The piece of data that lies at the heart of Charles Blow’s Saturday New York Times piece is obvious when you come to think about it, but it’ll still come in handy as an argument for questioning certain stereotypes about today’s GOP:
Which political party’s members are most likely to believe that Jesus will definitely return to earth before midcentury? The Republicans, right? Wrong. The Democrats. This was revealed by a report issued last week by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. On the surface it may seem surprising, but, in fact, it’s quite logical. Blacks and Hispanics, two highly religious groups, are a growing part of the Democratic Party…Add to this the fact that, according to the 2009 Gallup report, 20 percent of the Democratic Party is composed of highly religious whites who attend church once a week or more, and you quickly stop second-guessing the Second Coming numbers. Welcome to the Religious Left, which will continue to grow as the percentage of minorities in the country and in the party grows.
Blow goes on to consider what this might mean:
People often ask whether the Republican Party will have to move to the left to remain viable. However, the question rarely asked is whether the growing religiosity on the left will push the Democrats toward the right.
To which the answer will rather depend on what you mean by ‘right’. If it’s something on the lines of what Mike Huckabee is peddling, the answer may well be yes, but not, I would imagine, for quite a while.
Blow also thinks that any change will be gradual:
At the moment, that answer is both yes and no. On the one hand, unlike John Kerry before him, Barack Obama made a strong play for the religious vote on his march to the White House. It worked so well that it’s likely to continue, if not intensify, among Democratic candidates. On the other hand, the religious left is not the religious right. The left isn’t as organized or assertive. For the most part, it seems to have made its peace with the mishmash of morality under the Democratic umbrella, rallying instead around some core Democratic tenets: protection of, and equality for, the disenfranchised and providing greater opportunity and assistance for the poor. The unanswerable questions are whether these highly religious, socially conservative Democrats will remain loyal to a liberal agenda as they become the majority of the party and their financial and social standing improves. Or whether Republicans will finally make headway in recruiting them. The future only knows.
Then again, the world as we know it may not have much of a future if, as these Democrats believe, a deity will soon descend from the sky.
True, has anyone remember a left wing economic evangelical that ran for politcal office name Willia Jennings Bryan.
I mean William Jennings Byrant. Anyway, the Dems got more votes from the evangelicals than the Repubs but there is a history for the modern religous conservtive from British history-William Gladstone, right on the economics and social issues but left on warfare. Most modern consertive evangelicals disagree with mr Gladstone on warfar,however in his later year he changed somewhat. He started out as a Tory and became a 19th century which is more of a 20th century Meggie T Conserative or Ronald Reagan with more of Ron Paul in foreign affairs.
While the ” Religious Left ” is rising it’s only the elites since the ” socially liberal ” church is dying in attendance and in identification
What is rising instead in Christianity are these :
1 – Reformation
2 – Conservative balance and moderation
3 – Western civilization study = Greece + Rome + Judaism + Christianity
4 – Apolegetics meaning the growth of intelectuality
For everybody here are some interests websites showing these
1 – http://www.alittleleaven.com/
2 – http://www.christianitytoday.com/
3 – http://www.brusselsjournal.com/
4 – http://www.internetmonk.com/
Can someone explain to me how a guy like Charles Blow has a weekly NYT opinion column and Steve Sailer has to panhandle for money on a blogspot site?
If a higher percentage of Democrats become religious (as the percentage of hispanics and blacks rise), they won’t “move to the right” as Blow claims, they’ll become less libertarian and less elitist.
The Democratic Party of the future will be more radical on tax and spend issues, and favor strong government regulation of the economy. On the other hand, they’ll care less about the environment, feminism, and abortion.
hispanic religiosity is closer to non-hisp whites than blacks. they’re not really that socially conservative.
one of the issues people tend to confuse is that hispanics aren’t that socially conservative. on abortion they’re somewhat more conservative than whites. but on other hot button issues they’re not that conservative, only a little bit more than whites on homosexuality, and about as creationist as whites.
I would doubt hispanics are more creationist than whites. Catholics have always been susceptable toward an allegorical rendering of Genesis, and persecuting the literalist Galileo. Changing their views every hundred years; among many other inconsistencies, doesn’t provide a solid foundation for their faith.
Mexico just legalized abortion in the face of the church, with massive protests everywhere. The Mexican people have no say as to what laws will be passed, therefore, the people are in a perpetual state of corruption, and tyranny, being fleeced, and mesmerized, by people reared with the same exact beliefs as themselves.
Well, Mexicans are becoming more evangelical protestants and whites are moving into Eastern Orthodoxy from evangelicalism
I would like to say that cynthia curran has it right on whites going to Eastern Orthodoxy but she’s wrong on hispanics , blacks , mixed and whichever going into evangecalism
The fact is that the children of evangecalicals are leaving it
But it’s not really talked about either by the secular left or the generation of the religious right of my parents
It may not be visible to the seculars but to those whom are inside Christianity it’s becoming ever more apparent
Here’s the trends :
– Most young Christians have rejected the false prosperity word of faith I can never be sick getting richer and only materialism gospel and if they are still evangelicals it’s because it’s a reformed form of evangecalism
– They have also rejected the emergent socially liberal church
– Reformation occuring
– Western civilization pillars ( the 4 pillars I mentioned in previous post ) being studied
– Growth of apologetics
– Growth of religious nuclear families in particular … and I quote
” In the culture war between the secular left and the religious right, the left is striving to offset its demographic disadvantage by its control of media and education, and so far it’s been pretty successful. The religious right’s tendency to outbreed the left has been partially foiled by the left’s conversion of the children of the right to a progressive point of view. ”
Comment on this quote from a teacher in Australia
” A big potential spanner in the works though, is the imminent retirement of the post-war baby boomer generation in North America and Australasia.
That fits my experience as a school teacher here in Melbourne. The teachers now retiring are the true believer types, very zealous in their pursuit of liberal causes.
There are still female teachers in their 30s influenced by third wave feminism who are solidly left-wing. But the male teachers under 50 and the female teachers under 30 are much less invested in politics. ”
” Despite the rapid spread of secularism over the last 40 years, irreligious Europeans, North Americans, and East Asians, just aren’t having enough offspring to match the numbers being born to the God-fearing. ”
” In the culture war between the secular left and the religious right, the left is striving to offset its demographic disadvantage by its control of media and education, and so far it’s been pretty successful.

