Los Angeles-area Republican mayor proposes mandating vaccines for some public-facing city employees
Lancaster, California, Mayor R. Rex Parris, a Republican who has served since 2008, called it a "no-brainer that if you have contact with the public that requires you to be within 6-feet of them you have to be vaccinated or we’ll help you find another job in the city to do until this crisis is over."
Those who refuse could be suspended without pay.
"We have an absolute right to deal with public health issues and do whatever’s necessary to protect the public health," he told FOX 11.
Parris said he thinks Americans should have the right to decide if they want to get the vaccine but city employees who work with the public need to think about others’ health.
"There are some risks" with the vaccine, "but the risks of not getting it outweighs them," Parris said.
The White House has received pushback over President Biden’s recent call for a door-to-door effort across the country that would involve volunteers giving vaccine information to those unsure about getting it.
"How about don’t knock on my door," Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, tweeted on July 6. "You’re not my parents. You’re the government. Make the vaccine available, and let people be free to choose. Why is that concept so hard for the left?"

As societal norms relax, many have questioned certain traditions and whether they should be altered. One debate that has popped up recently is whether students should be allowed to call teachers by their first names.
Recently, a survey was sent to the students of Glenwood High School about whether it was okay for students to call teachers by their surname. Of the 233 student responses, 70.8 percent said that it would be okay for students to call teachers by their first name if the teacher was okay with it, while 18 percent said that students should never call teachers by their surname. The remaining 11.2 percent said that it should always be okay for students to call teachers by their first name.
Another survey was sent out to the teachers of Glenwood High School that asked them if they would be okay with students calling them by their first names. Of the 29 teachers who responded, 70 percent said that they would not be okay with students calling them by their first name, while 26.7 percent said that they think that students can call teachers by their first names if they are okay with it. Only 3.3 percent of the teachers said that it should be okay for students to call teachers by their first names under any circumstance.
“Calling someone something they don’t want to be called is really not nice,” said sophomore Chloe Russell. “Even if that thing happens to be their first name. If a teacher says it is okay, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be. If they don’t, you shouldn’t ever do it.”
One senior even gave an example of one teacher who was okay with not being referred to formally.
“With Mrs. Johnson, she doesn’t care if we call her Kathy J,” said senior Jordan Belt. “I just feel as long as we don’t mean any disrespect, it’s alright to go ahead and proceed with how you can go about addressing a teacher.”
Some students, however, think that you should always call teachers by their first name as a sign of respect.
“It is very rude and improper,” said senior Colton Schutte. “Teachers are our mentors and we should show them proper respect. Since there is an age difference and we aren’t working together and don’t know each other on a personal level, teachers shouldn’t be called by their first names by students.”
Many teachers don’t think that it is a good idea to allow students to call teachers by their first name.
“There’s a modicum of respect and professionalism that should be adhered to in referencing your teacher,” said one teacher who preferred to remain anonymous. “Essentially the teacher/student relationship is a precursor to the boss/employee relationship, and it requires a level of respect that students need to learn to give someone. The position the teacher holds is worthy of respect whether you think the individual teacher is or not.”
Some teachers that responded to the survey said that, while they wouldn’t be okay with students calling them by their first names, they would rather students call them by their preferred nickname.
“This question was hard for me to answer,” said instructor Kathy Johnson. “Because it doesn’t have an answer for me. I do not mind if kids call me ‘Kathy J’, but I do not like just ‘Kathy’. I think ‘Kathy J’ shows me respect and the students are great about following my preference.”

Primal Chase Ray Johnson's Legend Lure "real minnow"
Christensen Legend Lure - Also known by some as the "Real Minnow", this lure was developed by renowned Flaming Gorge Reservoir angler and Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame inductee, Ray Johnson. Most game species, especially trout, mackinaw, and kokanees, cannot resist its frantic wiggles. Troll 14 inches behind a dodger or use it on its own. The small hole at the head of the lure can be stuffed with your favorite bait, gel, or scent to entice strikes. It is "shear death" to most fish!

