Un-educational education: Not just Madrassas, whole education system of India is 'non-educational'
By Ishan Kukreti
The timing of the Madrassa controversy courted by Maharashtra government is eyebrow raising (during the holy month of Ramzan/d and especially the ongoing reports of scams from the state).
However, the question itself, away from any political ramification, that whether or not students of religious institutions can be considered 'educated' is a relevant one. Education, in India, needs a broader debate than a bickering over its lack or presence of religiosity.
Let's start with basics
Although there are various definitions and meanings of "Education" but a subtle similarity running parallel in all of them is the functionality of education to draw out the best in a human, to make her be her best self.
Education, whether religious or secular, would mean nothing if it fails to give a student the key to unlock her potential. If the kind of education given to someone with an artistic bent of mind does not nurture her creativity, it is a waste. Similarly if an education system smothers a student with a spiritual bent of mind, it is doing her more harm than good.
Viewing education thus, makes it 'un-educational' in most of its present forms in India today. The Xerox photocopy machine that works in the name of education today assembling and exporting armies of doctors, engineers and MBA graduates is good at just one thing, creating copy, after copy, after copy.
Non-religious education in India
With all due fairness, if the point of contention is shifted from religion to actual learning in this debate, then most government schools with pathetic infrastructure and unqualified/absent teaching staff are more non-educational than any madrassa.
A UNESCO's International Institute of Educational Planning study said that 25 per cent teacher absenteeism in India is among the highest in the world. Add to this the fact that only 5 per cent of teachers in government schools hold only Bachelor or Master's degrees, while 13 per cent have only secondary or higher secondary certification, without any teacher qualification, and you know the educational level of the unfortunate students 'studying' in these schools.
Even the education in private schools, where 40 per cent of young India studies are systems which do not promote a free thinking, critically inquisitive environment. At best they act as laboratories where rats of the future are trained on the hamster wheels of today.
The medium of instruction is mostly English and the knowledge imparted creates an absurdity of an individual, too Western to understand and survive in 80 per cent of India and too backward to be taken seriously in the west.
Both these forms of educational institutes are in no way unlocking anyone's potential. They are just creating a barely skilled workforce.
Religious institutes in India
Declaring religious institutions 'un-educational' by the Maharashtra government is a classic example of pot calling the kettle black. However, this doesn't mean that religious educational institutions in India have not paved their own way to hell with good intentions.
Madrassas and Maths have had their names drawn into controversies over fundamental violence. Their cringing repulsion at the name of change has made them stick to courses best suited for someone from medieval times.
Although questions on their relevance have been raised a lot of times, as it is being done now, these do not take into account a very important factor that distinguishes religious from non-religious educational institutes. If the later deals with or ought to deal with improving potential in worldly matters, the former is geared towards or ought to be gathered towards increasing potential in knowing oneself, of matters more metaphysical.
Among all the horrors modernity has made humans suffer, it has its positive aspects too. And one of its blessings is increasing possibilities.
While a debate depending on the stance taken by a contender, can be stretched, pulled and twisted in any way, one thing that remains true to all issues is that not all contentions are like apples and oranges. The grey area is where the answers usually lie.
Ignoring religious education as un-educational is nothing less than throwing the baby out with the bath water and claiming that the other kind is a model of perfection, is again, barking up the wrong tree. The present focus should be on increasing the possibilities for the students, despite what kind of education they choose. A boy studying in a madrassa should be qualitatively as 'educated' as a girl studying in a government school.
Major reforms are needed for both religious and state-run educational institutes in the country and politics should be the last factor to base them on.

Safe & friendly insect spray?
Butlers Safe & Friendly insect spray isn't as eco-friendly – or even safe – as it claims.
On the back the label states "This product is toxic to bees". It also warns you to wear ankle-to-wrist protective clothing and to avoid inhaling the mist during spraying or letting the product make contact with your skin.
Tui Products is the distributor named on the label, but it told us it no longer supplies Butlers Safe & Friendly. So if you've bought this product because of its friendly name, make sure you read the instructions before using it. Spray only in the late evening when bees have returned to the hive and don't use it on any plant that's in flower.


The death rate in Scotland from December 2015 to March 2016 was down from the previous year, according to the latest figures.
In total, 20,503 deaths were registered by the National Records of Scotland (NRS) in the four months compared with 22,013 in 2014/2015.
The 2014/2015 figures represented the highest winter death rate in 15 years.
The last sixteen winters have had seven out of the ten lowest seasonal increases in the 65 winters for which figures are available. NRS statistics show that mortality can fluctuate markedly from winter to winter, but occasionally one year will have an unusually large figure, like winter 2014/15.
The number of deaths registered between December 2015 to March 2016 exceeded the rate for the proceeding four months which was 17,625.
It was also higher than the death rate for the four months afterwards which was 17,675.
Tim Ellis, chief executive of NRS, said: "There are always more deaths in the winter in Scotland than in any other season.
"These new figures from National Records of Scotland show that last winter's seasonal increase was smaller than the one for winter 2014/15, but it was still above the level seen in eight of the previous ten winters.


President Donald Trump is planning to attend the World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort of Davos later this month.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says in a statement that the president welcomes the opportunity to promote his "America First" agenda with world leaders.
Sanders says Trump wants to promote his policies for strengthening American businesses, industries and workers.
The annual gathering of global political and business elites is scheduled to take place from Jan. 23-26 in Switzerland.
American presidents rarely attend. Then-Vice President Joe Biden attended last year.
The New York Times first reported on Trump's plans to attend the forum.

I've seen cats leap 5 toes by means of the air to land on prime of a cat tower, sending it rocking. If it did not have a wide sufficient base, the tower and the cat would have tipped right over. Consider the cat tree you need and picture a crazed beast launching itself straight at it: Is it going to hold up to the onslaught? The broader the base the higher, and if potential, it is at all times nice to attach the structure to the wall. Water-heater earthquake straps work well for this. Additionally, put heavier sections down lower, and smaller platforms up increased. The added weight at the base will preserve the construction steadier.

