How do we find God, in spirit? The simple answer is something all seasoned Christ-followers eventually learn, with or without knowing these terms. In most ways, it truly does take years of struggle. It takes self-denial, but not self-focused self-denial. It takes reaching for God, but letting go of all our theories about aspects of the Godly life, aside from God Himself. It takes the loss of everything in one's "walk" that is not God Himself. It takes the loss of all but God Himself.
And here's another way to say all that: it takes the turning of your soul in subjection to your spirit. Your soul is after many things, but your spirit only does one thing. Your spirit engages directly with God. But yes, growing into this spiritual Life takes many years. Witness Jesus for three decades in Nazareth. What was he doing there? Growing. Up into God. As must we.
Hopefully, I'm not giving you a new truth, but simply the proper terms for a familiar experience. God is spirit, so if you have ever truly worshiped Him, then you did so in your spirit. You may have begun with a thought, with a desire, with an emotion, or even by taking some physical action, but if you ever broke through into truly spiritual worship, you were in your spirit. What you had been told you were supposed to call these things does not matter. It is what we are supposed to be doing that matters.
God wants dominion over our souls, but he does not possess us like the fallen spirits possess unregenerate persons. For his own divine reasons, God desires human cooperation. Therefore, our spirit must engage with His Spirit in order to rule over our very self-oriented souls. Hopefully, perhaps gradually, our souls will become more and more transformed by the natural direction of our spirits, into being God-oriented, instead of self-oriented. In one manner of speaking, THAT is the goal of the christian life, and THAT is the function of our human spirit.
I do find it personally helpful to put things in proper terms, in this way. Even if you're twice as seasoned as me in the spiritual life, I hope these terms are helpful to you as well. This may or may not be a "game changing" understanding for you in your christian life, but it was very helpful for me. And I am, hopefully, gradually, becoming more spiritual and less soulish. Praise the Lord.
According to scripture, dear christian, you have a spirit. It is something very different from your soul. From this point on, I hope you enjoy observing that distinction in scripture. Far more importantly, I hope you enjoy exploring the difference in life.
I have met so many christians who try to think, feel and desire their way towards intimacy with God. That can be a fine start, but it should not be the end. Besides, God is already within you. Get past your soul and find your innermost spirit. Your spirit is where He is, because SPIRIT is what he is.
Enjoy being spiritual, you christians out there. You holy, new creatures.
(PS: Unbelievers, if you want in, just ask!)
During the struggle..., do you suppose that we (or the earliest followers) were given 'keys' of any sort...like touch points where heaven and earth meet?
Concrete instruction to help us and benefit us on our way?
If so, what might that have looked like?
Keep up the good work... it's not in vain.
Assuming I understand what you mean, Johnny... Yes and no. I've definitely gotten some good tips from others with more experience, but what's helped me the most has really been time, by which I mean time spent pursuing Him with others as well as the years it takes to un-learn the more soul-controlled and superstitious ways. I miss the Springs, man. No doubt.
I wish I knew what Jesus did in the upper room immediately after breathing on the disciples. It looks like, the next thing you know, he disappears and is gone for a week! That looks an awful lot to me like pushing the birds out of the nest. On the other hand, they'd been with Him in person for 3 years, so he had to leave if they were to get used to Him in spirit.
Look at my June archives for more on the upper room. It's interesting to look through the first half of Acts for the Apostles emphasis on the spirit.
Whatever 'touch points' Paul gave to a new church are probably reflected somewhat in his letters, and it would be interesting to try and reconstruct those 'keys' according to Paul.
Most of us seem to be still groping towards him in dim light. Onward, then...

BOOK REVIEW #46- PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
First published in 1813, "Pride and Prejudice," Jane Austen's witty comedy of manners - one of the most popular novels of all time - tells the story of Mr and Mrs Bennet's five unmarried daughters after the rich and eligible Mr Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr Darcy, have moved into their neighbourhood. "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." So begins the novel, that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues.
BUDDY READ with Chesca. For the namesake, you can call it. But the truth is, we didn't. We both never had time to catch up on the reading. She was way too far from me to cope up. But I managed to do it. YAY! Still we talked A LOT. LOL! And I came to a realization, I suck at buddy reading. FYI, this is my second reading with a buddy.
Anyways, you people know how I struggle to read a classic. Before entering the reading world, this was the first book which I bought. And started reading it immediately, but then I was like,"Well, screw me for buying this." I couldn't understand a single thing. But after a LOOOOONG time, I gave it another chance. And I'm glad I gave it a shot.
And this is my re-read. Boy oh boy, how I enjoyed and devoured it. A short summary can be understood by the first simple sentence.
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
But the book doesn't completely focus on itself alone. It's about making your own decision about your life. Someone couldn't just push you. The way Lizzy stood until the end when Mr.Collins made a marriage proposal. Seriously, I was downright irritated when Mr.Collins pestered her. Can a woman couldn't reject you at the first time? *rolling the eyes* And Mrs.Bennet annoyed me by pushing Lizzy to accept his proposal.
But Mr.Bennet was perfect when he said,"Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr.Collins... and I will never see you again if you do."
He will make me laugh out loud by his comments.
Lizzy, an independent woman. I love her attitude so much. Especially how she managed to shut the nonsense of Lady Catherine de Bourgh. And the bond she is having with her sister Jane was so precious. I loved it so much. The truth is the word Jane came from her mouth more than Mr. Darcy. I don't care about other sisters.
“I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.”
Mr. Darcy *a pleasant dreamy sigh* Do I need to talk about him? I don't know how to form words to explain my adoration of him. He maybe seems like an arrogant pompous man who loves no one but himself. But he is NOT. The love he has for his sister and the concern towards his friend and especially his affection towards Lizzy. Man! He is the best. I needed more chapters about him. Maybe a book, with his perspective? Is that too much to ask? And he likes when a woman extended her mind through reading. And HIS LIBRARY in Pemberley. I love when he was embarrassed. I liked those little awkward moments as well as the arguments between him and Lizzy.
That moment when he said," She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me." I was laughing so hard.
He made my heart melt when he said,"But your family owe me nothing. Much as I respect them, I believe, I thought only of you."
I respected him when he said,"My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject forever."
And he stole my heart when he proposed,"You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."
I can fangirl over him all the day. He is a precious gem that was invented years ago. Jane Austen nailed it long days ago.
So if you haven't read this book, go and read this amazing work piece. If you're not satisfied with my review, then please wait some more days, my buddy Ches will give a detailed review, you can check hers.

