UTC Mocs to try D'Eddric Williams at linebacker | Times Free Press Local
UTC Mocs to try D'Eddric Williams at linebacker
Freshman linebacker D'Eddric Williams bench presses during training with teammates in the Wolford Family Strength and Conditioning Center on UTC's campus.
D'Eddric Williamsfor about a month.
An early enrollee who graduated in December from Hillcrest (Ala.) High School, Williams arrived on UTC's campus the day before the start of spring semester. After a whirlwind start to his time in Chattanooga, life has started to settle down into a non-overwhelming routine -- go to class, lift weights, study and hang out with new teammates.
It wasn't always so comfortable.
"When I first got here I was like, 'Oh, Lord, big mistake,'" Williams said. "All my friends from home called me and they were partying and enjoying their senior year, while I'm here and a freshman that's trying to figure out school, weights and football."
"Being on your own, having to get up and go to school on your own," he said, adding that his earliest class is at 9:25 a.m. "That's not too bad, but then I have like an hour and a half before my next class, so I have time to kill, which is different from high school."
"Last week," he said, laughing. "The first couple of weeks I had to take my schedule everywhere."
This is the second year in a row that UTC has had an early enrollee, a rarity in the Football Championship Subdivision. Center Shaun Hill enrolled last January, but he was unable to get a leg up during spring practice because of shoulder surgery.
An Alabama Class 6A all-state linebacker at Hillcrest, where he played for former UTC quarterback and Dalton High School coach Adam Winegarden, Williams is listed in UTC's signing day bios at 6-foot-2, 240 pounds. He said Wednesday that he's up to "247 or 248."
Because of his size, many people expected the Mocs to move Williams immediately to defensive end or tackle, but he will start out at linebacker when spring practice begins later this month.
"I know everybody's putting him down as a defensive end, but if he can move -- because he looked good at linebacker in high school -- if he can move then we'll keep him there," Mocs coach Russ Huesman said. "And if he can't, then the natural progression is to move him down [to defensive end]."
The original start date for spring practice was Feb. 24, but Huesman said it likely will be Feb. 27 or later due to the recent departures of offensive line coach Geep Wade and defensive line coach Jimmy Lindsey. The Mocs could practice with the present crop of defensive coaches, but not without an offensive line coach, Huesman said.
Despite his size, Williams is playing catch-up in the weight room. Because he was trying to graduate early he was unable to take the football class that most players take, which limited his time doing strength and conditioning.
Williams said he would prefer to stay at linebacker, but he'll play wherever the coaches needed him. They made it clear that end was an option when they recruited him, he said.
"If they put me at end I'll make the best out of it," he said.
Regardless of which position becomes his home, Williams will have a head start on the other 14 players the Mocs signed on Feb. 1. By the time they report to preseason practice this summer, Williams will have had 15 spring practices and about eight months of collegiate-level weight training.

For my main course, I went with the 8oz Filet Mignon with Mushroom Sauce and White Bean Mamposteao Rice (Filete de Res 8oz con Salsa de Setas y Mamposteao de Habichuelas Blancas). The Filet Mignon was tastefully seasoned and perfectly cooked (medium-rare for me of course). The luscious mushroom sauce with hints of wine complemented the dish beautifully. The Mamposteao was amazing!

What's more premium than premium?Well, considering that the HTC One M8 is probably the best Android phone you can get out there (OnePlus One users might argue that, but nevertheless), a limited edition offer on HTC's flagship might be the only improvement you can get barring a next-gen upgrade. So HTC gives you a limited editiom HTC One M8, with which it worked with Singapore-based art studio PHUNK to give it an…
No doubt about it, the design is an enhancement to an already premium-feel phone like the One M8. To partner your new back design, PHUNK also rolled out a couple of wallpapers to match. No sense in having a great design on the back and put your favorite LOLcat wallpaper upfront, right?

Cloth & Paper Stationery Box Review – March 2017
ByAnna ReillyMay 5, 2017 | 4 comments
The Cloth & Paper Stationery Subscription Box is a monthly stationery subscription box from lifestyle and stationery shop, Cloth & Paper.
In addition to the Stationery Subscription Box, Cloth & Paper offers a pens-and-pencils-focused subscription called "Penspiration," as well as a subscription that's the two boxes combined into one.
With the Stationery subscription (what I'm reviewing today), you can expect 5-8 items, including desk items like paper pads, pens, notecards, and journals, as well as some occasional lifestyle goodies. They focus on much-loved brands, too, including CLEANSE by Lauren Napier, MUSE BEAUTY, Smitten On Paper, Rifle Paper Co, Studio Sarah London, Katie Leamon, Tools to LiveBy, and their own designs.
The Products: 5-8 stationery (and sometimes, lifestyle finds) from notable brands, as well as from Cloth & Paper's collection.
I love the tidy, minimalist design of this box and its ephemera. So many stationery boxes are bright and flowery—I found this crisp, modern approach really refreshing.
On the back of that black postcard is a list of the products inside. Again, I dig the sleek, italicized text and the black and white palette. I also enjoy how they share a bit about what makes each item special and even how to put the pieces to work.
Everything comes packed inside this cotton drawstring bag.
Polished Brass Tray - Value $16.90
I love adding metallic touches to my home decor, and that goes double for gold pieces. This tray (made by Cloth & Paper) is about 7 inches long, 3.25 inches wide, and has a lovely weight to it. My desk is usually the opposite of glamorous, but this shallow tray adds a pop of class amidst the moments of clutter. It's also a great catch-all for smaller office items like stickies and clips. One thing to note—this super-shiny tray catches fingerprints like nobody's business, so be prepared to need to wipe it down every so often!
Brass Twist Pen - Value $2.67?
I couldn't find an item quite like this on the Cloth & Paper site shop, so I just linked to a similar product I found. Hooray for more gold! And I like that they package it in a velvety sleeve.
This twist pen is so satisfying to write with. It's really nothing different from a typical ballpoint in terms of writing—black ink, typical weight to the line—but the slender pen is delicate to hold, and the ink flows smoothly through the ballpoint. And it's gold! I know that seems so superficial, but it really did make scribbling down notes feel professional, polished, and fun.
Brass Clip - Value $7.90
I've never had a clip that wasn't attached to a clipboard before, and I'm definitely a clip fanatic now. I've used this Cloth & Paper clip to attach papers to notepads, to hold prudent mail together... I'm not ashamed to say I'm using it as a chip clip for a bag of pretzels right now, haha! It's so versatile and useful. Same note as with the other brass items, though—be prepared for fingerprints!
Brass Hanging Ruler - Value $12.90
More metallics! I've been in need of a ruler for a little while now, but I didn't expect I'd get one that looked so sophisticated!
This Cloth & Paper ruler also is prone to picking up fingerprints, but it's so handy that I don't mind. The info card frames this as a "hanging" ruler, suggesting that you store it hanging from a little hook. I don't have a hook to spare in my office as it stands, but I can at least say that the idea of a hanging something has turned me on to the unused vertical storage space I have by my desk... hmm.... time for a room refresh?
Foiled Daily Planner Pad - Value $12.90
This is probably the most stylish scratchpad I've ever had, haha! The pages of this Cloth & Paper pad are actually the weight (and basically, the dimensions) of a postcard, which makes the to-dos I write on each one feel all the more important. I also like the routine of circling the day at the top of the pad, filling in the specific date at the bottom, and planning out my day (perhaps with my gold pen?) on the crisp pink paper. Does it seem almost unnecessarily fancy for logging the day's to-dos? A little. But in that way, it makes the task fun.
Verdict: This is my first Cloth & Paper Stationery Box, and I really loved it. The metallics and minimalist aesthetic are right up my alley (I wonder if that's something that will stay the same from box to box, or if the vibe is more contingent on what brands are featured inside...). My qualm, however, is the cost. Maybe I've been ruined by the TJ Maxx stationery section, but $12.90 for a ruler seems a little expensive. The value I found for the box was just over $53.00, which again, seems like a lot. Shipping is free, but the box is still $38.00. That's more than I'd like to spend on stationery each month, even though I loved everything I got. I'll be eager to see what they send next month (any different brands or unique items).
Posted in UK Subscription Box Reviews
FINALLY!!! This sub is exactly what I have been searching for but had been unable to find to date. It contains minimalist, sophisticated items I can actually use in a professional office (no stickers, no glitter, no notebooks or mugs with “cute” sayings like “hustle” or “boss lady” or anything like that). Yahoo!
I don’t disagree with Anna though that the price is kind of high (TJ Maxx stationery has spoiled me too!) but I’m so pleased that this company has actually considered that at least some sub box addicts work in more conservative office environments and delivered a box filled with very usable items with wide appeal. Love it! I’m in!
Thanks Anna for the introduction and review!
This is the sub I was hoping you guys would review! this is #1 on my wish list. However, I want the dual sub of Penspiration and Stationery. I’m hoping MSA will get a deal sometime in the near future. I will cancel every beauty box for this one.

The 27 or 28 utilities LCRA has put up for sale, flung from Matagorda County on the coast to San Saba in the Hill Country, include the West Travis County Regional Water System, which serves about 7,000 residents directly in Hays County and others through water supplies and utility districts that buy water wholesale.
Hays County Pct. 4 Commissioner Ray Whisenant, a Dripping Spring Republican who represents the county on tn’s board, said the UDC offered only as much money as it estimated users of the systems could repay through revenue bonds backed by future user fees. The corporation was formed by Hays County and the cities of Bee Cave, Leander, West Lake Hills and Sunrise Beach and 17 other entities includingWater Supply Corp.
Answering questions at Tuesday’s commissioners court session from two activists opposing the county’s pursuit of the endeavor, Whisenant repeatedly said the court has no intention of committing property tax revenue to fund the acquisition.
“I know of no consideration, I’ve made no offer, and we are not legally obligated to commit ad valorem tax funds from Hays County to the UDC or for any purpose associated the LCRA divestiture,” Whisenant said.
Whisenant and other officials said disclosing the bid amount could jeopardize the coalition’s efforts but said the number would eventually be disclosed, after LCRA chooses a buyer. They also offered few details on how the deal would play out should the Central Texas UDC prevail in its bid to buy the utilities. Whisenant said the preferred scenario involves breaking the system into components to be owned by various water utilities or end users who rely on LCRA for water and wastewater.
The 32 utilities LCRA started with cost the authority $300 million to acquire and build, and are falling short of breaking even by about $3 million a year, authority officials have said. Water/wastewater utilities are generally expected to be self-sufficient. LCRA decided in 2008 to divest itself of all water/wastewater utilities and focus on long-range water availability planning.
Whisenant noted that LCRA has already sold off four or five of the utilities, leaving 27 or 28 in the current bid package.
Hays County has contributed about $65,000 to prepare and submit the UDC’s indicative and final bids to LCRA. Commissioners allocated the money from the county’s LCRA Service Fee Fund, for which the county anticipated revenues of $200,000 this year. The fund is composed of money paid to the county by LCRA under a contract negotiated in 2001 when LCRA laid a water pipeline along US 290 from the Colorado River.
Pct. 1 Commissioner Debbie Gonzales Ingalsbe, whose area includes much of the eastern Kyle area, said her support is contingent on taxpayers not served by the utility not being on the hook for buying it.
“… we are not committing our taxpayers to any portion of that cost,” Ingalsbe said.
Pct. 2 Commissioner Mark Jones did not comment in open court about the matter but has consistently opposed the county’s involvement in the effort.
The Hays County Water and Sewer Authority, originally formed in 2000 but dormant for most of the decade except as a vehicle for the county to collect the LCRA service fee, has recently been dusted off and could play a role in operation of the utilities if the coalition is successful in buying them.
Whisenant said the ideal situation would be for the water and sewer authority and other interested parties to form a public utility agency through which the the West Travis County Regional Water System could be owned and operated. Whisenant said this would allow for more reasonable water user fees.
“If the UDC purchases (the LCRA systems) and we don’t participate in a regional authority, then the next option is whether the (water and sewer authority) would want to exercise its ability to own and contract with Travis County’s side of that general operating area to provide treated surface, potable water to Hays County through the infrastructure required to do that,” Whisenant said.
The West Travis County Regional Water System serves an estimated 20,380 people in Hays and Travis Counties, including 7,000 water users in northern Hays County. It is also the only obvious water source for much of fast-growing Hays County, especially the affluent Dripping Springs area along U.S. 290. LCRA’s holdings do not include any wastewater systems in Hays County. The LCRA has invested about $140 million in its water system in Hays and western Travis counties, LCRA representative Robert Cullick has said.
Commissioners created HCWSA in 2000 “to facilitate planning for water and sewer utility facilities that are not currently served by or located within a municipality, certificated water or sewer utility,” in the words of its unanimously-approved enabling resolution. Like the Central Texas UDC, the water and sewer authority could not levy taxes or financially obligate Hays County taxpayers beyond the issuance of revenue bonds secured by Hays County users of the LCRA water system.
Whisenant said the UDC cannot spend county tax dollars for any purpose and taxpayers are not liable for any decisions made by the corporation.
Two members of the public attending Tuesday’s commissioners court meeting evinced skepticism about the wisdom of the county’s participation in the UDC and the bid for the LCRA systems, and pressed Whisenant for assurances that property taxpayers would be insulated from the costs.
“Under no circumstances am I interesting in connecting financial responsibility (for the bid) to the taxpayers,” said Charles O’Dell, a Dripping Springs area resident who styles himself a taxpayer watchdog.
In reply to their opposition to the use of county funds for activities associated with the UDC, Whisenant said Hays County cannot be legally liable for the repayment of revenue bonds issued by the UDC.

