text:
Most of the literature on the Native experience in North America falls into one of two categories. There are, on one hand, the fictionalized novels and more substantial ethnographic studies—sometimes seriously researched, other times romanticized or over idealized—describing Native life, beliefs, and values prior to the encounter with white government officials, settlers, and missionaries. And then there are the reports and monographs, historical, linguistic, anthropological, etc., depicting what happened in the tragic encounter between these two populations with the subsequent demise of traditional Native life brought on by a seemingly endless trail of torture, tears, and broken treaties.
What has to date been far less present in the literature is a serious exploration of the profound Christian experience found among certain Native peoples for whom Christianity has become "a fundamental part of their culture and world" (The Jesus Road, p. 7). The fact that such a reality even exists will likely come as a surprise to many readers, since "scholars more often than not choose either to dismiss it altogether or pose it as mere assimilation into the American mainstream" (p. 5).
Yet the truth of this reality is the clear message and perhaps the single most fascinating contribution of The Jesus Road—a small but powerful volume about Christian faith among the Kiowas of southwestern Oklahoma.
The study acquires a particular richness due to the collaboration and diversity of its authors: Luke Eric Lassiter, an anthropology professor at Ball State University; Clyde Ellis, a history professor at Elon (N.C.) University; and Ralph Kotay, a singer, hymn-instructor, and member of Oklahoma's Kiowa Tribe. The "window" employed by the authors for gaining insight into Kiowa faith and understandings is the corpus of indigenous hymn texts composed, or "Spirit-inspired" as the Kiowas would describe it, by Kiowa Christians since the arrival of Christianity in their region during the final decades of the nineteenth century.
There are five principal sections to the book. In the introductory chapter (pp. 1-14), Luke Eric Lassiter provides background information on the migratory patterns and history of the Kiowa people and describes in some detail the genesis of the hymn-collecting project. Clyde Ellis follows with an historical section (pp. 16-68) in which he paints the broader picture of U.S. government policies and early missionary efforts on the Kiowa-Comanche-Apache Reservation. Ellis also offers various explanations as to why so many Kiowas chose to follow "the Jesus road" during this period and how that decision has shaped their identity ever since.
A third section, by Lassiter, takes more of an anthropological approach (pp. 70-84), examining the cultural roots of traditional Kiowa songs and showing their musical and thematic connections to the hymns that have gained such significance in the Christian community. A fourth section, entitled "Kiowa Hymns and Their Deeper Meanings" (pp. 85-110) is edited by Lassiter and Kiowa singer, Ralph Kotay, and offers a song-by-song commentary on the twenty-six hymn selections found on the CD attached to the inside back cover of the book. An Afterword, written by all three authors, serves as the final section of the book (pp. 110-119) and emphasizes the importance of indigenous hymns as a valuable, though often overlooked, source for studying and understanding American Indian Christianity.
Mennonite readers will no doubt be interested to know what connection this study has to Mennonite churches and mission efforts in southwestern Oklahoma. Curiously, the word "Mennonite" is not listed in the book's index, though it does appear at numerous points throughout the text (pp. 24, 30, 43, 47, 58, 60, 61, 62, and 63). All of these references, so far as I can tell, are to Mennonite Brethren mission initiatives with the Comanche which first begin in the region in 1896.
It would appear from this study and other documents that the attitudes of early Mennonite missionaries to the creation and development of indigenous hymnody among Native American Christians reflected the spirit of the times. Christian converts, it was thought, should sing Christian hymns. And that, of course, meant European-American hymns—the ones loved, sung, and introduced to new believers by the missionaries themselves. Mennonite schools, like the one in Darlington and elsewhere, included in their curriculum hymn instruction classes. And considerable energy was exerted as early as the late 1890s to translate these hymns into local languages.
When Cheyenne songs with traditional Cheyenne tunes were introduced in certain Mennonite mission churches in the 1940s, General Conference missionary-linguist Rodolphe Petter no doubt captured the sentiments of many when he declared: "The new Cheyenne songs… are not the spiritual food or expression which growing Christians should have. They catch the Indians simply because their tune is like that of the heathen and peyote people" (in Lois Barrett, The Vision and the Reality, 1983, p. 31).
That is why The Jesus Road is such an important volume. It will force readers to take another look at the complex relationship between traditional spirituality and authentic, contextualized faith. And it will throw new light on the deeply grounded conviction of Vida Chenoweth and other Christian ethnomusicologists that, "when a people develops its own hymns with both vernacular words and music, it is good evidence that Christianity has truly taken root."

