A Senator Wants Congress To "Unilaterally" Release Information On Jamal Khashoggi's Killing If The Trump Administration Won't
The director of national intelligence was supposed to turn over an unclassified report on Khashoggi's death earlier this week but blew the deadline.

WASHINGTON — Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden said he will seek to make public the secret information about the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi if the Trump administration continues to refuse to turn over a report on the issue.
Earlier this week, the director of national intelligence was required by law to provide an unclassified report to Congress on Khashoggi's brutal killing at a Saudi Consulate in 2018. However, the DNI missed the deadline, as BuzzFeed News first reported Thursday, prompting inquiries from lawmakers.
On Friday, Wyden told reporters that if the DNI fails to produce the report by the end of President Donald Trump's ongoing impeachment trial, he will trigger a process that would allow the Senate to "unilaterally" release information itself.
"It has been more than a year since agents of the Saudi government murdered Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi Embassy in Turkey, and yet the Trump administration refuses to publicly acknowledge who ordered that assassination, and instead the Trump administration is basically running interference for an authoritarian government," Wyden said.
Wyden, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, declined to say what the panel knows about Khashoggi's death, citing its strict rules around secrecy. The CIA has reportedly concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing, and senators have said they had little doubt he was involved following a briefing from CIA Director Gina Haspel in December 2018.
"If there isn't a new DNI report, I can work to declassify information that would go into it," Wyden said of the information he would seek to have released through the Senate process.
That process, outlined in the Senate resolution that formed the committee in 1974, states that the panel may disclose any information in its possession if it would serve the public interest. The process would require a committee vote and could end in a full vote on the Senate floor, which would take weeks.
Wyden said the process has been triggered before but never reached its conclusion; lawmakers and the administration have been able to eventually come to an agreement in those cases.
Asked if the move would garner enough support to be approved by the Republican-controlled committee and Senate, Wyden said there isn't much appetite among Senate Republicans for covering for the Saudis. In December 2018, the Senate voted to end US aid to the Saudi war in Yemen in response to Khashoggi's death — a move that contrasted Trump's refusal to publicly call out Saudi leadership for the killing.
A spokesperson for North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr, the committee chair, declined to comment.

New Sublime Documentary In The Works
It's been since the 1998 independent release of Stories, Tales, Lies & Exaggerations or perhaps the late 2001 drop of VH-1's Behind The Music that a proper telling of Sublime's story was documented. 2018 will be the year we see a new documentary on the beautifully complicated band that we continue to celebrate in Sublime.
The documentary will be written and directed by two-time Academy Award-winning director Bill Guttentag and created with the full cooperation of the Sublime members and the Nowell Estate. The film is set to begin production immediately. Guttentag will produce, along with Peter Paterno, Sublime managers Dave Kaplan and Scott Seine (DKM/Surfdog), and Nayeema Raza.
Drummer, Bud Gaugh, from Sublime says, "I can't wait to hand deliver our story to our fans. It has been a long-time coming and now there are literally two more generations of fans who never had the opportunity to see us perform, or don't know the whole story. I am excited to work with Bill Guttentag, as I am a big fan of his work as well."
It's been said that Guttentag will be granted unprecedented access to Sublime's archives, including rare music and never-before-seen footage. The film will even have a soundtrack with cuts from the band's catalog and feature rare, unreleased gems, as well as music from the era and songs that were influential in molding the band's sound.
Guttentag shares that: "Sublime is an iconic band — and I feel honored to be directing this film. Few bands have had the enduring, electrifying appeal of Sublime. With our film we hope to bring Sublime's amazing story and incredible music to their long-time devoted fans, and also connect to a new generation — who have also embraced their singular, powerful sound."
The late (great) Josh Fischel did a fantastic job on '98's "Stories, Tales, Lies & Exaggerations." Josh was the man behind the lens for all of Sublime's Warped Tour footage and for the time-period, he did research in releasing a great story and interviewing everyone that was associated with the band. I imagine Josh's documentary would be an immediate blueprint for Guttentag to reference when getting to work on this film. If you're a Sublime fan and not familiar with Stories, Tales, Lies & Exaggerations, go search it out right now!
As a die-hard fan of the band, this new documentary needs to tell, in detail, how intricate both
Miguel Happoldt and Marshall 'Ras MG' Goodman were to the sound we know as Sublime. While Sublime was famously marketed as 3-white guys, the contributing players played such a huge role in their diverse sound. Ras MG was behind the drum-kit on "Date Rape" as well as most of the 40oz to Freedom album including hit singles, "What I Got" and contributed production & DJ cuts for "Doin' Time" from the self-titled record. Miguel was the glue that kept the band together, but was not on the official contract that Sublime signed, so on the surface Miguel has only been credited as a producer.
