In a recent Match-up on chess.com, I played against a strong 2250+ player on chess.com in the time control 3 | 0. I had some difficulty winning this game, and in fact, it was resignable for me when I blundered a piece early on. However, I continued to play and eventually went on to win the game because my opponent lost on time.

The Global Butterfly Effect
Source: The Global Butterfly Effect | Creative by Nature

creativesystemsthinking.wordpress.com
by Christopher Chase
"We are Life, in human form. Descendants of the stars and galaxies, children of the oceans and forests, creative expressions of Nature. As much a part of this planet as the rivers, trees, mountains and butterflies."
For thousands of years people in Western cultures have been wrestling with the illusions we've spun from our dualistic mindsets and beliefs. It's like we've been dreaming a shared nightmare together, grounded in the mechanistic ways our society has been organized, rooted in how we live and think.
Across the centuries, the very foundation of our so-called "Civilization" has been based on ideas of separation and superiority- men above, women below, Kings above, peasants below, humans above, Nature below, etc. Walls of separation in our hearts and minds, a sense of sin and abandonment, believing that our entire species was "thrown out of Eden."
With dualistic "ego" logical thinking came an emphasis on time, our consciousnesses locked into mental projections of a feared or desired future, an imagined and idealized history.
When lost in these projections we become less aware of the magical nature of each moment, blind to the beauty, value and mystery of the HERE and NOW. This is how schools teach our children to think and feel, how our ancestors were dazed and hypnotized.
From this mindset grew Civilized man's mad circus of history, the hostile cultures of race and nationalism as identity, religion as truth, militarism as method, materialism and acquisition of wealth as the organizing goals of our institutions, the unquestioned values guiding our way of life.
It manifested with the rise of wealth obsessed empires seeking power and dominance. Dualistic thinking led to the Witch Hunts during the Renaissance, to Europeans coming to conquer the "New World" – thinking themselves superior to the Natives, stealing their land. Then going to Africa where they kidnaped and enslaved the people, dragging them across the oceans.
Over the centuries reductionistic thinking has given rise to all our most difficult problems- to racism, sexism, nationalism, slavery, human trafficking, organized crime, alcoholism, drug abuse, obesity, prostitution, genocide and all our wars.
For thousands of years now, individual artists, poets, prophets and sages have been trying to help us wake up from our delusions. From Jesus to Buddha to Lao Tsu, from Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet" to Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience," Whitman & Blake's poems, Van Gogh's paintings and forward thru time to the "Wizard of Oz," " Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" and James Cameron's "Avatar"…
There was a great creative burst of realization in the 1960s, but still the spirit crushing institutions, selfish lifestyles and unquestioned mechanistic assumptions of the past continue to exert a powerful hypnotic force.
With the rise of new technologies and industrialization our consumer lifestyles have overpowered the rivers, mountains and forests that surround us. Over the last hundred years we have been destroying Nature's ecosystems at an astounding rate.
Why has it been so difficult for humans to change?
In part, I think, it is because the "Civilized" Matrix will do whatever it can to avoid a shutdown. Our dominant institutions are designed to maintain control, to defend, expand and perpetuate their existence. Like the immune system of a body, attacking these systems directly only strengthens them, leads to hostility and violence.
Mostly however, I believe that we have not changed because too many of us are still hypnotized. Primarily identifying our sense of self with names, career, race, religion, gender, political perspective or nationality. Seeking pleasurable experiences, wealth, status and material possessions; mistakenly believing that these will bring us happiness and that the only way to solve complex problems is to "defeat the opposition."
What most of us have failed to see is that we are not these social and cultural roles we imagine ourselves to be.
As more and more of us wake up to that deeper sense of identity we will be more easily able to transcend old thought patterns and beliefs. Observing Nature's Systems closely, studying her ways, we can re-write and delete old programming.
To truly bring an end to the destructiveness of humanity- to really transform the world- a deeper wisdom has to first arise from within. We must "be the change" as Gandhi put it. We have to free ourselves first, transform our ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.
Then take the wisdom of our wholeness and apply it to everything we say and do, to all fields of human activity. Economics, entertainment, education, law, medicine, transportation, energy technologies- they all can (and must) be transformed.
We are not the solitary individuals we have believed ourselves to be. We are expressions of Universal life, Children of our Galaxy. We are the "leaves of grass" Walt Whitman spoke of – the Awakening voices of Eden, instruments of the great turning.
Nature's Agents of Transformation- The Global Butterfly Effect.

"You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here… Keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world." ~ Max Ehrmann (Desiderata, 1927)
"Be as simple as you can be; you will be astonished to see how uncomplicated and happy your life can become." ~Paramahansa Yogananda
"People normally cut reality into compartments, and so are unable to see the interdependence of all phenomena. To see one in all and all in one is to break through the great barrier which narrows one's perception of reality." ~Thich Nhat Hanh
"The Earth is alive and contains the knowledge you seek. It is your consciousness that determines what it reveals. How to access this knowledge? And where are the keys to open it and make it yours?

Wife-killer landowner Adrian Prout admits guilt two years after conviction
Adrian Prout, who was jailed for killing his wife Kate Prout but refused to admit her murder for two years has admitted his guilt and revealed the location of the body.
By Andy Bloxham
7:04AM GMT 18 Nov 2011
Adrian Prout, 49, murdered his wife Kate, 55, a former primary teacher, after she told him that she wanted an £800,000 divorce settlement but her body was never found.
Throughout his trial and after he was given a life sentence, he denied responsibility for her death.
However, yesterday, almost four years to the day after she disappeared, he admitted it from his cell to detectives.
His confession is understood to have first been given to a family member who alerted the police, to whom he repeated it.
The admission opens the possibility of closure for Mrs Prout's family, who pleaded with her killer to disclose the location of her corpse after his conviction so they could hold a funeral and "say goodbye".
Judge: I don't criticise teacher for being attracted to children
Bogus calls helped ambulance response times

Prout is understood to have told the police that his wife's body is buried in woodland close to his 276-acre country estate at Redmarley, Gloucestershire, from which he ran a successful pipe-laying business and a lucrative sideline in commercial pheasant shooting.
Mrs Prout vanished on November 5, 2007.
No trace of either her or her remains were ever found and Prout insisted he knew nothing of the killing.
The Prout's marriage, which took place in a picturesque church in September 2002, at first flourished despite the nine-year age gap.
The couple arrived at Redhill Farm, Redmarley, three years later and enjoyed its swimming pool and acres of prime countryside.
Mrs Prout helped with flower arranging at the local church, joined several local committees and set up a blueberry plantation on the farm.
She told a neighbour: "I found love in my 50s."
By 2006, however, the couple's problems were increasing and Kate ran away from home to stay with friends several times after heated arguments.
Prout had started an affair with the couple's house-sitter Diane Bellamy and wanted a divorce, the jury was told, and sent her a text saying he loved her on the day Mrs Prout disappeared.
He later fathered a baby daughter by another woman, Debbie Garlick, to whom he was engaged.
Shortly before vanishing she had demanded an £800,000 pounds divorce settlement, £200,000 pounds more than Prout had offered.
The value of the settlement would have forced him to sell the farm.
He did not call police for five days after her disappearance.

