Well, it appears there's a chance the Miami Thrice crew put its money where its mouths are and that could well benefit a pair of NBA veterans who were teammates in Orange and Blue.
Even though the Heat negotiated sign and trade agreements with Toronto and Cleveland for Chris Bosh and LeBron James, respectively, each guy took well below the NBA maximum as did returning Heat star Dwayne Wade.
As a result the Heat is spending only $43 million a year on their three superstars instead of a potential $49 million. That gives the Heat $15 million, more or less, to fill out the roster.
Reports indicate the largest chunk of that money will go to Mike Miller in the first year of a five year deal while Udonis Haslem could be retained for significantly less than the $7.1 million he earned a year ago.
Hell, while they're at it, maybe the Heat can bring back Jason Williams on a veteran minimum deal. Williams is looking for a new home as is Matt Bonner who played out his contract with San Antonio.
A lot of people might have gotten annoyed by the theatrics surrounding LeBron James' decision to join the Heat, but it looks like there's a great chance that Gator fans will have rooting interest in how that decision plays out.

[DCOM-176] [GH-256] Refactored AnnotationDriver to handle only required classes Created: 01/Mar/13 Updated: 01/Mar/13 Resolved: 01/Mar/13
|Reporter:||Benjamin Eberlei||Assignee:||Marco Pivetta|
This issue is created automatically through a Github pull request on behalf of mattcockayne:
Whilst debugging an issue I was having I found that the AnnotationDriver uses get_declared_classes() and iterates over the result to identify classes that should be handled.
This seems like a ridiculous overhead especially as it then instantiated a ReflectionClass for each declared class. As an example my current project was iterating over 522 items when it needed to only handle 6.
I've kept the alterations to a minimum but it now takes a snapshot of the declared classes before and after the require for the files and then uses array_diff to get only the classes we are targeting.

Many users are gaining popularityAndroid platform introduces the stupor of installing applications and games. In fact, this process is not at all complicated, and right now we'll figure out how to install games on Android.
Install on Android simple games
Of course, the most famous method for installing gameson Adroid - use of the service from the Google Android market. To install games and applications on your device, you need to run the preinstalled Market program, select the game you are interested in in the list of games and click the "Install" button. More clearly, how to install the games on Android, in the video. You can easily find them on the Internet.
Android games are free - no problem. The main thing is to download the game files themselves, and then proceed to the algorithm below:
- Go to Menu - Settings - Applications.
- We set a "tick" in front of "Unknown sources".
- We connect our androidophone to the PC.
- Now, from the computer, we move the games to the android device to any folder.
- We remove our device from the computer (we interrupt the connection).
- Using any file manager, you need to find the same folder in which we moved the game.
- In the folder with the game we are looking for the APK-file of the android-game itself. Open it!
- In the pop-up menu, click "Install" or "Install".
You have installed a simple game on Android, congratulations!
Installing games with a cache for Android
But there is another type of game, to which also cached files are attached. As a rule, these are massive and powerful games, often shooters or simulators of auto racing.
How to install the game with the cache on Android
It is necessary to do all those actions, as forsimple games, adding only moving the cache to a special folder. This folder (its address) can be found in the description of the game. We list the exact folder addresses for the most common game publishers on Android:
- Studio Gameloft, folder address: sdcard / gameloft / games / the name of your game.
- Games for Android, released by Electronic Arts, their cache is stored in: sdcard / Android / data - the name of the necessary game for Android.
- Games from other developers store the cache, usually at the address: sdcard / data / data / name of the game.
So, we learned how to install games on Android!

The Texas Rail Road Comission has released their latest report with oil, gas and condensate production for April. The RRC data is always incomplete however and takes many months for the all the data to trickle in. The below chart shows that problem.
The data is barrels per data with the EIA data through March and RRC data through April. The EIA has Texas C+C data is highly linear for the 10 months June 2013 through March 2014, increasing at 48 kb/d for 4 months, 41 kb/d for one month then 49 kb/d for the last 5 months.
The EIA has Texas C+C increasing at an average of 48.6 bp/d each month for the last two years. I think that is a little high. I think the production has been increasing at close to 43 kb/d each month but with a recent slow down in that increase.
All Texas RRC June report data is through April. The RRC does not combine Crude with Condensate so I have to add the two. But here you can see the problem. Each month the reported data increases with the latest months showing the largest increase. However even if this is the case, the latest month should show an increase almost equal to the final total increase for that month. That was the case in the April Report, (January to February), but not the case for the last two reports.
Texas RRC seems to have Crude Only increasing at a slower rate each month.
The condensate only chart looks radically different than the crude only chart. It looks like Texas condensate seems to have peaked back in May of 2013. Even if that turns out not to be the peak there is no denying that Texas condensate growth began to dramatically fall off beginning in June of last year.
But this is the chart that really tells the story. The orange plot is the percent of condensate in Texas Crude + Condensate. Notice that the percent condensate takes of at the exact same time that the shale boom started in Texas, in late 2010 and early 2011.
Of course those late months are incomplete, with not all the data in yet. Nevertheless that holds true for both crude only and condensate. Therefore the percentage of condensate should remain about the same. Obviously it does not, the percentage of condensate falls off sharply beginning in June 2013 from 16 percent back to 12 percent or about to where it was before the shale boom began.
My conclusion is that Texas C+C is beginning to slow down in spite of what the EIA reports. And that condensate has even started to decline.

Fun waves on the Cornwall South Coast
It’s been a long time since I went on a surf mission to the South Coast of Cornwall, and as it’s half term and my sons were keen to score some waves I was persuaded to make the journey.
It was a stunning day in Cornwall and although the waves were small, the light was amazing. Here are a few snaps from Porthleven and Praa. I’d forgotten how much I love taking photos of surf and waves, great memories of my time as surf photographer and magazine editor.

