Max Verstappen demonstrated stellar performance at the recent Barcelona race, reigning supreme in every session and leading every lap. His triumphant achievement included securing a pole, victory, and fastest lap, culminating in a hat-trick.
Given his success in Montreal last year, where he won the race starting from pole, it’s challenging not to consider Verstappen a strong contender this time around. However, there are factors that could disrupt this prediction.
One such factor is Lewis Hamilton. He finished runner-up in Barcelona, a result of Mercedes’ effective upgrades. Matching Michael Schumacher’s record, Hamilton has seven wins in Montreal and is eager to surpass this record.
Another potential disruptor is Aston Martin. Despite lagging behind Mercedes and Ferrari in Spain, the team has promised to introduce a “step” upgrade in Canada. Fernando Alonso, having tasted victory in Montreal in his championship year of 2006, is another possible contender.
As F1 gears up for the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, we delve into the current performance trends.
POLE PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
In all but one of the seven races this season, Red Bull has secured pole position, with Verstappen clinching four. As noted, he also dominated in Canada last year, despite adverse weather conditions.
There is a slight possibility of rain this Saturday, but even if it occurs, Verstappen is still a strong contender for the lead. However, Sergio Perez’s recent lackluster performance in the second Red Bull vehicle could affect their team dominance.
The only non-Red Bull drivers who have secured front row starts are Alonso (twice), Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, and Mercedes’ George Russell. Any of these, along with Hamilton, could potentially challenge Verstappen, though overtaking seems unlikely.
In an unexpected turn of events, McLaren exhibited impressive performance in Barcelona. Despite being unsure about the source of this increased pace, Lando Norris has proven to be a strong competitor against his teammate Oscar Piastri, leading him 6-1 in qualifying.
Verstappen is the clear favourite for victory, standing at 9/25 odds. However, if Perez can shake off his recent challenges and given the quality of his vehicle, his 5/1 odds could provide a good return. Hamilton, with 10/1 odds, is also an interesting contender.
There is a high chance for the top three spots to feature three different teams, particularly if Perez’s performance remains subpar. Mercedes, Ferrari, and Aston Martin are closely matched.
However, considering Verstappen’s 1/5 odds for a podium, and Hamilton and Alonso at 9/10 each, it might be beneficial to consider George Russell (2/1) or Lance Stroll (16/1), racing on his home ground in the second Aston Martin, as broader options.
Predicting the top six finishers in Canada could be intriguing. Up to now, only Norris (in Australia) and Esteban Ocon (in Monaco) outside the top four teams – Red Bull, Mercedes, Aston Martin, and Ferrari – have managed a top-six finish.
If there are cracks in the performance of the top four teams, Norris, considering his Barcelona form, could break into the top six, with surprisingly high odds of 8/1. The Alpines of Ocon and Pierre Gasly stand at 5/2 and 11/4 respectively.
Alfa Romeo Stake performed well in Canada last year, with Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu finishing seventh and eighth respectively. Given their recent top 10 finish in Barcelona, they are 4/1 to replicate that in Canada, and an enticing 19/1 for double points.
DARK HORSE SELECTIONS
If we consider the back end, Logan Sargeant’s Williams has ended last in two of the last three races. Bottas and Kevin Magnussen have also found themselves in similar positions twice this year. The odds for a repeat are 7/4 for Sargeant, 10/1 for Magnussen, and 11/1 for Bottas.
Regarding retirements, two out of seven races this season have seen all cars finish. Apart from the Australian race, which was marked by numerous initial crashes, only two or three cars have failed to finish the rest of the races.
Canada recorded three non-finishers last season, and among the top four teams, Ferrari and Aston Martin have seen the most retirements, with two each. Aston Martin was the first to retire in both instances, with 10/1 odds for a repeat.
The last Canadian race without speed control was back in 2015, and the odds for a safety car period this year are 2/5. The previous four races have all seen a full SC (apart from a VSC in 2016), so a repeat is highly likely.
NOTE: Odds are accurate as of the time of writing.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Canadian Grand Prix Analysis

Published Date: 10 Nov 2019 from NSW Rural Fire Service
Tuesday will be a dangerous day.
Based on the latest forecast, there is likely to be widespread Severe and Extreme fire danger. This is expected to stretch from the Queensland border to the south coast, and across the Central West.
There is already extensive fire activity across the north coast and northern NSW areas. These fires won’t be contained in time.
Under these conditions, these fires will spread quickly and will threaten homes and lives.
These conditions will be as bad, if not worse, than those experienced on Friday as they will be across a much broader area including large population centres like Sydney.
There are significant resources committed to fires and they are limited.
If you are threatened by fire, you may not get help.
Monitor conditions over the next few days. Use the time now to get ready.
Stay up to date on bush fires in your area and take responsibility for your own safety.

