But there is a problem....
Posted by
Some of the Calvinist reactions have been fierce. Indeed, one wonders how people have the time for all these tweets, even as one marvels at the skill with which hidden motives can be publicly dissected and characters assassinated in a mere 140 characters or less. My own reaction is a little different: I recognize the problem Frye highlights. I know people who react to tragedy and evil with a bald assertion of divine sovereignty. 'What's for you won't go by you' is a popular saying in church circles back in Scotland. 'Ah well, it's the Lord's will' is the sum total of the words of comfort I have sometimes heard spoken to individuals facing terrible darkness and personal tragedy.
I am a Calvinist to the tips of my fingers. I do not think that Calvinism is to blame for some contemporary Christians' inability to handle tragedy and to lament. Part of the problem is the perennial intrusion of the theologies of glory which the fallen world preaches to us and which our fallen hearts are always eager to believe.
But I do think the response to Frye should not be 'How dare you blame the Calvinists!?' so much as 'If there is a problem, and if true Calvinism should not create such a problem, what is going wrong in our churches?' Here, the difference between a church's doctrine and the reception of that doctrine by individual Christians and congregations is crucial. Calvinism, true Calvinism, is not to blame; but sadly there are Calvinists who are less innocent, who do reduce the problem of evil and suffering to tweetable soundbites which inevitably lack the complexity of the Biblical teaching, who do ignore the whole counsel of God in their teaching and preaching and choice of praise songs. And I fear that a failure to reflect the whole counsel of God in our teaching and worship has indeed left individuals conflicted over how -- and whether -- Christians should lament. The arrival of funerals that are 'celebrations of life' even within some Presbyterian circles witnesses to the reality of this problem.
In scripture, there is a richness of response to evil and suffering, of which the assertion of divine sovereignty is simply one part. Elihu is correct on sovereignty, yet God still needs to speak to Job because an assertion of sovereignty on its own is not enough. The Shunammite laments the death of her son, and the prophet never rebukes her for doing so, even though he knows God is in control. Christ weeps at the tomb of Lazarus, even after delaying his arrival and also declaring that the awful situation has come about to serve God's glory. And then there are the numerous psalms of lament, placed in scripture in part to give the church a liturgy of prayer and praise which reflects biblical horizons of expectation for the people of God in this fallen world.
Pastors and teachers need to have a strategy for teaching their people about suffering and sovereignty which does justice not simply to God's omnipotence but also to the myriad other facets of the issue, and the responses thereto, which the Bible provides. And we need to do so repeatedly, firmly, and graciously, so that our congregations come to maturity in the faith on this issue. Theologies of glory, even those which major on the truth of God's sovereignty, always lurk in the shadows. Frye and McKnight have put their fingers on a serious problem.
And I would also suggest that the issues are so theologically deep and pastorally complicated that one can know apriori that anyone who has tweeted the answer to suffering, tragedy or wickedness is definitely wrong, even if only because of all the truths that their chosen 140 character limit requires that they must have omitted.

A: Most farmers do not choose to save seed because they can be assured that newly purchased seed is free of disease and pathogens, and in the case of hybrids, demonstrates hybrid vigor, with consistent, uniform characteristics. "Seed saving" is not really an option with hybrid corn if a farmer wants consistency in his or her crops because saved the seed from hybrid crops (the offspring) does not "breed true" in successive generations, i.e., it does not deliver the quality and...

A: This is a great question―and I understand your concern. I might not be able to respond on behalf of all of the stakeholders referenced in your question, but what I can offer is my perspective as a farmer. What I know and see every day is that farmers are free to choose what seeds they use to grow their crops based on what is best for their farms, market demand and local growing environment. In fact, many farmers welcome the opportunity to use―or not to use―the new traits that are... Continue Reading

Some men and women never arrive in drug rehab in Box Elder County and sometimes lose their lives to addiction in the end. This is an extremely common and sad actuality for so many individuals each year, who don't go to alcohol and drug treatment due to a deep rooted denial regarding the issue or even shame and guilt. This can keep individuals back from finding the help they require that can preserve their lives. Close friends and loved ones who see that there is a issue need to intervene before it gets to such a critical point, and a drug intervention is one example of how to accomplish this.

