A modern fairy tale for the twenty-first century and a second adventure for the irrepressible and highly popular Princess Smartypants. Princess Smartypants has decided she'd like to have a baby but doesn't want the husband to go with it. The King and Queen will not hear of such a plan and attempt to take her mind off it by keeping her busy. However, a crackly telephone line and a mixed-up grocery list result in Smartypants getting the baby she wants - until she discovers he has super-human strength and begins to wreak havoc around the Royal palace. Perhaps looking after a baby on her own isn't going to be as easy as she thinks! However, the baby is seen by Princess Smartypants's enemy, Prince Rottenghut, as a pawn in a plot to get his revenge and is duly kidnapped. Princess Smartypants launches a counter-attack to rescue her baby - will she see her baby again?

The famous Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab is getting some powerful new hardware. A joint project between Google, NASA, and the Universities Space Research Association, the Quantum AI Lab today announced a multiyear agreement to install a D-Wave 2X, a state-of-the-art quantum processor released earlier this year. With over 1,000 qubits, the machine is the most powerful computer of its kind, and will be put to work tackling difficult optimization problems for both Google and NASA.
The fragility of the qubits also means the computer's processor can only operate at extremely cold temperatures. The 2X's standard operating temperature is less than 15 millikelvin, a temperature far colder than outer space.
The computer operates at 15 millikelvin
"Working with the D-Wave processors has helped us develop and fine-tune models of quantum annealing," Google's Hartmut Neven, head of the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab, said in a statement. "We look forward to the continued advancements coming from each generation of D-Wave systems."
But while the lab moves to test the new machine's capabilities, there are still real questions about whether D-Wave's approach to quantum computing will yield results. Benchmarking tests on D-Wave's previous models have failed to find evidence of the so-called "quantum speedup" — the exponential increase in computing power that makes quantum computing so appealing. D-Wave has proposed alternate benchmarks that show something closer to a speedup, but for most experts, the debate is still unsettled.
At the same time, D-Wave's computers aren't Google's only play in the quantum computing space. The company's biggest rival in the quantum computing space is a team of scientists from UC Santa Barbara team that was hired by Google in 2014. Where D-Wave chains together hundreds of qubits with higher error rates, the UC Santa Barbara group is working with smaller numbers of more reliable qubits, and struggling to maintain low error rates at the scale of the D-Wave machine. It remains to be seen which model has the better shot — but if either one succeeds, Google will have first pick of the results.

Everton's majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri is due in Liverpool later today to make a decision on the future of Marco Silva.
Silva is braced for the sack after the Blues slipped into the bottom three last night following the 5-2 humbling against Liverpool at Anfield .
Moshiri was not at the 234th derby but decided to sleep on Silva's situation before making his next move.
Silva now fears being axed and Moshiri is due to hold face-to-face talks with the beleaguered Everton manager this afternoon.
The Portuguese coach has been at Finch Farm today , preparing for Saturday's clash with Chelsea but it appears his 18 month reign at Goodison will be brought to an end later today.
David Moyes has been seen as the favourite to replace Silva, should be sacked, on an interim basis with the possibility to bringing Tim Cahill in as his No2 discussed.

Indonesia parliament commission drops request to audit central bank
[JAKARTA] Indonesia's parliament has dropped a request for an investigative audit of the central bank, a lawmaker said, after several closed-door hearings with Bank Indonesia's (BI) governor.
Some lawmakers from Commission XI, a parliamentary commission overseeing financial matters, called for the audit in January after the central bank lost more than US$15 billion in nine months defending the rupiah currency.
Yet, the rupiah still weakened by more than 10 per cent for all of 2015, making it the second worst perfoming currency in Asia last year after Malaysia's ringgit.
"BI's explanations in those meetings were quite clear so there are no more actions we will take. In this case, no investigative audit," commission member Johnny Plate told Reuters on Thursday.
The rupiah appreciated in December after the Federal Reserves raised US interest rates and eliminated some global uncertainties.
The currency has continued to strengthen in 2016, gaining more than 2 per cent against the dollar, despite two interest rate cuts by the central bank.
BI also managed to prop up reserves. Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves at end-January was about US$2 billion higher than its latest low in November.
Plate said improving financial conditions were also a factor in the commission's decision to not pursue the audit request. "The current situation is different. BI can work normally now," he said.
However, BI is still under political pressure from the government to cut interest rates further.
On Tuesday, coordinating minister for the economy Darmin Nasution said BI should consider lowering its policy rate to 4-5 per cent, renewing pressures for BI to do more to aid economic growth.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The Colorado State volleyball spring season is quickly drawing to a close, as the Rams – two-time defending Mountain West Conference champions - continue training and preparation for their exhibition finale against one of the top professional teams in the world, Tianjin (China) Bridgestone.
The Tianjin Bridgestone squad, which last week collected its eighth-overall and fifth-consecutive league championship - has arrived in the U.S. and begins its exhibition tour this week with matches against Big Ten opponent Illinois (Tuesday) and future Big Ten member Nebraska (Saturday), before coming to Fort Collins to take on the Rams. The team will then conclude its tour in California, playing matches against Concordia and UC Irvine.
The match between Tianjin and the Rams is scheduled for April 26 at 7 p.m., and will be played under international rules. It will count as the fourth-and-final competition date allowed by the NCAA during CSU’s offseason workouts.
General-admission tickets are just $5 for adults and $2 for youth (17 and under), while all full-time CSU students will receive free admission with a valid student I.D. card. All tickets will be sold the night of competition at the Moby Arena box office located on the north concourse. Doors will open at 6 p.m.

