Love does not take into account a wrong suffered NASB
Love never fails. When we operate in the heart condition of love, we operate with the heart of God who is love. That brings us into alignment with His mind, which is called wisdom and with His power, which is the anointing.
We live in a broken world. Not broken by original design but broken because of the minds and hearts of people who were called to shepherd the world. We were created in the image and likeness of God and, so we were designed to operate in love towards Him, towards one another and in that love to shepherd or steward our planet.
The creation itself is travailing because of our lack of love.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. (Romans 8:18-22).
The word translated as “the revealing” is the same word that we get the term apocalypse from. There is an appointed hour for the full revelation of who we truly are. Our true nature is transformational. This is such a radical event that it shifts the very nature of nature. The creation which is broken now becomes whole as we truly come into our identity as the sons and daughters of God.
This wholeness comes about because of the sons and daughters of God coming into their true nature. This nature is love.
Love is the power to transform reality. This is not just an emotion but the transformative nature of God Himself. God who speaks existence out of chaos, is in our hearts transforming us by His Love and trusting us with the words of life to speak the hope and the promise of a healed world. This is the vision of the Gospel, the good news.
For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:5-6)
The whole point of these teachings is to activate ourselves into the reality of love which is the power of the Gospel.
Today, we are going to look at our record-keeping which is the measure by which we experience life. Sometimes this is linked to the “measure” by which we listen.
And He was saying to them, "Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it will be measured to you; and more will be given you besides. (Mark 4:24)
Our scripture verse from 1 Corinthians 13:5, is that love keeps no record of wrongs. What does it mean to keep a record of something?
Is the Lord teaching us to forget things that have injured us? Maybe. Maybe not. No, I think the key is in how we listen in the wrong that we have suffered.
You see He is the Word. Another way of saying that, is that He is love speaking. He always speaks Words of Love because He is Love.
Only Love can judge, or measure correctly. Even Yeshua who was love incarnated did not rely on His ability to judge or measure correctly.
"I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. (John 5:30)
So how hearing happens affects our ability to judge or make an accounting of what happens in our lives. It isn’t just our biological ability to perceive sounds but the condition of the heart that listens.
So, let’s run through the mechanism of being hurt.
We get hurt. How do we know we are hurt? Well, we feel pain. What is the pain? Usually an emotion. How do we interpret that as hurt? Usually, a voice tells us that it is hurt. What is the source of that voice? I don’t truly know. But for simplicity’s sake, let’s call it another gospel, the gospel of hurt and offense. The word gospel means good news, but good is relative when it is sourced in pain.
The hurt destabilizes our thinking. We think through the lens of our hurts. The hurts bend reality like a prism. In biblical terms, this bending of reality is called iniquity. The iniquity is also called lawlessness.
"Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold. (Matthew 24:12)NASB
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (Matthew 24:12)
The word translated in these verses is “anomia” and it literally means to be without law or without Torah. Iniquity is a reality bending belief in our hearts that is in opposition to the truth of God’s Word and twists our thinking and actions.
An example of this is given in Acts chapter 8 in the account of Simon the sorcerer in the city of Samaria. Simon received the Lord and then when Peter and John came to baptize the people in the Holy Spirit, Simon saw this as a way to regain his power as a sorcerer over the people. Peter rebuked the twisting of reality that was in Simon’s heart:
"Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray the Lord that, if possible, the intention of your heart may be forgiven you. "For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity." (Acts 8:22-23)
We see a connection made by Peter of “the gall of bitterness” and the “bondage of iniquity”. Clearly, Peter knew by the Holy Spirit that Simon was bound by his bitterness. That, in turn, made his thinking twisted into thinking in error about reality. Sorcery is connected with pride. Pride is the attitude of heart where our thinking is twisted into manipulating reality to try to get our way.
The same thing happened to King Saul when he chose to disobey God and go his own way. Samuel rebuked him:
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king." (1 Samuel 15:23)
Saul’s rejection of the word of the Lord” was birthed in the stubbornness of his heart. This, in turn, came from a hurt. How is this all related to keeping a record of wrongs?
When we take a wound into our hearts and keep the record of wrongs suffered, we twist our relationships with that capturing of pain into our soul. The energy of it now is trapped and because it is a relationship response to brokenness it doesn’t only pervert us, but the relationship as well where the offense was taken.
If that weren’t bad enough, it goes a step further because it becomes a place of agreement. We come into agreement with the hurt. That binds us to the wound and changes our relationships in the spirit realm.
Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. (Matthew 18:18-19)
The wound acts like a magnet for more wounding because we have bound ourselves to the offence. Even God will honor that misery.
The impact is that now our thinking is unsound. Paul encourages Timothy in this very thing when he said:
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
Our soundness of mind is affected by the wounds which are rooted in the ungodly spirit of fear. Let’s read down a little bit and see how this fits our discussion:
For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day. Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. The Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very zealously and found me. The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that Day--and you know very well how many ways he ministered to me at Ephesus. (2 Timothy 1:12-18)
You see Paul struggled with broken relationships and he knew Timothy would as well, so he equated sound thinking and sound words with staying free of hurts and offense, keeping no record of wrongs. In order to do that, we have to “hold fast to the pattern of sound words”.
An accountant when evaluating a set of books begins with a template of what order looks like. There are expenses, revenue sources, equity investment, profit, loss, etc. The source of all of that is order, balance, fairness. The point is to assess reality as it is, has been, and plan for a better future. The key is to be honest with now. Hidden things generate a false picture. In the same way, God wants to reconcile our lives to Him. In order to do that; because we are accountable for our lives; we need to bring hidden things to light. The Body is a template for the emotions. There is a code that has been mapped out. The source code is words. We get hurt by words. We get healed by words. Words are data points. Lies and truth are contained in words and the concepts they generate. I’m going to read some words and I want you to sense what you are feeling in your body. When any word triggers a feeling that means it needs healing. Let’s pay attention as I read, and then we will pray and ask God to heal the words.
Perspective on Healing:
Endure hardship(symptoms) as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined--and everyone undergoes discipline--then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. "Make level paths for your feet," so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed. Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. (Hebrews 12:7-14)

Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God Day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. (Rev 12:10-11 NKJV) To listen to the audio-only version click below Last chapter, we began to look at how to overcome evil in these days. This verse tells us of 3 main strategies that believers use to overcome the accuser of the brethren. Accusation is the main method of the enemy. When you accuse someone of something you bring the voice of your experience to someone in authority in this case the authority is God Himself. As we mentioned a couple of chapters back, the throne of God today is in the heart of believers. "Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My F

Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Rom 8:1 NASB) To listen to the audio-only version click below Last session we began speaking about the testimony of the Spirit. We compared the impact of trying to solve the issues of our conscience from self-efforts, what the scriptures calls dead works to living the overcoming life by the Spirit. “how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Hebrews 9:14) What drives dead works? Our conscience. Our conscience is defined as that part of ourselves that determines the rightness or wrongness of something. How do we do that? What informs our conscience? I think our conscience, at its root is informed by our need to find out what is good and evil in our lives and then to choose what to do or say. In this sense, our conscience is activated by the tree of the knowledge of good an

