Joint statement by Brazil, Germany, India and Japan
at the informal plenary of the intergovernmental negotiations
13 March 2012
Thank you Mr. Chairman.
I have the honor of making a joint introductory statement on behalf of the G4.
Mr. Chairman, you had given us the opportunity in January to introduce in more detail the rational
and the content of our initiative, which has come to be known as the "short resolution". We were
encouraged by the strong show of support that the short resolution initiative, and the principles for
which it stands, has received during the previous two debates.
We are particularly grateful for the strong support that the initiative has received from the Member
States of the L.69 Group. This also shows that the initiative enjoys strong support from a large,
diverse, and cross regional group of Member States - big and small, from the developing and the
developed world.
Mr. Chairman,
Like numerous other Member States, the members of the L.69 Group share with us the conviction
that only a structural reform of the Security Council will ensure that the Council is adequately
adapted to effectively meet the challenges of the 21st Century. This structural reform will include
at its core the addition of new permanent members and new non-permanent members.
The G4 has always underlined that the Council should be expanded in both the permanent and
non-permanent categories of membership, taking into consideration the contributions made by
countries to the maintenance of international peace and security, as well as the need for
increased representation of developing countries in both categories. On numerous occasions, we
have reconfirmed our view that Africa should be represented in the permanent membership in an
enlarged Council.
Like numerous other Member States, the members of the L.69 Group agree with us that to move
the reform process forward, we should acknowledge the wide support for two key principles:
Firstly, that expansion in membership should be in both categories, permanent and nonpermanent,
and secondly, that the working methods of the Council should be improved.
We are convinced that agreement on those two key principles would enable Member States to
finally move forward towards real negotiations. We see the short resolution as a vehicle towards
this outcome. Let us agree on these principles and then focus on the actual substance and
modalities of how to implement this agreement in real negotiations. This is a realistic and resultsdriven
The debates we had so far, and surely the debate of today, prove that a wide coalition of Member
States supports expansion of the Security Council in both the permanent and non-permanent
categories and improvement of its working methods.
This is a reality that needs to be acknowledged. It also needs to be adequately reflected in the
intergovernmental negotiations. We share the view that such strong support should be considered
as the basis for further discussion in the ongoing intergovernmental negotiations to create the
momentum needed for real negotiations among Member States on this all-important matter.
I thank you, Mr. Chairman

Penn State University reached settlements over the past few months with what it calls 26 victims of former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky — settlements that will cost the university a total of $59.7 million, the school announced Monday.
Of the 26 settlements, 23 are signed and three are agreed in principle, with final documentation expected within the next few weeks, the school said. The school also indicated a few other settlements still could come.
Sandusky was convicted in June 2012 of 45 counts relating to the sexual abuse of young boys. He's serving a 30- to 60-year prison sentence.
The school said the 26 people receiving settlements are among 32 who "were or allege that they were victims of Sandusky." The school "rejected certain of the six remaining claims as being without merit and has engaged others in possible settlement discussions."
"We hope this is another step forward in the healing process for those hurt by Mr. Sandusky, and another step forward for Penn State," university President Rodney Erickson said in a statement. "We cannot undo what has been done, but we can and must do everything possible to learn from this and ensure it never happens again at Penn State."

With the introduction of the iPhone 5, Apple finally left its proprietary 30-pin connector behind and introduced a new 8-pin, dynamic connector, code-named Lightning. If you're not familiar with the basic changes to Apple's proprietary connector, there are few key things that you do need to know.
Since switching from my iPhone 4S, I've not been able to find a powered third-party dock or car kit for it. The Magellan Car Kit that I got last year comes with a 30-pin connector and won't work with the iPhone 5. This is a common problem for most everyone with a collection of 30-pin accessories. Heck, its been many years since Apple last tweaked its connectors. I've been all over the Internet looking for third-party accessories for my iPhone 5 with very little luck.
I know this has a lot to do with how much power the device can safely carry and the cost and complexity of the logic board that governs dynamic pin functionality; in other words, it's harder to make accessories for Lightning than for the old connector. But it's still frustrating. I can't find a clear, definitive reason why these accessories aren't available yet. I've done a lot of searches over the past few months looking for new accessories, and there are just a few available. Those few, like the Belkin Sync and Charge Dock with Audio for iPhone 5, require you to bring your own cable.
An Apple branded Lightning to USB Cable is $20, a bit pricey if you ask me, for the standard cable that comes with the iPhone 5, iPad Mini or iPad 4. With the holidays upon us, I would have thought that third-party manufacturers would have had their accessories introduced by Black Friday in order to take full advantage of the holiday buying season. They haven't. This leaves me with two conclusions: Either no one's cracked the secret sauce or Apple has set the certification bar very high for the latest generation of iDevice accessories.
In either case, along with the Apple Maps debacle, this is a sign that Apple didn't handle the most recent iPhone and iPad releases as smoothly as it has prior ones.