Carried – A Reflection
The Day Dawns
The alarm buzzes with an intensity that shakes me from a dream of better things. I sluggishly jump out of bed heading to the alarm, wisely placed twenty feet from my bed, making sure I am definitely awake before I can turn it off. Another day has dawned. When I get up, I am not thinking “praise the Lord.” I’m only thinking of turning off the alarm. I have no idea what this day will bring; good or bad, both or neither.
Even on the best of days, work remains undone when the evening comes. Much has happened, bringing me closer to my goals and, at times, moving me further away. Frustrations, joys, disappointments, excitement, despair, and unbridled hope coalesce into daily days. I can plan my day, but my day tends to plan me, or remind me that I’m not as in control as I pretend to be.
I come home at the end of the day and fall into the chair, thankful that the day finally fades into night. Some evenings find me content, knowing tasks were finished, challenges addressed, and plans created. Other evenings find me wondering what went wrong and what I can do to get back on track.
Captured and Carried
This verse captures me. I wonder about the Psalmist. When did David realize that throughout the day he was being carried? When did he recognize that through it all, whatever “it” might be, he was not walking alone, but actually being carried? Psalm 68 is one of deep praise. David saw the wonderful works of God, where I struggle to see.
David also realized that God worked in his life. He knew God was caring him each day. He carries me as well…and you. No matter what your day, no matter how good, no matter how bad, no matter how close you get to your goals, no matter how many things get in the way and keep you from your objectives, you are carried in the arms of God.
May this day be a day of praise as you remember you are carried in the arms of a loving God.

Leafy greens get an early start at Mockingbird Hill
Green leafy vegetables are good sources of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin A, C, and K.
Darlene Carlson, owner of Mockingbird Hill Gardens in rural Lincolnville, grows a wide variety of greens that she sells at farmer’s markets in Hillsboro and Marion.
The greens currently growing in her garden were started in her greenhouse and transplanted to her garden around April 1. She used cypress chips as mulch.
The colors range from purple to dark green and light green. The vegetables include celery, kale, Swiss chard, broccoli, endive, arugula, romaine, collards, mustard greens, and Garland Chrysanthemum, a Chinese original.
Carlson prepares the greens for sale by picking leaves from each of the plants and combining them in a zip-lock bag. The greens can be served in salads or cooked.
With good care, Carlson can keep the greens growing and harvestable from early spring to fall. She said she freezes whatever she doesn’t sell, using it for cooking later.
“Some people might not like these greens,” she said. “But we like them because they have a lot of nutrition.”
Everything Carlson produces is grown organically. She enhances the garden soil each fall and spring by adding organic matter such as compost, manure, and rice hulls. Feather meal and blood meal are added to provide nitrogen. Where necessary, she uses peat moss and sulphur to increase the acidity of the soil.
Many of these enhancements are purchased in Lawrence, which is a hotbed of organic gardening.
Carlson uses drip hoses to irrigate the soil. Her husband, Glenn, is her right-hand man, helping her wherever needed.
Later in the season, when destructive bugs will begin to appear and attack the plants, Carlson will be scouting for them and picking them off one by one.
The leafy greens are just the tip of the iceberg for Carlson. She produces a wide array of other vegetables, fruits, cut flowers, and ornamental plants. At least 900 plants fill the greenhouse, waiting to be sold or transferred to garden beds.
Carlson plans to be at Marion when the first farmer’s market opens May 6.

Prostitution in Iraq is illegal. Punishment can be severe, including life imprisonment. Many women fleeing the war in Iraq have been forced into prostitution. Some sources claim up to 50 thousand Iraqi refugee women in Syria , many of them widows or orphans, have been forced into prostitution. The Iraqi Kurdistan region has reportedly received "women and children trafficked from the rest of Iraq for prostitution ". Soran Mama Hama , a young reporter for Livin Magazine wrote an article entitled "Prostitutes invade Kirkuk", which was published on June 15, Hama was shot and died in front of his home in Kirkuk.
In some cases, Iraqi teenage boys and young men are the prostitutes. In these cases the prostitutes are typically motivated by poverty and are mostly heterosexual. Iraq is a source and destination country for women and children subjected to sex trafficking. Refugees and IDPs face heightened risk of trafficking due to their economic and social vulnerability and lack of security and protections. NGOs report trafficking networks in the IKR target refugees and IDPs, operating with assistance from local officials, including judges, officials from the Asayish forces, and border agents.
In , members of the IKR Parliament and NGOs reported some personnel from the Asayish forces facilitated the sex trafficking of women and girls in Syrian refugee camps in the IKR, primarily in Domiz refugee camp, as well as sex trafficking of girls outside of the camps.
In , NGOs reported Asayish guards not only allowed men to enter a camp to solicit commercial sex with refugee girls, but the guards also solicited sex from the refugee girls, including granting them permission to leave the camp in exchange for sex. Reports from indicated IDPs and some Syrian refugee women were forced into prostitution by a trafficking network in hotels and brothels in Baghdad , Basrah , and other cities in southern Iraq after agents of the network promised to resettle them from the IKR.
Reports continue to suggest some Iraqi law enforcement officials have allegedly frequented brothels known for sex trafficking or accepted bribes to allow sex trafficking.

First inside image of Worcester’s proposed new arts centre revealed
The first internal image of the new arts centre being proposed for Worcester has today been released.
The image shows a cross-section of what the 500-seat new auditorium could look like in the new city centre-based performance arts venue.
The arts centre is at the heart of the revamp of the northern end of the city centre, which is being delivered by Worcester City Council with the support of £17.9 million from the Government's Future High Streets Fund.
It is proposed to be created within the existing Corn Exchange in Angel Street and Scala building in Angel Place, returning the latter to its original purpose as one of the city's main entertainment destinations.
The new image has been published as councillors prepare to address the next stage in the ambitious plan to create a thriving new performance arts destination in Worcester.
When they meet on 6 September, members of the Policy and Resources Committee will be asked to give the go-ahead for a planning application to be developed for the scheme.
They will also be asked to give approval for the appointment of a construction contractor for the new arts centre, Among other decisions.
A report to the committee reveals that the new performance arts venue would include a 500-seat main theatre and auditorium, a 110-seat studio theatre space, eating and drinking areas, and fully accessible entrances and facilities, suitable for wheelchair-users.
Cllr James Stanley, Vice Chair of the City Council's Policy and Resources Committee, said: "This is an important and ambitious project for Worcester, which aims to put performance and the arts back in the heart of the city centre, providing entertainment for our communities and bringing a significant boost to our city's growing status as a tourist destination.
"I hope the committee will back these essential next steps in bringing this inspiring vision into reality."
It is anticipated that Worcester Theatres, which currently runs the Swan Theatre and Huntingdon Hall, will take on the running of the new arts centre. Following recent stakeholder consultation events, the Council will be having further meetings with community arts organisations to discuss the future of the Swan Theatre.

