With less than a week left before Election Day, Donald Trump has his sights on Pennsylvania, a state which has traditionally been a Democratic stronghold, but has been ravaged by Hillary Clinton's globalist trade policies.
"Pennsylvania has lost almost 40 percent of its manufacturing jobs since NAFTA — a deal signed by Bill Clinton and supported by Hillary Clinton," Trump said during a Tuesday rally in King of Prussia. "The City of Philadelphia has lost more than one-third of its manufacturing jobs since China joined the World Trade Organization — another Bill and Hillary-backed disaster."
"For the average Rust-belt voter, Trump's sentiment on trade hits home in a personal and powerful way," wrote the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza in a piece praising Trump's King of Prussia speech titled, "Donald Trump gave a very, very good speech today in Pennsylvania".
"It resonates. There's no question about it," former Democratic Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell has said about how Trump's message is received by Pennsylvania voters.
Indeed, as Bernie Sanders' campaign pointed out earlier this year, Pennsylvania has been devastated by Clinton's trade policies:
The North American Free Trade Agreement cost 850,000 good-paying jobs in the United States, including 26,300 in Pennsylvania. Normalized trade relations with China which led to the loss of 3.2 million jobs including 122,600 in Pennsylvania. Sanders opposed both agreements while Secretary Clinton supported them.
Clinton supported NAFTA, the WTO, and China's entrance into the WTO. Even as recently as the first presidential debate, Hillary Clinton defended her husband's globalist trade policies of the 1990s, insisting: "I think my husband did a pretty good job in the 1990s."
When Trump attacked NAFTA and described it as "the single worst trade deal," Clinton defended the trade agreement, declaring, "Well, that's your opinion."
Sanders' campaign has explained that the result of these trade policies have "been that Pennsylvania workers lost jobs that went to Mexico, China and other low-wage countries."
Sanders highlighted how Pennsylvania has lost thousands of manufacturing jobs as corporations have shifted production to Mexico in pursuit of cheaper foreign labor.
In February, just a few days after Carrier Corporation in Indiana announced the lay-off of 1,400 Indiana workers, "Cardone, the Philadelphia auto-parts rebuilder which calls itself the city's largest remaining manufacturing company, [announced it] will shift 1,336 workers from its brake caliper plants [in Philadelphia]… to a plant in Matamoros, Mexico," Philly.com reported. "The company, which has been shifting production from Northeast Philly to the lower-wage Texas-Mexico border region for years, told the Pennsylvania Department of Labor last month about the layoff plan."
Since the early 2000s, Cardone's headquarter office in Philadelphia reportedly shrank by roughly 3,000 workers. The report noted that "the company was moving the brake work to Mexico because the 'entry level' manufacturing work is 'particularly sensitive' to cheap foreign competition."
In 2015, Allegheny Technologies shuttered two steel plants in Pennsylvania, "laying off 600 workers due to a surge in cheap imports from China," Sanders' campaign said.
In 2013, General Electric got rid of 950 jobs for Pennsylvania workers from its plant in Eerie, Pennsylvania and shifted the jobs to Mexico, Sanders' campaign similarly noted.
In 2011, "Baldwin Hardware, the internationally renowned maker of high-end brass fixtures that has been based in Reading [Pennsylvania] for more than a half-century, [announced it] no longer will make those products locally and 159 employees will lose their jobs… it plans to close and vacant the plant [in Reading] and transfer most manufacturing to Mexico," the Reading Eagle reported.
In 2009, Hershey laid off 300 Pennsylvania workers when it moved its York Peppermint Patties Plant from Reading, Pennsylvania to Monterrey, Mexico, "where workers are paid a fraction of what they were paid in Pennsylvania," Sanders campaign highlighted.
At the time, ABC reported that Hershey "is building a 1,500-employee factory in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey to replace plants it closed in the USA and Canada." The report explained that one of the big reasons for the move is cheaper labor, noting that "workers in Mexico's processed food industry earn an average of $2.70 an hour" as opposed to a skilled machinery operator in Hershey, PA who "earns $19 to $25 an hour."
In 2008, Sony laid off 560 workers when it closed its last television plant in the United States. Sanders' campaign noted that the company moved the plant, which had been located in Westmoreland, Pennsylvania, to Baja, Mexico.
As President of the Steel Workers Union Leo Gerard has observed, "in the first decade of this century, America lost 56,190 factories, 15 [factories] a day."
During his June speech addressing the issue of trade, Trump explained that Pennsylvania workers have been "betray[ed]" by politicians like Hillary Clinton, who have pursued a policy of globalization that has shipped Pennsylvania jobs to Mexico. Trump said:
The legacy of Pennsylvania steelworkers lives in the bridges, railways and skyscrapers that make up our great American landscape. But our workers' loyalty was repaid with betrayal. Our politicians have aggressively pursued a policy of globalization – moving our jobs, our wealth and our factories to Mexico and overseas. Globalization has made the financial elite who donate to politicians very wealthy. But it has left millions of our workers with nothing but poverty and heartache. When subsidized foreign steel is dumped into our markets, threatening our factories, the politicians do nothing. For years, they watched on the sidelines as our jobs vanished and our communities were plunged into depression-level unemployment. Many of these areas have still never recovered. Our politicians took away from the people their means of making a living and supporting their families… Many Pennsylvania towns once thriving and humming are now in a state despair. This wave of globalization has wiped out our middle class. It doesn't have to be this way. We can turn it all around – and we can turn it around fast.
Trump has warned that if Clinton were elected president, she would continue to expand upon her husband's legacy on trade by approving the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
"NAFTA is the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere but certainly ever signed in this country and now you want to approve Trans Pacific Partnership," Trump said during the first presidential debate. "You were totally in favor of it and then you heard how I said how bad it was and if you win, you would approve it and it would be almost as bad as NAFTA."
Clinton played a "leading part in drafting" the TPP, according to Bloomberg, and is on record of having praised the agreement at least 45 times, according to CNN.
While Clinton now claims to oppose the deal, in a private speech made public by WikiLeaks, Clinton made clear that she believes politicians need to have "both a public and a private position" on every issue. During a closed-door speech delivered to Goldman Sachs executives, Clinton declared that her "dream" is for a "hemispheric common market with open trade."
Indeed, Bill Clinton said that the case for approving the TPP is "clear" during a CNBC interview last month. Similarly, Clinton's running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine, recently seemed to leave the door open to the possibility that a Hillary Clinton administration would pass an Asian trade deal similar to the TPP, declaring "you never close the door" on passing this type of multi-national trade deal.
