Those of you who’ve been on the blog since last August (and maybe those of you who haven’t) have probably read Sea Glass & Pressed Flowers, which was my third short story on the blog. It’s not my most fabulous work, but I really enjoyed writing it. I’ve interviewed the secondary character Livi Brooklyn, but I have yet to interview any of the other characters, including the main character Keslie Bardell. Keslie is sweet, loves the ocean, loves music, is a great artist and a dancer, and loves coffee shops (specifically the one she works at) and warm cozy things. Enjoy her interview. :)
This book is amazing. I’ll just start with that. This book is wonderful. The style, the characters, the plot… It’s just wonderful.
I had the privilege of reading excerpts of this book, since Miranda (Mandy) and I are in the same writing group (which in no way affects this review, because this book can more than stand on its own), and I immediately fell in love with the poetic writing style and intricate characters. Every excerpt just piqued my interest more, and by the time I was finally able to buy Echoes I was dying to read it. Continue reading “Book Review: Echoes by Miranda Marie”

In his first parliamentary address last Monday as the new Japanese Prime Minister, Yoshihide Suga committed the country to a target of net-zero emissions by 2050.
Suga commented that “Responding to climate change is no longer a constraint on economic growth”. Absolutely right.
He added that “taking assertive measures against climate change will lead to changes in industrial structure and the economy that will bring about growth”. I.e. going green will mean economic growth.
Japan is the latest of the world’s large economies to commit to a net-zero emissions by 2050.
That means big reductions in fossil fuel imports. Bravo Japan!

Title: An African Emperor in Egypt
Subtitle: The Representation of Septimius Severus and his Family on the Egyptian Coinage
Author(s): VANEERDEWEGH, Nick , VAN BOUWEL, Leen
Journal: Ancient Society
Volume: 50 Date: 2020
This article aims to study the public representation of Septimius Severus and his family on the coins struck in Alexandria during his reign (193-211 CE). More specifically, we investigate the impact of political events (such as wars or imperial elevations) on the coinage, and the relationship between the Egyptian coinage and the imperial coinage. Former studies of the Severans’ public image on coins have mainly been based on the imperial coinage, while the Egyptian coinage has rarely been taken into account. However, not only was Egypt of vital importance to the empire’s grain supply, emperors feared its potential as a springing board for usurpers, while Septimius Severus personally visited the province with his family in 199/200 CE. Our research is based on Emmett’s catalogue of Alexandrian coins, and we have further categorised the reverse types found there according to Manders’ classification of third-century coin types. Our analysis shows that political events directly influenced the choice of coin types in Alexandria, especially military victories. Another important political theme on the Egyptian coins was Severus’ dynastic representation, which included linking his family to the Antonines, and presenting his sons Caracalla and Geta as heirs to the throne. Finally, the strong ties between the emperor’s public image on the imperial coinage and the Alexandrian coinage point to a common source for the typology of both coinages.

My hips are a guillotine
cleaving satin with each giddy stroke.
Limbs akimbo, I ground myself to a pulp.
I just want to feel until I am raw and broken.
In my mouth love is dangerous,
a lotus redder then any sunset.
I gorge myself on belief
and in belief the genius of union
gives way to the marginally absurd.
My heart is a fusillade,
the blooms of my bloodline
crackle and blacken.
Will you force
my memories in place
when they wonder off course?

[en] The Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) on board the SOHO spacecraft has been operational since 2 January 1996. EIT observes the Sun over a 45 x 45 arc min field of view in four emission line groups: Feix, x, Fexii, Fexv, and Heii. A post-launch determination of the instrument flatfield, the instrument scattering function, and the instrument aging were necessary for the reduction and analysis of the data. The observed structures and their evolution in each of the four EUV bandpasses are characteristic of the peak emission temperature of the line(s) chosen for that bandpass. Reports on the initial results of a variety of analysis projects demonstrate the range of investigations now underway: EIT provides new observations of the corona in the temperature range of 1 to 2 MK. Temperature studies of the large-scale coronal features extend previous coronagraph work with low-noise temperature maps. Temperatures of radial, extended, plume-like structures in both the polar coronal hole and in a low latitude decaying active region were found to be cooler than the surrounding material. Active region loops were investigated in detail and found to be isothermal for the low loops but hottest at the loop tops for the large loops.

Best Time to Visit paris weather wise
Paris is a city that can be enjoyed year-round, as each season offers its own unique charm. However, the best time to visit Paris weather wise would be during the spring and fall months.
Spring in Paris starts in March and lasts until May. This is the season when the city comes back to life after the cold winter months. The temperatures during this time range from about 50 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 18 degrees Celsius). The weather is generally mild and pleasant, with occasional showers, making it the perfect time for outdoor activities like strolling through the gardens or sitting in a café. In addition, this is when the Parisians come out to play and there are many cultural events like exhibitions, concerts and festivals.
Fall is another great season to visit Paris, which usually starts in September and runs through November. This is when the temperatures start to cool down after the warm summer months. During the fall, the temperatures range from about 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 15 degrees Celsius). The weather is mild and comfortable, with occasional showers and some sunny days too. The city is also less crowded during this season, making it a great time to enjoy the museums and cultural events without having to deal with crowds.
Summer can be hot and crowded in Paris, and this is usually peak tourist season. Temperatures during the summer can range from 65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 29 degrees Celsius). While it is a great time for those who love outdoor activities, it can get a bit uncomfortable for some due to the heat and crowds. However, summer in Paris offers a plethora of activities like open-air film screenings, music festivals, and other outdoor events.
Winter in Paris is the least popular time to visit. The temperatures can be frigid, ranging from 35 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit (2 to 7 degrees Celsius). The city looks beautiful with the festive lights and decorations, but the cold weather can make it harder to enjoy the outdoor activities. However, it is a great time to visit if you want to experience the city without the crowds and get a great deal on hotels and airfare.
In summary, the best time to visit Paris weather wise would be during the spring and fall months. During these seasons, the weather is mild and comfortable, with occasional showers and sunny days. Additionally, the city is less crowded during these seasons, making it easier to enjoy the many cultural events and attractions Paris has to offer.