text: Hi everyone! I'm brand new to this awesome world of raising beautiful baby chicks. I posted on another thread with regard to my coop and wondering if the size was appropriate. I was wanting to get some general advice... I've been scouring these message boards reading all that I can, but I still have some questions. Since I got the first two chicks, (I now have 6 thanks to chicken math), I've been giving them water daily that has 2 tbsp raw organic apple cider vinegar per gallon. Every day, it seems to have a bit of mold in the container. I don't know if it's because of the temperature of the brooder or if it's ok and not to be worried about. I clean it thoroughly each day and refill it. I keep an old gallon milk jug made up with the water at room temp, ready to go each day. I'm also feeding them non-medicated starter feed. I was told that the ACV would prevent the pasty butt and negate the need for medicated feed. Is this good advice? Also, should they be on medicated feed before transitioning them outside? Also, the chicks are now about a week and a half almost two weeks old, and I'm giving them chick grit and planned to start giving them organic treats at the two week mark. Again, would this be ok too? I have them in an old kennel converted into a brooder with a heat lamp shining in the corner. They tend to stay about halfway from the direct beam of light so I've backed it up a bit...... I'm trying to spend more personal time with them, as I want them to be comfortable with me and come to me. If I lay on the floor and keep my hand out, they tend to come up to me out of curiosity and play with my hand. Occasionally I can pick one up and let it and put them back down easily. So I guess I'm just looking for any ideas and advice about what I'm doing and if I'm doing anything right/wrong. Also any advice in general would be so greatly appreciated! You are all so awesome and I love reading about your experiences! Take care!

The Central Hotel Upton Park is located in London's East End, a pleasant and peaceful district (no matter what Eastenders will have you believe) full of character and personality. Those eager to experience the real London will be delighted to learn that the hotel is actually situated above a Victorian pub, The Central, which is still open for business today and guests of the hotel will enjoy mingling with the locals and wiling away their evenings as only Londoners know how.
The hotel itself, as well as being a budget hotel, has a strong emphasis on independence and is quite hostel-like with its in-room catering facilities, shared bathroom and shared kitchen. This is certainly a budget hotel and ideal for backpackers or students.
The hotel is just north of the Docklands area, a short tube ride from central London. The nearest tube stations are Upton Park and East Ham, both of which are roughly a 10 minute walk from the hotel and are situated on the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City Lines, meaning that guests can be at all of London's main tourist spots in little more than half an hour. It is also well placed for those wishing to visit Greenwich or the O2 arena, which is just across the river.
Barking, east London. Nearest tube stations are Upton Park and East Ham, both of which are located on the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City Lines.
WiFi - bar - central heating - games room - hotel safe - self-catering kitchen
Parking is available.
WiFi - television - fridge - microwave - toaster - kettle - tea and coffee making facilities
Guests arriving by air can take either the Heathrow Express to Paddington station (approximately 15 minutes) or the Gatwick Express to Victoria (about 30 minutes). From Paddington guests can take either the District, Circle or Hammersmith & City Line to Upton Park tube station. Those arriving through Victoria should take the District Line. Once at Upton Park guests should exit right and walk south along Green Street, taking the fifth left onto Barking Road. The hotel is about a 5 minute walk along the road.
Those arriving by car will find that the most direct route through London will be to leave the M25 on the east side at Junction 30. from here guests should make their way towards central London on the A13 until they reach the A406, onto which they should take a right. Guests should leave the A406 by turning left onto the A124 Barking Road, where the hotel is situated about a mile along.

