When we open up the bible and start reading from the beginning the first striking thing about the form of the text is that it presents us with two consecutive but distinct creation myths (NB: myths are not necessarily unfactual). Moreover, the join between the two occurs during the second chapter of Genesis, not between two chapters, so this this distinction was not made explicit by the author(s). In the 19th century biblical scholars decided to categorise parts of the bible after what appeared to be different sources from different authors. The first creation story was identified as part of the P source and the second as part of the J source.
In addition to comparing these two texts we will further compare them both with a non-biblical text, a creation myth from ancient Babylon. We will discuss the spirituality (rather than the plausibility) of the three texts, asking four things of each account: What is the author trying to say about the world, humanity, and God? What sort of person would have written this?
1) Genesis 1:1-2:4 (P source)
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters.
And God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light.
And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.
God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
And God said, ‘Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.’
And God made the firmament and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so.
And God called the firmament Heaven.
And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.” …
[Rest of 2nd day – separation of waters and land, 3rd day – creation of plants]
” And God said, ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years…’ And it was so… And God saw that it was good.
And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.” …
[5th day -creation of fish and birds. 6th day – creation of land animals]
“Then God said, ‘Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion … over all the earth.’
So God created humankind in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them…
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.
And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation.”
It claims that there was a beginning.
Everything shares that one beginning.
God is the basis for form, structure, and order in the world (note the repetition of ‘separated’).
(God recognises goodness in things he has created, he doesn’t impose goodness upon them, cf. the Euthyphro dilemma.)
God gives us a place within this order (note “male and female he created them”) ; we can trust that has a purpose.
Yet at the same time mankind (note that here God creates mankind before he does male and female) is the pinnacle of this order and has the role of taking care of it.
The fundamental dignity of human life is emphasised by likening us to God.
(Perhaps our having this likeness is not a mere claim, it is a challenge to all of humanity. )
God does not carry on creating more and more forever, but comes to be satisfied with what he has done.
God’s example demonstrates that rest and peace are extremely important in life.
God very powerful, but takes his time to get things right. This emphasises the value of creativity.
Things are allowed to develop in stages, to evolve as it were. That the stages get improve on each other is seen in that God is finally satisfied from creating man, saying that this is “very good”. This puts an interesting twist on woman being what God creates last in the J account!
This is what the biblical scholars thought.
2) Genesis 2:4-25 (J Source)
“In the day that the YAHWEH God made the earth and the heavens, when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up (for YAHWEH God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no one to till the ground; but a stream would rise from the earth, and water the whole face of the ground) then YAHWEH God formed the man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.
And YAHWEH God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed. Out of the ground YAHWEH God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil…”
“…YAHWEH God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it. And YAHWEH God commanded the man, ‘You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.’
Then YAHWEH God said, ‘It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner.’ So out of the ground YAHWEH God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every animal of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper as his partner.
So YAHWEH God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that YAHWEH God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.
Then the man said, ‘This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman, for out of Man this one was taken.’
Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed.”
God creates in one day, presumably directly and immediately.
This emphasises God’s power more than his creativity.
Creation is distinctly hierarchical, we are reminded that we are made from dust and that God commands man. Note that ‘dust’ in Hebrew is ‘adamah‘ so ‘adam‘ is derived from this.
(Man is tasked with naming other parts of creation- why did the author thing this was so significant?)
God himself has a name (which to the Israelites was so holy as to be unspeakable).
God desires to enter into a personal relationship with humanity. This reassures us of our fundamental dignity as was expressed by our bearing the ‘image’ of God in the P account.
Has a more poetic style, more evaluative than descriptive.
Perhaps earlier than P because more it has a less sophisticated view of God that is very anthropomorphic.
This is what the biblical scholars thought.
3) Babylonian Enuma Elish Myth
[Apsu and Tiamat beget all the gods but their noise disturbs them, so Apsu arranges for their murder. However they hear of it and one of them, Ea, kills Apsu and takes over. Tiamat makes an army of monsters to revenge her husband, and puts her lover, Qingu, in command. Ea’s son Marduk takes up the challenge to fight Tiamat’s army. Marduk is made king and is given the winds as weapons, a net to trap Tiamat, and a bow and a club. Marduk beats Tiamat in battle.]
“…The lord [Marduk] trod on the legs of Tiamat, with his unsparing mace he crushed her skull. When he had severed the arteries of her blood… the lord paused to view her dead body, that he might divide the form and do artful works. He split her like a shellfish into two parts: half of her he set up as a covering for heaven, pulled down the bar and posted guards. He bade them not to allow her waters to escape.
In her belly he established the heights. The Moon he caused to shine, entrusting the night to him. He appointed him a creature of the night to signify the days, and marked off every month, without cease, by means of his crown… Taking the spittle of Tiamat, Marduk created the clouds and filled them with water. Putting her head into position he formed the mountains. Opening the deep which was in flood, he caused to flow from her eyes the Euphrates and Tigris…”
[Marduk then builds Babylon as a throne for himself ]
“Below I have hardened the ground for a building site, I will build a house, it will be my luxurious abode. I will found there its temple, I will call its name Babylon which means the houses of the great gods…”
[Marduk decides to create humans using the body of Tiamet’s lover, Qingu]
“I will take blood and fashion bone. I will establish a savage, ‘man’ shall be his name. Truly, savage-man I will create. He shall be charged with the service of the gods that they might be at ease!” They bound Qingu, holding him before Ea. They imposed on him his punishment and severed his blood vessels. Out of his blood they fashioned mankind. Marduk imposed on him the service and let free the gods.”
[Marduk is enthroned in Babylon and the other gods praise him]
“This is Babylon, the place that is your home, Marduk! Make merry in its precincts, occupy its broad places.”
[The Enuma Elish ends with words from the author]
“Let these words be kept in mind and let the leader explain them. Let the wise and the knowing discuss them together. Let the father recite them and impart them to his son… Let him rejoice in Marduk… that his land may be fertile and that he may prosper”
‘Creation’ is accidental; there isn’t a definitive beginning.
Similarly to the P account, man’s creation comes out of the nature of the divine.
But it comes out of violence and man is called a savage.
Family relations are significant, but conflict emphasised over harmony.
Gods are plural, and can have children. They are not only anthropomorphic in the sense that J is, but exemplify the worse aspects of humanity. They require servants to be “at ease” and not only do they murder but they attempt infanticide. This violence is not condemned and is perhaps glorified; might appears to be right.