A big potential spanner in the works though, is the imminent retirement of the post-war baby boomer generation in North America and Australasia. The boomers were both the most numerous and most committed followers of post-war liberalism, but subsequent generations have neither the numbers or the zeal to be wide-eyed missionaries for post modern liberal multiculturalism. Indeed, many now seem to follow a kind of vague left libertarianism of which political apathy and cynicism see to be the main ideological features. Only the popular but ideologically muddled environmental movement seems to have any kind of committed following. ”

Situated on the northern coastline of California, Carmel-by-the-Sea has an assortment of architectural styles, from English cottages to postmodern minimalism. The prime real-estate overlooking dramatic cliffs, jagged Cypress trees and the verdant Pebble Beach golf-course attracts those who appreciate the finer things in life. An opulent lifestyle naturally necessitates first-rate culinary sophistication. We look at ten restaurants in Carmel offering the best of the best.
Restaurant, European, North American, $
Inspired by the huddles of intellectuals conversing over espresso – a common sight within small European cafés – La Bicyclette offers cuisine crafted from local ingredients using old world techniques and fostering the art of good conversation. Serving pizza in a wood-fire Mugnaini oven and altering the menu to take seasonal produce into account, the restaurant offers a variety of options that are consistently flavoursome and fresh. From chocolate croissants and thick French toast for breakfast, to a dinner of Kurobuta pork short rib with peach glaze, La Bicyclette has something to tempt even the most discerning diner. The restaurant also shares a special partnership with MEarth, which develops children’s understanding of the farm to table process through culinary and environmental stewardship.

Just outside of Carmel proper, this two-story adobe dates back to 1833 and is reputedly one of the most haunted buildings on the Monterey Peninsula. Once occupied by a sailor-turned-doctor, 1833 is said to retain his ghost who still wanders the halls. The old-California-meets-New Orleans style interior draws diners from across the district, all delighting in the talented Jason Franey’s menu. The ever-popular martini cart serves playfully brilliant home-pickled onions for the perfect Gibson, olives stuffed with local blue cheese, select vodka profiles for a delectable craft martini and many varieties of hand-picked olives and gins in between. From tucked away fire lit rooms, to luxurious perches over the sprawling bar, 1833 provides room for large groups as well as space for intimate soirées. From the menu, try the yellow fin tuna with cauliflower cous cous and the jidori chicken breast stuffed with ramp boudin for a first-class culinary experience.
Restaurant, North American, Gluten-free, $$$
Receiving a five-star rating by Forbes Travel Guide, the contemporary Californian Aubergine is hailed by locals as one of the best restaurants in Carmel, supported by the fact that executive Chef Justin Cogley has been recently named as the Best New Chef by Food & Wine magazine. Serving two menus nightly – either ‘the menu’ or ‘tasting menu’ – the cuisine showcases the finest, freshest ingredients, perfectly treading the line between tradition and innovation. Dinner is paired with wine from a 2,500-bottle wine cellar, stocked from famed wine regions around the world including Monterey County and France. The cuisine is enjoyed in the ideal backdrop of the restaurant’s sleek contemporary feel, displaying earth hues and walls adorned with local photographs.
Restaurant, European, Italian, North American, $$
Cantinetta Luca offers the pure flavors of authentic Italian food in a casual, modern setting. The ingredients are always fresh and seasonal with a simple, rustic presentation. Executive Chef Jason Balestrieri sources the best available ingredients from local farmers, fishmongers and purveyors to ensure consistent quality. Many items on the menu are made in-house including the breads, many cheeses, artisanal salami and fresh pastas. Specialties include wood-oven baked pizza, as well as a wide array of antipasti, whole fire-roasted fish and grilled meats served family-style. The restaurant’s wine list, exclusively Italian, offers an extensive selection of hard to find and reasonably priced wines.
Restaurant, North American, $$
Tucked away in the corner of a shopping center in Center Street, Carmel Valley, Lokal features chalkboard walls and a 28-foot bar built from redwood salvaged from the Monterey Pop Festival stage. Chef Brendan Jones is a veteran of the Michelin-starred Mugaritz in Spain and Cachagua General Store, and opened his innovative Carmel farm-to-table restaurant in May 2012. What he doesn’t grow himself, Jones sources from local purveyors and farmers markets. Opt for the sourdough French toast and build your own Benedict, choosing from local Corralitos ham or sausage and a choice of spinach, chard, wild arugula or fennel from the garden on Lokal’s shaded patio.
Restaurant, North American
An historic 22-acre ranch preserved by Carmel’s former mayor and silver-screen legend, Clint Eastwood, Mission Ranch is known for its All-American cuisine. It offers a piano bar and spectacular views over Point Lobos, Carmel River Beach and the Pacific Ocean. Operating as a 31-room hotel with ten buildings across the estate, the property boasts a sterling restaurant in which guests can enjoy dinner whilst observing the goings on of a fully functional ranch. Must-have menu items from the Mission Ranch restaurant are the grilled and chilled local artichoke with aioli chipotle and the char-broiled salmon, sautéed in lemon butter sauce and served with wild rice and spinach.
Restaurant, Tapas, Spanish, 0
Mundaka, the tapas-style restaurant located in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, offers guests a taste of Spain in an artistic, creative and cultural environment. Developed with a clear love and reverence for the atmosphere and laidback attitude of Spain, the design is cozy and intimate with floor-to-ceiling windows lined by glowing rows of empty wine bottles. Great for a date night, the suggested menu items are the datiles, which consist of dates stuffed with goat’s cheese and sprinkled with arugula, or lamb hamburguesa with pickled cauliflower and truffle fries – all to be washed down with a refreshing glass of two of the beverage choice, chilled, fruity sangria.
Restaurant, Italian, Mediterranean, Vegetarian, $$$
Following its grand opening, La Balena was voted the Best New Restaurant in Carmel in the Monterrey County Weekly newspaper. Operated by Chef Brad Briske – who sources local and organic ingredients before transforming them into delicious, handmade dishes – La Balena offers Italian fare with a constantly evolving daily menu. Briske begins his day in the Monterey Bay area, perusing the farmers’ markets, the wharf and the local livestock farms to buy and source fresh ingredients and exciting new flavors for his menu. Local favorites include the osso bucco, lamb meatballs, polpo grigliato, pollo frito, pesce del giorno and soft, decadent wedges of tiramisu.
Restaurant, Italian, Vegetarian, $
Rich Pèpe opened Little Napoli in 1990 and it has since become one of the most iconic Italian restaurant on the Monterey Peninsula. Chianti is served by the glass and olive oil is poured into saucers printed with sage advice such as “non parlare, baciami” (don’t talk, kiss me). Recently featured on The Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, Little Napoli is full of delicious food and the atmosphere breezy thanks to Pepe’s infectious personality. Relax on the restaurant’s new al fresco patio upstairs and enjoy the gnocchi avellino and chicken parmigiana with pappardelle and smothered in a rich alfredo sauce.