When Nintendo announced the first Super Mario Kart game in the 1990s, the titular plumber had mainly been doing 2D platforming. Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros. 3, and of course, the one that started it all, Super Mario Bros. But I’m sure someone at the Japanese giant realised he could be so much more — so they put him in a kart.
Due to that bold move almost 30 years ago, Mario has become one of Nintendo’s most reliable characters, which is why you have recently found him in so much of its stuff. He’s golfed, smashed, thrown baseballs, and even shot hoops with his friends. Since then, the series has sold over 160 million copies worldwide, leading to Mario Kart appearing in arcades and toys, a theme park ride, and even a real-life but unofficial Mario Kart race. But we won’t be including those in this list. No, this is strictly for the mainline games.
Let's get it ranked by counting down the best in the series.
Mario Kart Tour
This concept could’ve been something special. But the abundance of microtransactions, having to use a phone to control a kart where in the console entries you can use an analogue stick, and it being a gacha game hampers the experience. And yet, Niantic and Nintendo still insist on monetising their mobile games this way, so it has to be last on our list. Still, the concept is excellent; having Mario Kart Tour easily accessible on something everyone has is impressive, but it’s not as great as right now. Thank goodness we got these tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, though.
Super Mario Kart
This game is the one that started it all. Now, before you get mad, let me explain. I am not refuting the importance of Super Mario Kart, but when you look back, later entries have greatly expanded on the formula. I don’t think anyone would argue against that. However, there isn’t any reason to play this one unless you have it on the original SNES and want to experience history. Still, phenomenal that Nintendo got it right on their first try. So much of the series was born here, but it’s still really old.
Mario Kart: Live Home Circuit
Nintendo finally did something unique with the series and brought Mario into your kitchen, with this title including a real-world toy companion that you can use to create your very own courses. While it’s a pain to set up, seeing the characters race around your house with the elaborate courses you’ve created is an incredible feeling. For around €80 (£68), though? That’s a hard sell for many people, and it'll cost you double that if you want to race with your siblings. I still recommend trying this out, though — it’s a neat thing to experience, and it’s also not something other companies are doing right now.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit
If it’s super, it must be good. Super Circuit is an upgrade from the original SNES entry, now on the Game Boy Advance. It features Quick Play, a recognisable cast of characters, and the same wall-bouncing gameplay as its predecessor. Coins are back, too, so that’s a bonus. The controls are more refined, and the visuals look great. There isn’t any reason to go back to it without some third-party enhancements, though.
Mario Kart 7
While this might not seem innovative, it’s a good time. The underwater and gliding mechanics are fun, and use the 3DS’ glasses-free 3D. We also have to thank those mechanics for appearing in Mario Kart 8 and Deluxe, and I also played it a lot when I was younger. But like I mentioned, it doesn’t do much other than the bare minimum, and the music isn’t that great either. That said, I still loved it.
Mario Kart 64
Mario Kart 64 is a worthy contender for one of the best Mario title screens. Just him yelling the name of the game happily like that makes me feel warm and cosy. It was hard not putting it higher on this list, too, but games like DS and Wii outmatch this one, in my opinion. I love some of the tracks, though — Royal Raceway especially. Still, I would be lying if I said I didn’t prefer the other games.
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
If it has two exclamation marks, it must be better than Mario Kart 64. The Mario Kart for GameCube was the first to use 3D models for characters, and included the birth of Baby Park. This one seems to be the most revered by fans these days. I’m not sure why — maybe it was the two characters thing? That made it unique. I don’t know; it didn’t appeal to me as much as the other two games that followed. Rocket start is pretty cool, though.
Mario Kart Wii
Coconut Mall! Mario Kart Wii is not as beautiful as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but it makes up for it with memorable tracks and insane item balancing. Going for all the characters will make you want to curse at the Mario gods, and I love it. This game is the one that feels the most alive for me, as later titles feel dumbed down. The kart selection is better too!
Mario Kart DS
The best single-player Mario Kart. Mario Kart DS has a mission mode where if you’re not in the mood for racing, you can blow off steam by defeating a boss. I love this game, and I would also be remiss if I didn’t at least mention that you can draw on your kart. Bring back mission mode!
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Could it have been anything else? It has the best track design, the best music, the best visuals, an improved battle mode, 48 new tracks, plus a bunch more. You can even play it at the airport with two people by popping the Joy-Con off your Nintendo Switch. It’s a modern masterpiece in arcade track racing and deserves to be played by all. Whether a newcomer or a seasoned veteran plays it, this game has a little something for everyone.
So there you have it: all of the mainline Mario Kart games ranked. I wonder what the series will do next — Nintendo Kart, maybe? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Our Assessment: This is an early and high quality Radom. Wikipedia: Originally designed by Piotr Wilniewczyc and Jan Skrzypinski in 1930 at the Fabryka Broni (Arms Factory) in Radom under Director Kazimierz Oldakowski, it was adopted in 1935 as the standard handgun of the Polish Army. Considered by many to be one of the finest handguns ever produced, it is highly prized among collectors of firearms. The design was generally based on American firearms inventor John Browning’s Colt M1911A1, operating on the short-recoil principle, with the barrel being cammed down and away from the locking lugs in the slide. Unlike M1911, the barrel was not cammed by a link, but by a ledge of sorts, which contacts a portion of the barrel and forces it down as it is moved rearward with the slide by the recoil force, similarly as in Browning’s FN Hi-Power pistol and Spanish Ruby 0.45 ACP. It differs from M1911A1 also in other details. Its characteristic feature was a triangular grip shape, wider at the bottom, offering good ergonomics and firm grip. On the right side grip cover, the pistol had letters VIS in a triangle, on the left side—FB (for Fabryka Broni—”Arms Factory”) The handgun was prepared in late 1930, and at the beginning of 1931 the first pistols were ready for testing. Initially it was named WiS (an acronym of the Polish designers’ names); later the name was changed to Vis, meaning “force” in Latin, with the wz. abbreviation for wzór (“model”). The tests proved that the handgun was very accurate and stable (due to its size and mass, most stresses are absorbed and not passed on the shooter); while at the same time remaining reliable after firing more than 6,000 rounds. The Vis was generally regarded as one of the best military pistols of that period. Production started in the state armory Fabryka Broni in Radom in late 1935, and the following year it was introduced as the standard weapon of Polish infantry and cavalry officers. Successively, other units were to be equipped, and by 1942 all other handguns were scheduled to be withdrawn from service. By mid-1938, it was introduced to the armored and air forces. Before the Invasion of Poland, approximately 49,400 (out of 90,000 ordered) were delivered to the army. There was also a small information series of .45 ACP version, with 7 round magazine, but they were not produced in greater series. A .22 LR variant also existed, but no details are known, and its series was not produced in great numbers. After the Polish defeat in 1939, the Germans took over the Radom Armory and continued production of the Vis under the new name of 9 mm Pistole 645(p), which was for some reason often rendered as P 35(p) (the suffix “p” means “polnische”) (the German pistols of the first series had inscriptions VIS Mod.35 and P.35 (p) on the left side). Up to 1945, between 312,000 and 380,000 were produced and used by the German paratroopers and police.