I had heard great things about this dark, mysterious indie thriller and it certainly didn’t disappoint. A superb mix of the light-hearted darkness synonymous with the Coen Brothers and the sudden, brutal violence of a Nicolas Winding Refn film, Blue Ruin tells the story of a man who has spiralled into despair after the murder of his family, who suddenly finds a purpose in life with the release of their murderer from prison a number of years later. A typical revenge tale is wonderfully acted by the unknown (to me anyways) Macon Blair and precisely directed by Jeremy Saulnier who keeps the tension taut and the mood absolutely black. I give it 9 hamsters out of 10 hamsters. (Yes that’s right I use a Hamstometer…what about it?)
I have had an obsession with real life adventure stories ever since my older brother handed me a copy of Joe Simpson’s stunning book Touching the Void and told me to “be prepared to be amazed”. I suitably was and ever since I have sought new stories about surviving the extreme. The documentary Touching the Void, directed by Kevin Macdonald in 2003 is in many ways the gold standard for how these particular types of stories should be told and it was with that standard in mind that I watched Beyond the Edge which details Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay’s first summit of Everest in 1953. Filled with gorgeous archive footage from the actual expedition and recounting the story in great detail the film just seemed to lack a certain…drama! Whereas the likes of Touching the Void, The Summit or Into Thin Air all have the dramatic narrative turn of knowing that something really terrible is about to happen, unfortunately Beyond the Edge just doesn’t have that edge. The fault with the achievement is that it was a great success and pretty much nothing went wrong. I still liked it, more so because of the archive of glorious footage mixed with the sheer determination of those involved but as a doc it was more of a hill than a mountain! It gets 5 hamsters.
Because I love these types of stories so much I have decided to make you a short list of books and documentaries about such stories:
Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer
No Way Down by Graham Bowley
An Unsung Hero: Tom Crean Antarctic Survivor by Michael Smith
The Climb by Anatoli Boukreev
Left for Dead by Nick Ward
Touching the Void by Joe Simpson
Touching the Void (2003) Dir. Kevin Macdonald
The Summit (2012) Dir. Nick Ryan
The Beckoning Silence (2007) Dir. Lousie Osmond
Deep Water (2006) Dirs. Louise Osmond, Jerry Rothwell
Stranded: I’ve Come From a Plane That Crashed on the Mountains (2008) Dir. Gonzalo Arijon
This is one of those films which I’ve been meaning to watch for ages (I mean like 5 years) but I just never got around to it. It’s also a film that you think you need to be in the right mood for it. Well at about two o’clock in the afternoon on a Friday I was in that mood. And to be honest I was kinda pissed off I hadn’t watched it a long time ago. Jim Jarmusch is also one of those directors who I know a lot about but I haven’t actually watched a lot of his films (Akira Kurosawa falls into this category also, unfortunately) so Ghost Dog was an eye opener in many ways. It tells the story of a freelance hit man (Forrest Whitaker) who gets a contract put out on his own life when the mafia want him dead. Unfortunately for them oul Forrest (AKA Ghost Dog) has been reading up on the way of the samurai and has become the perfect hit man; quiet but fierce, deadly but kind. Set against a hip hop urban backdrop, it is essentially a samurai film about a lone outsider trying to do right by himself and Jarmusch wonderfully winds this professional life with his odd but striking personal relationships. The interactions between Ghost Dog and Raymond the ice cream man (who can’t speak English) work so well throughout the film that you kinda hope they do a prequel just about them, where they sit around all day talking shite to each other in different languages not having a notion what they are saying but still havin’ the lols. Ghost Dog gets 8 hamsters.
Have you seen that film Buried starring Ryan Reynolds? The film where he is buried alive in a coffin and has a phone and has to free himself? And there are no other actors apart from voices on the phone? And it’s really really shit? Yeah that one…the really really shit film that is completely dependent on one single actor maintaining your interest for 90 minutes but the actor they chose was Ryan “I really shouldn’t be here” Reynolds.
Well Locke is exactly the same as that except it is really really good…and it doesn’t star Ryan Reynolds, it’s stars the man of the moment (I cannot wait for Mad MAX) Tom Hardy who actually can act, and it’s written and directed by the guy who wrote Eastern Promises and Dirty Pretty Things. It tells a really simple story actually and is entirely based in the front seat of Ivan Locke’s car as he drives across England for an hour and a half. A mistake made a few months earlier comes back to haunt Locke and his seemingly ideal life which slowly begins to unravel when he finds out a woman he slept with is having his baby. It doesn’t help that he hasn’t told his loving wife and that he is also on the eve of the most important day of work in his entire life. His Bluetooth system goes into overdrive as he bounces between calls trying to keep some sort of control on the spiralling situation. The real glory of this film is definitely Tom Hardy’s performance and it carries the idea in the way many others (ahem) have failed. The film was shot twice each night for eight nights in full 90 minute takes until they had enough to craft this wonderfully interesting film. It gets 8 hamsters.
Ah, the good oul prison drama. The sub-genre that gives gold sometimes (Hunger, Cool Hand Luke, Shawshank) and sometimes gives shite (Mean Machine, Lockout, Ernest Goes to Jail). So when I sat down to Starred Up I didn’t quite know what to expect. One thing I knew was that Ben Mendelsohn was in it and I have a serious man crush on Ben Mendelsohn ever since seeing Animal Kingdom a few years back. I’ll pretty much watch any film that has Ben Mendelsohn in it. Did I mention I like Ben Mendelsohn? He is superb. Watch Animal Kingdom and watch Killing Them Softly and I think you’ll agree. So when I watched Starred Up I was expecting another stellar performance from ‘B-Men’ as a deranged prisoner looking out for his son who has just been moved from baby prison to the real man prison that’s he’s also a prisoner in. But a wholly unexpected thing happened. That thing is named Jack O’Connell and he stole the show as the young psychotic prisoner trying to adapt to his daddy’s territory. It really is the performances that define this film and both leads are spectacular against some of the more common clichéd prison settings; a therapist trying to change the minds of the prisoners, a lead gangster running the prison, a dodgy warden. O’Connell is set for big things and Mendelsohn can do no wrong so Starred Up is worth a visit. It’s 7 hamsters for Starred Up.

