The Commander-in-Chief
The Department of Justice has released a new (longer) rationalization for the President's decision to ignore the warrant requirements of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), and it's simply more of the same old "inherent power of the President" song. But what about the explicit powers of Congress?
The Constitution makes the President the "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States." (Article II, Section 2) The Constitution also says that the President "shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties..." (Also Article II, Section 2) From those two provisions come the general idea that the President is responsible for foreign relations, and the defense of the country, and has the inherent power to carry out those duties. Which, as a general proposition, makes sense.
But what about the powers of Congress? Even the power to make treaties requires the "Advice and Consent of the Senate," so Congress has a role in foreign affairs. More importantly, Article I, Section 8, clause 14, states that Congress shall have power "To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces."
In FISA, Congress expressed it's power by declaring that officers of the United States government shall not eavesdrop on the people of the United States except when certain procedures are followed. And FISA expressly recognizes the changed conditions that would apply in time of war, providing that the normal rules for search warrants would be suspended following a declaration of war, but only for 15 days. (See 50 USC section 1811) The President does not even seem to pretend that FISA does not apply, or that he is not in violation of FISA, but is arguing that he does not need to comply.
If the President were taking extraordinary actions in response to an extraordinary crisis, such as the 9/11 attacks themselves, or Hurricane Katrina, or an outbreak of avian flu, then a great deal of latitude would be allowed, because one of the roles of the executive is to be able to act quickly, without the need for legislative deliberation. But it's been more than four years since the 9/11 attacks, and the President has had more than four years to consider the procedures required by FISA and, if they were no longer appropriate, he could have asked Congress to change them. In fact, Congress did amend FISA after 9/11 to improve surveillance procedures against suspected terrorists. But the President chose to ignore FISA rather than ask Congress to change the law.
This issue might be resolved by the courts, but it's not likely, for the simple reason that it will be difficult for any particular person to show that they were harmed by the President's failure to comply with FISA. Which may mean that it is up to Congress.
If the President is willfully disobeying a Congressional directive, Congress has a remedy, and that remedy is impeachment. If the President's illegal surveillance were a single instance of willful disobedience of the law, that would be a rather extreme step. But the President has shown a repeated inclination to ignore laws that he doesn't like. He has allowed the physical abuse, if not torture, of prisoners in US custody, contrary to the laws and treaties of the U.S. He has held American citizens in custody without trial, contrary to the Constitution. He has held foreign citizens in custody without allowing them any hearing to determine their status, contrary to the Geneva Conventions ratified by the U.S. Senate. And he has allowed the seizure and transportion of persons for interrogation (and possible torture) in foreign countries (the so-called "extraordinary renditions"), contrary to U.S. and international law.
Impeaching the President does not yet seem to be the "politically correct" thing to do. But eventually Congress will need to decide which is more important, the rule of law or politics.

On the first Saturday of the month we run RockSchool, where you can come along to learn how to abseil and climb.
We try to plan our trips around the 3rd (third) weekend of the month where possible, with hopefully at least a month's notice of the activity planned.
As we get nearer to canyon season, the planning time is reduced to maybe just a few days.
On our caving or canyoning weekends we would normally bush camp. If caving and canyoning is not your scene, you are most welcome to join us and just veg out and do your own thing.
Keep an eye on our calendar, to see our upcoming activities.


American beachgrass is much more than an ornamental grass, though it can be used as such. It also serves a practical purpose on many beaches and sandy areas, helping to promote sand-dune stabilization and prevent erosion. Thus, this grass is an important part of the American landscape. Those who wish to grow American beachgrass should keep in mind a few important things relating to its planting and general care. Doing so will ensure the best chances of success with the species.
Determine if American beachgrass is appropriate for your area. The grass is native in regions from North Carolina to Maine and around the Great Lakes region of the United States. If you live in or near these areas, the grass should do very well. It may also do well in places with climates similar to these.
Wait until the most appropriate time. The best time to plant American beachgrass is when it is cool. Therefore, between the middle of October and the end of March is when it should be done in most of the country. If you live in a particularly cold environment, you may be able to go as late as the end of April and still see good results.
Acquire the grass. Unlike many forms of grass that grow from seed, American beachgrass is best grown by getting stems that are already established. Nurseries in native regions often carry the plant. These are usually approximately 8 to 10 inches long and should be planted 7 to 9 inches in the ground. This helps the grass avoid getting dried out or being blown away while it is getting established.
Plant the grass in rows with stems approximately 18 inches from each other in all four directions. For the best erosion control possible, it is recommended that you stagger the rows so that there is less chance for sand to get through without being caught. This is, obviously, not a requirement if the only purpose the beachgrass has is ornamental.
Fertilize and water the grass as needed. As with most types of grass, fertilizer for American beachgrass should have a nitrogen base. The best time to apply the fertilizer is in the spring, early summer and late summer. Fertilizer should first be applied 30 days after the initial planting, but you should at least wait until April 1 before doing so. After the initial planting, the need for watering and fertilizer will not be as great.
If you are interested in aesthetics, the stems can be planted closer together, leaving as little as 10 inches between plantings.

Highlights from PHD Worldwide's recent Reboot seminar by Redbrick author, Will Edmondson
This article was first published on Redbrick
PHD Worldwide's recent Reboot seminar in London hosted by Mark Holden, PHD Worldwide strategy and planning director, and futurist and techno-philosopher, Jason Silva
The futurologist, cinematographer and 'awe junkie', famous for hosting National Geographic's Brain Games and authoring a string of Internet delivered philosophical monologues, was chosen by PHD to 'stretch the minds' of the media attendees.
The intention of Jason's talk was to raise awareness of a currently shifting paradigm; one in which the world is on a course for a new dawn in technological immersion, dubbed by some as 'The Singularity'. The talk explored the ways in which we currently experience the digital environment are rapidly evolving.
So is new development in thinking required to prepare for changes of this scale? The host, PHD's worldwide strategy and planning director Mark Holden, who developed the global series of conferences, certainly believes so. From the seminar it was clear that Mark is passionate about a new technological age. He referenced a time, not too far in the future, when humans will be sufficiently advanced to store their brain on a version of iCloud. At this point, it became clear that a scientific presence was no longer unwelcome at this media conference.
Mark Holden, who scouted Jason to talk at PHD seminars, introduced him by declaring his hope to 'reboot' the audience's 'intuitive sense of tomorrow'.
Without alluding to any current corporate practical advice, Jason immediately addressed the future. He showed videos from his YouTube archive delivering the idea that the consumer population is already 'transhuman' when he or she is holding a smart phone or tablet, and that this advancement is only in its adolescence.
To illustrate that our lives have changed as a result of currently existing technology, a three-minute film was shown reflecting on how time-lining social media applications, namely Instagram, have changed the way in which we keep a mental diary of our own experiences. By blurring the background and enriching the colour scheme, Jason says we are preparing memories through filters which were not accessible before. This is the idea of a Nobel Prize winning psychologist and with no direct link of its impact on media strategy being drawn during the body of his speech it was hard to see its relevance.
Touché! wins Gold at WARC Media Awards for Best Use of Data


