Bruce Springsteen has unleashed his first archival live release of the year, with the rocker focusing on a rarities-filled St. Louis gig from 2008.
The August 23rd, 2008 concert, recorded in the midst of the E Street Band's tour in support of Magic, featured Springsteen and company performing some songs for the first time in decades thanks to sign requests in the audience.
These include the band's renditions of the Crystals' "Then He Kissed Me" and Harold Dorman's "Mountain of Love," which hadn't been performed by Springsteen and the E Street Band since 1975.
Check out Springsteen's live archive site for full track list and download information. Physical copies of Scottrade Center, St. Louis, 8/23/08 will ship May 1st.
In November, the Springsteen archives dug up a Buffalo 2009 concert that featured a full album performance of Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. as well as the last time saxophonist Clarence Clemons played with the E Street Band before his June 2011 death. 2016 also saw the first official release of Springsteen's famed "Christic Shows," a pair of solo concerts recorded in Los Angeles in November 1990.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bull from My Son and I hunted with my new AR, and with the MSL took a shoulder shot. My deer dropped right there 100 yard shot.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dad0608 from No exit wound 12-5-17 105# doe 50 yards. Full broad side shot. Dropped no e it wound. 12-6-17 225# 8 PT buck full broad side. Ran 50-60 yards in the woods. Both had lung shots. No blood left on food plot. On either animal. I understood it was a smaller round. Very satisfied with the performance as far as killing the animal! But if you are using this round pat attention to where the deer enters the wood line. The first blood I found was 20 yards I. The woods.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bearbait from This stuff shoots great This stuff shoots the best out of my AR with a 1:9 twist barrel. Surprisingly deadly on deer size game. My 12 year old shot his first deer, a doe with it at 75 yards right behind the shoulder it jumped went about 40 feet and fell over dead. Bullet did pass through but not without some major damage to the vitals. Wouldn't hesitate for him to take shots 250 yards and in.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TN hunter Dude from Use the fusion msr 223 62 grain last year and this year for my whitetail deer hunts. I have harvested around 10 deer and they either drop in their tracks or go no more than 40 yards. The fusion msr 223 does the job well. My placement shot that works for me is neck shot or right above its front shoulder.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rick L from Awesome small caliber round. Ive been shooting fusion in 150 grain 30-06 for a few years and was very happy with both accuracy and performance. Last year I purchased an AR-15 and fell in love with it. Naturally I wanted to hunt with it but was skeptical about the smallness of the .223. I figured the fusions had never let me down in the past so sighted in with them at 100 yards holding quarter size groups , no suprise there. The suprise was an 8 point 190 pound buck at 110 yards that folded up one shot opening day!. The round entered the quartered to me deer between the shoulder and the brisket took out the heart and one lung. That animal went three feet straight down!.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Deerhunter from Multiple whitetail bucks and does even when major bone is encountered well made bonded bullet holds together and destroys the boiler room vitals Fusion and now Fusion MSR for maximizing velocity in carbine length rifles my friend and I have been able to test these rounds on several whitetails, results have been exceptional, amazingly even when major bone is encountered bullet still destroys the boiler room vitals (lung/heart area). Good job federal on this tough bonded to the jacket with excellent expansion bullet.
Rated 4 out of 5 by JustDave from Good round, just be careful of your shot placement I shot a FL doe this year, standard just behind the shoulder shot placement. Deflated both lungs, the deer made it approximately 100 yards before piling up. Entrance wound was small, exit wound wasn't much larger, so I was pretty stoked about getting lots of clean meat. Upon skinning the deer I was totally amazed at the amount of hemorrhaging had taken place. There was jelled blood all under the skin in the front half of he animal. I shot the deer at 75 yards or so with an AR platform with a 20 inch barrel. Has to be due to the velocity at that range. The harmonics of the bullet passing through are amazing. I will use this round again but I will ensure that I am MOA at 100 for a head shot only.