In 2015 alone, Pennsylvania suffered a net loss of nearly 70,000 jobs due to the U.S. trade deficit with TPP countries, according to the Economic Policy Institute.
Clinton's support for globalist trade policies has earned her criticism from both conservatives and liberal progressives alike.
Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein has explained how the TPP will be "NAFTA on steroids" and will "enrich wealthy corporations by exporting jobs and pushing down wages." She and her party have argued that the deal essentially amounts to a "global corporate coup" that "would give corporations more power than nations" by letting them "challenge our laws."
Following Sanders' eventual decision to endorse Clinton, Trump made an open appeal to working-class Democrats, whom– Trump argued– Sanders had "abandoned" by endorsing "pro-TPP" Hillary Clinton.
"Bernie Sanders has abandoned his supporters by endorsing pro-war pro-TPP pro-Wall Street Crooked Hillary Clinton," Trump tweeted. "Bernie Sanders endorsing Crooked Hillary Clinton is like Occupy Wall Street endorsing Goldman Sachs."
"To all the Bernie voters who want to stop bad trade deals & global special interests, we welcome you with open arms. People first," Trump added.

Yoga Nidra for Sleep
Yoga Nidra for Sleep: in the modern day's scenario, carries much importance. Life has become hectic, fast and demanding for humans. The lifestyle demands continuous adjustment such that people are trying to cope with available resources and are adjusting to the changing world. Some become overactive, while few withdraw permanently. People failing to make adjustments, experience distress in personality development that a negative state is felt and this gives rise to psychological or mental problems arousing tension. This yoga is a technique providing body and mind relaxation.
Yoga Nidra for Sleep practices
Yog Nidra for deep sleep is one such practice where the awareness is of the internal mind. Literally, yoga nidra for deep sleep represents 'psychic sleep' i.e. sleeping with complete awareness. In this practice, the body sleeps, though the mind is awake listening to instructions. This state in Nidra yoga is termed as the hypnogogic state that is a state between sleeping and wakefulness. The origin of Yoga Nidra relates to the nyasa, the ancient tantric practice. This was adapted and presented by Swami Satyananda Saraswati in 1998 in a systematic way, though the scientific way was in the 1960s.
Yoga Nidra Techniques/Nidra Yoga Techniques/ Yoga Nidra Instructions
Yoga Nidra meditation is done in following stages:
1- Preparation such that the Shavasana posture is performed keeping the eyes closed. Here, initial body and mind relaxation is induced with awareness of comfort, stillness, breath, posture and by listening to the attitude of a witness and to the external sounds.
2- The body and mind must stay relaxed, then follow the practitioner and do according to his or her wish. A Yoga Nidra Sankalpa is taken; it should be positive, clear and short. Here you are expected to repeat the Sankalpa thrice mentally with full conviction, confidence, and determination.
3- This is followed by awareness rotation around the body in an organized and systematic manner. You are instructed to remain alert, listen to instructions and move rapidly your mind alone making no physical movements. This is known as yoga nidra for sleep and it follows a definite sequence beginning with the right side of your body with the thumb of the right hand and ending with right foot toe, then the same with the left side, back of the body, heels to the backside of the head and last front of the body, including forehead and facial individual features to the legs.
4- Natural breath brings changes in the breath flow and one becomes aware by watching it passing through the nostrils, chest, abdomen and the navel and throat. The practitioner becomes aware of the breath and counts it mentally.
5- Feel the emotion intensify and experience it fully such as pain, pleasure, heat, hate, cold, love and so on, visualize the dark space before you and this is known as chidaksha as per the yogic terminology.
6- Take the Sankalpa, repeat three times with faith, end Yoga Nidra for Sleep and become aware of persons, objects, and sounds. Stretch the body.
Yoga Nidra Benefits
There are plenty of Yoga Nidra Benefits on practicing regularly and some of them are:
1- Minimizing tension:
People stay in tension and have disorders owing to that. A high problem may be due to being in frustration and tension. These muscular, mental and emotional tensions can be released progressively through regular and systematic Yoga Nidra for sleep.
2- Relaxes mind:
Your brain is the mediator working between emotions, mind, and body. With the help of yoga nidra, your body stimulates the brain and it induces relaxation, clearing the nerve pathways. The yoga nidra awareness rotation induces flow of energy. Thus by the time you complete each step, the brain is relaxed completely and it brings mental relaxation.
3- Awakens creativity:
Creativity is a result of the calm and relaxed mind. This awareness enters deep into your mind and thus the intuitive and creative awareness is realized. On relaxing deeply, your unconscious mind finds solutions to problems, clears the entire block and awakens your creativity. During the practice of yoga nidra sleep, many things are visualized including experiences, repressed desires, conflicts, frustrations, painful experiences and lots more.
4 – Everyone Can Easily Do Yoga Nidra Sleep Meditation
Many yoga asanas are not easy for everyone. But yoga nidra sleep is an exception. yoga nidra sleep is a simple practice which can be practiced by anyone in this world. Kids to adult, young to old everyone can do yoga nidra. You can do this in any age. The only thing you have to do lie down and do it. If you are not capable of lying on the floor then do practice by sitting on a chair. Kids to older one everyone can do it.
5 – There is no chance of doing yoga nidra in a wrong way
Whenever you will lie down in savasana you just have to do one thing, follow the voice or audio which is slowly and calmly guiding you to do the yoga nidra. You just have to memorize some easy parts of meditation. The thing is whenever you will do yoga nidra you will feel a fresh and new experience. You might be amazed by knowing this that none of your experience will be wrong. If you feel asleep during this then also you will surely get the benefits because you unconscious mind will slowly soak up the whole practice and benefits.
6 – Easily reduce your stress
As you now know that yoga nidra sleep is meant for relaxation and deep rest. This will relax your nervous system and your stress will be reduced and you will feel better in health. You health mental and physical both will improve.
7- Meet and know your self-
Yoga nidra will not only relax your mind but it will open the gates to meet yourself.
Its not necessary to fix timings for yoga nidra. You can do it for five minutes or you can do 1 hour. It's totally your own choice and ease. You can easily hold some bedtime for yoga nidra. Just lie on your bed, wear your headphones, listen the audio and go to deep and relaxing sleep.
Regular practice is a must with Yog Nidra to understand the balance of conscious and unconscious mind. Avoid doing when you are badly injured and are under heavy medications. Enjoy the Yoga Nidra benefits knowingly.