An article from Norwegian SciTech News at SINTEF
Controlling robots with your thoughts
Robots move in new ways, via electrodes attached to a person's head or a camera.
Denne artikkelen er over ti år gammel og kan inneholde utdatert informasjon.
Angel Perez Garcia can make a robot move exactly as he wants via the electrodes attached to his head.
"I use the movements of my eyes, eyebrows and other parts of my face", he says. "With my eyebrows I can select which of the robot's joints I want to move" smiles Angel, who is a Master's student at NTNU.
Facial grimaces generate major electrical activity (EEG signals) across our heads, and the same happens when Angel concentrates on a symbol, such as a flashing light, on a computer monitor. In both cases the electrodes read the activity in the brain. The signals are then interpreted by a processor which in turn sends a message to the robot to make it move in a pre-defined way.
"I can focus on a selection of lights on the screen. The robot’s movements depend on which light I select and the type of activity generated in my brain", says Angel. "The idea of controlling a robot simply by using our thoughts (EEG brainwave activity), is fascinating and futuristic", he says.
A school for robots
Angel Garcia is not alone in developing new ways of manoeuvring robots. Today, teaching robots dominates activity among the cybernetics community at NTNU/SINTEF.
In the robotics hall, fellow student Signe Moe is guiding a robot by moving her arms, while SINTEF researcher and supervisor Ingrid Schjølberg is using a new training programme to try to get her three-fingered robot to grasp objects in new ways.
"Why all this enthusiasm for training?"
"Well, everyone knows about industrial robots used on production lines to pick up and assemble parts", says Schjølberg. "They are pre-programmed and relatively inflexible, and carry out repeated and identical movements of specialised graspers adapted to the parts in question", she says.
"So you are developing something new?"
"We can see that industries encounter major problems every time a new part is brought in and has to be handled on the production line", she says. "The replacement of graspers and the robot's guidance programme is a complex process, and we want to make this simpler. We want to be able to programme robots more intuitively and not just in the traditional way using a panel with buttons pressed by an operator.
"We want you to move over here"
Signe Moe's task has thus been to find out how a robot can be trained to imitate human movements. She has solved this using a system by which she guides the robot using a Kinect camera of the type used in games technology.
"Now it's possible for anyone to guide the robot", says Moe. "Not long ago some 6th grade pupils visited us here at the robotics hall. They were all used to playing video games, so they had no problems in guiding the robot", she says.
To demonstrate, she stands about a metre and a half in front of the camera. "Firstly, I hold up my right hand and make a click in the air. This causes the camera to register me and trace the movements of my hand”, says Moe. "Now, when I move my hand up and to the right, you can see that the robot imitates my movements", she says.
"It looks simple enough, but what happens if....?
"The Kinect camera has built-in algorithms which can trace the movements of my hand", she says. "All we have to do is to transpose these data to define the position we want the robot to assume, and set up a communications system between the sensors in the camera and the robot", she explains. "In this way the robot receives a reference along the lines of 'we want you to move over here', and an in-built regulator then computes how it can achieve the movement and how much electricity the motor requires to carry the movement out" says Moe.
New learning using camera images and sensors
Ingrid Schjølberg is demonstrating her three-fingered robotic grasper. Teaching robots new ways of grasping will greatly benefit the manufacturing industry, and this is why researchers are testing out new approaches.
"We are combining sensors in the robotic hand with Kinect images to identify the part which has to be picked up and handled", says Schjølberg. "In this way the robot can teach itself the best ways of adapting its grasping action", she says. "It is trying out different grips in just the same way as we humans do when picking up an unfamiliar object. We've developed some pre-determined criteria for what defines a good and bad grip", she explains. "The robot is testing out several different grips, and is praised or scolded for each attempt by means of a points score", smiles Schjølberg.
"Has this method been put into practice?"
"This system has not yet been industrialised, but we have it up and running here at the robotics hall", says Schjølberg. "The next step might be to install the robot on the premises of one of the project's industry partners", she says.
The project "Next Generation Robotics for Norwegian Industry" incorporates all relevant aspects of activities being carried out by our industry partners in the project – Statoil, Hydro, Glen Dimplex and Haag – who are all taking an active part.
"They are funding the work, but also involve themselves actively by providing case examples and problems", says Schjølberg. "During the remainder of the project term, we will be working to make both the software and the system more robust", she says.


This morning, the Bermuda Police Service received a phone call to our 911 system stating there was a “bomb in the courts”.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Martin Weekes stated that in the early stages as the threat was being analysed and assessed by the Intelligence Department of the BPS, the main Court building at Dame Lois Browne-Evans Building and the buildings to either side (Hamilton Police Station and Global House) were temporarily evacuated. Once the threat had been assessed, the two neighbouring buildings were re-opened and a floor by floor assessment was undertaken of the Court building by senior staff led by the Manager of Hamilton Magistrates Court, following established protocols.
Bermuda Police Service personnel together with Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service cordoned off nearby streets. Once a proper assessment of the building had been made in, and in agreement with an officer from the BPS Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit, the building was declared safe and staff were allowed back in to resume their stations before the public was allowed to enter.
Minister for National Security, the Hon. Wayne Caines, JP, MP, stated, “All threats of this nature are taken seriously and as a precaution staff were evacuated from Global House and the Dame Lois Browne-Evans buildings. The most important thing is always the safety of staff. It is unfortunate that someone would do something so malicious to impact commerce and disrupt not only the courts but the work of everyone in these buildings.”
The Bermuda Police Service wish to remind the public that it is an offence to make false or malicious calls and that a full investigation is ongoing to identify the person or persons responsible.


The Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing models are the most capable high-performance luxury sedans that the luxury marque has ever marketed. However, their identity has gotten a bit murky during the transition to the twp-tiered V-Series approach. Wherein “XYZ-V” was used to designate the range-topping performance, it is now positioned mid-pack, while “XYZ-V Blackwing” denotes the real and range-topping beast. Throwing a wrench into the mix is that the Blackwing cars are not badged any differently than the “regular” V-Series models. With that in mind, we figured an overview on how to quickly distinguish a top-of-the-line V-Series Blackwing model from their less potent CT4-V and CT5-V counterparts was very much in order.
Differences between the two V-Series tiers pertain to the front and rear lower fascias, carbon fiber treatments, wheel design and sizing, tire sizes, a small yet significant difference in body work, and color options. And if you happen to peep in through a window and see a manual transmission, then it’s a dead giveaway that you’re looking at a Blackwing. Now, on to the exterior differences.
Starting up front, the V-Series Blackwing models flaunt a redesigned lower fascia, with larger openings and different grille treatments, which allow for more optimal engine cooling. The differences become more pronounced on models equipped with the optional carbon fiber packages, which start at $4,100 for Carbon Fiber Package 1 plus an additional $5,230 for Carbon Fiber Package 2 (for a combined cost of $9,330). Notably, the first package encompasses the front end while the second package adds to the sides and rear of the vehicles.
Opting for the exterior carbon fiber components gives the smaller CT4-V Blackwing a much more aggressive demeanor, as it gets canards / dive planes in addition to a front splitter and front wheel well deflectors.
The same can be said for the CT5-V Blackwing, though unlike the smaller CT4-V Blackwing it does not receive canards but does receive a more aggressive front splitter and front wheel well deflectors. The larger sedan also gets a carbon fiber grille when equipped with Carbon Fiber Package 2.
Moving to the sides, the biggest giveaway will be the front fenders, which are much more pronounced thanks to openings ahead of the front door that aid in engine and brake cooling, while also improving underhood aerodynamics. While it may be easily missed by a less passionate passerby, we happen to think the reworked front fenders are a very appealing improvement over the non-Blackwing sedans.
Similar to the front end, the differences in the side profiles of the vehicle become more pronounced with the addition of carbon fiber components. As a reminder, Cadillac only offers such carbon fiber packages for the Blackwing models, not for the CT4 / CT4-V or CT5 / CT5-V.
Cadillac CT5-V Side Profile
Another distinction that’s most visible at the sides of the vehicle would be the wheels and tires. The CT5-V Blackwing offers three 19-inch wheel sets and the CT4-V Blackwing offers three 18-inch sets. Comparatively, the CT4-V and CT5-V offer quite a few more options, though none are as wide as the wheels that are bolted to the more powerful Blackwing models, which need all the traction they can get.
To clarify, there’s also the magnesium wheel option for Blackwing models, though these are not yet available.
Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Wheels
If you see any of these wheels on a Cadillac V-Series model, then you know it’s most likely a Blackwing, though it’s possible for non-Blackwing owners to bolt these units to their non-Blackwing models.
Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing Wheels
- Luxury: 225/45R17
- Premium Luxury: 235/40R18
- Premium Luxury with Diamond Sky: 235/35R19
- Sport and V-Series: 235/40R18
- V-Series V-Series Blackwing: P255/35ZR18 front and P275/35ZR18 rear
- Luxury and Premium Luxury: 245/45R18
- Sport and V-Series: 245/40R19
- Premium Luxury with Diamond Sky: 255/35ZR20
- V-Series Blackwing: P275/35ZR19 front and P305/30ZR19 rear
Moving out back, the biggest Blackwing giveaways will be a reworking of the rear diffusers, always finished in black, as well as the darkened exhaust tips compared to the bright polished chrome tips of the non-Blackwings. Notably, both of the V-Series models in question feature four trapezoidal exhaust outlets at the rear. Additionally, any presence of aforementioned carbon fiber goodness will also tell you that you’re looking at a Blackwing.
Of course, the rear of either Blackwing will have a beefier presence when compared to the more pedestrian stance of the CT4, CT4-V and CT5, CT5-V, courtesy of the wider wheels and tires. The sounds coming from the tailpipes will also be rather distinct, as both Blackwing models provide more robust exhaust notes with the CT5-V Blackwing being a bit more rambunctious thanks to its supercharged 6.2L LT4 V8, which packs 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, the CT4-V Blackwing’s twin-turbocharged 3.6L LF4 V6 makes 472 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque, while still delivering a healthy exhaust note.
The ability to own or even drive any of the fine Cadillac Blackwing machines is a blessing, but for those who want the best of the best, the Blackwing models are the way to go. Now that you’ve read this quick guide, you’re basically an expert in distinguishing the between the V-Series Blackwing top-dogs and the non-Blackwing V-Series models.
Finally, unique badging for the super sedans. It seems size might matter after all, at least when it comes to desiring fast cars.

Is accepting Jesus’s sacrifice for me really the only way to heaven?
Well, there’s one other way to enjoy that perfect relationship with the Father in heaven: to be born sinless and go your whole life without ever sinning! But since everyone is born of fallen parents and experiences an imperfect human life in a fallen world, we all need Jesus!
Jesus lived his life as an example to us of how to live as a human walking with God. Everything He did, we can do.
Jesus lived his life as an example to us of how to live as a human walking with God. Everything He did, we can do. Though He could have crushed the devil in the desert, He instead battled temptation with Scripture, just as we can do. He depended on the power of the Holy Spirit, just as we can. He was strengthened by angels, just as we can be. He experienced betrayal and denial, just as we do, and he was tempted in every way, as we are. He understands the trials of human life, and He lived in such a way as to model how we can live.
So what did Jesus do when facing the most difficult and important trial of His life? He asked God, as we often do, “Isn’t there any other way?” The answer was no, and yet, Jesus voluntarily accepted the Father’s will and entered into suffering, death, and wrath from sin so that we would not have to.
In our world, we want things to be easy, but God’s desire is to make us holy. You were created by God for His glory and His purposes; God has prepared good works for you to do (Eph 2:10) for His glory. If you want God to use you for something great (God-sized), you will have to follow Jesus’ example and voluntarily walk into a situation that you would otherwise pray to have taken away from you. You will need to make a decision to be courageous, voluntarily confronting the fear and pain that lies ahead. But how can you do that?
You can endure suffering with courage and strength by leaning into the Father, as Jesus does in the Garden of Gethsemane, the night before His betrayal and death. He prays! He calls out to his “Daddy” – His “Abba, Father”:
Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”
He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.” Mark 14:32-36
In Luke’s account of this event in the Garden of Gethsemane, an angel appears to strengthen Jesus as He is asking for God to spare Him from suffering—and finally submitting to the Father’s will:
Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him. When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Luke 22:39-44
Did you know that in the midst of your own trial, pain, heartache, and seemingly impossible burdens that angels are available to give you strength, as they did for Jesus? If you are suffering, ask God what He wants to do in your life. Even if your suffering is a result of your own sin, God can use it to cleanse you, shape you, and purify you. By following Jesus’ example of prayer, you can be strengthened, receive courage and encouragement, and step forward. Pray to God and listen to His voice. He already knows what you have to say, but if you sit quietly and listen, His words to you are life-changing.
Sit quietly and think about your life, your relationship with God, your pain, your fears, your burdens, and your unknowns. God wants you to talk to Him, to listen to Him in silence, and to allow Him speak to you. Allow Him to affirm in your heart His love for you, and you can be strengthened to surrender to His will.