I just hope the true depth of the band is finally revealed and not just sold as 3-white guys making music — The story is so much deeper than that based on my talks with Miguel, Marshall & Opie Ortiz. The more you dig into that story, the more complex it is, but without it's complexity, I don't think we'd have the depth we hear in Sublimes music. So in short, Bill Guttentag better Oscar-Award his way into a well told fucking story of Sublime that matches the depth of their music and background!
[Related: Interview with Josh Fischel]
Documentaries can often times be viewed as a precursor to a major motion picture, where perhaps a movie is done on the group that loosely follows the documentaries script. It would be awesome to see Sublime's story spread to the big screen to the likes of a Straight Outta Compton or The Doors. When I spoke to Josh Fischel, just before his unfortunate passing, he offered his input for a Sublime movie, saying it'd be best told as: "a series of vignettes, these little scenes of how all of this stuff was put together. You don't need an ulterior motive or a subtext necessarily to tell a rock & roll story. Just tell it viscerally and as true as you can… 100% John Goodman could play Jim Nowell, Brad's dad, Papa Nowell."

As part of his professional duties, John Sheeran visits the site of Upper Perkiomen's new middle school in Upper Hanover approximately once a week. Whenever Sheeran drives past the construction, he gawks at the progress.
"I love it," said Sheeran, the director of facilities and operations for the Upper Perkiomen School District and a licensed wastewater engineer. "I'm like a little kid when it comes to this stuff."
The three-story classroom building and a connected administrative wing, covered with spray foam insulation, looms over Montgomery Avenue. Bricks covering half the wall of the classroom wing "brings the building to life," according to Superintendent Alexis McGloin.
In the classroom wing, the concrete floors have all been poured, and the roof installation is underway and should be completed within the next couple weeks, weather permitting, according to Sheeran. He also stated that framing for the classroom walls is 90 percent complete, and that crews are currently installing the HVAC duct work, electrical, fire sprinklers, plumbing for rest rooms and additional insulation.
A large window connected to a series of offices and conference rooms, spaced out with steel partitions and dry wall, provides a clear line of site to the street. A series of steel planks attached to the rear of the conference area identifies the future library.
Farther south, in the middle of the 43-acre property along the Green Lane Reservoir, crews utilize a crane to install multiple joists at the auditorium, music room technical education and gymnasium portion of the school.
At the same time, another man wearing a hard hat is placing the main electrical feeds behind a mechanical room near a tech-ed classroom. Sheeran pointed out a raised section of concrete that will eventually serve as the auditorium's control room as well as the area identified as the stage.
"The different sections of the school are taking shape," McGloin wrote in an Aug. 24 email message. "The construction project is moving along at a rapid pace and I am pleased with (it). I am excited for the opportunities that will be available for our students and staff because of this new building."
Despite a Dec. 1 vote by the Upper Perkiomen School Board to pause the construction, the $55.890 million facility for sixth, seventh and eighth graders remains on budget and scheduled to open in time for the 2019-20 school year, according to the superintendent. Though the members have approved multiple change orders, the project has incurred no additional costs, McGloin wrote in an Aug. 24 email message.
In April, four months after the board members voted to terminate and restart the project, they approved a $35,799 payment to D'Huy Engineering, Inc., the Bethlehem firm in charge of overseeing the project, for stabilizing the site. They also voted to pay two contractors $203,261 for costs related to the board's stop/start of the project, which also added 22 days to the permitted construction time.
Last month, board Member Melanie Cunningham announced a similar delay during a facilities committee meeting at Hereford Elementary. Last week, McGloin repeated her belief the new building would open in time for the start of the 2019-20 school year.
"I believe we're going to get this project back on track," she said following the school board's Aug. 23 workshop meeting.
Sheeran is confident the school will be completed on time. He credited D'Huy Engineering for keeping the project on track.
"The weather has been the biggest issue," said Sheeran, who represents the district at bi-monthly construction meetings. "The thing with the board did not help, either."
According to Sheeran, the steel crew is working seven days a week to make up for time lost this winter due to the board's vote and heavy snow. He said the crew's work should be concluded by the end of the month. The facilities director estimated that the classroom wing will be closed before Christmas, which will allow for interior work to continue over the winter.