Banks set limits on PoS, online transactions abroad - The Nation
Banks have set limits on overseas Point of Sale (PoS) and online card transactions, The Nation has learnt.
Many of the lenders, which are battling a tough dollar scarcity, have pegged monthly transactions on PoS and online transactions using cards at $100, British Pounds Sterling 90, Euro 130 and Canadian Dollars 360.
The ban on cash withdrawals with Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards while abroad still stands. Travellers are now finding it difficult to pay their hotel bills, make reservations and other transactions using their debit cards after the policy took effect.
Industry sources said had the lenders not restricted the use of ATM cards abroad, some of them would have been facing hitches meeting the dollar demands of their overseas' customers. Such would have exposed the lenders to huge liabilities' shocks and operational challenges as dollar scarcity persists.
Stanbic IBTC Bank, United Bank for Africa, Access Bank, Stanbic IBTC Bank, Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria (StanChart) and GTBank last week announced the suspension of their overseas ATM card services. Also suspended by the banks were all foreign currency-denominated transactions, including those conducted on PoS machines and online.
But in a move to ease the pains of customers, some of the lenders are now allowing transactions on PoS and online deals, under a marginally set limit.
In an emailed note to customers, GTBank said it had reviewed international spending limit on ATM cards downwards but restricted such transactions to cards used on PoS and online transactions.
As a way out of the crisis, banks are now encouraging travellers to open dollar accounts, which have no spending limit. Such cards are issued by the banks on domiciliary accounts funded directly by customers, but the ongoing dollar scarcity and pains of sourcing the greenback makes funding such accounts a herculean task and at cut-throat rates.
The naira closed last week at 310 to dollar in the official market and 450 to dollar in the parallel market.
Chief Economist at Renaissance Capital (RenCap) Charles Robertson, predicted that the naira would end the year at N390 to dollar in the official market, even though it has become undervalued, according to the Forex rate implied by this economist's 13-year average real effective exchange rate (REER) of N286/ to dollar.
RenCap is a leading frontier market research and investment firm, based in many countries, including Nigeria.
"We expect the interbank forex rate to fall further, despite the naira being undervalued, partly due to low market confidence. The widening gap between the parallel forex rate of N450 to dollar and the interbank rate of N310 to dollar implies the market thinks the interbank rate should be lower. However, we do not think the 'market-clearing rate' is as low as the parallel rate suggests, because that market is illiquid," he said.
"Moreover, the improvement in the current account (CA) to a surplus of 0.3 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in June this year against a deficit of 1.6 per cent in June last year, on our estimates, suggests the fall in the parallel forex rate may be overdone. We see the authorities succumbing to mounting pressure - possibly as soon as the November 22 meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) - and moving towards a transparent, liquidity-enhancing forex market. Until then, we expect the policy rate to be flat at 14 per cent," Robertson said in an emailed report.
Naira forwards have soared to records, suggesting foreign investors see another devaluation coming. Contracts maturing in six months trade at N384 per dollar, their highest-ever level. Those due in a year have climbed to N422 from N325 since the end of June. The naira's spot price climbed 1.7 per cent to about N310 to dollar.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) started tightening capital controls in late 2014 to defend the naira as crashing crude prices crimped export revenues. It then imposed a 16-month peg of N197 to N199 per dollar from February 2015 until June 20 when the flexible foreign exchange policy was unveiled to allow naira float freely in the market.

At Motherhood, we understand the importance of carefully monitoring the development of the foetus. The Foetal Medicine Department is fully equipped with the latest technologies to assess the growth and development of your unborn baby at various stages of the pregnancy. This diagnosis also helps in early detection of illnesses and abnormalities, enabling early treatments which prevent the mother and child from getting harmed.
In the sixth week of your pregnancy your baby would have grown to the size of a pea. The eyes and ears will start developing, and the baby’s heartbeat will be around 100–160 times a minute. All this is indicated to you via some symptoms like morning sickness, mood swings, frequent urination and more, but to confirm that your pregnancy is healthy, a visit to your healthcare specialist is a must
Fetal Echocardiography is similar to an ultrasound. It is done to see the structure and function of an unborn child’s heart. It is usually done in the second trimester, between 18 to 24 weeks.
3D /4D SCANS
Ultrasound scans including 3D and 4D are more like a real-time photograph of your baby. With 3D scanning, many pictures of the child are taken in 2D and then merged to create a 3D image effect. With 4D scanning, pictures are made in real time and you can see what your child is doing in your womb at the time, such as moving of legs and arms or opening of the eyes.
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) is a prenatal screening which involves sampling the chorionic villi from the placenta for chromosomal abnormalities and some other genetic problems. The placenta is a structure in the uterus that provides blood and nutrients to the growing baby from the mother. It also removes the waste products from the blood of the baby. Chorionic Villi are a small part of placental tissues that resemble fingers and have a genetic make-up similar to that of the embryo.
Laser ablation surgery is a treatment to remove tumours and other lesions by using light. A thin laser probe is placed in the brain which shows exactly what area to be heated.

London: Scientists have developed a new cardiac vest that can diagnose heart attacks as soon as they happen, a feat they say could lead to new and effective ways of treating heart patients. Conventional electrocardiograph (ECG) technology, which has been around for the past 60 years, has its limitations and patients have to face delays of up 12 hours for blood testresults, during which continuing damage may be done. But the new cardiac vest, developed by a British company, can give doctors detailed information within minutes about whether a patient is suffering an attack and where within the heart the problem is situated, the researchers said. UK`s Bradford Royal Infirmary will be the first hospital in world to use the revolutionary cardiac vest, which contains 80 sensors attached to a patient`s chest and back. If trials of the new "Heartscape" device are successful, sufferers could be diagnosed up to 12 hours earlier than usual, the researchers said.

Learning Cloth Dynamics: 3D+Texture Garment Reconstruction Benchmark
Proceedings of the NeurIPS 2020 Competition and Demonstration Track, PMLR 133:57-76, 2021.
Human avatars are important targets in many computer applications. Accurately tracking, capturing, reconstructing and animating the human body, face and garments in 3D are critical for human-computer interaction, gaming, special effects and virtual reality. In the past, this has required extensive manual animation. Regardless of the advances in human body and face reconstruction, still modeling, learning and analyzing human dynamics need further attention. In this paper we plan to push the research in this direction, e.g. understanding human dynamics in 2D and 3D, with special attention to garments. We provide a large-scale dataset (more than 2M frames) of animated garments with variable topology and type, calledCLOTH3D++. The dataset contains RGBA video sequences paired with its corresponding 3D data. We pay special care to garment dynamics and realistic rendering of RGB data, including lighting, fabric type and texture. With this dataset, we hold a competition at NeurIPS2020. We design three tracks so participants can compete to develop the best method to perform 3D garment reconstruction in a sequence from (1) 3D-to-3D garments, (2) RGB-to-3D garments, and (3) RGB-to-3D garments plus texture. We also provide a baseline method, based on graph convolutional networks, for each track. Baseline results show that there is a lot of room for improvements. However, due to the challenging nature of the problem, no participant could outperform the baselines.

