held personal digital assistants at Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community events in every jurisdiction during 2011-2013. Aboriginal organisations and staff were engaged at every level of the project ensuring a self determination approach was applied to this research.
Results: A total of 2877 surveys were completed. 60% were female, median age of respondents was 21, 51% of surveys were collected from residents in major cities, 36% from regional centres and 9% from remote areas. Overall 17% of people aged 16-29 reported never drinking alcohol, including 24% of people aged 16-19, but 11% of 20-24 year olds. However of those that did drink alcohol, the level of consumption considered very risky (seven or more drinks on an occasion) was higher among males compared with females (44% vs. 33%, respectively) and increased with age (32% vs. 42% among 16-19 and 20-24 year olds respectively). Overall 42% and 43% of males and females respectively smoked tobacco. Just over a third (37%) of young people reported smoking cannabis in the last year and around 10% of males and females reported doing so daily. More daily use occurred in increasing age groups. Overall 15% of participants reported using methamphetamines, and 17% reported using ecstasy in the last year. No increases in use were observed with increasing age groups.
Discussion: This data supplements other national available data and provides comparative data to other population groups. Increasing harm minimisation strategies to reduce alcohol and other drug use in young people are required, especially among young males.

Delayed HIV diagnoses among gay and bisexual men in Australia
The majority of HIV diagnoses including delayed diagnoses in Australia occur among men who report homosexual contact – hereafter called gay and bisexual men (GBM). Delayed diagnosis is strongly associated with increased HIV-related mortality and morbidity. People who are unaware of their HIV-positive status may also be unwittingly transmitting HIV. We assessed trends in delayed HIV diagnoses among GBM in Australia.
Complex case report that illustrates the paucity of data for long term management of Visceral Leishmania-HIV co-infection.
HIV-associated leishmaniasis, endemic in the Mediterranean basin is a growing problem in India, Brazil and East Africa. Despite surviving for than 20 years, the clinical course of our visceral-leishmania (VL)-HIV co-infected patient illustrates several management challenges including diagnosis, speciation and drug resistance; monitoring burden of disease; access to and use of VL-treatments; end-organ toxicity and the combined immunosuppressive effects of HIV-VL.
Clinical factors associated with suboptimal adherence to antiretroviral therapy in Asia
Adherence to combination antiretroviral therapy (cART ) plays an important role on treatment outcomes. The TREAT Asia Studies to Evaluate Resistance – Monitoring Cohort Study (TASER-M) collects patients' adherence based on a Visual Analogue Scale. The aim of this analysis was to assess the rates of, and factors associated with, suboptimal adherence in the first 24 months of initial cART in Asian patients.
Reinvigorating evidence for action and capacity in community HIV programs (REACH Project)
REACH was a collaborative research and practice initiative to develop evidence building frameworks, capacity, tools and resources with the Victorian HIV community partnership.
The impact of immune activation on natural killer cells in the setting of HIV infection
HIV disease is associated with chronic inflammation and activation of the innate immune system. This state, as measured using plasma markers of inflammation, persists following suppression of HIV viremia using antiretroviral therapy, and may increase risk of non-AIDS co-morbidities. The causes of innate immune activation in the setting of virological suppression are unclear. Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune cells that kill virus-infected and transformed cells without prior sensitization. We have shown that NK cells are activated both phenotypically (elevated expression of HLA-DR) and functionally (increased spontaneous degranulation measured by CD107a surface expression) in virologically suppressed (VS) HIV+ individuals. NK cells also lose expression of CD16, the receptor which mediates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.
Men who take more risks avoid HIV testing due to structural barriers
Regular HIV testing is recommended in men who take sexual risks. We assessed the relationship between perceived barriers to HIV testing, and frequency of testing among men who engaged in unprotected anal intercourse with casual partners (UAIC), to inform HIV testing strategies.
Behavioural trends among Australian gay men pose increasing challenges for HIV prevention: findings from the Gay Community Periodic Surveys, 2003-1
Gay men remain the primary population affected by HIV in Australia. While recent attention has been focused on increasing HIV testing and the use of antiretroviral-based prevention to reduce infections, it is equally important to sustain safe sex and other risk reduction practices. Increases in unprotected anal intercourse (UAI), for example, may counteract any beneficial changes in testing and treatment.

Q: Saving two models in one admin form I've written a CMS and two of my relevant models are talk and attachment. A talk can have many attachments. My problem is that when the user creates a new talk, they have to create the attachments in a separate window in a separate form.
For my project it is a requirement that the user create new attachments at the same time they create a new talk. The user can include a maximum of 5 attachment objects. At the moment talk looks like
class talk(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length = 255)
    ...
    attachments = models.ManyToManyField('attachment')

and attachment looks like
class attachment(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length = 255)
    link = models.URLField("Attachment URL")

Is this possible?