At least four contactors or sub-contractors are working at any one time at the site between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. during the week, weather permitting, according to Sheeran. He said the general contractor – Boro Developers, Inc. – utilized a 3D model-based computer process, prior to breaking ground, in order to more efficiently plan, design, construct and manage buildings and infrastructure.
Late last week, crews continued to implement the roof and metal decking. According to Sheeran, PECO has already run a gas line to the site from Walt Road so crews can work inside the structure this winter.
"I've never seen a group of contractors work so well together," Sheeran said. "That can make or break a project."
Contractors have avoided any major issues at the site, according to Sheeran. He said they have been forced to deal with minor issues related to electricity and the building's sprinkler system.
Meanwhile, Sheeran continues to work months ahead. Recently, he showed the electrical contractor how to install a version of the state-of-the-art projectors that will be utilized at the middle school. He has also begun consulting with Principal Christine Siegfried on numbering the rooms and Bryan Ruzenski, the district's director of technology, on questions dealing with the implementation of computers in the classrooms.
"That's how you keep a project like thing moving forward," Sheeran said.


In my first week of classes during the fall semester of my junior year of college, I was told by two separate instructors within the School of Education that teaching is a form of brainwashing, and I should be careful with how I use this power.
There are teachers in the world who hope to do good, to mold young minds, and to impart positive values to the next generation. There are teachers in the world taking a viscerally practical approach: teaching students conflict-resolution skills, keeping up to date with the latest greatest technology, and calling on students to use logic when they write, solve problems, and go about daily life.
Then there are teachers who make no effort to hide their biases and who make no effort to show students both sides of the equation.
Forty-two states have adopted the Common Core State Standards Initiative while 8 have not. Those 8 states are responsible for adhering to their own statewide educational standard initiatives. I don't know what it is about Common Core, but it seems to breed anti-Israel lessons. One education professor has planned a Common Core approved conflict-resolution lesson for high school students which pushes students to empathize with Hamas (a U.S. government-designated terrorist group), establish a Palestinian state, and that encourages students to find a way to divide Jerusalem. As if this single workshop weren't enough, educational materials intended to be used in classroom instruction adhering to Common Core standards ask students such questions as "Was George Washington any different from Palestinian terrorists trying to protect their country?" and "If a Palestinian suicide bomber kills several dozen Israeli teenagers in a Jerusalem restaurant, is that an act of terrorism or wartime retaliation against Israeli government policies and army actions?" Not that every Common Core lesson breeds negativity towards the Jewish state or, by proxy, Jews, yet if these are the standards to which we are holding our students, we have reason to be concerned and we should expect more. The good news is, however, that with the passing of the "Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015" (ESSA), the federal government can no longer interfere with state-level educational standards or pressure states into adopting the Common Core standards.
And on top of all of this, the indoctrination or brainwashing of students which my own instructors warned me of continues through higher education.
We are fortunate enough to live in a country that cares deeply about the body of knowledge being imparted to students. This is why debates regarding what should be taught in schools persist nationwide, right? As such, the U.S. is blessed with the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) which is intended to bolster educational resources at American institutions of higher education and to provide financial assistance for students in need. As part of the strengthening of these resources, Title VI of the HEOA allows the Secretary of Education to fund foreign language and area studies (FLAS) and National Resource Centers (NRCs) on university and college campuses that will supposedly provide students with language expertise and knowledge useful to the government in terms of defending national security interests.
Under Title VI, NRCs are supposed to offer students multiple points of view regarding all sorts of international issues and must also provide teacher training and resources for K-12 teachers and instruction. Yet, these federal funds at many institutions are supporting professors like Juan Cole, defender of Iran and basher of both the US and Israel, and Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said's protégé and professor of colonialist theory. Additionally, the resources published for teachers on many of these NRCs web pages barely mention Israel or Israelis and instead push for recognition of Palestine and Palestinian talents. As a passionate future educator, I am disheartened. I wish to enter a profession that intends the best for all students and teaches well-rounded global citizens rather than global citizens who have been led to favor one population and to abhor another.
Sarah Stern, the founder and president of the Endowment for Middle East Truth, often points to what children are being taught as a true hallmark of their society's values. Children who are taught hatred will persist and be burdened with hatred; children who are taught peace will love and pursue peace. Perhaps some modern day educators the world over should take a step back to see the larger picture and the generation they are now molding.

REDMOND NAMED WINNER OF EDDIE SHORE AWARD
The American Hockey League announced today that Zach Redmond of the Rochester Americans is the winner of the Eddie Shore Award as the AHL's outstanding defenseman for the 2018-19 season.