GEHA Health Plans Opiates Rehab and Opioid Detox Coverage
Breaking the Cycle
The first step in recovery is coming clean, a process referred to in clinical settings as detox. Your GEHA Health Plans opioid coverage may provide for medically supervised detox, which involves medication administered by a licensed physician in order to minimize withdrawal symptoms and provide a nearly painless detox, but not all policies include what some still consider to be experimental treatment. Opioid withdrawal symptoms may include:
- Lack of energy or fatigue
- Agitation or irritability
- Fever and chills
- Goose bumps
- Excessive tearing
- Muscle aches and body pain
- Abdominal cramping
Options for Rehabilitation
There might include several different types of recovery facilities included as part of your in-network GEHA Health Plans opioid detox coverage:
Sponsored adThis sponsor paid to have this advertisement placed in this section.
- Inpatient Rehab – For patients looking for a place to concentrate 100 percent on recovery without the distractions or temptations present in their day-to-day life, inpatient rehab at a residential facility may be the best route. Here you'll be monitored by a team of addiction specialists as you work to achieve sobriety and plan for long-term success.
- Outpatient Rehab – Some people simply cannot budget the time or resources to commit to a stay an in inpatient rehab facility, in which case outpatient rehab may be a viable option. You'll still receive comprehensive care, but you'll also have the freedom to be with your family, work, and go to school while you tackle issues related to addiction.
- Transitional Housing – Going from an inpatient program directly back into your previous living environment can be jarring and provide too many temptations with too little support. Living in transitional housing, like a halfway house, gives recovering addicts a way to ease back into the "real world."
The Importance of Ongoing Support
The completion of a rehabilitation program is only the beginning of a life-long battle against addiction. Maintaining your sobriety takes dedication and is best achieved with the support of friends, family, and experienced addiction specialists. Individual and group therapy are proven ways to address addiction-related behaviors and diagnosis and treat any underlying or contributing issues like mental illness, emotional trauma, or behavioral disorders. Family counseling can help your loved ones become best equipped to support you on your journey, while addiction programs like 12-step groups surround you with the support of people who know where you've been and where you want to go, and who are determined to help you get there. The most important thing to remember is that you don't have to conquer your addiction alone.

The Fertility Diet
From the desk of Jessica L. Molleur, Lic.Ac., DNBAO... The following recommendations are based on the Nurses’ Health Study, which began in 1989 and followed more than 18,000 female nurses anticipating a pregnancy of the duration of the eight-year study. Visit www.nurseshealthstudy.org to learn more details about the study and participants.
1. Eliminate fast foods from your diet & avoid all other trans-fats.
2. Stop smoking. Smoking has been linked to abnormal oocytes and heavy metals in follicular fluid. Smokers have been found to take longer to get pregnant and are more likely to miscarry.
3. Use more unsaturated vegetable oils and make sure to include omega-3 fats such as fish oil, olive oil, walnut oil, flax oil, and canola oil.
4. Eat more vegetable protein such as beans and nuts and less animal protein.
5. Choose whole grains and other sources of carbohydrates that have lower, slower effects on blood sugar and insulin rather than refined carbohydrates.
6. Drink a glass of whole milk or have a small dish of ice cream or full-fat yogurt everyday; temporarily trade in skim milk and low or no-fat diary products... for their full-fat cousins.
7. Get plenty of iron from fruits, vegetables, beans but not from red meat. Iron plays a key role in DNA replication and in the maturing of the egg in advance of ovulation. Research shows that women who get enough iron cut their risk of ovulatory infertility by about one half!
8. Take a multivitamin that contains iron, folic acid and other B vitamins. Studies show that regular use of a multivitamin decreases the risk of ovulatory infertility. Multivitamins have been shown to benefit men’s fertility as well, increasing sperm count, quality and motility.
9. Beverages matter: Remove sugary drinks and sodas from your diet. Drink coffee, tea and alcohol in moderation. High intake of caffeine is linked to infertility due to tubal problems or endometriosis but was not associated with ovulatory infertility. Water is great.
10. Overall-maintain a healthy weight: Losing or gaining 5-10% of your body weight can have a significant impact on ovulation. Women with a BMI between 20-24 were found to be least likely to have experienced ovulatory infertility.
11. Aim to eat at least 5 fruits and vegetables a day, choosing from a variety of all colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, & purple).