THE SHARP END
By EMMA CORNFORD
A THORN-COVERED weed capable of puncturing tractor tyres will cause a problem as big as camphor laurel or Parramatta grass, a Braunstone farmer has warned.
Iven Heldt said nashi pear root, growing on more than 100 acres near Bom Bom Creek, had already taken over the area between Dinjerra Road and the Pacific Highway. He said it was starting to spread even further afield, including onto his property and neighbouring land.
According to Mr Heldt, council workers who had cleared some of the weed near Dinjerra Road discovered the thorn of the weed had punctured the tyres of their tractor.
"I've only noticed it (nashi pear) for around two or three years but it's been going around. I've got trees as high as the fence and I noticed one the other day which was seven to eight foot high," Mr Heldt said.
"Where it's growing out near Dinjerra Road, it's virtually in sand and clay so what will it do when it gets onto river country? If we get heavy rains then it will wash the fruit down Glenugie Creek to Ulmarra and it will spread even further down there."
Mr Heldt said the plant was incredibly difficult to remove and should be declared a noxious weed before it spreads out of control. He said the weed also posed a concern for cattle farmers because scratches and scars from the thorns, which are long and sharp, could cause damage to the hide of beef cattle.
"The fact is the authorities will not look at it as a noxious weed because it's not in a big enough area. But it's going to spread ... and get worse and worse," Mr Heldt said.
"Camphor laurel is a problem here and so is Parramatta grass, but when that first came here people didn't know what it was and we'll never get rid of it now. This could be the next thing."
Clarence Valley Council chief weeds officer Reece Luxton said even though the weed was a good example of 'land being allowed to go feral', he doubted it would be labelled a noxious weed.
"Unfortunately it's not likely to be declared a noxious weed because its spread patterns haven't determined to us that it will take off but we're still keeping an eye on it and gathering some background information before jumping in feet first."
However, he said the weed was currently under investigation and tests had been carried out for the past 12 months to find a way to kill the root.
"We've got a number of chemical control trials going on at a property down there," he said.
"The results are variable depending on what the situation is (so) we're just keeping a watch on it and seeing where it's going."

Edgar Cayce on Angels
by Kevin Todeschi
We currently have 1 in stock.
Just who are guardian angels, archangels, spirit guides, and divine messengers?
Even the words can produce comfort, reassurance, and hope, for they suggest the presence of celestial beings who are concerned for our welfare and are somehow involved in our lives and activities here on earth. In hundreds of readings given over a period of decades, famed psychic Edgar Cayce repeatedly confirmed the existence of angels and spirit guides.
Are these emissaries of light spiritual beings that come directly from God? Are they somehow responsible for bringing us information and guidance? If they truly exist, as suggested by the Cayce readings, then what role do they play in our lives, and how can we enhance that role?
Cayce's readings not only provide insights into biblical accounts of angels that have been forgotten by history, but he goes on to describe how, in the face of the Oneness of God, the nature of "fallen angels" might be very different than we have ever supposed. On more than 20 occasions, two specific angels also spoke through Edgar Cayce in an effort to bring information from the world of spirit into the material realm. And what may be most amazing, Cayce taught that we as individuals can most effectively open ourselves up to the assistance of the angelic realms by simply seeking our own personal spiritual growth. This angelic wisdom is shared alongside real-life angelic testimonies in this latest metaphysical masterpiece by bestselling author Kevin J. Todeschi.

Fifty Shades of Ladies (FSL), GS’ inaugural women’s book club, aims to provide a female-empowering environment where girls can get together and discuss the books they have read.
The main purpose of the organization is to bring together women from all different shades and walks of life based on their literary interests, according to the club’s MyInvolvement page.
The club was started by Taylor Brown, a junior here at Georgia Southern.
“I hope to make Fifty Shades of Ladies a very well-known club on campus for its uniqueness and I hope to drive other students on campus to read more than just their textbooks,” Brown, junior health education and promotion major and president of Fifty Shades of Ladies, said.
Being a part of a book club allows members the opportunity to actually enjoy reading, instead of being forced to read books for class.
“The idea came about when I was looking to join and book club on campus and found that there wasn’t one,” Brown said.
The club is open to all women who hold at least a 2.0 GPA.
According to the National Literacy Trust, reading can also increase an individual’s understanding of other cultures, their general knowledge, community participation and a greater overall understanding of human nature.
In addition to the obvious benefits of reading like increasing vocabulary, pleasure reading also provides an opportunity to escape the real world and relieve the stress of day-to-day life.
“[Reading] is super relaxing and a different experience from a movie, it makes me forget about things I have going on in my life,” Dana Beckman, freshman political science major, said.
Many students burn out on reading after being forced to read in various English classes, but choosing to read is a completely different thing.
Participating in a book club like Fifty Shades of Ladies can provide members many opportunities.
Information for participating in the club is available on MyInvolvement and potential members must fill out the application on the website to be accepted in.
According to their page, the main purpose of the organization “is to bring together women from all different shades and walks of life based on their literary interests”.
This is FSL’s first semester and there are already plans in the works for how to strengthen the club for the future.
“Next semester we will begin having what we call Open Discussion. It will provide a chance for students who aren’t a part of the organization to participate in the conversation about our current book,” Brown said.
Next semester will be filled with opportunities for students not involved to be involved and learn more about membership, with a FSL Week in the works.

