FORT WORTH, Texas (BP) -- Paige Patterson has clarified his view on domestic violence and voiced regret "that the way I expressed that conviction has brought hurt."
Patterson, president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, issued a written statement Sunday (April 29) amid discussion on social media of an audio clip from 2000 in which he said the proper response of a wife to domestic abuse "depends on the level of abuse to some degree." Read More
Army chaplain fights charge of unlawful discrimination
by Diana Chandler, posted Wednesday, April 18, 2018 (one year ago)
WASHINGTON (BP) -- Southern Baptist chaplain Jerry Scott Squires is fighting a U.S. Army investigator's charge of unlawful discrimination for refusing to preside over a marriage retreat including same-sex couples.
But Squires followed federal law and Army and Southern Baptist Convention chaplaincy protocol when he rescheduled a Feb. 9 Strong Bonds marriage retreat in order to involve a non-SBC chaplain, thereby accommodating the attendance of a lesbian couple, First Liberty Institute said in an April 17 letter to the Army in Squires' defense.

ARLINGTON, Va. (BP) -- A U.S. Air Force colonel and devout Christian suspended and denied promotion after refusing to affirm same-sex marriage has won a legal appeal to reverse the disciplinary actions against him.
Col. Leland Bohannon was restored today (April 3) to his military position and good standing, the Air Force Review Boards Agency announced Monday. Before Bohannon was disciplined in August 2017 for refusing to sign a certificate of spouse appreciation for a retiring officer in a same-sex marriage, Bohannon was due a promotion to brigadier general.

Child marriage on chopping block in some U.S. states
by Diana Chandler, posted Wednesday, March 14, 2018 (one year ago)
NASHVILLE (BP) -- An 11-year-old rape victim in Florida, a 14-year-old ninth-grader in Texas, a sexually abused 16-year-old in Kentucky. They are among thousands of girls forced to marry adult men in the past 50 years under laws permitting such unions in most U.S. states.
"This is not about me. I survived," 55-year-old Sherry Johnson told CBS news when Florida passed a bill March 9 limiting marriage to those 17 and older. Raped at age 9 and a biological mother at age 10, she was 11 when her own birth mother forced her to marry a man in his 20s, simply by getting a judge's approval. Read More
FIRST-PERSON: Not just a ring -- a choice for the King
by Peter J. Link Jr., posted Thursday, February 15, 2018 (one year ago)
Marriage, Peter Link notes, is a critical choice that defines a person's relationship to God. Couples must connect their lives to "a growing affection for God, because the chief end of Christian marriage is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever," Link writes. Read More

HAMILTON, Bermuda (BP) -- The Bermuda Legislature has outlawed same-sex marriage only months after the Bermuda Supreme Court approved such unions there, making the island the first nation to reverse gay marriage.
The Bermuda Legislature approved the Domestic Partnership Act after a public referendum in favor of traditional marriage, effectively reversing the Bermuda Supreme Court ruling of May, 2017. Bermuda Gov. John Rankin signed the act into law Feb. 7. Read More
Same-sex couples fight citizenship battle

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (BP) -- Two same-sex couples filed lawsuits last week against the U.S. State Department, arguing it unlawfully discriminated against them by denying their children U.S. citizenship.
The cases join a host of others involving reproductive technology and same-sex parenting working their way through the U.S. court system. Since the Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell decision declaring same-sex marriage a constitutional right, LGBT advocates have been pushing back against laws that uphold the biological reality that every child is the genetic offspring of just one man and one woman ...

DALLAS (BP) -- An unexpected deluge of volunteers in response to a Dallas middle school's call for male mentors has sparked media attention. It also has generated discussion of the need for discipleship of African American boys, robbed of fathers by the lingering effects of slavery.
When Billy Earl Dade Middle School in Dallas scheduled a "Breakfast With Dads" event for the boys in its student body, a local Baptist pastor attempted to help, issuing a call via Facebook for volunteers to stand in with students whose fathers were absent from their lives or unable to attend. Though the school -- which is predominantly African American -- hoped for 50-100 volunteers, some 600 men showed up at the breakfast. Read More

WASHINGTON (BP) -- Christian wedding vendors who decline to provide services for same-sex ceremonies have suffered another legal setback.
The Oregon Court of Appeals ruled Dec. 28 that the state did not violate the First Amendment rights of Aaron and Melissa Klein in a 2015 order that included a $135,000 fine. The three-judge panel upheld a decision by the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) that found the Kleins' refusal to design and bake a cake for a lesbian couple's commitment ceremony was based on unlawful discrimination against homosexuals.