A: Yes. You could use an InlineModelAdmin (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.InlineModelAdmin)
Since attachments is a ManyToMany field, you could do something like this:
from django.contrib import admin

class AttachmentThroughInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = talk.attachments.through

class talkAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [
        AttachmentThroughInline,

The Cure kicked off the 1990s with the release of Mixed Up, an album collecting the band's rarer 12-inch mixes. It wasn't just a straightforward anthology, however, as two songs ("A Forest" and "The Walk") weren't just remixed, but re-recorded, and a wholly new track ("Never Enough") was also recorded. As Robert Smith comments, Brian "Chuck" New's dub style remix of "Pictures Of You" inspired him: "That mix turned the music on its head, but at the same time left the essential heart of the song

Welcome to another installment of Reissue Theory, where we focus on notable albums and the reissues they could someday see. The recent success of some U.S. dates from The Cure have us thinking about their first compilation - a must-own for alt-rock fans when it was released a quarter-century ago - and how its best configuration deserves a release on CD. With a catalogue that stretches back to the late '70s and starts off far more solidly than most bands, it was a treat to see The Cure celebrate

The reissue press release was recently posted to The Cure's official site with a May 24 release date from Polydor/Universal in the U.K. Hopefully this means a May 25 release from Rhino in the U.S. will be locked down before long.

We're less than two weeks into a new year and a new decade, but 2010 is already shaping up to be a great year for back catalogue enthusiasts. What follows is a round-up of the best and brightest reissues already slated for the new year. An obligatory note on release dates: they're as always set to change. I base my reports on the excellent work at Pause & Play, the best resource for any music release dates you might be looking for. Hit the jump for some news on catalog titles by Elvis

Earlier this year, two Michigan State University (MSU) chemistry professors were invited speakers at the first-ever joint U.S.–Cuba conference sponsored by the Cuban Society of Chemistry of Havana. They joined speakers from some of the top schools in the country—the University of California–Berkeley, Princeton, Harvard and the California Institute of Technology.
The title of the conference, which was held at the University of Havana in January, was Hot Topics in Chemistry. The broad range of subjects represented a sampling of active research at the forefront of chemistry in the United States.
"The U.S. embargo against Cuba, which had been in effect since the early '60s, really limited the possibility of having meaningful scientific interactions," said Professor James McCusker, who spoke at the conference about ultrafast laser spectroscopy for solar energy conversion.
Angela Wilson, MSU Hannah Distinguished Professor of computational chemistry, and director for the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry, spoke about theoretical and computational chemistry, specifically, her MSU research in theoretical chemistry (quantum mechanical) methods being developed for thermochemical predictions. In her role as an NSF division director, she also talked about NSF priorities for chemistry.
Wilson and the NSF delegation also met with the president of the Cuban Academy of Sciences; visited with officials at the Ministry of Science, Technology, and the Environment; met with officials from the Ministry of Higher Education; visited the U.S. Embassy; and visited with the director of the Jardin Botanico Nacional de Cuba to discuss science in Cuba and possible scientific interactions. The group also met the president of the University of Havana, and spent time with the leadership of the Cuban Chemical Society.
Wilson added that NSF provides funding in a number of ways to support international collaborations. This funding, however, is for the U.S. portion of the collaborations and, typically, for visits by U.S. investigators to another country for collaborative opportunities.
"Some of the research opportunities that U.S. scientists take for granted don't have a footprint at all in Cuba right now," McCusker said. "It has been a challenge for Cuba because of the technological hurdles. High-tech equipment—such as ultrafast lasers—has been largely inaccessible to scientists there." In addition to a lack of certain types of equipment, Cuban scientists also have to deal with lack of access to chemicals and safety gear.
While at the conference, McCusker and Wilson discussed with the Cuban scientists the potential for future collaborations, including the possibility of undergraduate students from Cuba pursuing research opportunities in the United States.
Hot Topics 2018 will be held on January 6.

Who are the new Miami Marlins managerial candidates?
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA – AUGUST 23: Manager Don Mattingly #8 of the Miami Marlins appears to be like on from the dugout previous to the get started of the sport towards the Oakland Athletics at RingCentral Coliseum on August 23, 2022 in Oakland, California. (Photo by way of Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)
Is Brian Anderson's time with the Miami Marlins over? by way of Neil Raymond
The Miami Marlins desire a new supervisor and I wrote about some intriguing replacements for us already. Don Mattingly is long gone and it's time for any individual new to steer The Fish. That "someone new" might be both Joe Espada or Pedro Grifol. Both of them have been lately interviewed for our managerial opening, however each appear lovely nameless choices that perplexed our fanbase on social media. Who are they? Let's glance into that and whether or not they're just right suits to control the Miami Marlins.
Joe Espada and Pedro Grifol are applicants to control the Miami Marlins.
Who is Pedro Grifol? Grifol is lately a bench trainer with the Kansas City Royals, and has been in that function since 2013. This signifies that he's been part of each their 2014 American League pennant profitable group, and their 2015 World Series profitable group. That's lovely spectacular, despite the fact that makes you additionally surprise what function he particularly performed to assist the ones groups.
Pedro Grifol spent a complete of 9 seasons taking part in in the Minor Leagues for each the Minnesota Twins and the New York Mets. Unfortunately for Grifol, he was once by no means in a position to make it to the Major Leagues as a participant.
Grifol in any case made it as a bench trainer, and may quickly be a supervisor. He is in fact in prime call for and may be being pursued by way of Kansas City's department competitors the Chicago White Sox. I might believe they would favor he would take his intimate wisdom of the group to any other league. He has profitable revel in and that may be an asset to The Fish.
What about Joe Espada? Who is he? He's in fact the bench trainer for the Houston Astros. That's naturally a query mark, particularly bearing in mind he was once a part of their 2017 World Series profitable group, that are identified cheaters. He additionally has profitable revel in, as regardless of their dishonest they have been nonetheless a just right group. He additionally spent 9 seasons in the Minor Leagues as a participant (with the Oakland Athletics).
Espada retired as a participant in 2007 and labored as a entrance place of business worker and trainer with the Miami Marlins and the New York Yankees. He has wisdom of our group in order that is helping as smartly. Could he deliver us a profitable tradition with out knocking on rubbish cans after stealing indicators?
Both Joe Espada and Pedro Grifol have revel in profitable the World Series. Both have revel in profitable pennants. They might be just right choices to control the Miami Marlins.

