Nano Coin (NANO); a top 10 HODL for 2018!
Nano Coin (NANO) has been in the red zone for a long time but tables seem to be turning after the coin gained 6% in the past 24 hours. As a result the coin shot back to the above $4 mark and maintained its top 40 position in market cap. Basically, Nano's fundamentals make a lot of improvements in the crypto arena placing it among the favorable HODL coins at the moment.
What users might like the most from this innovation is its fast and transaction free nature which complements its functionality as a payment coin. Some crypto enthusiasts have argued that it might as well be the most effective crypto right now. The Nano wallet presents a perfect arbitrage opportunity by the fact that transactions within this wallet are not charged.
Scalability issues have haunted pioneer coins like the BTC; that is why Nano's DAG protocol using the block-lattice tech comes as a solution. This technology is free of the limitations suffered by coins facing scalability issues hence slow transactions per second. Users of the Nano coin can send and receive their altcoins within a few seconds even in the foreseeable future.
Another focus of this project is making the transactions and coins extremely light to avoid clogging the platform. The team has worked on this and transactions can use a small 1 UDP packet for peers operating within the network.
Nano is currently 15 months old and is traded on over 25 coin exchanges. The BTC, ETH, and USDT are the dominating trading pairs for this altcoin which was initially known as the XRB token. Nano is hopeful that larger exchanges like Coinbase will eventually list the coin in order for the crypto community to be able to purchase it using fiat currency. The coin has been undergoing security audits which will determine its future in the coming years.
This new technology used by the Nano team is quite different from the commonly known long chain decentralized public ledgers. The block-lattice tech is basically an advanced blockchain network that makes platforms highly scalable. So far, available theory suggests that the coin's scalability is infinite unlike most altcoins in the market. Users have their own blockchain ledgers connected to the main chain and a delegated proof of stake protocol is used within the network. However, the hardware and bandwidth components of this innovation do not fully agree with the idea of infinite scalability. This is because at some point the two will find it difficult to process the rate of transactions approved in the software component.
Crypto users will be able to access Nano wallets from their desired devices; this includes iOS, windows and Android. This wallet whose transaction fees will be free is set to increase Nano coin's efficiency as more users accept cryptocurrencies in the coming days.
User interfaces have proven to be an integral part of crypto adoption. Nano will soon be releasing a new block that will monitor live performance of the coin. This will result to a shift of base from nano.org to nanocode.co.
Users will be able to track over 50 most recent transactions once this application is launched. This will enable the crypto community using Nano coins to ensure their payments are secured via tracking.


And what better time to pause, than on World Kindness Week, right? So, how are you doing? Are you coping well with life…?
But First… What is World Kindness Day?
World Kindness Day, is marked annually, on 13th November as a day when the world celebrates good deeds and promotes acts of kindness.
It was first launched in 1998, by the World Kindness Movement, at a Conference in Tokyo, Japan. And though it's not officially recognized by all Nations, I believe that it has the potential to make a difference in our hurting world.
I can't help but think, that we need more kindness; not just on World Kindness Day, but every single day.
Honestly, I have my moments too. But having a core circle of people that you can reach out to, helps. Look around, is there someone who might need a hand?
Smile at a stranger in the street, or at a child on the bus.
Craving: A nice, juicy, meaty French Connection Burger from Urban. Goodness, why can't cravings play in the healthy-food zone? Does anyone even ever crave a salad?
Drinking: Sweet peppermint tea whenever I travel! I've made peace with the fact that trying to get find good black tea is a lost cause.
Learning: Spanish and Korean on this cool App called Duolingo! You can learn different languages at the same time for FREE! Give it a try amigos!
Looking: For a mentor in the Creative Space… Do you have a mentor? How did you identify them?
Making: A gratitude list every morning and evening before bed… Still a work in progress.
Noticing: How nice it feels to have short hair again!

CANADA - More research into sea lice and the effect they have on wild salmon is both important and necessary as the province and country looks to the protection of Pacific Salmon stocks, said British Columbian (BC) salmon farmers.
A new study published February 8 in the Public Library of Science ONE, offers a connection between sea lice on Fraser River Sockeye and from salmon farms. While the interaction of wild fish, farmed fish and sea lice is not new knowledge - the industry agrees with the researchers' notes that more experimental work is required.
"Our farmers take very seriously the responsibility of managing sea lice on our fish to ensure they are not putting additional stress on wild salmon," said Mary Ellen Walling, Executive Director of the BC Salmon Farmers Association. "Both sea lice and the challenges faced by BC's wild salmon are complicated, multi-layered issues and there is more work to be done."
The study itself notes that there are still significant unknowns: that the effect of sea lice infestation is not clear and that there is no explanation at this time for the notable differences in the kinds of louse found on the wild salmon.
It's an interesting addition to an extensive body of research that includes a study from December 2010, which showed that lice levels in the Broughton Archipelago had no relation to the number of wild salmon returns. Studies also show that once salmon have developed full scale systems (as Fraser River Sockeye have during their outmigration) they are resistant to damage from lice and that sea lice numbers can be higher away from farms than near them (see references on Question and Answer sheet).
"We think the genetics research here is interesting - and will help provide a fulsome view for people looking at the survival of Fraser River Sockeye," said Walling. "But we agree with what the authors of this report say: there are still questions here and more answers will only help make the environment and our industry healthier."

Q: Fraïssé limits and groups I was recently reading up on Fraïssé limits in Hodges' "A shorter model theory." I was trying to think of some examples and wanted to see if I could take the Fraïssé limit on the category of finite groups. It is clear that this category has the hereditary and joint embedding property. However, I am having trouble showing that this category has the amalgamation property, by which I mean that if there are finite groups $G, H, K$ such that there are embeddings $\varphi: G\hookrightarrow H$ and $\psi: G\hookrightarrow K$, then there exists a finite group $J$ and embeddings $\vartheta: H\hookrightarrow J$ and $\eta: K\hookrightarrow J$ such that $\vartheta\circ \varphi = \eta\circ \psi$.
One simplification is that we can, by taking isomorphic copies if necessary, assume that $H\cap K = G$, and that $\varphi $ and $\psi$ are just inclusion maps. I am not even sure what group $J$ should be. Any help would be appreciated.

