The press people from Split have kindly supplied us with an interview from Ocean Colour Scene to give us a taste of what they will offer in Sunderland next month.
Ocean Colour Scene are bastions of British Rock and Roll. Enjoying success through the early 90s and onwards, they have been around for perhaps longer than many of us need reminding of our age! This year, Split Festival has been fortunate enough to grab Simon Fowler and Oscar Harrison to perform their critically lauded acoustic set and bizarrely but beautifully, the line-up has paired the folk rock feel of Ocean Colour Scene's discography with Dizzee Rascal's grime sound, ensuring that there really is something for everyone in Mowbray Park this August!
In preparation for this glorious spectacle, Split Festival caught up with Simon to pick his brains and his back catalogue:
Q: Morning Simon, pleasure to speak to you, are you excited about playing Split?
SF: Yeah, definitely, we've heard some great things about Split. We haven't done festivals for quite a while but it's always good to play festivals and playing outdoors as well.
Q: I'm interested to know how this 'acoustic set' idea came up?
SF: We started doing it probably about 12 years ago, I think it was because when Steve (Craddock) was working with Paul Weller at the time and we suddenly found that we had time on our hands and we thought 'well we could do these songs in this format which is how they were originally written really', so making the transition from the whole band to doing it acoustically is pretty easy.
Q: You have said yourself Ocean Colour Scene are a 'heritage band', would you argue this is your way of keeping things fresh?
SF: I guess so... Yeah it's a way for us to go and play at places Ocean Colour Scene [OCS] probably wouldn't usually play at. So we play at more out the way places, smaller festivals that OCS [as a full band] wouldn't play. As a band this year we are only doing, I think, one gig of OCS stuff because we did so much last year that we're going to have a bit of a break and then we will tour early next year. So yeah, like you said, it's a way of keeping it fresh.
Q: And again you've often been noted saying you prefer the folk side rather than the rock part, would you say this acoustic set helps to bring out the real you?
SF: I think yeah probably, I'm pretty ham fisted with an electric guitar (laughs). I'm a strummer, so it's the way I would naturally play and perform. Whether you want to call that folk music or not, I don't know. My early influences were Bob Dylan and Neil Young as I was learning the guitar as a child, so I sort of did what they did really.
Q: You mentioned Neil Young and Bob Dylan – The Stone Roses helped to combine all those sounds. What was it about them that specifically inspired you?
SF: It was contemporary, it was what was happening when we formed, the songs were great and it definitely brought a lot of the elements musically together in one place. But I guess really it was the songs.
Q: Do you miss the Britpop era at all? There was a great few lines from Noel Gallagher who said about OCS being the second best band in Britain and then Steve Craddock [guitarist in OCS] responding by saying "It's nice to be put behind The Beatles".
SF: Well it was encouraged I think because the press really got into the Blur/Oasis thing didn't they, and really what everyone else was doing was playing the past, you know. They were playing The Beatles and The Stones and ultimately it sells records and magazines and it was having that rivalry. I mean who is going to have that rivalry now? Jake Bugg and Ed Sheeran? (Laughs) 'I'm better looking than you'.
Q: (Laughs) Spot on, I mean would you ever be open to doing a collaboration with Jake Bugg?
SF: Yeah I would love too! I actually like Jake Bugg a lot and Steve's got to know a little bit about him.
Q: When you wrote 'Moseley Shoals' and then the rest of your catalogue of albums, did you aim to write something better than the last or was it a case of trying something different every time?
SF: I don't really plan it like that, you just sit down and I would start writing songs and that's how they are planned really...
Q: At Split Festival this year, you take to the stage immediately before Dizzee Rascal, what are your feelings on such a diverse line-up?
SF: I guess the idea behind that is that you have to cater for a large age group of people and that's exactly why they do it. It's always the same, look at the Glastonbury line ups for example, you've got a whole, I mean you've got everything you could want! As a festival, that's what you should aim to be doing, and Split are doing that.

Churches adopt churches in Harvey's wake
October 15th, 2017 / By: Morgan Collier / comments
After seeing the devastation of Hurricane Harvey, the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention knew they needed to generate more help for those affected by the storm. In the aftermath, the convention launched an Adopt-A-Church program that allows SBTC churches beyond Harvey's path to "adopt" churches within the affected areas.
The type of help a participating church provides depends on the adopted church's needs. Some have sent mud-out teams to help clean up the physical mess the storm left. Many churches are financially burdened; others might need supplies or materials for rebuilding.
"God is proving His faithfulness in new ways, as the Body of Christ mobilizes to meet immediate and long-term needs," Tony Wolfe, SBTC director of pastor and church relations, said. "He is doing this through the work of his church, turning tragedy into gospel opportunity."
Rising water did not take a toll at Forest Oaks Baptist Church of Houston. Instead, rain water seeped into the building, down its walls and onto the floor below through wind-damaged roofs. All in all, Pastor Kevin Barefield thought the church had fared well compared to its flooded neighbors.
But then talks with the insurance company revealed the most significant damage would be to their modest bank account. The deductible for roof and water damage could be as high as $36,000—more than the church could afford to pay.
Before the storm hit, the congregation was trying to find $30,000 to replace a failing air conditioner in the sanctuary.
As Barefield wondered how God would provide for the repairs, Stan Britton, pastor of The Church at Buffalo Creek in Rockwall, heard about the Adopt-A-Church program while attending an unrelated meeting at the SBTC offices. He immediately registered his congregation.
"We wanted to lighten the burden for them so they don't miss out on ministry," Britton said.
As Barefield awaits word from the insurance company, he has already heard the best news—Forest Oaks Baptist Church is not alone.
"There was a peace in my heart once I knew people were praying for us, coming alongside us," Barefield said.
Although floodwaters did not affect the church building of LaBelle Baptist Church in Beaumont, rising water did wreak havoc on many church members and their neighbors. During the storm, LaBelle Pastor Sonny Hathaway and a few others went around the community to rescue families trapped in their homes, bringing them to the church building for a safe place to stay.
After the waters receded, it became evident that many homes were damaged and the need for help was great. Hathaway spoke with elders from Normandale Baptist Church in Fort Worth about the church adoption ministry. Soon, a team was traveling from Fort Worth to Beaumont to assist.
"I was looking for a way to physically help people," Sarah Guenther, Grace Baptist Church member and a mud-out volunteer, said. "I'm a go-getter and I like to go do things with my hands, so this was a really great opportunity to actually help people first-hand, talk with them and give them a few words of encouragement too."
Normandale partnered with Grace Baptist Church and Solid Rock Church of Fort Worth to send a team of 28 volunteers to help clean out homes in LaBelle. During their time there, they were able to work in 16 homes.
"We have been very blessed through the work of God's servants who have come out here to help rebuild our community," Hathaway said.
The Korean Baptist Church of Corpus Christi, situated among modest houses a quarter mile off South Padre Island Drive, suffered numerous storm-related damages. San Antonio's University Baptist Church was ready to assist. So Pastor Randy Bales and the church administrator, Frank Corte, traveled to Corpus the week of Sept. 4 to assess the Korean church's needs, meeting with Pastor Wyun Ra and a church deacon.
"We went to see if what they need is what we can do," Corte said.
Bales called the visit with the Korean pastor "great," adding, "the damage they sustained from Hurricane Harvey was minimal, but they have very few resources to do the work needed. They took care of the needs of their congregation first."
At press time, University Baptist had plans to repair a downed fence and a damaged storage building, help identify sources of water leakage and help with plumbing issues, pastors Bale and Wyun Ra said.
The flooding from Harvey left Ridgewood Baptist Church of Port Arthur with water three feet high in their sanctuary, gymnasium and in three of four parsonages. The water inside Ridgewood stood for five days after water pumps in Beaumont stopped working.
Dustin Guidry, Ridgewood's pastor, said church members entered the property four days after the storm via canoe, but it was a week later before a vehicle could drive up. On Sunday, Sept. 3, Guidry and several members were able to access the property and start the cleanup.
Michael Criner, pastor of First Baptist Church Bellville, heard of Ridgewood's plight and his church decided to adopt Ridgewood, sending teams to help in the cleanup.
"On Labor Day, FBC Bellville sent a team of 35 people who took off at 4 a.m., got over here at 7 a.m. and stayed here all day to help us with cleanup and recovery," Guidry said. "We are very grateful for their help, and we joked with them often because they were actually laboring on Labor Day."
First Baptist Bellville not only sent work teams to Port Arthur but also to Rockport and other storm-damaged towns .
"The Lord keeps providing workers and servants to come in, and with our volunteers that were able to come work for 10 to 12 hours a day, we were able to fully clean out the sanctuary within the week," Guidry said. "We were actually able to meet in our building the following Sunday with an abbreviated service."
In Port Arthur, "this has definitely brought the local churches together as a whole, working together to get the community up and running as fast as possible," Guidry added.