May – Stabilization
The sun will be in Taurus and will continue to deliver lots of positive energy and vitality, resulting in a harmonious period. You will have good opportunities, and you should take advantage of them. You will probably make the right decisions intuitively, feel self-confident without being arrogant, and will be able to work well with others. However, the sun will leave Taurus after May 21st to move into Gemini and form a square. The support you've been receiving from the sun will be reduced significantly. People might suddenly work against you. You should expect this, and prepare yourself for the disappointment that might result. That's the way things are sometimes. What's important is that you know what's coming for you so you're not surprised. After June 21st things will be getting much better.
Good Conditions for Business Through the Middle of the Month
Mercury will retain its quincunx position through May 13th and continue to encourage Virgos to consider whether everything is going well in their careers, or whether they'd like to make some changes. Mercury will move into Taurus on May 13th to create a highly positive trine position, so you'll be receiving strong support from Mercury in all your communications. You'll be able to express yourself clearly in writing and in speech as your intellect is firing on all cylinders. You'll also be flexible, others will perceive you as youthful, and you'll be favored in your business endeavors.
Venus will retain its square position through May 19th, so you'll be more aware of the less aesthetic sides of life. You'll probably face different negative situations. Unpleasant people with vulgar expressions, bad food, unpleasant rumors. If you happen to step in dog droppings, you should just remember Venus - whenever it moves back into a positive position, these kinds of issues will be rate. It will be back in a positive aspect after May 19th. After that, everything will suddenly change for the better.
Mars Warns Against Overexertion
Mars will still be in a very good position and will continue to give Virgos plenty of power and energy. Your work will seem much more easy than usual. After May 16th it will leave its peak position and encourage you to use the power it sends correctly. This is a good time to consider whether you're wasting your energy in any way.
Jupiter will be in a very favorable position for Virgos through November 8th, forming a sextile with your sign. Things in your life will reach a good flow. Sometimes you really can make progress without too much effort. However, in the long term it's better to utilize all the skills you possess.
Your relationships with other people will generally be good, even with people who have some influence and could help you out during this time. As for you, you'll be radiating lots of enthusiasm and optimism, which is contagious. Keeping the peace is also very important now, and this is a favorable time for your finances.
2018 is the ideal year to start new projects
Saturn will be in Capricorn throughout the year, forming a positive trine. That means it will have a stabilizing effect on Virgos' lives during this time. However, since Saturn is associated with negative karma, we might not always be confronted with the things we need to hear. Any projects you start now will go well over the long term. Now is the time for your best results with real estate and anything to do with properties. If you work hard now, you're certain to reap the rewards – just maybe not right away.

Bugs Fixed
InnoDB: For each insert,
memset would be called three times to allocate memory for system fields. To reduce CPU usage, the three
memset calls are now combined into a single call. (Bug #17858679, Bug #71014)
Replication: When used on a table employing a transactional storage engine, a failed
TRUNCATE TABLE was still written to the binary log and thus replayed on the slave. This could lead to inconsistency when the master retained data that was removed on the slave.
Now in such cases
TRUNCATE TABLE is logged only when it executes successfully. (Bug #17942050, Bug #71070)
For indexes on prefixes or character string columns, index corruption could occur for assignment of binary data to the column due to improper character counting. (Bug #18359924)
INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries could cause a server exit. (Bug #18319790)
Solaris-specific scripts were included in and installed by non-Solaris packages. (Bug #18305641)
EXPLAIN on a query with an
EXISTS subquery containing a
UNION could cause a server exit. Multiple executions of a prepared
EXPLAIN on a
UNION of subqueries could cause a server exit. (Bug #18167356)
The client library could cause clients to exit due to incorrectly mapping the client error number to the corresponding message, if reallocation of packet buffer memory occurred. (Bug #18080920)
Executing a correlated subquery on an
ARCHIVE table which has an
AUTO_INCREMENT column caused the server to hang. (Bug #18065452)
mysql_get_server_version() with an invalid connection handler argument caused the client to exit. Now it returns 0 and reports a
CR_COMMANDS_OUT_OF_SYNC error. (Bug #18053212)
On Windows, calling
mysql_thread_init() call without
mysql_init() caused the client to exit. windows. Now it returns a nonzero result because it is an error to call
mysql_thread_init() before the client library is initialized with
mysql_library_init(). (Bug #17514920)
A statement of the following form broke row-based replication because it created a table having a field of data type
BIGINT with a display width of 3000, which is beyond the maximum acceptable value of 255:
CREATE TABLE t1 AS SELECT REPEAT('A',1000) DIV 1 AS a;
(Bug #71179, Bug #17994219)
CMake produced not-useful warnings about
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES policy. (Bug #71089, Bug #17905155, Bug #17894997)
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE could use all CPU if import errors occurred when there were no line delimiters. (Bug #51840, Bug #11759519)