A: It is a theorem of Schreier that every amalgam of two finite groups is strongly embeddable in a finite group. I think the result is contained in Die Untergruppen der freien Gruppen (Abh. math. Sem. Hamburg Univ. 5 (1927), 161-183); that paper at any rate contains the fact that any amalgam of two groups is strongly embeddable.
You could conclude it as an easy corollary of the following more recent theorem:
Theorem Let $B$ be a subgroup of both $K$ and $H$, and let $G$ be a subgroup of $B$ that is normal in $B$, $K$, and $H$, and such that $K/G$ and $H/G$ are finite. Then there is a strong amalgam of $K$ and $H$ over $B$ with $G$ normal and $J/G$ finite if and only if $K/GC_{K}(G)$ and $H/GC_H(G)$ generate a finite subgroup of the outer automorphism group of $G$.
Then apply the theorem with $G$ the trivial group.
This theorem appears in An amalgamation theorem for finite group extensions, by Frieder Haug, Ulrich Meierfrankenfeld, and Richard E. Phillips, Arc. Math. 57 (1991), p 325-331.

A: The Fraisse limit of the class of finite groups has been studied by Hall [Hall, P. Some constructions for locally finite groups. J. London Math. Soc. 34 (1959) 305--319. MR162845] and is therefore called Hall's universal group.

A: There is also a fairly explicit construction of one such J: one takes G = H ∩ K, and transversals S and T of G in H and K, and then J is the subgroup of Sym( G × S × T ) generated by the regular representations of both H and K (where an element of H fixes each point of T and views G × S as H).
This typically creates very large J.
Any such J as you asked for is called a (faithful, finite) completion of the (rank 2) amalgam (H, K).
Choosing different transversals can create different (faithful, finite) completions J.  However, I believe there are many more (faithful, finite) completions than those created by this method.  All of them are finite quotients of the universal completion mentioned in the comments, the free product with amalgamation.  Some have used the low index subgroup iterator to find finite faithful completions that have low index core-free subgroups.

In a letter to the prime minister, the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) said: "We shall request you to either declare the package before Budget or include the same in the forthcoming Budget."
New Delhi, Jan 21 () Traders' body CAIT Monday urged Commerce Minister Suresh Prabhu to order a probe into Witzig-Amazon bid to acquire Aditya Birla Retail Ltd, which operates supermarket store chain 'More'. Fair trade regulator CCI Friday said it has approved the deal.
It also demanded that the government should make it mandatory for the ecommerce companies to obtain a compliance certificate as on March 3, 2019 and the companies that do not have the certificate should be restricted to operate their ecommerce portal any more.
"Such e-commerce companies will continue their ulterior motives through such loopholes as they are doing since last many years and small retailers will be killed," CAIT alleged.
In a letter to industry secretary CAIT said stipulating a date for implementation of policy is an error on the part of the Department of Industrial Policy.
Two big players Flipkart and US-based Amazon are expected to be hit the hardest due to the amendments in the policy.
Half of the seven crore small businesses in the country can be brought under the indirect tax regime if its procedures were made simple, the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) stated.
"The FDI norms as spelled out in the policy should also be made applicable on domestic e-commerce players as well to restrict them from adopting any unethical business practices and remain at par with other e-commerce players," it said.
The marketplace itself cannot discriminate among vendors and one seller cannot have more than 25% of sales on one ecommerce marketplace.
"A regulator with proper enforcement powers would ensure that the said policy is strictly implemented," said Praveen Khandelwal, secretary general of CAIT.
Small and medium-sized vendors appreciated the norm barring e-commerce firms from discrimination among vendors in any form but questioned the feasibility of its implementation by platforms.
There should be a complete transparency in the e-commerce businesses in terms of pricing and discounts," the minister told .
The traders' body said that it would finalise the strategy and timeline for the protest at its National Governing Council meet next month.
CAIT and Swadeshi Jagran Manch, the economic wing of the RSS, have been against $16 billion Walmart-Flipkart deal since it was announced in May.
"The requisite FORMs shall be made available on the GST common portal shortly. Relevant order is being issued," said the statement.


If all this while you were avoiding broccoli for its distinct taste, then it's time for you to bring it in your diet as it may help you lose weight. From the dark green florets to the stalk, broccoli is replete with health benefiting properties. This cruciferous vegetable is a showstopper for healthy foods, thanks to its high vitamin C and antioxidant content. Its vitamin C content is known to be higher than many citrus fruits. According to the book, 'Healing Foods' by DK Publishing House, "Broccoli is rich in vitamin C and fibre and has the highest level of carotenoids – particularly eye-healthy lutein-of all brassicas."
Being low in calories, this veggie is a perfect option for those on a weight reduction diet.
Loaded with weight loss-friendly fibres, broccoli takes longer to digest, keeping you satiated for long. Consumption of this veggie helps you check your weight by keeping you away from other fattening foods. If you wish to make the most of this green wonder, you can eat it raw or steam lightly to retain its vitamin C, iron, and chlorophyll content.
According to the book ' Healing Foods', "Broccoli leaves contain more beta-carotene than the flower and stalks." Hence, the raw leaves may add a nutritional boost to salads as well. If you cannot eat broccoli in its raw form, then you can savour it by stuffing inside parathas as well. Yes, you read that right! Broccoli parathas are not only appealing to the eyes, but to the palate as well. Here's how you can make broccoli parathas at home. However, avoid use of oil or butter while making parathas as doing so would only hamper your weight loss efforts.
So, the next time you go out for grocery shopping, add broccoli in your basket and make the most of this veggie.