A great number of books have been published about various issues concerning women, ministry, and theology. This bibliography introduces pastors and other interested readers to about a fair sampling from the areas of biblical analysis, historical resources, theology, and books concerning women clergy. I am a woman in ministry, and my theology concerning women is fairly moderate. Reading radical feminist theology has been difficult for me; but I have found it important to come to an understanding of the ways in which women think and why. If you are a conservative thinker, I encourage you to read in this field even if you do not expect to change your mind. If nothing else, it will assist you in becoming able to discuss your own position clearly.
Bellis, Alice Ogden. Helpmates, Harlots, and Heroes: Women's Stories in the Hebrew Bible. Louisville, KY: Westminster/John Knox Press, 1994.
Bellis compares various feminist interpretations of stories featuring women throughout the entire Hebrew Bible. She begins by explaining key concepts regarding feminist and womanist theology and the impact of racial orientation on textual interpretation. While she herself does not attempt to analyze the texts, she criticizes the interpreters' readings.
Jeansonne, Sharon Pace. The Women of Genesis: From Sarah to Potiphars Wife. Minneapolis, MN: Fortress Press, 1990.
Sharon Pace Jeansonne provides an exegetical analysis of eight narratives concerning women in Genesis. The analysis does not always feature the women prominently. For instance, the analysis of the story of Lot's daughters focuses primarily on Lot's behavior before concluding with points regarding the roles of Lot's daughters in the narrative. The book sheds light on the roles of ten females in the first book of the Bible, laying a strong foundation for attention to the roles of females and the impact of other characters' behavior on their lives throughout the Bible.
Keener, Craig S. Paul, Women, and Wives: Marriage and Women's Ministry in the Letters of Paul. Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 1992.
Craig Keener begins his examination of Paul's writings by sharing the story of his own struggle to come to terms with questions about women in ministry. After explaining why he feels that it is necessary to learn the historical background of the biblical writings, he discusses various aspects of Paul's writing regarding women in the church using historical information to aid exegesis. He includes chapters on head coverings, women speaking in church, learning in silence, and several aspects of women's roles in the family. The book is appropriate reading for people with academic background as well as laypeople.
Kroeger, Catherine Clark and Richard Kroeger. I Suffer Not a Woman: Rethinking I Timothy 2:11-15 in Light of Ancient Evidence. Baker Books, 1998.
Richard and Catherine Clark Kroeger examine the text of 1 Timothy 2:9-15 in light of the cultural issues affecting the city of Ephesus. They provide detailed information on Pagan and Gnostic religious practices which may have influenced the Ephesian church, where Timothy served. They explain possible alternative meanings of the Greek text and suggest alternative ways to translate and interpret the passage.
This passage is a difficult passage to handle since it seems to speak strongly against the possibility of women serving in ministry despite support for women serving in ministry in many other places in the Bible. This book provides a helpful explanation regarding the context of the passage and should be in the libraries of church leaders and anyone wishing to learn more about women in ministry and biblical interpretation. If it does nothing else, it will encourage readers to wrestle with the original context of the text and find ways to draw from the new interpretation.
Meyers, Carol. Discovering Eve: Ancient Israelite Women in Context. New York, NY: Oxford University Press, 1988.
Carol Meyers discusses important background information regarding patriarchy and ancient Israelite customs before turning to an examination of attitudes and texts about Eve. Her text analysis is detailed and includes discussion of implications for interpretation. She also includes discussion of extra biblical texts.
Spencer, Aída Besançon. Beyond the Curse: Women Called to Ministry. Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson, 1985.
This book presents a study of New Testament teaching regarding women's roles in ministry with preliminary notes on Gen. 1 and final notes on feminine images of God. In the preliminary notes, discussion of the submission perspective is included and followed by the author's explanation of why she believes that Gen. 1 demonstrates equality for women and why she believes that the two creation narratives do not oppose each other. This book provides a reasonable overview of many passages regarding this issue; however, these passages can also be discussed at great length, and this is a very small book.
Tetlow, Elizabeth M. Women in Ministry in the New Testament. New York, NY: Paulist Press, 1980.
Elizabeth Tetlow examines environmental factors which shaped the New Testament practices concerning women's participation in ministry. Her survey includes discussion of ancient Sumerian and Egyptian practices as well as Jewish and Greek practices before moving into discussion of New Testament practices in light of the culture in which New Testament Christianity was born. The text is heavily referenced, and the reading is very factual. Few quotations from primary sources are used. However, the information is useful for understanding the roles of women in the New Testament church.
Teubal, Savina J. Sarah the Priestess: The First Matriarch of Genesis. Athens, OH: Ohio University Press, 1984.
Savina Teubal presents an alternate study of the narratives concerning Abraham and Sarah in Genesis, accompanied by historical background and relevant information about mythology. She proposes that the social system in which Sarah and Abraham lived was matriarchal and that the narratives demonstrate this fact as well as attempts by men to gain control of the system. This is a fascinating perspective on Sarah's life and provides much to consider.
Trible, Phyllis. Texts of Terror: Literary-Feminist Readings of Biblical Narratives. Philadelphia, PA: Fortress Press, 1984.
Phyllis Trible analyzes the stories of Hagar, Tamar, an unnamed woman in Jdg. 19:1-30, and Jephtha's daughter from a feminist perspective. Her analyses include attention to the structure of the text and differences in meaning between English and Hebrew versions. She demonstrates not only the existence of male power over females but also instances of female power over males and other females (e.g. Sarah's power over Abraham and their joint power over Hagar). This text is not only about oppression of women but also about racial issues and issues affecting children. The text provides a needed perspective on passages which often remain unread.
Witherington, Ben. Women in the Earliest Churches. New York, NY: Cambridge University Press, 1988.
Ben Witherington examines texts concerning women's roles in the New Testament church and in the churches of the period of the ante-Nicene Fathers. He begins by presenting background material regarding women's roles in first-century Mediterranean cultures, which he considers essential to the interpretation of New Testament texts. In his discussion, he defines Greek terms which may be significant in interpreting texts. He moves next to a discussion of women in the physical family, which includes discussion of various Pauline references to marriage and household codes. His third chapter concerns women's roles in worship and evangelism and Paul's views. In chapter four, Witherington discusses the presentation of women in the Gospels and Acts. In the final chapter, he discusses women's roles in the post-New Testament church, including a discussion of Gnosticism and Montanism as well as church order and offices. Witherington draws from numerous primary sources for this discussion. This book is a valuable resource for in-depth information regarding the roles of women in the church during the first four centuries.
Witherington, Ben. Women in the Ministry of Jesus: A Study of Jesus' Attitudes to Women and their Roles as Reflected in His Earthly Life (Society for New Testament Studies. New York, NY: Cambridge University Press, 1984.
This monograph precedes Ben Witherington's work on women in the earliest churches. It is a topically arranged discussion of women's participation in Jesus' ministry. Witherington compares parallel passages where appropriate and discusses various issues affecting interpretation. He also presents relevant background information which impacts interpretation of passages which he is discussing.
Hardesty, Nancy. Women Called to Witness: Evangelical Feminism in the 19th Century. Nashville: Abingdon Press, 1984.
Nancy Hardesty traces factors in American history affecting the participation of women in ministry. These factors include changes associated with industrialization, the impact of revivalism, the impact of the holiness meetings, changes in the educational opportunities available to women, and social activism. Discussion of these issues is woven into a creative history featuring a number of women from a variety of backgrounds who played roles in opening doors for women in ministry. Some simply responded to God's personal call by testifying boldly. Others studied theology in environments where women had never done so before. Still others led class meetings or preached regularly.
Hassey, Janette. No Time for Silence: Evangelical Women in Public Ministry Around the Turn of the Century. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Publishing House, 1986.
Janette Hassey presents an overview of the state of women's roles in the church at the turn of the century and then discusses the history of women's participation in theological education, perspectives on ordination of women, denominational issues, and an in-depth look at the Evangelical Free Church in America. Finally, a chapter regarding Evangelical feminist biblical interpretation explores how feminist biblical interpretation has opened doors for women in ministry.
Stanley, Susie C. Holy Boldness: Women Preachers' Autobiographies And The Sanctified Self. University Tennessee Press, 2002.
Susie Stanley examines 34 autobiographies of American holiness women preachers and traces the development of holiness theology through the nineteenth century. She provides important information about the differences between the autobiographies of women in ministry and women who were activists. She highlights important quotations from each biography amid her discussion of holiness theology and the general historical climate in which each woman operated.
Torjesen, Karen Jo. When Women Were Priests: Women's Leadership in the Early Church and the Scandal of Their Subordination in. San Francisco: Harper Collins, 1993.
In this book, Karen Jo Torjesen examines the roles of women in the leadership of the early church and the factors leading to the persecution of women. She provides examples of women who served as leaders in the early church. She also discusses philosophical issues, cultural practices, and the changes that took place over the first few centuries in church history. The book provides an enlightening discussion of aspects of church history which may be poorly understood.
Tucker, Ruth. Daughters of the Church: Women and Ministry from New Testament Times to the Present. Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing, 1987
This book presents a history of women in the church from New Testament times to the present. In the first chapter, the author discusses Jesus' relationships with women as portrayed in the gospels. In the second chapter, women's portrayal in Acts and the epistles is discussed along with additional historical information which sheds light on interpretation of key passages. Later chapters feature profiles of notable historical women. Important writings from each time period are also discussed, and historical background is provided.
Discussing the vast array of events and changes that have taken place over two thousand years is truly a difficult task. Ruth Tucker has done a phenomenal job of consolidating a great deal of information into a relatively small space. This book provides an excellent overview of issues affecting women in the church throughout its history, though it is only a point of beginning and should be supplemented with additional reading.
Bloesch, Donald G. Is the Bible Sexist: Beyond Feminism and Patriarchalism. Westchester, IL: Crossway Books, 1982.
In this small book, Donald Bloesch powerfully addresses several important issues involved in the debate over women's participation in ministry. He argues for a complementarian perspective, backing up his points with a number of biblical passages. He presents a brief history of women in ministry, featuring several notable women and discussing a number of challenges which women have faced at various times. The portion of his book which stands out most is his explanation of the efforts of feminists to promote the use of alternative language.
Grenz, Stanley and Denise Muir Klesbo. Women in the Church: A Biblical Theology of Women in Ministry. Downer's Grove, IL: Intervarsity Press, 1995.
This book provides a call to support the full participation of women in all aspects of the life of the church, including ministry. Discussion covers historical, biblical, and theological issues. The authors differentiate between the egalitarian and complementarian positions and defend the egalitarian position as biblical. Discussion begins with an overview of the current situation in various churches and groups and moves on to examine the roles of women in church history. Next, the authors explore biblical portrayals of women in the faith community. A lengthy chapter is dedicated to discussion of various interpretations of Paul's writings about women. Final chapters examine theological issues such as the nature of creation and the argument that men were created first and are therefore superior; women and the priesthood; and women and ordained ministry.
This book weaves together discussions from several fields of study and is an excellent resource for approaching the study of the topic of women's roles in the church from a variety of angles. It would serve as an excellent starting point for study.
Sanders, Cheryl J. Ministry at the Margins: The Prophetic Mission of Women, Youth & the Poor. InterVarsity Press, 1997.
Cheryl Sanders discusses the biblical mandate for the ministry of marginalized people: women, young people, and the poor. She proposes that churches often do not preach this, and those that do preach it do not practice it. A portion of the book is dedicated to each topic. The discussion of women's ministry includes discussion of motherhood as a life-giving force, the ministry of anointing, and women's participation in the upper room as an example of Spirit-led ministry. The ministries of women, as well as those of other marginalized groups, serve as examples for men. Sanders' presentation urges the church toward reflection and action through preaching and greater encouragement of women and others from marginalized groups to participate in ministry.
Soelle, Dorothee. (ed.) The Strength of the Weak: Toward a Christian Feminist Identity. Philadelphia, PA: Westminster/John Knox Press, 1984.
This book includes chapters discussing various theological ideas from a feminist perspective. The contributors often propose dismantling existing dogma and rebuilding theology without dogma. Some of the discussion is quite intriguing (e.g. the discussion of the role of suffering in maintaining compassion in chapter 1 and the discussion of male oppression in chapter 5. Some of the discussion can be difficult reading depending on one's personal background. Resurrection (in chapter 8) is presented as something that happens when we speak of the dead person. Homosexuality is presented as an approvable alternative lifestyle. Without agreeing with every detail in the book, it is useful reading in order to understand feminist thinking and gain some additional perspective.
Fabella, Virginia, (ed.) and Mercy Amba Oduyoye. (ed.) With Passion and Compassion: Third World Women Doing Theology Reflections from the Women's Commission of the Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians. Maryknoll, NY: Orbis, 1988.
This book is a compilation of reports regarding the church, theological issues, and issues affecting women from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Since the situations are not the same in each continent, the chapters are not parallel. For instance, Africa is a place where women have been oppressed. The chapter, "Women and Men Building Together the Church in Africa," argues for addressing this oppression rather than creating the appearance of reconciliation without liberation. The chapter, "Women in the Bible," offers a report from an African women's conference regarding new ways of reading biblical narratives about women in order to demonstrate God's will for women's roles. Chapters on Asian women attempt to describe the realities which are quite varied in the many Asian countries in order to create a framework for discussing Asian women's spirituality and theology.
This book is an excellent resource for acquainting oneself with background issues facing African, Asian, and Latin American women. This knowledge is important to have when reading theologies or other works written by women from these continents because it is inevitable that their personal situations affect their writing. While authors often explain something about their background, it is quite helpful to have some general understanding of third world issues as well.
Goger, Marion. Women in Parish Ministry: Stress and Support. New York, NY: The Alban Institute, 1985.
This study of stress factors and support needs of women in parish ministry relates specifically to the United Methodist Church but also provides insight for other groups as well. Coger examines factors that influence the experience of stress and the need for support and the impact of token status as well as patterns in the development and maintenance of support networks of women clergy. She then examines factors influencing success (thriving) in ministry and identifies pitfalls that should be avoided. Finally, she discusses the implications of the study for the United Methodist Church and for seminaries.
Everist, Norma Cook. (ed.) Ordinary Ministry, Extraordinary Challenge: Women and the Roles of Ministry. Nashville, TN: Abingdon, 2000.
This book is a compilation of personal stories written by twenty-five women in various ministries. Many are ordained, but some are laypeople. The women come from a variety of denominational backgrounds and from rural, urban, and suburban settings and all church sizes. The compilation represents the fact that women's participation in ministry is not strange or new and that the ministries of all believers are important.
The stories are gripping and deeply personal. At the same time, they speak of things that are common to the experiences of many people who serve in ministry settings. The book both prompts additional reading and prompts pausing for reflection. This is an excellent resource for spiritual formation as well as for learning about the experiences of women in ministry.
Huber, Randal. Called, Equipped, and No Place to Go: Women Pastors and the Church. Anderson, IN: Warner Press, 2003.
Randall Huber addresses objections to the possibility of women serving in ministry in a question and answer format. Each chapter opens with the text of a letter presenting an objection for discussion. This text is followed by Huber's discussion; and each chapter closes with discussion questions.
The book is an excellent resource for any group seeking to formulate opinions regarding this topic, whether made up of students, church board members, or any other combination of people from various backgrounds. It should be studied widely.
Leonard, Juanita E. [ed.]. Called to minister, empowered to serve: Women in ministry and missions in the Church of God reformation movement. Anderson, IN: Warner Press, 1989.
This book is a compilation of articles written by women in ministry affiliated with the Church of God (Anderson, IN). Article topics include biblical support for women in ministry; practical problems facing women clergy; historical information regarding women in ministry in the Church of God; and profiles of women from various ethnic backgrounds and serving in various settings. The book is a valuable resource to consult for information regarding women in ministry in this movement.