You can also buy the yoga nidra book and yoga pants to get its benefits anytime you want, don't even need the net for it.

By Adam G. Staton
There is a constellation of schools of thought about excelling in your interview. No two interviews are the same. However, here are some practices to alleviate the unknowns and allow you to play to your strengths.
Do Your Homework
Research the team ahead of time. Focus on the specific group and the greater organization to speak intelligently about public goings-on at the company. This communicates your knowledge of the landscape, and enables you to formulate your strategy, questions and conversation topics.
Prepare your "Party Favors"
Whether you're hosting a large event or a quaint soiree', the same modus operandi holds true: If you're expecting 20 people to attend, plan for 30. While the interviewer should have a copy of your resume on hand, you still should be ready with a few copies. And, you never know who else may 'pop in' during your interview. So, be prepared with a copy for them. Most importantly, don't forget your copy that you'll use to take notes during the interview to draw correlations and conversational topics aligning with your background. Your formula for the number of copies to bring should be: # of interviewers + 2 extras + 2 personal.
Set the Stage – Appearance & Interaction
Albeit tricky, dress to match the company/group culture, if you can obtain that level of detail early on. If the group is business casual, aim for the 'professional end' of business casual without overdressing. This holds true for business professional attire. Ensure you're well-groomed, and not going too heavy on the fragrances as this can be distracting and even off-putting to the interviewer. Seem insignificant? This highlights your interview preparation, acumen, and respect for the interview process.
Opt for a Phone Interview (if it's an option)
Are you being offered to do a phone interview? Great! In a phone interview, YOU control the environment – you can have as many resources at your fingertips as necessary (resume, LinkedIn profile, company website, etc.). However, you need to ensure privacy and eliminate distractions and background noises. Nevertheless, you should still be prepared for a potential web conference, where appearance tips also apply.
Finish Strong
Most interviewers close by asking you if you have any (further) questions. THIS IS YOUR 2ND CHANCE TO SHINE. Prepare 5-7 questions that you can ask during and at the end of the interview. This propagates further dialogue and asserts preparation-based interest in the role. Do not waste the interviewer's time with empty questions like "What is the vacation policy?" Have some impactful questions (e.g., "I recall there being interest in candidates having the chance to contribute to 'project x'. This is a keen interest of mine. Is there still an opportunity within this role to work that project?"). MOST IMPORTANTLY, don't ask a question already addressed in the interview. This is perceived as asking a question for the sake of asking a question: a BIG no-no.
Are these sure-fire, guaranteed ways to ace your interview? Nope. Sorry, there's no magic formula. But realistic preparation increases the probability of both high performance and advancing to next steps in landing your dream job.

text: Edouard Francois. His work, a collection of heightened idiosyncrasies couple autonomy with interdisciplinarity, self-reflection with provocation, landscape with surface, context with graphics, libertarianism with ecology, to name but a few seemingly contradictory alignment. His projects require a playful new vocabulary, though the content is quite serious, perhaps unabashedly earnest. One look at the models that abound in the office and any criticism of choreographed duplicity is evaporated. The delirium he advocates is unaffected. The buildings are the models in direct translation. No snake oil. The project here, ultimately, boils down to a phenomenological appreciation of liberty in all its material guises.

I am pleased to announce our new Wears Valley / Cades Cove Meetup.com site where you can sign up for area events and meet new people! Meetup.com is not a singles website. It is a great way for local people to get out and try new things, for people who do not having bicycle partners to be able to ride with someone else, for RV'ers and other visitors looking to sample some of the local culture without going through the long ride, traffic and bother of going to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg.

text: Going through an addiction like substance abuse can have a huge effect on one's family. Recognizing the problem is the first step towards a person's complete treatment. The person needs to admit that he has an addiction and that he needs help. If he is determined to free himself of his addiction, he needs to seek help immediately. He can ask his family and close friends to help him find a system that can cure his addiction. The support of his family and friends is essential in the success of his treatment. The person who will undergo the treatment has to feel that his friends and family care so much about him that they want him to be free from an addiction that is slowly destroying his life. Going through drug rehab can be hard especially since he would be away from his family for a very long period of time. This may cause depression at some point which is why he must be closely monitored for early signs of depression. Finding the right drug rehabilitation center with competent staff is also vital to the success of the treatment.

As we enter the fall season it is once again time to prepare for the fall "Appointed Times" that God set for His people. Why is this important when they have not been observed by believers since the time of the Early Church? I believe the most important reason is that God said that these are "My appointed times", times He set aside for His people to reset their focus on Him:
"The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, These are the appointed feasts of the LORD that you shall proclaim as holy convocations; they are my appointed feasts." (Lev 23:1-2)
The Hebrew word translated as "feasts" in most of our Bibles is "moed", which actually means an "appointed place, time or meeting". The foundation of our faith goes back to the instructions God gave His people at Mt Sinai and actually even before that. If God saw a need to give instructions to His people to set aside their normal routines to come together and worship Him, should we not at least be willing to take the time to study and find out what the purpose and meaning of these times are? God doesn't give His people busywork, just to give them something to do, but has a specific purpose and reason for each instruction, whether we always understand what it is or not. God knew that we would tend to become busy with the activities of daily life and forget Him, so He gave numerous instructions for things that would remind us we are His people, to reveal Himself and His plan for us and our world.
If we look at the spring "appointed times" we will see how this works. In these events we can see how God used them to illustrate what He was going to do. When the time came that God was going to free the Israelites from slavery in Egypt the Israelites were instructed to place the blood of a lamb on the doorposts of their house so that the death angel would "passover" them and their firstborn would not die. In faith and obedience they did so, trusting that God would do as He said, and in effect they passed from death and were given new life. Jesus died on Passover to pay the penalty of our sin and as we, in faith, apply the "blood of the Lamb" to our lives we too pass from the sentence of death and are given new life.
The "Feast of Unleavened Bread" is closely tied with Passover showing us that the Israelites had been redeemed from slavery in Egypt and now they were to leave their Egyptian ways behind and walk with Him. Egypt is often used in Scripture as a symbol for sin and so in effect they were being told to leave their sinful ways behind and by faith walk according to the instructions God was giving them. Are we not also told that when we accept Jesus as our Savior we are redeemed from slavery to sin and the flesh and are to leave our sinful ways behind and in faith walk according to God's instructions?