Being interviewed by the police is a confusing and distressing experience. Things are often said in haste that cannot be explained later. The law now recognises this, and following the Supreme Court's decision in the 'Cadder' case, persons detained by the police now have the right to access a solicitor.
Our solicitors will attend the police station at which you are being detained, or consult by telephone if this is impractical.
We will advise you of your rights to make sure you are fully informed, and that you do not make any statement which may be incriminatory. It's important you do not waive your right to legal assistance. In many cases, a seemingly innocuous statement made during a police interview has resulted in a conviction later.

"This dispatch is to be considered a war warning…"
Home/For Tenants, Leasing, Monthly eNewsletters, Property Management, Quick-Win Tips, Risk Management Tips/"This dispatch is to be considered a war warning…"
Aloha. Fresh off the plane from a vacation with the family in wonderful Hawaii, today's article is inspired by the trip and includes a little history lesson.
While it may contain the ramblings of a jet-lagged traveler, if you stay with me, I promise it will come full circle. You'll see why looking at the positive side of a situation, no matter how devastating, can benefit your personal/professional life, including real estate investments.
We land at Honolulu Airport, grab our luggage from the carousel then head to our hotel in Waikiki Beach. A bit tired, I sit in the front seat of our SUV listening to relaxing Hawaiian ukulele music with the lush landscape is passing by in the distance. Then I notice this highway sign: "Nimitz Highway."
I thought to myself, huh… that's interesting. I knew Chester Nimitz was a decorated admiral in WWII and had an aircraft carrier named in his honor, but I still wondered why he had a highway named for him. We were headed to the Pearl Harbor Memorial the next day and I hoped to learn more.
The next day, as we left the memorial and headed back to our hotel and enjoy the sands and surf, I continued to reflect on the actions of Kimmel, Short and Nimitz from that day's visit.
A War Warning
The notice of November 27, 1941, to Admiral Kimmel, began, "This dispatch is to be considered a war warning." It then went on to say that negotiations had ceased. Then directed the admiral to "execute an appropriate defensive deployment." Kimmel was ordered to undertake reconnaissance and any other measures he deemed necessary. In addition, a communication to General Short the same day declared that hostile action was possible at any moment. He was also urged measures of reconnaissance. However, as the history books tell us, their response to these warnings and measures that were taken proved far from adequate on that fateful date in December.
A Silver Lining
Sunday, December 7th, 1941, Admiral Chester Nimitz was told by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt that he (Nimitz) would now be the Commander of the Pacific Fleet. Admiral Nimitz landed in Hawaii on Christmas Eve 1941 to assume command of the Pacific Fleet. There was such a spirit of despair, dejection and defeat — you would have thought the Japanese had already won the war. On Christmas Day, 1941, Adm. Nimitz was given a boat tour of the destruction wrought on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese and as the tour boat returned to dock, the young helmsman of the boat asked, "Well Admiral, what do you think after seeing all this destruction?" Admiral Nimitz's reply shocked everyone within the sound of his voice. Admiral Nimitz said, "The Japanese made three of the biggest mistakes an attack force could ever make, or God was taking care of America. Which do you think it was?" Admiral Nimitz proceeded to point out the three mistakes the Japanese made and was able to see a silver lining in a situation and circumstance where everyone else saw only despair and defeatism.
(Here's a concise explanation of the highlights on what happened at Pearl Harbor.)
So why did Nimitz get a highway named after him? And, why in Honolulu?
Seeing what is possible and taking advantage of the opportunities in light of disaster and constraints is what Nimitz did so well. That's one of the numerous reasons why he's memorialized in Honolulu. It was starting to make more sense.
In our own lives, accidents or challenges happen. Some could have been avoided, others not so much. Our houses may be damaged by water or fire, giving us the opportunity to rebuild, minimize the clutter in our lives, or re-examine our insurance policies. Or, our business models might be subject to unforeseen disrupters, forcing us to pivot and try new technologies or strategies.
So, will you be like Nimitz or Kimmel or Short?
Will there be a highway named after you someday?

Q: Mesuring amperage in car battery system I recently bought a van that has a starting and an auxillary battery, who ever installed it didn't isolate it from the starting battery. I'm planning on installing a simple switch to isolate it, but I need to know how many amps it needs to be rated for.
How can I find this out? I have a multi- meter, but worry that the amperage may be high enough to blow it even unfused (it says 10A max) if I connect it in series between the aux battery and the incoming + lead.

A: You are right to be cautious. The big lead-acid batteries can give out hundreds of amps.

Figure 1. Battery isolator or master switch.
A battery isolator is made for this task. The battery negative lead is disconnected from the battery, the end with the bolt slid onto the post and the original lead-clamp connected to the other end. You can just see in the photo the insulating layer peeping out at the rear terminal. Screwing down the green knob connects both halves together with a large contact area to prevent heating.
Your local auto parts supplier will have them.
Back to the question:

I have a multi-meter, but worry that the amperage  may be high enough to blow it even unfused (it says 10A max) if I connect it in series between the aux battery and the incoming + lead.

You can't with the equipment you've got. With the isolator suggested you won't have to.

A: The weaker (AUX?) of the two batteries determines the ESR ( in micro/milliohms) and using the CCA rating is a rough measure of ESR rated @7.5V from full charge @12.5V or a 5V drop.
e.g. a 10 mohm 12V battery with 12.5V  no load and 11.5V with a load is expected to draw 1V/0.01Ohm= 100 Amp.  THe same is true of a battery switch with a 1 V drop and the total ESR of the 2 batteries is 10mA. It is expected to switch 100A until the charges equalize.
A Battery is expected to be in the range of 10k Farads or more with low ESR, but there is also a secondary charge layer (C2*ESR2) which gives rise to the memory effects with a certain time constant T2 in normal operating range. It gets complicated, but this is your main storage with a long time constant and the low ESR is short term storage.   THis is why if you fail to start a car and the voltge drops down momentarily, it resumes to the previously voltage due to the bulk larger C which has larger ESR.  THis larger C2*ESR2 affects your Ah capacity but not your CCA rating although they are somewhat related.
But if you keep the batteries in their normal range of 11.5 to 12.5 when not being charged, the max Current surge should be determined by the weaker of the two batteries for CCA rating.  THis may be your AUX battery.
Thus  Isw/1V(drop) =CCA/5V(drop) or Isw= CCA/5V
So if CCA is 500A , the switch ought to be rated for 100A surge.  You can make it cheap Ammeters rated for this which use heavy copper shunts and sensitive 50kOhm/V galvometers but often sold for 50~100$
NEVER Use a 10A DMM unless you current limit with a tungsten headlamp bulb which acts a a constant current PTC.