Carrefour opens first store in Uganda
January 17, 2020 in Business, Companies, Investment by Editor
Kyambadde (centre), said with rapid urbanization, there is an increased demand for superior and high-quality products offered at great value.
The first Carrefour store in Uganda was officially opened by trade, industry and cooperatives minister, Amelia […]
The first Carrefour store in Uganda was officially opened by trade, industry and cooperatives minister, Amelia Kyambadde in Kampala recently.
"The entry of a global retail brand like Carrefour goes a long way in ensuring that the expanding community is catered to. With rapid urbanization, there is an increased demand for superior and high-quality products offered at great value, and we are very confident that in Majid Al Futtaim, we have the right partner," she said.
Majid Al Futtaim, is the leading shopping mall, communities, retail and leisure pioneer across the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Located at the popular Oasis Mall, the store covers 2,800 square metres, catering to the evolving customer needs in Uganda and responding to the growing demand for modern retail in Kampala. Carrefour offers shoppers great value and choice, through a combination of offers and promotions while delivering unbeatable prices, quality and its renowned customer service.
Hani Weiss, Chief Executive Officer of Majid Al Futtaim – Retail said Carrefour's first launch in Uganda is an integral part in the retailer's long-term ambition of strengthening its presence in the East African region:
"We are committed to operating in Uganda for the long term and are happy for the opportunity to contribute to further developing the retail sector to the benefit of the community.
He said, "Carrefour is here to modernize the grocery retail sector by bringing international best practices, and delivering the best value products to our customers, as we work to realize our vision of creating great moments for everyone everyday".
The store stocks up to 20,000 products, a mix of international and local brands, all certified by relevant government agencies, applying international hygiene standards in order to guarantee food safety to customers.
The Minister said, "By building the capacity of local suppliers, Majid Al Futtaim is encouraging value addition which will in turn help to boost household incomes. This supplements the Government's job creation efforts."
She said by buying from local suppliers, Majid Al Futtaim is also helping to strengthen the government's 'Buy Uganda, Build Uganda' policy and that they will continue to support companies that promote inclusive growth in their operations.
Majid Al Futtaim has recruited 130 Ugandan employees and has contracted 50 more from external local companies. The company has also engaged 260 local suppliers to stock the Carrefour store in Uganda. The company owns the franchise rights to operate the Carrefour brand in over 30 countries across the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Today it operates over 300 stores in 16 countries across that network.

About Polestar
Polestar electric roadster concept planned to enter production as Polestar 6
GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN – 16 AUGUST 2022. Polestar (Nasdaq: PSNY), the Swedish electric performance car company, confirms plans to put the Polestar electric roadster concept into production. The production car is expected to launch in 2026 as the Polestar 6 electric performance roadster. Interested customers in all active Polestar markets are able to reserve a car online from 16 August 2022.
"With the overwhelming consumer and press response, we took the decision to put this stunning roadster into production and I am so excited to make it a reality," says Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO. "Polestar 6 is a perfect combination of powerful electric performance and the thrill of fresh air with the top down."
Revealed in Los Angeles in March as the Polestar O₂, the electric roadster concept builds on the design, technology and sustainability ambitions laid out by the Polestar Precept and showcases the brand's vision for future sports cars.
The hard-top convertible will be built on Polestar's bespoke bonded aluminium platform. Developed in-house, it will feature the high-performance, 800-Volt electric architecture already confirmed for Polestar 5. This includes output of up to 650 kW (884 hp) and 900 Nm from a dual motor powertrain, a targeted 0-100 km/h sprint time of 3,2 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h.
To celebrate the launch, 500 numbered units of a special 'LA Concept' version, the 'Polestar 6 LA Concept edition', are planned to be produced. They will exclusively feature the unique 'Sky' blue exterior, light leather interior and unique 21-inch wheels of the original Polestar O₂ concept.
The production confirmation headlines the brand's attendance with the electric roadster concept at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and 'The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering' events during Monterey Car Week in California, 18-21 August 2022.
Further technical details and specification confirmations will be released as the production car becomes reality, leading up to the expected launch in 2026.

Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC (Nasdaq: PSNY) ("Polestar") is a Swedish premium electric vehicle manufacturer. Founded by Volvo Car AB (publ.) (together with its subsidiaries, "Volvo Cars") and Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd ("Geely"), in 2017, Polestar enjoys specific technological and engineering synergies with Volvo Cars and benefits from significant economies of scale as a result.
Polestar is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, and its vehicles are currently available and on the road in markets across Europe, North America, China and Asia Pacific. By 2023, the company plans that its cars will be available in an aggregate of 30 markets. Polestar cars are currently manufactured in two facilities in China, with additional future manufacturing planned in the USA.
Polestar has produced two electric performance cars. The Polestar 1 was built between 2019 and 2021 as a low-volume electric performance hybrid GT with a carbon fibre body, 609 hp, 1,000 Nm and an electric-only range of 124 km (WLTP) – the longest of any hybrid car in the world at the time.
The Polestar 2 electric performance fastback is the company's first fully electric, high volume car. The Polestar 2 model range includes three variants with a combination of long- and standard range batteries as large as 78 kWh, and dual- and single-motor powertrains with as much as 300 kW / 408 hp and 660 Nm.
From 2022, Polestar plans to launch one new electric vehicle per year, starting with Polestar 3 – the company's first electric performance SUV which is expected to debut in October 2022. Polestar 4 is expected to follow in 2023, a smaller electric performance SUV coupe.
In 2024, the Polestar 5 electric performance 4-door GT is planned to be launched as the production evolution of Polestar Precept – the manifesto concept car Polestar released in 2020 that showcases the brand's future vision in terms of design, technology, and sustainability. As the company seeks to reduce its climate impact with every new model, Polestar aims to produce a truly climate-neutral car by 2030.
In early March 2022, Polestar revealed its second concept car, an electric performance roadster which builds on the design, technology and sustainability ambitions laid out by Precept and showcases the brand's vision for future sports cars. The hard-top convertible presents an evolution of the unique design language first shown by Precept and emphasises a dynamic driving experience. The concept further develops the focus on sustainability and technology, aiming towards greater circularity.