Big Banks Are About to Offer Up Higher Stock Dividends
Lawrence C. Strauss
Updated June 13, 2019 9:36 am ET / Original June 13, 2019 6:00 am ET
Most of the largest U.S. banks subject to the annual Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review should notch double-digit dividend increases over the next 12 months, according to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods.
However, "we really haven't seen much fluctuation in the dividend payout ratio, which we expect to go up modestly year over year," says Brian Kleinhanzl, a managing director and bank analyst at the firm. The dividend payout ratio is the percentage of earnings paid out as dividends.
He expects the median payout ratio to climb slightly to 32% from 31% for the 12 banks subject to the review, although a few are expected to be at least 35%.
Since the financial crisis of a decade ago, regulators have scrutinized banks' capital planning, including share buybacks and dividends, with a lot more rigor. More recently, they have loosened the reins in terms of how much capital these banks can return to their shareholders.
However, the payout ratio for the banks remains lower than the overall market's, which was about 40% at the end of last year, suggesting that the banks have more room to pay out higher dividends.
The Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review, or CCAR, process grew out of the major disruptions from the financial crisis, when liquidity seized up and some banks didn't have enough capital to survive.
The annual review, administered by the Federal Reserve, involves two parts. There is a so-called stress test to see whether these banks have enough "capital to absorb losses and support operations during adverse economic conditions," according to an explanation on the Fed's website.
There is also the CCAR, under which the Fed analyzes whether banks "have robust, forward-looking capital-planning processes that account for their unique risks." The stress-test results are expected to be released on June 21 after the closing bell, Kleinhanzl says. The CCAR reviews are due the following week.
Because of legislation passed in 2018, the Fed has exempted smaller regional banks from the forthcoming CCAR cycle, which extends from July 1 through June 30 of next year. As a result, there are 12 banks officially being tested in this round, according to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods. Those banks are included in the accompanying table.
Awaiting Approval
The reviews of capital plans for the largest U.S. banks are expected to be released later this month.
2018 and 2019 estimates are based on on Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review annual cycles, which begin July 1. Prices and yields as of June 11. E=estimate
Sources: Keefe, Bruyett & Woods and FactSet
For these banks, credit quality remains sound, but there is uncertainty as well, partly because interest rates have been falling, likely pressuring net-interest margins. Still, many of them have been declaring double-digit dividend increases, and that trend is likely to continue.
Not everyone is penciled in for a big dividend increase, however.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods has the dividend at Capital One Financial (ticker: COF) staying at $1.60 a share in the coming CCAR year. The consensus estimate is $1.71 a share, according to FactSet. Its payout ratio in 2018 was 15%.
Pressed about the company's plans for buybacks and dividends during a conference call in April, CFO Richard Blackley declined to offer specifics. He told analysts that he felt "pretty good" about "a capital distribution that is quite higher than we had last year in our CCAR plan."
On another measure, Goldman Sachs Group (GS) has the lowest dividend yield, at 1.7%. In April the company announced a quarterly dividend of 85 cents a share, up from 80 cents, for a 6% increase.
During the company's annual shareholders meeting in early May, CEO David Solomon said that "we worked hard to continue to grow our dividend over the course of the past decade and have consistently grown our dividend."
The stock has among the lowest dividend payout ratios of these dozen firms. It was 12.5% in 2018, but it has bounced around in recent years. It was 32% in 2017 and 16% the preceding year. The company has preferred share buybacks because they offer more flexibility than dividends.
Morgan Stanley (MS) has a fairly low payout ratio as well, at 24% in 2018. The quarterly dividend is 30 cents a share. CEO James Gorman discussed the dividend last October during the firm's third-quarter earnings call and said the company was making too much money to hold the dividend at that level. "It's shareholder-friendly to have a strong dividend, have a strong buyback, and make the appropriate investments to build growth into the business," he said. "But we can kind of do all three when you're producing nearly $7 billion in net income in 9 months."
Gorman has pushed the company to rely more heavily on its wealth-management arm, where revenue is generally considered more stable than those of many capital-markets businesses.
The consensus of analysts polled by FactSet is for Morgan Stanley's dividend to jump to 35 cents a share in the third quarter. That would be a 17% boost.
The biggest yield on the list belongs to Wells Fargo (WFC), at 3.9%. That is the highest it has been since the financial crisis, according to FactSet. The bank slashed its dividend in 2009.
Wells' attempt to recover from a scandal involving the creation of phony customer accounts has weighed on the stock, which has returned about minus 15% over the past 12 months. However, the company has increased its dividend twice in the past 12 months. The most recent boost was announced in January, when the firm declared a quarterly disbursement of 45 cents a share, up from 43 cents.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods expects Wells Fargo's dividend payout ratio to top 40% over the next 12 months. That would give shareholders more income while they wait for the company's fortunes to improve.

Believer Recommends VII
Ronnie Coleman: The King
Vlad Yudin
Few documentaries opt to follow a top athlete into the deep winter of his career. It's a credit to the extraordinary legacy of bodybuilder Ronnie Coleman (and probably also to a glut of Netflix funding) that this one does. Coleman, known as "the King," was, not too long ago, the world's greatest male bodybuilder. On YouTube, you can watch him back squat 800 pounds—for two reps. In photos, his muscle shirts hang from his traps like decorative ribbons. On stage, his back—maybe the biggest of all time—unfurls like a waxed, oiled, and spray-tanned mountain range of perfect symmetry. If Arnold's goal, as he professed in Pumping Iron, was to balance a beer bottle on his pecs, Colemans' could serve as a full bar. In 2005, Coleman won his eighth Mr. Olympia title. (Arnold peaked at merely seven.)
In footage from those days, Coleman is pure joy to watch. He grunts, hoots, and hisses during his lifts, the barbell visibly curved under the weight of the plates. He had catchphrases: "Ain't nothin' but a peanut," he'd grunt, barely finding the breath, after finishing a set of dumbbell curls. Or, he'd yell, "Light weight babyyyy!" cheerleading himself through deadlift reps. Or, "Ain't nothin' to it but to do it!" Another trademark phrase, "Yeah buddy!", labels his brand of pre-workout powder.
In the documentary, released last year, Coleman is fifty-four, and you could be forgiven for thinking his image was run through FaceApp. The stress of heavy lifting and subsequent spine surgeries have left Coleman unable to walk without crutches. He watches the news on the couch of his Texas home, swallowing fistfuls of oxycodone. He tries to keep up with his four young daughters. He preps for further surgeries. (To date, he's undergone twelve.) Despite this, he continues to hit the gym—the same no-frills basement weight room he started in.
This isn't as self-delusional as it sounds. Though I've often imagined the special tragedy of an athlete feeling her body crumble with use and age—and how it must feel to only remember such exquisite control of strength and musculature—Coleman thinks of it differently. Gains at the gym, for him, are promises for a bigger and better tomorrow, no matter what today looks like: "I'm really tiny at the moment but it's all good because we all know muscles have memory," he wrote on Instagram last year, after a particularly brutal surgery.
In other words, like a true bodybuilder, Coleman sees no reason to stop where he's at. His words say it best: "In closing, I would like to say, oh yeah it ain't over mulbuckers, once again it's on like Ding Dongs."