Have you ever talked to the older preachers among us and heard them describe the meetings of years gone by? It is not unusual to hear them relate instances of baptisms by the score. I have heard of ten, twenty, even forty baptisms during a single gospel effort. Today, if a gospel meeting results in one or two baptisms, it is unusual and highly uplifting. But more often than not, we have to be satisfied with the thought that “though there were no visible results, the local church was edified.” This lack of baptisms has caused some to question the validity of gospel meetings in our age. Seldom are meetings planned around those who are not Christians but usually, today, we plan lessons that deal with social issues, motivation or the like. Also, instead of meetings that last over a “protracted” period of time or even ten days, or two Sundays, we have reduced most meetings to one week (Sunday-Friday) or, shorter yet, a two or three-day meeting over a single weekend. And, sad to say, many times we have to depend on visitors from other congregations (mostly the preachers), since local members do not attend.
I certainly do not want to be counted among those who feel that the time of gospel meetings is gone, nor do I wish to be viewed as cynical about the use of various types of efforts (long or short, to aliens or saints, or addressing any needed subject). However, I am realistic enough to know that we are not “stirring the waters” of the baptistry as in years gone by. There may be isolated instances of churches that are baptizing a large number of people, but it is safe to say that this is not the usual case. I feel a personal sadness in that I can tell a difference between the results of efforts when I first started preaching and now. I can tell a difference in the manner of attendance by local members. Many just don’t bother to attend at all. I can tell a difference just by looking at the meeting house and remembering times when chairs had to be put in the aisles to accommodate the crowds. I can tell a difference in the vigor (or lack of it) of singing that once accompanied gospel meetings of which I have personal memories. What was once the type of singing that “raised the roof,” now has become a mere whisper by comparison.
Though it might be said that memories are faulty and that we tend to bask in the “good old days,” I do not think that it is erroneous to say that, by comparison, our efforts are not reaching out to the lost as in times past nor are our assemblies as fervent in worship. Generalizing can be a faulty way of reaching conclusions, but I truly feel that we need to look objectively at what is, in truth, a situation less favorable than the past and certainly less favorable than that of the New Testament age. Simply put, why aren’t we baptizing more people than we are? Unless we assess what is wrong and take steps to remedy the situations, we tend to go off into radical directions such as the Boston/Crossroads heresy or opt for a “quick-fix” by mocking some denominational scheme to draw the crowds. I am a firm believer that God’s way works! We don’t need to invent new doctrines or change the Lord’s church to preach the gospel, reach the lost and edify the saints. What we do need is to learn what we are doing wrong and set about effecting the change. What is wrong? Is it the times in which we live or are we doing something wrong?
The Times, They Are A Changing
It is not a “cop out” to realize that we live in a different age with different values than even a generation ago. When churches had large crowds in attendance “back then,” they did not have to compete with the pernicious influence of television. Today, a new phrase has entered our language because it describes what many have become: “couch potatoes.” In actual terms, this means that both men and women have adopted a lifestyle so sedentary that it has affected our health, social customs, buying habits and, yes, attendance at worship services. People stay home and watch TV rather than assemble with the saints! Further, a generation ago (at least before World War II), most families did not have both husbands and wives working at full-time jobs. We must realize that not only has the home suffered because Mother is always busy with her career and nobody is minding the children, but Mother is tired when she comes home and is not eager to go out again to attend a gospel meeting. She is ready to take off her shoes and rest, not get into the car and go again. Remember that the backbone of many churches in the past has been the dedicated wives and mothers who were the driving forces behind faithful attendance. Today, many of these are just too tired to bother.
Additionally, we must recognize that technology, education, sports and businesses have so complicated our lives that we are no longer an agrarian, pastoral society that, once the crops are “laid by,” has long hours to be filled with optional activities. We are living a complicated existence. Such things vie for our attention and, though we may have lost our priorities, something must be given up. With many, religion is the first thing to go.
To the untaught, religion does not have much to offer anyway. In the eyes of many, religion is judged by the Jim and Tammy Bakkers, the Oral Roberts, the Jimmy Swaggerts of the world. Those of us who live moral and dedicated lives are often tarred by the same brush by a cynical public who needs little excuse to cut religion out of their lives. Their minimal need for God can be satisfied by an occasional drop-in at any denomination. Who needs this business of attending three services a week and every night of a gospel meeting when, even among us, men such as Charles Holt say that organized religion is just so much “pay and obey.”
Yes, the times have changed and we must realize that this does affect our ability to reach the lost. But we must also realize that the Roman Empire had its peculiar problems that opposed faithfulness to God, and so does every age. We must not let these problems cause us to cease our efforts or become so discouraged that we lose faith in the gospel as the “power of God unto salvation” in every age. Though one age will allow a freer course to the gospel than others, every age needs the gospel. We must remember that God has chosen man as his earthen vessel to sow the seed and we must not be found wanting in our own age. What others did in past generations was done in the context of their own opportunities and hurdles. We must do the same in our age. But there are other considerations.
Where Is Guilt When You Need It?
Guilt has been almost expunged from modern society. We are told by psychiatrists, psychologists, sociologists, etc. that guilt is bad and that we must learn to rid ourselves of it by detaching it from anything we do. The modern amoral climate says, “I am okay, you are okay, we all are okay” whether homosexual, pornographer, adulterer, liar or cheat. From the White House to the insane asylum, people are told to do what they want to do “so long as they do not harm anyone else.” We hear of “victimless crimes” (prostitution, sodomy with consenting adults, etc.) and crime without punishment (criminals just need rehabilitation). Try preaching repentance to people who have been conditioned to feeling no guilt! In fact, one national writer stated that anyone who preached the possibility of hell was actually mentally ill. Are we failing to proclaim guilt to a society that desperately needs to understand it? Who is going to walk down the aisle to be baptized or admit to sin in his life if he does not believe himself to be guilty?
Peter and the apostles on Pentecost stated, “You by the hands of lawless men did crucify and slay” (Acts 2:23), and “this Jesus whom ye crucified” (2:36). Like the prophets of old who preached that sin “separated from God” (Isa. 59:2), New Testament preachers laid guilt on sinners and taught them to repent (Acts 2:38). Jesus himself had taught, “Nay, except ye repent, ye shall all in like manner perish” (Lk. 13:3).
Are we failing to preach plainly enough about sin? Are we as fearless as John the Baptist or have we become too polite to proclaim the message? Has the truth been divided into the “positive” and “negative,” with only positive motivational messages designed to make us feel good about ourselves becoming the theme of our meetings? Understanding and accepting guilt for sin, brethren, is necessary to the conversion process. We must not fall for the ruse that our job is to make people feel good and be happy, regardless of adultery, child neglect, doctrinal error, etc.
One of the reasons why we are not “stirring the waters of baptism” more, I believe, is that we are not confronting people with their sins and making them understand that they are lost without repentance. This means that we must be willing to pay the price of stirring animosity by the impenitent. But those who are of “good and honest heart” (Lk. 8:15) will make the desired response. Listen, my preaching brother, are you preaching so as to convict those in sin and turn them to the Lord? This distinctiveness and fearlessness of the gopel message must not be replaced by the Peale message of positive mental happiness. True preaching may make some uncomfortable until they repent and are saved. But the Peale message, while making us all feel happy, will save no one.
Is Sin Really Sinful?
Another factor that keeps many from obeying the gospel in our age is that sin has been white-washed. It is now the common idea that anyone can sin with impunity. And, after all, sin is lots of fun. Did not Moses understand that sin could be pleasurable (Heb. 11:25)? Why would anyone give up a practice that is pleasurable and acceptable to society? Las Vegas spells out in neon letters that gambling is exciting, nudity and prostitution are titillating (and legal in Nevada), and that sin can be practiced either in broad daylight or around the clock without criticism by anyone. Even the local cheerleaders have costumes that leave nothing to the imagination and some elders’ daughters lead the parade. Beer drinking is defended at business meetings and many members imbibe and defy the preacher to preach against it. Doctrinally, we have been told that the grace of God will cover any deviation from the truth and that we are not to be alarmed when brethren practice “another gospel.” Immorality is not sinful any longer. Doctrinal impurity is not sinful anymore. Divorce is acceptable in nearly every case, for any cause. Why should anyone get excited about sin? The world has wrapped it in a glittering case of respectability and too many of us love to have it so.
But we must see sin as God does, to really understand its nature and evil. “God is light and in him is no darkness at all” (1 Jn. 1:5). Sin caused Jesus to be crucified in order that God could righteously pardon the sinner (Rom. 3:21-26). We must preach about sin so clearly that all men can see the sinfulness of it and turn in abhorrence and repugnance from it. Only then will we start to baptize the lost and regain the fallen Christians. As someone has said, “It is not our job to ease the afflicted, but to afflict those at ease.” Hasn’t this always been the task of God’s workmen?
What I am saying, then, is that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with the gospel, the church, or any part of the Divine order. We do not need to do reconstructive surgery on God’s revealed plan. What we do need, however, is to reassess what we are doing with what God has given us. Realizing that we do live in changing times, we must accept that the gospel will not be as effective in one era as it has been in others, and will be again. We must not become so discouraged by the lack of results that we seek to change God’s will. But, with renewed vigor, let us preach the old Jerusalem gospel as plainly as it ever has been. Paul knew what he said when he cautioned Timothy to preach “in season and out of season” (2 Tim. 4:2). It may be that our time is one that is “out of season” when people don’t want to hear it, but we must preach it regardless. The only hope we have to turn our age around is to “preach the word” and not spare. Other “gospels” may seem to be more effective for a while, but there is only one true gospel. It is this that we must preach and not be ashamed of (Rom. 1:16) and with effort, prayer, and God’s good grace, we may yet see the day when people are walking the aisle, stirring the waters of baptism and turning to God. I long to see the day when the aisles have chairs in them, when singing is loud and fervent, when the word grows and multiplies. May God grant that we live long enough to see it in our times.