This weekend, I visited the beautiful Niagara Gorge – another Wilderness Weekend in Western New York (see previous post for more information on WWWNY).
The Gorge can be accessed by a number of stairways on the American side. Some of the stairways are newer and smoother than others, but they are all steep and slippery in the snow. I chose to descend into the Gorge from Devil’s Hole State Park.
The stairs end at the Great Gorge Railway Trail.
This Trail is the former route of a rail line, which gave scenic tours from 1895 to 1935. Having a railway run along the steep slopes of the ecologically sensitive Niagara Gorge was never the best idea. Fortunately, land slides took out part of the route in September 1935, and it was never repaired.
The highlight of my walk along the rail-to-trail was this wonderful gull gathering:
Most visitors to Niagara Falls do not know about the Gorge Trails, which is really a shame. I tell everyone that I know about them!

Intracranial arterial stenosis (ICAS) is a common cause of ischemic stroke in Asians, whereas whites tend to have more extracranial lesions. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) has been associated with ischemic stroke by a large amount of work. However, there are few studies focusing on the relationship of Lp-PLA2 and asymptomatic ICAS or extracranial arterial stenosis (ECAS). We hereby sought to explore the relationship of Lp-PLA2 and ICAS, ECAS and concurrent stenosis in stroke-free hypertensive patients in Chinese population.Design and Method:
All the subjects were evaluated for the presence and severity of ICAS and ECAS through computerized tomographic angiography (CTA) covered the whole brain down to the level of aortic arch. Lp-PLA2 mass was measured by enzyme linked immunoassay. The association of Lp-PLA2 and vascular stenosis was analyzed through multivariate logistic regression.Results:
Among 414 participants, 163 (39.4%) had no ICAS or ECAS, 63 (15.2%) had ECAS only, 111 (26.8%) had ICAS only and 77 (18.6%) had concurrent extraintracranial stenosis. Lp-PLA2 mass was significantly associated with isolated ICAS (OR: 2.3; 95% CI: 1.14–4.64), and concurrent stenosis (OR: 3.93; 95% CI: 1.62–9.51), but was not related to isolated ECAS (OR: 1.54; 95% CI: 0.68–3.48). Lp-PLA2 mass was also associated with moderate to severe ICAS no matter how was the ECAS. Moreover, patients with higher Lp-PLA2 mass showed more sever ICAS and had more intracranial arterial lesions.Conclusions:
This study revealed the association of Lp-PLA2 mass with ICAS in stroke-free hypertensive patients in Chinese population. The further long-term cohort study was warranted to elucidate the concrete effect of Lp-PLA2 on the asymptomatic ICAS.

