Ethics and the Standards Uprising Moderator: Ken Gold, RPLS 1
Abstract: In the late 1940's through the 1970's, Texas, generally, and the nation as a whole, saw a professional conscience stirring among surveying practitioners. That stirring focused on unethical to sometimes criminal conduct by persons holding themselves out to be land surveyors. Registration had not been enough. Everything from simply incompetent to grossly fraudulent, so called "practice" endangered the public's valued holdings. There were no uniform standards. Little to no investigative force. Little to nothing by which competence could be measured. Often closure alone was the criteria. The Texas profession, at first hesitant to act, decided to identify proper surveying procedures and create plateaus of practice from which its land surveyors shall not deviate. This presentation is a summary of how we got here. And why Ethics played a big role! 2
3 Except for LSLS's and PE's, before, during and just after WWII, virtually anyone with a transit (or compass) and tape could be a "surveyor." To differentiate the competent from the incompetent was difficult. And often too late.
4 This is the story of how the Texas Surveyors Association, urged by conscientious members, came to forge ahead and develop a series of voluntary professional standards, training aides and the basis for TBPLS mandatory minimum standards... It is the story of our Manual of Practice.
Dedicated practitioners debated on how to correct unprofessional situations. Business challenges such as; Unfair competition, Incompetent practitioners, Incomplete to Illegal surveys, Part-timers with borrowed equipment, Honest, but unskilled practitioners and... Those that didn't know... they didn't know. Not just a Texas Problem! 5
Surveyor Registration Long process... hard work Problems lingered Many Registrants contributed Grandfathering: Honest recommendations Few regulations... One part in.... Practices varied across state Surveyors complained Public complained! Similar National concerns! HISTORIC UPDATE 6
7 All across the USA, Survey Quality Complaints: Closures unattained Butcher-paper plats Unadjusted instruments Mended and kinked chains Untrained employees New equipment miss-used Registration qualifications varied
8 Storms on the Horizon! Voices of displeasure!
At the National level it was nearing the roar of a student uprising! SO! Time to address the issues! 9
The National Scene: American Congress on Surveying and Mapping Conscience of Nation's surveyors ACSM founded 1941 Adopted Technical Standards for Property Surveys, 1946. Texas Section ACSM, early 1950's Quality concerns permeated Title Insurance Co's. Ethical challenges demanded solutions. 10
First ALTA Standards, 1962 Title Company enthusiasm onboard. A major factor in surveyor's future! ACSM and American Title Assoc. formed joint committee to create... 11
Then in mid 1970's, ACSM created (NSPS) the National Society of Professional Surveyors. Every state in the Country invited to send a representative... a "Governor". They came and returned enthusiastically! ALTA standards slow to spread Nationally. Professional-quality surveys still rarity. Major effort still required. Time and dedication. 12
Some surveyors were true professionals, well educated, understood duties. Some trained "apprentices." Some "apprentices" learned. Some learned more. Some learned less... and... taught others. And some of the learned... taught others. 13
B egan path of diminishing returns. And subject to the Profession's... FEAST AND FAMINE CYCLES! But "Governors" kept in touch! IT WAS A PROFESSIONAL, ETHICAL CONNECTION! 14
Local TSA Chapters formed, +/- 1960's Several Chapters developed "standards" Good intention but little coordination. "Standards issue" spread among many states. Studies led to varied "Standards" development. Some States reluctant to share. Some shared willingly; even offering to help. 15
16 Then came the big Questions... Do Texas surveyors really need Standards??? Would they support surveying standards? If so, could: surveyor to client relations improve? public relations get better? inter-professional communications advance? quality of survey-products increase? the entire profession be better managed? the lesser competent get improved guidance? It will be a long, winding path, but worth it!
17 A. Protection of the public, B. Professional harmony, C. Quality expectation, D. Communication, E. Problem Solving, F. Protection of the Professional? G. But can surveyors afford them? Could Standards actually offer better...