A Girl Returned
Donatella Di Pietrantonio (translator: Ann Goldstein)
Donatella Di Pietrantonio's third novel begins when an Italian girl on the cusp of adolescence is returned to her family. For the past thirteen years, she has been living in a coastal city with her cousins, whom she believed to be her real family. Life there was sandswept and charming. Her family took long walks on the beach, ate stuffed calamari and ice cream with mixed fruit. But that world has vanished. She now finds herself in a poor countryside town, with her real family, who eat bready meatballs, struggle to put food on the table, and see her as spoiled.
"The only chickens that one's seen are cooked," her mother tells her, after she shies away from plucking a chicken.
As the unnamed protagonist adjusts to her new reality, she finds allies in two of her siblings: Adriana, her younger sister, who is frequently beaten and wets the bed; and Vincenzo, her older brother, who she has quasi-romantic feelings for. Though she is constantly teased for it, she soon distinguishes herself in school for her ability to conjugate verbs and solve geometry problems. And yet, even as she carves a path for herself in this vexing new world, a foundational question remains: why did her old family give her away?
This is the central enigma of the novel, and Di Pietrantonio weaves it skillfully into the texture of nearly every scene. The narrator wonders if she did something to merit her abandonment. Her first mother was sick around the time she had been sent away. Was she still sick? Had she perhaps died? Her questions are simple and rational but no one seems to be able to answer them. Still, the narrator persists in her search for the truth, and as the novel approaches its compelling close, this pursuit draws her out of childhood and into the adult world, with all its messy allegiances and compromises.

Cheese Gourmet
Vermont Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cracker Cut Slices
Cabot Creamery
What's so tricky about slicing one's own brick of cheddar? Nothing, really. Except when the slices come out too thick, or too thin, or—worse—translucent at one end and bulky at the other. Also, slices cut from most grocery-store blocks are too wide to line up with the edges of the modern cracker, which is usually square. You have to hold the whole thing together with an unseemly arrangement of fingers.
Enter Cabot's Cracker Cut Slices. I admit I was skeptical when I heard the ad on NPR, but the announcer's voice was so redolent of cracked wheat and fresh milk that I decided to give them a try. The thin plastic box features a resealable top that presses closed and peels open with the satisfaction of a ziplock. The container is sloped at one end to aid in the extraction of each of the twenty-six slices, lined up inside like a troop of pale, patient soldiers. Each slice separates from the stack with a pleasing adhesive sigh.
Many presliced cheeses flop. The Cracker Cut Slice stays stiff and, when bitten, produces a firm yet tender mouthfeel. It's thin enough to satisfy without indulgence. The "complex, wildly intense flavors" touted by the package might be hyperbole, but the cheddar is Seriously Sharp—and seriously satisfying.

Jackie Sibblies Drury
A writer friend at Vulture recommended the play to me with the irresistible claim that it was the "best piece of culture he'd seen this year"—even better than Fleabag. I'm happy to report that Jackie Sibblies Drury's work cleared that impossibly high bar for me. The 2019 winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Drama is an utterly smart, wildly ambitious, hilarious, daring, discomforting play about race in America that also does the things that theatre as an art form is particularly suited for: dance numbers, synchronicity, the breaking of the fourth wall. And yet this fails to convey what truly happens in the play (ostensibly "about" a well-to-do black family's birthday dinner for Grandma) and how courageously and intelligently Drury and her cast, including a bravura MaYaa Boateng, go about engaging so many contemporary issues (respectability, privilege, appropriation, white gaze). I saw Fairview on a July night at Theatre for a New Audience in downtown Brooklyn and thought of other remarkable recent narrative works dealing with race in America: Paul Beatty's The Sellout, Claudia Rankine's Citizen and The White Card, Young Jean Lee's Straight White Men, and of course Jordan Peele's Get Out. And I think Fairview may stand as an even more towering achievement because of all the incredible risks it takes formally and technically. I don't want to say too much more other than to simply implore you to go see it. You won't be sorry.

Checking out books in cyberspace: School libraries go digital
Posted By Matt Williams| 03-28-2013
School libraries are going digital.
When I think of a library, I think of that musty smell, friendly librarians and the heavy stack of books that I shove into my bag before staggering home. But, like everything else, libraries are being reinvented. A stack of books? How twentieth-century! Instead, why not pick up that half-pound eReader that can hold way more books than you could ever carry.
School libraries in particular are very excited about creating a digital reading world that kids can access anytime, anywhere (as long as they have an internet connection and the right device). But while the potential is obvious to just about everyone, libraries jumped on the tech bandwagon and found that it was a bit more complicated than they expected. Still, they're finding ways to make it work.
Device lending
One school district in Texas bought a few eReaders, loaded them with books and started sharing them with students. The problem was that eReaders weren't meant to be used like books. They had to be authorized to a specific individual and could get accidentally linked to students' home computers. The school couldn't figure out how to manage the devices so they could be used by more than one student, and the program flopped.
But more recently, a school in Massachusetts found a way to use Kindles and iPads effectively. They tether the devices to a master school account. Students can download and access their specific content, and when it goes back to the library, it gets wiped clean so the device can be used by the next student.
One of the huge benefits is that the school has instant access to digital content through Amazon and other sites, so they can get it to kids fast.
"We encourage [students] not to worry about what we already own, but to browse the bigger universe of titles that may interest them," said Thomas Corbett, executive director of Cushing Academy in Ashburnham, MA. "We can immediately satisfy demand, and get students connected into reading more quickly, because they never have to wait for a title to become available."
Another alternative is for school libraries to focus on sharing content rather than devices. OverDrive is a digital library platform that allows you to access eBooks on computers, smartphones, eReaders and other devices.
The company's School Download Library allows students to check out books and content from their devices and access it virtually or offline. Librarians can focus on selecting great reading and educational materials for kids instead of reshelving books.
Although they're still figuring it out, school libraries are making big steps forward. And digital books have made it easier for them to get kids reading.