Prout had always insisted that Mrs Prout had run away and disappeared merely to "wind him up".
An extensive police operation – the largest in the county's history - was launched and, at one stage, officers searched through animal waste at the farm fearing he might have fed her to their pigs.
During his trial, the jury heard entries from Mrs Prout's diaries which reflected her bewilderment at the disintegration of their marriage.
"Adrian couldn't wait to "get rid of me" out of his life," she wrote in one entry.
Other entries said Prout believed she was "useless" and after a "meal ticket".
In February last year he was found guilty of her murder at Bristol Crown Court.
Her family had always believed he was guilty.
Prout's admission comes only days after the sale of his £1.6million farm, the former marital property, where his Miss Garlick, the mother of his child, lived.
Miss Garlick, 40, was unavailable for comment at her new home.
Last night, a spokesman for Gloucestershire Constabulary said: "Police who investigated the murder have received significant information about the case.
"Officers are reviewing this information and will be following up the matter with some urgency. It would not be appropriate to comment any further at this stage."
It is understood police will begin digging at the site for the body in the next few days.

Herein, Ag-incorporated ZnO/C samples were successfully synthesized via green chemistry processes. The XRD patterns reveal the presence of a secondary metallic Ag phase in the samples. The SEM images indicate the successful formation of spherically shaped carbon-coated Ag-incorporated ZnO samples. The existence of silver (Ag) along with zinc (Zn), oxygen (O) and carbon (C) in the samples was established using the EDAX analysis. The electrochemical measurements indicate that the 5 wt% Ag-incorporated ZnO/C (AgZ/C-5) electrodes exhibit excellent electrochemical characteristics. The AgZ/C-5 electrode yields the high specific capacitance of 1366 F g−1 at the specific current of 1 A g−1 and the fairly low charge transfer resistance of 0.8 Ω. These characteristics demonstrate the potential applications of the AgZ/C-5 electrode in high-performance supercapacitors.

MIT Researchers Animate Real Objects From Seconds Of Prerecorded Video Footage
by Kevin Carbotte August 10, 2016 at 4:48 PM - Source: Abe Davis
The lines between digital animation and real-world film have been getting increasingly blurrier for decades. As rendering and recording technology have improved, so have the visuals depicted on screen, but there's still something awkward about a digital character interacting with a real environment. Hollywood studios get around this problem by adding digital environmental assets for the digital characters to interact with (example shown in the video below). This process can be costly and time-consuming and therefore not an option for many applications.
A small team of researchers at MIT have developed a process that could change all of that, though.
Interactive Dynamic Video is the result a video analysis technique developed by Abe Davis, Just G. Chen, and Fredo Durand at the MIT Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The process involves analyzing the vibration characteristics of objects and then using that information to create an interactive simulation of the object.
In order to accurately simulate how an object will react to various forces, Davis and his colleagues isolate different "vibration modes," which are defined by the movement frequency and the shape of the vibrating object. The simulation model relies on this data to accurately calculate how an object would react by touching it or pulling at it.
You don't need a lot of footage to create a realistic simulation, either. The team was able to create a simulation of a wireframe figure using just five seconds of video footage. The wire figure wouldn't be a difficult object to animate, but this process can be used on much more complex structures, such as a shrub. The team recorded less than a minute of video of a shrub blowing in the wind and was able to simulate its physical behavior with that information.
Davis said that there are a number of potential applications for such a technology. He suggested that Interactive Dynamic Video could be used for structural health monitoring for bridges and other infrastructure, but he expects that it will be used mostly for low-cost special effects. The technique can be used to add realistic animations to live-action film.
Interactive Dynamic Video
Interactive Dynamic Video was part of Abe Davis's PhD dissertation at MIT. There are no current plans to create a commercial product based on this technique, but MIT will license the use of the patent. You can find more information on the project's website.

This is realy a groundbreaking development. I sincerely hope this doesn't die in the underground.
Best possible outcome would be to have a popular open source implementation of this, for indie developers and small studios.
This is particularly important for future AR, I believe. Having the digital and physical world interact is the basic principle of AR, after alll.
I see a lot of potential for improved special effects in movies.

Inequality is the equation which has less than or greater than symbols in it i.e. '<' and '>' respectively. Equality is when we can equate both sides of the equation and is represented by '='. The greater that sign in an inequality '>' signifies that the left hand side of the equation is greater than the right hand side. The lesser that sign in an inequality '<' signifies that the left hand side of the equation is lesser that the right hand side. Linear inequalities is the inequalities where the degree of the variables is one.
Example 1: Find the solution of the linear inequality 6 x - 3 > 15?
Solution: Given is the equation with one unknown variables x.
Here, 6 x - 3 > 15 is a linear inequality with greater than sign.
Adding 3 on both sided of the equation.
Now divide by 6 on both sides of the equation.
6 x/6 > 18 / 6; x > 3.
Hence the solution to the linear inequality is x > 3.
Example 2: Find the solution of the linear inequality 18 z - 6 < 30?
Solution: Here 18 z - 6 < 30 is a linear inequality with less than sign.
Add 6 on both sided of the equation.
Now divide by 8 on both sides of the equation.
8 z/8 < 36/18; z < 2.
Hence the solution to the linear inequality is z < 2.