Kylie Jenner’s epic documentary-style video of her pregnancy and the moments leading up to the birth of her first child has a lot to it. But unless you've watched the 11-minute video a few times, chances are you missed a couple big moments between Kylie and her family, Kylie and Travis, and Kylie and her baby. Here, a mini map of all the things you might not have noticed below.
Kylie’s video opens with mama Kris giving birth to Kylie on Aug. 10, 1997. It looks like the whole family was in the room, including 13-year-old Khloé, who was wearing that year’s hottest item: white overalls.
This tender moment between Travis and Kylie. It’s likely this was at the beginning of her pregnancy, when things were just setting in.
#Fountaingoals. This has nothing to do with Kylie’s baby but look how lush everything is!
Saint West clapping (at Kylie’s birthday party) is pure joy.
Another tender moment between Travis and Kylie, this time at the doctor’s.
This 'lil wave from Kylie and her bump, courtesy of cool aunt Kendall.
Baby Jenner-Scott is captured kicking on camera. Hello there!
“It’s just In-N-Out these days, [it] literally tastes like…the best thing I’ve ever had,” Kylie tells her doctor in one clip. In the next, Kylie is seen at an In-N-Out drive-thru.
“Can we hear the heartbeat?” Kris says, snuggling up to Kylie at the doctor's.
Kylie and Jordyn posing prom-style at Kylie’s baby shower is perfect.
Kylie and Khloé’s bump-to-bump photo is also super sweet.
“I’m 34 weeks today,” Kylie says to the camera while casually flashing something sparkly on her left hand. Is that…No, it can’t be. Can it?
At the family Christmas dinner, Kylie lists every item on her plate: “Two burgers: one for me, one for the baby. Two different fries, cuz I like regular fries and she really likes sweet potato fries. And then I got enough mac and cheese, greens, one rib.”
Seemingly done with dinner and the adult table, North and Kanye engage in a little game of running around the house. Somewhere, Saint is clapping and cheering his family on.
Find someone who looks at you the way Travis and Kylie look at each other at Christmas dinner.
This. All. Of. This.
You probably didn’t miss this one, but just in case, Chicago West made her debut in Kylie’s video. And what a debut it was.

The Field (ubi caritas)
The Field (ubi caritas)
In The Field (Ubi Caritas), three texts crisscross through a forest of overlapping musical cycles. The most famous law of Moses demands that we love others more than ourselves. The Ubi Caritas—one of Christianity’s oldest hymns—teaches that when we demonstrate love, we step into the very presence of God. Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet reminds us of our mortality so that we may pay more attention to life’s truly meaningful moments.
I finished this composition during the National Conference of the American Choral Directors Association in 2019. My mentor, Dr. Jefferson Johnson directed the TTBB Honor Choir in a performance of Richard Burchard’s Dedication. As the opening chord rang through the hall, I found myself sitting once again in the UK Fine Arts Building Room 17 as a doctoral student alongside Patrick Callaghan. Reflecting on the heartbreaking inspiration for the work, I tried my best to sight-read on solfege syllables, but I could hardly see the notes on the page through my tears. Back in Kansas City’s Helzberg Hall, I wept again, amazed by music’s unique ability to unveil the magnetic cycles of life.
In my composition, ostinatos mimic these cycles, both the mind-numbing complexities that distract us from the mission of love and the flashes of beauty that call us back to meditation. Gibran’s field is one of many touchstones—like Dedication is for me—connecting us to those past experiences that truly matter. Here, we clear our mind to halt evil impulses and controversies. We become mindful of those who “lie light” beneath “green sod above” and of the children who play upon it. We hear and feel “the joy that is immense and good” while practicing the very thing that makes us human: love.
Pages are missing from the preview pictures, but all pages will be included in the file that you order.
This title is listed as a site-license and includes a conductor’s score, all parts, and vocal scores. Purchase it once and you can make as many copies as needed for ensembles at your institution. This license is non-transferable, so you can’t share your copies with other ensembles, but pricing is always negotiable if you contact me. I just want to share in making great music together!
Please enjoy the premiere performance by the San Jacinto College Choir under the direction of Patrick J. J. Callaghan.