About Daniel Shayesteh
Dr Daniel was born into a Muslim family in Northern Iran. He became a radical Muslim leader and teacher of Islam in the militant Free Islamic Revolutionary Movement, closely supporting Ayatollah Khomeini. However, after falling out of favor with Khomeini’s political group, he escaped to Turkey where there began an amazing journey to faith in Jesus Christ.
Daniel's mission is to help others understand and lovingly respond to those who do not know Christ. He is also deeply concerned for the future of Western societies, their loss of confidence in Judeo-Christian values, and their persistent naivete about the implications of the world-wide Islamic revival.
It is amazing that the values of all other beliefs and religions have proven to be a failure in the last decades at the crossroads of pluralism. Many of our politicians are still unsure if they should give up multiculturalism and side with Christian values that have demonstrated top quality in every aspect of life, especially in the economy. One example of the values of Christ is His leadership style. This is motivated by freedom of choice, individual autonomy and shared values where everybody has access to any information that advances creativity, productivity and life-style. Anytime in history when western country leaders ignored the values of Christ, they became a burden both to their own nations and others. This is also one of those times when the majority of the western leaders are turning their backs on Christian values and exposing their countries to the values that have proven to be a failure.
It is amazing that both aggressive and passive people are given more rights in the western societies than those people who respect the freedom of choice, want to stand on their own feet, be productive and contribute to the well-being of their families and societies. Dictatorship which is the Islamic and socialist leadership style and aloofness which is the eastern religions’ value are both rejected under the leadership of Christ but given more space in the West now.
All countries that have made economic success have been, more or less, following Christian leadership values as part of their organizational cultures. China saw that socialism would not make it any better than North Korea or Cuba, thereby started implementing Christian economic values and boomed economically as a result. Neither Japan followed Shintoism nor India Hinduism nor Turkey, Malaysia and the Emirates Islamism in the pursuit of their economic activities. They are all openly or secretly following the work ethics of Christianity in their work-places though flavored with their native cultures. There is no definition for work in their beliefs in order to have a work ethic. It has proven that the more they open themselves to Christian values the more they become successful. Businesses in these countries have learned from Christianity that if they allow a static pluralism to dominate their workplaces it will create a wall between their workers and reduce productivity. They instead open the door to a dynamic diversity where beliefs, ideas and opinions can cross each in bench-marking so that the best of all values pump up in order to be used for restoring the organizational culture. This dynamic is from Christianity and it is this dynamism that manifested Christian values as exclusively excellent.
Why do many of our politicians not want to pay attention to the greatness of Christian values but still hide themselves in the backyard of multiculturalism? Why do they feel reticent in speaking about the key factors behind the successes in western countries, but instead become vocal about pluralism that has created ethnic ghettos and given their nations nothing but economic downturn and socio-political insecurity?
There are many reasons but the most obvious one is the lack of knowledge. This lack of knowledge has disabled our politicians to objectively examine their environment and stand for the truth. It has stripped them of any courage for the truth and enslaved them to various kinds of negative attitudes, i.e. political correctness, which have blocked their ears from listening to the voices of their consciences.
Lack of knowledge is not only a stumbling block to individual or social improvement but also an enemy that degrades personal characters. It does not allow people to recognize evil, name it publicly and fight with it openly. It rather pushes people to align themselves with the evil ones and paves the way for the success of evil. That’s why many politicians tolerate extremist Muslims for the sake of their votes and even reward them in various ways in order to receive their support. One reason that they call Islam a religion of peace is because there are millions of votes held among Muslims for anyone who loves his/her job more than his/her country and is ready to be a channel for the spread of Islamic tyrannical culture at the cost of all others. Islamists chant the killing verses of the Quran and kill non-Muslims according to the Quran but our politicians continually say that their slaughters have nothing to do with Islam, trying not to offend their extremist Muslim supporters.
It is amazing that hundreds of politicians from various parts of the world gathered with millions in Paris a couple of weeks ago in order to show solidarity with freedom of speech against terrorists, but none condemned Islam that is behind all Islamic terrorism. Even Saudi Arabia took part in this street protest as a gesture of solidarity with freedom of speech, but at home sentenced one of its own citizens, Mr. Raif Badawi, in the same week for 10 years imprisonment with 1000 lashes, 50 lashes per week. This was because Mr. Badawi had expressed his negative views about Islam on his website.
Years ago, people attributed these kinds of attitudes to mafia. Mafias killed people on one hand but joined their funerals and cried with their families and friends on the other hand. This is what now our politicians are allowing the tyrannical Islamic leaders to do in the West. Muslim leaders walk hand-in-hand with our politicians in defense of freedom but on the other hand support terrorists and oppress freedom-lovers openly. Saudi Arabia which is the largest supplier of money to extremist Muslims in the world is welcomed by the western politicians to pour tears over the deaths of those who were slaughtered by the Saudi money. These open insincerity of our politicians to their nations lead one to wonder how far they aim to go with Islamists and satisfy their evil desires under the banner of multiculturalism.
There is a fact in Islamic political philosophy that all those Iranians, Iraqis, Egyptians, Turks or others who have a bit of knowledge about Islamic history on how their countries were dominated by extremist Muslims, know that, soon or later, a day will come when Islamists will say to their non-Muslim loyal politicians and friends, “it is enough; there is no need for your appeasement anymore since we are in power. Now, it is the time for you to follow Islam or die.” This is what we learned from Islam and tried to live it under the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini for the spread of Islam.
It is impossible for Islamists to be friends with non-Muslims, especially with Jews and Christians. The Quran instructs them around a dozen times to not become friends with non-Muslims unless it is insincere and for the spread of Islamic values. That’s why the Islamists are using the multiculturalism of the West to embody the instructions of the Quran. They are the enemies of Christian values because these values uncover every inch of their evil schemes. They know that the strength of Christianity equates the death of Islam. For this reason, they love to pacify our fellow citizens and politicians towards Christian values. They need passive and ignorant people in order to express their artificial solidarity through them.
Recently, Muslims students were given permission in Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, United States to call for prayer “Adhan” in the chapel of the university. Everybody in Islamic countries knows that moderate Muslims never show interest in calling for prayer. These Muslims in Duke University are extremists and have been able to cover themselves under the umbrella of multiculturalism in order to pave the way for a big reward. Christian students are extraordinarily limited to practice their beliefs in this university which was established by Methodist and Quaker Christians, but extremist Muslims are given abundant freedom to even impose themselves on others by a loud speaker. Multiculturalism should supposedly allow a place for the expression of each culture, but in reality it favors extremist Islamic culture above others. While Islam has failed in every corner of life in the Middle East, our academic campuses are acting as channels of advancement for this religion of failure. While many young Muslims in Islamic countries are trying to find a way to stay away from the catastrophe of extremist Muslims, our universities are backing extremism. This is what the spirit of multiculturalism does. It starts insincerely introducing everything as inherently good at the beginning so that people do not need to search for the best since everything is good. Then when ignorance dominates and people become indifferent, it paves the way for the most controlling ones to reach power and destroy others.
You see how multiculturalism leads a tolerant society to a place where aggressive people receive veneration and power to stab tolerance from behind?
Isn't it amazing that the western countries have been the most tolerant places in the world because of Christian values, but now most of their leaders and academicians are rejecting the tolerance of Christianity and opening the space wide for tyrannies to crush Christianity under the umbrella of multiculturalism?
The West will not wake up unless Christians reveal the values of Christ for every aspect of life in order to challenge and amaze our politicians and fellow citizens. Christ does not lie when He says that His followers are the salt and light of the world - salt and light for every aspect of life.
Let us, as the followers of Christ, claim the Spirit of Christ on and in us and make 2015 the voice of Christ to the ears of our politicians, universities, people and the world. Let us prove that multiculturalism without the values of Christ leads to segregation and tyranny.