Herring Runs
River Herring Runs on Cape Cod
By: Marguerite Wiser
River herring runs on Cape Cod only happen once a year and are not to be missed! Nothing heralds spring quite like rushing brooks filled with silvery flashes of river herring heading upstream to spawn.
Two species, alewife, and blueback, are known collectively as river herring and are the stars of river herring runs on Cape Cod. These fish spend most of their lives in saltwater, swimming in large schools, feeding on plankton and trying to evade predators like striped bass, cod, tuna, bluefish, seals, whales, and dolphins. River herring venturing into freshwater only to spawn in streams and ponds.
Herring is anadromous, meaning they live most of their lives in salt water but return to fresh water to reproduce. The river herring runs on Cape Cod and the Islands are made up of fish that spend most of their lives in Cape Cod Bay, Nantucket Sound, Pleasant Bay, Vineyard Sound, Buzzards Bay, and the broader Atlantic.
The river herring runs on Cape Cod are a tradition not to be missed and a perfect way to celebrate spring. Enjoy watching the fish fight their way upstream, avoiding gulls and obstacles or get involved as a citizen scientist, collecting data by counting fish at one of the many fish ladders and other sites of river herring runs on Cape Cod.
The spring spawning run marks the turn of the seasons and has long drawn onlookers. The Wampanoag tribe traditionally caught the herring for food and bait, as did European settlers.
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service historical accounts report rivers turning silver with the sheer density of fish spawning each spring. Over the years river herring have been used for fertilizer, lobster bait, and as a food source.
These days visitors gather to watch the herring use fish ladders to navigate around dams, with volunteers counting the fish to monitor the population size, which has declined significantly in the last several decades.
If you're looking to join the celebration of the river herring runs on Cape Cod, stop by the Plimoth Grist Mill Herring Run Celebration in Plymouth on April 23rd from ten to four. The event, put on by the Plimoth Patuxet Museums features fish scientists, art, and games for kids, all while the alewives swim past up Town Brook.
The river herring runs on Cape Cod begin in early April, depending on the water temperatures. Mature herring, usually 2-5 years old, depart from their schools in the open ocean, following their olfactory senses to the freshwater in which they were born. Alewives begin their trip upstream when the water temperatures reach 51℉, while Bluebacks wait until the water gets up to 57℉.
Throughout the upstream journey the fish face a gauntlet of predators waiting on the banks of the rivers. Gulls, herons, osprey, river otters and raccoons all wait for the spring herring runs as well, plucking the nutritious fish out of the waterways. The trip is not an easy one; the Association to Preserve Cape Cod notes that 90% of adult herring die while migrating. While herring don't leap out of the water in the showy way that spawning salmon do, they can swim fast upstream, navigating strong currents, and can make the trip multiple times in their lives.
The river herring's journey is made more difficult by man-made development including dams, culverts, polluted waters, and increasingly by warming water temperatures. Once the alewives and bluebacks navigate waterways to the pond or lake of their choice, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notes that adult females can produce 60,000-300,000 eggs. The eggs hatch in 3-6 days, and the young fish (called fry) spend the summer in freshwater. In the fall, when they are 1 ½ to 2 ½ inches long they head out to sea to join the large schools of herring in the Atlantic. Of all the eggs laid, less than 1% make it back to spawn.
Herring are a crucial part of the fresh and saltwater ecosystems, as a key food source for a variety of recreationally and commercially significant fish species. They are also good indicators for the health of the whole coastal ecosystem. Both factors make the decline of herring populations and river herring runs on Cape Cod so concerning. The declines, gradual over the last century, and steep in the past few decades, are attributable to dams, development, pollution, and habitat degradation, as well as overfishing and bycatch offshore. Since 2005, there has been a moratorium on fishing for herring, commercially or recreationally in Massachusetts, with the exception of the Wampanoag tribe's aboriginal fishing rights.
Conservation groups and municipalities have been working to stabilize and increase the population of river herring runs on Cape Cod through a number of initiatives. Improvements have been made by removing barriers to fish passage either by removing old dams, enlarging culverts, or adding fish ladders to help fish navigate around obstacles.
The Association to Preserve Cape Cod collaborates with volunteers and scientists to track the number of spawning herring each season. Volunteers help to collect data by counting the fish, either beside the fish ladders or streams, or virtually using underwater cameras. Counting herring is a fun way to get involved in the preservation of this important fish while enjoying the spring river herring runs on Cape Cod!
Some of the many great river herring runs on Cape Cod and the Islands:
Stony Brook in Brewster is one of the most popular river herring runs on Cape Cod, enjoyed by spectators and seagulls alike. Spectators can enjoy the sight of fish navigating sloops and a series of weir-pool fishways built into the stream, avoiding the Lower Mill Pond dam. The stone baffles help fish combat the natural elevation change on their way to 386 acres of headwater ponds upstream. Improvements, including enlarging a culvert in 2010, have aimed to support the population, which has fluctuated in recent years. The Division of Marine Fisheries reported 11,000 fish in 2009. The count rose to 275,000 in 2015 but dropped to 20,000 in 2017.
Herring River off of Depot Street in Harwich, the aptly named run has benefited from lots of restoration efforts aimed at supporting the river herring population. Set in the Bells Neck Conservation Area, the site features a fish ladder at the West trailhead and is connected to lots of area ponds. In 2015, 250,000 herring were counted in this migration. Along with the herring run, the 250-acre preserve offers three miles of walking trails and great views of a salt marsh. The West trailhead parking lot is closed until mid-June to protect the herring.
Monument River on the north side of the Cape Cod Canal in Bourne sports one of the largest river herring runs in Massachusetts. The DMF reported 672,000 fish in 2000, up from their count of 91,000 in 1980. Visitors can view this run, and the Monument River fishway from Route 6/28 from the Army Corps of Engineers Station.
Santuit River/Pond, Quashnet River/Johns Pond, and Mashpee River/Pond are the multiple river herring runs that can be found in Mashpee. The Santuit River run features a fish ladder to bypass a dam, leading to the wetlands of the Santuit Pond Preserve, the result of a 2013 joint restoration effort between the towns of Barnstable and Mashpee, as well as county, state, and federal agencies. The Quashnet River in Mashpee flows through undeveloped land and abandoned cranberry bogs from Waquoit Bay to Johns Pond. In addition to herring runs, the river supports American Eels and Brook Trout. The Mashpee River/Mashpee Pond run is located on Route 130 next to the Mashpee Wampanoag Indian Museum. It is one of the area's largest herring runs with 350,000 fish in 2015, and 107,000 fish in 2017.
Eastham Herring Run on Herring Brook Road is the route of choice for river herring returning to Bridge Pond, Herring Pond, and Great Pond. It can be found between Cole Rd. and Bridge Pond Drive. An improved culvert in 2013 made the route easier for fish: 2,000 passed through in 2016, and 5,000 in 2017.
Wellfleet's Herring River on Duck Harbor Road leads fish four miles through 1,100 acres of estuary to four ponds. An expanded tidegate increased the numbers from 12,000 in 2012 to 70,000 in 2015. Either walk from Duck Harbor Road or from Duck Harbor Beach to check out this river herring run.
Coonamessett River in Falmouth was once one of the largest herring runs in New England, with millions of fish using it as a migratory route. Due to dams and other impediments, just 75,000 fish were counted in 2015. The three-mile river has recently undergone a significant restoration effort to support river herring and other species. The project, a collaboration between NOAA and the town of Falmouth, removed dams, turned inactive cranberry bogs back into wetlands, and worked to stabilize the banks of the river while adding public access trails and boardwalks. The project, completed in 2020, reopened 2.2 miles of river and rebuilt 56 acres of wetland habitat.
Pilgrim Lake in Orleans features a fish ladder dating back to 1865. Located on Herringbrook Road, the ladder helps fish migrate through Pleasant Bay, Little Pleasant Bay, and into Lonnie's Pond. It is also an eel migration route.
Martha's Vineyard the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Natural Resource Department monitors the fish through an underwater herring cam. They've noted the fish returning later each season to Aquinnah Herring Creek, Squibnocket and Menemsha Ponds, and in diminished numbers. These declines are attributed to overfishing of herring offshore as well as too much nitrogen and sediment in the ponds.
Nantucket, the manufactured Madaket Ditch linking the Hither Creek to Long Pond, dug by Wampanoags and English settlers in the 1660's supports a run of alewives and eels. The Nantucket Historical Association notes that before the joint project there were no herring runs on the island.
Additional river herring runs on Cape Cod and the Islands include Red Lily Pond in Barnstable, Red Brook in Bourne, Stillwater Pond in Chatham, Bound Brook and Scargo Lake in Dennis, Mill Creek in Sandwich, Tom Matthews Pond, Baxter Mill, and Long Pond in Yarmouth, and Lover's Lake in Chatham.