If anything use a 55W Headlamp in series to limit the charge current so you can use a smaller A Rated switch or 25A Relay.

Bill Reading Filibuster is Back: House and Senate Moving Slow
by Courtney Carter March 23, 2016 March 23, 2016
JACKSON, MISS– Your lawmakers have until March 30th to clear the House and Senate agenda, or the current bills die.
UPDATE: The House is moving quickly now.. sort of. The House Dems are filibustering from a different perspective after the leadership pushed the airport bill to the top of the agenda. The Dems are now blocking all discussing by asking the bills to read another time. This requires moving on to the next item on the agenda.
UPDATE: Executive Director of Mississippi Democratic Trust, David McDowell has released a statement about the conduct of the legislative business in the House today:
"House Democrats entered into this deliberative body in good faith, yet day-in and day-out, House Republicans have chosen to silence legislators and have refused the opportunity for respectful procedure. This is not the legislature that Mississippians elected, nor is it the legislature Mississippians deserve. Today I watched children ushered into the North Gallery to learn the wrong lessons about how our democracy works. For all intents and purposes, Republican leadership has abandoned the concept of "democracy" at the Capitol."
UPDATE: The Senate now has an automated reader. The voice is slower, more understandable, than the House reader.
Lt. Governor Tate Reeves notes that in his career in his position, bills have not been read aloud until today.
Part of the agenda is discussing House Bill 2162, which could create a Task Force on the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority, taking full control of the airport away from the city of Jackson.
The controversial bill is highly opposed by members of the Black Caucus, and members in the House and Senate are asking that bills be read aloud. In the Senate, the bills are read at a normal rate by a person. But in the House, an automated voice reads them.
The current setting of the automated voice speed is at 10, with 1 being the lowest. At 10, the speed is so high that the words cannot be understood.
Questions regarding parliamentary procedure are being raised, which further slows the process.
So now, bills are not being understood, cannot be questioned or clarified unless the chairmen yield, and the machine doesn't have to be slowed down.
News Mississippi will continue to follow the events on the House and Senate floor today.

Rico Coleman scores game-winning 3 at buzzer.
Two years ago, Midlothian hosted Clover Hill at home with one of the craziest basketball finishes in Trojan basketball history. In the Junior Varsity game that day, then sophomore and now senior Tyler Gregory heaved up a half-court shot, and as time expired, swished in a 3-pointer to win. Two years later, many of those same players on that JV team now play Varsity Basketball, including senior Rico Coleman.
Midlothian ended up mounting its comeback, and the Trojans took the lead late in the 3rd quarter. They maintained their lead through the 4th, as Clover Hill kept the game close. As the clock wound down to the end of the 4th, Clover Hill secured possession with 15.6 seconds left, trailing by 2. Clover Hill's 6'6″ Mike Burfoot caught the ball in the post and finished a difficult post-hook to tie the game at 49. Midlothian Coach David Brohl called a timeout with 5.5 seconds remaining and drew up his play.
They planned to pass the ball to a trailing Rico Coleman, much like Villanova scored to win the 2016 NCAA National Championship. Coleman, who had already hit 5 threes on the day, caught the ball with 2 seconds left near half court, took a dribble, and the rest was history, as he knocked down his 6th and most crucial 3-pointer of the night. Coach David Brohl described the shot by stating, "As soon as he let it fly, I knew it had a chance." Brohl shows he has full confidence in his players to make these type of plays at the end of games. This final shot boosted Midlothian over Clover Hill to win 52 – 49.
Coleman finished the game with 24 points to lead the Trojans, as Lucas Via ended with 9 points and 9 rebounds. A tough game offensively for the Trojans ended in a difficult three pointer, resulting in back-to-back wins for the Trojans.