Come Thanksgiving Day each year, many of us give the nod to Pilgrims and Indians and talk of making ready for a harsh first winter in the New World.
But for the Christian, the deepest roots of our thanksgiving go back to the Old World, way back before the Pilgrims, to a story as old as creation, with a two-millennia-old climax. It's a story that keeps going right on into the present and gives meaning to our little lives, even when we're a half a globe removed from history's ground zero at a place called Golgotha.
You could call it the true story of thanksgiving — or you could call it the Christian gospel viewed through the lens of that often undervalued virtue known as "gratitude." It opens up a few biblical texts we otherwise may be prone to downplay.
Here's the true story of thanksgiving in four stages.
First, God created humanity for gratitude. You exist to appreciate God. He created you to honor him by giving him thanks. Appreciating both who God is and his actions for us — in creating us and sustaining our lives — is fundamental to proper human life in God's created world.
Part of what the first man and woman were created to do was honor God by being thankful. And part of what we exist to do is honor God by being thankful — and thus the numerous biblical commands enjoining gratitude.
Humanity was created to appreciate God. But as we've already seen from Romans 1, ingratitude wasn't far away.
Second, we all have failed miserably in appreciating God as we should. In her book on gratitude, Ann Voskamp gives memorable expression to the failure of the first man and woman — and the devil before them — to rightly experience and express gratitude.
Satan, he wanted more. More power, more glory. Ultimately, in his essence, Satan is an ingrate. And he sinks his venom into the heart of Eden. Satan's sin becomes the first sin of all humanity: the sin of ingratitude. Adam and Eve are, simply, painfully ungrateful for what God gave.
Isn't that the catalyst of all my sin?
Satan the ingrate spawns unthankfulness in Adam and Eve, who pass it along to all of us. Both before our conversion and after, we are unthankful people. This is so painfully true.
Perhaps hyperphysicality is all too well known in 21st-century Western society at large. A milieu of materialists is so unaware of spiritual reality that even when there is gratitude for the physical, the spiritual is neglected, if not outright rejected. We can be thankful for the temporal, even while we couldn't care less about the eternal.
But hyperspirituality is often particularly dangerous among the so-called "spiritual" types, even in the church. We can be prone to mute God's physical goodness to us out of fear that appreciation for such would somehow detract from our thanksgiving for spiritual blessings.
In our sin, we fail again and again to get the proportions right. Only with divine redemption are we able to grow toward a balance that goes something like this: Christians are thankful for all God's gifts, especially his eternal gifts, and especially the surpassing value of knowing his Son (Philippians 3:8), the Spirit-become-physical.
Third, God himself, in the person of his Son, Jesus, entered into our thankless world, lived in flawless appreciation of his Father, and died on our behalf for our chronic ingratitude. It is Jesus, the God-man, who has manifested the perfect life of thankfulness. If you've ever tracked the texts where Jesus gives his Father thanks, you'll know it's quite an impressive list.
Jesus is not only God himself but also the quintessentially thankful human. The God-man not only died to forgive our failures in giving God the thanks he's due, but also lived the perfect life of appreciation on our behalf toward his Father.
Finally, by faith in Jesus, we are redeemed from ingratitude and its just eternal penalty in hell, and freed to enjoy the pleasure of being doubly thankful for God's favor toward us — not only as his creatures, but also as his redeemed.
It is fitting for a creature to be in a continuous posture of gratitude toward his Creator. And it is even more fitting for a redeemed rebel to be in an ongoing posture of gratitude toward his Redeemer. The kind of life that flows from such amazing grace is the life of continual thankfulness. This is the kind of life in which the born-again Christian is being continually renewed, progressively being made more like Jesus.
And so the apostle Paul encourages Christians to have lives characterized by thanksgiving.

Q: SCCM 2012: SQL Server service running account When installing System Center Configuration Manager 2012, one of the problems I encountered during the Prerequisite Check was "SQL Server service running account". The detail of the prerequisite check is:

The logon account for the SQL Server service cannot be a local user account, NT SERVICE\ or LOCAL SERVICE. You must configure the SQL Server service to use a valid domain account, NETWORK SERVICE, or LOCAL SYSTEM.

On the machine with my Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Enterprise installation, I have deleted all the servers except for the reserved account (sa) and the domain account I used to log into the server with (domain\administrator), as per the above error message. However, I continue to receive the above failed requisite error. Are there any other checks I could do to resolve this error?