Exemption criteria
Please note, the exemption criteria will change as of 1 October 2014. We will publish more information nearer the time, but meanwhile, if you have any questions related to this change, please email us on email@example.com.
Under the Video Recordings Act 1984, some video content does not need to be rated by the BBFC. The below criteria set out when this is the case.
'Video work' means any series of visual images (with or without sound):
- produced electronically by the use of information contained on any disc, magnetic tape or any other device capable of storing data electronically, and
- shown as a moving picture.
Under the Video Recordings Act 1984 the BBFC assigns age ratings to all video works supplied in the United Kingdom unless they fall into one of the two exempt areas:
- works which, taken as a whole, are designed to inform, educate or instruct;
- works which, taken as a whole, are concerned with sport, religion or music;
The BBFC can advise a customer, if required, on the interpretation of these areas but the decision as to whether or not to submit a work lies with the distributor.
Having reached a decision about whether the work falls into one of these areas, the distributor must then determine whether the work includes or is likely to encourage, to any significant extent, any of the following:
- human sexual activity or acts of force or restraint associated with such activity;
- mutilation or torture of, or other acts of gross violence towards, humans or animals;
- techniques likely to be useful in the commission of offences;
- or whether it includes to any significant extent human genital organs or human urinary or excretory functions;
If the work does include any of the above elements then the exemption is lost and the work must be submitted to the BBFC for classification.
A video recording may contain a number of video works. Distributors should consider the criteria for exemption in relation to each individual element that will appear on the final product. An individual trailer, advert or item of bonus material may require rating even if the main feature or video game it accompanies does not.
Who decides if a work is exempt?
Ultimately only a court may decide. Meanwhile decisions as to whether a work falls into one of the exempt areas or includes material that loses the exemption can only be made by the distributor or supplier. The Board's role is purely to rate works submitted to it. The BBFC has no authority to make any decision about whether submitted works could be exempt.
Does it matter if I submit a work to the BBFC which might be exempt?
No. The BBFC will accept submissions of material which may be exempt. Exempt works are sometimes rated because the distributor prefers a BBFC rating. Our categories and symbols are familiar and trusted by the public and enjoy the support of the law.
What about works already classified elsewhere or shown on TV?
Once transferred to a disc, magnetic tape or any other device capable of storing data electronically for distribution, works are considered to be different from the same material broadcast on television. TV regulation is different from video regulation, and even from film regulation and, by law, a new decision has to be made. Any classification decisions made anywhere else in the world are similarly irrelevant. It has also to be borne in mind that the version for release as a video work may not always be the same as that shown on TV here or seen in other countries.
What happens if a work which should be classified is not?
The Video Recordings Act is enforced mainly by local Trading Standards Officers. Their role is to visit stores and inspect the stock and to check that no unclassified works are being sold or rented and that all other details of relevant legislation are being observed. They are entitled to take an 'exempt' work from a shop if they doubt its exempt status. If, on inspecting that work, they reach the conclusion that it should have been classified, the distributor could be prosecuted.
Exempt Supply
Even if a work itself is not exempt, it is possible that its supply is. The Act defines an exempt supply as one which is neither 'a supply for reward' nor 'in the course or furtherance of a business'. So, if there is no reward (eg exchange of money) associated in any way with the transaction, and as long as the supply is entirely unrelated to any business activity, the supply could be considered exempt. This would not be the case, for instance, if videos were being lent or given away to attract customers to a shop, even one whose actual business was unrelated to video.
There are other circumstances in which a supply can be considered exempt, such as the record of an event which is to be circulated only to those connected with the event – e.g. a wedding video.
Further advice on exempt video works (including video games) may be obtained from The Video Standards Council.