who I have yet to discover has any connection at all with the RSGS – not because she died before its conception, but because she was having far too much fun acquiring the spiritual powers of a Tibetan monk and then creeping into Lhasa in a bid to see the Dalai Lama. In terms of paranormal experiences, Alexandra seems to have been in a league of her own. She didn’t just encounter mysterious phenomena, she crafted her own – quite literally – by conjuring a ‘tulpa’ or ethereal being into the real world. (While you might consider this to be a souped-up version of an imaginary friend, for Alexandra it was quite a serious business.) At first the apparition took the form of a benevolent monk who became her travelling companion; but within a few months the monk had turned quite nasty and Alexandra was compelled to reabsorb him into her imagination, for the sake of her own safety and that of her fellow travellers. </s> Published 04/22/2019 02:47:40 pm at 04/22/2019 02:47:40tempur flex supreme twin xl mattress white tempur pedic mattress cover amazing mattress topper king inch gel tempur pedic mattress cover bed cover mattress pad large size of mattress topper magnificent bedroom mattress tempur pedic mattress cover.

In today’s modern life kitchens are practical, fun and welcoming. Modern kitchen features are cosmopolitan colored and contemporary components. Kitchens are more like just a small house are the rest of the house, furnish with different furniture item like cabinets, dining table with complete seating sets, wood flooring, and artwork.
Clear and keep the countertops clear as clutter starts at the countertop. The countertop is used as a place of keeping dirty dishes, magazine’s, mail, keys and all of life’s miscellanea.
Keep all your things in the cabinets. Practically kitchen look neater when all belongings are kept behind closed cabinet doors in arranging manner rather than stores out in the open.
Have you ever listen about the one-in-one-out rule. For clutter-free kitchen use, this rule means for everything you bring into the kitchen space you need something else has to get taken out. By using the above rule you can easily maintain a healthy and best balance, and the “stuff” doesn’t begin to take over and over.
Almost all fridges contain a container area use this area for storing cheese, yogurt, sour cream, milk, and cream etc.
Arrange each and everything according to the task so that there’s as little unnecessary movement as possible.
Divide the tension rode in the kitchen instead of stacking and keeping your platters, oven trays, cutting boards.

How to Design a Perfect Home Garage? </s> Has political intelligence in India’s leadership collapsed completely? Last month, Chattisgarh’s Chief Minister, Raman Singh, announced what he described as "the most innovative and humanitarian scheme any State Government has ever introduced": the decision to distribute ‘free footwear’ to a million tribals. Interestingly, this scheme was announced in the context of his Government’s failure to live up to its electoral promise to gift a cow to each tribal family in the State as a poverty alleviation measure. The cost of the ‘free footwear’ project is estimated in the region of Rs. 10 crore. The funds are reportedly to be diverted either from the tribal development plan or cooperative societies handling tendu collection.
This harebrained scheme replaces another that was not particularly astute in its conception or successful in its execution: the promise to distribute a cow to each ‘adivasi’ family. In the sixteen months preceding March 2005, Singh’s

The first reference I can remember to Baby is on Young Thug’s “Thief in the Night” in 2015, right around the time he was going to jail. What was your guys’ relationship with Baby, and Thug’s relationship with Baby, at that point?P: I already had a relationship with Lil Baby before he even went to prison. Baby has been around me since he was maybe, like, 15. My best friend sort of helped raise Baby. Baby been around, he was around before Migos. He just wasn’t an artist.And I’ve been knowing Thug since Thug was young. All of us from Atlanta round about the same side. Everybody sort of knows all the same people.In the 2017 profile of Coach in The New Yorker, Baby is casually mentioned as one of the artists you guys were developing. But really the focus in that piece is Migos, and Yachty is the next guy that’s up and coming.In the documentary, Thug is presented as more of a life mentor and a childhood friend. There’s not a lot of discussion about how Thug might have influenced Baby’s music. You guys had a front row seat for Baby’s development. Was there a lot of collaboration between them as Baby was finding his sound and figuring out his style?P: Well, I mean, Baby used to be in the studio with them all the time, so I’m pretty sure that he was observing and watching.. They definitely got two different styles to me, and they are two great artists in their own lane, and that created their own flow and their own style.Early on, as he spoke in the documentary, when he first started recording he was with Marlo. They were both feeding off each other, and were new at rapping. And also, you gotta remember Baby was in the studio with Migos, and Rich the Kid, PeeWee Longway. He was in the studio everyday, observing these guys. So in my mind, I would think he’s just soaking up the work ethic, just seeing how everybody works because he was around them everyday.Coach, in the documentary you identify “My Dawg” as this moment where you see Baby level up. Aside from hitting on a great hook, do you think that there were specific things in the flow that signified his maturation?Coach: He found his pocket, he found his swag. We put out a couple of projects from him, but it’s like that moment, “Oh, shit, he has arrived”. And you can hear all the confidence. Because you got to understand, when we started really developing him, P took it upon himself like, I’m going to develop this kid. Because like he said, he’s been knowing Baby since he was a kid, and he wanted to give Baby this opportunity to get out the streets. So the first projects, Baby might go cut ten records, and P will say, oh, give me them ten records, and went and put a project out. So he’s building the confidence as we’re putting projects out.

The crown of thorns of Medina Sidonia
Meadow in the outskirts of Medina Sidonia. Striking the attention the fence of aligned thorny nopal cactus with the olive trees of the bottom that they prevent that the cattle escapes. I made this photo 3 years ago in my second travel to Cadiz. It had rained in abundance and the vegetation was magnificent.
The occupation of the hill began with the first tartesic establishments at the end of the Age of Bronze, happening through the colonization of the Phoenicians coming from the distant Sidon who gave the same name him to the new city, followed by the Romans who called it Asida Caesarina Augusta. In the later visigotic domination was elevated to the category of capital of province with the name of Asidona. In year 712, after the Muslim conquest, it received the definitive name of Medina Sidonia and was capital of the Cora of the same name for more than 550 years. Finally, in 1264 it was reconquered by the Christian troops of King Alfonso X el Sabio and served as military base for the conquest as the nazari Kingdom of Granada. In 1440 it happened to be property of Dukes of Medina Sidonia. The present Duke is number XXII of the saga.
Rural way of Medina Sidonia with the white earth like the snow and the ebullient fence of thorny nopal cactus of the right that serves to contain the cattle. The photo is done in the month of May of the 2008. The yellow flowers are seen crowning the shovels of the nopal that belong to the Mexican species Opuntia amyclaea.
Near 24 years ago in the outskirts of Medina Sidonia, when already I gonna, I found a small cactus similar to the typical nopal Opuntia ficus-indica but much more thorny. It would at the most have a dozen of shovels clearly dehydrated by the extreme drought that supported that year the earth of Cadiz. I did not see more nopal cactus. I suppose that few years ago they had begun to seed them as fence and had still not become the uncontrollable present plague.
Dangerous thorns of a shovel of nopal Opuntia amyclaea. After painful puncture of the long thorns the small ones that are very fragile and with small inverted hooks nail that act like a hook. When trying to extract they are broken them with facility and they are nailed within the epidermis, being able to cause an infection. It is understood since these nopal cactus are used like fences to contain the cattle that grazes in the meadows.
Impressive fence of nopal to the side of a way. Many wild plants take advantage of the protection the thorns of this American cactus to live calm safe from maw on the cows, ewes and goats.
One of these plants is the gorgeous Aristolochia boetica. Their strange flowers are shown between the thorns to attract the pollenizer insects.
Another plant that grows next to the nopal is the poisonous Solanum linnaeanum (synonymous of Solanum sodomeum). This South African plant that has colonized all the Mediterranean region does not need the protection of the nopal cactus, because the animal know by instinct that is very toxic.
Beautiful flower and mature fruit of the South African Solanum linnaeanum, very frequent next to the nopal of the rural ways.
Gorgeous flower of Opuntia amyclaea when open. Its salmon color passes to an alive yellow lemon color when the flower is completely open.
After the fertilization by the pollen transported by the bees, the ovary becomes an appetizing yellow fruit. The small dehydrated leaf that I took in Medina Sidonia flew with me until Majorca. I seeded it immediately and in few days it took roots, it rehydrated, it brought forth new shovels and in two years it gave me the first fruit, the one that you see in the photo. My exaggerated curiosity to prove new things took to me to peel it and to eat it. I assure to you that it was very taste. Its candy and substantial greenish pulp do not have anything to envy to the delicious pulp of the nopal Opuntia ficus-indica.
To peel a prickly pear requires a special technique to avoid the irritating spines. My maternal grandfather knew well like doing it. Whenever the grandsons were going to see the parents of my mother who lived in the field, my grandfather gave to us with a stuffing of prickly pears. He had fruits of orange, mulberry and white color.
He had long pliers done with two united branches of olive tree in a point by a nail as a scissors. In the end of the pliers the two branches had been hollowed in the form of buckets and with them he took the fruits one by one, he put them in a bucket with water, he removed it and them with a wood so that the spines followed and at the same time those softened that had not followed.
He had such masters soon peeling those that hurried more than we eating them and we had one fruit in each hand and we did not give supply.
When no longer we could eat more, one for him was peeled and threw the skins to the pigs. A spectacle was everything to see eat them raised on the wall of piggery. The thorns did not seem to matter to them absolutely. He had several pigs of Majorcan black race and a few of North American white race.
The pulp of the fruits of the Opuntia amyclaea of Medina Sidonia has a tuna clearly almost white green color. For my taste these fruits are refreshinger than those of the Opuntia ficus-indica of my maternal grandfather.
All the fruits of the cactus of the Opuntia sort are foods, are not poisonous, although some are very insipid or very acid. Those of the Opuntia linguiformis are very showy by their intense garnet color and are ideal to decorate a salad of exotic fruits, although they are very acid and with little sweetness.
Fruits of Opuntia linguiformis after washing them with water to retire the thorns.
Its intense garnet color dyes the fingers during several days. The cold fruits know better good, reason why it agrees to awhile put them within the refrigerator before consuming them. They are possible to be eaten to the natural or with a little sugar.
Fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica. The left one of orange color is the most frequent variety. The garnet variety is more difficult to find. Both taste equal.
The cactus of the Opuntia sort have become true uncontrollable plagues in all the regions of the world with Mediterranean and semi-arid climate. The frugivorous animals and the birds especially disperse to the seeds with their excrements far from the plant mother. They like much to colonize oriented rocky slopes to the south.
Here we see a Opuntia ficus-indica been born from a seed taken by a bird on these rocks burned by the sun in the coast the northwest of Majorca.
In Medina Sidonia the Opuntia amyclaea has been feral from the plants of the fences and has surrounded the city of a true crown of thorns in less than three decades. It is practically impossible to control it and much less to eradicate it. It already comprises of the asidonense flora. In my last visit three years ago the city had changed drastically, it had modernized and embellished. The surrounding field followed just as 24 years ago except in the edges of the property and the edges of the rural ways where the Opuntias the owners have become absolute.
One is asked who serves to whom and the answer is very simple. The Opuntias, like other many worked plants, use the man to proliferate and to colonize new territories, really, to survive and to perpetuate their species. We think we took advantage of them, we called them useful by its fruits, its grains, its beautiful flowers, its fibers, its wood, its tubercles and in fact are they who of a very intelligent and subtle way use to us blatantly in their own benefit.
The carob tree is original of the Eastern Mediterranean. The Phoenicians and the Arabs extended their culture by all the Mediterranean river basin. It is a very resistant tree that supports very well the drought and the torrid sun of the summer. It prefers the good drained limestone grounds since their roots do not support flooded lands. The micorrhizal symbiontic fungi that surround their roots need to breathe to live. The static water prevents the soil oxygenation and drowns to the symbiotic fungi. Without filamentous and white hyphae of the fungus, the carob tree cannot absorb the water and the minerals of the ground and the nodules by the roots cannot fix the nitrogen of the air. It is understood since this enormous leguminous support better one releases drought that the water suspended in its roots, which would drown the micorrhizal fungi and it would suppose the death of the tree by starvation.
This dependency easily verifies when seeding seeds of Ceratonia siliqua in individual flowerpots. If the land of the flowerpot lacks spores of the symbiotic fungus, the small tree just born, after consuming the nutrients that the seed contained, stops growing, yellows, it languishes slowly and it ends up dying. In order to avoid that the young carob tree dies literally of hunger, it is sufficient with adding to the flowerpot a little earth picked up of underneath an old carob tree that contains thousands of spores of the symbiotic fungus, which germinate quickly, his hyphae surrounds the roots of the dying little tree and in few days the miracle takes place. The apical yolk appears vigorously and its growth is spectacular. If a few months later migrates the little tree to a greater flowerpot, is verified like its roots are surrounded by a species of white spiderwebs that smell of good earth. They are hyphae of the micorrhizal symbiontic fungi. Also small stuck gray small balls are the roots. They are the nodules locking devices of atmospheric nitrogen that contribute natural installment to the carob tree.
Still immature carob beans in the middle of the summer. In this state they contain many bitter and astringent tannins that they avoid that the herbivores eat them before their complete maturation.
Carod seeds have a very uniform size and a weight. This characteristic drew attention of the old Arab and Jewish jewelers, used who them as unit of weight for their transactions of gold and precious stones. KIRAT called it with the Arab word = Carat. From KERATONIA comes the scientific name there to him = Ceratonia, that is to say, tree of the carats.
The carob trees can be masculine, feminine and hermaphrodite. Generally the nurserymen reject the masculine feet or graft by the methods of small shield or Majorcan chip with feminine or hermaphrodite yolks. Knowing him sexuality the carob tree is intelligent intercalary some masculine copy in the plantations from feminine carod trees.
Masculine inflorescence of Ceratonia siliqua. The red central stem is seen very well del that they leave the cleared nectaries, each one of as surrounded by 6 stamens and its respective yellow anthers. The abundant nectar of the nectaries attracts the pollenizer insects, coverall to the bees that produce an excellent dark honey. I recommend to extend the photo with a double click.
Inflorescences of a feminine carob tree, with the flowers without petals that leave a red central stem. Each flower has a nectary in its base, del that slightly arises pistilo curved and finished in a heavy sticky stigma, on whose surface stick grains of pollen transported by the bees.
Another feminine inflorescence at the end of summer, with the flowering slightly more delayed than the previous ones, because the nectaries without unfolding and nectar are still seen.
Inflorescences of a hermaphrodite carob tree with stamens and pistils distributed throughout the red central stem. In order to avoid the self-fertilization, in the first place the feminine flowers with their nectaries filled with rich nectar are opened to attract the bees with the body covered with the pollen of the masculine flowers of another carob tree.
Another hermaphrodite inflorescence in feminine phase. Masculine stamens remains without developing with closed anthers to avoid the self-fertilization. The feminine stigmata wait for grains of pollen taken by the bees. Once the majority of feminine flowers has been fertilized, the stigmata are closed hermetically, their nectaries stop producing nectar and the growth of the small fruits begins.
After the fertilization of the feminine flowers, the masculine phase in the hermaphrodite inflorescences begins. Stamens are extended and the anthers of their ends are opened and begun to disperse pollen. In their base the nectaries produce abundant nectar so that the bees go and the pollen grains take on their body towards the stigma of the feminine flowers of another carob tree, feminine ones as hermaphrodite ones.
After several decades of declivity in their culture, in the last years become to seed young, single or mixed carob trees with olive trees, almond trees and fig trees, because its operation is a business with few expenses and little manpower that can be profitable as of the second decade of the life of the trees.