18 Photos That Show The Difference Between Life In England And Life In Scotland
To people from other countries, the difference between England and Scotland can be a bit confusing. Yes, they are both part of the UK, or Great Britain, but Scotland is also a country in its own right, with its own parliament and laws. And, yes, for anyone whose geography isn't quite up to scratch, Scotland is that bit at the top of of the UK. But, it's not just a geographical difference, the way of life in Scotland can be very different from that in England. English people are seen as being posh and uptight, whereas Scottish people are often considered more rough and ready. Of course, these are just stereotypes for fun, but the following eighteen photos show the difference between life in England and life in Scotland! Take a look!

The rest of the NFL isn't pulling its weight when it comes to stopping the New England Patriots.
That's the opinion of New York Giants wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who blasted the rest of the league for allowing the Patriots to achieve unprecedented success this century. Marshall said Wednesday night during his appearance on "Inside the NFL" the 31 other teams should be "be ashamed" of themselves, as the Patriots prepare for their eighth Super Bowl since 2002.
The Patriots will face the Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 4 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minn., in Super Bowl LII.

ARTICLE 3. The Verdict [624 - 630]
( Article 3 enacted 1872. )
The verdict of a jury is either general or special. A general verdict is that by which they pronounce generally upon all or any of the issues, either in favor of the plaintiff or defendant; a special verdict is that by which the jury find the facts only, leaving the judgment to the Court. The special verdict must present the conclusions of fact as established by the evidence, and not the evidence to prove them; and those conclusions of fact must be so presented as that nothing shall remain to the Court but to draw from them conclusions of law.
(Enacted 1872.)
In all cases the court may direct the jury to find a special verdict in writing, upon all, or any of the issues, and in all cases may instruct them, if they render a general verdict, to find upon particular questions of fact, to be stated in writing, and may direct a written finding thereon. In all cases in which the issue of punitive damages is presented to the jury the court shall direct the jury to find a special verdict in writing separating punitive damages from compensatory damages. The special verdict or finding must be filed with the clerk and entered upon the minutes. Where a special finding of facts is inconsistent with the general verdict, the former controls the latter, and the court must give judgment accordingly.
(Amended by Stats. 1983, Ch. 176, Sec. 2.)

In an action for the recovery of specific personal property, if the property has not been delivered to the plaintiff, or the defendant, by his answer, claim a return thereof, the jury, if their verdict be in favor of the plaintiff, or, if being in favor of defendant, they also find that he is entitled to a return thereof, must find the value of the property, and, if so instructed, the value of specific portions thereof, and may at the same time assess the damages, if any are claimed in the complaint or answer, which the prevailing party has sustained by reason of the taking or detention of such property.
(Amended by Code Amendments 1873-74, Ch. 383.)
In superior courts upon receipt of a verdict, an entry must be made in the minutes of the court, specifying the time of trial, the names of the jurors and witnesses, and setting out the verdict at length; and where a special verdict is found, either the judgment rendered thereon, or if the case be reserved for argument or further consideration, the order thus reserving it.
(Amended by Stats. 2002, Ch. 784, Sec. 63. Effective January 1, 2003.)
(a) The court, before the expiration of its power to rule on a motion for a new trial, either of its own motion, after five days' notice, or on motion of a party against whom a verdict has been rendered, shall render judgment in favor of the aggrieved party notwithstanding the verdict whenever a motion for a directed verdict for the aggrieved party should have been granted had a previous motion been made.
(b) A motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict shall be made within the period specified by Section 659 for the filing and service of a notice of intention to move for a new trial. The moving, opposing, and reply briefs and any accompanying documents shall be filed and served within the periods specified by Section 659a, and the hearing on the motion shall be set in the same manner as the hearing on a motion for new trial under Section 660. The making of a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict shall not extend the time within which a party may file and serve notice of intention to move for a new trial. The court shall not rule upon the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict until the expiration of the time within which a motion for a new trial must be served and filed, and if a motion for a new trial has been filed with the court by the aggrieved party, the court shall rule upon both motions at the same time. The power of the court to rule on a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict shall not extend beyond the last date upon which it has the power to rule on a motion for a new trial. If a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict is not determined before that date, the effect shall be a denial of that motion without further order of the court.
(c) If the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict is denied and if a new trial is denied, the appellate court shall, if it appears that the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict should have been granted, order judgment to be so entered on appeal from the judgment or from the order denying the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict.
(d) If a new trial is granted to the party moving for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, and the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict is denied, the order denying the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict shall nevertheless be reviewable on appeal from that order by the aggrieved party. If the court grants the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or of its own motion directs the entry of judgment notwithstanding the verdict and likewise grants the motion for a new trial, the order granting the new trial shall be effective only if, on appeal, the judgment notwithstanding the verdict is reversed, and the order granting a new trial is not appealed from or, if appealed from, is affirmed.
(Amended by Stats. 2015, Ch. 303, Sec. 40. (AB 731) Effective January 1, 2016.)
(a) Unless the court specified an earlier time for making a motion for directed verdict, after all parties have completed the presentation of all of their evidence in a trial by jury, any party may, without waiving his or her right to trial by jury in the event the motion is not granted, move for an order directing entry of a verdict in its favor.
(b) If it appears that the evidence presented supports the granting of the motion as to some, but not all, of the issues involved in the action, the court shall grant the motion as to those issues and the action shall proceed on any remaining issues. Despite the granting of such a motion, no final judgment shall be entered prior to the termination of the action, but the final judgment, in addition to any matter determined in the trial, shall reflect the verdict ordered by the court as determined by the motion for directed verdict.
(c) If the motion is granted, unless the court in its order directing entry of the verdict specifies otherwise, it shall operate as an adjudication upon the merits.
(d) In actions which arise out of an injury to a person or property, when a motion for directed verdict was granted on the basis that a defendant was without fault, no other defendant during trial, over plaintiff's objection, shall attempt to attribute fault to or comment on the absence or involvement of the defendant who was granted the motion.
(e) The order of the court granting the motion for directed verdict is effective without any assent of the jury.
(f) When the jury for any reason has been discharged without having rendered a verdict, the court on its own motion or upon motion of a party, notice of which was given within 10 days after discharge of the jury, may order judgment to be entered in favor of a party whenever a motion for directed verdict for that party should have been granted had a previous motion been made. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12a, the power of the court to act under the provisions of this section shall expire 30 days after the day upon which the jury was discharged, and if judgment has not been ordered within that time the effect shall be the denial of any motion for judgment without further order of the court.
(Amended by Stats. 1986, Ch. 540, Sec. 12.)

