The Minneapolis Star Tribune recently published an article covering World Hijab Day events at Normandale Community College in Bloomington, Minnesota.
The article featured photos of Augsburg College students who hosted the Hijab Fashion Show at Augsburg. Students at Normandale and Augsburg hosted events in support of Muslim students and were joined by non-Muslim students in a show of solidarity.
Photos of Augsburg College students featured in the paper included Aisha Barre, Anisa Ahmed, Nahili Abdulahi and Juweria Hassan, who participated in the fashion show. Similar events have been taking place across the country in reaction to divisive rhetoric and anti-Muslim sentiment, the article notes.

Non-timber forest products [NTFPs] originate from plants and fungi that are harvested from natural, manipulated or disturbed forests. NTFPs may include fungi, moss, lichen, herbs, vines, shrubs, or trees. People harvest the products for many reasons, including personal, recreational and spiritual uses, as well as commercial gain. The assessment of volumes and values is based on reports of permitted harvests of NTFPs by the US Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. These "sales" are assumed to be for commercial use but stating definitively that they are is speculative at best. The annual harvest of non-timber forest products is estimated for a number of product categories over five regions of the United States. The total value of the receipts from the issuance of permits to harvest non-timber forest products from federal lands is estimated. The wholesale value of these products is extrapolated, as well. The data presented illustrates that non-timber forest products represent significant contribution to the country's economy. Challenges with reporting the full volumes and value of non-timber forest products are identified and a role for FIA to improve the reporting of this information is discussed.

Los Angeles Times: Scientists use math — and computer war games — to show how society evolved
Other April 21, 2014 0
Mathematical formulas that incorporate ancient wars helped researchers to figure out how complex societies came about. Pictured is "Mongol Archer on Horseback," an early 15th century illustration from the Diez Albums. (LACMA)
By Monte Morin
September 24, 2013, 6:00 a.m.
How did human societies ever manage to evolve from small, tightknit groups into vast, organized states?
Researchers, using computers and math, show it was the result of some very antisocial behavior. New findings, published in the journal PNAS, used mathematical formulas and computers to simulate warfare in ancient Europe, Asia and Africa.
Researchers concluded that an increase in the intensity of armed combat — and the spread of military technology — spurred the rise of large, complex societies.
"The story of our past is not just a case of 'one dammed thing after another,' " wrote lead author Peter Turchin, a University of Connecticut professor. "There are general mechanisms at play in shaping the broad patterns of history."
Turchin, who teaches in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology, specializes in a field he calls cliodynamics — the study of cyclical patterns in human history, such as the rise and fall of empires. The field is named for Clio, the Greek muse of history…..

65 items of SCI Switzerland pocket calendars, 1953- 2017
by Heinz Gabathuler (Sep 23, 2016)
The first Wednesday in September every year is the moment when volunteers gather at the SCI Switzerland office in Bern for packing the freshly printed small booklets called 'Agenda' (pocket calendars, or diaries, or planners, indeed) which are then mailed to all members of the Swiss branch as well as to some subscribers who live abroad. And later in spring, Swiss delegates carry dozens of these booklets to international meetings in order to sell them to other branches.
Ever since I personally use the 'agenda' (since 1997), each year, the colour has changed, and every five years or so the design has slightly changed as well. What never changed in these twenty years is its size, and its excellent physical quality. And somewhere on the second last page one is informed that it is edited since 1953. And of course, one item is always reserved for SCI's International Archives which presumably holds the only full collection of all sixty-four 'agendas', soon to be amended by the sixty-fifth for 2017.
Going further back than the last twenty years of my own history as an SCI activist, however, there are some changes, in design as well as in content. It is rather self-evident that the very first one for 1953 does not inform that it is the first one. Only the cover (shovel, broken sword, PAX in the logo!) and the first four pages were produced by SCI whereas the rest has been taken from a standard format of a pocket calendar in our two main national languages, German and French, and reflecting the spirit of the time (asking for the owner's hat number rather than his / her email address).The SCI edited pages contain an editorial by International President Hélène Monastier (in French), an additional quote from Pierre Ceresole (in German), the names of the Swiss and International Committee members, and the addresses of all branches (12 in total).
The fifteenth calendar (for the year of my birth, 1967) enriches its readers with a lengthy Ceresole text in four languages (French, English, Italian, German), addresses of not only 18 branches and goups but also of not less than 19 local groups of SCI France and 17 local groups of SCI Germany. No more opportunity nor necessity to document the owner's hat number, but still a comprehensive list of Swiss postal tariffs, and of all Jewish holidays of the following year (which had not been included in the 1953 issue). The thirty-third issue (for the year of my first workcamp, 1985) still uses a standard format for the calendar part but in three instead of two national languages (but not in English), asking the owner for his / her theft insurance number and at the same time still informing on all Jewish holidays – this time of the current year. The intro pages edited by SCI highlight the 65 years anniversary of the movement (text by Ralph Hegnauer), the number of branches and groups has grown to 22, even though some that had existed earlier had disappeared in the meantime, and in addition, some more addresses of NGOs in Switzerland are listed, demonstrating that SCI has become part of a wider alternative movement rooted in civil society.
And in 2017? The cover shows a picture, whereas the PAX in the logo has disappeared. The intro is written by an ordinary Swiss long term volunteer who served in El Salvador, and it is still in the same four languages. The calendar section is produced by SCI as well, and extended to four languages as well. There is advertisement, some for NGOs, some for commercial companies – our forefathers would certainly call this a deadly sin. The number of branches and groups has doubled since 1985 and their postal addresses had been replaced by email addresses. What has always been the same is the small and at the same time very convenient size of the booklets, fitting into the modest and pragmatic approach of our movement. I am confident that despite the emergence of smartphones which by the way are larger and heavier in weight than their competitors on paper, the 'agenda' will be edited for many more years to come ...
Heinz Gabathuler, International Archives Coordinator
The first ever pocket calendar (for 1953) is stored under 11102.31 in the SCI International Archives. All the others have their places and numbers as well, but the latest one (for 2017) is still waiting for to be filed ..