In the past years blockchain industry saw the explosive growth in innovative blockchain financial applications covering a broad range of use cases, including blockchain network(Ethereum), DeFi(Compound), and GameFi(Axie Infinity). The robust influx of brains and capital came with a crypto boom, but blockchain protocols are still way far from being mature products.
Taking lending protocol as example, though a handful of outstanding products like Aave, Compound and Venus have already launched a set of lending services for crypto users on Ethereum and BSC, lending sector has yet to produce a simple, convenient and multi-functional lending product with broad appeal both in and outside the world of crypto natives.
To address this pressing need, Gringotts Labs, the upstart crypto incubator which raised $300 million liquidity investment from Ivy Venture, rolled out Zenith.Finance, a lending protocol on Cube Chain.
Zenith.Finance is designed to provide one-stop, peer-to-peer lending solutions with decentralization and transparency to ensure maximum reliability for users. Zenith aims to become the best lending product on Cube Chain and to extend its influence in crypto world.
As one of the most popular blockchain network, Cube Chain boasts a high TPS up to million level and very low transaction fees.
For an upstart blockchain network like Cube Chain, lending sector plays a very vital and essential role for the maximization of its capital-efficiency. The converse is also true. For Zenith, an upward and energetic new lending protocol, Cube Chain is also the best place to demonstrate itself and prove its value in front of all users.
Crypto assets are like river – the flowing one is always clean and alive, and the stagnating one dies.
With hundreds million liquidity investments, the highly-scalable markets on Zenith will not only provide high-yielding deposit and lending services, but also improve the overall capital-efficiency of Cube Chain ecosystem and provide solid backup for Cube-based assets.
At launch, Zenith will enable borrowing and lending money markets across a set number of assets and offer the following high-liquidity money markets with dynamicly-adjusted incentives:
Zenith was audited by the prominent blockchain security firm Armors and has a reliable risk control management system. Compared to other lending protocols, Zenith is definitely a better choice for users who give high importance to asset safety.
How far will Zenith.Finance go?
According to some reliable insiders, in the coming days Zenith will introduce additional money markets including stablecoins, DeFi tokens, LP-tokens, and other major markets. With hundreds million USD liquidity investment and higher yielding deposit and lending market, Zenith will go steadily on its mission to innovate, benefit, and change.

Even as Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, the Mississippi River's levees held up when those in other parts of the city did not.
But as Tropical Storm Barry, which could become Hurricane Barry, threatened New Orleans with torrential rains that will test the city's flood defenses this weekend, the height of the city's river levees was the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' greatest concern, spokesman Ricky Boyett said Thursday.
A hurricane warning was in effect along the Louisiana coast, with forecasters predicting landfall as a possible category 1 hurricane by early Saturday.
The danger to New Orleans — bound by the Mississippi River on its south side, Lake Pontchartrain on its north side and tributaries leading into the nearby Gulf of Mexico on the east — is threefold: storm surges from the sea, rain from the sky and water from the rising river if the levees fail.
While the Corps wasn't expecting the already-swollen river to spill over into the city, the threat from Barry was real with a storm that was forecast to dump 10 to 20 inches (25 to 50 centimeters) of rain on New Orleans through Sunday, with isolated areas getting 25 inches (64 centimeters).
The river was expected to crest at about 19 feet (5.8 meters) on Saturday in New Orleans, where the levees protecting it from the water range from about 20 to 25 feet (6 to 7.5 meters) in height, said Jeff Graschel, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service.
The river's levees haven't been overtopped in New Orleans since the early 1920s. but state officials warned that a change in the storm's direction or intensity could change that.
National Guard troops and rescue crews were stationed around the state with boats and high-water vehicles. Helicopters were also on standby, and supplies including drinking water and blankets were ready for distribution, the Guard said.
President Donald Trump on Thursday night declared a federal declaration of emergency for Louisiana, authorizing the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate all disaster relief efforts.
As of early Friday, Barry was about 80 miles (130 kilometers) south of the mouth of the Mississippi, with winds around 50 mph (80 kph). Tracking forecasts showed the brunt of the storm blowing into the Louisiana delta west of New Orleans on a path that could continue toward Chicago, swelling the Mississippi River basin with water that must eventually flow south again.

De Young Museum
On my most recent visit home to San Francisco, I had a museum day with my mom. My mom was insistent we see the Hamish-Bowles-curated Balenciaga and Spain at the De Young Museum. My mom had already seen it (bought the catalogue), and had been raving to me about its unconventional display. The clothes are integrated into a background of paintings (one by Miro, a reproduction of Velazquez’s Las Meninas), photographs of the Spanish landscape and matadors; sometimes lively flamenco music accompanies the designs. I wanted to glean something from the exhibition to point out to my mom that she might not have noticed. This came from the object labels. Each label included the requisite materials, date, lending organization, and donor. However, in some cases an additional “worn by” line was added.
Who were some of the women wearing Cristobal Balenciaga’s bolero jackets and flamenco-inspired gowns?

My kids are crazy for guacamole. And my 2nd grader in particular happens to be crazy for tuna salad in her lunch. So when I was introduced to THIS recipe for a chicken salad made with healthy avocado, Greek yogurt and lime juice, I decided tuna would be a fun substitute.
Not only does tuna contain those healthy Omega 3’s we’ve heard so much about, but during a busy week, opening a few pouches or cans of Bumble Bee tuna from my pantry is preferable to poaching some chicken breasts.
This tuna salad really does think it’s guacamole. In addition to the dressing of mashed avocado, Greek yogurt and lime juice, it contains some fresh chopped red onion, cilantro, celery and little salt. Dipping all-natural blue corn tortilla chips into this delicious salad completes the guacamole comparison. Of course, not all children are going to cheer for cilantro or even onion or celery in their lunch. If that’s the case, simply omit it from your guaca-tuna salad. Or pack this fun lunch for yourself as a treat. Even though I work from home, I sometimes pack my own lunch the night before when I’m packing for both kids… it’s a time-saver and ensures I eat a healthy lunch the next day… usually sitting at my computer screen.
I was easily able to find these 5 ounce pouches of Bumble Bee tuna at my local grocery store. I chose the premium albacore tuna for my guaca-tuna salad, but it also comes in a light tuna variety and in cans as well as pouches. Take a look HERE at the Bumble Bee website for all kinds of recipe inspiration… I’ve personally got my eye on the Caesar Tuna Sandwich and the Three Cheese Tuna Melt. What are some of your favorite tuna recipes? Anyone have fond memories of the ubiquitous tuna casserole? I actually am sometimes nostalgic for it… and it must have crushed potato chips on the top!
As for my kiddos lunch box, in addition to the guaca-tuna salad with blue tortilla chips for dipping, I included some fresh sliced peppers and white chocolate pudding (another lunch-time favorite) topped with fresh strawberries and dark chocolate chips. They both are allowed snacks during the day, so I also packed them each a banana and some graham crackers. They were happy with their lunch and so was I!
I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.