From Prev. Owner:My first goal was to make the car reliable and safe so I began by rebuilding the front and rear brake, shocks front and rear, ll rubber including body mounts and seals, oil springs, nd gas tank.The engine,which is the original block, as rebuilt and bored .030” when I got the car. Upon tearing down the engine, found that #7 cylinder had a little scratch on it so just to be safe (and get a touch more power) I bored it to .060” which is more than acceptable for an Olds 455 ( .080 is typically the limit) because of the high nickel content which aids the strength. The car had the wrong heads on it when I got it so I searched out the correct “E” head and had the 3 angle valve grind done with all new valve train. I replaced the original cam with a newer design that had the same lift and duration characteristics of the 1970 W-30 automatic because I wanted to maintain vacuum for brakes and vacuum controls. I replace the distributor with an electronic ignition. The car came with the wrong carb so I sourced out the correct 7040251 Rochester and it is on the vehicle. I replaced the old headers with jet coated new ones. I did not have the car dynoed but the shop that built it speculates that it is probably putting out about 400hp at the crank. The interior has been replaced with original reproductions - carpeting, eats, eadliner, oor panels. I sourced out a new dash to replace the original which had a very small crack in it. 99% of the world would probably have never even noticed it but I wanted this done right. The transmission that shipped with the car was a Turbo 350 which is incorrect. I sourced a correct case for the TH 400 and had it rebuilt and had a shift kit and a 2500 stall converter installed. Changing from the incorrect 350 back to the 400 required a new driveshaft. Since the car has only about 1200 miles on it since the engine/transmission, have the transmission set to shift at 3500 rpm so I haven’t Hot rodded it at all. I have manually shifted it to 4500 rpm max and car was still pulling but that was my limit. The differential is a numbers matching, 2 bolt, .23 posi.The electrical wiring has been replaced with reproduction specific to the car and is 100% reliable.
The original GM air-conditioning compressor has been rebuilt and blows cold with R-134A. Also a new A/C condenser/radiator was installed at the same time.
The odometer shows a little over 63,000 but was replaced by the previous owner so I do not know an exact mileage. The body is straight and true and the car is just very sorted.
If you have read down this far hopefully you have realized that this thing is not only the real deal but a very very nice car. I am selling it at no reserve and whoever gets this vehicle will be 100% satisfied. Check my feedback rating. I have bought/sold several Big Ticket items on eBay and have tried to portray this car to the best of my ability. The car is listed locally as well so I reserve the right to pull the listing at any time. If you are really interested shoot me a line and I will gladly discuss the vehicle with you. I have included a lot of images here so you can be sure you see what you are getting and can send you a "walk around" video so you can see/hear the vehicle running. Just shoot me a pm with your email or a number I can text it to.
Thanks for reading this novel and Cheers! Someone is really going to be getting something great here..... Please contact me with any questions.

AP U.S Classes Go Back In Time
To commemorate Midwood’s 75th anniversary, Mr. Eugene Resnick’s A.P. U.S. History and U.S. History classes are undertaking a project to document Midwood and America’s history over the past 40 years.
This same project was done many years ago to commemorate the 35th birthday of Midwood High School. The AP United States History classes in 1976 created a book that detailed each year since Midwood’s opening. The students compared what happened in a specific year, with what happened around the United States. This year, Midwood students are doing the same thing, but for the past 40 years since the last book came out.
“It’s an interesting and unique project,” said Nicky Chen ’17. “As students work together to reassemble and recreate history that happened right here, we learn a lot that a regular history class wouldn’t even mention.”
The book the class creates will accompany the Jubilee Celebration in an anniversary weekend on October 15. A banquet at the Grand Prospect Hall will be held with many alumnus and faculties attending, ranging from the graduating classes from 1941. People will also be visiting Midwood for breakfast, performances, tours, and meeting the Hornets of today.

Coal Power Plants are city improvements in the Power category. They are relatively cheap to build and operate, but create a lot of pollution.
Coal Power Plants cost $5,000 and no resources to build. Each turn they use 0.1 Coal per 100 Infrastructure that they're powering and $100. This adds up to 1.2 Coal per 100 Infrastructure and $1,200 a day.
Coal Power Plants add 8 points to your Pollution Index.
Coal Power Plants are great for new nations on Continents with Coal. They're cheap to build and operate, making them the go-to power plant along with Oil Power Plants.
Each Coal Power Plant can only power up to 500 Infrastructure levels. Once a city reaches 500.01 or greater Infrastructure it requires at last 2 Coal Power Plants to stay powered.
To fuel a power plant, you must have the applicable resource available in your nation's inventory. For example, in a city with 1 Coal Power Plant and 500 Infrastructure, you'd need at least 0.5 Coal on hand for your city to have power. Your power plants do not use the Coal you produce every turn; instead they rely on what's available in your nation currently.

The event began with a Lions Centennial March Past.
The Awards Ceremony took place between 2-4:30PM, post which we were served awesome high tea. Little did we knew that we are yet to witness the best. It all began after the awards with gala dance performances from India's Got Talent Winners and Participants like Saravana Dhanapal who kept us mesmerised with their performance. Singer Sreeram who is known for his penchant towards SPB sang few songs.
The centre of attraction was our Governor PMJF Ln Er T M Gunaraja who was on his toes welcoming the esteemed guests and giving speeches on the stage.
Felicitations for Kaviperarasu Vairamuthu:
Now, its time for some entertainment:
India's Got Talent - Winners Dance

Tone that is comprehensive, integrated, and family and youth-driven. These are crucial for Granite State youth and families.
New Hampshire is struggling with ongoing substance misuse, mental health, and child protection crises, all of which are drastically impacting our children. The lasting impacts of trauma cannot be overstated. As we continue to allow these crises to devastate our kids, we are putting them at further risk for developing behavioral health challenges.
In 2019, the CBHC will focus efforts on supporting the following policies.
Improvements to the System of Care
NH currently has an evidence-based prevention framework to support behavioral health needs in schools known as multi-tiered systems of supports (MTSS-B). Ensuring access to MTSS-B across the state will give all children what they need, while also supporting teachers and schools.
NH has put together a plan to improve NH's mental health system. For the first time, children are included in thesafe and well-supported.

This year, the highly pathogenic avian influenza hit the U.S. again. Some of the first confirmed cases popped up in Northwestern states, although flocks throughout the country were affected. Urban farmers with small flocks felt the effect particularly hard. Common signs of the virus are discharge from the nose and mouth, possibly with spots of blood in it; ruffled feathers; swollen or blue combs, wattles or legs; a tilted head; lack of coordination; tiredness; or sudden death. Avian flu is known to be extremely contagious and spread rapidly among birds and flocks.
This year’s avian flu strain, named H5N1, is the same one seen in Europe, Africa and Asia. It has been devastating among wild birds, and cases among them had led to more frequent outbreaks among commercial and backyard poultry farms.
To prevent the spread of the avian flu, Cole suggested that it’s very important for breeders to follow biosecurity recommendations to protect poultry from avian influenza.
The county’s public health blog recommends residents not approach or touch wild birds that appear to be infected. If there are any unusual deaths in a flock or one sees a bird that may diseased, they are asked to reportprogram.
Once a sick or dead bird is reported, a veterinarian reviews the case and contacts the individual for more information to determine how likely it is a flock is infected. If the flock seems at high risk for having the avian flu, it will be tested at no charge. If the flock does test positive for the avian flu, the entire flock is euthanized.
The county publishes a blog recommending the washing hands before and after caring for a flock and keeping any shoes or clothing worn around the birds stored outside the home. When handling live birds, carcasses or feeders, hands should be washed before and after contact. All surfaces and equipment should also be thoroughly washed. Any poultry found sick or dead should not be harvested, residents are told.
In order to protect a flock, the county confirms the importance of preventing contact between the flock and wild birds and separate domestic water birds such as ducks. Poultry should be kept in outdoor pens with a roof or overhead netting whenever possible and kept away from other animals. Poultry should be kept at home and not taken to fairs or exhibitions until 30 days or more have passed since the last confirmed case in the county.
Furthermore, county experts suggest farm tools and equipment not be shared between farms. Eggs from backyard flocks should not be shared or sold. While eating cooked eggs does not pose a risk, moving eggs can aid in spreading the virus.
Ashlee Sabiers, Oregon’s Chintimini Wildlife Center wildlife rehabilitation director, said her primary concern with this year’s avian flu is the urban and commercial flocks, since they are the most susceptible to infection. Outbreaks within the state are moreported online through press releases.
When considering potential causes for the outbreak, Sabiers noted that while the cause of the outbreak remains unknown, it is believed it may partially be weather dependent.
The wildlife center is using footbaths at every entrance as a solution-containing intervention, which is a known cleaning agent that kills the virus.
Urban farmers are urged to keep a close eye on their flock. “Staying vigilant and monitoring flocks is incredibly important because, if there is one suspected HPAI case in the flock, measures can be taken to isolate that particular bird in order to restrict the spread to the rest of the flock,” Sabiers said.
“It is important for the county and the community to remain vigilant during this time and report any mass die offs or unusual behavior of wild animals to the ODFW disease reporting hotline so that they can manage the next steps and help keep the public informed,” she advised. One of the most important ways to preventing the spread of the avian flu is for the city, county and state, urban farmers, commercial farmers and wildlife farmers to work together to properly monitor and report any birds that may have been exposed to the flu.