South Korean firm IMM Private Equity closed its latest fund, IMM RoseGold PEF III, at 1.25 trillion won ($1.15 billion; €995 million) this week, Private Equity International reported.
According to PEI data, the amount of capital raised by South Korean fund managers has declined in recent years, notably between 2013 and 2014, when fundraising halved.
With two months to go before the end of 2016, fundraising is yet to meet last year’s total and the number of funds is also down. Three of the six vehicles to have closed this year amassed less than $70 million each, including STIC Global Investment Private Equity Fund and 2015 KIF-Premier IT Fund (Premier Venture III) which closed on $66 million and $35 million, respectively.
However, looking ahead, vehicles in market managed by South Korean firms suggest an upwards shift in fundraising by local managers. The two largest vehicles – Multi Asset Global Investment’s Growth Ladder fund and MBK Partners’ recently launched fourth fund – are seeking $5.2 billion and $4 billion, respectively.

Chester tourist attraction that’s booming with thousands of visitors
A Chester dark tourism attraction has reported that a growing love of the macabre seems to be behind its bumper visitor figures for April.
Sick to Death, based in St Michael’s Church in Chester city centre, has reported a successful month to date, with around 4,000 visitors having already walked through the doors. The total for April 2022 was around 3,000 visitors.
The attraction offers visitors a chance to explore and learn about the history of medicine via a number of interactive exhibits. It describes itself as ‘a playground of plague with a smatter of splatter, and a chance to poke into our medical past’.
The venue’s humorous take on what could be seen as a grim subject has proved a hit on social media, with many people visiting after enjoying its videos on TikTok. Such videos have included the attraction’s resident Plague Doctor riding through the streets of Chester on a mobility scooter.
Sick to Death manager Rob Foulkes said they were delighted with the rise in visitor numbers, including the amount of visitors in what tended to be slower months for visitor attractions, such as December and January.
So, what now?
Want to know more? A chat? Demo? We’re ready when you are!
We love questions and especially talking more about ticketing within the event and tourism attraction space. We like to think we are approachable, knowledgeable and certainly the “nice people of ticketing” as we have so much industry empathy and experience.
So, feel free to get in touch for a chat or even a free, no obligation demonstration.

I wrote this post a few months ago and meant to post it then. I just ran across it again and it’s just too good of a story not to share!
This past Sunday, I was sitting in church when the pastor, Dave Butt, told an amazing story about how the electronic medical records system served as a testimony to God’s healing. I’m sure I won’t do it justice, but I simply must retell it here for your benefit.
When a patient comes to see a physician at the clinic, his or her medical record is consulted so that the doctor knows the history of the patient’s vital signs and the medications that have been prescribed. This is what the physician and Dave (who was serving as a translator) were doing for a particular patient, who we’ll call “John Doe” here. John had a history of high blood pressure and diabetes, both of which are common maladies in Haiti. Dave noticed that these issues had been well controlled on medicine and suggested that his prescriptions be refilled – and that’s when the patient revealed the most beautiful secret, something he had kept to himself until he could tell it to Dave: In the days following the earthquake, John had attended a church service at which Dave had preached about believing and trusting God. John was later meditating on this message, when an “apparition” appeared to him and promised healing, should John live this way. He resolved to do so and immediately stopped taking his blood pressure medications. A little while later, the apparition again appeared with a similar message, after which John discontinued his diabetes medications. It’s worth noting here that both blood pressure and diabetes are quite difficult to control in the impoverished and stressful conditions endured by the community the clinic serves, yet Dave and physician could clearly see that in the two years following the earthquake this patient’s vital signs and blood glucose had been within the normal range. How could this be explained but as the blessing and faithfulness of God?
I have long been a big fan of the medical records system because it improves patient care; it’s been an important collaboration between the Grace Network of churches and Vwazen Nou for this reason. However, it never crossed my mind that God would leverage this computer program as an undeniable testament of His power and goodness, like He did with John. I hope and pray that God will continue to use our meager efforts to bring glory to Himself!