Usually when I sit down to write, I get really fired up and some sarcasm - fueled piece comes out. Today is a little different; I'm reflecting on the past year. In the past 365 days, I've made a home at RIT & many friends that I don't ever want to lose. I have also lost a lot of people in the last 365 days, nearly losing myself in the process. This last year has beat me up countless times and tested me in every way. When I thought things couldn't get worse, they did.
Sometimes shit happens on a really good day. The sun is shining, you're ahead of all of your coursework, you're having a great time. And then shit happens.
You may fail a class, or get broken up with, or have to take a friend to the hospital. Shit happens. Sometimes you lose the people that you care most about and thought that you couldn't live without. Sometimes they just walk away, or you have to watch them become a new person that you can't stand to even look at. Shit happens.
It's not enough to just say that shit happens and ignore it. You need to deal with it. If your friend is suicidal and needs help, it needs to be dealt with. Be there for them. I had to watch a suicidal friend (X) lose their closest friends because those friends were too scared of having to deal with the loss of the friend to try to stick around. Somehow, X made it through; they had shit happen to them and they dealt with it. I stuck around and helped them, because shit happens and it needs to be dealt with.
Shit needs to be dealt with. I watched my best friend turn into someone that was emotionally abusive and toxic, knowing that there was nothing I could do about it. They were hurting and there was nothing I could do to stop it, except take the brunt of their pain. Emotional abuse from anyone is not to be tolerated, so if you can't have a healthy relationship with someone, then don't even bother being around. I tried to help, but it almost ruined me. Shit happens and sometimes you just gotta walk away.
All kinds of shit happens throughout your lifetime. That's what life is and that's how it works. What happens says nothing about you, but how you handle it says everything about you. So what you need to do is go out and handle the shit that life deals you. Shit happens. Don't let it ruin you. You might lose people that you love, but you can't let those things ruin you. The shit in your life needs to be dealt with so that it doesn't ruin the good things in life. Those are the things that you need to hang onto.

Day 4 brings us a bumper crop of great Dharma exploration and evocation from Ratnaguna and friends in the Bristol sangha as they deepen into their retreat together.
Talk 6: The Sutra as a Practice of Annussati - Recollection of the Three Jewels Ratnaguna introduces the practice of reading the longer Sukhavativuyha Sutra as a recollection of the Buddha, Dharma and arya-Sangha.
Reading from the Longer Sukhavativyuha Sutra - The Living Beings of the Buddhafield Ratnaguna briefly recaps on how...
Two more recordings from Ratnaguna’s beautiful retreat, going on all week in Bristol, UK, with the Triratna community in the heart of the city. A great fifth talk, and a different approach from the first day’s visualisation to imagining Sukhavati, the great jewelled realm of Amitabha.
Talk 5: The Mystery of the Pure Land This talk corrects some common misunderstandings about the Pure Land texts. The sutras are not to be read as philosophy but appreciated as...
A wonderful second pair of talks, bringing to life Sukhavati, the great Pure Land or Happy Land of Amitabha.
Talk 3: The Deathless Buddha - Possible Roots of Sukhavati in the Pali Canon In this fascinating talk, Ratnaguna shows us remarkable resonances between the Sukhavativuyha sutras and two late Pali suttas - the Mahaparinibbana sutta and Mahasuddassana sutta, and suggests the Sukhavativuyha sutras may have arisen from the distress of the Buddha’s followers after his Parinirvana.
Here are the two wonderful Dharma talks by Ratnaguna from the first day of the retreat this weekend, along with a led visualisation bringing the Pure Land of Sukhavati, made of all precious things, to life. As a treat to conclude, we also get the Bristol sangha chanting a beautiful, resonant version of Amitabha mantra.
Talk 1: Why hear the Pure Land Sutras?
An introduction to the three Pure Land sutras and to understanding the practice of Mahayana sutras in general. Other...
“All worldly activities are as immaterial as chaff.” So said the Tibetan teacher Tsongkapa. Having explored the Eight Worldly Winds, and their effects upon us; having examined our response and looked at suggestions for ways of working, is there some overarching approach we could adopt? In short, what have we learned, and how can we put it in to practice? Taranita completes his series on The Worldly Winds with the fourth and final talk.
Being social creatures, we live amongst others; how do we deal with the respect or disrespect afforded by other people? And being human, we are in the midst of pleasure and pain; so what is an appropriate response to these powerful sensations? In part 3 of his series on The Worldly Winds, Taranita explores the Worldly Winds of Respect & Disgrace and Pleasure & Pain
Two of the most emotive agents that the Worldly Winds throw at us are Loss and Criticism; how is it that these ubiquitous events can lead us to denial, anger and blame? And neither are our responses straightforward to their allegedly more desirable counterparts, Gain and Praise. Explore further the first two pairs of the Eight Worldly Winds in the second of four talks by Taranita on the Worldly Winds. Includes a number of points to discuss and on which to reflect.
The Eight Worldly Winds of Gain & Loss, Praise & Criticism, Respect & Disgrace, and Pleasure & Pain blow upon us all of our lives; sometimes gently, often with great ferocity. Rather than being simply blown about like a tattered prayer flag, we can use these every present phenomena to further our practice; which is no doubt one of the reasons that according to the Buddha, a penetrating insight into these transient states is a path to liberation. In this series of four talks, of which this is the introduction, we explore The Eight Worldly Winds and how we can work with them.
The Buddha spoke to everybody, from homeless wanderers to kings. So when King Ajatassattu wants to go to war against the Vajjian people, he asks the Buddha's advice! In this engaging talk, Vajratara unpacks the Buddha's reply, as he explains the 'seven things' which should be in place in order for a society to prosper and not decline. How might this teaching be interpreted in modern day terms, and what can it tell us about how we can help the dharma spread through society as a whole?
From communist to Buddhist.... Vimalavajri talks of her personal involvement in the spheres of politics, feminism and Buddhism. Using Indra's net as a classic Buddhist image of interconnectedness, the talk explores what the dharma might have to say about social or political action, and asks what helps when we feel overwhelmed or stuck in ill-will. If we really see Indra's net, we will connect more deeply with life at all levels and our action will be more joyful and wholehearted.

