           Appellant secured a judgment in the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of New York (Arthur D. Spatt, J.). After the judgment was affirmed on appeal,

the district court amended it to state that appellant was entitled to post-judgment interest

at the rate set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1961. The district court rejected plaintiff’s argument
that he was entitled to post-judgment interest at the rate provided for in New York

C.P.L.R. § 5004. We hold that the district court correctly, and constitutionally, applied

§ 1961, notwithstanding that the judgment had been entered in a diversity action and had

been docketed by appellant in a New York state court.

       AFFIRMED.

GERARD E. LYNCH, Circuit Judge:

       On August 20, 2010, Robert N. Cappiello secured a judgment in the amount of

$600,510.15 against ICD Publications, Inc. (“ICD”) in the United States District Court for

the Eastern District of New York (Arthur D. Spatt, J.). The judgment was affirmed by

this Court on January 23, 2012. By order dated June 7, 2012, the district court amended

the judgment to provide that Cappiello was entitled to post-judgment interest at the rate

set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1961. Cappiello appeals that June 7, 2012 order, contending that

he is entitled to post-judgment interest at the rate set forth in § 5004 of the New York

Civil Practice Law and Rules (“C.P.L.R.”). We disagree and therefore affirm the district

court’s order.

                                             2
                                     BACKGROUND

       Cappiello was employed by ICD until he was fired on January 31, 2008. Cappiello

then filed this lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, asserting claims

for breach of contract against ICD and for tortious interference with contract against

ICD’s president, David Palcek. The defendants removed the action to the United States

District Court for the Eastern District of New York pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1441 and

1332. Cappiello prevailed on his claim against ICD, and the district court entered

judgment on August 20, 2010, awarding him $532,587.06 in damages plus $67,923.09 in

pre-judgment interest for a total award of $600,510.15. ICD timely appealed that

judgment

       On November 1, 2010, while the appeal was pending, Cappiello filed a copy of the

judgment with the Clerk of the Suffolk County Supreme Court in accordance with

C.P.L.R. § 5018(b).1 The following day, Cappiello delivered a property execution to the

Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office, directing it to levy against ICD’s assets in that county.

However, on December 2, 2010, upon ICD’s posting of a supersedeas bond, the district

court stayed execution of the judgment under Rule 62(d) pending appeal.

       1
        Section 5018(b) of the C.P.L.R. reads: “A transcript of the judgment of a court of
the United States rendered or filed within the state may be filed in the office of the clerk
of any county and upon such filing the clerk shall docket the judgment in the same
manner and with the same effect as a judgment entered in the supreme court within the
county.” Under 28 U.S.C. § 1962, upon being registered in the state court, the judgment
became “a lien on the property located in [New York] in the same manner, to the same
extent and under the same conditions as a judgment of a court of general jurisdiction in
[New York].”

                                             3
       On January 23, 2012, this Court affirmed the district court’s August 20, 2010

judgment. Accordingly, on February 28, 2012, ICD tendered payment of the judgment,

including post-judgment interest at the rate of .25%, which was calculated in accordance

with 28 U.S.C. § 1961.2 Cappiello rejected the payment on the ground that ICD was

required to pay the 9% New York post-judgment interest rate set out in C.P.L.R. §§ 5003

and 5004.3 On March 7, 2012, ICD moved in the district court under Rule 60(b)(5) for a

declaration that its February 28 tender fully satisfied the August 20, 2010 judgment.

       While ICD’s motion was pending, Cappiello renewed his efforts to collect on the

judgment by means other than accepting ICD’s offer of payment. On March 15, 2012,

Cappiello informed ICD’s bonding agency that he had registered the district court’s

August 20, 2010 judgment in the state supreme court, that the judgment would “not be

satisfied unless and until both the New York State and the Eastern District of New York

judgments have been satisfied,” and that in order to satisfy what Cappiello thus identified

as two separate judgments, the agency was required to pay the judgment amount plus

       2
         That provision reads, in part: “Interest shall be allowed on any money judgment
in a civil case recovered in a district court. . . . Such interest shall be calculated from the
date of the entry of the judgment, at a rate equal to the weekly average 1-year constant
maturity Treasury yield, as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, for the calendar week preceding[] the date of the judgment.” 28 U.S.C.
§ 1961(a).
       3
         Section 5003 of the C.P.L.R. provides, in part: “Every order directing the
payment of money which has been docketed as a judgment shall bear interest from the
date of such docketing.” Section 5004 provides: “Interest shall be at the rate of nine per
centum per annum, except where otherwise provided by statute.”