If motorcycles were animals, they would surely be black. Trace their lineage back to the original bikes tearing around Southern Europe thousands of years ago and bet your bottom dollar they’d be pitch dark, coal dust, moonless night black. It’s the nature of the beast. Hell, you couldn’t buy a bike in any other colour until the 1940s. Black bikes just look so damn right. It’s some weird collective subconscious thing that’s buried deep in our psyches. Maybe that’s why, when we see a bike like tonight’s build from Belarus shop Recast Moto, we can’t help but like it. And boy, do we like it.
Of all the major manufacturers, we think it’s fair to say that Honda is the one most unmoved by current trends. Triumph, Ducati and Yamaha have all thrown their hats in the ring when it comes to appealing to a new generation of riders. But Honda has remained steadfastly traditional with their new models. CB1100 anyone? It’s easy to point and laugh, but the real losers are us. Just think of all the bikes that could be in your local Honda showroom. Bikes like this neat little tracker from Poland’s Jasin Motorcycles. With a touch of HRC and a pinch of Evil Knievel, it’s pretty much everything we’ve ever wanted in a Honda weekend warhorse.
Having owned Viragos ourselves, we know all too well that customising them without treading on anyone’s toes can be a tricky endeavour. With some of the industry’s best builders all making their mark on Yamaha’s innovative stressed-member v-twin, it’s damn hard to do anything that people haven’t seen a million times before. But with this thought in mind, Sergei from Dutch grinders Ruthless Customz took up tools and created this rather cool and decidedly unique XV interpretation. He calls it ‘The Beast’.
Time for a frank and truthful admission. This here fancy moto blog, along with all of its ilk, would be nothing without the photographers. How many words would you read about a cool bike without all the pretty pictures? After all, writing about motorcycles is like dancing about architecture, no? One of Europe’s main moto lensmen and someone to who we personally owe a great deal of thanks to is Germany’s Marc Holstein. With a clear and infectious passion for photography and the custom bike scene, we’ve lost count of just how many Pipeburn stories he’s shot for us. Here’s an interview with the man himself, along with the very best of his recent shots.
TW Steel is a Dutch watch manufacturer that builds quality timepieces large enough to beat a man to death with. Recently they’ve been dabbling in the custom motorcycle scene, commissioning a series of bikes based around Yamaha’s incredible, unique-looking lineup. The latest builder to throw their sizeable hat into the ring on behalf of TW Steel is Spain’s Macco Motors, with their brand spanking new XSR900 cafe racer dubbed ‘The Desperado’.
There was a time when British bikes of the ’60s could be had at a wrecking yard for chump change and the old scallywag behind the cash register was happy to see them go. But those days are over, as all that is old and oily is somehow new again with a steep price tag to match. The task is even more difficult when the object of your desire is a rare factory racer and crashing it first time out at turn two could be the most expensive ten seconds of your life. So Steve Bright from Washington State, USA, has done the smartest thing a man in his position could do. Taken a 1967 BSA B441 Victor Enduro and turned it into a factory works replica racer that wouldn’t have looked out of place in the privateer’s paddock of the day.
It’s not often we go to Italy. And it’s not often we feature mopeds, either. Hell, it’s not often that a bike goes largely unnoticed by our crack team of moto-loving freaks. But that’s exactly the perfect storm type scenario that unfolded on our recent trip to the continent. Last month, Marco and Mario from Italy’s talented OMT Garage flashed us a phone photo of his Deus Bike Build-Off winning ‘Silhouette’ Piaggio Ciao. With our focus on the show’s larger capacity offerings, we clearly let this little green gem slip under our radar. But now, many months later, we’re smitten. And not a moment too soon.
A few years ago, it would have been easy to dismiss Yamaha’s ‘Faster Sons’ and Yard Built campaigns as mere marketing exercises. But the bikes that have been created as a direct result of the program are as plentiful as they are cool. And just when you think that it might have run its course, there always seems to be yet more moto goodness to come. Germany’s WalzWerk Racing is the latest shop to team up with the Japanese giant, and their ‘Apex Ruler’ XSR700 Tracker seems to suggest that the Yard Built campaign still has plenty of go.
There’s pretty much nothing we like better than to be sent an amazing custom bike from a home builder. Wright Brother’s style, the idea of some guy starting with an old beater and emerging from their frosty and/or sweaty single car garage with a minor miracle in moto making is what really floats our, erm, float valves. And here’s a prima facie case in point. Portland’s Lars Topelmann started with a basket case Honda XL250 and somehow ended up with this. It’s not exactly the miracle of powered flight, but it ain’t far off, either.
The sun is rising, the air is cool and crisp, and the wildlife outside my tent sporadically announces the start of a new day. As my eyes open and begin to adjust, the faint scent of hickory wafts through the air as the covered embers emanate amid a semi-silent dawn. As I emerge from my tent, I see my friend Yoshi in his own shelter rustling about. My other friend Erik is at the picnic table prepping food and getting coffee ready. I turn to look over at the BMW R nineT Scrambler that brought me up here, and realize how cool it looks poised beside Yoshi’s Land Rover. I think to myself, “There’s a lot of manliness going on right here. Every weekend should be this amazing.”

My adopted son was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at the age of two.
He was non-verbal but manageable until the age of about 15. As he went through puberty, he started getting more and more aggressive whenever his demands were not met.
The aggressiveness turned into violent behaviour - hitting his parents and the maid, smashing the TV screen, throwing chairs and banging on windows and doors, among other things.
The episodes became worse and more frequent.
I would try my best but had no way to stop him, as he was bigger, taller and a lot stronger than me. Every episode ended with me or my husband calling the police and an ambulance to take him to the Institute of Mental Health (IMH). Each ambulance trip cost us between $300 and $500.
He has been in and out of IMH five times since April last year. His shortest stay at home after being discharged was four days; the longest was one month and 11 days.
We have had to deal with complaints from neighbours below our unit about noise coming from our home. Despite our best efforts to mitigate the situation, things escalated from constant text messages about the noise to the exchange of lawyers' letters.
My husband, who is a heart patient, had to retire early from his job due to the deterioration of his health from the stress of dealing with the complaints.
We decided to sell the flat and have since moved out.
It has become impossible to leave my son at home with my domestic helper while I go to work, because his unpredictable behaviour would put her in danger.
I have reached out to IMH medical social workers, Pathlight School and SG Enable for help with placing my son in a residential home. I have been informed that there is a long waiting list.
I have met and spoken to parents in a similar situation. It feels like we have hit a brick wall, and there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
The disappointment, frustration and helplessness we feel probably cannot be understood by those who are not in a similar position.
I wish that there were more residential options fully equipped with therapy and programmes for people with autism.