Appendix A Agenda Workshop on Adapting Agricultural Extension to Peacebuilding of the National Academies and United States Institute of Peace May 1, 2012 US Institute of Peace 2301 Constitution Avenue NW Washington, DC The goal of this workshop is to identify what peacebuilding activities could be delivered as components of existing extension services and what organizational modifications and new capabilities would be required to do so effectively. The day divides into two halves. In the morning, we will investigate how resource conflict manifests in rural communities and how extension and advisory services have been used to affect such conflict. In the afternoon, in breakout sessions, participants will brainstorm what capabilities are required to support a peacebuilding role for extension. The breakouts will address (1) what changes are required in the skills of individual extension officers, (2) what changes are required in the orga- nization of extension systems, and (3) what technological innovations are required in order for extension officers to integrate peacebuilding into their extension activities. 45

46 ADAPTING AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION TO PEACEBUILDING 8:00 a.m. Breakfast 8:30 a.m. Welcome and Goals for the Day Ann Bartuska, USDA; Pamela Aall, USIP 8:45 a.m. Conflict in Rural Settings Conflict affects agricultural communities in multiple ways. Disagreement between communities on rights to land and water access can act as flashpoints to initiate conflict. Likewise, in the aftermath of conflict, returnees whether refugees or demobilized soldiers can create conflict by stressing a com- munity's economic and social resources. What can be natural additions to an extension officer's activities to manage these destabilizing phenomena? Speakers: Jon Unruh, McGill University Caroline Hartzell, Gettysburg College Michael Jacobs, PEACE Moderator: Pamela Aall, USIP 10:30 a.m. Break 10:45 a.m. Extension in Fragile Societies Extension agents working in rural communities are typically representatives of government with the responsibility to pro- vide information and guidance to improve agricultural pro- ductivity. What are the effects of conflict on agents' capacity to deliver such services and what examples exist of extension agents using delivery of such services as a means to manage conflict effectively? Speakers: Mark Bell, UC Davis Jim Conley, Civilian Response Corps David Nisbet, Agricultural Research Service Moderator: Ann Bartuska, USDA 12:30 p.m. Lunch