Documentary: Jim Clark – The Quiet Champion
Jim Clark was one of the most successful racing drivers of his era, and he remains one of the most successful of all time, with a win in the Indianapolis 500, two Formula One World Championships, and a slew of other race wins in sports car and touring car races.
Clark was tragically killed on the 7th of April 1968 in a high speed crash in a Formula Two race at Hockenheim in West Germany. It's widely believed that the accident was caused by a punctured rear tire or some other mechanical failure, whatever it was it sent him out of control into a line of trees at well over 100 mph and killed him instantly.
During his record-breaking Formula One career Jim Clark took 33 pole positions and 25 wins from 72 Grand Prix starts – a ratio of success that very few of the sport's greats can even come close to. He's remembered today as a kind-hearted racer who came from a humble farmhouse background to rise to the very top echelons of the world of motor racing.
This documentary gives an excellent and quite detailed look back at Clark's life including period footage and interviews with his friends, family members, girlfriends, and fellow racing drivers – all of whom clearly hold him in very high regard.

Q: Valid Arguments If i have the following arguments :
\begin{align}
 & a \to (b \lor c)\\
 & \lnot b \lor \lnot c \\
 & c \lor a \\
 & --- \\
 & b
\end{align}
How do i prove that its valid.
My thought was that if the conclusion is false, that is to say b = F, and we also assume that all the premises are True,
then $\lnot b$  is T. This leads us to say that ($\lnot b \lor \lnot c$) makes $\lnot c$ to be T and hence c = F
But to make $c \lor a$ True so must a = T. But this says otherwise in $a \to (b \lor c)$. That led me to think the argument is invalid. But my co-partner says its valid. Am a little confused here what is the meaning of being or not being valid.

A: Your approach will lead to finding a counterexample in this case.
For an argument to be valid, all possible truth assignments of the propositions ($a$, $b$, $c$) that lead to the premises being true must also lead to the conclusion(s) being true.  That is, $p_0 \land p_1 \land \ldots \land p_n \Rightarrow q_0 \land \ldots \land q_m$, where the $p_i$ are the premises and the $q_j$ are the conclusions, must hold for all truth values of the underlying propositions.
In the worst case, you can always just construct a truth table to decide the validity of a propositional argument (however, this doesn't provide much insight into why the argument is or isn't valid and you can't do this once quantifiers enter into the mix).  You can also use a deductive system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_system#Deductive_system) to prove an argument valid.  On the other hand, a counterexample suffices to prove that an argument isn't valid.
As barak manos points out above, the counterexample in this case is $a = F$ and $c = T$, since then we have that the first and third premises are true, and the second is true if and only if the conclusion is false.

Thailand Is Considering To Bring Back The 45-Day Visa Exemption Stamp
by Sebastian Powell
As reported by The Thaiger, the Thai Government is currently considering bringing back the 45-Day Visa Exemption stamp that was briefly in place from mid-2021.
Back then, the entry stamp received an additional 15 days as compensation for the two weeks quarantine / Sandbox period visitors had to overcome in order to travel throughout the kingdom freely.
Most visa-waiver eligible passports of western countries receive a 30-day entry stamp which can be extended once for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office. Extending the entry by an additional two weeks would be very beneficial to long-term travelers.
You can read more about this proposal from The Thaiger (see here).
Tourists might soon be granted a visa on arrival/visa exemption which allows them to stay in Thailand for a maximum of 45 days. Currently, passport holders of certain countries are granted 30 day visa exemptions on arrival, and others are granted visas on arrival with a maximum stay of 15 days.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) will propose the idea to the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) at the next CCSA meeting on August 19, according to TAT governor Yuthasak Supasorn.
The proposed extension would extend both visa exemptions on arrival and visas on arrival (VOA) to 45 days. The new policy would be effective from the date of approval until December 31, 2022, said the TAT.
For lists of countries eligible for a visa, and exemptions click here.
If the CCSA accepts the proposal, the TAT expects the average tourist to stay for an extra five days, spending 4,000 – 5,000 baht each per day, pumping a potential 20,000 extra into Thailand's economy for every trip made to Thailand.
TAT examined data from visa applicants at Thai embassies around the world and found that most tourists wanted to stay in Thailand longer than one month. The data might help convince the CCSA to give tourists what they want.
Yuthasak explained that the TAT also wants to get the tourist visa fee waived. At a meeting on July 18, Thailand's Prime Minister Prayut Cha-o-cha said the idea needs more consideration and input from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Immigration Office. …
I'm not exactly sure what this proposal has to do with Covid. The CCSA is (with the exception of the PM chair) a body of non-elected officials tasked with evaluating and handling Covid measures in the Kingdom. Are they now making policy about everything? Normally this is a decision to be made by Immigration, the Tourism Ministry and then voted on in the cabinet.
Thailand introduced a 45-day stamp in 2021 even though only for a brief period of a couple of months. The reasoning for this was that it used to be mandatory for visiting tourists to stay two weeks in quarantine or undergo the Sandbox monitoring scheme after they arrived following the peak Covid period. After this practice had been discontinued, the 45-day entry stamps reverted back to the original 30-day period.
Travelers can also apply for a 60-day tourist visa ahead of time which is of course, costly and requires uploading a variety of documents as most embassies have moved to the e-visa application system.
Right now, this proposal to re-introduce the 45-Day Entry Stamp for visitors to Thailand is still under consideration and will be decided on within the next few weeks.
According to the current proposal, the measure would be in place until December 31, 2022 so once again, it wouldn't be a long-term solution but just a temporary thing that would expire just four months from now. Giving just 30-days upon arrival is very unusual. Most western countries have a visa waiver agreement that allows a 90-day stay in other countries.