FF: Backset Modification Decoded: Smoke Door Requirements of the International Building Code WW: Just a little off the side 5 Comments Mario Fernandez November 18, 2020 at 2:55 pm - Reply That is most likely the cheap version of a Trapped-Key interlock. This is a very common requirement on rooms housing high voltage switchgear rooms or dangerous equipment. The key for that padlock is most likely “captive” on the cabinet that controls the power in that room and will not be released until the equipment is de-energized. This prevents anyone from entering while the equipment inside the room is energized. Most of the time I see this arrangement using specialized surface mounted deadbolts instead of padlocks and hasps as these can be left unlocked. The deadbolts also capture the key so it cannot be removed until the door is closed and locked. Without that key, you cannot energize the equipment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapped-key_interlocking Lori Greene November 19, 2020 at 12:49 pm - Reply You could be right, but I wouldn’t want to be inside of the room when someone replaces the padlock! – Lori Mario Fernandez November 24, 2020 at 10:10 am - Reply Yes indeed, I would not like to be either. However, there are very high restrictions on who goes into these rooms and there are procedures in place to avoid someone being trapped inside. Again, the padlock is the cheap way of doing this and could be very dangerous if the correct procedures are not followed, and the least of your worries is being locked in the room. A 22/0.4KV distribution transformer can kill just by being switched on. Charles a November 19, 2020 at 8:43 am - Reply High security sub station !!! Jerry Austin November 20, 2020 at 7:31 pm - Reply None of the 20 or so odd buildings I have had responsibility for maintaining allowed building owner access (in several cities) to a primary powered transformer if anything was accessible. The electric utility maintained total control over access to the high voltage transformer. A primary, high voltage supplied transformer and its conductors that were totally enclosed within a cabinet that did not allow access without physically throwing the main high voltage switch to off could be unlocked although we always kept that equipment locked. The substations had major distribution breakers that controlled major branches and these had to be accessible to the building owner’s representatives but they were supplied by 480/277 volts for the most part. People should consider that our 208/120 voltage and the frequency of the power at 60 cycles per second (hertz) is fully capable of throwing a heart into uncontrolled rhythm that would be fatal should it cross the chest.

text: Almost everyone loves to travel and experience new things along the way. This site is not a personal travel journal, but rather a way of showing the appreciation of fantastic experiences in the USA. I have seen so many travel features and blogs that seem to highlight international travel and seem to neglect the incredible beauty and diversity found right here in our own back-yard. I live in the Midwest, but have had the good fortune to travel literally from Maine to California and Alaska. I have missed so many places in between….so I hope to find them someday. I invite other readers to share about their favorite places to visit in America. Many of my blogs are focused on the National Parks system, but are not exclusive to just that topic. I want to include many travel tips from navigating travel sites, to favorite restaurants. I also like to stress the importance of how anyone’s travel experience can be enhanced by “reading up”on the area you will be visiting: learning not only the local tradition & customs but also the history that shapes the way the area is today. My hopes are that people can share on this site and help fill in the details when somebody asks: “Hey….Have you ever been to…..?” Travel experiences can truly be enhanced when we share and learn from each other.

Rain fall amounts are unbelievable with severe flooding occurring in some areas. More rain is in the forecast but hopefully the extreme weather is past us and conditions will improve.
Any window of opportunity should be fully utilize especially in irrigated fields. Every field needs to be evaluated at time of planting to ensure that good emergence occurs. This is critical because of seed availability and the shorter planting window replanting may not be an option.
Cotton planting has begun. The earliest I have been told was May 13 in Jackson County. Also cotton planting has started in the Northwest part of the state. Excellent emergence has been observed with one field “popping up” after three days. This is critical time for Thrips control. Also armyworms and cutworms have been observed in ground cover that was being planted into. Hopefully the pest will mature out or migrate elsewhere before emergence. The field will need scouting again in 4 or 5 days to see if this occurs. No additional pest have been reported.
2019 Dicamba Training
Applicators planning to use specific dicamba herbicides labelled for the Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System for soybeans and cotton must complete USDA-approved dicamba training before spraying these products this year.
“Whether you’re a certified applicator or driving the application equipment you have to be trained,” said Todd Baughman, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension summer crop weed specialist. “Even if you went through training last year, you’re still required to go through the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry approved training this year.” Only the ODAFF, Extension and the three major manufacturers – Monsanto, DuPont and BASF – are authorized to provide the training. To be certified please contact your local extension office.
Oklahoma Boll Weevil Eradication
Brenda Osborne, Director of the Oklahoma Boll Weevil Organization, based at Altus, provided the information below. Eradication of the boll weevil across most of the U.S. Cotton Belt, and in the state has been very successful and is a major contributing factor to the continued profitability of cotton production.
Since 1998 the producers of Oklahoma have spent $37,218,599 to eradicate the boll weevil and provide a maintenance program. There is still a difficult fight with this insect pest in south Texas, and we all need to do our part in keeping this pest from resurfacing in our state.
Cotton acres for past five years:
2014 – 237,523
2015 – 216,678
2016 – 299,302
2017 – 568,434
2018 – 756,397
OBWEO is preparing for the upcoming 2019 cotton season. It is our responsibility to ensure the continued success of this program. With all the talk of a significant increase in cotton acres, there are some important issues with respect to OBWEO that you need to be aware of. If you have been growing cotton for the past 3-5 years, we know where those fields are located. However, if you are a new producer or have not grown cotton in several years, we need you to provide the legal descriptions of these new cotton fields.
A Boll Weevil Assessment for harvested cotton acres is currently is $2.50 per harvested acre, which is reviewed annually. The trapping density this year is one trap per 640 acres. In areas where planted cotton acreage density is high, not all fields will actually have a trap near it. In other areas that are more isolated, each field will need a trap.
Cotton Harvesting Equipment
Cotton harvesting equipment entering Oklahoma from two eradication areas in Texas has to be certified as boll weevil free prior to movement into our state. Those areas are: the Lower Rio Grande Valley Eradication Zone (blue area on the map below) or the East Texas Maintenance Area (brown area on the map below).
A USDA-APHIS phytosanitary certificate is issued and is required before equipment can be transported from these areas. This is critical to meet USDA-APHIS requirements and prevent the re-infestation of boll weevils into eradicated areas. It is illegal to move non-certified cotton harvesting equipment from these areas into the state of Oklahoma. Contact TBWEF prior to equipment departure from these two areas, which will allow inspection of the equipment.