- Rapper Ja Rule and Herb Rice created The Painted House to help put Black NFT artists center stage.
- Their first project is called "Black is Beautiful" and features art by Nick Davis.
- They reject criticism of NFT marketplaces, arguing they have pros and cons "like any other industry".
On a brownstone stoop in Harlem nestled between New York's Fifth and Madison Avenues, 54 jazz musicians assembled in 1958 for a photograph that would inspire homages for decades to come.
In 1998, nearly 200 hip hop artists crowded onto the very same stoop for a photograph. And in June, 64 years after the original image was taken, dozens of Black NFT (non-fungible token) artists gathered there to do so again.
At the front left stood rapper Ja Rule, who had hits with songs including "Always on Time'' to "Mesmerize" in the early 2000s. He's now aiming to put Black NFT artists center stage with The Painted House, a platform he and his business partner Herb Rice set up after realizing they were often the only Black people at NFT events.
Partnering with NFT launchpad platform House of Firsts, The Painted House released its first project in June. "Black is Beautiful" is a collection of more than 1,000 NFTs by artist Nick Davis depicting the everyday life of Black Americans.
"It captivated me," Rice told Insider. "Growing up, I was very insecure about my dark skin complexion, so when I saw [Davis'] art, it took me back to a place in time when my family used to tell me how beautiful my Black skin was."
Others have the same sentiment about Davis' art, the duo said.
"This represents me," said Ja Rule, recalling people's response to the art. "I don't see too many images with my Black skin on them."
'Ahead of the curve'
Ja Rule is far from the only celebrity to jump on the NFT bandwagon, given figures from Mark Cuban to Lindsay Lohan have all done so.
He says "smart rappers" are into NFTs because they "like to be ahead of the curve on things – we can keep our ears to the streets."
Ja Rule says he got into NFTs without even realizing he was collecting them, through NBA Top Shot, an NFT marketplace where basketball video clips can be traded.
"I'm a big card collector, and I thought this was the natural progression to trading cards, a digital form of trading cards," he explains.
Before The Painted House, Ja Rule and Rice set up an investment group called Brotherhood Dow to educate their close network about NFTs, cryptocurrency and blockchains.
Their latest venture plans to launch collections by new artists, as well as fashion and apparel projects.
The pair reject criticisms of NFT marketplaces, arguing they have pros and cons "like any other industry" and instead want to focus on its community-building aspect.
Buyers of art from Black is Beautifu will get new music from Ja Rule, as well as other exclusive content, for example.
"Those are things that we get to do in the NFT community that you don't get to do in any other business entity," the rapper says.
They plan to give some proceeds to historically Black colleges and universities with a $25,000 donation to five institutions. ICONN Media, Ja Rule's live-streaming entertainment marketplace, will match that sum.
Ja Rule hopes historically Black colleges and universities will eventually be as prestigious as Ivy League schools. "We want people in our community to be proud when they go to an HBCU like if you go to a Cornell, or Duke, or Penn State, or Harvard."

You can drive an 8 seater minibus on a car licence with no other considerations, if you are doing so privately. It is not considered to be a small bus, or minibus. That size of vehicle is classed as a ‘small vehicle’ adapted to carry 8 passengers or fewer.
There are conditions and restrictions on driving these types of vehicles if it is not your private vehicle. If you are driving for an organisation or as part of your employment there may be some restrictions on who can drive these vehicles, such as needing to be over 21 and having had your licence for over two years, but you still only need a standard car licence.
An organisation that accepts any sort of payment for providing transport to passengers must hold either a PSV ‘O’ licence or a private hire vehicle (PHV) licence and driver must hold the full D1 licence and complete annual CPC training. Section 19 Permits are issued by the DVSA to organisations that operate vehicles without a view to profit to transport their members, or people whom the organisation exists to help, such as school pupils.

COVID-19 vaccination and booster frequently asked questions
Table of Contents
Who should get COVID-19 vaccination?
COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for everyone ages 6 months and older in the United States for the prevention of COVID-19. There is currently no FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine for children younger than age 6 months. CDC recommends that people stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccination.
I have already been vaccinated against COVID-19, do I need a booster dose?
The virus that causes COVID-19 has changed over time. The different versions of the virus that have developed over time are called variants. The first COVID-19 vaccines are called “monovalent” because they were designed to protect against the original variant of virus that causes COVID-19. However, two COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers, Pfizer and Moderna, have developed updated COVID-19 vaccines. The updated vaccines are called “bivalent” because they protect against both the original virus that causes COVID-19 and the newer variants, such as Omicron variants. The newer bivalent vaccines provide greater protection from COVID- 19 than the original monovalent vaccines.
CDC recommends that all people ages 6 months and older receive at least 1 bivalent (updated) mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. This may be called a booster if you have had prior monovalent vaccination.
Can I still get the older, monovalent vaccine?
The monovalent formulations of the two mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are no longer available and should no longer be used for COVID-19 vaccination.
When and where can I get the updated bivalent vaccine or booster?
Updated bivalent vaccines and boosters are widely available , including at doctor’s offices, hospitals, pharmacies, and community health clinics.
Am I fully vaccinated without if I have not had an updated (bivalent)booster?
You are not considered fully vaccinated or up to date with COVID-19 vaccination if you have not had a bivalent (updated) COVID-19 vaccine.