                                               4
interest at the state rate of 9%. In light of Cappiello’s letter, ICD moved on April 18,

2012 for a stay of execution pending resolution of ICD’s Rule 60 motion. Cappiello

opposed the motion and continued his collection efforts. In May and June, he contacted

ICD’s bank, first with a subpoena and a “restraining notice,” and then with a letter

demanding a response and threatening legal action. At no time, however, did Cappiello

commence an enforcement action in state court asking for judicial relief of any kind.

       The district court ruled on ICD’s motions on June 7, 2012. It construed the Rule

60(b)(5) motion as a motion to clarify the judgment under Rule 60(a), which it granted,

and it denied the motion for a stay as moot. Specifically, the court amended the August

20, 2010 judgment to specify that Cappiello was entitled to post-judgment interest

calculated in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1961. The court rejected Cappiello’s argument

that he was entitled to New York’s 9% interest rate. It observed that the judgment was a

federal judgment notwithstanding its having been filed in state court, and held that the

judgment was therefore governed by the “plain language” of § 1961, which “applies to

‘any money judgment in a civil case recovered in a district court.’” Cappiello v. ICD

Publ’ns, 868 F. Supp. 2d 55, 60 (E.D.N.Y. 2012), quoting 28 U.S.C. § 1961 (emphasis

added by district court). Cappiello filed a notice of appeal on July 2, 2012.

                                      DISCUSSION

       We review a district court’s award of post-judgment interest under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1961 de novo. Westinghouse Credit Corp. v. D’Urso, 371 F.3d 96, 100 (2d Cir. 2004).

                                             5
       Cappiello contends that the district court’s application of § 1961 to determine the

post-judgment interest in this case was unconstitutional. To the extent he argues that the

district court erred when it “purport[ed] to dictate the post-judgment interest rate to be

applied by New York when enforcing a federal judgment that was properly docketed and

sought to be enforced under New York law,” Appellant’s Br. 9 (emphasis added), his

argument rests on a faulty premise. The district court did not issue a directive to a state

court judge or other state court official, nor did it address the interest rate a state court

judge would have been required to apply had Cappiello attempted to enforce the

judgment in state court. Rather, the district court clarified the amount ICD was obligated

to pay to satisfy the federal court that the federal judgment had been fully executed.

Accordingly, because the district court did not “dictate the applicable post-judgment

interest rate to be applied by a state court when enforcing a foreign judgment within its

borders,” Appellant’s Reply Br. 3 (emphasis in original), Cappiello’s contention is

without merit.

       Cappiello fares no better to the extent he argues that federal district courts cannot

constitutionally apply 28 U.S.C. § 1961 to federal judgments rendered in diversity

actions, or to federal judgments that have been docketed in state court. The district court

here treated the question of § 1961’s applicability in such cases as settled under the law of

this Circuit. See Cappiello, 868 F. Supp. 2d at 59-60. Indeed, we have stated that “the

federal post-judgment interest rate provided for in 28 U.S.C. § 1961 applies in diversity

cases.” FCS Advisors, Inc. v. Fair Fin. Co., 605 F.3d 144, 147 (2d Cir. 2010). However,

                                                6
we have not previously addressed a frontal challenge to the statutory or constitutional

application of § 1961 in such cases. See, e.g., id. (stating without discussion that § 1961

typically applies in diversity actions, while deciding whether parties had successfully

contracted to apply New York post-judgment interest rates); Schipani v. McLeod, 541

F.3d 158, 165 (2d Cir. 2008) (same, while deciding whether the district court erred when

it failed to award any post-judgment interest); D’Urso, 371 F.3d at 101-02 (same, while

deciding whether parties had successfully contracted to apply a 15.5% post-judgment

interest rate). Faced with such a challenge by Cappiello, we now hold that, under § 1961,

federal district courts must apply the federal rate of post-judgment interest to judgments

rendered in diversity actions, even when those judgments have been docketed in state

court, and that such application does not violate the Constitution.4

       By its plain terms, § 1961 applies to this case. As the district court noted, the

statute’s language applies to “any money judgment in a civil case recovered in a district

court,” 28 U.S.C. § 1961 (emphasis added), and it makes no exception for judgments