Gay marriage legalized in Australia & Austria

CANBERRA, Australia (BP) -- Australia's Parliament legalized same-sex marriage today (Dec. 7), following a court ruling doing the same in Austria two days earlier, the Associated Press reported.
Churches and religious organizations in Australia are allowed under the new law to boycott gay weddings without violating existing anti-discrimination mandates, the AP said. The Australian Parliament overwhelmingly approved gay marriage following a nationwide postal ballot that drew approval from 62 percent of voters Oct. 27.
The countries join at least 25 other nations where the practice was legalized as early as 2000, according to Pew Research tallied through August. Read More

Palace congratulates Filipina lifter for silver medal finish in Rio Olympics
MANILA -– Malacañang on Monday joined the Filipino nation in congratulating President Rodrigo Duterte's fellow Mindanaoan Hidilyn Diaz for ending the Philippines' 20-year medal drought in Olympics in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.
"On behalf of a proud nation, we congratulate Hidilyn Diaz for winning the Philippines' first medal in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games," Presidential Communications Operations (PCO) Secretary Martin Andanar said in a press statement.
Diaz, a native of Zamboanga City, won her silver medal in the women's 58kg class event which won by Chinese Hsu Shu-ching of Chinese Taipei via a record-breaking fashion.
Presidential Spokesman Ernesto Abella said President Duterte is honored and proud of Diaz's first Olympic medal after two straight field attempts.
"We extend our sincerest congratulations and celebrate the end of the medal drought. Truly change has come," Abella said.
Before leaving for Rio Oympics, President Duterte inspired the 12-athlete Philippine team by increasing their allowance from USD1,000 to USD3,000 while from USD3,000 to USD 5,000 to officials.
Andanar said the story of Diaz is the story of Filipinos who brave life's difficulties to excel in their respective endeavors even in the international arena of the world's best competitors.
"Hers is about overcoming shyness but for an inspired nation, her road to Rio is a journey of grit, patience and determination which ended a 20-year long medal drought for the Philippines. Congratulations, Hidilyn, our first Olympic medalist from Mindanao," Andanar said.
The last time the Philippines won its first medal was in 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games where boxer Mansueto "Onyok" Velasco won the country's second silver medal.
The country's first ever silver medal was won by another boxer, Anthony Villanueva, in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
The Philippines has yet to win its Olympic gold medal since it joined the world's most prestigious sports event in 1924.
With her inspiring performance, Diaz will receive PHP5 million cash incentives based on the newly-enacted Republic Act No. 10699 which expanded the coverage of incentives granted to national athletes and coaches. Jelly Musico/PNA/northboundasia.com

Aerosmith's Steven Tyler: Joe Perry Has Gone 'Missing'
Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has said he wants to start working on a new album but that he can't locate guitarist Joe Perry.
The singer, who has endured an acrimonious relationship with Perry in recent years, is currently trying to bring the band back together.
"We're having trouble getting Joe [Perry]," Tyler told Rolling Stone.
"I don't know where he is, but just come down to LA at the end of January sometime. I've had enough downtime."
The singer went on to accuse Perry of suffering from "LSD – Lead Strummer Disorder".
In November, drummer Joey Kramer said the group were "destined" to record another album and that it would be a return to their classic rock sound.
Tyler was recently unveiled as a judge on the upcoming series of American Idol.