A: A step by step instruction can be found here:
http://www.randomtechtips.com/change-logon-account-for-sql-server-service/
1 – Create a dedicate domain account to be used for the SQL Server Service – don't get into the habit of using your own domain admin account to run services – systems will break when you leave and your reputation will be shot!
2 – Using your Admin tools, open Active Directory Users and Computers
3 – Right-click on an Organizational Unit that will contain your domain user account
4 – Click New, User, create a user account with a meaningful name, with a meaningful description
5 – On the SQL Server, click Start, SQL Server Configuration Manager
6 – Click SQL Server Services, in the right window pane, right-click SQL Server , click Properties
7 – Click the Log On tab, click "This account", click browse
8- Select the Run Account created earlier
9 – Enter the password (twice to confirm) in the Log on tab, click OK.  When prompted to Confirm the Account change, click Yes to restart the service.  Click OK to close the properties page.
Ensure the SQL Server service is running with the new domain (service) accoun
Re-run the Prerequisite Check for SCCM 2012 and validate that you do not see the prerequisite for SQL Server service as a warning or failure.

A: The error message is pretty clear here. The account used to run the service must be a domain account, Network Service, or Local System. This isn't an account inside of SQL.

A: I found out that it was a configuration error on one of the installation steps. According to this guide:

On the Server Configuration screen I choose the accounts I set up earlier in Active Directory Users and Computers (if you haven't done it yet, you can do it now). The passwords that have been set for the accounts go here too. Change the Startup Type of the SQL Server Agent service to Automatic in the dropdown box. Also change the SQL Server Browser Startup Type to Automatic.

This resolved the issue.

Mini Bios of People of Scots Descent
John Campbell Biography
This biography is from "Memorial and biographical record; an illustrated compendium of biography, containing a compendium of local biography, including biographical sketches of prominent old settlers and representative citizens of South Dakota..." Published by G. A. Ogle & Co., Chicago, 1899. Pages 425-426
HON. JOHN CAMPBELL, the present register of deeds of Hand county, South Dakota, and a prominent citizen of Miller, has been and is distinctively a man of affairs and one who has wielded a wide influence. A strong mentality, an invincible courage, a most determined individuality have so entered into his make-up as to render him a natural leader of men and a director of public opinion. His city and county may well accord honor to him.
A native of Scotland, Mr. Campbell was born August 16, 1839, and is a son of Robert and Catherine (Tait) Campbell, who emigrated to Canada in 1854 and there spent the remainder of their lives, the father dying in 896, the mother in 1894. They were farming people. Our subject was reared and educated in his native land and came to America in 1852. He was a sailor and followed the Great Lakes as such for thirty years, being captain of a vessel part of the time. He left the lakes in 1883 and the following year came to Hand county, South Dakota, where he took up a claim and engaged in farming until the fall of 1896, when he was elected register of deeds.
In 1864, Mr. Campbell was united in marriage with Miss Mary Tait, a native of Canada, and they have one daughter, Edith. They belong to the Presbyterian church and are held in high respect and esteem by all who know them. Socially, Mr. Campbell affiliates with the Masonic order, and politically is identified with the Populist party. He was one of the founders of the party in this state and in 1887 ran for representative to the legislature on the Labor ticket. In 1891 and again in 1893 he was elected to that office and most ably represented Hand county in the lower house. He has served as a member of the county and state central committee of his party, and as a pioneer of this region, he assisted in organizing Ontario township, Hand county, and was chairman of the board of supervisors for many years. He is one of the most public-spirited and progressive citizens of his community, and has ever given his support to all enterprises which he believes calculated to prove of public benefit.