       4
         We do not hold, as ICD has urged us to, that § 1961 preempts state law such that
a state court asked to enforce a federal judgment would be required to apply the federal
rate of post-judgment interest rather than the rate prescribed by state law. Because, as
discussed below, § 1961 represents an exercise of Congress’s authority to regulate the
federal courts, it is not obvious that it purports to govern state court proceedings. At least
one New York appellate court has held that it does not. See Hartman v. Morganstern, 814
N.Y.S.2d 169, 171 (2d Dep’t 2006) (“[T]here is no case law or statute requiring a New
York State court to apply the Federal interest rate as opposed to the higher New York
State interest rate . . . .”). However, we have no occasion to address whether § 1961
preempts the application of state-law post-judgment interest rates in state court
proceedings because that question is not before us.

                                              7
rendered in diversity actions or judgments subsequently registered in state court. See

Forest Sales Corp. v. Bedingfield, 881 F.2d 111, 113 (4th Cir. 1989) (“[O]nly if diversity

actions were explicitly excluded should they be read out of the statute.”) (emphasis in

original); Nissho-Iwai Co. v. Occidental Crude Sales, Inc., 848 F.2d 613, 623 (5th Cir.

1988) (“The statute specifies no different treatment for diversity cases.”); cf. Lewis v.

Whelan, 99 F.3d 542, 545 (2d Cir. 1996) (“The award of post-judgment interest is

mandatory on awards in civil cases as of the date judgment is entered.”); Carte Blanche

(Singapore) Pte., Ltd. v. Carte Blanche Int’l, Ltd., 888 F.2d 260, 269 (2d Cir. 1989)

(“[Section 1961’s] terms do not permit of the exercise of judicial discretion in its

application.”) (internal quotation marks omitted).

       Cappiello argues that, despite its plain terms, applying § 1961 in diversity cases is

unconstitutional in light of the principle established in Erie R.R. Co. v. Tompkins, 304

U.S. 64 (1938) – that, as Cappiello puts it, “nothing in the Constitution afforded Congress

with a general law making authority over the states,” Appellant’s Br. 12 (emphasis

omitted). Erie, however, does not govern this case. The Supreme Court in Erie construed

the Rules of Decision Act, § 34 of the Judiciary Act of 1789, which provides: “The laws

of the several states, except where the Constitution or treaties of the United States or Acts

of Congress otherwise require or provide, shall be regarded as rules of decision in civil

actions in the courts of the United States, in cases where they apply,” 28 U.S.C. § 1652

(emphasis added). See Gasperini v. Ctr. for Humanities, Inc., 518 U.S. 415, 427 (1996)

(noting that “Erie read the Rules of Decision Act”); Erie, 304 U.S. at 72-73 (“[T]he

                                              8
purpose of [section 34] was merely to make certain that, in all matters except those in

which some federal law is controlling, the federal courts exercising jurisdiction in

diversity of citizenship cases would apply as their rules of decision the law of the

state . . . .”) (emphasis added).

       Where a valid federal statute applies, “[w]e do not wade into Erie’s murky

waters.” Shady Grove Orthopedic Assocs., P.A. v. Allstate Ins. Co., 130 S. Ct. 1431,

1437 (2010); cf. Hanna v. Plumer, 380 U.S. 460, 469-70 (1965) (noting respondent’s

“incorrect assumption that the rule of [Erie] constitutes the appropriate test of the validity

and therefore the applicability of a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure”). Rather, because §

1961 purports to govern, it applies if it is valid, even if, absent an applicable federal

statute, post-judgment interest would be calculated by the federal courts in accordance

with state law under Erie. See Burlington N. R.R. Co. v. Woods, 480 U.S. 1, 4-5 (1987)

(holding that a federal rule must be applied to matters within its scope if “it represents a

valid exercise of Congress’ rulemaking authority”). Therefore, unless Congress exceeded

its authority in adopting § 1961, the district court properly applied it here. See Hanna,

380 U.S. at 471 (“When a situation is covered by one of the Federal Rules . . . the court

has been instructed to apply the Federal Rule, and can refuse to do so only if the Advisory

Committee, [the Supreme] Court, and Congress erred in their prima facie judgment that

the Rule in question transgresses neither the terms of the Enabling Act nor constitutional

restrictions.”).