From Ken Burns to Cas Walker: What Knoxville scenes to look for in 'Country Music'
Knoxville viewers might recognize some familiar sights and sounds when Ken Burns' epic "Country Music" series debuts Sunday night on PBS.
The 16-hour series from the creator of "The Civil War," "The Roosevelts" and other acclaimed historical documentaries begins airing at 8 p.m. Sunday and traces the rise of Western and so-called "hillbilly" music from the late 19th century through the late 20th. The first four episodes run through Wednesday night at roughly two hours apiece.
Tennessee takes a starring role throughout, from the Carter Family's early recordings at the Bristol Sessions in the late 1920s on the far eastern end of the state to Johnny Cash's rise through the 1950s as a star for Sun Records in Memphis to the west to the enduring legacy of the Grand Ole Opry and WSM radio in Nashville. Knoxville claims its share of screentime as well, thanks to historic film and audio recordings preserved by the Knox County Public Library's Tennessee Archive of Moving Image and Sound.
East Tennessee points of perspective
Be prepared, though: Hardcore fans of East Tennessee country music trivia could end up disappointed with the level of detail. Grocery tycoon and master showman Cas Walker, for example, who kept Knoxville's airwaves buzzing for more than half a century, gets only a brief mention for helping discover Sevier County superstar Dolly Parton.
"You've got to keep it in perspective," said Eric Dawson, director of the Tennessee Archive of Moving Image and Sound. "They're covering 100 years. How much time are they really going to have that they can spend on a local variety show?"
The series' producers still find time for a parade of country icons, from Parton to early trailblazers like Roy Acuff and Chet Atkins, both Union County natives who helped cement Tennessee's place in the country music pantheon. Knoxville radio host Lowell Blanchard and his Mid-Day Merry-Go-Round on WNOX get a passing mention, as do the Louvin Brothers and the Everly Brothers.
Here's a preview of archive film and audio clips from Knoxville used in the series, plus a few gems that didn't make the cut.
Knoxville's Dancing Diva
Baby Jeane Plumlee danced her heart out 90 years ago on a Knoxville stage — and thanks to the work of TAMIS, she's dancing still. Look for her in the series' first episode.
The girl appears in a few seconds of film from the Own Your Own Home show on Gay Street, about three months before the Knoxville Sessions of July 1929, when Chicago music company executives came to the St. James Hotel to record such acts as Maynard Baird, the Tennessee Ramblers and Leola Manning. The footage shot by legendary photographer Jim Thompson captures not just the performers, including the girl kicking up her heels, but the eager faces of spectators dancing along.
"It's a fascinating piece of footage because it gives a good idea of what a typical crowd at a show in downtown Knoxville around that time looked like,," Dawson said.
Chet Atkins 'Bye-Bye Blues'
Watch the third episode for some of the earliest known footage of Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, the man who'd become known as "Mr. Guitar."
The silent film, believed to be shot around 1944, shows Atkins and other performers such as the Tennessee Hillbillies at an outdoor show with all the tropes that have become standard for the country variety show — the picking, the grinning, the cornpone comedy for the easy laughs. Atkins wouldn't become nationally known until a few years later after he became a regular on the Mid-Day Merry-Go-Round, joined Mama Maybelle Carter for a tour that took him to the Opry, and ultimately became one of the pioneers of the trademark "Nashville Sound."
What you won't hear will be some of the earliest live audio of Atkins, picking the "Bye-Bye Blues" with friends at his home in Union County in 1942. The sound survives on a lacquered cardboard disc, part of a fragile home recording donated to TAMIS by Broadway Sound founder Lynn Clapp.
"We think this could be the first live audio recording of Chet Atkins," Dawson said. "He's most likely recording himself."
Also on the home-pressed record: Hawaiian music, complete with ukulele.
Hank Williams and the Andrew Johnson Hotel
Look for snow on the roof of the Andrew Johnson Hotel in the third episode as the dark days draw nigh for Hank Williams just before his death on New Year's Day 1953.
Burns' series doesn't wade into the decades-old debate over just where Williams died — whether at the hotel, on the road or in Oak Hill, West Virginia, where he was declared dead. And the snow-capped footage from the Andrew Johnson actually dates to a couple years before Williams' death at age 29, "but it looks about the same as it would have then," Dawson said.
Civil rights in Knoxville
The Knoxville scenes that get the most airtime in Burns's series don't show any country music performers at all.
Producers showed the greatest interest in scenes from a 1963 civil-rights protest outside the Tennessee Theatre downtown, used during scenes discussing the social changes of the decade.
The film came from the Knoxville Police Department, apparently shot as surveillance of the demonstrators, Dawson said.
"At first glance, it might be surprising, but this series takes a close look at the interplay between the black and white roots of country, so it's really not," Dawson said.
What 'Country Music' left out
Readers won't get a glimpse of most of the thousand-plus photos from Knoxville radio's heyday or hear the various recordings of lesser-known performers. Dawson said about once a week, the archive receives a donation of records, film, eight-tracks or some kind of video or audiotape. The next great find could be inside.
For more information about TAMIS or to donate, visit knoxlib.org/local-family-history/tennessee-archive-moving-image-and-sound.
How to watch 'Country Music' in Knoxville
Ken Burns' documentary series "Country Music" airs on PBS starting at 8 p.m. Sunday. New episodes continue daily through Wednesday. The second half of the series runs nightly at 8 p.m. from Sept. 22-25.
The series also is available to stream via PBS Passport.

