Politicians who are in detention since Jammu and Kashmir’s special status was scrapped by the central government in August would be released if they agree to sign a bond that they would not engage in any political activity which would lead to any law and order situation, NDTV quoted officials in the Home Ministry as having said.
According to a report published by NDTV, the Ministry of Home Affairs said that some of them have already signed the required bonds and they have been released.
“But still as many as 23 leaders are under detention and process to win them over is still going on,” a senior-level functionary in the government told NDTV, adding some were released as a goodwill gesture too.
The report said according to the official, no decision to release the three former chief ministers – Farooq Abdullah, his son Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti – has been taken yet.
“Both Omar and Mehbooba have refused to sign the bond so far,” NDTV quoted an officer as saying.
The centre recently extended the detention of Farooq Abdullah under the Public Safety Act or PSA by three months. Farooq Abdullah has been under detention since August 5, when the central government announced the end of special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 and split the state into two union territories.
Meanwhile, an increase in infiltration levels in Jammu and Kashmir is keeping the centre on its toes. As many as 114 successful infiltrations have been reported in first 11 months this year.
Last year, though the figure was 143 and in 2017, 136; in 2016 as many as 119 militants had managed to sneak from across the border.
“The worry is that there are so many boots on the ground all along the International Border and the Line of Control but still infiltration is not stopping,” explains an officer.
However, due to continuous lockdown in the Valley, the number of stone-pelting incidents came down.
In 2018, as many as 802 incidents of stone-pelting were reported. This year, till December 8, 544 incidents were reported out of which only 190 have been reported after August 5, NDTV reported.

MT. CHARLESTON, Nev. -- The monsoon season started off with a bang and the chance of storms and flash flooding will be hanging over our heads for weeks.
The burn area from last year's Carpenter 1 wildfire has changed the landscape on Mt. Charleston.
People living in the Rainbow Subdivision of Mt. Charleston say they've been watching the weather, waiting for the rain to fall in the wrong place and cause another life-threatening flood.
Many of them are aware a diversion barrier could have already been built to protect their cabins, but Clark County put a stop to the project.
Becky Grismanauskas barely had time to make it up the stairs to her deck before recording video of the flash flood. The water ripped through the community just weeks after the Carpenter 1 fire.
“Unbelievable to me, I’d never seen anything like that,” Grismanauskas, who is a Mt. Charleston Town Board member, said.
The burned area did nothing to soak up monsoon rainfall. There was no vegetation to hold it back.
Grismanauskas knew she would not have survived, if she was caught in it.
“You could see the power of what that water did, with the little bit of water at that time. The whole force of that flood had not hit yet,” Grismanauskas said.
Soil experts determined flooding would be an ongoing problem in that area for years. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers designed a 12,000-foot structure to divert water and debris away from the Rainbow Subdivision.
However, for months that project has been on hold.
“Somebody needs to do this now, somebody needs to get on this now, not next year when it's too late,” Grismanauskas said.
Clark County spokesman Erik Pappa says despite the barrier being federally funded, the county won't accept responsibility for it. The county would have to assume ownership after it is built.
“They want to design it and build it. It's not even on county land. It is on federal land. I think we can all agree the project is necessary. It just would be an unfair burden for county tax payers to accept all the liability,” Pappa said.
Grismanauskas says they were lucky no one was killed last September.
“Why they would want death and destruction? That doesn't make sense,” She said.
She says their luck could run out this monsoon season.
Clark County spokesman Erik Pappa says the county is still trying to come to an agreement and get the diversion built, but he says it's likely the diversion won't be built before the end of this monsoon season.

Most states, counties, and local governments budget for one year at a time. Nineteen states and a small number of localities adopt biennial budgets. In these cases, a two-year budget will be approved during one legislative session and relatively minor adjustments may be made the following year.
The OMB is an executive branch department that prepares the President's budget proposal to Congress. The CBO is a non-partisan agency that serves Congress by providing its own objective analysis of the President's budget proposal. The CBO also estimates the budgetary impact of other legislation that comes before Congress.
The budget is a forward-looking plan that specifies what a government intends to do during a fiscal year, how much it will cost, and how it will be funded. A financial audit reports on financial activity that has already taken place and assesses whether that activity is in compliance with all rules and procedures.

Fig. The three data sets used in the present study. We tested if the magnitude of intraspecific variability of co-occurring species was lower than interspecific variability for a given trait by combining different approaches commonly used in functional ecology - i.e., experimental data, field observations and extraction of data from a global database. We found that interspecific variability was greater than intraspecific variability and species ranking was conserved across different datasets and spatial scales.