Reliance Industries Ltd's (RIL) reported premium of $6.5 per barrel over Singapore GRM was the highest in the past eight years, according to the firm, and exceeded Street estimates by a good margin.
Oil: inventory gains boost refiners' margins
2 min read . Updated: 09 Oct 2016, 11:12 PM IST Pallavi Pengonda
Gross refining margins got a boost on account of inventory gains, thanks to the rising oil price trend over the quarter
mint-asia mint-india-wire quarterly-earnings-report Quarterly earnings reportJune quarterOilpetroleumInventory gainsrefining firmsSingapore complex gross refining margin
Inventory gains were the flavour of the season for refining firms.
The Singapore complex gross refining margin (GRM), a measure of the difference between the per-barrel price of crude and the value of products distilled from it, dropped to $5 a barrel in the June quarter, compared with $7.7 a barrel in the March quarter.
Still, the reported GRMs of Indian refining firms on a sequential basis fared better. However, these GRMs got a boost on account of inventory gains, thanks to the rising oil price trend over the quarter.
Adjusted for refining inventory gains, the GRMs of oil marketing companies (OMCs) were in the range of $4-5 a barrel, according to Spark Capital Advisors (India) Pvt. Ltd.
OMCs include Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd (BPCL), Hindustan Petroleum Corp. Ltd (HPCL) and Indian Oil Corp. Ltd (IOC). OMCs' results beat Street expectations.
IOC's operating profit increased by one-third, compared with last year's June quarter. HPCL's operating profit rose 17% year-on-year, while BPCL's operating profit increased at a much slower pace of 3%.
GRM is a measure of profitability.
Most analysts expected RIL's GRM to be $9.5-10 per barrel. But RIL's GRM came in at $11.5 per barrel. The management indicated $2 per barrel can be attributed to gains from inventory, hedging and risk management. RIL's stand-alone revenue fell 19%, reflecting the decline in the broader crude oil prices, while net profit rose about 19%. That was because of a 628 basis points jump in operating profit margin, a 3% decline in depreciation cost and an 18.5% rise in "other income." A basis point is 0.01%.
Meanwhile, oil producers have had it tough what with oil prices languishing. As expected, net price realization of Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd and Oil India Ltd declined 22% and 25% year-on-year, respectively.
Oil marketing stocks have outperformed the Sensex so far this fiscal, while RIL stock has underperformed. However, RIL shares have performed well after the announcement of the imminent commercial launch of services by its telecom unit at its annual general meeting in early September. Singapore GRMs also strengthened in September, which helped sentiment. Citi Research forecast RIL's FY16-19 consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda (including Jio), growing at a 15% compounded annual growth rate versus -1% over FY11-15.

Over the past few years, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) has entrenched itself in many large companies' IT policies and become a part of their organisational culture. CIOs acknowledge that BYOD has enabled the workforce to become more mobile, productive and efficient, yet they also have nagging concerns about information security.
They worry about devices with important corporate data getting lost or stolen. Information threats are also multiplying, with nasty new forms of malware such as ransomware, adding to the well-known dangers of Trojans, viruses, phishing attacks and so on. With data privacy laws and regulations such as the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI) prescribing tough standards for data protection, CIOs know that they cannot take any chances.
Yet any attempt to rollback BYOD and dictate what devices users should use at work would harm the business's productivity and incite rebellion in the workforce. Introducing ever-tighter restrictions and policies would have the same effect, and perhaps even give users incentive to manage their own IT needs outside the watch of the IT department.
The appropriate response for IT is to recognise the risks of BYOD and address them with solutions that are as unobtrusive to the end-user as possible. Mobile device management (MDM) closes some of the security gaps, but it's not enough on its own to keep all the organisation's data safe.
Organisations should be looking at how they can use cloud-based data protection solutions to ensure security of corporate data on personal devices. In particular, they must consider backup solutions that protect data on endpoints, including smartphones and tablets. They also need a data loss prevention (DLP) strategy, including encryption and remote wipe capabilities.
Anytime, anywhere, any device data access: So that users aren't tempted to use personal Dropbox or OneDrive accounts to store files and data while working from home or the road, the solution should give them instant access to their data from all devices. A user should be able to create a document on his corporate-issued laptop and then edit it from his personal smartphone, with all data is constantly in sync and protected.
Easy classification of corporate and personal data: A complete platform will allow organisations to separate users' corporate and personal data, so that they can backup and remotely wipe only corporate data. This ensures that corporate assets are protected while giving users the privacy they desire.
DLP with remote wipe: So that lost or stolen personal devices don't become a source of worry for the business, the platform should allow remote removal of corporate data. It should eliminate the potential of data breach and leakage by monitoring the location of employee-owned devices and allowing data to be wiped from those that are lost or stolen.
Strong encryption: Only the organisation should have access to the encryption key so that no one else can access it.
Backup policy configuration: It should be simple to automate backups in a way that is seamless to the end user. The solution should have granular device-based controls for backup schedules, data types, preserved system settings, user access and privacy rules.
Such a solution means IT always knows who is accessing corporate data, which devices they are using, and where they are located. All corporate data created or modified on personal devices is backed up and accessible on the central server. This balances the productivity gains from BOYD while eliminating the possibility of data loss or breach.

Mystery of Missing 'Narwhal' in Clare is Solved
#MARINE WILDLIFE - The mystery disappearance of an allegedly rare whale carcass from a Co Clare beach last week has been solved.
As The Irish Times reports, Clare County Council admitted yesterday that the "badly decomposed whale" was removed from Liscannor beach "due to public health concerns".
The vanishing of the creature had been a source of puzzlement to the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (IWDG), after scientists dispatched to examine the carcass found no trace on arrival.
Experts had been hoping to verify whether the carcass was indeed that of a narwhal, an Arctic cetacean renowned for its unicorn-like tusk.It would have been the first recorded sighting of a narwhal in Irish waters.
Max Halliday from Shannon, who reported the find to the IWDG, said he was "convinced that what I saw is a narwhal. It had the long tusk protruding from its head, but its head was badly damaged. I am absolutely mad that I didn't take a photo."
According to the Irish Independent, the IWDG had appealed to those responsible for removing the whale to get in touch so the remains could be transferred to the Natural History Museum.
But it has since emerged that the creature was taken to a rendering plant in Derry by a team contracted by the council.
A spokesperson for Clare County Council said no remains of a tusk were found in the removal operation.