Lansing- Ron Bieber, President of the MI AFL-CIO released the following statement in regards to the labor federation's endorsement of Lavora Barnes to be the next Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party.
Lansing – Ron Bieber, President of the Michigan AFL-CIO released the following statement after passage of anti-education HB 5526, A-F School Grading Scale, passed the State House in a late-night session.
Lansing – The Michigan AFL-CIO today celebrated a significant increase in labor-endorsed candidates elected to office in Tuesday's election, and declared a clear mandate for a pro-labor agenda in the coming legislative year.
Michigan AFL-CIO endorsed candidates swept all state-wide partisan races and upset incumbents at both the legislative and congressional levels. The wins include 207 labor-endorsed candidates, including 77 candidates who are union members or come from union households.
The Michigan AFL-CIO operated an aggressive campaign operation across Michigan that knocked on doors, made phone calls, talked to members at worksites, and mounted robust digital and mail programs. The effort knocked on over 250,000 doors, delivered over 6.5 million digital impressions, and sent over 1,750,000 pieces of mail.
The Michigan AFL-CIO, Michigan's largest labor organization, is a federation representing forty different labor organizations, eighteen different central labor councils, and eight constituency groups representing over 1 million union members and their families.
LANSING – State Representative Brandt Iden (R – Oshtemo Township) received a score of just 13% percent in a new legislative scorecard released yesterday by the Michigan AFL-CIO. State Senator Margaret O'Brien (R -Portage) faired only slightly better with a 50% score. The state labor federation analyzed the voting records of all State Representatives on 8 key votes and all State Senators on 6 votes during the 2017-18 legislative session. A copy of the scorecard is available online.
O'Brien and Iden both voted to repeal prevailing wage which will cut paychecks across the state and open critical infrastructure projects to low-skilled workers. Both lawmakers also voted in support HB 5141 which allows uncertified teachers to teach certain career and technology programs. Additionally, Iden voted for SB 574 which allowed for-profit charter and cyber schools to receive funding from local millages meant for improving public schools.

Best Movie Italia: Skarsgard is Elegant in Sweltering Heat During a Legend of Tarzan Set Visit
March 22, 2016 March 26, 2016 Michael Sellers Legend of Tarzan (Movie)
Best Movie Italia has a nice article on Legend of Tarzan that includes at least one very nice new image — see above. Also some interesting notes about a set visit in September.
And it is in Victorian England that the story is set during our visit in September at Leavesden Studios in London: it is an afternoon in September of 2014, the extras are already in place and resist despite the sweltering heat. Some are standing, others sitting on carriages of military green and omnibuses drawn by pairs of horses. The details are impeccable, so much so that on each side of the cars you read the names of the stops: Piccadilly, Holborn, Bank, Maryland Road and so on. When the director will give the clapper will cross a long driveway, perfect reconstruction of Downing Street (at number 10 which is the seat of the Prime Minister), to give the impression of a busy street. At the end of the trail, where sometimes a crew member goes to water with a hose, there are two large green sheets held up by two cranes, needed to re-create the rest of the city with special effects. It is a scene that is half an hour into the film, when Lord Greystoke went to talk to the Prime Minister to confirm his return to Congo.
An elegant Skarsgard arrives, white shirt and red vest and black in a long gray coat, blacks and shiny shoes pants, he repeats his lines while someone adjusts her makeup and combing her long blond hair with the help of a bit 'of lacquer. A few meters away from him is Samuel L. Jackson, who plays George Washington Williams. He will convince the star to return to Africa.

"We are extremely delighted to have achieved this award as it demonstrates the high quality service we aim to provide at SAVS.

Tesla Autopark reliability questioned by Model S owner after bumper scrape
By Steve Hanley
Philippe Marseille may not be trusting his Tesla's Autopark feature anymore after the system guided his Model S into the rear bumper of a GMC pickup truck while attempting to parallel park. According to Marseille via his post on Reddit, "I initiated auto-park (parallel park), on the left of a one-way street. Car started the maneuver then hit the front bumper on the corner of the plastic part of the truck's bumper. Met the truck owner a few minutes later, he basically had no damages – I scraped on the black plastic part of his bumper… did not hit any chrome. We exchanged contact info and he felt sorry for me…"
Unlike some drivers who have had issues with Autopilot lately — like the driver in Texas who admits he was busy cleaning the dashboard of his car when his Model S missed a curve and crashed into a guardrail — Marseille was paying close attention during the Autopark maneuver. He noticed the situation getting out of hand and attempted to bring the car to a halt, but it was too late. The damage was already done.
Did this happen because the truck's rear bumper was too high off the ground and the ultrasonic sensors were unable to detect it? We can see through the photo that the damage took place a few inches above the ultrasonic sensors which could explain the reason why the vehicle failed to detect the truck's bumper.
Ever since Joshua Brown was killed in a collision with a tractor trailer on a Florida highway, there have been questions about the ability of Tesla's Autopilot system to reliably detect objects, especially that of humans. However, Tesla is said to be on the verge of introducing hardware updates for its next-generation Autopilot 2.0 suite of features. Just don't expect a complex and expensive LIDAR system to be a part of it.
Several people responding to Mr. Marseille's plight wondered whether Tesla would step up to the plate to cover the repairs to his car, considering he appears to have done nothing wrong and the car's Autopark feature failed to recognize a fairly large object in the path of its self parking trajectory.