The Prescription (Scotland) Act 2018
Graham Weatherston
The team are delighted to have Graham Weatherston recently join. Graham is a solicitor advocate with rights of audience in the higher civil courts 2004. He has worked in civil litigation throughout his legal career with experience in most areas of contentious civil work.
Graham reviews the current position on Prescription (Scotland) Act 2018 which received Royal Assent on 18 December 2018. On its unanimous passing by the Scottish Parliament on 8 November 2018, the Communities Safety Minister Ash Denham observed, 'These changes will increase clarity, certainty and fairness, and benefit persons or bodies in resolving disputes.'
Well over a year later, the majority of the legislation remains unimplemented. It is understood that a particular problem is in the drafting of transitional provisions as the new law replaces the existing legislation. There are significant differences between the new Act and existing legislation under the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973 and how that has been applied in recent years by the courts.
The journey through the courts
Problems in relation to interpreting when and how time limits are to be applied to potential claims are nothing new. The Scottish Law Commission had highlighted ambiguities in the interpretation of section 11(3) of the 1973 Act 25 years before the Supreme Court issued its judgment in David T Morrison & Co. Ltd v. ICL Plastics Ltd [2014] UKSC 48, 2014 SC (UKSC) 222, 2014 SLT 791, 2014 SCLR 711 as noted by Lord Hodge in his dissenting opinion in that case. Morrison effectively overturned 30 years of Scottish decisions including the unanimous judgment of the Inner House in the instant case in its understanding that, not only did there require to be an awareness that a claimant had sustained a loss for the prescriptive time period to commence, but '…section 11(3) can be relied upon to defer the start of the five-year prescriptive period to the date when a pursuer first becomes aware that the loss and damage which he has suffered was caused by negligence.' The Scottish Law Commission's subsequent 2017 Report on Prescription which preceded the 2018 Act was partly prompted by Morrison. In the meantime the, if anything, even more controversial (although, unlike Morrison, an unanimous judgment of the Supreme Court) Gordon's Trustees v. Campbell Riddell Breeze Paterson LLP [2017] UKSC 75, 2017 SLT 1287, 2018 SCLR 129 was determined. It highlighted that applying Morrison could create outcomes which seem, as Lord Hodge observed in Gordon's Trustees, 'harsh' for creditors in cases where there might be uncertainty as to when a loss had been sustained. Anyone involved in professional indemnity insurance cases would recognise that the question of when, objectively, a claimant could become aware they had sustained an actionable loss rarely involves as clear-cut an event as, in the case of Morrison, a catastrophic explosion at a factory.
Since Morrison, Gordon's Trustees, and indeed the passage of the 2018 Act there have been a number of decisions at first instance and at appellate level by the Scottish courts confirming that 'harsh' outcomes for creditors not immediately aware that they may have sustained loss are becoming the norm in the application of the 1973 Act.
In Midlothian Council v. Raeburn Drilling and Geotechnical Ltd [2019] CSOH 29, 2019 SLT 1327, Lord Doherty noted section 11(3) of the 1973 Act:
' undoubtedly has a narrower ambit than was thought to be the case before Morrison and Gordon's Trustees were decided.'
For anyone seeking to invoke it he did add, 'However it is not redundant. There are circumstances where it does postpone the commencement of the prescriptive period…' but he did not provide specific examples: '…in my view it is not necessary in this case to express views on scenarios different from the one before me. I think it preferable that guidance in relation to each such scenario is given in a case where it forms a necessary part of the court's decision, and where the court has heard full submissions in relation to it.'
The 2018 Act seeks to clarify the existing situation by including in the application of section 11(3) of the 1973 Act three 'facts' of which an otherwise unaware claimant who has suffered loss by the act or omission of another must become aware prior to the prescriptive period commencing in relation to any obligation to make reparation:
'(a) that loss, injury or damage has occurred,
(b) that the loss, injury or damage was caused by a person's act or omission, and
(c) the identity of that person.'
It is immaterial whether the creditor is aware that the act or omission is actionable in law. As can be seen, the 'discoverability test' substantially swings back the balance of parties' interests towards the creditor from where the current 'harsh' application of prescriptive time limits has reached since Morrison. It is notable that it was not previously a feature of Scots law that the commencement of a prescriptive period is postponed until one can identify whose act or omission caused one loss. As with the other provisions of the 2018 Act, however, which include for the first time recognition that it is possible to contract out for a period from the operation of prescriptive time limits in certain circumstances; clarification as to the commencement of and effect of the 20-year year prescriptive period so it functions 'as a long stop'; and the introduction of an express burden of proof to be borne by any creditor arguing that their right of obligation has not expired under prescriptive time limits, it is currently entirely unclear when any of these changes to the law are going to be implemented nor how the interests of creditors and debtors are to be weighed one against the other in the transition period from the law as it stands to the new legislation. The 'clarity, certainty and fairness, and benefit to persons or bodies in resolving disputes' to be ushered in by the 2018 Act continue to elude us for the time being.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is unlikely to have been Lara's final outing
The Tomb Raider trilogy that began in 2013 and came to an end with last year's Shadow of the Tomb Raider might be over, but Lara will probably return for another adventure. In an interview with USGamer, the most recent game's producer, Jonathan Dahan, said that he doesn't expect the franchise to come to an end just yet.
Dahan said that "I'd be extremely surprised if we didn't see more of [Tomb Raider]. We're not able to say anything about what's happening next, but I'd be very surprised if we didn't hear more about the franchise," which definitely makes it sound like something is happening, albeit behind closed doors.
It's probably fair to say that this isn't the last we'll see of Lara in some form or another. The character is one of the most easily recognisable videogame characters in the world, and the franchise has been running for more than 20 years, with 18 Croft-focused games and three films under its belt. Even if she requires a(nother) reboot, I reckon Lara will probably be back.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider's physical sales weren't as good as its predecessors', but Eidos Montreal has recently said that it's "super happy" with the game's reception, which could incentivise them to produce a new game.
That said, however, the voice actress behind Lara's three most recent outings doesn't know if she'll reprise the role, and that she thought Shadow "would be my last journey with Lara."
Read more: Here's our list of the best PC games
Given that much of Shadow of the Tomb Raider's DLC has only arrived in the past few months, it's unlikely that Eidos Montreal has spent much time working on anything that's not linked to that game. With that in mind, I wouldn't hold your breath for a new announcement any time soon.

