Oh yeah! I have individuals crawl out of the underbelly of constricted consciousness and spew fanatical venom at me. I remember back in October I did a phone interview with a Fox News or CNN, and I said: "Why is this such a big deal?" The reporter saying, "You just don't get it do you? You are a white, active-duty cop, from the South speaking out for minority rights. Too many people member of the Black Community, you are like a unicorn." Naïvely, I chuckled and said, "If you say so." Truthfully, I didn't get it back then. However, I get it now.
Honestly, I don't lament on the negativity, so at this moment it's hard to think of everything I have faced. In the end, I get it. I do push the envelope of being willing to discuss things that are controversial and most importantly uncomfortable for some people. I have always said, everything I say is positive. However, that doesn't mean it's positive to everybody.
You can read something I wrote about the "curse" of all of this here.
It seems like some of the stuff you talk about is "Anti-Cop" what's the deal!
Being a "race baiter" or anti-police are some of the most common insults hurled in my direction. Here is the deal, I am in no way shape or form, anti-cop. I believe law enforcement to be a noble profession, and that it should represent the ultimate standard of righteousness within a society. I like to say, that law enforcement is my best friend. Now, don't allow your best friend to engage in harmful behavior without discouraging or telling them not too. If you did, you wouldn't be a good best friend. So indeed, there are plenty of times that I will cross the proverbial "thin blue line" and speak out against instances where law enforcement has stepped over the line and engaged in unethical, immoral or even criminal behavior. I believe the only true way we pay tribute to all the great cops in this profession, which I do believe is indeed the vast majority, is by calling out the bad cops and casting them from our ranks.
So there you have it. That is basically, most of the questions that people ever ask me. However, if you ever have any questions, by all means, please ask. I'm just an average guy, who is probably insane because I believe in the goodness of all people. For reasons I don't actually understand, or at times feel I deserve, I have been given an opportunity to at least try to make the world a better place. I am human, I make mistakes, and I get frustrated. However, I've never prayed or asked to be rich, famous, have a big house or fancy cars (all to my wife's chagrin). All I have ever wanted to do, was just make a difference in this world. To do something that allowed me to leave the world in a better place than when I got here. So at the end of the day, not everyone is going to like me, however, that insanity of believing in people and better world is what ultimately motivates me.<eot>January 2013 – Kenshin Thoughts
Last year was yet another period of drastic changes in my life followed by series of trips to SE Asia.
Things I felt in each startup scene in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan are very diverse. At the same time I saw great necessity for creating bridge between these countries and Japan in terms of access to venture capital and human resources.
Hence, 2012 was also the year I started making angel investment in startups.
Trend in each startup scene was somewhat similar. I saw many startups in the area of P2P marketplace (from car sharing to job outsourcing), cloud & micro financing and smart phone based eCommerce targeted at niche segment.
By acting as angel investor I can be more involved with not only individual startup but also entire ecosystem across SE Asia as a whole.
If two startups are trying to get into the same area but from different countries (or angles), why not collaborate and increase chance of survival?
I understand there is opinion that chasing more than one region at the same time will result in higher failure rate since development and marketing effort will have to split. It totally makes sense to just focus on own region first and then move on to the next.
However, we have seen cases like Twitter, Groupon, Instagram where second dominant user comes from Japan. In recent cases, startups originated from Asian countries such as Between, Burpple, KakaoTalk are the few examples that are quite keen and aggressive to Japanese market.
What does it imply? From my point of view, it's clear that Japanese market can function as secondary (or sometimes primary) accelerator to their business due to its high penetration rate of smart phones and habit of spending more money for online services than ones in other Asian countries.
I believe by making angel investment in startups I can narrow the gap between two ecosystems and help startup get the most out of what our country has to offer or vice versa.
I'm hoping 2013 will be the year for startups finally beginning to see both venture capital and human resources freely flowing across Asia.<eot>This INFP personality guide will give you detailed information about the INFP personality and the careers that suit this personality type.