Today's Devotional: Deeper Than Words Called
Review: '1917' Is Unlike Anything You've Seen Before
by Jesse Carey
Union General William Sherman is credited with coining one of the most well-known phrases about war. It's a simple, devastating idea: War is hell.
In the new WWI film 1917, that idea is at the forefront. From its tours of rat-infested bunkers, overcrowded frontline trenches and indiscriminate barbed wire lines to its explorations of bombed-out villages and rivers now overtaken with the bodies of soldiers who died violently in battle, the movie is unflinching, transforming the European countryside into a convincing hellscape.
In recent years, filmmaker Sam Mendes has been best-known for helming two hit James Bond movies (Skyfall and Spectre) but unlike his 007 entries, 1917 doesn't relish its violence. It doesn't glamorize it either. Every rifle shot, mortar round or knife blade is an instrument of cold death.
Here, war is hell.
The film's entire plot is set up within the first few minutes when two young British soldiers learn that they are being sent on a nearly impossible mission: They must cross a dangerous stretch of no man's land alone to warn a fellow English regiment to call off a planned attack on the Germans. The Germans have laid a trap for the regiment and the lives of 1,600 soldiers—including one of the young men's brothers—are at stake.
The tight plot serves as a tool for Mendes to turn his camera to the devastation of war. The movie is comprised of impressively long takes, which leaves the audience no choice but to walk beside the two protagonists as they climb through trenches of bodies on the battlefield and witness the utter horror of the first World War.
Mendes and his team make the movie feel like you are watching one, unrelenting single shot. It's like the first 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan, stretched out for an entire movie with few moments that can break the tension of knowing that death is always looming.
The single-shot effect through the unrelenting chaos of war makes it a film unlike any you've experienced before.
The film shows just what war can do to the people tasked with fighting it: It can turn an act of mercy into an opportunity for violence; it can turn a proud commander into a weeping shell of himself; it can force you to try to detach from the reality around you as a means of surviving it.
But, though 1917's depictions of war's horror is what makes it such a jarring—and stirring—experience, it's Mendes' story of heroism that makes it so moving. War not only pushes some people to their darkest and most broken, but it can also push some to their most selfless.
The entire film hinges on the two heroes' ability to put others' safety and wellbeing ahead of their own. Ultimately, it isn't fear or hatred that drives their war efforts; it's the act of saving others that motivates them to try to overcome seemingly impossible circumstances.
Trailer: 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' Prepares You For Chaos
Though WWI is now documented history, the ideas behind 1917 are startlingly prescient. The film doesn't bother in unpacking the geopolitics of the war or even the stakes of large-scale outcomes. Its concern is with the people who are on the frontlines, and the ones who have found themselves in the crossfire. Mendes may not intentionally be making a political statement with his film, but it does have a lot to say as headlines are once again teeming with talks of war.
Nations may rise and fall because of wars, but humanity always loses. Some wars may be deemed "necessary" or even just, but they come with a cost that is easy to ignore if you haven't experienced war's destruction.
There's a scene early in the film, when the two British soldiers come across a small, abandoned countryside farm, where the surrounding cherry blossom trees have been chopped down in the chaos of the German invasion. As one of the two young men laments the senseless act of destruction, the other offers some insight: having grown up near cherry blossoms, he knows that if they are chopped down, their seeds will fall and spread, and the orchard may grow to become even more fruitful in the future. In the wake of war, it is possible to come back stronger.
At its core, that's the message of 1917. Yes, it is an exercise in masterful filmmaking, but it's also a startling look at why we should never want to create the kind of violence that it depicts again. It's a lesson about the dangers of allowing the past to repeat itself.
1917 provides a glimpse at the utter devastation that past wars have created, but hopefully, it's also a reminder of why we should be so invested in preventing future generations from experiencing them themselves.

Professors tackle movies and the Bible
Two Greensboro College professors have had essays included in a new book on how movies interpret the Bible.
W. Barnes Tatum, Jefferson Pilot Emeritus Professor of Religion and Philosophy, contributed an analysis of Franco Zeffirelli's 1977 six-hour mini-series, "Jesus of Nazareth."
Rhonda Burnette-Bletsch, Lucy H. Robertson Professor of Religion, contributed analyses of Stanley Kubrick's film "2001: A Space Odyssey," produced in 1968, and Ridley Scott's film "Blade Runner," produced in 1982.
Their work is part of "Bible and Cinema: Fifty Key Films," edited by Adele Reinhartz and published in the U.S. and the U.K. by Routledge.
Both Tatum and Burnette-Bletsch participate in the Religion and Film Section of the Society of Biblical Literature. Burnette-Bletsch also serves as a film editor of the emerging "Encyclopedia of the Bible and its Reception," whose first volume was published in 2005 by DeGruyter.
Tatum recently published the third edition of his book "Jesus at the Movies: A Guide to the First Hundred Years and Beyond."
Tatum assumed emeritus status in 2009 after having joined the faculty in 1973. He holds an A.B. from Birmingham-Southern College; an M.L.S. from the University of Saint Andrews; a B.D. from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro; and a Ph.D. from Duke University. Burnette-Bletsch, who joined the faculty in 1997, holds a B.S. and a Ph.D. from Duke University.

Many real estate agents advise their clients to make safe and neutral finish choices when updating your home. Though you are less likely to make a mistake this way, you can also end up with a house that looks like everyone else's. Not the best decision when it comes to getting buyer's attention and commanding the most for your home on the open market.
Instead, we advise carefully wading through the more interesting options and choosing those that enhance the character of your home. This is best done as part of a cohesive vision for your house which brings together your flooring, finishes, and paint colors. Here are a few things you may consider . . .
There are so many options beyond the classic square and rectangular tiles we commonly see at home improvements store. Why not choose something with more character?
Think outside the white molding and neutral cabinet box. Select a few strategic areas to add a splash of carefully-chosen color!
Also consider installing moldings at non-traditional heights as well as wrapping the top wall color up and onto the ceiling.
A simple turning of the boards on a vertical fence can a world of difference and usually cost little more.
All photos thanks to Pinterest.
We can't emphasize enough how these elements need to be part of a cohesive overall vision. However, we are confident if you take the time to bring it all together, details such as these can bring tons of character to your home and make sure that future buyers won't be able to pass it up.
Thanks Jim! You were instrumental in bringing many of these character elements into our home!