What better testament to the power of literature, than Peake’s melancholy Sepulchrave who goes insane and thinks himself an owl, after his beloved library is burned to ashes?!? In the beyond bonkers, elaborate world of The Gormenghast Novels, ritual and tradition govern everything, and Sepulchrave (the 76th Earl of the novels’ universe) finds his only solace in books. In donating this book to the world I hope it will be a refuge and distraction from the monotony of routine for many readers across the planet, as it has been for me…
Gormenghast is a great crumbling mass of stone and grandiose architecture, inhabited by one of the most surreal and extreme sets of characters you are likely to come across in any novel. This is a world I have occupied and adored for many years, reading and rereading the novels since my teens. I invite you join to me there! Let’s be frank, the trilogy is looooooong, but it is the sort of book that you can dip in and out of over time – leave on a bedside table or save for soapy, candle-lit baths. It definitely is NOT a kindle-kinda-book, you’ll want to turn the pages for real with this one! I have a confession to make here: I have never finished the rambling third installment Titus Alone, which even Peake himself faded out on and never fully finished writing. If whoever finds my copy gets to the final page (…that would be page 1023!) then please upload your thoughts on the site and let me know what happens to Titus.
You can see where I left the book in a public place in this picture………..did you find it?
Insider’s tip: The Gormenghast Novels are also excellent read outloud. Peake delights in language (more on this later) with luxuriant and poetic descriptions, but it is chiefly the dialogue that makes it such a joy to read outside your head and to someone else. From obese Chef Swelter’s sweaty, flabby stutter to Doctor Prunesquallor’s manic laughter and affected linguistic flourishes, Peake’s character’s are born through their rich range of theatrical voices. Even the names – Gertrude Countess of Groan, Keda, Sourdust and his son Barquentine – sing on the tongue and express so much.
The driving, destructive force that propels you through the creaking corridors and limitless vistas of the citadel/state of Gormenghast is Steerpike – a machiavellian protagonist and a villain who you may find it hard to hate. We experience the castle’s kitchens, schoolrooms and ancient hierarchies from the ground upwards as Steerpike climbs up the power ladder, manipulating people and situations as he ascends.
We encounter a Countess who prefigures the internet’s cat obsession (she is constantly surrounded by hundreds of feline friends); we witness an embittered grudge between two servants escalate into violence in the twilight; we grimace as a Stockholm-syndrome of sorts takes control of Clara and Cora, the batty identical twins who are bullied into arson; we watch young Titus, the infant Earl, rebel against the castle traditions and we pity Nannie Slagg as she bumbles about in her efforts to protect him. I don’t want to give anything of the eccentric plot away here, but will only say that by the time you reach its bloody climax you’ll be unsure where you stand: with the decaying traditions and crumbling bricks of Gormenghast or its merciless and immoral, young assailant.
To my mind, Peake’s creative majesty makes other universally popular fantasy novels – Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, Game of Thrones – look imaginatively barren and unoriginal. The genius of Gormenghast lies in its proximity to a reality we all know and recognise. Its narrative is a story well-trodden in both art and history. The tale of the low-ranking, socially excluded nobody who rises to take on the dusty establishment. The concerns of the bizarre and otherworldly figures are also not so dissimilar from our own. In base terms the ridiculous Irma Prunesquallor just wants to be loved, Fuchsia is a lonely daydreamer and Flay is the dark horse who you think exists only for the sake of his job, until the plot twists to reveal his true colours. For all its unsettling familiarity, Gormenghast transports us to a totally parallel place, where everything is warped and amplified to take on proportions of the grotesque and insane. Peake describes everything in such fanatically minute detail, that the writing feels like realism and the reader is utterly absorbed in this uncanny, caricature of a universe.
Another reason for my deep and enduring love of this book is Peake’s playful and exuberant use of language. He spends whole passages rambling on about the corridors and towers, like somebody taking their time over a fine meal, adding endless condiments and aperitifs. This is a common trope of the fantasy novel – some wise guy famously parodied Tolkien, writing 20 pages of waffle about a journey up the M1. However, for me, Gormenghast is different. There is nothing dry about the writing, meaning the lengthy, languid descriptive parts flutter by in pure, lexical pleasure. I’m also pretty sure that, like Lewis Carroll (…and of course, Shakespeare) before him, Peake was partial to nonsense language and made up words to suit his purposes, when English didn’t provide him with an accurate way to express his madcap sentiments!
A lot of readers and critics may well try to make Steerpike, the castle and the rest of the shenanigans that go on inside it, into an analogy for various different historical occurrences or moral quandaries.The Dickensian names and real-world parallels make this tempting. However I am pretty convinced that Peake intended The Gormenghast Novels to mean nothing at all – and that is exactly why they mean so much to me. As a literature graduate who ordinarily delights in dissecting the complexities of authors’ intentions and literary innovation, Gormenghast is a breath of fresh air: an intelligent and exquisitely well-written novel, for the sheer sake of it. Peake plays with language for the joy of words and creates an imaginary world filled with truly extraordinary characters and occurrences, for the love of escape alone.

The interior of the new Maruti Dzire Tour S CNG features the same beige and black dual-tone theme. The interior sports a basic dashboard layout with the analogue instrument cluster, AC vents, manual climate control and separate gauges for petrol and CNG.
The Maruti Dzire Tour S CNG is expected to be based on the LXI trim and will include features such as front power windows, dual-front airbags as standard and power steering. A button has been placed next to the steering column to switch between petrol and CNG.
The CNG gas tank is placed in the boot which occupies a considerable amount of space. The report also states that the CNG tank filler cap is beside the petrol filler with a metal plaque with CNG tank details. The rear windshield gets a ‘Green' badging.
The Maruti Dzire Tour S CNG draws power from the existing 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. When running on petrol the engine produces 83bhp and the power drops to 70bhp in the CNG mode. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox.

Hotels in Cagliari
Cagliari is a large town located in the region of Sardegna, of which it is the capital city. Cagliari is a city with a great deal of history behind it, having been founded by the Phoenicians and then conquered by the Romans and the Carthaginians. One of the main attractions of Cagliari is the Bastione of Saint Remy, which was built by a nobleman of the same name from Piedmont in the 1800s.

The UAE announced in Davos on Tuesday the launch of an index to help business leaders and policymakers track disruptive trends and transformations and find opportunities to boost economic growth.
The Future Possibilities Index, which will also include a survey of executives in 70 countries, builds on the 2020 Future Possibilities Report, commissioned by the UAE government, which identified half a dozen trends — from circular and “experience” economies to biomaterials and big data — that will advance the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The UAE, which will not be part of the process for producing the index, aims “to make this index a major flagship index in Davos during the annual meetings of the World Economic Forum, and an important global source for governments and decision-makers to inspire forward-looking policies and strategies”, said Ohood Al Roumi, Minister of State for Government Development and the Future.
At the UAE's Pavilion on the main Promenade in Davos, Switzerland, the minister signed a preliminary partnership agreement with Newsweek’s Vantage research and analysis division and global experts Horizon Group.
“In this era, we are witnessing a wave of new trends shaping unique opportunities that could benefit future generations. It is up to us to make the best out of these emerging disruptions and transformations to design a better future,” said Ms Al Roumi.
The UAE will have a role on the advisory board for the index.
Margareta Drzeniek, managing partner with Horizon Group, which helped compile the UN backed report the UAE released three years ago, said decision makers would need data to be able to assess the six areas of opportunity for growth that the index would measure.
These are transformative trends such as “the new digital economy, for example, AI, quantum computing … the transition to net zero … health and well-being … the experience economy, which describes the move away from consuming goods towards experiences, including tourism, but also learning opportunities. And last but not least, a circular economy,” she said.
The index will track the readiness of countries with regards to the above areas, in both the private and public sectors and including if they have the necessary infrastructure in place, Ms Drzeniek said. This would give investors and companies an assessment of where the best opportunities might be.
The 2020 report said there could be as much as a $30 trillion (Dh110 trillion) boost for the global economy by 2025 if governments were able to take advantage of an influx of data, cutting-edge technology and new consumer preferences.
“From the country perspective, it gives them a sense where they are in the process, what they need to do because all those transformations are going to be defining the economy of the future,” she said.
The index would also help countries choose which areas to focus on and prioritise “based on where they have the strengths … also it helps them to see what they need to improve”, Ms Drzeniek said.
“They can benchmark themselves against other countries … and where also the opportunities for leapfrogging are [and find] short-term opportunities.”
The index could also help promote dialogue “that will be more open-minded, and more inclusive of the different groups around the world, north and south, east and west, the younger generation and the older generation,” said Nigel Holloway, chief executive of Newsweek Vantage.