For some reason, the past 24 hours has me channeling my inner Arte Johnson.
Anyway, here's an interesting little tidbit. It may be that the PR gaffe occasioned by PZ and his pals in Minnesota has already had some unintended consequences.
But it was all for naught, I'm afraid. I've just received an email notifying me that the Santa Clara showing of "Expelled" has been canceled "due to technical issues". A quick peek at the Expelled RSVP site shows that Santa Clara has been removed from the list of screenings.
Well, that intrigued me no end, so I compared the current (as of 12:15 AM PST) 'Expelled' RSVP site with Google's cache of said site taken on March 16th.
There are significant differences. Not only is the Santa Clara showing absent, but 'pending' screenings for Portland, OR and Seattle, WA are nowhere to be seen, either. Makes you wonder.
Since I posted this a few days back, this has become the all-time most viewed post in my blog's modest history. There has also been a more radical reworking of the Expelled RSVP site. Whereas earlier a few screens were absent, pretty much all of the previous screenings have been cancelled. Seems that the producers have problems attending those screenings. Or something.
Huh. I didn't think of a cache comparison.
Could they not withstand the heat?
Thank you Scott! I had added this to my repository of links.
I think that they got a threatening letter from Harvard as soon as word leaked out that they had used a clip from "Life of a Cell."
I could be wrong but that's the only explanation that really makes sense to me.
Fascinating. Being a researcher into wingnuttery (that must mean I have a cast iron stomach) I've ended ended up on a number of xitan marketing lists. I received an e-mail from Motive Entertainment on Friday afternoon - "03/21/2008 3:34 PM" Eastern time announcing one of the upcoming screenings. The RSVP page was still active then with future showings listed.
Whatever caused them to change their plans must have occurred late Friday. So far, no e-mail has arrived rescinding the invitation.
;) I actually took screen shots of some of the RSVP pages.... I kinda figured this would happen.
They also cancelled the showing that I had signed-up to attend in Livonia, Michigan! It looks like they've cancelled all the upcoming showings. The only ones that are left are ones that have already happened.
Oh, goodness. Could we be treated to a total meltdown of the film under copyright actions? Another "own goal" by the creobots and Ben Stein (who should know better)?
Slow-motion train wreck, not unlike the SCO debacle. I'll make popcorn for anyone who wants to watch with me!
It looks like PZ and Abbie have rung in with an update on the Expelled animation. It turns out that it's a clever clone of the Harvard animation, which I'm pretty sure is still a copyright violation. However, now I must look more seriously at the competing hypotheses for why the showings have been pulled.
A) The financial backers got spooked at the bad publicity surrounding the "expelled from Expelled."
This is plausible because after all, the DI did pull Dembski and others from the witness list at the Dover trial once they read the writing on the wall. However, I still think that they're too arrogant to think that this will affect them too much.
B) Mathis didn't want a repeat of the embarrassment, so all future showings will be invite only.
While it might seem that there's an easier way to do this than to cancel all the shows, cancellation is certainly the quickest and most reliable. So until I hear more about the whole Harvard animation situation, I think this will be my pet theory.
They probably had to cancel because people signed up "PZ Myers" up for every event and they couldn't afford enough rent-a-cops and PR flacks to be ready to toss him out at every event.
I think someone should check directly with the theaters involved to see if the showings have actually been canceled. I suspect it's more likely that they've been switched to invitation only.
Even so, such a defensive stance just demonstrates again that Mathis et al. are afraid of *any* informed criticism of their film.
I am going to check with the Livonia theater to see if they are still playing the film. I already reserved a ticket, and they have not rescinded the invitation yet. I have a feeling it will be cancelled by Wednesday though.
Hey, all you people, thanks for stopping by. Your thoughts are most appreciated! Let me and the rest of the net know whatever you find!
The Expelled marketing folks emailed me today regarding the forthcoming private screenings. Seems they have had to be rescheduled "due to unavoidable changes in the travel plans of the producers." They promise to notify those who RSVP'd the new show dates.
wheatdogg, thanks a bunch for that update!

Why is it called Un Petit Monde?
Kurt has had these miniature toy figures in one form or another since he was a young child. Instead of using the figures for his model railroading set (for which they were intended), He dreamed up scenarios out in his backyard. As an adult, Kurt's inspiration comes from our travels, current and past experiences and how he see the world. Also, Kurt really enjoys macro photography so the combination is a natural fit!
How small are the figures?
The figures are less than 1 inch or 2cm in height. In the hobby world, they are considered HO scale or 1:87.
Yes. Kurt uses a a fisheye lens and shallow depth of field when shooting the scenes. First, the lens is super wide angle and captures more of the surrounding environment. Second, shooting with a shallow depth of field produces the out-of-focus, "dreamy" backgrounds. Shooting this way can make the backgrounds appear fake or digitally modified, but they are not.
Do you make the little people?
No. We purchase the miniatures from local hobby shops and often buy the figures from people on eBay. However, Kurt will create a lot of the props by hand and manipulate (glue and paint) the figures when necessary.
Kurt shoots and processes the photos, conceives of the scenes and creates the props. Edwige coordinates the day-to-day tasks such as researching locations, ordering materials, coordinating our travels and photographs the "making of" Un Petit Monde.
Yes, we have accepted commissions involving the miniatures. We are committed to producing fine art photography and will consider commercial inquiries.
Do you have a book of your work?
Yes! We are sold out of our self-published limited edition book (edition of 500). but we do have a children's book which you can find here.


I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the military families for the many sacrifices they make, and, while working with those most affected, the children, I felt compelled to do something for them. Around that time, I had the honor and the immense pleasure to manage the creation of a wonderful work of art created by the children at L'école Arc-en-ciel. While working with them, I have made several new friends and this made me realize that some of them may have to live through some difficult times on account of their parents' courageous career choices. The thought of the military missions abroad suddenly overwhelmed me with emotions. At that point, I asked myself "What could I do to enhance the lives of these families?" Shortly after that, I contacted Isabelle Leblanc-B., the community development agent at l'école Arc-en-ciel, to share with her my idea; to create a collective work of art which would include the participation of the Gagetown military community. She found the idea terrific and quickly made the contacts and took the necessary steps to ensure that the idea would become reality. It was with great pleasure and honor that I created with you this magnificent work of art. My goal is that it may bring you moments of joy… especially during difficult times.