The Astoria Line did not come into being until the era of The Dual Contracts, when it and the IRT Flushing Line were constructed to serve the northern part of Queens. These were perhaps the most cooperative portions of the project since both the IRT and BMT would share the routes and operate them jointly.
The original arrangement, beginning around 1920, was that the IRT (now the 7) ran through the Steinway Tunnel, and the Second Avenue El ran over the Queensborough Bridge, and met at Queensborough Plaza. From there, trains ran to either Flushing or Astoria.
Queensborough Plaza Station was built with eight tracks on two levels, served by four island platforms. The BMT operated the northern half of the station and the IRT ran the southern half. The north station had two platforms that fit the wider ten foot BMT subway cars and two for the narrower el cars. The southernmost pair of tracks connected to the Steinway Tunnel, while the next set north connected to the Second Avenue El. Both of these could serve either line in Queens via scissors crossovers west of the platforms on either level. The northerly pair of tracks curved to the Astoria Line and the southerly pair connected to the Flushing Line.
The BMT originally operated to tail tracks west of the station, maintaining the upper level east, lower level west configuration along with Astoria north/Flushing south. This was altered when the 60th St. tunnel was opened and connected to the northerly pair of tracks, which then connected to a easterly tail track for reversing direction. The BMT tracks descended to a lower level east of the station for a flying junction with the IRT. When the Second Avenue El was closed in 1942, the upper portion of the north side fell into disuse, and the lower level was used by IRT subway trains going from Astoria to Times Square. There was a crossover just west of the station which allowed the Astoria trains to access the Steinway tunnels. That crossover was subsequently removed after the joint operation ceased in 1949.
The BMT used rebuilt el cars which were of IRT width on the Astoria line. (Prior to 1942, IRT trains ran from South Ferry via the Second Avenue El across the Queensborough Bridge. The # 3 ran to Astoria and the # 4 to Corona.) After the closure of the Second Avenue El, the # 8 train was on the Astoria Line until 1949 when the BMT took over the Astoria Line. In 1949, it was decided to extend the BMT Subway trains to Astoria and discontinue the joint operation. The Astoria line became BMT-only. A new connection was provided from the 60th St. Tunnel to the former Second Avenue portion of the IRT station, and the platforms were cut back there and along the Astoria Line. The entire north half of Queensborough Plaza Station was abandoned in October 1949, along with most of the flying junction. Disused trackways can be seen descending to the former lower level along both existing lines, but the active trackways are those of the original IRT. The abandoned North half of Queensborough Plaza was torn down in 1964. One set of crossovers remains on the upper level as the Flushing Line's only connection to the rest of the system.
From 1949 to 1955, the 4th Avenue Local, later to become the RR, served the Astoria line twenty-four hours a day. During this time, the Brighton local, later to become the QT, also served the Astoria line Monday through Saturday between approximately 6 A.M. and 7 P.M. From 1955 to 1961, The 4th Avenue Local continued to serve Astoria twenty-four hours a day. The Brighton express ran to Astoria rush hours Monday through Friday during this time as well. From 1961 to 1967, the Brighton local (the QB or the QT) ran to Astoria twenty-four hours a day. The QT ran weekdays from 6 A.M. to 7 P.M. while the QB ran the rest of the time. In addition, the West End express (T) ran to Astoria rush hours Monday through Friday between 1961 and 1967. Beginning in 1967, with the opening of the Chrystie Street connection, the RR provided exclusive service on the Astoria line. For about a year in the mid-1980s, when the Manhattan Bridge was completely closed to subway traffic, the center track was used for express B service in the peak direction during rush hours. In addition, there was express N service that utilized the center track for a period of time also in the mid-1980s. On May 5, 1986, as the remainder of the double letter routes were changed, the RR was renamed the R train.
In 1987, the R and the N changed terminals, and the N was assigned to Astoria service, and continues to run on the Astoria line to this day. On August 15, 2001, due to reconstruction of the Manhattan Bridge subway tracks, several trains were rerouted and added, including a new W train, whose northern terminal is Ditmars Boulevard. The W made express stops along the Astoria line in the rush hour direction, until, responding to customer complaints, the MTA performed a study and discovered the W was underutilized while the N had become more crowded during rush hours. As a result, on January 15, 2002, the W began making all local stops along with the N train on the Astoria line at all times. This situation continued until September 8, 2002, when, due to the reconstruction of the Stillwell Avenue terminal, the W train began to serve the Astoria line exclusively on weekends and late nites, leaving the N train running along the Astoria line only on weekdays and evenings.
When construction on the Manhattan Bridge was finally completed in 2004, trains were once again allowed to run on both the north and the south side of the bridge. As a result, beginning on Sunday, February 22, 2004, the routes of many subway lines were changed, including the N and the W. The N train has resumed running locally at all times along the Astoria line while the W train now only serves the Astoria line on weekdays and does not run on weekends or late nights.
The Astoria line is entirely elevated and consists of three tracks, including one express track that begins just south of the 39th Avenue/Beebe station. There are seven stations on the Astoria line, including Queensborough Plaza, all of which opened for service on July 19, 1917. The terminal stop on the line is Ditmars Boulevard, which consists of one island platform and two tracks. The Astoria Boulevard/Hoyt Avenue station has two island platforms and three tracks, while 30th Avenue/Grand, Broadway, 36th Avenue/Washington, and 39th Avenue/Beebe all are serviced by two side platforms and three tracks.
The Astoria elevated continues to be of vital importance to the neighborhood of Astoria, Queens. It provides a rapid link with Manhattan, and continues to bring vitality and growth to the neighborhood.

Two levels; one island platform and two tracks on each level. This station is shared between the IRT Flushing Line and the BMT Astoria Line, and is unique in being the only station with across the platform transfer between the BMT and IRT and their differing car width specifications. The station's upper level serves Queens-bound trains, and the lower level serves Manhattan-bound trains. The Flushing line train uses the southern track on each level. The lower level has walls on the track-side edge, with windows of frosted wire glass on the upper half of both walls. From this level, there's another flight down to a mezzanine which has a concrete ramp across Queens Plaza North to the second floor of a building. A new computer-assisted tower is being installed in a new structure on the south end.

Express station, two island platforms and three tracks. There is a covered waiting area on the Manhattan-bound island platform. The exit is in the center. There are twin fare controls but a crossunder is behind the booth. The westbound platform has a sign giving this station the tertiary name of Columbus Square. We have two postcard views from the platform; to the west is the suspension span of the Triborough Bridge and to the east is the Grand Central Parkway in an open cut layout and the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. In an interesting layout, there is an extended exit from the east island platform. Features are like Broadway with respect to design.
This station was the site of an accidental demolition of a large section of the mezzanine in May 1998. Early on a weekday morning, a backhoe working underneath the station (not performing NYCT-related work) struck the mezzanine ripping out three support beams and damaging four more, creating a huge hole in the mezzanine floor. No one was hurt; in fact, trains continued running through the station with slow speed limits in place, but did not stop. Cleanup work began immediately and by noon, the slow speed was removed. By 3pm, a temporary wood floor had been installed. Less than eight hours from the time of the first response the station was back in full service. Permanent repairs were made overnight. The mezzanine demolition accident proves that New York City Transit workers are truly capable of herculean efforts to restore/maintain service in cases of service disruption.

