AS220 Shows How to Reclaim the Cultural Commons
Two weeks ago, I had the privilege of touring an incredibly vital cultural commons in the heart of Providence, Rhode Island. My host was Bert Crenca, the artistic director of AS220. Nearly everyone knows AS220 as one of the most happening places in the city. It offers everything: rehearsal spaces, poetry slams, live music, dance performances, figure drawing, affordable work studios, a print shop, specialized art equipment, cheap apartments for struggling artists, and more.
What may be less appreciated is that AS220 is a self-sustaining creative commons (lower case). While it has all sorts of interactions with the market, government and philanthropy, it is really an unheralded model of a commons for producing and enjoying the arts. It is financially self-sustaining, independently managed, and grassroots-responsive. It is dedicated to art made by and for the people.
The "AS" in AS220 stands for "Artists' Space"; 220 was the initial address of the distressed building it originally occupied in 1985. AS220 quickly outgrew that space and in 1992, with help from the mayor's office and tax breaks normally used by commercial developers, acquired a 21,000 square-foot building in a blighted, drug-ridden part of town. In 2006 and 2008, AS220 bought two additional buildings nearby that have allowed the sprawling Providence arts community to grow even more. Now in its 27th year, AS220 has a budget of $2.8 million, 50 employees and hosts dozens of art projects in the three downtown buildings that it owns.
Calling AS220 a "nonprofit organization" fails to capture its real achievement or inner logic. AS220 has been able to create its own commons for the arts largely because of its ingenuity in acquiring three downtown buildings. This has allowed it to generate its own revenue streams that help it protect its autonomy and take greater risks. AS220 rents out street-level spaces to restaurants and shops that share its funky, creative ethic, which in turn has enabled AS220 to leverage that money to develop a more diversified funding base: membership fees to use studio equipment; fees for art classes; contract work for printing and computer animation; and of course the sale of artworks. AS220 also rents out cheap studio space and artists' apartments, covering its costs while advancing the arts.

Three Cups of Controversy
Weird, much?
Full disclosure: I tried to read Three Cups of Tea but wasn't as enamored with it as most people. I didn't get past the first couple of chapters. For nonfiction, I really need a strong hook and this one didn't pull me in. My sister Mary, on the other hand, raved about it and loved it. I promised her that I'd reread it but haven't done that yet. I was, however, particularly moved by all the good work that Mortenson did in building schools in Pakistan and helping to improve the plight of young girls, in particular. However, the inconsistencies found in Mortenson's account are now being reviewed by his publisher, Viking. Then there are the transparency problems with his sizeable charity which call his charity into question too.
I'm reminded of the situation with James Frey's A Million Little Pieces a few years back. That happened to be a book that I read almost in one sitting. And I was devastated to learn later that much of it was untrue. That also may have been about the time when I started to read less nonfiction.
Unfortunately, when things like this happen, it makes readers more skeptical whenever they pick up a book and that's disappointing because that trust is broken. It also makes it harder, I think, for writers of nonfiction to publish their stories because publishers become more skeptical as well.
How forgiving are you as a reader when you learn that details from a book were fabricated? What can/should publishers do?
P.S. For those of you dropping by for the A-Z April Blogfest, my apologies for not keeping up with the alphabet postings. There's just been too much other stuff going on (like the above). I thank you, though, for stopping by!! You totally rock.

I didn't read either book, but I can imagine how you'd feel. If a book is only partially true, as an author it's your responsibility to disclose it.
And I wouldn't be forgiving as a reader.
A lot of people are finding the A to Z Challenge to challenging. Doesn't bother me!

I have to say that I'm not one that reads non-fiction books but I think I'm going to give it a go this weekend just to say I did it.
That being said I would hate to find out that the facts within the story were not true. The whole reason to pick it up is to read the truth!!!
I'm glad that you shed light on this. I don't mind that you didn't relate it to the alphabet... ;)

I don't usually read non-fiction because as you have discovered, some of it is less than true. Writer's embellish... it's in their nature.

It sucks when books purporting to be true turn out to be false!! Why couldn't they just make it a great fiction work and leave it at that?!?!

I'm not big on non-fiction, that's my husband's department, but I have heard of both of these works and the controversy surrounding both. I'm sure that doesn't hurt their sales. I think the publishers/agents should have done more homework on their authors before publishing. Perhaps, if they haven't already, they will have to add something to the contracts about falsifying facts. I don't think I would be very forgiving if I invested the time and money in reading their books only to find out that they didn't tell the whole truth.

I haven't read any of the books by authors who have later been outed, but I've heard about them. Where the authors have fooled the buying public, I gotta say they have a lot of heart. Did they not think in today's world of open communication that somebody would find out they were lying?

- Sierra Gardner said...
I enjoy reading a good memoir or non-fiction and it is definitely disappointing when authors fabricate part of their stories. It not only makes you question everything about them, but also makes you wary of other similar books that might be great. If the storyline has been 'adjusted' to make the narrative more readable, that should be disclosed up front. I've written stories based around real life events, but always as fiction since I know I have to tweak details.