When asked about the most valuable thing someone can have, many would think about money or materialistic and physical items. However, value is not about tangible possessions only, because in many studies where this question was asked, "health" was one of the main answers given. Which makes "health" and "wealth" two of the most common responses; we decided to study the relationship between these two.
Maybe you've never thought about a relationship between being healthy and being wealthy, however, there is a strong correlation between the two factors.
It is known, and experimented, that finances are of the main reasons for stress, and stress is one of the great reasons for health issues. So will being rich make you healthier?
Life expectancy in all industrialized nations has increased over the years, and studies show that wealthy populations live between 10 to 15 years more than poor ones. What make wealthier people healthier than their underprivileged counterparts, is the awareness level they receive due to their education and their exposure to good sources of information. Furthermore, wealthier people can afford better health care services and medical insurance. Also, they are more inclined to go regularly to doctors and health professionals and do some checkups even when no clear signs arose. Wealthier people can afford healthier lifestyles; from eating healthy food, which is most of the times more expensive, organic food for an instance, to getting a full access gym membership which might be considered a luxury for low income populations. All of this contribute in preventing illnesses and help cure diseases and other unwanted conditions.
While the above findings may show that wealthier people can be healthier, not everyone who is wealthy will live longer or become healthier than a deprived person. This is true due to many uncontrollable reasons such as; genetics and the difference between one body and another, incurable conditions and diseases, etc.
On another hand, a better health can also lead to a bigger wealth. A study made by the National Bureau of Economic Research which issued back in October 2011 was found that the top healthiest people in their fifties retired with three times the possessions of the least healthy. It also found that these people were able to save more money since they spent less on their health during these years. Also, staying healthy gives individuals more power to save for a longer time.
To improve your situation, there are things you can do now:

The revenue associate was very good. I can't think that I have a adore fitting to. If you're supplying, there's nothing fake about it.
Alpaca is even much more heat than wool, but not water-resistant. It makes fantastic slippers, gloves, socks, and hats but is a little bit as well hefty for sweaters. I do like using it for hooded zipper sweaters, although. It is extremely easy to work with adopt an alpaca you can find it for inexpensive if you keep your eye open up.
Anyway, if you're buying gifts this yr, these are some truly enjoyable alternatives to zhu-zhu whatchamacallits that you can really feel truly great about providing and that might just make the receiver feel good as well. Happy Holidays, and peace be!
The authentic source for Alpaca yarn Shedding wool is the Peruvian alpaca, but the phrase now refers to a more generic fashion of fabric.

Whether you're going to a concept park or considering about working at one, there are a number of myths you've most likely listened to. In the summer time of 2004, I determined to take a position working for a local theme park. Whilst there, I learned that a number of issues I thought I knew about theme parks were false. But, there had been also some things that were true. Here are just a couple of myths you ought to know about prior to visiting or working for a theme park.

A expecting Alpaca yarn Shedding will eat for herself and her progeny. Bear this in mind. Multiply her feed mass by a factor of 1.two and you can rest assured her younger is coated. Do not permit your expecting animals to turn out to be overweight. If the mom alpaca is obese, her delivery may be plagued with problems.
The FurReal Buddies Walkin' Puppies replicate the mid-sized Cocker Spaniel breed. There's two types, the King Charles Spaniel and the White Spaniel. Extremely comparable the Lil' Patter Pups the Walkin' Puppies also bark and wag their tails alongside with making whining and other pup seems. Unlike the prior strolling dog mentioned the Walkin' Pup actually walks within a circle and returns to you. Surprisingly the Walkin' Pups don't include a couple of of the awesome accessories an additional pups include. Nevertheless she's ideal for a young kid who usually ignores these additional accessories or for the mother or father whose not considering about keeping up with additional items. The Walkin' Pups retails at $19.ninety nine and operates off of three "AA" batteries.
Physical physical exercise can assist you "sweat out" tension hormones. Alpaca ranching provides plenty of chance for bodily exercise. Some of the activity needing to be carried out are herding alpacas and operating on fencing and pastures. A brisk five-ten minutes of scooping poop is all that's required to relaxed you down. You can study much more about scooping alpaca manure.