God has no desire to enter into a personal relationship with humanity; our only purpose is to serve God.
God has built a city -urban rather than garden- even though Babylon was renowned for to the splendour of its gardens.
Scholars accept that they do not know this one.
Questions for discussion
1. Which of these do you prefer and why?
2. If the bible had used the Babylonian story-
A) How might Christian history have been different?
B) How might Christianity have been different?
3. Can you find elements of the two types of myth in these passages?
4. Suppose that P and J really were written at different times by different people and have been spliced together. What impact would that have upon of theories of revelation?
5. Can you discern a trinitarian view of God in the Genesis stories?

Calm Down: Aereo’s Supreme Court Loss Isn’t Chaos for Cloud Tech
After the U.S. Supreme Court smacked down online TV service Aereo for violating copyright law, worries instantly sprung up that the justices were putting a huge array of Internet and cloud-computing services at risk of similar treatment.
That torch was carried highest by Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote for the court’s three-person minority that the Aereo ruling would “sow confusion for years to come.”
But Scalia was complaining mostly about the court’s decision to forgo a detailed legal test for determining a specific kind of copyright infringement.
Media outlets—and some enterprising lawyers they’ve interviewed—have been more than happy go further, trumpeting the supposed fear and confusion that Aereo’s loss is heaping on Internet distribution technologies of all kinds.
The Guardian, for example, wrote that the decision “might evaporate Silicon Valley’s cloud,” asserting that the ruling “seems bound to chill innovation in this burgeoning sector of the economy.” Bloomberg said the court “leaves technology companies with few clues to guess whether their services would pass legal muster if challenged.” The Boston Globe said “disagreement about what the Aereo decision really means for the cloud will likely persist for some time.”
“The worry remains that services that allow customers to stream copyrighted materials stored on a server—be they MP3s, ebooks, or copies of movies or TV shows—are now open to copyright infringement claims,” CNET claimed.
Hogwash. The court’s ruling, written by Justice Stephen Breyer, clearly limits its effect to Aereo and services very much like it. That means companies using the Internet to rebroadcast live versions of copyrighted TV programs for a fee, without paying license fees for that content.
How do we know that? Because the court lays it all out.
The reason Aereo lost on Wednesday was because it bears an “overwhelming likeness to the cable companies” that Congress had in mind when it changed copyright laws in 1976, the court said.
Those old-school cable providers connected subscribers to a better braodcast antenna, and charged them to access a broadcaster’s copyrighted TV feed in real time. The court said Aereo’s live streams of TV shows are “a system that is for all practical purposes a traditional cable system,” despite the technological differences linking the viewers with a TV show.
When it comes to other kinds of technologies, or other services that deliver content, the court was extremely clear: we’re not going there.
—“We cannot now answer more precisely how … the Copyright Act will apply to technologies not before us,” Breyer wrote. Translation: this case is about Aereo and its particular technology, which is an intricate system intended specifically to live-stream broadcast TV to people for a fee. Any other technologies are not being addressed by this ruling.
—“The history of cable broadcast transmissions” is what led the court to determine that Aereo was covered by the copyright law intended to stop cable-company attempts to re-transmit broadcast TV. That history is specific to that set of arguments, the court said, and “it does not determine whether different kinds of providers in different contexts” are doing anything wrong.
—The Obama administration had asked the court to keep its ruling limited to Aereo alone, and not branch out further into “questions involving cloud computing, DVRs, and other novel issues not before the Court, as to which ‘Congress has not plainly marked [the] course’” the way it had in this particular cable-TV dispute. The court agreed that was the right policy, and said any other questions about different technologies or services that don’t ape the old cable-company transmission practice “should await a case in which they are squarely presented.” That means entrepreneurs shouldn’t worry about the Aereo ruling stifling their company unless they’re doing something very, very similar to Aereo.
—“We have said that it does not extend to those who act as owners or possessors of the relevant product,” Breyer wrote. The Aereo ruling has no impact on anyone streaming or downloading things they’ve paid for, or content that’s been properly licensed. Period.
—“We have not considered whether [copyright] is infringed when the user of a service pays primarily for something other than the transmission of copyrighted works, such as the remote storage of content.” If a company like Aereo was selling online storage in which a consumer could put all kinds of content, including broadcast TV shows, the court might not even deem it illegal. The fact that Aereo’s live-streaming service explicitly charges someone to retransmit broadcast TV is the problem being addressed.
—Aereo’s watch-it-later service is probably still legal under this ruling. “Cloud DVRs” that record broadcast shows to remote hard drives and let consumers watch them later are already legal. The Supreme Court specifically said that “that aspect of Aereo’s service is not before us,” which means the ruling doesn’t apply to it.
There’s no question that the demise of Aereo’s live-streaming service is bad news for consumers and for its particular innovation. After all, this was a service that made novel use of advanced technology to provide a convenient service that people were willing to pay for.
Now, consumers will probably have to wait for the giant broadcast companies to implement their own version, or just get ready to pay more, since Aereo or another entrant would have to pay fees to license TV shows.
So if you’re an entrepreneur who wants to set up a cloud service that takes someone else’s copyrighted material and live-streams to people for a fee, yes, you should be worried. And if your startup is based on a very careful workaround of copyright laws, this ruling is probably a bad sign.
But it’s just not the case that the Aereo ruling puts broader cloud-computing services at risk.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.
Hundreds of parents whose children enjoyed the opportunities of Beverly Hills' coveted schools turned out for a meeting Tuesday to watch the school board vote on a controversial proposal to boot out almost 500 out-of-district students.
The Beverly Hills Unified School District board will decide whether to notify 484 so-called "permit students" that they must enroll elsewhere because of the district's new financing formula.
"These kids have their lives invested in Beverly Hills schools," said Michelle Kahn, a 19-year-old Beverly Hills High School graduate whose two brothers would be forced out of the district. "It seems like it's not taking the lives of the students into account."
The issue has inflamed sentiment in this exclusive community, which has long boasted schools that are recognized for excellence. They offer a rich menu of extracurricular activities ranging from madrigal singers to water polo in the renowned "swim gym" - an indoor basketball court that retracts to reveal a pool underneath.