In the midst of Passover comes the "Feast of Firstfruits" and occurs when the first crop of the year, barley, had ripened and was ready for harvest. But before they harvested their fields of barley they were to bring an "omer", which is about 2 quarts, as a firstfuit offering to the Lord. This feast pointed to the resurrection of Jesus from the grave and the fact that we too one day will be resurrected:
But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. (1Co 15:20, 22-23)
From there we count up the seven weeks plus one day to Pentecost. It was on this day that God came down on Mt Sinai and spoke to the Israelites giving them the 10 Commandments, the foundation of all the instructions He was going to give them. They were never intended to provide salvation to anyone but to provide a clear standard, a reference for living, for without a standard anything goes. Sin, the breaking of this standard, was now clearly defined and so could be dealt with. But God knew that no one would ever be able on their own to live up to this standard so God provided the Israelites with the sacrificial system. Through the sacrifices, a person who by faith believed that God would fulfill what He said He would do through their obedience, offered their sacrifice and was made right before God and drew near to Him. Many years later, after Jesus resurrection and ascension, on the day of Pentecost God sent His Holy Spirit to dwell in all those who by faith believed God's Word and accepted Jesus as their Savior, to empower and enable them to live according to His instructions enabling them to draw near to Him.
The upcoming fall "Appointed Times" have not yet been fulfilled but point to still upcoming events that have been prophesied in Scripture. But, they also point us to things in this present day that should wake us up and we need to act upon, which is where I would like to focus my attention, for what we do in the here and now will determine our future.
The first one, coming up on October 3rd this year, is the "Feast of Trumpets", "The Day of Judgment" and it also goes by several other names but I believe these two illustrate two important aspects of it. The Scriptures do not give much explanation about the Feast of Trumpets other than in Leviticus 23:24 where we are told it is to be "a memorial proclaimed with blast of trumpets". This of course should bring to mind the blast of the trumpet at Mt Sinai when God came down and spoke the 10 Commandments to the Israelites. Is this Appointed Time God's way of reminding us that He has given us instructions, His standard, for how we are to live and we need to make our choice to follow or not follow those instructions? But God leaves the choice up to us. Throughout Scripture we see God clearly showing the result of our decision. Through Moses it was, choose life or choose death, choose blessing or choose curses. In the Prophets we read time and time again how God pled with Israel to confess their sins, repent and return to Him so He can bring blessing and not judgment on them. In the New Testament the message also is to confess your sins, repent and turn to Him to inherit His promised blessings. This day should remind us that the day is coming for each one of us when we will have to stand before the Judge and give account for the choice we made. So, if we do nothing else, I believe that this day should give us pause and cause us to stop and consider our choice. If we have not yet made the choice to follow God's instructions than we need to carefully consider the consequences that God has clearly stated will result from this decision. If we have already chosen to follow God and walk in His ways then let's use this day to seek Him and ask Him to help us repent of those things in our lives that have come between us and Him as we prepare for the next Appointed Time.
I don't believe that it is by accident or coincidence that the ten days leading up to the next "Appointed Time", the "Day of Atonement", are traditionally called the Ten Days of Awe. Awe in the sense of respect or fear of God who is the Righteous Judge and who has said that He will judge all people and reward the righteous and punish the wicked. Our recognition of that fact should lead us to spend these days in searching our hearts as we began to do on the Feast of Trumpets and repent of any sin or other thing that God might show us so that we are right with Him on the Day of Atonement.
The Day of Atonement was the only day of the year that the High Priest could enter the Holy of Holies. There he sprinkled the blood of the sacrifice on the "Mercy Seat" of the Ark of the Covenant, seeking God's mercy for the forgiveness of his own sins and the sins of the people. The writer of Hebrews reminds us that Jesus who offered up Himself on our behalf is our High priest and that:
Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. (Heb 7:25)
True repentance requires three things, blood, confession and repentance. The Scripture says:
…without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. (Heb 9:22)
Jesus shed His blood to pay the penalty for our sins:
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace. (Eph 1:7)
But we must acknowledge our sins and shortcomings and confess them if we are receive God's forgiveness. But a simple confession is not enough. We can admit that we have sinned and done wrong but that does not mean we are sorry for what we have done or that we don't intend to do it again, so repentance is required. Repentance, teshuvah in Hebrew, means to turn around or to turn away from. It is only after we acknowledge our sin and determine to turn away from that sin that God willingly forgives us and puts us back in right standing with Him.
So while our sins, as believers, have already been atoned for through the blood of Jesus, the Day of Atonement reminds us that we are still living in these fleshly bodies and prone to sin and in need of the continual cleansing by the blood of Jesus. However, one day Jesus will return and we will experience the fullness of His atoning work when our transformation into His image is complete. But until then we should use this time period to seek God's help in revealing those things in our lives that hinder us in our walk with Him.
The last of the fall "Appointed Times" is the Feast of Tabernacles. While it reminds us of the years that Israel spent dwelling in tents as they wandered through the wilderness, it also reminds us that God dwelt in their midst in a very real sense. For His presence could be seen in the "pillar of fire" at night and the "pillar of cloud" in the day as it stood over the Tabernacle or as it led them through the wilderness. Following the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement it represents our restored relationship with God. As believers, it should remind us that God dwells in our hearts and we experience His presence through His Holy Spirit, which He has given us. But it should also cause us to look forward to that day when Jesus will return and dwell in the midst of His people during the millennial kingdom.
In this very brief explanation I have just barely touched the surface of the meanings and pictures that can be found in "God's Appointed Times". But we can see how God has already used the spring appointed times to reveal His plan, how these fall appointed times can help us to focus on our daily relationship with God and we can anticipate that He will also reveal His future plans through them. But it will require time and effort on our part to study these out so we can see the patterns and pictures throughout the Scriptures that reveal His plan and prepare ourselves. With the situation in our world today I think it is even more important that we become familiar with and understand God's appointed times. It is very possible that the time of God's fulfillment of these fall appointed times is at hand and we should be doing everything possible to prepare for that possibility. But even if that time is still a long way off yet we must be very careful not to fall asleep and become complacent:
For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. (1Th 5:2-6)
God loves us so much that He has given us these times and many other means to remind us to draw near to Him. Just as through the prophets He pled with Israel to repent and turn to Him so too does He plead with us to repent and turn to Him. It is time that we wake up and begin to utilize these times to prepare our lives for the days ahead.