9/21/2018Love the movie and even more, love the songs in it. I was trying to find some good tutorials on youtube to learn to play this song, but ended up buying music notes because I guess this is the best way to do it. :) So, here I am... Great service!Brooke
8/9/2018Just saw the movie and I was so impressed with the cast. Brosnan and the rest of the people are amazing. But the music itself is a story of itself and on an even higher level. I am so glad I got these notes so I can start playing and performing not only for myself but for my friends as well. I loved the fact I was able to transpose it with ease. D major is simply better for me. Anywho,...Peter

Je suis content d'être allé voir le spectacle et de pouvoir le jouer sur mon instrument maintenant.Eva

As we approached the end of the school year, the literacy team took the time to assess each child involved in the program on an individual basis (we do this three times during the school year). It is vitally important to regularly take the time to assess the children, to check the progress they are making, and so we as a literacy team can make the appropriate tweaks to the program, in order for the children to develop the relevant skills.
The Grade 2 learners (in the first year of the program) have developed knowledge of letter sounds and blends, using these to read and spell simple words. All the children from the 3 schools we work alongside in Amaoti had made great progress. They're now able to use the knowledge and skills to read sentences. The graphs below show the progress children at one of the schools have made. The pink group are the children performing above average, the blue group are the children performing at an average level, and the yellow group are the children who struggle.
Graphs showing the progress made with the Grade 2 learners
With Grade 3 learners we have built on the knowledge and skills learnt in Grade 2, developing knowledge of vowel digraphs & split vowel digraphs. The children are encouraged and given many opportunities to apply this knowledge to the reading of texts. Children enjoy reading in English and are showing a good understanding of the texts. The graphs below show the progress children at one of the schools have made.
Graphs showing the progress made with the Grade 3 learners
Through this process, we've highlighted spelling as an area of concern. The graphs show that children's progress in spelling isn't in line with their reading skills. This is an area that needs attention; we've identified that they struggle to hear vowel sounds & distinguishing between vowel sounds 'a' and 'e'. As we move into 2014, we will ensure that further work is done with the children to help develop these skills. If you have any suggestions on how we can do this, I would love to hear from you – please send me an email firstname.lastname@example.com

Symbolic Execution Engine for Haskell
G2 is a symbolic execution engine for Haskell, a non-strict, functional programming language. Symbolic execution is a technique that runs a program with symbolic variables as inputs, and gives output in terms of expressions and constraints involving those symbolic variables. By using SMT solvers to solve the constraints, G2 can find concrete inputs to Haskell programs that satisfy assumptions or violate assertions.
G2 has been applied to generate concrete and counterfactual counterexamples for errors from the LiquidHaskell modular verification tool. Concrete counterexamples identify actual errors in the users code, while counterfactual counterexamples identify output specifications that must be strengthened to enable verification.

Verifications for Configuration Files
Modern verification technologies inherently depend on the availability of formal specifications, yet they are extremely labor intensive to create and maintain. This is especially the case for configuration files, which rarely have any documentation, even in written English form. Configurations are the values of system parameter settings; Incorrect configurations often lead to system misbehaviours such as exceptions, error code return, crashing or even core dump.
We have developed ConfigV, which is the first tool that can automatically detect complex errors involving multiple variables, and learn over a training set of partially incorrect configuration files. Since configuration files lack helpful semantic information to infer types, we use a probabilistic inference method to learn likely types for keywords based on their values from the training set. We combined this new type of information with a generalization of association rule learning that handles not just association rules, but arbitrary, typed predicates. We evaluated ConfigV by verifying public configuration files on GitHub, and we showed that ConfigV can successfully detect configuration errors in these files.

Do you like having your photo taken? Your response to this simple question can reveal a lot about your body image.
I've watched as some people get in front of their phone/camera, whip out the selfie stick and go into immediate 'selfie pose' while others jump behind someone else before snapping the picture.
Here's a way to get a bit more comfortable with yourself and curb the mean girl voice in your head that constantly tells you "you're not smart enough, you're not pretty enough, blah, blah, blah".
Using your phone, laptop, or digital camera snap a series of self-portraits. Try to capture yourself in different settings that represent your view of yourself. If you love to work out, you might choose to take a selfie at the gym. If you want to capture that you're a parent, take your photo at the playground or even the grocery store. The goal here is to find where you're most comfortable.
When you're finished, consider your comfort level during this exercise.
- Did you change into a particular outfit or put on makeup?
- Did you crop a part of your body from the shot? – don't judge yourself here, we've all done it!
- Were you tempted to position the camera at a certain angle to capture your "best shot"? If so, why?
Let yourself explore the relationship you have with your body image from a nonjudgmental place. The goal of this exercise is to simply notice the ways in which you project positivity and negativity on your body – not to beat yourself up for your perceived imperfections.
This exercise isn't meant to catapult you into super "I'm completely happy and content with my body image" frame of mind; rather, it starts the conversation. I did this exercise last week and was really surprised at how I view myself and how I love to hide some of my perceived flaws. Something to work on.
Let me know how it goes.

Melt the dark and white chocolates separately. Pour the chocolates into separate pastry bags. Cut small holes at the tip of each bag. Keep the chocolate warm on a heating pad or on a half-sheet pan over a barely simmering double boiler.
Pipe a 1/4-inch dot of chocolate on the top of each round cookie. Before the chocolate sets, place the pirate hat on top so that it covers the top of the head. The chocolate, once set, acts as glue.
Using the white chocolate, pipe a skull and crossbones on each hat.