- Linda Leszczuk said...
I haven't read this one but I know my daughter-in-law and my granddaughter did and liked it. I'll admit I'm not as put off by the fact that some of the story may be untrue as I am by the possibility that his charity may not be everything it claimed to be.
- April 20, 2011 at 2:50 PM

I've heard of this book but haven't read it. Not sure I will now... I would be pretty shocked (and disappointed probably) if I found out that supposed "facts" in a book weren't actually true.

I just don't get how you could embellish something that is fact-checkable.

Hi Liz, first time visitor. I'm not very forgetful when it omes to fraud and plagerism. I'll forgive but not forget. All credibility is lost so they can find another line of work .

Not a huge surprise, but sales for his book have surged again because of this controversy. Controversy sells! It's #1 on Amazon, last time I checked. Oy.

I guess I was not surprised but the Three Cups of Tea thing. I was working at a school a few years ago and the kids were all reading 'A Child Called 'It'' I did some research then and found out how research and found out that that author had not been put under any kind of scrutiny and there was no evidence for the abuse he claimed he had experienced- yet publishers publish it without question. Same with Frey. And when I hear about the Frey thing, the excuses were essentially that they didn't have to look into "memoir", that was all very subjective. At this point I think all of us can count "memoir" as fiction. It is not researched or checked up on yet it is more frequently purchased which is a recipe for deceit in my book. Even history is often written with the political slant of the author. When I read history I always look at who is reviewing to see who they are and what they say. Good post!

Stock Market Crash Of 1929
September 20, 2016
To get an idea how properly the stock market was doing within the Nineteen Twenties, on August 24, 1921, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was sixty three.9. By the top of that very same decade, its worth had risen to 381.2. Regulation on inventory market was lax and insider buying and selling was fairly frequent. It's worthwhile to be in shares throughout bull markets, but it surely's even more worthwhile to be short shares, or no less than out of the market, during bear markets—even if most of the main bull market months are missed fully," Shilling has advised since at the very least 1992.
Millions of Americans started to buy stock, inflicting the market to dramatically improve in worth. As a end result it plunged the nice nation into debt that is now close to 13 trillion Dollars. The Dow dropped 20.four{083390938f484c452e08a84ea1fac0a9158b26745442978ab7ea4003b5815b10}, the largest one-day proportion loss in inventory market history. Today's generation cannot comprehend the demoralizing impact that a deep, financial despair has on a nation – thank God.
Increasingly, authorities and relevant public companies will have to assure the correct forecasting and reporting of returns as market conditions deteriorate. However, the market dropped one other 13{083390938f484c452e08a84ea1fac0a9158b26745442978ab7ea4003b5815b10} on Black Monday, regardless of the bankers' makes an attempt to stop the panic. This known as a climax run, and another warning signal of hassle up ahead for the market.
Altogether, between September 1929 and June 1932, the nation's stock exchanges lost $179 billion in value. In the event where threshold 3 is breached, the market would shut for the day, regardless of the time. The Hindenburg Omen , developed by physics professor Jim Miekka, is a controversial indicator that is believed by many to foretell inventory market crashes.
The methods for tracking the market costs couldn't sustain with trading quantity, and that will have contributed to panic selling on that day. Savvy traders began to fret when stocks on the Wall Street Exchange started tumbling on Black Thursday, October 24 1929. By 1932, the index of inventory costs had fallen from a 1929 excessive of 210 to a low of 30. Stocks were valued at just 12 p.c of what they'd been value in September 1929. Between 1921 and 1929 the inventory market had grown by 600{083390938f484c452e08a84ea1fac0a9158b26745442978ab7ea4003b5815b10} with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising from sixty three points to 381 factors. He predicted the Japanese bubble of the Nineteen Eighties, the 2000 tech bubble, and the housing market crash of 2006 to 2008.

(Honest Opinion: Believe me, you think making lobby is easy. May seem fun and exciting at them time, yet you have a Admin constantly reminding you when is the build finished. What the Admin wants, is what the Admin gets and goes.)
Bam had the portals already layed out and told me how he wanted the lobby. Not Fancy, but kept simple and straight. the middle raised.
At this process, I removed the center and decided to work on the centre area. Which freaked bam out cause it was raised so high. Found a easy floor art. Google is handy.
Since I wanted to keep the wood feature, I decided to go with a market theme. I got Luna, Canadian and I think Trickster (I might be wrong) to build small market stalls.
Before and after for the portal designs
This is what took awhile. Since bam wanted the spawn area raised, I had to think of a way to fit with market. I looked online for Market designs in Minecraft, not really found I was looking for. So I went with my previous builds on Survival on my giant walls and made the center part sort of based on the design. It was a lot of back and forth work. Build it, didn't like it, removed it. Eventually found a design I could work with.
Added more detail on the platform. Michael decided to visit. Added a simple pixel art below which matched the theme.
With my amazing world edit skills (heh) Added podzol ground with surrounding stone brick stairs and cracked bricks. Oh and a man made tree made. Credit to Luna.
Added the other markets and scattered them around.
Sadly I wasn't able to get a final shot, due to the Admins working on Skyblock. But currently the wall is added and changed the market colours. Added the shrubs, bushals and prison wagons.
So thats the Current Lobby Process. Ill add the Snow Globe and Halloween Screenies later.