Page 103 of The Hook Up (Game On 1)
"Shit," George drawls on a smile. "We've got her monologuing." He ducks a sock I chuck at his head. His expression turns serious. "If you're that sure about it, then you have my blessing, young Anna."
I kiss the top of his head. "Thanks, Georgie." Then I give his head a light whack. "Smart ass."
He laughs. But Iris doesn't. Her dark eyes are still troubled. Which troubles me. "'Ris?"
Slowly she shakes her head. "I still say you're crazy. But I'm with George. If you're that sure, I'll support you."
"I've never been more sure of anything." I thought I had lost myself in Drew. But the truth was that I'd found myself in him. It never occurs to me that Drew might be the one to lose faith.
I DON'T SEE the trouble at first. All I see is Drew. The only thing that occupies my time is the way we instantly click together when I move in. We get along so well, it's like having an endless sleepover with my favorite person in the world. So of course I miss the signs.
It isn't until another week passes and his friends start showing up that I notice something's wrong. For one thing, Drew doesn't want to see them. These are his teammates. These guys practically live in each other's pockets. And now? Now Drew is hunched on the far recliner, staring off at nothing, while his boys hang out on his couch, watching an NFL game. They're a boisterous lot, shouting and laughing and trading good-natured insults. I like them.
They also eat. A lot. I'm bustling back to the kitchen for more chips when Drew snags my arm. "You don't have to feed them, babe."
I run a hand over his hair. "I'm half-Irish, half-Italian, and all Southern, Drew. It's like physically impossible for me not to offer food and drink to company." Honestly, I think I'd die of shame if I didn't.
His brows snap together as he glances over at them. "Then I'll tell them to leave. Problem solved."
Laughing, I kiss his forehead, and his arm instantly wraps about my waist. I lean into him, because he seems to need it. "But I like that they're here. They're your friends. Which means they're mine too."
He grumbles something under his breath, but I ignore it, hoping that his mood will elevate now that he knows I'm not put out by company.
It doesn't. It gets worse. He sinks into a silence that somehow shouts loud and clear that he's displeased.
"Yo, Drew," his friend Rolondo calls over to him. "Man, you need to settle down over there. I swear, you talk any more and you gonna bust a gut." He grins as he says this and chucks a cheese puff at Drew's head.
Drew swats it away. "Pretty sure you do enough talking for all of us, 'Londo."
There's no humor in his tone. I haven't had much interaction with the star wide receiver, but I know Drew and Rolondo are close. Rolondo's glaze flicks to mine, and I see the worry there, and it feeds my own.
It gets worse when halftime comes on, and one of the guys changes over to ESPN. As luck would have it, they're talking about Drew and his chances of still being a top draft pick. Apparently, most experts had slated him to be the number one pick. Now, with his injury, it's all up in the air. Everyone stiffens, Drew most of all, but no one seems capable of changing the channel.
The light of the screen flickers off of Drew's stony expression as he watches some oversized guy in a slick suit speculate about his leg. And my heart aches for him. Until they mention their visit to campus. Instantly, my gut plummets. Shit. I've been the one who's gone out for food—or sustenance as Drew's taken to call it—and I hadn't exactly been left alone.
I edge closer to the remote. "Maybe we should watch—"
"Here's what Anna Jones, Drew Baylor's girlfriend had to say," announces the reporter.
My face shows up on the screen, microphones being shoved under my nose as I try to escape from the parking lot at the Piggly Wiggly. I feel my cheeks heat. God, does my face really look that round?
Instantly, everyone perks up, shooting glances as me, then back at the TV. I can't even meet Drew's eyes. I want to cry. I stare at the TV instead. The footage splices to my face, the very moment, I'd broken, tired of hearing the doubt in the reporter's voices, of seeing them turn against their hero. I'd wanted to punch each and every one of them.
"You named him Battle for a reason," my voice snaps through the speakers. I look angry. I remember that anger. It had fueled me, made my words come out hard. "Because he never quits. You're going to have to trust that he won't give up on this either." My TV self pushes past them then and escapes in Drew's car.
My face is positively on fire now. Every eye is on me, but I only care about one set, and he isn't looking my way. And then I notice that the rest of the guys are grinning.
"You tell 'em, Scarlett," says Marshal, which for some reason earns him a bap on the head by Dex.
"Ain't nobody messing with our boy," Rolondo insists. "Not with our girl kicking ass."
Gray catches my eyes, and a small, bemused smile plays about his mouth. I blush harder.
And then they're all laughing and talking as if nothing happened.
I stare at Drew until he finally lifts his head. I can't tell what he's thinking, and that scares me. I move close to him, afraid to touch him. I shouldn't have talked. Never talk to the press. Even I know that.

Samuel Davidson (September 18061 April 1898) was an Irish biblical scholar.

Life
He was born at Kellswater, County Antrim, the son of Abraham Davidson, into a Scots-Irish presbyterian. He was educated at the village school, under James Darragh, and then in Ballymena till 1824; and then became a student at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution, destined for the presbyterian ministry. His college course included periods in Londonderry and Liverpool, and was completed in 1832.

In November 1833 Davidson was licensed to preach by the Ballymena presbytery. In 1835 the Synod of Ulster made him the first professor of biblical criticism at Belfast College, and he held the post till 1841.

Congregationalist
Becoming a Congregationalist, Davidson accepted in 1842 the chair of biblical criticism, literature and oriental languages at the Lancashire Independent College, in Manchester.

In the summer of 1844 Davidson paid the first of a series of visits to Germany, and made the acquaintance of August Neander, Hermann Hupfeld, August Tholuck and others. He made lifelong friendships. A result of this trip was the translation of two volumes of Johann Karl Ludwig Gieseler's Compendium of Ecclesiastical History (Edinburgh, 1846-7). In 1847 the congregational lecture in London was delivered by Davidson and published in 1848 as the Ecclesiastical Polity of the New Testament. It was reprinted in 1854, contrary to the author's wish. His views had undergone changes, but he was not able to rewrite it.

Davidson was obliged to resign in 1857, clashing with the college authorities over the publication of an introduction to the Old Testament, The Text of the Old Testament, and the Interpretation of the Bible, written for a new edition of Horne's Introduction to the Sacred Scripture. The work began with an approach by Messrs. Longman, in 1854, for help with a reissue of Thomas Hartwell Horne's well-known Introduction to the Sacred Scriptures. Davidson undertook to rewrite the introduction to the Old Testament, and suggested Samuel Prideaux Tregelles should deal with the New Testament. Davidson's work appeared in October 1856 as part of vol. ii. of the tenth edition of Horne's Introduction, as "The Text of the Old Testament Considered; with a Treatise on Sacred Interpretation, and a brief Introduction to the Old Testament Books and the Apocrypha." The reception was hostile. David never lost the feeling that he had from then been treated unjustly.

At the November meeting of the Lancashire College committee it was stated that alarm had been taken in many quarters at the views expressed by Davidson in the new Introduction. A sub-committee was therefore appointed to report. The committee, in February 1857, requested Davidson to prepare "an explanation" of parts of his book deemed objectionable, and to "make concession where concession may be justly due". In May his pamphlet Facts, Statements, and Explanations, was in print. The committee declared those explanations "far from satisfactory", and after correspondence Davidson resigned his post.

Controversy ensued: Davidson was accused of doctrinal unsoundness, and also charged with plagiarism from German writers. A anonymous pamphlet of October 1857, Dr. Davidson: his Heresies, Contradictions, and Plagiarisms. By Two Graduates., along those lines, was by Enoch Mellor, of the Square Chapel, Halifax, who also engaged in the contemporary Rivulet controversy and James Guinness Rogers, of Albion Chapel, Ashton-Under-Lyne. Mellor and Rogers, who were close friends, were students from the first intake of the College. Rogers was on the College's committee, and is thought to have followed the lead of the conservative Thomas Raffles on Davidson's reprimand and removal. Alexander Gordon writing in the Dictionary of National Biography stated that "Nothing contributed more to the expulsion of Davidson from his chair in the Lancashire Independent College than [the pamphlet]."

On the other side appeared Dr. Davidson's Removal from the Professorship of Biblical Literature in the Lancashire Independent College, Manchester, on account of alleged Error in Doctrine, London, 1860, by Thomas Nicholas. At the end of this pamphlet Connop Thirlwall, Henry Alford and William Cureton were quoted in Davidson's favour. An account of the whole proceedings was in Davidson's Autobiography, written by James Allanson Picton.

Later life
In 1862 Davidson moved to London to become scripture examiner in the University of London, and he spent the rest of his life in literary work.

Davidson is sometimes mistakenly listed as a member of the Old Testament Revision Committee for the Revised Version of 1881. The confusion is based on his sharing a surname with Andrew Bruce Davidson, D. D., Professor of Hebrew, Free Church College, Edinburgh, of that committee.