Parenting is a lot like church planting. Both involve budgets, trying to balance life while not losing your mind, taking care of needy people, making sure you have a good place to call home, dealing with people who throw temper tantrums, all while trying to plan for the future and get along with the people you call "family."
The church is less of an organization and more of an organism. It's ever-evolving and growing, constantly flexing and changing. As you journey through different phases of church planting, here are a few things to keep in mind.
Don't overlook while you're looking ahead.
Currently, our kids are 12, 9, and 4 years old. One thing I noticed early in parenting is my tendency to want them to just get to the next stage, whether it involved walking, talking, sports, or whatever.
Just as parents should learn to embrace and love the stage their child is currently in, the same is true about your church. It won't always be this way, so embrace it for what it is right now. You won't always be able to know everyone's names, your payroll budget won't always just have one or two people on it, and you probably won't always just preach once or twice per weekend. Whatever stage your church is at, since it's Jesus' church, you can rest in the reality that He is at work. Don't overlook what God is doing while you're looking ahead for what's next!
Bigger/New/Next isn't always better.
I love that our kids are now at ages where we can carry on intelligent conversations with them, pray with them, and play sports with them. But gone are the days where I could hold them in my arms or rock them to sleep. As our kids near their teens, our schedules are filling up and the line is blurring more and more between my role as dad and dance team chauffeur.
Early on in our church, I couldn't wait for a bigger building, a bigger budget, and more people. I couldn't wait to have offices to meet in that were not located at a Starbucks. I was excited for the day we could offer employee benefit packages. Now we're there, and it's not all it's cracked up to be. Don't get me wrong – I'm thankful for it. But the reality is that "bigger" didn't solve problems; it just came with bigger, more complicated problems! There's a huge difference between renting 2,400 square feet and owning 32,000 square feet. A bigger budget provides more opportunities for ministry, but it requires a lot more work. I'm glad we have offices to meet in now, but we didn't have to clean our offices at Starbucks, or paint them, or worry about a roof leak when it rained.
Bigger/New/Next isn't necessarily better; it's just different. Enjoy where you are. It won't always be like this.
Be present.
As a parent, it's easier than we'd like to admit to miss out on key events in our kids' lives simply because we're working, planning, or preparing for something that seems bigger or more urgent at the time.
If you let it, your role as visionary leader in your church will take you away from being present in the moments and seasons your church is currently in. As the church grows, your leadership structure and systems will have to scale as well, making it harder to be in the details. There are many details you don't need to be in, but don't remove yourself completely. Embrace the seasons, stay in the ministry with people, and don't lose sight of the privilege that ministry is – even when it's messy.

Shazam: Zachary Levi shines in DC's sunniest film yet
Shazam! is the brightest and sweetest superhero film to come out in years. It is also one of the least ambitious. When superhero films in recent times are tackling things like war on terror and mass surveillance, Shazam! is a warm, funny film about family and the sheer joy of being a superhero. It centres on Billy Batson (Asher Angel), a 14-year-old kid who is looking for his mother with whom he was separated from when he was a toddler. He keeps running from one foster home only to find himself in another thanks to authorities who insist he will have to stay at one place until he is an adult. He is settled in one more foster home and asked to give them a chance, but is already looking to run away. In the meanwhile, he gets superpowers from an ancient wizard who says the survival of the world may depend on him proving worthy of those powers. Mark Strong's Dr Thaddeus Sivana was rejected by that ancient wizard as a kid and he has spent his whole life uncovering the secrets of magic. When he knows of the existence of Shazam, he confronts the unprepared superhero and demands him to surrender his powers or he will kill his foster family. It may sound quite grim, and I am pretty sure one certain filmmaker who directed two previous DC movies would have made it a dour affair. But David F Sandberg is having none of that. Shazam!, an adult, powerful costumed superhero that Billy can turn himself into, is unique in the sense that he positively revels in possessing superpowers, since he is simply a kid in an adult body. Shazam! is the perfect palate cleanser for comic-book films featuring superheroes who would rather be normal people but think the world and their career would not allow them to be so. Zachary Levi is simply superb as Shazam, somehow flawlessly bringing out the facade of a young boy from his 38-year-old face. One can see he is enjoying his job. Asher Angel is also pretty impressive. Jack Dylan Grazer, doubtless a future star, is one of the most entertaining actors in the film. He plays the role of Freddy, a disabled kid in Billy's foster home who is super-enthusiastic about superheroes and helps Billy realise his new-found superpowers. Shazam! is a breath of fresh air that DC Films needed.

Defense Tech had an article up today about the symbolic sabotage of a nuclear silo by a group of clowns, probably a ploughshares action. Now, granted, Defense Tech isn't actually a liberal bastion of military news, so I shouldn't have expected accolades in the comments section. Perhaps it was predictable that the first comment brought up the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, claiming that they "saved lives."
214,000 people died within four months of the bombings. Thousands of Hibakusha ("explosion affected people") died in the years to follow–every August, Japan publishes new figures. Last year, the toll came to 379,776 people who have died directly as a result of the bombs. Most of these people were civilians, living in a city left more or less alone throughout the war. (Some historians have suggested that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were deliberately left intact to measure the full power of the bombs, something which assumes that the use of nuclear weapons was a fait accompli.)
Another commenter claimed that firebombing in Japan took more lives–it is estimated that approximately 100,000 people had died from the firebombings, a far cry from the toll the bombs wrought.
405,399 American soldiers died in the Second World War. More probably would have died had we not bombed Japan: this is true, and it is a fact that I am not going to attempt to dispute. This would also have been a great tragedy, as all war deaths are. But I'm still not sure it justified the use of the bomb on the Japanese population as a tool to awe and impress. (Shock and awe?)
Some have argued that dropping the bombs was an act of state terrorism. One can see the grounds for this–the bombs were deliberately used on largely civilian targets for the express purpose of instilling fear and bringing about a desired political end. Leo Szilard, who played a role in the Manhattan Project, wrote that "if the Germans had dropped atomic bombs on cities instead of us, we would have defined the dropping of atomic bombs on cities as a war crime and we would have sentenced the Germans who were guilty of this crime to death at Nuremburg and hanged them."
There is also some historical evidence to suggest that Japan was on the verge of surrendering and that the bomb was not necessary. Douglas Macarthur, who was the highest ranking officer in the Pacific theatre, said that there was no military justification for the bombing, and considering that he was the man who would have led a ground invasion, that's a powerful statement. A large number of other military officials agreed and spoke out against the use of the bomb, before and after 6 August 1945.
Numerous organizations and historians have weighed in on the issue, including the District Court of Tokyo, which ruled that the use of the bombs was illegal by international law, "violat[ing] the most basic legal principles governing the conduct of war." Christian and particularly Catholic groups have also spoken out on the use of the bomb, including the Federal Council of Churches in 1946, which said: "As American Christians, we are deeply penitent for the irresponsible use already made of the atomic bomb. We are agreed that, whatever be one's judgment of the war in principle, the surprise bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are morally indefensible."
I would hope that all of us can agree the dropping of the bombs on Japan was a great tragedy which resulted in shocking destruction and loss of life–and mostly for an experimental reason, because no one fully understood what the bomb and subsequent radiation would do. Over one hundred thousand people, more than the population of my entire county, died in the bombings. I find it difficult to comprehend people arguing in all seriousness that the use of the bomb was justified when I have seen images from the bombing, read writings by military authorities arguing against its use, and read first hand accounts in books like Hiroshima.
I think that the important point most of these commenters appeared to miss was that the symbolic sabotage against the nuclear silo was not intended to be a statement about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the only historic uses of the bomb in war. It was a statement about nuclear weapons in general, about the dangers of nuclear proliferation and the need to examine nuclear culture, especially since the bombs we have now are so much more powerful than those dropped on Japan. Fat Man and Little Boy were essentially prototypes–the damage we could deal now with a nuclear weapon would be formidable.
It's sad to see Hiroshima and Nagasaki dragged into discussions about nuclear weapons, when we should be able to appraise the need for these kinds of weapons objectively, looking beyond the tragedy of 1945 and at the world today. Abolishing the bomb is not an option anymore–it has fallen into too many hands. But surely we don't need over 5,000 nuclear warheads at this point?