I put petroleum jelly on the pole holding up the bird feeder so the squirrels couldn't get back up there. It only took them about a week to figure out they could climb up and not have to wait for a bird to toss out all the "unpopular" birdseed until they found what they wanted. A few weeks ago, I saw a squirrel look at me (I was behind the sunroom window watching the birds and squirrels) and then jump up on the pole and – still watching me – slide down. Then I noticed the feeder was empty. A small group of Starlings (about 10 to 12) had emptied the feeder, and cleaned up all the stray seeds that had been tossed to the ground, in about 2 or 3 hours. "Squirrelly" watched from about 15 feet away while I refilled the feeder. I put some of the "cheep seed" in 3 small piles on the ground near the bottom of the feeder for the squirrels. I have a cardboard divider in the feeder so I can put inexpensive seed in one side and the black oil sunflower seed in the other side. The littlest birds like the cheap stuff and the cardinals like the sunflower seeds.The Starlings must have come back today, because the feeder was about 1/3 to 1/2 filled this morning and it's empty tonight. It's 7:40 pm, eastern, and I'm getting quite a bit of "bird cussing" since the brighter birds like to feed in the twilight so that the hawks can't see them as easily. The last panel reminded me of the squirrel sliding down the bird feeder pole in our own back yard.

Motorola has a brand new approach to smartphones as of late, and that's well-rounded devices that won't hurt the wallet, but still pleases almost any and all users. The Moto G is an impressive smartphone that costs under $200. In fact, for only $179 you'll have a rather awesome smartphone experience here.
The Moto G gets you a 4.5-inch 720p HD display, a quad-core processor for fast gaming and multi-tasking while using Android apps, a decent 5 megapixel camera for photos, and battery life that lasts all day. It runs nearly the latest version of Android, Android 4.4.3, and is expected to get the latest software updates extremely soon.
The Moto G has 8GB of storage and a micro-SD slot, and you can pay more for a 16GB model. The only downside is there's no 4G LTE, but a newer 4G LTE version was announced earlier this year for only $229.


When I was child, my parents could not afford to send me to "extracurricular activities." No piano lessons, ballet, or little league. That's why I remember, like it was emblazoned in gold, the summer that my mother signed me up for two summer classes: calligraphy and theater.
My mother knew the calligraphy teacher, Shelly, who lived down the street, and I'm sure that had something to do with why I ended up in her class that summer, learning to hold a calligraphy pen at a 45° angle. Shelly kept correcting my grip when my i's looked too fat and my a's look deflated. I kept practicing until I mastered the basics—and then I kept going.
This past summer, I had a blast teaching The Ancient Art of Letters at Spark Central, a playshop in which 4th and 5th graders learn calligraphy basics and composed a fictional letter, complete with a wax seal. The kids participating listened eagerly, fascinated—as I had been—at how a special pen and parallel lines could result in something so beautiful. They gathered in a tight circle, wide-eyed, as I carefully dripped burning wax onto their parchments so they could press a quarter into the red glob. Their imaginations were captivated.
At Spark Central, we make a point of offering educational playshops to local youth at no cost. Some have advised us to charge, or to simply offer scholarships. But, in my previous position as a teacher at Mead Alternative High School, I had students who were sleeping in their cars turn down full-ride scholarships for school trips because they didn't want to feel different from the kids sitting next to them. They didn't see themselves as "poor," "homeless," or "needy," and honestly, who wants to? My mother, I know, would have never signed me up for a scholarship or even a partial scholarship. She probably would have turned it down if it was offered. "Those are for poor people," she would have said, and by God, we were not poor.
This summer, Lisa White, Director of After School Programs at Spokane Public Schools told me that on average, parents spend $8,900 per child each year on enrichment activities, compared to families in lowest income quintile, who can only afford to spend about $1,300—that is, if they're lucky (Duncan, G.J. & Murnane, R.J. 2012). That equates to a 6,000-hour learning gap by the time children enter the sixth grade (ExpandED Schools). Think of all that time those lucky kids get to experiment, learn, explore new technology, and nurture their creativity. Now think of the child who doesn't get that opportunity.
This summer, one girl in particular was enthusiastic about calligraphy. She came to Spark Central alone, and fashioned a letter in calligraphy from Dragon Bob, a character she created. After the second workshop session, she hung around and chatted about how she was going to write her grandparents a letter in calligraphy. She asked if we had any books she could practice with, so showed her our copy of Learn Calligraphy.
I checked out the book to her using her membership card, packed her arms with extra parchment and calligraphy pens, and watched her walk out the door and across our front windows, a definite bounce in her step.