First of all there is a $5.00 "reservation charge" to make the reservation on top of the nightly fee. I reserved for two units and had to pay $5.00 for each unit. There is also a $2.00 per day fee for the Wi-Fi. Also there is a charge per day of $5.00 per pet. It was an okay campground. It was rainy and soggy. Our "pull through" was on grass. Washer and dryers are mega expensive. I don't think we would park here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed for 2 nights. Beautiful weather and close access to the golf course and driving range. The golf course is nice, challenging and walkable. The driving range has grass tees which I liked. But, the RV park (this is not a resort) is all gravel, the spots are small and it is right next to a major highway so you get road noise all day and night. Lots of mosquitoes! It's a shame they didn't do a better job designing this park as it is only a few years old. Looks like they were just interested in squeezing in as many RV spots as possible. Lots of monthly renters here also. The photos on their website are misleading. The WiFi works, on and off. I would not stay here again, there are better parks in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
THE GOOD: The park is very new and the main building (which houses the office, laundry room, bathrooms/showers, and a B&B upstairs) is very nice. They keep the bathrooms/showers reasonably clean and all of the machines in the laundry room are very new. They offer free Wi-Fi that has good signal coverage throughout the park and is usually quite fast. The RV park is associated with, and right next door to, the Royalwood Golf course, so if you're a golfer, you can't beat the convenience. The sites are reasonably sized, with bushes planted to try and create some privacy. THE BAD: There's little to no pavement, so the park is mostly a large gravel lot. In the dry summer months, it gets pretty dusty. The park is also right along TransCanada 1, so it can be a little noisy in the sites near the front of the park. Although the sites are reasonably sized, there are areas of the park where there isn't enough space between opposing rows of sites. So maneuvering a large motorhome/5th wheel into some spaces can be a challenge if there are too many other large vehicles in the same area. While they have attempted to create privacy with plantings, they only do it between every other site. So there's SOME privacy on one side of your space, but none on the other. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stick Season Summer Tour '23
Stick Season Summer Tour '23
Noah Kahan has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket goes towards organizations delivering mental health treatment and access to care.
Seasons change. Places change. People change. As Noah Kahan changes, he casts those experiences onto songs like light through a film projector. The Vermont singer pens songs straight from the heart and cracks jokes with his signature, self-deprecating sense of humor; he’s just changed in all of the right ways (and chronicled them via his songwriting). After 5 years of critical acclaim, global touring, and numerous collaborations, Kahan sought an even purer style of writing and arrangement, a challenge from within to convey a vivid representation of what he loves, fears, and struggles with most passionately. Through his journey from small town Vermont to global renown, he’s racked up over one billion streams, released two full length albums (Busyhead, 2019 and I Was / I Am, 2021) and a mid-pandemic EP (Cape Elizabeth, 2020). Noah has remained prolific in 2022 with his single “Stick Season.” Rife with fluttering guitar melodies, inviting vocals, and homey imagery of the Northeast on the verge of a change of seasons, the track represents another massive turning point for him. “I wrote ‘Stick Season’ without knowing it would become, in my opinion, the most important song of my career,” he muses. “It allowed me to finally cross over into the style of songwriting that I have loved my entire life, and the second I finished writing it, I felt a level of comfort and honesty that I had never previously felt since I began my journey in music. Being able to tell a story, and being able to relate it back to my home in New England in such an honest way, made me believe in myself again.” Fans reacted immediately and after performing the song live on social media, his followers relentlessly commenting about releasing the song. Noah tested “Stick Season” live on tour to a rousing response, and a fan’s video of the moment circulated quickly online. In an instant, Kahan’s relationship with his career was altered, his conviction for storytelling and a pursuit of a more organic sound that aligned with the folk music of his upbringing had firmly arrived. “Stick Season” paints one of his most arresting lyrical pictures yet, likening “feeling left behind and trapped” into the decomposition of leaves on the ground with a disarmingly unfiltered final visual, “Now you’re tire tracks, and one pair of shoes, and I’m split in half, but that’ll have to do.” “It’s about seeing the other side of a place you thought was only beautiful,” he reveals. “As a relationship ends, some place or someone you used to look back at so fondly quickly transforms into a memory of pain. The beauty of autumn foliage in Vermont transforms into a brown and gray wasteland as we wait for the first snow. It is an unfortunate but necessary transition, similar in so many ways to the transition from familiar lovers into heartbroken strangers. I like to look at the song as hopeful; winter will come, the snow will fall, melt, and eventually summer will be back in all its beauty. You will suffer, move on, and survive again. The last line speaks to the acknowledgement of the end: an inventory of the pieces left behind and an acceptance of the future.” For as much as he may have changed, Noah’s goal stays the same. “I still want to be able to connect to folks in the way I do and value when I listen to music,” he leaves off. “Change is something you can learn from. It’s never too late to be a better person and to move forward. Always work on yourself and give yourself a fucking break every once in a while. I hope listeners feel like there’s more to learn about me, just like I do when I listen to my favorite artists. I also hope they’re happy to stay along for the ride, because I’ve been so grateful for them so far.

Short term predictions of oceanic drift
Short term predictions of oceanic drift are important in time critical operations, for example for oil spill mitigation and search-and-rescue support. The transient upper ocean response to atmospheric forcing needs to be correctly modeled, and the role of wave-mean flow interactions are particularly important. Since many objects of interest are in the wave zone, a better understanding of the details of the dynamics at the air-sea interface is needed. A clear separation of the forcing on such objects due to wind, waves and ocean currents is needed in drift models, both to reduce the dependence on empirical formulae and to make better use of drift data collected in field experiments.

It seems as though there is a competition between states of who can legislate the most extreme violations on women’s health. Texas jumped to the top of that disturbing list last week, as legislators called a special session just to attempt to push a sweeping anti-abortion bill that would have blocked most of Texas from access to safe and legal abortion care into law.People in the Lone Star State didn’t take this assault on women’s health quietly. Thousands of women and men gathered to protest the package of bills that would block women from getting the health care they need. Inside the Texas Legislature, courageous Senator Wendy Davis launched a 13 straight hour filibuster that led to the bill failing to gain final approval that night.
Today, women and men are demanding justice for all women in Texas, as Governor Rick Perry called a second special session of the Legislature to pass abortion restrictions.
Politicians around the country remain focused on banning abortion and attacking reproductive health care. Across the country, we must stand together against bills that set extremist precedent for other states to imitate. Texas’s situation is a serious and atrocious assault against women that demands action from all supporters of women’s full access to health care.
Abortion is a complicated issue, but the facts are simple: limiting access to safe abortions does not decrease the number of abortions performed, it just forces women to seek medical care that may be dangerous or illegal. Legislation that attacks women’s health and safety must be stopped immediately. That's why the NHCLU has joined other advocates across the country in standing with Texas women in support of women's health.