Saturday was the second coming of that magical day I call Double Derby Day. It was an epic day of human endurance. A day when two of my passions in life merge to spawn the question, "How drunk was he? Was he Derby Drunk?". I spent the first part of my day soaking up the sun, many beers and the fantastic jackass-ery that is the PDX Soapbox Derby, followed by a full evening of Roller Derby action.
Of course the recap would have to begin with...
When my cab pulled up to the Hangar, I was loaded for a full evening of All Star Roller Derby.
First up was B.A.D. vs Rat City. After the Friday bouts and my recollections of the Wild West Showdown, I sort of thought I had a good idea of how this would play out. I was of course wrong and treated to my favourite bout of the weekend.
B.A.D. jumped to a quick 3-0 lead on the back of an Astronaughty jam. Much to my surprise B.A.D. would prove they had the juice to carry and build on that lead through the first half. With the B.A.D. Pack Monsters in full effect, they were able to hold the Rats scoreless through a five jam run. After giving up 8 points, then 4, B.A.D. shut Rat down again for six jams building their lead to 63-14 after 16 jams. It was awesome! When I wasn't being mesmerized by Demanda Riot, I was being impressed by the play of Windingo Jones, Aunti Christ and Velveteen Savage of B.A.D.
Rat found a boost in their focus after Carmen Getsome hit for 14 during a Power Jam in the 17th jam, despite starting with a two on four pack situation. That was followed by a 10 point Primp Daddy jam which brought it to 63-38 Seattle. A scoreless jam brought us to half time with B.A.D. riding a 25 point lead.
I expected B.A.D. to run out of gas. I thought the Rats would come back with a fierce second half game plan. It took Rat three jams and some more Carmen Getsome magic to really gain any traction against B.A.D. After four jams into the second half the score was 77 B.A.D./ Rat City 55. Little gains for both teams over the next few jams led to a monster Rat jam for 25 points. It was now 88-83 Rat. My cellphone was blowing up and I failed to note who the hell had the big jam. B.A.D. didn't let the Rats keep the lead for long, taking a 96-88 lead in the next jam. Four more jams and one goat later Rat was up again with a 102-99 lead.
Without any time outs left to calm the team, B.A.D. managed to came back with a quick five points as Demanda drew Carmen Getsome into a major back block for some Power Jam time. It was beautiful. After a scoreless jam, B.A.D. hits again for four and the 108-102 lead. Rat called for a time out, formed a plan, executed and added five to the board. Two fierce scoreless jams later we had our final,108-107. B.A.D. had picked up a hellarad one point win.
I was psyched and felt like the night was full of possibilities. And again, I was...
We all knew Gotham was going to be a tough bout. After the Rose City loss to Rat the night before, I expected to see a single minded, unified WoJ defend their home track like never before. When Bonnie Thunders faced Rhea and racked up a 7-0 lead for Gotham in the first jam, I was convinced that WoJ would overcome. The next jam Sully put the first WoJ point on the board after squeaking out past Suzy Hot Rod for the lead jammer. Two jams later Rhea would hit big against Hyper Lynx and WoJ was only down by two, bringing it to 13-15. Gotham held WoJ for the next few jams until Rhea hit again for four, but the Bonnie Thunders/Suzy Hotrod jammer rotation had left us with a 17-52 point differential.
For the next six jams, Gotham showed what great pack play, tight defense, coordinated transition strategies paired with creative jammers can do. Racking points and holding off our jammers, Gotham stretched the point margin to 72. It was 17-89, Gotham at the half.
I had to abandon my clipboard for the second half. I could no longer just sit and watch this bout. So from the Beer Garden, peering through the crowd and enjoying the summer breeze tainted with the lofting scent of the Honey Buckets, I watched the second half play out.
It was fast paced, hard hitting and Gotham looked like they were digging it. Want to play the slow game? They could play that too. Not to diminish the abilities of our hometown heroes, but Gotham seemed to have an answer to anything WoJ would throw at them. Though the Wheels would find more offense in the second half, so would Gotham, ultimately building their margin of victory to 127 points. The 190-67 loss to Gotham should serve as another wake up call to our ladies in purple. Hopefully they see some of their short comings, the things that must change and the corrections required before we get to Sacramento in October.
All I could do was call for a ride home and wonder what day 3 of the Hometown Throwdown had in store for me and my hometown heroes.

Ah yes! I love a good JeLLyPig bout recap! Love it! So many classic lines.
-"How drunk was he? Was he Derby Drunk?"
-"When my cab pulled up to the Hangar, I was loaded for a full evening of All Star Roller Derby."
-"…enjoying the summer breeze tainted with the lofting scent of the Honey Buckets…"
Damn, that Bay Area bout sounded awesome. I wish that I could have been there, but your bout recap makes me feel as if I were there!