Introduction: Legacy can mean different things to many people. The word "Legacy" means something transmitted (handed down) by or received from an ancestor or predecessor from the past. What we do today is what people will know about us tomorrow. We write history on a daily basis.
"A good name is more desirable than great riches "(Prov. 22:7). It takes you a long time to create a good name but a short time to destroy it. "A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge but the simple keeps going and suffer for it" (Prov. 22:3). Many people do not know the danger we are facing today because we have not carefully followed God's teaching and instructions.
God's timing and season: God has created a time for everything: and what we believe in and what we do daily is what we shall leave as legacy. There is time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven (Ecc. 3:1-8).
Your legacy should be constructed on God's timing and season. Christians are not observing season!
God has made everything beautiful in its time (Eccl. 3:11). He has also set eternity in the hearts of men. God placed within a human heart (in your sub- conscious mind) an inherent desire for more than just the earthly. Human Beings want to live forever and find eternal value in the world and the activities of life. Consequently, material things, secular activities and the pleasures of this earth will never fully satisfy.
"Whatever is has already been and what will be has been before: and God will call the past to account" (Eccl. 3:15). Your life's past is the legacy.
When Jesus was about to go to heaven, he passed over the responsibility of teaching and giving instructions to Peter (John 21:15-17). In this beach scene, Jesus led Peter through an experience that would remove the cloud of his denial. Peter had disowned Jesus three times. Three times Jesus asked Peter if he loved him. When Peter answered yes, Jesus told him 1, 2 and 3-time to "Feed his lambs", Take care of his sheep", and "Feed his lamb" respectively.
Our relationship with God is like a marriage relationship. Two people are practically involved in the marriage encounter- the husband and wife. They must agree, come together, trust each other, and eat together. Live together, and do everything together. The bride is the Church and the bridegroom is God himself. What is your relationship with Yahweh? We are not looking for him, He is looking for us!!! He is love. He has prepared a wedding feast and the church is the bride. "Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready" (Revel 19:6-9). Are you ready?

The aim of this study was to develop a reliable and viable scale to determine secondary school students' attitudes towards outdoor games. During development process, firstly, relevant area was scanned and key expressions that would prepare theoretical ground were determined. Based on these key expressions, 11 open-ended questions were prepared and applied to a group of 80 students. In line with data obtained, a 5-point Likert type scale pre-trial form consisting of 64 items was created. The pre-trial form was applied to a total of 254 secondary school students in Afyonkarahisar and Uşak. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used for factor structure. According to analyzes, The Secondary School Students' Outdoor Games Attitude Scale consists of 3 sub-dimensions and 29 items. It was seen that factor loads of items were between .776 and .510. It was determined as 54% of variance value for whole scale. CFA result were calculated as χ²=851, RMSEA=0.0709; SRMR=0.0509; CFI=0.881 and TLI=0.871. Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was calculated as .95. In addition, test-retest application was carried out with 30 participants. There was a 30-day time difference between the first and second applications. Correlation coefficients between factors was found to be significant. According to the analyzes performed, validity and reliability of scale were ensured. The scale was named as "The Secondary School Students' Attitude Scale towards Outdoor Games".

This essay addresses two popular worries about morality in an atheistic context. The first is a psychological or sociological one: the worry that unbelief makes one more disposed to act immorally than one would be if one had theistic beliefs (of a certain sort) and, consequently, widespread atheism produces societal dysfunction. This essay argues that the relationship between atheism and human moral beliefs and behaviour is complex, and that highly secularized societies can also be deeply moral societies. The second worry is philosophical in nature: the worry that if there is no God or gods, then there are also no objective moral truths or facts. This essay make the case that the question of whether there are objective moral truths is independent of the existence or nonexistence of God. In the final section, the essay discusses the nature and possible grounds of objective morality in an atheistic context.