Rough and Rugged Race
View 2018 Race Times
Date: August 31, 2019
Time: 10:00 AM
Location: 175 acres of cliffs, mud, trees, creeks, and obstacles at Skyview Ranch.
Course Distance: 5 Kilometers
Price: $50.00, which covers your entry fee, your parking, your t-shirt, and post-race refreshments (you know, to wash that mud and fire taste out of your mouth). Register before July 1 and save $5.00 off of your entry fee!
Sign Yourself Up
Where is it?
Skyview Ranch. More specifically, the race is taking place at 7241 Township Road 319, Millersburg, Ohio 44654.
What is it?
The Rough and Rugged 5K Mud Run is an annual event here at Skyview Ranch. This event is all about endurance, pushing your limits, and challenging yourself among fellow runners who share your enthusiasm for getting in the mud. The course stretches across our beautiful 175 acres of beautiful and rugged terrain. Cliffs, hills, fire, and water only serve as some of the obstacles you'll face as it seems every turn has something that stands between you and your sanity. It might be rough, but whether you're a team or an individual, you will be competing for the Golden Mucking Boots of Glory.
Why is it?
The race is being put on for three reasons.
Firstly, the staff at Skyview Ranch like having fun.
Secondly, this race is raising funds to scholarship summer camp for hundreds of children next summer. Skyview Ranch serves children from all around the country, giving them first-rate experiences like horseback riding, blobbing, rafting, high adventure, paintball and much more. More importantly, Skyview provides a safe, caring atmosphere to let children know that God loves them, and has a plan for their lives.
And finally, Skyview wants the local community to know that it is available to serve all of its neighbors, from allowing residents to swim in its pool and go fishing in its pond, to catering events like reunions and church gatherings. What better way to let people "tour" the Ranch, than a race. And what better place to do a tough competition like this, than a 175-acre Ranch where the natural setting lends itself to the challenge.
Who is invited?
Anyone over the age of 18 from anywhere in the US can compete. All race participants are required to sign a liability waiver before starting the race. If you are under the age of 18, you must be accompanied by an adult (to the event, not necessarily through the race), and the parent or guardian must sign the liability waiver before the entrant starts the race. No minor under the age of 14 may compete in this race under any circumstances.
The Route
The route crosses nearly all of the 175 acres at Skyview Ranch, for a total distance of approximately 5 kilometers. Obstacles include steep hills, near vertical wood-tie stairs, Pine Lake, gorges, underground tunnels and plenty of artificial obstacles involving fire, water, and mud. This course is not for the faint of heart.