The molecular characterization of the parasitoid, Blaesoxipha rufipes was studied for the first time using cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and the ribosomal 12S genes to assist with species identification. Parasitoid samples were collected from five localities to examine the molecular variability of B. rufipes in western Saudi Arabia. The partial 12S and COI sequences were investigated using two analytical methods (maximum-parsimony and neighbor-joining). The A, C, G and T base compositions were 37.9%, 10.6%, 14.5% and 37%, respectively, for the 12S genes, and 27.9%, 17.5%, 16.8% and 37.8%, respectively, for the COI genes. The pairwise genetic distances (D) among the studied populations ranged from 0.006 to 0.012 in the 12S gene and from 0.002 to 0.05 in COI gene. The sequence of COI showed 97 base substitutions among and within the populations. Of these substitutions, only one amino acid changed at position 189. The array of amino acid sequences resembles the sequences of previously studied species of Blaesoxipha. Consequently, it could be concluded that the studied populations of B. rufipes showed low genetic variability, indicating that fragmentation and/or other ecological factors have some impact on them.

to stopping ALS progression
Working to transform inflammatory macrophages
to control the progression of
motor neuron damage
A potential new treatment for ALS that could help patients who are non-responsive to current therapy options
Neuvivo is dedicated to creating therapeutics for the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and other neurodegenerative diseases. We are investigating a patented macrophage-targeted technology, NP001, designed to address chronic inflammation, a key factor in the progressive loss of motor function in ALS.
To date, the treatment has received Orphan Drug and Fast Track designation by the FDA as it addresses a clear unmet medical need. We are diligently working to move this compound toward regulatory approval, with the goal of delivering an effective new treatment to reduce the suffering caused by ALS.
Targeting inflammatory macrophages with the goal of returning them to a non-inflammatory state
ALS is a neurological disorder that causes the loss of motor neurons and results in progressively debilitating muscle weakness. There is an emerging consensus that ALS disease progression is associated with systemic inflammation and abnormal inflammatory macrophage/microglia activity within affected spinal cord and brain regions. Macrophages are white blood cells, critical for wound healing, clearance of bacteria, and resolution of inflammation. In one state (M1), macrophages are toxic, producing inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α) and other proinflammatory factors. In a second state (M2), macrophages are neuroprotective and associated with the reversal of inflammation and the suppression of uncontrolled immune responses. In ALS, the appearance of new M1 macrophages in the spinal cord indicates disease progression.
Microglia are a type of macrophage located throughout the brain and spinal cord, accounting for 10-15% of all cells found within the brain.
They are a subset of macrophage cells and act as the first and main form of active immune defense in the central nervous system (CNS). Microglial inflammatory activation has been observed consistently in association with degenerating upper and lower motor neurons.
Neuvivo's investigational therapeutic, NP001, is a small molecule which, through a series of biochemical interactions in the body, is converted to a compound that can transform inflammatory macrophages (M1) to the non-inflammatory, wound healing state (M2), with the goal of stopping damage to motor neurons.
Current research points to compromised macrophage function as a critical factor in many other CNS diseases, such as Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease, suggesting that NP001 may potentially have a role in addressing a range of CNS diseases.
Implications for patients living with ALS
ALS is a neurological disorder that causes the loss of motor neurons with grave consequences for the patient. There are approximately 40,000-50,000 people living with ALS in the US and Europe. There are just two active ingredients currently approved to treat the disease, but both have limitations.
Neuvivo has developed NP001, a proprietary small molecule investigational therapeutic that in clinical trials has shown an ability to slow the progression of the disease in patients age 40-65. Clinical trials* of NP001 to date have not suggested any drug-related serious adverse events.
Neuvivo is working closely with leading ALS clinicians, researchers, and regulatory authorities to develop an effective and safe treatment for people living with ALS – as efficiently as possible.

NP001 has gained Orphan Drug and Fast Track Status from the FDA
Neuvivo has completed two Phase 2 trials, providing data demonstrating NP001's potential to slow the progression of ALS and to protect motor neurons. To date, the trials have not suggested any drug-related serious adverse events.
Neuvivo is now in a position to initiate Phase 2 studies in Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease and Vascular Dementia.
NP001 has strong IP protection. 8 patents have been issued in the US and ROW with protection extending through 2042. Additional patents have been filed.
Early patents relating to the technology are under license from the University of California, San Francisco.