But petitions, Facebook threats and name-calling are what have been on display in recent months. Police attended Tuesday's meeting in case tempers flare into unruly conduct.
Two former Beverly Hills mayors told the board that out-of-district students should be allowed to continue their educations in the school district.
Former Mayor Robert K. Tanenbaum presented the school board with a petition signed by 2,600 residents in favor of allowing the so-called permit students to matriculate.
"We made a commitment to these children when we needed the dollars. The children are not expendable. They are not financial assets," he said, to a standing ovation.
Some Beverly Hills residents spoke in favor of the board's proposed action to end the "opportunity permit" policy.
"This is a community trying to take care of its own, and there's nothing wrong with that," Genevieve Peters said.
Resident Lee Lewis said the argument that forcing students to switch schools would be harmful is baseless because children change schools all the time, for all sorts of reasons.
But Beverly Hills High School junior Tatiana Spottiswood said kicking out her classmates was unfair because the students and teachers are "like a family."
"Asking these students to leave is like putting your kids up for adoption," she said.
The board's action comes as the district switches its funding from reliance on state financing to its own property tax dollars. That means the district will keep more money from its wealthy tax base but won't receive the state's $6,239 for each out-of-district student it schools.
The situation has cropped up elsewhere in California. With recent cuts in state education spending, wealthy communities are finding that their property taxes earmarked for state education budgets exceed the amount they receive from the state for their schools.
Irvine Unified School District, which also switched to self-financing, ended out-of-district enrollment last year.
Beverly Hills board Vice President Lisa Korbatov said it's an issue of fairness to residents of the exclusive city because their money will now be used to fund their schools, and they shouldn't have to pay for outsiders.


Fundamental thermodynamic relation
In thermodynamics, the fundamental thermodynamic relation is generally expressed as a microscopic change in internal energy in terms of microscopic changes in entropy, and volume for a closed system in thermal equilibrium in the following way.
The classical Carnot heat engine
Here, U is internal energy, T is absolute temperature, S is entropy, P is pressure, and V is volume. This relation applies to a reversible change, or to a change in a closed system of uniform temperature and pressure at constant composition.
This is only one expression of the fundamental thermodynamic relation. It may be expressed in other ways, using different variables (e.g. using thermodynamic potentials). For example, the fundamental relation may be expressed in terms of the enthalpy as
in terms of the Helmholtz free energy (F) as
and in terms of the Gibbs free energy (G) as
Derivation from the first and second laws of thermodynamics
The first law of thermodynamics states that:
where and are infinitesimal amounts of heat supplied to the system by its surroundings and work done by the system on its surroundings, respectively.
According to the second law of thermodynamics we have for a reversible process:
By substituting this into the first law, we have:
Letting be reversible pressure-volume work done by the system on its surroundings,
This equation has been derived in the case of reversible changes. However, since U, S, and V are thermodynamic state functions, the above relation holds also for non-reversible changes in a system of uniform pressure and temperature at constant composition. If the composition, i.e. the amounts of the chemical components, in a system of uniform temperature and pressure can also change, e.g. due to a chemical reaction, the fundamental thermodynamic relation generalizes to:
The are the chemical potentials corresponding to particles of type . The last term must be zero for a reversible process.
If the system has more external parameters than just the volume that can change, the fundamental thermodynamic relation generalizes to
Here the are the generalized forces corresponding to the external parameters .
Derivation from statistical mechanical principles
The above derivation uses the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The first law of thermodynamics is essentially a definition of heat, i.e. heat is the change in the internal energy of a system that is not caused by a change of the external parameters of the system.
However, the second law of thermodynamics is not a defining relation for the entropy. The fundamental definition of entropy of an isolated system containing an amount of energy is:
where is the number of quantum states in a small interval between and . Here is a macroscopically small energy interval that is kept fixed. Strictly speaking this means that the entropy depends on the choice of . However, in the thermodynamic limit (i.e. in the limit of infinitely large system size), the specific entropy (entropy per unit volume or per unit mass) does not depend on . The entropy is thus a measure of the uncertainty about exactly which quantum state the system is in, given that we know its energy to be in some interval of size .
Deriving the fundamental thermodynamic relation from first principles thus amounts to proving that the above definition of entropy implies that for reversible processes we have:
The fundamental assumption of statistical mechanics is that all the states are equally likely. This allows us to extract all the thermodynamical quantities of interest. The temperature is defined as:
This definition can be derived from the microcanonical ensemble, which is a system of a constant number of particles, a constant volume and that does not exchange energy with its environment. Suppose that the system has some external parameter, x, that can be changed. In general, the energy eigenstates of the system will depend on x. According to the adiabatic theorem of quantum mechanics, in the limit of an infinitely slow change of the system's Hamiltonian, the system will stay in the same energy eigenstate and thus change its energy according to the change in energy of the energy eigenstate it is in.
The generalized force, X, corresponding to the external parameter x is defined such that is the work performed by the system if x is increased by an amount dx. E.g., if x is the volume, then X is the pressure. The generalized force for a system known to be in energy eigenstate is given by:
Since the system can be in any energy eigenstate within an interval of , we define the generalized force for the system as the expectation value of the above expression:
To evaluate the average, we partition the energy eigenstates by counting how many of them have a value for within a range between and . Calling this number , we have:
The average defining the generalized force can now be written:
We can relate this to the derivative of the entropy with respect to x at constant energy E as follows. Suppose we change x to x + dx. Then will change because the energy eigenstates depend on x, causing energy eigenstates to move into or out of the range between and . Let's focus again on the energy eigenstates for which lies within the range between and . Since these energy eigenstates increase in energy by Y dx, all such energy eigenstates that are in the interval ranging from E - Y dx to E move from below E to above E. There are
such energy eigenstates. If , all these energy eigenstates will move into the range between and and contribute to an increase in . The number of energy eigenstates that move from below to above is, of course, given by . The difference
is thus the net contribution to the increase in . Note that if Y dx is larger than there will be energy eigenstates that move from below to above . They are counted in both and , therefore the above expression is also valid in that case.
Expressing the above expression as a derivative with respect to E and summing over Y yields the expression:
The logarithmic derivative of with respect to x is thus given by:
The first term is intensive, i.e. it does not scale with system size. In contrast, the last term scales as the inverse system size and thus vanishes in the thermodynamic limit. We have thus found that:
Combining this with
which we can write as:


Redskins expected to sign tight end Chris Cooley
The Redskins are expected to come to terms with longtime player Chris Cooley, a source tells Jason La Canfora.