Many TSA Member Attitudes Mixed bag ! Real Professionals don't need Standards! "Paper Standards" not enforceable. Too many differences in Texas... Who is to say what is good practice? Public won't pay for text-book surveys! Ain't never gonna work! Will be tough assignment!! 18
19 Developing Standards in Texas??? Got about as much chance as a cow riding a surfboard! So TSA took a chance... and sent out a Questionnaire... Members replied, "Create some Standards."
20 State of Texas Surveying Affairs: Quality surveying practices, too diverse! Standards were non existent or unenforced. What constitutes "good surveying practice"? Opinions varied as much as the surveys... ALTA specifications seldom used... And mostly abused!
21 Reports on Surveying in areas across the state: Some "grandfathered-in" were just "measurers;" Many "practitioners" knew no boundary law; Many had not even heard of Stafford v. King; Some only surveyed as, "We always done it this way!" Pretty easy; just measure line and put in a stob! Don't get excited, 'round here, we all do it like that. Not sure what is meant by that "dignity of calls." Whut it says on his deed is whut he gets! Yet surviving among them were many solid practitioners!
SURVEY STANDARDS FOR TEXAS 1975, TSA President "Skeet" Mitchell convinced of need, APPOINTED COMMITTEE! Committee of seven members from geographically diverse areas of state. Chair given broad powers to get it done. Where best to start? Research, just as for a land survey. What exists? What fits... or can be fit? 22 Or retro-fit!
23 And the seven members came... from the forests, brambles and swamps in East Texas; from big and bigger oil patches in Texas and pipe liners across the state; from big city hustle and bustle and the Capitol City. They gathered, began their chore. AND Each knew best how to make a survey!
1st committee meeting... Exercise in chaos! Lasted two 12+ hour-weekend days! Committee: Big communication problems. Entering the unknown areas. Language barrier: Speaking "Texas- survey-eze" difficult for committee. Really needed to tighten the string! 24
Tex-as co-or-din-ate-Sys-tem Many interruptions to define terms Interruptions and explanations took up valuable time. A "signer" or an interpreter was needed! Ya got some other name for that? 25
Developing Surveying Standards started a long, hard trip!... With many discussions... Debates... Mild to volatile... Arguments... and even Threats of violence! A major ethical challenge to continue! 26
27 Ethical Tongue Tying A learning experience... Persuasions over explosions; Expressives without Expletives; Suggest: propose, think, reason and consider; Avoid the derogatory: stupid, dumb, ignorant; Never insult, degrade, slur, impugn a relative. Smile a lot! Or grin and bear it!
28 The ethics we know And the ethics we practice, Are sometimes at an opposite end; For as hard as we try, 'tis hard not to lie, Some rules are... Too easy to bend
Many surveying terms common; many not! Major turning point arrived! In hind-sight, so simple! After much debate, agreed to rely on ACSM "Dictionary" 29
Agreed to accept statutory laws. (Some practices were not only unprofessional, unethical, but unlawful!) Trespassing Safety Property damage Unregistered County Surveyors Proclaiming land ownership Quota "surveying" Deed layouts Other Issues 30
Defining the Profession What do professional land surveyors do? Can projects be accurately identified? Do most chores have identifiable steps? HMMM? Such a novel idea! 31
Other States with Standards only delineated land surveys. Standards Committee asked all states and received Standards from nine: Arkansas, California, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Maine, Missouri, New York, and Wisconsin. North Carolina and Wisconsin were excellent patterns; Almost adopted. 32 Lotsa reading and studying!
Some Texas surveyors did 100% boundary work. Many others only 30% boundary and 70% other: route surveys, mixed construction, topographic, control... all associated with boundary work. What Texas Land Surveyors Do (From original questionnaire) 33
After countless combative "discussions" Standards Committee Finds a Motto: Identify what needs to be done; Not how to do it! Thereby the Surveyor applies Professional Methodology to satisfy the Specifications. 34