Orlando Bagwell Fellow
Cathy Cohen Fellow
Garland Martin Taylor Fellow
roughout his documentary career his work has considered the tensions within America’s racial diversity by considering the foundations of attitudes and actions beginning in its early history of slavery and slave resistance and the implications of that history in America’s 21st century where shifting demographics represent an emerging new majority representing people of color. Always recognizing the power of story as a transformative tool, his work considers what these changes mean for an understanding of national identity and futures. His work as a filmmaker and storyteller has translated this conversation of American identity into long form dramatic documentary films, biographies, series television and museum installations - all contributing to an ongoing exploration of the historical precedents and events that contribute to a shifting national identity and consideration of how race, gender and American identity converge, diverge, and interact.
Some of Bagwell's films include Citizen King, a documentary for PBS about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King; Eyes on the Prize, a 14-part mini-series on the civil rights movement in America; and . Bagwell was also a recent director at the Ford Foundation where he oversaw JustFilms, a foundation initiative which supports independent film and digital storytelling projects that explore urgent social justice issues.

“There’s this contradiction that this is the peace candidate, but he’s a salesman for the weapons industry,” said Henry Lowendorf, of the Greater New Haven Peace Council and the U.S. Peace Council. “The industrial policy of the Connecticut [Congressional] Delegation is war…The absurdity of it.”
Maybe he thinks the helicopters won’t be deployed in offensive operations in Yemen. But, even so: If you’re against the war policy of the Saudi government, shouldn’t you want all military support cut off to it?

Remember when you were younger and as soon as you got done with school, you just couldn’t wait to go home, squeeze yourself on your couch, and start playing games? That heavenly feeling is still your favorite and gaming is still your favorite hobby and we know that very well.
However, there’s a taboo that gaming is something that lazy people do. But that’s what it is. Just a taboo! Because the reality is opposite to that. In fact, gaming brings various benefits to you, something that you might be unaware of.
There ate many types of gaming and many people have different individual preferences. For instance, some like action games or some like CPS Test. Whatever your preferences might be, the bottom line here is that gaming has many unknown benefits, and thus we present you with the same. Check out the list below.
In the 21st century, people live in a bubble of stress. We all are part of a race that doesn’t really have a finishing life. We have somehow managed to make stress the normal part of our lives. And that’s when gaming comes into the picture. When you’ve had a really long and tiring day at work, and you start playing your favorite game, your stress will disappear and your tiredness will melt away within no time. Gaming can be a great way to burst the stress and bubble, which works miraculously for so many of us!
If you get the maximum click on your mouse clicking test, your happiness would know no bounds.
If you come first in your racing game, you will feel on top of the world.
Thus, the term ‘relaxation’ is subjective, and if you feel relaxed by playing games online, then go ahead! Whatever floats your boat!
Many studies have shown that gamers usually have some of the greatest brains out there. If someone is addicted to gaming, chances are; his or her mind works miraculously. And studies show that it improves the gray area of the brain. Gray area, which is connected with muscle control, memories, and perception part. Thus, what else you could desire? Gaming improves your memory and also helps in perceiving better. Thus, you must take a jitter click test.

But, what if there was a better way? I’m not saying it’s going to fix everything, but maybe it’ll allow you to get a few things done, and you might just enjoy it.
Mill? Can it even be….fun? Is there actually a way to include our children?
Gp! And you’ll get a few good laughs out of it too!
Try all of these or some, and adapt them to your own family! It’s the best of both worlds when you can clean and have fun with your kids at the same time, and it teaches them cleanliness, responsibility, and just how silly mom can be!

Being a reporter who provides credible information to NFL fans is not easy work. Every single day I sift through hundreds of phone calls and emails from kooks and nutjobs from around the country. It’s unfortunate that only a certain few stories meet my standards to post.
It’s hard to know what is real or when someone is yanking your chain but there is one particular conspiracy theory that is circulating a buzz and continues to gain traction.
Yes, I am referring to that weird Seahawks, Bigfoot conspiracy theory.
This disturbing story doesn't seem to want to go away. Somehow a whisper campaign has been simmering underneath the radar for some time and fans from across the country have asked me to comment on it so I feel it is my duty to address it today. This idiocy must come to an end now!
The Seahawks are in the playoffs because they are a top tier NFL franchise so it is sheer madness for anyone to believe for a moment that a large horde of Bigfoot leaving the region had anything to do with their success.
Sure it is a well known fact that all the NFL teams that had winning records saw a dramatic decrease in the total Bigfoot population (per capita) in the cities where those teams play. And for the teams with losing records, the number of Bigfoot sightings were very high.
People, people please understand that I’ve done all of the research. I know that Bigfoot sightings in the state of Tennessee mysteriously increased while has declined.
I am not a rookie when it comes to Native American folklore, so yes I know that many Native American cultures believe that having a significant Bigfoot population is a bad omen.
Please don’t send me anymore of Matt Hasselbeck’s tweets. I know all about the Hasselbeck-Bigfoot rumors that surfaced shortly after he arrived in Tennessee. I’ve probably seen this Hasselbeck tweet at least a thousand times. And please don’t ask me to google the image of a “Munchak deer”anymore. Everyone knows that the Bigfoot are attracted to deer and I’m fully aware of the many reports of missing deer and wildlife in the state of Tennessee.
And to the lady that lives in Smyrna that wrote me last week claiming that a Bigfoot breaks into her liquor cabinet twice a day to steal her vodka: You are probably right Ma'am, it could be former NFL running back Lendale White dressed in a cheap gorilla suit.
Everyone should just stop and take a deep breath, especially the crazy fans that blame their team’s losing season on the Bigfoot.
I don’t know if the Bigfoot exist or not but if I were a owner of an NFL franchise that didn’t make the playoffs this year I would follow the Seahawk’s lead and build a solid team by hiring good football people to run the organization but just as a precaution, I would put a competent full time animal control and removal specialist on staff.
From a die hard Titans fan way down south in Tennessee!!! Good Luck In The Playoffs Seahawk Fans!

The versatile Houston-area product plans on seeing the two recruiting rivals back to back.
The Texas offer the 6'2, 210-pounder received back on May 25 may end up being a game-changer in Murray's recruitment.
"It's a huge offer," Murray told Horns247. "I'm just grateful for it. God blessed me with it. It's huge for me."
Texas A&M had previously held some apparent momentum after he picked up his offer from the Aggies on May 19. So this will be the first trip to both schools since they extended offers, which adds to the stakes a little bit.
Murray also camped at Ole Miss on Friday and plans on taking several other trips this summers. And Oklahoma was a school that was high on his radar in the recent past, so there are quite a few schools in contention at the moment -- 10, in fact, based on a list that Murray released several days ago.
In recent recruiting battles between the two schools, Texas head coach Charlie Strong hasn't had an opportunity like this to go head-to-head against Texas A&M head Kevin Sumlin, back to back. But considering that he's won a lot of the recent head-to-head battles, he should be in good shape to win the day.

to ask for) and sights that we wanted to see on our way there.
Our road trip began with a visit to Aztec Ruins National Monument in northern New Mexico. We learned that these ruins are neither of the Aztec persuasion, nor are they considered ruins by the Puebloan people or the Navajo who later inhabited the area. Rather, they are a home to the spirits of those who once lived there. Shortly thereafter we crossed the state line and said good-bye to New Mexico and hello to colorful Colorado.
At one mountain pass we couldn't take it any longer and climbed out of the car to enjoy an overlook. That overlook led us to a trail, which led us to an exploration of trails leading up Engineer Mountain, through wildflowers taller than Chris, and eventually into afternoon thunderstorms. Having spent plenty of time in storms, we decided to turn around when we saw our first bolt of lightning in the distance and got in some trail running on our way back to the car.
We picked our way through shale fields as we made a quick ascent, and then we kept right on climbing. I pushed as hard as I could and still my feet did not want to leave the ground. As we wound our way along cliffside trails we were granted more views of the previously mentioned waterfall, the river that it came from, and the mountain streams that fed into that river. We passed old mining camps, rock hopped across some streams, encountered a porcupine eating lunch, and continued climbing until we lost the trail about a mile before coming out at Engineer Pass. Feeling exhausted, I did not have the energy to search for the trail and so we turned around and made our way down. Each step was remarkably easier than the previous and it (or lungs, rather).
After returning to the car we drove through Ouray and made our way further north drove around the canyon rim and admired the beauty of nature. We paid for a night of camping in the park so that we could get an early start on a hike down into the canyon. The next morning we got our early start, but the descent freaked me out a little (okay, a lot), so we turned back and did a more moderate hike on top of the canyon before heading east toward Grand Junction and Colorado National Monument.
We were unsure of what to expect of Colorado National Monument, but we were pleasantly surprised. From the forests of the Rocky Mountains we found ourselves thrust back into our desert landscape. The red rocks had me in awe, and then I realized that we live amongst the same types of formations. We hiked the old monument road, the serpent trail, which was once one of the curviest roads in the United States. We drove along the park road and observed a canyon that was vastly different from that which we had been at in the morning. Instead of dark striated rock, we had a painted desert of rich reds, golds, and oranges in front of us. Monuments reached for the sky and we roasted under the sun. That night we hiked to the base of one of the monuments and camped out under the stars (and a couple of climbers that had begun their ascent of the monument at dusk). With the exception of some noisy night hikers that came through the trail junction in the middle of the night, we had a peaceful desert sleep.
The following morning we drove east to Boulder where we got some much needed sibling time. We stayed with Sarah and James for a couple of nights and spent our time in town exploring trails, eating good food, and observing the oddities that exist on Pearl Street. We made it to Chataqua Municipal Park where we climbed Green Mountain (a goal of Chris's for the summer trip) and did a little more trail running.
Our Colorado visit ended with a trip to Red Rocks Amphitheater and Dinosaur Ridge. Both places were incredible for different reasons. We hiked around, took in the sights, and learned a little more. In the early afternoon we had to call our short stay to an end and we drove north into Nebraska where the next phase of our summer adventure took place. </s> .
He’d used three different kinds of mushrooms, and cooked them with garlic, butter, wine and thyme for an hour or so. Using little individual cast iron skillets, he took the already sautéed mushrooms and placed them on the bottom, cracking a couple of eggs over the top, and then covering it all with a healthy handful of freshly grated parmesan cheese. Baked at 400 degrees in the oven for 10 minutes, you’ve got a woodsy, hearty dish that can be served for any meal of the day.
Since I don’t have individual cast iron skillets, (who does?) I intended to make this to serve a crowd (or at least 4-6 people.) I bought a bunch of mushrooms at the store, hoping to make a large one in my regular skillet. So last Sunday, when I had plenty of time, I threw all the mushrooms into my dutch oven, and let them cook down for a good hour and 15 minutes. I knew if I had them ready, then on Monday I could make a quick dinner of it all when I got home from work. That was the plan at least…
And truthfully, this is so flexible. It doesn’t always have to be Baked Eggs with Sautéed Mushrooms. I’m thinking I’ll take some of the Alice Water’s Ratatouille that I made a few months ago, that’s sitting in my freezer now, and use that as the base for my baked eggs next time. You can cook it less if you like runny yolks, or you could scramble the eggs before pouring them in if you prefer a smoother covering, it’s all just a matter of taste. Once your mushrooms (or other vegetables) are cooked, this is a fast and easy dish to make. Take it to work for lunch, but know that

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the panel said the decision does not constitute a vindication of.
“This wasn’t a simple oversight by the presbytery,” said Stephen Paschall, a Pittsburgh lawyer who represents Edwards. “This was a majorPresbyterian Book of Order — and perhaps an attempt to sweep this issue under the rug.”
“I am pleased with the decision because it creates yet another precedent in which a minister of the Presbyterian Church has not been sanctioned for officiating at the marriage ceremony of a same-sex couple,” he said.
Edwards had said she welcomed the trial and had issued formal invitations to it and a “worship celebration and lunch” she was to host at a Pittsburgh country club after the trial’s conclusion, the Post-Gazette reported.
“I remain hopeful that the end of this trial today will also mark a beginning,” said Edwards, who is a direct descendant of legendary Puritan theologian Jonathan Edwards. “The beginning of a genuine dialogue within our church through which together we can reach a conclusion about how to fully welcome all people of God, including lesbians and gay men, into our spiritual community.”
“Those of us who have officiated at marriage ceremonies for same-sex couples have remained faithful to the essence of marriage in the church, which is rooted, above all, in Jesus’ essential message of love,” said Spahr, who attended Edwards’ trial.