The Redskins are in talks to re-sign tight end Chris Cooley, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, and a deal is expected shortly
Cooley, who spent his entire career with the Redskins prior to being released in the preseason, is wildly popular with fans and teammates and is in the process of rejoining the team. Washington lost tight end Fred Davis, who was playing on the franchise tag, for the season with an Achilles tear in Sunday's loss to New York.
Cooley knows the offense and has been featured at times as a pass catcher and a blocker in Washington.
He had remained in occasional contact with team officials since his release, which was at least in part due to the $3.5 million he was set to earn. It's likely that this deal, when finalized, would be for one year and considerably less money. Cooley has remained in the Washington area, working out and hoping to resume his career, ideally with the Redskins.

I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate at Memorial University (Environmental Sciences) in the Biogeochemistry of Boreal Ecosystems Research Group (BBERG) and supported by NSERC-CREATE Training Program in Climate Science. My current research is focused on soil carbon and nutrient cycling within the Newfoundland Labrador Boreal Ecosystem Latitudinal Transect (NL-BELT). I am utilizing the results of laboratory incubations to develop an understanding of climate impacts on boreal forest soil carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus reservoirs. I am also currently completing a soil survey to further investigate deep soil carbon, soil nutrients, and soil mineralogy across the NL-BELT. The long-term objective of my research is to apply this understanding to soil profiles in situ within different climate regimes to enable the interpretation of climate impacts on soil carbon and nutrient stocks.
I received my M.Sc. in Soil Sciences and B.Sc. in Crop and Weed Sciences from the North Dakota State University (Fargo). During my M.Sc., I investigated the effect of iron deficiency chlorosis of soybeans on associated symbioses for which I was awarded the North Dakota Soybean Council scholarship. As an undergraduate, I received the Plant Sciences Research Fellowship where I focused on production agriculture specifically dry bean variety trials. My interest in environmental research and educational outreach developed from an internship at the Northern Great Plains Laboratory USDA-ARS (Mandan, ND) with Dr. Rebecca Phillips where we studied greenhouse gasses in prairie and arable soils.

Since forming in 2016, Slovenian group Joker Out have garnered support for their charismatically channelling musical style of energetic soundscapes & passion-driven vocals.
Formed of Bojan (singer), Kris (guitar), Jan (guitar), Nace (bass) & Jure (drums), the group mostly met during primary school & quickly expanded to create Joker Out.
Since their formation, Joker Out received two consecutive Artist of the Year Awards in 2021 & 2022, a Song of the Year Award in 2021, & even became a Bestselling Artist of 2022.
Not long ago, Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTV Slovenija) selected Joker Out to represent Slovenia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool, UK (on behalf of Ukraine following their victory in 2022, with Kalush Orchestra’s “Stefania”) with the incredible anthem “Capre Diem”.
Joker Out has kindly taken the time to speak with Fierce & Fabulous Revolution regarding their upcoming participation at Eurovision 2023 & the story behind “Carpe Diem”. You can find the full interview below.
Hey Joker Out, thank you so much for this interview. Can you start by introducing yourself to readers who might be unfamiliar with your music?
Joker Out: We’re Bojan (singer), Kris (guitar), Jan (guitar), Nace (bass) and Jure (drums) and we’re a shagadelic rock band from Slovenia, where we are one of the hottest music acts (2 awards for artist of the year, 70 gigs last year), we’ve released two studio albums in Slovenian (2021 and 2022), with 2 songs in Serbian on the second one and this year we’ll release our debut album in English with a couple of singles (Carpe Diem and New Wave ft. Elvis Costello) this Spring. Back home we have almost sold out an Arena with a capacity of 12.000 – we’re hosting that concert in October, we are honoured to have legions of passionate fans, and we are becoming a regular feature at festivals in Western Balkans (Exit, Seastar with The Prodigy and Robin Schulz, Arsenalfest with The 1975 …) and in May we’ll represent Slovenia at the ESC in Liverpool. Oh, and we were just listed by Impala (world’s biggest association of independent labels) on ‘The 100 Indie Artists in Europe to watch in 2023’. If you want to get to know us better, don’t miss our web TV-show Joker Out Carpe Diem Series with a new episode every Monday on our YouTube channel.
When did you each discover your passion for music?
Joker Out: In primary school. Kris and Jan had a band and Bojan had his own band and they joined forces some 7 years ago (at the age of 16). And later when Joker Out started to become professional, Jure and Nace came, which had experienced studio and live musicians by that point. But all of us started playing music in our early years.
How would you currently describe your musical style?
Joker Out: Shagadelic rock & roll. People who like Arctic Monkeys, the Kooks and music that is somehow in between mainstream and indie should like our style, though we like to think that we don’t sound like a copy of anyone. In any case, you should catch us at some live gig, as that’s where we really shine.
You recently were selected to represent Slovenia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool, UK. How did the idea for you to represent Slovenia come together?
Joker Out: As we had already planned to release an English album this year, we were going to apply to Slovenia’s national selection, but then we got a call from the national broadcaster where they asked us if we wanted to go directly, which was an offer we couldn’t refuse. Slovenia hasn’t been very successful in the ESC in the last couple of years, so it was obvious they wanted to do something differently. They decided to bet on us. This, of course, puts a bit more pressure on us, but as said we have other plans on the international scene besides ESC, so we grabbed the opportunity to get involved and use this spotlight to share our music with an international audience and media.
The song you will be performing is the incredible anthem “Carpe Diem”. How did the inspiration for this song come to light?
Joker Out: We were doing an album session in Hamburg where we got locked in a studio for 10 days with our two producers, Žare Pak (a very successful rock producer in Slovenia in the last 25 years) and Californian Todd Burke (of Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, The Kooks, Belle and Sebastian, M83 and The Temper Trap fame). This happened just a week or two after we confirmed the ESC project. We worked out the music from an idea that we didn’t put on our second album and Bojan wrote some really inspiring lyrics to it, which captured our feelings at the time: »to dance all night, make love and play video games«. On Friday, March 31st we’re releasing the English version of the song, which is not a direct translation but it captures the idea and feeling of the original very well.
Did you always plan to have “Carpe Diem” as the song you’ll be representing Slovenia with?