Interaction Design as Mediation
During my Master research, I looked for alternative views on Interaction Design that went further than User Interface Design. Most definitions say that the former is broader than the later, but they didn't provide clear objects to work with. David Malouf did a good job on extending Dan Saffer's elements, but his foundations looks still strongly tied to User Interface. I was looking for something more in between people and technology, like Löwgren's use qualities, but with practical obvious applications. I wanted something that could be used both in macro and micro scales. I finally came up with this model:
It has a lot of different perspectives packed into one. This is a model that I built and refined for myself. I don't know if it's useful for anyone other than me. For those who are interested, I'll tell how it begun.
From my earlier Communications Bachelor, I brought an author that argued that Media Studies should stop studying media mechanisms and start understanding how people communicate in real life, which eventually find it's way through media. Jesus Martín-Barbero called that mediations. He stressed that message's production and reception should be taken together.
After reading other authors in Interaction Design, I realized that this turn to practice that Martín-Barbero was pushing on Media Studies was happening also in Interaction Design. Dissatisfied with the explanatory potential of mentalist cognitive theories, some researchers starting exploring more socially oriented theories.
Research / design gap
Among those theories, I became fascinated with Activity Theory, but I could not find a good link with design practice, which still holds true. Acting with Technology is a nice book, but there are no examples on how to use the study of an activity as an input for design. How do you create something relevant based on that?
Coming back to the mentalist cognitive studies, I realized that this gap between research analysis and design synthesis was also present there. There were more attempts to bridge the gap, but they felt under an over-formalism (like GOMS) that made it unfeasible for real design situations, where requirements change all the time.
Reflecting on my own work as a practitioner, I realized that I used both theories, adopting it's concepts when appropriate for project's situation. Interaction Design, in my point of view, mediates theory and practice, Science and Art, freedom and control, and whatever opposing concepts it faces. Because it's concerned with relationships it can't stay in just one side.
Mediating conflicts
But, if you are in the middle of opposing forces you need to do something about it. You can't be neutral and you can't choose one side. What's expected from Interaction Design is that it helps the dialectical synthesis of the opposing forces.
Change must come, and it will spread in both sides. New behaviors come from new technologies as much as new technologies come from new behaviors, but rarely both sides are synchronized. That's the origin of conflicts such as deskilling, planned obsolescence, hacking, and many others.
But how do Interaction Design deal with conflict? Well, of course it relies on common strategies for that, like compromise, consensus building, propaganda. But, the specificity is that Interaction Design must give a form to it, or better, a platform. Interaction Design provides dynamic platforms for conflict negotiation because conflicts never ends, they just move.
The platform offer context for people and technology to orient themselves during the negotiation. It's a kind of ephemeral space (or interspace in Winograd words) where intentions turn to expressions and potentials into possibilities. The synthesis depends on the analysis of both, but not in a linear fashion. Analysis evolves with synthesis and vice versa.
The Facebook Like button
Let me give a quick example. Elements from the model are bolded.
The Facebook Like button was created for easing the task of sharing URLs with someone you care. The flow involved copying and pasting the URL to an email, defining recipients and providing email subject and optionally a description. Each step involved dealing with a plethora of different controls that were unrelated to the task like, for instance, webmail login forms. That flow conflicted with the sharing task because the task started unexpectedly inside another activity, which was not oriented towards link-sharing, and represented a possible distraction for it.
Then came the Facebook Lite button. It transformed that clumsy flow into a single control and a task into a simple operation. The Facebook button afforded sharing with a single click. The conflict is gone. But the story didn't end up here. Because it became so easy, people started to do the sharing task much more than previously. For some people, the task turned into an activity in itself.
Being "liked" and "liking" turned into common verbs among Internet users. But users wanted to share webpages that didn't included the button into their code yet. So, webpage owners were pressed to change their webpages to include the button, even tough it didn't suit their layouts. The environment changed.
Facebook offered a new widget that showed who among your friends clicked that button. Then, people's behavior started to change on a macro scale. Users weren't willing to share just because it became easier, but because they wanted to be part of a group. Navigating the web became a public social activity, with it's potentially unanticipated consequences.
Reflecting on it's consequences, people started to question why do Facebook provide only a Like button and not a "Don't like" button. In fact, a guy hacked Facebook to provide such button. Later, Facebook added a reticent Unlike button. But, the underlying algorithms for distributing "likes" amongst friends kept improving, operating under the behavior assumption that people want to see more of what they like. Eli Pariser denounced that this kind of adaptation is creating filter bubbles, where people think they have all information available, but in fact they just have a small portion of it.
The discussion about such interface could go on and on, but what I'm emphasizing here is that a single level analysis/synthesis is not enough to deal with it's complexity. Interface is not just about affordances, but also about genres changing over time. The Facebook Like button mediates the transition from web to social web, from gatekeeper media to algorithm media, from an utilitarian society to a hedonic society.
How to (perhaps not) use the model
For the example above, I used the model to describe something that happened without the model, but if you're interested on taking the model as normative, or in other words, to design based on it, I have some words of caution.
The model can be used as a guide to a linear process like that:
The isonomy between categories on every step could provide straightforward transition between project phases, but that's not the way I use it.
If I take the model as a departure point or as a result of the design process, I risk seeing only what's in the model. Then, I'm not open anymore to change the model. Each project situation offer new opportunities for insight and criticism. I redesigned this model many times and I hope I'll continue doing so.
The model I described here is just an attempt to describe how do I see the transition from research findings to design proposals, back and forth. I believe strongly that each designer must design their own way of working. I design my model based both on project experiences and reading experiences. I share it in hope that it could help with the former, but the later is fundamental.
Here are some readings that I can remember right now that I drew some concepts from:
Interface from Edmund Leach; Steven Johnson
Activities, actions, operations from Kaptelinin & Nardi
Activities, objects and environment from Brown & Duguid
Genres from Martín-Barbero; Spinuzzi; Brown & Duguid
Tasks, goals and flows from Alan Cooper; Hackos & Redish
Affordances from Norman; Gibson