5 Careers That Will Suit INFPs
5.1 Popular INFP careers
Firstly, it is important to understand that personality typing is not designed to pigeonhole a person or to say that one personality is better than another. Each personality has its unique characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses. An empowering personal development tool, personality typing will help you to:
The road to modern personality typology was first paved by Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst. Based on Jung's work, psychologists Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Briggs created the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The MBTI identifies 16 different personalities, and it is one of the most popular methods of personality typing today.
The letters that are assigned to each of the above preferences make up a four-letter code for each of the 16 personality types. This simple coding system shows you how each of the four preferences interact, and which one you tend to use first.
For example, an INFP person is described as an introverted person who uses intuition, feeling, and perceiving preferences.
INFPs are introverts
INFPs are introverts. They draw energy from their internal world and prefer a solitary life. People who have this personality type are described by others as being quiet, reserved, or even shy, but that doesn't mean an INFP doesn't enjoy being around people.
The saying "never judge a book by its cover" is perfect for INFPs, as they are often misunderstood due to their reserved manner. However, don't be put off by their aloofness. INFPs are curious about human nature, want to learn more about other people, and like to make meaningful connections.
Overview of the INFP Personality and Characteristics
The INFP personality has been given the nicknames "The Idealist" and "The Mediator" as these types of people have an idealistic worldview and a desire to help and support others.
Just because they are easy-going, Idealists are highly principled people who are guided through life by a strong moral compass, and they passionately hold onto their beliefs. When an Idealist supports a charitable cause, they are unstoppable. They will single-mindedly pursue their mission regardless of challenges.
You won't find INFPs obsessing over small details or getting hung up on the present as they are future-minded people who focus on the "big picture". Once they form their opinions, they stubbornly stick to their beliefs which can make them seem rigid and unyielding. But despite this stubbornness, INFPs are clever future forecasters who imagine a world full of possibilities.
Mediators are extremely sensitive to other people's emotions and needs, and they are caring, compassionate, kind, empathetic, considerate, and non-judgmental.
They listen to people's problems and offer comfort during times of stress, grief, or trauma. If there is a disagreement between people, a Mediator has an amazing ability to see both sides of the story. They will stay calm and successfully bring about a peaceful resolution. But in saying this, Mediators prefer to avoid conflict and they don't like negativity.
Imaginative and creative, INFPs are gifted problem-solvers. If there is a crisis or an issue with a project, they will offer practical, constructive solutions that no one else has thought of.
INFPs must be very careful with their narrow idealistic worldviews. Every personality type has its weaknesses and INFPs can get very disappointed, frustrated, angry, and depressed when life does not conform to their perfectionistic expectations.
Because they have a sensitive, gentle soul, INFPs can be easily hurt by others when their altruistic actions are not appreciated. They must guard their heart to avoid being manipulated by people who possess a more domineering personality.
One of the major strengths of this personality type is that despite challenges and disappointments, INFPs will try to maintain their sunny, positive outlook on life and strive to make the world a better place for everyone.
Intuition is very important for INFP types as they use this powerful gift to receive information from their surroundings and determine future outcomes. To interpret and add meaning to information, they use their insightful impressions and perceived patterns they have picked up from the external world.
Some INFPs will explain their intuition as having a "hunch" or a "gut feeling" about a situation or person and the strange thing is, they are often right about their "hunches".
Their intuition may tell them that a certain person is not genuine or has suspect motives, and an INFP may even warn you to stay away from a particular person.
INFPs prefer to make decisions based on their emotions as well as their values, beliefs, and ideals. But while their decisions are primarily based on what feels right to them at the time, they have a paramount desire to consider others, so their decisions will often be subjective to other people's feelings.
As Perceivers, INFPs are flexible, spontaneous, and highly adaptable. They like to remain open to new ideas just in case circumstances change or a great opportunity arises.