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – The parents of a 19-month old child, brutally attacked by a pack of dogs in Lake Worth, have been arrested.
Thursday deputies with the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office arrested Chance Walker Sr. 26, and Patricia Walker 23. Both have been charged with Injury to a Child.
The couple was taken into custody, without incident, at a house in the 900 block of Hackamore Street in White Settlement.
Four dogs attacked little Chance Walker Jr. on January 30. The child was rushed to Cook Children's Medical Center with serious injuries and ultimately had to undergo surgery to reattach an ear.
CBS 11 News learned that in the last year there had been eight 'dog-related' police calls made on animals at the address where the dog attack occurred.
Before Walker Jr. was released from the hospital, a Child Protective Services (CPS) investigation urged that the state be given temporary managing conservatorship from the parents. The request was granted.
Chance Walker Jr. remains in foster care. All four of the dogs blamed for mauling have been euthanized.
Chance Walker Sr. and Patricia Walker remain in the Tarrant County Jail, each with a $100,000 bond.
Conviction of a second-degree Injury to a Child charge is punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Joint statement on the impact of a biennial World Cup on women's football
The proposed plans by FIFA to stage both the men's and women's World Cup tournaments every two years will have profoundly detrimental sporting, economic, societal and many other impacts that will fundamentally alter the course and development of the women's game. The fast-paced nature of the (so far) very selective consultation process and all-but agreed proposals have not allowed a careful reflection on what is in the best interests of the future development of women's football or adequately assessed the possible irreversible consequences such a change might entail.
The symbiotic relationship between all parts of world football – allowing professional, amateur and grassroots football across both men's and women's clubs and national teams to all thrive in their own right – requires detailed and considered thought ahead of reaching any conclusive decisions on the future of the Men's and Women's International Match Calendar (IMC/WIMC). To date this process has yet to have taken place.
To be clear, this is not in any way about Europe defending its position, nor a question of national team versus club football. Our reservations centre on our desire for a balanced and inclusive global development that gives women and girls the best conditions to play the most beloved game at all levels and in every society. No one has more insight and understanding of this complexity than those who nurture the game on a daily basis – clubs, leagues, players and coaches – in addition to the governing bodies at confederation, national and regional levels.
Our desire is for FIFA to engage in a genuine, joint and open forum with all relevant football bodies and stakeholders, to assess with the required depth and understanding of the specific context and stage of development of the women's game and its connection to men's football, all the consequences the proposals will cause. The consequences include but are not limited to:
Adding further congestion to an already crowded women's IMC with more women's final tournaments.
Adding further congestion to the men's IMC with more men's final tournaments which will hamper the visibility and growth of women's youth, club and national team competitions and women's domestic leagues around the globe.
Placing further strain on technical, medical, and administrative resources available to women's national team football players, as the need for regular year-long provisions of such expertise is removed and resource is focused on men's competitions.
Leading to a greater risk of physical injury and mental health impacts for top players due to more concentrated matches for qualification pathways with limited preparation periods and, the increased burden placed on players during more frequent final tournament conditions.
Interrupting the professionalisation process and investment in domestic leagues, and therefore the ambition to create meaningful full-time employment for female players and structures that offer an elite environment. There are still very few full-time professional leagues in the world.
Reducing the opportunities for smaller, middle-sized and developing nations across the globe to participate in a FIFA Women's World Cup, as only those leading nations with strong foundations have the capacity and resource levels to make it viable to compete so regularly.
Compromising confederation-organised qualification campaigns due to fewer windows, leading to fewer regular playing opportunities for all. Particularly, less developed associations may miss out on regular organised football and thus also on playing final tournaments which is fuelling the sporting gap between nations.
Limiting the expansion of continental championships at club and national team level.
Significantly reducing the regularity and exposure of women's national team football throughout the season, which will negatively impact the promotion of the game, the creation of role models and the ability to attract new partners.
Neglecting the development of youth football and existing competitions, frameworks that are fundamental to the game's future
Lowering investments from sponsors and partners into the women's game due to a saturation of markets which will undermine the financial viability of women's football at international and national level, creating further inequality with the men's game.
Disrupting the global and rapidly evolving fan culture for women's football that is taking off, but risks being impacted through the enhancement of competing established sporting events which will divert fans' interests and investment in the women's game.
Creating upheaval for other sports and important other major sporting events.
We approach the future of the game's development with an open and progressive mindset, and we appreciate the stated intent of the idea of a biennial Women's World Cup is to develop football and provide more playing and hosting opportunities. However, such a far-reaching proposal requires serious scrutiny within the context in which it sits - the women's football ecosystem. An ecosystem that is growing at pace but has not fully matured. Further development of the game we all love can only truly come about when we discuss together, at the same table, and with all those impacted by such a major decision. It is a delicate equilibrium which must show respect and responsibility across a spectrum of competitions, players, coaches, fans, nations and culture.
Such cooperation and openness between football stakeholders is the only real solution to find the best way to develop women's football on a truly global basis and for the benefit of all.

Inspiration is a funny thing. It can come to us like a lightning bolt, through the lyrics of a song, or in the fog of a dream. Ask any writer where their stories come from and you'll get a myriad of answers, and in that vein I created the WHAT (What the Hell Are you Thinking?) interview. Always including in the WHAT is one random question to really dig down into the interviewee's mind, and probably supply some illumination into my own as well.
Today's guest is Monica Garry. Her newest title is a middle grade titled THE SCARIEST HALLOWEEN EVER.
I knew I wanted to make the story fun and give it a moral. The moral of the story is to always be nice to your little sister and never take her for granted. But the story ended up being so much more than that. Dontae learns the importance of family and friendship. He also learns how to be brave even during the darkest times. I gave my main character an adventure to go on and the rest just fell into place.
My plots always change. I sit down with a story in my head, but my characters take me on an entirely different journey. It's fun and exciting when your characters takeover.
I seem to come up with a new idea every week. Since I can't write thirty books at one time, I give each idea its own journal. By the time I'm done writing one book, I already have another story plotted and ready to be written.
That's the hard part. My muse is constantly feeding me ideas and if I'm not careful I'll have two or three books going at one time. I have to calm myself down, because I get so excited when I get a new idea. I usually focus on the story that I am most excited about.