A veteran of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade speaks out.
Asserting that the Brigade "answered to the Communist chain of command, which included the GPU," Herrick recounted how he was indirectly warned after he mildly criticized the Party. As he was recovering from a throat wound, he was taken from his hospital bed and "ordered to accompany a GPU execution squad, and to stand among them, unarmed, as the squad coolly put to death three Spanish leftists." But that was not his only startling revelation. The other involved the way Brigade Commander Oliver Law died in 1937.
Law was billed by the Communists as the first African-American soldier to command an integrated unit, and they peddled the story for years that he died heroically leading his men in a charge against fascist lines. Herrick said otherwise. He asserted that Law's own men killed him for incompetence and cowardice. Herrick heard this story second-hand from his "best friends in Spain," Brigade soldiers Doug Roach (who was also black) and Joe Gordon, both of whom claimed to have taken part in the murder.
This assertion prodded the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade — who for years had maintained that they were heroic defenders of democracy, and not tools of Stalin — into a wheezy protest. For Berman, it was a time-capsule moment. As they "thrust their faces into mine and shouted and shook their fists," Berman could imagine what they had been like when they were "disciplined liars" and haters for Stalin in their heyday, the Thirties and Forties.
For Herrick, though, it was "old home week," a continuation of their attacks on him ever since he very publicly left the Party over the Hitler–Stalin non-aggression pact in 1939. Thereafter, he earned their wrath with his attacks on the Brigade as willing accomplices of the Communist secret police, who were killing off anyone who criticized the Party.
By virtue of the sheer venom directed at Herrick, Berman designated him "an American Orwell." This was apt. Herrick, like Orwell, became a fervent anti-Communist after witnessing the heresy hunts in Spain. Neither man ever stopped telling what really happened in Spain. Neither ever stopped reminding readers that Stalinism was another form of fascism.
While other children wanted to grow up to be president or a sports star, Herrick wanted to be a Communist executioner.
But Herrick came from a much more revolutionary background than the middle-class, public school–educated Orwell, and this would situate him closer to what was really happening in Spain. Born 100 years ago in Trenton, N.J., Herrick, in his memoir, Jumping the Line (1988), recounted his political journey from "red-diaper baby" to fervent anti-Stalinist. His parents, Jews who had fled Czarist Russia, were members of the American Communist Party. Above his crib hung portraits of Lenin. While other children wanted to grow up to be president or a sports star, Herrick wanted to be a Communist executioner, killing off opponents of the Bolshevik Revolution. By the age of 13, he was active in the Young Pioneers. As an adult, he was a dutiful Communist, fighting Jim Crow in the South and engaging in picket lines. His duties sometimes took a thuggish turn, as when he joined in smashing up Trotskyist and Socialist meetings.
But Herrick didn't heed the advice and even dared to criticize Communist policy. While he was recuperating from the throat wound, he made the mistake of expressing these sentiments to his then girlfriend, a nurse. She promptly reported him; that's when he was taken from his bed to watch the execution that haunted him for the rest of his life.
Although he spent the rest of his life fighting the myth promulgated by the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade (VALB) that they were liberals defending democracy in Spain (he even went so far as to reluctantly testify before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee in the McCarthy days), Herrick didn't document what he knew until years later, with the publication of the novel Hermanos! (1969). In many ways, this is the fictional counterpart to Orwell's Homage to Catalonia, the latter an autobiographical account of the British writer's time as a soldier in Spain. Herrick also criticizes the Communists, through the voices of two characters, Jake Starr and Joe Garms. Through Starr, a hard-line Communist sanctioned by Moscow to execute heretics, Herrick shows the reader the terror tactics of Stalin. Through Garms, we are witness to the military incompetence of Communist-appointed commanders, who are well versed in the dialectic but know nothing of military strategy; this choosing of commanders on the basis of politics causes dissension and criticism in the ranks (commissars are nicknamed "comic stars"). But those who openly criticized them were assured a bullet in the back of the head.
By the story's end, Starr has changed so much that he can no longer continue his work. In a reversal of Winston Smith, he now loves a woman more than the Party. Getting her and four American soldiers out of Spain and thus out of range of the NKVD, Starr retains his anti-fascism and seeks a more honorable way of expressing it by fighting at the front. But this only forestalls the inevitable; his name now on a death warrant, he is executed when he tries to leave Spain.
It is apparent why the VALB hated Herrick so. Like Orwell, he was an unwelcome truth-teller. His revolutionary background made it difficult to portray him as a Quisling. His anti-Communism was problematic for them; unlike many, he did not leap to the right. Nor was he a McCarthyite; early on, he denounced the senator as a "prick" who was destroying the anti-Communist cause. While in an audience mourning the dead senator, Herrick was the only one who refused to stand and observe a moment of silence.
Still, his old comrades tried. Even today, years after his own death, his version of Oliver Law's death is still being attacked. This time around the attacker is Professor Grover Furr, who is perhaps, apart from Vladimir Putin, the foremost current defender of Josef Stalin.

This body of work explores the processes of Nerikomi and Kintsugi for the creation of unique and decorative ceramic objects. Nerikomi focuses full attention on the manipulated porcelain clay. Coloured with stains and oxides, and using hand-building techniques, patterns are created within the material. Kintsugi, embraces the imperfections that can occur during the processes involved in the construction and firing. My fascination with both techniques is not only that the clay and pattern combine to become the material of the object, but also, the true character and materiality of the clay can be exploited and brought to centre stage. When manipulated, the plasticity of the clay encourages movement, forming naturally soft lines, which appear to drift in and out of focus within the designs. Kintsugi becomes a precious scar, reminding us that strength and beauty exists in fragility.
The focus of my work has been the compelling materiality of the clay and my connection to it. Clay is a beautiful substance with which to work, malleable, compliant and sensual. It possesses a will of its own and so the process between maker and clay becomes a conversation, an intimate dialogue. To completely immerse oneself in making by hand is a very human and enormously gratifying and valuable experience.