Sheldon Silver to be arrested, Man behind NY MMA ban
Sheldon Silver to be arrested, Man behind NY MMA ban
Sheldon Silver, the longtime speaker of the New York state Assembly, is expected to be arrested on corruption charges by federal authorities on Thursday after prosecutors subpoenaed records in a probe of undocumented payments he received from a law firm, sources said.
Silver, a Manhattan Democrat who has served as speaker for more than 20 years, is expected to be charged following an investigation sparked when Gov. Cuomo abruptly shut down an anticorruption commission he had created in 2013, sources said.
The specific details of the charges were not clear, but sources said that it was related to money Silver received from a small real-estate tax law firm.
Silver has done the bidding of Las Vegas Culinary Union local 226, which has a long-time vendetta against UFC co-owners Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta. This is one of the main reasons why MMA still has not been legally sanctioned in New York. Every time the bill comes up, Silver shuts it down.
The Fertittas own Station Casinos, which is not unionized. The culinary workers have gone to extraordinary lengths to get back at the Fertittas in an attempt to pressure them into allowing its workers to unionize.
That is a wholly separate issue from MMA in New York. MMA in New York would have a massive economic impact in the state and would clearly benefit New York's many union workers.
It wouldn't just be the Fertitta-led UFC that would promote shows in New York. The multi-million dollar battle to overturn the 1997 state law that banned MMA in New York has almost entirely been funded by the UFC, but legalization in New York would benefit dozens, if not hundreds, of promoters.