35 Qualities needed for Standards Execution And an ethical, professional conscience. Satisfying Standards will require... Professional know-how! Professional understanding! Professional ability!
But there was more... Committee found: most surveying assignments, jobs, etc. have numerous common applications. Such applications grouped in Specifications. Those Specs identified, defined common application's elements such as Bearings, Monuments, Closure, Records Search, Maps and Measurements. 36
Procedure had required EXTREME ethical conduct, debate and compromise. Again and again. Committee learned lessons of tact and diplomacy never before encountered. Chair challenged as referee and judge. An explosion of issues and values. 37
38 Disputes were common. Voices were raised... Some spoke over others. Tempers flared. Even a walk-out was threatened! Nerve ends were bared!
39 Members were challenged with homework. Written papers to clarify, support opinions. Mid-1970's No email or instant messaging, few FAX options. Snail mail or telephone All took time to create and get response. And at personal expense.
40 No matter how Committee looked at their chore... each member saw it differently! And each knew his viewpoint was best !
Things surveyors do... Often called: An "assignment", or Some "work", or A "contract", or A "project", or A "job". 41
42 Common things in profession often named or called by different terms. Committee finally chose to develop Manual of Practice in two main parts: STANDARDS and SPECIFICATIONS Standards define terms and conditions; Specifications define certain assignments.
Standards Committee Takes a Stand And we'll call Assignments... " Categories" ! Is Professional Surveying sum of many parts? Should Standards cover total practice? Are many parts used in different jobs? Can parts be identified? Can parts be grouped into different jobs? YES! 43
A unit dividing major professional services of a Registered Professional Land Surveyor into defined segments of similar nature, procedure and practice. A Category is comprised of one or several services or products that are closely allied. A Route Survey is a Category. A Land Title Survey is a different Category. Each Category has specific requirements.* * Manual of Practice, 1 st edition,1976 to 12 th 2013 And a Category is: 44
45 Perseverance Prevailed The blueprint was made... Now the mold had to be cast. Again each had a different idea!
Many Committee meetings; Many more debates; Each definition, term, argued! More writing, opinions offered; Weeks passed, then months. 46
47 After an exhausting meeting. Category 1A finally completed, Sent to membership for vote. More debate at Annual meeting; Approved for one year, 10/9/1976, and voluntary use. Happy Birthday! Category 1A
48 Wheels of progress turn slowly Vote by attending membership and mail ballot; small success for Committee... Large move for Texas surveying profession. Precursor in decades to come, for legal, mandatory professional standards.
Category 1A 1st Issue of the Manual of Practice 1976 Folded Legal size paper (18 pages) 49
50 From 1976 through the years following, Manual was updated; Categories added; all Membership approved. New Categories for boundary related tasks. Route surveys, topos, Construction, vertical- horizontal control, etc.
51 Registration Practices Act changed over years. Allowed Registration Board to develop minimum standards for Texas Land Surveying. TSA Category 1A was a primary resource. It took nearly 17 years.
52 TBPLS Minimum Standards Long debated; Chosen wisely; As MINIMUM Standards. "The Board establishes these minimum standards of practice to better serve the general public in regulating the practice of professional land surveying in Texas." TBPLS Rule 663.13
53 Surveyor must do no less than the minimum. Because... Registration is a legal qualification... To make a survey of minimum quality! Registration gives surveyor benefit of the doubt... BUT, are all SURVEYORS truly professional, Or just minimally qualified?
54 Today's Manual of Practice On line, 12 th Edition Evolution: Standards, now in 3 parts: I.Introduction, II.General Statement & III.Definitions & Applications Virtually same language as 1 st Ed. TBPLS rules referenced often.
55 Specifications for Categories: Ten Categories now listed. Still in original format... Still listing what needs to be done... And not how to do it! And still needs to be kept up to date!