50th anniversary of the contraceptive pill celebrated on May 9, 2010
and...the first days for the first estradiol contraceptive pill.
Hard for a lot of people to believe the birth control pill has been around now for half a century. It became a game changer for millions of American women and for American society. May 9 was not only Mother's Day - it wa. .The pill also has been credited - or blamed . The world experienced sharp changes in sexual behaviouOther predictions swirling around at the time of its debut did not come true. The pill did not curb worldwide population growth, create happier sex lives for married couples or reduce rates of divorce. Today, an estimated 12 million American women use the pill and about 80% wis. Yet, j always easy to get. The FDA approved the first pill in the first year of the Swinging Sixties, but the pill did not spark the sexual revolution. Nor did it cause a sudden drop in the fertility rate, which didn't bottom out until the early 1970s." Nevertheless, the pill's influence has been lasting and pervasive. -- ls.
Yet, women became dependent on doctors for contraception, because the pill was, and still is, available only with a prescription." Some women's advocates argue that pills today are much safer; therefore, they should be availables given on May 7, 2010, its approval to Natazia, (also termed Qlaira in Europe), a novel birth control pill from Bayer Healthcare that combines the hormones estrogen and progestin in doses that adjust four times throughout a woman's period cycle. The pill is the first birth control product to u
se four-phase dosing, according to the FDA.
Natazia is the first oral contraceptive to use a synthetic estin called dienogest. Other birth control pills contain ethinyl estradiol as an estrogen.
The drug also may offeror prolonged menstrual periods, Bayer said in October after presenting clinical trial data in which the drug, compared to placebo, reduced menstrual bleeding in a study of 231 women over the course of 90 days.Europe"., and acne. The FDA warned that women older than 35 who smoke should not use the product, because it could put them at risk for potentially serious cardiovascular problems.
By Nathalie Chabbert-Buffet (France)
The development of oral contraception has been one of the great medical and social revolutions of the last century. Oral contraception is one of the most used techniques in many countries. As defined by the WHO, contraception must be efficient, reversible, affordable and well tolerated. In this perspective, the potential impact of the use of estrogens and progestins for contraception has been a subject of controversy for the last 10 to 15 years, especially concerning (arterial and venous) vascular risk as well as carcinologic risk.
Different generations of oral contraceptives (OCs) have been developed mainly to reduce the metabolic and vascular risk . The most recent, third generation oral contraceptives (OC), are an association of low dose ethinyl estradiol and potent testosterone related progestins, developed to improve general and vascular tolerance. They are highly efficient and well tolerated by most users. Their extensive use has provided different key information: OCs (and non oral ethinyl estradiol containing contraceptives) can be used in women under the age of 35 with well controlled metabolic risk factors and high familial risk of breast cancer. On the other hand ethinyl estradiol containing contraceptives are not indicated in women with a high risk of deep venous thrombosis, or non controlled metabolic and vascular risk factors (including age over 35 and cigarette smoking), or with a history of breast cancer. Progestin only contraception is not well tolerated due to bleeding.
The current hormonal contraception concepts contain "non testosterone-derived" progestins and "non ethinylated" estradiol.
Three type of such contraceptives. The association of estradiol valerate and Dienogest has been launched in September 2009 in Europe. The association of estradiol and nomegestrol acetate is currently in phase 3 studies. The product has been submitted at the EMEA and it should be launched in 2010. Finally the association of estetrol (a placental estrogen) with different progestins is evaluated in phase 1 studies.
In this contraceptive concept the progestin is the antigonadotropic actor. This includes the need for relativement high doses of the progestin. The estrogen is added in order to avoid side effects of antigonadotropic progestins such as bleeding, vaginal dryness, and bone mineral density reduction.
The use of estradiol instead of ethinyl estradiol allows a dramatic reduction of the estrogenic activity. This reduction is related to the lower affinity for the estrogens receptor, a reduced number of enterohepatic cycles and a faster metabolization and excretion of inactive metabolites. It will thus reduce the impact on the different hepatic protein currently used as markers of metabolic and vascular risk. However data from the ESTHER study, conducted in post menopausal women, have shown that the risk of DVT still exists when estradiol is administered orally.
The use of nomegestrol acetate (NOMAC) as a progestin will allow a high progestogenic activity as well as a reduction in the impact of progestins on risk markers. NOMAC is a 19 nor progesterone derivative (or nor pregnane) which has a high bioactivity, related to its structure. The association of the suppression of the radical at carbone 19 (summarized as "nor" for no radical in the norpregnane name), of a double bound between carbon 6 and 7, as well as a modification of the substitution at carbon 17 leads to a high affinity for the progesterone receptor, the absence of affinity for SHBG (a high affinity steroid carrier protein) and a low affinity for both the androgen and the glucocorticoid receptors .
Clinical studies conducted on small numbers of women using NOMAC alone have shown that this molecule is able to block the LH surge as well as the FSH intercycle rise for doses of .5 mg/d or more, allowing anovulation in all women.The metabolic tolerance was good in normal women using NOMAC alone, as well as in women with dyslipidemia. Markers of thrombosis were not modified.
Phase II studies evaluating the effect of the association of NOMAC and estradiol 1.5 mg/d (NOMAC E2) have confirmed that the association also induced anovulation provided that the dose of NOMAC was 2.5 mg/d or higher. Interestingly the association showed some synergy in down regulating FSH and LH as compared to NOMAC alone (presented at the European Society of Gynecology congress 2009 in Rome). Furthermore the scheme of administration of NOMAC E2 24days /28 showed to be more efficient than the same association administered 21 days/28 (presented at the FIGO congress 2009 South Africa).
Unpublished phase III studies compared the association of NOMAC (2.5 mg/d)E2 (1.5 mg/d) 24 days /28 with the association ethinyl estradiol (30 µg/d) and drospirenone. The rates of pregnancy were lower, no matter the calculation technique, in the NOMAC E2 group. Bleeding patterns were comparable. The increase in SHBG was 33% in average.
These results provide evidence that the association of NOMAC (2.5 mg/d) with estradiol (1.5 mg/d) administered 24 d/28 is efficient for contraception and well tolerated.
This association will be indicated for women without a contra indication to oral contraceptives. It is not targeting high risk women.

Family flexibility and care provided by the extended family has been extended as shared parental leave and pay has been extended to working grandparents, without fear of them losing their jobs.
The planned changes, announced by Chancellor George Osborne,hEmployers need to note that legislation could mean the government will implement the policy by 2018.
“Shared parental leave has been on the radar for the past couple of years and since its introduction has created much more flexibility for employees, but the needs of the employer were also factored into the legislation,” said head of employment law, Susan Mayall.
“Parents have had to submit a leave notice at least eight weeks before their proposed first period of leave and I would expect that the rules will be very similar for grandparents, giving flexibility to employers and employees is what this is essentially about and looking forward to the changing nature of our working and home lives,” added Susan.

Which actress is going to play Wonder Woman's mother in the upcoming movie?
'Saturday Night Live' pays tribute to David Bowie
Saturday Night Live alum Fred Armisen returned to the show this weekend to pay tribute to David Bowie, who died Jan. 10 at the age of 69.
Armisen, 49, appeared near the end of the episode, which was guest hosted by Star Wars: The Force Awakens actor Adam Driver, and explained how influential Bowie was to him as an artist.
"When I was in high school and living in Long Island, I stayed up to see David Bowie play on Saturday Night Live," Armisen told the audience.
"And watching him was, for me, a life-changing experience. He had these back-up singers that were like choir singers from the future, and a toy poodle with a TV monitor in his mouth," Armisen recalled. "David Bowie transformed whatever space he was in, whatever medium he was using, and that night for me, he transformed live television."
Armisen then introduced a clip of Bowie performing "The Man Who Sold the World" on the show in 1979.
Danish actress Connie Nielsen has been cast as Hippolyta, the titular heroine's mother in the upcoming movie Wonder Woman.
Variety reported the casting news Friday, but offered no other details about how the queen of the Amazons will fit into the overall storyline.
Patty Jenkins is directing the movie, which is set to hit theaters June 23, 2017. The ensemble also includes Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Danny Huston, Robin Wright, David Thewlis and Ewen Bremner.
Nielsen, 50, is known for her work in The Devil's Advocate, Gladiator, The Hunted, The Great Raid and 3 Days to Kill. She also had recurring roles on TV's The Following and The Good Wife.

For some who travel by rail, it could be a little more fun this year. Korail, the state-run rail operator, says it is launching next month a new train equipped with heated foot baths and traditional Korean heated floors.

All My Loving" - The Beatles (1963)
The track was conceived as a poem by Paul one day as he as shaving. It wasn’t until he’d finish his day’s workry and western song. The song helped McCartney to be seen as more of an equal to Lennon as a songwriter.
In one of his very rare praises of McCartney’s songwriting abilities, Lennon remarked:
"It’s a damn good piece of work."
The track ss. I.
Even more remarkable is the excellent glissando guitar work and original rockabilly solo composed by Harrison. It is just after that solo when the very simple, but catchy, melody is injected with the sweet, infectious harmony that is the songs’ climax. “All My Loving” is a good example of how, i relationships within the song sections. The main musical attraction is often overlooked in favor of the much more easily noticeable vocal hooks.
Capped by George Harrison’s ringing homage to Carl Perkins in his eight-bar solo break, this instrumental accompaniment marked a great leap forward for the Beatles, who had been incapable of generating any appreciable swing until Ringo joined the band. In the line “All my loving/ I will send to you” the narrator is reassuring his lover that he'll always love her and be thinking of her, even if they are separated for the time being.
It’s message is not only directed at two lovers, but for anyone that misses another person- whatever their relationship. The speaker is in the act of affirming his love, promising that his feelings will remain true and unwavering during his absence from her world.

I have turned so as to see under the sun, that the race is not always to the swift the race, nor the battle to the mighty, nor bread to the wise, nor wealth the intelligent, nor favor to the skillful, for time and chance happen with them all. Ecc.9:11
Life is not fair. Though our actions and attitudes can and do effect outcomes in our lives, time and chance disrupt our self-reliant perspectives and replace them with God-centric perspectives. Focus on the unfairness of life yields bitterness. Focus on the love and grace of God yields peace.

If you have to buy a tablet to cater your educational needs, which one would you prefer; an Android tablet or a Windows tablet? Tablets are undoubtedly the best devices to stay connected to each other via internet. If you are looking for a best tablet for these holidays, the recent white paper released from Microsoft may help you taking the decision. Microsoft has released a whitepaper that concludes that Windows devices are safer than Android. They are also better in terms of usability.
Microsoft in its Education Blog compares the Windows and Android devices in every aspect. As per the white paper, Windows devices are much better to spend your money on as compared to the Android devices.
Favoring the Windows devices Microsoft says, “Windows devices offer better security, a more productive experience for users and an improved ability for IT to manage mobile devices within the boundaries of existing PC cost structure and technical infrastructure”
Microsoft has compared the major aspect Windows and Android devices such as security, ease of use, productivity and durability. The assessment clearly reveals that Windows devices are much easier to operate as compared to the Android devices; also they offer much productive experience in low cost. Windows devices are also much secure when compared to the Android devices.
“Windows devices offer the path of least resistance for adoption of tablets for any organization that is serious not only about achieving mobility benefits, but also securing valuable (and often confidential) business information and controlling the IT costs,” says Microsoft on its Education Blog.
Overall the Windows devices are proved to be a superior choice for both education and government departments.