As leaders, we never have a shortage of activities. There are always more tasks to complete, more emails to return, and more employee issues to solve. If we're lucky, our team is in one office rather than spread across time zones. Many leaders find themselves up at 3 AM tracking down people across the world. Keeping our heads above water, and our sight-lines focused ahead, takes every bit of time and energy we have. When someone suggests that we take a break we agree, sigh, and put it off for another day. There's simply too much to do.
Most of us know that this kind of pace is unsustainable even while we are giving everything we have to sustain it. As a friend once said to me, the work is infinite but our time is finite. We do eventually reach a point of diminishing returns. In order to stay productive and effective, we need to foster moments of calm.
Mindfulness is a buzz word heard in companies from Google to stodgy law firms. It's an alluring concept as it promises to bring us back to a relaxed state, wherever we find ourselves.
While the term may be trendy, the idea is ancient. Meditation has been used for thousands of years to calm the mind. Now science shows that these moments of contemplation change our brain to reduce stress over the longer term.
Being mindful, then, is slowing down and paying attention in order to refocus our energies and our priorities. If you've ever been around someone who is distracted and scattered, you understand the effect that kind of energy has on the environment. When we sense that someone's energy is unfocused and all-consuming, we distance ourselves in a sort of psychic protection.
So how do you get a calmer mind so you're fortified against overwhelm at work? Try these strategies.
We've heard since we were kids that taking a deep breath helps us to gain composure, and it remains sage advice. When we take deep breaths we reap several benefits: we offer our brains more oxygen, lower our blood pressure and stimulate our parasympathetic nervous systems. It also helps us to refocus our energy and relax.
When you find yourself stressed at work or need to reset, use deep breathing techniques. You can do this wherever you are. If you're in your office, sit up straight with both feet flat on the floor. With your arms out to the sides, breathe in for four counts and then out for four counts. Repeat this a few times until you can feel your energy shift.
Take more frequent short breaks.
Tony Schwartz, President and CEO of The Energy Project, says that taking short, rejuvenating breaks during the workday is crucial to managing our energy levels and ultimately being as efficient as possible. A few minutes of break each hour can actually help us to be more productive overall.
So if you're feeling hungry, get a healthy snack. Feeling fidgety? Go for a brief walk. Even a quick check on social media can help to prepare you for your next task. It's important to listen to your body; it knows when it needs a break.
One reason we can get overwhelmed is because we're stuck in a mental rut: solving the same problems, in the same ways, with the same people. We need new inputs to trigger inspiration. Forward momentum fuels positive emotions, and that may require us to change our surroundings in various ways.
Consider reaching out to new colleagues to have as thought partners. Take a leadership program or engage in a fun outside activity in the evening. Join a professional organization and volunteer to chair a committee. New things encourage growth.
Even small changes of scenery can be uplifting. Get away from the office to work outside or head to a coffee shop to knock out some writing. Do your planning in a sunny conference room instead of behind your desk. Shaking things up can facilitate a more creative headspace.
Exercise has been proven to clear the mind and ease anxiety. Whatever your favorite form of physical activity—walking, running, yoga, cycling—it's important to integrate some kind of motion into your daily life.
Eliminate all-or-nothing-thinking. (I'm looking at you, Type As.) It doesn't have to be CrossFit level to be beneficial! Even a walk at lunchtime energizes us physically and mentally. Adults need recess just like kids do.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, overstressed and overworked, practicing positivity can help to refresh your mind. Studies have shown that focusing on gratitude reduces toxic emotions and stress, increases our sense of wellbeing and happiness, improves our sleep, and fosters a host of other benefits.
This can take many forms. Some people start or end each day with a gratitude. Another tactic is positive framing. When you feel stress or frustration, before reacting, come up with an alternate explanation that focuses on the positive. For example, if you have a challenging employee, you may counter that with the thought that everyone wants to do well at their job. If your company is stalling on promoting you, then you consider that it's giving you an opportunity to learn to advocate for yourself.
It doesn't mean that you have to completely buy into the idea that everything is positive, but rather, that you stay open to other possibilities instead of rehashing the same frustrations. Even being willing to engage in gratitude or positive thinking opens our perspectives. And it sure beats the alternative.

Tip Atalanta - FC Midtjylland
FC Midtjylland make the trip to Bergamo this week for a Group D match in the UEFA Champions League against Atalanta on Tuesday night. The Danish side are bottom of the table and have yet to pick up a point in this UCL campaign. Their hosts, who are third with seven points from four games, are coming off the back of an impressive win away to Liverpool. Winning at Anfield is no mean feat yet Gian Piero Gasperini's players were great value for the success, outplaying the English side. Atalanta are competing with Ajax - who are second and level on points with the Serie A club - for a spot in the Round of 16. This match against the group whipping boys represents an excellent opportunity for Atalanta to leapfrog Ajax in the table ahead of their meeting on the final matchday. The reverse fixture posed no problems for Atalanta, the Italian outfit cutting through their opponents like soft cheese in a 4-0 win. Yet their Serie A form is cause for concern with only one win in their previous six matches. Atalanta, who are usually dependable to score goals, have only managed five across those six fixtures.
Midtjylland have been showing signs of improvement in recent UCL outings, scoring in both of their defeats to Ajax. They followed up the latest loss to Ajax with a limp goalless draw at home to AaB in the Danish Superliga, a result that keeps them top of the table. Midtjylland only have their pride to play for, and that freedom could see them deliver a better performance than their previous effort against Atalanta. Back the home side to win and both teams to score.
Key points Atalanta - FC Midtjylland
Atalanta won the reverse fixture 4-0 on UCL matchday one.
Midtjylland lost their previous four UCL games, conceding two or more goals in each outing.
Atalanta have failed to win five of their last six Serie A games.
Conclusion Atalanta - FC Midtjylland
Atalanta showed their better side in their last UCL outing, and we believe they can carry that momentum into this fixture. Back them to win and both teams to score.

Q: Commutator of the Pauli-Lubanski vector operator and the generator of translations $P^\alpha$ I'm trying to obtain the commutation relation between the Pauli-Lubanski vector operator and the generators of the Lorentz Group:
$$[W^\mu,P_\sigma]=[\frac{1}{2}\epsilon^{\mu\nu\lambda\rho} P_\nu M_\lambda\rho,P_\sigma]\\ \hspace{2.3cm}= \frac{1}{2}\epsilon^{\mu\nu\lambda\rho}[ P_\nu M_{\lambda\rho},P_\sigma]\\ \hspace{3.9cm}=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon^{\mu\nu\lambda\rho}P_\nu[ -\eta_{\lambda\sigma}P_\rho+\eta_{\rho\sigma}P_\lambda]\\ \hspace{5.cm}=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon^{\mu\nu\lambda\rho}\eta_{\rho\sigma}P_\nu P_\lambda-\frac{1}{2}\epsilon^{\mu\nu\lambda\rho}\eta_{\lambda\sigma}P_\nu P_\rho $$
Now, I know a priori that this commutator is zero and I'm trying to change indices accordingly. For instance, in the first term I want to rename the dummy indices $\lambda$ to $\rho$ and vice-versa. This will permute the respective last indices in the Levi-Civita tensor. Since I'm only renaming indices, I assume that I don't have to put a minus sign when doing so:
$$=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon^{\mu\nu\rho\lambda}\eta_{\lambda\sigma}P_\nu P_\rho-\frac{1}{2}\epsilon^{\mu\nu\lambda\rho}\eta_{\lambda\sigma}P_\nu P_\rho$$
But now, to get the same form for the Levi-Civita tensor in both terms I permute the last two indices of that tensor in the first term, taking into account that it is an antisymmetric tensor:
 $$=-\frac{1}{2}\epsilon^{\mu\nu\lambda\rho}\eta_{\lambda\sigma}P_\nu P_\rho-\frac{1}{2}\epsilon^{\mu\nu\lambda\rho}\eta_{\lambda\sigma}P_\nu P_\rho=-\epsilon^{\mu\nu\lambda\rho}\eta_{\lambda\sigma}P_\nu P_\rho$$ , which is not $0$.
Have I gone wrong somewhere?
If I do the same for the second term instead of the first I get the same result but positive. Since the results must be equal, the only possibility for something of the form $+\text{final result}=-\text{final result}$ is for $\text{final result}=0$. Does it make sense?