APPENDIX A 47 1:15 p.m. Breakout Sessions Capacity Building and Training (Room B214) Extension officers support farmers by communicating infor- mation, by providing access to resources, and by organizing farmers to get to market. Given the need to continue to sup- port the technical dimensions of farming, what are the skills required for extension officers to manage conflict effectively in their communities? Organizational Change and Institution Building (Room B215) Extension systems typically operate within a Ministry of Agriculture. Following conflict, resources can be scarce, and coherent guidance even scarcer. To enable effective frontline peacebuilding activities by extension agents, what changes are required in how agents are organized, supported, and resourced? Technological Infrastructure (Room B241) Extension systems have used various communications tech- nologies (rural radio, for example) to communicate with dispersed agricultural communities. Cell phone technology is transforming what can be communicated and has created the potential for two-way conversations. How should this and other recent ICT innovations be applied in extension to man- age conflict? 3:30 p.m. Reconvene Ann Bartuska, USDA; Pamela Aall, USIP 4:30 p.m. Adjourn

I hear noise or hissing on my telephone line. Modem connections are very sensitive to "line noise," or problems with phone line quality. This can be caused by old or poor wiring inside your home, or conditions affecting the line between your home and the number you are dialing.
Make sure that you have installed a telephone cord between a working phone jack and your analog modem, and that all connections are secure. Most times, analog modems are installed inside computers, with a phone jack in the back of the computer.

This beautiful example of minimalist graphic design has been created by Sydney based Zé Studio for the start-up technology company Connected Apps. The project included identity concept and development, as well as an icon set and animated monogram for use within the company's app framework. Designers explain: In defining the identity for Connected Apps, we avoided obvious connections from point A—B. In our strategic research, we came across a formula known as Dijkstra's Algorithm which finds the shortest connecting path using a series of placed nodes (commonly used to find the shortest path for navigation maps). This formed the basis of the visual identity. I really like the subtlety of this approach. Instead of illustrating the concept, designers stimulated our imagination by the clever use of the dotted grid. The nodes do not visually appear to connect until the monogram animates from a start to end point in the shortest path – a way in which Connected Apps aim to reach their clients' audiences.
Categorized "Identity"
The brand and innovation firm Wolff Olins has developed this beautifully simple project for Infotech Enterprises, an Indian firm specialised in engineering and data services. Seeking a strategic change, the new brand Cyient was created to generate new customers, talent and even acquisitions, starting a new chapter after two decades. The new identity for Cyient is incredibly simple in its design, with a customised "E" with a dot for the logo and for the communication — a characteristic that will always make the brand identifiable, even without using the logo. Furthermore, this dot will be ever present and will reinforce all the visual elements of the brand — framing texts, images, graphics or videos. A simple yet powerful concept. You can also watch a video presentation of the brand.
Design From Finland
It is well known that for many years great design has come from the north of Europe, and this is another perfect example: Design From Finland, a project by the brand design agency Wekling from Finland -obviously- to indicate the origin of Finnish Design, a mark that grants The Association for Finnish Work. Wekling explains: Our approach to the design was very pragmatic. The mark has to work in internationally, so the words "Design from Finland" are required to make the mark's meaning immediately understandable. We felt the mark also needed a visual clue or mnemonic that is memorable and recognizable. The "F:" -symbol meets this requirement, and can also be read as an abbreviation for "from Finland". In addition, the "F:" -symbol has been designed to look like the Finnish flag. Wekling produced the circle shape as it is widely used in design objects and thus fits the visual language of many of the products it will be associated with. A simple design that transmits its message with intelligent solutions. The result? Elegance, efficacy and coherence. Bravo!
Hai Lien
Hai Lien is a make up artist currently based in China, where she runs a make up academy. Her work covers skin care and colour make up and in order to initiate the wide market in the region into the true beauty of make up in a more effective manner as well as hand down her secret method, she has decided to launch her own cosmetics range in China — Hai Lien CC Cream. The design of the branding and packaging of Hai Lien's new cosmetics line is by minimalist, a boutique design studio based in Gangnam, Seoul, Korea. Their philosophy in design is one I am certainly familiar with and one that most certainly applies to Hai Lien's branding: We believe good designs can be achieved not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. For this project, the designer's explain some design characteristics: The distinctive staircase patterns are the motive of Hai Lien's professionalism, and the classy black and white colour scheme will differentiate the range from showy colour scheme of its competitors on the shelf. From the minimalist aesthetic of the bottle, the type design of the logo, to...
Some months ago Moving Brands designed a new identity for Blank Digital, a New York-based boutique retouching and digital capture company. Blank were seeking a more effective strategy in order to help establish relationships with the top luxury, fashion and media businesses of the world. Moving Brands explains the design: We defined their brand narrative as 'realizing image potential' – an ambitious stance that focuses on the real business benefit they offer. The monochromatic identity system has an attitude and an edginess to appeal to their high-fashion audience. The mark references Blank's own editing process; it appears to be at the point of mid-creation, but still elegant. The soft colour palette and typeface nod to the family-focused values and love of tailored, crafted elements, and characteristics of the business that were often referenced in workshops with the Blank founders. Most importantly, the system provides a sophisticated, flexible foundation from which their own work can shine. A wonderful piece of work, from the physical to the digital media, that set a guide for all applications of the brand, being a perfect mix between sophistication, simplicity and neutrality.
Savvy, a multidisciplinary studio based in Nuevo León, Mexico, are no strangers to Minimalissimo, having previously featured their outstanding branding of Casa Bosques Chocolates. Today we are celebrating their latest design work — the branding of fashion label Håndværk. Håndværk is the Danish word that stands for hand-crafted or artisanal, and the branding reflects Håndværk's nature: elegant simplicity. Clean lines and a simple typographic treatment based on minimal Scandinavian and Japanese aesthetics, Savvy explains: We have communicated Håndværk's quality through a graphic language that is based on minimal aesthetics, predominantly white. Their principle of simplicity and upmost quality is always reflected in all supporting materials, from their packaging to the language used for their texts. From the superbly simple and elegant design finishes of Savvy, to Håndværk's clothing line itself, this is a perfect example of beautiful minimalism that is an absolute pleasure to share with you.
Nordic House
Nordic House is a a dry-cleaning company based in San Francisco who employed the branding talents of Anagrama from Mexico to develop the identity of its shop. Emulating Scandinavian design of strong geometric forms and a clean type within the colors of the cool nordic landscape, the result is this strong and minimal identity in all its collateral. It is as if the product, which is your dry-clean goods, will be delivered with the same level of freshness and clarity. I've always been a fan of Anagrama's work. Their designs are often thoughtful and creative and Nordic House is just that: simple and effective.
Sifang Art Musem Branding & Wayfinding
Singapore-based Foreign Policy Design Group are in charge of this beautifully simple branding and wayfinding design for the Steven Holl-designed Sifang Art Museum in Nanjing, China. What I love about this project is that the graphic design draws its power basically from language. Oriental characters are typically very visual and graphic in nature, and the composition of Chinese and English create an elegant balance that stands strong on its own. The use of black to accentuate the branding material is also very elegant. What a lesson in simplicity.
The contemporary cycling culture is really easy to embrace these days with beautiful graphic and packaging designs like James Greig, who is behind the clean and elegant brand and site, Cyclelove. It is a refreshing site that is actually less about bicycles and more about people and their bicycle lifestyles. And after I have spent too much time going through the photostream of all bike related images, the features on all bicycle paraphernalia, I found the perfect gift for fellow minimalist design-loving, bicycle-riding enthusiasts in this simple 'Just Ride' limited edition print of abstracted bicycle frames by Greig on heavyweight matt black paper with a white gloss ink, hand-numbered, and packaged in a custom CycleLove poster tube.
Norwegian Shipowners' Association
Lately I am much more interested in graphic design, so that is why today I bring you another piece of great minimalist rebranding for Norwegian Shipowners' Association, in this case, a project developed by the Norwegian Neue Design Studio. Norwegian Shipowners Association has around 160 members – shipowners in the tanker and bulk transport sector, short sea sector and offshore activities. We wanted to create an iconic, simple and elegant identity that would communicate NSA's universe as well as being serious, bold and forward-looking, showing NSA as a competent and global actor. Again I find this to be very effective work, with a great combination of simplicity and symbology, representing the open sea using just two rectangles in different blue tone colors. I hope to discover and share with you similar rebranding works that are just as impressive!
New Zealand Antarctic Research Institute
The design challenge for BRR was to capture the essence of Antarctica – 'The Earth's White Box' whilst retaining both the integrity of the scientific research and capturing the visual beauty of this majestic continent. The BRR team realised that information on this continent was like an iceberg floating in the ocean. As icebergs reveal a small section of themselves above the horizon whilst concealing a greater part underwater, there is a large percentage of information that still requires investigating for the betterment of our planet's future. This way the studio BRR explains the rebranding made for the New Zealand Antarctic Research Institute, an entity responsible for developing, managing and executing New Zealand Government activities in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, in particular the Ross Dependency. The result is a clean and plain, but at the same time very effective graphic design work, made with a simple combination of geometric shapes to appear as icebergs in the sea, as well as using a monochrome code and sans-serif typography. Just perfect!
Bauhaus Dessau
Berlin-based multidisciplinary creative hub HORT was charged with the daunting task of redesigning the identity of the icon of Modernism, the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation. The new identity's elements consisted of stationery, brochures, posters, tickets, website etc., but also the redesign of the signage of Walter Gropius' famous Bauhaus building. Given this, the studio wanted to make it clearly distinguishable what is part of the original structure and what new additions had been made. They followed the premise of strict typography and minimalist layout, standardised formats and no color. The chosen corporate typeface was Courier, the most generic and incidental typeface, in consonance with the studio's belief that a generic design would work best in order to make the distinction between old and new. An important alteration of Courier's "A" letter was made, saluting Herbert Brayer's existing logo on the façade of the Bauhaus Dessau building, and the new logotype is always set vertically. We decided to search for a solution that would relate more to the original ideas of Germany's most influential Modernist school instead of relying on the visual clichés connected to Bauhaus – it seems almost impossible to use circle, square and triangle nowadays without it coming across...

