How does confusing and separating Gender Roles divorce us from our understanding of God? John Adams' Letter to Abigail Adams 1776 Summary of each Paragraph: Cut 17-18: Paragraph 1: If we had declared independence 7 months ago, we could have taken Canada, but the fractious nature of the Convention and the Tories ultimately stymied our best shot of winning Quebec. This loss of opportunity provides Britain with a foothold on our northern border, disadvantages us. Cut 19 Paragraph 2: None of that truly matters, however, because of the terrible epidemic of Smallpox that broke out amongst our troops. God is aware of this, and we should be looking to Him to see why these events have turned out the way they have. Cut 20 Paragraph 3: The bright side of the delay is this: The idea of Reconciliation between Britain and America is dead. Everyone knows what must be done now.

#0177 Federalist 51: Overreach of the Branches, Trump vs the Judicial, Tate vs Florida, Trade Wars, and more Introduction Federalist 51 Cut 1: Paragraph 1 How shall we run a government with compartmentalized, equally powerful, and co-regulating branches which we see in the new proposed Constitution? These branches of government must be contrived so that they maintain each other in a sense of authority, duty, and honesty towards the people. Allow me to elaborate. Paragraph 2: To best protect the interests of the people and the institution of this government, each branch should be formed, elected, and run independently of the other two. These should hold checks and balances over each other, but with as much independence as possible in election of the office holders. Cut 2 and 3: Paragraph 3: The members of each branch should also be free to act, even incentivized to act, with the authority of each's own office. If each branch is staged to seek its own interests, while maintaining alignment with the interests of the people, the different branches will hold each other accountable. Man is basically evil so we must set the selfish interests of politicians against each other for the sake of the people. Paragraph 4: The people and elections are the ultimate regulator on the vices of politicians, but organizing the branches so that their individual interests check each other is crucial. We need to even separate the legislature into two houses to protect the rights of the people and the rights of the states, while making the election of each as isolated from the other as possible. Paragraph 5: The power of the veto in the hands of the Executive Branch is a wise implementation of policy. However, as such a thing could be abused, the veto of the Executive Branch will only be allowed to be executed after a vote in the House of Congress has brought a vote to the Senate. This will allow some dissent in the voice of the Legislative from the Executive. Cut 4: Paragraph 6: This government, with competing interests, will provide protection from mob rule and should guide the nation towards justice, and away from corruption. Cut 5: Paragraph 7: For this to work, we will need to build a government that is incapable of turning against a minority by building this set of checks and balances, which will render the many factions powerless to act to the harm of the smaller ones. This is a reliance on the chaotic nature of man and his evil to prevent evil. Cut 6: Paragraph 8: By designing the government in light of human nature and our propensity to divide ourselves, while maintaining the human rights of the minority, it will be very difficult for a majority to pervert the laws to oppress the minority. Paragraph 9: If Rhode Island broke off into a democracy, it is clear that it would fall into the tyranny of the majority. This new Constitution is designed to appeal to our common understanding of Godliness over our independent needs. This design should prevent the tyranny of the majority. The Overreach of the Judicial Courts Cut 8 https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5177420-supreme-court-blocks-trump-funding/ And here we see the overreach that Madison was concerned with in Federalist 51.