FAQ :: Do writings other than the Bible hold any spiritual significance?
There are other books that can teach about history. They can even teach about the lives of religious people and about godly standards. But there is only one, true, infallible Word of God. That is the Bible. There is no other source that you can put your trust in to be the perfect Word of God. In the Bible, God has told us everything we could ever need to know about Himself, His plans, His purposes and His ways.
Christianity is not just another denomination; it is the only way to the Father, thereby the only way to Heaven. Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). Being a Christian means loving Jesus Christ and following Him with your whole heart. John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." That does not give room for trusting outside sources as being equal to the Word of God-the Bible!

Readers ask: What Books Are King David In The Bible?
27.09.2021 Oscar Gollone Interesting
Why King David is one of the Bible's most compelling characters
David, a central figure in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, began life as a humble shepherd, rose to found a dynasty, and became a key figure in three Abrahamic religions, according to National Geographic's ongoing series People in the Bible.
Giant battle
The Israelites faced a giant named Goliath with a huge bronze spear in I Samuel 17:5-7. David, armed only with a sling, picked a stone from a riverbed and slung it at Goliath's head, causing the giant to strike and kill him, causing the Philistines to flee.
Saul's downfall
The Philistines killed Saul and his sons at Mount Gilboa, and Ishbaal, Saul's only surviving son, was anointed as his successor, but the southern elders went to David's military base of Hebron and anointed him king.
Kingdom of David
David ruled over all of Israel, administering justice and equity to all of his people. He built the Tabernacle tent to house the Ark of the Covenant, and then expanded his territory until Israel had become dominant in the Levant, according to the Books of Samuel. David's reputation was tarnished by his pursuit of Bathsheba, who was already married to Uriah. The Prophet Nathan rebuked David for his pursuit of Bathsheba, who was already married to Uriah
What book tells the story of David?
God sent the Prophet Samuel to Bethlehem and guided him to David, a humble shepherd and talented musician, after Saul, Israel's first king, failed to achieve a decisive victory against an enemy tribe, the Philistines, as recorded in the Book of Samuel.
We recommend reading: What Is The Best Way To Sell Comic Books? (Solution found)
Which book of the Bible focuses on the reign of King David?
In the Hebrew Bible, David is described as the king of the United Monarchy of Israel and Judah; in the Books of Samuel, David is described as a young shepherd who gains fame first as a musician, then by killing the giant Goliath, the Philistine champion.
How old was David when he killed Goliath?
David was around 15 years old when Samuel anointed him king in the presence of his brothers; how much time passed between his anointing and the killing of Goliath is unknown; Jesse sent him to the battle to check on his brothers when he was between the ages of 15 and 19.
How many wives and concubines did David have?
While the Bible lists seven wives for David, it's possible that he had more, as well as multiple concubines who may have given him unaccounted-for children. The most reliable source for David's wives is 1 Chronicles 3, which lists David's descendants for 30 generations.
What did Jesus say about David?
The Bible refers to David as "a man after God's own heart" twice: once by Samuel, who anointed him as King Saul's successor, and again by Samuel, who says, "But now your kingdom shall not continue, for the Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart" (1 Sam. 13:14, NKJV).
Why did God choose David to be king?
God sent the prophet Samuel to anoint a son of Jesse to be King Saul's successor in 1 Samuel 16, and it's easy to miss this verse by assuming that God chose David because He saw some goodness in his heart.
We recommend reading: Quick Answer: What # Paper Should Adult Coloring Books?
How is King David related to Jesus?
Matthew begins by referring to Jesus as the son of David, implying that he was a royal descendant, as well as the son of Abraham, implying that he was an Israelite; both are stock phrases in which son means descendant, evoking God's promises to David and Abraham.
How tall was David from the Bible?
Goliath was a Philistine champion fighting to dominate the territory, and David was a youth, so he may have been shorter than 5′ tall, putting him at a huge disadvantage in any match of physical strength.
What is the moral of the story of David and Goliath?
You can apply the same principle and level of thinking to your life and the challenges you're facing by thinking bigger than the challenge, being bigger than the obstacle, and acting as if it's impossible for you not to fail.
Who was King David and why was he so important?
David, the second king of ancient Israel, founded the Judaean dynasty and unified all of Israel's tribes under a single monarch, and his son Solomon expanded David's empire. David is a significant figure in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
What is the difference between a wife and a concubine?
A man could have many wives and concubines, and any children born to a concubine were legally considered the children of the wife she was under, even if the concubine did not command the same level of respect as the wife.
What does a concubine mean in the Bible?
Although some men in the Hebrew Bible have both wives and concubines, Judges 19 makes no mention of wives or additional concubines.
We recommend reading: How Many Books Has Shakespeare Sold? (Solution)
Who is David's wife in the Bible?
David married Bathsheba, a widow, but their first child died as a result of God's punishment for David's adultery and murder of Uriah. David repented, and Bathsheba later gave birth to Solomon.

For decades now, the North Coast Railroad Authority (NCRA) has failed both to restore rail service the North Coast evidently doesn't need and to protect the Eel River and its fisheries from the impacts of the failed rail line through the fragile Eel River canyon. Senator Mike McGuire's Great Redwood Trail Act (SB 1029) will dissolve the NCRA and prioritize non-motorized trail development along the rail right of way. (Click here for more details). SB 1029 sailed through the Senate this spring and is widely supported in Humboldt County.
Now, we need your help to make that support felt in the Governor's office. We need Governor Brown to support the financing necessary to resolve the NCRA's liabilities and make the Great Redwood Trail Agency happen.
Please call the Governor's comment line and leave a (polite) message asking him to actively support SB 1029 – the Great Redwood Trail Act.
I'm ——————-, calling from (town), (county) to express my support for SB 1029, the Great Redwood Trail Act.
California's state government is already on the hook for the NCRA's liabilities one way or another. The sooner we resolve this situation, the better.
This bill would turn an environmental and fiscal liability into a public asset.
SB 1029 will bring much needed tourism revenue to the North Coast region.

