Through The Bible Thursday 10-11-18 Devotions
Promises of Deliverance
30 The Lord gave another message to Jeremiah. He said, 2 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Write down for the record everything I have said to you, Jeremiah. 3 For the time is coming when I will restore the fortunes of my people of Israel and Judah. I will bring them home to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and they will possess it again. I, the Lord, have spoken!”
4 This is the message the Lord gave concerning Israel and Judah. 5 This is what the Lord says:
“I hear cries of fear;
there is terror and no peace.
6 Now let me ask you a question:
Do men give birth to babies?
Then why do they stand there, ashen-faced,
hands pressed against their sides
like a woman in labor?
7 In all history there has never been such a time of terror.
It will be a time of trouble for my people Israel.[a] Yet in the end they will be saved!
8 For in that day,”
says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
“I will break the yoke from their necks
and snap their chains.
Foreigners will no longer be their masters.
9 For my people will serve the Lord their God
and their king descended from David—
the king I will raise up for them.
10 “So do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant;
do not be dismayed, Israel,”
says the Lord.
“For I will bring you home again from distant lands,
and your children will return from their exile.
Israel will return to a life of peace and quiet,
and no one will terrorize them.
11 For I am with you and will save you,”
says the Lord.
“I will completely destroy the nations where I have scattered you,
but I will not completely destroy you.
I will discipline you, but with justice;
I cannot let you go unpunished.”
12 This is what the Lord says:
“Your injury is incurable—
a terrible wound.
13 There is no one to help you
or to bind up your injury.
No medicine can heal you.
14 All your lovers—your allies—have left you
and do not care about you anymore.
I have wounded you cruelly,
as though I were your enemy.
For your sins are many,
and your guilt is great.
15 Why do you protest your punishment—
this wound that has no cure?
I have had to punish you
because your sins are many
and your guilt is great.
16 “But all who devour you will be devoured,
and all your enemies will be sent into exile.
All who plunder you will be plundered,
and all who attack you will be attacked.
17 I will give you back your health
and heal your wounds,” says the Lord.
“For you are called an outcast—
‘Jerusalem[b] for whom no one cares.’”
18 This is what the Lord says:
“When I bring Israel home again from captivity
and restore their fortunes,
Jerusalem will be rebuilt on its ruins,
and the palace reconstructed as before.
19 There will be joy and songs of thanksgiving,
and I will multiply my people, not diminish them;
I will honor them, not despise them.
20 Their children will prosper as they did long ago.
I will establish them as a nation before me,
and I will punish anyone who hurts them.
21 They will have their own ruler again,
and he will come from their own people.
I will invite him to approach me,” says the Lord,
“for who would dare to come unless invited?
22 You will be my people,
and I will be your God.”
23 Look! The Lord’s anger bursts out like a storm,
a driving wind that swirls down on the heads of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger of the Lord will not diminish
until it has finished all he has planned.
In the days to come
you will understand all this.
Hope for Restoration
31 “In that day,” says the Lord, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people. 2 This is what the Lord says:
“Those who survive the coming destruction
will find blessings even in the barren land,
for I will give rest to the people of Israel.”
3 Long ago the Lord said to Israel:
“I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love.
With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.
4 I will rebuild you, my virgin Israel.
You will again be happy
and dance merrily with your tambourines.
5 Again you will plant your vineyards on the mountains of Samaria
and eat from your own gardens there.
6 The day will come when watchmen will shout
from the hill country of Ephraim,
‘Come, let us go up to Jerusalem[c] to worship the Lord our God.’”
7 Now this is what the Lord says:
“Sing with joy for Israel.[d] Shout for the greatest of nations!
Shout out with praise and joy:
‘Save your people, O Lord,
the remnant of Israel!’
8 For I will bring them from the north
and from the distant corners of the earth.
I will not forget the blind and lame,
the expectant mothers and women in labor.
A great company will return!
9 Tears of joy will stream down their faces,
and I will lead them home with great care.
They will walk beside quiet streams
and on smooth paths where they will not stumble.
For I am Israel’s father,
and Ephraim is my oldest child.
10 “Listen to this message from the Lord,
you nations of the world;
proclaim it in distant coastlands:
The Lord, who scattered his people,
will gather them and watch over them
as a shepherd does his flock.
11 For the Lord has redeemed Israel
from those too strong for them.
12 They will come home and sing songs of joy on the heights of Jerusalem.
They will be radiant because of the Lord’s good gifts—
the abundant crops of grain, new wine, and olive oil,
and the healthy flocks and herds.
Their life will be like a watered garden,
and all their sorrows will be gone.
13 The young women will dance for joy,
and the men—old and young—will join in the celebration.
I will turn their mourning into joy.
I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing.
14 The priests will enjoy abundance,
and my people will feast on my good gifts.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”
Rachel’s Sadness Turns to Joy
15 This is what the Lord says:
“A cry is heard in Ramah—
deep anguish and bitter weeping.
Rachel weeps for her children,
refusing to be comforted—
for her children are gone.”
16 But now this is what the Lord says:
“Do not weep any longer,
for I will reward you,” says the Lord.
“Your children will come back to you
from the distant land of the enemy.
17 There is hope for your future,” says the Lord.
“Your children will come again to their own land.
18 I have heard Israel[e] saying,
‘You disciplined me severely,
like a calf that needs training for the yoke.
Turn me again to you and restore me,
for you alone are the Lord my God.
19 I turned away from God,
but then I was sorry.
I kicked myself for my stupidity!
I was thoroughly ashamed of all I did in my younger days.’
20 “Is not Israel still my son,
my darling child?” says the Lord.
“I often have to punish him,
but I still love him.
That’s why I long for him
and surely will have mercy on him.
21 Set up road signs;
put up guideposts.
Mark well the path
by which you came.
Come back again, my virgin Israel;
return to your towns here.
22 How long will you wander,
my wayward daughter?
For the Lord will cause something new to happen—
Israel will embrace her God.[f]”
23 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: “When I bring them back from captivity, the people of Judah and its towns will again say, ‘The Lord bless you, O righteous home, O holy mountain!’ 24 Townspeople and farmers and shepherds alike will live together in peace and happiness. 25 For I have given rest to the weary and joy to the sorrowing.”
26 At this, I woke up and looked around. My sleep had been very sweet.
27 “The day is coming,” says the Lord, “when I will greatly increase the human population and the number of animals here in Israel and Judah. 28 In the past I deliberately uprooted and tore down this nation. I overthrew it, destroyed it, and brought disaster upon it. But in the future I will just as deliberately plant it and build it up. I, the Lord, have spoken!
29 “The people will no longer quote this proverb:
‘The parents have eaten sour grapes,
but their children’s mouths pucker at the taste.’
30 All people will die for their own sins—those who eat the sour grapes will be the ones whose mouths will pucker.
31 “The day is coming,” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. 32 This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant, though I loved them as a husband loves his wife,” says the Lord.
33 “But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel after those days,” says the Lord. “I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34 And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already,” says the Lord. “And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”
35 It is the Lord who provides the sun to light the day
and the moon and stars to light the night,
and who stirs the sea into roaring waves.
His name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
and this is what he says:
36 “I am as likely to reject my people Israel
as I am to abolish the laws of nature!”
37 This is what the Lord says:
“Just as the heavens cannot be measured
and the foundations of the earth cannot be explored,
so I will not consider casting them away
for the evil they have done.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
38 “The day is coming,” says the Lord, “when all Jerusalem will be rebuilt for me, from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. 39 A measuring line will be stretched out over the hill of Gareb and across to Goah. 40 And the entire area—including the graveyard and ash dump in the valley, and all the fields out to the Kidron Valley on the east as far as the Horse Gate—will be holy to the Lord. The city will never again be captured or destroyed.”