Be Bold & Step Forward in Faith ( Be Bold Series)Hebrews 11:1-2 “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.  For by it the men of old received divine approval.”I have done the Bible in a Year podcast with Father Mike for two years.  This year, he is doing the Catechism of the Catholic Church in a Year.  The Catechism aims to summarize in book form the main beliefs of the Catholic Church.  I have owned this book for several years now and yet have never read the whole thing.  I did find some things highlighted today when looking through it, so I have looked through it, but never read through it all.  I was excited about this new podcast Father Mike is doing because I think it is important to be able to understand your faith completely and also to be able to explain it to others when asked.  People tend to have many questions as to why Catholics believe what they believe.  The other day, when I was listening, Father Mike touched on something that I thought was important to share with you because it is something that we have all run into many times in our lives.  The Catechism talked about how God sometimes reveals things to people to invite them into His company.  The adequate response to this invitation is faith.  It goes on to say in paragraph 144 that Sacred Scripture calls this human response to God, the author of revelation, “the obedience to faith.”  It says to obey in faith is to submit freely to the word that has been heard because its truth is guaranteed by God, who is Truth itself.  Abraham is the model of such obedience offered us by Sacred Scripture.  The Virgin Mary is its most perfect embodiment.  Paragraph 145 says The Letter to the Hebrews, in its great eulogy of the faith of Israel's ancestors lays special emphasis on Abraham's faith; “By faith, Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place which he was to receive as an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where to go.” He lived as a stranger and pilgrim in the promised land by faith.  By faith, Sarah was given to conceive the son of the promise.  And by faith Abraham offered his only son in sacrifice.Father Mike pointed out that all three people mentioned here, Abraham, Sarah, and Mary, acted in faith.  This was not the part that surprised me as I have heard the story of Abraham and Sarah many times, and I know everyone knows that Mary acted in faith when she said yes to carrying the Son of God.  What Father Mike said that makes sense when you think about it, but I guess I never really thought about it before, was that God didn't give these three people all the information before they answered in faith.  He didn't lay out every step they were going to take. He didn't tell them every bump in the road they would run into.  He didn't give them a five-year plan or a 10-year plan.  He didn't even give them a one-year plan.  He gave them the initial invitation with very little detail.  Abraham knew he couldn't stay where he was and that God was inviting him to leave his homeland.  He said yes without knowing where he was going and how all would turn out.  Sarah knew she would conceive a son but was not given any other information about when or how since she was advanced in age.  Mary was invited to conceive the son of God, and she asked one clarifying question: How was that possible when she had not known man?  She was told the Holy Spirit would overshadow her, and she would conceive the son of God.  However, that was about all the information she got.  She also was not told everything she would go through.  She wasn't told she would leave him in Jerusalem when he was 12, and she would be worried he was lost for 3 days.  She wasn't told about his suffering and crucifixion.  She was told about just that first step.This is the part that I think we can all relate to.  God is calling us all to something, and He calls us to it without giving us all the details.  He shines just enough light on our situation so we can see the next right step.  This can be scary for us.  We tend to want to know what is coming next.  We want to make sure we will be safe and secure.  But what if we knew everything we would go through and were scared we couldn't do it?  Everything we go through in life prepares us for the next thing we will go through.  If you knew it all in advance, you might not say yes.  It is believed that Mary was very young when she got married and had Jesus.  Do you think a teenager could have said yes to having a child that was going to be tortured and killed?  Would she have had that kind of strength as a teen?  I think Mary was able to be with Christ through all that because of all the things that came before that.  Everything we go through, good or bad, prepares us for the rest of our lives.  What about Abraham and Sarah?  Do you think they would have been all excited about having a child if they knew they would have to offer him up in a sacrifice?  Probably not, but God had been so faithful to His word that Abraham knew if God was asking him to do it, then He had a plan of how to make it right again.  Has God been faithful in our lives?  Can we look back and see where He has been with us the whole way?  Can we look back and see how things that didn't make sense at the time now make sense with the benefit of hindsight?  Has God gotten you through some pretty tough spots?  Do you have things that you have done and looking back you can honestly say you wouldn't have done them if you had known all they would entail?  God is so good.  He knows human nature.  He knows that we get scared easily.  He knows we tend to choose the easy route and try to avoid pain and discomfort at all costs.  God's ways are higher than ours, and His thoughts are higher than ours.  He knows that if we knew the whole picture, we might not accept the call He is calling us to.  Can we say yes in faith, like Abraham, Mary, and Sarah did?  Can we say yes to whatever new thing God calls us into without knowing all the details?  Can we trust that God has the details worked out and that if we are faithful and take the next step, he will shine a light forward to the next right step?  I also feel prompted to mention that God's timing is not ours.  God told Abraham he would have a child, and then I believe they waited 25 years for that to happen.  They did not wait perfectly; they tried to make it happen independently, but in the end, God was faithful.  I guess I felt prompted to mention that because I know some of you are waiting for your answered prayers.  I know some of you have been waiting for a long time.  I want to encourage you and let you know you are in good company.  Sometimes we can think God doesn't like us as much if we keep waiting almost like God is taking care of those more important to Him before He gets to us.  This is not the case.  God promised Abraham everything, yet he also had to wait a long time.Have faith to take the next step, even when you can't see where it leads. Take that step even if you don't know the final outcome or all the details. Move towards wherever God is calling you, knowing that if He called you there, He will shine a light on each step until you arrive. Referring back to the verse, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." St. Augustine said, "Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.” God rewards us when we step out in faith. Where can you trust God and step out in faith today?Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, we ask that you help us to know what you are calling us to.  We ask that you help us to have the faith to step out in that call even though we don't have all the details and don't know what will come next or when it will come.  Lord, give us the perseverance we need to wait for your call and to not try and manufacture it on our own.  We love you, Lord. You are amazing.  You know what is best for us, and we pray that we can listen to you and wait for your plan.  We are so grateful that You have a plan for each of us and that You light our steps so we can follow Your plan.  We are sorry for all the times we didn't follow your plan; we are trying, Dad.  We love you and ask all of this per your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.  I look forward to spending time with you again tomorrow.  Remember, Jesus loves you, and so do I!  Have a blessed day!Today's Word from the Lord was received in August 2024 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group.