Almost everyone is in favor of solar energy, but not everyone wants to live across the street from a solar power plant. Invenergy, a renewable power developer based in Chicago, has installed more than 100 solar farms in various locations around the nation, but it ran into a new variation on the “not in my backyard” theme at a public hearing in Pueblo County, Colorado, recently.
Television station KRDO in Colorado Springs reports that a group of 12 residents living across the road from the proposed solar installation attended a county commissioners’ meeting recently to object to the proposal. The speakers, all homeowners in the St. Charles River Estates neighborhood, told the commissioners having so many solar panels so close to their homes poses a risk of fire.
“There are numerous concerns but the biggest concern is the fire danger,” Rocky Mangini told the commissioners. “The only thing separating this facility from us is a 60 foot right of way road. Burnt Mill Road.” If the panels caused a grass fire, the closest fire fighters are 30 t0 40 minutes away, he said. By the time the fire trucks responded, all the homes in St. Charles River Estates would be nothing more than smoldering embers, he suggested.
Mangini didn’t say specifically how that might happen. If you have information about solar panels sparking grass fires, please send it our way and we will be sure to pass that information along to the commissioners for their consideration. Mangini also failed to address what resources the community has to fight any fires in the neighborhood except with garden hoses. Presumably a backyard grille or fire pit might constitute an existential hazard to the community, as well as little boys playing with matches in the school yard.
If the community truly has no firefighting ability, there is some question about what it is doing out in the middle of the prairie like that and how the residents obtain fire insurance policies so banks will give them mortgages. In other words, the residents have every right to be concerned about fires, but their focus on grass fires from overheated solar panels is the least of their concerns.
Ben Turner, who represented the company at the meeting, told the commissioners, “It’s going to provide property taxes to the county. This project will provide property taxes without increasing the tax base on any of the local constituents. These are grassy areas, they catch on fire for other reasons, so fire is always going to be a concern, but these [solar farms] historically have been low risk for fire concern.”
“Harumph,” was Mangini’s reply, or words to that effect. He told the commissioners he and his neighbors are all for clean energy, but “We need to have some forethought, and some common sense to make sure they don’t place these facilities where they will impact residential properties,” he said. Translation — we’re for it as long as it’s located somewhere other than across the road from us.
NIMBY is not new. It affects everything from halfway houses for convicts to where recycling facilities should be located. Invenergy surely must have encountered similar objections in other communities. Perhaps it should rethink how it gets local residents on board with renewable energy projects. Maybe if it offered to create a microgrid that could power the community in the event of a grid failure, that would help people welcome this project rather than oppose it.
Nobody ever wants anything new in their neighborhood unless there’s something in it for them. Renewable energy companies have lots of super smart engineers to design their systems. Maybe they need more social engineers to help them sell their ideas successfully to local residents so the renewable energy revolution can move forward as quickly as possible.

Teresa Henry Nutritional Therapist (DipCNM, DNAfit NT, mANP, mGNC)
Teresa Henry, founder of Slender Health Nutrition is a professionally qualified Nutritional Therapist having gained my three year Diploma in Naturopathic Nutrition from the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM, UK and International). She is also trained in blood chemistry (ANP) and genetic/DNA testing interpretation and evaluation (DNAfit certified). Teresa is registered with the Association of Naturopathic Practitioners in England (ANP) and regulated by the General Naturopathic Council, UK (GNC).
As a nutritional therapist, I use a holistic approach to your health with an in-depth understanding of the biochemical and physiological processes of the body. I look at the 'root cause' of your health symptoms and use the latest in evidence based research to underpin my nutritional therapy programmes. This allows me to really understand the underlying reasons which contribute to your symptoms and health concerns and help support you towards achieving good health and maintaining it.
It takes many years for your health to decline, with many habits that led to ill health. So you need time to allow your body to recover and heal. Working with me, my aim is to help improve your health, address your symptoms, so you regain control of your health, your energy and feel great again.
My journey in nutrition began after the birth of my second child and then the death of my mother from ovarian cancer. The fear of developing heart disease and cancer was very real for me and I was concerned for genetic aspects and future health of my family. So began the long and tough journey to find out more. Among many things I learned that carrying weight around the middle (even if you look relatively slim otherwise), is a hidden health concern. I realised that food and the promotion of natural healing are vital tools to address health issues, and ultimately give you the best chance to remain healthy into old age. Nutrition is also a wonderful tool to safely compliment the benefits of modern medicine.