Today’s Google Doodle celebrates Langston Hughes’ 113th birthday and his poem I Dream a World.
It also marks the beginning of Black History Month 2015.
Hughes was a key player in the Harlem Renaissance and became well-known after its zenith as a poet, civil rights activist, novelist, playwright, and journalist. He traveled throughout the world as an ambassador for black causes, having built himself from humble beginnings on the Midwest plains.
Here’s what you need to know about him.
1. He Had an Eclectic Ancestry
He was born on February 1, 1902, in Joplin, Missouri making today his would-be 113th birthday. He died in 1967 at the age of 65, but not before making himself a name as a poet, civil rights activist, novelist, playwright, and journalist.
He came from an eclectic ancestry. While his work would focus on black culture, Hughes himself was part Scottish, Jewish, French, English, and Native American.
He spent most of his childhood in Lawrence, Kansas.
2. He Traveled A Lot
Hughes traveled a lot in his youth. For a short stint, he lived in Mexico with his father. He then attended Columbia University in New York City but left because of racial prejudice. He then joined the S.S. Malone in 1923 and traveled Europe and Africa. Upon returning to the United States, he enrolled in Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. Lincoln University is the United States’ first degree-granting historically African-American university. He graduated with a B.A. and moved to Harlem.
He spent the remainder of his life in Harlem and New Jersey with trips to Asia and Russia due to his interest in communism. He also spent some time in the Caribbean.
3. He Was Involved With the Harlem Renaissance
Hughes was a key player in the Harlem Renaissance. His poetry became well-known in the mid-to-late 1920s. He was known for his “pedestrian” style. A famous poem of his from the time is The Negro Speaks of Rivers (1920):
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.
I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln
went down to New Orleans, and I’ve seen its muddy
bosom turn all golden in the sunset….
With all his writings, Hughes hoped to unite black culture.
His influence was far-reaching and his writings would inspire black writers the world over, especially in the Caribbean, French Africa, and France proper. Writers who have cited Hughes as an influence include Nicolás Guillén, Léopold Aimé Césaire, Jacques Roumain, and Sédar Senghor.
4. He Was an Accused Communist & Homosexual
Hughes was also interested in communism, which was common amongst African-Americans in the 1920s as they saw it as a commonsense way to equality. Hughes wrote poems about communism and published some political works, but never fully joined the cause. Despite traveling to Soviet Russia and China, he refrained from fully calling himself “a communist.” But this didn’t stop other people from calling him one.
Some biographers and academics also consider Hughes to have been a homosexual, as his poems could be construed as having a gay undertone to them similar to Walt Whitman. Hughes never married.
Hughes’ alleged homosexuality was also put on display in a film about him titled Looking for Langston, which came out in 1989. British filmmaker Isaac Julien made the film, which was not an autobiographical film but more about being black and gay in the Harlem Renaissance through the eyes of Hughes.
The promotional poster for the film is above.
Hughes’ sexuality was also commented on in Spike Lee’s Get on the Bus (1996) where a black gay character (Isaiah Washington) punches a homophobic man saying, “This is for James Baldwin and Langston Hughes.”
5. He Wrote I Dream a World
Hughes left behind a rich catalogue of over 50 works that include fiction, non-fiction, poems, children books, and political writings. His involvement of the growth of the African-American community was cut short age 65 when he died due to complications of surgery from prostate cancer.
The Google Doodle today particularly celebrates his poem I Dream a World:
I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn
I dream a world where all
Will know sweet freedom’s way,
Where greed no longer saps the soul
Nor avarice blights our day.
A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the earth
And every man is free,
Where wretchedness will hang its head
And joy, like a pearl,
Attends the needs of all mankind-
Of such I dream, my world!
Hughes was cremated after his death and his remains are interred beneath a floor medallion in the middle of the foyer in the Arthur Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem. The medallion has a quote from one of his more famous poems, The Negro Speaks of Rivers (1920), which reads: “My soul has grown deep like the rivers.”
His memory will be celebrated today in Providence, Rhode Island at the Metcalf Auditorium with the 20th Annual Langston Hughes Poetry Reading from 1 to 3:30 PM.