Prosecutors rested their death-penalty case against Zacarias Moussaoui on Thursday and the confessed al-Qaida terrorist said he intended to take the stand in his own defense at his death penalty trial.
“I will testify, Zerkin, whether you want it or not,” he said, referring to one of his lawyers, Gerald Zerkin. Moussaoui has consistently refused to cooperate with his lawyers.
Earlier Thursday, former FBI agent Aaron Zebley testified that investigators might have been able to hunt down Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers if Moussaoui had confessed before the attacks.
When Moussaoui pleaded guilty last year, he gave details that could have helped identify 11 of the 19 hijackers if he had been forthcoming when he was arrested in August of 2001, Zebley said.
After Zebley’s testimony, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema held a closed hearing and sent the jury on a half-hour break.
Zebley testified that Moussaoui’s admission that he received more than $14,000 in wire transfers from a man using the name Ahad Sabet could have allowed the FBI to go through Western Union, cell phone, calling-card and motor vehicle records, as well as leases, to identify most of the hijackers.
Brinkema’s rulings prevented Zebley from explicitly speculating what the FBI actually would have accomplished had it known this information when Moussaoui was arrested in August 2001. But the clear implication was that Moussaoui’s refusal to give a timely confession thwarted some of the FBI’s best opportunities to prevent or at least minimize the Sept. 11 attacks.
“We could have set about finding the hijackers,” Zebley said.
Details emerged after guilty plea
As it was, certain details did not come out until Moussaoui pleaded guilty in federal court in April.
On cross-examination, defense lawyer Edward MacMahon asked why the urgent pleadings of the FBI agent who arrested Moussaoui for an all-out investigation were ignored.
“The FBI has to have a confession ... before anybody listens?” MacMahon asked.
Zebley replied that the arresting agent, Harry Samit, did not know all the details that were later included in Moussaoui’s confession.
The defense also argues that it’s not relevant to look at what the results might have been if Moussaoui had confessed when arrested, because he had a right to remain silent in the face of interrogation.
Earlier in the trial, Samit said he spent four weeks warning his bosses about the radical Islamic student pilot. He said bureaucratic resistance to a thorough investigation blocked “a serious opportunity to stop the 9/11 attacks.”
Moussaoui is the only person in this country charged in the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people when al-Qaida flew hijacked planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field.
He pleaded guilty in April to conspiring with al-Qaida to hijack aircraft and commit other crimes, but he denies a specific role in 9/11. The sentencing trial now under way will determine whether he is executed or imprisoned for life, the jury’s only choices.
Terrorist plans confessed
When Moussaoui pleaded guilty, he confessed his al-Qaida membership and divulged numerous details of his terrorist plans, including his flight training, his receipt of al-Qaida money from an individual in Germany, and al-Qaida’s general plans to hijack aircraft and crash them into prominent U.S. targets.
Moussaoui was arrested Aug. 16, 2001, on immigration violations after he aroused suspicion at a Minnesota flight school. He lied to agents and insisted his flight training was for personal enjoyment.
To obtain the death penalty, prosecutors must prove that Moussaoui’s actions caused the death of at least one person on 9/11. They argue that he could have prevented or at least minimized the attacks if he had confessed and alerted federal agents to the imminent threat posed by al-Qaida.
The defense argues that nothing Moussaoui said after his arrest would have made any difference to the FBI because its bureaucratic intransigence rendered it incapable of reacting swiftly to Moussaoui’s arrest under any circumstances.
Prosecutors argue that Moussaoui was obliged to tell the truth once he decided to talk to federal agents, and that the jury can consider what might have happened if Moussaoui had confessed.
Meanwhile, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered Brinkema to make public copies of certain documents, videos and photographs the day after they are introduced as evidence. Brinkema had been withholding them until the trial’s end. The court acted in a lawsuit brought by nine news and reporters’ organizations, including The Associated Press.