Works
Among his principal works are:

 Sacred Hermeneutics Developed and Applied (1843), rewritten and republished as A Treatise on Biblical Criticism (1852)
 Lectures on Ecclesiastical Polity (1848)
 An Introduction to the New Testament (1848), Samuel Bagster [publishing], Google eBook full read
 The Hebrew Text of the Old Testament Revised (1855)
 Introduction to the Old Testament (1862)
 On a Fresh Revision of the Old Testament (1873)
 The Canon of the Bible (1877)
 The Doctrine of Last Things in the New Testament (1883)

Also translations of the New Testament from Tischendorf's text, Gieseler's Ecclesiastical History (1846), and Fürst's Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon.

A new electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) is reportedly compatible with lower cost, tin-terminated components to enable more cost-effective assembly processes. ABLESTIK ICP-3535M1 is a one-component, pre-mixed ECA that can provide low and stable contact resistance when used with 100% tin-terminated components.
Benefits of ECAs include lower temperature processability, more streamlined manufacturing techniques, lower stress assemblies and regulatory-compliant lead-free formulations. Historically, one of the few drawbacks associated with ECAs has been their inability to cope with non-noble metals on component terminations, making them useful primarily with palladium silver-, silver-, or gold-finished components. ABLESTIK ICP-3535M1 reportedly delivers all of the aforementioned benefits with the added advantage of tin compatibility, thereby enabling high-performance and cost-efficient processes.
The adhesive is suitable for a variety of automotive applications, and has relevance for any environment where high reliability and cost reduction targets are important as well. These may include the aerospace sector, wireless datacom infrastructure (WDI) products, security devices, lighting technology and others.

Cummings Favored Executive Privilege Under Obama But Not For Trump
House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) was once a big defender of executive privilege, that is until President Donald Trump was elected.
Cummings vote Wednesday to hold Justice Department Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt of Congress is a major turn around the lawmaker, who previously supported the use of executive privilege during the Obama Administration.
Despite months of cooperation with Cummings committee, he targeted Barr and Ross for failing to comply with subpoenas seeking information on the administration's decision to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census.
The issue is now before the Supreme Court. On Thursday special interest groups, supportive of immigrant rights, asked the court to postpone ruling on their legal challenge to the addition of the citizenship question to the 2020 census, according to Fox News. They argued that they need to resolve allegations regarding the query, which they say was intended "to bolster Republican political advantages and can be heard by a lower court."
Here's what Cummings Said Wednesday
"For months, the Trump Administration has claimed that the decision to add the citizenship question was made at the Department level rather than at the White House," said Cummings during the hearing. "But now the president is asserting executive privilege over all of these documents. This begs the question—what is being hidden?"
Well, for Cummings it appears that "what is being hidden" only matters selectively.
He didn't seem to mind when the Obama Administration used its executive authority to not turn over documents in the Fast and Furious operation that led to the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent. To me those documents and the oversight that was impeded by former Attorney General Eric Holder, at the time, was a far more significant an issue. After all, a Border Patrol agent was killed.
The Wednesday contempt vote appears, however, to be a way for Democrats to attempt to interfere with the upcoming Supreme Court decision on the census question. The Supreme Court could make its decision any moment and pressure from special interest groups is mounting on Democrats in Washington D.C. to do something about it.
Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) scolded Democratic members of the House Oversight and Reform Committee Wednesday, "you know we keep talking about how this is not about the Supreme Court case, it's about legitimate oversight- we've got to do this- and I guess the real question I have is simply since we're here in a markup and since a member of this very committee, (Rep.) Elenor Holmes Norton, has put forth a bill that would strike the citizenship question from the census, why are we not having a mark-up on that bill?"
If @OversightDems were really concerned about the citizenship question being added to the 2020 Census, we'd mark-up a bill about the issue.
But instead, they chose to hold another political show hearing about contempt.

Fast And Furious (Remember this Congressional Investigation?)
When it came to the Republican investigation into what actually happened in the Obama Administration's botched Fast and Furious operation, Cummings was adamant that executive privilege was necessary to protect documents and administration officials.
Operation Fast and Furious was the controversial operation that allowed U.S. guns to fall into the hands of the Mexican drug cartels so they could apparently be tracked. Yes, that investigation. Hundreds of guns were dumped in Mexico from the U.S. as a way of tracking cartels. The operation failed miserably and resulted in the death of 40 year old Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, who was killed by one of the U.S. guns.
Here's what Cummings had to say about that investigation in June, 2012. In particular, Cummings was reacting to Republican requests for documentation into the controversial program. The Obama Administration invoked executive privilege so it would not have to turn over the detailed and classified documents pertaining to the operation.
"In this case, it seems clear that the Administration was forced into this position by the Committee's unreasonable insistence on pressing forward with contempt despite the Attorney General's good faith offer," said Cummings, as reported by CBS News.
Then the administration was forced to invoke executive privilege and defended then President Obama's use of it, Cummings said.
DOJ Under Barr Turns Over 17,000 Plus Documents
Cummings praised former Holder in 2012 when he battled congress and turned over a minimal 7,000 documents to the Republican committee during its Fast and Furious investigation. It was far less and the documents far less significant than the ones requested at the time by Congress.
Cummings, however, isn't playing by the same rules. Despite the thousands of documents produced by DOJ, it's not enough for the Democratic lawmakers holding Barr and Ross in contempt.
Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec responded to Cummings accusations saying, "the Committee's attempt to define the Department of Justice's good-faith cooperation as 'contempt' defies logic."
She said Wednesday that the actions of "Cummings and his Committee undermines Congress's credibility with the American people." Kupec noted that the DOJ has worked to provide the committee with the information requested and has produced "over 17,000 pages of documents and making senior Department officials available for questioning. Despite the Committee's political games, the Department will remain focused on its critical work safeguarding the American people and upholding the rule of law."
Holder Held In Contempt In 2012
In 2012, Cummings, who was then the top Democrat of the committee, angrily confronted Rep. Darrell Issa during the investigation into Fast and Furious and defended Holder from turning over more documents.
Then Cummings accused Issa of targeting Holder for political purposes, praising Holder's submission of documents.
When it comes to Barr and Ross the story is all-together different. He has chided the Trump officials for not turning over sufficient documentation, even though they have turned over three times the amount that Holder shared.
In fact, in 2012, he accused Republicans of making it impossible for Holder to do the right thing.
"It seems to me you have no interest in resolving this issue and that the committee planned to go forward with the contempt all along." Cummings said to Issa, as reported in the Daily Beast in 2012. "It pains me to say this, but this is what I believe."
Seems to me all anyone needs to do is look at Cummings own words and history to understand that the contempt vote against Barr and Ross is nothing but political show boating.

Milton "Gummo" Marx, (Upper East Side, Manhattan,  23. listopada 1892. — Palm Springs, Kalifornija,21. travnja 1977.) bio je američki glumac i komičar, jedan od Braće Marx.

Surađivao je s braćom u vodviljima, ali ih je napustio jer nije volio glumački poziv. To je bilo prije nego što su braća Marx snimila neki od svojih poznatih filmova.

Poslije napuštanja scene postaje dizajner odjeće. Kasnije je s bratom Zeppom vodio kazališnu agenciju. Kada je agencija prodana, zastupao je brata Groucha i TV-seriju The Life of Riley.