Yes, vaccination is free. You do not need to pay, have ID, or have health insurance to get a booster.

You can get aCOVID-19 vaccination or booster in Massachusetts if you live, work or study here.
What if I don’t know when I received my last COVID-19 vaccine shot or what type it was?

If I have already had COVID, should I still get vaccinated or get a booster?
Yes. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine or booster gives most people a high level of protection against COVID-19 even in people who have already been sick with COVID-19.
After having COVID, how long do I need to wait to get vaccinated or boosted?
You should wait until your 10-day period of isolation is over and any symptoms have improved. This to ensure that you don’t spread COVID-19 to others.

An IP address is a specific address that identifies a device on a local network or the internet. The Internet Protocol (IP) policies regulate the delivery format of information to local networks or the internet.
The IP address enables the internet to differentiate between websites, computers, and routers and therefore is crucial to how the internet works.
How Does an IP Address Work?
An IP address comprises a string of four numbers divided by periods, for instance, 22.214.171.124. Since each number in the group can range from 0 to 255, the full address range is 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255.
No matter their location, all devices use the same language to exchange information and communicate with each other. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA – an ICANN subdivision) automatically generates and allocates IP addresses; hence they are not random. ICANN is a non-profit organization that helps maintain internet security and allows all to use it.
When anyone registers an internet domain name via a DN registrar, the latter plays ICANN a small fee to do so.
3 Types of IP Addresses
There are various IP address categories within which are different types. These are:
- Consumer IP addresses
- Private IP addresses
- Public IP addresses (Dynamic IP addresses and Static IP addresses).
In addition, there are also two types of web IP addresses – shared and dedicated.
IP Address Security
Hackers use several methods to obtain IP addresses, primarily online stalking and social engineering. Therefore, using a proxy server or VPN is advised to hide your IP address and protect your private information and online identity.

The highest share of homeowners are likely to move in the third quarter to Chicago, Washington, D.C., Orlando, Tampa, and Atlanta, according to a new study by ATTOM Data Solutions, a real estate data firm. Researchers culled data from purchase loan applications on residential transactions among metro areas with at least 500,000 single-family homes and condos for ATTOM’s Pre-Mover Housing Index.
“A higher pre-mover index bodes well for local real estate agents, home improvement stores, moving companies, and others that benefit from the halo effect of a home sale,” says Daren Blomquist, senior vice president at ATTOM Data Solutions. “Meanwhile markets with a low pre-mover index likely have a scarcity of inventory available to buy or relatively weak demand from prospective buyers—or some combination of both—which is not optimal for businesses that rely on the home sale halo effect.”
The analysis showed that the metros with the lowest number of new residents in the second quarter were moving to Cleveland; Boston; Pittsburgh; Detroit; and San Francisco.

Burma now ranks 138th on the United Nations Development Program’s Human Development Index and was lately ranked above solely Afghanistan and Somalia in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index.24. Violence, corruption, and utter disrespect for worldwide legislation have turn out to be the hallmarks of the SPDC’s rule for the past 15 years. Once companies begin mining, the livelihoods of ladies, as compared to men, are disproportionately affected in 4 main ways.
With defiant creativity, individuals have strung up clotheslines of women’s sarongs, called htamein, to guard protest zones, knowing that some men are loath to walk under them. Others have affixed images of Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, the military chief who orchestrated the coup, to the hanging htamein, an affront to his virility. As the ladies get older, it may seem to a Westerner that they lead a quite restricted life. It just isn’t customary among us for a girl to go out alone after she is sixteen or seventeen.

The promotion of nationalist sentiments through the media, public events, and the display of related photographs is particularly marked on holidays. Among architectural websites with national symbolism, two of an important are the archaeological web site of the old capital of Pagan and Shwedagon Pagoda in Rangoon. It is bordered by Bangladesh to the west, India and China to the north, and Laos and Thailand to the east.
Their COVID-19 Tracking Team maintains a database of state-perpetrated human rights abuses. As COVID-19 surged, governments around the world responded with curfews and stay-at-home measures supposed to limit community spread. In Uganda, the state issued a strict lockdown that severely restricted motion. But for girls dealing with domestic violence at house, lockdown entails its own life-threatening risks. Following 10 years of gradual progress on political and financial liberalization—and a landslide victory for the NLD in the 2020 election—the Burmese military took power in a coup on February 1, 2021, simply hours before the newly elected members of Parliament were set to convene. The army has shortly reversed exhausting-received progress towards democracy and human rights in Burma. It has arrested elected officers, activists, and journalists, carried out away with even essentially the most primary civil and political rights, blocked entry to social media, and, intermittently, to the internet completely.
Most notably, it specifies that presidential candidates will need to have “army imaginative and prescient” — a provision that successfully excludes women, since they are non-existent within the senior ranks of the armed forces. She explains that the present wave of protests started with a common strike by manufacturing facility workers a couple of days after the military coup. “I couldn’t sleep through the first week of the coup – I was paranoid then and I am nonetheless paranoid at evening,” said a feminist activist who most well-liked to not use her actual name for safety causes. “As a baby from a politically lively household, I remembered how my relations have been intimidated by the navy intelligence and particular department,” she mentioned. In 1988, Myanmar was engulfed for six months by scholar-led protests towards the dictator Ne Win.

Awid Women’s Rights
Kelli holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Missouri, and has reported from more than 20 nations. Cultural Survival envisions a future that respects and honors Indigenous Peoples’ inherent rights and dynamic cultures, deeply and richly interwoven in lands, languages, spiritual traditions, and artistic expression, rooted in self-dedication and self-governance. Shan women within the Mong Tai Army space have additionally set up an organization in December 1993 referred to as the Women’s Association of Shan State. There is nice concern for Shan women as a result of particularly high numbers are recruited via deception and pressure or all of these blog link into sexual slavery/prostitution into Thailand. Reducing the gender gap requires that we put a gender lens on every thing we do. CGAP CEO Greta Bull writes that with out totally including women, we won’t remedy financial inclusion or, for that matter, end excessive poverty and promote shared prosperity. There is no doubt in my mind that there is a chance for extra know-how platforms and networks to help female entrepreneurs take cost of their lives during and after the COVID-19 crisis, by starting and scaling companies that raise up different women.
Myanmar accused him of violating ASEAN non-interference principles and using the difficulty for domestic politics; Malaysia retorted that Myanmar was pursuing “ethnic cleaning” and destabilising South East Asia.