Meanwhile, "March of the Swivelheads", an instrumental version of the Beat's song "Rotating Heads", was used in the climactic chase scene of 's Ferris Bueller's Day Off ; the band was listed in the end credits as "The English Beat".
Roger released his solo debut, a reggae-oriented album entitled Radical Departure, in In the early s, Roger joined members of The Specials to form Special Beat, which toured and released two live albums.
They supported the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. In , Roger released another solo album, Inside My Head, which included traditional reggae and ska with influences of electronica, jungle and dub. Ranking Roger's son, Ranking Junior , has followed in his father's footsteps.
Pete Townshend performed the song "Save It for Later" numerous times between and The Who performed the song twice on their Reunion Tour. In , the VH1 show Bands Reunited tried unsuccessfully to reunite the original line-up. Both the UK and US versions of the band still continue to tour frequently.
In mid, The English Beat released a box set, titled The Complete Beat, comprising their three albums along with non-album singles, remixes and live material. The English Beat recorded two new songs that feature prominently in the Scooby-Doo!
Mystery Incorporated episode " Dance of the Undead " which aired 26 March It features a zombie ska group called Rude Boy and the Ska-Tastics who come back to life in order to turn people into zombies and make them dance to ska music forever.

While the rest were forced to progress in the heat of the limelight, the Birmingham band already had a maturity sound that allowed for both stylistic diversity and musical creativity. The rich and fulsome arrangement blends a driving spot-on rhythm, tuneful riffing that dances merrily around the melody, fabulous sax solos, and sweetened by a xylophone-esque line that gives the piece a further Caribbean flair.

The structure of the diaphragm valve is very different from the general valve. It is a new type of valve. It is a special form of truncation valve. Its opening and closing parts is a piece of diaphragm made of soft material. The valve body cavity and the valve cover cavity and driving parts separated. It is widely use in various fields. Commonly used diaphragm valves are rubber lined diaphragm valve, fluorine lined diaphragm valve, unlined diaphragm valve, plastic diaphragm valve.
The diaphragm valve replaces the spool assembly with a corrosion-resistant lined body and a corrosion-resistant diaphragm, which uses the diaphragm’s movement for adjustment. Diaphragm valve body material using cast iron, cast steel, or cast stainless steel, and lined with a variety of corrosion resistant or wear-resistant materials, diaphragm material rubber and ptfe. The diaphragm lining has strong corrosion resistance, suitable for the adjustment of strong acid, alkali and other corrosive media.
The structure of diaphragm valve is simple. Fluid resistance is smal. Flow capacity is larger than other types of valves with the same specifications. No leakage, can use for high viscosity and suspended particle medium adjustment. The diaphragm isolates the media from the stem cavity, so no packing media will leak out. However, due to the limitations of diaphragm and lining materials. The pressure resistance and temperature resistance are poor, generally only applicable to 1.6MPa nominal pressure and 150℃ below.
The flow characteristics of the diaphragm valve are close to the fast opening characteristics, approximately linear before 60% of the stroke, and the flow changes little after 60%. Pneumatic diaphragm valve can attach with feedback signal, limit and positioner and other devices, to adapt to the needs of automatic control, program control or flow regulation. Pneumatic diaphragm valve feedback signal using contactless sensing technology. The product uses a thin-film propulsion cylinder to replace the piston cylinder, eliminating the disadvantages of easy damage to the piston ring, resulting in leakage and unable to promote the valve opening and closing. When the gas source fails, you can operate the handwheel to open and close the valve.

Approach To Acute Vertigo
Vertigo is usually the feeling of the entire world, relocating, rotating, or rocking suddenly when an individual is standing completely still. Some patients likewise make use of words vertigo to describe numerous symptoms, ranging from wooziness to nausea and equilibrium issues. The adhering to therapy options are often made use of to treat wooziness and also vertigo. Approach To Acute Vertigo
If your wooziness or vertigo has been identified as a result of any underlying medical condition, you need to consult your physician promptly before beginning any type of workouts. Even if the signs and symptoms you are experiencing are not because of a clinical condition, you must still see your medical professional to ensure that your signs are not a result of something else. Your medical professional will likely advise a number of exercises or various other steps to treat your vertigo.
Approach To Acute Vertigo
Lightheadedness as well as vertigo are caused by physical factors. Nonetheless, some people are born with a minor difference in their inner ears, which can create them to really feel woozy. This is most generally called sensorineural hearing loss or more typically described as dizziness. Other physical elements consist of inadequate muscle tone, consisting of the muscle mass of the tongue and the face muscles, and/or abnormalities of vision. Some signs that are taken into consideration milder variations of lightheadedness are: the experience of running out your body, a sensation that gravity is kicking you in the stomach, impaired thinking, vomiting, ringing in the ears, feelings like you are mosting likely to pass out, really feeling removed from your body or world, seeming like you are going bananas, or sensations that nothing makes sense. Approach To Acute Vertigo
vertigo is normally dealt with by one or more of the following treatment options. Depending upon your symptoms and the extent of your situation, treatment might range from easy to facility as well as requires the focus of a physician with experience treating dizziness. Several of these treatment choices are reviewed listed below.
No therapy is permanent or required. Wooziness will fix itself. If you remain to have signs after two days or if your wooziness lasts for greater than 3 days, you must go to a physician. The physician will certainly execute a collection of examinations to determine the source of your signs. Some causes of lightheadedness may be short-term concerns such as rest apnea or balance troubles brought on by a just recently detected disease. Some diseases such as diabetic issues, Parkinson’s illness, and also hyperthyroidism can likewise bring about wooziness as well as require to be reviewed and also dealt with.
Vertigo is usually related to vestibular compensation. This is a condition that triggers the inner part of the brain to perceive head activities as external stimuli.

As a result, it is very important that you keep your head as well as torso directly at all times. For those who are regularly on the move, there are tools that you can wear to stop this problem from occurring; they are normally called tilt table disks or magnetic dental braces.
The bright side is that the majority of people do not endure significant wooziness signs and symptoms when standing or sitting for 3 times longer than suggested. Prolonged sitting can in fact cause significant conditions such as carpal tunnel disorder, weak point of the jaw muscular tissues, and damages to the inner ear. The best point that you can do is to take your time when resting, and also stand up when needed. This will certainly aid to lower your risk of having lightheadedness signs and symptoms.