                                               9
       The Constitution vests Congress with the power “[t]o constitute Tribunals inferior

to the supreme Court” and “[t]o make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for

carrying into Execution” that power. U.S. Const. art. I., § 8, cls. 9, 18. Thus, while

“Congress has no power to declare substantive rules of common law applicable in a

state,” Erie, 304 U.S. at 78, “Erie and its offspring cast no doubt on the long-recognized

power of Congress to prescribe housekeeping rules for federal courts even though some

of those rules will inevitably differ from comparable state rules,” Hanna, 380 U.S. at 473.

A statute such as § 1961 that purports to “prescribe rules for the courts [Congress] has

created” falls within Congress’s Article I power so long as it “regulate[s] matters

rationally capable of classification as procedure,” Shady Grove, 130 S. Ct. at 1442

(internal quotation marks omitted); accord Hanna, 380 U.S. at 472 (“[T]he constitutional

provision for a federal court system (augmented by the Necessary and Proper Clause) . . .

includes a power to regulate matters which, though falling within the uncertain area

between substance and procedure, are rationally capable of classification as either.”).

       Section 1961 satisfies that standard, as its primary objective and effect is to

maintain the federal court system without altering the substantive rights and interests the

system adjudicates. Section 1961 was designed to make frivolous appeals less financially

advantageous to judgment debtors and thereby to eliminate such appeals from the federal

appellate courts’ dockets. See D’Urso, 371 F.3d at 102, citing S. Rep. No. 97-275, at 11,

                                             10
30 (1981).5 In addition, “the universal application of Section 1961 to all types of claims

makes for logical uniformity,” Kotsopoulos v. Asturia Shipping Co., 467 F.2d 91, 95 (2d

Cir. 1972), and therefore easy administration of all federal judgments no matter the nature

of the underlying claims. Congress has a legitimate interest in seeing that federal

judgments are enforced without intervening baseless appeals, and in doing so by means of

an easily administered, uniform rule.6

       5
          It might seem at first glance that the New York rate would do even more to deter
frivolous appeals. But on deeper examination, the federal rule is well calibrated to
Congress’s purpose. Before § 1961 was amended to create a uniform federal interest rate,
“the interest rate on judgments in the federal courts [was] based on varying state laws and
frequently [fell] below the contemporary cost of money.” S. Rep. No. 97-275, at 11.
Congress therefore amended § 1961 so that “a realistic and nationally uniform rate of
interest on judgments in the federal courts . . . would be keyed to the prime interest rate as
determined by the Internal Revenue Service” in order to “eliminate[] an economic
incentive . . . for a losing defendant to appeal a judgment and accumulate interest on the
judgment award at the commercial rate during the pendency of the appeal.” Id. Because
the prime interest rate rises and falls, rates calculated under § 1961 may be sometimes
higher and sometimes lower than fixed interest rates established under state law. Thus,
for example, New York’s 9% rate is substantially higher than the .25% rate calculated
here under § 1961, and it therefore creates an even greater disincentive for frivolous
appeals than does § 1961. It is up to Congress, however, to determine the rate that in its
judgment will best eliminate any influence that post-judgment interest rates might have
on a judgment debtor’s decision to appeal a federal judgment to a federal court of appeals.
And indeed, Congress’s choice was entirely rational: pegging the post-judgment interest
rate to the commercial interest rate eliminated both economic incentives and disincentives
to appeal based on any differential between the value of judgment debts and the value of
commercial investments.
       6
         Moreover, § 1961 achieves such uniformity without altering the substance of the
underlying claims. Unlike pre-judgment interest, post-judgment interest is not awarded to
make a plaintiff whole for his injury. Rather, “[o]nce a claim is reduced to judgment, the
original claim is extinguished and merged into the judgment; and a new claim, called a
judgment debt, arises.” Kotsopoulos, 467 F.2d at 95; accord FCS Advisors, 605 F.3d at
148; D’Urso, 371 F.3d at 102. Section 1961 acts only upon final federal judgments, not
upon the claims – whether state or federal – that give rise to, and are extinguished by,
them.