Their carefree, relaxed attitude can make it hard for them to adhere to other people's plans. As they live in the moment, they can get bored easily with repetitive tasks. Their impulsive nature will often keep them from making important decisions until the last minute.
INFPs prefer to work in careers that are in line with their values and allow them to use their skill set to help others.
Due to their introverted nature, INFPs prefer to work alone but they still work well in a small team where they can provide altruistic support, and their peaceable nature will create a harmonious environment. Although INFPs prefer flexible working conditions, they are happy to work in a structured workplace but only if they can work at their speed, be autonomous, and not be subject to a lot of stress.
Dedicated to self-improvement, INFPs like to learn new things and enlarge their skill base. Becoming better people means they can help everyone to stay enthused, positive, and productive.
Powerful imaginaries, INFPs especially thrive in careers where they can express their creativity. Their creative pool is deep, so they can be relied upon to produce innovative ideas in brainstorming sessions. If there are multiple projects to be completed, INFPs are gifted jugglers. But once they start work, they can get distracted easily, so they need clear instructions and deadlines to help them stay focussed.
Even though they are quiet and may not seek out a leadership position, INFPs make inspiring leaders who see the potential in people. As they are encouraging, intuitive, and possess an incredible understanding of human nature, people will follow them.
INFPs prefer to have a few close friends but their relationships are strong and long-lasting. While they connect with peoples' emotions, INFPs can struggle with vulnerability and are reluctant to share their feelings with others, and it can take a while to get to them. But once INFPs are comfortable bearing their soul, they will freely share their feelings.
Because they are wholeheartedly committed to their strong values, INFPs passionately defend their own beliefs, but their ethical nature also makes them strong advocates for social justice issues. INFPs are also patient and willing to consider different points of view.
Extremely idealistic, INFPs have high expectations of others so people can find it hard to live up to their expectations. As they are very sensitive, they can get hurt easily and take things too personally. But as a friend or partner, INFPs are incredibly loyal and will consider a friend or family member's happiness over their own.
Good at seeing "the big picture"
Struggles with criticism and stress
Trouble with expressing emotion

Careers That Will Suit INFPs
This quote from Isabel Briggs-Meyers gives you an indication of the types of careers that will suit the INFP personality type: "INFPs excel in fields that deal with possibilities for people." INFPs are motivated by a vision for a better future, and they are dedicated to helping people embrace that future and improve people's lives, so they will be perfect candidates for careers in humanitarian organizations, social justice, and healthcare.
Their caring, gentle nature, and high sensitivity to their environment also make them well suited for careers that involve caring for animals.
INFPs who use their artistic gifts desire to express their altruistic passion through the creative arts so they will be naturally drawn to music, art, and literature, and careers in the media or communication industries.
INFPs have all the necessary characteristics and strengths to make any workplace environment a happier, more productive place. They are ethical, supportive, empathetic, intuitive, and creative, and their positive vision for a bright future inspires everyone who knows them.
Finding the best career to suit your personality type can be a challenge, but when you take a free AI-powered personality test, you will be able to choose a career that is tailor-made for you.<eot>Issuu Generators Summit 2018: A New Age of Storytelling – Issuu Blog

"Saints" are not something that many would associate with the Lutheran church in the same way that we do with our Catholic and Orthodox brothers and sisters. We don't elevate them to a higher "position", or offer prayers to them as intercessors to God. As Lutherans we are taught that we worship and pray to our one true God. Yet every year we celebrate All "Saints" Day. Has anyone else ever found that confusing?
Perhaps if we think of All Saints Day by another name that it is commonly known, the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed, it will make a bit more sense. "Saints" are actually all true believers, living or dead, who believe that they are atoned by the blood of Christ. Now some of these saints may be more remembered for the specific work they have done or the stance they took on behalf of their faith and are therefore granted that special title that we know them by. But others are lesser known, and are revered for the blessings they have brought to the lives of those around them just the same. It is why, when a believer dies, we may refer to them as "Sainted". They don't carry an official designation, but they lived and died knowing their salvation was sealed on the cross and being an example of the love of Christ while here on earth.