Republished with permission from Dr. Reluctant. In this series, Dr. Henebury responds to a collection of criticisms of dispensationalism entitled "95 Theses against Dispensationalism" written by a group called "The Nicene Council." Read the series so far.
Thesis 46
Contrary to dispensationalism's claim that "the Church is a mystery, unrevealed in the Old Testament" (J. D. Pentecost), the New Testament writers look to the Old Testament for its divine purpose and role in the history of redemption and declare only that the mystery was not known "to the sons of men" at large, and was not known to the same degree "as" it is now revealed to all men in the New Testament (Eph 3:4-6), even noting that it fulfills Old Testament prophecy (Hos 1:10 / Rom 9:22-26), including even the beginning of the new covenant phase of the Church (Joel 2:28-32 / Acts 2:16-19).
Response: First, one does not have to be a dispensationalist to hold that the mystery of the Church as the Body of Christ was not known in OT times (see Bruce, O'Brien, Barth). The adverbial conjunction "as" in Ephesians 3:5 is best seen in a descriptive sense asserting the difference in kind which the mystery discloses, rather than a restrictive way whereby more is known now than was known before. Paul is speaking here of the entity which is the Church. The Church is the Body of Christ which is entered into through the Baptism of the Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13). According to Acts 1:5 (cf. John 7:39) this baptism began at Pentecost. It is this new revelation of the Body of Christ which it is crucial to keep in mind since it is just not found in the OT. Further, the mystery was covered up, "hidden," or "not made known" (3:5), but is now revealed. This surely supports the descriptive sense! It wasn't half covered up!
Colossians 1:26, which is more emphatic, again refers to that which "was hidden from ages…but now has been revealed." So there is a strong case against the view that Paul is talking about the amount or "degree" of the mystery that was known prior to the NT. Paul is rather saying that the Church was completely unknown.
As far as the references to Hosea and Joel are concerned, the reader is invited to put himself in those historical contexts and find the Body of Christ. That apostolic writers could refer to those texts because they speak of God bringing the Gentiles to salvation. Now we know how! But the "how" was not revealed in the OT.
Thesis 47
Despite dispensationalism's presentation of the Church as a "parenthesis" (J. F. Walvoord) in the major plan of God in history (which focuses on racial Israel), the New Testament teaches that the Church is the God-ordained result of God's Old Testament plan, so that the Church is not simply a temporary aside in God's plan but is the institution over which Christ is the head so that He may "put all things in subjection under His feet" (Eph 1:22; 1 Cor. 15:24-28).
Response: I don't know where these authors got the idea that Israel is "the major plan of God in history" from. In dispensationalism, the church is just as important to God as is Israel. Christ died for both His bride and the remnant. Certainly, the story of Israel dominates the OT, and it is not set aside in the New. Speaking of the church as a "parenthesis" does not mean it was "a temporary aside" or an afterthought. I notice a parenthesis in the above Thesis: "(which focuses on racial Israel)." Is that a temporary aside? Is it an afterthought?
The fact is, from man's point of view the church is a kind of interlude in revelational history. But from the point of view of God's eternal and comprehensive decree it is part of the warp and woof of redemptive history. Prior to Abraham there were no "Hebrews" and hence no Israel (Jacob). God's creation of Israel was no "temporary aside" from His previous work. Israel and the church must be seen in the larger panorama of God's plan in world history. Dispensationalism attempts to do this.
Seeing the church as the "God-ordained result of God's Old Testament plan" involves hermeneutical and theological gymnastics which are not authorized in the NT and which make God the distorter of the covenants He made with certain people using specific language that He, as God, contracted Himself to keep. No amount of rhetoric about "expansion" glosses over the result: the church succeeds Israel.
Thesis 48
Contrary to dispensationalism's teaching that Jeremiah's "New Covenant was expressly for the house of Israel … and the house of Judah" (Bible Knowledge Commentary)—a teaching that is due to its man-made view of literalism as documented by former dispensationalist (Curtis Crenshaw) and the centrality of Israel in its theological system—the New Testament shows that the new covenant includes Gentiles and actually establishes the new covenant Church as the continuation of Israel (Luke 22:20; 1 Cor 11:25; 2 Cor 3:6).
Response: Before examining the verses which supposedly prove that the church is the continuation of Israel, we must answer the charge that our hermeneutic is "man-made." The inference, I suppose, is that the "now it's literal, now it's not" hermeneutics of the Nicene Council is heaven-sent and is embossed with the divine imprimatur. In his co-authored book, Dispensationalism: Today, Yesterday and Tomorrow (which, despite some inaccuracies and overstatements, is one of the best critiques of dispensationalism), Crenshaw adduces (p. 3) Wittgenstein as proof that the hermeneutics of dispensationalism are terribly naive. Ryrie's view of "the common laws of language" clearly lacks philosophical sophistication. Then George Marsden is referenced (p. 5) to show the Enlightenment underpinnings of the "literal" method. (nobody used this method before, and books written before "the Age of Reason" were understood differently than during it?).
Despite Crenshaw's assertion that Ryrie has an autonomous view of human language (p. 3), he surely knows Ryrie teaches that language is from God for God's purposes. In fact, Ryrie places much stress upon the sufficiency of language to do what God intended it to do. One needn't be a dispensationalist to get wrapped up in Enlightenment thinking. The example of B. B. Warfield and his article on "Apologetics" is enough to show that. The fact that such influences exist does not abrogate the contributions of these men.
One of the most needful improvements to the dispensationalist approach would be better self-criticism in this area. But it would be naive indeed to think this would entail the overthrow of plain-sense hermeneutics. There is no hermeneutical firewall ensuring Reformation interpretations an inspired status. In point of fact, the great "solas" of the Reformation all lean heavily on plain-sense hermeneutics of the kind insisted on by dispensationalists. There is no such thing as inspired hermeneutics. We have justification for our language from Scripture, but that justification relies upon us believing what God says.
As an exercise in believing what God says, we shall turn to the proof texts provided in Thesis 48. If the reader will study Jeremiah 31:31-32 he will see that Israel and Judah (whom God brought out of Egypt, v.32) are in view, not the church. The same applies to Hebrews 8:8-13. How then does the New Covenant apply to the church? This is where dispensationalists disagree among themselves. No one today resorts to Chafer's two new covenants view. Some argue that the new covenant is yet future and concerns only Israel in the future kingdom. Others, myself included, believe that Christ, as our High Priest, initiated the new covenant at the institution of the Lord's Supper. Thus, the church obtains blessings (Eph. 1) of the new covenant in Christ. The final fulfillment of all the biblical covenants depends on the fulfillment of the New Covenant.
The passages from Luke 22, 1 Corinthians 11 and 2 Corinthians 3 form the basis of the interpretation I outlined above. But they in no way entail making "Israel and Judah" the Jew-Gentile church. The provisions of the Abrahamic covenant suffice to deliver God's blessings to the church—which is why Paul cites it in Galatians 3:8.
There is no reason given to go further than this and change the name on the contract of Jeremiah 31:31-34 from "Israel and Judah" who came out of Egypt, to "the Church."
We are at about the halfway point in our examination of the "95 Theses Against Dispensationalism." So far the objections have not been very substantial. Some have in fact been not much above the puerile. Others have been less than incisive and easily addressed. One or two have offered useful criticisms, but none has attained the caliber of a serious charge.
Perhaps the next half will be more weighty? That is possible. I hope to be challenged with more robust arguments as I continue. We must all try to learn from the criticisms of others, and I hope to do so as we proceed.