They've recorded over 25 albums as artists–many with their band, Waterdeep (Squint Entertainment). They've written over 10 shows for theater and hundreds of songs, dozens of which have appeared in TV shows, on label releases (theirs and others), and various charts. Click here for more details on their experience and career highlights.
A Personal Statement from Don
On Empathy
After my band Waterdeep played a show one night, a fan came up and told me a story about his friend, who had recently died of cancer. "When he got sick, I sent him your album, What You Don't Know," he told me. "My buddy didn't like it at first, but he kept listening to it, and a month later, when he was near the end, I flew down to see him one last time. It was... you know... there were tubes and machines... he was thin and pale... I said, 'How are you?' He just smirked and answered, 'I'm long on diagnosis, and short on cure,'" quoting a song from that album.
When I told Lori the story, she said, "I love that. It's like we don't know what we need until we need it. The guy with cancer didn't want to deal with the heaviness of the record when he first got it, because he didn't need it then. He needed it when he was dying."
It's really empathy at its most mysterious. We don't know what we need, but someone knows it for us. A loved one gives us a record, a stranger sings us a song, and it's there when we need it.
On Wonder
In high school, once, I went to an art installation exhibit, where a room was dimly lit with a neon-pink canvas on one wall. My eyes couldn't focus on it, and it glowed. I moved around; it never changed. I looked at it from the side; I couldn't see the canvas. So, I touched it (I know, I know. Don't touch the art); my hand went right through it. Everyone in the room gasped, but then we all realized there was no canvas, just a hole in the wall with light pouring through. So, I stuck my head in, and saw the track lighting, but I still couldn't tell how big the space was. When I reached further in, I couldn't touch the back. The space may have ended two inches past the end of my fingers, but it could have been infinite.
I was filled with wonder. An artist let me feel infinity. Wonder has reached me often: in the sound of Aretha Franklin's voice; in that line by Robert Frost, "The woods are lovely, dark and deep"; in the giant tap dance number before intermission in Anything Goes. To feel the rush of mystery, to be overwhelmed by simplicity, to be smitten by an image, sound, smell, taste, or touch, these are what wonder is. It opens us up, and even when we see the track lighting, it can show us the infinite.

Protesters denounce US interference in Iraq's domestic affairs
Saturday, 01 September 2018 7:08 AM [ Last Update: Saturday, 01 September 2018 7:50 AM ]
People protest the US meddling in Iraq's domestic affairs in Baghdad on August 31, 2018.
Hundreds of Iraqis have taken to the streets of the capital, Baghdad, to vent their anger at the US meddling in the Arab country's domestic affairs.
Demonstrators gathered in central Baghdad on Friday carrying banners and chanting slogans in condemnation of Washington's interference in Iraq's internal issues amid political uncertainty over the makeup of a new government.
Protester Sheikh Kazem Faihan called on the Iraqi nation to be united against "the enemy and its stark intervention in our matter."
"It's a Zionist US enemy trying to intervene in our local matter so, oh, Iraqi people how can you be silent about this criminal act?"
Sadek Mahdawi, another participant in Friday's rally, stressed that the Iraqi people have to choose their own government.
"Our demand is [for them] not to interfere in Iraqi matters, this is first. Second, we are electing a counsel to be in charge of forming a new council with no foreign intervention from the US or anyone else," he said.
"They (the Americans) are not the world's only power. We are people with a deep rooted civilization and our history was formed before US history even started. We invented the real civilization and the first handwriting and we're supposed to be able to elect our own government."
The US, backed by the UK, invaded Iraq in 2003 under the pretext that the former regime of Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. No such weapons, however, were ever found in the country.
More than one million Iraqis were killed as a result of the US-led invasion and the subsequent occupation of the country, according to the California-based investigative organization Project Censored.
The invasion plunged Iraq into chaos and led to the rise of terrorist groups.
The US and a coalition of its allies further launched a military campaign against purported Daesh targets in Iraq in 2014, but their operations in many instances have led to civilian deaths.
Last December, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared the end of the anti-Daesh campaign in Iraq. The group's remnants, though, still keep staging sporadic attacks across the country.
Iraq's parliamentary elections were held on May 12 and predominately Shia blocs won most seats at the legislature. However, political parties are still embroiled in negotiations over forming the largest bloc at the parliament.
Last month, US-led coalition spokesman Colonel Sean Ryan announced that the alliance would remain in Iraq despite the defeat of Daesh. "We'll keep troops there as long as we think they're needed," he said.
The announcement raised objections among Iraqi politicians.
Hassan Salem, the head of parliament's Sairoon (Marching Towards Reform) bloc which is led by senior cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, urged Abadi not to bow to the US pressure to keep its forces in Iraq, saying lawmakers should determine Baghdad's position on the issue.
Abadi, he said, "must respect the people's will and refuse to succumb to US pressure to keep its forces [in Iraq]."
Hezbollah Brigades, a faction of the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) also known by its Arabic name Hashd al-Sha'abi, also accused Washington of hiding its "ulterior hostile motives" by keeping its forces in Iraq.
US to send Daesh captives to Iraqi prisons, Gitmo
On Friday, NBC News reported that the administration of US President Donald Trump is planning to send hundreds of Daesh captives to Iraqi prisons and the notorious US military prison, Guantanamo, in Cuba.
Citing US officials and European diplomats, the report said the terrorists "would be drawn from a group of about 600 currently held by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)" in Syria's militant-held areas.
"Many of the detainees are foreign fighters, and range from foot soldiers plucked off the battlefield to the highest value detainees who were tracked and captured with help from the military," the report added.
Many Daesh elements were formerly held in US prisons where they formed the foundation of their brutal group before going on a campaign of terror and destruction across the region after their release.
In July, the US began the construction of its largest consulate building in the city of Erbil. The new US consulate, which will be built on a 200,000 square meter piece of land, will cost $600 million.
Back in 2009, the US inaugurated the largest and most expensive embassy in the world in Baghdad, suggesting that Washington was set for a long haul in the Arab country.