No recent scientific enterprise has proved as alluring, terrifying, and filled with extravagant promise and frustrating setbacks as artificial intelligence. The award-winning author Melanie Mitchell, a leading computer scientist, now reveals its turbulent history and the recent surge of apparent successes, grand hopes, and emerging fears that surround AI. In Artificial Intelligence, Mitchell turns to the most urgent questions concerning AI today: How intelligent—really—are the best AI programs? How do they work? What can they actually do, and when do they fail? How humanlike do we expect them to become, and how soon do we need to worry about them surpassing us? Along the way, she introduces the dominant methods of modern AI and machine learning, describing cutting-edge AI programs, their human inventors, and the historical lines of thought that led to recent achievements. She meets with fellow experts like Douglas Hofstadter, the cognitive scientist and Pulitzer Prize–winning author of the modern classic Gödel, Escher, Bach, who explains why he is “terrified” about the future of AI. She explores the profound disconnect between the hype and the actual achievements in AI, providing a clear sense of what the field has accomplished and how much farther it has to go. Interweaving stories about the science and the people behind it, Artificial Intelligence brims with clear-sighted, captivating, and approachable accounts of the most interesting and provocative modern work in AI, flavored with Mitchell’s humor and personal observations. This frank, lively book will prove an indispensable guide to understanding today’s AI, its quest for “human-level” intelligence, and its impacts on all of our futures.

Aimed at the computer-literate person wishing to find out about the reality of exploiting the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) in practical, maintainable software systems, this text tries to avoid the hype usually associated with the subject. Instead, it presents the realities, the problems, the current state of the art, and future directions.
In this book Dr. Amit Ray describes the principles, algorithms and frameworks for incorporating compassion, kindness and empathy in machine. This is a milestone book on Artificial Intelligence. Compassionate AI address the issues for creating solutions for some of the challenges the humanity is facing today, like the need for compassionate care-giving, helping physically and mentally challenged people, reducing human pain and diseases, stopping nuclear warfare, preventing mass destruction weapons, tackling terrorism and stopping the exploitation of innocent citizens by monster governments through digital surveillance. The book also talks about compassionate AI for precision medicine, new drug discovery, education, and legal system. Dr. Ray explained the DeepCompassion algorithms, five design principles and eleven key behavioral principle of compassionate AI systems. The book also explained several compassionate AI projects. Compassionate AI is the best practical guide for AI students, researchers, entrepreneurs, business leaders looking to get true value from the adoption of compassion in machine learning technology.
The development of Artificial Intelligence has brought with it many new questions, not least the legal, moral and ethical implications of the technology. This book not only looks at present-day answers to questions but offers much original material. Some of the material may seem controversial at present. Nevertheless, as the questions posed are tested in real life, the author believes many of the ideas may soon become the accepted wisdom. This book will interest those studying Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, as well as Philosophy and Jurisprudence. In addition, the ideas are highly relevant to legal professionals who are likely to be involved in the implications of computer technology, now and in the future.
This volume is the first in a series which deals with the challenge of AI issues, gives updates of AI methods and applications, and promotes high quality new ideas, techniques and methodologies in AI. This volume contains articles by 38 specialists in various AI subfields covering theoretical and application issues.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, AI'97, held in Perth, Australia, in November/December 1997. The volume presents 48 revised full papers selected from a total of 143 submissions. Also included are three keynote talks and one invited paper. The book is divided into topical sections on constraint satisfaction and scheduling, computer vision, distributed AI, evolutionary computing, knowledge-based systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, learning and machine vision, machine learning, NLP and user modeling, neural networks, robotics and machine recognition, and temporal qualitative reasoning.
Paradigms of AI Programming is the first text to teach advanced Common Lisp techniques in the context of building major AI systems. By reconstructing authentic, complex AI programs using state-of-the-art Common Lisp, the book teaches students and professionals how to build and debug robust practical programs, while demonstrating superior programming style and important AI concepts. The author strongly emphasizes the practical performance issues involved in writing real working programs of significant size. Chapters on troubleshooting and efficiency are included, along with a discussion of the fundamentals of object-oriented programming and a description of the main CLOS functions. This volume is an excellent text for a course on AI programming, a useful supplement for general AI courses and an indispensable reference for the professional programmer.