ToddTyszka.com | Why This Site?
This site, despite the domain name (toddtyszka.com) is not at all for self-gratification. The Bible says, "This is what the LORD says: Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD" (Jeremiah 9:23, 24). "But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord (1 Corinthians 1:27-31)." The only purpose of this website is for me to, in a personal, organized and interesting way, help you get to know your Creator and the One you can spend the rest of eternity with.
I started to put some writings on an older version of this website and I was amazed how many people found the writings and wrote me. All of the emails I received were positive and it opened up the opportunity to help a lot of people. One of my writings in particular, "Seeking God's Face" drew a lot of attention and when I did a Google search on the subject, I found I was at the top with only a few sites talking about it at all. A site like this is a rarity and I decided to use my gifts, my knowledge and teaching abilities to educate people and hopefully lead people into a thriving relationship with Jesus Christ.
According to experts, we are bombarded with an average of 35,000 messages every single day. Everyone is trying to get your attention. I encourage you to filter out the noise and focus on the Word of God (the Holy Bible). Unfortunately a lot of the messages we have heard aren't true. Adolf Hitler once said, "What luck for rulers that men do not think." I encourage you to take your time going through this site and to really think about these topics.
On a personal note, I believe God clearly called me to make this website and that my life has been a prepraration. I have tried to write as clearly and simply as possible, so that everyone can understand what are often difficult concepts to comprehend. This website represents what I completely base my life upon, which is the Word of God. You will see from this website that we can have complete confidence in the Bible. I have thoroughly studied and understand the minor "errors" in the Bible, and I also know that with the tens of thousands of manuscripts and fragments which all essentially say the same, we know what was originally written with certainty, and we can have complete faith that it is the very Word of God to us. The Bible has stood the test of time and not one thing has been proven false in it, unlike every other religious text. In addition to the logic and reasons presented in this site, I know Christianity is true because God's Spirit lives in me and assures me that it is true. I understand that sounds subjective but if you are sincerely seeking God, God can give you that same assurance that He is real and Chrsitianity is true. If you don't find the reasons and logic in this site convincing, that's my fault, not God's. Regardless of what you think about my site or my arguments for Christianity, God loves you more than you can imagine, yet holds you ultimately accountable. God has revealed Himself to you every day throughout your lifetime. You either desire Him or want nothing to do with Him (Mt 6:24), and your eternity will be sealed either way the moment you die. I do my best to present the "whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27)" but ultimately you will have to deal with your Creator, the Holy God Himself, and not with arguments. At the moment of your death, which could be this very moment, your eternity will be sealed based on your relationship with Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:21-23). Time is running out. Let's assume that the average person dies at 70 years old. If you are 20 years old, you have just 2,500 weekends left to live. If you have turned 30, you have 2,000 weekends left until the day you die. If you are 40 years old, you have only 1,500 weekends left. If you are 50, then you have just 1,000 weekends, and if you are 60, you have a mere 500 weekends left until the day death comes to you. Tomorrow is not promised to you, so I encourage you to experience a genuine conversion right now.
If you do not know the God who created you and have a personal relationship with him, I encourage you to change that right now. God loves you more than you could ever imagine and He has been waiting for you to open the door and let him into your life. However, He is perfectly holy and your prayers cannot reach him as long as you are in your sin. Isaiah 59:1 says "Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities has separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that He will not hear." You must first accept the forgiveness that Jesus provides through His death on the cross. He was the perfect sacrifice, which allows you to come to have a relationship with Him.
Isaiah 57:15 says, "For this is what the high and lofty One says - he who lives forever, whose name is Holy: 'I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.'"
"Dear God, I confess that I have sinned against you by violating your Law. I know that you are perfectly holy and righteous, and if you were to judge me now based on your Law, I would be guilty. But because you are rich in mercy and have provided a Savior, I can be forgiven through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I ask you to forgive me for all of my sins. I surrender my life to Jesus and trust Him alone for my salvation. I now turn from all of my sinful ways (tell God the sins you think of). I ask you now to change my life and be my Lord and Savior, for I have decided from this day forever, to follow you. In Jesus Name, Amen."
Now it is essential that you find a good Bible-teaching church where you will grow in your faith with the help of others (Hebrews 10:25). Buy a Bible (if you don't have one) in a translation you can understand, for example, the New International Version (NIV) or the New King James Version (NKJV), and start to read it daily. I recommend you start in the New Testament in the book of John. Also, please let me know that you have made this decision by contacting me! I also encourage you to tell others about this website and if you are a believer, make a website of your own! It doesn't have to be this elaborate and you do not have to design it at all. You just have to provide the content and someone can help you build it and get it on the Internet. People need to hear how you found Christ and be persuaded (2 Corinthians 5:11) to know Him personally (Mt 7:21-23). A website stands as a testament to who you are and most importantly, a witness to who Christ is, and what He has done for us. Like baptism, it is a public confession of an inward work, for all to see and hopefully, they will know Christ better through it.
"To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy — to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen (Jude 24 NIV)."
Psalm 71:17 - "Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds. Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come."

The Newman's of Barwick Park - Adam Busiakiewicz.
The Newman's of Barwick Park.
February 26, 2018 Nick Cox
Portrait of Grace Newman of Barwick Park by Thomas Beach. Currently with a private dealer.
Written and researched by Adam Busiakiewicz, Art Historian.
A month ago I undertook some research on two Georgian portraits for a client who had purchased them from an American auction house. Needless to say, the identity and attribution of the pair had been lost by the time they came up for sale. After a few hours work in the various London art libraries, the identity of the enigmatic sitters began to emerge from the books. The curious follies in the background of the paintings, a feature of many fine Georgian landscape gardens and parks, played an integral part in the re identification of the couple.
With kind permission from Nick Cox at Period Portraits, here are the notes I composed for the pair;
Thomas Beach (Milton Abbas 1738 – 1806 Dorchester)