What is TICKit?
TICKit is a modular solar electric lighting program that provides communities, and households with highly efficient, and safe lighting.
The four (4) main components include:
1. The Lighthouse x1 (Per Community)
A power station for charging devices, equipped with charging ports to allow for charging the PowerCase, PowerLamp, Halo, and accessories. This station will be constantly manned by community personnel for maintenance and assistance to locals.
2. PowerCase x1 (Per Community)
A lightweight, easy-to-use solar electric system includes a 12V, 20Ah lithium ferrous phosphate battery, two high-efficiency LED lamps for bright lighting, two USB ports for charging LED lamps, and two expansion ports to allow for optional accessories or additional lights. A custom display and user interface make operation simple. The system has a minimum capacity of 240 watt-hours of energy storage, enough to run two lights on high for 24 hours, or on low for 120 hours.
3. PowerLamp x1 (Per Household)
This lamp is a mobile array of high-intensity LEDs, 60 watt-hours of energy storage, enough to run on high for 12 hours, or on low for 30 hours. This device is great for lighting an entire room, or open spaces.
4. Halo x2 (Per Household)
This headlight houses a row of low powered LEDs. This device is great for personal use, reading, and simple tasks around the house or while doing chores in dark places.
NOTE: If an LED pixel at its brightest consumes 60mA, and the stated battery capacity is 2100 mAh, we could expect to run one pixel for about 35 hours continuously before the battery peters out (2100 mAh ÷ 60 mA = 35 hours). But single pixels are seldom left on at full brightness for hours. A typical LED uses about 20mA.

UPDATE, October 17, 2019: This story has been updated to include additional information about the books themselves from Christian Legal Centre.
NORTH LONDON, October 16, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Alperton Community School in North London suspended an education official for raising questions about parental rights in response to a proposed reading list for “LGBTQ+ Pride Month.”
During a Curriculum and Standards meeting that took place in May, Maureen Griffith, who has served as a governor (an office similar to a school board member) for decades, expressed concern that “parents had not been consulted” about the upcoming introduction of several “gender-specific reading lists,” including one for “LGBTQ+ Pride Month.” She told her colleagues that religious parents in particular would “not want their children to have this form of sex education,” CBN News reported. “As a parent myself, I would not have wanted my sons to be reading LGBT books or to be involved in an LGBT Pride month,” she said.
Christian Legal Centre (CLC), which is representing her, informed LifeSiteNews that among the books listed on the materials provided to school governors were What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera (about “two very different boys who can't decide if the universe is pushing them together or pulling them apart”) and The 57 Bus by Dashka Slater (a true story of “recovery, reconciliation, forgiveness and, above all, hope” after an impoverished teenager lights a sleeping “agender” teen on fire).
That provoked disgust from her colleagues, and 11 days later Griffith received a letter notifying her that she was suspended “breaching the Governors Code of Conduct” by making “homophobic comments at a public meeting that were offensive to members of staff.”
“It is my job to notice things that others do not,” Griffith defended herself in a statement. “In meetings where someone may want to push something through, I scrutinize, and this leads to discussion, debate and finding consensus on the right way to move forward. When they told me I had been ‘homophobic’ for scrutinizing the introduction of LGBT Pride Month, I had to go home and look up what it meant. I couldn’t believe it.
“But now with this LGBT agenda, not just in schools, but across society, there is no debate, no questioning, and there is only a one-way democracy,” she lamented.
Griffith took her case to CLC, which detailed the current state of the case this week in a press release. She wrote back to the school, requesting that the school reconsider its decision. CLC says Griffith was promised a “speedy conclusion” at a July 3 meeting but has heard nothing in the subsequent months.
“What has taken place at this school is a microcosm of what is happening across our society and sends a clear message to teachers, governors and students: If you oppose the LGBT agenda, you will be silenced and punished,” CLC chief executive Andrea Williams said. “Such censor for merely questioning whether books with LGBT themes are appropriate for school libraries, and asking whether parents had been properly consulted, cannot go unchallenged. We call on the school to reinstate Mrs. Griffith and issue a full apology.”
Christianity Today reported that Alperton Community School would not comment on the specifics of the case. But it claimed to follow the “National Governance Association Governors Code of Conduct, and that where complaints are raised in respect of Governors, the School would always consider whether an impartial and independent investigation is necessary.” The school insisted that its “policies and resources are regularly reviewed and are wholly appropriate for the School community.”
In the meantime, Griffith says she’s relying on her faith to sustain her. “My faith in Jesus is very important to me in good and bad times – it is my be all and end all,” she said. “I can do nothing without His help, and He makes my burden lighter.”

HOUSTON — An alleged drunken driver crashed into two Houston police vehicles while officers were directing traffic caused by an accident involving an 18-wheeler early Wednesday on the 610 North Loop.
Houston police responded around 2:15 a.m. to an accident on the freeway near N. Shepherd Drive.
The police department said four responding officers created a barricade with flashing lights using their patrol vehicles.
The victims were working from inside their respective police SUVs while the other officers were away diverting drivers to the feeder roads. That’s when police said the suspect’s car broke through the vehicle barricade, hitting the two officers.
The officers were taken to the hospital as a precaution but were discharged shortly afterwards and returned to the police station.
The suspected drunken driver was taken into custody and is expected to face DWI charges.
“When you have the ice and you have an extremely intoxicated suspect– it’s extremely dangerous,” HPD Sgt. Robert Klementich said.
The following images were taken at the scene:

Not long after the Fort Morgan downtown infrastructure improvement project wraps up around Sept. 1, the city plans to turn its attention to another area that’s in need of some tender loving care.
The Rainbow Bridge enhancement project is next on a list of city improvement and enhancement projects that seems to grow longer every day.
This work will dress up the access to the historic bridge with walkways and landscaping — where now there is only dirt and no real defined route to follow for a stroll out on the storied span — and also rebuild the adjacent north entrance to Riverside Park, which may be in even more dire need of attention.
The city is right now in the thick of the annual process of building the city budget for next year. And in his written report to the Fort Morgan City Council for tomorrow night’s meeting, City Manager Pat
Merrill notes that in the creation of the 2010 budget “we have increased the funding for capital improvement projects significantly. This includes storm drains, water & sewer lines, streets, sidewalk, curb & gutter and needed improvements at the water & wastewater facilities.”
This all sounds wonderful, of course. But if you’re wondering where the money is going to come from to do all this, well … frankly, so are we.
The city does have many areas that need fixing or at least sprucing up, but it can’t all be done at once, or even in a single budget year. Not even close.
So Merrill is also working on a long-range capital improvement plan, which identifies these infrastructure needs and gets them down on paper. It’s a five-year, rolling wish list, and you work your way through it as the budget permits. You’re always looking five years ahead, prioritizing and reprioritizing and adding and deleting.
And here’s a simple truth: if you don’t get it down on paper, it never happens.
Leverage is another tool, which the city appears to be using effectively on the Rainbow Bridge job. With grants from the Colorado Department of Transportation and federal stimulus money, the city will only have to kick in $35,000 for the total project budget of $350,000.
City sales tax revenues are a big unknown right now, and how they fare over the next year or so will determine whether the five-year capital plan is a realistic goal or pie in the sky. While downtown tax revenues have suffered from both the recession and the construction work, remarkably, overall city sales tax collections were up over 2008 through May.
The city is also exploring potential cost savings through increased energy efficiency.
Oh, and here’s an idea: maybe the city could save some money — maybe a lot — by taking a close look at each city department, examining who does what, how long it takes them, whether they could possibly be doing more, or doing the same work with fewer people, things like that.
Oh, that’s right. The city council already decided not to do that.
Our guess is that they will do it next year, and when they see the kind of money it will save — and free up for these infrastructure needs — they’ll wish they’d done it sooner.