Nepal Leaps Forward in Climate Finance Visibility
17 Aug 2017 by by Suren Poghosyan, Governance and Public Finance Specialist, UNDP Bangkok Regional Hub
Nepal is providing innovative leadership in Asia and the Pacific in integrating climate change into budgets
Important leaps forward in sustainable development aren’t always dramatic. Some people think of the key moments in development being big humanitarian interventions or sweeping logistical feats but there are a lot of important changes that happen quietly – making big impacts without the pomp and bombast.
On a recent trip to Nepal, I suddenly found myself in a moment in which one simple action represented a critical step forward for accountability and action in addressing the challenges of climate change.
I watched on as operators in government ministries showed how they could produce, with the press of a button, realtime budget information on climate change expenditure in the country. It might not sound like much at first, but this is a huge achievement for sustainable climate action from the government and represents a groundbreaking leap ahead for Nepal.
Let me explain why.
Nepal struggles with climate change more than most countries and you don’t need to read the numerous studies to understand its disastrous impacts. As a small example, on my very first visit to that beautiful country, the first newspaper article I read on the way from the airport was on a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) that led to a number of deaths in a village.
A GLOF is what happens when the debris that has dammed massive mountain lakes of glacial meltwaters for centuries, gives way, unleashing a torrent of water that snakes through the valley below, wiping out entire villages in its path.
Global warming is causing glaciers to melt at ever-faster rates, and the rising build-up of water in lakes across the Himalayan range has meant a rising frequency of GLOFs.
Responding to these impacts and addressing climate change requires real change in the way we operate and governments around the world acknowledge the urgent need to directly integrate climate considerations into most routine activities. This means that activities from infrastructure development to agriculture now need to take climate change into account at all stages.
Public finance is the clearest ‘entry point’ to include these climate considerations. Public finance and budgets are an essential and most influential means to re-adjust processes so they are no longer ‘climate-blind’. Therefore, it’s critical to make budget decisions and priorities much more climate change informed.
But how do budgets become more climate informed?
The first step is coding what allocations in a budget count as relevant to climate change. Nepal was, again, the first country to introduce a climate change budget code that allowed users to see the level of climate relevant budget allocations from 2014.
However, knowing what climate allocations are is just the first step. The system lacked the critical next step, which is the inclusion of information on actual budget expenditures that are climate relevant. Without having a clear picture of actual expenditure, it is difficult to have real accountability and informed budget decision-making processes.
So, at the end of 2016, the UNDP team I’m a member of, the Governance of Climate Change Finance programme, helped the government of Nepal adjust this budget database system and by early 2017 the government was able to generate its first climate change expenditure reports based completely on its own data systems and processes.
That was what I saw happen – when the operator in the Ministry of Finance hit that button to extract an instantaneous and updated report on climate expenditures in the country.
The benefits of this are immense.
Domestic expenditure reporting processes are not only now much faster to produce but are also more reliable in terms of data accuracy as they derive from the same budget database as the rest of the budget.
Nepal is no longer reliant on donors or development partners to undertake reports and research to give them an indication of the government expenditure and can, instead, generate this information themselves. This independence and sustainable self-sufficiency is what all development programmes aim for: creating lasting solutions that governments can implement without on-going assistance from development partners.
Also, this information isn’t just useful for civil servants. Civil society organizations, the media, members of parliaments and others are now able to improve their advocacy and oversight of climate expenditures with the data being produced.
Krishna Sapkota of the Freedom Forum, a local CSO specializing in budget analysis and transparency, said of the advancement, “the reports make it easier for groups like Freedom Forum to follow the money and generate evidence for public spending accountability. Finding discrepancies between allocations and expenditure enable the demand side to figure out what is happening with public money. This is a very important initiative of the government towards strengthening public financial management in Nepal.”
Nepal is truly leading the way in this work along with many countries in the region following suit. This is a hugely significant step forward for transparency and accountability in Nepal and is critical in a region so vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
That is how real progress on sustainable development is often made: quietly, by individuals carrying out their work innovatively and diligently and making progress that other countries can begin to follow.
And I feel lucky that I got to see it first hand.

The country’s business leaders realized that, for their companies to outlive, they would have to abide by Erdoğan’s wishes.

A week after, the internet was ablaze with movies and images of their luxurious marriage ceremony, at Çırağan Palace, a five-star lodge; President Erdoğan attended. The get together was a particular affront to the Turkish folks, who are enduring one of the worst economic crises in virtually 20 years.

It was the very same weekend last year (2018) when parts of central Indiana received more than 10” of snow! Indianapolis measured 10.2” of snow on March 24, 2018. Indianapolis broke the snowfall record for the date, and it ended up being the snowiest day for the 2017-2018 season!
We are going to see a more spring-like weekend for Indianapolis this year! It is a chilly morning with lows in the mid-20s. Areas of frost also developed due to the clear and calm conditions over the state. Higher pressure over the Great Lakes will keep the area dry today and keep the cloud cover away through the afternoon hours! The sunshine today will help temperatures recover into the mid-50s this afternoon.
Today will also be a great day for those traveling south for spring break! There is another concentrated area of high pressure over the Gulf of Mexico, which will keep the southeastern states dry. Temperatures will rise into the 70s and lower 80s in Florida with mostly sunny skies.
Rain chances will increase closer to home for the second half of the weekend. A storm system will bring scattered showers to central Indiana on Sunday. There could even be a few thunderstorms late Sunday night ahead of the approaching cold front.
Showers are going to linger into the Monday morning commute as temperatures begin to drop. Highs in the mid-40s are expected early in the work week and should recover by Wednesday.