Until recently, the identity of this remarkable pair of Georgian portraits had been lost. They depict Somerset landowners John Newman Esq. and his wife Grace Newman of Barwick, Yeovil. (1) Although little is known about their lives, their identities are confirmed by the distinctive and unmistakable follies depicted in the backgrounds of their portraits.
Follies were fashionable architectural embellishments to gardens and parks from the sixteenth century onwards. By the eighteenth century, wealthy Georgian landowners erected these pieces of architectural fancy for both reasons of pleasure and morbidity. Not only would these gothic monuments, sham castles, pyramids and classical temples provide focal points for landscape gardens, they would in many examples reflect the personality of the architect and patron freed from rules of taste and tradition. Often built with the passing of time in mind, these structures also reflect the transience of life on earth.
The follies of Barwick have always presented somewhat of a puzzle to historians. In the portrait of John Newman, we see the so-called Jack the Treacle Eater folly, described by writers on the subject as "as fine as any in the country and for enigma cannot be surpassed". (1) Local legend claims that it was erected to house a famous runner who lived inside the tower of the folly. This Jack is said to have ran messages to and from London trained on treacle alone. Both the portrait and surviving structure bear witness to a statue of Mercury on top of the cylindrical cone, a feature that was often used to mark out the boundaries of estates.
The portrait of Grace Newman depicts another of the follies in the estate, known as the Rose Tower or the Barwick Park Cone. This marvellous hollow stone structure, measuring around twenty one metres, has been described as unique in Britain. (2) The hollow cone stands on a tripod consisting of three gothic arches, and tapers to a slender point on which ends with a ball finial. Despite previous suggestions that it may have served as a dovecot, it has rightly been described as "a highly functional structure designed for no function that has yet materialized" (3). Although both of these follies had been previously suggested to be the work of George Messiter in the 1820s, these portraits confirm the earlier date of c.1770. The surviving grotto at Barwick, which Pevsner attributed to this phase of Georgian work likened to those carried out at Stowe, is equally as fascinating and mysterious. (4) The piece of paper held in John Newman's hand, which reads '1768 Survey…', indicates that these portraits were likely to have been commissioned to celebrate his improvements to the park and house at Barwick.
Barbara Jones, the authority on the folly in Britain, is the first to have identified the couple as John and Grace Newman. She was shown these exact portraits before the second edition of her book was published in 1974. (5) Her note suggests that they were both still in the possession of descendants of Newman family at this point. The Georgian building at Barwick was remodelled in the 1820s, and the family fell into financial problems towards the end of the nineteenth century. The house and follies still stand to this very day.
Although the pair are unsigned, there is little doubt in regards to the authorship of painter Thomas Beach. In exuberant painterly style and composition, they show a considerable indebtedness to Sir Joshua Reynolds, with whom Beach was a pupil in London from 1760 till around 1762. Both Newman portraits were produced during the final years 1768-70, before the painter moved to the fashionable spa town of Bath. A portrait of Mary Newman by Beach, signed and dated 1768, perhaps John Newman's eighty-four year old mother, was sold Sotheby's, New York, 4 June 1987, lot 130.
During this early period of his career, Beach tended almost exclusively to patrons local to his native Dorset and Somerset. (6) Beach's greatest patrons during this early period were the Helyar family of Coker Court, of whom Beach produced a staggering twelve portraits in total. The Helyars were neighbours to the Newmans of Barwick, and are separated by a less than two and a half miles. Beach's portrait of William Helyar (d.1820) captures the architectural aspirations of his proud sitter, showing him holding a finely drawn plan of the new wing at Coker Court. The attention to architecture is equally as important in the Newman portraits, and points towards the pride and ambition of the patrons who commissioned them.
The pair sold at auction in London in May 2017.
Written and researched by Adam Busiakiewicz.
(1) They married in 1767. A surviving deed (DD/HK/54) explains that Grace Newman, nee Hoskins, was the sister to William Hoskins of Haselbury Plucknett, Somerset.

Spider monkeys are endangered, and so is their habitat. Monitoring the rainforest where these creatures live will help protect them.
Spider monkeys occupy relatively large living space (90 to 250 hectares per group) and consume mostly ripe fruits which requires a large area of healthy forests. These have made their survival more difficult.
The main purpose of the project is to preserve the habitats of the brown-headed spider monkey to maintain the forest dynamics as well as to bring up this issue to public. The brown-headed spider monkey is on the Critically Endangered species list according to IUCN Red Book of Mammals of Ecuador. Study shows that the species is extremely important due to their large size (around 9 kg) and the long moving distance per day (around 500 m to 5 km). Several tree species depend solely on these spider monkeys to spread their seeds and regenerate.
UAV was used to acquire large amount of images in a short period of time. Pix4Dmapper was used to generate an accurate DSM and orthomosaic of the mapped forest regions. The orthomosaic and the forest volume calculated based on the DSM were then used for further habitats analysis.
Images were taken using a Fixed Wing UAV- E384 by Event38 unmanned systems, equipped with a Canon SX 260HS. Four 250-hectare and one 150-hectare blocks were planned for each flight. Due to climatological conditions (it is one of the rainiest areas over Ecuador more than 6000 mm /year), this project can only be executed in July or August where the rainy season is over.
The project was done in just two days. Very large datasets were obtained and therefore high processing capacity workstation was used. In order to cover more area in less time, the team flew the UAV at least at 250 m over home level to reach a GSD of around 9 or 10 cm.
It is usually difficult to obtain good results of dense vegetation regions using photogrammetry. Results were quite amazing. The point cloud is truly valuable to estimate carbon stock over pacific tropical forests.
An orthomosaic was generated with around 8 cm of GSD, covering an area of 1000 hectares. An accurate and low-noise DSM is critical in order to calculate the forest volume.
Reconstruction from the UAV-acquired images allows us to retrieve spatial information of inaccessible areas. The high resolution topography (DSM) and orthomosaic of the dense forest area now makes the analysis easier and more accurate.
With traditional surveying method, these kinds of project would not be achieved in such a short period of time. Also, the huge savings on the cost is a big advantage since now the clients can invest more in other conservation activities.

It seems like JNI part of application was compiled with Java in different architecture (probably 64 bit) comparing to C part (probably 32 bit). I used to have such error an that was the reason. I've switched configuration to Java 32 bit and that solved problem.