Joker Out: We had a demo of the song with some random lyrics when we were selected to represent Slovenia and we later finished it in Hamburg. We always knew this should be the song to represent us on the Eurovision stage and we didn’t concede to the pressure of making it “friendly”, it could work as a random track from any of our albums, it’s a typical Shagadelic Joker Out song.
What does this song personally mean to you?
Joker Out: We feel it’s a kind of generational anthem with a sound message: seize the day, make something out of every opportunity and enjoy life. As with any other song we do it’s very personal for us, but what’s more important is people seem to like the vibe and the message we’re spreading.
What does it mean to you to be representing Slovenia at Eurovision?
Joker Out: The way we were hand-picked for the ESC and how Slovenian people stand by us shows a big trust in our capabilities. This invitation came after a lot of hard work and amazing results in the last seven years. On the other hand, we feel a big responsibility not to disappoint people, and most of all ourselves.
Is there anything you can tell us about the plans for the staging at the contest?
Joker Out: We don’t want to reveal too much but we’ll definitely keep the vibe of our performance on National TV. But in the meanwhile, try to catch us live or in broadcasts from official ESC preparties and you’ll get the basic idea. Our aim is to present the energy we bring to stages as a band with some fierce video production.
Which are some of your personal favourite entries from this year’s contest?
Joker Out: Our favourites are Spain, France, and Finland.
If you could perform a duet with anybody from this year’s contest, who would you choose & why?
Joker Out: We would love to perform and collaborate with La Zarra, the French contestant. She has a great voice and such elegant classy music.
What are some of the things you enjoy doing in your spare time?
Joker Out: We really haven’t had much spare time since the end of the pandemic, as we’re touring nonstop, in between we create and record new music. These days we’re doing lots of interviews every week, we travel all the time. For example, we did some 25 interviews in Barcelona last weekend, filmed an episode of our TV series, met with an actor Darko Perič (Helsinki from Money Heist / La casa de papel) and former NBA player Bostjan Nachbar, walked the red carpet, performed for thousands of people, went straight to the airport without sleeping, on Monday we filmed a music video in Ljubljana, on Tuesday we travel to Liverpool to fill parts of the video for a track we’ve done with Elvis Costelo, have a performance on BBC Radio, couple of other interviews, on Friday we fly to Warsaw, on Sunday to Tel Aviv, then we get back home for a day and to Madrid, Amsterdam, London … In normal times we’d play some football, play video games, and go to a concert or a party.
What is one thing you can’t live without?
Joker Out: Right now it’s hard to imagine not being in a band as we are totally focused on music. We still manage to find at least some time for love, family, friends and video games though. We definitely can’t live without each other.
If you could possess one superpower, what would you choose & why?
Joker Out: Teleportation. So that we could be everywhere we needed to be at once without losing time or energy for travelling.
What advice would you offer to someone who was looking to pursue a career within the music industry?
Joker Out: Follow your intuition. When you start feeling like you might be on to something with your music, you should grab it and don’t let go. Believe in yourself 100%.
Finally, is there a message that you would like to share with the readers of Fierce & Fabulous Revolution?
Joker Out: Seize the day, every day. Life is much more than meets the eye if we only dare to look beyond. Thank you for all your love and support. Vote for us in Liverpool!

Approved: Sputnik V, AstraZeneca and Pfizer-BioNTech
Population: 3 million
Fifty-six percent of Armenians will not seek a vaccine, CivilNet reported on April 19, citing a survey conducted by the Caucasus Research Resource Center. The survey found women and young people less likely to accept a jab. Armenia's vaccination campaign got off to a slow start on April 13, our correspondent reports. The Health Ministry says it does not regularly publish vaccination figures. As of April 28, just 2,600 people had received shots. Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan called the figure "shamefully low" on April 29 and urged all members of his government to get their shots within a week. Acting Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan and Acting Minister of Health Anahit Avanesyan both publicly received their first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine on April 28 to allay qualms about the shot. The next day Avanesyan said that she was feeling good and hoped her example would be contagious. Health Minister Anahit Avanesyan announced on April 14 that the government had negotiated to receive 1 million Sputnik V doses from Russia, Interfax reported. She did not say when they would arrive, though she said she hopes to vaccinate 20 percent of the population by the end of the year. 100,000 doses of Sinovac are on their way from China, state media reported on April 30. It was not immediately clear if they were approved for use in Armenia.
Approved: Sinovac, Sputnik V and AstraZeneca
Population: 10 million
Azerbaijan began its vaccination campaign on January 18 with Beijing-based Sinovac's CoronaVac, for which it has contracted 4 million doses. It has also been promised 506,400 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine from Covax; the first batch of 84,000 were delivered on April 4, the Health Ministry said. As of April 30, 1.49 million doses have been administered and 522,000 people have been fully inoculated. China has donated another 150,000 shots, Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry announced on April 27 in a press release that stressed the doses were free, but did not say who made them.
A nurse in Baku was arrested for falsely registering a patient as vaccinated, Turan.az reported on April 24. Twelve doctors around the country were fired for issuing fake vaccination certificates, Turan reported on April 9.
Azerbaijan will begin distributing the AstraZeneca vaccine on May 3 to people over age 60, state media reported on April 30. The country has received 84,000 doses through the COVAX program.
President Ilham Aliyev has several times condemned what he calls developed countries' "unequal and unfair distribution" of vaccines.
Approved: AstraZeneca, Pfizer-BioNTech, Sinopharm
Population: 3.7 million
As of April 30, 45,000 shots had been administered and 4,400 people fully vaccinated. Georgia began its vaccine campaign on March 15 with 43,200 doses of AstraZeneca sourced through Covax. Another 29,250 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, also through Covax, arrived on March 25. Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said he is negotiating with Pfizer for 1 million doses, Interpress reported on April 27. Georgia began allowing people over the age of 18 to receive the Sinopharm vaccine on April 27, RFE/RL reported. The country received 100,000 doses in early April. "The level of safety and effectiveness of this vaccine is very high," Chinese Ambassador Li Yang told an April 5 press conference. In addition, 100,000 doses of the Sinovac vaccine arrived on April 30. Li had said these would be a gift. Georgia is considering cancelling curfew for the vaccinated to encourage uptake, RFE/RL reported on April 28. The first 6,500 doses of Sputnik V arrived in the Russian protectorate of Abkhazia on April 30, Ekho Kavkaza reported. Vaccination will begin after the May 1-7 holidays. Vaccine reluctance is widespread, especially after a nurse died shortly after she received her first jab on television on March 18. Georgians were broadly hesitant even before the tragedy. One recent survey conducted prior to the nurse's death showed that over a half of Georgians were reluctant to get the jab
Approved: Sputnik V, QazVac
Population: 19 million
The general population became eligible for vaccination on April 1. Our Kazakhstan correspondent describes the waiting, the bureaucracy, and the anticlimax of getting his Sputnik V jab in Almaty. Over 1 million people have received a first dose as of April 29 and about 1.2 percent of the population is fully vaccinated.