Ants are a common insect distinguished by their surprising sense of organization. These eurosocial insects evolved about 140 million years ago and can now live and survive in almost any type of habitat around the world. But, because these insects are so small and we have become so used to them, some of us can tend to forget about how amazing they really are.
Do you want to find out everything you need to know about the ant species? If so, you’ve come to the right place! Here at AnimalWised not only will we be offering you a list of the most common 10 types of ants, and we’ll also include some pictures and interesting characteristics of each, keep reading to discover more about different types of ants.
For more about these creatures, we recommend reading our article where we discuss fossorial animals: what animals live underground?

How many types of ants are there
Ants are among the most common insects in the world. They are able to survive in almost all habitats and, sometimes, ant colonies are so abundant that they become a plague, difficult for human beings to control.
But, how many different types of ants are there? It is estimated that there are around 20,000 species of ants. Each of these species have different behaviors and characteristics but there are also several elements that they have in common. These elements include:
- Feeding: most species of ants feed on natural juices from fruits and flowers, while others feed on plants. In addition, there are some carnivorous species that consume dead insects, such as flies and cockroaches.
- Habitat and coexistence: ants live all over the world, except for Antarctica and some remote islands. Ants usually build anthills in earth and wood, although they can also organize themselves on building walls. All ant species live in colonies that reach up to 10,000 members. In the majority of anthills there is only one queen ant.
- Life period: ant life expectancy depends on the species, but most ants only live for a few months. At most, they may live for a year, but this is not very common.
- Behavior and organization: ants are very sociable and organised insects. Thanks to these two characteristics, all the ants in a colony share the same job of maintaining the anthill. Every individual ant holds a specific function. The main objective for all ants in a colony is to guarantee the colony’s welfare, making sure that all of the members are well protected. In addition, ants are very protective over their home, and won’t accept any other types of ants into their colony.
Keep reading to discover the most common types of ants and ant identification chart in the world:
Types of ants that bite
Ants generally defend themselves through bites. Sometimes these bites can be insignificant for people, but lethal for certain animals, especially other insects. There are some ants, however, that are incredibly dangerous and one bite from one of these can trigger sever complications and even death.
The world’s most dangerous ants and types of ants that bite include:
1. Bullet ant
The bullet ant or Paraponera clavata can be found in South America, mainly in countries such as Nicaragua, Paraguay, Venezuela, Brazil and Honduras. This type of black ant is known for having the most painful insect bite in the world, very similar to that of being shot by a bullet. A sting from this animal is considered thirty times more painful to a wasp’s sting.
A bullet ant bite can cause chills, sweating and even insensibility of the affected limb.
2. Bulldog ant
The bulldog ant, Giant killer bulldog ant or Myrmecia is located in Australia and New Caledonia. This ant is characterized by its huge yellow jaw, in addition to its reddish and brown tones. The bulldog ant carries a powerful poison capable of generating a painful burn on the skin which can leave permanent scarring or an incredibly severe allergic reaction, which has been known to be fatal.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the bulldog ant is the most dangerous ant in the world.
3. Red fire ant
The red imported fire ant, also known as the fire ant or Solenopsis richteri is deep black in color with fire tones. This ant, native to South America, is distinguish by its especially aggressive behavior. Unless provoked, it’s not common that this ant will bite / attack humans. The red fire ant has an incredibly poisonous bite, capable of causing persistent pain, similar to that of a wasp.
Fire ants can be found in Texas, Florida and most southern states.
4. African ant
The African ant, Pachycondyla analis or Megaponera foetens, is one of the most dangerous species of ant in the world and can be found in Senegal, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and Togo. They can measure between 5 and 18 mm and have a sting as well as strong triangular jaws, capable of piercing human skin.
Its neurotoxic venom is especially powerful, with which they manage to paralyze their victims.
Types of ants in a colony
As we’ve already mentioned, there are millions of ants all over the world. However, not all are poisonous. In general, there are many types of ants in house, homes or spaces that do not bite.
Some of the most widely distributed ant species around the world include:
5. Carpenter ant
The carpenter ant, Camponotus, is an ant species that inhabits America, Europe and Africa. There are two types of carpenter ant nests, divided between parent colonies and satellite colonies. This ant owes its name to the fact that they build their nests in wood. This can, however, have devastating consequences for the environment as these ant colonies expand and cause extensive damage to tree structures. In general, carpenter ants take refuge in rotten wood, which meets the appropriate humidity conditions of humidity to keep them alive.
Carpenter ants are polymorphic, which means all individuals vary in size and color. These ants feed mainly on dead insects, sweet plant substances, flowers, fruits, meats and fats.
Carpenter ants are common in places such as Illinois, Florida and Texas.
6. Argentine ant
The Argentine ant, scientifically referred to as Linepithema humile is endemic to Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. The Argentine ant measures around 2 to 3 mm, but they are especially aggressive and will battle for the control of the territory. When these ants invade space, however, their power and abundance often diminishes native species, causing irreversible changes to the ecosystem.
Argentine ants are common in humid areas such as Florida.
7. Leafcutter ant
There are, in fact, more than 40 species of leafcutter ants, which all belong to the genera Atta and Acromyrmex. These ants are characterized by their complex social forms of organization. A leafcutter ant colony is is divided into different classes known as castes: made up of a queen, soldiers, foragers and planters. Each individual has a specific objective to fulfill within this colony.
The queen is in charge of finding suitable nests and reproduction. The soldiers protect the colony from external threats and the foragers are in charge of digging tunnels and looking for food for the other ants. The planters, on the other hand, take care of the cultivation of fungi, larvae and developing eggs. This species of fieldcutter ant can be found from Panama to northern Argentina.
8. Odorous house ant
The odorous house ant or Tapinoma sessile is also known as the sugar ant or coconut ant and is part of the list of types of house ants. This house ant is native to the United States. When crushed, these ants release an unpleasant smell, hence their name. The odorous house plant live under under rocks, logs, debris or in other objects, including cracks in walls and floors.
9. Red wood ant
The red wood ant of wood or Formica rufa is a very common ant in Europe. These ants create large and visible colonies in dense forests, which are inhabited by around 200,000 individuals. They are omnivorous animals that feed on invertebrates, fungi and vegetables. These ants make up our list of ants that bite, but are as dangerous as those mentioned above.
10. Harvester ant
The harvester ant or Messor barbarus is a type of ant which can be found in Spain, Italy, France and Morocco. This ant type create nests in the ground and are strictly granivorous animals. This ant species stands out for its impeccable hygiene, as they are constantly cleaning themselves and their nests.
Types of ants with wings
It’s important to know that only reproductive ants have wings. Therefore, just because one ant of a species will have wings, it doesn’t mean they all do. These ants will only have wings for the breeding season. After breeding, the queen will lose her wings, ready to start a new nest and males die shortly after (a couple of months).
Types of house ants
Now that we’ve discussed the most common ant types, you may be wondering, ‘‘What kind of ants are in my house?’’ Some of which we’ve already mentioned. The most common types of house ants include:
- Carpenter ants
- Odorous house ants
- Pavement ants
- Argentine ants
- Fire ants
- Crematogaster ants
What do ants eat?
One of the best ways to make sure ants do not infest your home is by knowing what they eat. Most ant types feed on sugary nectar, so if you notice ants near your fruit, we recommend moving them so that the ants do not gather.
If you’ve noticed an ant infestation in your home, we recommend consulting a local pest professional to deal with the problem.