30:17 Hebrew Zion.
31:6 Hebrew Zion; also in 31:12.
31:7 Hebrew Jacob; also in 31:11. See note on 5:20.
31:18 Hebrew Ephraim, referring to the northern kingdom of Israel; also in 31:20.
31:22 Hebrew a woman will surround a man.
11 The Lord detests the use of dishonest scales,
but he delights in accurate weights.
2 Pride leads to disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.
3 Honesty guides good people;
dishonesty destroys treacherous people.
4 Riches won’t help on the day of judgment,
but right living can save you from death.
5 The godly are directed by honesty;
the wicked fall beneath their load of sin.
6 The godliness of good people rescues them;
the ambition of treacherous people traps them.
7 When the wicked die, their hopes die with them,
for they rely on their own feeble strength.
8 The godly are rescued from trouble,
and it falls on the wicked instead.
9 With their words, the godless destroy their friends,
but knowledge will rescue the righteous.
10 The whole city celebrates when the godly succeed;
they shout for joy when the wicked die.
11 Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper,
but the talk of the wicked tears it apart.
Greetings from Paul
1 This letter is from Paul, a prisoner for preaching the Good News about Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy.
I am writing to Philemon, our beloved co-worker, 2 and to our sister Apphia, and to our fellow soldier Archippus, and to the church that meets in your[a] house.
3 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
Paul’s Thanksgiving and Prayer
4 I always thank my God when I pray for you, Philemon, 5 because I keep hearing about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all of God’s people. 6 And I am praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ. 7 Your love has given me much joy and comfort, my brother, for your kindness has often refreshed the hearts of God’s people.
Paul’s Appeal for Onesimus
8 That is why I am boldly asking a favor of you. I could demand it in the name of Christ because it is the right thing for you to do. 9 But because of our love, I prefer simply to ask you. Consider this as a request from me—Paul, an old man and now also a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus.[b]
10 I appeal to you to show kindness to my child, Onesimus. I became his father in the faith while here in prison. 11 Onesimus[c] hasn’t been of much use to you in the past, but now he is very useful to both of us. 12 I am sending him back to you, and with him comes my own heart.
13 I wanted to keep him here with me while I am in these chains for preaching the Good News, and he would have helped me on your behalf. 14 But I didn’t want to do anything without your consent. I wanted you to help because you were willing, not because you were forced. 15 It seems you lost Onesimus for a little while so that you could have him back forever. 16 He is no longer like a slave to you. He is more than a slave, for he is a beloved brother, especially to me. Now he will mean much more to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.
17 So if you consider me your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to me. 19 I, PAUL, WRITE THIS WITH MY OWN HAND: I WILL REPAY IT. AND I WON’T MENTION THAT YOU OWE ME YOUR VERY SOUL!
20 Yes, my brother, please do me this favor[d] for the Lord’s sake. Give me this encouragement in Christ.
21 I am confident as I write this letter that you will do what I ask and even more! 22 One more thing—please prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping that God will answer your prayers and let me return to you soon.
Paul’s Final Greetings
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings. 24 So do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers.
25 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
2 Throughout this letter, you and your are singular except in verses 3, 22, and 25.
9 Or a prisoner of Christ Jesus.
11 Onesimus means “useful.”
20 Greek onaimen, a play on the name Onesimus.
32 At Meribah, too, they angered the Lord,
causing Moses serious trouble.
33 They made Moses angry,[a] and he spoke foolishly.
34 Israel failed to destroy the nations in the land,
as the Lord had commanded them.
35 Instead, they mingled among the pagans
and adopted their evil customs.
36 They worshiped their idols,
which led to their downfall.
37 They even sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to the demons.
38 They shed innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters.
By sacrificing them to the idols of Canaan,
they polluted the land with murder.
39 They defiled themselves by their evil deeds,
and their love of idols was adultery in the Lord’s sight.
40 That is why the Lord’s anger burned against his people,
and he abhorred his own special possession.
41 He handed them over to pagan nations,
and they were ruled by those who hated them.
42 Their enemies crushed them
and brought them under their cruel power.
43 Again and again he rescued them,
but they chose to rebel against him,
and they were finally destroyed by their sin.
44 Even so, he pitied them in their distress
and listened to their cries.
45 He remembered his covenant with them
and relented because of his unfailing love.
46 He even caused their captors
to treat them with kindness.
47 Save us, O Lord our God!
Gather us back from among the nations,
so we can thank your holy name
and rejoice and praise you.
48 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel,
who lives from everlasting to everlasting!
Let all the people say, “Amen!”
Praise the Lord!
106:33 Hebrew They embittered his spirit.

Non-binary gender >? ? Non-binary people may determine as sex fluid, agender (without sex), 3rd sex, or another thing totally.
Often non-binary individuals are contained in the broad sounding transgender individuals.

What’s the Gender Binary?
The gender binary may be the problematic idea that you will find just two genders, and all sorts of people are either female or male. Some might argue there are just two sexes, generally there should simply be two genders, but that argument is flawed.
Although we categorize many infants into female or male, there was more variety than that in terms of both gender and sex. The biology of intercourse is complex. Many people are XX or XY, however some social individuals are XXY or XO.
In addition, your chromosomes do not fully determine your intimate physiology. Some people are XY women. Other folks have systems that fall between male and female, chromosomally, anatomically, or hormonally.

Understanding where electric vehicle ownership is highest in Australia
The latest ABS Motor Vehicle Census provides an indication of how EV ownership varies across Australia. The size of the EV fleet in Australia grew by 59% in 2020.
The map below allows you to zoom in and see EV ownership trends for every postcode in Australia.
Top ten suburbs in Australia for EV ownership
The tables below identify the top ten suburbs in Australia for EV ownership. There are some suburbs that might appear surprising, such as Laverton North. We suspect that Toyota’s hydrogen vehicle testing and lending program might be responsible, rather than a large number of residents in these suburbs owning EVs.
Australia’s top ten EV suburbs are shown below, followed by the top ten for each state.
The low numbers overall reflect Australia’s generally low take-up of EVs, at about 0.7% of new vehicles sold.