Two tracks and an island platform, partially located under the Hell Gate Bridge. In an odd layout, the station has a canopy for the portion under the bridge! The mezzanine has twin fare controls, with double wide stairs. There is a pedestrian bridge to the adjacent Garry Building's second floor. A view from the platform reveals a painted mural on the east wall of the bridge entitled Americana.

During Ubuntu GNOME Weekly Meeting #1 for Utopic Unicorn Cycle, I have proposed an idea/suggestion and Ubuntu GNOME Team voted YES for this idea.
WHAT ARE THE TASKS / WHY THIS BOARD ?
1- Vote for any decision to be made within Ubuntu GNOME Community. In short, no decision within Ubuntu GNOME Community to be made unless the Leaders Board (Council) vote for it - 50% + 1. Example: If the board consists of 7 members then if 4 of them will vote YES, the new decision will be approved.
3- The Main reference for anything related to Ubuntu GNOME: Information, etc. In short, Ubuntu GNOME Leaders Board (Council) is the official representative of Ubuntu GNOME.


In our last 4-Points Broadcast, we left off our discussion talking about the force of energy inherent in our thoughts.
We talked about how to harness the power of that energy by understanding the law of protocol.

While you can certainly buy a bunch of expensive equipment and enjoy virtual reality in the comfort of your own home, the real promise of the technology has always been an experience that allows you to physically move around a virtual world. Local startup MassVR has developed a VR gaming platform that allows up to eight players to face off against each other in an arena a bit larger than a regulation basketball court that tracks their position and movements (and prevents players from running into each other).
MassVR will open its 6,000-square-foot VR gaming facility in Schiller Park (5135 Pearl Street), just south of Rosemont, on February 2. Gamers will be able to book time to play four-on-four matches of VR Champions—a first-person shooter simulation that appears to be inspired by video games like Halo and Call of Duty. The game tracks players' movements in the real world, allowing them to run, jump and ride zip lines through a virtual environment while shooting at their opponents.
A single session at MassVR is $40—a bit pricey, but comparable to the cost of admission at a similar Star Wars-themed VR attraction that recently opened outside of Disneyland.
Take a look at some footage of the VR Champions game as well as some video of players running around MassVR's physical arena.

Legislative Hearing Today Re: Jail Radio Systems
COBA Announces Class Action Grievance vs County and Sheriffs Dept at Legislative Hearing Today Regarding Correctional Center Radio System
****See video link below****
Earlier today a Legislative Hearing was held in Mineola wherein a proposed contract was scheduled to be voted on regarding the construction and expansion of the Countywide land/mobile radio system.
This system as described will provide "mission critical communications for the Police Dept, Sheriffs Dept, DPW, OEM and other Countywide Services."
The contract price for the services under this agreement are stated to not exceed approximately $94 million dollars with an additional $28 million for Maintenance and Lifecycle Services.
COBA obviously fully supports this contract as the Sheriffs Dept, our Members and numerous other County Agencies will benefit greatly from this project moving forward.
There is only one problem and we all know exactly what it is. The initial rollout of the Motorola Radio System at our facility has been abysmal.
The Correctional Center Radio System has been plagued with repeated transmission outages since its installation in early July. COBA has repeatedly complained to the County and Motorola that this system is not working properly, only to be told that while there are technical problems with the system, there are also "user error" issues and that our people need to learn the new system. While there is certainly a "getting used to" period with all new things, none of this explains the repeated broadcast transmission issues we have seen here and we would not stand still while these issues continued hoping they would resolve themselves.
As such, COBA took the opportunity at today's Legislative Hearing on the expansion of the radio project to announce that we have filed a Class Action Grievance against the County and the Sheriffs Dept over their failure to adequately address the continued problems with our Radio System.
We also demanded that a Committee be formed immediately with all of the stakeholders including the Police Dept, the Sheriffs Dept, COBA, Motorola and members of the Legislature to assure that as part of the approval of the new system, that all of the bugs are worked out of OUR system with everyone in the room so there can be no deniability by any party involved.
All of this was agreed upon today.
Please see below a video of today's testimony that included myself and a familiar name to all of us, Nassau PD Chief Ron Walsh who heads up the radio project for the entire county. Unfortunately, just as today's testimony was about to begin, Chief Walsh learned of the death of his hospitalized father Ron Walsh Sr from COVID-19. Ron Sr was a longtime County employee having worked for the Public Safety Office until as recently as Nov 10th before he contracted COVID.
It was contemplated to delay today's testimony out of respect for Chief Walsh, but the radio project was going to be voted on today either way, and from our perspective we had to make clear that the health, safety and interest of our Correction Officers was also paramount and squarely attached to the vote on this project.
The Legislature approved the item with our demand for immediate action with the formation of a multi agency committee to address the Correctional Center's radio problems and find solutions, along with the fact that our Class Action Grievance Grievance is now tied to the project and the record going forward.