Odessey and Oracle is the second album from The Zombies an English band that broke up after recording it. It seems to be a trend of the 60s. It is ridiculous how most of these groups did not make it out of the 60s. I wonder if it will be similar for the 70s. I have never heard of The Zombies.
“Care of Cell 44” is the kind of psychedelic music I can enjoy. It is poppy and the vocals are great. It is about someone waiting for the return of their loved one from prison. With lines like “Feels so good you’re coming home soon” this has to be the happiest prisoner release song ever. I am surprised it was not a hit song.
I cannot imagine why they did not succeed. They had all the pieces for success. The lead singer has a beautiful voice and he was handsome. Being handsome should not be a requirement, but if you think about it it was necessary in the 60s. You need those screaming girls. The band is talented. They wrote all of their own songs on the album. I think they should have been patient and not let the valley they sunk into break them up.
The last song “Time of the Season” is the real kicker. It became a huge hit in 1969 after they broke up. Patience is the key. It is a song about free sex in the 60s. The themes of the 60s is free love, protesting something and war.
I think the album is great. It only has a few songs that I really like as singles, but as a whole I like the album and can listen to it without skipping about. 8.5/10.


The No. 1 player in golf already has three wins in 2015, including a World Golf Championship, and he has finished in the top 10 at both majors.
Halfway through the year, however, Rory McIlroy is playing second fiddle.
Remember the hype over McIlroy going for the career Grand Slam at the Masters? That was three months ago, and it seems like a lot longer. The attention has shifted to Jordan Spieth and his bid for an unprecedented sweep of the four majors in the same year. The real Grand Slam.
Arnold Palmer created it. Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods pursued it.

Some interrelations of root-rotting Basidiomycetes and soil-inhabiting Fungi imperfecti Pentland, Gertrude Draper
In the first of two parts of the investigation, the stimulation of Armiil aria mellea (Fr.) Quél., a common root-rotting fungus, by Aureobastdium pullulans (DeBary) Arnaud was studied. A. pullulans is an ubiquitous imperfect fungus, inhabiting soil and other substrates. It was shown to produce in culture a volatile, heat stable, neutral substance which stimulated the mycelial development, rhizomorph initiation and rhizomorph elongation of A. mellea. A. pullulans is the only microorganism reported so far to stimulate the growth of A. mellea. The effect of ethanol on the growth of A. mellea was similar to the effect of a cell-free filtrate from a liquid culture of A. pullulans. The cell-free filtrate was shown by gas chromatography to contain ethanol. Ethanol supplied daily as 50 ppm in a glucose-asparagine medium resulted in a ten-fold increase in the number of rhizomorphs produced by A. mellea. The effects of 3-indolylacetic acid, ɣ-(indole-3)-n-butyric acid, the sodium salt of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and tryptophane on the growth of A. mellea were tested, but the stimulatory effect of A. pullulans was not reproduced by them. One rhizomorph tip of A. mellea could develop an extensive rhizomorph system in autoclaved soil if the stimulatory substance produced by A. pullulans was available. In the second part of the investigation the effect of soil moisture and the related effect of some soil-inhabiting Fungi imperfecti on the spread through soil of the root-rotting Basidiomycete Coniopnora puteana (Schum. ex Fr.) Karst.were studied. A soil moisture level of 20 - 25% saturation was satisfactory for the growth of C. puteana in non-sterile soil. At this moisture level C. puteana was able to grow out from a small alder disc inoculum in the centre of a petri dish and invade alder discs at the periphery of the dish. In wetter conditions (50% saturation and higher) it was unable to grow out into the soil. In autoclaved soil the cptimum moisture level for the growth of C. puteana was between 75% and 100% saturation. Small amounts of non-sterile soil were added to autoclaved soil at different moisture levels, with an effect on the growth of C. puteanas similar to that of completely non-sterile soil. Trichoderma viride Pers. ex Fr., a known antibiotic producer, was inoculated in autoclaved soil and produced a greater inhibition of C. puteana in the wetter treatments than in drier ones. The inhibitory effect of Acti-dione (cycloheximide), an antifungal antibiotic active in the pH range 3-5, was examined in non-sterile soil end in autoclaved soil. The same concentration of antibiotic resulted in a greater inhibition of the growth of C. puteana at the higher moisture levels than at the lower ones.

Just thought I’d share a couple of my favorite beauty gurus to watch on YouTube I’ve learned so much from them, and I’ve discovered so many great new products from watching their videos. I enjoy so many of them that I’ll only mention a few this time around. More to come!
Emily has great reviews, a beautiful smile, and a bubbly personality! I love watching her videos, and I cannot help but want to be her friend! I enjoy that she makes more unique videos within the ‘beauty community’. Whenever I follow her product recommendations, I am not disappointing.
Kandee is adorable, and he smile is contagious! Her videos are so much fun! I especially love her “character makeup”. She could transfer herself into anyone!
I think Irene has some of the best makeup reviews! She’s very detailed and informative! She also takes requests! ;) Definitely check out her channel if you’re thinking about making a purchase… perhaps she has reviewed it for you. I so appreciate the time and effort it takes to give such thorough reviews.
Wayne Goss definitely knows what he is talking about when it comes to makeup. He has some great, new-to-me techniques and ideas when it comes to makeup. I have really enjoyed learning new things from him!
Kassie makes lots of fun favorites and hits & misses videos. I love hearing her opinions on new products! She does a weekly-sometimes monthly- makeup basket. She likes to rotate her makeup collection so she uses everything… what a great idea! Oh, and did I mention that she’s gorgeous?
That’s all for now! Perhaps I’ll do another post with more favorites in a bit. Thanks!!