U.S. trade deficit will continue to widen, based on forecasts of LogIndex’s gKNi platform, despite or even as a result of the latest threats by the Trump administration. Background: Trade tensions between the U.S. and China have increased recently, as the U.S. take a more protectionist stance toward trade. These tensions have weighed on financial markets as investors fear a trade war may be around the corner.
Alert: gKNi estimate of US trade balance for March is below a standard deviation of the mean value. The U.S. trade deficit is expected to continue to widen in April.
“While this narrative continues to evolve, it is important to internalize that a key metric related to this debate will only get worse in the upcoming months: the US trade deficit”, writes Birgir Haraldsson, analyst and co-founder of New York-based macro strategy firm Nightberg.
The trade deficit for February came in close to where both consensus and gKNi had been anticipating it to land (at about -$57B). This adds further to the dynamic of rapidly worsening external balances that has been in place since mid-2017.
Nightberg: “Looking to the gKNi platform for deep insights on this, we can see that the projections for March and April suggest an added widening in the trade deficit. The results for March are expected at -$59.0B, and for April at -$63.0B which would take the deep trend-metrics lower.” What this means is, according to Birgir Haraldsson, that while the ‘trade war’ theme and negotiations are surrounding the scenery between the superpowers of US and China, the ‘soar’ of the trade balance is only probably to get worse over this period. “It is unlikely to offer much help at least to reduce tensions”, concludes Nightberg.
The Chinese trade balance was even negative in March. In general, the trade balance is narrowing both in USD and CNY terms according to Global Kuehne + Nagel Indicators (gKNi).
While the Chinese trade balance seems to reach soon an equilibrium, the trade relations with the United States are still uneven. The surplus with the US jumped 19.4% to US$58 billion between January and March compared to the same period last year. Exports increased by 14.8% while imports edged higher at 8.9%.
“The sharp decline in March export growth after very solid performance in January and February suggests some exporters may have front-loaded exports this year due to concern over the possibility of a Sino-US trade war after the U.S. hiked tariffs on global imports on solar panels and washing machines,” Lisheng Wang, an economist at the financial firm Nomura in Hong Kong, told Reuters. “We believe export growth will slow due to yuan appreciation and rising trade tensions. China’s imports could be more resilient than exports in our view as China has pledged to increase imports,” Wang added.
Trump complains about the trade deficit frequently, saying the trade imbalance is a measure of America’s weakness on trade policy. “We lost, over the last number of years, $800 billion a year,” he said recently, while defending his tariffs against criticism.
His Council of Economic Advisers seemed to play down alarms over bilateral trade deficits. “The United States has a bilateral goods deficit and a services surplus with many of its major trading partners,” council members wrote. “The United States actually runs a trade surplus in services with China, as it does with many other countries, in part by attracting Chinese students to study at American colleges, which counts as an export.”
Index of the exports of China to United States (in USD) to date: The surplus with the US jumped 19.4% to US$58 billion between January and March compared to the same period last year.
Most economists do not see the trade gap as money “lost” to other countries, nor do they worry about trade deficits to a large degree, The New York Times wrote. That’s because trade imbalances are affected by a host of macroeconomic factors, including the relative growth rates of countries, the value of their currencies, and their saving and investment rates. “For instance, America’s trade deficit narrowed dramatically during the Great Recession, when national consumption faltered.”
Donald Trump has long argued that the trade deficit hinders economic growth, and that reducing it will accelerate American job creation. Even those who agree with that view say, according to The New York Times, there are better ways to reduce the imbalance than through tariffs, which can backfire and further widen the trade deficit if other countries impose reciprocal tariffs.

Slime, Gak, Putty- whatever you call it it’s a tonne of fun for all ages. I wanted to come up with something fun this Halloween and found SLIME. So today I want to share with you my super cool recipe for homemade glow in the dark slime.
I was a kid of the 90’s. I grew up with Sega Mega Drive, Polly Pockets and Troll Dolls. And one toy that I loved was Gak. It’s a moulding compound a bit like play dough but more like slime. And it used to make a silly fart noise when you pushed it back into the container. You loved weird things like that as a kid. So when I found the recipe on Pinterest I knew it would be something cool to make this Halloween.
Homemade Glow in the Dark Slime Recipe
~Makes about 2 cups~
- 250ml White Craft Glue (about 8oz)
- 4 tablespoons Glow in the Dark Paint
- 250ml Water
- Neon food colouring/paint
- 1 teaspoon borax
- 1/2 cup warm water
Step one: Pour the glue into a bowl. Then add the same amount of water to the glue and mix with a spoon.
Step two: Add food colouring to the glue. I couldn’t find neon food colouring so I used a non-toxic paint and added food colouring for a deeper colour but the choice is yours.
Step three: Stir the glow in the dark paint into your glue mixture.
Step four: In a small bowl mix 1/2 cup of warm water with 1 teaspoon of Borax and stir until dissolved.
Step five: Mix the borax water and glue mixture together with a spoon. As you can see from the picture this ends up becoming quite difficult. Once this happens switch to using your hands and don’t be afraid to get messy.
This is where the magic happens. The borax reacts with the glue mixture and starts to turn it into the slime and I found the more you work the mixture the better it gets. I needed to add a bit of water but what you do will depend if you want it to be runnier or more solid. Play around with the amount of Borax and Water until you get the desired consistency. Don’t forget to test it out in the dark… it looks very cool!
If you have kids this will keep them entertained for hours (even get them to help you make it) but I think Glow in the Dark Slime would be perfect as a party decoration or favour for a Monsters, Alien or Halloween Party.