The award is voted on by coaches, players and members of the media in each of the league's 31 cities.
Redmond finished the 2018-19 regular season with career-best totals of 21 goals (tops among all AHL defensemen) and 50 points, along with a plus-13 rating in just 58 games for the Americans, who finished with the fourth-best record in the AHL. He tied for the overall league lead with nine game-winning tallies and ranked first among blueliners with 10 power-play goals (tied) and 200 shots on goal. Redmond, who broke a 46-year-old franchise record for goals by a defenseman in a single season, was also voted a First Team AHL All-Star this season following a Second Team selection in 2017-18. He joins AHL Hall of Famer Steve Kraftcheck (1959) and Hockey Hall of Famer Al Arbour (1965) as the only Amerks ever to receive the Eddie Shore Award.
An eighth-year pro from Traverse City, Mich., Redmond has totaled 65 goals and 132 assists for 197 points in 314 career AHL games, as well as nine goals and 29 assists in 133 NHL contests with Buffalo, Montreal, Colorado and Winnipeg. Redmond, who has successfully resumed his career following a potentially life-threatening laceration to his femoral artery in 2013, was drafted by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2008 and was acquired by Buffalo in a trade with Montreal on Oct. 4, 2017.
This award was first presented by the AHL in 1958-59 in honor of the late Eddie Shore, a member of both the Hockey Hall of Fame and the American Hockey League Hall of Fame who is widely regarded as one of hockey's greatest defensemen. Shore won a total of seven Calder Cups in his career, including two as the general manager of the Buffalo Bisons and five as the longtime owner of the Springfield Indians. Previous recipients of the Eddie Shore Award include Steve Kraftcheck (1959), Bob McCord (1961, '67), Al Arbour (1965), Jim Morrison (1966), Noel Price (1970, '72, '76), Brian Engblom (1977), Terry Murray (1978, '79), Dave Farrish (1982), Brad Shaw (1987), Dave Fenyves (1988, '89), Eric Weinrich (1990), Darren Rumble (1997), John Slaney (2001, '02), Niklas Kronwall (2005), Johnny Boychuk (2009), Mark Barberio (2012), Justin Schultz (2013), T.J. Brennan (2014, '16), Chris Wideman (2015), Matt Taormina (2017) and Sami Niku (2018).
In operation since 1936, the American Hockey League continues to serve as the top development league for all 31 National Hockey League teams. Nearly 90 percent of all players competing in the NHL are AHL graduates, and through the years the American Hockey League has been home to more than 100 honored members of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Sixteen clubs will continue to vie for the league's coveted championship trophy when the 2019 Calder Cup Playoffs get underway Wednesday.

An electromyogram (EMG) is a common clinical test used to assess function of muscles and the nerves that control them. EMG studies are used to help in the diagnosis and management of disorders such as the muscular dystrophies and neuropathies. Nerve conduction studies that measure how well and how fast the nerves conduct impulses are often performed in conjunction with EMG studies.
Examples of EMG studies (courtesy of Seward Rutkove, MD, Department of Neurology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School) are given here.
Data were collected with a Medelec Synergy N2 EMG Monitoring System (Oxford Instruments Medical, Old Woking, United Kingdom). A 25mm concentric needle electrode was placed into the tibialis anterior muscle of each subject. The patient was then asked to dorsiflex the foot gently against resistance. The needle electrode was repositioned until motor unit potentials with a rapid rise time were identified. Data were then collected for several seconds, at which point the patient was asked to relax and the needle removed.
The figure shows three examples of EMG data from: 1) a 44 year old man without history of neuromuscular disease; 2) a 62 year old man with chronic low back pain and neuropathy due to a right L5 radiculopathy; and 3) a 57 year old man with myopathy due to longstanding history of polymyositis, treated effectively with steroids and low-dose methotrexate. The data were recorded at 50 KHz and then downsampled to 4 KHz. During the recording process two analog filters were used: a 20 Hz high-pass filter and a 5K Hz low-pass filter.

Facebook, Twitter Election Results Prove Remarkably Accurate
By Austin Carr 1 minute Read
Candidates in yesterday's mid-term elections fought hard to gain voters and leads in polls, but what about Facebook fans? According to figures released this morning, popularity on Facebook provided a surprisingly accurate portrait of House and Senate races.
Facebook's political team said that candidates with more Facebook fans than their opponents won 74% of House races and 81% of Senate races. Though Facebook accurately predicted most elections, some big upsets included Christine O'Donnell, Meg Whitman, and Sharron Angle, all of whom had far more fans on Facebook, yet lost their elections.