Student Delegation to Meet with State Legislators in Richmond Jan. 27
A delegation of more than 50 Old Dominion University students will board a bus to Richmond on Thursday, Jan. 27, for a day at the state capitol.
They are part of ODU's Government Relations Student Advisory board, and are typically students with an interest in the legislative process. They'll spend the day meeting with state senators and delegates, and be introduced in the legislative gallery during the Virginia General Assembly session.
The students will also carry an important message to the lawmakers, said ODU Acting Dean Don Stansberry. "It's an effort to make legislators aware of the benefits of supporting initiatives that will enhance the Monarch experience for ODU students. They'll share their experience, and ask them to support it," Stansberry said.
The students have been made aware of the additional $5 million written into ODU's budget this year by Gov. Bob McDonnell, Stansberry added. By understanding and expressing appreciation for this additional support, the students can act as ambassadors for the university in pursuing further initiatives on ODU's behalf, he said.
The students will leave from campus early on Thursday morning, and arrive back at ODU after a full day in the Virginia Capitol.

Apple iPad creates opportunities, not solutions, for publishers
Wired | WSJ | Globe and Mail |NYT
While the blog-o-sphere reacts with both enthusiasm and disappointment to yesterday's Apple iPad announcement, the question for publishers remains: Is there a business model in there somewhere? Wired has a rundown on the industry impact for books, TV, film, music, newspapers and magazines. They answer perhaps most succinctly, "Apple's device is what publishers make of it."
> In The Wall Street Journal, Sean Reily seconds that emotion, saying the question for publishers is, "What are they going to do with this new set of tools? It just goes back to how good newspapers are at presenting their content and how well they can differentiate themselves."
> In the Globe and Mail, Toronto-based new media analyst Kaan Yigit calls the iPad "the best chance ... newspaper and magazine content publishers have."
> In The New York Times, David Carr calls the new device a "game changer," though one with an uncertain outlook for news publishers. He points to the splintering of delivery platforms, and price points as a challenge. "Publishing companies can't expect to offer customized pricing on separate devices -- one price for Kindle, another for the tablet, and still another for people arriving on computers -- and not be buried in a wave of second guessing."
> Print publishers should not feel alone in their uncertain outlook. The LA Weekly blog asks, "Should Hollywood Be Afraid Of The iPad?"

Informal settlers have been living along Mahiga Creek in Cebu City for about 20 years. Thirty-two families, however, lost their homes recently when the Squatters Prevention, Elimination and Encroachment Division (Speed), upon Cebu City Mayor Mike Rama’s orders, demolished about 30 shanties built within the creek’s three-meter easement zone.
Some of the displaced families were temporarily relocated inside Lot 27 of the Cebu City Impounding Area at the North Reclamation Area.
It may take a few more months before these settlers find their new home and start a new life…but how about the Mahiga Creek? How long will it take before it gets to restore its life?

Greece's largest firm leaves country, bad news for struggling nation
Coca Cola plants will continue to operate, however
In yet another blow to an economically distressed nation, Coca Cola Hellenic, Greece's largest company has announced this week that it will be leaving the country. Coca Cola's bottling plants there will continue to function. The company also said that the five percent of its business that the world's second-ranked Coke bottler has in Greece will be unaffected. But many analysts say this is grim news as Greece struggles to compete inside the euro zone.
One analyst speaking on the condition of anonymity says that the move makes perfect sense. CCH was out to rid its share price of risks associated with Greece as the nation remains bogged down in recession.
CCH, which already has secondary stock market listings in London and New York said in a bourse filing in Athens that shareholders, most of them abroad, will exchange all their stock for shares in Coca Cola HBC, based in Switzerland and that the stock will have its primary quote in London.
"A primary listing on Europe's biggest and most liquid stock exchange reflects better the international character of Coca Cola Hellenic's business activities and shareholder base," the company said in a statement.
The Coca-Cola Company of the United States has a 23-percent stake in CCH. The company ships bottles of Coke and other drinks in 28 countries from Russia to Nigeria. About 95 percent of its shareholders and business activity are outside Greece.
"This transaction makes clear business sense," chief executive Dimitris Lois told analysts. An overwhelming majority of shareholders have already accepted moving a company which has long complained about Greek taxes.
Analyst Manos Hatzidakis of Beta Securities in Athens said that the move made sense for the firm, which follows Greek dairy group FAGE, which is also seeking a low-tax, low-volatility haven for its corporate base in Luxembourg.
"The Greek bourse is losing a very good company and the London Stock Exchange is gaining a very important group," Hatzidakis says. "It's very bad news for the Greek economy and bourse."
One analyst speaking on the condition of anonymity says that the move makes perfect sense. CCH was out to rid its share price of risks associated with Greece as the nation remains bogged down in recession. There is also widespread mass discontent among the Greek population as its leaders slash budgets to meet international creditors' terms for loans intended to keep Athens inside Europe's single currency.
"This is a healthy company that does not want to suffer from Greece's high country risk," the analyst said.
Foreign investors have been steadily reducing their investment in the Athens Stock Exchange since the country was engulfed by the sovereign debt crisis in 2009. Greece's future in the 17-nation euro zone still remains in doubt.

Welcome to Oliver Harper’s Retrospectives & Reviews. Like us all at FTN, Oliver LOVES cinema, and like us he has passions that not everyone shares, but he feels obligated to put the word out. This week Oliver looks at Batman & Robin – we’ll let him tell you the aims of these videos himself. Over to you, Oliver…
Every week FTN will be hosting videos looking back at classic films from the 80s and early 90s…
The videos will be a retrospective look back at a particular film covering all sides of the production and discussing how the film turned out. Many people on the net generally like to discuss films with a negative attitude and take joy in bashing films for comedic effect which does work but often many of the reviews aren’t researched well or films are taken out of context for the purpose of making a joke and I feel websites such as youtube have become over-saturated with these types of videos, I wanted to do something different.
“Often you come across films with no extras available on the DVD and you want to know more about it, so with some of the upcoming videos I will be discussing films that don’t get the respect they deserve or the ones that aren’t as bad as people think…”
Batman & Robin (1997)
After the huge success of Batman Forever Warner Bros wanted to capitalise on the franchise quickly and went straight into production for Batman & Robin and announced it for June release in 1997. Many fans at the time felt a sequel was happening all too soon and the fans were right to worry. The movie was totally rushed out despite having a huge budget and bombed at the box office. It made a large amount of money but not enough to make any real profit.
The movie was panned heavily by critics and the fans due its awful dialogue and poor characterisations of some of the classic icons from the comics. The movie was played for laughs and was far to campy for its own good. It has often made the number 1 spot on many top 10 worst comic book movie lists. There are many issues with this film but is there anything to enjoy or good per say in this film?..lets finds out.