WHY DID YOU OPEN TAUBERG CHIROPRACTIC & REHABILITATION?
Dr. Alex Tauberg decided he wanted to become a chiropractor when another chiropractor helped his father Dr. Stuart Tauberg, M.D. return to performing surgeries after a multiple year hiatus. Dr. Tauberg’s father hurt his back in the early to mid 1990s and was unable to do the things he loved to do. He went to multiple specialists and through different kinds of care before he went to a chiropractor who was able to make him feel better. This chiropractor, a former professor at the University of Pittsburgh, was an evidence based chiropractor. Due to Dr. Taubergs upbringing and his father’s story, he strives to provide patients with top notch care that is based off of recent research and evidence.
Dr. Tauberg chose to serve the Fox Chapel and greater Pittsburgh areas because of his connections to the region. Alex was born in Pittsburgh, and grew up in Fox Chapel. His family has lived in the Pittsburgh area for many generations and have grown to consider Pittsburgh as more than just a home. Alex grew up in the Fox Chapel area and attended the Fox Chapel area school district throughout his K-12 education. Dr. Tauberg knew he wanted to be a Fox Chapel Chiropractor. Dr. Tauberg loves the area and feels a responsibility to serve the local community, as he feels the region played a huge part in his upbringing.

There are many different misconceptions floating around on what chiropractors do. This holds true for the residents of Pittsburgh, Fox Chapel and surround areas.
One common misconception is that all chiropractors do is manipulate. While this may be true of some chiropractors, it is not true of the very best in the profession. Manipulation is a tool that can be used to help get someone out of pain, but it is not the only tool, and in a lot of cases it’s not the best tool. What is usually best is combining multiple tools into a treatment plan in order to provide comprehensive care. That is what good chiropractors do.

The treatments that are most often used at Tauberg Chiropractic & Rehabilitation include but are not limited to: manipulation, soft tissue work, myofascial release, exercise therapy, assisted stretching, and other types of rehabilitation services.
Another misconception is that chiropractors only treat back pain. Back pain is one of the most common conditions that is treated at this Pittsburgh chiropractor’s office but it is far from the only one. This was mentioned in the above section on this webpage.