96000 acres of God's country. Easy to dissapear for even the novice of survivalist. I'm glad you enjoyed our area
Yeah - that was weird, too - we would drive into the Tellico ORV area up long-abandoned logging trails and there would be absolute FORESTS of rhododendron (poisonous if consumed, BTW!!!).
We don't need to learn anything new - it's only been forgotten - we must re-learn.
What I liked about the book was it had a lot of information that would help a beginner and it made the more experienced think about their plans.
Scott, I was more of a "hunker down" type person, but reading your book opened my eyes to the bug out option.
Having lived my life in the Appalachian mtns of western NC I am very familiar with the Linville Gorge area, aka the grand canyon of the east. The weather and mountains are unforgiving by many peoples standards but you must understand the mountains have their own way of doing things to borrow a phrase from bear claw off the movie "Jeremiah Johnson." If you plan to use the Appalachians as a bug out area you would be well advised to visit here and at least camp for a weekend in a tent in a wilderness area. This would give you a taste of what to expect and how to better prepare for a long term endeavor.
Just some things to think about when considering Appalachia.....
My family has lived for many generations in the hills of Tennessee. I have lived in the foothills of the Appalachians and the Highland Rim of Tennessee all my life. After spending as much time as possible camping in the mountains, I find that bear are not so much of a threat as are hogs and coyote.Hogs are smart, wary and a sow with pigs will attack faster than a sow bear with cubs. Hogs eat everything edible and will destroy any food crops one might have or have found. Trapping them is easier than shooting but takes patience. Coyotes will disrupt game trails and will run in packs attacking much larger animals including guardian dogs. Also they will cross breed with dogs at certain times of the year and these coy-dogs are exceptionally dangerous as they are not as fearful of humans. The Appalachians are not the same as when the Indians and Over Mountain folks lived there. There is less variety of game animals and a wider range of predators.
Also consider that the region is made up of Karst limestone and most of the caves and underground water sources originate many miles (states)away. I am concerned aboutcontamination of these aquifers.
I have lived in Dahlonega Ga for 24 years, I am not a Georgia Native but I thinke. The oldest Mtn folks can be great and frustrating. I had to move west recently for work, in Wyoming. Some of the contries best water is here in the Chatahoochie watershed area. Go visit the Suches area just north on highway 60. I like that area because my soul feels at peace when I am there. I just dont feel comfortable here in Wyoming. I cant wait to return HOME. I miss the rain,mountains and trees. If things start to get bad in America I will do everything possible to get back to Dahlonega. I own a modest home with a cultivated edible landscape. Plus I have wild black berries and muscadine grapes in my area. I will defend in place, but if it gets bad I know the wilderness area well enough to stay safe. And if it does get bad because of the economy or socially I hope the GARBAGE stays in Atlanta. </s> Virtualised software licensing
Besides piracy, studies show that even users who actively try to be fully compliant often cannot understand the licensing rules (and as the article says, even vendors can struggle to understand their own licensing). The reality is that in most cases, if there is money on the table that a licensing tweak could recover, those tweaks would have already been made. But while the practice of overly-complex licensing has perhaps lasted longer than expected, disruptive technologies such as usage-based cloud computing, and open source software and the increasing use of virtualisation itself, mean the trend will be toward simplified licensing and subscription models.

out the medical application is a factual and credibility determination that must be made by the ALJ at a hearing. If the airman can convince the ALJ that he or she didn't know or understand that an answer was false, then the Board will have to defer to that determination unless it i Unfortunately, that is usually a very difficult task in intentional falsification cases.
Under the FAA's plan to dismantle the BARR program, a "Certified Security Concern" must be submitted to the FAA by July, 5, 2011 in order to maintain N-number blocking after the FAA/Subscriber Memorandum of Agreement Amendment ("MOA") is effective August 2, 2011. According to the MOA, an aircraft owner or operator will have to certify that it has a valid security concern by either demonstrating a generic factual justification for a specific security concern or showing that it meets the Treasury requirements of 26 C.F.R. section 1.132-5(m) for a business-oriented security concern in order to have its N-number blocked.
The aircraft owner or operator may establish a bona fide business-oriented security concern satisfactory to the FAA by submitting a written certification consistent with Section 1.132-5(m) that is signed by an appropriate company official. The certification may request a period in excess of 12 months, but a new certification supporting the security concern will need to be filed before the expiration of the then-current 12-month period in order to avoid a lapse. The certification may be sent to the FAA via e-mail or U.S. Mail.
According to the report, the CFI admitted that he intentionally failed to disclose his diagnosed substance abuse and mental disorder on his medical application because he was afraid the FAA would revokeUnfortunately, the CFI was mistaken. A disclosed diagnosis of substance abuse and mental disorder would have had no effect on his commercial pilot or his flight instructor certificates. The disclosure would, however, have resulted in denial of an application for medical certificate, although it may still have been possible to obtain a special issuance medical certificate if the airman met the FAA's requirements.
ide coverage when you need it? That depends.
Aircraft insurance policies havethe insured tstate law applicable to the case. In some states (Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa,on) an insurer cannot deny coverage unless the breach was causally related to the accident or loss. In other states (Alaska) a causal connection between the policy breach and the accident or loss is not required for the insurer to deny coverage. The remaining states have not decided the issue one-way or the other.
In either case, you would be fighting for coverage. In the aftermath of an accident or loss, a fight over coverage is the last thing an insured should have to worry about. To avoid these situations icy. Then you can enjoy the security of the aviation insurance policy for which you are paying your premiums.

Latrodectus mac.
The homeopathic remedy latrodectus mactans (latrodectus mac.) is prepared from the spider species Latrodectus belonging to the family Theridiidae that comprises roughly 31 identified species of spiders. Occasionally, the spiders of genus Latrodectus are also commonly denoted as widow spiders primarily because the females of this genus generally consume the male partner after mating. However, this is not true in the case of most of the spider species as the males are not eaten by their female partners after mating and they often continue fertilizing other females of their species.
Among all the species belonging to this genus, the black widow spider is maybe the most familiar to us. When any individual is bitten by the black widow spider, it injects venom known as latrotoxin into the person. Black widow spider bite is considered to be relatively hazardous and the injection of its venom causes a condition called latrodectism - a term derived from the name of the genus. In fact, the bite of a female black widow spider is particularly harmful for humans as this species possesses exceptionally large glands containing the venom. In fact, the female black widow spider is known t
Usually, the adult female black widow spiders display a red colored hourglass shaped mark on their abdomen. However, not all adult female black widows bear this mark, as a number of them also exhibit a pair of red spots or do not have any kind of marking whatsoever. But the adults that do have any type of marking have them only in vivid red color. While the females of this species are considerably large sized, the adult male black widow spider's size is one-fourth of its female counterpart. Even their color is normally gray or brown and not black and red like the female black widow spiders. Again, contrary to the bite of the female black widow spider, the bites of the adult male black widow spider are not considered to be hazardous for humans. On the other hand, the large venom gland of the female black widow spider has made its bite dangerous resulting in different symptoms. Although spiders belonging to one species vary greatly with another as also by their gender, normally any spider that displays a red colored hourglass mark on its abdomen and has a glossy black body can undoubtedly be recognized as an adult female widow spider.
It may be noted that very often spiders belonging to the genus Steatoda, which is also a member of the family Theridiidae, are mistaken by people to be widow spiders. Therefore, spiders belonging to the genus Steatoda are often called 'fake widow spiders'. Nevertheless, this genus of spiders is not considered to be as harmful as the adult female black widow spiders for humans.
As is with any other member belonging to the Theridiidae family, the widow spiders also weave a web of asymmetrical, knotted and clammy silken fibers. Very often, the widow spider is found hanging in an upturned position close to the hub of its web waiting for its prey, generally insects, to commit a blunder and get entrapped in the sticky mesh. And even before the trapped insect is able to free it from the mesh, the widow spider rushes to it, bites the prey and eventually covers the victim up with the silky fibers. On the other hand, in case the widow spider gets a hint of any threat, it will hastily drop itself down to the ground below to safety swinging along the fine silky fiber of its web. Similar to all other insects, precisely speaking spiders that weave webs for their inhabitancy, the widow spiders also have very pitiable eyesight and generally rely on vibrations reaching them via the fine fibers of their web to locate their prey trapped in the web or even to any threat from any larger animals.
Generally, the widow spiders are not antagonistic or hostile by nature, except for when they are hunting for food. In fact, most of the injuries caused to humans owing to venomous bites of widow spiders are a result of either irritating, intimating or pinching the spiders. According to some theories, some of the bites are also a result of the spider mistaking a finger inserted into its web for its usual prey or, in other cases, humans interfering with the female black widow spider protecting its egg sack are also victims of their bites, but here it is entirely for defensive reasons. However, when any comparatively large animal invades its web, the widow spider will generally flee from its home - the web, immediately for safety.
The venom produced by the black widow spider, especially the female of the species, is highly toxic and it can prove to be life-threatening both for humans as well as animals. When any human is bitten by an adult female black widow spider, he or she will experience certain symptoms, including cold sweating, vascular spasms, cramps in the muscles and even severe chest pains as in the case of angina pectoris. Interestingly enough, the homeopathic remedy prepared from the venom of the female black widow spider is effective in curing the severe chest pain related to heart attacks and angina. This is because homeopathic remedies are based on the simple theory 'Like cures like'. In other words, certain health conditions and associated symptoms caused by the substance can be cured well using very minute and heavily diluted doses of that same substance.
The entire body of a live adult female black widow spider found in the warmer places of the globe, especially in the United States, is used to prepare the homeopathic remedy latrodectus mactans or latrodectus mac.
The symptoms of such patients improve when they are sitting peacefully at one place for quite some time and when they take a hot bath. However, the symptoms aggravate or deteriorate during night time, when the weather condition is humid and prior to a thunderstorm. Turning to the homeopathic medication latrodectus mac. does not only cure angina and other mentioned disorders, but also helps to provide relief from associated symptoms quite fast.
The adult female black widow spid, is native to North America, particularly the United States. In addition, this species of spider is also found in other warm places across the globe.