Barack Obama may have won the presidency, but Hillary Clinton has hardly disappeared from our consciousness. Will she be our next Secretary of State? Would she have more influence in the Senate? Or is she too junior there to wield the kind of power she'd have in the cabinet? For the past sixteen years, since Bill Clinton first touted his marriage as a twofer of leadership, Americans have examined his wife's choices, no matter how minor or how grand.
Mia Barron, who plays the lady herself in the new off-off-Broadway show HILLARY: A Modern Greek Tragedy With a (Somewhat) Happy Ending, which is playing now at the Living Theatre (located, fittingly, on Clinton Street), cops to her share of the scrutiny. An Obama supporter from the get-go, Ms. Barron says the play's complexity helped allay her concerns about her character. "It really takes itself out of the more limited question of, was [Clinton] a good candidate?" she explained. "Whatever I think about where she's arrived politically, in terms of her actual ideology, she's unbelievably smart and ambitious and had to suffer through so much, not only sexism, but just sort of being in the background when she is someone who, if she was a man, would have been in the foreground."
Ms. Barron's own political convictions helped her land HILLARY. She first met playwright Wendy Weiner en route to Pennsylvania in 2004, where the two canvassed for John Kerry. (They made the same trip for Obama this year). Ms. Weiner would later suggest Ms. Barron to Julie Kramer, her play's director, when the two were searching for an actress bold enough to tackle Clinton. "I asked Wendy, if you could have anybody, even a movie star, for this, who would it be?" Ms. Kramer remembered of the process. "She was like, I've always kind of pictured Mia in the role."
Ms. Barron, 35, is open and vibrant; she was drawn to HILLARY, in part, because the material combined her passions for drama and activism. "I have a lot of anxiety about feeling sort of useless, being part of the theater when there's a lot of things that need to be attended to in the world," she said. "I really love doing political theater because of the way it contributes to those questions in a more overt way. But obviously it has to also work theatrically . . . [This show is] very engaged in looking at women and power, and what you have to do to be in power, yet it's a deeply funny theatrical show."
HILLARY imagines the Clintons, with their gargantuan appetites and glaring foibles, as the playthings of Greek deities. An adolescent Hillary Rodham resolves to follow Athena, the goddess of wisdom, by devoting herself only to her career; Aphrodite, Athena's rival, responds by introducing Rodham to the charismatic Man from Hope. It's a clever, often moving tour through the life of Mrs. Clinton, who evolves from earnest teenager, to fired-up Wellesley commencement speaker, to proud Arkansas first lady, to failed health care reformer, to disillusioned wife. Barron masterfully captures Clinton's cadences when delivering her famous speeches but wisely avoids a strict impersonation in private scenes, where she plumbs her character's classically-scaled proportions of vulnerability and steel.
Ms. Kramer, the director, says Barron has more in common with her character than she realizes. "She works incredibly hard," Kramer says. "She was the first person in the cast to learn all her lines. That's a quality of Hillary's – she's an extremely hard worker."
Ms. Barron was similarly passionate about The Coast of Utopia, the 2006 Lincoln Center Tom Stoppard-athon that became a career milestone for her. Bent on joining the cast, she implored director Jack O'Brien to consider casting her. "When I heard they were doing that, I thought, oh my God, I would do anything to be in that in any capacity," she said. "I was actually doing a play at the time that overlapped a little with the Utopia rehearsals. I just wrote Jack O'Brien a letter and I explained how much I wanted to be involved and sort of begged him to work around me." Mr. O'Brien did, assigning Ms. Barron small parts throughout the trilogy and as Martha Plimpton's understudy.
A New Yorker (she presently lives in Harlem), Ms. Barron pads her income with a recurring role on Adult Swim's cult show The Venture Bros., where she voices a character named Molotov Cocktease. Her slate is clear after HILLARY's run ends on December 20, and Ms. Barron says she's just excited to be back home, having spent much of the past year performing in other cities. "I was just in L.A. doing a play and seriously, I don't like feeling that relaxed all the time!" she said. "I like in New York that there's a certain level of alertness and that everyone's pursuing different things and that everyone's lives are all bumped up against each other and that there's a million different stories." Including Hillary Clinton's.
Visit the Living Theatre website for showtime and ticket information. Performances through December 20th.

Or should I say act II?
Today I'm going to tell you about one of my favorite words that was coined by Shakespeare: multitudinous.
Whence is that knocking?
How is't with me, when every noise appals me?
What hands are here? ha! they pluck out mine eyes.
Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas in incarnadine,
Making the green one red. – Macbeth, Macbeth, Act II, Scene II
Multitudinous is really just about the most complicated way of saying "many," but that's what makes it so great. Sometimes, an overly flowery word is exactly what you need to spice up your writing.
Then again, sometimes it's just what you need to make it sound ridiculous. But isn't that half the fun?

I've got the Council ignoring me, just like Kingston did.
Yet the Police here have taken my complaints seriously, and are looking into them.
I've had my second assessment for the accident way back in 2014, she had served her time, yet I still can get no help.
However, I have another law firm looking into it now.
And so, this Bank Holiday Monday, when I should have been spending it with a friend – as that didn't work out, I have set myself a new goal.
Here is the overview of it:

"Our sorrows are all, like ourselves, mortal. There are no immortal sorrows for immortal souls. They come, but blessed be God, they also go. Like birds of the air, they fly over our heads. But they cannot make their abode in our souls. We suffer today, but we shall rejoice tomorrow."
– Charles Spurgeon –
She didn't have John 11 in her Bible.
And she didn't understand.
Maybe, as the quiet, cold countryside air drifted through the house, she leaned against the wall and held her breath, waiting for her sick brother to inhale one more time.
A slow breath just beyond the thin wall.
She exhales, waiting for the next sound of air in fragile lungs.
It doesn't come.
Her throat tightens. Hands go still where they've been digging a thin place in the hem of her skirt. Oh God, let him breathe.
It still doesn't come.
A thin, reedy wail bubbles up from her chest, rising into deep sobs.
It didn't come.
And neither had Jesus.
Other cries begin–her sister's weary, husky choking, the softer wails of watching friends, a baby stirring on her cousin's hip.
She closes her eyes and tastes the hot salt wetting her lips. "Why didn't you come?" she whispers in the dark. "You could have stopped this."
Have you seen a night that dark?
A death that tore out your heart. A friendship that melted away in the forge instead of being tempered by the flames. A dream that withered again and again.
We all ask this question, don't we? "Why weren't You there, Lord, when that happened? Where were You when I needed you?"
There's the theological voice in our heads, telling us that God is omnipresent, that Jesus promised to never leave us, that He sent us the Holy Spirit to dwell within us and be our Comforter.
But…honestly? You can't always feel truth. That theological voice can tell me all it wants, but there's no doubt that sometimes we cry and it seems like there is no reply. No comfort. No easing of the pain. Just silence.
I think that's how Mary felt.
She sat, perhaps, in the dark and wept for her lost brother Lazarus, and wondered why, why on earth, did Jesus fail them.
He could have stopped this. He'd done it before–healed so many. Healed those that didn't even follow Him, healed beggars on roadsides, healed servants of Gentiles long-distance.
But the man he loved, whose sisters he loved? He didn't show up for him.
Don't you know that Mary cried in the dark and couldn't wrap her mind around the lostness. It was bad enough that her brother was dead.
But the ache of Jesus failing them…that must have been a thousand times worse.
She'd sat at his feet (Luke 10:39). She thrown her soul into following Him. She'd tossed everything aside as unimportant, secondary to knowing Him.
And yet He hadn't come.
So Mary buried her brother, perhaps helping her sister Martha wrap him in spice-soaked cloths. So Mary cried until her eyes were red-rimmed and swollen, until her heart felt drained of tears, and then she kept crying.
It was another four days, four days after the tombstone was shoved across the cave's mouth, when Jesus finally showed up.
Late. Too late to heal. Too late, even, for the funeral. Just too late.
The Bible records Jesus' reaction to Lazarus' illness this way:
" Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was" (John 11:5-6, NKJV).
Wait…what? This seems like a bad joke.
He hears about Lazarus…and stays away?
So, when he comes four days after the funeral (John 11:17), I wonder if Mary had stopped looking for Him? The passage doesn't say. It only records,
"Now Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house" (John 11:20).
Did Mary hear? Why did she stay at the house? Perhaps she she was too swallowed by her grief. Maybe she didn't know Jesus had arrived. Or maybe she had given up on Jesus, because He hadn't been there when she needed Him most.
But Martha–strong, capable, warm–went running in her tears and met Jesus as He approached:
"Now Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died" (John 11:21).
But then, as Matthew Henry suggests in his commentary on the passage, she seems to regret her hasty, grieved words. Thought probably still asking "why" inside, she corrects herself:
"But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You" (John 11:22).
This is a grief-stricken, somewhat-shaken faith. "Lord, I don't understand," she seems to be saying. "I still believe in you. I still know you have power. But I don't understand."
Under Jesus' gentle questioning, she affirms her conviction that He is the Messiah, even the Son of God.
Then he sends for Mary.
Remember, Mary hadn't read John 11. She didn't know what would happen. We who have the whole Bible, who have grown up with the narratives, become numb to it.
But this wasn't a flannel graph, two-dimensional story for Mary. This was real.
Her brother was dead. Her Savior had abandoned her.
Then He called for her and she hurries to meet him.
"Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died" (John 11:32).
The same words as her sister–this same theme that resounds in our own hearts when God doesn't show up in our pain.
"If you had been here, God…If only You had been here."
And what does Jesus do? He had given Martha the theological answers. For Mary?
For Mary, He cries.
With Mary, He cries. Yes, God in flesh sees her tears, the tears of her sister, and He openly weeps (John 11:35).
What comes next?
A glorious rising. A heart-stopping, mind-blowing resurrection right on the fringes of Jerusalem. The world was shaken up that day.
Because Lazarus rose and walked out of that tomb!
But if we walk away from Mary's story with the idea that Jesus will immediately come along and undo all our griefs, set it all right, make it not hurt anymore–then we've not learned our lesson.
You see, Mary didn't know what Jesus was going to do.
But, behind Mary's grieving, Martha's questioning, Lazarus' dying–behind all this was a much larger Story at work:
The Story of God glorifying His Son in the world (John 17).
In fact, in the very next chapter, we see the results of Lazarus rising:
"Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, 11 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus" (John 12:9-11).
The Bible never tells the end of Lazarus, Mary, and Martha's story.
But that passage–rather than scaring me, or making me worry about Lazarus' safety–reassures me.
See what God did?
The whole mess of grief and then wonder, death and then life–all of it was a master-design to point the world to Jesus. Lazarus was such a testimony to His God that the Jews wanted him dead just to get people to stop believing!
God doesn't always ride in and fix our problems. He doesn't always come and heal our loved ones, raise our dead dreams, or mend our broken relationships. (One day, yes, He will! He will make all things new!)
But Mary's story teaches me to hope.
Because whatever God is doing in the pain–however silent He seems to be–I know two things.
I know He knows my sorrows and is moved by my pain.
And I know that He is up to something glorious.
Grief is hard.
Pain hurts terribly.
Prayers don't always feel like they're going through.
But whether my Lazarus rises or not, I know that "God's absence"–when He decides not to intervene in my hurt–is part of plan that makes God look amazing.
When He doesn't show up, I will cling to the knowledge of His love and presence. He won't always tell me why I have to hurt. He doesn't owe me an explanation.
But I will believe.
And then I will watch His beauty be put on display.
"And He's kneeling in the garden, as silent as a Stone
All His friends are sleeping and He's weeping all alone
And the man of all sorrows, he never forgot
What sorrow is carried by the hearts that he bought
So when the questions dissolve into the silence of God
The aching may remain but the breaking does not
The aching may remain but the breaking does not
In the holy, lonesome echo of the silence of God."
– Andrew Peterson, "The Silence of God" –
* All Scripture verses come from the New King James Version

GENERAL CHAPTER FIC 2018 VOTE OF THANKS TO THE OUTGOING GENERAL COUNCIL (Wednesday, 22 August 2018).
VOTE OF THANKS TO THE OUTGOING GENERAL COUNCIL (Wednesday, 22 August 2018)
Dear Brothers Martin, Guido, Raphael and Theodorus,
I consider it an honour to express the gratitude of this chapter for the high quality service you have given to our Congregation during the past six years.
During the first week of our chapter all four of you shared with us how you have experienced your working together as a team.
And then I saw your great joy, of all four of you, when we unanimously accepted in a secret ballot not only your financial policy, but your whole Report about the past six years of your administration. You expressed a genuine relief after so much effort to inform us extensively and honestly about - not only what you did, but also about matters that continue to need great attention and care of the incoming general council. It showed your practical commitment during these six yeart but also your fraternal care and your thinking about the near future of our congregation.
In fact your Report was much more than just a collection of facts. It was also a confident and loving entrusting of our multicolor congregational reality to your successors : our new general council.
But let me now also shed some light on the individual members:.
MARTIN, you as the leader of this team, excelled by your gift to create a relaxed and positive atmosphere, always starting with what you called a 'green round', to help each other to be wholeheartedly present and active for the work to be done together .
Recently your vicar, Guido, stressed your great patience, which is key for success to work as a team.
GUIDO, with your three consecutive periods of service in the Council, you merit a special word of thanks ! Your involvement for the well being of our Congregation in your different tasks in the council and in particular all your work for the Spiritual Journey programma, has been a great gift to our Congregation !
Also for you we wholeheartedly hope that you now will be able to invest your heart and your gifts in a service in Indonesia you are longing for.
RAPHAEL, in the past six years you have won the heart of many Brothers. Your modesty, your openness and interest and your warm heart have touched many of us. Even when you are not yet fluent in Dutch we experienced you as really present when you were at De Beyart and in other places. You were experienced in that same positive way in other provinces.
What may look as a detail is speaking a lot: We also were happy with you, together with Guido, as a faithful member of our Beyart-choir.
THEODORUS, most of us (at least here in The Netherlands) know you especially as the committed and faithful photographer, who takes care that many people can share - via the pictures you make - both in the joyful and sorrowful events that happen among us. Your joyful nature often sparks a laughter on the face of others. But you are much more and when working together with you your deep commitment can clearly be felt.
And now, together with Raphael, you have been asked to continue to serve our Congregation at the highest level. We confidently pray that you, also in the next six years, will be happy and blessed abundantly.
Dear Martin, Guido, Raphael and Theodorus, we are deeply grateful for the service you have given to us, your fellow brothers, and to so many others around us. Thank you, thank you, and now, after my words, receive some material token of our deep gratitude...
On behalf of the General Chapter FIC 2018, bro. Johan Muijtjens