My Research Interests
I am interested in how human impacts on the landscape alter ecosystem function. Deforestation, urbanization, and climate change alter the connectivity of populations, the composition of communities and the emergence of disease. Using a combination of field and laboratory techniques, my lab seeks to understand how host populations maintain reservoirs of pathogens in a changing landscape. Invasive species can be excellent model systems to study, because they are particularly sensitive to these alterations and in turn serve as catalysts for changes in ecosystem function. We use this approach to study disease systems in threatened and endangered species, at the livestock/wildlife interface, and for wildlife diseases that are threats to human health.
My Focus on Extension
The goal of my extension program is to educate the general public, livestock producers, pet owners, wildlife recreationists, and wildlife professionals about wildlife diseases. My program has three foci:
- Food safety for wildlife recreationists, professionals, and small farm producers. This program instructs people how to safely handle and cook game meat, and provides information about damage control by feral swine.
- Liaison between the public and public health professionals. I advise what to do and who to contact if someone has been bitten by a wild animal or a tick
- General knowledge about wildlife diseases. I provide general knowledge about the different wildlife diseases that impact Floridians.
My Role as Director of CHeRI
The Cervidae Health Research Initiative (CHeRI) is a state-funded liaison between the Florida deer farm industry and the University of Florida. The mission of CHeRI is to promote interdisciplinary science, education, and outreach that increases the health and production of captive cervids in a sustainable manner and promotes the health of native wildlife and the ecosystems in which they live. My role as Director is to ensure that the research mission reflects the needs of the producers, that the information produced from the research is widely available to the producers, and that excellent scientists and extension specialists are trained in wildlife health.
How I Run My Lab
My research lab provides an inclusive, intellectually stimulating learning environment in a research setting, and provides these experiences for high school students, undergraduates, graduate and professional students, research technicians, biological scientists, and post-docs. My goal is to expose and immerse students in a research environment that allows them to encounter multiple types of instructional approaches from informal lectures and workshops to guided research projects. I strongly encourage collaboration and interaction among all of my lab members to promote active peer to peer learning. This combination of approaches enhances the ability to not only acquire, but to analyze and ultimately synthesize new information. The outcome has been productive cohorts of students that bring creativity and joy to their scientific inquiry.


Black Adam is expected to completely shake up the trajectory of the DC Films world, with the long-awaited project introducing some beloved comics characters onto the big screen. Reports have indicated that the project is set to begin filming in the coming months , and the film's ensemble cast has gradually begun to take shape. One of the first actors announced to be part of the film is Sarah Shahi -- and it looks like she's preparing for the role. Shahi recently took to her Instagram account to share her "research" for the project, showcasing copies of issues 13 and 16 of 52 , and the recent Year of the Villain: Black Adam one-shot. Isis plays a significant role in both of the issues of 52, a storyline that helped reimagine Black Adam Dwayne Johnson as the antihero he is in the canon today. But, a few years into my fantasy, I realized that Superman was the hero, I could never be.

There have been many 70s cartoons, 80s cartoons, 90s cartoons and present day cartoons with African American cartoon characters. But very few have had the main character s be African American. Here are the best Black cartoons from the 70s,80s, and 90s and today. Besides being flamboyant trick-heavy basketball players, the Globetrotters also saved the world from evil villains too. Who knew? Besides being a wrestler and an actor Mr. T was also a gymnastics coach who used his students to stop villains and their evil plots.
While mainstream comic book publishers may be lacking in diverse creators working on their titles, the independent and creator-owned comic book scene has seen a rise in Black creators over the past several years, giving the medium an all-too overlooked perspective and culture that elevates comics as an art form. And, with Black comic creators needing visibly and support, perhaps more than ever, creator-owned titles are often ones that benefit their creative teams more directly than their mainstream counterparts. Over the past several days, CBR has featured Black writers and Black artists whose work you need to read.

Gulzar believes that writing is a full-time job and draws much of his inspiration from the Space. Having spent over 5 decades writing in various forms in the Hindi film industry, publishing books and directing movies, it is the power of his pen that continues to keep everyone mesmerised.
BOOKS Updated: Aug 18, 2020 06:51 IST
Hindustan Times, Delhi
In an illustrious career spanning over 5 decades, Gulzar (or Gulzar Sahab as he is fondly known by his fans and admirers) has been a name to reckon with in the Hindi film industry and is one of India’s foremost writers in Urdu and Hindi. He has written dialogues, screenplays, lyrics and even directed some of the most riveting films of Hindi cinema. It is the power of his pen, however, that continues to keep us mesmerised in the present day. He believes in empowering the lesser represented – from the Indian rural society, to the poor and downtrodden, and the female characters in all his films.
Earlier this year, this masterful wordsmith also penned a heart-wrenching expression of the migrant worker’s struggles, their plight yet their unbroken spirit when the coronavirus pandemic had begun spreading, leaving the world in a tizzy. The poem, written in both Hindi and Urdu, has been translated in English by Rakhshanda Jalil, an author and a literary historian.
Sampooran Singh Kalra, or Gulzar Deenvi (after his birthplace Dina, now in Pakistan) was born on August 18, 1934. Mirza Ghalib and his life are one of his fondest topics, having created a series for DD National in the late-eighties starring Naseeruddin Shah as Ghalib. Few songs of Gulzar’s also pay tribute to the legendary Urdu poet.
In the words of Gulzar Sahab, “Ghalib is very important for everyone. You should know about him even if you are not familiar with his language. His poems, his lifestyle, his behaviour everything is a great inspiration. At a time when people used to carry their religion on their shoulders, Ghalib talked about humanity. The man lost seven children and carried a huge sadness inside him but despite that he was known for his sense of humour.”
He also became a member of the Progressive Writers’ Movement and it was while attending its meetings with his friend, mentor, and iconic Bollywood lyricist Shailendra, that he met Bimal Roy, whose film Bandini (1963) became Gulzar’s first project as a lyricist. After this, he has been associated with several films in various capacities which can only be described as the ones that stir your soul, in one way or another.
According to Gulzar, writing is a full-time job. In an erstwhile interview to HT he said, “When writers say that they need to ‘set the mood’ or ‘get into the zone’, those are all ways to procrastinate. Not prerequisites.”
The writer and creative powerhouse also draws inspiration from the Space. He shares that NASA is his favourite website, “the universe with its abstract nature attracts me. The abstract element in my poetry comes from there. I often write about the moon, and more often than not, it is to symbolise a person, or a quality.”
In his book, Chand Pukhraj Ka, Gulzar writes a nazm (poetry) on nazms being inspired by a special someone. It reads:
nazm uljhi hui hai sine mein
misre aTke hue hain honTon par
lafz kaghaz pe baiThte hi nahin
uDte phirte hain titliyon ki tarah
kab se baiTha hua hun main jaanam
sada kaghaz pe likh ke nam tera
bas tera nam hi mukammal hai
is se behtar bhi nazm kya hogi!
He has also published a number of poetry anthologies namely Janam, Ek Boond Chand, Kuch Aur Nazme and Pukhraj, several collections of short stories, and a biography of Mirza Ghalib titled Mirza Ghalib: A Biographical Scenario.
Two other sets of poems, published as Selected Poems and Neglected Poems, have been translated to English by the author and Indian diplomat Pavan K. Varma.
Speaking of Neglected Poems, published in 2012, the poems deal with a diverse range of topics including thoughts on nature, human psychology, relationships, cities and nuances of everyday life.
From mountains, Rohtang Pass, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai, these Neglected Poems’ give the reader a sense of living these moments through the printed word.
Take a look at a few of the lines from these remarkable poems, written by Gulzar:
Like a long fish lying in water
Head immersed, feet on the land,
Neither leaves the sea, noe enters it
This city of Mumbai…
Its seashores are like long socks
Pulled up to the calf
With the playful ocean at its feet.
This city always sneezes when the tide comes up at dusk…
And then he continues to explain the vibe of the city, how living here is equal to living a dream of touching the stars, and how “hearts often spend themselves out here… with nothing left.”
On Delhi, and a warm summer afternoon:
Where now are those hushed afternoons
When in bright sunshine there used to be the silence of midnight?
Often, in the ‘loo’-scorched afternoons of Delhi,
The man who made charpais
Would stand at the corner of Ghanta Ghar
And with his hand on his ears
Let out the call:
‘Get… your… charpais… made’
… Wires are cut very often, fuses go off
But the lights are always on:
This is Kolkata, Kolkata!
Whatever happens, it is always alive!
He refers to Chennai as the elderly people in a poem dedicated to the city and in another, titled New York, he describes how living in a fast lane in NYC makes one miss home (India) even more.
And if you feel the travel bug getting to you after months of being locked down, here’s a thought by Gulzar Sahab on the mountains, in the poem titled ‘Come Sometime to the Mountains’:
Come sometime to the mountains
Rugs of washed snow are spread out for you
The forests on the slopes have erected tents
Tethered to the ground by strong deodar trees
Hand-embroidered pillows of palash and gulmohar are arrayed…
… Come, when you find time from all your other chores
Maybe on some ‘weekend’, come!