We live in a world that bombards us with words, millions of them on the internet for us to read and millions more to listen to via various media. Words are great for sharing our thoughts and opinions, and our faith, but words alone are not enough.
On Sunday the reflection looked at the need for us to walk the talk of our faith if we hope to make a difference in the world. The readings were psalm 4, 1 John 3:1-7, Luke 24:36-48.
A few years ago we had a French boy staying with us for 6 months. The idea was that he would be completely immersed in family life in England and would learn the language fluently. Pierre was only 9 years old so this was a very big thing, to leave his home and family and come and live in a totally different place where he didn’t know the language at all. Not only that, but he was living as our own children did, under the rules of our household, which were surely different from the ones he was used to. He was treated in every way as our children were. He went to the same school as our son of the same age, we helped him with his homework, read to him, fed him, decided what time he would go to bed, bought new clothes for him, got him a bicycle so that he could join in with the others and so on. At first he was a bit tearful when he remembered that his mum wasn’t there with him but gradually he seemed happier. He very quickly learnt to speak English, picking up the Yorkshire accent along with the words.
Pierre’s own family sent letters to him and rang him each week. They were not supposed to talk to him for too long on the phone as that might cause distress. They were also not supposed to do things that would influence how Pierre was being brought up in our family. This family did try to avoid the rules though. They regularly sent huge packages of sweets the size of shoe boxes. Our children didn’t eat many sweets at all, just a few after the main meal of the day. This influx of sweets was a major embarrassment to us really. I know Pierre wasn’t happy with our decision, but we chose to take them away from him and let him have a small amount after his main meal, just as our children would.
When the time came for Pierre to return home, he had really changed. No one would have known that he was not an English child. He spoke the language perfectly, he behaved in much the same way as our own children (though he still had his own personality) and he was 14 pounds (6.5kg) lighter! The latter was a huge concern to me. I hadn’t realised he was losing weight for quite a while but then noticed that his trousers were too loose for him. In horror, I checked if he was hungry and not getting enough to eat, though he seemed to have a healthy appetite and was never denied food. He confirmed that he was fine and I realised that it must be the diet without large amounts of chocolate etc in it which had made the difference. So the boy we delivered back to France was a very different one indeed, probably barely recognisable to his family at first.
In terms of the church year we are currently in the 50 day season of Easter, as anyone looking around the Cathedral will realise. During this time we are looking at life in the light of the resurrection. The apostle John had had a long time to think about life in that light by the time he wrote his epistle. He still seems blown away by the impact and exclaimshis is a gift worth far more than all the Easter eggs in the world, though that may surprise some chocoholics among us. The title of ‘Children of God’ comes with a promise that we will be like Jesus, we will be glorified just as he is glorified. St Paul says much the same in his letter to the Romans when he tells of us being adopted into God’s family and being fellow heirs with Christ. We are dst-born in this family of God to which we belong.
John says that at the moment we don’t know what we will be like because it has not been made known. However, we get a glimpse of what Jesus was like after the resurrection. Jesus still had a body and was recognisable, albeit sometimes it took people a while to work out who he was. He was able to speak, to eat, to breathe on the disciples. They could touch him physically. The wounds which killed Jesus were still there. And yet, there was something more. Jesus could easily arrive in locked rooms at will and disappear at will also. Jesus after the resurrection was the same as before and yet had something more about him also. If we are going to be like Jesus we can assume that something similar will happen to us although we have no way to fully understand it at the moment. I suppose you could say the same for Pierre when he returned home; he was the same but had something more about him also.
Along with this wonderful gift of being children of God there comes a responsibility. John says that everyone who has this hope purifies himself. If we abide in Jesus we do not keep on sinning. That is quite difficult to understand, especially as John himself says elsewhere that if we say we are without sin we are lying. In this life we will continue to sin but as Christians we are aware of it and know to repent as soon as we realise we have sinned. We don’t just go on without a care, regardless of what we have done. Jesus died to take away our sin, as John tells us in verse 5 of this passage. John the Baptist also said the sameWe can be transformed because of what Jesus has done. We have the responsibility of growing more like Jesus every day.
In order to be transformed we need the help of the Holy Spirit. We have to make room for the Holy Spirit to work in us and we do that by spending time with Jesus in prayer and Bible study. This gives us the power to overcome sin in our lives. Having intentionally spent time with Jesus, we will abide with him all the time; an awareness of him will be there throughout our day. Brother Lawrence called this abiding, ‘practising the presence of God’. As we go about our daily lives we will hear the voice of God saying to us: ‘this is the way, walk in it’. If Pierrre had not listened to English being spoken around him, he would not have learnt the language. If we do not listen to God’s language in the Bible and in times of prayer, we will not learn his language, the language of love and compassion. If we learn it we will be able to live it, to walk the talk of our faith.
We need to remember that we have huge potential. We were created to be like Jesus, even though the transformation will take a lifetime. We may look at how far we have come and despair as it seems so insignificant, but we need to look at God’s love for us, not at our sinfulness. It’s very tempting to look at ourselves as we are and see only our limitations, not our potential. We will see others who seem so much more gifted than we are, who seem to be ‘good’ people, who are successful – whatever that means. It has been said that faith is spelled R I S K. We have to be prepared to try, to risk getting it wrong. If Pierre hadn’t dared to open his mouth and speak he would never have become able to communicate in English. There had to come a time when he gave it a go. And when he got it wrong, he had to have another go, rather than giving up. As a child I always seem to fall over and hurt myself. I seldom seemed to have knees without grazes on them. I remember to this day my dad saying goodbye to me one day as I set off to visit a friend who lived a little way down the road. His last words were ‘Be careful and don’t fall.’ I turned and said, ‘I won’t, Daddy’ and promptly tripped over, damaging both knees and an elbow. Despite that, I didn’t give up walking believing I was not designed to walk, and in the same way we must not give up walking the truth however risky it feels.
In John’s letter we are told that it is the person who practises righteousness who is righteous. In Rwanda 90% of the population claimed to be Christian. Reflecting on the genocide there, David Gushee said, ‘b– they guarantee nothing.’ We have to actively live out our faith, to be prepared to be living sacrifices, to look for ways to do good. It’s not enough just to work on not sinning. John Wesley said, have been created to do good works ‘ Each day we should pray to be given opportunities to do good, not to buy our way into heaven – that is already taken care of – but to help to change the worlds in which we live, SL and RL.
I’d like to give the last word to John Stott:
‘The call to responsible lifestyle must not be divorced from the call to responsible witness. For the credibility of our . It is , or his lordship if we are not good stewards of our possessions, or his love if we close our hearts against the needy.
Lord, give us the strength we need to walk the talk of our faith every day to transform our worlds. Amen

Darwin Project looks like it’s getting some Linux updates on SteamDB. So it looks like we have to get ready to fight on a whole new platform. Darwin Project launched on Steam Early Access March 9, 2018 for Windows. Also priced at $14.99 USD.
So according to the recent updates on SteamDB. It looks like we have some Linux testing going on. Since the games developed using Unreal Engine 4 and the Steam reviews are solid. Well also makes sense why the developers are keen to expand platform support. Since both Battle Royale games Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite are also built using the same engine. Check some of the gameplay below. Take note of the tree chopping with a shovel. It’s true, I do play Darwin Project and gameplay is that crazy.
Darwin Project first Closed Alpha (Windows, soon Linux?)
Not only does this kick off the next phase of development for Darwin Project. But this could the first time Linux games get a AAA Battle Royale game. So whether fight for survival or casting their judgement. Either on the battlefield with the help of the Show Director. Players can hopefully get to experience the joys of booby trapping a cabin with trip-wires. Also sniping an enemy into a lava pit from a nearby mountaintop. While also stalking their prey through the frozen nooks. So welcome the Canadian Rockies.
In addition to releasing with all the environmental survival action. Players have come to expect from Darwin Project’s snow-laden take on the battle royale genre. Al the new features unveiled in the last Open Beta are now a permanent part of the manhunt. In particular, Spectator Interactions on Twitch and Mixer were standouts of Darwin Project’s Betas. Since they allowed stream viewers to influence the decisions of the Show Director. And make an impact on the battlefield. With the game’s release on Early Access, fans can look forward to more engaging streams than ever before.
Darwin Project releases on Steam Early Access or Humble Store for Windows, priced at $14.99 USD. For the latest updates, visit Scavengers Studio’s official website or follow them on Twitter and Discord.

Since its initial release on the PS2. Legend of Kay has been well received by both critics and consumers alike. Which then received a port for Nintendo DS. So now, over 10 years later, the game has been remastered. Now having a port for Linux, Mac and Windows. Also the PS3™, Xbox 360 and PS4 and Wii U.
Legend of Kay Anniversary is a thorough remastering of the original game. This includes high-resolution textures, new, more detailed character models. Also, modern rendering techniques and crystal-clear surround sound. Giving this great classic a new shine.
Akalabeth: World of Doom a free game on GOG.com for 48hr’s
Akalabeth: World of Doom, Richard Garriott’s predecessor to the modern RPG, will be among GOG.com’s permanent collection of free games beginning December 24 (10am CET). Its descendant, the landmark Ultima series, will be 80% of for 48 hours.
The game was created 35 years ago by Richard Garriot - now known to the gaming world as Lord British - for the Apple II personal computer. Originally, the creator wrote Akalabeth for his own entertainment but was persuaded by a friend at a local computer store to try selling it. Garriot proceeded to copy the disks and put them into resealable bags with instruction sheets. It was cutting edge tech for the time, as Lord British’s previous excursions into game development required an acoustic modem and paper tape punch/reader.
*The PDP-11 predecessor of Akalabeth: World of Doom.
Akalabeth: World of Doom was the blueprint for epic fantasies and role-playing classics to come, both in gameplay mechanics and backstory. As either a fighter or mage, you set out to explore the once-peaceful lands polluted by foul beasts roaming the deep, dark dungeons. When exploring the grid-based underworld the view switches to first-person, fighting more powerful monsters and collecting better loot the deeper you go.
To celebrate the impact of this historic title the DRM-free digital distributor is putting the entire Ultima saga on sale at up to 80% off. The promotion lasts until Friday, December 26, at 9:59am CET.
Akalabeth: World of Doom is available free on GOG.com for Linux, Max, and Windows PC.

According to German court - You cannot re-sell Valve digital content
A German court has dismissed a ‘reselling’ case in favour of Valve Software, the makers of SteamOS. German consumer group Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband (vzbv) had filed a complaint against Valve as Valve’s EULA (End User Licence Agreement) prohibits users from re-selling their games.
It is bad news for users who lose the right to re-sell their digital content. What it means in layman’s terms, if the courts’ decision is applied in the physical world, you are not allowed to re-sell your old car, couch or anything at all.
In July 2012 the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled that users have the right to re-sell downloaded content and a publisher cannot stop that via EULA. US companies are extremely aggressive over ‘ownership’ of content and taking away control from users. That case was one of the reasons why vzbv filed second complaint against Valve, as the UsedSoft vs Oracle case concluded that the copyright owners exhaust their exclusive right after first sale which allows users to resell the digital content.
This ruling was the basis of vzbv complaint, but it seems the German Regional court believe that the CJEU ruling does not apply to digitally ‘distributed’ games. For now it seems that digitally distributed games in Germany are not covered by ‘exhaustion’.
While companies do try to protect their works from ‘illegal’ downloads, or illegal re-selling, they should give customer total ownership of works they paid for. As stated above, looking at the extremely community friendly stand on Valve Software, we may expect Valve to give more power to users.

It’s probably likely that some of you will want to go one step further and hatch and raise your own chicks from your existing stock. Breeding chickens couldn’t be easier and it’s a worthwhile and rewarding project to get your kids involved in too.
If your far enough from your nearest neighbors or lucky enough to have very understanding ones that don’t mind being woken at the crack of down by an over zealous cockerel announcing the dawn of a new day then you are already half way towards getting your hens to breed.
Firstly, hens kept on their own without a cockerel present will not produce viable, fertile eggs. I know this is stating the obvious but you would be surprised how many people completely miss this critical point!
The introduction of the cockerel to your flock will ensure the eggs are fertile and likely to produce chicks after incubation. It will take no time at all for the cock and hen to do what comes naturally! Bear in mind that when a cockerel is present in the coop you can still collect the eggs and use them for consumption as long as they are collected fresh and haven’t been allowed to remain under the brooding hen for any length of time.
You should ideally remove the cockerel after a few days with the hens as he can become aggressive if he’s had enough of their company. Let him roam the yard or the garden but keep him out of the coop where your hens are going to brood.
Having said that, I have on many occasions left the cock with the hens without any problems but there is a risk attached.
When you decide to let the hen brood just stop collecting the eggs and allow her to start the incubation. It will take 21 days from the time the last egg is laid for the chicks to appear during which time you will have to do nothing other than feed your hens as normal and try to disturb the brooding hen as little as possible. The more peace and quiet she gets the more comfortable and secure she will feel and will be less likely to rise from the nest.
Related Florida lawmaker wants to make farm photos illegal
Keep a close eye on your chicks in the first few days and protect them from the usual hazards such as predators and watch for signs of the other hens pecking at them. You may need to separate them if this becomes a problem but never separate them from the mother hen, as this would require artificial heating etc.
Feed your brooding hens good quality food and make sure they have a plentiful supply of it.
Keep disturbance to a minimum when your hens are brooding
Watch for signs that the cockerel is troubling any brooding hens if he has been allowed to remain in the coop
Dispose of any unhatched eggs carefully at the end of the incubation period, rotten eggs are extremely unpleasant!
If you plan to keep the chicks and breed from them at a later stage, do make sure to use a different cockerel to prevent problems with inbreeding.
Keeping and breeding you own hens is a rewarding experience and the perfect way to complement the organic garden.