Kazakhstan introduced a domestically produced vaccine, QazVac, on April 26. Health Minister Alexei Tsoi received the shot on live television (The next day he said his arm was a little sore overnight, but that he otherwise felt fine.). By the end of the year, the country should be able to produce 500,000 doses per month, Deputy Prime Minister Yeraly Tugzhanov said on April 22. QazVac can be stored in a regular refrigerator and requires two doses three weeks apart. The results of third-stage clinical trials have not yet been released, but the government's website says "its complete safety has been proven, the vaccine forms a strong immunity against coronavirus infection." President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said on April 23 that production would be increased until it is available for every Kazakh citizen.
Kazakhstan is working on four other vaccines against coronavirus, state media reported on April 30
Police are investigating media reports that a vaccine passport can be purchased in Almaty for 15,000 tenge (about $35). Oil workers in Aktobe region will be offered the Sinopharm vaccine starting on April 30, local health officials said. The doses are being produced in Saudi Arabia and will be named Hayat-Vax, TengriNews reported on April 27. Medical students have complained their university is forcing them to be vaccinated, TengriNews reported on April 19. Government-run broadcaster Khabar on April 13 claimed that 90 percent of Kazakh oil workers are refusing their jabs. The allegation is that laborers are reluctant to forgo the quarantine bonuses they have been receiving since the coronavirus pandemic arrived in Kazakhstan. State media on April 20 reported that more than 4,000 oil workers at the giant Tengiz field have received Sputnik V. The regional health department stressed that the vaccine campaign is not compulsory. President Tokayev received the Sputnik V vaccine manufactured in Karaganda on April 6, his spokesperson said. Tokayev had earlier pledged to wait for the domestic vaccine, prompting his spokesman to clarify that he will receive that one, too, when it is ready.
Using: Sinopharm, Sputnik V
Population: 6.5 million
Kyrgyzstan began its vaccination campaign on March 29 with 150,000 doses of the Sinopharm vaccine donated by China. Initial interest has been low. Just over 13,000 people had received shots by April 23.
Enthusiasm picked up when the Russian Sputnik V jab became available on April 23 to people age 65 and older. A batch of 20,000 doses arrived on April 22.
Over 27,000 people had received shots as of April 28; of those, 858 had received both doses.
The AstraZeneca vaccine is expected in May. First Deputy Prime Minister Artem Novikov told parliament on April 28 that 40,000 doses of Sputnik V will also arrive in May, AKIpress reported. The country hopes to vaccinate at-risk populations by the autumn, he said.
An online (and thus not representative) poll of 3,100 Kyrgyzstanis conducted by the 24.kg news agency found 75 percent would accept the Sputnik V jab, 5 percent the AstraZeneca shot when it becomes available, and only 3 percent would consent to taking the Sinopharm vaccine, which has been available since March. 17 percent said they would not be vaccinated, the website reported on April 26.
Kyrgyzstan's president alarmed health specialists by recommending coronavirus patients consume a brew made with a poison root. In a bid to quell the outcry over those remarks, the country's health minister, Alymkadyr Beishenaliyev, gathered journalists for a press conference on April 16 and drank the concoction in front of them. The president's Facebook posts about the root were taken down that weekend; Facebook says it deleted the posts for spreading misinformation whereas the president's office said he had deleted the posts himself. Within days, several people were admitted to hospital for poisoning.
A survey by the Health Ministry with the support of the WHO found 55 percent of the population is willing to be vaccinated, Knews reported on April 6. The survey of 1,000 people found 18 percent reported having used antibiotics to prevent or treat coronavirus. Antibiotics do not work against viruses and misuse is dangerous.
Population: 9.3 million
Prime Minister Kohir Rasulzoda, during a meeting with his Russian counterpart in Kazan on April 29, asked for help procuring Russian shots, saying that Tajiks trust them more than what is currently available.
Vaccinations began on March 22 with 192,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine made in India, known as Covishield, received through the Covax program. Tajikistan expects to receive about 20 percent of the doses it needs through COVAX and will need to purchase the rest. "Negotiations are currently underway with China and Russia and I am confident that vaccines will be imported from these countries in the near future," Ozodi on April 18 quoted a Health Ministry official as saying.
The government does not regularly publish figures on the number of vaccinated people.
The president on April 9 again insisted his country has registered no cases since early January and praised his decision to abandon quarantine last year, Ozodi reported, adding that many countries (he did not specify which) were studying Tajikistan's experience fighting the virus.
Approved: Sputnik V and EpiVacCorona
Population: 5-6 million
Government officials still insist no cases of COVID-19 have appeared in Turkmenistan, despite ample evidence to the contrary. State media rarely mention the pandemic, vaccinations, or any facet of the crisis. The government is currently vaccinating teachers with the Chinese-made Sinopharm shot, RFE/RL's Turkmen service reported on April 7. Medical workers and other first responders were vaccinated earlier. China claimed it had delivered a batch of the China-made Sinopharm vaccine on March 6. There is no indication the state has approved its use. RFE/RL has reported that the Russian-made Sputnik V shot is available for purchase; a full regimen costs approximately $285 at the official exchange rate. Russian officials said Turkmenistan became the first country in Central Asia to approve the Sputnik V vaccine, on January 18. Later that month, Ashgabat approved use of EpiVacCorona, also produced by Russia.