Research in the economics of education suggests that the financial payoff of education occurs through a mix of human capital acquisition and signaling: by taking a given course, people signal both their pre-existing abilities and the fact that they have acquired knowledge in courses. This also means that much of the high cost of college courses is due to the signaling benefits of getting a grade at the end of it that can be used towards degree completion.
What if you do want to take a course, but don't need a grade and don't need it for your degree? You may find the price tag too exorbitant. Fortunately, there's an alternative: sitting in, or auditing, the course.
People who are not enrolled or affiliated with a college or university sitting in on classes there.
People who are affiliated with a university in one capacity sitting in on classes intended for a different audience. For instance, a mathematics graduate student sitting in on an economics course of no relevance to his/her research.
People auditing courses in their area of interest.
2.2 Do college administrators care?
3.1 Getting something without paying for it?
Auditing is a time-intensive and resource-intensive option compared to others, such as using opencourseware or massive online open courses. But it has many of the advantages of face-to-face courses, including real, live, in-person interaction and the opportunity to connect and network directly with peers and instructors.
The main way that auditing differs from a credit course is that it is hard to get feedback in the form of grades, but auditors may still be allowed access to tests and may be able to self-evaluate. In some cases, professors may be willing to informally assign grades to auditors.
Instructors are generally happy, or at worst neutral, rather than sad, to have people sit in on their classes. They will rarely forbid or punish such behavior.
Instructors may not like it if you audit their classes without telling them clearly. So, it is best to introduce yourself and explain that you are auditing the course. Explaining your reasons (including your liking for the instructor and subject) might help.
If the room allocated to the lecture is packed to capacity, then the instructor may not permit auditing, or may be hostile to it. Therefore, when auditing, make sure that there is enough capacity in the room and that you are not inconveniencing people who signed up for the class.
If you take up the instructor's time or resources at a personal level (for instance, using office hours a lot or submitting homeworks), the instructor may not like that. On the other hand, some instructors may appreciate your genuine interest in learning (to contrast with students who are in the class because they have to take it). You want to get the upside without generating hostile reactions. It would thus be best to preface any request for help or grading feedback with "I know I'm auditing the course, so I'm not entitled to assistance per se, but I'd like some help on this. Would you be willing?" Also, show the instructor that you are putting in adequate effort. With students who are enrolled, instructors have an obligation (of sorts) to help them. As an auditor, you have no right to make demands, so you need to be particularly careful to impress the instructor of your dedication if you are seeking personalized help.
Instructors may not like it if you participate too much in class or steal the thunder from the students who are paying for the course. On the other hand, they may like it. if they're providing in-class opportunities to students, you may get lower priority as an auditor. Don't complain about getting lower priority, and check with the instructor if your class participation is okay.
With these caveats, instructurs are generally happy with accommodating auditors.
To Learn or Credential? by Robin Hanson, where he writes: "As a researcher at NASA Ames Lab in the late 1980s, I found it easy to sit in on classes at nearby Stanford. I sat in on many classes in many departments, participating often in class discussions. I never applied for admission, or paid tuition, but no one ever complained. One professor even wrote me a letter of recommendation based on my work for his class."
Get the Best Education in the World, Absolutely Free! by Bryan Caplan quotes and agrees with Hanson.
Can I Sit In? by Bryan Caplan, a follow-up.
College and university administrators often encourage prospective students to sit in on classes as a way of gauging the university experience. Therefore, any objections they have to auditing are not categorical.
In general, they have better things to do than scoop out auditing.
The most relevant concerns of college and university administrators would include room overcrowding and untrustworthy non-students hanging around university buildings. As long as you can convince any administrators or college police that you're trustworthy and legitimate, you should be fine.
Getting something without paying for it?
Assuming that the course you are sitting in on does not have an overfull room, and assuming you do not try to encroach on the instructor's attention, you are not using resources at the margin.
In some cases, your participation in class discussions can add value to the instructor and other students.
In any case, a lot of higher education involves a complicated system of cross-subsidies between different parts.
Auditing courses may work at the margin, but obviously if too many people decided to do this, the situation would be unsustainable.
Many college courses simply aren't worth sitting in on.
The college courses that are most likely to be of use to people genuinely interested in the subject don't always coincide with the most popular ones, often due to their difficulty. So they should have ample capacity for people to sit in.
There are also geographic restrictions on who can sit in on courses. So it's highly unlikely that large numbers of non-students will turn up physically at a popular course.