Is it bad to drink tea some hours after it was made after reheating )?
Generally for food items stored between 5–60 degree Celsius, the maximum time for which they are safe to consume is 2 hours unless there’s a preservative or something that may prolong its safety for consumption.
So yes you can drink the tea after 2 hours..
Can you get sick from drinking old tea?
Old tea will have an inferior taste and antioxidant qualities. It will not necessarily make you sick, but it is not recommended to be consumed. The same rule applies to old tea leaves, which may be safe as long as they have been stored properly, but will be of poorer quality.
Can I drink tea that sits overnight?
In short, please don’t drink it! When tea sits around for too long, a substance called TP (tea polyphenol) that it contains will start to oxidise, this darkens the tea. … In a nutshell, drinking overnight tea not only doesn’t provide you with any vitamins but also will infect your body with bacteria. So please don’t!
Does sun tea go bad?
Once used, throw the tea leaves away – they cannot be re-steeped. Do not leave the tea to brew in the sun for longer than 4 hours. Prepare only the amount of tea you plan to consume in that same day. Refrigerate the tea as soon as it is ready and keep it refrigerated.
Can I drink 10 year old tea?
Yes, it is completely okay to drink them. It certainly won’t kill you or even make you sick. As a worse case, it will give you a less flavorful tea. I found whilst doing my research, people were drinking loose tea leaves that were as old as 3 to 10 years.
Can bacteria grow in tea?
Tea leaves may be contaminated with coliform bacteria. If iced tea is brewed at inadequate temperatures or in an improperly cleaned urn, or if it is stored for too long, it may grow coliform bacteria, most frequently Klebsiella and Enterobacter, and less commonly E. coli.
Can Tea mold make you sick?
Considering this, can Tea mold make you sick? Yes, some molds cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems. And a few molds, in the right conditions, produce “mycotoxins,” poisonous substances that can make you sick.
What happens if you drink bad tea?
If you’ll keep it in a dry place, it won’t go bad. The worst thing that is likely to happen is that it will lose some of its flavor and taste a bit stale. Drinking that tea won’t kill or even make you sick, you’ll simply dislike it and probably choose to discard it.
Can I drink tea left out overnight?
Generally, you should avoid drinking tea that has been left out overnight. This can allow bacteria and mold to grow, which can cause serious health problems. The tea will also start to lose all its flavor. … So, it’s probably best to avoid drinking tea that has been left for too long.
How long will tea last unrefrigerated?
8 hoursAlways store the tea in a very cold place. Understand that room-temperature tea should not be kept for more than 8 hours.
Why tea is bad for health?
Though moderate intake is healthy for most people, drinking too much could lead to negative side effects, such as anxiety, headaches, digestive issues, and disrupted sleep patterns. Most people can drink 3–4 cups (710–950 ml) of tea daily without adverse effects, but some may experience side effects at lower doses.
Can tea give you food poisoning?
Health department testers found the tea samples contained coliform bacteria, which can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. When coliform bacteria is found, other harmful organisms also may be present, such as salmonella and intestinal viruses.
How long is tea good for after made?
2 to 5 daysBrewed tea will last 2 to 5 days in the fridge. Be sure to place the brewed tea in an airtight container. Simply putting plastic wrap over a container is not enough. An airtight container will also keep the flavors in without exposing the tea to other more fragrant foods in your fridge, such as onions.
Should I squeeze my tea bag?
Squeezing the tea bag will make your drink bitter According to Finest English Tea, tea leaves are high in chemicals called tannins. … You also run the risk of squeezing too hard and puncturing or tearing the bag, meaning you can end up with loose tea leaves floating in your cup, and that’s just yuck.
Can brewed tea be stored at room temperature?
Most people will not store brewed tea at room temperature since it usually tastes best when it’s either piping hot or ice cold. … If you do ever leave your tea sitting at room temperature, make sure you drink it within an eight hour period. Any longer and bacteria may have begun to grow.
Does bottled tea go bad?
If the expiration date has passed, the tea should still be ok to drink, if it has been properly stored. Opened bottles of tea will expire quickly. After opened, bottled tea should be kept in the fridge and finished within 5-7 days. If any bottled tea develops an “off” appearance, odor or flavor, it should be discarded.
Is it safe to reuse tea bags?
You can reuse tea bags as much as you want. If the tea bags are in a safe and healthy condition. Ideally, tea bags shouldn’t be used more than a maximum of two times within any 24 hours before discarding. This maximum time helps make sure every reuse ensures safety first, and a reasonable taste.

Everyone loves a Epic/Best/Greatest list – especially when a classic album such as Violator gets some recognition.
But where might Violator feature in catalogue of the Greatest Dance Albums Of All Time?
Thump, a website which charts the fortunes of the global dance music scene, set out its criteria as follows:
“We looked exclusively at artist albums—those complete statements of musical intention and dancefloor ambition.
“Singles rule but albums like these are iconic in their own right, holding down the foundation of dance music’s storied past and bright future.
“There are no compilations, best-ofs, soundtracks, or mixes included; they have their place, but elsewhere.
“Instead, we gathered the 99 LPs that have left a mark on dancefloors and are guaranteed to make you work up a sweat while doing your thing, be that in your bedroom, under a mirrorball, or bathed in starlight.”
So that’s that…
The top ten, in reverse order:
- 10 – Kylie Minogue – Aphrodite (2010)
- 9 – Basement Jaxx – Rooty (2001)
- 8 – Robyn – Body Talk (2010)
- 7 – Disclosure – Settle (2013)
- 6 – Chemical Brothers – Dig Your Own Hole (1997)
- 5 – Underworld – Dubnobasswithmyheadman (1994)
- 4 – Fatboy Slim – You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby (1998)
- 3 – Madonna – Confessions On A Dancefloor (2005)
- 2 – Carl Craig – Landcruising (1995)
- 1 – Daft Punk – Discovery (2001)
Very difficult to argue against Daft Punk’s barnstorming groove-fest that is Discovery (Daft Punk’s live act is still one of best on the circuit), but where is Violator?
This is what the compilers had to say about Depeche Mode’s 1990 long-player:
“This near-perfect jewel of synth-goth glory is Depeche Mode’s singularly most beloved work of art. It begat generational anthems like Personal Jesus, Enjoy the Silence, and Policy of Truth, catapulting the band from underground faves to global mainstream success.
“Part pop saveur, part lecherous perv, Violator at 25 is still creepy-sexy enough to arrest a new generation in its tracks.”
And that, ladies and gents, was enough to put Violator in at number 11.
Shame it missed the top ten by a whisker, but a very good position overall, in extremely hallowed company…
But, as someone has already pointed out: Is Violator a dance album? 🙂

A Pearland man was arrested and charged with indecent exposure after authorities accused him of touching himself inappropriately inside a League City Wal-Mart on Thursday afternoon.
Aaron Jenkins, 38, of Pearland was arrested and charged with evading arrest and indecent exposure in League City on Thursday, according to court records.
Jenkins was arrested after police were called to the Wal-Mart on FM 646 to a report of a man touching himself in the store, police said. When they arrived, officers saw a man exiting the store who matched the description provided by a witness who had called in, according to the complaint.
The man tried to flee, and reached a truck that was parked near the store, but was arrested before he could drive away, according to the complaint.
Jenkins was held on $67,500 bond, according to jail records. He was still in custody at the Galveston County jail on Friday afternoon.

Mild-mannered Nelu works as a security guard in the local supermarket in Salonta, a small town on the Romanian-Hungarian border. This is a place where many illegal emigrants try to cross, by any means possible, to Hungary and then further into Western Europe. For Nelu, each day is mostly the same: fishing at dawn, then work, and finally home to his wife, Florica, in their isolated farmhouse. One morning, Nelu fishes something totally different out of the river: a Turkish man trying to cross the border. Not able to communicate verbally, the two men still understand each other to a certain extent. Nelu takes the stranger to the farmhouse, gives him some dry clothes, food and shelter. Morgen, Nelu tells him, tomorrow things will work out. Marian Crisan’s poignant comic drama highlights the wonderful, unexpected kindness of average people and the utter absurdity of borders.