For those of us night owls, living amongst the morning larks and trying to function in a 9-5 world isn’t easy. And while I had always assumed this, being a night owl and all, it wasn’t until recently that science verified it.
Night owls are people who prefer the night over the day. Typically, they need more time to adjust before they can properly function in their day. On the other hand, morning larks are morning people. You know, the ones who spring out of bed, happy to be awake and ready for action. And regardless of which of those you fit under, I’m sure you know which one you are qualified to be.
During a recent study, scientists found that night owl have a much different pattern of brain activity when compared with morning larks. And unfortunately, it is that difference in brain patterns that make life miserable for the night owl when they are pushed into the 9-5 life.
To dive deeper into these differences, researchers took brain scans of individuals that fell under these two categories and then compared them. In their findings, they discovered that night owls had lower ‘brain connectivity’ which is the measure of how in sync your different regions of the brain are with one another, compared to the morning larks.
The lead author of the study, Elise Facer-Childs is a researcher at the University of Birmingham. She explained to Inverse that brain connectivity levels being varied doesn’t always equate to a negative outcome, but for this study, lower levels were “less than positive.”
Throughout the experiment, they observed the brain function of 38 people as they slept, and measured their melatonin and cortisol with MRI scans. Throughout the day, they were asked to rate how sleepy they were, as well as when they were more alert.
What they discovered was that “morning larks” had higher brain connectivity during the day compared to “night owls.” Because of this, those who are considered to be morning people were more likely to be “primed” for tasks throughout the day.
So, what makes people more prone to being night owls or morning larks? According to a study published in Nature Communications, much of this is determined by our genes.
Night owls, in comparison to morning larks, had a much harder time being primed for tasks throughout the day, and also were found to be sleepier. In turn, these findings show that people who are night owls are far more likely to struggle in a 9-5 culture.
“This mismatch between a person’s biological time and social time — which most of us have experienced in the form of jet lag — is a common issue for night owls trying to follow a normal working day,” explained Elise.
“Our study is the first to show a potential intrinsic neuronal mechanism behind why ‘night owls’ may face cognitive disadvantages when being forced to fit into these constraints,” she concluded.

Applied Partial Differential Equations - Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics (Hardback)J. David Logan (author)
- We can order this
This textbook is for the standard, one-semester, junior-senior course that often goes by the title "Elementary Partial Differential Equations" or "Boundary Value Problems". The audience consists of students in mathematics, engineering, and the sciences. The topics include derivations of some of the standard models of mathematical physics and methods for solving those equations on unbounded and bounded domains, and applications of PDE's to biology. The text differs from other texts in its brevity; yet it provides coverage of the main topics usually studied in the standard course, as well as an introduction to using computer algebra packages to solve and understand partial differential equations.
For the 3rd edition the section on numerical methods has been considerably expanded to reflect their central role in PDE's. A treatment of the finite element method has been included and the code for numerical calculations is now written for MATLAB. Nonetheless the brevity of the text has been maintained. To further aid the reader in mastering the material and using the book, the clarity of the exercises has been improved, more routine exercises have been included, and the entire text has been visually reformatted to improve readability.

Lessons from our Vote NO on the Coyotes Arena campaign
We learned so many things in our David vs. Goliath battle with Blue Bird Development against their proposed hockey and entertainment district and we thought it would be interesting to ask those intensely involved with the fight what their three takeaways were—what they learned and what we can use moving forward.
- Listening to the community and reaching out to community members on issues should always be a top priority.
- Never give up on what you believe is the right thing.
- People coming together in grassroots efforts makes significant change.
- When large amounts of money are involved the people involved will be clever with words, but the truth is the truth.
- There are thoughtful and well-educated people in Tempe, who can read, listen and think for themselves. It was pleasant to work with the ‘no’ vote team. Strength in unity.
- I learned, or perhaps realized anew, that Cities exist for the benefit of current and future citizens, living, visiting or working within the borders, not investors and speculators. We can be open-minded without giving away our future.
- I learned — to let go and truly collaborate with so many different people, all focused on the same goal
- — to have faith that my fellow residents would see through the smoke and mirrors of the opposition
- — that defeating something (by nature, a negative action) can be a wonderfully positive experience
- A grassroots campaign prevailed against big money and traditional local political power
- Volunteers at the neighborhood level were passionate and effective at involving others
- The coalition of organizations spread the campaign across broad demographics
- The power of young activists was incredible. Articles and research are suggesting that younger voters will have a growing influence on the upcoming 2024 elections — not only for their votes but their willingness to engage in get-out-the-vote canvassing.
- The joy of working alongside others with whom one shares a common vision.
- The lengths to which big money will go to add to its treasury.
- The importance of local media (NextDoor, neighborhood newsletters) alongside large media (Facebook, etc.)
- Starting early to build up grassroots support
- Having a message sufficiently strong for people to identify with but still relatively neutral enough not to put off middle-of-the-road folks.
- Residents are very concerned about their neighborhoods and crave factual information about any changes that the city is planning.
- Once energized and educated, residents are willing to work for the good of our community and Talking Points are very helpful.
- Developers do NOT have the best interests of our city at heart and will stop at nothing to get their way but organizing with grassroots organizations is what can stop them.
- Voters respond to visual messages that pluck an emotional cord like “protecting” what they have. That’s why an online ad featuring a child’s photo worked best.
- There’s no substitute for direct contact with voters like canvassing door-to-door, meetings and events. They are effective tools to convey messages and get grassroots feedback on what they are thinking.
- With voting by mail, most elections are effectively over long before the “Election Day” when votes are actually counted.
- When faced with a better funded opponent be “David” striking at “Goliath.” Aim at the weakness within the strength of the opponent. We turned the “Billionaire” into a liability.
- The best opening tactic was creating and deploying simple yard signs that communicated a neighbors support for the “No” campaign position.
- Don’t think you can’t win even when it feels like you’re David against Goliath.
- Seize the initiative and aggressively litigate your case — organize and strategize like you’re running a political campaign for office.
- Control the narrative through grass roots communication and outreach.
Ron Tapscott, published August 5, 2023:
- After years/decades of undue developer influence on Tempe City politics … The City Council became an appendage of the Coyote/Meruelo organization.
- They allowed Meruelo, through their attorney, Nick Wood, to write their own RFP .. only Coyotes could respond
- They allowed former Mayor, Hugh Hallman, to not only write the Development Agreement but to sit in Executive Sessions representing both the City and the Meruelo organization at the same time .. City had to issue a Waiver for Conflict of Interest.
- City Council members actively campaigned for the proposal … on the Meruelo YES Campaign web site.
- Joel Navarro, during a scheduled debate, sat alongside Xavier Guterriez, representing the Coyotes.
- The City’s ruling clique/elite consolidated in their public support for the Meruelo/Coyote proposal and actively/personally attacked the Tempe1st individuals and efforts.
- The City Council forced the City Clerk to push through and abbreviate the election process to place the matter on the May ballot … normally would have been on the August ballot.
- Despite the assumption the elected leaders will protect their constituents …. they:
- Offered no challenge to the Mereulo attorney, Nick Wood, who threatened a lawsuit against three Tempe 1st activists.
- The City Council issued a contract to an outside vendor to investigate Tempe 1st … we are awaiting details through a public records request.
- An underfunded but well-organized grassroots organization can beat a Los Vegas billionaire and a corrupted City Council … by:
- Trusting the experience and neighborhood knowledge of Tempe activists from decades of community work
- Reaching out broadly and expansively to individuals, groups, and organizations that were meeting, often, for the first time.
- Understanding that differences of opinions and views were part of the process… willingness to address and “repair” those differences.
- Creating tactical flexibility allowing partners to craft their message within the overall strategic approach
Gail Graves, published August 17, 2023:
- Volunteers were the reason behind our success.
- It takes a one-on-one discussion with citizens to educate them on the issues.
- The city of Tempe continues to act on the desires of the developers over what’s best for it’s citizens.
Marie Provine, published August 17, 2023:
- I learned that your allies don’t necessarily have to share exactly the same vision you do, as long as they seek the same the end.
- Our signage taught me the importance of a good color scheme and a good motto. A motto must state an obvious truth, but not over claim. That was the lesson learned.
- I learned the press can be very lazy, and uninterested in an important conflict, until the very end.
Jacob Marson, published August 17, 2023:
- Learned that we have to utilize every effort we can. No business is too small, no person too old to help out.
- Our digital outreach was effective
- Endorsements from elected officials AND community members