Students and teachers discuss AcLab changes
Madeline Fitzgerald '22, Lifestyles Editor|November 1, 2021
The average AcLab is busy and productive, with students chatting with their friends and doing homework, and teachers taking the opportunity to provide extra instruction. Recently, however, the independent period has been cut short.
Since the beginning of the school year, Jones has been experimenting with an early release time on certain B day Wednesdays to allow for teachers to have anti-racism training, and has replaced the latter half of AcLab with Eagle Lab on some Thursdays with the goal of improving students' mental health.
However, students and teachers alike are feeling the negative impacts of lost independent study time on learning.
"Surprisingly, I haven't had more of my students come in during my morning office hours since AcLab time was shortened," said math teacher Kimberly Bowman. "They aren't in my room with questions when I'm available."
Abby Basler '22 has seen the new AcLab schedule upset her study habits.
"I usually like to take a break after classes to refocus my mind before I start doing my homework and visiting teachers during AcLab, but with the new changes I have to go straight into work mode," Basler said. "I'm definitely less productive now."
Science teacher Garrett Smith is also feeling pressed for time.
"For teachers, the first AcLab of the week is usually taken up by department or team meetings, and now even the time we have is shorter," said Smith. "It's hard for me to instruct and hard for my students to get help and learn."
Especially for underclassmen that are new to in-person AcLab, the changes have made adjusting to a regular school year difficult.
"Transferring from virtual learning has been a challenge for students still figuring out what the purpose of AcLab is and its value," Bowman said. "The younger grades are being hit the hardest by lost AcLab time."
Even with the loss of time, Bowman does believe that Wednesday anti-racism training sessions in lieu of AcLab have pushed Jones further towards its goal of becoming an anti-racist community.
"This year Jones has been looking at white supremacy culture and its presence at the school," Bowman said. "I think we're finally reaching a point where teachers are being given implementable anti-racist practices to use in the classroom, so I'm excited about that."
Even with the benefits to school culture that are predicted to emerge from AcLab changes, students have not seen their mental health improve in the short term.
"I understand that the intention of Thursday Eagle Lab is to educate students on their identities and mental health, and I think that anti-racism training is important work for the school, but my mental health has gone downhill since the Ac Lab changes started," said Basler. "Personally, I'm not learning new strategies for coping with stress, and losing my work time is just stressing me out more."
Teachers echo this sentiment.
"From anecdotal data, I feel that Thursday Eagle Labs are increasing stress in students and teachers rather than alleviating it," Bowman said.
Beginning an in-person school year once more has simply been hard on the entire Jones community, and everyone, from the administration to students, has recognized that.
"There's a lot of intensity right now," said Bowman. "I just want to thank everyone for being so flexible, and I'm looking forward to all of us getting adjusted soon."

Situated on the secluded Phanwa Cape, 10 km. south of Phuket town, it displays a varied collection of tropical fish, sea turtles and other marine lives.
Open Daily from 08.30-16.30 hrs.
This is Phuket's most beautiful and renowned temple. Located about 8 km. from town, the temple enshrines the gilt statues of monk-hero Luang Pho Chaem and his assistant Luang Pho Chuang, both much revered by local people because of their roles in quelling the miner rebellion in 1876.
Phra Mahathat Chedi, a newly built construction in the temple compound, enshrines a relic of the Buddha.
Being the main gateway to the south coast of the island and main pier for travelling to all the islets off the east coast of Phuket, Chalong Bay is in the mining area and is too muddy to swim in.
However, a fine view of the coconut palm groves and delicious seafood in restaurants on the shore attract hundreds of visitors to the place daily.
Next to Rawai Beach on the east is Laem Ka Beach, an excellent swimming area frequently visited by local people. From this quiet beach, boats can be hired to visit nearby islets.

IACHR Applauds Bolivia's Efforts to End Impunity Through Truth Commission

On September 14, 2017, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) issued a press release, applauding the Bolivian government's establishment of a Truth Commission on August 21, 2017. [IACHR Press Release: Bolivia] The Truth Commission will investigate allegations of grave human rights violations and crimes against humanity that occurred between November 4, 1964 through October 10, 1982, during the military and authoritarian rule of Bolivia. [IACHR Press Release: Bolivia; Amnesty International] See Ley N 879, Ley de la Comision de la Verdad, 23 December 2016 (Bolivia) (in Spanish only). The law establishing the Truth Commission, Law 879 of December 23, 2016, set its objective as "to solve the murders, forced disappearances, tortures, arbitrary detentions, and sexual violence, considered grave human rights violations, which were committed in Bolivia for political and ideological motives." [IACHR Press Release: Bolivia] The Truth Commission, composed of five members, will remain in place for two years, during which time the members will carry out investigations and report on their findings. [IACHR Press Release: Bolivia]
The establishment of the Truth Commission follows a long period of widespread impunity, since 1982, for the grave human rights violations committed during the 18-year period, and its findings, the IACHR has noted, will contribute to ensuring justice for the victims' families and to preventing further injustice. [IACHR Press Release: Bolivia; Amnesty International] Bolivia previously made efforts towards seeking and promoting truth; however, the government made little progress, and those efforts were limited to violations relating to forced disappearances. [IACHR Press Release: Bolivia] Representatives of the victims' families as well as civil society, though, continued to advocate for the establishment of a Truth Commission to ensure that the violations will be "remember[ed], record[ed], and clarif[ied]."