More than two weeks ago, while Speaker of the House James Amann was on vacation, Republican legislators held a press conference and called for a second special session to cap one of the state’s two gas taxes.
At one point during the July 1 press conference, Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero, R-Norwalk, said “everything is on the table” in terms of finding new ways to fund transportation projects in the state. That everything included the reintroduction of highway tolls.
On Thursday, Amann said he would not support bringing back tolls. He pointed out that tolls were removed from Connecticut highways following the fatal 1983 crash at a Stratford toll booth plaza. “I was shocked to hear what my Republican colleagues were proposing,” Amann said.
Amann said he is officially taking tolls off the table for debate.
However, Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, R-Southport, said what Amann is trying to do is to “deflect the attention away from the fact that Democrats don’t want to lower gas taxes.” He said he would like to see the state study the idea of tolls as a new revenue source to replace the reliance on the gross receipts tax on gas.
McKinney said the problem is that a majority of the gross receipts tax, which is passed onto motorists as a percentage of the wholesale price of gas, is going into the general fund. A portion of the tax helps fund transportation projects in the state—which is the stated statutory purpose for tax—but the percentage dedicated to transportation continues to shrink and the amount going into the general fund continues to grow.
That’s not to mention that the tax is raising millions more than projected as the wholesale price of gas increases.
“Nobody anticipated that this gross receipts tax would have raised this sort of revenue,” Amann said. He said that when the state had a budget surplus in 2007 he proposed capping the increase in the gross receipts tax, but he said Gov. M. Jodi Rell wouldn’t agree to it during budget negotiations a year ago.
Rell said two weeks ago that she would support a second special session to cap the tax.
Amann said the Republican plan to cap the tax on the wholesale price of gas would “add to the state budget deficit.” He said tolls will never generate the same kind of revenue being generated by the gross receipts tax.
He said he would be open to a discussion about what percentage of the gas tax goes toward the general fund and what percentage goes toward transportation projects.
Republicans pointed out that following the bridge collapse in Minnesota, Amann wasn’t as opposed to tolls as he was Thursday.
According to an Aug. 8, 2007, Waterbury-Republican American newspaper article:
House Speaker James Amann, D-Milford, said Monday he’s willing to consider tolls and increased gas taxes to beef up safety inspections and repairs to the state’s transportation network.
“I’ll support any idea that supports this program,” he said. “Whatever it takes to make our bridges and roads safe.”
Amann’s comments came during a press conference at which he and other Democratic lawmakers criticized Gov. M. Jodi Rell for holding up a transportation package worth hundreds of millions of dollars and containing provisions for increased road and bridge inspection and repair.

We asked students across the US to share their thoughts on school shootings. Over 1,600 responded.
To see how students across the country really felt about school shootings, we put out an open request for students to send us their thoughts. Here are some of their responses. Gun violence, particularly school shootings, ranks among the most contentious issues in America.
Since the February 14, 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, mass shootings have again become a staple of the news cycle. This school shooting is distinguished from previous ones, because students around the nation have rallied to organize for safer schools. Whether that means stricter gun control, metal detectors, regulating ammunition sales, or arming teachers, remains unclear.

Eco fascists are the de facto crusaders of what has become the religion of the American political left; that is environmentalism. They use the guise of dogooderism and the pretense of being some kind of environmental savior to justify their economically destructive actions much the same way Hitler did to justify his actions.
Al Gore is one of the most notable and dogmatic eco-fascists for preaching his prophecy of "Truth" for his own self-agrandizement and his obvious agenda of demonizing the oil barons that defeated his political aspirations to the US Presidency, which he clearly felt entitled to.
1. A person who seeks to dictate or control the behavior of others in the name of the environment.
2. One who advocates for the subordination of individual self-interest to the ecofundamentalism of the Green lobby.
2. The political and philosophical inspiration for the the eco-terrorist.
The ecofascists farcically argued that the fossil fuel consuming Ferrari owner's individual property rights could be invalidated in the interests of a national policy of ecofundamentalism that mandated the use of hybrid vehicles.

An experimental investigation of a scaled-down model of an industrial exchanger, using an electrochemical technique, was undertaken in order to show the presence of hydrodynamic heterogeneities at low axial Reynolds number. Heterogeneities were revealed in the bowls with respect to the generalized Taylor number as the result of the perturbations added to the flow by blade rotation at both ends of the exchanger. Shear heterogeneities associated to flow visualizations were correlated to temperature heterogeneities observed in the bowls. Shear fluctuations were revealed in the scraped part describing two distinctive zones at low rotation speed caused by varying viscosity in the flow field. A complex spiral flow was observed by flow visualization characterizing a mass transfer evolution comprised between these two distinctive zones at low Taylor number.


Leonardo Castro believes Kaizer Chiefs are ready to face Stellenbosch FC in Tuesday’s league encounter, describing their Cape opponents as tough.
Kick-off at the FNB Stadium is at 5PM.
Castro said the Amakhosi’s good run of form in recent matches will surely help them against Stellenbosch, adding that it was important for Chiefs to beat both Orlando Pirates and Wydad Casablanca.
“We all know Stellenbosch is a tough team,” Castro told the Amakhosi website.
“We need to focus on ourselves and we need to keep the good mentality that we have developed over the last few games. It’s going to help us and encourage us for the clash against Stellies,” he said.
“These wins have given us a winning mentality. It’s a positive thing for us to have won these matches.
“So, now we can go into this week’s games with confidence – hopefully we get the results we want,” continued Castro.
With Chiefs struggling to get into the top-eight bracket after dropping some crucial points along the way thus far, Castro said the Stellenbosch game is another final for them.
“The next game is another ‘final’. So, we have to take it,” added Castro.
“We have to win the game so we can improve from our last performance. We need to take each and every game with responsibility so we can finish the season in good shape.”
Castro missed a number of matches through injury in March, but he has declared himself fit and ready to contribute positively toward helping Amakhosi do better.
“I am available for the team in case the coach wants to use me. I am ready and eager to go. I want to contribute and give my best,” concluded the Colombian marksman.

JOHANNESBURG - Democratic Alliance (DA) Gauteng leader Solly Msimanga says the provincial government has failed to turn the tide on illegal mining.
During his State of the Province (SOPA) address last week, Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi insisted that the government was winning the battle against illegal miners known as zama zamas.
But speaking at the SOPA debate at the legislature on Thursday morning, Msimanga said Lesufi failed to provide evidence to support his statement.
“I can tell you that if you go to Randfontein, if you go to Carletonville, it is business as usual. The zama zamas are continuing to do what they have been doing. You can continue to make a noise but this is the real state of where things are in the province.”

text: The fish Pterois Radiata can be referred with different names like Radiata Lionfish, Radial Firefish, Scorpion Radiata, Tailbar Lionfish, White-lined Lionfish, and Dragonfish. It features red, white and black vertical stripes over the body with large fan structure like pectoral fins and quill-like dorsal fans. It is not reef safe as it is fond of eating invertebretes and small fish. It should be kept with same size or large size fish as small size fish can end up as food. It is the sole member of the Pterois genus who doesn't have any markings in the vertical fin rays. This can be easily recognized with white stripes decorating the tail. The poison these fish can inflict is shot out through their venomous spines from the glands in the long grooves of their fins. If you are allergic, you may get affected with a serious reaction. Be ready with medical attention to handle this situation. Feed them frozen thawed or live meaty foods such as silversides, krill, shrimp, and squid. Growing up to 10 inches these fish need a minimum tank size of 75 gallons or more to be comfortable.