                                             11
       Accordingly, § 1961 is at least arguably procedural and therefore represents a

constitutional exercise of Congress’s Article I powers. See Burlington, 480 U.S. at 5

(observing that “[t]he constitutional constraints on the exercise of [Congress’s]

rulemaking authority define a test of reasonableness”). As that statute’s plain terms

govern the rate of post-judgment interest applicable in this case, the district court

correctly held that Cappiello is entitled to .25% post-judgment interest, and not the 9%

allowed under New York law, and that the federal judgment will be satisfied upon the

payment by ICD of the judgment amount plus the interest required by § 1961.

                                      CONCLUSION

       For the foregoing reasons, the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.

Q:

Wall on subfloor is load bearing or not?

So I want to remove a wall dividing my kitchen and dining room.  It is full height, so it could be load bearing.  The floor joists under it run in parallel to the wall, which leads me to think it is not load bearing.  The joists above it (i.e. the 2nd floor) run parallel to it as well.  This makes me think it is not load bearing.
Additionally, the footer of the wall is resting on the subfloor which is between two floor joists.  What I mean to say is, the wall is not sitting on any sort of support beneath it other than 5/8" ply.  It isn't directly over on of the parallel floor joists.
This really makes me think it is not load bearing.  Thoughts?

A:

The link that BMitch left in the comments is a good guideline. The top 2 answers cover a lot of stuff to check.
All in all the best way to check, since the ceiling will need repair anyway, is to remove enough drywall to see the top plate, which is still not a sure thing even if it is a double top plate. I have seen many homes built where non bearing walls had a double top plate. The ceiling needs to be opened up all along the length you plan to remove to see if there is anything bearing on it in the way of headers supporting something on the second floor. Stranger things have happened. It does not have to be a wide opening, just up the  nearest joist that runs parallel to the wall is ample. This will also let you see ductwork or plumbing and electrical that will need to be rerouted as well.
As a mention, even non bearing walls should have a joist or two under them since the subfloor usually will dip under the load of the non bearing wall. Then yes, if it is non bearing, you will be doing the first floor a favor...


It has Atom Z8500 on board and is possible to install Windows 10 (and, maybe, others?)
I plan to hardwire this via the HDMI output to my car's dash player and run Stereo tool for sound processing (and, maybe a modded Winamp with good crossfader).

Since it has 4 cores, wait a few days and then get the latest beta - I'm working on a processing framework redesign that can use more than 2 cores. (It appears to work now but there are probably still some bugs in it).

Hi sorry for the bump the topic, but I myself am using a small computer UP BOARD http://www.up-board.org/up/ plus sound card CMedia https://hifiduino.wordpress.com/2013/04/03/c- media-cm6631a-based-usb-2S-interface /, impressions and how best to generate MPX easily plus RDS. Delay on the border proven wrong. of course, I listen to the stream in stand alone mode. CPU usage of approximately 60-80%, RAM 1 Giga.

Did anyone try Stereo Tool with Celeron N3450 or J1900?
I'm especially interested if those CPUs are capable of running the Busybox preset, at least on 50% CPU quality.
Especially the N3450 is interesting to me because it runs below 10W TDP.

I did try on a Celeron N3150, and ist was *just* OK. Couldn't use all the fancy processing steps like DC and ND without reducing quality.

Thanks! What preset did you try? I'm especially interested in the Busybox and Phantasy FM presets (without FM modulation and delossifier for web radio streaming).
But if i understood correctly if I'm okay with say 40% quality then it will work and might even able to run a scheduler next to it (like RadioDJ).

Just for info, with some tweaking (slightly reducing the quality of the declipper and the composite clipper, not using Stokkemask, Quality at 40%, 'Ignore High Frequencies' on) I've managed to run full FM presets with stereo/rds and composite clipping on a Raspberry Pi 3.

This helps: Turn "MULTICORE" *OFF* (yes I said off!!) but set Threads to the number of threads in your pc.

Note: Latency will be considerably higher than on faster systems. If that's no problem, this should work.

Developments in biological psychiatry: clinical applications to the major psychoses.
Recent developments in biological psychiatry offer clinicians the opportunity to apply new techniques to the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. For instance, the dexamethasone suppression test has been used in the differential diagnosis of depression and high doses of propranolol have been reported to improve schizophrenic symptoms. Studies now suggest that lithium may be equally effective in treating schizoaffective and affective disorders. Receptor binding techniques provide new information on the mechanism of action of psychotropic drugs and allow the clinician to assess the likelihood of specific side effects being produced by drugs within a class. The author reviews other recent developments, including the use of computerized tomography with patients who exhibit schizophrenic behavior.