56 TBPLS Minimum Standards offer few training aides past mandatory requirements for boundary surveys. TSPS Standards and Categories offer check- lists and training aides for what needs to be done in ten areas of professional surveying. These are not in competition. They help mold the real professional! And the employees!!! Trivial Comparison
57 Category 1A Still the "Gold Standard." Tolerance Chart needs updating. Specifications remain appropriate... If followed! But nothing remains static... Maintenance, updates and review required! New Administration, please take note! And Understood!
58 Category 1A The Texas answer to an ALTA survey. Includes many Title Industry concerns. Flexible to additional needs. Should be major part of your contract. MINIMUM STANDARD DETAIL REQUIREMENTS for ALTA/ACSM LAND TITLE SURVEYS as adopted by American Land Title Association American Congress on Surveying and Mapping and National Society of Professional Surveyors
59 Again Emphasizing Differences Highlights for understanding: TBPLS minimum standards are law. Mandatory and Minimum. TSPS Standards Voluntary, often More detailed, comprehensive. Designed with Title Co. Interests. And a check list for employees/trainees!
60 TSPS Manual of Practice Table of Contents offers a one sentence preview of each of the 10 Categories. Good for checking work and training employees.
61 Surveyors are an historic breed! We have survived the ages...but not alone. It is mostly because we knew who was "holding the end of our chain"... Those who support our mission: Programmers, Technicians, Researchers, and rodmen! No surveyor stands alone! Every Surveyor needs a reliable Bubba! I got your back, boss!
62 There was a surveyor named Brudaben. Whose surveys weren't all they coulda been. Though his chain was pulled tight To set his marks right; The tail-end wasn't held... where it shoulda been. And some final, Important Points!
63 And a second set-up is much better!
64 Remember, redundant measurement is only assurance surveyor has to support an opinion on distance and/or direction. Whether on plat... Or in court! This fact applies to every surveying tool from chain... to G.P.S. And then there is research! Now, are you ready to present your case?
65 Research, Records Search: Surveyor's Magic Wand! Requirements in Manual's1st edition still viable! TBPLS rule 663.16(B) Boundary Construction: "A land surveyor assuming the responsibility of performing a land survey also assumes the responsibility for such research of adequate thoroughness to support the determination of the location of the boundaries of the land being surveyed." Verbatim from 1st Ed, Manual of Practice.
66 How deep do we dig? How far do we go, To be adequate and sufficient? 'Cause we never can tell, When the survey we sell, Will be held by the court... As deficient!
67 Communication, the heart and root of success! The channels must be open... to, for, between, and with... employees, clients, employers, contractors/pro- viders, business associates, etc.
68 Standards require good communication. Also... offer good communication Identify necessary tasks, check lists and employee training aides.
69 Important Ethics of Communication As appropriate: Letter Message received: Letter answer or acknowledgment. Email message received: Email answer or acknowledgment. Telephone message received: Telephone a response. Memo received Memo answered or acknowledgment.
70 Business Acumen No communication should go unacknowledged! Better-half Acumen No communication should go unacknowledged!
71 TSPS has the Manual of Practice. Must be under constant review. Members need assurance it is good info; Up to date on processes that identify good surveying procedures... Always on What needs to be done... And never on how to do it!
72 Surveyors must follow minimums. Do what is minimally required. Is Maintaining a Minimum a professional trait? Are steps being taken beyond entry level? Opportunity is in the Manual of Practice To step to the forefront. An Ethical Truth Best way to outcompete one's competitor is to outperform one's competitor.
73 Your "TAIL"... And your boss's!
74 Post Scrips Originally Standards Committee: Wanted to distinguish TSA members Hoped TSA would require members use; Felt TSA members should pledge use: Wanted compulsory use if TSA member; Hoped TBPLS would incorporate as rules; Hoped to use for a "Standards" Legislation.
75 Original Committee; In fond memory Al Armstrong Harold Fisher Ken Gold Abbott Hargraves Harold Robertson Clint Sumrall W. C. Wilson