The African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) recently launched General Comment No. 4 on the right to redress for victims of torture and other cruel, inhuman, or degrading punishment or treatment, which was previously adopted during the 21st Extra-Ordinary Session of the ACHPR. See ACommHPR, General Comment No. 4 on the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights: The Right to Redress for Victims of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Punishment or Treatment (Article 5), (adopted at the Commission's 21st Extra-Ordinary Session, held from February 23 to March 4, 2017). Launched on May 8, the General Comment provides an authoritative interpretation of the scope of the right to redress, and States parties obligations, under Article 5 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (African Charter). The General Comment addresses the obligations to provide prompt, full, and effective redress; to ensure rehabilitation; to protect against intimidation and reprisals; and to provide redress for collective harms. See id. [IRCT Press Release] Additionally, the General Comment offers guidance on the right to redress within the contexts of sexual and gender-based violence, armed conflict, transitional justice processes, and violence carried out by non-State actors. See General Comment No. 4 on the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights: The Right to Redress for Victims of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Punishment or Treatment (Article 5), (adopted at the Commission's 21st Extra-Ordinary Session, held from February 23 to March 4, 2017). According to the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims (IRCT) – a global civil society organization dedicated to the rehabilitation of torture survivors – this General Comment takes a significant step towards achieving protections for victims of torture and other ill-treatment in the region due to its victim-centered approach to rehabilitation and to its acknowledgement that redress should be provided to victimized communities in addition to individual victims.

On November 14, the International Criminal Court (ICC) released its 2016 annual report on its pending preliminary investigations into alleged war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide. [ICC Press Release] The report details the Court's progress on the 10 situations being evaluated for possible investigation, including two examinations initiated during the reporting period of November 1, 2015 to October 31, 2016 (the situations in Burundi and Gabon). [ICC Press Release] See ICC Office of the Prosecutor, Report on Preliminary Examination Activities (2016), para. 19. The other eight preliminary examinations involve crimes allegedly committed on the territories of Afghanistan, Colombia, Guinea, Iraq/United Kingdom, Palestine, Nigeria, Ukraine, and Comoros (which requested an investigation into the Gaza flotilla raid by Israel of ships sailing under the flags of Comoros, Greece, and Cambodia).
The Office of the Prosecutor examines situations in three phases: first, to assess the situation's significance and eliminate crimes outside of the ICC's jurisdiction; second, to officially commence the examination and assess subject-matter jurisdiction over the alleged crimes; and third, to assess both the adequacy of national proceedings on the alleged crimes and the gravity of the crime, which refers to the "scale, nature, manner of commission of the crimes, and their impact[s]." See ICC Office of the Prosecutor, Report on Preliminary Examination Activities, paras. 6-7, 15. Four situations – Afghanistan, Colombia, Guinea, and Nigeria – are in the final stages of preliminary examination. Five of the situations are in the second phase and one situation that was previously dismissed (the Comoros referral) is now under reconsideration. See id. at paras. 15, 308-13. The ICC Prosecutor, Fatsou Bensouda, has indicated she intends to release decisions concerning the situation in Afghanistan and the Comoros referral shortly. [ICC Press Release] Read more
Colombians Reject Peace Deal Heralded by International Community, Negotiations Continue

On Sunday, October 2, 2016 Colombians headed to the polls to vote on a peace agreement to end the 52-year war with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerillas. [The Guardian: Voters] Contrary to what the polls had predicted, the peace deal referendum was rejected by a 0.4 percent margin. [The Guardian: Voters] The deal was the result of four years of negotiations between the government, led by President Juan Manuel Santos, and the FARC. The agreement instituted a ceasfire and initiated the demobilization of fighters through a process that will continue to be overseen by the United Nations. [UN News Centre] It also included provisions that would have cut off FARC's ties to the drug trade, required FARC guerillas to turn in their weapons and transition to a political movement that would allow FARC leaders to participate in government, and permit rebel leaders to confess and avoid jail time through special tribunal proceedings, while granting amnesty to fighters. [The Guardian: Brexit]
The peace deal, while criticized for compounding impunity for war crimes and crimes against humanity, was largely seen as an opportunity to move towards peace. [Amnesty International: No Vote] With the no vote and the remaining uncertainty over the future of Colombia and FARC's activities, officials have re-entered negotiations. [The Guardian: Brexit] Meanwhile, the Norwegian Nobel Committee recognized President Santos' efforts, awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize this past week. [Nobel Prize] Read more

Rwanda Withdraws Access to African Court for Individuals and NGOs

The government of Rwanda has announced it will no longer allow individuals and non-governmental organizations to directly file complaints against it with the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights (AfCHPR). [Ministry of Justice Press Release] The decision comes as the African Court is set to decide a claim against Rwanda by a leading opposition politician, Victoire Ingabire, who alleges her imprisonment for genocide denial was unfair and politically motivated. [AfCHPR Press Release; HRW] Rwanda deposited the withdrawal on February 29, just over three years after it first deposited the declaration under Article 34(6) of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. The government asserts that the withdrawal is intended to prevent exploitation of the individual complaint procedure by criminals, particularly individuals who took part in the 1994 genocide and have subsequently fled the country. [Ministry of Justice Press Release] The Protocol does not outline a withdrawal process, and the Court has yet to make a decision on the validity of the withdrawal or how it will affect pending cases against Rwanda. Only eight African Union (AU) countries have submitted declarations allowing individual complaints to the Court, and Rwanda is the only State to withdraw, potentially reducing the number of AU countries where individuals and NGOs have direct access to the Court to seven.