Pics: There was an anti-Sky banner on show at the Leinster Under 21 football final tonight
Dublin played Meath in O'Moore Park tonight, and a small banner against the GAA's deal with Sky was in the stands.
The first of many? Perhaps, as the first inter-county game to be played since the announcement of Sky's snaffling of some Championship games also saw the first signs of protest from GAA fans.
A small banner reading 'No 2 SKY' was pictured in the stands at O'Moore Park.
Today's edition of Liveline featured a man who said he planned to protest at the first game of the Sky deal, a Leinster hurling match between Kilkenny and Ofally at Nowlan Park in June. If tonight's sign is anything to go by, he won't be alone.
By the way, Dublin won the game 0-15 to 0-10 to become Leinster U21 football champions.

Children with clubfoot in the ACT will now have the cost of equipment for treatment covered by ACT Health.
Member for Brindabella Joy Burch MLA announced that families in the ACT with children with Bilateral Congenital Talipes Equinovarus (BCTE), commonly known as clubfoot, will receive financial assistance for the purchase of the foot abduction brace, or ‘boots and bars’.
“The cost of the boots and bars can be as high as $8,000 across the first four years of a child’s life,” Ms Burch said.
“When you look at the number of children born in the ACT with clubfoot each year, this is not a huge expense for the ACT Government’s health budget, but it will make a significant impact for families.”
Clubfoot occurs in about one in 1,000 babies, affecting the ankle and foot and causing them to turn downwards and inwards.
Minister for Health and Wellbeing Meegan Fitzharris confirmed ACT Health’s agreement to cover the cost of orthotics in the public system at Canberra Hospital, for families not covered by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Minister Fitzharris said that other forms of Talipes that may affect children with conditions such as cerebral palsy will generally be covered under the NDIS, and encouraged families to use that assistance prior to seeking to have the cost covered by ACT Health.
“The ACT Government will financially support families not covered by the NDIS for the purchasing of boots and bars which are required for the treatment of BCTE for newborns,” she said.
Kymberlee Smith, whose six-month-old son Keith was diagnosed with the condition at his 20-week scan, says the funding comes as a “great relief”.
“This will mean for us, and families like us, [that] we won’t have to try and find, and in some cases borrow, the money to pay for the equipment that is so essential to our children’s treatment.
“This is already easing the stress for many families in the area who have children with clubfoot, but it is also making the treatment process less daunting for families who are currently expecting their clubfoot bubs who will be born later in the year.”
As the President of the Canberra and Surrounding Area Clubfoot Association, Ms Smith has lobbied Federal and ACT Government representatives to provide funding for the condition.
“This means for families who are being treated at The Canberra Hospital and through the ACT Public Health Care system that there is finally the start of a financial support system.”

New York City-based technology entrepreneur Mark Davis plans to completely digitize his life by the end of 2009.
The daunting task will include digitizing more than 20,000 family photographs spanning 150 years; 2,000 slides from the fifties and sixties; 50 videotapes of home movies; a hundred years of family archival documents; 3 boxes of vinyl LP's; about 50 mix tapes; 10 boxes of financial records and business documents; and all of his family's financial records.
Davis will convert all of this content into digital format, which he will then store on his iPhone 3GS for easy and instant storage and retrieval. If successful, Davis will shrink a "closet full" of paper and plastic into his pocket. This has profound implications in terms of the management of personal data, and Davis will share what he learns on his video blog and Twitter feed.
Davis is a respected technology and media entrepreneur based in New York City. He is CEO and founder of digital services provider Digitize My Life, Inc, www.digitizemylife.net which helps consumers transfer their old photo albums and videos into their computers, easily and affordably.
"Most families don't have time to consolidate and preserve their assets in a digital format," said Davis. "Photos, film reels, slides and videotapes are assets just like money, but their value is priceless, when considering their sentimental significance. Videotapes, for example, start to degrade after about 15 years. If these memories are not converted into a digital format, they can be lost forever. Our mission is to help people digitize those assets for safe keeping and enjoyment."
"We feel strongly that digitizing one's life provides a real sense of peace of mind, so I have embarked on a personal journey to completely digitize mine", emphasizes Davis. "I'll share everything I learn through the video blog and on Twitter, which I hope will be helpful to other people who may want to do the same."
You can follow Mark's story on his video blog and on Twitter.

It also lines up the ideal first-person shot with a 135-degree wide-angle lens and quickly adjusts to changing light conditions when out in the field. All you'll need to worry about is style and form when it's on.
The places we play are rough, raw and dirty, which is why all Contour cameras are made to withstand run-ins with everything from caked mud and kicked-up sand to raging mountain storms. The burly aluminum body withstands shakes, rattles and rolls while a water-resistant design sheds all types of precip, moisture and spray.