If you've tried out pinterest, you've seen tons of inspiration and ideas floating all over the place. Ideas on how to decorate your dream house alongside tutorials for creating shamrock wreaths. How to make creative lunches for your children and what workouts best tone your body in 30 days. You name it, it can be found on pinterest. I search far and wide for ideas to decorate and craft and cook but there is one thing I actually avoid when perusing pinterest:: photography. In some ways, I feel like its cheating myself. Every once in awhile something will be re-pinned from people I follow and I will stash it away for inspiration but I really want to be careful. Aside from the whole "plagiarism" mentality poured into our noggins at the elementary level, this borrowing of inspiration from others is what is contributing to (I think) my creative block. How can I CREATE something original if I'm copying someone else's creations? A light bulb burns dimly above my head. I crave to create, not copy. I crave to create something that is representative of me and who I am– a tangible expression of the insides of Elizabeth that only Elizabeth can produce. My work, my art is an intimate expression of who I am. If I'm not creating, then… am I lying?
I close my eyes and dream a little. I imagine horses galloping across a tall sunlight field at sunset. I see colors: pink, orange, yellow. I see texture: flowing manes, blades of tall grass, dust, dirt. I see light. I see peace. I see inspiration.
My heart starts to soar as I imagine what the image in my mind will look like huge on a wall. This is the essence of creating. I imagine this is what God does when he dreams up a new soul in heaven… This is creation. We are unique. Each and every one of us. And we all have something awesome to contribute. Closing our eyes to the distractions and looking inside will reveal magnificent ideas, stories and images all within our own capacities.
When you close your eyes, what do YOU see?

Tonight's Movie: Post Office Investigator (1949)
POST OFFICE INVESTIGATOR (1949) is a low-budget 60-minute crime film released by Republic Pictures.
The movie was a reunion for leads Warren Douglas and Audrey Long, who had costarred as crime-solving honeymooners in the previous year's HOMICIDE FOR THREE (1948).
This time around Audrey is the femme fatale, who helps pull off a con job which involves swiping a rare stamp worth $100,000.
As part of the plan her partner in crime mails the stamp, but Audrey pulls off a double-cross and convinces gullible postman Douglas to retrieve the letter from the mailbox and give it to her so she won't lose her mythical job. She rewards him with the promise of a date, but when he shows up, she doesn't work at the law firm she'd claimed to work at. Lucky for Douglas, cute Jeff Donnell does work at the firm, and she ends up going out with him instead!
Douglas's life is threatened and eventually he has to come clean to the postal inspector that he broke regulations and gave Long the envelope. He redeems himself by going undercover to help break the case, although as it turns out Donnell will also play a key role, recognizing Long and tailing her at a critical juncture. In the end it appears Douglas will be allowed to keep his job and end up with Donnell while Long goes off to the slammer, so all's well that ends well!
The big draw for me with this film was the presence of the two leading ladies, Audrey Long and Jeff Donnell. It was quite different seeing Long play a woman who swindles, shoots, and freely talks about bumping people off, as she more typically plays the innocent type in films such as BORN TO KILL (1947) and DESPERATE (1947). I'm struck by what a chameleon Long can be; like noir actress Coleen Gray, her entire appearance can be very much changed when she changes her hairstyle.
Donnell is someone who's really grown on me over the years, with my favorite Donnell roles including IN A LONELY PLACE (1950) and FLIGHT NURSE (1953). For a movie with a short running time and a lot of crime, it would still be a fairly plodding low-rent affair if not for Donnell's perky charm. She enlivens every scene in which she appears.
POST OFFICE INVESTIGATOR was directed by George Blair, who also directed HOMICIDE FOR THREE, and filmed in black and white by John MacBurnie.
The supporting cast includes Jimmie Dodd, Thomas Browne Henry, Marcel Journet, Cliff Clark, Vera Marshe, Emmett Vogan, and Jason Robards (Sr.). Apparently I missed picking out Robert J. Wilke as a policeman; it's always fun to see one of the great '50s Western villains on the side of law and order.
Many thanks to John Knight for his help seeing this movie.

With the new Financial Ordinance coming into effect from the new fiscal year, beer, liquor, cigarettes will be dearer.
The government, in the budget for the next fiscal year, has increased excise duty and customs duty on beer, liquor and cigarettes, while it has slashed the customs duty on the import of electric and hybrid vehicles, television assembling parts, palm oil, raw pulses and raw breakfast cereals. Telecom services will be dearer, the addition of one percent in the telecom service charge. The government has stated the amount raised from this will be deposited in the Heritage Fund.
Beer and wine made in Nepal would be costlier by 6-6.5 percent as the government has increased the excise duty on beer to Rs98 per litre from Rs92 per litre of earlier.
Excise duty on wine has been raised by Rs66 per litre, from current Rs60 per litre. The government increased excise duty on cigarettes by Rs1 per stick. The liquor will be dearer now as excise duty for liquor has been increased to Rs551 and Rs793 per litre, from Rs501 and Rs538.
The government has increased the customs duty on imported wine, brandy, whisky and vodka to Rs1,200 per litre from Rs1,000. The duty of imported cigarettes rose to Rs4.5 per stick from Rs3.5.
In an effort to promote electric and hybrid vehicles, the customs duty of electric and hybrid vehicles has been slashed by 50 percent. This has been one of the demand of the importers of electric and hybrid vehicles.
There is also a 20 percent reduction in the custom duty of television parts. Customs duty on raw breakfast cereals like oats, corn flakes and porridge has been set to 5 percent. Edible oil and pulses would be cheaper as oil and pulses industry will get 50 percent discount on raw seeds.

Terrance Carlisle Arrested for Carnal Knowledge of Juvenile
Terrance Carlisle
On Wednesday, March 18, 2015, at 8:07 am, St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a residence in the 2000 block of Cambridge Drive in LaPlace for the report of suspicious activity. The complainant told deputies that the 14-year-old girl who lived at the residence was supposed to be at school, but she was seen entering the residence with an unknown older man.
As deputies approached the residence to talk to the occupants, the juvenile and man fled from the rear of the residence. Deputies found the girl and man on Governors Circle and transported the pair to the Criminal Investigations Division. Deputies identified the man as Terrance Carlisle, 34, of Williamsburg Drive.
During an interview, the 14-year-old girl told detectives she made plans with Carlisle the night before to meet him at the bus stop the next morning. She met Carlisle Wednesday morning, and she and Carlisle went to her residence where they engaged in intercourse.
Detectives arrested Terrance Carlisle and booked him with felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile. He remains in custody in lieu of a $20,000 bond.