Hi everyone!
Summer is definitely gone, isn't it?
School has started. My oldest went to kindergarten!!
It pinched my heart when I saw the bus take her away for the first time. But she seemed happy when she came back so it was OK. It's full day kindergarten here which means that she leaves at 8:25 and comes back at 4:00. It's a really big leap from pre-school where she was doing 9 to 1:00 3 days a week. But we'll be fine. ;) And now I have my little one (3 years old) to entertain because big sister is gone all day! At least it's easier to put her down for her nap now that big sister is not here. Everything is much calmer, and let's face it....BORING! lol
Ok so I'm here to show you some more weeks of my Project Life album! yay!! :)
This is Week 28
I love the tiny tags to write just a little tiny note on the pictures.
Here I aligned 3 very similar pictures to show the relationship between my two girls.
Here's to the relationship between Arielle and her swim teacher. That was something to see!! :) Beautiful!
I think you can't tell but here's a 6x12 insert.... I'm thinking of adding a tab to make it more clear.
I rarely use these 3x4 journaling cards. I often have too many photos I want to show off.
Another tiny tag.
Here's the other side of the insert.
And here is the right page:
(the little "today" tab over Maya's head is a wooden paperclip holding something in place in a further week)
Here are some detail shots of the right page:

If you haven't determined what you will be this coming October 31st, word on the street is telling us that the top-selling costumes capturing the look and the essence of this year's season is pop culture. You will be all the rage if you dressed as something "now".
The top picks for Halloween 2010 are (you can add your drum roll here if you so please):
Lady Gaga (any outfit….just go as Lady Gaga), MTV's Jersey Shore (obviously Snookie is a season favorite), and Avatar (yes, Avatar is still big this year). What do you think?
Side Note: While recently shopping for a costume. I came across a Lady Gaga outfit for a baby. I had to have it and give it to my girlfriend who has a small infant. Now if she isn't a big hit in daycare, really, I don't know what it's going to take.

3D Viewer
The SonarScope-3D viewer is an add-on to SonarScope software, providing an innovative and high-performance 3D viewer for any type of data produced by SonarScope, in a complete realistic world.
Data input type :
- Images, textures (shaded DTM, Backscatter image, etc.),
- Water column data (other vertical images to come...),
- Vertical data (seismic data, subbottom profiler data, single beam sonar data, ...),
- multi-point objects (ex. bubbles)
- many to come...
DTM elevation and resolution are properly rendered, and doesn't consist on a simple image draped over software own's DTM, as it is for a GoogleEearth export. Vertical exaggeration can go up to 20 which should suffice for most sea floor representation.
It can also handle any georeferenced scientific data (oceaonagraphy, geology, etc.) downloaded from WMS server.
It is primarily aimed at displaying DTM, with real resolution rendering, and water column data, but it can also handle other data types, such as points, vessel navigation and other features detected by SonarScope algorithms.
Take the tour, and watch the following demo videos that highlight viewer's capacities :

Pionneering water column data visualization
SonarScope 3D Viewer has been designed to display any kind of image, including vertical images such as water column data. Hence this viewer is an important part of water column data processing, enabling user to correlate water column data features to seabed features on batymetry or backscatter.
The next picture shows compensated water column data imported into SonarScope 3D viewer, along with corresponding bathymetry and vessel navigation.
SonarScope-3DViewer is a complete standalone application based on NasaWorldWind technology and its powerfull 3D engine. It is developed in Java, and available on all platforms runnning NasaWorldWind.

After a minor setback during the week, on Wednesday, when I walked half a mile to get some milk and came back with a chest pain as well things have improved.
On Friday I tackled the hedge outside our house. Managed to break a sweat without further pains. So I'm fairly sure I will be OK for work, tomorrow.
As I'd finished the meds I also started making some sawdust on Friday. Continued this yesterday. One major project and two minor ones on the go now. I finally got rid of my old planer, more room in the shop. Still no pain. Also as a result of my week of inactivity there are quite a few ideas waiting to come to fruition.
I appreciate the concern that all of you have shown during the last week. I feel a lot better doing something, I make a lousy patient.
Be seeing you.

Black Suite
The top floor of this Manhattan townhouse is redesigned to accommodate private spaces for two men, a painter and a dancer. The entire interior is wrapped in high-gloss lacquer paneling, concealing various programmatic components, including storage, dressing rooms, a water closet, audio-visual equipment, and elevator access. The form of the wrapper is "mute" - relying on the tried-and-true minimal detailing of aligned joints, flush surfaces, and recessed hardware. The intricate character of the space instead comes from the precisely calibrated performance of the material finish - reflections, distortions, and visual amplifications caused by the interaction between light and surface.
In this way, the new black surface paradoxically accomplishes what is often attributed to white spaces - a sense of openness, expansion and luminosity. It also achieves what neutral surfaces rarely do, a constant state of change, depending on both one's position within the space and the penetrating light conditions from without. The project reflects our interest in designing immersive spaces, the kinds environments where details recede into the background as the overall atmosphere takes over.