Baking pumpkin pies from scratch is somewhat of a tradition in my family, and ever since having had pies made from fresh pumpkin, I can't eat the ones made from canned pumpkin.
You can use this instructable to make a pie from canned pumpkin, but if you're planning on using a fresh one you should follow the instructions in my other instructable.
See the last page for a bonus recipe for homemade whipped cream with flavor booster.
Step 1: The Ingredients
Since you'll be baking, you'll probably want to make sure you have all of the ingredients before starting. The only thing that doesn't really count as 'from scratch' is the pie crusts, but that's because when I took the photos I was feeling lazy.
This recipe is based on one out of my mom's ancient Joy of Cooking cook book, but I've added a few things for extra flavor.
*1 pie crust. You can use the store bought kind (either graham cracker or Pillsbury) or make your own.
- 2 cups cooked, mashed pumpkin (450 g)
- 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk (350 ml)
- 1/4th cup brown sugar (30 g)
- 1/2 cup white sugar (60 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 2 eggs
- A pie pan
- some measuring cups and spoons
- some regular spoons for stirring
- a few assorted bowls in various sizes (about 3)
- a blender (optional, but helps)

text: The development of what was known as the Atlantic Slave Trade began to arise in the fifteenth century, as the expansion of Western Europe’s influence began to be felt in other parts of the world. West Africa would serve as the primary source of slave labor for much of the Atlantic Slave trade, though it was not the developments of European expansion that created the existence of a slave trade in Africa. For many centuries before the European need for slave labor in its colonies became a driving force of the expanding slave trade, there already existed a thriving slave trade in West Africa. The eventual slave trade that fed the labor needs of colonies in the Americas was based primarily on race, as Native American Indians and Blacks from Africa were those who were primarily enslaved. Before this time, however, Arab slave traders in West Africa enslaved Europeans, Berbers, and sub-Saharan Africans. The shifting economic conditions in the Americas and other areas would eventually change the slave trade significantly.

Austin Aries Ring Return Update, Sami Zayn Talks Samoa Joe (Video), Fans on RAW
– As noted, Samoa Joe vs. Sami Zayn is now official for Sunday’s WWE Fastlane pay-per-view. In the Fallout video below, Sami says he’s tired of people like Joe looking to take shortcuts and make a name in WWE at his expense. Sami says Joe’s nothing more than a corporate stooge with no respect and no honor. Sami says he’s going to treat Joe the same at Fastlane – with no respect.
– We noted last week how WWE began airing promos to tease Austin Aries’ in-ring debut on WWE 205 Live. That same promo aired on this week’s RAW, teasing Aries coming to wrestle in the cruiserweight division. No word yet on if Aries vs. WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville is still being discussed for WrestleMania 33.
– As seen below, 49% of fans on Twitter gave this week’s WWE Fastlane go-home edition of RAW a thumbs up with over 5100 votes:

This area is owned by the city of Norton and brand new for climbing. The SVCC is in the process of getting an MOU in place with the city. Being respectful and low key will help us proceed with this process. Also be careful for loose rock on new climbs
This is a small route climbing area with two distinct walls right next to one another. One is slabby and the other is really steep. Both are shaded and secluded. Mainly sport climbing on both.
Follow the directions to the lower reservoir and hike the trail that breaks right and away from the lower reservoir. As the trail begins downhill you will see another trail in about 100 yards that leads to a tall freestanding rock tower. Head that way, the cliffs are just beyond this tower.

The Government of India’s Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeITY) sought clarification Friday from Facebook India’s Managing Director Ajit Mohan on the algorithms used by the company to moderate hate speech and fake news on its social media platforms. The move comes just a few weeks after whistle-blower Frances Haugen testified before the US Senate accusing the tech giant of harming children, stoking division, and weakening democracy.
Haugen said that Facebook was “suffering from moral bankruptcy” since it was aware of how its platforms were being used to spread misinformed, hateful, and violent content but did not take measures for dealing with such content and chose “profits over safety.” With respect to India, Haugen provided internal company documents to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that show that Facebook was aware of Islamophobic and fear-mongering content being pushed by users affiliated with Indian nationalist organizations such as the Rashtriya Swyamsevak Sangh (RSS):
Anti-Muslim narratives targeted pro-Hindu populations with [violent and incendiary] intent… There were a number of dehumanizing posts comparing Muslims to ‘pigs’ and ‘dogs’ and misinformation claiming the Quran calls for men to rape their female family members.
Facebook failed to take action against single users operating multiple accounts despite being aware of how political parties used them to promote propaganda. The company also lacked the technical capability to flag such content written in Indian languages such as Hindi and Bengali causing troves of politically sensitive content to slip through the radar.
The Indian government released new Information Technology Rules earlier this year, which aim to bring greater accountability for big tech companies by mandating publishing of transparency reports and providing grievance redressal mechanisms to users.

The legendary Wagoneer has just been revived after so many years and the new model looks really good. After the great reception, it is time for the second production year, which usually brings no bigger changes. However, that won’t be the case this time, as the latest reports suggest that the next year is about to bring the 2023 Jeep Wagoneer Trailhawk, an off-road performance model. At this point, the officials are still quiet about this upgrade.
If it arrives, the Wagoneer Trailhawk will feature all kinds of upgrades. Of course, off-road upgrades are the first thing that comes to mind, but we also count on a lot of exclusive styling details, which will accentuate the model’s off-road character. Furthermore, some interior upgrades are possible too, especially in terms of more standard equipment. On the other hand, we don’t expect bigger changes under the hood.
We expect that the 2023 Jeep Wagoneer Trailhawk will arrive along with the rest of the lineup, sometime in the last quarter of the year.
2023 Jeep Wagoneer Trailhawk Design
Design-wise, the 2023 Jeep Wagoneer Trailhawk won’t be significantly different compared to the standard model, which debuted recently. The overall layout will be the same, but we will see all kinds of upgrades. This particularly refers to off-road performance features. The standard model is currently available with a couple of goodies, such as a two-speed transfer case, all-terrain tires, Quadra-Lift suspension, skid plates and similar things. We believe that the 2023 Wagoneer Trailhawk will bring much more than that. Some of the things that come to mind are bigger tires, further suspension upgrades, locking differentials, additional off-road drive modes and similar things.
Besides mechanical upgrades, we would expect to see some upgrades regarding aesthetics. The 2023 Jeep Wagoneer Trailhawk would come with some exclusive styling details, which would accentuate the model’s off-road character. That may refer to the grille design, wheels and similar parts.
When it comes to the interior design, this model would probably come with a couple of upgrades. Some of the things that come to mind are new color schemes and new materials, while some contrast stitching also comes to mind. Still, the overall cabin design would remain the same, which definitely isn’t a bad thing, considering that this SUV features pretty impressive interior quality.
In terms of the passenger and cargo space, things would be the same as in the other models in the lineup. So, you may count on three spacious rows of seats and a seating capacity of up to eight people. The cargo area in the standard model is good for about 27.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind its third-row seats, 70.8 cubic feet with these seats folded, and a massive 116.7 cubic feet of the total cargo volume. That’s pretty good for the segment.
The 2023 Jeep Wagoneer Trailhawk will certainly be one of the most expensive Wagoneers on the offer. So, we have no doubt that the list of standard equipment will be pretty long. All models will certainly come standard with goodies like tri-zone climate control, push-button start, keyless entry, remote start, a 10.1-inch touch screen, a 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster, navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless device charging, a Wi-Fi hot spot, Bluetooth, eight USB ports, satellite radio, and a nine-speaker stereo. We believe that the passenger’s screen could be added to the list of standard equipment as well.
When it comes to safety, the list of standard equipment should include goodies like a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist etc.
2023 Jeep Wagoneer Trailhawk Engine
This aspect shouldn’t bring any changes. We expect to see a familiar setup under the hood, which includes a good-old 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine. In this case, it puts out around 392 horsepower and 404 pound-feet of torque, which is plenty enough for good driving dynamics.
The engine comes in pair with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which does a fantastic job. Of course, the 2023 Jeep Wagoneer Trailhawk would come standard with four-wheel drive.