A: Every term of the form
$$\varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma} P_{\rho} P_{\sigma}$$
in your calculation  is zero, including the thing you said was not zero, because e.g. in $\varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma} P_{\rho} P_{\sigma}$ the $\varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma}$ is anti-symmetric in $\rho$ and $\sigma$, $\varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma} = - \varepsilon^{\mu \nu \sigma \rho}$, while $P_{\rho} P_{\sigma}$ is symmetric in ν and ρ, $P_{\rho} P_{\sigma} = P_{\sigma} P_{\rho}$.
The simplest way to show that this is zero is to prove that $A = - A$ so that $2A = 0$. For simplicity we consider the two-dimensional analogue
$$\varepsilon^{\mu \nu} P_{\mu} P_{\nu}$$
where $\mu, \nu = 0,1$. I want to show that $\varepsilon^{\mu \nu} P_{\mu} P_{\nu} = - \varepsilon^{\mu \nu} P_{\mu} P_{\nu}$. The calculation is as follows:
\begin{align}
\varepsilon^{\mu \nu} P_{\mu} P_{\nu} &= + \varepsilon^{\nu \mu} P_{\nu} P_{\mu} \ \ (1) \\
&= - \varepsilon^{\mu \nu} P_{\nu} P_{\mu} \ \ (2) \\
&= - \varepsilon^{\mu \nu} P_{\mu} P_{\nu}  \ \ (3)
\end{align}
In line $(1)$ I used the fact that I can just re-label dummy indices whatever way I want, since they are dummy indices, and here I want to have them written in reverse order so I can later invoke anti-symmetry on $\varepsilon^{\mu \nu}$ and symmetry on $P_{\mu} P_{\nu}$. To see very explicitly why I can re-label dummy indices, just write it out:
\begin{align}
\varepsilon^{\mu \nu} P_{\mu} P_{\nu} &= \varepsilon^{0 \nu} P_{0} P_{\nu} + \varepsilon^{1 \nu} P_{1} P_{\nu} \\
&= (\varepsilon^{00} P_{0} P_{0} + \varepsilon^{0 1} P_{0} P_{1}) + (\varepsilon^{1 0} P_{1} P_{0} + \varepsilon^{1 1} P_{1} P_{1}) \\
&= (\varepsilon^{0\mu} P_{0} P_{\mu}) + (\varepsilon^{1 \mu} P_{1} P_{\mu}) \\
&= \varepsilon^{\nu \mu} P_{\nu} P_{\mu}.
\end{align}
Note I have done absolutely nothing but write it out so that there are no dummy indices, then collect the terms up with dummy indices again, but now using a different labelling.
In going from $(1)$ to $(2)$ I used the anti-symmetry of $\varepsilon^{\mu \nu}$ and in going from $(2)$ to $(3)$ I used the symmetry of $P_{\mu} P_{\nu}$. Now I have $A = - A$ so that $2A = 0$.
Another way to prove this result is to write it in the form $A = \frac{1}{2} A + \frac{1}{2} A = \frac{1}{2}A - \frac{1}{2} A = 0$ which is just a longer way of doing the above calculation, and clearly uses the above calculation in going from the $+$ to the $-$, but it is often used (e.g. to derive the angular momentum operators in special relativity/classical mechanics etc...) so it's good to be aware:
\begin{align}
\varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma} P_{\nu} P_{\rho} &= \frac{1}{2} \varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma} P_{\nu} P_{\rho} +  \frac{1}{2} \varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma} P_{\nu} P_{\rho} \ \ (1) \\
&=  \frac{1}{2} \varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma} P_{\nu} P_{\rho} -  \frac{1}{2} \varepsilon^{\mu \rho \nu \sigma} P_{\nu} P_{\rho} \ \ (2) \\
&= \frac{1}{2} \varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma} P_{\nu} P_{\rho} -  \frac{1}{2} \varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma} P_{\rho} P_{\nu} \ \ (3) \\
&= \frac{1}{2} \varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma} P_{\nu} P_{\rho} -  \frac{1}{2} \varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma} P_{\nu} P_{\rho}  \ \ (4) \\
&= 0.
\end{align}
In line $(1)$ I know that $\varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma}$ is anti-symmetric while $P_{\nu} P_{\rho}$ is symmetric so that the whole thing is immediately zero, and I want to show this explicitly by turning it into something like $A = \frac{1}{2} A + \frac{1}{2} A = \frac{1}{2} A - \frac{1}{2} A = 0$, so I introduce the $1/2$ just to get two copies of it which I expect will cancel one another. In going $(1)$ to to $(2)$ I just used the anti-symmetry of $\varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma}$ to write one of them with a $-$ sign. In going from $(2)$ to $(3)$ I then re-labelled the dummy indices so that I would have $\varepsilon^{\mu \nu \rho \sigma}$ in both terms, In going from $(3)$ to $(4)$ I then used commutativity of $P_{\mu}$ and $P_{\nu}$. Note $(4)$ is now in the form $A = \frac{1}{2}A - \frac{1}{2}A = 0$.

The latest addition to our Reviews section is a by Peter Biello on Laurent Seksik's The Last Days translated by Andre Naffis-Sahely and published by Pushkin Press.
Peter is a producer and announcer at Vermont Public Radio, and is the organizer of the Burlington Writers Workshop. He's also going to be helping us flesh out the Three Percent interview circuit in the near future.
Spoiler alert: acclaimed writer Stefan Zweig and his wife Lotte kill themselves at the end of Lauren Seksik's 2010 novel, The Last Days.
It's hard to avoid spoiling this mystery. Zweig's suicide actually happened, in Brazil in 1942, and since then his fans have wondered what life must have been like for him in his last few months.
Absent the mystery of what happens, what remains is why. These days it might be difficult for us to imagine why he'd want to kill himself. He was a successful writer and met devoted followers everywhere he went. He had successfully escaped Europe before Hitler's army could capture him (though many of his friends and family members weren't so lucky). By 1942, he was waiting out the war in warm, sunny Brazil, where alcohol-fueled celebrations in the street seemed routine. His wife, Lotte, was a picture of youth and devotion. Why commit suicide when life seemed so full of opportunities for happiness. The Last Days is Seksik's attempt to answer that question.