Nepal Adopts Secular Constitution Amid Violent Protests

On September 16, 2015, the Constituent Assembly of Nepal adopted a new constitution almost a decade after the end of its civil war. The country's constitution, the first to be drafted by popularly elected representatives, establishes Nepal as a secular federal republic. The constitution also divides Nepal into seven provinces and establishes a proportional electoral system to elect federal and state officials. While on the one hand, the constitution has received praise for its provisions protecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights, there has also been strong criticism about other aspects of the constitution. For example, the Madhesi and Tharu ethnic minority groups continue to protest provisions concerning the proposed provincial boundaries, on the basis that their political representation will be more limited. Additionally, women's rights groups have protested on the basis that certain constitutional provisions discriminate against women. Scholars have also expressed concerns regarding the lack of public participation in the process of drafting and implementing the constitution. Protests against the constitution have already resulted in more than 40 deaths since August 2015. [NY Times: Amid Protests; BBC: Why is Nepal's Constitution Controversial?]

Burkina Faso's interim President Michel Kafando was reinstated on September 23, 2015, following a truce agreement between coup leaders and the national army. [BBC News: Reinstated; Al Jazeera: Coup leaders sign truce] This truce agreement came after the September 16th coup in which members of the Regiment of Presidential Security (RSP, for its French name: Régiment de sécurité présidentielle), calling themselves the National Democratic Council, under the leadership of General Gilbert Diendéré, kidnapped interim President Kafando, Prime Minister Zida, and two ministry officials, Augustin Loada and Rene Bagoro. [The Guardian: Warning Shots; The Guardian: Violent Protests] Following this, the military announced that it was in power and that the transitional government, which had been put into place in November 2014, had been dissolved. [Al Jazeera: Military Claims Control; Al Jazeera: Transitional Government] Under the agreement that was reached on September 23rd, the RSP agreed to step down and return to its barracks and the national army agreed to withdraw its troops from the capital, Ouagadougou, and guarantee the RSP's safety.

High-speed chase in west San Antonio ends in crash, 4 arrests
Santiago Santana, Saul Martinez, Frank Garcia, Jose Morales, Jr. charged
A police chase across the West Side ended with a wreck and the arrest of four men early Tuesday morning.
A police chase across the city's West Side ended in a wreck and the arrest of four men early Tuesday morning.
The chase began around 1 a.m., when San Antonio police spotted the men in the 8600 block of Potranco Road near Highway 151.
Officers believe the men were trying to steal equipment from a construction site.
Police said one of the men noticed the officers and the group jumped into a stolen truck and sped away from the site.
Police said the men headed east on Highway 151, reaching speeds over 80 mph. They also headed the wrong way at some point and ran other drivers off the road, police said.
"They were aggressive in their behavior, very violent," said Officer Roger Zuniga of the San Antonio Police Department. "There was potential to put people's lives in danger, so that's why the chase was authorized. Luckily, nobody was hurt and no reported accidents."
At first, officers followed the men on foot, but then took to the sky and kept their distance.
"Once the helicopter arrived on scene, the officers backed off, turned off their lights, turned off their siren, and the helicopter was able to monitor the suspect's vehicle as it fled," Zuniga said.
The truck exited the highway on SW 36th Street and headed north to Eldridge Avenue, but the driver turned back around and crashed in an alley on 34th Street, police said.
All four men bailed out of the pickup. Two were caught right away by officers, police said. SAPD used its Eagle helicopter to spot the third man and a K-9 unit tracked down the fourth man a short time later.
Santiago Santana, 27, was charged with trespassing and evading arrest and vehicle theft.
Saul Martinez, 27, was charged with trespassing and evading arrest.
Frank Garcia, 21, and Jose Morales, Jr., 20, were charged with trespassing.

How should I go about doing this? Do I need to add a layer? If so, how to do this in a faceted plot?
Thanks!

A: Here's one way:
pts <- do.call(rbind, combn(1:3, 2, function(ii)
  cbind(setNames(dat[,c(ii, setdiff(1:3, ii))], c("x", "y")),
        var=paste(names(dat)[ii], collapse="/")), simplify=F))
lns <- do.call(rbind, combn(1:3, 2, function(ii)
  cbind(setNames(dat2[,c(ii, setdiff(1:3, ii))], c("x", "y")),
        var=paste(names(dat2)[ii], collapse="/")), simplify=F))
gg.df <- rbind(cbind(geom="pt",pts),cbind(geom="ln",lns))
ggplot(gg.df,aes(x,y)) +
  geom_point(data=gg.df[gg.df$geom=="pt",], shape=4)+
  geom_path(data=gg.df[gg.df$geom=="ln",], color="red")+
  facet_wrap(~var, scales="free")

The basic idea is to create separate data.frames for the points and the lines, then bind them together row-wise with an extra column (geom) indicating which geometry the data goes with. Then we plot the points based on the subset of gg.df with geom=="pt" and similarly with the lines.
The result isn't very interesting with your limited example, but this seems (??) to be what you want. Notice the use of geom_path(...) rather than geom_line(...). The latter orders the x-values before plotting.