Strong support for structural reform.
The delegates' meeting in the forum of the Niedersachsenhalle was eagerly awaited. 20 board members and 129 delegates as well as numerous members worked their way through the extraordinarily extensive agenda. A large number of motions had been submitted, most of which were voted on by secret ballot. "It is about the future of the Hannoveraner Verband," said Hans-Henning von der Decken. "Today we must set the course for further development!"
Before the voting marathon took place, Breeding Director and Managing Director Dr. Werner Schade gave a picture of the situation of the Hannoveraner Verband and put the horse in the foreground. Sporting successes at the World Equestrian Games in Tryon/USA and at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses were the highlights of the past year. "At the Herwart von der Decken-Show and at the stallion licensing we had such a broad top in both disciplines as we have never seen before", he said. The group of breeders was correspondingly large, receiving medals, plaques and honorary certificates for their successful Hannoveraner and Rhineland horses. "Our location in Verden is very important, this is where we want to bring breeders, buyers and riders together! Breeding and sport have changed, and we need a common value profile," concluded Dr. Werner Schade.
Behind the Hannoveraner Verband lies an extremely positive business year, which ended with a net profit of around 316,500 euros. A good auction year with a brilliant stallion market contributed to this. Two district societies have elected a new chairman in recent weeks. Christopher Kröckel will represent the Brunswick District Society on the Board, Hermann-Josef Thoenes the North Rhine-Westphalia District Society.

Collar City Mushrooms Is Getting Fungi With It
By Jaclyn Cangro Troy
PUBLISHED 2:38 PM ET Apr. 02, 2021 PUBLISHED 2:38 PM EDT Apr. 02, 2021
Avery Stempel has been fascinated by fungi for a while.
He says it started as a kid, when he would explore the wilderness with his father. Stempel says he would search for different colored mushrooms.
These days, he doesn't have to travel far to find an array of options. Earlier this year, Stempel officially opened Collar City Mushrooms in Lansingburgh.
"It has been a dream for a long time to be able to walk through a room of growing mushrooms," says Stempel.
Collar City Mushrooms grows more than a dozen different varieties of mushrooms, including shiitake, lions mane, and blue oysters.
The goal is for everything Collar City Mushrooms makes to help the community and environment. Stempel and his team use environmental friendly products. During a time when food insecurity is increasing, they've also created partnerships with other local organizations.
"We have a partnership right now with a couple local growers and Albany Victory Gardens, and all of the bags that we grow in are actually biodegradable, and so this whole thing will get composted and that will just get turned into a community garden in Albany," says Stempel.
He has also been working with Capital Roots.
Stempel and his team have built much of Collar City Mushrooms' storefront and lab themselves. Each room of the building serves a purpose and is constructed in a way to allow students from local schools to come and learn about mushroom development.
"We're going to be able to send schools home, back to their classrooms, with bags of mushrooms that they can grow in their classroom. So they can see the process unfold right before their eyes," says Stempel.
The plan is to expand in the future. Soon, Collar City Mushrooms anticipates offering salts, spices, and teas.
Stempel's ultimate goal is to open a commercial kitchen and stage.
These are mushrooms. Just some of the 13 varieties Collar City Mushrooms grows in its Lansingburgh building.

NHAI prepares plan to decongest city traffic
The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) today disclosed a detailed plan of the government to decongest city traffic that included connecting all the highways that pass through the national Capital and development of intersections that witness heavy traffic jams every day.
This was disclosed at a high-level meeting of the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways. Besides Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, the meeting was attended by Lt Governor Anil Baijal and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
The NHAI said the ministry has taken a comprehensive exercise for decongestion of arterial road network of the national highways – 1, 2, 8, 10 and 24 – converge at Delhi. The NHAI has taken up comprehensive development of the highways.
The presentation said that for complete decongestion interconnectivity among highways needs to be improved for which few more roads are required to be developed.
It said additional road network required to be upgraded include completion of urban extension roads for connectivity between national highways, development of Rangpuri bypass, up gradation of Ashram Chowk-Badarpur section, development of Kalindi Bypass connecting Faridabad-Ballabhgarh bypass and completion of FNG expressway.
Besides, completion of inner and outer Ring Roads that were planned in 1962, urban extension road proposed in master plan as third Ring Road along with western boundary are also necessary for the traffic decongestion. Alignment of urban extension road connects the highways passing through Dwarka and Najafgarh and extension of Nelson Mandela Road to Badarpur are also important.
However, the authorities concerned said there are many hindrances while doing all these development works in the capital. The Delhi Development Authority had issued notice to acquire land for this purpose between 2006 and 2007. But the land cannot be acquired so far even after disbursement of compensation to farmers. Some lands are protected under High Court's order.

Your smartwatch screen may soon be rather more impressive: This 4.7-inch organic LCD display is flexible enough to wrap right around a wrist.
Produced by FlexEnable from the UK, the screen squeezes a full-color organic LCD onto a sheet that measures just one hundredth of an inch thick, which makes it highly conformable. The company claims that it can easily run vivid colour and smooth video content, which is a sight better than most wearables.
It's not the first flexible display, of course. LG already has an 18-inch OLED panel that has enough flexibility to roll into a tube that's an inch across. But this concept—which, sadly, is all it is right now—is the first large, conformable OLCD designed for wearables that we've seen.

If you haven't heard the good news yet, in July we were delighted to learn that the Isle of Man has been shortlisted for 'International Finance Centre of the Year' at the 2019 Citywealth International Finance Centre Awards.
Several Isle of Man based businesses and outstanding individuals have also been shortlisted for awards, highlighting the strength and quality of the Island's thriving finance sector and the high calibre of its financial services providers.
The shortlisting for this prestigious award is recognition of the Isle of Man's recent reinvention from an offshore finance centre to a well regulated international business centre consisting of 21 sectors, all of which are underpinned by finance and professional services, supported by robust regulation and innovative frameworks such as the Alternative Banking Regime (ABR), which resulted in a new Class 1(3) banking licence being granted to Investec Bank (Channel Islands) Limited (IBCI) earlier this year.
The Department for Enterprise's continued commitment to strengthen and develop the Island's entrepreneurial ecosystem has seen the addition of the Barclays Eagle Lab on Victoria Street, Douglas, continued support and investment in Isle of Man businesses from the Bridge Angel Network and the successful completion of the Department's flagship start-up/business/networking event ISLEXPO's three-year 'START, GROW, LOCATE' narrative.
With a focus on innovation, imaginative adaptation and customer driven products, the new Finance Isle of Man Executive Agency has been created to cultivate real public/private partnerships with industry in order to grow businesses, create jobs and increase opportunities for the Island.
The Citywealth International Finance Centre Awards were established 8 years ago to highlight the excellence of advisors and managers in the private wealth sector across all the major international financial centres. The awards recognise excellence in achievement, expertise, service and innovation.
The judging process includes careful consideration by an international panel of highly respected judges and industry practitioners from all private wealth sectors, covering all of the jurisdictions, combined with an additional online vote which is open to the public and industry peers.
Voting will close on 1 December 2018 and the Citywealth International Finance Centre Awards ceremony will take place at the Rosewood London Hotel on 23 January 2019.