Administering: AstraZeneca, Anhui Zhifei Longcom (China), Sputnik V
Population: 33 million
The Health Ministry said that over 500,000 does of the AstraZeneca vaccine have been administered since April 1. Uzbekistan has received 100,000 doses of Sputnik V as of April 27, the government said. Distribution to people over age 65 began on April 28. Prime Minister Abdulla Aripov asked his Russian counterpart to send more Sputnik V vaccines, Kun.uz reported on April 29. Uzbekistan is the only country in the region to extensively cooperate with China, conducting third-phase trials of the Anhui Zhifei Longcom jab over the winter. One million doses reportedly arrived in Tashkent on March 27 and another one million on April 27. First Deputy Minister of Innovative Development Shahlo Turdikulova has said that she and her family were vaccinated with ZF-UZ-VAC 2001, which requires three shots over 28 days. On April 19, scientists announced the vaccine is effective against variants. 263,000 have received a dose of the three-dose ZF-UZ-VAC 2001 so far, or 46 percent of all those who have been inoculated. Teachers in Tashkent began receiving this shot on April 27, Radio Ozodlik reported. A survey conducted in late March on the Telegram instant messaging app found 44 percent of respondents would refuse vaccination.
Healthcare workers have told Radio Ozodlik that they are being coerced into receiving the vaccine. The government says the shot is voluntary.

Aligned Teams Succeed.
The Team Alignment Questionnaire (TAQ) was developed by Dr. Ralph Colby in 1980 to provide a method of benchmarking the trust level within a team and the effectiveness of communication about issues critical to a team’s success – purpose, values, vision, goals, procedures and roles.
There are two parts to the questionnaire. Part A measures the trust level, and Part B the effectiveness of communication, however when team members complete the questionnaire on the Internet they will not be aware of the fact that there are two parts – they will just answer 40 questions.
Using the Internet-based processing functionality that we have developed provides you with easy access to the powerful assessment instrument, eliminates paperwork and postage, and makes reports immediately available once team members have completed the questionnaires. Team members will receive an email requesting them to go to the appropriate web site where they will complete the questionnaire and have the opportunity to add literal comments about their perception of the team’s performance.
There are two reports for each team member:
Team Structure Report
This report is measuring two things:
- Clarity – how clear each individual believes the team is on the team’s purpose, values, vision, goals, procedures and roles.
- Approval – to what degree each individual approves of the team’s purpose, values, vision, goals, procedures and roles.
It is important to understand the difference here between what we are measuring on clarity and approval. With clarity, we are measuring each team members perception of how clear the team is. It is quite possible that an individual, the team leader for example, may be very clear on the vision for the team, but believe that the team is very unclear about that vision he or she may not have shared it yet!
With approval, we are measuring the individual’s personal approval. So you can have a happy smiling yellow face in a very unclear position on the graph, indicating that this person is clear about that item, and approves of it, but believes that the team is very unclear about it. The face that has a green circle around it includes this team member’s perception.
The Team Trust Level Report
This report is measuring the degree to which each team member perceives that the four elements of trust are present in this team.
- Openness – the degree to which team members openly share information and opinions with each other.
- Straightforwardness – the degree to which team members are comfortable being direct in giving and receiving feedback.
- Acceptance – the degree to which team members value and respect each other.
- Reliability – the degree to which team members can count on each other to do what they are supposed to do.
Although it is common to get a spread of responses on each scale, it is usually quite easy to identify at a glance which of the elements need the most work. The most underrated element is acceptance. It is this element that creates the climate in the team for the other three to flourish. The higher the acceptance in the team, the more comfortable people will be with being open and straight with each other. The more a person is respected by others for what they bring to the team, the more they will contribute, therefore the more reliable they become.
The significant thing about these reports is that most teams do not have a high degree of clarity and approval, nor do they score high in all four elements of trust. Some do, but the majority don’t. The main reason is that they just have not talked about it and often the reason they have not talked it through enough is that there is a lack of openness and straightforwardness in the team. The team leader may think they have agreement for their vision and goals, but those who don’t agree are not saying anything. In most cases where there is a lack of agreement, there has been insufficient participation of those people in the determining of the vision or goals.

I was at a potluck Sunday evening, standing in a circle of 20-and 30-somethings who live in Brooklyn, when the topic of Ethereum came up. Ethereum is a bitcoin-like platform with a digital currency called Ether that has been seesawing in value since hitting a high of around $400 in June before plummeting down to $130 this week. “I lost $700 on that shit,” said a friend who works as a video editor, pulling out his phone to check the latest price.
“Oh no,” I said.
“I bought some too,” another friend, who used to work in Vice’s digital video department, said.
“No, no, no,” I said.
“I bought a little just to check it out,” said another, who also works in Vice’s video department.
“No,” I said softly.
“It’s fun,” said another person who does not work at Vice.
This wasn’t the first time Ethereum came up in casual conversation. A few weeks ago, I was at a bar when a friend mentioned buying about $700 worth of Ether after reading something about it on a blog. This friend is a documentary filmmaker who keeps a modest lifestyle and does freelance video editing to pay rent, so I was surprised that he would invest in a digital currency. “I didn’t invest more than I would be comfortable losing,” he assured me.
Why are all my friends investing in a digital currency that’s currently exhibiting all the classic signs of a giant bubble? Let’s first consider Ethereum’s backstory. It was conceived of by a 24-year-old programmer named Vitalik Buterin, a recipient of the Thiel fellowship who now lives in Singapore. Ethereum is more complex than bitcoin: It includes a programming language, a system for negotiating contracts over the internet, and a digital currency called Ether. It was much-hyped by programmers before a bare bones version of the network debuted in July 2015. Ethereum was so anticipated that it raised $18 million — yes, in real money, for a piece of a system that did not exist yet — in an online “crowdsale” in 2014 in which Buterin and his team presold Ether in exchange for bitcoin. People who bought in received Ether tokens that would theoretically be usable to pay for transactions, such as the negotiation of a contract, once the Ethereum network launched.
At the time, Buterin warned people not to speculate with Ether. “Ether is a product, NOT a security or investment offering,” Buterin wrote in a blog post announcing the Ether presale, emphasis his. “Ether is simply a token useful for paying transaction fees or building or purchasing decentralized application services on the Ethereum platform.” In other words, Ether is meant to be redeemed for computing time on the Ethereum network, in the same way that programmers buy keys from Amazon in exchange for server power and storage on its cloud services platform.