May you find the same sacred blessings to support you, under the loss you sustain by her removal! She left her friends on a sudden; but the disciples of Jesus should ever watch against a painful surprize in the departure of our friends. Is it a Christian friend we have lost; a devout relative? Is this pleasing converse we have long had with them, relating to the things of a better world, now cut off for ever? and, must we therefore indulge distressing thoughts? Have we lost our Jesus too? Can we never more maintain converse with our God? Have we lost a relative, whom we hoped would bave dropped a word of comfort to us, and administered some supportiog consolation, when we were ready to be swallowed up with sorrow?--but must we, therefore, banishi every comfort, and refuse every supporting consideration ? Is not the Father of Mercies, and the God of all Consolation, our Father still, and our God, even in the most distressing moments ? Are they departed for ever, whom we hoped would have pitied when the hand of the Lord was gone out against us, that would have mourned when we mourned, and wept when we wept !--but is , not Jesus our merciful and faithful High Priest still, who pities,
the weaknesses of his people, and regards their complaints with a compassionate tenderness? Let me then, Madam, beg, that as you have honoured the character of a professor of the religion of Jesus as a tender mother, and as an affectionate relative, you would render the religion of Christ amiable, as it affords divine consolations when all things around us fail!- Let it appear to the world, when you are mourning under piercing sorrows and distressing anxieties, that you have learnt that patient submission, that sweet resignation to the will of the great God, that the gospel recommends to us! Make it evident to an unbelieving and degenerate world, that the Gospel of Jesus at once directs its followers to take a becoming notice of every solemn providence,
influences the tenderest passions in rational methods in seasons of sorrow,-and yet teaches them to check the excesses of these painful feelings. Give me leave then to lay before you a few short hints, that may be useful under your present trials. Remember then that you have, in former seasons, solemnly devoted yourself and all yours to the Lord ; - call to mind those times when you have alesh renewed the sacred: engageinents; and dismiss every unsubmissive thought with 'I am the Lord's, let him do with me as seems good in his sight! Call to mind that everlasting covenant that is ordered in all things and sure, which Jesus has confirmed with his blood, and which you have so often sealed at his table; and apply this to your disconsolate sonl when gloomy thoughts invade it, and say, " This covenant shall never be dissolved; this covenant affords divine relief in these hours of darkness and distress,-be this sacrer engagement, O my soul, thy salvation and thy song ! Think ofien on Jesus, as once surrounded with weaknesses and troubles, till thy soul has learned to pour out its complaints into his bosom, as a merciful and faithful
subotal renewable Lored mene
Mediator, and to leave them in his hand ! Reflect often on God as an all-sufficient portion, and afresh take him as your exceeding great reward.' Often meditate on that rest that remains for the people of God, and learn to make your soul long for its dismis sion thither, when you find distress and anguish perpetually surround you here, in this wilderness. I am, Madam," ;
Yours in all Christian services, .
The church of God is a family, and should possess all its distinguishing characteristics. It is not earth-born; and, therefore, cannot be known by its open malice, its concealed rancour, its smooth dissimulation, its base, selfish, and unbrotherly prin: ciples :-it is Heaven-born, - Jehovah is its Parent;- its mem, bers are' led by his Spirit,' and are, therefore, his children: Jesus is the Elder Brother, in whose name the whole family in Heaven and earth is named ;' and his meek and quiet Spirit is diffused throughout it. Hence liberal charity, sympathetic feeling, reciprocal affection, and implicit confidence, should firmly exist among them in all simplicity, sincerity, and spirituality. In proportion as it is so, they will sorrow, rejoice, pray, and praise, in unison : they will watch over each other with godly concern, and receive the admonitions of their brethren affectionately, joyfully, and humbly, abhorring self-confidence and dreading self-esteem. Hence the language of the Psalmist will be Frequently their language : Let the righteous smite me, --it shall be a kindness; let him reprove me,it'shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head ; for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamity. Surely, the Psalmist saw the excellence of brotherly reproof. How affectionately he invites it, cordially approves it, and gratefully receives it! - Let us briefly and simply dilate these ideas. *. Affectionately to invite reproof, is a gracious symptom of a soul renewed ; and cannot exist amidst the self - complacency, empty arrogance, and tyrannic superciliousness of nature. There are complicated evils to which believers are exposed, and a sense of which will conduct them to this amiable disposition, Shall we mention some ? 1. Their exposure to temptation will lead to this disposition. It convinces them that means of precaution, as well as of actual resistance, must be adopted against their enemies; and in addition to free access at the throne of grace, and a complete habiliment of armour, the affectionate invitation of reproof, from experienced warriors, when necessary, will form a strong bulwark of defence against the unexpected attacks of enemies, incessant and subtile in their operations. While we stand,
let us take heed lest we fall. Dreadful stratagems may be laid for us, of which we are not aware; but our brethren, who have seen the field of war, may discover our danger, and avert, by their friendly admonitions, the impending calamities.
2. Their views of the deceitfulness of sin will lead to this dise position. In their hearts exist former principles : they are not utterly eradicated, though subdued. Depraved nature and a deceitful heart require a strong guard; lest leagues be formed between them and the great enemy; and, from this coincidence, fatal circumstances follow. Sin is sophisticating, is insinuating; like the cameleon, it can suit various circumstances and assume a variety of colours, - it can assume the lovely appearance of innocent amusement or harmless simplicity; and thus yeiling its hideous form, it will infatuate the mind, debilitate the reason, captivate the affections, inflame the passions, and plunge the soul in a labyrinth before it is aware. Deprecating this evil, let. us affectionately invite our brethren to exhort us, while it is called To-day, lest we be hardened through the deceitfulness of
3. Their liableness to declension will lead to this disposition. We should ever guard against this bane of religious progress. When we are the subjects of it, we are most insensible of its pers nicious tendency: then how appropriate the alarming reproof, 6 Ye did run well,' what now can hinder you?
David cordially approyes religious admonition; and it is worthy,
1, Because of the character from whom it proceeds: the righteous. He is eminent in piety, extensive in experience, affectionate in regard, and soft in sympathy, i
2, Because of the motives from whence it flows. It is not pharisaical ostentation : he does not wish to eclipse the character of his brother to display his own excellence, and thus to shine at his expence. He is a bad man who pries into a brother's imperfections, to make them generally and severely conspicuous. Alas! there are some who, from pretensions to purity, make impertinent enquiries into the characters of the absent; and, from ā show of delicacy, delegate some other as monitor, who is sure to promulgate and aggravate the circumstance. This surely is not the Spirit of Christ! Such despicable characters resemble the favning minion, whose insatiable ambition has conducted him to the royal favour, by trampling upon the characters of others. The motives of gospel reproof flow from bowels of compassion, constraining love, and zeal for the diyine glory. ;
3. Because of the manner in which it is delivered. The unfor. tunate brother is a brother still : his feelings shall not be wounded, - he shall be taken aside, and tenderly addressed ią secrecy.
4, Because of the ingredients of which it is composed: It is not maliggant enmity, it is gentle kindpess; it is not the vial
ou pjesus love, conquecluntarea
of wrath, it is an excellent, a salutary oil, shed upon the head : it shall revive our brother, and refresh him! Faithfulness and affection are intermingled. Reproof must be faithful; and thus address the conscience, advert to circumstances, and attach to definite character. Then it will come in the language of Nathan, * Thou art the man!' - but it need not be harsh, censorious, and unfeeling. Should these diabolical principles be unfortunately intermingled, they will irritate the passions, close the avenues of access, and harden the heart. You cannot delight to wound; you probe, but it is to heal ; - you pour the balm of compas. sion, and you point him to the blood of Jesus. This is God-like; for thus does Jehovah, when, by the cords of love, he draws sinners to himself. This is the way in which he conquers their - hearts, subdues their rebellion, and makes them the voluntary subjects of the Lord Jesus. Let us do likewise with our brethren. If one be overtaken in a fault, those who are spiritual shall restore him, in the spirit of love and meekness. So Paul did
to the poor backslider at Corinth he had grievously sinned, - he was justly smitten; but it was with affliction, with anguish of heart, and with many tears. The tender, the amiable Paul, wrote again, 'Give him not up to utter despair ; forgive him, cunsole him, receive him!'-Let us admire, let us iinitate this!
They will gratefully receive it; and their prayer shall be for us in our calamity, when we are in similar circumstances, when we are in spiritual darkness, in providential adversity, in calamity. Let us also petition the guardian watchfulness of the righteous : let us sing
• O may the righteous, when I stray,
Smite and reprove my wandering way!
Shall never bruise, but cbeer my head !'
To the Editor. I SHOULD be much obliged if any of your Correspondents would give their thoughts on Job iv. 8( Angels he charged with folly') I having often heard ministers in prayer say, 'He chargeth his angels with folly ;' and others, who seem to soften the words, have prayed thus: - Thou chargest thy angels with comparatite folly. Now, as the words are spoken in the past tense, I think Job must mean the fallen angels or devils; and, therefore, I cannot join in prayer with those who use the words in the present tense.-A few thoughts on the above will oblige your constant reader,