Book Review: Little Maryam By Hamid Baig
Title: Little Maryam
Author: Hamid Baig
Snapshot- A Nobel Prize winner, Saadiq in(famous) for his sour temper and indulgence with women is on his way to India when an American Journalist, Anne catches hold of him hoping to dig the story that could shoot up her career. On the tumultuous plane ride Anne finds out that behind the mysterious demeanor of Saadiq is a story of struggle and heartbreak. Why was Saadiq going to India after almost 20 years? Was his journey going to end the way he expected?
Detailed Review - The prodigy from a poor household falls in love with Maryam who is 6 years younger than him and the daughter of the rich employer of his father. The story initially revolves around their childhood, teenage and early adulthood, obsession and preoccupation with each other when a twist of events lands Saadiq in jail. While he is there his father dies, the love of his life is married- basically all his world is destroyed. When he gets out, the prodigy he was, he easily makes his way through colleges then Harvard then goes on to win the Nobel Prize. It's been 20 years and one day he gets a call from India about Marayam. This marks the beginning of another journey. What awaits him? Will he find his hearts desires or will life play another game with him?
To begin with the positives, the story is written in a simple language, not too difficult to understand and the author hasn't used exaggerated vocabulary anywhere. Also a lot of jargon is avoided, which appeals to the masses, as even though the protagonist is a Nobel Prize winner, the author doesn't bore you with intensive or needless science stuff.
The ups and downs of the story, its extremes, the good and the bad happenings with the central characters seem more Bollywood in nature than closer to real life. The suspense building in this genre is the most critical element of the book. However, a very patterned writing makes a reader anticipate the next part of the plot 50 pages in advance, which kind of takes away the essence of the process. The entire attempt to create a larger than life protagonist is never a great idea for a book.
There are very visible editorial errors, especially in the latter half of the book. It seems as if the last 100 pages were published without edition. The publishers could have done better justice to the writing by getting the editing correct.
RC Rating- 2/5. For a light, Bollywood movie kind of read.

Unifying cognitive and biological approaches to language
Language is a defining element of human experience. However, the scientific understanding of language is in its infancy. We have yet to understand the genetic and neurobiological foundations of language development, the mechanisms that allow humans to achieve robust, adaptive perception across human experience incredible variation in signal and environment, the biological, environmental, and experiential factors that support or disrupt language development, or the nature and limits of plasticity evident in linguistic recovery from acquired disorders, such as traumatic brain injury. This basic-science understanding has the potential to address many societal challenges, including technological, educational, and clinical challenges. Achieving this understanding will require new methods and theoretical frameworks, and tools and knowledge of familiar cognitive-level approaches to language d molecular neuroscience. Enormous challenges must be overcome before a synthesis of these fields can be achieved: scientists must be able to communicate across disciplinary boundaries before they can collaborate; new methods and theories are required for cognitive-level domains to grapple with systematic individual differences; new methods and theories are required for all disciplines to grapple with the complex genetic, neural, cognitive, and environmental interactions on which language development depends; and a unifying theoretical framework is required to link cognitive and biological approaches to language.
Our Neurobiology of Language (NBL) training program is inspired by the realization that the necessary disciplinary elements for this synthesis have recently emerged, and that we have the necessary personnel, expertise, and theoretical vision at UConn and Haskins Labs to achieve it. We have assembled a team of faculty from 7 Ph.D. programs (Linguistics; Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences; Physiology & Neurobiology; and 4 programs in Psychology: Behavioral Neuroscience, Clinical Psychology, Developmental Psychology and Perception-Action-Cognition) and Haskins Labs with the necessary skills and methods needed to launch a new cognitive-biological synthesis approach to language. The missing element is a formal training program, and a critical mass of trainees eager to participate in this pioneering endeavor.
Our NBL program provides Ph.D. students from cognitive and biological disciplines with a core of five "Foundations" courses that given them sufficient familiarity with methods, assumptions, theories, and terminology from each participating domain, preparing them to work in collaborative teams who (a) can communicate across conventional disciplinary boundaries and (b) collectively have the sufficient breadth and depth to develop unified biological-cognitive approaches to language development. Home-department curricula, NBL electives, and international interships at research centers with cutting-edge technology prepare NBL trainees to become leaders within their fields, as well as in the emerging unification of biological and cognitive approaches to understanding language development.

President Obama and the Democrats in Congress have tried every conceivable idea to sell people on their health care reform. Too bad for them, but the American people aren't buying it.
Then-Senator Obama relished the opportunity to label Iraq as President Bush's war. If he does not act decisively in Libya, I believe history will show that the Obama Administration owned the results of the Gaddafi regime from 2011 forward.
The situation in Libya remains tenuous and the DNI Director's comments today on Gaddafi's "staying power" are not helpful to our national security interests. His comments will make the situation more difficult for those opposing Gaddafi.
The new GAO report validates what most people already knew – certain aspects of the government are duplicative and wasteful.
I am very pleased that President Obama has chosen to nominate Tim Cain for the Federal District Court. Tim has been a family court judge in Oconee County for many years. He's a former law partner and one of the finest men I have ever known.
To say this budget is a disappointment would be a tremendous understatement.
Egyptian President Mubarak's decision to step aside was the right thing to do. I hope his resignation allows healing to begin and Egypt to move toward free, open, and transparent democratic elections.
Our bill takes the fight out of Washington and puts it back in the states. I would hope every Senator, regardless of party, would give the people of their home state a chance to be heard. I'm confident that if given the chance, a large number of states would opt-out of the provisions regarding the individual mandate, employer mandate, and expansion of Medicaid. As more states opt-out, it will have the effect of repealing and replacing Obamacare.
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) has been appointed to serve on the Senate Appropriations Committee in the 112th Congress. The committee is responsible for writing legislation that allocates federal funds to the numerous government agencies, departments, and organizations on an annual basis.
In addition to service on the Appropriations Committee, Graham will continue to serve on the Aging, Armed Services, Budget, and Judiciary Committees.

How abortion groups on both sides are mobilizing after RBG's death
Conservatives have historically done better firing up their base on abortion. But this time they'll be confronting the grief and rage of abortion-rights supporters.