A York County man caught a burglar in the act and was able to hold the intruder until authorities arrived at his home, police said.
Robert W. Dierich, 44, of Camp Hill, was arrested and charged with burglary, robbery, simple assault and theft, according to Fairview Township police.

The owner told officers that he came home Monday to find a van in his driveway. He went to his kitchen and heard footsteps coming from the upstairs, police said.
Dierich came downstairs into the kitchen and tried to cover his face, and when
the home owner told him he was calling police, Dierich rushed at, shoved and tackled him, police said.
Dierich tried to get out of the house, but the owner was able to subdue him, police said.
Property from the home was later found in Dierich's van, police said.
He was placed in York County Prison on $20,000 bail.

Pros and Cons of Keeping a Tower On Top of Your Desk
Laptops and all-in-one computer monitors are a lifesaver for anyone struggling with limited space or too many cords. But when you want real power from your at-home computing machine, there's no better choice than a tower computer. The only problem is, where do you put it?
Before you drag that heavy new tower into your home office space, you ought to decide where you're going to put it. Your first instinct might be to leave it on the desktop right next to your monitor, but is that really the best spot?
To help you decide, we've put together a little list of the advantages and disadvantages to turning your tower into a true "desktop" computer:
- More leg space without a tower underneath.
- Easy access to plugs, ports and drives.
- It shows off the form factor of a beautiful tower computer.
- No cords on the floor.
- Plenty of ventilation.
- You won't accidentally kick it.
- Much less dust on top of the desk.
- Way less desktop space.
- It's easy to tip over.
- Closer to possible spills.
- You don't want to look at an ugly tower computer.
- Can get really noisy right next to your head as you're working.
- Less weight pressing down on your desk.
- Did we mention it's really easy to tip over?
Do you have a tower computer at home? Where do you keep it? Have any pros or cons to add to our list? Leave them in the comments!

For me the pros outweigh the cons. My Mac Pro isn't very loud and I can easily overpower it with my Audioengine A5 speakers :)
Oh, I like to keep it out of the way. I have a black aluminum case that's nice and clean, but I don't appreciate the distraction. If you've got a smallish desk like I do, it's simply not doable.
I built my own wooden case for just this reason, looks neat on the desk, keeps the floor free of cables, and is cooled with ultra quiet fans.
My desktop is off the floor, atop two-row rolling file cabinet to the right of the desk. Seems to provide a nice compromise. My machines at work all reside on the desk, behind their monitors but still making things a bit crowded.
Pro. Unless you have long desk. I keep it a couple feet away, well within arm reach.
Mine's on the floor, but only because I don't have enough desk space.
Floors are dirty, and I don't like that dust being near my computer, so for that reason alone I prefer to keep my tower off the floor.
Currently I have a small Micro-ATX case so had it on my desk for a year, was great because I had access to the USB ports. Unfortunately had to move it underneath the desk for several reasons:
1) Vibration
2) Noise
3) Heat
When I build a new PC, I'll be using silent components and will have better cooling, so will most likely prop it back on the desk. I have a reasonably wide desk so space isn't a problem. Visually I think it looks better on the desk rather than below.