Do you remember Humpty Dumpty? Well, you might be in the middle of a Humpty Dumpty relationship right now. You remember he fell down, went to pieces and all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again. Maybe that's how you feel right now; there are pieces all around you, and there's no one to put them together. The wreckage? Well, it could be a broken relationship or maybe a breaking relationship with a parent, or a child, a husband, a wife, or a friend. If you're one of the King's men or women, there's actually something you can do to put the pieces back together again if you will. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Putting Broken Back Together." Now, our word for today from the Word of God really has something to do with broken or breaking relationships. It says in Romans 12:17-18, "Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." Now, this says that there is a segment of any relationship that really is up to you. And as much as it depends on you; you cannot control the other person's response of course. But your part should always contribute to peace. Now, it's very easy to hide your responsibility for the brokenness of that relationship, or the strain, or the distance. You can say, "Oh, listen, what good would it do? They're never going to change." Or, "He/she doesn't understand; they don't want to understand." Or how about this, "If I did talk to them, they'd never listen." Or, "Listen, you know, I've tried so hard. What's the use?" Listen, that relationship is worth fighting for. You're going to carry with you wherever you go the remains of that broken relationship, like all the broken pieces of Humpty Dumpty, carried around inside of you. I wonder, would you take one more initiative? Would you try to build a paper bridge to that person? To be able to say, "As much as I could do, I have done." You know what I'm going to ask you to do? Write a letter. Now, if you haven't written a letter to them yet, well then maybe you haven't done all you could. You see, when you write, here's what happens. It will be much clearer than if you don't write and you try to just say it, because when you just say it you get distracted. And they'll answer and you'll answer back. And also, if you'll write it they'll consider it a lot more seriously; they'll read it over and over again and they're not going to have to be thinking of what they're going to say next. So, you sort of have their full attention. And I'd like to suggest to you five paragraphs in that letter with that person that, well, there's a strained relationship. I'll give you the opening sentence of each paragraph, and then it's up to you. Paragraph number one, "I love you..." Start with that; explain your love for them. The second paragraph, "Thank you for..." Just begin to reflect on some of the things you do appreciate about them. I know there's a lot of things that frustrate you, bother you, but you never would have had a relationship with them if there weren't some things you appreciate about them too. Would you start to list those? "Thank you for..." The third paragraph begins with these very difficult words, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for my part of the brokenness; for anything I've contributed to a broken or strained relationship." The fourth paragraph says, "I wish we could... Here's how I'd like our relationship to be..." "Whatever's happened in the past, here's how I'd like it to be from now on." The last paragraph, "I promise..." "Here's my commitments to you." Okay, did you get that? "I love you," Thank you," "I'm sorry," "I wish we could," "I promise," and then you get on your knees and you lay that letter before the Lord and you pray over it. And then you talk about it with the person after it arrives. Let them read it. Ask them if they would talk with you after it arrives. Look, what have you got to lose? And maybe it will be a new beginning. For some people I know it has been. And you will have fulfilled what the Scripture says, "As far as it depends on you, live at peace." Give God a chance to take that relationship and mend it again, using that letter as a beginning, because that relationship is going to be a part of you wherever you go.

Consent is a fundamental principle, ensuring users have control over their data. However, tracking technologies often collect data without explicit consent, raising privacy concerns. Data breaches can expose sensitive information, leading to identity theft and financial loss. Anonymity allows users to interact online without revealing their true identity, while encryption protects data by scrambling it, making it difficult for unauthorized individuals to access. Understanding these concepts is essential for protecting online privacy and navigating the digital landscape responsibly.If you want to sign up for the free daily English vocabulary newsletter, go towww.dailyenglishvocabulary.com

In this episode, we delve into the pioneering work of conceptual artist Sol LeWitt, exploring his theories concerning ownership and art reproduction. LeWitt's process put into question many more orthodox ways of thinking about art-making, emphasizing the idea behind the work rather than the product itself. We talk about the powers of LeWitt's thesis, Paragraphs on Conceptual Art, in bringing about a collaborative notion of making, viewing, and understanding art that is still resonant in today's art scene.