With Angel Harvey on guitar/ vocals/Harmonica and Connor Hinrichsen on percussion/ ukulele.
The name come from the bands ability to ‘Adapt’ to any size venue/ type of gig. Whether it’s a small acoustic gig or a large venue rock gig. Adapt are always excited to play.
Adapt play a vast variety of genres but are heavily influenced by the 90s Alt Rock movement, as well as acoustic singer- songwriters; which is portrayed in their original material.
Their debut single "Too Bad Buddy" was released on the 22/10/19 and with a statewide tour to follow the end of 2019 and start of 2020 is looking exciting.


yes my Raspi gets also hot, about 60 degree Celsius. It's not possible to install heatsinks like this one on the photo, cause they have to Bussi Erwin fastened from the bottom but there are the distance from the original DRAWS case and they are fixed and I can't remove them. The next thing ist, that the distance between the Raspi with the cooling part and Draws HAT is very close, so the connecter fits most of the way in but I have to isolate this parts.
One solution could Bussi Erwin to shorten the existing distances from the DRAWS case and fix the cooling part with screws from the bottom side so the connecters are free again.
But Basil what solution for cooling in the DRAWS case do you have in use?

Georgia was only able to bring in three offensive linemen in the 2012 class, even though the need was there to bring in several more. The Bulldogs took a big step in its hopes of establishing some depth Saturday with the commitment of Josh Cardiello (Buford, Ga./Buford).
Cardiello has the ability to play guard or center at the next level, giving Georgia a versatile blocker that offers flexibility in regard to recruiting other interior offensive linemen.

Britishvolt, the would-be electric vehicle (EV) battery maker that recently went into administration, always faced an uphill struggle. The start-up had no track record developing technology and never confirmed how it would raise the £3.8 billion needed to start mass producing batteries, which reduces the average cost per battery.
The proposed facility near Blyth, a coastal town in north-east England, was slated to contribute around a quarter of what the UK automotive industry needs, or enough for 330,000 battery packs a year. But with no major auto firms as customers, its business model always looked vulnerable.
This was despite keen promotion from Boris Johnson when he was prime minister and a pledge of £100 million in public funding if certain conditions on the factory’s construction were met. They weren’t, and the government kept the cash.
There remains hope that new ownership could rescue the business and that batteries for EVs could still be assembled at the site. For now, though, Britishvolt’s woes raise wider questions about the future of the UK automotive industry as it transitions to making EVs, and whether the government is doing enough to support it.
For the UK to become a leader in EV manufacturing, it needs large factories (called gigafactories) making EV batteries and quickly, as demand for EVs is taking off ahead of a 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars, and the requirement for all new cars to be fully zero emission by 2035. This is particularly urgent given the nature of the trade and cooperation agreement (TCA) between the UK and the EU.
The TCA requires that batteries in EVs have to be assembled in the UK or the EU by the end of 2026 for vehicles traded between the two to avoid tariffs. The UK is lagging well behind EU countries in attracting investment in battery-making, and Britshvolt’s collapse throws this into sharp relief.
Without a major effort to build a domestic supply chain that includes battery manufacturing, UK car assembly lines will increasingly be left producing obsolete internal combustion engine cars and dependent upon imported battery components from the EU to meet rules of origin requirements. That isn’t going to make much business sense.
Follow the money
In recent years, a lot of investment in battery gigafactories has skirted the UK, partly because of uncertainty caused by Brexit. Tesla boss Elon Musk said as much in late 2019 when justifying his firm’s decision to build its first major European gigafactory in Germany.
Along with Arrival’s decision to shift electric van production to the US and Mini pulling the plug on EV production in Oxford, for now at least, government hopes for the UK auto industry as an EV powerhouse seem stuck in neutral, if not reverse. The one piece of good news so far is that battery maker Envision has committed to a new gigfactory in Sunderland that will come onstream in 2025 – the only confirmed investment in the UK.
In a good year, the UK makes between 1.3 and 1.5 million cars. As the industry seeks to supply UK and EU markets in which petrol or diesel vehicle sales are being phased out from 2030, maintaining a similar level of production will require a lot of batteries.
The UK has been slow to get government support lined up for such investment. So far, only £800 million has been earmarked for the mass production of EV batteries. Demand for EV batteries in the UK could reach as high as 130 gigawatt-hours (GWh) a year by 2040, equivalent to the output of eight gigafactories with a capacity of 15GWh each. Meeting this demand would require an investment of between £5 billion and £18 billion by 2040 according to one estimate.
Meanwhile, there are at least 35 gigafactories up and running or under construction in the EU, including those by NorthVolt (in Sweden), Saft/Stellantis (in France and Germany), Samsung SDI (in Hungary), LG Chem (in Poland), and Tesla (in Germany).
The European Commission and seven member states have allocated around €6 billion (£5 billion) to help build up to 20 gigafactories and aim at having one-third of the world’s EV batteries being made in the EU by 2030. This is expected to serve an estimated €250 billion-a-year market by that time. EU member states are simply doing more to attract investment in battery production than the UK, with heavy financial support and special economic zones to woo manufacturers.
If the UK auto industry is to compete, it will need to produce its own batteries at scale. Domestic battery production will reduce supply chain costs and ease logistical difficulties. It should also help UK-based carmakers and battery manufacturers work more closely in areas such as battery cell technology and technician training – critical to the industry’s competitiveness.
For this to be possible, the government must think more creatively about how to target financial support for car and battery makers. And, in turn, the auto industry needs a more active industrial strategy and closer partnerships with government, especially with regards to reorientating skills and the supply chain towards EVs.
This isn’t about picking winners – demand for EVs produced in the UK and internationally is forecast to be there. And increasing UK sales of EVs indicate a growing domestic market for batteries. McKinsey consultants forecast that by 2040, battery demand for European EVs will reach 1,200GWh per year, or the output of 80 gigafactories with an average capacity of 15GWh.
The UK risks missing out on new investment in a growing industry. If the UK wants to maintain its large automotive assembly capacity as it transitions to making EVs, then it will need homemade batteries and on a large scale. Only a revamped industrial strategy can help make this happen.