Leadership Spokane is committed to the truism that leaders always learn. During the summer, I focus on topics off the beaten leader trail. Last week, I examined that strong leaders must acknowledge and deal with fear. This week, I remind our leadership community of the importance of asking for help. Yes, help. No one is omni-knowledgeable and leaders who reach out for help rise above the rest in their ability to make wise decisions. I have never been a fan of staff meetings in their effective use of time, but they do bring all the minds to one table to share wisdom for a collective, better solution. At a recent meeting of a board I chair, a board member, at the last moment, suggested a solution totally counter of the way I was thinking, but truth be told, a better means. A second board member suggested ways ahead that were brilliant. Asking for help is the right answer.
Jesse Lyn Stoner in her March 2015 blog "Strong Leaders Ask For Help" mentions nine benefits of asking for help: 1. It reminds you that you're not in charge. 2. It keeps you humble. 3. You allow others the opportunity to feel the pleasure of giving. 4. You get to experience gratitude. 5. You develop a realistic self-image. 6. You create a space for others to shine. 7. You learn what strength really is. 8. You become a more well-rounded person. 9. Your relationships become richer. All these reasons are perfect attributes of servant leadership when a leader supports those he or she leads by listening.
Lorie Corcuera in a September 2014 Inc. article "5 Mistaken Beliefs About Asking for Help" reminds us: "For so many of us, the idea of asking for help meant we were dependent, weak, uncertain or unsure of what do to. It meant we were not smart enough, good enough or worthy enough. So instead of asking for support, we try to do everything ourselves. We do whatever it takes to get the job done on our own, and in the end, we feel a sense of accomplishment for achieving the feat that was deemed impossible." Corcuera uses the African proverb "It takes a village to raise a child" as an illustration that it takes many to solve problems. Leadership is problem solving so the more the merrier is apropos.
The real challenge is the higher in leadership we rise, the harder the problems we are confronted with. Paradoxically, the more important our role is in an organization, the less likely we will be to ask for help. The strongest leaders listen to those around them. Asking the right questions to hear the right answers is a gift servant leaders hone over time. We all need to help to tackle tough challenges. Teamwork does make the dream work. Strong leaders ask for help.
"We're all imperfect and we all have needs. The weak usually do not ask for help, so they stay weak. If we recognize that we are imperfect, we will ask for help and we will pray for the guidance necessary to bring positive results to whatever we are doing." ~ John Wooden

Since the disaster, the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex in Japan has faced one problem after another. Power to the nuclear complex had been knocked out since Friday's quake and tsunami, and operators has had problems with the cooling systems that are needed to keep nuclear fuel from going into meltdown.
3 explosions have rocked the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex so far and Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan had admitted that four reactors at Fukushima Dai-ichi had leaked radioactive material. It is a bad situation expected to get even worse as operators try to find a way to avert a nuclear catastrophe.
With the problems there, countries around the world suddenly decided that nuclear power might not be such a safe option after all. No matter how safe you are or how much science you have behind you, if things gets bad at a nuclear power plant, the consequences could be catastrophic. Germany is the latest country to rethink their nuclear power plants.
Last year, the Singapore government also floated the idea of a nuclear power plant in Singapore. The government hasn't said much about the idea so far but with what's happening in Japan; I guess it's an idea that's not going anywhere.
A lot of people had died in Japan due to the earthquake and tsunami, but there could be another death on the horizon. The death of the nuclear power plants!

LAFAYETTE - The Lafayette Parish School Board voted 7-1 to balance its general fund budget Wednesday by shifting another $255,000 earmarked for new buses.
The bus money was moved to restore $240,000 in proposed cuts to a teaming program used at Lafayette Middle and Edgar Martin Middle that enables teachers to work as a team to plan and teach the same cohort of students.
The program has contributed to both school's improved performance scores, said board member Hunter Beasley, who led discussion to locate funds for the program.
Board member Rae Trahan cast the sole vote against the budget move while member Tommy Angelle abstained.
The board had deferred decisions about the budget at its May 24 budget meeting so the full board could vote on decisions related to preschool program funding.
The early childhood program needed $1.1 million to maintain its operations of eight Pre-K4 classes and four Pre-K3 classes that had been supported by federal Title I and Title I stimulus grants. At least five of the Pre-K4 classes needed general fund support of $325,000 and staff had identified $800,000 in Title 1 funding that could be directed toward remaining preschool classes.
By 9 p.m., board discussion continued on Title 1 cuts to support the program and whether to fund the 3-year-old classes or open up more classes for 4-year-olds on waiting lists.
"There are 4-year-olds who are not being put in at all into a Pre-K program. They are on a waiting list," said Trahan. "Those students (who) have an opportunity to get one year of Pre-K are not because we're focusing on a smaller group."
Board members Beasley, Greg Awbrey and Shelton Cobb supported funding both age group classes. The 3-year-old classes are at Truman Montessori and Alice Boucher Elementary, which is on the state's academic watch list.
"Those kids are still not going to be ready for kindergarten if we eliminate the 3-year-old programs there," Awbrey said. "I think in the end ?with one way we'll have some ready for kindergarten. The other (way) we'd have none."
Cobb questioned why the board didn't cut more from its capital improvement budget. During the budget process, the board reduced staff's request for eight new buses to four and on Wednesday further reduced the request to only one bus.
Transportation director Bill Samec said five buses are still needed, but could be leased for about $67,500.
As of 9 p.m., the board had only approved the proposed the general fund budget. The other proposed budgets were set for approval on Wednesday with the comprehensive budget proposal set for publication and public inspection from June 16-29.
A public hearing on the budget is scheduled at 4 p.m. June 29 followed by a special meeting to approve the budget at 4:30 p.m.

How the Devil
Wreaked Havoc in the Bible
"I, the Lord, do not change." (Old Testament, Malachi 3:6)
If one believes the Bible, then God ordered genocide and
animal sacrifices, for instance. But Jesus teaches: "Love
your enemies, do good to those who hate you" (Luke 6:27). He did not
teach the sacrifice of animals. Instead, He drove the animal merchants out of
the temple.
What do the churches have to say about this? Do they therefore think that the Old Testament is partially wrong or obsolete?
In their current catechism, the Catholic Church made the following binding statement: "The Old Testament prepares for the New and the New Testament fulfills the Old; the two shed light on each other; both are the true Word of God" (No. 140).
And in the "Lutheran Confessions," the Protestant Lutheran Church right up until today makes the following binding determination: The Old as well as the New Testament is: "the sole judge, regulation and guideline," according to which "all teachings must be recognized and judged, whether they are good or bad, right or wrong" (Formular Concordia from the year 1580, Epitome, Summary note 3).