Description of the data source, numerator, denominator, survey questions, and other relevant details about the national estimate.
From the 2006 National Immunization Survey:
Was the child ever breastfed or fed breast milk?
How old was [child's name] when [child's name] completely stopped breastfeeding or being fed breast milk?
How old was [child's name] when (he/she) was first fed formula?
This next question is about the first thing that [child] was given other than breast milk or formula. Please include juice, cow's milk, sugar water, baby food, or anything else that [child] may have been given, even water.
How old was [child's name] when (he/she) was first fed anything other than breast milk or formula?
Infants are considered to have been breastfed exclusively through 6 months if the responses to questions about age when first fed formula AND age when first fed something other than breast milk or formula both indicate that the child was ≥6 months when either occurred OR that the child has never had formula nor anything but breast milk.
Using a computer-generated list, the National Immunization Survey (NIS) identifies households across the United States with children aged 19–35 months and interviews the person who is most knowledgeable about the child's immunization status ("caregiver"). Survey years are combined to calculate breastfeeding statistics by year of child's birth (cohort) instead of the year in which the participant was surveyed. To calculate breastfeeding indicators by year of child birth, data are combined across all relevant survey years. Because children are 19—35 months of age at the time of the parent interview, each survey year represents children born over three years. For example, breastfeeding data for children in the 2006 birth cohort are obtained from NIS 2007, 2008, and 2009.
Any change to the objective text, baseline, target, target-setting method or data source since the Healthy People 2020 launch.
In 2012, the word 'breastfeed' was changed to 'breastfed' to reflect the data collected in the survey. Specifically, the NIS data relate to infants who are breastfed, not mothers who breastfeed.

The Great Gatsby

What is the prognosis of bursitis?
The prognosis of bursitis is usually very good. Sometimes adjustment of activities ultimately leads to the best outcome. Infectious bursitis can require surgical resection of the bursa and antibiotics for cure. Gouty and calcific bursitis can often recur.
Can bursitis be prevented?
Bursitis that is caused by injury can be prevented by avoiding or minimizing trauma to the area. Roofers will often wear protective shields on their knees to prevent prepatellar bursitis. If gout is treated long term, gouty bursitis will eventually no longer occur.

Jennifer: Meaning, Popularity, Origin of Baby Name Jennifer
Origin of the name Jennifer:
Cornish derivation of Guinevere, which is from the Welsh Gwenhwyfar (fair lady). Until the 20th century, Jennifer was largely a regional name. Now, however, it has become one of the most popular names in the English-speaking world.

- Comments and insights on the name Jennifer: | Edit
This is my best friend's name and when we were little, while all the other girls with the same name as her were going by Jenn, Jen, or Jenny, she just went by Jennifer which made her a little more unique because all the other 'Jennifers' we knew didn't go by their full name.
For more stories about women with the name "Jennifer," please visit The Jennifer Project blog: http://thejenniferproject.blogspot.com. You can share your story there, too! Thanks! -- Jennifer K
When you are a 'Jennifer' you will always be known by your first and last name, never just 'Jennifer'.
This isn't so true anymore, maybe if you were growing up ten or twenty years ago.
My father claims that just before I was born (NYC, 1968), there was a television commercial for Reingold beer that showed a young couple rowing in Central Park, drinking a Rheingold and trying to come up with a name for their new baby. The name they agree upon is Jennifer. My father believes this is the reason for the sudden spike in baby girls named "Jennifer" in the New York area in 1968. Has anyone else heard this story?
I was born in May of 1973, my mother told me that the movie "Love Story" with Ali McGraw and Ryan O'Neal had come out in Dec 1970 - and that is why so many girls of that era are named Jennifer. Pretty popular, tissue box movie...women loved it. - Jennifer C
My mother got my name from "Love Story" too! - Jennifer H
There was also a popular song by Donovan, "Jennifer Juniper", which came out in 1967, not too long before "Love Story".
I was born in 1972. My parents thought that I was going to be a boy so did not have a girl's name picked out. A day or so after I was born my dad saw a Gerber commercial with a little girl named Jenny Rebecca, so I was named Jennifer Rebecca. I have always known lots of other Jennifers around my age.
I was born as Jennifer in 1966 and have generally been the oldest Jennifer in the crowd. Most seem to be a few years younger coinciding with the popularity of Love Story. My parents feel they THOUGHT they were being unique... I have a sister Jessica who is also a few years older than the "explosion" of Jessicas in the '80's. Oh well for uniqueness.
My dad wanted to name me Barbara Jean- thank GOD my mom won that battle! I go by Jenn (was called Jenny growing up- gag!) but Jennifer's fine too- seems like a mouthful for most people though.
There were two Jennifers on my block growing up and I got to be "Big Jen" because I was the oldest. When I was a sophomore in high school one of the neighborhood kids was a freshman. Excited to see someone she knew on her first day she screamed across the quad at me: "Hi Big Jen!" My sophomore cool self just about died of embarrassment.
I was born in 1969 and the musical Camelot had been very popular that decade. My mother wanted to name me Guinevere but decided Jennifer was more modern. I went by Jenni in high school and now mostly by Jen. I like having a flexible name.
I was born in 1990 and I've always known AT LEAST 3 other Jennifers all of whom went by Jen, Jenn, or Jenny. Don't get me wrong I love being "Jen" but its kind of annoying when everyone else is too, and its really hard to outgrow Jenny which starts to sound really juvenile in college.
- Personal experiences with the name Jennifer: | Edit
When I went to the public library growing up, if I forgot my card, I could tell the librarian that I was the seventh Jennifer on their computer screen with my last name.
Every Jennifer I met growing up was nasty, so it really put me off the name. (Sorry to all you nice ones out there!)
I've met only one nasty Jennifer, and I've met plenty of Jennifers!
In my grade school class of 24 kids, 5 were named Jennifer. For our kids, it will probably be a name that sounds like someone's mom.
I was born in 1964 and was named Jennifer. My mother loved the name but my father hated it and never called me by my name. All through school (elementary and high school) there were always a lot of Jennifers in my classes. Even after going out into the working world, there has always been AT LEAST one other Jennifer in my office. One office I worked in there were three of us so we had to go by Jenny, Jen and Jenn. When I had my daughter I named her Alexandra since we loved the name and didn't hear it too often. There has hardly been any other Alexandras in her schools but there have been several Alexanders.
I was born in 1981, and while the name was still popular, there were never any other Jennifers in my classes- I think I made it to college before finding another and even then, there weren't many of us. Ironically, at my last job, there were 3 Jennifers and we all sat w/in 8 feet of one another. One was Jennifer, one Jen, and one Jenn (me). Got a little crazy when someone would call out for us- we'd all turn and look.
I was named Jennifer in 1984 and when I was a senior in high school there were 6 other people that shared my name. In one class. Including the teacher!
Directly following the above note, my daughter is named Jennifer (born 2001). The irony with her name began with the fact that I wanted her to have a mainstream name. I detest parents that feel they must give their child a name that makes them stand out and be original. First, children want nothing more than to fit in. Second, a child should stand out based upon character, not their name. The irony here is that in her school, there were no other Jennifers in the second grade, and I have yet to meet one at all in the primary school. So the names like Tenley and Caitlan are common place and Jennifer is the unique one.
My sister is called Jennifer, she prefers Jen. Sometimes our family call her Jennifart- Ha!
My mother's name is Jennifer. She absolutely haaaaatttttessss her name but I think it is a cute, sweet name. I like the nickname Jen, too. When she was little she went by Jenny. I think that is so cute! Every Jen I've known has been extremely sweet and very pretty. <3
-My mother's name is Jennifer, she doesn't mind her name, but she doesn't really like how common it is for her age group. she does wish that she had been named Guinevere, since Jennifer is derived from it. for a while she went by Jennifer Lee, which was her middle name, sometimes Jenny Lee, which I really like. in all of my years of school I have never met a fellow student named Jennifer, but I have met plenty of teachers and mothers named Jennifer. So this name would be good if you wanted an uncommon name with the age group, but not a truly bizarre uncommon name that no one has. it also has a lot of nicknames. my mom is a leader in the La Leche League and in her group there are 3 other leaders named Jennifer, one goes by Jenn, one goes by Jenni, one goes by Jennifer and my mother got the short end of the stick and goes by JJ ( her middle initial is J, after she got married she legally changed her middle name to her maiden name Jaffee)