Beretta 9mm. The 6 Best 9mm Beretta Pistols. [2022]
Beretta 9mm. Which of the Beretta Pistols is best for Concealed Carry?
Beretta is one of the biggest brands of pistols, but which are the best Beretta 9mm guns to get for the neophyte? After all, you have to get your toe in the water somewhere.
Just like asking which is the best Smith and Wesson revolver or the best Glock 9mm, it's less the case as there's a best one but rather a best one for a specific purpose. A gun is a tool, and there is a right tool for a specific task.
What are they, though? Let's have a look at 6 Beretta pistols.
Beretta PX4 Storm Compact: A DA Beretta 9mm Perfect For Concealed Carry
The Beretta PX4 Storm Compact is quite possibly the best of all possible worlds. It combines old-school hardware and wholly modern design features.
The PX4 Storm platform is a modernised DA/SA pistol, with a polymer frame to reduce carry weight and a smooth slide for easy draw. It comes in Full Size, Compact and Subcompact frames, though the Compact is arguably the most popular model. The operating system is much like the venerable 92, with slide-mounted decocking safety levers.
The party pieces are the rotating barrel and the polymer frame, which also includes swappable backstraps. While not the lightest at 27 ounces unloaded, it's much smaller than many other DA/SA pistols, with a 3.27-inch barrel and overall dimensions of 6.8 inches long, 5 inches tall and 1.42 inches wide. There's even a rail for a laser or light. The DA trigger is smooth, pulling steady to the back without stacking, which makes DA operation much easier. It's one of the better DA triggers for the price point.
It holds 15+1 of 9mm, meaning you get the same capacity and manual of arms of the classic 92FS in a pistol you could actually carry everyday. Arguably, that makes it the best Beretta 9mm of them all.
9mm Beretta 92/Beretta M9: The Original
Then again, the classics are classics for a reason and the Beretta 92 and/or Beretta M9 is exactly that. It is one of the most successful pistol designs of all time. They are laser accurate, easy on the shooter and - with a bit of care - are iron-clad when it comes to reliability.
The 92 is a DA/SA pistol, with slide-mounted decocking safety levers. It carries 15+1 rounds, and though it wasn't the first Wonder Nine (that would be the Browning Hi Power, or arguably the Smith and Wesson Model 59) it is certainly the most famous.
It is a beast, however. Barrel length is 4.9 inches, and overall dimensions are 5.4 inches tall by 8.5 long by 1.5 inches wide. It weighs 33 ounces unloaded, so it isn't really the best CCW gun...but there are folks who do conceal it on the daily.
The Beretta 92FS was adopted by the US military (and other militaries) and dubbed the M9 in their nomenclature. It has served well in that role. The 92FS is also one of the most popular service pistols for police officers. It isn't the easiest gun to carry, but you'll know why it's so popular.
Beretta APX: The Modern Beretta 9mm
The Beretta APX was the proverbial hat that Beretta threw in the ring for the XM17 handgun trials, as the US military was seeking a new handgun. They picked the Sig P320 (aka Sig M17) but Beretta is selling it anyhow.
While known for double action autos, the APX is a polymer-framed striker-fired handgun. In essence, an Italian Glock. However, in typical Italian fashion, it has panache.
Per Army specifications, it has modular backstraps so you can alter the grip, along with ambidextrous slide release levers and a switchable magazine release. The grip housing has understated finger grooves for comfort and a good shooting grip. The slide is machined to be uber-grippy, so you can run the gun in any conditions.
You can order the base gun, or get one of the tactical models as extended barrels and red dot optics are available with this platform. It makes a great tactical pistol, for those wanting one. A compact version - the APX Centurion - is now available too. A Carry model, a slim single-stack subcompact, is also available.
The party piece on the APX is the ergonomics, as it is incredibly comfortable to hold. The full-size model has a generous backstrap for a high, right grip. The trigger is not exactly custom 1911 grade, but is very decent among the polymer striker gun segment.
Overall dimensions are 7.55 inches long, 5.6 inches tall and 1.3 inches wide, with a 4.25-inch barrel, so it's a service gun through-and-through. Unloaded weight is 28.24 ounces, and carrying capacity is 17+1 of 9mm. If you prefer a big plastic fantastic, this is Beretta's take on the format. Most reviews indicate it's one you shouldn't miss.
Beretta APX Carry: A Beretta 9mm Subcompact Single Stack
The Beretta APX Carry is a single-stack subcompact, perfect for easy concealed carry. The APX Carry is to the APX line as the Smith and Wesson Shield is to the M&P series by that brand; a tiny, single-stack variant of their striker firing system.
The APX Carry holds 6+1 of 9mm with the flush fit or pinkie extension magazine, or 8+1 with the extended magazine. It's slim, at less than 1 inch wide, and quite compact with a 3-inch barrel. Weight is just under 20 ounces unloaded. As a result, it's easily concealed and barely noticeable to carry.
And with an MSRP of about $350, it's definitely a Beretta that's worth eyeing for CCW purposes.
Beretta PX4 Storm: Big Beretta 9mm For The Digital Age
Everything good about the PX4 Storm Compact in a full-size package, making it even more accurate, even more shootable, which has actually made the PX4 Storm a popular service pistol. While it wouldn't make the best daily carry gun due to sheer size it actually isn't a bad choice if one carries a full-size as their daily carry gun.
The barrel length is 4 inches, and the magazine capacity is increased to 17+1 of 9mm. That brings overall dimensions to 5.51 inches tall, 7.68 inches long and 1.42 inches wide. Weight is 27.7 ounces unloaded. Not tiny, for sure, but not desperately impractical for carrying.
Beretta 92X Compact: A Big Beretta Pistol That Conceals More Easily
New for 2020 is a fresh take on the Beretta 92, the 92X series, and the concealed carry-friendly version is the Beretta 92X Compact, which is essentially the CCO model of this product line. It has the Centurion slide and 4.25-inch barrel, and capacity is 13+1 of 9mm, though aftermarket magazines will hold 15+1.
The 92X series incorporates a number of improvements to the Beretta M9/92 to make the gun better in a number of regards. The classic slide is ditched in lieu of the Vertec slide, with dovetailed front and rear sights. The front sight has a high-visibility orange insert, for fast sight acquisition. The grip housing is also shaved for a straight grip, much like the M9A3. This reduces the trigger reach, and makes the pistol a lot easier to shoot really well.
The 92X Compact has a slightly reduced beavertail and a slight radius to the grip housing for easier concealment without printing, and can be ordered with or without a Picatinny rail for mounting accessories. You can choose either the FS model or a G model, if you prefer a decocker rather than the decocking safety. This is definitely the EDC model, though Centurion and Full Size 92X pistols are available too.