The Toleration Act, and other Statutes relating to Protestant Dissenters.
INTIMATION having been given in Parliament, of an inten« tion to make some Regulations, in order to prevent the abuse of the Toleration Act; and also, as it is understood, to restrain Itinere ant Preachers, we apprehend that a full statement of the privi. leges now enjoyed under that and some subsequent acts, will be acceptable to our readers.
That the high degree of religious liberty at present possessed may be duly valued, it may be proper to take a retrospective view of the sufferings of the Paritans and Nonconformists previ. ous to the Revolution.
Very soon after the Reformation from Popery, a difference of opinion began to discover itself anong good men, concerning lesser matters, which ought always to have been held as nonessential. Bishop Hooper objected to the Episcopal habits; but the Bishops Cranmer and Ridley refused to consecrate him, unless he would wear them. Some wished to retain various observances used in the Roman church, for the sake of gaining the Papists; while others thought that the church ought to be reformed fully, according to the Scriptures. The latter party obe tained the name of Puritans. When the Act of Uniformity took place, in the reign of Charles II. they were called Noncon. formists; and when the Toleration Act was passed, they were styled Dissenters.
In the early days of the Reformation, the true principles of re. ligious liberty were not understood by any party of Christians. They all aimed at an impossibility, - exact uniformity; whereas • the unity of the Spirit, in the bond of peace, 'is all that we have a right to expect in this state of imperfection; but, for many years after the Reformation, the ruling party thought they ought to make their own practice the standard for all others. Hence, when Queen Elizabeth ascendeil the throne, she assumed to berself all that ecclesiastical authority which her father, Henry the Eighth, wrested from the Pope ; and though she was determined to maintain the Reformation, yet she was too much afraid of offending the Papists, was too fond of Popish pageantry, and very jealous of her authority in church affairs. She made the terms of conformity so narrow, that many excellent mel, among whom were Fox and Coverdale, could not comply with them; and the church was deprived of the labours of some of the best preachers in England, when there were 8000 parishes without preaching ministers. Out of 100 of the London clergy,

Titan’s Gauntlet, Variant (5e Equipment)
From D&D Wiki
Weapon (Runearm), very rare (requires attunement)
This runearm is particularly heavy, much larger and bulkier than a normal arm for its wielder's size. As such, it comes with a special chest harness to redistribute weight. In exchange, the numerous enchantments applied to it give it significant momentum and crushing power, as well as a fair amount of durability. As the gauntlet’s tunes draw directly from the wielder’s strength, it becomes more powerful as you level. It weighs 30 lbs., and deals 1d8 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage.
Defensive Strike (Level 1)
After swinging your Titan’s Gauntlet, your runearm remains raised in front of your body, perfect for blocking attacks. When you make a successful attack with this Runearm, your AC increases by 2 until your next attack. You can not benefit from this and a shield at the same time.
Crushing Might (Level 5)
You've learned to trust in the strength of the Titan's Gauntlet, unleashing its full force without fear of losing your balance or tearing your arm from your socket. When you make the attack action on your turn, you can choose to preform a single attack with the titans gauntlet that deals an extra die of damage (2d8).
Momentum (Level 7)
Your runearm has a form of magical propulsion, allowing you to swing your arm with enough might to carry you through the air. When using an action to dash, your running and standing jump distance is doubled, and you may make a single attack with this weapon as a bonus action. If you jumped and dashed on this turn, then as a bonus action you can make a single attack with this weapon against each foe within 5 feet of where you land.
Oppressive Power (Level 11)
All damage dealt with this weapon increases by 1d8.
Seismic Shock (Level 16)
If you damaged a medium or smaller sized enemy with Momentum's effect, and the damage you dealt is higher than the weapon's average damage roll, the target must make a Strength saving throw with a DC of 8 + your Strength + your proficiency bonus or fall prone.