EE debuts SIM-only 4G taster plans, adds 12 more towns to LTE network
Summary: The UK's first major 4G network has been extended to a handful of towns, while EE has started offering 30-day SIM-only plans giving users a bit of LTE data without a full-on contract.
EE has taken the wraps off a 4G taster product: a series of 30-day SIM-only plans.
The five plans, announced on Wednesday, all come with unlimited UK calls and texts, and data bundles of between 500MB and 20GB.
For the smallest data limit, users will need to pay £23. A 1GB limit is available for £28, 3GB for £33, 5GB for £38 and 8GB for £43. The most expensive option, with 20GB of data, will come in at £63.
EE also revealed a further expansion of its 4G network on Thursday, with another 12 towns now able to get its LTE services.
Ashton-under-Lyne, Chatham, Gillingham, High Wycombe, Merthyr Tydfil, Oldham, Oxford, Rochester, Runcorn, Sale, Stafford and Wigan are all now covered by EE's 4G network, the operator said.
Thursday's additions bring the total number of towns and cities under EE's LTE umbrella to 74 — home to roughly 50 percent of the UK population between them.
The operator, the first to launch widespread 4G coverage in the UK in October last year, hopes to cover 98 percent of the population by the close of 2014.

LOS ANGELES -- San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey won the National League batting title with a .336 average on Wednesday.
Posey went 0 for 2 with a strikeout in his team's regular-season finale, a 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He is the first Giants player to win the batting crown since Barry Bonds hit .370 in 2004. Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen finished second at .327.
"I don't think it's something that you ever think about doing," Posey said. "It's such a long season, and from day one, you try to grind out at-bats no matter what the situation is. And if you can go up there and are able to make some adjustments, good things will happen."
In May 2011, Posey broke a bone in his left leg and tore three ankle ligaments on a horrific collision at the plate, an injury that sidelined him for the rest of the season.
"I give a lot of credit to our entire training staff for all the work they did in the off-season to get me back on the field," he said. "Even though this is an individual accomplishment, there's other people who deserve credit."
The previous catcher to win the NL title was Ernie Lombardi of the Boston Braves, who hit .330 in 1942. The last catcher to win in the AL was Minnesota's Joe Maurer in 2009.
Posey's teammate, Melky Cabrera, had a .346 average, but the All-Star game MVP was disqualified from the batting race at his own request after he was suspended Aug. 15 following a positive test for testosterone.

Friday's live music scene includes the funky Styletones with SDMA-nominated drummer, Jake Najor at Bar Pink.
The Styletones are playing at Bar Pink and they throw one of the most fun dance parties to get in on -- it's actually impossible to have a bad time when they're performing. The San Diego Music Awards are around the corner and this seems like as good a time to mention open voting as any. The reason to mention the music awards is because Jake Najor will be on the kit, who's part of three separate nominated acts that are nominated in four categories. In fact, he also performed drums on "Mercy," the new track from TV on the Radio, which is blowing up on the charts. So the guy is a machine. And you can see him -- for free -- seems like a no-brainer for a Friday night.

Episode 2 is up! Lots of cool stuff in today's build, so watch the video here:
"Welcome to Episode 2 of the Island Survival Dev Diary.
In this episode, I'll go over the changes made during Day 2 of the game's development.
I added 4 new objects to the game, shown here, with Collision detection and depth sorting for all objects now working properly.
I also started on a simple in-game editor, which will be included in the full version of the game.
You can open and close the editor at any time by pressing E.
While the editor is open, you can toggle the grid overlay by pressing G. Pressing the key again will change the grid mode and another press will turn it back off.
You can place tiles by first selecting the tile type in the toolbar, and then clicking or dragging the mouse in the world to paint those tiles.
I've added simple texture patterns to the tiles to make it more obvious what material they represent.
Pressing the arrows on either side of the object preview window will allow you to choose an object, which you can then paint in the same manner as tiles.
Currently there is no way to paint objects and tiles separately or to delete objects once placed, but I'll add those features soon.
That concludes Episode 2. Thanks for watching."