"Sacha, don't overthink this," said a friend of mine. This is not new advice, and naturally made me think about why I've heard it so many times before. (Couldn't help it!)
I can see why people would think that I think too much. I share a lot of thoughts on my blog, and I often ask myself deep questions. Other people play things by ear, but I can usually give a few reasons why I'm doing things or why I'm feeling a certain way. Even when I haven't quite figured out how to express something, people know I'm thinking about it. That said, I can't explain everything. When I try to explain why I do things, I end up helplessly shrugging, trying to describe that--feeling? instinct? intuition?--that _sense_ of what might be the best thing to do at a particular time.
But do I overthink things? Do I strangle my spontaneity in logic and attempt to reduce everything to a logic statement along the lines of "If p implies q then not q implies not p"?
I don't feel that I overthink things. I might give people that impression, though, because I've had a lot of practice thinking about what I feel, I like calibrating myself every so often, and I share those thoughts with other people.
A friend remarked on my ability to articulate what I feel and what I believe in. Like many things in life, reflection is a matter of practice.
I've long thought about what I feel and why I feel that way. One of the mementos my mom keeps in a fireproof safe is a letter that I wrote her when I was very very young. "I hate you," started the letter, and it went on to explain how upset I was that my mom had broken her promise to Kathy about cookies.
I don't remember writing that letter, but I do remember writing about how I hated it when my dad stole food off my plate, especially in front of my friends - and then leaving the notebook conveniently around. I think I even left it open to the right section. My mom picked it up and brought it to my dad's attention, and my dad duly changed his behavior. In fact, he teased us about it during mealtimes, stealing from my sister's plate instead.
Likewise, I've written and talked about what I want to do with my life. My vision changes from year to year, or even from day to day as I learn new things. Still, because I think about my goals and principles and I keep searching for better ways to express them, I've had plenty of practice thinking and explaining the results.
New stuff I think about builds on stuff I've already thought about, which is great! =)
Every so often, I like taking a step back and making sure I'm on the right track. I also feel a deep need to recenter, recharge, and recalibrate whenever I feel something's off. That means taking stock of my goals, my priorities, and my plans for getting from here to there. That means exploring what I feel about certain issues and trying to come to a decision that I respect.
I don't think about the meaning of life all the time, and I try not to worry about things too much. I spend some time thinking about things when I sense that I need to clarify something or when something doesn't quite fit.
I think about these things so that when I am in the moment, I do not need to think. Rather, I can act confidently, knowing that my actions are in line with my principles and values. I love that feeling when you know you're doing just the right thing at just the right time with just the right people. It's definitely worth spending time thinking about one's priorities in order to get that aha! moment.
The third factor that makes people think I overthink is that I think
out loud: on my blog, in
I like sharing my thoughts for many reasons. Other people are going through similar difficulties, and they often have insights and tips to share. Talking with other people keeps me honest, too. In fact, I often prefer small- or medium-sized groups over one-on-ones when it comes to conversation.
Good stuff.

I love my family to bits. Here's a recent story from my mom:
Hi Sacha, we spent the night here in Alabang. Kathy (for the most part) and I cooked. although papa volunteered to wash the dishes, he was overwhelmed by the task - because we had guests :). Last night he joked that he would like to go back to the Philippines so he could call Jeanna to wash dishes.:D Actually, he went to bed promising to do the dishes in the morning but Tita Liz and Jed took charge and cleaned everything after papa went upstairs. I didn't tell papa. ;) When he woke up, he said he would do as promised. When he saw that all the dishes had been cleaned, he said his fairy godmothers came to do the work for him. But he did wash the dishes that we used at breakfast. He is being broken in, and we're having fun. Wish you were here.
Papa asked, "Whats the best way to wash dishes?" Kathy answered, "Dial (our home phone number), and tell Jeanna you'd pick her up in half an hour." :-D Seriously though, Papa did a great job.
I love how my family jokes with each other. =)brooklyn on Flickr. License: Creative Commons attribution sharealike.
I bought a skateboard today. It kept bubbling up in my consciousness, so I finally went ahead and got one. I headed down to the skateboard shop in Kensington Market and talked to the person at the counter about what I wanted. She talked to me about my options and advised me not to go for the cheap already-assembled ones or buy a used one. I thought she made sense. =) If I'm going to try this out, I might as well pay for good stuff so that I don't have to struggle with it. Nice, big wheels, good tracks, etc. I got a used deck, though, as I don't really need a bright and shiny one. I'm also not planning to do any tricks that'll really chew up my board... ;)
I spent the next hour or so figuring out how to travel in a straight line. I still haven't quite figured out how to come to a sudden halt, although I've gotten the hang of using my foot to speed up or try to stop.
What I really, really appreciate about skateboards is that when I panic, I can _get_ _off._ It so totally owns bicycles and inline skates in that respect. Being able to get off the board when I feel even the least bit worried saved me quite a number of falls earlier!
I used it on the way back, too. The road going up to Harbord (one street west of Spadina) was fairly quiet and car-free, so I tried it out. I managed to make it all the way up to Harbord without doing a faceplant! Happy girl. I didn't dare try it with the cars and people on Harbord Street, though, but I'll get there soon enough.
I'm cooling off in my dorm room a bit before heading along Bay to deposit those checks and go to Indigo. Bay is a busy street, so I won't take my skateboard. Besides, I've practiced enough for today. I'm looking forward to playing with it more tomorrow, though!