Teen Mom star Mackenzie McKee jokes, “That’s how it starts,” realizing she’s become a “cheer mom.” The 30-year-old MTV star and mother-of-three has got the whole world watching as she raises kids Gannon, Jaxie and Broncs, and it looks like they’re growing up fast.
The blonde posted to her 1million Instagram followers yesterday, sharing a heartwarming photo of herself with daughter Jaxie, proving that being a former cheerleading mom has its perks for little ones.
Mackenzie McKee melts hearts with Daisy Duke’s celebration
Mackenzie’s joyful snap featured a tender mother-daughter moment. The pair were seen enjoying a little cheering outside their home, facing each other on a porch and holding hands.
Body By Mac founder Mackenzie showed off her toned physique in a casual and stylish pair of high-waisted fringed Daisy Dukes, which she paired with a tight pink tank top and dark mules. Jaxie, meanwhile, wore light blue and faded spandex leggings with a cute black crop top and a large bow in her hair.
Mackenzie, who has admitted motherhood isn’t easy, showed sheer happiness as she shared a laugh with her daughter, with a slightly humorous caption.
“And so it begins. I’m a happy mom again ❤ and a coach 🤪,” the Oklahoma native wrote.
Mackenzie McKee got professional help to raise her children
Mackenzie welcomed Jaxie in 2014. She was still a teenager when she welcomed son Gannon in 2011, Bronc’s third child arrived in 2016 and via emergency C-section. The star has also admitted to turning to professional help when it comes to parenting. In an episode of Teen Mom OGyou called:
“Sometimes it’s really overwhelming so I want to get some advice,” adding, “Me and my husband… they listen to him, they don’t listen to me, but I feel like he’s being too rude and too strict.” can,” here He was referring to a parenting coordinator she spoke to on the phone.
“I just never want to hurt their feelings and I don’t respond to them, but then they respond to me.”
Referring to the 2019 loss of mother Angie Douthit, who died of lung cancer, McKee added:
“I think it got worse when my mother died because I already knew they were in pain. So of course when you know someone is in pain you don’t want to hurt them any more and I think that’s why.”
Teen Mom OG is currently on hiatus.

Tumor-targeted gene delivery has been intensively studied in the field of gene therapy, but no attention has been given to targeting the therapeutic gene products, which are transcribed and translated from the injected genes, into tumors. Targeting immune stimulatory gene products into tumors is the key to triggering tumor-specific CD8+ T-cell responses and reducing systemic toxicity. To target the gene products generated from the injected genes into tumors, genes encoding the tumor-targeted fusion gene product were generated and administered locally and systemically via electroporation. As anticipated, administration of a therapeutic gene encoding IFN-α and the tumor vessel-targeted peptide CDGRC fusion gene product minimizes the leakage of immunostimulatory cytokine from tumors into the blood circulation, increases the infiltration of CD8+ T cells into tumors, induces a high magnitude of cytotoxic T-cell lysis (CTL) activity, and reduces tumor vessel density. As a result, tumor growth was more significantly inhibited by administering the IFN-α-CDGRC gene than by administering the wild-type IFN-α gene. The same result was obtained with the systemic administration of the tumor-targeted IFN-α gene. This gene product-based tumor-targeted gene therapy approach could complement any other tumor-targeted gene delivery method for improving tumor-targeting efficiency.

Maternal Wisdom on AIG
By Rachel Dry
I should always listen to my mother. She is always right. I know this, and yet I often -- too often, I suppose -- fail to act on it.
Usually, my own mistakes and missteps are enough to remind me of the error of disputing maternal wisdom. Today is the first time that congressional Democrats helped drive home the point.
Here is a rough transcript of a conversation that my mother and I had on Sunday about the AIG bonuses:
Her: Can’t they just tax it all? Can’t they write a law to make it 100 percent taxable?
Me: I don’t think so. It’s more complicated than that. They’re contractually obligated to pay them.
Her: What do you mean? Just tax it 100 percent!
Eventually we changed the subject.
Her populist outrage is being channeled from Vermont, where, it is fair to say, there aren't many people receiving bonuses from bailed-out financial institutions. She did allow that, perhaps, there were some hard-working AIG employees who had little or nothing to do with the decisions that exposed the company to such substantial risks related to credit default swaps. But still. Why should they have all that money?
So, when I called this afternoon to refer her to the news that Sens. Harry Reid (Nev.) and Max Baucus (Mont.) and Reps. Steve Israel (N.Y.) and Tim Ryan (Ohio) essentially agreed with her, she was happy to hear that someone, somewhere thought better of letting a company that had received more than $170 billion in taxpayer bailout money in the past year dole out $165 million in bonuses.
The proposal Senate Democrats are set to unveil tomorrow to tax up to 98 percent of the bonus money seemed to her to be very similar to the windfall profits tax for oil companies. And it seemed to be a reasonable response to the situation -- more reasonable than insisting your hands are tied.
“Everybody kept saying we can’t do anything, it’s in the contract. Well, you can tax, buddy.” Indeed. Spoken like the veteran C.P.A. that she is.
Then, because she is busy at work as the director of student financial services at the University of Vermont -- where she and her colleagues are concerned that the economic downturn is creating more financial need for students than ever before -- she conceded that it was nice to be right but didn’t even take a moment to gloat. Her staff is getting out its financial aid awards to admitted students this week. So she ended the conversation with one final question: “Can I get back to work?”

It was crush at first sight when I saw this absolutely gorgeous, custom letterpress wedding invitation suite by Spoon & Sailor for Annie and Will’s June wedding. Beautiful, vintage-inspired ornaments, wonderful typography, and swoon-worthy white calligraphy come together for a look that’s both playful and elegant, and the navy blue and gold color palette, including color coordinated vintage stamps, is pitch perfect.
Here’s what Elana from Spoon & Sailor has to say about this fun project:
Annie & Will are both historians, or at the time grad students en route to becoming historians, and they were looking to create a suite with an undeniably vintage vibe – a fun and whimsical one, rather than a cold or stuffy one. We decided on 1800’s advertising as an inspiration for their wedding ephemera, focusing on a playful mix of typefaces, ornaments, frames, line work, and antique engravings.
We used the lively typography and pop of color to give the invitation a more modern freshness and the witty nature of an rsvp comprised of telegraphs and other outdated modes of communication to really punch up the whimsy! The creation of the suite for this lovely couple was so much fun, and I was thrilled with the bride’s choice of calligrapher (Neither Snow), use of vintage stamps in corresponding colors, and old fashioned twine to fully complete the vision.