Cincinnati - I happened to be on the same flight this morning from Milwaukee with Brewers general manager Doug Melvin and he told me right-hander Dave Bush will see a doctor after complaining of arm fatigue in his poor outing Wednesday night with Class AA Huntsville.
I'd say that makes it very unlikely that Bush will rejoin the starting rotation Monday in Pittsburgh as originally planned.
Bush, on the DL with a micro-tear in his pitching arm after being struck by a liner in Florida on June 4, made it through only three innings with Huntsville in a game in Mississippi, allowing six hits and five runs, with two walks and two strikeouts.
One big red flag is that Bush threw only 19 of 40 pitches for strikes. Bush normally pounds the strike zone, so that's a bad sign.
If Bush has to remain on the DL, right-hander Mike Burns probably will take that start Monday in Pittsburgh. Burns has been filling in as a starter, so he'd be the No. 1 candidate to face the Pirates. The other four starters are going in this series in Cincinnati.
Melvin also told me that it's very quiet on the trade market right now regarding pitchers. He said teams still in their races are hanging on to their top pitchers and others want too much in return for average pitchers.
You might hear rumblings out of Seattle about a possible trade of shortstop J.J. Hardy to the Mariners for lefty Jarrod Washburn. Well, the Mariners are hanging in the race and might not be the big sellers everyone expected.
Washburn also is a free agent after the year and is represented by Scott Boras, so keeping him beyond this year would be difficult, and Hardy can't be a free agent until after 2010. The Brewers do have shortstop prospect Alcides Escobar ready to come up at any time, so they might consider trading Hardy if they got a top-line pitcher in return. Otherwise, his value probably would be higher on the winter trading market, especially if he bounces back with a big second half.

SPX, a manufacturer headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., said Chief Financial Officer Patrick J. O’Leary plans to retire once the company has completed its second-quarter report. O’Leary will be succeeded by Jeremy W. Smeltser, currently the CFO of the company’s flow technology segment. O’Leary received compensation valued at $7 million in 2010, according to the company’s proxy.
Cedar Fair, an operator of amusement parks headquartered in Sandusky, Ohio, promoted controller Brian C. Witherow to chief financial officer. The move came after a six-month search that included external candidates, according to a press release. Witherow has been with the company for 17 years. His predecessor, Peter J. Crage, resigned in June 2011.
Intermedia, a cloud-services provider based in Sunnyvale, Calif., said Scott Allen had joined the company as chief financial officer. He was most recently vice president of finance and operations at Citrix Online Services. Allen succeeds William Gomes, who will stay with the Intermedia for a period of months to assist with the transition. Gomes resigned from the job when it was decided that it would be based out of the Sunnyvale office instead of its current location in New York, N.Y., a company spokeswoman said.

A number of people were serioulsy injured in what police described as a “large scale disturbance” outside a pub.
Officers are appealing for witnesses to come forward after several people were hurt in the incident outside the James Tassie pub on Kilmarnock Road, Glasgow.
Emergency services were called to the scene shortly after midnight, with three men – all aged 21, taken to hospital.
Police Scotland confirmed an 18-year-old male had been arrested in connection with the incident, and that their inquiries were ongoing.
Detective Sergeant Nikki McPherson of Cathcart CID, said: “We are still trying to establish exactly what happened here. A number of people were seriously injured and it is vital that we make sure we trace all those responsible.
“Our officers are currently going through CCTV and have spoken to a number of people who witnessed the incident, however we are appealing to anyone, who has not already spoken to police, who may have information to get in touch.
“Violence will not be tolerated and although this appears to have been an altercation between two groups, other members of the public could have been caught up in this.
“We would also ask anyone who may have been injured last night, and has not presented themselves to police or attended hospital at a later point, to get in contact.”

Swachh Survekshan 2017 | Chandigarh’s 11th rank a setback, say experts
Panel that included MC commissioner, exMP and former mayors expresses disappointment that ‘City Beautiful’ did not make it to top 10punjab Updated: May 10, 2017 11:12 IST
Participants at the HT Roundtable ‘Making Chandigarh the Cleanest City’ were unanimous that the 11th rank of the city in the Centre’s Swachh Survekshan survey — a steep drop from the second position in 2016 — came as a setback.
Municipal corporation commissioner B Purushartha said, “I am not going to forget it easily.” Former Union minister and MP Pawan Kumar Bansal said the rank was a disappointment.
The panel was unanimous that failure to finish among the top 10 cleanest cities of the country was a rap for a city, whose tag line was City Beautiful.
Apart from Bansal and Purushartha, former mayors Subhash Chawla and Arun Sood, first-time councillor Maheshinder Sidhu, Chandigarh Beopar Mandal chairman Charanjiv Singh and Federation of Sectors Welfare Association Chandigarh (FOSWAC) chairman Baljinder Singh Bittu took part.
Purushartha added that he was hurt by the indifference of the residents as less than 3% had participated in the survey which had led to the drop in ranking.
He said he would rather have welcomed a negative feedback from where he could take cues on improvement. To which, Bansal retorted, “Indifference means negative feedback only.”
He added that the commissioner should have facilitated the residents in the feedback process.
‘PENALTY FOR LITTERING WELCOME’
The participants welcomed the steps proposed by the corporation to levy penalty for littering and not disposing of garbage properly, though they said execution remained the key.
There was consensus on the need to increase the MC’s powers. “Except law and order, and collection of road taxes, everything else should be with the MC,” said Bansal. Supporting Bansal on the need to empower the MC, former mayors Sood and Chawla said that all parties are unequivocal and unanimous on this.