The Government has submitted a brief response to the defendant's letter dated January 24, 2025 (Dkt. No. 135), which contains new and unsubstantiated allegations of misconduct. The defendant's claims are based on declarations filed by the Government and the Bureau of Prisons in response to the Court's January 3, 2025 Order. These declarations, referenced as Dkt. No. 123, Dkt. No. 131-1 (“Pros. Team Decl.”), and Dkt. No. 131-2 (“Investigator-1 Decl.”), were submitted to address specific inquiries from the Court.In its response, the Government maintains that the defendant's allegations lack factual support and do not accurately reflect the content of the submitted declarations. The Government emphasizes that its filings were made in compliance with the Court's directives and that the assertions of misconduct raised by the defense are without merit. The response seeks to clarify the record and ensure that the proceedings remain focused on the legal and evidentiary issues at hand.AlsoThe Government has submitted a response opposing the defendant's motion to modify the terms of the Protective Order, which seeks to require the electronic production of specific videos referenced in Paragraphs 12(a) and 12(c) of the Indictment (Dkt. 129). The Government argues that the Court should deny this request, as the sensitive nature of these videos justifies their current designation under the Protective Order, which allows only for in-person inspection. The Government asserts that the existing restrictions are necessary to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the evidence.Additionally, the Government highlights the defendant's alleged violation of the Protective Order by improperly disclosing details of the videos in his motion without the required redactions. This breach, according to the Government, further supports the need for strict safeguards regarding the handling of these materials. The response emphasizes that allowing electronic production would increase the risk of unauthorized disclosure, making it essential to uphold the current protective measures.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.138.0.pdfgov.uscourts.nysd.628425.136.0.pdf

Listen to this interview of Roberto Verdecchia, Assistant Professor, University of Florence, Italy; and also, Per Runeson, Professor, Lund University, Sweden. We talk about their coauthored papers Threats to Validity in Software Engineering Research: A Critical Reflection (IST 2023) and Threats to Validity in Software Engineering — hypocritical paper section or essential analysis? (ESEM 2024). Per Runeson : "I think what we've seen in our work here on threats to validity — and it was certainly our intention in conducting it in the first place — is, to have the researcher take the initiative and really adopt a reflective attitude. Because, research is not only about investigating facts and testing hypotheses. It's also about reflecting on the learning process, and it's about the extent to which you can trust what you've learned in doing that research, but also it's about the way forward from there, that is, how do we take the work forward into the future."

In United States v. Combs, Case No. 24-cr-542 (AS), Sean Combs's legal team has filed a request for a modification to the Protective Order issued by the court. The current order restricts the defense from receiving electronic copies of video evidence referenced in Paragraphs 12(a) and 12(c) of the indictment, permitting only inspection of the footage. Combs's attorneys argue that this restriction hinders their ability to fully investigate the evidence and demonstrate its exculpatory value. They contend that the videos strongly support Combs's innocence and must be electronically produced for proper evaluation and use in his defense.Citing Rule 16(a)(1)(E), which mandates the government to provide access to relevant evidence, and Rule 16(d)(1), which limits restrictions on such evidence to cases with demonstrated "good cause," the defense asserts that no valid justification exists for withholding electronic copies. They emphasize that the videos are critical to ensuring a fair trial and argue that the government's restrictions undermine the defense's ability to effectively utilize the material alongside other Rule 16 and Brady disclosures. The motion urges the court to modify the Protective Order and allow for standard electronic production of the videos.In United States v. Combs, Case No. 24 Cr. 542 (AS), the government has requested that the court direct Sean Combs's defense team to remove and refile their January 14, 2025, motion to amend the Protective Order. The government argues that the defense's filing violated the existing Protective Order by failing to appropriately redact sensitive information. The motion in question seeks to modify restrictions on video evidence, which is currently limited to inspection by counsel and the defendant, without allowing for electronic production.The government asserts that the defense's incomplete redactions breach the terms of the Protective Order (Dkt. 26), which is designed to safeguard the handling of specific evidence in the case. While acknowledging the defense's request to amend the order regarding the video evidence, the government emphasizes that compliance with the current protective measures is essential. They request the court to ensure the filing is re-submitted with redactions that fully adhere to the established rules.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.126.0.pdf