Of course, speculation happened anyway. Ether is traded on most digital currency exchanges, such as Coinbase and Kraken, and can be bought for bitcoin, U.S. dollars, and other world currencies. It was worth $1.35 in September 2015, according to the ethereumprice.org price tracker, and inched up in value until earlier this year when it started skyrocketing. On March 1, it was $15.91. On April 1, it was $49.96. On May 1, it hit $79.79. And on June 1, it was up to $228.64. People started talking about “the flippening,” the day that the value of all Ethers on the market exceeded the $34 billion worth of bitcoins. Again, this is supposedly a real-dollar value for what is basically a Chuck-E-Cheese token.
For weeks, I’ve been trying to figure out what was driving this bubble. Who was possibly paying close to $400 in real, U.S.-government backed money — or even in bitcoin, which is another stateless digital currency but has at least been around since 2009 and can be used to buy real stuff — for a digital currency that came out of nowhere and whose inner workings are extremely dense for nontechnical people?
Could the answer be… my friends? My friends and people like them — under 35, college-educated, internet-savvy, and thoughtful with their money — are inflating the Ether bubble. They became aware of it through word of mouth, or from reading about it in the news, in the past few months. They understood the risks of investing but felt optimistic enough to spend hundreds of dollars on something that seemed to promise a chance at profit. After all, it’s easier to invest in Ether than in regulated markets like the stock exchange or Silicon Valley, and the promised returns are alluring.
There is a lot of exciting possibility around Ethereum, which like bitcoin is built around a blockchain — essentially a distributed ledger where all users of a network verify what each other are doing. Ethereum could theoretically power everything from artist-run music stores to encrypted voting, for example — but it needs a robust buy-in from programmers, entrepreneurs, and actual users of the system, rather than from people specualting on just the currency. The only explanation for the run-up in price is the fact that new people were suddenly buying into the economy and driving up demand. I believe those speculators are non-technical people who are savvy enough to understand the gist of Ethereum but not the nuts and bolts, who have cash to spare, and who remember the stories of people getting rich off bitcoin.
The exact number of people who made money off bitcoin is unknown, but there are dozens of documented stories of those who mined or invested in bitcoin when it was cheap and held on to it long enough to make substantial profits (some of those stories are in New York Times reporter Nathaniel Popper’s book, Digital Gold). I asked my friend if the tales of bitcoin millionaires were a factor in his decision. “Oh of course,” he said. “100 fucking percent. Multiple people I know made good money back in June or whenever that shit went hog wild.” Redditors we interviewed said the same thing: They thought Ethereum could be the next bitcoin, and didn’t want to miss out again.
Buyers are acting on hype and a hunch
As for whether he understood the technical aspect of Ethereum, he admitted he doesn’t fully grasp all the concepts. “I’ve certainly tried to,” he said. “I’ll be honest, I’ve tried really hard to understand the blockchain in general and it’s still well outside my wheelhouse.”
As a tech reporter who covered the many booms and busts of bitcoin, and witnessed the rush of speculators buying it up whenever it peaked, the idea that my friends were blowing money on a hype-y internet technology they didn’t fully understand stressed me out. I jokingly posed the question on Quora: “How do I get my friends to stop buying Ethereum?” which actually garnered five answers and dozens of votes. Most of the answers said to let my friends decide what to do with their money, which is fair and basically what I am doing anyway.
There was one person who was bearish on Ether: Zac Sand, who had received 12 upvotes at the time of writing. “The banker kleptocurrency Ethereum, is designed to fleece suckers who think ‘all digital money is the same,’” he wrote.
Ether peaked on June 13 at $395.13, then started to fall. Ethereum could end up having the staying power of bitcoin, and the potential upside of investing in Ether is certainly higher than traditional, regulated investment vehicles like stocks or startups.
I am not saying that Ethereum won’t be big, or that Ether won’t go up in price again, or that you should not invest if you have a few hundred bucks you’d like to creatively get rid of, and I’m not qualified to give investment advice. But the fundamentals of the asset — Ethereum’s codebase — cannot justify the price, because the buyers of the asset have no ability to evaluate those fundamentals, and are basically acting on hype and a hunch. Furthermore, Ether was not supposed to be an independent currency; it’s a way to incentivize a distributed network of programmers to write apps for Ethereum and keep the network running. And finally, the people rushing into Ether seem to be violating the most common sense principle of investing, which is buy low, sell high. When you buy high, all you’re doing is making other people rich.

Buildings are all about security and comfort. Safety is more important since you want to rest assured that the things stored in your house are in the best condition and wholly protected from theft. However, what most people do not think about is the durability of the building itself. In this case, you must invest in a building that can last for the longest time possible. This makes it worthwhile in terms of investment since you will never have to pull it out down so as reconstruct. That said, metal buildings are among the most durable buildings that you can construct today.
Although not many are familiar to the concept of Victory Buildings, the options are unlimited. You can have metal structures such as RV shelters, barns, agricultural buildings and garages among others. The type of structure to get is normally dependent on the creativity of the company you are working with for the services. Typically, your order of a metal building consists of instructions on the size of the structure and the purposes for it. You can design the building by yourself, but it is best for you to have the professionals do it.
Steel buildings are made in a factory and transported to your site for assembly purposes. Therefore, you must ensure that your grounds are clear and ready for construction. The most important factor to consider is the type of metal to be used by the seller to make your structure. In most cases, steel structures make the best metal structures. Steel is famous for its strength, and it is durable since it is not affected by rust. However, you should consider painting the structure and observe other maintenance techniques that will ensure it serves you for a more extended period. Know more about building at http://www.ehow.com/about_6718522_kind-house-duplex_.html.
Finally, metal buildings are easy to construct. Much time is taken in the company during the process of cutting and joining the metals. However, the assembling stage takes a day or two, therefore, it is among the fastest methods of putting up a structure. The cost of metal buildings is dependent on the supplier of the materials. Some are expensive, but others have offers which make the costs of setting up a new structure to be low. For instance, companies that offer free shipping should be considered. Also, if they offer free assembly services, you should consider working with them since you will end up spending fewer amounts for a new building that is durable. Get more info.

Easy and traditional meringue cookie. I had 6 egg whites left over from another recipe, so made a triple batch! This made ALOT of cookies! I did follow other reviewers and left them in the oven turned off after baking time was done for an additional 30 min. Then removed them to a cooling rack. They were crisp and melt in your mouth. My daughter took some to a friend's house who had never had meringue cookies, she said they were skeptical, but after tasting, ate the whole plateful! Oh ya, made them without chocolate chips.