Still, Facebook is rapidly becoming a social voting platform, one that campaigns will certainly focus on in 2012. A remarkable 12 million people clicked the "I Voted" button this election cycle, a massive 122% increase from 2008's 5.4 million voters.
We're still analyzing how Twitter stacked up–stay tuned–but in Nevada's major contest between Angle and Harry Reid, the micro-blogging platform may have been far more accurate than Facebook–and even scientific polls. In the days leading up to the election, most every poll showed Angle ahead of Reid; however, data compiled by Crimson Hexagon, which uses a sophisticated algorithm to analyzes Twitter conversations online, showed Reid ahead of Angle 55% to 45%.
Reid ended up winning, proving polls wrong, with 50.2% of the vote, compared with Angle's 44.6%.

The Disappearance and Murder of Latania Janell Carwell
Latania Janell Carwell (pictured left) was last seen alive on the evening of April 17th, 2017—the day before her 16th birthday. The teen, who went by her middle name Janell, was last seen around 1:30am at her family's home in Augusta, Georgia. According to Janell's mother, Tanya Tripp (pictured top right), Janell left with her stepfather Leon Tripp (pictured bottom right) en route to Clarks Hill, South Carolina. Leon apparently got a call from a friend in Clarks Hill who got his car stuck, and Leon and Janell went to help him. Tanya said that the two did not return as planned, and she reported them missing the next day after she was unable to get in touch with them.
On April 26th, 2017, police found Leon's car abandoned just a mile away from their home. The car was processed, and it apparently yielded no DNA evidence or additional clues about Janell and Leon's disappearance. However, the police also investigated their cell phone data—which indicated that they never went to Clarks Hill.
As the news about Leon and Janell's disappearance began to spread, police began to receive tips that Leon had been seen more than a hundred miles away in Atlanta—without Janell. In fact, Leon had been spotted for the first time in Atlanta on April 21st—just a few days after he was last seen with Janell. Police discovered that Leon had ties to Atlanta and had been staying with friends in that area.
According to Richmond County Sheriff Richard Roundtree, Leon actually made two or three trips back and forth while authorities were actively looking for him and Janell. The numerous tips that police received about Leon indicated that Leon was alive and unharmed—but there was still no news or sightings of Janell. As a result, authorities issued kidnapping warrants for Leon on May 1st, 2017.
Meanwhile, suspicions were growing against Tanya as well. Tanya continued to express concern for her daughter in the media, however she also adamantly expressed that she did not believe Leon had harmed Janell. The day after the warrants were issued, reporters from local NewsChannel 6 asked Tanya if it was possible that Leon and Janell had secretly been in a relationship. Tanya responded, "He married to all this prettiness and he gon' run away with our daughter? Come on now. That's stupid!" That statement seemed odd and wildly inappropriate for a mother with a missing daughter to say—but the odd behavior did not end there.
Once it was discovered that Leon had travelled from Atlanta to Augusta several times while there was an active search for him, many believed that Tanya knew of Leon's whereabouts the entire time; he was never truly "missing" at all. These beliefs were only strengthened on May 23rd, 2017, when police were finally able to track down Leon. On that day, US marshals in Atlanta were searching for him when he was finally spotted at a local U-Haul facility. When officers cornered him there, he was not alone. Right by his side was his wife, Tanya Tripp. Both were arrested on the spot. Leon was charged with kidnapping, and Tanya was charged with hindering the apprehension of a criminal.
After the arrests, Leon denied harming Janell. He said that he and Janell were actually heading to Atlanta the night of April 17th, instead of Clarks Hill. At some point during the trip, Leon said that he gave Janell money to take the bus back to Augusta and has not seen her since. Tanya continued to deny any involvement as well. Almost a year later, in March 2018, Janell's remains were found behind a vacant lot in Richmond County, Georgia—not far from her home in Augusta. Shortly thereafter, Leon had first-degree murder added to his charges, and Tanya had second-degree murder added to hers. Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty against Leon.
Rest in peace, Janell.
UPDATE: In June 2020, it was revealed that prosecutors filed a motion to introduce evidence of additional crimes allegedly committed by Leon Tripp and Tanya Tripp. The evidence states that Leon and Tanya reportedly solicited someone to kill Latania Janell Carwell on three separate occasions prior to her disappearance in April 2017. According to documents, the couple attempted to do this in both September and December 2015, and then one other time in October 2016.