Other non-dispensational rationalists
You could add R.C. Sproul and Thomas Aquinas to the list as well.
I agree that developments in hermeneutics can be tools by which dispensationalism is improved.
Thesis 47
The concept of Israel being "the major plan of God in history" is the foundational truth behind dispensationalism's 'Church parenthesis'. Thomas S. McCall's article, Israel: the Center of Divine History, for example, claims, "Thus, the vast bulk of the Word of God revolves around Israel, the Chosen nation of God..." That presumptive Israel-centricity explains how John Walvoord got the idea of "the present age as a parenthesis unexpected and without specific prediction in the Old Testament..."
When the Lord Jesus makes the comprehensive claim, "I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do (John 17:4)," He confirms it by referring to the Gospel written to Old Testament Israel, "Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem (Luke 24:46,47)." That's "the story of Israel" which the Lord Jesus Himself said dominated the Old Testament, and it shows nothing of the 'unexpected', the 'unpredicted' and, certainly, nothing of a present-age "parenthesis."
The fact is, the church is not 'an intervening period of time', nor is it a mere "part of the warp and woof of redemptive history." It is the very un-parenthetical heart and substance of God's work in Christ Jesus--who has fulfilled all redemptive history. Nowhere does the New Testament distinguish between Christ Jesus' finished work for His Body, the Church, and a work yet remaining to be finished for "the Israel of God." The dispensation-serving concept of "parenthesis" disables the redemptive completion celebrated throughout 'fulfillment' scriptures: Luke 4:16-21; Luke 18:31; Luke 24:25,26,46,47; John 17:1-4; Acts 2:36; Acts 13:32,33; Acts 26:22,23; Galatians 4:4,5; Hebrews 1:1-3, 1 Peter 1:9-12,18-20; 3:18, 1 John 4:9,10, etc. These overwhelmingly confirm "the New Testament teaches that the Church is the God-ordained result of God's Old Testament plan" for it is "...His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all (Ephesians 1:23)."
Subsequent to the Lord' Jesus' work on Calvary, resurrection and ascension, Israel's relationship with Abraham was defined as follows, "...Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.(Romans 9:6-8). Accordingly, Paul wrote to Gentile "children of promise" in the Church at Galatia, "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." No parenthesis of any sort , therefore, is stated or implied in the unified continuity expressed in Ephesians 2:19-22: "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit."
The dispensational gymnastics being performed here in the defence of "parenthesis" assumes Christ Jesus' completed mission was divided into separate, 'earthly-Israel/heavenly-Church' components. The Church has not eliminated, replaced or superseded Israel, but has gloriously fulfilled her in Christ Jesus. There is no need, then, to inject the alien concept of a 'parenthetic church' into scripture. Dispensationalism attempts to do this, and fails.

If you watched the recent presidential debates or the Republican and Democratic conventions, you might have gotten the impression that the practices of Wall Street that led to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression have been fixed. None of the candidates are talking about it. Aside from Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, politicians are noticeably silent on an issue that still poses a real risk to people's economic futures: a financial system that is rigged against the ordinary citizen in favor of the banks — and allows the gains to be privatized to an elite few, even as the losses are socialized to everyone in America.
The truth is that the problem has not been fixed. Did you know that four years after the crisis, and more than two years after the passage of "landmark financial reform," fewer than one-third of the new laws have been implemented and more than three-quarters of the required deadlines have been missed by the regulators? Did you know that the Wall Street lobby has spent more than $300 million trying to kill — or insert loopholes into — key rules that would ensure greater transparency in derivatives and forbid banks from betting against their own customers? Did you know that the nation's five largest banks are even bigger than they were before the financial meltdown? Unfortunately, the politicians and regulators are buckling. There is a leaking dam, and what lawmakers and regulators have done so far is put a Band-Aid over it.

The second book about Springsteen that I read on Kindle, is Darkness on the edge: Tales inspired by the songs of Bruce Springsteen, edited (2008) by Harrison Howe.
The idea to have short stories written on the base of Springsteen songs is of course brilliant. And very logical, seeing that most of his songs are just perfect little short stories with (often) a great beat. And those who do not tell a story, usually paint such a clear picture that one can easily also use it for a story.
I am sad to say, however, that I did not like the book at all. And no, NOTHING against the editor or any of the contributors. My problem was just that I simply did not like most of the stories. It seems to me that many of the authors tried to wring too much out of the songs. Of course it may just have happened in their quest for originality. Most of the stories are just too far-fetched for my taste. Often it was very difficult even to recognize the song in the story. Of course, many of you will disagree with me.
There were, however, two important exceptions. Firstly the story based on Thunder Road, Wings for wheels by John Palisano. One could recognize the characters of the song immediately, and of course the milieu where the story played itself out. One could get the ambience of the town and you could experience and feel with the characters.
But the one that I absolutely loved was With these hands (inspired by Factory – one of my absolute favourite Springsteen songs – and Two Faces) by Kurt Dinan. This is the heartbreaking story of a young man working in the factory where his father used to work. He experiences everything that Bruce so often sings about – the dead-end job, the falling in love, the dreams, the stark reality of bad relationships (especially with his father), the danger of losing the love of his life in the hardships of real adult life. And of course the very real danger of household violence born from frustration and helplessness. But this young man sees a way out. And he takes it. In a very shocking and heartbreaking way. And no, I am not going to tell you!
The third part of the book that I enjoyed very much was … the Introduction. J I revelled in a lot of the editor's comments on Springsteen's work. Here is just one example: … I think it's the brutal honesty of Springsteen's songs … his ability to tap so deeply into the human spirit, to not shy away from man's weaknesses, his vulnerability to failure, to feel pain and inflict pain, to question himself, doubt himself, question the world around him.
Do I recommend the book? Yes, although I did not enjoy most of the stories. That was probably just a question of personal taste. Especially male fans should enjoy it very much.
And yes, a new dream was born from reading this book: To one day write some short stories of my own, inspired by Springsteen songs, but set in South African circumstances and populated with South African people. I think it is very possible to do that, because Bruce's songs are specifically American, but they are also very, very universal. Because, basically, we are all the same.