Black-and-white assault on the senses lands ahead of UK dates with Wolf Alice.
Stare into Crows frontman James Cox's eyes midway through one of their shows and chances are, he's going to react. He'll either grab your t-shirt, eyeball you into a stupor or use your body for support as he charges into the crowd. Make no mistake, he's not the average, static type.
Crows' new video for forthcoming single 'Pray' is a similar experience, really - a breakneck speed assault on the senses, it mimics the rush of being the target of Cox's intentions. Only this time, it contains a few pairs of rotten teeth. Watch out for those. Last time we saw Crows, Cox was bleeding at the mouth after just a couple of songs. Best avoid those "jagged" fangs, then.
'Pray' b/w 'Crawling' comes out 30th March on Brace Yourself Records. Pre-order here.


IGN has reported that Funimation Films will be releasing the Dragon Ball Super: Broly film in North America and Canada.

Oasis on the Catholic-Muslim Forum
The first seminar of the Catholic-Muslim Forum belongs to a long line of meetings that have been promoted above all since the Declaration of the Second Vatican Council Nostra Aetate, a point of reference for inter-religious dialogue. The visit of John Paul II to the mosque of Damascus and the visit of prayer of Benedict XVI to the Blue Mosque of Istanbul remain emblematic.
But the meeting of these days has two new features - one relating to method and the other to contents. At the level of method, the Forum appears on the Muslim side no longer as an initiative of individual personalities or States but as the expression of a general agreement. From the initial response to the Ratisborn address with its 38 signatories to the subsequent declaration A Common Word with the adherence of 138 personalities, which was subsequently expanded, the tendency on the Muslim side has been to achieve basic agreement to dialogue with Christians. This is not a secondary question because agreement for a large part of Muslim theology is one of the sources of the elaboration of doctrine.
The second new feature is that in this Forum, as in the open letter, the emphasis has been placed in a decisive way on the religious dimension, if not even on the strictly theological dimension. In the communiqué that preceded this event one reads that the composition of the delegations is 'religious and not political', 'is separate from the diplomatic relations of States and was constituted on the basis of sapiential authority'. Indeed, it is evident that the statement of principle contained in the open letter must be verified in the light of its concrete translation into a context which is increasingly difficult for Christian minorities, as the continuing exodus of Christians from the Middle East demonstrates. However, the wish of the two parties is not to dissolve the specificity of the religious fact into, albeit important, geopolitical considerations.
One of the moving spirits of Islamic-Christian dialogue, Father Georges Anawati, loved to repeat that in this field it was necessary to arm oneself with 'geological patience'. It would, therefore, be illusory to imagine that wounds that go back more than a thousand years can be healed in the space of a few months. The aim of the Forum is to explore the affirmation of love of God and neighbour in its theological and spiritual aspects but also in relation to its practical consequences for the defence of the dignity of the human person and the defence of religious freedom. The fifteen points of the final document offer different points of departure in this direction. It is certainly the case that today there are many questions which must be answered, but for a believer the most burning question is perhaps the simplest one: do Muslims and Christians worship the same God? Without this mutual recognition everything becomes more difficult. The answer on the Catholic side is clear and was proposed by Lumen Gentium, in n. 16: 'But the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator. In the first place amongst these there are the Mohamedans, who, professing to hold the faith of Abraham, along with us adore the one and merciful God, who on the last day will judge mankind'. This was an answer emphasised yesterday by Benedict XVI in his audience to the participants: 'I am well aware that Muslims and Christians have different approaches in matters regarding God. Yet we can and must be worshippers of the one God who created us and is concerned about each person in every corner of the world'
On the Muslim side Seyyed Hossein Nasr stated: 'For both us and you, God is at once transcendent and immanent, creator and sustainer of the world… the lover whose love embraces the whole of the created order'. This is the basic belief that inspires the continuation of dialogue.

Home / Articles & Advice / What Can I Expect from a Car Accident Settlement in Vermont?
Nobody expects to a motor vehicle crash to leave them with serious injuries.
The aftermath of a collision can be frustrating and painful.
Many car accident victims want to settle their claims quickly.
They want to obtain financial compensation to cover medical bills and lost wages.
But it is important to work with a Vermont car accident attorney in order to get the best possible settlement.
We receive questions from clients about the car accident settlement process and the timetable for settlements. The process in Vermont can vary depending upon the specific facts of your case. There are some key elements of every claims settlement process. We can provide you with more information about how your settlement is likely to progress. Reach out to talk to someone today.
You must report some, but not all, crashes to the Vermont Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. Under Vermont law (23 V.S.A. § 1129), if the accident involves $3,000 or more of property damage, then you must report it within 72 hours of the crash.
The next step in the car accident settlement process is filing an auto insurance claim. Depending upon the specific facts of your case, you may decide to file through your own insurance company (a "first-party claim") or through the negligent party's insurance company (a "third-party claim").
At least $10,000 for property damage in a single collision.
If you decide to file through your own insurance company, you may be eligible for a larger amount of compensation in the settlement if you have additional coverage, or if the negligent driver caused damage to more than your vehicle. In other words, the negligent driver's policy limits may prevent you from getting sufficient compensation. However, there are drawbacks to filing with your own insurance company. You will have to pay your deductible up front, and you will need to deal with the repercussions of filing a claim. Keep in mind that your own policy limits may be insufficient if the accident was especially severe.
If you decide to file through the negligent driver's insurance company, you will not have to pay a deductible, but the claims process may take longer, and the insurance policy limits could prevent you from being fully compensated for your losses.
The next phase of the settlement process is negotiating with the insurance company. The insurance company frequently will offer a low-ball settlement offer. If you believe that the offer is too low, you can come back with a counteroffer. This is frequently a lengthy process, and it is important to have an experienced advocate on your side to handle the negotiation process.
Amount of time you have been unable to work as a result of your car accident injuries.
If you do not receive a fair settlement, you can always file a lawsuit in order to seek compensation for your losses.
If you were injured in a motor vehicle crash, an aggressive personal injury lawyer can help you with the claims and settlement processes. Contact Sabbeth Law today to get started.