This year as in others, we will remember those who have gone before. Perhaps you will be thinking of someone who held your hand as a small child and first taught you to say your prayers and read you stories from their lap each Christmas. Maybe it's the childhood friend who helped you discover your love for music that you wish had lived closer so that you could spend some time with them before they passed on. For many of us, it may be the childhood teacher, pastor, and mentor who encouraged us to grow in our faith. All a part of the cloud of witnesses, cheering us on to grow in our faith and spread the Good News. All of them saints who have gone before us, but who first set us examples of faith, hope and love.
As we remember those who have passed on, I think of the second verse of the hymn, For all the Saints, written by William Walsham How:<eot>Hond was aware of the many problems alcohol created for Māori and was a non-drinker. Yet heart problems, aggravated by 40 years of cigarette smoking, led to her death on 18 November 1989 at New Plymouth. She was survived by her husband and five children and is buried in the Ruakere family cemetery at Pūniho.<eot>If you are interested in participating please leave your comments below. We are limiting the number of participants this year, so keep an eye out for the official signup later this month which is now available closed.<eot>Our Hudson Valley farmers care deeply about their local communities and are actively communicating with one another to ensure continued distribution of healthy, nutritious food, safely produced following CDC guidelines and with a very limited chain-of-custody. Please support your local farmers, and spread the word that helping them helps the continued support and food security for our communities.<eot>She has called her baby Blue which I think is a stupid name. I asked her if the baby was named after the band Blue from the Eurovision Song Contest but she said no that would be stupid, it is named after the song by Eiffel 65. I remember that she used to listen to that song a lot with her last boyfriend so it is lucky that she does not think about him any more.
On Sundays I am supposed to see my dad. This Sunday he could not make it but as he does not want to lose his Access Rights he sent one of his friends to take me out instead and told me not to tell my mum that he wasn’t there.
Dad’s friend said I could call him Uncle Steve and he said we could go to the Seaside, but he seemed sad.
The Seaside was silent and grey. We went past a shop with chickens in it and Uncle Steve started beating against the window. “Those poor chickens!” he said. “It is terrible what has been done to them!” I said it was not as bad as when people get murdered but Uncle Steve did not agree. He said you could murder a hundred people and it would not be as bad as eating a Zinger Tower Burger, which made me sad because I like the hash brown in it.<eot>Missouri DWI Checkpoints for March, 2016 | NO MO DUI

DWI Saturation Patrols by Missouri State Highway Patrol: Caldwell County, Christian County, Jefferson County (multiple saturation patrols), Newton County, Phelps County, and Stoddard County.
Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) SAFETE enforcement projects: Greene County and Lawrence County. These patrols will look for violations from commercial drivers as well has hazardous moving violations by all drivers.
Motorists will be contacted for the limited purpose of determining if they are impaired by alcohol or other drugs. All efforts will be made to keep the process as brief as possible. If the officer suspects a driver to be under the influence of intoxicants and/or drugs, they will be asked to submit to a field sobriety test(s).
In 2015, 872 people were killed in traffic crashes on Missouri roadways. Preliminary statistics indicate almost one-fourth of these deaths were a result of impaired driving. Sobriety checkpoints are just one method the Missouri State Highway Patrol utilizes to combat preventable injury and death caused by impaired drivers.
Captain Ridens said, "Driving while impaired continues to be a major contributing factor of traffic crashes in Missouri, and we are committed to protect the public from these drivers."
The exact dates and times of the DWI checkpoints have not been announced, but when we see them they will be posted on our free mobile app.
The sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols will be conducted with assistance from local law enforcement agencies.
We may see more DWI saturation patrols and checkpoints than announced here, so be sure to get our free mobile app NO MO DUI for locations of Missouri DWI checkpoints, speed traps, and red light cameras. The app also features 1 click call a lawyer or cab, record the police feature, and more!