International R&B Artist, DT fans await the new single, “Need You”
International R&B heartthrob, Dario “DT” Tinner (born January 4th, 1998) is a Swiss R&B recording artist and producer. He was born and raised in Saint Gall, Switzerland, and he started performing at four years old after his parents gave him a drum set for Christmas. It’s no surprise that he’s following up with a new song so fast after recently releasing his “Timing” single, which was warmly received. “Timing” was mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Beau Vallis.
On the self-produced track “Need You”, DT acknowledges that even though he sometimes acts like he doesn’t care, it’s all just a front, and he’ll do anything to keep his woman happy.
“I know sometimes I don’t care enough/ But baby every time I do, I bluff/ My credit cards will be yours, girl/ I won’t leave, you’re my world girl/ Those are more than just empty words/ Those are more than just empty words,” he sings in the third verse.
DT showcases his silky smooth vocals over a catchy, funky beat, that is sure to leave the masses nodding their heads and singing along from start to finish. “Need You” and “Emojis” are both slated for a Spring 2019 release. Be sure to connect with DT on all social media outlets and digital music platforms.

Just more than a year after acquiring Wisconsin-based AnchorBank, Old National Bank, Evansville, Ind., has agreed to purchase Anchor Bank, St. Paul, Minn. The acquisition was announced Aug. 8.
Adding the $2.1 billion Anchor Bank will grow Old National to a $17 billion institution. Between entering Wisconsin in September of 2016 and this announced deal bringing Old National to Minnesota in 18 branches, the bank will have added two states to its previous core three of Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan.
“We looked for capital in all the options, from the thought of going public to, ultimately what we did, sell. It was a very deliberate decision process that took about nine months,” Anchor Bank CEO Carl Jones said. “We finally decided that partnering was the best thing we could do because they had the capital and did not have any market presence in Minneapolis.”
While Jones will depart the organization shortly after closing, much of Anchor Bank’s leadership and staff will continue with the bank after it becomes part of Old National Bank.
“It’s just a different bank but with the same people and the same locations,” Jones said. “I think it’ll actually be better for our customers because Old National has a greater suite of products and services and they have a great reputation. They know what they’re doing.”
The deal is expected to close early in 2018’s first quarter. By Old National Bank CEO Bob Jones’ count (no relation), this is the bank’s 12th deal in the last 10 years. That track record of growth proved to Anchor’s Jones that Old National would serve his customers properly.
Anchor shareholders will receive 1.35 shares of Old National stock and $2.63 for each share of Anchor Bank stock, placing the estimated value at announcement at $303.2 million.
“We’ve always talked about the right market, the right price and the right people,” Bob Jones said during a conference call. “We clearly believe with Anchor Bank in Minnesota we’ve achieved that.”
He compared the Minnesota demographics to those Old National has found in Wisconsin and Michigan before noting the expanded business opportunities in the Twin Cities, which will immediately become the bank’s second-largest market by deposits.
“While we don’t particularly lend to Fortune 500 companies, we think the secondary businesses that are a result of having 17 Fortune 500 companies based in the market present an attractive market for us,” Bob Jones said.

Because phone and PDA data is stored in flash memory, it's retained even if the device's battery is drained or removed. To delete flash memory data, users have to do a "hard reset," which returns the hardware to a factory-fresh condition. Each phone and PDA maker uses a different hard reset procedure; some, in fact, can only be down by a technician or after contacting the phone service's help desk.
Phones and PDAs are not the only electronic gear which aren't properly wiped before they're tossed or sold. Studies of the contents of used hard drives have found similar results: a wealth of data, some of it personal or confidential.
Trust Digital recommended that users secure their cell phones and PDAs using passwords, to lock out casual snooping if the devices are lost.

Webinar: The Potential Role of Ocean Geoengineering in Combating Climate Change
Thursday, 05 November 2020, 2:30
Thursday, November 5, 2020. 2:30 PM. Webinar: The Potential Role of Ocean Geoengineering in Combating Climate Change. Cymie Payne, Rutgers; Guillermo Ortuño Crespo, Stockholm Resilience Centre/U.N. Decade of Ocean Science. Sponsored by The Monmouth University Institute for Global Understanding (IGU) and Urban Coast Institute (UCI). More information here.
Human exploitation of the open ocean has increased rapidly over the past few decades. International agreements that manage individual commercial sectors have not kept pace with the rate of expansion of maritime industries or the effects of climate change that are already being experienced, resulting in poor management of high seas species and ecosystems. Coastal nations like the U.S., with large exclusive economic zones (EEZs), may be the first to experience the negative impacts of poor management beyond their national jurisdiction: ecological connectivity across maritime boundaries connects hundreds of ocean species to the high seas. Years of negotiation are coming to fruition with a new treaty to manage conservation and sustainable use of life in the connected, dynamic global ocean. The challenge for governments is to prioritize long-term health over short-term sectoral interests with an effective treaty for biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ). It will be pivotal for ensuring the health and well-being of U.S. ecosystems and coastal communities.

We’re a few weeks away from the release of the 3D remake of Trials of Mana, and Square Enix has since announced a ton of new additions to the game.
Firstly, it has been announced that a New Episode will be unlocked once players complete the main story with the party members of their choice. This new scenario will take place after the credits roll, with the six heroes finding out about a fourth tier of job classes, which can grant them even more power to fight evil.
The New Game+ mode will then be unlocked after players complete the New Episode scenario, which will carry over all stats, unlocked abilities, money, items, and the Li’l Cactus secret collectables from a previous save for a new more challenging run of the game.
Typically, each character of the game has three tiers of classes, with tiers two and three splitting jobs between Light and Dark variants, totalling to about seven classes per character. The remake will add the aforementioned fourth tier of classes, which are also split into Light and Dark counterparts.
After the post-game scenario, the knight, Duran, will have access to the Divine Hero and Berserker classes. Magician-in-training, Angela, will get the Mystic Queen and Spellbinder classes. Master thief, Hawkeye gets the Wardenkeep and Vigilante classes.
The Valkrie, Riez, gets the new Meteorite and Bryhildr as her Light and Dark classes. Martial artist/werewolf Kevin receives the Beast King and Annihilator job classes, while cleric Charlotte gets the High Priestess and Chaosbringer roles. It is currently unknown what skills these new jobs bring, so fans will have to finish the game to find out.
Beyond that, Square Enix has also revealed limited edition PS4 Pro and Nintendo Switch consoles, though they haven’t revealed how fans acquire these elusive consoles just yet. The limited-edition PS4 Pro console will be adorned with the six main characters, while the Nintendo Switch is decked out with Rabite imagery, the mascot of the franchise.If you’re still on the fence about the game, the demo is out now for PS4 and Nintendo Switch and is a great way to get yourself accustomed to the game’s characters and mechanics. If you’re not sure which character you should start out with, the official site has a fun quiz that can help determine which character might resonate with you.