Despite this evidence, a motive has still not been revealed. Their cases are still pending.

Univiersalism is unbiblical. It leaves the way of truth and places Jesus Christ on the periphery of God's plan of redemption. It declares repentance out of date, the born-again experience unnecessary, and accuses those who criticize Univiersalism as not understanding the fullness of God's "grace." God's true grace is in His Son, Jesus Christ. He saves you as an individual. Salvation is an intimate, personal experience with the Lord. It is not an impersonal, universal principle for all mankind.
In the world today many saints witness for Jesus Christ at the risk of their freedom, their well being, and their very lives. One organization that reports on these activities is The Voice of the Martyrs.
These faithful saints live in repressive regimes. The powers that be hate the Gospel and the name of Jesus Christ. It takes great courage and Holy Spirit power to enable these children of God to preach and teach the hope of salvation in Christ.
Many go to prison. Many suffer disfigurement, and many die. They think it is worth it for the privilege of telling the lost about Jesus Christ and His salvation. They believe God enables them to infiltrate the darkness. We believe He does, too.
One wonders what these courageous saints would say to the teachers of the false doctrine of Univiersalism?
More exegesis at the link above.
The entertainment industry is great for entertainment. Now, how is reality going for you?
Everything you assert about UR is a lie . . or based on ignorance. Salvation IS universal for all humankind. Jesus took care of that. The individual personal experience you are concerned about is sanctification and its resultant "works of hay, stubble, wood . . or gold, silver, etc." built on the foundation of Jesus Christ.
Of course I believe His death is good enough for everyone. That isn't the point. However, what you bring up according to works of hay, stubble, wood . . or gold, silver, etc." built on the foundation of Jesus Christ, is only about those of the faith....who are built, as temple, on the foundation of Jesus Christ. Good grief...I have seen some eisegesis before, but UR takes the cake. Tentmaker has deeply wounded all of you.
His faulty interpretations have been usurped so methodically by so many people, it is not even funny anymore. The guy needs to rip down his site and repent! He is in a dreamland.
Eschatology gone more seriously wrong than ISLAM!
At least Isalm doesn't distort the salvific work of Christ. They simply deny it. UR.....warps it into a cancer.
Exclusivist nonsense designed to "tickle the ears" of those who desire to be "special."
The ET/Annihilation doctrines warp the Gospel into a fear-producing cancerous growth of evil and hate. UR promotes the growth of love . . . which can in no way be considered cancerous.

Sciotamicks preaches that all ice cream except Butter Pecan is to be cast into his lake of fire.
Sciotamicks even hates ice cream.
Sciotamicks, where do you dig this crap up?
What the heck is this???....It leaves the way of truth and places Jesus Christ on the periphery of God's plan of redemption. It declares repentance out of date, the born-again experience unnecessary.
You don't have to agree with UR, we already know that but to deliberately lie? Come on dude.
That seems to be Sciotamicks only recourse ... You know what the scriptures say about bearing false witness, and about deceiving and being deceived.
To answer your question Sciotamicks, a true Christian martyr would ask God to forgive those who persecutes them like Christ did, as Christ commanded we should do, when he commanded that we must bless those who spitefully abuse us, and pray for those who persecute us. We are to love our enemies and not return evil for evil, but we are to overcome evil with Good. These are the things we are commanded by Christ to do if we are to be complete as our father in heaven is complete, and if we are to follow Christs example of love for all humanity.
But what would you do? Would you tell those that persecute you that they were going to burn in hell for ever for persecuting you? Is that what you think that Martyrs should do? Do you think martyrs would hate those of us who teach universal salvation because we teach that God will heal and save even the wicked and unbelieving as he healed and saved Paul, the one time pharisee who persecuted Christians for many years?
Certainly God will punish them that persecute the innocent, but to what end? Does God return evil for evil? Is the purpose of judgment merely to cause others to suffer for suffering sake? Is that not the very definition of returning evil for evil?
I tell you many shall be punished according to their deeds, but for the purpose of rehabilitation and so that they will come to understand the suffering they have caused others and be ashamed and repent and come to a knowledge of the truth and at last finally be saved. And so should our prayers be that God forgive them, even as Christ did pray for those who crucified him.