You have a buzzing in your ears and it’s not improving, if anything it’s getting worse. It started off quietly enough, one of those “is it really there” kind of things. But after being at the construction site all day (for work), you’ve realized just how noisy (and how relentless) that buzzing has become. At times, it sounds like ringing or other noises. You’re considering coming in to see us, but you’re wondering: how is ringing in the ears managed?
The management of tinnitus (that’s what that buzzing is called) will vary from person to person and depend substantially on the origin of your hearing problems. But there are certain common threads that can help you prepare for your own tinnitus therapy.
There are a couple of different types of tinnitus
Tinnitus is incredibly common. The buzzing or ringing (or any number of sounds) in your ear can be caused by various underlying problems. So when it comes to treatment, tinnitus is normally divided into one of two categories:
- Medical Tinnitus: Inherent medical issues, including ear infections, too much earwax, a growth, or other medical problems, can be the cause of tinnitus. Treating the root medical issue will normally be the priority of your medical professional.
- Non-Medical Tinnitus: “Non-medical” nomenclature is usually saved for tinnitus caused by hearing damage or hearing loss. Over time, exposure to damaging noise (like the noise at your construction site) can cause constant, severe, and chronic tinnitus. It’s usually very challenging to manage non-medical tinnitus.
The best way to manage your symptoms will be determined by the underlying cause of your hearing issue and the kind of tinnitus you have.
Treatments for medical tinnitus
Your medical tinnitus symptoms will normally improve when the underlying medical problem is treated. Here are a few treatments for medical tinnitus:
- Surgery: Doctors might decide to perform surgery to remove any tumor or growth that might be causing your tinnitus symptoms.
- Antibiotics: Your doctor may prescribe you with antibiotics if your tinnitus is related to a bacterial ear infection. Once the infection goes away, it’s likely that your hearing will go back to normal.
- Hydrocortisone: Not all infections can be addressed with antibiotics. For instance, antibiotics never work on viral infections. Hydrocortisone might be prescribed in these cases to manage other symptoms.
You’ll want to schedule an appointment to come see us so we personalize a tinnitus treatment plan, especially if you’re coping with medical tinnitus.
Treatments for non-medical tinnitus
The causes of non-medical tinnitus are often a lot harder to detect and manage than is typically the case with medical tinnitus. There’s normally no cure for non-medical tinnitus (especially in cases where the tinnitus is a result of hearing damage). Instead, treatment to enhance quality of life by alleviating symptoms is the normal course of action.
- Noise-masking devices: These devices mask your tinnitus sounds by generating enough white noise to allow the buzzing or ringing to fade into the background. Certain sounds can be tuned into these devices depending on what noises your tinnitus is generating.
- Hearing aids: A hearing aid can help if your tinnitus is becoming worse as your hearing worsens. When you have hearing impairment everything externally becomes quieter and that can make your tinnitus noises seem louder. A hearing aid can help mask the sound of your tinnitus by amping up the volume of everything else.
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy: In some circumstances, you can be trained to ignore the noises of your tinnitus. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a widely utilized method designed to help you reach just that.
- Medications: There are some experimental medications available for dealing with tinnitus. For example, steroids and anti-anxiety medication mixtures can sometimes help decrease tinnitus symptoms. But before you make any decisions, you’ll want to speak with us.
Find what works
For most of us, it won’t be immediately clear what’s causing our tinnitus, so it’s likely you’ll have to attempt numerous approaches in order to effectively treat your own hearing problems. In most situations, tinnitus can’t be cured. But there are many treatments available. The trick is finding the one that works for you.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Senate confirmation hearings get underway for Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch next week. The seat Gorsuch was nominated to fill was a prominent issue in the 2016 presidential race as voters considered who should pick a justice to fill the ninth seat on an ideologically split bench.Senate Democrats this week revealed their strategy for questioning the reportedly even keel judge with a reputation for scholarly conservatism. Rep. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters that at his confirmation hearing next week they will argue that Gorsuch is a conservative activist with a pro-corporate bias in his rulings as an appeals court judge.”Judge Gorsuch may act like a neutral, calm judge, but his record and his career clearly show he harbors a right-wing, pro-corporate, special-interest legal agenda,” Schumer said.Schumer appeared on Capitol Hill with several individual plaintiffs that Gorsuch ruled against in his position as a judge on the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.”He expresses a lot of empathy and sympathy for the less powerful,” Schumer said, “but when it comes to time to rule, when the chips are down, far too often he sides with the powerful few over everyday Americans just trying to get a fair shake.”Conservative legal activists who support the nomination say that Democrats are cherry-picking a small number of rulings that distort Gorsuch’s 11-year record as a judge.The Republican-controlled Senate has to approve the appointment for it to take effect. Last year they refused to consider former president Barack Obama’s nominee to fill the vacancy caused by the February 2016 death of conservative justice Antonin Scalia, arguing at the time that with less than a year before the nation chooses a new president, the 45th one should make that call.Trump’s fellow Republicans control the Senate 52-48, but Schumer repeated his view that Gorsuch would need to win 60 votes, rather than a simple majority, to move toward confirmation. Democrats can seek to use a procedural maneuver to block a confirmation vote if Gorsuch’s supporters cannot muster 60 votes, although Republicans could change the Senate rules.

THE MORRIGAN'S CALL
Irish folk-metal troupe Cruachan definitely break the elements down pretty evenly on the 12-track THE MORRIGAN'S CALL. Heavy riffs with a black metal vibe clash with folk metal melodies with a distinctly Irish flavor across the entire release, allowing you to get your jig on while throwing the horns on cuts like "The Brown Bull of Cooley". Oh, imagine the moshpits as gleeful traditional Irish musicians turn in their graves as this unit's rendition of Celtic classics like "The Wild Rover" (aptly renamed "The Very Wild Rover") blares through the speakers. While definitely not for everyone, Cruachan's unique sound is a definite attention-getter.