Beretta APX Centurion Review by Alien Gear Holsters
Beretta PX4 Storm Review by Alien Gear Holsters
Evandro Ponce Munhoz
No. The PX4 Storm Compact is a Beretta PX4 Compact. I had two of those, one in 2008 and another in 2016. An amazing gun with no recoil and very precise.
Could it be the PX4 Storm pictured is a Springfield? Or does beretta also have grip zone?
The first picture shown under " Beretta PX4 Storm Compact: " heading is not a Beretta at all, it is a Springfield XD mod 2 (Grip Zone).
Troy Kelso
The weapon pictured as the Beretta PX4 Storm Compact is not a Beretta, it's a Springfield XD Mod.2 sub-compact.

I want to buy a Beretta M9A1 and how can we do that underground level?

Charl
no better and relaiable 9mm handgun than the beretta92model lot of shooting competision won i believe in my model 92
The section for the M9A1 is using a picture of the 92A1. The M9A1 only has a single slot on its Picatinny rail and uses the squared trigger round, not the round one.
Edenfantasys
Most days that I was carrying using the Alien Gear Cloak Mod OWB holster with my Springfield Armory 911 it was for a period of 12-14 hours. At no time did I feel like I was weighted down or that the holster rubbed uncomfortably against my body. For long, extended-use days this holster was comfortable enough to go all day long.

The Bahlsen story
Our baked goods stand for enjoyment and love of live. For generations - more than 130 years now - the sweet pleasure of biscuits has been associated with the Bahlsen name. The unmistakable taste, the consistently high quality and trust in the product have made Bahlsen what it is today: a successful and modern family company. The company owes this strong position to a history going back more than 130 years.
Company's foundation
The company was founded on 1 July as Hermann Bahlsen (1859-1919) takes over the Fabrikgeschäft engl. Cakes und Biscuits" company on Friesenstrasse in Hannover from H. Schmuckler and renames it "Hannoversche Cakesfabrik H. Bahlsen".
First Assembly Line in Europe
Besides the first punch card, Bahlsen introduces Europe's first assembly line, eight years before Henry Ford adopts it in the automotive industry.
High Quality Standards
In order to ensure high quality standards Bahlsen institutes physical and chemical laboratories. Furthermore, Bahlsen receives an export license. The first foreign shipment goes to Switzerland.
Export to USA
Under the direction of Werner Bahlsen the company starts exporting products to the USA.
Bahlsen becomes International
Foundation of the first Bahlsen sales companies in France and Italy. Austria and other countries follow.
The Third Generation: Werner M. Bahlsen joins
Werner M. Bahlsen, Werner Bahlsen's youngest son, joins the company. His brother Lorenz Bahlsen already joined in 1973.
New Brand Strategy
Bahlsen introdes its new brand strategy: Two umbrella brands - BAHLSEN and LEIBNIZ - now represent the company throughout the world.
Plant in Barsinghausen wins "Factory of the Year"
After wide-ranging modernisation work, the Barsinghausen plant is awarded the "Factory of the Year" prize. The "Factory of the Year" is an annual benchmarking event known as the toughest benchmarking test for manufacturing companies throughout Europe.
Celebrating of the company's 125th birthday
On 1 July 2014 Bahlsen turns 125 years old. In October 2014, the anniversary is celebrated officially. For the first time in the history of the company, all 2,500 employees from around the world are invited to Hannover.
130 years of LEIBNIZ butter biscuits
Leibniz butter biscuits celebrates its 130th anniversary - one of the world's oldest branded products.
Our Craft
What happens when you combine more than 130 years of baking experience with selected ingredients? To find out, you only have to try one of our fine products. Whether it's biscuits, waffles or puff pastries – our passion is baked into every single one.
We bake with love and with carefully selected ingredients of the very highest quality such as fine cocoa and sun-ripened hazelnuts.
We exclusively use sustainably-produced palm oil for the manufacture of our products. As a member of the forum for sustainable palm oil RSPO we also advocate moving towards more ecological and social sustainability.
Our hazelnuts grow in perfect climate conditions which helps them to develop an unmistakably intensive aroma.
Our cocoa ensures the finest dark chocolate taste and represents sustainable UTZ-certified cultivation.
NO ADDED
Hardened fats, Animal products, except: Milk, dairy products, eggs, egg products, honey and Preservatives or colors.
Bahlsen cares for and supports sustainable cocoa cultivation.
Bahlsen products are perfect for all those who are curious, open-minded, adventurous, and who enjoy life. As well as crunchy cookies, delicious chocolate is also an important part of our product range. As the leading manufacturer in the European baked confectionery industry, Bahlsen has a responsibility to both society and the environment.
Cocoa In one of the Mayan languages the word "UTZ" means "good".
UTZ Certified is a program and a quality seal for the sustainable cultivation of coffee, cocoa and tea. Sustainable agriculture supports farmers, workers and their families in reaching their objectives and at the same time contributes to the protection of our natural resources – now and in the future.
For the cultivation of sustainable, certified cocoa, the cocoa farmers are trained by UTZ Certified in the areas of business administration, social working conditions and environmental management. This then helps them to work more successfully, attain higher yields, and increase the standard of living for the whole family.
Increased sustainability in the cocoa industry is very important to Bahlsen.
For years, Bahlsen has made regular visits to cocoa-growing areas in West Africa. This has allowed us to establish relations with cooperatives, and to find out more about the farmers' situation and their problems over time. We intend to continue to intensify this exchange. In 2011, our respective activities led to cooperation with a cooperative on the Ivory Coast. The members of this cooperative enjoy direct financial support from Bahlsen. In this way, we have been able to contribute to the financing of two lorries to make it possible to transport the cocoa from the plantations to a central collection point. In addition, we help local farmers to obtain UTZ-accreditation by way of start-up loans. We are also committed founding members of the "Sustainable Cocoa Forum".
STAY INSPIRED.