This is an important goal for us: to fill that gap so that we come out better at the restart. We need to be able to match the fitness standard of the Premier League and compete in the top four."
Manchester United are currently fifth in the Premier League. Three points behind number four Tottenham Hotspur and eleven behind leader Arsenal.

S&P maintains 'BBB-' rating on IIFCL
Global rating agency Standard & Poor's (S&P) today affirmed 'BBB-' long-term issuer credit rating on India Infrastructure Finance Co Ltd (IIFCL).
December 09, 2015 / 08:49 PM IST
The rating on IIFCL reflects the company's position as the key agency of the Government of India for facilitating the long-term financing of the country's infrastructure projects, S&P said in a statement. The outlook remains stable, it said.
The rating also reflects our opinion that there is an almost certain likelihood that the Indian government will provide timely extraordinary support to IIFCL, sufficient to meet its debt obligations, in case of financial distress, it said.
"We have therefore equalised the rating on IIFCL with the sovereign rating," it added.

If you live in the San Fernando Valley and you love boxing, then Valley Fight Night is the only place where you can join an always full house of fellow boxing fans and watch a stacked card of world class boxers and prospects go toe-to-toe. Sometimes imitated but never duplicated, Valley Fight Night is simply in a league of its own when it comes to consistently producing fun and entertaining live professional boxing shows in Southern California.
This Friday, Valley Fight Night returns to the lovely Burbank Marriott Convention and Events Center for another live telecast of Solo Boxeo on Unimas and a huge undercard of local prospects from the Southern California area. Eleven professional boxing matches are on tap and our own Jonathan King provides you with a preview of the nights most intriguing match ups.
In the lightweight 10 round feature, 'The Wizard' Casey Ramos (23-1, 6 KO's) returns to action looking to cast a magic spell over two-time world title challenger Miguel Belran Jr (31- 5, 21 KO's). For Beltran, who has fought predominantly in his native Mexico, a win over Ramos on national television would go a long way to further the veteran's career. Beltran, the cousin of World-ranked super lightweight Raymundo Beltran, challenged twice for a World Title and will not be fazed by whatever Ramos has planned for him Friday night. For Ramos, this fight offers him the opportunity to right the ship after losing the first bout of his career (a technical decision loss in a all-out war with undefeated prospect Andy Vences 18-0, 10 KOs). With both of these gunslingers hungry for wins, you can expect fireworks from the opening bell.
The Co-Feature on the marquee will focus on another one of Top Rank's finest young fighters taking on a former World Title challenger as undefeated super featherweight prospect Erick De Leon (15-0, 9 KO's) is schedule to step into the ring with former WBA featherweight title contender Daulis Prescott (31-4, 23 KO's). Prescott, a KO artist who has shared the ring with former World Champion Nicholas Walters, is the perfect test for promising De Leon. Both of these fighters can turn the lights out with one shot, so make sure you pay attention!
In the third TV bout of the evening, South El Monte's own Arnold Barboza Jr (15-0, 5 KO's) returns to the Solo Boxeo stage to take on heavy-handed Markus Morris (10-2, 6 KO's) in a welterweight affair scheduled for 8 rounds. For Barboza Jr, this is another opportunity to showcase his skills to both hometown fans and worldwide audiences. For Morris, this could be the biggest fight of his young career. A win over Barboza would certainly shine a light on the Minnesota native, who holds a regional Midwest title and did not travel all this way to lose. Expect this fight to start as a battle of technique, but don't be surprised if it turns out to be an all out brawl.
The undefeated local fan favorite Jessy 'El Mago' Martinez (5-0, 2 KO's) returns to action after dispatching his last opponent with a concussive shot that reverberated throughout the arena. In his way this time is trouble from the East Coast in the form of Somner Martin (6-4, 3 KO's). For Martin, the cross-country opportunity to fight the upstart Martinez was too much to pass up. Tarzana's Martinez will look to stay relaxed and take advantage of the heavy-handed Martin's mistakes with his patented counter punching. Tough to predict if this one goes the distance or ends early but fireworks are sure to fly.
Knockout specialist Artemio Reyes (23-2, 19 KO's) is set to collide with the equally heavy handed Hector Munoz (25-18, 17 KO's) in a scheduled 6 round welterweight fight. For Reyes, this is an opportunity to add to his impressive 8 fight win streak. With 7 of those 8 wins coming by way of knockout, it's safe to assume his cannons will be loaded and ready to fire from the opening bell. However, he isn't the only fighter in the ring with one punch knockout power. His opponent Hector Munoz is very dangerous and equally capable of turning the lights out with one shot or a bruising combo. He comes forward from the opening bell and throws bricks for punches. The records of both men clearly show a very ominous trend. Simply put, when these two men fight, someone usually gets knocked out!
Ashkat Ualikhanov (1-1, 1 KO's) is scheduled to take on Erick Fowler (0-1) in a battle of super lightweights. For Fowler, this opportunity offers the former World Series of Boxing and BKB competitor a chance to pick up his first professional win after dropping his debut last August. However, that may prove to be a tall task. In his last bout, Ashkat Ualikhanov needed less than two rounds to leave his opponent unconscious on the canvas. With the fresh taste of victory still on his pallet from that win, Ualikhanov seems primed to make a powerful statement of his own, making this a must-see fight.
Making his second appearance on a Top Rank/Bash Boxing undertaking, Lightweight Kevin Valle (3-0) returns to the ring riding an undefeated pony to start his career, However, his next bout could be his toughest test to date as Barstow's own Alex Silva (2-4, 1 KO's) looks to knock Valle's promising start off the proverbial tracks. Can Silva throw a wrench in the gears, or will Valle once again emerge victorious? The scheduled 4 rounder should answer this question in a potentially violent fashion.
Coming off a highlight reel KO in his debut Robert Ochoa (1-0, 1 KO's) returns to action to take on Huntington Beach's Guadalupe Arroyo (2-3) in a super bantamweight showdown. The seasoned Arroyo should be the perfect measuring stick for the young gunslinger Ochoa. Expect a quick start from Ochoa as he displayed in his pro debut, while Arroyo looks to establish his ring generalship early.
Wild Card standout Christian Robles (Pro Debut) is set to make his much-anticipated debut in a bout against undefeated Modesto native Jose Marin (1-0). Marin, who picked up his first win in his pro debut just under a year ago, is looking to keep the auspicious beginning to his career going at the young prospect's expense. This fight should produce a frenetic pace early on that could produce a finish in an instance.
Local prospect Dominic Serna Jr (Pr Debut) will take on Mexican native Alexander Acuna (1-0) in the lightweight division.
Popular local prospect Davionne Moody (Pro Debut) is scheduled to make his maiden voyage in the professional ranks against Arizona's Julio Rodas (0-4) in a battle of super lightweights.