The Roman Catholic Church has said it is in a "catch-22 situation" over the A-listed St Peter's Seminary in Scotland, as it can't sell, demolish or give away the brutalist ruin designed by Gillespie, Kidd and Coia.
The Archdiocese of Glasgow told BBC Scotland the brutalist building, once hailed as a masterpiece, will remain a ruin unless it gets public funding.
A spokesperson said the Church has been unable to sell, give away or demolish the structure, which was granted A-listed status in 1992, following the renovation plans being shelved.
"We are literally struck," Church spokesperson Ronnie Convery said. "We can't sell it, we can't give it away, we can't demolish it. We are in a catch-22 situation," he added.
"We would literally give it away for nothing but we can't find anyone to take it off our hands."
Glasgow-based arts organisation NVA used to own the structure, but a £10 million plan to turn it into a cultural centre fell through when the charity folded in the summer of 2018.
Now the Archdiocese of Glasgow is once again responsible for the derelict building, but said it was in an "impossible position".
"The archdiocese recognises that it has the responsibility to maintain the estate, to keep it secure and provide the proper insurance cover, but as you can imagine it is a huge albatross around our neck."
An albatross strung around the neck is a metaphor alluding to Samuel Colridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, where the dead bird acts as a symbol of a burden that feels like a supernatural curse.
Architectural firm Gillespie, Kidd and Coia completed the priests training college in Cardross, near Dumbarton, in 1966.
Scottish architects and Andy MacMillan and Isi Metzstein designed St Peter's Seminary's vaulted chapel ceilings and rough concrete form that owed a stylistic debt to Le Corbusier.
But with the number of aspiring priests in decline it never reached its full capacity of 100 students and had closed by 1980.
Since its completion the building has been plagued by maintenance issues related to its unique design, and problems with water ingress.
Public funded needed to save "concrete car park"
Convery said that St Peter's Seminary would probably need public funding to prevent it falling into further decay.
"If someone were to go today through the forest and try to find this A-listed masterpiece they would probably be shocked because it looks to an average person, who does not have a lot of architectural background, a bit like a concrete car park that has fallen into ruin," said Convery.
Any plan to rejuvenate the ruin will be hampered by the amount of damage that has been done to the building since it stopped being used Catherine Croft, director of the Twentieth Century Society told Dezeen.
"The great tragedy here has been the lack of maintenance and security. Unchecked vandalism and lack of repairs has caused millions of pounds worth of damage, which any scheme to secure the site's future now has to deal with," said Croft.
"It's a real object lesson on how important it is to secure buildings whilst their fate is decided. We very much hope that funding will be forthcoming to save this unique masterpiece."
A spokesperson for the Scottish government said that the future of the building was in the hands of the Archdiocese of Glasgow.
It's been a bad month for abandoned modernist landmarks, with discussions of blowing Berthold Lubetkin's Penguin Pool "to smithereens" making headlines last week.

Q: Linux find folder and rename I want to rename all .hg_gg folders in /var/www to .hg. How can I do it?
I know how to rename .hg to .hg_gg.
find /var/www -name ".hg" -exec bash -c 'mv $0 $0_gg' {} \;

but don't know how to make reverse change.

A: Try this:
find /var/www -name ".hg_gg" -execdir bash -c 'mv {} .hg' \;

You need to use a special syntax defined by find: {} is the placeholder for the current file name. Check the man page for that. Also it is important to use -execdir instead of -exec. execdir changes the current working directory to the folder where the found directory is located. Otherwise it would do something like this mv /var/www/.hg_gg ./.hg
You can speed up things a bit when restricting find to find folders only using -type d:
find /var/www -type d -name ".hg_gg" -execdir bash -c 'mv {} .hg' \;

A: Consider this find command with -execdir and -prune options:
find /var/www/ -type d -name ".hg_gg" -execdir mv '{}' '.gg' \; -prune

*

*-execdir will execute the command in each subdirectory

*-prune  causes find to not descend into the current file

A: Not a one liner, but you could do this:
for file in `find /var/www -name ".hg_gg"`; do
    mv $file `echo $file | sed 's/hg_gg$/hg/'`
done

Q: is Node.js a Javascript runtime environment or a Javascript framework? I am new to Node.js and trying to understand it. I have read on the web saying Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment. I liked that description. But a book title in Amazon.com says it is a JavaScript framework. So I am confused. Where do you classify Node.js? Is it a JavaScript runtime environment or a JavaScript framework? Actually it really doesn't matter, but knowing it clearly helps talking about it.

A:
Node.js® is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript
  engine. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that
  makes it lightweight and efficient. Node.js' package ecosystem, npm,
  is the largest ecosystem of open source libraries in the world. [0]

In short, the creators consider it a JavaScript runtime.

Smoltz records six strikeouts in minor league rehab assignment
Pete Iacobelli
John Smoltz sat with a big smile on his face after his longest rehab start of the season, convinced it wouldn't be long before the former Cy Young winner was his old, lights-out self.
"I don't think I'm far away," Smoltz said Sunday. "Today was more a familiar pitching that I thought I was capable of the last month, two months."
Smoltz looked strong and in command over five innings of work with the Greenville Drive. He allowed a run on four hits against the Charleston RiverDogs, but closed by retiring his final seven batters – including the final three on strikeouts.
"I think I'm going to get a little more complete each time," Smoltz said, with ice on his repaired right shoulder. "For the most part, I'm really pleased with today's effort. I felt really fresh in the fifth inning, even though it's the longest stint I've had."
It was Smoltz' third minor-league rehab appearance in the past 11 days as he continues recovering from surgery to fix a torn labrum.
Smoltz pitched three innings for the Drive on May 21, then went 31/3 innings with Double-A Portland on May 27.
Smoltz says he'll rejoin the Red Sox in Detroit this week, then wait for an expected start at Triple-A Pawtucket. His goal is to reach the bigs by mid-June, although he hopes his start with Boston does not occur during its weekend series against Smoltz' former club, Atlanta, from June 19-21.
"It seems like five years ago that I started this road to recovery," he said.
Smoltz, 42, signed with the Sox in the offseason after 20 seasons with the Braves.
His name was on the marquee Sunday afternoon and fans turned out for a record attendance of 7,129 at four-year-old Fluor Field – the third straight record crowd in his three rehab starts.
Smoltz waved to fans as he walked in from pre-game warm-ups, then got a standing ovation when he walked to the mound. Smoltz had been here three previous times on rehab assignments with the Greenville Braves, Atlanta's Double-A affiliate for 21 years until moving to Mississippi.
Matt and Jennifer Davis wore Smoltz jerseys with his familiar 29 from his Atlanta days.
"When he got hurt, we were hoping we'd get the chance to see him this season," Jennifer Davis said.
She and her mother, Janet Tindall, remembered a Mother's Day trip more than a decade ago where the two drove from Virginia to Pittsburgh to watch Smoltz pitch at Three Rivers Stadium.
"We've followed him a long time," Tindall said.
Smoltz gave his longtime supporters plenty to cheer about. He retired six in a row during one stretch, often topping 90 mph on the stadium's radar gun.
His toughest inning came with two outs in the third when Charleston's Abraham Almonte reached on a high bouncer to second, and Smoltz gave up singles to the next two hitters.
Smoltz regained his stride the next inning, setting Charleston down 1-2-3 and ended things with a nifty grab on a ball sent back up the middle.
He ended with a flourish in the fifth, striking out his final three batters – each one looking at called strike three.
Smoltz got a second standing ovation as he walked off the mound despite trailing 1-0, tipping his cap to the appreciative crowd as he got near the dugout.
He threw 73 pitches, 52 for strikes, and did not walk a batter.
"You could see the improvement from his first rehab start to this one," said Drive catcher Tim Federowicz, who was also behind the plate for Smoltz in Augusta, Ga., two weeks ago.
"He had a lot better control. He had a lot better action on his fastball, his breaking ball, everything looked really good today."
The Drive took Smoltz off the hook, tying the game at 1-all in the sixth before a three-run seventh gave them the lead in the 4-1 victory.
"We didn't want to give John Smoltz a loss in Greenville," Federowicz said.
The appearance may have given Smoltz some insight into his future big league home – and the Red Sox biggest rival. Fluor Field was built as a replica of venerable Fenway Park, complete with a smaller, 30-foot version of the Green Monster in left field.
Plus, the RiverDogs are the South Atlantic League affiliate of the Yankees.
It's been an interesting strech for Smoltz, who married Kathryn Darden earlier this month, then began his rehab assignments less a week later. With 210 victories, 142 saves and a Hall of Fame spot in Cooperstown likely, Smoltz has been questioned too often about why he wants to return at all.
"It's not to end on my terms, although that would be great," Smoltz said. "I just still enjoy it."