Very flat, low chinrest. For viola application, you must also purchase viola hardware clamp 96490 and excahnge threaded barrels for the barrels that come with the violin model.
Review Snapshotby PowerReviews

Comments about The String Centre Brandt Chinrest:
I bought a Brandt chin rest for my viola and it was an instant relief! So now I'll put one on my violin. Feels as good as no chin rest, lets the shoulder rest adjust the height from shoulder to violin, instead of the chin having to get over the usual high hump on standard chinrests.

LDS Game 2
Oct. 4, 1995 -- Yankees 7, Mariners 5 (15): After waiting 18 years for a postseason, Seattle was nearly eliminated before the checks had even cleared for their AL West Champions series T-shirts. Seattle lost Game 1 in New York despite two homers by Ken Griffey Jr., then lost a Game 2 heartbreaker when they squandered another Griffey homer, blew a lead in the 12th and lost on Jim Leyritz's homer in the 15th. (The 15th inning!) It was one of baseball's great postseason games but what I remember most is Yankees fans pelting Jay Buhner with garbage and trying to steal the TV monitors in the auxiliary press box. Ahhh, but M's fans got sweet revenge in the Kingdome.

SES Solar Co-op Ltd. (SESSC) in partnership with the City of Saskatoon at their Landfill Energy Project have developed a ground-mounted solar installation to help power the Landfill Gas Generation Station. 80 solar panels were installed by Rock Paper Sun Ltd. SESSC and the City of Saskatoon each own 40 of them. Each panel has 345 watts of capacity. Click for more details. As well 2 solar tracker systems are on loan from Saskatchewan Polytechnic.
SES Solar Co-operative's first installation
Two Twenty 20th Street West
This is currently the largest solar installation in the Saskatoon Light and Power district and the second largest installation in Saskatoon. The estimated electrical production from the system is 33,000 kilowatt hours per year. Click for more details.
90 solar panels for a total of 27.5 kilowatts were installed by Suncatcher Solar Ltd. on the roof and front awning of the Two Twenty Building at 220-20th Street West in Saskatoon.
Making History
The SES Solar Co-operative Ltd. is the first co-op of its kind in Saskatchewan. Southern Saskatchewan has an outstanding solar resource, with more hours of sunlight than anywhere else in Canada. Saskatoon, Saskatchewan sees an average of 2267 hours of bright sunshine every year. It is time to start utilizing that renewable resource in the production of electricity. The goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building a renewable energy future for Saskatchewan need to become a top priority in the province's communities. That is why it is not only important to launch Saskatchewan's first solar power co-operative, but to replicate it many times over in other communities across the province! Based out of Saskatoon, the SES Solar Co-operative Ltd. has carefully developed a legal structure, a set of bylaws, and a business model that can then be followed – and modified as needed – by future renewable power co-operatives. Our goal is to ultimately see dozens of renewable power co-operatives across our province.
Why solar?
Coal continues to dominate Saskatchewan's electricity grid, with over half of the province's electricity coming from coal. Carbon dioxide released from coal burning will remain in the atmosphere for at least 100 years. Although Saskatchewan is home to only 3% of Canada's population, the province is responsible for 10% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions.
You can be part of the solution!
By becoming a member of the SES Solar Co-operative Ltd., you can help reduce pollution and greenhouse gases. Invest in renewable energy in Saskatchewan. To learn more, read our frequently asked questions.

Figure and cubism still exists in the art of self-taught contemporary artist, Andre Mauro. The artist says his works brings "an ancient technique to a modern world" and although his aim is towards a more primitive and expressionist approach, Mauro says, he feels the need to continue the legacy of the proclaimed, Pablo Picasso.
In his work viewers experience hints of tribal aesthetics inspired by African culture and geometric shapes, dividing color and creating order. The series Portraits heavily relies on expression and weight, each taking on a different look, bringing the viewer closer to their emotions.

I tend to the small radish garden I've planted in my bum.
Masturbate. Obviously.
When nobody is around I love to hang out butt fuckin naked. I find it totally relaxing but at the same time a bit thrilling to be naked when I normally wouldn't be. It makes me feel free like I can do whatever I want, fuck the rest of the world. That kind of thing.
fart, laugh very hard by thinking somethings and imagining scenarios
Does it make any sense If I tell you? :D
Dance, masturbate, pretend I used the force to close doors
I smoke a blunt
Smell my armpits
Sing really loudly... No one is there to tell me to shut up sooo
nothing in particular
Try on all different clothes in my closet, sing, dance like a fool in my mirror, and a bunch of other foolishness that I don't want people to see

I thought of the people before me who had looked down at the river and gone to sleep beneath it. I wondered about them. I wondered how they had done it-it, the physical act.