The following is the opinion and analysis of the writer:
We don’t get to have many heroes in life. Ann-Eve Pedersen was one of mine, and losing her is a terrible blow to our community. No one can fill the shoes of this amazing woman.
I met Ann-Eve when I started teaching at Sam Hughes Elementary, and her son was in my class. Meet the Teacher day was a bit intense with some parents. Then came Ann-Eve: she immediately established herself as an ally, advocate and friend, and remained those for the better part of a decade since her son graduated from the school.
Ann-Eve was a key member of the most incredible PTA. She worked with other parents to support the school in ways that boggled the mind. One of our teachers was slated to be laid off due to budget cuts: Ann-Eve helped led the charge to go door to door raising money until funds were in place to cover the teacher’s salary for a year.
She and her dear friend Amy co-led the tax credit drive for Hughes for years, and made it possible for our students to benefit from chess, PE, music classes and academic support programs. Our school receives no Title 1 money, so we have her and other dedicated parents to thank for arranging fundraisers that enabled us get computers for students to share.
(The Arizona Daily Star’s June 6 obituary outlined Ann-Eve’s stellar, two-decade career as a reporter, then editor, her tireless efforts in the arena of social justice and her contributions as an advocate for education in Arizona in the June 6 issue. Even oft-political opponents, like Gov. Doug Ducey, and competing reporters, were impressed by her intelligence, hard-work ethic and grit. Please look the article up if you missed it.)
Our school community also had the joy of knowing her as a mom. Her son, Lars, raised the bar for me in regards to what kind of student I could hope to have in my classroom. The fact that she, and her husband Peter, raised such a polite, respectful, determined boy into the extraordinary young man he has become, despite facing some tough hurdles in life, is testament to their excellent example as parents, their values and the love they put into their family.
Ann-Eve exuded a calm, gracious and kind manner. She was approachable, and people approached her for a lot. She delivered the goods for so many people, in so many ways, and always did so with a smile that lit up her eyes and her face. You knew you were in good company.
My duties at the school include putting together a focus group of parents once a year to explore ways the school can improve. A facilitator who is not a staff member or a current parent is required, and for the last few years I’ve asked Ann-Eve to run the meeting. Even though she was always busy, she never said no. She worked with a co-facilitator to elicit thoughtful, helpful and honest answers from our parent volunteers. Staff may not be present, and answers are anonymous: We knew the group was in good hands with Ann-Eve.
Sometimes our most bittersweet goodbyes are the ones we did not realize were farewells. Ann-Eve recently wrapped up the focus group and I contacted her to thank her. We talked about getting our families together soon for a dinner to celebrate our families being fully vaccinated and the end of a couple tough years. I’ll always wish that dinner had taken place.
Tucson and Arizona were so blessed to have such an extraordinary human being as a friend in our community. Ann-Eve Pedersen truly made the world a better place. She was much loved and will be deeply missed.

What did you love best about DASH Diet?
I've never heard of the dash diet. Upon listening it's a simple concept. Cut out salt (sodium) which will lead to lowering blood pressure. Of course there are some other pieces of it to help lose weight, but it's a nice change from the usual fad diets.

One who knows does not speak
one who speaks does not know.
TAO TE CHING LI
In bed at last, the light turned off, the chorus
Of daylight voices dies, and in profound
Silence I sense the singing in my ears,
A ghostly sibilance, an immense susurrus
Filling the whole house with its wraith of sound.
Then drifting towards the pit of sleep, one hears
A call ‘Sign off now!’ quiet voices say,
‘Your last job was to put the body to bed;
The Night Shift will take over when you’ve gone.
We expect you’re ready: it’s been quite a day.’
The circulation slows and in the head
The oceanic rhythm of sleep draws on.
Although quite ready to go, I wonder what
The Night Shift is, since all controls are set
On automatic, brain idling, will shut down,
Breathing long-slow, heart at a quiet trot …
Cleaners perhaps, night watchmen is my bet
Or maintenance to service my sleeping town.
Last night I learned I could not be more wrong.
Those humble processes take place indeed;
But when I go from the controls, it seems
My brain is taken over by a throng
Of revellers and roisterers who proceed
To invent whole theatres of improbable dreams.
My back-room boys exulting to make over
Scenarios of the scripts I write by day
To season them with melodrama or farce,
Reveal the coward I just keep under cover,
The Greedy Boy I struggle to keep at bay,
The envious Doubles who haunt my looking glass
And some, more sinister members of the cast,
All anxious in my absence for a romp,
Each longing to display what he can do,
Freed from my finger in his pie at last,
Onto the empty, waiting stage they tramp
Jostling for parts and snatching at a cue.
There they act out dream sequences galore
Which visit me in helpless sleep all night,
Long parodies of worries of the day,
Nightmares that grind till I can bear no more
And wake unable to shake off my fright,
Journeys of sheer frustration and delay.
But there are other actors who employ
Their talents to bring me pleasure too, who show
Marvellous landscapes, prospects of sky and sea,
Reminders that living is an act of joy
Dreams full of colour and light that change and glow
And unfulfilled love now made up to me.
Some hoping for my praise too, scribble verse,
Give lectures, plan whole novels, cook up plays
In which if I miss cues, forget my lines
Or fail the whole performance, which is worse,
I still know, though they tease in all these ways,
To shame me is no part of their designs
But to exalt their own parts, give me powers
That in real life I lack and much deplore,
As on those rare occasions when I stand
Conducting a great symphony which soars
Composed impromptu and whose only score
The players read from motions of my hand.
And if, on waking, it seems wretched stuff
I cannot laugh at them for I recall
These are my helpers on whom I depend,
Providers of fresh images in the rough,
Insights I am not capable of at all
And words not mine that lead me to my end.
These are my fellow workers every day
In that weird business of composing verse.
Without them my part falters flat and tame;
Without me in their wild surreal play
Formless inconsequence would prove their curse
In kindling from dull fuel a soaring flame.
Was it another dream last night when I
Resolved to join the Night Shift, climbed the stair?
The door was locked, a sign announced ‘Stage Door
Keep Out!’ I knocked but there was no reply.
I wondered, can it be there’s no one there
Although I heard them from my lower floor.
I knocked again. A voice! The door flew wide.
There stood a person I had never seen
Who barred the way and asked me ‘Who are you?’
I told her who I was, but she replied,
‘Look, we’re in the middle of a scene.
You say you work here: what is it you do?’
‘There’s no one works here answering to that name.’
‘I’m just a poet who runs the show,’ I said.
‘Oh, Management!’ she said. ‘They’re all downstairs.
Come back tomorrow, if it’s all the same.
There’s only one man there, he’s gone to bed
A long, long time ago and said his prayers.’
With that she pushed the door to in my face
And left me standing in the dark alone;
But I had seen the Night Shift. Now I knew
The secret all oneiromantics chase:
The cause of dreaming, hitherto unknown
To the whole psychoanalytic crew,
As to their predecessors, shamans, scriers,
Diviners, mages, witches and old wives,
The Future was not theirs to know and most
Messengers from beyond this world prove liars.
Dreams are the simple means a poet contrives
To tap creative energy from a host
Of clues he is forbidden to meet below
Levels of consciousness he is master of.
On the Night Shift unhampered they work free,
And I in sleep am quite content to know
They are engaged then in a labour of love
Unquestioning, and unquestioned too by me.
I offer this insight to the critics too,
Bright chaps at best who mostly guess awry
Since ignorant of the way that poems begin.
It’s an odd business best left to the few
Who practise it, and of their lot am I.
Interviews with poets may be Original Sin.
Since half the process by which poems grow
Is something not even their authors understand
Inevitably they give themselves away.
What part the Night Shift plays they never know
But talk as though they had the whole thing planned
And it was theirs alone to call the play.
‘Tell me,’ some questioner asks, notebook in fist
Or pushing a microphone into my face,
‘How you get inspiration, analyse
Your sources of creative energy, list
The writers who have influenced you and trace
The deeper drives on which each poem relies.’
I mumble and footle. He takes the nonsense down
And seems content as if with holy writ.
The Night Shift listens in; they laugh and crow
And slap their sides ‘Help! Listen to the clown!
That babble will soon be printed, every bit.’
And sure enough, half drivel and half guess,
It all sees print, is solemnly studied. Profound
Conclusions pin my literary drift.
And I too laugh to watch my critics assess
A poem, as their game goes round and round,
My game of blind-man’s bluff with the Night Shift.