Year 11 artists praised for their work
Year 11 artists have been praised for their ‘magnificent’ art work after officials and community members visited their exhibition.
The young people, who were in their final year at Pool Academy this Year, displayed their talent in the Pool School Art Gallery.
Parents, officials and community members were invited to a viewing of their work and many left in awe of the pieces created as part of their GCSE Art coursework.
Clive Bramley, Chair of Governors at Pool Academy, said: “I was blown away and left speechless by the magnificent art work exhibited by our students.
“I visit many art exhibitions and this one was outstanding. Our students deserve, and teachers deserve, enormous credit. Absolutely fantastic.”
Mr Hague, CEO from Crofty MAT and former Headteacher of Illogan school, said: “Quite simply, the exhibition was an outstanding display of artistic creativity.
“Staff and students of Pool Academy are yet again setting the highest standards."
Jonty Lees, curator, said: “This year Pool School Gallery has shown work by many well-known artists.
“We are delighted that the final exhibition before the summer holidays shows work by young people from Pool Academy.
“The year 11 GCSE exhibition is fantastic. I am so impressed by the work on display. The range of ideas, materials and creativity is inspiring.
“Art teacher Mrs Ellis and her team have done a wonderful job.
“The students, their families and friends can be very proud.”
Mrs Ellis said: “It’s been a very creative and busy year in the Art department this year.
“The Year 11s have worked really hard to complete all the requirements needed to pass GCSE Art and have shown high levels of commitment and maturity to their work.
“The work is very diverse and individual with each student having the opportunity to explore their own interests.
“I am very proud of all the students and delighted that we are lucky enough to display their work in the Pool School Gallery.”


Dubai: The Finnish Prime Minister called for strengthening of the cooperation between the UAE and Finland by building long-term trade relations taking advantage of the strategic location of each country.
Jyrki Katarina, Finland Prime Minister, said: “We don’t only believe in buying and selling goods, but in building long-term trade partnerships with the UAE.”
Pointing to the resemblance between the UAE and Finland, he added that both of the countries’ economies are export driven and dependent on foreign trade and enjoy strategic locations in their respective regions.
The Finnish Prime Minister was speaking at the UAE-Finland Business Forum organised by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry in partnership with the Embassy of Finland in the UAE and FinPro.
Describing the incredible achievement of the UAE, Katarina said; “The UAE’s achievement is no less than a miracle and its peoples’ energy and power of will should encourage others to follow suit.”
He emphasised the need to activate the Finnish-Emirati joint economic committees for enhancing bilateral trade and establishment of joint investment projects in vital economic sectors.
On his part, Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansouri, UAE Minister of Economy, called for speeding up the free trade agreement process between the EU and GCC countries on an urgent basis in light of the global economic situation and growth shifting from the West to the East.
Pointing to the excellent trade relations between the two countries, Al Mansouri added that the UAE trade with Finland was valued at $500 million in 2011 and expected to grow further through effective cooperation programmes and joint strategic targets.
Highlighting the areas of cooperation between the two countries, he said: “The economic prosperity of the two countries included SMEs, innovations and R&D in line with the UAE vision 2021 which emphasises on gradual transfer to a knowledge-based economy.”
Moreover, Abdul Rahman Saif Al Ghurair, the Chairman of Dubai Chamber of Commerce, said that there was tremendous scope to enhance trade cooperation with Finland as “The non-oil trade with the country reached Dh652 million in Q1 2012, making it the 60th country on the list of Dubai’s trading partners,” he added.
Al Ghurair also said that the Forum will lead to a fruitful dialogue for long-term cooperation and enhanced trade ties between the two sides.

Comments: They don't get any better than Reins! They are smaller than other weights & are perfect for the flipping we do at Lake Okeechobee, the Kissimee Chain & all of the Florida lakes. It is the only tungsten I would ever use.
From: Bill: Homosassa, FL 7/6/16
Comments: Reins is the only weights I use. They have awesome matte finishes and one of the only weights with an insert to keep your line from being cut into. They have a large number of weight sizes and colors. Simply Awesome!
From: Tommy: Jackson, GA 1/19/16
Comments: There weights are great. They have a insert which means you don't have to worry about the tungsten cutting your line. Best Tungsten on the market IMHO.
From: Travis: Bloomington, IN 12/22/15
Comments: Best Weights I have ever used. The insert is great & stays in place. Small & compact.
From: Eric: Nineveh, IN 12/19/15
Comments: Reins slip sinkers are the highest quality tungsten available. Super durable inserts & finish combined with 95% pure tungsten make Reins the only one for me when big money is on the line!
From: Randall: Port St. Joe, FL 12/17/15
Comments: I've been extremely pleased for years now with the durability of these weights. The paint job holds up for a lot longer than other models I've used. The insert also helps a lot with cutting down on line damage. Great product!
From: Destin: PA 12/16/15
Comments: weights are pricey but definitely the best tungsten out there. Smallest most unique shape & I dig the matte finishes
From: Mike: Rutland, VT 9/9/15
Comments: Randall Tharp Just won $500,000 and Reins is all he uses! Highest quality weight made!
From: Duane: Pinckney, Mi. USA
Comments: I have tried many tungsten weights but they all either did not have a insert or one that did not do the job and I kept breaking off fish do to the weight causing a weak spot in my line.Then I tried Reins and my line brakage is next to non.I know they are more exspensive but you loose less fish.We buy the best rods and reels and boats but then we buy cheap bullet weights to save a buck or two.In the long run Reins saves you money and if you are a tournament fisherman it puts more pay checks in your pocket.
From: Erick: Richmond Va. USA
Comments: these are top quality, the inserts are super clean unlike some other brands. These will not bind on your knot either. By far the best I've used
From: Eric: NV
Comments: glued in inserts, a must! #1 tungsten on the Japanese market! And those guys only fish the finest quality.
From: Kirk: Indianapolis, IN
Comments: Best Tungsten weights on the market, period!