Representatives of local and national national civil liberties groups had a cordial and productive meeting with Representative Chris Van Hollen (D-MD-8) today as they promoted the sweeping surveillance reform and oversight agenda announced in a coalition letter earlier today.
The growing coalition includes the Montgomery County Civil Rights Coalition (MCCRC) and over a hundred other civil liberties and civil rights organizations, including Electronic Frontier Foundation, the ACLU, the Green Party, Get FISA Right, and many more.
Sue Udry (Defending Dissent, MCCRC), Thomas Nephew (MCCRC), Zainab Chaudry (Council on American-Islamic Relations-MD), and Robert McCaw (CAIR Government Affairs manager) discussed surveillance issues with Rep. Van Hollen and legislative aide Ben Cook for about a half hour at the Longworth House Office Building.
Representative Van Hollen noted that he'd voted against both the FISA Amendment Act and PATRIOT Act.* The Congressman shared the delegation's concerns about "ambiguity, just the kind of uncertainty we're seeing now" in what the exact standards are for surveillance under these statutes, and about "offloading that much discretion" to the FISA Court and NSA. Rep. Van Hollen also believed that there was a big problem with overclassification. The Congressman described what are currently extremely limited possibilities for informed consent and oversight by non-Intelligence Committee members such as himself, saying "they [Intelligence Committee and/or their witnesses] don't tell you anything you can't get from the media even at top secret briefings." Van Hollen said he supports Senator Merkley's Ending Secret Law Act requiring the administration to disclose significant FISA Court legal opinions on expanded authorities under the FISA Amendment Act and other legislation.**
The congressman said that he was less concerned (not unconcerned, but less concerned) that the NSA had the kind of data they had than about the standards and circumstances under which they could query those data. Thomas Nephew suggested that the combination of vast quantities of "metadata" and powerful new "Watson" computer systems capable of sophisticated analysis made this kind of data collection threatening in its own right.*** Van Hollen agreed that there was potential for concern and abuse with metadata as well as with eavesdropping per se; he noted that people may reach different judgments about the newly revealed methods and procedures and their efficacy as those become clearer.
Stressing that no one opposes warranted surveillance conducted with just cause, Zainab Chaudry raised the issue of NYPD surveillance of American Muslims as an example of why American Muslims are deeply concerned about the likelihood of unequal, heightened, unjustifiable scrutiny simply on the basis of community membership; Rep. Van Hollen was in full agreement.
As noted at the outset, the meeting was friendly and cordial throughout. Congressman Van Hollen asked that we stay in touch. I think it's safe to say we will, and that we're hopeful the Congressman will be an ally for surveillance reform.
Our meeting with Congressman Van Hollen was scheduled in the wake of this month's NSA revelations published in the Guardian and Washington Post; it's just one part of Montgomery County Civil Rights Coalition's actions in response. Last week, MCCRC organized a press conference and rally about NSA surveillance on the doorstep of the Russell Senate Office Building; on July 4th, we will be supporting a "Restore the Fourth" rally in Washington, DC. MCCRC is also organizing delegations to visit Maryland Senators Cardin and Mikulski about this issue. To let us keep in touch with you about these plans, please subscribe to our mailing list here.
* EDIT, CORRECTION, 6/20: Rep. Van Hollen has not voted for reauthorization of either the FAA or PATRIOT Act., as was originally stated here. During our discussion, he mentioned voting for extensions of some of their provisions; we're told this was part of a bid to make improvements possible. I misunderstood his statement to mean he had supported reauthorization, and regret the error.
** The bill "require[s] the Attorney General to disclose each decision, order, or opinion of a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that includes significant legal interpretation of section 501 or 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 unless such disclosure is not in the national security interest of the United States and for other purposes."
*** Nephew cited Using Metadata to Find Paul Revere (Kieran Healy, Duke Univ.) as a useful description of the kind of inferences metadata allow about constitutionally protected activity — for as long as the metadata involved are stored. To be clear, again, Rep. Van Hollen didn't dispute that metadata surveillance could be abused. Still, there is also an issue whether more stringent standards (i.e., Fourth Amendment standards) should be imposed not just on querying such data, but on collecting and then storing such data without particularized probable cause in the first place. UPDATE, 6/25: Regarding NYPD surveillance of Muslims, Nephew mentioned CIA involvement, a relationship the Congressman did not know about. The NYPD-CIA connection is made in the Pulitzer Prize winning AP series on NYPD surveillance of Muslims, in this article: "With CIA help, NYPD moves covertly in Muslim areas."

Department: Man and Communication
WHAT A book of poetry that was completely written by a robot that educated itself as an author by processing 800 works of romantic literature — from Tolstoy to Brontë, Joyce and Kafka. WHY Robots may seem autonomous, but their behaviour is shaped by us. Without human authors, this book would not exist. This project explores the relationship between a machine's performance and our own input. HOW The sentences in the book are made by an algorithm that finds possible patterns in word order, forming interesting new — and grammatically sound — content. What about: 'I am not going to cry for humans?' Each word is tagged with an endnote that traces it back to the work it came from, creating the longest reference list ever. QUOTE The robot has rewritten renowned works of literature.