Travel Blogs from Futaleufu
few days around Futaleufu, we wanted to do a 3 day hike there but the trails were not marked and we didn´t have a map. Instead, we did 2 day hikes which were quite nice! Futaleufu is really famous for rafting in the river but we prefered staying on the firm ...
... today back into Chile. It was painfully slow because we were on a road in the middle of nowhere, so I think the guys decided to take their time so that they had something to do for a longer portion of the day. The quality of the roads has also deteriorated quite a lot and asphalt has become a luxury. We were on bumpy dirt roads all day and were averaging 40-50km/h. We stopped at a national park to camp for the night.
... It was Sunday (bloody Sundays!) and the buses only went three times a week and, unsurprisingly, never on Sundays so we had to grab a "taxi" to get the rest of the way. The “taxi” however turned out to merely be a guy with his car and there was a disturbing moment at the border crossing where the border police questioned our driver:
Border Police Man: “So, are these two with you then?”
Our Driver: “Yes, that’s ...
... was pretty cool you could only access it by water and it had a sauna (and padded toilet seats!), so Steph took some Chilean strength pain killers and had a sauna all day.
I on the other hand rafted the Fu. It was the best rafting trip I have ever done, there is so much water the waves are huge. We came really close to capsizing, I´m not sure how the guide stayed in!
That evening we stayed in camp and the food was amazing and ...
Pour continuer sur las huellas andinas, il nous fallait prendre un bateau de Punta Mattos à Krugger. Il ne partait qu'à 10h50 alors nous l'avons pris cool ce matin-là.

Trump's niece's memoir, which describes a "nightmare of traumas," is cleared for release
Earlier this week, a judge temporarily blocked the release of a new tell-all memoir from President Trump’s niece, Mary, on the grounds of violating a prior confidentiality agreement. On Wednesday, a New York appellate judge ruled that the book’s publisher Simon & Schuster can go ahead with its release, blocking the lower court’s decision. Trump’s book, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man, is now slated for a July 28 release and currently holds the top spot on Amazon’s bestsellers list.
The Tuesday decision from Judge Hal Greenwald of the New York State Supreme Court granted a temporary restraining order to Mary’s uncle, Robert, who claimed that the book’s contents violate the confidentiality clause in a previous settlement. When Judge Alan D. Scheinkman overruled the lower court’s decision, he ruled that Simon & Schuster was not bound by Trump’s confidentiality agreement. “Unlike Ms. Trump, S&S has not agreed to surrender or relinquish any of its First Amendment rights,” Scheinkman wrote in the ruling.
The book’s publisher hailed the decision as a major victory, and consistent with other similar rulings against splashy memoirs under legal scrutiny. “We support Mary L. Trump’s right to tell her story in Too Much and Never Enough, a work of great interest and importance to the national discourse that fully deserves to be published for the benefit of the American public,” Simon & Schuster told the New York Times in a statement. “As all know, there are well-established precedents against prior restraint and pre-publication injunctions.”
The book’s promotional materials detail “a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships, and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse.” His niece reportedly “explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who currently occupies the Oval Office.”
If nothing else, this stands to fuel the political discourse for at least a few days, much like a number of other splashy anti-Trump memoirs that have since faded from memory. Under normal circumstances, a tell-all memoir from within the president's family, timed for release just one month ahead of the Republican National Convention, might function as an election-altering bombshell. Given the velocity with which everything else is happening, it's hard to imagine this shaking anyone's faith.

“Alameda no longer holds SOL, it is held by liquidators. SOL on charts is locked and often unsold for years. It means we can’t sell anything until we do, which could take 10 years or more.”

An abandoned baby boy has been found alive in a rucksack hanging on a fence in the Philippines.
Shocked locals heard the sound of a baby crying on June 29 and searched the area before finding him stuffed inside a blue bag hanging on the fence of their gate in South Cotabato province.
Aside from crying out of hunger, the infant appeared to be uninjured. He was still rushed to the hospital for a health check-up and was found to be slightly dehydrated.
"It was early in the morning when we heard the baby crying. It was strange because we had no baby in the house," resident Mary Kris Dela Cruz said.
"We searched where the sound was coming from and it led us to the front gate. Something was moving inside the bag and it was the baby."
The baby was turned over to social services after being discharged from the hospital.
Local police are searching for his parents.
A spokesman from the Provincial Department of Social Welfare and Development said in a statement: 'The baby will be under our care even after the parents were found.
"We just want to remind everyone that struggling parents could always ask us for help if they don't know what to do to their babies instead of leaving them alone and abandoning them."

When Mount Vesuvius erupted the city of Pompeii met its tragic end: it was completely covered in ash and destroyed. Today, almost two millenia later, you can visit the city on a tour that will leave its mark on you. Walk the streets of Pompeii feeling that you are travelling back and forth through time, though in reality you will be using Virtual Reality visors.
The tour starts in Rome, from where you will depart for Pompeii. An archeologist guide will meet you and take you on an adventure through the city. Not only is it fascinating, but seeing the ruins and remains of sudden death completely unchaged since disaster struck all those years ago definitely leaves a lasting impression on most visitors!
There will be a lunch stop - either pizza or a panini - before travelling on to the sleeping giant that brought about the fateful destiny of Pompeii: Mount Vesuvius. It takes about 20 minutes to hike to the highest peak with access. From here you can look directly down inside the crater of Mount Vesuvius. But don't worry: The only signs of life from the giant is a bit of steam! Definitely a historical site worth visiting!

By consisting of these ingredients in a trans-dermal spot, guys could view such perks as:
Raised sex drive and also sexual drive Greater anabolic hormonal agent degrees Lowered body fat Enhanced
testosterone production as well as is practically negative side effects free. For males that are into body building or strength training, Testo100 could aid significantly by the boosted energy as well as faster healing times supplied by the spot. Now, for a minimal time, person could receive a cost-free 30 day test of Testo100. However in order to get the cost-free test, an individual must enroll in the auto-ship choice. If it does not provide the wanted results, simply call and also cancel and there will be no more deliveries. The perks that any kind of guy could delight in are many. It can improve the top quality of life, and also make a male feel young once again. Testo100 could also supply great benefits to the major sportsmen or bodybuilder.

Question Time: Fiona Bruce defends BBC against Kinnock
Labour Party MP Steve Kinnock attempted to defend the poor publicity around Jeremy Corbyn by insisting that the UK has a right-wing media while on BBC's Question Time. After his statements insisting that the electorate needed to get over the fact of a right-wing media the BBC host quickly retorted. Fiona Bruce argued that she hoped that the BBC was not included in that statement.
Mr Kinnock said: "Can we move beyond blaming the media.
"We have a right-wing media in this country, that is a reality and it always has been."
Ms Bruce argued back: "I assume you are not including the BBC in that."
The audience can be heard murmuring and gasping at the awkward exchange between the two.
Mr Kinnock replied: "Well, there is nothing worse than when you watch a football manager after a match he has just lost blaming the referee.
"Nobody respects a team where they blame the referee for losing.
"We just have to win elections.
"Sometimes we are up against it as there is a right-wing media, but get over it.
Election 2019: Corbyn's Brexit stance discussed by Campbell
"We have got to, as a party, factor that in.
"Thirdly, can we recognise that Leave voters are a vitally important part of Labour's past, present and future.
"Until we answer those questions in the right way we will never get into power.
"I fundamentally respect the damning verdict that the electorate has given to the Labour Party in this general election."
Labour's Stephen Kinnock received another grilling during BBC Question Time as an audience member hit out at the Labour party as she explained why she thinks Labour lost the election
The audience member shunned Labour for not respecting the Brexit referendum result in 2016. The Labour voter went on to label the party's actions "absolutely abhorrent".
She said: “I think Labour lost the election because they didn’t respect democracy.
“Democracy means when you vote and you have a referendum whether you like it or not, that’s it.
“We voted to leave, how dare you!"