However, when the "true Word of God" in the New Testament does not agree at all with the "true Word of God" in the Old Testament, then it is explained that God has in part changed His way of working and acting.
But in the Bible itself it is written: "I, the LORD, do not change." That is what it says for instance in the Old Testament, and in the New Testament one can read: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (see box above). Besides, the Bible contradicts itself within the Old Testament and within the New Testament. But then what should the reader orient himself to, if he wants to believe in the God of the Bible?
What is undisputed is that the people who wrote the Bible have changed. And one could ask: "Who inspired them in each case?" Only the Creator-God, whom Jesus called "Father"? Or another? Perhaps the devil?
Read on and decide for yourself what you want to think about this!
1) (a)God's good creation: Humans and animals nourish themselves from the fruits of the field
God said to the people: "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed
which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit;
you shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird
of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the
breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And God said to the
people: "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the
face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have
them for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air,
and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of
life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so. And God saw
everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good."
(c)Backing out: At least some animals are protected from being eaten
After some time God is said to have given the people the "commandments of
purity" and commanded them which animals they may eat and which they may not.
(b)The change:
Humans may spread fear and terror and eat everything that moves
After the great flood God is said to have spoken differently to the people: "The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea; into your hands they are delivered. Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood."
(Genesis 9:2-4)
Paul or one of his pupils - No abstention from
certain foods:
2)God: I commanded no sacrifices. They are an abomination to Me
God speaks through the prophet Hosea:
God said through the prophet Isaiah:
"I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of he-goats … incense is an abomination to me."
(Isaiah 1:11-13)
And through the prophet Jeremiah God said: "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh. For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. But this command I gave them, 'Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people …'"
(Jeremiah 7:21-23)
And through the prophet Amos God spoke: "I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and cereal offerings, I will not accept them; and the peace offerings of your fatted beasts I will not look upon. Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen."
(Amos 5:21-23)
God: Bring me sacrifices
3)Man and animal shall live in peace with each other
God's vision for the coming Kingdom of Peace was revealed through the prophet
And God said through Jesus:
"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."
(John 10:11)
Man shall kill the animal according to exact instructions
The Word of God according to the third book of Moses: When
offering a lamb, the priest "laying his hand upon the head of his offering and
killing it before the tent of meeting." "… the fat tail entire, taking it away
close by the backbone," he should "offer" to God.
4)Jesus corrects the Old Testament
Jesus of Nazareth: "You have heard that it was said … [in the Old Testament] … But I say to you … "
(Matthew 5:21-48)
Corrections to the Old Testament are
5)Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you
God said through the prophet Ezekiel: "Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, says the Lord God, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live?"
(Ezekiel 18:23)
The disciples James and John said: "'Lord, do you want us to bid fire come down from heaven and consume them?' But he turned and rebuked them. And they went on to another village."
(Luke 9:54-56)
Jesus of Nazareth: "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, 'Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.'"
(Matthew 5:43-44)
All enemies shall be killed. But the
virgins shall be left alive for the soldiers
6)Turn the other cheek
Jesus of Nazareth: You have heard that it was said, 'An
eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you … 'If any anyone
strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.'"
Retaliate like with like*
7)Man is justified by his "works", not through faith alone. It depends on the right deed
James: "What does it profit, my brothers, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? … You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone."
(James 2:14&24)
Jesus: "Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock."
(Matthew 7:24)
(Luke 10:25-28)
(Proverbs 24:12)
(Jeremiah 17:10)
Man is not justified by his works, but only
through faith. God chooses and rejects whomever he wants
8)God does not dwell in temples of stone
In the Acts of the Apostles it says: "Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made with hands, as the prophet [Isaiah 66:1-2] says: 'Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool. What house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest? Did not my hand make all these things?'"
(Acts 7:48-50)
God dwells in temples of stone
King Solomon said on the other hand:
"And so I purpose to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD said to David my father, 'Your son, whom I will set upon your throne in your place, shall build the house for my name.'"
(1 Kings 5:5)
9)God leads no one into temptation
James: "Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am being tempted by God' ... But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire."
(James 1:13-14)
God shall not lead us into
10)God favors no one
The Word of God through the prophet Amos: "Are you not like the Ethiopians to me, O people of Israel?' says the Lord. 'did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor and the Syrians from Kir?'"*
(Amos 9:7)
* So, God also led other peoples.
Paul: "For God shows no partiality."
(Romans 2:11)
Jesus: "Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."
(Matthew 7:21)
Jesus: "For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?"
(Matthew 5:46-47)
God apparently loves only the chosen ones and hates the others
Moses is said to have said: "Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it; yet the LORD set his heart in love upon your fathers and chose their descendants after them, you above all peoples, as at this day."
(Deuteronomy 10:14-15)
Paul: "… though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad, in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of his call, she was told, 'The elder will serve the younger."
(Genesis 25:23)
As it is written, (Malachi 1:2-3) "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.'"
(Romans 9:11-13)
11)The worldly authorities oppress the people. The Kingdom of God has nothing to do with this. It is "not of this world"
Jesus: "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's."
(Mark 12:17)
Jesus: "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you …"
(Matthew 20:25-26)
Peter and other apostles: "We must obey God rather than men."
(Acts 5:29)
Jesus: "My kingship is not of this world; if my kingship were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be handed over to the Jews …"
(John 18:36)
The worldly exercise of power,
also in totalitarian states, is justified with "God." God rules the people in
12)The children shall not do penance for the crimes of their parents and ancestors
God speaks through the prophet Ezekiel: "The soul that sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself."
(Ezekiel 18:20)
Descendants of the culprit in a crime will
be punished until the fourth generation
13) No difference between man and woman, between slave and
freeman, between people of different origins
The husband is the head of the wife and the wife is subject to the husband
Paul or one of his pupils: "For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church … As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be subject in everything to their husbands."
(Ephesians 5:23-24)
Cretans are defamed as liars
Titus: "One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, 'Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.' This testimony is true."
(Titus 1:12-13)
Physical injury resulting in the death of one's own slave is not punishable, for it is "his own money"
The Word of God according to the second book of Moses: "When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be punished; for the slave is his money."
(Exodus 21:20-21)
Women in the active following of Christ
Women should be silent
Paul or one of his pupils: "I permit no woman to teach … she is to keep silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with modesty."