A film for all the family.
"We will tell Orwell's classic tale as a vibrant engaging story for 21st Century families. Just imagine Orwell writing today… seeing the entire story from the point of view of an adorable knee-high piglet…
A rite of passage for this once naïve, baby-face piglet Lucky, son of Napoleon, as he witnesses the rise and fall of a dream: a perfect existence without human beings. A modern commentary of the perils of corporate greed, but with all the innocence, joy and sensitivity of a fairy-tale.
Just great fun, anarchic, contemporary, quick-witted and very funny … but also fearful, whereby jeopardy is in the unseen implied violence; raucous, thrilling with big set pieces; but also subtle – with incisive subversion and satire; heartbreakingly honest, accepting of sadness and emotionally ebullient". Andy Serkis

Producer – Jonathan Cavendish

If you've spent much time chatting on the Internet, you've probably had
a conversation along these lines at some point: "They should make a
movie like this!" "Naah... who wants to see a movie about a bunch of
people sitting at computers typing?" Densha Otoko finally answers that
question, and does it in superb style. By use of split-screen, and
computer text overlaid on real environments, it makes the online chats
visually interesting and fast-paced.
But this isn't just some technical storytelling exercise. At its heart, it's a funny and charming romance. Unlike just about every other "naive protagonist gets dating advice" movie, this one is astonishingly pure-hearted.
On consideration, I dropped it a point because I felt the character of the love-interest was under-developed. Her role in the romance never quite got fully believable. As even the minor characters are properly developed, perhaps she was intentionally left as a mysterious figure.
I really hope this gets a wider audience outside Japan. This is a wonderful, wonderful film, but the central role played by typed Japanese text is going to be a barrier to international audiences. Perhaps the best we can hope for is a competent Hollywood remake. Please, no Jennifer Lopez.

Apple just had its most profitable year ever
Earnings calls are typically pretty boring, but there's one interesting takeaway from Apple's report today: 2015 was the company's most profitable year ever.
Apple made $53.4 billion in profit in 2015. Take that in for a second. Done? In that second, Apple made about $1,700.

It isn't expected to last forever, though. As Apple enters the holiday shopping season, the company is projecting flat sales growth versus last year. By flat, Apple means around $75 billion in sales.
Most of this was on the back of the iPhone, of course. Apple sold 48 million iPhones in Q4 2015, along with 9.9 million iPads and 5.7 million Macs.
Like it or not, Apple is on an absolute roll.

Phelps Sets New Record
August 1, 2021 – Former Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps has just shattered the Maryland Insurance Association's sales record for most policies by a single advisor. The previous mark, set by Marty Henderson of Bethesda in 1974, was thought to be unbreakable. Phelps, who began selling insurance one year after his retirement from competitive swimming in 2012, has put the same dedication into providing financial plans to customers that he did into long training sessions in the pool.
"The guy's a machine," said Tony Monroe, Phelps' district manager. "He sells policies like he's doing laps. No matter what sales targets I set, Michael smashes it. Whole life, term, business, comprehensive… you name it, Phelps can sell it all."
The Post-London 2012 period had been unsettling for Phelps who found the transition from World Famous Swimmer to Regular Guy difficult. Advertising endorsements did not last as long as hoped. The public's memory for wet athletes is short and quickly replaced by NFL stars and the latest NBA high school phenom.
"He seems to have found his calling the in insurance game," continued Monroe. "And now that he is turning his attention to mutual funds, watch out." Expect more records to fall from Michael Phelps before he is done.

As it turns out, the power of chanel replica scent is all in the perception of the beholder. One person's aphrodisiac could be louis vuitton replica a complete turn-off for another. It depends on an individual's history with a particular fragrance, whether a floral note that recalls hugs from a great aunt, a spicy one worn by a previous girlfriend, or a green scent that your prada replica date associates with a wonderful summer at the lake. Strong floral scents run the risk of reminding replica watches your date of a grandmother, but fragrances with lily of the valley, such as Dior Addict 2, are romantic and chanel replica appealing without being too overwhelming.