Diablo 2: Resurrected and Diablo Immortal Set to Release This Year
Diablo Опубликовано 05.05.2021 в 11:00 Archimtiros
Both Diablo II: Resurrected and Diablo Immortal are set to release sometime this year, according to slides and comments from Activision Blizzard's first-quarter financial results conference call. While no official dates have been given just yet, both games have received extremely positive feedback, with Resurrected celebrating the highest ever online viewership for a Blizzard game test during last month's alpha testing.
It's unclear exactly what metric the claim of highest ever online viewership is based on, though it is undeniable that Diablo 2: Resurrected was extremely well received during its four day technical alpha. According to TwitchTracker, Diablo II reached nearly 403 thousand viewers in April, while Shadowlands peaked at only 244 thousand at the start of its beta period in July. While this certainly isn't the only viewership metric, with some WoW Classic test videos reaching hundreds of thousands of views on Youtube, it goes to show how much attention the Diablo II remaster gathered in just a few short days.
Diablo II Resurrected (left) against Shadowlands (right)
Diablo Immortal has also been getting high praise for its graphics and systems design, as well as a lack of predatory pay-to-win microtransactions within the free game, an all too common concern with mobile gaming. It begin the second phase of alpha testing two weeks ago, enabling PvP and end-game systems, although it has been restricted to Android users in Australia, so it's likely we'll see another larger open beta test at some point before release. An offhand comment during the Q&A portion of the conference call mentioned another round of testing in May, as well as the games releasing in the second half of this year, although no formal announcements for either have been made.

Q: Using Python to Access Web Data with Regular Expression is not working I am doing Python for everybody's Course on Coursera so I just learned how to access the file from the Web with Python.

See the regex demo.
Details

*

*(?m)^ - start of a line

*From:  - a literal string

*\s* - 0+ whitespaces

*(\S+@\S+) - Capturing group 1 (the output of re.findall will only contain this value): one or more non-whitespace chars, @ and one or more non-whitespace chars.

A: Well, I found the better way of what I am doing here.
I can do this easily and more efficiently by using the urllib.request library.

Jo Swinson responds to "very fake news" story which said she fired stones at squirrels
Jo Swinson warned the public to be wary of obviously fake news impacting the General Election after a story about how she fired stones at squirrels went viral.
Tweets purporting to show a story from the Mirror's website received thousands of retweets last week, with the headline: "Jo Swinson blasted by animal rights charities after "harrowing" footage found on private Facebook".
Labelling it as "very fake news", the Lib Dem leader warned that these stories on social media could have a major impact on 12th December.

— e. r. dewo (@groovyguyzone) November 2, 2019
Speaking to Iain Dale, she said: "This sort of fake news is surprising to me. This isn't the only one of the very fake news stories.
"There was one using the byline of an established journalist. There was one that used Peter Walker's name from the Guardian and he had to go online to debunk it and say he never wrote it.
"They're quite sophisticated and people do believe them.
Jo Swinson responded to the viral squirrel story. Picture: PA / LBC
"I do think it's worrying because it echoes what we've seen in other elections and particularly when you think about fake news and the technological possibility for deepfakes where videos can be faked, then there are questions about the role of publishers in circulating these things that aren't true.
"It's very difficult to prevent its spread."
Iain Dale proved her point by bringing up a tweet that he had shared, claiming that Chuka Umunna said he would never join the Liberal Democrats, only a couple of years before joining the Liberal Democrats.