The training’s first three months are dedicated to life expertise similar to private hygiene, cancer awareness, maternal and child well being, and childcare. The subsequent 4 are spent having the ladies follow their kitchen abilities by cooking and baking the big variety of meals that contributes to the non-proft’s revenue generating actions.

Where the secular state fails to supply this “civic education”, the monastic order might intervene. This explains why, while MaBaTha is broadly seen by non-supporters as spreading hate speech, intolerance and conflict, the vast majority of its supporters imagine the organisation’s very existence promotes peace in plural communities. MaBaTha is led by broadly-revered and charismatic monks who’ve far higher legitimacy on religious points within the eyes of many Myanmar Buddhists than the government or state religious authorities. Nowhere is that this clearer than in the sturdy assist for MaBaTha amongst nuns and numerous laywomen’s organisations – despite MaBaTha’s help for what many see as misogynistic objectives similar to laws that limit women’s right to marry whom they choose. For many – male and female – MaBaTha offers not solely a strong, well-funded channel for participation in group-help activities, but in addition a sense of belonging and course in a context of rapid societal change and few jobs or different opportunities for youth. Furthermore the Constitution leaves victims of sexual violence and different crimes with no avenue to justice. Against a political backdrop of oppression and violence, women’s standing in Burma is worsening.
The Country’s Most Well-known Politician Could Also Be A Girl, But Burma Remains Firmly Within The Grip Of Patriarchy
Since the start of the political transition in 2011, Buddhist nationalism in Myanmar has turn out to be significantly more visible. As authoritarian controls have been lifted after years of repression, deep-seated grievances emerged into the open, and new freedoms of expression allowed people and the media to provide voice to these grievances in ways that weren’t potential before. Newly out there telecommunications mixed with entry to social media accelerated the spread of nationalist narratives, rumours and hate speech. A wave of anti-Muslim violence swept across the country beginning in June 2012. At the tip of the First World War, anti-colonial leaders established Wunthanu organisations throughout the country to mobilise the largely uneducated rural population in assist of the nationalist motion. The emphasis on restoring traditional Buddhist values struck a chord with many village women who had misplaced their occupations and legal rights under colonial rule. In parallel, it ought to tackle the underlying grievances that lead individuals to support exclusionary nationalist narratives, which are partly financial.
Yet these efforts have been largely ineffective at weakening the attraction of nationalist narratives and organisations, and have probably even enhanced them. Local traffickers use misleading tactics to recruit men and boys into pressured labor on oil palm, banana, and rubber plantations; in jade and precious stone mines; in bamboo, teak, rice, and sugarcane harvesting; and in riparian fishing.

Weddings can be stuffy, but when the guests are all dressed as comic book heroes and villains it takes the edge off.
Sharon and Neil Vaughan love cosplay so much they decided to expose their secret identities and get married as Wonder Woman and Batman instead of as regular Joes. The UK couple wanted all of their guests to get in on the action too, which made for one giant superhero wedding.
“I have always wanted to be Batman, ever since I was a little boy, and Sharon said she had always wanted to be Wonder Woman,” Neil told the Daily Mail. The Vaughans spent a total of around $450 on their outfits, which is less than the typical wedding dress alone can sometimes cost. The savings were reflected throughout the wedding’s expenditures, with Sharon revealing: “Our wedding was absolutely amazing and it cost us less than some couples would spend on just the dress.”
The VIPs of the wedding complimented the groom, with Robin as best man and the Joker as master of ceremonies. Sharon made her entrance to the Wonder Woman television series theme. Guests dressed up as everyone from Watchmen’s Rorschach to Wolverine to the star of Kick-Ass. The pink Power Ranger was also spotted, as was a mini-Iron Man. Though he’s not a superhero, the wedding still allowed Yoda to attend.
Sharon called her wedding a “great day” and Neil says the couple just “wanted to have a fun day with our friends.” I think this sounds much better than any traditional wedding, though I wonder if some of the guests took the opportunity to cosplay too far. Let’s hope the ceremony wasn’t interrupted by too many cries of: “Hulk… SMASH!!”

10 charged in Kane County jail fight
Ten inmates at the Kane County jail face felony charges for their roles in a March 5 fight in the day room of a cell block, authorities said.
Lt. Pat Gengler, spokesman of the sheriff's department, which oversees the jail, said rising gang tensions precipitated the fight.
Charges were filed early this week, records show; Gengler said it took time for authorities to determine what happened.
"This was inmate on inmate," Gengler said. "I believe any injuries were able to be handled by our jail medical staff. It took some time to sort out the incident and to investigate the situation before we were able to get charges."
No serious injuries were reported, which was a contrast from a Feb. 27 case at the jail in which Damarcus D. Gilmore, 19, of Chicago, was charged with severely beating Kennrith Foster, 48, an Indiana man accused of attempted murder in Sugar Grove. Foster ended up in a hospital's intensive-care unit for "severe head trauma and bleeding to the brain" and will need facial reconstruction surgery, records show.WCharged with felony aggravated battery or mob action in the March fight are: Johnathan M. Cerritos, 23, of Carpentersville; Francisco J. Espinoza, 27, of Elgin; Michael A. Giacomino, 31, of Elgin; Jorge L. Guzman, 22, of Aurora; Luis S. Lopez, 25, of Aurora; Anibal M. Ramos, 21, of Aurora; Bennie R. Ross, 26, of Carpentersville; Jorge Soto Jr., 28, of Elgin; Dameian J. Totton, 18, of Aurora; and Jovan T. Young, 24, of Aurora.
Gengler said no additional charges are expected.
The felony charge of aggravated battery has a punishment ranging from probation to up to five years in prison. Mob action is punishable by up to three years in prison but also is eligible for probation.