A winner for the weekend, this banana French toast recipe is so easy to make and even easier to eat.
What’s better than French toast with bananas and maple syrup? Not much.
Thick slices of bread dipped in a cinnamon spiced batter, fried in butter until golden and served with a delicious warm chocolate-flavoured maple syrup this is the ultimate sweet treat for breakfast or brunch. Use a chunky farmhouse loaf and make sure the slices are quite thick – if they’re too thin the bread will soak up too much of the batter and go a bit mushy.
Slices of sweetened brioche bread can be used instead of white bread but omit the sugar from the batter. For a lighter dish serve the toast with natural yoghurt instead of chocolate syrup.
- 2 eggs
- 150ml milk
- 25g caster sugar
- 1tsp ground cinnamon
- 25g butter
- 4 thick slices white bread
- 6tbsp maple syrup
- 50g plain chocolate, grated
- 2 bananas, peeled and sliced
Place the eggs and milk in a bowl and whisk together thoroughly. Whisk in the sugar and cinnamon.
Dip the slices of bread in the egg mixture making sure they are completely coated. Heat a large knob of butter in a heavy-based frying pan until foaming and add the soaked bread slices. Fry for 1-2mins on each side until golden brown.
Meanwhile, place the maple syrup and chocolate in a small and heat gently, stirring, until the chocolate has melted into the syrup.
Serve the French toast topped with the sliced bananas and drizzled with the warm chocolate syrup.
Top tip for making Banana maple French toast
Scatter over a handful of blueberries, raspberries or sliced strawberries instead of the sliced bananas, if liked.

The Blackman Blaze were on the road for the second week in a row to take on Ravenwood. Blackman, coming off a tough loss in week 1, looked to get their offense going early. They took on a Ravenwood team that stomped Centennial last week 48-0.
It was all Ravenwood in the first quarter as they scored two touchdowns and converted a field goal to go up 17-0. Blackman could not find an answer to stop the Ravenwood offense as the Raptors would score again early in the second quarter to increase their lead to 24.
Blackman would get on the board late in the second quarter with a field goal, however on the following kickoff Ravenwood would take it to the house to make it 31-3 going into halftime.
Ravenwood would score the only points of the third quarter and take a 38-3 lead into the final quarter of play.
Blackman would get their first touchdown on a long pass play. They would miss the extra point, but made it a 38-9 game.
Blackman falls to 0-2 on the season and will look to turn things around next week.

The Companion to The Mechanical Muse: The Piano, Pianism and Piano Music, C.1760–1850 by Derek Carew
English | Dec 31, 2007 | ISBN: 0754663116 | 328 Pages | PDF | 6 MB
Intended as a supplement to "The Mechanical Muse: the Piano, Piano Music and Pianism c.1760-1850", this Companion provides additional information which, largely for reasons of space but also of continuity, it was not possible or desirable to include in that volume. The book is laid out alphabetically and full biographical entries are provided for all musical figures mentioned, including composers, performers, theoreticians and teachers, as well as piano makers and publishers of music, within the period covered by "The Mechanical Muse". There are also entries on figures of importance from outside the period but whose influence is palpably important within it, such as J.S. Bach.

Three years ago, TCU Press published Grace & Gumption: Stories of Fort Worth Women. We saw it as the first step in compiling a history of what women had accomplished for our city, a subject hitherto overlooked, though we had lots of masculine heroes and role models. There were wonderful women, and fourteen contributors attempted to bring their stories together in one volume. It was a hit and sold well. Now a project that I not so modestly admit that I initiated has come to publication: Grace & Gumption: The Cookbook.When we first talked about it, there was some discussion that if we wer trying to prove that women had roles outside the home, we were blindsiding ourselves with a cookbook. But we generally agreed that until recently cooking almost always fell to the woman, no matter what else she was doing outside the home. Some of the recipes reflect this tendency for women to cook in a hurry, using easy and fast recipes.
According to one review, it's a great mix of academic-style social history with a recipe book. There are recipes you won't want to try--the first in the book is how to cook a squirrel--but more contemporary recipes from Joe T. Garcia's restaurant or Jon Bonnell, whose grandmother was one of Fort Worth's best known philanthropists. The older recipes are more fun, but you'll want too cook some of the newer ones. I particularly like the "Texas Tingle Dip" that calls for 1 can RO*TEL tomatoes, 1 can mushroom soup, and 8 oz. cheddar cheese. I admit I scorched it the first time I tried to make it, but from now on I'll use the double boiler. Then there's the recipe in my chapter for Hollandaise sauce that boggles my mind: 1/2 c. Hellman's mayonnaise, 1 tsp. French's yellow mustard, 1 tsp. soy sauce, 1/2 stick melted butter. Like no Hollandaise I've ever tasted!
I hosted a pot-luck happy hour tonight for the contributors to the two books--okay we lost two and added two new ones for the cookbook--but we have become a bonded group. We were each to bring something from our chapter. We teased Joyce Williams about bringing squirrel (she brought cornbread and a corn and pea mix), and we praised Brenda Sanders-Wise for the pound cake she brought. My chapter--"Ranch Women, Cowgirls, and Wildcatters"--didn't offer much in the way of appetizers, but I figured Electra Waggoner Wharton probably served finger sandwiches, so that's what I did. I made a filling of mayo, cream cheese, cayenne, grated sharp cheddar, and chopped, drained sun-dried tomatoes--not what Electra would have served (it was sort of pimiento cheese with sun-dried tomatoes instead of pimientos). I meant to also make finger sandwiches of cucumber, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and chives--but the cheese/tomato mixture made so many I abandoned that idea, and now I have finger sandwiches in the fridge, plus a whole cucumber and a lot of cream cheese. Sounds like good leftover eating to me.
Anway, it's a great book. Want a Christms gift for one or more friends? Try this. Want a speaker for a women's group? We're available--one or more of us. We love this book, and we want the world to know about it. Just holler at me at firstname.lastname@example.org and let me know if you want some of us to show up for an event. I can't promised boiled squirrel, but hey!