The disciples were in the room with Jesus, and one immediately read discouragement and confusion on their faces. The reason for this was not farfetched. Jesus told them that one of them was going to betray him. We can only imagine how shocked that news made them feel, and how they exchanged surprising looks wondering why.
Jesus didn’t waste time, he mentioned names. He told them that Peter, the same Peter, the one who loved him so much, would deny him not just once, but three times, and that made the atmosphere even more tense. How is that even possible? Because for the fellow disciples, Peter, along with James and john, came across as the confidence of Jesus, his smaller circle. When Jesus went to pray, he took these three instead of all of them, and they were the three that experienced the amazing event of the transfiguration.
After telling the disciples this news, he finally broke the news of his departure to them. His time was drawing nigh. For the disciples, this period of time wasn’t a good time, bad news.
However, the wonderful thing about Jesus is, that he is a God that restores, and a God of comfort. After giving them this news, he told them, he wouldn’t leave them comfortless, he was going to send the Holy Spirit.
John 14, verses 16 to 18: “And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you forever”. Even the spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither notice him. But ye know him, for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.
I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you. We spoke a little while ago about the things that happen to you, when the Holy Spirit comes into your life. However, for a Christian, it does not end there. Once the Holy Spirit comes and dwells in you, he just doesn’t stay unnoticed, he changes you from within.
A change must take place. What it simply means is that the Spirit of the living God is now in you. Galatians two verse 20 tells us more about the transformed life, and our transition into Christ’s life at confession. Galatians two verse 20: “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. I love the clear cut narrative the new living translation gives to the passage. My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body, by trusting in the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me”.
If you have given your life to Christ, and there is no transformational change in your life, whether subtle or evident, it is high time you questioned who is living in you. Today, we are going to consider some of the habits that demonstrate the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the fact that you have Christ in you. Let us look at Psalm 15 and see what God says about a righteous and upright man: “He who walks up brightly and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart”. The truth about God, is that he is a holy God, whose eyes cannot behold iniquity. He desires us to work upright with him. If we want to work with him, we have to align ourselves with him by being holy. He demands holiness from us.
First habit-walking uprightly
A person with the Holy Spirit begins the process of walking uprightly with God. Now I am not saying the moment you are in dwelt with the Holy Spirit, you have arrived, and everything becomes perfect. It’s not a journey that one sets out on to attain perfection immediately. It’s a continuous journey towards perfection and holiness.
In Philippians, two verse 12, the Word of God admonished believers to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. It is a process that you begin to walk towards perfection. There is a clear progression.
What does it mean to be upright? Being upright is thinking right, walking right, talking right, doing the right things, and walking blamelessly before God with a pure heart. That is one of the habits of a person with the Holy Spirit. Is soul constantly yearns to do the Father’s Will, and do that which pleases Him.
There are no perfections in these areas, but progress and effort are needed to pull through.
Second habit-telling the truth
Have you ever told a lie before, that you are haunted by the truth and became restless? You became restless, you’ve had to tell the truth before you had peace.
If you have ever had that tingling sensation of mild discomfort, it’s the Holy Spirit nudging you forward. The blessing of Holy Spirit is also called the spirit of truth, according to john 16, verse 13.The person who has the Holy Spirit will exhibit truth, which is one major characteristic of the Holy Spirit. If you see someone who has become a perpetual liar, and claims he has the Holy Spirit, then the person is deceiving himself.
The Holy Spirit and lies are akin to light and darkness. Nobody begs darkness to leave at the sight of light. Immediately, there’s light, it evaporates. The Spirit of God teaches us the truth of the Scriptures, and makes us hold on to that which is the revelation knowledge, the will of the Father.
Even if you were in a position where telling a lie is the best thing to do, for you to get out of an awkward situation, you still won’t do it, not necessarily because of you, but because of the Spirit of truth that abides in you.
Those in whom the Spirit dwells will live a life of integrity, honesty, and uprightness, they will seek to tell the truth in whatever situation they are in.
Third habit-living by faith
The fruit of the Spirit, is the evidence that someone has the Holy Spirit. But today, we are going to focus on faith. A habit of someone who is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, is that they live their life by faith.
A person who is indwelt by the Holy Spirit stands by faith, when the winds begin to blow, and the storms of life begin to rage. They stand by faith and not by sight. But not only do they stand by faith, the Bible tells us they walk by faith.
You cannot get away from this reality. A person who is indwelt by the Holy Spirit is activated to live a life of faith. The word spirit here in this verse is written with a lowercase s. In other words, what Paul is saying here, is we having the same viewpoint of faith, the same outlook of faith, Paul is saying that irrespective of all the things I have been through, God deposited within me a spirit of faith and outlook and an attitude of faith. Held through everything it had, including the kitchen sink at me, but because of the spirit of faith, I didn’t give up, and I kept going on.
I personally believe that although in this verse, it is a lowercase s, denoting and indicating the human spirit, we could translate this with a capital S, which would make it the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is acting and working on our spirits, to give us an attitude of faith and a spirit of faith so that we can live a victorious life and not a defeated one. Faith is the foundation of all believers. Faith is the conduit by which we are saved. Faith is the avenue by which we actually receive the Holy Spirit.
The Bible tells us that, it is by faith that you please God according to Hebrews 11, verse six. But without faith, it is impossible to please Him.
A habit of someone who is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, is that they live their life by faith. So can we grow our faith, so that we can live a life of faith? Yes, we can. How? Romans 10, verse 17: “So then Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God”. The word of God is made alive by the Holy Spirit, and when you begin to read the word of God, your faith begins to grow, and the confidence that the Holy Spirit gives you is not that that can only be used in church, but you will have faith that you can apply in the real world. The Holy Spirit gives us the attitude of faith.