A few weeks ago, about 150 Ottawans—mostly women—held this city's fourth annual "SlutWalk." Similar events have been held in other cities throughout Canada and the United States on other dates. This grassroots movement began in April 2011. A Toronto cop speaking at a campus-rape forum suggested that women could protect themselves against sexual assault by avoiding bad neighbourhoods and not "dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized." This was not seen as helpful advice by many women. The first SlutWalk drew over 3,000 participants at Queen's Park and police headquarters in Toronto, as a reaction to an attitude seen as enabling rape culture, victim blaming, and "slutshaming." Organizers also wanted to reclaim the word "slut" as a positive term for women in charge of their own sexuality.
My Oxford dictionary defines shame as "a feeling of distress or humiliation caused by consciousness of the guilt or folly of oneself or an associate." Feelings of shame are associated with feelings of guilt, but shame is not the same thing as guilt. Feelings of guilt result from awareness that one has transgressed a law or his or her own values. On the other hand, feelings of shame result from fear of the consequences when the transgression is known by others.
Shame is misplaced when it comes about through no wrongdoing of one's own. A woman might be ashamed of her body, even though her genes are not her fault. An Olympic athlete might feel that he has brought shame on his family and country after being beaten in competition, despite doing his best. Jesus' disciples once asked him whether a man's own sin or his parents' caused him to be born blind. The question implied the cultural assumption that a birth defect was shameful because it was deserved. Jesus repudiated this assumption when he said that his blindness was not the consequence of sin, but a chance to show God's glory, and then he healed him (John 9:1-3 ESV). Jesus was not ashamed of the man, even if his culture was. We might also be shamed when we strive to do the right thing, while everyone else is doing the wrong thing, and they resent us for it.
Although there is no shortage of misplaced shame, there is also justified shame. A man who has cheated on his wife may feel so ashamed that he can hardly face her—as he should, because he is guilty of a serious sin. A billionaire financier who is caught swindling his clients' fortunes to build his own, ought to feel ashamed. If he does not, we rightly wonder what is wrong with him. In these instances, the shame is deserved because a real transgression has been committed, and it has resulted in real guilt.
This is the pattern we see in Genesis 3, in the story of the fall of mankind. Immediately after Adam and Eve broke God's law by eating the forbidden fruit, they became ashamed of their nakedness and covered themselves up. Then, they hid from God as well (Gen. 3:6-8). Sin led to real moral guilt; because of their guilt, they could no longer face God (justified shame), and they could no longer face each other (misplaced shame).
Our culture doesn't like the reality of shame. A few months ago, a woman in the States was arrested for attacking a pro-life demonstration: verbally abusing and assaulting the demonstrators and kicking over their signs. Inevitably, her vituperation and vandalism found its way onto YouTube. Criminal charges against her were later dropped, in return for paying restitution to the pro-life group for the damage to the signs. That should have settled the matter, but not long afterward, the woman's mother filed suit against the pro-life group. She alleged that the video recording of her daughter's misbehaviour had shamed her and caused "emotional distress" to her family.[i]
SlutWalk began with a valid concern about misplaced shame: a woman is not to blame for being sexually assaulted, nor does the manner of her dress lessen her rapist's responsibility for his actions. However, many women at the marches protest misplaced shame by celebrating immodesty, a cause for justified shame. They wear tight clothing or lingerie, or might even go partially nude. A woman wearing skimpy clothes in public doesn't deserve to be raped; that's a given. But as a protest against perceived sexual profiling, it begs the question, not only of how dressing immodestly is supposed to empower a woman, but more fundamentally of whether she ought to be wearing skimpy clothes in public.
Society has given a new commandment unto us: Thou shalt not shame the shameless. I wonder if this new taboo against the reality of shame has come about because many people's worldviews deny the reality of sin. If you feel you have no sin to be guilty of, you have no reason to be ashamed of yourself. But if sin and guilt actually exist, then they can't be expiated merely by saying they don't. In the Christian worldview, there is no such thing as shamelessness. "[A]ll have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Christianity teaches that justified shame is universal, because all of us should be legitimately shameful of some acts we have committed.
Jesus Christ was the righteous man who was shamed through no wrongdoing of his own. Though he was guiltless himself, he suffered the death penalty the guilty deserved, by dying in their place by crucifixion. A Roman cross was such a shameful thing that it was never spoken of in polite society. Around 100 BC, Cicero said, in defense of Gaius Rabirius, a senator charged with treason and facing crucifixion, "the executioner, the veiling of heads, and the very word 'cross,' let them all be far removed from not only the bodies of Roman citizens but even from their thoughts, their eyes, and their ears. . . . the mere mention of them are unworthy of a Roman citizen and a free man."[ii]
Yet this infamous symbol of Roman cruelty became Christianity's greatest symbol of triumph. "[F]ar be it from me to boast," writes the apostle Paul, "except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world" (Galatians 6:14). How is this object of shame a cause for boasting? Only Christ, as the sinless Son of God, has the ability to take away the guilt of sin. He willingly accepted the curse of crucifixion: he "endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God" (Hebrews 12:2). As the perfect High Priest, he now pleads the cases of sinners before his Father, who does not fail to show mercy, because his Son has satisfied his justice.
Jesus' life demonstrates that sin is real and justified shame is legitimate. Only his atoning death on the cross deals effectively with them. Shame can't be defeated by marching in the streets. It can't be wished away by denying the sin and guilt that brought it. Christ alone answers the problem of justified shame by removing its cause through the forgiveness of sins. He also answers the problem of misplaced shame through his people, the church. Ideally, we are a people who ought to welcome those who have also been unjustly shamed because of sexual abuse, family history, prejudice, or another injustice, and help them to heal—because we, too, might be shamed for Jesus' sake (Matthew 10:22). To our (justified) shame, the church has not always loved such people as we should; may we learn to do better, by God's grace. Only Christ is a solution to shame; and "whoever believes in him will not be put to shame" (Rom. 9:33).