How No Cross No Crescent Became Mostly About Islam: An Exercise In Introspection • No Cross No Crescent
Headline Dear British Muslim Protesters: Please Continue to Expose Islam!
Headline To Celebrate Or Not To Celebrate: When Christmas Epitomized Christian Bloodshed
Arizona Atheist, one of my Skeptic Ink Network co-bloggers (who also runs a separate blog) has many posts dedicated to trashing my views and how I express them. And while none of this for me means anything but highest honor, while going over one such piece of “praise” (which I won’t link to), I came across this gem, left by a commentator but apparently expressing a view shared by him:
It’s funny how much NCNC tone has changed since that blog started. Compare the early stuff with the later. I think NCNC figured out that sensationalism and Muslim bashing gets far more attention than nuanced examinations of religion etc. Very sad.
I found this rather puzzling. First, my views on Islam have not changed since I started this blog in the summer of 2012, and a glance at some of my earliest posts should be sufficient to show this. And while I am perhaps not the best person to make this determination, my tone probably hasn’t changed that much either, if the language used by those who disagree with me on things other than Islam (such as accusing me of not being “nuanced”) is any indication. Lastly, while I am not entirely sure how much attention a post on Islam would get compared to any other, the fact is that out of the 4 longest threads in this blog, 3 of them (including #1) have not been about Islam. What I do know is that how much attention I expect a post to get has very little to do with how much attention it actually gets. Lastly, the “Muslim bashing” accusation is rather silly, given that I have insisted we should identify and work with true reformist Muslims, as much as we should stop calling those who want us to accept Islam as is “moderates”.
So why give so much time to a random concern trolling “psychoanalyst”? Because in fairness I do think he has a point-even though he doesn’t word it quite like that. Contrary to his claims, neither my views, nor my tone, have changed significantly since I started writing No Cross No Crescent. But there is no denying that my focus has shifted. I wrote about a wide variety of topics (from social justice to climate change) when I had just started. But over a period of several months, from spring to summer of 2013, most of my writings came to be about Islam, a trend that has continued since. So, what changed? What was my “ulterior motive”, if not getting attention?
I have written separately about my loss of faith. But now it appears that becoming antagonistic in particular to Islamic faith has its own story, as I did not start off that way despite having the dubious distinction of having been an atheist living under Islamist rule for a long time.
The fact is, I personally missed this gradual shift as it happened (again, somehow like the loss of faith). It is only in retrospect that I notice it. But me being a “free will” denier, I must acknowledge the existence of outside factors that brought this about, if not conscious “motives”. And I suspect I know the answer: discovering the profound chasm in which many atheists, and in general liberals (the two overlap but certainly not completely), completely dismiss (if not excuse) the problems Islam has, while harshly examine every minor issue with Christianity and any particular one of its denominations. And while I always suspected this problem, with time I noticed it to be far more pervasive than I ever thought-and one I find myself in a position to expose. And hence I have found myself writing more and more about Islam, which was not how I planned things at the outset.
To say that my experience with how atheists approach Islam has been a disappointment would be an understatement. It goes way beyond the fact that I have been trashed by Arizona Atheist and some other of my own co-bloggers for saying Islam is the cause of violence and hence the problem cannot be expected to go away unless Islam is reformed. It even goes beyond the fact that countless atheists threw their own one time champion, Richard Dawkins, under the bus as soon as he pointed out some easily verifiable facts about Islam.
What has been the breaking point for me was to discover the shocking fact that some of the most unpleasant right wing Christian conservatives, such as Sean Hannity and Dinesh D’Souza, both of whom I have written about with contempt in the past, are actually the SANE ones when it comes to Islamic ideology and its basic disrespect for human rights, even though I certainly would expect the secular MSNBC presenters, such as Rachel Maddow or Chris Hayes, (or in the UK, the Gaurdian) to be those denouncing a system that treats women (quite literally) like decaying food and prescribes death by stoning as punishment for homosexuality. Unfortunately, in what has become a predictable pattern, when it comes to Islam most liberals simply stop being liberals.
And hence, I am thinking that my imperceptible but retrospectively definitive change in focus came as a result of this double standard.
It is interesting to contrast your views with Reza Aslan:
“Well, here’s the thing: That statement is indicative of the extreme
lack of sophistication that is exhibited by people like Sam Harris,
Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher when it comes to religion in general and
There is a fundamental misunderstanding among
these critics of religion in that they believe, first and foremost,
that people get their values, their morals from their scripture, when in
reality the exact opposite is true. You bring your morals and your
values to the scriptures; you don’t extract them from them. You learn
that on day one of the study of religion — day one, that’s the first
thing that you learn!”
I find it rather amusing that the likes of Aslan get away with claiming of faith are not aware of their own motives and Aslan and his ilk know better. Yet Dawkins gets all the accusations of “arrogance” for simply saying they believe what they say they believe! Anyways Aslan’s lies were utterly debunked by X Muslims Muhammad and Sarah. I am proud of them.
I suppose (with no evidence, this is just an opinion) that most people are more comfortable with the religion they grew up with as this is the one that they know most about. It would therefore be unsurprising that your particular focus would be on islam as that was the religion that you grew up with.
Uninspiring may be, but not by choice. I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to not just to read up on but interact closely with followers of different faiths, and not just with the wishy washy types either. So I would not find it hard to talk about other faiths, and I have, but the reason I find myself writing about Islam, as explained, is external circumstances I neither approve of, nor have any control over.

“Wishes of the descendants of Chancellor LANSING”
The Rev. Samuel West: “remarkable for absence of mind”
When Gen. George Washington wanted to decipher the mysterious letter from Dr. Benjamin Church (transcription posted yesterday), he asked provincial officials for advice about who was good at such things.
The locals recommended the Rev. Samuel West (1731-1807), the Congregationalist minister of Dartmouth (now New Bedford), then attached to the army as a chaplain. In 1865, Harper’s published this profile of West in an article titled “Anecdotes of Unitarian Divines”:
He worked upon a farm until his twentieth year, when he spent six months in preparing for college, and in 1750 started for Harvard College barefooted, carrying his shoes and stockings under his arm. On being examined for admission, he had a dispute with the Professor in regard to a Greek reading, in which he is said to have carried his point.
He was settled in 1761 on a salary of £66.13s.6d., which, small as it was, was not paid. He was twice married. His first wife was very tall, and her Christian name was Experience [Howland], a common one at that time. After her death he said he had “learned from long experience that it was a good thing to be married,” and so he took another wife.
He was an ardent patriot from the beginning of the difficulties with England, and was unsparing in his denunciations of those who were unwilling to come out on the side of their country. Immediately after the battle of Bunker Hill he joined the army to do what he could as a minister to keep up the courage of the soldiers, and to promote their welfare. . . . He was an influential member of the Convention that adopted the Constitution, and it was through his influence that Governor [John] Hancock was induced to give his assent to the adoption of the Federal Constitution.
Dr. West was remarkable for absence of mind. During the sessions of the Cos he spent many of his evenings abroad, and generally returned with his pockets filled with handkerchiefs, silk gloves, silk stockings, and other small articles, and was greatly distressed on finding them there, thinking that he bad taken them up and slipped them into his pockets. In fact they had been placed there by friends who took this method of making him presents, well knowing that he was too much engaged in conversation to take any notice of it.
While he was a pastor his friends would sometimes find him on his horse, which had stopped to graze by the wayside, the bridle loose, the Doctor’s hands folded on his breast, and himself wholly absorbed in his own thoughts. Once he went out to drive a cow from his yard, and striking at her with a long board missed the cow, and was himself brought to the ground, and split his small-clothes nearly the whole length of the leg. He knew nothing of this latter accident; but gathering himself up, and forgetting entirely where he was, he went on without a hat three miles, entered a friend’s house, and passed the night talking with him to the consternation of his wife, who, on his return, saw in what a plight he was for a visit to one of the most genteel families of the parish.
He once met a friend, and told him that he and his wife were on their way to make him a visit. “Your wife?” said his friend. “Where is she?” “Why,” replied the Doctor, “I thought she was on the pillion behind me.” She had got ready to accompany him, and the absent-minded Doctor had gone off without her. He would sometimes at the church stop at the horse-block for his wife to dismount, when she had been forgotten and was still at home.
Once he went to mill, leading his horse and carrying the grist on his own shoulder. One who saw him on his way, states that when before his second marriage he went to ask the town-clerk to publish the bans, he walked the whole distance leading his horse, and passed directly by the house of the town-clerk, and did not halt until he was brought up by a log at the end of a wharf.
Once, upon a Saturday afternoon, when on his way home from Boston, he was overtaken by a violent shower as he was riding on horseback. His family at home were anxiously expecting his return, but he did not make his appearance until the last moment on Sunday morning, when he was seen hurrying his horse onward, with muddy ruffles dangling about his hands, and another large ruffle hanging out of his bosom through the open vest, which he usually kept buttoned close to his chin. He never had worn such embellishments before, and never afterward could tell how he came by them then.
It was too late to make a change, the congregation were waiting. His daughter buttoned up his vest so as to hide the ruffles of the bosom, and carefully tucked the ruffles in about the wrists. During the opening services all went very well, but probably feeling uneasy about the wrists, he twitched at them until the ruffles were flourishing about, and then growing warm as he advanced, he opened his vest and made such an exhibition of muddy finery as tended very little to the religious edification of the younger portion of his audience. . . .
His absence of mind increased upon him as he became advanced in years, and at length his memory failed, although his intellect, when excited, retained much of its vigor. He had preached the same sermon to his congregation three Sabbaths in succession, but no member of his family was willing to distress him by informing him of what he had done.
The fourth Sabbath his daughter saw with a heavy heart that he had his Bible open at the same place, the Parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Fortunately be left the room for a minute; she opened the Bible at another place, and put it back with the leaf turned down just as he had left it in his own place. When he took up the book on his return he seemed for a moment lost, then fixed his attention upon the passage to which she had opened, and from that preached a discourse which to some of his people seemed the ablest that he had given for years.
This article was created by pulling fun bits from William B. Sprague’s Annals of the American Unitarian Pulpit, leaving out the theology and religious disputes. The Unitarian-Universalist Historical Society offers a biography of West that focuses on his liberal religious views rather than his eccentricities. The Harvard Square Library has another, from Heralds of a Liberal Faith.
After reading these tales, I wondered if later generations might have exaggerated West’s absent-mindedness. Perhaps these stories came mostly from late in his life, when his memory was failing, rather than from his prime. Or perhaps folks hung jokes about absent-mindedness on West’s name in the same way that Benjamin Franklin got credited with all witty remarks, and the Rev. Mather Byles, Sr., got blamed for all bad puns.
TOMORROW: Then I looked into West’s visit to Gen. Washington’s headquarters.

Basically, the argument (which I have espoused) is that Republicans have an advantage when it comes to map-making because their voters are much more diffuse and spread out, while Democratic voters tend to be more concentrated in urban areas. So while Republicans have a bunch of districts that they generally win with 55 or 60 percent, Democrats have many more districts that are 70 percent-plus Democratic performing.
Wellpretty clear that politics do inform people's decisions when they move -- to a significant extent.
The data show that 77 percent of people who are "consistently liberal" favor urban communities, while 75 percent of "consistent conservatives" favor a more spacious lifestyle. And there's a pretty smooth progression as you move along the political continuum between the two.
Indeed, just 4 percent of consistent conservatives say that if they could live anywhere, it would be in the city, while 76 percent prefer small towns and rural areas. Conversely, just 31 percent of consistent liberals say they prefer small-town or rural life, while 67 percent favor the city and suburbs.
Now, just because liberals like cities and Republicans like small towns doesn't mean that people are actually moving accordingly. That's not quite what these data show -- at least not by themselves.
What they do show, though, is that it's pretty clear people at least desire the kind of setting that tends to fit their politics. And, thus, when they move, they will definitely be drawn to such areas -- if its feasible to move to them.
But how conscious are they of this? Are people actually attempting to move to new places with the express purpose of being around people with whom they agree politically?
Pew also asked people whether the political leanings of their neighbors was important to them, and 50 percent of consistent conservatives and 35 percent of consistent liberals said that they preferred politically similar neighbors.
Now, that might not seem overwhelming. After all, the other half of consistent conservatives and 65 percent of consistent liberals aren't saying that their neighbors' politics matter.
So why does this all benefit the GOP?
That suggests Republicans are much more likely to flee urban areas -- leaving ultra-concentrated Democrats districts -- than Democrats are to flee small towns and leave similarly concentrated GOP districts out there.
All of which reinforces -- and could even expand -- the GOP's "natural gerrymandering" advantage.

Ki.
They have worked with many dedicated staff to build Kidicorp Ltd to be New Zealand’s largest private early childhood education organisation with 256 centres and 4,800 employees spread from Kaitaia to Invercargill. Recently Kidicorp has also extended into the home-based ECE market.
Without doubt Kidicorp Ltd would have significant value to outside investors.
f Kidicorp’s quality features and community services in favour of returns to shareholders. They have therefore restructured the ownership of Kidicorp, making it a not-for-profit registered charity.
This is just a way for this money hungry company to pay less tax which will ace them millions into what.. Their own charitable trust. Everything the teachers do after work is unpaid, they work so hard and get no recognition. They don't care about their teachers Why would you send your children there. Think about all those centres applying for grants when there are real charities that need them.
I am personally yet to see anything that I could say was quality in any of the Kidicorp centers. Although this on the surface sounds like a great move for New Zealand children and families I do fear this is nothing more than a great business move and marketing ploy. If profit has not been an issue, how come their centers fundraise, including on one occasion I know of - to have a Christmas Party, and this on top of fees parents are charged.
Great name Angela :) I am not sure how many of the 256 centre's you have been to, but sorry to hear you have been disappointed so far.
Fundraising does not automatically equate to money making or profit does it? Lots of organisations fund raise for those little extras not in the budget. Even schools, kindergartens, sports teams that charge fees too. Hardly anyone questions their motives?
I would just like to add that whatever one may think about corporates, I have personally met some very high quality teachers in the Kidicorp Network. We need to be careful when making generalisations .
Hi Polly,I noted somebody on a FB page recently mentioned that they support the community including Plunket. Sadly, what you are saying is very possible.