For females, lack could be energy
T he most powerful governmental action for females might be inaction. It’s an >Lysistrata, a play printed in the year 411 B.C.E., for which ladies stage a intercourse attack to force males to end the Peloponnesian War.
The play has encouraged anything from novels to musicals to a bout of M*A*S*H*. Of late, it had been retold by filmmaker Spike Lee within the 2015 movie Chi-Raq. In their variation, black colored ladies in Chicago withhold sex so that you can stress their guys to place straight down their weapons.
The play can be summoned as one example of the tract that is political. But as the recommendation it proffers is unquestionably serious, Lysistrata itself is just a bawdy comedy — the one that feels shockingly modern, and shows that some themes are really timeless.
The Lysistrata that is original begins the name character calling a diverse conference of females to talk about the bloody Peloponnesian War, and just how they may stop it. “Hand in hand we’ll rescue Greece,” she informs her friend Calonice.
After the women can be collected, Lysistrata tells them they ought to withhold sex from their guys, plus in time, the guys will lay out arms. “We must try to avoid every level of love… ” she informs the incredulous set up. She goes further, lamenting that russian bride ru perhaps the guys who can come and get from battle are of little used to their females, specially sexually. They reveal “not the slightest glitter of the enthusiast!” she complains, arguing that since war broke away, “I’ve not seen / The image of an individual upright man / To be always a marble consolation to us.” The war would cease and men would return if only women withheld their affections.
The ladies, nevertheless, are not convinced. “Let the war proceed,” two of these remark, deadpan. Most likely, intercourse is amongst the their pleasures that are only. Calonice, stunned by her friend’s proposition, replies, “O bid me personally walk in fire / But don’t rob us of the darling joy.” Though Lysistrata concedes that intercourse is very important — “our whole life’s however a heap of kisses and infants,she also makes a strong case that denying men carnal delight will bring peace” she says. Imagine if the husbands force them to anyway have sex? one girl asks. “Yield then,” Lysistrata advises, “but with a slow, cool indifference. There is absolutely no joy to men in sullen mating.”
Sooner or later, the ladies consent to the master plan. Over wine, they swear to uphold it by saying the following lines:
To spouse or enthusiast I’ll perhaps perhaps perhaps not arms that are open
Though denial and love may expand their charms
But nevertheless in the home, ignoring him, I’ll stay
Beautiful, clad in saffron silks every day
If he then seizes me personally by dint of force
I’ll give him basis for a long remorse.
I’ll never lie and stare up during the roof,
Nor such as a lion on all fours get kneeling.
Then bounteous cups be mine if i keep faith.
This wine if not, to nauseous water change.
T he battle regarding the sexes should indeed be a raucous fight in Lysistrata. There’s two choruses within the play, one made up of old males and another of old ladies. Soon after Lysistrata’s gathering, the 2 choruses face off during the gate regarding the Acropolis, that the females have actually seized. Here, the men make an effort to set a fire, that your females quickly douse—the symbolism is unmissable.
“We scare you, do we?” ask the women. The guys threaten to beat them: “O hit them hard and hit once more and strike it! until they hightail it, as well as perhaps they’ll learn … not to ever have a great deal to state.” “Come on, then — do” the women cry. “I won’t budge, but like your pet dog I’ll bite / At every small scrap of meat that dangles during my sight.” The guys call the ladies dirty sluts, and state things such as “Woman is considered the most beast that is shameless of the beasts that be.”
Whenever a magistrate comes and tries to become involved, purchasing two guys to “lay arms on Lysistrata and end it,” her fellow ladies participate in a show that is rowdy of. “If your hand touches her, I’ll distribute you away and trample on the guts,” says Calonice. “If your hand techniques out her means, You’d better have doctor someplace handy,” Myrrhine chimes in. “One inch nearer my fingers,” warns Stratyllis, “and it is a man that is bald be yelling.”
Lysistrata then continues on to explain towards the magistrate the plight for the ladies. She defines frustration that is women’s being anticipated to pay attention supportively with their husbands’ endless talk of war and politics, yet not welcome to supply an impression. She speaks of “unassuming” spouses, “forgotten in quiet,” who are known as upon to stay by and watch as males destroy their world. “How wretchedly everything still was progressing,” she says, “by paying attention dumbly your day very long to you.”
It’s time for females to dominate.
The reality is that the women almost lose their cool in spite of soaring rhetoric before the magistrate. They lie to Lysistrata and attempt to wrangle out from the deal. “You wicked ladies, stop from juggling lies,” she tells them. “You want your males. But exactly what of those aswell? They toss as sleepless within the lonely evening, I’m certain of it. Wait awhile, hold out.”
The ladies do hold on, and also the play comes with an, ahem, delighted ending. Eventually the Athenian and Spartan soldiers gather for comfort speaks. Lysistrata brings to your speaks a lovely young handmaid, accordingly called Reconciliation, and even though the men look upon her in ever greater discomfort, Lysistrata reproaches them for warring. “I would like to remove at the same time and plough my land,” say the Athenians. “And mine I would like to fertilize at as soon as,” the Spartans consent. Squirming, they assent to comfort, saying “We’ve increased as you guy to the summary.”
Lysistrata, pleased by the triumph, invites the guys to organize for a dinner. “There at table / you may pledge good behavior and uprightness,” she says, “Then each man’s spouse is their to hustle home.”