Wine and Leftovers
Yesterday I took my heritage turkey carcass and simmered it all day with onion, celery, carrot, garlic, thyme, sage, rosemary, allspice, clove, bay leaf and peppercorns. Strained it off and added the picked off turkey and egg noodles and salt and pepper. Awesome, now we will be having leftovers of the leftovers. Had some great friends over and enjoyed some outstanding wines:
2008 Buty Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc/Muscadelle, quite refreshing with nice acid from the Sauvignon Blanc and great floral notes from the Muscadelle.
2001 Christom Jessie Vineyard Pinot Noir, the nose on this wine was stunning, great earthy notes with some light fruit hints in the background. On the palate the wine still showed great fruit and had enough acid and tannin balance to be drinking great. Loved the wine.
2003 Flowers Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Very ripe fruit on the nose and palate with lighter tannins, The acid seemed a little high but still was drinking quite nice.
2005 Betz Clos de Betz, what can you say, stunning wine, drinking great, acid, tannin and fruit all in balance with great structure.

The IT divisions in some companies are familiarized with the challenge of having to repair a PC and having to connect with it from another location in invest in to enable you to determine what decided to go wrong. Symantec pcAnywhere is definately an application that may assist in joining toward a computer that previously has this tool mounted.
Resulting from the giant proportions of the set-up file, it may possibly spend some time up to the point folks can download and install it on their PC. At the time set up, the primary windows really should be utilized in order that citizens can opt the type of steps they would like to conduct.
Symantec pcAnywhere 184.108.40.2066 may be used to whether slightly influence an extra PC or to facilitate the other work station to connect to the run without the need for some additional issues. The perfect appeal in with this application is multiple operating systems are supported, then it admins can hook up with and mend any PC of their network.
Also, admins can transmit commands to the associated PC even in case they have not practically viewed its valuables - therefore, he or she can slightly de-activate, reactivate, sign away from or secure the PC for preventing malicious software from scattering or to terminate an error.
On the other hand, Symantec pcAnywhere could also be used for switching computer files from two laptops or computers proudly located within just the comparable network. Doing this may be initiated with fairly simple commands like clone and mixture.
Bearing in mind this software option would be handled mostly at IT professionals, the tool enables them to manage multiple dynamic training sessions at the the exact same time, and they can browse through them by means of keyboard set shortcuts or by simply clicking the specialized thumbnail.
All in all, Symantec pcAnywhere can be described as aspect-packed application that comes in handy to all of people who want to from another location connect with laptops or computers and do a wide range of decisions free of as little insight from the targeted PC as they possibly can.

|Zurich Insurance fined £2.3m over customers' data loss

Zurich Insurance says its loss of customer information was "unacceptable" The UK operation of Zurich Insurance has been fined £2.3m by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) for losing personal details of 46,000 customers.
It is the highest fine levied on a single firm for data security failings.
Margaret Cole, the FSA's director of enforcement and financial crime, said: "Zurich UK let its customers down badly."
Stephen Lewis, chief executive of Zurich UK, said: "This incident was unacceptable."
The data on policyholders, including in some cases bank account and credit card information, went missing in August 2008.
However, Zurich did not become aware of the loss until a year later, when it began notifying customers.
The information went missing during a routine transfer to a data storage centre in South Africa.
The FSA said in a statement: "Zurich UK failed to take reasonable care to ensure it had effective systems and controls to manage the risks relating to the security of customer data resulting from the outsourcing arrangement."
"The firm also failed to ensure that it had effective systems and controls to prevent the lost data being used for financial crime."
Margaret Cole added that Zurich "failed to oversee the outsourcing arrangement effectively and did not have full control over the data being processed by Zurich SA."
"To make matters worse, Zurich UK was oblivious to the data loss incident until a year later."
"Firms across the financial sector would do well to look at the details of this case and learn form the mistakes that Zurich UK made," she said.
Zurich said that it had no evidence the data had been misused. The firm said it had introduced new security measures, and appointed a dedicated information security officer.
Mr Lewis said that the incident "served to remind us of the need to strive continually to improve the ways in which we seek to protect customers' data."
As Zurich agreed to settle at an early stage of the investigation the firm's fine was reduced by 30%. Without this discount the fine would have been £3.25m.
Experts said the size of the fine sends a signal that the authorities will crack down hard on data loss.
Rupert Casey, partner at Macfarlanes law firm, said companies and organizations had previously failed to take data loss seriously.
"That stemmed from the fact that data protection law never had any bite to it. That has all changed."
"What this fine should do is drive the issue up the agenda," he said.
"Better encryption of data, password protection, and measures to ensure large files cannot be downloaded to devices like memory sticks must all improved", he said.
The FSA has previously fined HSBC, nationwide and Norwich Union for data loss.