Saucy to open Harrison West brewpub in early April
Saucy Brew Works, the Cleveland-based brewery, plans to open its first central Ohio outlet in the Harrison West neighborhood in early April.
Saucy will open a 190-seat pub at 443 W. 3rd Ave., in the former site of Caffe Apropos.
The site, which also will serve as a coffeehouse, will include both indoor and outdoor seating, and a brewery.
The new Saucy will be similar to the company’s flagship pub in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood, owned and operated by Brent Zimmerman and Eric Anderson. The menu, featuring the thin-crust, coal-fired New Haven-style “apizza,” will be largely the same as the Cleveland site.
"Saucy’s Columbus location in Harrison West has been a long time in the making,” Zimmerman said in a news release. “We looked at dozens of opportunities in the area, and in Harrison West we fell in love within the first five minutes touring the building.”
The Columbus expansion is part of Saucy’s broader expansion, which will include taprooms in Cleveland’s Pinecrest neighborhood and Detroit’s Brush Park area, and a new brewery and restaurant in the Cleveland suburb of Independence.
Saucy beer has been available in central Ohio for about two years.

If you’re in the market for a new houseplant, you may have come across two popular varieties of alocasia: Alocasia Amazonica and Alocasia Polly. While they may look similar, these two plants have some differences in their care requirements and appearance. In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into the world of alocasia plants and explore the similarities and differences between Alocasia Amazonica vs Polly.
Table of Contents
Alocasia Amazonica: Origin and Appearance
Alocasia Amazonica, also known as Amazon Elephant Ear or Alocasia x amazonica, is a tropical perennial houseplant with glossy arrowhead leaves. It is a hybrid of Alocasia longiloba and Alocasia sanderiana, both of which are native to tropical Asia and the Indian subcontinent. This plant is believed to have been bred by a Florida nursery owner who wanted to create a plant with a unique flowering pattern.
One of the most striking features of Alocasia Amazonica is its silvery-green background color, which makes it a standout addition to any indoor garden. Its leaves are triangular and resemble elephant ears, with a wavy texture that adds visual interest. This plant is also known for producing small, fragrant spathe flowers that resemble calla lilies.
Alocasia Polly: Origin and Appearance
Alocasia Polly, also known as African Mask Plant or Alocasia x amazonica ‘Polly’, is a hybrid of Alocasia longiloba and Alocasia sanderiana. Like Alocasia Amazonica, it is a tropical perennial houseplant with glossy arrowhead leaves. However, Alocasia Polly has some distinct differences in appearance compared to its Amazonian counterpart.
One of the most notable differences is the shape of its leaves: Alocasia Polly’s leaves are striped and zigzagged, with edges that are cut to a quarter of their length. This gives the plant a unique, almost sculptural look. Additionally, Alocasia Polly’s leaves may appear greenish-purple depending on the amount of light it receives.
Care Requirements: Alocasia Amazonica vs Polly
When it comes to caring for Alocasia Amazonica vs Polly, there are some similarities and differences to keep in mind.
Light and Temperature
Both Alocasia Amazonica and Polly require bright indirect light to thrive indoors. They should be placed near a window that gets a lot of indirect light, but protected from bright sunlight as direct sunlight will burn the leaves and cause them to lose their vibrant color. If they are not kept in a bright spot, they should be covered with a sheer curtain. The latter is a great option for low-light rooms.
In terms of temperature, the ideal range for both plants is 18-27°C, however, they can withstand temperatures as low as 15°C.
Watering and Humidity
During the growing season (Spring-Summer), keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, watering only when the surface begins to dry (top 3-5cm). In the winter, watering should be done only once every 1 to 1.5 weeks. Both species require a lot of humidity to reproduce their tropical origins, so water them every day or keep them near a humidifier.
Alocasia polly prefers high humidity. Because it is native to tropical forests, it is not suitable for dry climates. A humidifier is necessary for this plant to thrive. Alocasia Amazonica, on the other hand, can tolerate lower humidity levels, but will still benefit from a humidifier or regular misting.
Soil and Fertilizer
Both Alocasia Amazonica and Polly require a lightweight, well-draining potting mix. Alocasia Polly benefits from regular fertilization with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month, while Alocasia Amazonica can be fertilized once or twice a year.
Diseases and Pests
Alocasia plants can be prone to certain diseases and pests, including mealybugs, spider mites, and root rot. To prevent these issues, it’s important to maintain proper care practices, including proper watering and humidity levels. If you do notice signs of pests or disease, treat the plant promptly with an appropriate insecticide or fungicide.
Conclusion: Which One is Right for You?
When it comes down to choosing between Alocasia Amazonica vs Polly, the decision ultimately comes down to personal preference and care requirements. Both plants are attractive and easy to grow, but Alocasia Polly may require slightly more attention when it comes to humidity levels and fertilization. Consider your own living space and routine when deciding which plant is right for you.
Overall, Alocasia Amazonica and Polly are both excellent choices for anyone looking to add a touch of tropical flair to their indoor garden. With proper care and attention, these plants can thrive for years to come.