Working from home can be both wonderful and sometimes challenging. While you are free to operate under your own hours, and come into work wearing exactly what you want, you also have to discipline yourself to structure your time and space accordingly. One thing that can really help increase productivity working from home is setting up an organized and stylish home office. A space where everything has its place, and includes both a desk to work at and a comfortable chair to think through ideas. See our take on the modern home office and shop the look below!

I learned a lot from the many speakers at the Virginia Press Association's 2017 conference – including the Pulitzer-winning writer Tom French and Jeremy Gilbert, the director of strategic initiatives for The Washington Post. But what I found to be the most useful workshop was "50 Ideas in 50 Minutes," presented by Brian Couturier, managing editor of Petersburg Progress-index, and Tim Schmitt, of GateHouse Media. In less than an hour, Couturier and Schmitt took the audience on a tour of dozens of intriguing story possibilities, from quick hits to deep dives. They were the kinds of ideas that really get you reporting proactively rather than reactively.
Here are the story ideas I liked best:
• How walkable is your town? Using the website walkscore.com, you can see how easily people in your area can walk to places like libraries, grocery stores and pharmacies. For example, while the center of Richmond may have a high "walkscore," like 95, outlying areas may have a walkscore of only 11, meaning you'd need a car to live there.
• What are the rules for off-duty police officers? Rather than waiting for an incident to occur, report ahead of time what the protocols are for your local law enforcement. A good question to ask is "Can cops use a police car to work private functions?"
• How did certain streets get their weird names? This subject is a good feature because people love learning odd facts about their town. You can also create community engagement by reaching out to your readers on social media to see if they know how streets were named.
• Are sports and religion conflicting? While Sundays are when many religions have services, they are also the day many school sports teams have competitions. Is this impacting religious worship in your community?
• Is cosmetic surgery on the rise in your area? Find out how many cosmetic surgeons are in your area, and if any of their procedures are covered by insurance.
The workshop also offered some general takeaways for effective reporting. One was to use old photos on social media. It's content your publication probably already has, and people love to look at them. Also, tell a story over time by running a series of articles. Rather than publishing one article on weird street names in your town, make it a weekly feature. And show what's opening. Make a simple map of restaurants and/or stores that are opening up in the area that month. It's a simple interest piece that will generate a lot of views.
If you didn't attend the VPA conference, I highly suggest going to VPA's website to look at the slideshows that have been posted. You'll more than likely learn something new.