If you haven’t heard of LEEPA, you will need to buckle yourself up as she is on a trajectory to becoming an international sensation, not only for her shattering vocals but as a key figure for fashion, feminism and merciless realism. Her new release Brain Freeze offers a reminder of what it's like to be young again, with a grunge-pop style throughout which combines with her inspirations to create something refreshing.
LEEPA’s previous releases have drawn up impressive figures and generated a dedicated fanbase worldwide. After a series of EP’s and singles LEEPA has amassed herself over 150,000 dedicated monthly listeners on Spotify and is on a trajectory for success with the release of her refreshing album Brain Freeze. After becoming a viral sensation on Tiktok in the midst of the pandemic, she went on to perform at Climate Live and Fridays for Future, and shared a stage with Milky Chance. Personally, Brain Freeze is a reminder of the 2000’s era of Paramour with a modern and youthful twist inspired by elements of hip-hop, rock and R&B.
Brain Freeze starts with nostalgia infused pop song "Blood", which is about her issues and fear of being broken apart in a relationship. It’s full of hard-hitting lyrics and distorted, grunge-like production sounds, which add to its feeling of anger and distress within her experiences. This explosive first track is followed by "18", a contrasting track with its light acoustic guitar, which shows her soft side within a breakup and her self reflection on the situation. Both tracks boast impressive vocal production throughout, and demonstrate why LEEPA is on a path to become the new pop star everyone knows about. As the EP flows, we see LEEPA explore angsty, pop-punk frustration on tracks such as "i'm sorry, are you" and "second firsts"- showcasing the artists versatility and ability to rebrand older genres with a 2022 edge. The EP is a one of a kind, and brings back youthful memories to most as well as being a motivating energetic sound that’s encouraging and moving.
Brain Freeze is out now Via Columbia Records Germany.

«SODIUM NUCLEINATE »
SODIUM NUCLEINATE VETERINARY DRUG FOR IMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT OF ANIMALS AND BIRDS
In recent years, the immunomodifiers used in the veterinary clinical practice for correction of immunodeficiency states of animals occurring under the influence of various adverse factors attract an extensive interest of research scientists and practitioners. Immunomodifiers are used due to worsening environmental situation and the increasing body burden of adverse anthropogenic factors, the growth of immune-dependent abnormalities, as well as the inefficiency of traditional methods of treatment of diseases, increase of pathogens’ resistance to drugs. The number of immune modulating drugs introduced in medical and veterinary practice has been steadily growing. In this situation, one should give preference to drugs of natural origin among which the nucleic acids have the most effective action, and above all, the RNA sodium salt, sodium nucleinate obtained by hydrolysis of baker's yeast.
SODIUM NUCLEINATE has a broad range of biological activity, accelerates regeneration processes, stimulates autarcesis factors, increases migration and cooperation of T- and B-lymphocytes, phagocytal activity of neutrophiles. Sodium nucleinate stimulates factors of congenital and acquired immunity activating proliferation of T-and B-lymphocytes. The main pharmacological property of nucleic acids is stimulation of leukopoiesis, regeneration and reparation processes, functional activity of almost all cells of the immune system. Formulations of nucleic acid group stimulate the functional activity of neutrophiles and monocytes/macrophages, enhancing their ability to absorb and kill the absorbed bacteria, enhance anti-infectious resistance to pathogenic microorganisms, probably, due to the stimulation of phagocytosis, increase the functional activity of T-lymphocytes, proliferation of B-cells and antibodies synthesis. Preparations of this group have antioxidant properties, which is manifested in their ability to remove free radicals from the body.
The great advantage of sodium nucleinate over other drugs of similar purpose is the lack of species specificity, side effects and severe immunological activity when administered orally.
SODIUM NUCLEINATE is manufactured as 0.2 % aqueous solution of low molecular fragments of yeast RNA sodium salt, packaged in ampoules and vials of 1.0–500 ml.
SODIUM NUCLEINATE is used in the complex treatment of all types of agricultural animals, small pets and birds as immune stimulating agents for diseases involving the development of immunodeficiency, including agranulocytosis and leukopenia, as non-specific means for enhancing prevention and treatment of viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic diseases as well as for enhancing the effect of immunization with the prior or simultaneous use of the vaccine. It’s determined that the drug increases the immunogenic activity of vaccines, promotes the formation of a post-vaccination and post-infection hyperimmunity in salmonellosis, colibacillosis, rotavirus and coronavirus infection of calves and in salmonellosis of piglets and infectious diseases with complex etiological structure. The use of sodium nucleinate is efficient in immunodeficiencies of young stock of different age periods. In this case, the drug had an evident preventing and therapeutic effects, morbidity rate decreased and livability of animals increased.
The drug is effective for the prevention and removal of the effects of stressful states of animals during transportation, in the preoperative and postoperative periods, as well as in the treatment of a variety of non-contagious diseases in combination with other drugs.
Course of treatment is from 3–5 days to 30 days according to the instructions for application.
SODIUM NUCLEINATE is administered to animals by subcutaneous or intramuscular injections, it is also administered to birds with feed or water, and birds are also treated with aerosol. This shows that the prevention effect of the drug is associated with increased nonspecific resistance of animals against pathogens, which is formed in 4 hours after administration of sodium nucleinate.
During and after use of the drug livestock products can be used without restriction.
The drug is registered by the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision of Russia.
Registration number: PVR-1-4.6/01777 as of November 14, 2006.

Meditation is the process by which one's mind is taken towards a deeper state of relaxation. The process involves focusing one's mental attention towards a single point, to fight the thoughts that cause the mind to drift away. The different types of meditation consist of different psychological processes intended to help one achieve a higher state of consciousness. It is practiced with the aim of achieving self-awareness and peace of mind.
Holosync meditation involves listening to music that consists of binaural beats, which possess the capacity to change a person's state of consciousness. During this form of meditation, a person is made to listen to beats of two different tones at the same time. One's mind processes the difference in tones as a lower frequency binaural tone. These audio signals cause the mind to resonate and bring about a change in one's brain wave pattern. It is the tonal frequencies of these sounds that affect the conscious state of one's mind.
Bill Harris developed this meditation in the '80s, to be used as the means for personal growth and a vehicle to bring a positive change in one's living.
This type of meditation differs from traditional meditation in many respects.
- Firstly, it does not require absolute silence.
- Minor distractions cannot break the meditative state.
- With this meditation, one requires minutes to acquire a meditative state, as opposed to hours required in the traditional method.
The benefits one is likely to experience with the practice of this type of meditation include, better quality of sleep, reduced stress, increased happiness, improved relationships, increased productivity, and improved mental abilities. Though the benefits are similar to those reaped from traditional meditation, the difference is in the time in which the effects start showing. Holosync meditation gives fast results.
The plasticity of the brain waves is said to increase through the practice of Holosync meditation. It is comparatively easier to practice, yet as rewarding as any other form of meditation.