A while ago I wrote about SQL Patches – what hints do they exactly use? Now I came to the point where the underlying application was moved to another database using Data Pump. And consequently some parts of the application started to run into performance issues again because the SQL patches, that made some statements run fast, were not transported to the new database. So the need to re-create or transport those SQL patches arrised.
SQL patches are not part of the application schema, they are stored in the data dictionary of the database. That is the cause why they are not transported when using Data Pump. But there is a way to transport them. The DBMS_SQLDIAG package provides some procedures for this, CREATE_STGTAB_SQLPATCH, PACK_STGTAB_SQLPATCH and UNPACK_STGTAB_SQLPATCH. This listing represents the order in which these functions are used. Basically the procedure to move SQL patches is this:
- Create staging table in a schema other than SYS
- Import SQL patches (all or some) into this staging table
- Transport staging table to destination database (Data Pump, CTAS over DB-Link will not work since there is a LONG column in the staging table)
- Extract SQL patches (all or some) from staging table back into the dictionary
Let's see how this works, first extract the SQL patches.
SQL> select name from dba_sql_patches; NAME -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patch_2 Patch_5 Patch_3 Patch_4 Patch_1 SQL> exec dbms_sqldiag.create_stgtab_sqlpatch('SQLPATCH_STAGE','SYSTEM'); PL/SQL procedure successfully executed. SQL> exec dbms_sqldiag.pack_stgtab_sqlpatch(staging_table_name=>'SQLPATCH_STAGE', staging_schema_owner=>'SYSTEM'); PL/SQL procedure successfully executed.
Now move the staging table to the destination database.
[oracle ~]$ expdp system/**** tables=system.sqlpatch_stage directory=dings dumpfile=sqlpatch.dmpdp [oracle ~]$ impdp system/**** directory=dings dumpfile=sqlpatch.dmpdp full=y
Finally, extract the SQL patches back into the data dictionary.
SQL> exec dbms_sqldiag.unpack_stgtab_sqlpatch(replace=>true, staging_table_name=>'SQLPATCH_STAGE', staging_schema_owner=>'SYSTEM'); PL/SQL procedure successfully executed.
That's it. Nothing more to do. Keep that in mind in case your applications are fine tuned using SQL patches and you need to move them to different databases.

Backstreet Boy AJ McLean already has a number one country single thanks to "God, Your Mama, and Me," his group's collaboration with Florida Georgia Line. Now, he's hoping to repeat his success with his first official solo country single, "Boy and a Man."
The video for the song tells the story of a lifelong love, inspired by the Disney movie Up. It begins with AJ, as an old man, sitting in a rocking chair on his porch. The video then shows us the love story of a couple from childhood all the way through old age. AJ's real-life wife, Rochelle, even makes an appearance.
"A look at the future. Lol," AJ tweeted, along with a photo of himself in the old-man makeup. "Was so much fun to take inspiration from the movie Up for the #BoyAndAMan music video. Hope you all are enjoying it."
AJ will debut his country-influenced solo album, Long Road, this spring. In addition to launching his solo project, he'll be kicking off the Backstreet Boys DNA World Tour in May.
BSB wrap up their Las Vegas residency in April.