(1 Timothy 2:12-15)
No follower of Jesus shall stand above the other
Bishops and teachers are given more and
more status
16)Theologians make of men "children of hell" and shut the kingdom of heaven
And: "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither enter yourselves, nor allow those who would enter to go in."
(Matthew 23:13)
Jesus accused: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! For you traverse sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves."
(Matthew 23:15)
The one who does not obey the priest shall
The Word of God according to the second book of Moses: "The man who acts presumptuously, by not obeying the priest who stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or the judge, that man shall die …"
(Deuteronomy 17:12)
17)The Spirit of truth will come in the future and lead the people into the truth
Jesus: "I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come."
(John 16:12-13)
Paul: "… for the written code kills, but the Spirit gives life."
(2 Corinthians 3:6)
The "Holy Scripture" is inspired by God. If
anyone says more than is in this book, he will suffer plagues
Avoid other cults and communities and do not fight them
* Theses: Jesus warned His disciples to
wait until the law of sowing and reaping, which is also taught in the Old
Testament, becomes effective. "Reapers" symbolize the time at which the effects
will start. The positive harvest takes place on the positive seed and the
negative on the negative seed.
Curse other cults and communities and
destroy their facilities
19) Do not use violence, reconcile and forgive
"Soldiers also asked him [John, the Baptist], 'And we, what shall we do?' And he said to them, 'Rob no one by violence or by false accusation, and be content with your wages.'"
(Luke 3:14)
"Then Jesus said to him, 'Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?'"
(Matthew 26:52-53)
"And Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.'"
(Luke 23:34)
Soldiers should kill with the help of God. Opponents will be chopped into pieces
"And Joshua said to them [the people], 'Do not be afraid or dismayed; be strong and be of good courage; for thus the LORD will do to all your enemies against whom you fight.' And afterward Joshua smote them and put them to death, and he hung them on five trees."
(Joshua 10:25-26)
"And Samuel said, 'As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women.' And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal."
(1 Samuel 15:33)
20)Forgive each other, so that may God forgive you
Jesus: "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you; but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
(Matthew 6:14-15)
Forgiveness is
possible only because the blood of Jesus flowed
21)Murder and bloodshed are diabolical
The Word of God through the prophet Ezekiel: "… because you are guilty of blood, therefore blood shall pursue you."
(Ezekiel 35:6)
Jesus: "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him."
(John 8:44)
God wants murder and bloodshed
22)The Ten Commandments according to Exodus 20 and Numbers 5*
And God spoke all these words, saying,
1. I am the LORD your God … You shall have no other gods before me
2. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy
5. Honor your father and your mother
6. You shall not kill
7. You shall not commit adultery
8. You shall not steal
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's house … wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor's"
(Exodus 20:1-17; Numbers 5:1-22)
* Two versions that claim to be the Ten Commandments that God
gave to Moses - which one is correct?
The Ten Commandments according to Exodus 34
23)To kill an animal is killing a human being
In the proverbs of the Old Testament it says: "A righteous man has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel."
(Proverbs 12:10)
And God spoke through the prophet Isaiah: "He who slaughters an ox is like him who kills a man."
(Isaiah 66:3)
All animals may be slaughtered
24) God created the animals and their living space with wisdom
Praise God in Psalm 104:
"Thou makest springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills, they give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst … The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the badgers … O LORD, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of your creatures."
(Psalm 104:10-11&18-24)
The purpose of animals is to be slaughtered
25)Creation groans in travail
In Paul's Letter to the Romans it says: "For we know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now …"
(Romans 8:22)
And of King Solomon it is reported: … he spoke also of beasts, and of birds, and of reptiles, and of fish."
(1 Kings 4:33)
Mass murder of animals in God's name
26)Rescue animals!
God gave Noah the task of taking the animals onto the ark, "to keep them alive," when the great flood comes.
(Genesis 6:20)
Kill the rescued animals!
27)Resurrection is possible already now
Jesus: "... he who hears my word and believes Him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgement, but has passed from life into death. Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live."
(John 5:24-25)
"I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me,* though he die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die ..."
(John 11:25-26)
* Jesus always meant an active faith, not a passive faith (compare no. 7)
The teaching of the "resurrection here and
now" is like gangrene
28)Children are invited
"Let the children come to me, do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God."
(Mark 10:14)
Children shall be dashed against the rock
29)Prophecy of future suffering: Even relatives will have each other killed
Jesus about the beginning of the time of woe: "And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and the children will rise against parents and have them put to death; and you will be hated by all for my name's sake ..."
(Mark 13:12-13)
Supposed call from God: Friends and relatives shall be killed
30) Parents and children should reconcile
Parents shall kill
disobedient children
31) Many people come to the Kingdom of Peace and beat their swords into plowshares
God's words through the prophets Isaiah and Micah: "… all the nations shall flow to it … and say: 'Come, let us go to the mountain of the LORD' ... He shall judge between nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
(Isaiah 2:2-4; Micha 4:1-3)
The Kingdom of Peace is supposedly to be fought for with swords against other nations. Then there will no longer be a stranger there
In the book of the prophet Joel, the original prophesy was rewritten into its opposite: "Let all the men of war draw near … Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears … Let the nations bestir themselves and come up … for there I will sit to judge all the nations round about. Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe … And Jerusalem shall be holy and strangers shall never pass through it again."
32) The people will be led astray by the dark power and incited to make wrong decisions
"Satan stood up against Israel, and incited David to number Israel."
(1 Chronicles 21:1)
It is said that it is God who incited the people and led them astray and later even punished them for this
"Again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, 'Go, number Israel and Judah.' "
(2 Samuel 24:1)

Disney responded this week to the mother of a child with Down syndrome who had petitioned the studio to include more disabled characters in its films.
On November 26, Keston Ott-Dahl hand-delivered a petition signed by more than 75,000 people to a representative at the company's Burbank headquarters with her three children in tow, including 17-month-old Delaney, who has Down Syndrome.
"There's no princesses like Delaney," Ott-Dahl told the San Jose Mercury News in November. "If you watch, the princes and princesses are the most handsome and beautiful people on the planet."
Now, Disney has responded to the petition. However, according to the Contra Costa Times, the company's response was "noncommittal."
"The Disney brand has always been inclusive," said Paul Roeder, senior vice president of global communications. "We constantly strive… to share compelling storylines from our studios and media networks that… reflect the incredibly rich diversity of the human experience."
Disney remains "committed to continuing to create characters that are accessible and relatable to all children," Roeder added.