Q:

Dependency to use PLUS.API in android activity

mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
            .enableAutoManage(this, onConnectionFailedListener)

Flatulence After Anti-reflux Treatment (FAART) Study.
Flatulence is known to be a common side effect of laparoscopic fundoplication, yet the true incidence is unclear and its impact on patients' quality of life not well understood. This study aimed to assess the long-term incidence of flatulence, and its effect on quality of life, following fundoplication. All patients who underwent primary laparoscopic fundoplication between 1999 and 2009 were identified from a prospectively maintained institutional database. A cross-sectional analysis of post-operative gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life was performed using a symptom-specific questionnaire. Statistical analysis of outcomes stratified by sex and type of fundoplication was performed. 462 eligible patients were identified from the database, with follow-up obtained in 265 (57%). Median age at surgery was 53 (22-78) years. 137 patients (52%) were female. 138 (52%) underwent a 360° fundoplication, the remainder a partial fundoplication. At median follow-up of 11 (8-15) years, excessive flatulence was reported by 85%. Only 12% reported an adverse impact on social life, and 11% an adverse impact on quality of life. Flatulence was worse following a total than partial fundoplication, women reported more gas-related symptoms than men, yet neither sex nor wrap type had a significant impact on social life or quality of life. The majority of patients report excessive flatulence at long-term follow-up after anti-reflux surgery, yet the impact on social life and quality life was small. There was no evidence to support tailoring of wrap type by sex to avoid gas-related symptoms. The authors advocate that all patients understand the inevitable side effects of fundoplication to help manage expectations from surgery.


Take a donkey

Architect Lewis Mumford argued that the beauty of a particular house comes from building it on the most challenging feature of the land. If there is a depression in the land, says Mumford, use it. If a big boulder lies in the middle of the spot where the kitchen should go, put the boulder in the kitchen. If the land fails a percolation test because of a waterfall, put the waterfall in the living room—and build the house on stilts.

In other words, don't make beauty easy—make it tough. Palm Sunday offers a similar approach to spirituality. In his journey to Jerusalem, Jesus makes a choice for the difficult. He makes a big ceremony out of it, with the first seven verses of the gospel text describing the mode of conveyance, and the next four, the event itself. The prelude to Holy Week is long.

Donna Schaper

Donna Schaper is senior minister at Judson Memorial Church in New York City.

Why does the destination get such little attention in our lives, and why do the means of getting there so frequently absorb all of the attention? We spend a lot of time figuring out how to get wherever we're going—and often the answer is "You can't get there from here." Other times the answer is "Take a donkey." Donkeys traverse rough terrain; difficulty and donkeys go together. The destination may be beauty or world peace, but you'll need a donkey. Means matter; if you have no means, your ends are probably fatally flawed.

The great ceremony of the donkey and the palms and the arrival all signal that an important decision has been made. The servant has set himself on the road to kingship by way of the difficult ground transportation of servanthood. The boy from Bethlehem is on his way to Jerusalem. Jesus is not going to settle for being human; divinity is his destination.

He marks that divinity by a paradox in triplets. One is the humble king: to be great and godlike, he says, we must become small and humble. The second is the ironic nature of praise: all those cloaks and field branches go on the ground—the people want to worship Jesus, but he is not impressed by their praise. A third is the connection of life to death: to have a great life, we must be prepared for death. We can have anything we can let go of—and that includes our heartbeats.

The psalm prepares us for paradox: the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. What we think is going to be true is not going to be true. Watch out for your assumptions about both God and salvation: God and salvation may show up riding on an ass. They will not be interested in kings or praise. They will choose a kind of death on behalf of a kind of new life.

Isaiah talks about the servant setting his face "like flint" against his enemies and going out from them. The gospel, however, is about a different sort of journey. While the first servant sets his back against those who struck him, the second travels to where they live. It looks like a big fancy parade, but most of the motion is actually internal. Jesus goes inside himself and makes a decision for Jerusalem and then for the temple. From his heart to the heart of the city to the heart of his religion; this is the destination of the donkey.

Go to the hardest spot in the land and build. Flip your assumptions. Hire a donkey and go as deeply as you can into difficulty. From there you will rise.