The History You Never Heard Lecture at Nashua, NH.
October 26, 2021, 7:00-9:00 pm
Nashua Public Library, Nashua, NH
The History You Never Heard’ is a Walden Korea long-term project informing the American public of the truth of the 1948 Jeju 4.3 Uprising and Massacre in South Korea and the horrors of state violence. The project consists of seminars and academic programs held across the United States as well as publications, raising awareness on state crimes and the importance of truth, justice, and reconciliation.
The massacre of more than 30,000 civilians on Jeju Island started in April 1948, while South Korea was governed by the United States Army Military Government in Korea (USAMGIK). The U.S. had operational control of South Korea’s armed forces at this time. Historical records show U.S. intervention in quelling the uprising. But few Americans know of this dark history. We call on the United States to release more classified documents and cooperate on further fact-finding efforts. The truth needs to be told. Nation states at times make egregious mistakes, and the United States is no exception. The mistakes made by the U.S. in Korea over 70 years ago still cast a long shadow on the politics of the Korean peninsula today.
Meet our Truth Storyteller
Att. Dennis Hogan
Our first Truth Storyteller is Atty. Dennis Hogan. He has lived in Nashua, New Hampshire all his life.
Mr. Hogan became interested in the April 3rd Jeju Uprising and the Massacre after watching our international Forum. He who loves history wants to tell the truth of April 3rd Jeju Uprising and the Massacre to the American public. So he became our True Storyteller. In this short video, he shows his interest his in the April 3rd Jeju Uprising and the Massacre and introduces the Nasha region. Become a True Storyteller. Share your neighbor the the horrors of victims of state violence and a message of humanism.

Solar flare expected to hit Earth
SPACE weather experts have their eye on a mysterious solar flare.
The flare is said to be a coronal mass ejection that erupted from the Sun on June 26.
It's a huge expulsion of plasma from the Sun's outer layer, called the corona.
Space scientists aren't sure whether the solar flare will hit Earth but predict
The experts at SpaceWeather.com explained: "There is a chance of minor geomagnetic storms
This is a low confidence forecast. A confusing mishmash of overlapping CMEs left the sun in recent days

Dieta e dispersão de sementes por lycalopex vetulus (LUND, 1842) em áreas de cerrado stricto sensu do município de Chapada Dos Guimarães, Mato Grosso, Brasil
Cisneiro, Aimée Cruz
MetadataShow full item record
With an endemic distribution of the Cerrado, the hoary fox (Lycalopex vetulus) is a small canid considered vulnerable to extinction by the last Brazilian list of threatened mammals. Their diet is based on the consumption of insects and a considerable portion of fruits and small vertebrates, which indicates that the hoary fox can act as a seed disperser in this biome. Through the active search and field collection of fecal samples of L. vetulus, these samples were selected and analyzed, enabling the identification of the food items consumed, besides their frequency of occurrence and biomass. Invertebrates (66%) and wild fruits (65%) composed most of the diet, and small vertebrates (24%) were uncommon. A high frequency of termites (Isoptera; present in 60% of the feces) showed that this item represents great importance in the species' diet. For dispersion analyzes, were performed germination and viability tests on the seeds found in the feces, which pointed out that most of the tested species have a viability rate greater than 50%, while only five species germinated. The diet of the hoary fox was similar in composition to a study carried out in the same area 20 years ago. Moreover, L. vetulus could be considered a potential seed disperser since most of the plant species propagules found in their feces proved to be viable even after passing through their digestive tract.

Last month, Black Panther became the first superhero to film to score a best picture nod at the Oscars — one of countless nominations it’s received this awards season. But its soundtrack, featuring the hit Kendrick Lamar and SZA collaboration “All the Stars,” is getting just as much awards-show love. Black Panther: The Album is up for album of the year at the Grammys, while “All the Stars” was nominated for best original song at last month’s Golden Globes and is now up for four Grammys (including record of the year and song of the year) as well as an Academy Award for best original song.
Not bad for a song that, according to co-writer and co-producer Al Shux, began as kind of a mess.
“I started working on [“All The Stars”] on my own and was just experimenting with weird sounds in my studio, recording everything as I was playing it,” Shux (real name: Alexander Shuckburgh) tells Billboard. “Most of it sounded really terrible, but there were few moments that sounded interesting, so I went through what I had recorded and made a loop out of the noises.”
After settling on a chord progression he liked, Shux gave the preliminary version of the song to co-producer and Lamar’s frequent collaborator Sounwave, who passed the track along to the Pulitzer Prize-winning MC. “[Sounwave] really heard where it could go and he added drums and other sounds when he was with Kendrick,” Shux says. “Later on, he arranged the strings with a violinist too and really took the whole thing to the next level.”
While Shux wasn’t in the studio when Lamar recorded his vocals, Shux has seen him in action before during studio hangouts and calls him “one of the most fearless artists out there.”
“[He’s] really open to ideas from any direction,” Shux says. “It’s inspiring to see someone — who you could say has a lot to lose — still actively [taking] risks and [pushing] himself and what people expect of him in every project he does. As a producer, it makes you want to push yourself, too, and it gives you free reign to try whatever.”
If “All The Stars” is victorious during the Grammys, it’ll be another trophy for Shux’s shelf. The London-bred producer won for best rap song in 2011 for his contributions to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ “Empire State of Mind,” which, like “All the Stars,” started out completely different: The song’s original topline featured sung verses instead of raps until publishing exec “Big Jon” Platt thought it could be a fit for Jay-Z.
“There’s no way that anyone could know how things would pan out to that scale,” Shux says of the song, which eventually hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 in late 2009. “When I heard the finished mix, I was confident that it was a banger. But there’s other things in play as well that transcended [“Empire State Of Mind”] to that level. It’s timing: It came out at a time, literally, where people wanted to have an uplifting song, and it was okay to be patriotic.”
While he has a penchant for creating hip-hop hits, Shux has worked with artists across all different genres. Outside of some of rap’s heavyweights, he’s produced and written for Lana Del Rey (“This Is What Makes Us Girls,” “Young And Beautiful”), soulful singer-songwriter Paloma Faith (“Freedom”), R&B tastemaker Kelela (“Take Me Apart”) and electro-pop newcomer L Devine (“Can’t Be You”).
“I try to get into the world of the artist without trying to push them into my world,” he explains. “I try and approach every session without too many preconceived notions of what we should do [with the music], and try and just get into the head of the artist, and try and approach it without personal egos.”
That approach certainly worked for “All the Stars,” whose success Shux is still wrapping his head around. “I never planned on this song being nominated for an Oscar when writing it,” he says. “It’s all a bonus, and it’s really exciting to be in the mix… It’s hard to predict how you’re gonna act when something that great happens. At the end of the day, my favorite part of the process is creating stuff. Even though it’s nice to get awards, that’s not my motivation.”
While Shux isn’t sure yet how he’ll spend Oscar night, he says he’s grateful to be apart of the “Black Panther phenomenon” by contributing to a movie whose success highlights the importance of representation of minorities in popular media.
“It’s really cool to witness how big the film became,” he says. “I personally loved the film. How it reached such a wide audience and generated so much money is great, because there is still not enough diversity in Hollywood. [Director] Ryan Coogler did an amazing job, and the fact that the film was so good really helped elevate our song too.”
As for his future projects, Shux won’t reveal whom he’s been in the studio with recently, but he says he’s “always working” — and is always on the lookout for his next great collaboration.
“Obviously there’s great, established artists out there that I’d love to work with, but I’m just as excited to find the new and unknown person, and make them into a future star,” he says. “That’s really exciting to me — watching who the new person is.”