Is Disney going to destroy the integrity of Star Wars after all? That's what a ludicrous new rumor claims. Also, a surprising Avenger could be showing up in Guardians of the Galaxy. Zack Snyder has some hints about the tone of Man of Steel. Guillermo del Toro's vampire TV show could start filming pretty soon. Plus brand new posters for The Host and Warm Bodies, and your first pictures of Thor in Thor 2.
Spoilers ahead!
Star Wars VII
We've got a few more directors backing away in casually non-committed way from the project.
Colin Trevorrow, who directed the indie time-travel flick Safety Not Guaranteed, was rumored to be considered for the project, but when asked about it replied:
"I have very little to say about it. Certainly, no specifics about whats going on behind the scenes in the selection of that person [a director]. I think that I can speak as a Star Wars fan, which is important to me. Whoever does do this movie, I think, just needs to have a fundamental understanding of why it's important to us. We come from a generation who grew up with this as children, to us it's almost a belief system. It's harder for people who are older or who were already teenagers when the movie came out to understand how deeply it is our mythology.
And many fans' favorite option, Guillermo Del Toro, might be interested in the job, but he's not about to chase after it,
You know, I saw it on the Internet, but I haven't approached them, they haven't formally approached me. I mean, I heard some rumblings, but to me it's really - I have so many projects to discuss or think about. [For] something that is not a possibility yet, I don't do that. You know, because I have so many things that I need to catch up with. If this becomes ever a reality, and there's an approach to do it, I would then think about it, but - it's like thinking if I want to date a supermodel. I don't think about these things.
It is important to note that the emphasis on "formally" is Del Toro's, so there may be hope yet! [IGN]
Get out your salt shakers, because you're going to need all the grains of salt for this next rumor: Disney wants to bring Darth Vader back. The U.K. tabloid, The Express, quotes an industry source as saying, "He's an integral part of the franchise. Replacing him is virtually impossible. The plan is for him to return and play a significant role in the new films."
First, UK tabloids are notorious for just making things up – but it totally sounds like something Disney would at least want. Darth Vader sells a lot of lunchboxes and, honestly, Darth Maul kind of sucked. Second, while some people wonder how this could happen post-Jedi, it's important to remember just how advanced cloning technology is in the Star Wars universe. [Slashfilm]
Man of Steel
Sober minded, pensive director Zack Snyder talked to the L.A. Times about the tone of his upcoming cinematic foray:
"It's a more serious version of Superman. It's not like a heart attack. We took the mythology seriously. We take him as a character seriously. I believe the movie would appeal to anyone. I think that you're going to see a Superman you've never seen before. We approached it as though no other films had been made.
He also gushed about Superman's place in superhero mythology.
He's the king-daddy. Honestly that's why I wanted to do it. I'm interested in Superman because he's the father of all superheroes. He's this amazing ambassador for all superheroes. What was it about him that cracked the code that made pop culture embrace this other mythology? What we've made as a film not only examines that but is also an amazing adventure story. It's been an honor to work on. As a comic book fan, Superman is like the Rosetta Stone of all superheroes.
The Host
When asked about the structure of this adaptation of Stephenie Meyers non-Twilight novel, star Saoirse Ronan said, "In the cut that I saw there were still quite a few flashbacks which is good because it gives you a chance to see the relationship between Melanie and Jared." [MTV]
And here's the poster, to tide you over until the trailer is available. [Fandango]
Warm Bodies
The zombie romantic comedy has a sweet new poster! [EW]
Assassin's Creed
For a non-gamer, I'm a big fan of the AC games, but I'm personally having trouble believing that the multiple timeline / DNA memory / Chariot-of-the-Gods-esque plot / historically Catholic organization is evil / Muslims are good / liberal all the way back around to libertarian worldview of the games could ever be a movie. Even after they cast Michael Fassbender, I didn't believe it. I am also wrong, since Ubisoft's chief marketing officer has now said, "we have the movie in the coming year."
It's unclear if that refers to the start of filming, a release date or possibly the fiscal year, with a release date in 2014. But it's really happening. [IGN]
Guardians of the Galaxy
The interstellar superhero team might be getting a familiar face plate in their upcoming film. Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man might have a cameo, possibly similar to his appearance in The Incredible Hulk. [Comic Book Resources]
Thor: The Dark World
The sequel has begun filming, and here's the photographic evidence! Check out a behind the scenes look at Chris Hemsworth in full Thor regalia, at the link. [Splash News]
The Breach
David Goyer, the screenwriter for The Dark Knight and Man of Steel is moving into producing – because all anyone wants to do is produce – for the adaptation of Patrick Lee's novel about
ex-con/ex-cop Travis Chase [who] is dragged into a battle for the future that revolves around an amazing artifact.
Relative newcomer Justin Rhodes will write the actual screenplay. [Film School Rejects]
Here's the plot synopsis for episode 4x05:
Finn finally tracks down his real father, only to discover that he's close to death. As he tries to build a relationship with him, Finn realises that his newly discovered half-sister might know more about their father's illness than she's letting on. Finn continues his sleuthing in an attempt to win Jess's affection by discovering Alex's hidden secret.
The Strain
MTV interviewed Guillermo Del Toro about his upcoming adaptation of his book into an FX television show. The pilot has been green-lit and filming will begin in August, after Pacific Rim premieres. In the fall we'll know if FX plans to pick up the series for its 2014 schedule.
As far as the look of the show, Del Toro describes it thusly:
It's real but it feels a little stylized. But the way the camera work will be is very realistic. We want to keep the camera very documentary even if the look of the show is not. The look of the show is very designed. The style of the camera and the storytelling will be very loose. It will evolve from that feel of reality, and little by little we want to evolve into more stylish, horror feel that requires smoother camera moves, more suspense and atmosphere-driven moments so it will be a mixture.
Here's a sneak peek for episode 1x06, "Legacies."
Game of Thrones
Tim Plester, who had minor roles in Kick-Ass and Doctor Who, has been cast as Black Walder. [SpoilerTV]
American Horror Story
Ryan Murphy tweeted that the identity of Bloodyface would be revealed in this week's episode, "I am Anne Frank Part 2." [SpoilerTV]
Once Upon a Time
We now know the plot of episode 2x09, "Queen of Hearts," airing December 2:
Cora and Hook face off with Mary Margaret and Emma in a race to secure the compass, which will point its holder to the portal into Storybrooke. But back on the other side, Regina and Mr. Gold, desperate to keep Cora out, put a plan into action that would kill anyone entering the portal – placing Mary Margaret's and Emma's lives in danger as well. Meanwhile, back in the fairytale land that was, Captain Hook travels to Wonderland and meets up with a vengeful Queen of Hearts.
Here are photos from episode 2x08 "Into the Deep". [SpoilerTV]
The Walking Dead
Here's the sneak peek for episode 3x06, "Hounded."
And here are some photos from the same episode. [SpoilerTV]
Here are some pictures of the locations for episode 8x11, "LARP and the Real Girl," which will feature the return of Felicia Day as Charlie Bradbury. [YVR Schoots]
Here's a plot synopsis for episode 5x09:
Merlin knows he must act fast before Morgana's twisted control over Gwen gets further out of hand. But only the most powerful magic can save the Queen and this will not be easy, even for Merlin. As the High Priestess tightens her grip on Camelot, one thing is clear - she will not give up her puppet without a fight.