By ALICE MIRANDA OLLSTEIN
The sudden prospect of a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court majority ready to overturn Roe v. Wade is adding new urgency to anti-abortion groups' efforts to mobilize religious voters in battleground states like North Carolina and Arizona.
Conservative groups including Susan B. Anthony List and Students for Life revamped their ad copy, door-knocking scripts and mobile billboards over the weekend following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg — aware of how another high court nomination could help decide control of the Senate and spark enthusiasm for a president whose support among evangelicals and Catholics has slipped.
"One message we've found that works is that you don't have to love the candidate you're voting for — you just have to hate abortion," said Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins. "That really resonates with people."
Conservatives have historically done better firing up their base on abortion and the courts. But this time they'll be confronting the grief and rage of abortion-rights supporters mobilizing to disrupt President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's bid to quickly fill Ginsburg's seat as the high court considers a swath of new business, including an emergency petition on access to abortion pills during the pandemic.
"In the abortion debate, people are often motivated more by fear than hope — and there's more fear on the abortion rights side right now because the threat is so clear," said Mary Zeigler, a law professor at Florida State University. "Progressives would be more impacted."
A Harvard/POLITICO poll conducted before Ginsburg's death found the fate of Roe vs. Wade was a stronger motivator for Republicans than Democrats. Nearly a quarter of self-identified Trump voters said abortion was "extremely important" issue in deciding their vote compared to 19 percent of Biden voters.
But Zeigler said Ginsburg's death adds a strong emotional dimension on top of the practical implications for abortion laws, evident in rallies and vigils outside the Supreme Court and across the country over the weekend.
How the Supreme Court could now limit abortion rights
"Ginsburg was not just a justice to progressives," she said. "She was a hero and an icon, so having Trump replace her would be particularly painful. It's akin to what happened with [Antonin] Scalia in 2016, which really energized the right because he was such a towering figure for them."
Planned Parenthood's electoral arm over the weekend put together a new ad slamming Trump for moving to replace Ginsburg "against her dying wish" with a justice who would strike down "coverage for pre-existing conditions and reproductive freedom" and urging supporters to "take action -- vote." Planned Parenthood Votes is spending six figures to air the ad in Pennsylvania, Arizona and Florida and Michigan, and said it will expand to other presidential battleground states in the days ahead.
Planned Parenthood Votes spokeperson Tess Whittlesey said the group recruited twice as many new volunteers for its get-out-the-vote efforts in the days after Ginsburg's death as the previous week, and said many of the thousands of volunteers they have already increased the number of hours they're pledging to work.
"People want to channel their angst and fears into action," she said.
But abortion foes are confident events will break in their favor, a prospect that became likelier Tuesday when potential swing vote Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said he'd support a floor vote on a Trump nominee despite the looming election. Groups have already spent tens of millions of dollars on mobilization efforts and say they're ready to do more.
"It will have a big impact for both sets of voters we're targeting," said Susan B. Anthony List's Mallory Quigley, whose organization has knocked on nearly 2 million doors in swing states this year. "For our conservative base voters who don't vote in every election, and may have gone sour on Trump for whatever reason, this is a reminder of the long game, and an example of the president delivering on his promises. For independent voters or pro-life Democrats, it gives us new opportunities to talk about Roe vs. Wade and Democratic extremism on abortion."
The nomination fight is also roiling state and local campaigns. Opponents of a Colorado ballot measure to ban abortions after 22 weeks of pregnancy, with no exemptions for victims of rape or incest, blasted out emails to supporters warning that Ginsburg's passing made it much more likely that the high court would allow such a prohibition to stand.
"Losing one of the strongest remaining voices for abortion rights on the Supreme Court has to be a wake up call for Colorado voters," said Stefanie Clarke with the No On 115 campaign. "We no longer have that last line of defense."
On the national level, both sides say they'll be fighting on two fronts through Election Day: ramping up their efforts to reach undecided and infrequent swing state voters while lobbying undecided senators on whether or not to confirm a new justice before the election.
As Planned Parenthood Vote revs up get-out-the-vote efforts, it's also urging members to pressure senators up for re-election not to confirm Ginsburg's replacement until the winner of the presidential contest is known.
Susan B. Anthony List — whose president, Marjorie Jones Dannenfelser, urged Trump in a call Monday morning to appoint a justice who opposes abortion — is launching a seven-figure campaign solely dedicated to pushing senators to swiftly confirm Ginsburg's successor, on top of the tens of millions the group is spending on voter mobilization. Students for Life will soon kick off a tour across Maine, Alaska, West Virginia, Iowa, Colorado and Utah to pressure senators to swiftly confirm Trump's pick. The organization is also flying a group of student activists to Washington this week to live near the Capitol and be a vocal presence for the duration of the confirmation battle.
The coronavirus pandemic has added new dimensions to the scramble and deepened the divide between abortion rights and anti-abortion groups.
Both sides suspended in-person canvassing and switched to texting and calling voters during lockdowns early in the pandemic. But when states began to open up this summer, anti-abortion groups resumed knocking on doors while abortion rights groups limited themselves to virtual outreach.

This dynamic makes some Democrats and progressive advocates anxious that they're yielding a critical segment of voters. Yet Planned Parenthood Votes, NARAL and other progressive groups insist the text, phone and Zoom operation they've built is not only the safest option but also represents the future of organizing, by allowing working parents, people with disabilities and others to volunteer from their homes and more effectively reaching younger voters who prefer texting and social media.
But Susan B. Anthony List, Students for Life and other conservative groups maintain the face-to-face conversations they're having in Arizona, North Carolina and other key states — always masked and socially distanced — make all the difference in winning over undecided or disengaged voters, especially on such a deeply personal issue.
"Phones are way less effective," said Matt Overby, the field director for Susan B. Anthony List's canvassing operation in Raleigh. "A lot of people hang up, and those that don't move through the questions as quickly as possible. But in person, people are more friendly and they really open up. It's human nature to not want to slam the door in someone's face even if you would hang up if it were over the phone."
Patricia Miles, the national field director for Susan B. Anthony List, said there have been a handful of people out of more than 1,000 canvassers who have contracted coronavirus, mostly in Texas. Many more, she said, have had a family or household member test positive. When that's happened, they've been ordered to stay home for two weeks after their last symptoms and call supporters in the meantime.
Still, the group feels resuming the block walks was the right move, and that Ginsburg's death has given the issue an immediacy that plays in their favor.
"We had already been talking about the importance of the court, but it's not a hypothetical anymore," Quigley said. "This is why many, many pro-lifers elected Donald Trump in the first place."
But the heightened stakes for Roe vs. Wade also energizes abortion rights groups, who saw a surge in donations and attendance at volunteer meetings over the weekend.
Jenny Lawson, the executive director of Planned Parenthood Votes who is overseeing more than 5,000 volunteers, said their message is getting across no matter how contact is made.
"We don't have to go door to door to have effective conversations, and we don't want to put our volunteers and voters at risk," she said.