Mentoring inspires aspiration
We were so moved by this note that we received from our long-time mentor Brendan Raftery:
Neira is a senior at Boston Latin, and participated in Media Team last year. She showed a strong interest in pursuing a career in biomedical research, and was really interested in attending MCPHS, so I have kept in touch with her since the end of the program last year.
I wrote her a letter of recommendation for MCPHS, and found out that she got in (along with a merit scholarship)! When I was talking to her earlier today, she said, "hopefully I'll be the person to discover the cure for cancer."
That statement really struck me, because in many ways it shows the work that we do coming full circle. Knowing that I was able to help inspire someone to pursue a similar career path to mine, and on top of it to have them attend my alma mater, is about as rewarding as it gets.
Science Club has clearly done its job in encouraging young women dream bigger with Neira's aspiration to cure cancer. It also aligns perfectly with Millennium's mantra, "We Aspire to Cure Cancer."
Brendan, we and the young women in the media team are so lucky to have you!

Regarding Trauma: William Burroughs on Courage
Whenever I worry that, for whatever reason, I might fall apart completely, or when I know someone who's falling apart, I always think of these lines.
You never have real courage until you have lost courage. Lost it abjectly, completely... bolted, crawled. And there is no exhilaration equal to courage regained. That is why it is almost always fatal. How can you top it? And if you haven't got anything left to top, what are you waiting around for?
Never fight fear head-on. That rot about pulling yourself together, and the harder you pull the worse it gets. Let it in and look at it. What shape is it? What color? Let it wash through you. Move back and hang on. Pretend it isn't there. Get trivial. And what will they serve at this faculty party? Some lethal acidic punch no doubt, just the thing to bring on my hiatus hernia. A dreary parade of faculty parties and office parties to remind you that acute fear and boredom are incompatible.
There are many ways to distance yourself from fear. Keep silence and let fear talk. You will see it by what it does. Death doesn't like to be seen that close. Death must always elicit surprised recognition: "You!"
The last person you expected to see, and at the same time, who else?
When De Gaulle, after an unsuccessful machine-gun attack on his car, brushed splintered glass off his shoulder and said, "Encore!," Death couldn't touch him. You don't say, "Oh, You again!" to Death. Death can't take that.
Francis Macomber and Lord Jim: courage lost. They both bolted. Courage regained: Death.
William Burroughs, The Western Lands, p. 246

This comes to mind: I like how Max von Sydow confesses his chess-playing strategy -- as if to a priest -- in the midst of the 1957 Bergman film The Seventh Seal, only for Death to reveal himself as the priest who is receiving the confession. Bergman (a knight returning from a crusade) is playing a chess match with Death -- win and he lives. But with his strategy thus revealed, it is in effect the actual death knell, but on the other hand, it frees him on some level, and the film ends on a macabre yet liberating dance of "crack the whip" -- von Sydow and his colleagues surrendering to "the dark angel". Burroughs' words are magical. Ah, where to start. Faculty: hah. Faculty parties: hah. As if. I may be mistaken, or just wishful thinking, but I think that von Sydow says "You!" when Death reveals himself as the priest. Whether he said it or just thought it, that's the brilliance of the moment, in that film. I agree about courage; think first, no matter what.