Sue Carter talked about Oxytocin, a neuropeptide hormone best known for its role in birth and breastfeeding. Oxytocin is a brain tool for building trust and social bonds, such as between parents and infants. Perhaps a million years ago our ancestors learned how to use this mammalian mechanism to promote social bonding beyond sexual union, in order to form groups and tribes. Oxytocin, and the related hormone, vasopressin, regulate social monogamy, including pair bonding and parental care, central to experiences of "love".
Studies of the neurobiology of love have provided a deeper understanding of both mental health and mental illness. Infants suffering from childhood neglect suffer from reduced oxytocin and vasopressin levels into adulthood. There, the absence of love leaves a biological scar, which is then passed down inter-generationally.
Learning Objectives:
(a) This presentation will define concepts such as "social monogamy" and "love" from a scientific perspective.
(b) The endocrine causes and consequences of social bonds and related social behaviors will be examined using evidence from humans and other monogamous mammals.
(c) The mental health implications of sexually-dimorphic hormones such as oxytocin and vasopressin will be discussed, using autism as an example.
This talk was given at the conference "Brain Development and Learning 2010 Meeting" in Vancouver. It was an interdisciplinary conference devoted to improving children's lives by making cutting-edge research in neuroscience, child psychology, & medicine.

On 13 April 2017 changes were made to the Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986 (Cth) (AHRCA). Please refer to the fact sheet for more information about these changes.
Fact sheet - Changes to the AHRCA (April 2017).pdf
Fact sheet - Changes to the AHRCA (April 2017).docx
All of the information on this website has been updated to reflect the changes.
What can I complain about?
The Australian Human Rights Commission can investigate and resolve complaints of discrimination, harassment and bullying based on a person's:
- sex, including pregnancy, marital or relationship status (including same-sex de facto couples) status, breastfeeding, family responsibilities, sexual harassment, gender identity, intersex status and sexual orientation
- disability, including temporary and permanent disabilities; physical, intellectual, sensory, psychiatric disabilities, diseases or illnesses; medical conditions; work related injuries; past, present and future disabilities; and association with a person with a disability
- race, including colour, descent, national or ethnic origin, immigrant status and racial hatred
- age, covering young people and older people
- sexual preference, criminal record, trade union activity, political opinion, religion or social origin (in employment only)
It is against the law to be discriminated against in many areas of public life, including employment, education, the provision of goods, services and facilities, accommodation, sport and the administration of Commonwealth laws and services.
The Commission can also investigate and resolve complaints about alleged breaches of human rights against the Commonwealth and its agencies.
How are complaints resolved?
Complaints to the Commission are resolved through a process known as conciliation. This is where the people involved in a complaint talk through the issues with the help of someone impartial and settle the matter on their own terms.
Conciliation is a very successful way of resolving complaints. Feedback shows that most people find our process fair, informal and easy to understand. It also helps them to better understand the issues and come up with solutions that are appropriate to their circumstances.
Complaint outcomes can include an apology, reinstatement to a job, compensation for lost wages, changes to a policy or developing and promoting anti-discrimination policies.

Common library for generic programming
Johan Jeuring and Andres Loeh announced an initiative to design a common library for generic programming, which should work together with most of the Haskell compilers, and for which they hope to guarantee support for generics in Haskell into the future. If you want to get involved (or just want to see the discussion), you can subscribe to the generics mailing list. Check the Haskell research wiki for some background on generics.
Work Plan
We have identified a number of approaches that are potential candidates to a generic programming library:
Generics for the Masses
Generics as a library
Extensible superclasses
Almost compositional functions
At the moment we are discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches. Each approach is roughly two weeks under discussion and the results will be published in this Wiki Page. There is also a darcs repository where you can find some code that we are collecting. For retriving this code do:
> darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/generics
The template that we are using to summarise the different approaches can be found here.
- Uniplate, recently released by Neil Mitchell.
Benchmark suite
We have developed a benchmark suite that tests the expressiveness of different generic programming libraries. For more information go to: GPBench.

Judge Seidlin "Very Impressed" with Birkhead
Judge Larry Seidlin finished a long, contentious day in court just moments ago, proclaiming himself "very impressed" with Larry Birkhead's testimony, and adding that Birkhead had "put a lot of meat" on the bones of the Anna Nicole Smith body-disposition case. Seidlin quite pointedly didn't make similar remarks after Howard K. Stern vacated the witness stand.
The judge said that Birkhead would continue to testify tomorrow, starting at 10:30 a.m. EST, and that he wanted the respective litigants' attorneys to submit their recommendations for judgment in the case tomorro by 5 p.m. Seidlin has maintained that he will render his judgment or, as he likes to put it, "fashion a remedy," for the conflict by Friday morning.

Another day another mix cd of other people's music plus someone name checking themselves constantly. Stanton Warriors are allegedly great innovators in the UK dance scene. However, most of this cd recalls the better times for underground house using samples and loops common around 1990. Their remix of "Doomsnight" adds an eighties two chord riff and some rap, which does improve upon the undeniably bland original. However, their lone bona-fide original track, "Da Virus", sounds like something Altern8 would knock up on their tea break. So, officially, it's a cd of two halves. If you're up for some heady "Rave 92" kickbacks then this is good. If you're looking for anything post "Music For The Jilted Generation" you'll be sorely disappointed.