Some religions have no real view of history, while others hold to some kind of eternal cycle, but the western religions have a narrative with a beginning middle and end. And in the best known version of this – Christianity, what else? – history is given as a very short amount of time. And it is directional (does not cycle). And it is soteriological, which is a technical term to indicate that for Christians, history was all about salvation after a fall from grace.
Geology is perhaps more than any other science the most Christian of sciences. It was developed by Christians, and in particular by clergy, to begin with, as I have discussed before. And the growing interest in the amount of time the earth had existed since it was created led to more and more precise, and eventually even accurate, estimates of the age of the earth, and then the universe.
The first attempts to give numbers to the age of the earth began in the time of the Reformation, when the Bible was being promoted as the source of all knowledge by the Reformers. It had to do with the Ark. And ironically, it was not a protestant who started the trend. It was, instead, a Catholic Abbot, Jean Borrel (1492–c1564), better known under his Latin name, Johannes Buteo. Buteo was a polymath of some repute, and among his many mathematical and logical writings (he criticised attempts to square the circle, for example) he wrote a logistical tract about the size, dimensions and practicalities of Noah’s Ark, De Arca Noë in 1554.
Recall that the period of the Reformation came off the back of the first great exploratory and colonial period of Europe after the Crusades, and a great many new species were being found. This meant that if Noah’s Ark was to be thought of as a real historical event, then some calculations had to be done to accommodate these new species. Mostly it was done by way of lumping similar things into one genus and declaring that a genus was formed out of local varieties from a single species created by God due to climatic and geographic adaptation.
This then raised another problem, noticed by people since the earliest times, of the bones and shells of organisms that were no longer found. Dragons and cyclops were imagined from the skulls of dinosaurs and extinct megafauna, like mammoths (Mayor 2001). But the idea that there might be extinction was seriously a problem for theology, which held that God created the world perfect in all detail, and that must include all species that he wanted to exist would exist. Moreover, since God superintended nature, nothing could go extinct, which is why the proven extinction of the dodo in the late sixteenth century came as such a shock.
Buteo’s tract came to the attention of one of the more prolific of polymaths of all time: Father Athanasius Kircher (c1601–1680). Taking Buteo’s calculations as a starting point, he computed how big the Ark’s stalls and storage had to be for a set number of species (c310 quadrupeds and several score bird species, plus lizards and snakes), with all the rest forming by hybridisation after the Flood (Allen 1949; Breidbach and Ghiselin 2006)
So it became rather critical to work out how long it had been since the Flood, in order to work out how rapidly modern kinds (Latin: species) had formed from the original stock. And while you were at it, why not calculate the age of the earth too? Neither Buteo nor Kircher, so far as I know, did this, but of course, many did, including Newton and Joseph Justus Scaliger, and one of the more famous or infamous was Bishop Ussher (1581–1656), a Calvinist prelate in the Church of Ireland. He computed, using known historical dates (or what was thought to be known) from the classical world, and biblical narratives and ages of the patriarchs, that the world came into being on 23 October 4004 BC. It is not true that he gave the time of day as 9am (see Wyse Jackson 2006 for the story).
According to my Pearl Teacher’s edition of the King James Bible, Ussher put the flood in BC 2349, which meant that the living kinds on the Ark had diversified rapidly from a few hundred basic kinds to a massive number of kinds today, in just 4,000 years or so. So much for a static creationism.
But interest in the age of the earth had been piqued, and nearly all those who engaged in the study of it until the nineteenth century were clergy, largely because they were the ones with the time and resources to engage in field work. One character of great interest is Danish bishop Nicholas Steno (1638–1686). Steno was born a Lutheran, but converted to Catholicism at the age of 37, after which he focussed mainly on theological matters, but prior to that he had a real interest in natural history. He worked in anatomy, palaeontology, and crystallography, but he is chiefly remembered for his geological principles, called the laws of stratigraphy. The law of superposition that when formed the material that form rocks was fluid, and overlay older rocks; the principle of original horizontality that since it was fluid, it formed as horizontal layers, and so strata that were not horizontal had been moved in some way; and the principle of crosscutting strata: that if a stratum (a layer of rock) cut through another stratum, it must be younger than the stratum it cuts (Cutler 2003).
Steno’s principles, be it noted, were secular: they relied upon no biblical interpretation, and could be applied by any natural historian no matter their religion. They laid the foundation for subsequent geology, so to speak. But the age of the earth was as yet not given any absolute date – all Steno’s laws were relative rather than absolute. They might tell you which stratum formed before which, but not when, nor how long it took to do so.
With these rather clear principles, geology was slowly invented as a science, alongside palaeontology, which was seen as a part of geology for a long time. In the eighteenth century, however, something began to happen which challenged Ussherian chronologies of the Bible. They discovered the depth of the age of the earth. So far from being a very young planet and universe, it now looked like it was much older; perhaps tens or even hundreds of thousands of years old.
Now as these views sprang up in the scientific community, religious believers had to adapt as best they could. They had three alternatives: one was to deny that the Bible actually made any scientific claims; one was to deny that science actually showed the earth was old; and the third was to try to reconcile the scripture with the science. All three were, and are, tried. As noted in the introduction, as late as 1851, Ruskin was finding the results of geology to be a hurdle to his faith. But this is after the seminal event that led geologists to an old earth: the visit to Siccar Point in Scotland by James Hutton, with his friends James Hall and John Playfair, in 1788. Here, and at other places, Hutton saw what came to be known as “Hutton’s unconformity”, where sedimentary rock layers (strata) were tilted, deformed, and lay in distinct and separate formations to the layers they abutted (that is, they did not conform to each other).
Hutton noted that there were at least three events of deposition, which is to say, the laying down of strata in a watery medium. First the lowest layer had to be formed, and then raised, and tilted. Then there had to be a period of erosion, and that formation had to sink below the sea. Then, a new formation of strata, also then raised above the sea, tilted again, and then eroded. This had to take a very long time, leading Hutton to declare that the rocks provided “no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end.” Deep time had been uncovered. So long as you applied Steno’s principles, this was the only conclusion to draw. We were talking many hundreds of thousands of years.
Hutton was not a member of the clergy, but a medical doctor who took over his father’s farm and became interested in rocks and weather. He eventually was accepted into the Royal Society of Edinburgh, but held no academic position. He thought that the processes that formed rocks in the past were the same as those now in operation: deposition of sediments, erosion, and compression of sediments into rock. This view was later called uniformitarianism, and popularised by Charles Lyell in the 1830s and afterwards.
In the period leading up to Hutton’s publication, others had based their geology upon the Bible. Thomas Burnet (c1635–1710) had calculated that there was not enough water for the flood unless the earth had almost no mountains or valleys, and in his Sacred Theory of the Earth (Telluris Theoria Sacra, 1681, Eng. 1684) he offered a purely law-driven account of natural phenomena. When Newton, who admired Burnet’s work, suggested that God had changed the length of the day, Burnet rejected it for not being scientific enough an explanation.
About the same time, there were attempts by physicists, or as they were then called, natural philosophers, to estimate the age of the earth. One of the first was done by Georges-Louis Leclerc, comte de Buffon, known as Buffon to friends and foe alike. A wealthy member of the aristocracy, Buffon determined to find out how old the earth was, based on the theory of Newton’s that the earth was slowly cooling, and he set out to cast iron spheres from a half inch to five inches, and record how long it took them to cool down from the molten state. Scaling this up to the earth, he estimated that the earth was no less than 75 thousand years old. Buffon got some criticism from the theologians at the Sorbonne, however. First, in 1749 he suggested that the earth was caused when a comet hit the sun and threw off the material that then coalesced into a sphere and cooled. In later volumes of his series Histoire Naturelle (Natural History), he apologised for this to the theologians, but when he published his results on the cooling of the earth in 1778 they again attacked him for impiety (or at any rate, some did; others defended him). However, this time the influence of the faculty of theology on public opinion was almost inconsequential, and it had no effect upon Buffon’s popularity with either the general populace or the the intellectuals, and his books sold for another century.
In the early years of the nineteenth century, geology became a profession, although many of the early professionals were men who had degrees in other fields, such as Adam Sedgwick (1785–1873), William Buckland (1784–1856) and Charles Lyell (1795–1875). Sedgwick was trained in mathematics and theology, and became a fellow of Trinity at Cambridge, where he was appointed as professor of geology in 1818. Buckland was a theologian who became dean of Westminster. In 1822, he entered Kirkdale Cave in Yorkshire where he found a cave with fossil remains of a hyena den, which he interpreted as antediluvian (prior to the flood). He held the idea that prior to the creation of humans, there were long epochs of previous fauna. And Lyell, who is famous for his influence upon Darwin, is also known for establishing as official methodology that geology rests upon the presumption that as it was in the past so it is in the present, and we can infer the past from the way things occur now, called “uniformitarianism” by his contemporary Whewell. He was trained as a lawyer. Darwin was told by his mentor Henslow to read Lyell but “on no account accept the views therein advocated”.
By the end of the nineteenth century, geologists were professionals, with geology degrees and industry support from mining. And the age of the earth had risen, somewhat. Several developments had occurred. One was that the epochs or eras had been named and mapped, and using Steno’s rules, given relative ages: the Silurian was older than the Devonian, and the Cambrian older than both. It had also been discovered that the fossils that are found in one epoch were the same ones around the world (especially shellfish and trilobites for older epochs), and so the presence of these fossils was an index marker of the age of a rock bed.
The other development occurred in physics. A theoretical model known as “thermodynamics” had been worked out in the context of the steam age, and such ideas as latent heat, radiation of heat, and so on were being quantified. This led to the British physicist, William Thompson (Lord Kelvin) estimating that had the earth been cooling at the rate it was seen to today, the earth was between 20 and 400 million years old, later refined to between 20 and 40 million years old, the upper bound being set by the age of the sun being heated from gravitational collapse. However, in 1903, radioactive decay was discovered, and in 1930, nuclear fusion in the sun and other stars greatly increased the ages of the stars, the sun, and therefore the earth.
Thompson was very religious, and may have worked on this to undermine Darwin’s theory of evolution, which seemed to required much longer than even 40 million years, and we’ll get back to that, but his method was quite secular. Even Darwin’s own son, George, worked under Thompson on these calculations. Thompson was a devout Presbyterian until the end of his life, but he did his science in a secular manner, no matter what his motivations.
Now the history of geology shows most clearly the complex nature of the relationship between religion and science. It shows that this science more than most is in conflict with some cherished theological ideas about the world, which although not derived from science were scientific ideas in the end. And as scientific ideas, they conflicted and dismissed the religious ideas. But that is not the end of it. Each time the religious ideas were challenged by religious people, more often than not themselves members of the clergy. However, that is not enough to support the idea that religion is a benefit to science, since clergy were often the only ones before the professionalisation of scientific disciplines like geology who had the time and resources to undertake them.
But one thing does stand out: the secular nature of the methodology and explanations from Steno to Kelvin. The use of these methods and the aiming for these goals in no way relied upon prior religious commitments. It may be that religious thinkers were motivated one way or the other based upon their doctrinal commitments, but in the end they applied these methods without regard for religious sensitivities, whether they were orthodox like Lyell, or heterodox like Newton, or borderline atheists like Buffon.
So despite Ruskin’s lament, we can safely say that there is little evidence of religion impeding or retarding geology. Next we will look at geology’s child, biology, and in particular evolution.