No. 3 Women's Volleyball Sweeps No. 11 UCLA, 3-0
Nov. 9, 2001
Stanford, Calif. - The third-ranked Stanford women's volleyball team notched its ninth win over a ranked opponent this season with a 3-0 victory over No. 11 UCLA tonight in front of a season-high crowd of 4,351 at Maples Pavilion. Game scores were 30-23, 30-23, 30-18.
The Cardinal improve to 22-2 on the year, 13-1 in the Pac-10 while the Bruins drop to 14-7 overall, 9-5 in the Pac-10.
'I thought we came out aggressive tonight,' said head coach John Dunning. 'That was the key. Things went really well for us. Robyn (Lewis) played well tonight and made good choices. Ogonna (Nnamani) and Logan (Tom) were hot tonight and she went to them. It was pretty great.'
In game one, Stanford ran out to an 8-2 lead on a Logan Tom service ace and extended the lead to 13-4 on a kill by Sara McGee. The Cardinal reached 18-8 on a kill by Tom and went up 23-11 on a block by McGee and Ogonna Nnamani. With Stanford leading 27-16, the Bruins rallied off five consecutive points to reach 21-27. A kill by Tom ended the rally and put the Cardinal within two points of victory. A kill by Nnamani gave Stanford game point at 29-22. Another Nnamani kill sealed the game at 30-23. Stanford hit .412 for the game while Tom had six kills and Nnamani had five.
UCLA jumped out to the early 7-4 lead to open game two but the Cardinal tied up the game at 7-7 on a Bruin error. With the game tied at 10-all, Stanford went on a seven point run to go up 17-10. UCLA pulled to within four at 13-17, forcing a Cardinal timeout. Stanford pushed on to reach 21-15 on a Logan Tom kill and 25-20 on a Tom's third service ace on the night. A Nnamani kill put the Cardinal at game point at 28-22 and a Bruin hitting error gave Stanford the 30-23 win. Tom had eight kills while Nnamani had nine in game two.
Game three began close with the two teams tied at six-all. Stanford slowly began to pull away, then at 10-8, the Cardinal strung together four points to go up 14-8. A kill by Tara Conrad gave Stanford the 18-10 lead and a block by Sara McGee and Ogonna Nnamani forced a UCLA timeout at 23-12. Logan Tom's kill at 27-15 put Stanford up by 12, but back-to-back kill by Bruin Lauren Fendrick and a Cardinal miscue pulled UCLA closer at 18-27. But the Cardinal would reach game and match point on a Nnamani kill and a block would give Stanford the 30-18 victory.
Stanford was led by Logan Tom's match-high 20 kill and 14 digs. Tom hit .543 (20-1-35) committing only one error on the night. Ogonna Nnamani contributed 18 kills and four blocks on the night. Tara Conrad checked in with 11 kills and a match-high five blocks.
Stanford hit .450 for the match while holding the Bruins to a .169 clip for the night.
Stanford is next in action on Saturday, November 10 against No. 5 USC in Maples Pavilion at 7 p.m.

Camilla Nelson in conversation
Join us for an evening with journalist and media academic at UNSW, Kerrie Davies and author Camilla Nelson in conversation.
Camilla Nelson’s newly released book, Broken explores the complexities and failures of Australia’s family courts through the stories of children and parents whose lives have been shattered by them. Camilla Nelson and Catharine Lumby take the reader into the back rooms of the system to show what it feels like to be caught up in spirals of abusive litigation. They reveal how the courts have been politicised by Pauline Hanson and men’s rights groups, and how those who they are meant to protect most – children – are silenced or treated as property. Exploring the legal culture, gender politics and financial incentives that drive the system, Broken reveals how the family courts – despite the high ideals on which they were founded – have turned into the worst possible place for vulnerable families and children.
This event is free to attend but bookings are essential.

State police or provincial police are a type of sub-national territorial police force, found particularly in North America, South Asia, and Oceania. Some other countries have analogous police forces, such as the provincial police in some Canadian provinces. Particularly in the United States, the primary goals of most state police agencies are the safety of motorists on interstate highways, and the enforcement of traffic laws on those interstate highways, but can also involve statewide law enforcement and criminal investigation.
Each state of Australia has its own state police force. Municipalities do not have police forces and it is left to the state forces to police all geographic areas within their respective states. Australia does have a national police force, the Australian Federal Police, whose role is to enforce the laws of the Commonwealth, both criminal law and civil law, as well as to protect the interests of the Commonwealth, both domestically and internationally. The AFP does, however, provide 'state' policing for the Australian Capital Territory, Jervis Bay Territory, and Australia's other external territories such as Norfolk Island.
Prior to the Federation of Australia, each Colony within Australia had numerous police forces, but these were largely amalgamated well before Federation.


The currentpicture of the "KRITON EFSTATHIOU DILAVERIS’ S POTTERY" does not resemble anything in the period of its prosperity. The last 13 years, there have been a series of events that led building to the depreciation and destruction. The "pottery II" is a "dark spot" for the city and need for its rescue and protection is imperative.
The factthat we live near the old factory, and we experience daily the state of abandonment and destruction of this industrial shell, and the interruption of city life in this center-point, prompted us to decide to choose this land and suggest a possible solution for the development of this complex of ceramics through the rehabilitation and integration of new uses for it.
Our primary goalis to reverse the unfavorable conditions and to stop the destructive path of the buildings and the entire estate Dilaveris.
Furthermore, analyzing the data and the needs of the region, we propose the integration of new uses on the existing shells, so that the building no longer constitutes "urban void" and to participate again actively in the daily life of the city.
Our proposalincludes among other things, the conversion of old factory into an Industrial Museum, establishing a public vocational training institutes which will operate as sculpture, photography, handmade jewelry making and decoration, a multipurpose room, two classrooms of 98 and 120 people, four shops and a second chance school.