The EU foreign policy chief said the money would be used to buy heavy weapons.
The European Union has announced another 500 million euros ($520 million) package for Ukraine to buy heavy weapons to counter the bloc’s Russia. foreign minister said at the G7 meeting in Germany.
“us [EU] New payments of 500 million euros will be provided to support Ukraine’s military. The total revenue is about 2 billion euros,” Josep Borrell told reporters in Weissenhaus on Germany’s Baltic coast on Friday.
He added that the funds would be used to buy heavy weapons and bring the EU’s total financial support to Ukraine to 2 billion euros ($2.1 billion).
Senior diplomats from Germany, the UK, Canada, France, Italy, Japan and the US will also be in attendance.
They plan to seek more yard methods pressure on Russia Borrell said through economic sanctions, isolating Moscow internationally and combating disinformation spread by Russia.
When we say that Ukraine is fighting for us, it is not empty words.
In other words, the action is as follows: I propose to the Member States a fourth tranche of the European Peace Fund of 500 million euros to further support Ukraine’s defense.@G7https://t.co/GL0HtAi8A0 pic.twitter.com/foE6j0g4Ex
– Josep Borrell Fontelles (@JosepBorrellF) May 13, 2022
EU diplomats are also scheduled to hold talks on Monday over a possible embargo on Russian oil.
Hungary resisted the move because of its heavy reliance on Russian imports, but Borrell expressed optimism about a deal.
Hungary believes the ban will damage its economy and will only agree to any sanctions if it imports crude from Russia via pipeline exempted from sanctions.
“I believe we’ll get a deal — we need this deal, and we’ll get it. Because we have to get rid of Russia’s oil dependence,” Borrell said.
“If there is no agreement at the ambassadorial level, when ministers meet at the Foreign Affairs Committee on Monday, they have to provide political momentum. I will be very mindful of that.”
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleba and neighboring Moldovan Foreign Minister Niku Popescu were invited to attend the meeting as guests.
France, meanwhile, said the G7 was committed to helping Ukraine win the war against Russia.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the G7 countries were “very firmly united” to “continue to support Ukraine’s struggle for sovereignty over a long period of time until Ukraine wins”.
British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said it was “very important” to continue the pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin by supplying Ukraine with more arms and increased sanctions.
“G7 solidarity is crucial in this crisis,” she added.
Around 3,500 police officers were deployed to provide security at the event site northeast of Hamburg.

Join Curator Grant Quertermous for a “private” tour of Tudor Place, an episode of American Artifacts on C-Span’s American History TV. Learn historic highlights of the 1816 home while walking through its rooms, and see artifacts including the rare 1773 letter from George Washington, the bomb shelter, and an autographed picture of Woodrow Wilson.
Tudor Place is the product of all our different pasts. Its artifacts, images, voices, and ghosts—even the all-knowing tulip poplar—carry us back to our own origins as people and as a nation.
Joseph Ellis, Tudor Place: America’s Story Lives Here, Foreword
WASHINGTON, DC – Tudor Place: America’s Story Lives Here, the first full-length book on the Tudor Place estate, collections, and history, has received two prestigious prizes. Deemed “Best Regional Non-Fiction (Mid-Atlantic)” in the Independent Publisher Book Awards, the book was also named top regional title in the Independent Book Publishers Association’s 29th Annual Ben Franklin Awards. Covering the people, collections, architecture, and landscape of the National Historic Landmark, the book was published jointly in fall 2016 by the Tudor Place Foundation and the White House Historical Association. It richly chronicles life on the Georgetown estate that was home to six generations of one family descended from Martha Washington.
“We are proud of the book and pleased to see this recognition from the publishing industry,” said Executive Director Mark Hudson. “A historical study and catalog of the collections, it also makes a beautiful coffee table book and appeals to readers with a variety of interests.” he added. (Hudson said as much in December 2016 to The Washington Post.)
The IBPA awards are one of the highest national honors for independent publishers. The Independent Publishers’ “IPPY” Awards, the world’s largest international and regional book awards competition, recognize exemplary independent, university, and self-published titles. This year’s winners, selected from among 5,000 entries, will be celebrated May 30 during the annual BookExpo convention in New York. “One word to describe this year’s IPPY medal-winning books is vivid,” said awards director Jim Barnes – an adjective that certainly applies to the Tudor Place book’s stunning historic prints and images by photographer Bruce M. White as well as the accompanying essays.
Edited by former Tudor Place Executive Director Leslie L. Buhler, the text includes essays by Architect Emeritus of the U.S. Capitol William C. Allen, landscape historian Patricia Marie O’Donnell, and Buhler and former Tudor Place Curator Erin Kuykendall. The foreword is by historian Joseph J. Ellis. White’s arresting photographs appear alongside historic maps, prints and photographsfrom the Tudor Place and other archives.
Completed in February 2017, Phase One of the Master Preservation Plan’s lighting plan called for restoring historic lighting features across the grounds while installing discreet contemporary lighting for enhanced security and esthetics. Improved illumination at the main entrance, along the walkway to the Visitor Center, and on the path to the Dower House look beautiful in daylight and promote visitor safety at evening events.
With environmental stewardship a key aim of the Tudor Place Master Preservation Plan, sound water management becomes an essential goal. The museum will take a key step in that direction this summer with the expected installation of a cistern to conserve and control stormwater run-off. The project expands on past efforts to improve drainage around the historic house, with benefits extending as far as the Potomac watershed.
A decade ago, a new perimeter drainage system at the main house connected existing downspouts to drains installed in window areas. While this system successfully carried water away from the house, the resulting discharge on the South Lawn led to erosion and runoff. In 2016, an erosion-control intervention on the lawn’s southwest corner (using jute mesh, jute logs and silt fencing) temporarily mitigated the problem, but it’s a stopgap. The long-term solution is to install an underground cistern to capture the rainwater, treat it, and retain it for irrigation. On the rare occasions when runoff exceeds the cistern’s 21,000-gallon capacity, it will discharge through pipes directly into the city’s storm sewer system on 31st Street.
The full system will reduce erosion and runoff while also cutting our consumption of fresh water. We expect the work to happen in late summer 2017.