The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples of Christ
BY Rev. Andrew Murray
Chapter 15 Righteousness
"He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" kjv@Micah:6:8.
"Yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God ....Being then made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness. Even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness" kjv@Romans:6:13 kjv@Romans:6:18-19.
The word of Micah teaches us that the fruit of the salvation of God is chiefly seen in three things. The new life must be characterised, in my relation to God and His will, by righteousness and doing right. It must be characterised in my relation to my neighbour, by love and benevolence. It must be characterised in relation to myself, by humility and lowliness. For the present, we will meditate on righteousness.
Scripture teaches us that no man is righteous before God, or has any righteousness that can stand before God ( kjv@Psalms:14:3 kjv@Psalms:143:2 kjv@Romans:3:10 kjv@Romans:3:20). It says that man receives the rightness or righteousness of Christ for nothing, and that by this righteousness--received in faith--he is justified before God ( kjv@Romans:3:22-24 kjv@Romans:10:3 kjv@Romans:10:10 kjv@1Corinthians:1:30 kjv@2Corinthians:5:21 kjv@Galatians:2:16 kjv@Philippians:3:9). This righteous sentence of God is something binding by which the life of righteousness is implanted in man, and he learns to live a righteous life ( kjv@Romans:5:17-18 kjv@Romans:6:13 kjv@Romans:6:18-19 kjv@Romans:8:3 kjv@Titus:1:3 kjv@Titus:2:12 kjv@1John:2:29 kjv@1John:3:9-10). Being right with God is followed by doing right. "The just shall live by faith" a righteous life ( kjv@Galatians:3:11).
It is to be feared that this is not always understood. One sometimes thinks more of justification than of righteousness in life and walk. To understand the will and the thoughts of God, let us trace what the Scriptures teach us on this point. We will be convinced that the man who is clothed in a divine righteousness before God must also walk before God and man in a divine righteousness.
Consider how, in the Word, the servants of God are praised as righteous ( kjv@Genesis:6:9 kjv@Genesis:7:1 kjv@Matthew:1:19 kjv@Luke:1:6 kjv@Luke:2:25 kjv@2Peter:2:7) --how the favour and blessing of God are pronounced on the righteous ( kjv@Psalms:1:6 kjv@Psalms:5:12 kjv@Psalms:14:5 kjv@Psalms:34:16 kjv@Psalms:34:20 kjv@Psalms:37:17 kjv@Psalms:37:39 kjv@Psalms:92:13 kjv@Psalms:97:11 kjv@Psalms:146:8) --how the righteous are called to confidence, to joy ( kjv@Psalms:32:1l kjv@Psalms:33:1 kjv@Psalms:58:11 kjv@Psalms:64:10 kjv@Psalms:68:4 kjv@Psalms:97:12). See this especially in the Book of Psalms. See how often in Proverbs ( kjv@Proverbs:10:3-32) all blessing is pronounced upon the righteous. See how everywhere men are divided into two classes--the righteous and the godless ( kjv@Ecclesiastes:3:17 kjv@Isaiah:3:10 kjv@Ezekiel:3:18-20 kjv@Ezekiel:18:21-23 kjv@Ezekiel:33:12 kjv@Malachi:3:18 kjv@Matthew:5:45 kjv@Matthew:12:49 kjv@Matthew:25:46). See how, in the New Testament, the Lord Jesus demands this righteousness ( kjv@Matthew:5:6 kjv@Matthew:5:20 kjv@Matthew:6:33). See how Paul, who announces most of the doctrine of justification by faith alone, insists that this is the aim of justification-to form righteous men, who do right ( kjv@Romans:3:31 kjv@Romans:6:13 kjv@Romans:6:22 kjv@Romans:7:4-6 kjv@Romans:8:4 kjv@2Corinthians:9:9-10 kjv@Philippians:l:11 kjv@1Timothy:6:11). See how John names righteousness along with love as the two indispensable marks of the children of God ( kjv@1John:2:4 kjv@1John:2:11 kjv@1John:2:29 kjv@1John:3:10 kjv@1John:5:2). When you put all these facts together, it must be very evident to you that a true Christian is a man who does righteousness in all things, even as God is righteous.
Scripture will also teach you what this righteousness is. It is a life in accordance with the commands of God, in all their depth and profoundness. The righteous man does what is right in the eyes of the Lord ( kjv@Psalms:119:166-168 kjv@Luke:1:6 kjv@Luke:1:75 kjv@1Thessalonians:2:10). He does not obey the rules of human action--he does not ask what man considers lawful. A man who stands right with God, who walks uprightly with God, dreads, above all things, even the least unrighteousness. He is afraid, above all, of being partial to himself and of doing any wrong to his neighbour for the sake of his own advantage. In great and little things alike, he takes the Scriptures as his measure and line. As an ally of God, he knows that the way of righteousness is the way of blessing and life and joy.
Consider, further, the promises of blessing and joy which God has for the righteous. Then live as one who--in friendship with God, and clothed with the righteousness of His Son through faith--has no alternative but to do righteousness.
O Lord, You have said, "There is no God else beside Me: a just God and a Saviour" ( kjv@Isaiah:45:21).You are my God. It is as a righteous God that You are my Saviour and have redeemed me in Your Son. As a righteous God, You make me righteous also, and say to me that the righteous will live by faith. Lord, let the new life in me be the life of faith, the life of a righteous man. Amen.
1. Observe the connection between the doing of righteousness and sanctification in kjv@Romans:6:19-22 - "Yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness." "Having become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification." The doing of righteousness, righteousness in conduct and action, is the way to holiness. Obedience is the way to become filled with the Holy Spirit. And the indwelling of God through the Spirit is holiness.
2. "Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness" ( kjv@Matthew:3:15). It was when Jesus had spoken that word that He was baptised with the Spirit. Let us set aside every temptation not to walk in full obedience toward God as He did, and we too will be filled with the Spirit. "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness" ( kjv@Matthew:5:6).
3. Take pains to set before yourselves the image of a man who so walks that the name of "righteous" is involuntarily given to him. Think of his uprightness, his conscientious care to cause no one to suffer the least injury, his holy fear and carefulness to transgress none of the commands of the Lord--righteous and walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. Then say to the Lord that you should so live.
4. You understand now the great word, "The Just shall live by faith" ( kjv@Galatians:3:11). By faith the godless man is justified and becomes a righteous man. By faith he lives as a righteous man.