Ott-Dahl told the Mercury News in November that she had initially been afraid of people with disabilities, as she had had little to no experience with them.
"I felt that people with Down Syndrome were a real-life inspiration for monster movies," Ott-Dahl said. "They scared me. They talk differently, they're friendly, and they touch you. I was a true 'ableist.'"
That changed about two years ago, after the child her partner Andrea Ott-Dahl was carrying in surrogacy for another couple was diagnosed with Down Syndrome, and the would-be parents pressed for an abortion. Instead, Keston and her partner decided to raise their "little warrior from heaven" themselves.
While Disney's response was hardly what she was looking for, Ott-Dahl told the Times that she was pleased to receive any acknowledgement from the company at all, and remains optimistic that her request will eventually be honored, or at least considered.
"And if not, I'll keep on 'em," she said.

Media Treat Far-Right Views as Mainstream
The perception informing this article can help pastors properly interpret political consciousness in media today.
By E.J. Dionne Jr.
Finally a popular columnist, E.J. Dionne Jr. writing in the Washington Post, says something I have been trying to articulate for many years. Even the so-called liberal press actually tends to tilt the public consciousness of the country to the right. The extremes of the conservative perspective are really extreme, but to "stay in the middle" the liberal press does not even cover the more moderate views of what it considers to be "the left." So the general public does not even become conscious of what may be very helpful proposals coming from the moderate left.
Let me say this in terms of political figures. My father thought of himself as a conservative, and really liked Eisenhower. In those years (the 1950s) the John Birch Society was considered wildly ideological and off the map of acceptable political views. Then, many Democrats talked about things like a quarenteed income for all and the need for a clear industrial policy to maintain a growing economy. But the Republican Party in the years since, beginning with Ronald Reagan, turned in a truly radically conservative direction, referring to all of government as bad and the primary source of social problems. If you read something about the beliefs of George Wallace and the John Birch Society you would be surprised to see much they reflect the beliefs of current Republican leaders, even on racial issues though now explicit racist appeals are replaced with code language. In other words, conservatives today are really, really conservative, way over there on the right. They have pulled the public consciousness so far to the right that the word "liberal" is itself a dirty word and a term like "industrial policy" refers to political views of the left that are no longer tolerated to be even spoken of in public. A Democrat like Barack Obama is considered at the extreme left when, as Dione says below, he is actually a very moderate Democrat. The regular media buys the conservative claim that Obama is way on the left.
This means pastors, who must preach into the public consciousness as created by the modern media, also are influenced to screen out what they themselves may tend to believe because their listeners will consider them to be "too far left." Pastors who tend liberal are like reporters who tend liberal, they are afraid of the screaming extreme right and thus allow the right wing views to gain dominance in public debate. What is needed is the courage to actually think through public issues and include the often very persuasive and common-sensical proposals coming from the left.
Thanks to E.J. Dionne for this column.
A media environment that tilts to the right is obscuring what President Obama stands for and closing off political options that should be part of the public discussion.
Yes, you read that correctly: If you doubt that there is a conservative inclination in the media, consider which arguments you hear regularly and which you don't. When Rush Limbaugh sneezes or Newt Gingrich tweets, their views ricochet from the Internet to cable television and into the traditional media. It is remarkable how successful they are in setting what passes for the news agenda.
The power of the Limbaugh-Gingrich axis means that Obama is regularly cast as somewhere on the far left end of a truncated political spectrum. He's the guy who nominates a "racist" to the Supreme Court (though Gingrich retreated from the word yesterday), wants to weaken America's defenses against terrorism and is proposing a massive government takeover of the private economy. Steve Forbes, writing for his magazine, recently went so far as to compare Obama's economic policies to those of Juan Peron's Argentina.
Democrats are complicit in building up Gingrich and Limbaugh as the main spokesmen for the Republican Party, since Obama polls so much better than either of them. But the media play an independent role by regularly treating far-right views as mainstream positions and by largely ignoring critiques of Obama that come from elected officials on the left.
This was brought home at this week's annual conference of the Campaign for America's Future, a progressive group that supports Obama but worries about how close his economic advisers are to Wall Street, how long our troops will have to stay in Afghanistan and how much he will be willing to compromise to secure health-care reform.
In other words, they see Obama not as the parody created by the far right but as he actually is: a politician with progressive values but moderate instincts who has hewed to the middle of the road in dealing with the economic crisis, health care, Guantanamo and the war in Afghanistan.
While the right wing's rants get wall-to-wall airtime, you almost never hear from the sort of progressive members of Congress who were on an America's Future panel on Tuesday. Reps. Jared Polis of Colorado, Donna Edwards of Maryland and Raul Grijalva of Arizona all said warm things about the president -- they are Democrats, after all -- but also took issue with some of his policies.
All three, for example, are passionately opposed to his military approach to Afghanistan and want a serious debate over the implications of Obama's strategy. "If we don't ask these questions now," said Edwards, "we'll ask these questions 10 years from now -- I guarantee it."
Polis spoke of how Lyndon Johnson's extraordinary progressive legacy "will always be overshadowed by Vietnam" and said that progressives who were challenging the administration's foreign policy were simply trying to "protect and enhance President Obama's legacy by preventing Afghanistan and Iraq from becoming another Vietnam."
As it happens, I am closer than the progressive trio is to Obama's view on Afghanistan. But why are their voices muffled when they raise legitimate concerns, while Limbaugh's rants get amplified? Isn't Afghanistan a more important issue to debate than a single comment by Judge Sonia Sotomayor about the relative wisdom of Latinas?
Polis, Edwards and Grijalva also noted that proposals for a Canadian-style single-payer health-care system, which they support, have fallen off the political radar. Polis urged his activist audience to accept that reality for now and focus its energy on making sure that a government insurance option, known in policy circles as the "public plan," is part of the menu of choices offered by a reformed health-care system.
But Edwards noted that if the public plan, already a compromise from single-payer, is defined as the left's position in the health-care debate, the entire discussion gets skewed to the right. This makes it far more likely that any public option included in a final bill will be a pale version of the original idea.
Her point has broader application. For all the talk of a media love affair with Obama, there is a deep and largely unconscious conservative bias in the media's discussion of policy. The range of acceptable opinion runs from the moderate left to the far right and cuts off more vigorous progressive perspectives.
Democrats love to think that Limbaugh and Gingrich are weakening the conservative side. But guess what? By dragging the media to the right, Rush and Newt are winning.