Q: Why s--> ^ and A --> a ? in Context Free Grammars I've been reading: "Tips for creating Context free grammar" post for learning purposes and I nearly understand the concept, but I don't quite understand the following.
If we have:

L = {am bn | m >= n}.

I understand this:
S --> B
B --> aBb
A  --> aA

But what I don't understand is the concept of adding to the end of these particular values, such as:
S --> B | ^
B --> aBb | A
A  --> aA | a

Why do we add ^ (null), A, and a to the end of these lines? What do they do and why do we need them?
All help is greatly appreciated.

A: You need them to be able to construct the strings that are in the language L.
B --> aBb | A means that if you have a nonterminal B it can be replaced by either aBb or A. (Capital letters represent nonterminals and the lower case letters represent terminals).
Let's take a look at the grammar:
S --> B | ^
B --> aBb | A
A  --> aA | a

Why do we have a | ^? You need it to be able to generate the empty string. The empty string is clearly part of the language L since it contain an equal amount of as and bs.
Why do we have | A? To be able to use the rule for A. Now you can replace B with A  so you can insert either aA or a. You need this rule to be able to generate strings that have more as than bs.
Why do we have | a? To be able to replace A with a without adding a new nonterminal that need to be replaced.
When I look at this grammar I would say that you need to change A  --> aA | a to A  --> aA | a | ^ to be able to generate strings with an equal amount of as and bs. (So you can replace A with the empty string (or null) instead of having to add an extra a)
Let's say you want to generate the string aaabb:
S       //You start with S
B       //Rule: S --> B
aBb     //Rule: B --> aBb
aaBbb   //Rule: B --> aBb
aaAbb   //Rule: B --> A
aaabb   //Rule: A --> a

A: The need for the extra ^,A and a is to complete the grammar set.
Thus A --> aA takes care of [aa, aaa, aaaa, ...]
A --> aA | a takes care of [a, aa, aaa, aaaa, ...]
B --> aBb takes care of [ab, aabb, aaabbb, ...]
So, B --> aBb | A should take care of [a, ab, aa, aab, aaa, aaab, aabb, ...]
The only one missing is ^
So now complete the grammar with S --> B | ^ [^, a, aa, ab, aaa, aab, aaaa, aaab, aabb, ...]
As you can see, it is not possible to generate the 2nd half from the first half, but it is also a subset of the grammar. So, in order to complete the grammar, that 2nd half is crucial as well. Look at the wikipedia article for clearer examples.

I was born and raised in New York City, with a stop in South Florida before moving back north to attend Boston University. While in Boston, I received a degree in biomedical engineering and then moved to Baltimore to attend Johns Hopkins Medical School. In 1988, I moved to Atlanta to live and finish my training at Emory. My wife and I have three children, who all thrive on outdoor sports - tennis, baseball, swimming, golf and skiing.
Medicine to me has always been about teaching. While diagnosis and prescribing is important, it often is a small part of what medicine is about. Teaching people about their diagnosis, the factors that contribute to it and how they take an active role in their treatment is often the most important part of medicine. While I practice general gastroenterology, I have special interests in liver and hepatobiliary diseases. I have been with Kaiser Permanente for more than 15 years, and I have served in a number of roles. I have been chief of the Gastroenterology Department at Northside Hospital as well as chief of the Gastroenterology Department at Kaiser Permanente.
I try to maintain a balance between family, leisure and work. My entire family likes outdoor activities, which range from participating in tennis, golf, baseball, swimming and skiing, or watching the Braves, Hawks, Falcons, Thrashers and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. We also enjoy travel and the beach.

Entheos is an American progressive metal super-group formed in 2015 by ex-members of Animosity. Including that some of the members were part of well known groups such as Animals as Leaders, The Faceless. They released their debut EP Primal in March 2015 and their debut album The Infinite Nothing in April 2016. The band announced their return to the studio in March 2017 and released Dark Future in November of the same year.

History
Entheos was formed by drummer Navene Koperweis, vocalist Chaney Crabb, bassist Evan Brewer, and ex-Animosity guitarist Frank Costa in early 2015. Crabb's vocal prowess rose to prominence after her vocal audition video for Veil of Maya's vacant singer spot went viral.

After their initial lineup was solidified, the band posted a series of studio update teaser videos to their Facebook page. The band posted the album artwork and release date for an upcoming work on February 25, 2015. Their debut EP, Primal - EP on March 15, 2015. Preceding the official release, the band posted the entirety of Primal to their BandCamp on March 12, 2015.

On November 2, 2015, Entheos announced that guitarist Frank Costa had departed the band due to "things in his life that need to be taken care of, which we feel cannot be achieved while being involved in this project." In the same statement the band announced that guitarist Malcom Pugh had joined the band to replace Costa.

On May 5, 2015, the band posted a video to their Facebook page, announcing that they were already recording music for a new release.

On April 1, 2016, the band released their debut album The Infinite Nothing.

On June 2, 2016, Entheos announced via their Facebook page that Malcom Pugh had departed the band. In the same post, the band announced that former Scale the Summit guitarist Travis LeVrier had joined the band on a permanent basis.

On March 14, 2017, Navene Koperweis announced via his Facebook page that the band had returned to the studio again. The Entheos Facebook page additionally posted a video depicting studio work with the hashtag "lp2".

On September 7, 2017, Entheos announced the release date for their new, and second album Dark Future. The album was released on November 10, 2017 through Spinefarm Records. To promote the album they released a single "The World Without Us".

In May 2021, Entheos announced that they were signed to Metal Blade Records and are expected to release their third album in early 2022.

On April 5, 2022, Entheos announced that they had completed work on their third album and it was currently being mixed by Mark Lewis, with plans on releasing it later in 2022 via Metal Blade Records.