Subtitled, "Has Western Society Come to an End?" Armstrong presents some key historical figures who believe that nations/ societies have life cycles. He then goes on to discuss how our country came into being and how "We are now coming up on the cyclical turning point for THE USA. It is either an opportunity to make an advance in civilization, or a collapse into self-interest and war. The choice is ours!"
Most who believe in economic cycles believe that we are destined to make the same types of errors as those who preceded us in history. In fact, much of Armstrong's own writing counters his last sentence that "The choice is ours!" Everyone likes to believe they have some choice, some control, over events and indeed I believe that we do. Hopefully modern communications will affect our collective conscious's enough to help us wisely choose a correct path – one such as Freedom's Vision!

I don't know it's a bug or not but 'Error While expunging folder' error message in Evolution is very annoying. You can't empty your Trash bin mean if you don't solve your evolution local database will become bigger and bigger. There are few solutions you can get from the Internet.
I wrote this article for easier solution with very clear instructions.
As you can see from the below picture, at the bottom screen, this error suddenly occur when I tried to empty my Evolution trash (File > Empty Trash).
Now, I will show you how to fix this problem.
First thing first, back up your emails. In case, a worst thing happen you still have a back up.
From the main menu choose (File > Backup Settings).
Select any folder where you want to put your backup file and type a filename.
I suggest to start with 'Year-Month-Date-description' format file name. It will make you easier for tracing at the time you need in the future.
The backup process is in about to begin. Press 'yes' button to start the process.
Backup process is on progress.
After you backup your emails, close your evolution.
Now open your file browser.
Go to evolution/mail/local folder. My location is '/home/taufanlubis/.evolution/mail/local', your one is only different after /home/your_one/…………..
The folder is hidden so you have to set your file browser to enable 'Show hidden files'.
Select 'View > Show hidden files' to enable it then go to evolution folder.
Select any files that start with '.cmeta' and '.index'.
After you select the files, click right mouse button and choose 'Move to Trash'.
After you deleted the files, open again your evolution.
Now, you can empty your trash.
As you can see below, the process is success.
As I said, you need to back up your emails first. Because, the process it may not 100% success.
When I did my one, I hope the whole process is success but I still got one email that is irrecoverably corrupted.
Well, hope that this article is clear enough and help you to solve the problem.

Hines Ward, who guest blogs about Dancing With The Stars for the Los Angeles Times, was driving home from a late dinner through North Hollywood early this morning when he "was briefly detained at gunpoint in a mix-up over a reported stolen car." Seems as if his ladyfriend (or friend who happens to be a lady) told police that that very car stolen a couple weeks back and, well, D.W.Half.B. in L.A. and all that.
Ward told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen in a text message that it was all a misunderstanding.
"There's not a story. It was a misunderstanding and the police apologized to me. I didn't get arrested. I don't have a reaction to a non story," he wrote.
That's all well and good, but we've only heard one side.

Anna Faris and Mr. T Star in Bizarre, Pun-Heavy Old Navy Ad
Given his name and his history as a pitchman, it would seem Mr. T would be the perfect person to sell t-shirts. So it is sort of surprising that no one has used him in a t-shirt selling capacity prior to Old Navy putting him in their latest ad campaign. (It's sort of surprising Old Navy didn't think of this before, because we're pretty sure the former A-Team player was available.)
In this funny infomercial spoof, T touts Old Navy t-shirts as the "greatest, most softest, best-fitting T's in the history of everything." Anna Faris is along for the ride, explaining that ill-fitting t-shirts made her a "dillweed" and a horror to work with, but now that she's put the comfort of Old Navy on her skin she's turned her life around. Get ready for a endless parade of puns below.
It wouldn't be right to say that Mr. T is ageless. He'll be 60 this year and while he looks younger than he should, he looks older than when we first met him almost 30 years ago. But there is something about the performer who was born Laurence Tureaud that's timeless. Yup, it's probably the Mohawk.

Manually created targeters can store their rule sets in separate
.rules files. If so, you must edit each applicable RuleSetService configuration file to specify the virtual file system that stores the
.rules files, ConfigFileSystem. This also ensures deployment of the
.rules file together with the RuleSetService to the corresponding ConfigFileSystem on the production site.
Note: This step is optional if the rule set is stored in the RuleSetService's
ruleSet property; this is always true for targeters that you create in the Oracle ATG Web Commerce Control Center.
For each targeter that stores its rule set in a separate
.rules file, modify the RuleSetService configuration file as follows:
For example:
The property
rulesFileSystem specifies the VFS that stores the
.rules file, providing the system with a reference to the file via the VFS. This setting ensures the file is exposed properly in the content development environment and is deployed to the correct asset destination, the ConfigFileSystem.