- Are there height restrictions?
- There are no height limits that will affect you qualifying for a civil professional license. But if you are particularly short or tall, less than 5'2" (157cm) or over 6'6" (200cm), you would be well advised to clarify which aircraft you would fit into and be able to reach all the controls comfortably. This would identify whether your height would limit your career prospects in the future.
- How can I find out if I am suitable for pilot training course with FLYBYSCHOOL?
- First check to see if you meet our entry criteria listed in our entry requirements. Before you can enroll at FLYBYSCHOOL, you will attend a pilot assessment process. This assessment is designed to assess an applicant's overall suitability for the pilot career. It typically comprises different aptitude tests. The results of this assessment will give you the best indication regarding your suitability for a career as a pilot.
- Will the training be different if I am male or female, or if I am an international student?
- Everyone that meets the minimum entry criteria may apply. FLYBYSCHOOL maintains equal opportunity standards that prohibit discrimination based on gender, race, religion, age or national origin. With regard to non-EU cadets, being accepted in our course, means you will be able to apply for a student visa. So far, our success record is 100% in obtaining visas for our students.
- What does it consist of?
- The FLYBYSCHOOL Integrated course takes students with little or no previous flying experience, to a Commercial Pilot's License (CPL) with a Multi-Engine Instrument Rating (MEIR) referred to as the 'frozen' ATPL. Also included at the end of training is a Multi Crew Co-operation (MCC). From this point, pilots can then be employed as a First Officer with an airline where they will need to obtain the Type Rating on the aircraft they will be flying.
- Graduate pilots with a 'frozen' ATPL are free to train onto any aircraft type and to fly for any airline that will accept their EASA license. Most airlines will initially assign new First Officers to "short haul" fleets so they can build experience in the more demanding departure and approach phases of flight. Once an ATPL holder has gained 1,500 hours experience, the ATPL becomes 'unfrozen' and they are then eligible to be considered for promotion to Captains.
- How much will flight training cost?
- The price of the course is inclusive of VAT, all training, accommodation, meals, landing fees, etc. It does not include transportation to and from point of origin. In order not to incur in additional costs, the student just needs to maintain good progress.
- How can I raise the money for training?
- FLYBYSCHOOL has agreements with banks and financial institutions that can provide loans. Students on the integrated course would be eligible to apply, but are also recommended to approach their own bank.
- Students from the United Kingdom
- Students from Spain
- Students from Turkey
Pilot Job Market
- How much will I earn as a pilot?
- There are many variables when starting your career as a professional pilot but, broadly, it greatly depends on the airline you are working for, the type of aircraft you are flying and the region of the world you are flying.
- In the European market a rough estimate for a pilot flying for a small regional airline initially could earn €30,000 per year. A first officer working for one of the larger European airlines could earn between €45,000 and €55,000 per year. Some airlines will take back the cost of the initial Type Rating, usually from the first years' salary. Experienced captains flying long-haul aircrafts could earn as much as €150,000 per year. Salaries tend to increase with each year of service with a company.
- Does FLYBYSCHOOL provide help to its graduates to secure pilot jobs at the end of training?
- There are two different types of ATP Integrated courses: cadet and self-sponsored. FLYBYSCHOOL is working towards having active cadetship programs although we currently do not offer such programs. Cadet programs are conducted in conjunction with airlines where selection process is conducted by both parties and students are offered a job after successful completion of their training.
- On the other hand, self-sponsored students decide to commence their training without any airline process approval, therefore there is no guarantee of a job offer. Being said this, FLYBYSCHOOL will try to facilitate job interviews through our network of contacts to those students that have excelled at their training.
- Do I need a medical certificate before I start?
- The simple answer is yes; No medical = No License. The initial medical can be completed at any EASA approved Aeromedical Centre (AeMC) but it is strongly recommended to do it in Spain. Cost of this medical is included in our fees.
- For non-EU students, it would be advisable to attend a local medical assessment for a local equivalent of a Class 1 Medical to avoid wasting money before training can commence.

Over the past few weeks, we have learned a good deal about what can be done to improve food security in Canada, a key element of our collective health.
The scope of the issue is considerable, with over 3 million Canadians not getting enough to eat to 2014, but what really stands out in PROOF's work is the growing nature of the problem.
Hon. Lawrence MacAulay
With food insecurity growing across Canada, the onus to act is on government officials like Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Foods Lawrence MacAulay. Minister MacAulay has a special role to play because of his responsibility to develop a national food policy.
Lessons from the practical activities of people like Gord Enns of the Saskatoon Food Council need to be combined with the focus on food production of researchers like Wanda Martin as this new national approach is being designed. This said, implementation does not automatically follow planning, a lesson that advocates of action on improving food security know well.
Canada's Action Plan for Food Security was drafted in 1998 following the country's participation in the UN's World Food Summit. It included references to the right to food — a focus of Professor Emeritus Graham Riches - as well as a recognition that food insecurity occurs in every country, regardless of overall wealth. Considerable focus was placed on developing a clear understanding of what food insecurity looks like in Canada in the Action Plan as, at the time, we had no national survey which tracked the extent of the problem.
Real action to reduce hunger was not, unfortunately, a legacy of the Action Plan — instead, subsequent progress reports revealed a 'patchwork' approach to combating food insecurity which did not rely on a data-based understanding of the problem to design solutions. This is despite some serious action being taken at the provincial level to reduce food insecurity, such as those attributed to Newfoundland & Labrador's poverty reduction strategy. More recently, ideas like basic income and the living wage have been attracting serious attention, two interventions which would strike at the relationship between low income and food insecurity. Other factors like the costs of housing, childcare and access to civil support also contribute significantly to problems accessing food. These social determinants of health and well being cannot be disconnected, and any plan to improve Canadian food security must recognize this range of economic and social challenges.
There is an opportunity today to replace this patchwork with something more complete, an approach to improving food security which recognizes that many food security organizations work at the local level, that much of our food production is export-oriented and does not go directly to feeding Canadians, and that the experience of food insecurity is closely tied to income level. While the federal government cannot be expected to solve this issue alone, what does need to change is its level of commitment to backing sustained and significant action to improve food security.
"Any plan to improve Canadian food security must recognize this range of economic and social challenges."
Upstream will be closely following Minister MacAulty's work on developing a national food policy, and will be encouraging him to use it to improve food security. Drawing on the work of our food security contributors, we will be developing a formal submission to the Minister that links the health of Canadians to the national food policy, and provide options for action. We would love to hear from you on what you think a national food policy ought to do to improve food security; reach out on Twitter, Facebook, or via email.
Cody Sharpe is Upstream's Policy Coordinator. He is currently completing his PhD in public policy at the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy.