An automated fluidic instrument is described that rapidly determines the total 99Tc content of aged nuclear waste samples, where the matrix is chemically and radiologically complex and the existing speciation of the 99Tc is variable. The monitor links microwave-assisted sample preparation with an automated anion exchange column separation and detection using a flow-through solid scintillator detector. The sample preparation steps acidify the sample, decompose organics, and convert all Tc species to the pertechnetate anion. The column-based anion exchange procedure separates the pertechnetate from the complex sample matrix, so that radiometric detection can provide accurate measurement of 99Tc. We developed a preprogrammed spike addition procedure to automatically determine matrix-matched calibration. The overall measurement efficiency that is determined simultaneously provides a self-diagnostic parameter for the radiochemical separation and overall instrument function. Continuous, automated operation was demonstrated over the course of 54 h, which resulted in the analysis of 215 samples plus 54 hly spike-addition samples, with consistent overall measurement efficiency for the operation of the monitor. A sample can be processed and measured automatically in just 12.5 min with a detection limit of 23.5 Bq/mL of 99Tc in low activity waste (0.495 mL sample volume), with better than 10% RSD precision at concentrations above the quantification limit. This rapid automated analysis method was developed to support nuclear waste processing operations planned for the Hanford nuclear site.

OPEC+ members that exceeded their production quotas will have to cut an extra 2.31 million b/d as compensation by the end of September, the alliance's data shows, keeping a lid on output as compliant members are allowed to ease back from historic output restraints.

Under the OPEC+ supply accord, any production over quotas in May, June and July must be offset by deeper cuts of equivalent volume in August and September.
The coalition has not revealed how members will implement those additional cuts as countries have until Aug. 28 to submit their plans. A key monitoring committee co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and Russia met online Aug. 19, exhorting all members to adhere to their commitments to speed the market's rebalancing from the COVID-19 collapse.
Iraq had the biggest excess at 851,000 b/d over the three months, while Nigeria was over its cap by 315,000 b/d, according to OPEC+ data outlined in an internal report seen by S&P Global Platts.
Russia was noncompliant by 283,000 b/d, followed by Kazakhstan at 189,000 b/d.
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Algeria, Oman, Malaysia and Bahrain all came in under their quotas during the three months and do not have to make any compensation cuts, the report shows.
The OPEC+ alliance in May implemented the largest coordinated production cut in the oil market's history at 9.7 million b/d – about 10% of pre-pandemic demand.
Prices have stabilized around $45/b in recent weeks, and the coalition has eased its cuts to 7.7 million b/d from August through the end of the year, in anticipation of higher demand. Adding the compensation cuts to that and distributing them equally across August and September would bring the cuts to about 8.85 million b/d for those two months.
Full compliance with the deal, including the compensation cuts, would cause global oil stocks to draw by 499 million barrels in the fourth quarter to reach 33 million barrels below the five-year average that the OPEC+ coalition has said it is targeting, according to OPEC+ analysis in the report. The analysis, prepared for the monitoring committee, assumed Iran, Libya and Venezuela, which are exempt from quotas, maintain production at their July levels.
However, the committee also reviewed a more bearish market scenario with a second wave of COVID-19 infections that would cause global oil demand to contract by 11.2 million b/d in 2020. Full OPEC+ compliance would result in stocks remaining 233 million barrels above the five-year average in the fourth quarter.
"While there are some signs of gradually improving market conditions, including the inventory build in July 2020 being reversed and the lessening of the gap between global oil demand and supply, nevertheless, the pace of recovery appeared to be slower than anticipated, with growing risks of a prolonged wave of COVID-19," it was stated in the report.
The committee, tasked with adjudicating compliance and monitoring market conditions, is scheduled to next meet online Sept. 17, while the full OPEC+ coalition is scheduled to meet in Vienna Nov. 30-Dec. 1.