The High Sheriff of Down is the Sovereign's judicial representative in County Down. Initially an office for lifetime, assigned by the Sovereign, the High Sheriff became annually appointed from the Provisions of Oxford in 1258. Besides his judicial importance, he has ceremonial and administrative functions and executes High Court Writs.

History
The first (High) Shrivalties were established before the Norman Conquest in 1066 and date back to Saxon times. In 1908, an Order in Council made the Lord-Lieutenant the Sovereign's prime representative in a county and reduced the High Sheriff's precedence. Despite however that the office retains his responsibilities for the preservation of law and order in a county.

While the office of High Sheriff ceased to exist in those Irish counties, which had formed the Irish Free State in 1922, it is still present in the counties of Northern Ireland.

Mentors and how have they assisted you in your career: I have worked with so many great individuals in the last 15 years; it's hard to single out any one mentor. Anybody who can prosper in the food industry by adapting to change in a positive way is a mentor to me.
What are you most proud of in your career achievements? My entire career has been in the food industry. I became a buyer at 18 years old and progressed rather rapidly in the last 15 years. The struggles I encountered as a young female made me a stronger person and I am proud of the reputation I have built in the industry.
Do you have a defining moment of your career to date? There hasn't been a particular moment or event per say, but in each position I have held in my career, there has been a sequence of events that are intangible, that culminates an unspoken confidence that Leadership has in my performance.
Most challenging part of your job: The most challenging part of my job is explaining that change is a necessary catalyst to improvement and growth and no one has ever said that change is easy.
Advice for upcoming younger executives: Never assume you know "everything" about the firm and/or industry that you are a part of, be a student of the business. In the food industry positions come and go, companies come and go – regardless of circumstance, maintain your integrity, protect your name, and do the right thing.
Hobbies: Spending time with family and friends, painting and cycling.

Das sog. Münchhausen-Haus im Weimarer Stadtteil Oberweimar liegt in der Mittelstraße 9 16/Ecke Ilmstraße unweit des Ilmparks gegenüber des Bienenmuseums.

Die Fassaden sind mit reichen Ornamentfeldern geschmückt. Auch die Dachtraufe ist mit holzgeschnitzten Ornamenten reich verziert. Ein Tondo zeigt eine Szene, die möglicherweise auf Gottfried August Bürgers Geschichten des Baron Münchhausen Bezug nehmen. Wahrscheinlicher als Namensgeber ist der kaiserliche Konsul Thankmar von Münchhausen (1835–1909), dem Besitzer dieses Hauses. Dieses Gebäude ist aus dem 19. Jahrhundert und bedient sich einer klassizistischen Formensprache in der Art des Biedermeier. Der streng symmetrisch gegliederte Bau mit dreieckigem Dachgiebel und Balkon an der Längsseite wird u. a. als Bürogebäude genutzt.

Das Münchhausen-Haus in Oberweimar steht auf der Liste der Kulturdenkmale in Weimar (Ortsteile).