Andrea Califano is Professor of Systems Biology at Columbia University, in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Biomedical Informatics, and in the Institute for Cancer Genetics. Since 2010, he is founding director and chair of the Columbia Initiative in Systems Biology, slated for departmental status later in 2011. He is also Director of the Sulzberger Columbia Genome Center and Associate Director for Bioinformatics of the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Dr. Califano's interests are broadly defined within the field of Systems Biology, with specific application to human malignancies. In particular his lab has pioneered early efforts to assemble genome-wide, context-specific maps of molecular interactions in human cells, using reverse engineering algorithms and high-throughput experimental approaches. Interrogation of these maps has led to the rational elucidation of master regulators of both physiological and pathological phenotypes, as well as of the driving mutations and aberrant signals that are integrated by these genes. Over the last few years, the Califano lab has assembled biochemically validated, genome-wide map of transcriptional and post-transcriptional interaction in several human cell contexts, including B cell, Breast Carcinoma, Glioma, as well as normal and tumor-related Stem Cells. The Califano lab integrates the development of analytical methodologies with high-throughput experimental assays necessary for data generation and biochemical/biological validation.
Dr. Califano serves on several boards in academia, industry, and government. among these, he is a member of the Board of Scientific Advisors of the National Cancer Institute, the Physical Science Oncology Center (Dana Farber Cancer Institute), the Center for a Virtual Tumor (Harvard), the Skin Cancer SPORE (Yale University), the CardioVascular Resarch Grid (Johns Hopkins), and Sage Bionetworks. He was for 13 years at IBM Research where he directed the IBM Computational Biology Center. He was the founder and chief technology officer of First Genetic Trust, and Founder and Chairman of Therasis Inc. The latter is a company recently founded in New York for the systems biology based development of combination therapy for human malignancies.

When I became a driving instructor, thinking it would be sensible to learn how to actually teach, I took a diploma course called Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning System. One thing I gleaned from the course was, and it's pretty obvious anyway, is that people learn better if they see and feel the joy and purpose of a subject. That is why, to avoid boredom setting in, I take my pupils on occasional fun road trips.
One day I took Cherry Cuevas on a drive to the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. In spring sunshine we drove along countryside roads edged with early emerging blossom. Brave birds flew low across our path, burdened with nest construction materials, clutched in their beaks. Lambs played alongside their dozing mothers in the fields we passed.
I stopped the lesson to give Cherry a rest. While admiring the gently rolling countryside we discussed how wonderful the area would be for walking our dogs. How, if she had a car, Cherry could bring her dogs to walk on the wooded Otley Chevin. She showed me pictures of her dogs, two border collies, Shadow and Calypso and told me that in her home country, the Philippines, dogs are not regarded as pets, only as working animals. Cherry, besotted with her dogs has embraced our dog loving culture.
I asked her if she had watched the film 'Lassie come home'. Her eyes lit up. Yes, she said, she had seen the film and the television series. This is not surprising as the book and films were a worldwide phenomenon. The reason I mentioned the film was that the author of the book, Eric Knight, had lived in the village of Menston half a mile away from where we were parked. I knew exactly where. I had learned this interesting fact from another pupil who's grandmother lived in the house, Carlrayne, where the author had been born on the 10th April 1897.
What I find surprising is that the recognition of Eric Knight's life is quite low key in his home town; a plaque, bearing minimal information, on the wall of the the local library. Had my pupil not told me I would never have known he had been born in Menston, despite living there myself for two years. Knight was the youngest of three sons born to Frederic and Marion Knight. His father, a diamond merchant, was killed in the Boer War when Eric was two years old. His mother moved to St. Petersburg, Russia, to work as a governess for the imperial family before settling in America. Apparently, Eric was left in the care of an uncle and aunt in Yorkshire and emigrated to America in 1912 settling in Philadelphia.
Knight served as a signaller in the Canadian Army during WWI, then as a Captain of Field Artillery in the U.S. Army Reserve between the wars. When not in the armed forces he was an art student, a newspaper reporter and a Hollywood screenwriter. In 1943, when a major in the United States Army Special Services, Eric Knight died in an air crash.
Eric Knight published many books. His novel 'This above all' is considered one of the significant novels of the Second World War and his novel 'Lassie Come Home' set in Yorkshire was made into a film by MGM. Sequels and television series followed making Lassie a worldwide icon.
As I stood with Cherry, looking through the gate at the house where Eric Knight was born, I thought of the incredible story of this extraordinary man and his life. Is this, I wondered, a kind of literary snobbery. Is the author of story of a dog, enjoyed and loved by millions around the world not regarded as worthy of greater recognition.

Silver Y - Iain Leach
Ivy lifeline for autumn moths
Despite Christmas being weeks away, wildlife lovers are gathering around the ivy as they search for rare and spectacular moths looking for an autumn lifeline.