Japan's tragic quake strikes close to home
EVEN the painful videos that captured the 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan seem to go on forever. Images of the 23-foot tsunami wave rampaging ashore, and its debris-laden assault inland are even harder to watch.
Japan's natural disaster is a human tragedy with a special kinship here in the Puget Sound region. The extraordinary loss of life, destruction and dislocation and economic havoc are heart rending. Awareness of our own vulnerability makes the scenes all the more disturbing.
The quake 80 miles off Japan's eastern coast, and spread over a broad area, ranks as the fifth strongest on record since 1900. Two days earlier the area produced a 7.2 magnitude rattle scientists describe as a forequake.
Orders of magnitude take on extra meaning with the 10th anniversary of the Feb. 28, 2001, Nisqually quake. Seattle Times reporter Sandi Doughton explained how scientists have spent the past decade documenting a growing list of hazards and risks. Ten active faults have been added to the two known faults in 2001.
Japan's 8.9 quake was 10 times more powerful with each point higher than the 6.8 Nisqually quake. Estimates of the energy released are even bigger. Our region is vulnerable to deep offshore quakes and shallow faults near cities, similar to conditions for the New Zealand quake in February.
Doughton reported that scientists were astounded by the number of big faults discovered in this region in the past 10 years, but they are also seeing those insights and realities inform construction and emergency planning, a federal seismic-hazard expert noted.
Early morning radio broadcasts Friday were filled with reports of coastal evacuation plans in Washington and Oregon. Even one-hour school delays were calibrated to tsunami warnings.
Literally building earthquake considerations into future construction planning is unavoidable. Those efforts need to be guided by science, engineering and a measure of humility. Countries with a history of devastating quakes, such as Japan and Chile, responded with new construction standards only to see them bested by ever violent temblors.
Japan's nuclear reactors are getting special attention after Friday's earthquake. Many have been shut down, and some are experiencing problems with their cooling systems. Flooding, fires and collapsed buildings all took their toll.
The international response with technical assistance and humanitarian aid is building. After doing what can done to comfort the afflicted, the scientific inquiry must begin. Puget Sound has very real reasons to pay close attention to the lessons learned.


Individuals who lose a significant amount of weight will sometimes consider skin removal surgery to address problem areas that exist as the result of the weight loss. The thighs, specifically, are an area that can be troublesome if excessive loose skin hangs on the outer and inner thighs. Las Vegas plastic surgeon, Dr. Christopher Khorsandi, is an experienced body contouring surgeon and offers thighplasty for patients desiring tighter thighs. Due to the success of bariatric surgeries, the number of thigh lift procedures performed has nearly quadrupled in just the last several years. Thighplasty trims the excess skin around the thighs and tightens the remaining underlying tissue to create a toned, softer appearance. More and more individuals consider this surgery as a part of their weight loss transformation.
"The Most Talented And Caring Surgeon - Dr. Khorsandi was my fourth and last consult I went to before I booked my breast augmentation and tummy tuck with side lift surgery, What ultimately impressed me the most about him over the 3 physician in 3 other states I condults with is he told me the truth as to what was possible and what would give me the best results, not what I wanted to hear. Dr Khorsandi not only explained clearly what... - - Dr. Khorsandi was my fourth and last consult I went to before I booked my breast augmentation and tummy tuck with side lift surgery, What ultimately impressed me the most about him over the 3 physician in 3 other states I condults with is he told me the truth as to what was possible and what would give me the best results, not what I wanted to hear. Dr Khorsandi not only explained clearly what he suggested doing but he spent the time to explain why and what his reasoning was behind it. Now when I look in the mirror, I am speechless and elated with the results, My breast are the perfect size and shape to fit my body type. My stomach is flatter and tighter than it was when I was 18, He had suggested a side lift instead of ipo suction which was the perfect solution to the issues I was having with loose skin, In surgery he did much more than was required to make sure my results were outstanding, Now I have the voluptuous body I always dreamed of. I look and feel 20 years younger. I owe him a debt of gratitude and he has made me the happiest lady on the planet. On a side note his staff was great and though he could charge much more for his incredible surgical skill his charges were much more than reasonable. I will be recommending him highly to others."
Thigh lift surgery costs an average of $8,000. The fees increase if the surgery is combined with another lower body cosmetic procedure.

"Mixing trade wind swell, ground swell and currents can be very uncomfortable on a small boat, especially in the channels. The Tern 23 absolutely shines in these seas. I now regularly take my boat offshore in less than ideal weather because the ride is still comfortable and dry. The boat can go 20 mph in rougher seas and when the weather turns for the worse we still have a safe ride home that's easy on the back. This is the best boat I've ever ridden, much less owned. "
"The ride on this boat is amazing. What is different about it from all other cats is that it never pounds at trolling speeds even in big seas. It is also very stable in a following or quartering sea. Overall, these boats ride as good or better as most any other cat on the water. "

Q: Google photos API and fetching individual photos I try to fetch photos from a selected album, that's why I want to just list mediaItems in a given albumId. However this does not change and just returns 400 http code. The albumId is correct, because I first checked it via API, and also it gives me
from __future__ import print_function
from apiclient.discovery import build