Reference Date: 14-September-2016
FOOD SECURITY SNAPSHOT
Slightly below average production of 2016 secondary “belg” season crops
Favourable prospects for 2016 main “meher” season crops
Cereal prices are generally at high levels
Number of people in need of assistance slightly declines, but food insecurity remains high
Production of 2016 secondary “belg” crops slightly below average
Harvesting of the secondary “belg” season crops has been recently completed, with some delay following a late onset of the rainy season. Yields in southern Tigray, eastern Oromia and eastern Amhara regions have been affected by inadequate soil moisture both at the beginning and at the end of the season. In addition, excessive rainfall in April/May caused localized water logging and flooding with ensuing losses of standing crops. By contrast, better yields have been obtained in SNNPR and central Oromia regions, where average to above‑average cumulative rains were received in April and May, offsetting the impact of early season dryness. As a result, cereal production is estimated at about 1 500 tonnes, slightly below‑average levels, but well above last year’s output (only 760 tonnes) that was severely reduced by the El Niño‑induced drought.
Favourable prospects for 2016 main “meher” crops
Prospects of the 2016 main “meher” season crops, to be harvested starting from October, are generally good. “Kiremt” (June-September) rains started on time and have been favourable across the country, except in parts of SNNPR and eastern Oromia region (in particular in Arsi, West Arsi, East and West Haraghe woredas), where germinating crops have been affected by below-average precipitations. In SNNPR, where the “belg” harvest was substantially delayed, farmers opted to plant short-cycle “meher” crops, such as some varieties of wheat, teff and legumes, due to the shortened period for crop development.
Prices of most cereals at high levels
Prices of maize, which were relatively stable in recent months, increased in August by 10‑15 percent despite the increase in supply from the recent “belg” harvest, as heavy rains and floods caused crop losses and disrupted marketing operations in some areas. August prices, compared with their levels of 12 months earlier, were about 15 percent higher in the capital, Addis Ababa, and up to 25 percent higher in the other monitored markets. In Addis Ababa, prices of white sorghum and teff were firm in recent months and in August they were both 20 percent higher than one year earlier. By contrast, prices of wheat, partly imported, have been decreasing by 18‑20 percent over the past 12 months, as the upward pressure on prices exerted by tight domestic availabilities was offset by sustained imports and declining international prices.
Prices of other food products are also higher than 12 months earlier. In August 2016, the year‑on‑year rate of inflation was 10‑12 percent for meat, milk, cheese and eggs, and fruits. At regional level, the highest rates of food inflation were recorded in Afar (12.7 percent) and Tigray (17 percent) regions, due to the upward pressure exerted on prices by the lingering effects of the 2015 drought.
Food insecurity levels remain high in drought‑affected regions
As a result of the impact of the 2015 drought on last year’s “belg” and “meher” crop productions as well as on grazing resources in northern areas of the country, food security conditions have sharply deteriorated since mid‑2015, with the estimated number of food insecure people increasing from 4.5 million in August to 10.2 million during the first semester of 2016. According to the August 2016 revision of the Humanitarian Requirements Document, following the start of the “belg” harvest, the number of people in need of assistance has been downward revised to 9.7 million. At the same time, the number of priority woredas slightly decreased from 429 to 420. Most food insecure people are still concentrated in eastern areas of Oromia, Amhara and Tigray regions as well as in Afar and northern Somali regions.
Overall food security conditions will improve by October as “meher” crops start to be available for local consumption. However, the situation is not expected to change for most agro‑pastoral households in southern and southeastern areas. Here, “deyr” (October-December) rains are forecast to be below average due to the likely occurrence of La Niña, with negative consequences on pasture availability and livestock body conditions.
Currently, Ethiopia is the largest refugee‑hosting country in Africa, with about 738 000 refugees and asylum seekers, mainly from South Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea and the Sudan. Financial constraints have seriously limited the level of humanitarian assistance so far and the environmental degradation in camps, the fragile ecosystem and the scarcity of resources have led to tensions between host communities and refugees in some locations.

SACRAMENTO — California families with low to moderate incomes no longer have to be a first-time home buyer to take advantage of a California Housing Finance Agency financing, the agency announced Tuesday.
“CalHFA’s mortgage loans will now provide more low to moderate income families across the state with affordable opportunities to purchase homes with fixed-rate mortgages and down payment assistance programs,” said CalHFA Executive Director Claudia Cappio.
It’s part of an effort to increase home ownership in California. The state’s homeownership rate is about 54.5 percent as of the end of the first quarter of this year, according to U.S. Census estimates. That’s 10 percentage points below the national homeownership rate. Before the recession, it was 60 percent.
According to CalHFA, the lending programs provide unique opportunities for families to purchase homes, including:
- Offering a first mortgage for 97 percent of the value of the home, combined with a 3 percent built-in down payment second.
- Access to no interest and low-interest down payment assistance loans that don’t have to be repaid until the home is sold, refinanced or the mortgage is paid off.
- Combining with other CalHFA programs, including an energy efficiency grant for energy upgrades and federal tax credits that can reduce potential federal income tax liability.
All CalHFA lending programs require homebuyer education for future homeowners. Borrowers must also meet income and sales price limits that vary by county.

There With You: Support group launches to help self-isolator in Clevedon, Tickenham and Kenn
PUBLISHED: 07:00 01 April 2020 | UPDATED: 12:38 01 April 2020
Clevedon Covid19 Support
A support service has been launched to help vulnerable people self-isolating in Clevedon, Tickenham and Kenn.
Clevedon Covid19 Support aims to deliver essential food items and prescriptions and offer elderly and vulnerable people someone to talk to over the phone during the coronavirus pandemic.
More than 15,000 leaflets have been distributed in town to give people a lifeline and the group is seeking volunteers to ‘adopt a road’ to help the cause.
Lizzie Harvey, team lead at Clevedon Covid19 Support, said: “The group was started by Mim Cartwright around a week ago, and we created the website not long after.
“They are around 360 volunteers signed up, and, so far, people have distributed 15,000 leaflets to different roads in Clevedon.
“People in need can get in touch through the website, and we put people in contact with volunteers in their roads who can help them.
“We’re also working with Clevedon Town Council and North Somerset Council to provide a support network for the community.”
The support group has also set up an interactive map online, so people who are self-isolating can check if their road is covered by volunteers in the area.
Lizzie continued: “So far, we’ve had 32 requests for help and volunteers help with anything from picking up people’s shopping, prescriptions, for a chat and walking their dogs if needed.
“We’re advising people to get in contact with your neighbour, even if it’s just to put a slip through their door with your number on it, so people feel like they’re not alone during these challenging times.”
Elvira Piqueras Ricote, founder of Yeolands Drive Area which forms part of Clevedon Covid19 Support, said: “I started delivering leaflets around the area to let people know that there’s help available, as there are a lot of vulnerable people who may need help in Clevedon over the coming months. We’ve got around 40 members in our group, and 20 are really active. Personally, I wanted it to feel like the neighbourhood is helping out, and we have a great community in Clevedon.”
To sign up as a volunteer and to check which roads are covered in your area, visit www.clevedonmutualaid.co.uk For support, ring 01275 877815 or 01934 427437.