We could not understand the mystery of the evil which still lingered. We were determined to uncover its source. Soon, we learned that the entire school was controlled by a head witch. Huge networks of lesser witches covered the whole world.
They were monitoring us and pursued hot after us. My friend and I became much attached although her parents feared. We decided to complete the operation to destroy the entire network.
The following morning, in a Spirit dream, the tokolorsie determined to strike once again. I saw my grandmother as she collapsed in a total blackout. Mom was present to help her.
Once again in a vision upon my bed, the whole earth shook violently. Buildings crumbled, everything was blown by the fierceness of an unknown force. Out of the center of the earth, a powerful evil spirit made its way up. He was designed in such a way that every cell in his form was perfected. He possessed all the powers of his former type. This type was created for total destruction, thought impossible to be destroyed. His appearance shook the earth, all nations wept hysterically.
The scene moved on further to a school, amidst many this monster demon known as "Cell" appeared suddenly. Everyone present fled; I was to face the impossible. I opened my eyes screaming as "Cell" attacked by pointing his finger. A powerful fire power shot toward me.
Three days later, the battles began raging. Witchcraft scattered everywhere had caused us sleepless nights.
In one Spirit dream, mom had just escaped from a building. As she ascended to the heavens with a child in her arms, there suddenly appeared a huge pair of hairy hands. The evil present crushed her and the little one. They seemed so minute while this giant's hands closed their grip. Caged in without hope, she called earnestly, "Jesus… I plead the Blood of Jesus". As she continued to plead the Blood of Jesus, the hands released their grip.
She had been heavily attacked thrice through the early hours of that morning. She awoke under the grip of her Spirit vision. Mom wept as Jimmy Swaggart sang 'At Calvary'. Her earnest cry brought a sure response from the Father, through His Son Jesus Christ.
The following morning, I was shown in another Spirit dream of an enormous, very long snake. In haste, every window and every door was closed. I had just about secured the house when the snake slithered like lightning. Relieved, I watched it trying to find a way to come through but there was none.
During the early hours of the morning of 6th August, I was shown of an extremely powerful dwarf. This thing was illuminated green as it hid in the dark ceiling of the school's toilet. I looked at its green arm dangling from an open trap door. It appeared that in whatever different ways I fought it, its steel bands gripped me.
Closing my eyes to concentrate brought a response from the Holy Spirit, "Call on Jesus." In earnest, I consistently called out, "Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! …there came a spectacular response which hit this green thing. It lay flat on the floor as my friend and I overpowered it.
For months on end, we underwent intense Spirit training. I do not have the exact Spirit words to describe it. Night and day, deep down, an indescribable intenseness would affect our physical bodies, insomuch that we did not know how to sit, stand or lie down. When we gave praise to the Lord Jesus, it increased so much, so much. How do I describe it?
During this period, I was shown in a Spirit dream, that holy men of God had sent me to a Moslem place of worship on a mission. Everyone wore these long, loose robes with a cap to cover the crowns of their heads. They were bowing down before an altar upon which stood the Koran, together with a star and a moon. To conduct this particular task, was foreign to me, nevertheless, I was careful.
I was about to walk out when these people uncovered the truth. Immediately, everyone became demoniac. I had just reached the entrance when a leopard came up from the earth having extraordinary, supernatural powers. With great force, this hell-hound ripped at my blood-covered face, then disappeared from where it came.
The onlookers' jeers turned demonic; just then, a rhino came up from the earth also having extraordinary supernatural powers. This beast attacked me viciously then disappeared into the earth. The crowd turned bloodthirsty when a lion came up from the earth having the powers of both of the others. This beast became totally blinded and could not stop attacking me when the hand of Jesus gently lifted me away.
(Isaiah 48: 10-11) "Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried and chosen you in the furnace of affliction. For My own sake, for My own sake, I do it (I refrain and do not utterly destroy you); for who should I permit My Name to be polluted and profaned (which it would be if the Lord completely destroyed His chosen people)? And I will not give My glory to another (by permitting the worship of idols to triumph over you).
On the morning of the 5th September 2011, I awoke from a Spirit vision upon my bed. My spirit beheld my physical body asleep when I noticed that my fists closed as though to do battle. Suddenly, the atmosphere became thick; evil hung heavily. My spirit knew that it was the tokolorsie which came down the inheritance line. I did not see it but my spirit knew that it would return again and again.
Meanwhile, the thing attacked mom while she was asleep; it appeared as though her flesh melted and left her body like flowing water. Immediately, she opened her eyes, an excessive burning covered her with pain. She began calling on the Name of Jesus, breaking all curses, when a response came from the Father.
Just the previous night, she interceded deeply in prayer, "How is it possible to protect myself against such when I am asleep? Equip me with a different set of spiritual weapons for these times Heavenly Father." she prayed in Jesus' Name.

Both PSV Eindhoven and CSKA Moscow make changes to their starting lineups for their crucial final Champions League Group B match.
Both PSV Eindhoven and CSKA Moscow have made changes to their starting lineups for their crucial final Champions League Group B match.
For the Dutch hosts, Phillip Cocu's only alteration is an enforced one, as Nicolas Isimat-Mirin comes in at right-back for the suspended Santiago Arias.
Former Chelsea defender Jeffrey Bruma continues at centre back alongside Hector Moreno, while Moreno's Mexico teammate Andres Guardado starts in midfield.
As Eindhoven look to secure their spot in the last 16 with victory, Cocu has again gone with Jurgen Locadia to partner top scorer Luuk de Jong up front, with the latter having scored 18 goals in all competitions already this season.
For CSKA, there are three changes as Vasili Berezutski returns to the heart of the defence after he managed to throw off a knock to return to fitness.
In midfield, Pontus Wernbloom and former Manchester United man Zoran Tosic return in place of Georgi Milanov and Viktor Vasin.
Shaw thanks PSV fans for "nice gesture"