Rescue Rinko from the Demon Choujin
Mantarou just lay on the mat while Judas laughed maniacally at the top of his lungs. Had he actually defeated Kinniku Mantarou? All seemed lost now and there was nothing that could be done about it.
Now, Judas never knew his parents. See, they had been killed shortly after he was born and as a result, he was adopted by two humans. They weren't just any old married couple, either. These 2 were the ones responsible for his parents' death.
"Look, that kid is nothing more than a spawn of those monsters," the husband said as the wife shook her head and stated, "We can't just leave a baby out to die in the cold."
Judas grew up thinking these humans were his parents. When he asked why he looked nothing like them while the other kids did, they simply told him that he was born with a mutation, something that couldn't be changed.
Now, one might think his life ended up like Forestman and Pierson's did, in which he spent his life ridiculed for his appearance. Luckily, the kids where he lived weren't quite as judgmental and accepted him as an equal. They were raised not to judge one by appearance alone.
Judas lived 10 happy years making a good number of friends and showing love and compassion towards his family… until one day.
He was having trouble getting to sleep and walked down the steps in his pajamas with a yawn. Upon reaching the bottom step, he overheard something he really shouldn't have.
"I still don't know about all of this," his father said to his wife while the two sat on the couch, "It all seems too good to last."
"Now, Jared," Judas' mother replied, "It's for the best that he doesn't know about his real parents."
`Real parents?' Judas thought, `So I'm adopted?'
Judas' eyes were wide. Now, he had no problem with being adopted, but for his parents not to tell him… why wouldn't they? What they said next answered this very question.
"I guess you're right," the father replied, "Just imagine how he'd take it if he found out that we were the ones who blew up his house with dynamite and killed his parents."
The couple did go on, but Judas didn't care about what else they were saying. The second he heard that they had caused the death of his real parents when he didn't even know they existed, the young dragon was furious.
At that very moment, the couple heard snarling and slowly moved their eyes behind them and saw Judas standing there with rage all over his face.
"Judas…" the mother said, "What are you doing up?"
"You lied to me…" Judas remarked backing away from them, "YOU KILLED MY PARENTS!!!"
"Son, listen…" the father said, but Judas cut him off shouting, "YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER!!!!"
The mother's eyes widened as Judas' cheeks inflated releasing a flame into the father's face. The dragon's adopted father held onto his face as the flesh burned off.
Then Judas angrily turned to his mother and snapped, "YOU'LL BE THE FIRST TO GO!!!!"
The mother was too shocked to move as Judas leapt atop her and bit hard into her head. He continued to ram his teeth into her as blood dripped out until the mother finally lost too much blood and fell to the floor.
Meanwhile, the father was still trying to ignore the burning on his face, but it was too late as Judas picked up a butcher knife and rammed it into the man's back. The child dragon breathed heavily and said, "You've been avenged, mom and dad."
Judas looked down at Mantarou's unconscious body and said, "Humans have brought me nothing but pain and misery. With their greatest hero gone, they will be defenseless against my wrath."
This came as a surprise to Forestman. He'd never heard anything about that. He understood the dragon's pain, though. He had been wronged by humans in his past. But then he faced a teenager who taught him the value of friendship.
Checkmate examined Mantarou and shouted, "Mantarou! Mantarou!"
Forestman nodded and joined him shouting, "Mantarou! Mantarou!"
Rinko started to worry not only about her own life, but about the kid as well. She may have hidden it a lot, but she really did care about Mantarou.
Judas laughed shouting, "Why even bother trying? Your cheering will not bring him back! He's gone forever!"
After a while, it seemed true. Silence filled the area as everyone stopped chanting the kid's name. Forestman looked closely at the kid and lowered his head with a sad expression.
"There's no doubt about it," the mutated plant said, "Kinniku Mantarou is dead."
There was silence all throughout the area. There was just no way this could be true. Rinko tried her hardest not to cry and bit her lip while tears ran down her face.
At this moment, Meat's eyes started to slowly open as he finally regained consciousness. His vision was blurry for a second, but it wasn't long before he could see clearly again and he wished he hadn't.
"MANTAROU!!!" he screamed as Checkmate placed a hand on the child's shoulder shaking his head and saying, "He's dead, Meat-kun."
Meat couldn't believe what he had just heard. He'd finally regained consciousness only to find that his student was dead.
"I have no choice," Forestman said, sniffing, "I'm going to have to revive him."
"Wait, if you could revive him, why didn't you revive everyone else?" Checkmate asked as Forestman shook his head and said, "I can only use this power once. You see, all of us Demon choujins have the power to resurrect one who has fallen, but sadly, it costs us our own lives to do it. I would have done this sooner, but I wasn't certain if Mantarou would survive his fight against Judas."
"What are you saying?" Meat asked as Forestman stated, "Unlike the others, while I still lose my life in the process, I can bring back more than one. I wanted to wait until the end of Mantarou's match to use that power otherwise it would have been in vain."
"Wait!" Rinko snapped, "What is this all about!?"
That's right. Rinko didn't know that Terry the Kid, Seiuchin, Gazelleman and Kevin had also shown up to help Mantarou save her.
Meat sighed and stated, "Rinko, there were 4 others who came with us and all 4 of them died in the process."
Rinko couldn't believe it. All of this had happened because she had been kidnapped. She couldn't help feeling responsible for all of this.
"I can bring them back," Forestman reminded them, "Don't worry about it."
Checkmate nodded in understanding as Meat let down tears saying, "Forestman, you don't have to do this."
"But I must," the mutated plant said, "I have spent these last couple of years as a villain. This I feel is the only way to truly redeem myself."
With that, Forestman transformed his fingers into vines and shoved them down his throat, pulling out a seed. This seed was his heart.
Forestman smiled and broke off a segment saying, "This piece is for Terry the Kid."
Breaking off another couple, he stated, "These pieces are for Gazelleman and Seiuchin."
All 3 shot up into the air as he split the bottom half of the seed in two saying, "These last two are for Kinniku Mantarou and Kevin Mask."
The segments then shot out of his hand. One sunk into the gooey ceiling as Kevin body came out, the flesh around his heart glowing.
Meanwhile, in the pyramid, Gazelleman's eyes opened wide when something touched his heart and caused it to start pumping again. Upon seeing that his heart was out to his flesh, he started to panic, but when his flesh started to repair itself and merge with the heart, he was more surprised than frightened.
Seiuchin's eyes opened when he saw a glow near his heart. He simply blinked and thought, `How did I survive the 50-story drop?'
Terry was the most surprised as his body floated up out of the quicksand assisted by a strange light near his heart.
All 4 previous victims had returned to Judas' realm as the dragon stood there in shock. He didn't think that Forestman could actually possess such a power.
"We're alive," Gazelleman said, still in shock while Terry simply grinned and said, "I knew there was no way a buffalo was going to keep me down!"
Meat let down tears and embraced Terry shouting, "WE THOUGHT YOU WERE GONE FOR GOOD!!!"
While Terry tried his best to pry Meat off of him, Gazelleman and Seiuchin blinked, noticing that even Checkmate was letting down tears and advancing towards them with his arms out.
"OH, GOOD GOD, STAY AWAY FROM US!!!!" they snapped as Checkmate rubbed the back of his head and said, "I was only kidding."
"How are we still alive?" Kevin asked, "All of us died."
"WE REALLY DID DIE!!!??" Seiuchin spat, panic once again filling his body as Meat pointed at Forestman whose face was now wrinkled.
"It's good to see you guys alive and well…" he said with a smile, "It's good to know that my sacrifice wasn't in vain."
But Rinko was still upset, and it wasn't hard to see why. Though Mantarou's heart had a glow around it, he wasn't moving. He was still unconscious and his heart refused to beat.
"But why?" Meat asked as Judas laughed, "Well, it's nice that all of you are back, but unless Mantarou can still fight me, I'm afraid this victory still belongs to me and Rinko will remain my prisoner!"
"NO, MANTAROU!!!" Rinko cried as the others just stared, shocked expressions on their faces.
Mantarou found himself in a world full of darkness. Everywhere, it was dark. And he himself was running from who else but the Grim Reaper.
"Come back here, Kinniku Mantarou," the reaper said, holding his scythe, "It's not worth it to resist me!"
Mantarou let down tears when suddenly six orbs of light came in and sent the grim reaper packing. Mantarou was shocked when these orbs turned into the faces of his friends.
"Get up, you big crybaby," Terry said, "You still have a match to fight."
"It's not over yet," Seiuchin stated as Gazelleman added, "We didn't come all this way for failure."
Checkmate simply nodded as Kevin said, "There is no way my most worthy opponent is going to lose! I will not allow it!"
Forestman's head simply said, "Good luck, Kinniku Mantarou," and shattered while a hole appeared in the sky and Mantarou rose up towards it.
Meat's look of sadness changed to a smile when Mantarou's pupils reappeared. The kid's eyes went wide as he slowly got to his feet, breathing heavily.
"I don't think we're done yet," the kid said with a grin as Judas simply stared, wide-eyed while the Kin mark appeared on the kid's forehead.