You know what I really dislike? I'm watching the Colbert show or Bill Maher or pretty much anything else with a TV audience, and some guy in the audience gives out a piercing "WHOO!" in a quick high pitched way, an attempt to take part in what's going on up on stage. You can see a flicker of irritation from the stage performer, but they don't say anything. The guy is being "positive", after all, he's giving a "shout out", he's approving of what has been said, what has been referenced–how can you argue with that? Well, I can argue with it. It makes me grit my teeth and roll my eyes.
I think what bothers me most about it is knowing *Whoo! Guy* doesn't really care about whatever he's Whooing about. Whether it's ostensibly a political support Whoo! or a "Hot damn, yeah, Meryl Streep is coming out next" Whoo! or a "Yeah, slam it to those phony celebs" Whoo! or whatever it is. In the latter case, especially, he's being a hypocrite because he's trying to play Tiny Little Moment of Celebrity *Whoo!* Guy. "Hear that? That was ME!" He's like one of those guys who stop behind newscasters on the street and give a wink and a thumbs up. "Hey I was on TV today!"
It's distracting and it's annoying and he thinks it's Making The Scene. Like Meryl Streep is going to think, "Oh thank you, Whoo! Guy, I'll always remember you."
You don't notice them? Listen next time.

Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system was finally made available in the form of a Technical Preview last year, and this beta version has already seen millions of downloads since its release.
Now, yet another pre-release build is expected to be detailed during Microsoft's 21 January event, during which the Redmond-based company will also be making public various newer aspects (features) of the much-awaited operating platform.
This pre-release build, according to Gabriel Aul (head-honcho of Windows Insider Program), will be available to download in the form of an ISO image.
This means that users can resort to manually downloading the next Windows 10 beta-version as and when these are released.
Also, users whose computers run the current Windows 10 beta build can also update to the newest build automatically, as Gabrieal Aul points out that the next Windows 10 OS build will also be supplied via the Windows Update.
Another important factor to note at this point in time, is that the next Windows 10 build will not be the build number 9901 which surfaced late last year, according to a Tech Radar report.
Users eager to try out the newer official build should get a lot to cheer about, as manual downloading and clean installation of ISOs allow people to fully test out a particular build and gauge its adaptability over systems.
Automatic upgradation to newer OS build may not always be the preferred choice of people, especially the tech-savvy.
Windows 10 expected to be available to Windows 7/8 users directly
According to an official tweet by Microsoft's Insider head-honcho Gabriel Aul, Windows 7 and newer OSes support full upgrade installation paths, whereas users stuck on older Windows platforms will have to upgrade to the newest OS via Microsoft's standalone ISO.
Windows 10 free for Windows 8.1 users?
Along with providing direct upgrade paths, Windows 8 users [particularly those running the comparatively newer Windows 8.1] will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 free of cost, according to a Softpedia report.
The Softpedia report [quoting unnamed sources] states that users running Windows 7, which still drives nearly 50% of the world's computers, would have to pay a nominal sum to obtain and run Redmond's newest desktop OS.
However, those using XP and Vista would have to pay the entire cost of the Windows 10 software for an upgrade.
Features to check for in Windows 10 stable release
- Cortana integration: According to a recent report, Cortana will be available to desktop users running Windows 10, in the form of an application.
- Mini Start Menu: Considering the flak it received from users for eliminating the start button within Windows 8, Microsoft during its Build conference earlier in the year showcased a prototype of a new 'Mini Start Menu'. The prototype showcased floating Live Tiles in the Start Menu, which lets users access both metro-style and conventional (traditional Windows) apps.
- Focus on desktop users: On desktops, the Windows 10 interface is expected to boot as default rather than letting users choose between the traditional Windows and metro-style user interfaces.