Liquid Swords [The Chess Box] - Exceptionally Good, Based on 3 Critics
Pitchfork - 100
Based on rating 10/10
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology will have many great minds gracing its lecture halls in 2012, but 45-year old rapper Gary Grice, aka GZA, will almost certainly be the only one who actually claims "Genius" as his job title. Yeah, the accomplishments of MIT alumni in the fields of genetics, engineering, and computer technology are certainly impressive, but are any of those fuckin' with Liquid Swords? When I read literature on the aforementioned topics, I seem to recognize only the proper nouns and maybe the prepositions, so in the interest of confirming the greatness of Liquid Swords, I'll defer to someone who had a lot more experience with genius than I do: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. " And really, there's hardly a hip-hop record, Wu-Tang or otherwise, that demonstrates how knowledge is power in more easily understandable terms than Liquid Swords: You're certainly not on GZA's level, but he rarely goes over your head.
BBC Music
Their review was very positive
Expanded edition of what is perhaps the most celebrated Wu-Tang album to date. Adam Kennedy 2012 Among the dizzying dozens of albums spewed forth by the Wu-Tang Clan, its members and legions of affiliated artists over the past two decades, Liquid Swords is, to this day, championed in unequalled reverential terms. Approaching adulthood, celebrating its 17th anniversary later this year, GZA's 1995 watermark is ripe for re-evaluation.
Often acclaimed as the best Wu-Tang solo project of all, Liquid Swords cemented the Genius/GZA's reputation as the best pure lyricist in the group -- and one of the best of the '90s. Rich in allusions and images, his cerebral, easy-flowing rhymes are perhaps the subtlest and most nuanced of any Wu MC, as underscored by his smooth, low-key delivery. The Genius' eerie calm is a great match for RZA's atmospheric production, which is tremendously effective in this context; the kung fu dialogue here is among the creepiest he's put on record, and he experiments quite a bit with stranger sounds and more layered tracks.

Turlock homicide suspect linked to Ceres
A suspect in last week's brazen Turlock homicide is linked to a Ceres weapons charge.
Two Turlock men were arrested for the murder of a 21-year-old Amritpal Sandhu of Modesto. His bullet bullet-riddled body was found slumped over the wheel of his car on Main Street in Turlock early Wednesday morning, Nov. 6. The suspects are Pardeep Singh, 21, of Turlock, and Kultar Singh Dhatt, 22, of Turlock.
Singh was arrested on suspicion of murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and another weapon related charge stemming from an investigation by the Ceres Police Department, said Turlock Police spokesperson Officer Mayra Lewis.
At 1:25 a.m. the California Highway Patrol received an emergency call from Sandhu who stated he was being shot at as he drove southbound on Highway 99 near Taylor Road. About one minute after the call had been transferred by the CHP to Turlock police, reports of shots fired in the area of E. Canal Drive started coming into the Turlock dispatch.
The first officers at the scene found an Acura Infiniti that had run up on the curb in front of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church at E. Main Street and N. Minaret Avenue. Sandhu was found behind the driver's wheel with three gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators did not elaborate what led them to the two suspects.
Dhatt was arrested on suspicion of murder.
Both men are being held at the Stanislaus County Jail without bail.

Campus missionary celebrates 40 years of service
Georgia's The Christian Index
College and Career, Georgia, Latest News
Penny Chesnut, front center, Baptist Campus Minister at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, poses with other Georgia campus ministers at a retirement party.

Penny Chesnut has seen some unusual sights during her four decades serving in Baptist Collegiate Ministries at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.
She recalled the day she walked into the BCM building on the Tifton, Georgia campus and saw a young man bathing his chicken in the kitchen sink to get it ready for a class project. Then there was the time a student thought the BCM a good place to bleach a deer's head, again for a class project.
Penny has stories aplenty to tell of the years she spent at the agricultural college. Most center around the lives of students who God has touched.
'I love kids'
Penny has been at Abraham Baldwin since 1978, starting as a co-advisor before being hired by the Georgia Baptist Mission Board in 1988. When asked why she's been doing this for so long, Penny gives a simple answer. "It's because I love the kids," she explains.
"Loving Jesus, loving students, it's all the same thing for Penny," said Emory Lussi, Abraham Baldwin alumnus and current BCM volunteer.
The secret to Penny's philosophy for reaching out to and ministering to the students at Abraham Baldwin is just as simple. "People are people," she said. "They need to feel important to someone and have people invest in their lives. That takes time."
That core guiding principle has led to many changed lives. Penny recalls one young man who came to Abraham Baldwin and began attending every discipleship meeting. Despite his regular attendance, he did not have a godly attitude.
After one such meeting, Penny approached and asked him directly if he was saved.
"You have no fruit, and you don't seem to like people," she told him.
The young man became upset and left, but he later came back and acknowledged that Penny was right.
"I believe," he said, "but I know I don't act like it."
From that point on, the young man began to act and live differently. He is now in seminary, one of seven Abraham Baldwin students formally training for a career in ministry.
For Penny, the cause of the change is obvious: "God got ahold of that boy's life."
Lasting impact
Joshua Wilkinson, current BCM president at Abraham Baldwin, said that Penny's love for students is felt by all.
"When I met Mrs. Penny four years ago, I never would have imagined how much of an impact the Lord would have her make on my life," he said. "Countless Abraham Baldwin students and alumni have had their lives changed through her ministry and heart for the Lord."
During her time serving, Penny has formed relationships with local churches to come alongside her in ministering to students.
"I have never seen someone love students the way Penny Chesnut does," said Aaron Frasier, pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church in nearby Chula. "She has always been available to them. She opens her home up to them. She is always urging them to receive Christ, if they haven't, imploring them to turn from sin, and exhorting them to share their faith with others. We can all learn much from Penny on how to invest in the next generation."
'Large shoes to fill'
Ree Reinhardt, the incoming Abraham Baldwin BCM campus minister who is taking Penny's position in 2023, knows she has some large shoes to fill.
"When I look at Penny's ministry through the BCM — starting in 1978 — I am astounded," Reinhardt said. "It is amazing to witness what God accomplishes through her in BCM events, one-on-one conversations with students, and the discipling of the Abraham Baldwin BCM leadership team.
"None of that happened overnight but is the fruit of decades of Penny's focused, fervent prayer and relationship building," she noted. "We all love Penny, and we all love to watch Penny do what God called her to do — point others to Christ."