Netanyahu to Obama: No return to 1967 lines
By Alan Silverleib, CNN
Tension at White House meeting
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects a return to the 1967 borders
President Barack Obama and Netanyahu hold meeting at the White House on Friday
The pre-1967 borders should be starting point on a future Palestinian state, Obama says
Netanyahu: A 1967 basis for such borders would leave Israel "indefensible"
Washington (CNN) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday firmly rejected President Barack Obama's call for an approximate return to the borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war, telling the U.S. leader that such a move is impossible in light of current security concerns and demographic realities.
The two leaders pledged to work together, however, in the pursuit of a comprehensive Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement.
"Israel wants peace. I want peace," Netanyahu said while meeting with Obama at the White House. But "a peace based on illusions will crash eventually on the rocks of Middle Eastern reality," he said.
"Obviously there are some differences between us in the precise formulations and language, and that's going to happen between friends," Obama said.
"But what we are in complete accord about is that a true peace can only occur if the ultimate resolution allows Israel to defend itself against threats, and that Israel's security will remain paramount in U.S. evaluations of any prospective peace deal."
Both men stressed that the presence of the militant group Hamas in a Palestinian government would be extremely problematic for future peace talks. The United States and Israel consider Hamas a terrorist group.
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas "has to decide if he negotiates or keeps his pact with Hamas, or makes peace with Israel," Netanyahu said. "I hope he makes the choice -- the right choice -- in choosing peace with Israel."
But Abbas' spokesman said it was Netanyahu who was derailing the peace process.
"These statements are an official declaration that he is not ready for true peace based on justice and international resolutions," presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh told the WAFA news agency.
Abu Rudeineh said the Palestinian government independent and has "nothing to do with Fatah or Hamas. What Netanyahu is saying are excuses to avoid sitting at the negotiating table," he said.
Obama's call Thursday for an approximate return to the 1967 borders, which made official a long-held but rarely stated U.S. position, has increased tension between the two longstanding allies at a moment of turbulent change in the Arab world.
Israel seized the West Bank, Gaza, Golan Heights and Sinai Peninsula during the 1967 war. The Sinai has since been returned to Egypt. Israel annexed the Golan Heights in 1981, a move not recognized by the international community and condemned by Syria, which still claims the land.
Hamas now controls Gaza, while the more moderate Palestinian group Fatah administers the West Bank, site of a growing number of Israeli settlements. Ultimately, the Palestinians are aiming to unite Gaza and the West Bank under the authority of a new state.
The Israeli government has repeatedly said, among other things, that peace talks with the Palestinians cannot seriously proceed without firmer security guarantees and a clear recognition of the Jewish state's right to exist.
Obama-Netanyahu meeting 'productive'
Moussa on chances of Middle East peace
Obama said Thursday that the borders of Israel and a Palestinian state "should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states."
His position largely agreed with the Palestinian negotiating stance on border issues in the staggering peace process, now stalled by disputes over Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the role of Hamas in the Palestinian leadership.
At the same time, Obama reiterated unwavering U.S. support for Israel's security Thursday, and he endorsed certain negotiating positions of Netanyahu's government, including an incremental handover of security responsibilities by Israel when conditions on the ground allow it.
He also said a future Palestinian state would have to remain "nonmilitarized."
Obama sought to undercut momentum for a declaration of Palestinian statehood at the United Nations in September, warning that "symbolic actions to isolate Israel (at the U.N.) won't create an independent state."
The president said he recognizes that two "wrenching and emotional issues" remain unresolved: the future status of Jerusalem, which is claimed by both sides, and the fate of Palestinian refugees who claim Israel as their homeland.
Netanyahu, considered hawkish on security matters, reacted coolly to the president's speech. He has argued that the 1967 borders are now "indefensible" for Israel, and noted that major population centers are located beyond those lines.
Hamas also rejected the terms outlined in the speech, calling them "empty of concrete significance."
Israel, meanwhile, announced the approval Thursday of new projects to build 1,500 housing units in Har Homa and Pisgat Zeev, which are outside the 1967 borders. The projects had previously received initial approval, said Roye Lackmanovich, an Interior Ministry spokesman.
Israeli officials said before Friday's meeting that Netanyahu intended to use the occasion not only to stress his opposition to a restoration of the 1967 lines, but also to seek specifics on the type of security guarantees envisioned by the president, including the assertion that a Palestinian state would remain nonmilitarized.
Netanyahu also wanted Obama to clarify his stance on both Hamas and the so-called "right of return" for Palestinian families who left Israel after the state's founding in 1948. Israel has repeatedly warned that it cannot allow those families to return without sacrificing its identity as a Jewish state.
Netanyahu made clear after Friday's meeting that the families of the 1948 refugees cannot settle within Israel's borders.
While Netanyahu and other conservative members of the Israeli government have been critical of Obama in the wake of Thursday's speech, the president also has defenders within the Knesset, Israel's parliament.
Tzipi Livni, an opposition leader and former foreign minister, applauded Obama's call for a two-state solution.
"An American president that supports a two-state solution represents the Israeli interest and is not anti-Israeli," Livni said. "President Obama's call to start negotiations represents Israel's interests."
Also, the group known as the Middle East Quartet -- which includes the United Nations, Russia, the European Union and the United States -- issued a statement Friday offering its "strong support" for Obama's "vision of Israeli-Palestinian peace."
The White House has been heavily focused on Middle East issues this week. Obama met with Jordan's King Abdullah II on Tuesday and will address the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, an influential pro-Israel lobbying group, on Sunday.
CNN's Elise Labott, Kevin Flower and Tom Cohen contributed to this report.

We have a new detox approach with a relaxed, "at home" atmosphere along with personalized service and individualized treatment plans. We accomplish this by creating a tailored detox program for each patient's body, metabolism and circumstance and provide excellent medical supervision, 24-hour nursing care and 24-hour access to a withdraw specialist.

We have the ideal place for someone to begin the healing process from their addiction or dependency. There is hope for a new life — it starts right here.
What Are The Best Drug Detox and The Best Alcohol Detox Programs?
Ensure that people don't get switched from the drug or alcohol from which they wanted to withdraw to another drug.
Has anyone died during drug detox or alcohol detox?
Rapid Detox claims that you can detox from a drug while under anesthesia for six to eight hours.
But, omits telling you that, if you are under anesthesia for 6 to 8 hours with the strong drug used for detox that is injected in your body, recuperation often takes from a few uncomfortable days to several weeks.
If someone is considering Rapid Detox, ask the provider about the types of symptoms experienced by Rapid Detox patients and how long these lasted.
And often become dependent on those drugs - thus requiring further detoxification.
Unlike Rapid Detox, at Novus Medical Center there is no severe shock to your body and in most cases, you will be able to work or relax during your detox program and leave, not on additional drugs, ready to resume your life or, if needed, to take the next step in your recovery.
Detox Programs at Novus provide detox services for people wishing to withdraw from drugs like OxyContin, heroin, psychotropics, alcohol, or benzodiazepines.
Novus Medical Detox Center — Quitting a Dangerous Drug Without Becoming Addicted to Another or Other Drugs.
Detoxification programs at many other facilities result in your detoxification from one drug but they often place you on another drug.
The Novus Program does not replace one drug with another.
Our objective is for you to be drug-free and safely off all dangerous drugs.
Once you have successfully withdrawn, our doctor can advise you on things you can do to help you stay comfortably drug-free.
OxyContin detox, psychotropics detox, alcohol detox, heroin detox or benzo detox usually range from 6 to 10 days of medically supervised detoxification.
Each program is individually designed, and so could take a shorter time or a longer time.
Our medical director designs your personal detoxification program after meeting with you, reviewing your medical history and analyzing medical tests conducted at our facility.
Daily, the medical staff will carefully examine you and review your condition and progress.
This will determine the dosage reduction each day and this procedure will continue until your detox is safely completed.
Our goal at Novus Medical Detox Center is to provide the highest standards of treatment to make your drug detox and recovery a success, as rapidly as possible!
