Superbosses

there has long been a disconnect between church membership and discipleship. Superbosses provides leaders of christian churches access to a discipleship model that is proven to work. the author emphasizes the personal development of each person within the organization. As people realize their true potential, are inspired, trained, equipped, and set free to accomplish their god given purpose in life, they will grow and pursue excellence with a passion rarely seen

A Reevaluation of the Canons of Statutory Interpretation

This Symposium has its genesis in the Vanderbilt Law Review\u27s inaugural symposium, A Symposium on Statutory Construction, published in 1950.\u27 Although the 1950 Symposium included a Foreword by Justice Felix Frankfurter and contributions by several preeminent scholars in the field, Karl Llewellyn\u27s clumsily titled but succinctly written Remarks on the Theory of Appellate Decision and the Rules or Canons About How Statutes are to be Construed has eclipsed the Symposium which brought it to light and has persevered as a highly influential, if not definitive, critique of the canons of statutory construction. Llewelyn\u27s article, in general, attacks legal formalism and advocates judicial reliance on what he calls a situation sense. The most influential part of this article, however, is not the body proper but the appendix which lists twenty-eight well-worn canons often thrust at a court and, for each of the twenty-eight, an equally legitimate canon convenient for parry. Were Llewellyn a physicist he might have hypothesized that whenever a proponent advocates a canon, there is an equal and opposite canon available to his antagonist. In sum, Llewellyn lam- basted the canons and struck a near fatal blow to their legitimacy: [T]here are two opposing canons on almost every point.. . . Plainly, to make any canon take hold in a particular instance, the construction contended for must be sold, essentially, by means other than the use of the canon: The good sense of the situation and a simple construction of the available language to achieve that sense, by tenable means, out of the statutory language. In the last decade statutory interpretation has reemerged as an important topic of debate in the academic community and the courts. We have witnessed a revival of formalism and textualism and a renewed willingness of the judiciary to turn to the canons of statutory interpretation for guidance. This debate has particular relevance to the practitioner because statutes now comprise our primary source of law. Influential judicial advocates such as Justice Scalia have argued that the stability of the rule of law is grounded in a law of rules. Academic commentators have argued that the increased complexity of the administrative state has heightened the importance of the canons because of the simplicity they provide judges who must venture into areas of the law in which they have little interest or expertise. Other commentators, however, have countered that the increased complexity of the administrative state has made the canons not only less helpful but simply irrelevant in modern jurisprudence

Out of Focus: The Misapplication of Traditional Equitable Principles in the Nontraditional Arena of School Desegregation

Karl Marx wrote that all historical facts occur twice--the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.\u27 In the desegregation of Little Rock, Arkansas, the genres were reversed. In 1957 the opportunistic Governor Orvall Faubus reduced to farce the Little Rock Board of Education\u27s initial attempt to comply with the United States Supreme Court\u27s decree in Brown v. Board of Education when he ordered the Arkansas National Guard to prohibit nine black students from entering Little Rock High School. In 1983, after more than two decades of continuous court supervision and intermittent litigation, the tragedy began when the Little Rock School District (LRSD) sued the two contiguous school districts, the Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD)and the North Little Rock School District (NLRSD), as well as the State of Arkansas, seeking an interdistrict remedy of countywide consolidation of the three school districts. Nine years earlier, in Milliken v. Bradley (Milliken I),\u27 the Supreme Court had ruled that a court cannot grant an interdistrict remedy unless the plaintiff proves that constitutional violations by one school district produced significant discriminatory effects in another school district.\u27 The plaintiffs never named the suburban school districts as defendants or put forth evidence of interdistrict violations by the suburban school districts. The district court had included the suburban school districts in the remedy because it determined that the Detroit school system contained too many blacks to desegregate it effectively within its own boundaries. The Supreme Court rejected the district court\u27s metropolitan remedy because it would force the suburban school districts to participate in a remedy for a constitutional violation that they had not committed

Clustering and Micro-immiscibility in Alcohol-Water Mixtures: Evidence from Molecular Dynamics Simulations

We have investigated the hydrogen-bonded structures in liquid methanol and a 7:3 mole fraction aqueous solution using classical Molecular Dynamics simulations at 298K and ambient pressure. We find that, in contrast to recent predictions from X-ray emission studies, the hydrogen-bonded structure in liquid methanol is dominated by chain and small ring structures. In the methanol-rich solution, we find evidence of micro-immiscibility, supporting recent conclusions derived from neutron diffraction data.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

We Know I Know You Know; Choreographic Programming With Multicast and Multiply Located Values

Concurrent distributed systems are notoriously difficult to construct and reason about. Choreographic programming is a recent paradigm that describes a distributed system in a single global program called a choreography. Choreographies simplify reasoning about distributed systems and can ensure deadlock freedom by static analysis. In previous choreographic programming languages, each value is located at a single party, and the programmer is expected to insert special untyped "select" operations to ensure that all parties follow the same communication pattern. We present He-Lambda-Small, a new choreographic programming language with Multiply Located Values. He-Lambda-Small allows multicasting to a set of parties, and the resulting value will be located at all of them. This approach enables a simple and elegant alternative to "select": He-Lambda-Small requires that the guard for a conditional be located at all of the relevant parties. In He-Lambda-Small, checking that a choreography is well-typed suffices to show that it is deadlock-free. We present several case studies that demonstrate the use of multiply-located values to concisely encode tricky communication patterns described in previous work without the use of "select" or redundant communication.Comment: Submitted to ICFP 202

DT-SIM: Property-Based Testing for MPC Security

Formal methods for guaranteeing that a protocol satisfies a cryptographic security definition have advanced substantially, but such methods are still labor intensive and the need remains for an automated tool that can positively identify an insecure protocol. In this work, we demonstrate that property-based testing, "run it a bunch of times and see if it breaks", is effective for detecting security bugs in secure protocols. We specifically target Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC), because formal methods targeting this security definition for bit-model implementations are particularly difficult. Using results from the literature for Probabilistic Programming Languages and statistical inference, we devise a test that can detect various flaws in a bit-level implementation of an MPC protocol. The test is grey-box; it requires only transcripts of randomness consumed by the protocol and of the inputs, outputs, and messages. It successfully detects several different mistakes and biases introduced into two different implementations of the classic GMW protocol. Applied to hundreds of randomly generated protocols, it identifies nearly all of them as insecure. We also include an analysis of the parameters of the test, and discussion of what makes detection of MPC (in)security difficult