Are your kids as wild and excited about Halloween as mine? Seriously, Abby's been home for about 15 minutes and I just sent them outside to run off some energy they were being so wild in the house with their excitement! Micah's might have to do with the fact that he might have snuck a candy piece or two while I was getting Lexie down for her nap and folding laundry and he was supposed to be having 'quiet time.' This was in addition to the piece he had already had after lunch. Halloween candy is going to get raided for the 'good' stuff and the rest will quickly disappear out of this house that's for sure!
A fellow local blogger posted about these great Halloween restaurant deals - $2 burritos (or bowls) at Chipotle and .50 cent corn dogs at Sonic. Why yes, thank you, I think I'll skip cooking tonight.
I'm extremely late on posting Lexie's 9 month update seeing as she's closer to 10 months now than 9. Whoops! It's been a busy month! At least I have her pictures taken and just waiting to be uploaded, edited and posted. She thinks she such big stuff lately, much and much closer to a toddler than a baby and it makes me sad. She's still little though.
And now a little of what we've been up to the last week or so (ya know if you don't already follow me on instagram)
- Grandma mailed Abby a card, with some money and instructions to buy ice cream for Micah, Lexie and herself. So after my gym workout we headed to Yogurt Zone for
ice creamfrozen yogurt. (So not totally ruining dinner because it's like yogurt right?)
- Mean mommy didn't get any for the baby, she was content to chew on her Sophie.
- The weather has been beautiful lately. Either chilly and I get to break out my boots or just perfect for backyard playing.
- Micah isn't a fan of HEB but he's better than he used to be, as a baby, screaming through HEB most trips. Samples + the HEB buddy machine made it a good trip.
- Alexis was treated to her first taste of the delicious Bergeron's steaks when Gigi and Pops came into town. She was a big fan and gobbled it down.
- Even Lexie is getting into the backyard playing while the weather is nice (and the mosquitos are away) and was all smiles and giggles while swinging.
- My parents came into town over the weekend to celebrate my birthday. I got treated to a weekend of birthday shopping as my present and got some new tops, shoes and workout clothes. I can now pretend I look as stylish as my pinterest clothes board. HA! Getting there. Thanks Mom and Dad! It's much more fun shopping with my mom than browsing alone (with littles in tow no less) And easier to try things on as well. Our Church is fairly casual/come as you are so I wore one of my new tops with jeans and my favorite boots on Sunday.

Three men were sentenced to death on Friday for two gang rapes last year in Mumbai, including an attack on a photojournalist that sparked protests in the city and raised fresh questions about attitudes to women in the world's largest democracy. A Mumbai court on Friday sentenced Vijay Jadhav, Kasim Bengali and Mohammed Salim Ansari to death, the first time capital punishment has been given for rape not involving the death of the victim.
"There was no chance of reformation in these men and this sends a strong signal to society," special prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam told reporters outside the court. Women's safety in India has been under the spotlight since the gang rape and murder of a student on a bus in Delhi in 2012, which provoked nationwide protests and the introduction of tougher sexual assault laws. But a stream of high-profile attacks has raised concerns that little has changed.
In the Mumbai case, four men were convicted last week of gang-raping the photojournalist, who was attacked in the early evening of August 22 while on an assignment with a male colleague at an abandoned textile mill. Three of them were given the death penalty because they had also been found guilty of raping another woman at the same location in July. The fourth man received a life sentence and a juvenile charged for his involvement in the case is being tried separately.
"I think the court has given a distinct, definite and welcome verdict," said Himanshu Roy, joint commissioner of police in Mumbai. The attack on the photojournalist provoked a public outcry partly because Mumbai, India's financial capital and the home of Bollywood, is considered one of the country's safest cities for women. Mahalaxmi, the neighbourhood where the two rapes took place, is a central district close to many new offices and bars.

Football: Peterson forgoes D-I interest for mission work
The most prolific rusher in Douglas High School history will be taking his talents away from the gridiron next year.
Conner Peterson, the 2012 Sierra League Co-Player of the Year, first-team All-Region and second-team All-State running back, recently announced his decision to pursue a unique, albeit familiar, path for his post-high school plans.
Shortly after graduation this spring, the 5-11, 219-pound running back will embark on a two-year mission with the Mormon church. In doing so, Peterson passed on Division I football interest, most notably just up the road from Minden at the University of Nevada.
"It was a hard decision but it was an easy choice," Peterson said. "I knew what I was going to choose it right from the get-go. It's difficult to think about what I am giving up, but it's a case where I'm just going to put my dreams on hold for right now."
Peterson rushed for 1,473 yards and 13 touchdowns this past season, in addition to catching 33 passes for 442 yards and three touchdowns, and playing the majority of Douglas' defensive downs at middle linebacker.
The three-year starter obliterated the school records for career rushing yards (perviously 2,577) and career touchdowns (previously 32), finishing with 3,883 and 42 respectively.
For his career, he averaged nearly 6.09 yards per carry.
He fielded interest from schools like San Diego State and Idaho, but received the most attention from Nevada, who invited him for a visit in November when the Wolf Pack hosted Boise State.
Peterson said he had hoped he would be able to catch on with a school, practice with the team for a year and then depart for his mission before returning to complete his career, much like his older brother – Jake – was able to do as a linebacker at the University of Pennsylvania.
Such an offer didn't materialize for Conner at the Division I level.
"It's a big commitment for a Division I school, because that scholarship is unavailable the entire time you're away," Peterson said.
Instead, he is set to leave directly after graduation. He said having the example of his older brothers (Aside from Jake, Brock Peterson was a standout running back at Douglas who left Linfield College for his mission in Siberia) helped in his decision, but that he had desired to take this course from the outset.
"I had the desire to do this myself," Peterson said. "But, it was nice having my brothers set that example just as an encouragement in making the decision."
Peterson, a bruising runner with deceptive speed, said his plan is to maintain his conditioning as much as possible while he is away and then take a crack at college football.
"Missionaries are required to work out every day," Peterson said. "So there will be chances to keep my strength up. Then I get one free day a week where I can get in workouts. I don't know where I will be yet. There may not be weights where I end up, so it might be a matter of finding a log or something and getting my work done that way."
He said coaches from San Diego State and San Jose State said he should get in touch when he returns.
"There's a chance they'd want to look at me then, see if I am still in shape," Peterson said. "I'll work toward that and see if I can land a scholarship then."
Peterson's father, Clay –who played quarterback for Douglas and later defensive end for BYU – said his hope is that a college coach will take a chance on the intangibles Conner could bring back.
"He'll be a 21-year-old freshman," Clay Peterson said. "Hopefully coaches will be able to see a maturity there. Hopefully someone takes a flier on him and they end up getting a bargain."
National Signing Day, which is Wednesday, will be quiet across Carson Valley, despite Douglas producing a trio of the most potent offensive weapons in school history this season.
Quarterback Michael Nolting, who broke every school passing mark during his two years at the helm of the Tiger offense, is fielding interest from a number of NCAA Division II and III schools.
The 5-11, 180-pound senior threw for 2,504 yards and 23 touchdowns while completing 72 percent of his passes this season. He completed his career having completed 399 passes for 5,276 yards and 48 touchdowns. He also rushed for 941 yards and 13 touchdowns with an average of 4.3 yards per carry.
Presently, Nolting said Division II Black Hills State in South Dakota is at the front of the pack but that a number of Division III coaches have contacted him in the last week, including Occidental, Puget Sound, Montana Western and Whitworth in Spokane, Wa.
"This is just the start of their recruiting period," Nolting said. "They kind of wait to see what players are still available as Signing Day approaches and then they start making contacts.
"I've been hearing from a new school about every two days. It's been a process of researching these schools and seeing where they are and what they are about. My goal is to play at the highest level that is available to me and do my best there."
So far, the interest has been exclusively for him to play quarterback, although he did start admirably as a free safety for the Tigers this past season.
Douglas wide receiver Dusty Fisher, who set single season school marks in receiving yardage (1,167), catches (65) and touchdown catches (15) has contacted some Division I programs about walking on next season, but will have to wait until after signing day to see if an invitation materializes.
At 6-2, 173 pounds with solid speed and good hands, the first-team all-state selection will likely find a spot to play. It will just be a matter of where.
Douglas placekicker Connor Greth, who was 3-for-3 on field goals as a senior and booted a game-winning 26 yarder against Carson, will attend Montana Western next year.
Douglas coach Ernie Monfiletto said he has a number of players attempting to play at the junior college level next year as well, although nothing has been set with them yet.