Justice League Dark #14
Written by James Tynion IV
Art by Alvaro Martinez Bueno
Inks by Raul Fernandez
Colors by Adriano Lucas
Letters by Rob Leigh
The Rundown: Circe gathers her new team as she prepares to begin the Witching War.
Diana is summoned in her dreams by a desperate Zatarra to warn the Amazon about her new connection to magic and how it could possibly be exactly what her enemy needs to end it forever. When the Upside Down Man appears to stop Zatarra from finishing his warning, Diana awakens to call her team for help. Unfortunately, the rest of the team is busy taking out a nest of Vampires that have taken over a local church.
When Diana makes a trip to the Oblivion Bar, she and Constantine discuss the upcoming crisis Diana fears and the amazon finally discovers who is behind it all. What she doesn’t know is the scope of Circe’s plans and that she has recruited a team of her own to carry them out.
The Story: James Tynion IV has done some great work with these characters and the storylines in this series. This issue is building to some amazing and interesting developments for the characters and the evolution of the conflicts make for some great drama worth following. I really love the team that Circe is building and I expect it to match Justice League Dark in both power and purpose. I can’t wait to see where this story goes next.
The Art: Alvaro Martinez Bueno always delivers some beautiful and detailed art work and this issue is no exception. Everything from the characters to the action looks fantastic.

The launch vehicle actually planned for the Lunar Orbit Rendezvous approach to lunar landing. The Saturn C-5 was selected instead to have reserve capacity.
LEO Payload: 99,000 kg. to: 185 km Orbit. at: 28.0 degrees. Payload: 32,000 kg. to a: Translunar trajectory. Liftoff Thrust: 2,752,250 kgf. Total Mass: 2,347,180 kg. Core Diameter: 10.1 m. Total Length: 76.0 m. Flyaway Unit Cost $: 58.29 million. in 1985 unit dollars.
The Ad Hoc Task Group for Study of Manned Lunar Landing by Rendezvous Techniques, Donald H. Heaton, Chairman, reported its conclusions: rendezvous offered the earliest possibility for a successful lunar landing, the proposed Saturn C-4 configuration should offer a higher probability of an earlier successful manned lunar landing than the C-3, the rendezvous technique recommended involved rendezvous and docking in earth orbit of a propulsion unit and a manned spacecraft, the cost of the total program through first lunar landing by rendezvous was significantly less than by direct ascent.
In a memorandum to D. Brainerd Holmes, Director, Office of Manned Space Flight (OMSF), Milton W. Rosen, Director of Launch Vehicles and Propulsion, OMSF, described the organization of a working group to recommend to the Director a large launch vehicle program which would meet the requirements of manned space flight and which would have broad and continuing national utility for other NASA and DOD programs. The group would include members from the NASA Office of Launch Vehicles and Propulsion (Rosen, Chairman, Richard B. Canright, Eldon W. Hall, Elliott Mitchell, Norman Rafel, Melvyn Savage, and Adelbert O. Tischler); from the Marshall Space Flight Center (William A. Mrazek, Hans H. Maus, and James B. Bramlet); and from the NASA Office of Spacecraft and Flight Missions (John H. Disher). (David M. Hammock of MSC was later added to the group.) The principal background material to be used by the group would consist of reports of the Large Launch Vehicle Planning Group (Golovin Committee), the Fleming Committee, the Lundin Committee, the Heaton Committee, and the Debus-Davis Committee. Some of the subjects the group would be considering were:
Golovin Committe studies launch vehicles through summer, but found the issue to be completely entertwined with mode (earth-orbit, lunar-orbit, lunar-surface rendezvous or direct flight. Two factions: large solids for direct flight; all-chemical with 4 or 5 F-1's in first stage for rendezvous options. In the end Webb and McNamara ordered development of C-4 and as a backup, in case of failure of F-1 in development, build of 6.1 m+ solid rocket motors by USAF.
Rosen Committee studies in November and December indicated that the most flexible choice for Apollo was the Saturn C-4, with two required for the earth orbit rendezvous approach or one for the lunar orbit rendezvous mission, with a smaller landed payload. The panel rejected solid motors again, but Rosen himself still pushed for Nova. An extra F-1 engine was 'slid in' for insurance, resulting in the Saturn C-5 configuration. The Manned Space Flight Management Council decided at its first meeting that the Saturn C-5 launch vehicle would have a first stage configuration of five F-1 engines and a second stage configuration of five J-2 engines. The third stage would be the S-IVB with one J-2 engine. It recommended that the contractor for stage integration of the Saturn C-1 be Chrysler Corporation and that the contractor for stage integration of the Saturn C-5 be The Boeing Company. Contractor work on the Saturn C-5 should proceed immediately to provide a complete design study and a detailed development plan before letting final contracts and assigning large numbers of contractor personnel to Marshall Space Flight Center or Michoud.