In a new report, UN agencies call for stronger policy coordination and capacity-building to ensure digital trade leads to inclusive development in the region.
Digital trade holds massive promise for the Asia-Pacific region, but there’s still much to do to help vulnerable countries catch up, according to a new UN report launched on 6 December at UNCTAD eWeek 2023.
The Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Report 2023-2024, produced by UNCTAD, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), highlights the region’s strong but uneven performance.
Posting a 9% growth rate in digitally deliverable exports from 2015 to 2022, the region outpaced the global average of 6.8% to reach $958 billion.
But just six economies accounted for 85% of Asia-Pacific’s digitally deliverable exports in 2022. The share for the region’s least developed countries (LDCs) was under 1%.
“The Asia-Pacific region has the potential to be a leader in digital trade, but only if we work together to ensure that no one is left behind,” UNCTAD Secretary-General Rebeca Grynspan said, encouraging political and business leaders to take a people-centred approach.
“Digital trade is not just about technology. It’s about people. It’s about creating opportunities for everyone, regardless of their location or background,” Ms. Grynspan said.
‘Not just a growth engine’
The report, subtitled “Unleashing digital trade and investment for sustainable development”, suggests that a 1% increase in digital trade value is associated with a 0.8 percentage point rise in an economy's real GDP per capita.
Given that the benefits of digital trade are closely tied to internet access, bridging the digital divide in the region is key to ensuring widespread development gains.
While more than 90% of people in the region’s high-income countries use the internet, the share dwindles to just 20% in lower-income countries.
“This disparity underscores an urgent need for action,” ESCAP Executive Secretary Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana said.
“It is imperative that we work together to ensure that digital trade and investment are not just growth engines but also catalysts for inclusive and sustainable development,” she added.
The report calls for making digital trade and investment policies more inclusive. These include measures to harmonize policy and regulations across borders and strengthen the capacities of LDCs in e-commerce and the digital economy.
It also underscores the need for a supportive regulatory environment, with clear laws to secure online transactions, protect consumer rights and fight against cybercrime.
Additionally, addressing privacy concerns and data security are key to building trust. Customs procedures are crucial for the smooth handling of digital goods.
Progress therefore requires collaboration across ministries and agencies.
“Addressing the social and environmental challenges arising from digital trade and investment is a complex matter, with diverse impacts that no single ministry or agency can manage in isolation,” UNIDO Director General Gerd Müller said.
UNCTAD remains committed to working with partners and countries in the region to strengthen their ability to participate in digital trade and to foster global dialogue on how to ensure more inclusive and sustainable outcomes from digitalization. UNCTAD eWeek is a key part of these efforts.

John Middleton is to be the narrator at the premiere of The Story of Christmas with Carols – a specially written and staged version of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem and the birth of Jesus – which will be performed at Ripon Cathedral on Saturday 2nd December at 7.30pm.
John played the Rev Ashley Thomas in Emmerdale for 21 years and won widespread critical acclaim for his performance recording the decline and subsequent death of dementia sufferer Ashley. He won three separate awards – including Best Actor – at the 2017 British Soap Awards and also helped the series scoop its first prestigious BAFTA Award for Best Soap. John was also awarded Best Actor at the 2017 Royal Television Society Yorkshire Awards.
The Story of Christmas with Carols will also involve dancers from the Academy of Northern Ballet, choirs from Ripon Cathedral and Ripon Grammar School, pupils from Queen Ethelburga’s and will also feature a donkey. The performance will raise funds for the Ripon Cathedral Music Trust. The trust has so far raised some £700,000 as part of a major appeal to ensure the music at the cathedral – which has a nationwide reputation – is secured in perpetuity.
The music trust chairman Sir Andrew Lawson-Tancred said:
The music at the cathedral currently costs some £250,000 pa which comes out of the cathedral’s overall operating budget. This is already at full stretch and our plan is to establish a separate fund to meet the music department’s running costs which will ensure this valuable musical heritage is secure for the future.
I am very excited about this forthcoming performance and strongly encourage people to come along. It will give a new slant to the Christmas narrative and the audience will also have the opportunity to join in some much-loved Christmas carols as well.
The Story of Christmas with Carols – which also features local actors – is being directed by Gary Broad from Burton Leonard and Judith Graham from Wath. The producers, who are also music trustees, are Carolyn Collin from Roecliffe and Jayne Bailey from Harrogate.
Tickets for the event can be purchased from the Ripon Cathedral Giftshop or online from www.riponcathedral.org.uk/event/storyofchristmas

What is the best form factor for a motherboard?
Common desktop motherboard form factors are:ATX (12” × 9.6”): The current standard for full-size motherboards.
Extended ATX or eATX (12” x 13”): A larger variant of the ATX form factor designed for enthusiast and professional use, these boards have additional real estate for more flexible hardware configurations.More items….
Can a motherboard improve performance?
Not taking overclockability into consideration, the choice of the motherboard has no effect on performance. … This performance can come from overclocking the CPU which can yield more FPS in games. Not only does it increase FPS, but overclocking also increases performance across the board.
Are expensive motherboards worth it?
More expensive motherboards usually mean better quality components. Cheap capacitors are a common failure point on inexpensive motherboards. More expensive motherboards may have better power regulation components. The actual PCB may have more layers and more robust construction.
How long does a motherboard last?
A motherboard should last between 10–20 years. Not approximately, not all computers can last more than 20 years, but I have seen some computers last for 40 years or more.. It is actually depending on how you use your computer, and the humidity of the place where do you place your motherboard.

Next, technology got the greater around the world and offered it wonders using tablets produced by man. They are also good, even more effective compared to typical herbs they made use of prior to. A lot more people respected these medicine. However, it does not mean that none of them persisted to use the herbs.

The purpose of this article is to consider which among the list of two - herbal remedies and chemical tablets - tend to be more effective. Which do you think?
In terms of power
Herbal cures: In regards to power, In my opinion it must be safe to declare that certainly, herbal solutions are actually effective. Exactly else would the people keep using all of them even after several millenia? Also medical professionals advise some herbal solutions for illnesses. What exactly is also amazing about herbal therapy is that an individual herb enables you to treat a wide variety of disease, unlike artificial medication.
Nonetheless, as soon as you capture an herbal treatment for your very own vomiting, you need to be persistent to determine the results. Because most herbal treatment are actually taken fresh, they're not incorporated with components that speed up the outcome.