Showing Collections: 1 - 2 of 2
The Harrison Hayford papers fill seventy-two boxes, spanning the years 1916 to 2002. The bulk of the papers consist of correspondence files, Northwestern University teaching files, Northwestern University student files and, most significantly, the Herman Melville Editing Project files.
Teacher, critic, and parodist Walter B. Scott taught Dramatic Literature in Northwestern's School of Speech (now the School of Communication) from 1939-1976. His Papers document his life, teaching career, and writings. A highlight of the collection is Scott's engagement with a vibrant group of colleagues.


Effects of hypoxia on oxygen consumption, swimming velocity and gut evacuation in southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii)
The effect of feeding on the rate of oxygen consumption (M(O2)) of four groups of three southern bluefin tuna Thunnus maccoyii (SBT) was examined in a large static respirometer at water temperatures of 18.2-20.3 degrees C. Six feeding events of rations between 2.1-8.5% body mass (%M(b)) of Australian sardines (Sardinops neopilchardus) were recorded (two of the groups were fed twice). Before feeding, fish swam between 0.71 and 1.4 body lengths s(-1) (BL s(-1)) and the routine metabolic rate (RMR) was 366+/-32.5 mg kg(-1) h(-1) (mean +/- s.e.m.). For all trials, M(O2) was elevated post feeding, presumably as a result of specific dynamic action (SDA). Swimming velocity was also elevated post feeding for periods similar to that of M(O2) (between 20-45 h, longest for the largest rations). Post feeding swimming velocity increased to between 0.87-2.6 BL s(-1) and was also dependent on ration consumed. It is suggested that the purpose of increased post-feeding swimming velocity was to increase ventilation volume as a response to the enhanced metabolic demand associated with SDA. Peak post-prandial M(O2) increased linearly with ration size to a maximum of 1290 mg kg(-1) h(-1), corresponding to 2.8 times the RMR. When converted to its energy equivalent, total magnitude of SDA was linearly correlated with ration size to a maximum of 192 kJ kg(-1) h(-1), and as a proportion of gross energy ingested (SDA coefficient), it averaged 35+/-2.2%. These results demonstrate that, although the factorial increase of SDA in SBT is similar to that of other fish species, the absolute energetic cost of SDA is much higher. These results support the contention that tuna are energy speculators, gambling high rates of energy expenditure for potentially higher rates of energy returns. The ration that southern bluefin tuna require to equal the combined metabolic costs of SDA and RMR is estimated in this study to be 3.5%M(b) of Australian sardines per day.

Willowtail Springs Nature Preserve and Education Center is located in Mancos, Colorado.
Mancos, CO? Where in the world is Mancos, CO?
We are seven yes seven, hours from Denver. We are 4 ½ hours from Albuquerque, NM and Santa Fe, NM; 90 minutes from Telluride, CO; 45 minutes from the Four Corners Monument; 30 minutes from Durango, CO and 10 minutes from Mesa Verde National Park. For everything that is around us we are, technically, centrally located. Getting here can be an adventure – an adventure well worthwhile.
Mancos is a small town with a population of approximately 1,300, surrounded by ranch land, mountains (La Plata Mountains, San Juan National Forest), desert, ancient Anasazi ruins, and the Ute Mountain Ute and Southern Ute reservations and the Navajo Nation. We are enveloped by a natural beauty that inspires residents and visitors to create, learn and explore.
You could easily drive through Mancos in the blink of an eye, but we encourage you not to do this. It is a sleepy, small town, but there is more going on than you might expect.
Mancos (and Montezuma County) has a thriving food movement which promotes awareness, education, wholesome food and community through the Montezuma Farm to School program, Orchard Restoration Projects, small-scale farms, established family-run farms, two local vineyards, the reemergence of the Mt. Lookout Grange, and local farmer’s markets.
There is a wonderful and diverse art community that is continually growing and evolving. Mancos is a Colorado Creative District Candidate. Colorado Creative District’s purpose, in essence, is to promote growth and sustainability through the arts in communities throughout Colorado, and Mancos is currently working towards its certification.
If you are one for hiking, biking, camping, climbing, rafting, boating, fishing, canoeing, or horseback riding we have it all. One of the benefits of this land being relatively undeveloped is the vast number of mountains, hills, streams and valleys that are available and accessible to enjoy.
We live here, work here play here because we watch bald eagles fly overhead while filling up our gas tank, because we can listen to the wind, see the seasons change and know our neighbors; because this is a common sight on Main Street*…
We live here, work here and play here because there is a strong connection to the land.
We live here, work here and play here because Mancos has soul.