Monument Valley Forgotten Shores Soundtrack Review: This is a review of the video game score Monument Valley Forgotten Shores by Stafford Bawler.
At a glance:
Geek Score: 92
Total Minutes Of Excellence: 21.4
Album Excellence: 64.8%
Monument Valley is a puzzle game developed and published by indie studio Ustwo. The player leads the princess Ida through mazes of optical illusions and impossible objects while manipulating the world around her to reach various platforms. Monument Valley was developed over ten months beginning in early 2013 based on concept drawings by company artist Ken Wong. Its visual style was inspired by Japanese prints, minimalist sculpture, and indie games Windosill, Fez, and Sword & Sworcery, and was compared by critics to M. C. Escher drawings and Echochrome. The art was designed such that each frame would be worthy of public display. After a closed beta test, it was released for iOS on April 3, 2014, and was later ported to Android and Windows Phone. The game received generally favorable reviews. Critics praised its art and sound design, but noted its lack of difficulty and short length. It won a 2014 Apple Design Award, was named Apple’s best iPad game of 2014, and sold over two million copies by January 2015; by May 2016, sales of the game exceeded 26 million. An add-on expansion, entitled Forgotten Shores, was released for iOS devices on November 12, 2014. The score is composed by Stafford Bawler.
I remember I bought this game for the iPad when it came out and what a wonderful calming experience it was. Sure the puzzle elements were tricky, but the whole mood of the game from the music to the graphics was pure zen. I could meditate to that kind of mood. I reviewed the score to the original game, but finally we have the official score to the expansion pack released in 2014. I’m expecting 30+ minutes of the same calming music I experienced in the original game. The score opens with ‘The Chasm’ and I must admit it sounds a bit different than the original, maybe a bit darker, more epic. Still, you can argue that the same mood is there. It isn’t a complex kind of score, but a mood based one just like the original. It’s not until the second cue ‘Forgotten Shores’ I get that nice warm feeling from the first score. It’s so dreamy and yet it’s so familiar. This is music to meditate to. The meditative state continues with the beautiful ‘Untold Stories’
Sometimes we just need to get away and there’s nothing better to have music following you on that journey. This is a score that’s certainly takes me away from the daily grind. It’s just a simple but pure musical experience that takes me into this beautiful world. I don’t feel danger, but I feel safe here in this world. The exception might be one cue, ‘The Thief’ which interrupts the “flow”. I can’t think of many scores (if any) that is as relaxing as this one. It would have to be the original Monument Valley and that’s the main strength of this score. There really aren’t many others like it and if you would just take a breather and relax with some calm music, I can’t think of better scores than this one.

PHOENIX (AP) — Phoenix officials are eyeing Northern California as a possible source of new jobs for Arizona’s largest city.
Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton’s office says Stanton, City Manager David Cavazos and an economic development official will travel next week to San Francisco and Silicon Valley to woo companies considering relocations or expansions outside California.
Stanton says in a statement that Phoenix wants to partner with technology and manufacturing companies so they can be mutually successful.
Stanton’s office says it won’t release the names of the companies involved because of what it calls “the confidential nature of the visits.”

If you should be wanting to develop credit, perhaps you are confronted by certainly one of life’s great contradictions: to obtain credit, you really must have a credit score.
We’ll program you the way to create a credit score in a minute, but very first let’s define the way the three significant credit agencies, Experian, TransUnion and Equifax, view individuals who don’t utilize credit, or maybe have tried it maybe once or twice over many years.
You tend to be just what the credit agencies make reference to as “credit hidden. when you have no credit history – never ever utilized a charge card, haven’t had an automobile loan, never ever paid a mortgage —” when you have periodically utilized some kind of credit – probably a charge card, but possibly paid a loan of some kind years ago – you will be considered “credit unscorable” while there is simply not adequate information to come up with a credit score.
Interestingly, you will find 26 million Us americans just who fall-in the “invisible” or “unscorable” categories, which actually becomes a challenge once they want to purchase an automobile or residence and need a loan to take action. Loan fast online loans bad credit providers will look for a credit report and since there is no information (or minimal information), they address you as if you have actually bad credit. This could appear unjust, however the explanation is you have actually the discipline to make on-time payments over an extended period that you have not shown.
When you do begin using credit, you’ll have a great credit rating and huge benefits come with a decent credit history. Two years ago, men and women got by on money and a checkbook. Though several however do, navigating the 21st Century with out a bank card is quite difficult.
The conventional for creditworthiness is a FICO rating, a number that is three-digit including 300 to 850 to allow lenders understand what kind of danger you pose as a debtor. Creating credit that is strong – the closer to 850 the greater – makes it possible to borrow at reduced prices and acquire charge cards with greater borrowing from the bank restrictions and more benefits.

Special Issue Information
We are pleased to invite you to submit your research papers to the Special Issue of Inorganics titled “Single Atom Alloys: Modern Trends in Preparation and Application”.
Single-atom alloys (SAAs) are a type of single-site catalyst containing catalytically active elements (Pd, Pt, Rh, Ru) that are atomically dispersed in more inert but more selective host metals (Ag, Au and Cu). Alloying the reactive metals of Pt group with less-reactive hosts provides more selective chemical reactions, improved resistance to carbon monoxide poisoning, greater resistance to deactivation by coking and significant cost savings for catalyst manufacturers. Due to their unique atomic structure and exceptional catalytic selectivity, SAAs demonstrate promising potential as a new class of excellent catalysts for various chemical reactions in laboratory, pilot scale and industrial application. SAAs currently exhibit unique reactivity for the selective hydrogenation of hydrocarbons and unsaturated aldehydes, the dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons and alcohols, C–C and CO– coupling reactions, the hydrogenolysis of biomass-type molecules, and C–H activation.
This Special Issue will focus on recent advances in the synthesis and physicochemical characterization of SAAs for a wide variety of catalytic applications, as well as studies on the structure of SAAs, experimental and computational studies revealing the relationship between the isolated metal atoms, as well as their catalytic performance and mechanisms of reaction. Studies focusing on novel synthesis techniques of SAAs for industrial scale-up are of interest as well. We encourage of all types of submissions, including communications, original research articles, and reviews related to SAAs approaching practical application.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