Mets down Braves in extras
Atlanta, GA – David Wright kept the Mets alive with a game- tying solo homer off Atlanta closer Craig Kimbrel, and New York rallied for two runs in the 10th to take a 7-5 victory over the Braves at Turner Field.
Ruben Tejada delivered the go-ahead hit with runners on first and second, spraying a single off Jordan Walden (1-1) into center to score pinch-hitter Jordany Valdespin, who reached with a walk and then stole second base.
Daniel Murphy added an insurance run with a liner up the middle and Jeurys Familia locked down his first major league save with a 1-2-3 10th inning, sending the Mets to a second straight win on the heels of a six-game slide.
Bobby Parnell (2-0), one of seven Mets pitchers used on Friday, got the final two outs of the ninth after Brandon Lyon allowed a runner to reach third base. John Buck stroked a two-run homer and Lucas Duda and Marlon Byrd each added solo shots in the victory.
Evan Gattis hit a solo homer and Andrelton Simmons drove in a pair for the suddenly struggling Braves, losers in seven of their last nine games.
Justin Upton had a sacrifice fly and Juan Francisco drove in a run, but left the game in the third inning with a sprained ankle.
Gattis had struck out his first three at bats, but sent the Braves in front, 5-4, in the eighth with a solo blast into center field.
The almost always automatic Kimbrel came on to finish it off in the ninth, but gave up his first home run of the season when Wright lifted his 97 m.p.h. heater over the center field wall to knot the score at 5-5.
"Against him its just close your eyes, swing hard and hope you hit," said Wright. "He's as dominant as anyone in the game, so really you just got to hope that he makes a mistake or you really don't have much of a chance."
"Captain America? We expect it, we expect it everyday," said Byrd of his teammate Wright. "Its unbelieveable how he comes through. Seems like every single day we jump on his back and he pulls through all the time."
New York held the early advantage, with Buck driving his 10th home run of the season into the left field seats in the first, and Duda planted one in the same spot the following inning to stake the Mets to a 3-0 lead.
It was a rough start for Atlanta starter Mike Minor, but he would settle down from there and retire the final 18 batters he faced. He lasted seven innings and struck out four, allowing just three hits.
"Yeah, I struggled pretty bad early on, just trying to find location," said Minor. "After that I just thought of battling with the fastball and trying to challenge those guys."
B.J. Upton helped Atlanta get on the board in the third, leading off the frame with a double and scoring on a base hit from Francisco. Francisco, though, left shortly after when he turned his ankle just before getting picked off second base.
Mets starter Shaun Marcum failed to get through the fifth inning, exiting after giving up an RBI single to Simmons with the bases loaded. LaTroy Hawkins then took the mound and gave up Justin Upton's sac fly to make it 3-3, but struck out Freddie Freeman to avoid further damage.
The Braves then took their first lead, 4-3, two innings later when Ramiro Pena led off the seventh with a walk, advanced on Tyler Pastornicky's sac bunt, took third on a wild pitch from Scott Atchison and then came home on Simmons' groundout.
New York took advantage as soon as Minor was lifted, with Byrd launching his second homer of the season to lead off the eighth, knotting the score at 4-4.
Game Notes
Marcum surrendered three runs on six hits in 4 1/3 innings ... Mets Opening Day outfielder Collin Cowgill was sent to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday. Andrew Brown was promoted and got his first start of the season in right field, but finished 0-for-3 at the plate ... The Mets recorded consecutive wins for the first time since April 12-13 ... B.J. Upton went 2-for-4 ... The Braves were 2-for-7 with runners in scoring position.