My son asked if I'd loan him a rifle for a few months, and of course, I'm happy to do so. He's back in Louisiana now and doesn't want to lug his Model 10 FLP through the woods. It happens that I've got a Handi-Rifle in .308 Winchester, his favorite caliber. He's left-handed, so with the Handi Rifle he won't have to worry about being on the wrong side of the rifle.
After church, I took out the Handi and changed the hammer spur from the right side to the left, then swapped over the Allen ammo holder to the left side of the stock. Total time to convert a Handi-Rifle from right hand to left, about 10 minutes.
I'll also include a box of ammo for the rifle, consisting of Reloder 15 powder and the 150 grain Nosler Ballistic-Tip bullet. That little rifle launches that load at about 2725 fps and should be good for anything the finds in the Central Louisiana woods.

I am so thrilled to formally announce that we have decided to launch the second Gifted Realm series, The Gifted Realm: Academy, as a weekly serial right here on my website.
Here are a few questions I've fielded about the new series:
What does that mean exactly?
It means every Wednesday starting tomorrow, January 18, 2017, a weekly installment of Dan Vindico, Rainer Lawson, and ALL of those stud-ly Haydenshire boys will be available to be read. They can also be delivered to your inbox each and every week. If you would like alerts when there is more story, you can sign up at the bottom of this blog post.
Why did you decide to release this series as a serial instead of books?
The Realm is truly the perfect serial story. It has a large cast of characters, lots of intricate plot twists and cliff hangers, and there really aren’t any good stopping points. If the serial goes well, I can keep it going for years.
It also is not a traditional romance. Although there is lots and lots of sexy sexiness and everyone ultimately gets a Happily Ever After, most of the couples are together at the beginning of the series and the plot is more about the couples working together to solve the mysteries.
Because I have two current more-traditional romance/erotic romance series I’m in the middle of and a new series we’re launching later in the year, this allows me to keep up with my publishing schedule AND share more Realm with all of you.
Will The Gifted Realm: Academy be just as sexy as the original series?
You bet you’re a$$ it will! Oh, now is probably a good time to tell you that there will also be language, just like the first series. I rarely read books without lots of sexy, and I never write them without it. I consider it an integral part of all of my character’s stories. So, yes, there will be sex scenes!! Lots of them!
How do I read the new series?
Each Wednesday morning there will be a new chapter posted right here on jillianneal.com. You can log on each week and read. I will post updates and reminders on Twitter and Facebook when there is a new post. You can also sign up to receive an email each time there is a new chapter available. All published chapters will always be available on my website so if you miss a week you can go back.
As a special treat, you can follow Garrett Haydenshire’s (one of the main characters of this series) ever-snarky but oh-so-sexy Twitter account @GiftedGarrett. He’ll tell you all about the posts, what he thinks of what’s going on in the story, and might even give you a few insider tips as to what’s coming next. Hey, maybe you can even get him to show off his inviable abs, on occasion. You never know what Garrett might do.
Do we have to pay to read?
The Academy series is run totally off of coffee and donations. You are free to enjoy each and every week without any cost to you at all. But if you want to buy me a Mug o’ Joe via a donation, I won’t turn you down.
I didn’t read the first series. Will I still know what’s going on?
There was a ton of world-building in the first series, but tomorrow’s post will cover all the things you’ll need to know about The Gifted Realm and ALL of the characters. The re-cap guide will be available with each and every post so if you need to reference it that won’t be a problem.
Sign up here to receive notifications of blog posts and new chapter postings. (If you already receive emails about my blog posts, you’re good to go.)

US retail giant Overstock has invested in blockchain technology specialist Peernova as part of its second tranche of Series A financing.
Formed through a merger between cloud mining contract provider CloudHashing and ASIC hardware designer HighBitcoin in early 2014, Peernova raised $8.6m in funding last December as it sought to accelerate its shift away from mining.
In statements, general manager of Overstock's Cryptocurrencies Group Judd Bagley framed Overstock's first investment in a bitcoin industry firm as a vote of confidence in the decentralized ledger-based technologies Peernova is currently building.
Bagley told CoinDesk:
Overstock invested $5m in the firm, a decision approved by its board of directors and that will be announced it in its next quarterly report to stockholders.
Peernova indicated that the funding has increased its total to-date financing to $19m in equity and debt financing.
Company representatives suggested the first entries in its new line of projects, focused on data security and finance, are to be released soon.
Bagley went on to suggest that Overstock is currently seeking to expand its venture finance investments in blockchain and decentralised ledger-based technology providers.
"We’re completely bought into the idea that decentralized ledgers will play a significant role in business going forward," Bagley said, adding that the company believes the technology could disrupt entire business verticals.
Bagley cited Medici, the decentralised stock exchange announced by Overstock in 2014, as an example of a project with such ambitious goals.
"There’s a huge opportunity to disrupt entire segments of the business ecosystem, particularly in cases where intermediaries introduce substantial frictional and transaction costs," he continued.
Medici is currently being developed as part of a special division at Overstock, though the project's original developers, Counterparty's Robby Dermody and Evan Wagner, have since departed to start financial market platform Symbiont.
While Peernova has attracted new investment, evidence suggests its older line of products continues to suffer from a poor reputation in the general market.
Though the HighBitcoin brand was discontinued, CloudHashing continues to attract criticisms from the wider community. At press time, its website is inactive.
A Twitter search for CloudHashing's handle reveals a small but vocal group of former investors who are seeking to get in touch with the company.
Further, Reddit forums details customers who report both losing money on mining contracts, and being asked to pay money to end services.
CoinDesk has contacted Peernova for more information but did not receive an immediate response.