An immigration of rare moths from Europe takes place across the UK every autumn and these rarities have also been joined by spectacular immigrant species such as the giant Convolvulus Hawk-moth and Humming-bird Hawk-moth.
The Clifden Nonpareil, one of the UK's most striking autumn moths has recently become established from Dorset to Kent but numbers have been boosted by dozens of immigrants from the continent.
Ivy provides a lifeline to moths, butterflies and other pollinators as it flowers late in the year when other nectar sources are unavailable.
Many different autumnal moths are regularly seen refuelling on ivy blossom, including the beautiful Pink-barred Sallow, Angle Shades, Green-brindled Crescent, Yellow-line Quaker and Lunar Underwing.
Migrant species may be attracted too, such as the Silver Y, supping on the sugary nectar that will power their flights southwards to warmer climes.
Pink-barred Sallow
For moths staying and overwintering as adults such as the Buttoned Snout and Red-green Carpet, ivy flowers provide an important food source as the moths build up their fat reserves.
All this insect activity has other benefits too – pollinating the ivy flowers will create the blackberries that provide a winter food supply for birds.
Butterfly Conservation Head of Recording, Richard Fox said: "A quick check of ivy blossom on a sunny autumn day will reveal bees, hoverflies, butterflies and other insects, all making the most of this seasonal bonanza of nectar.
"After dark, the pollinator nightshift takes place and a myriad of moths come out to feed.
"Find some big patches of ivy flowers nearby and go back with a torch after the sun has set. It's a fantastic and easy way to see some of the beautiful moths that are on the wing in autumn."
Atropos editor Mark Tunmore said: "Ivy is an undervalued natural resource and there is a tendency for it to be regarded as something that needs to be tidied away in the garden.
"However, ivy offers valuable nectar for insects, shelter for bats and nesting birds, as well as a source of berries for small mammals and birds. It is also an attractive plant in its own right.
"We are encouraging people to get out over the coming days and look at what they can see on their local ivy patches. Some of our most attractive autumnal moths may be glimpsed, taking advantage of this rich nectar source."
Ecologist at CEH Marc Botham said "There are a fantastic range of autumnal moths in the UK, a number of which are declining. They provide food for many other animals especially those feeding up for winter when food is scarce."


The Samsung Galaxy Note Series has launched in 2011, at IFA Berlin. Samsung offered the Samsung Galaxy Note with the larger and modified technology and that time some content was not seen before in any smartphone. For example, the Samsung Galaxy Note came with a 5.3-inch display that was considered as beyond expectations smartphone for the users, because before the launch of Galaxy Note, in 2011, the Samsung company made their smaller phones, like 4.3-inch display smartphone. When the company introduced their new smartphone 5.3-inch Galaxy Note, then, the new flagship got the attention and it becomes very popular between a short time of its launch. The Samsung Galaxy Note had sold 1 million units in two months, October 2011 to December 2011.
Its users get the bigger display and other new features in Samsung Galaxy Note, so, its users easily got the ability to say, the arrival of Galaxy Note was, "larger than life". If we tell about its unique 'S Pen', you can relate to it, how much it classy and user-friendly, and particularly, if you were a user of it then it may be very easy for you to relate. The S Pen gave the capability to its user to characterize in different pressure and degrees with the user-friendly experience. Simply that time, the 5.3-inch Galaxy Note and its stylus 'S Pen' had known as the most familiar big-screen smartphone.
After Samsung Galaxy Note, the Samsung launched their Galaxy Note 2 in September 2012. This Samsung Galaxy Note 2 model came with some updated features and some of the features were seen on Galaxy S3. The Galaxy Note 2 sports 5.5-inch display, powerful battery cell, improved AMOLED panel, more S Pen-centric functions, an upgraded digitizer with 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity for more precise pen input, improved hardware design(based on Galaxy S 3), Air View(allows previews of content to be displayed by hovering the pen above the screen), split-screen multitasking, a faster quad-core processor and double RAM. The S Pen gave the better experience when users used it in 5.5-inch improved AMOLED display of Galaxy Note 2. This phone was an improved device compared to Galaxy Note, and a grand successor for Samsung.
On 4th September 2013, the Galaxy Note 3 was released with bigger 5.7-inch screen and a more "premium" design with a plastic leather backing. The phone offered many upgraded features. In this series, the Samsung added the 13-megapixel camera, IR blaster, 5.7-inch 1080p display, USB 3.0 connector(for faster charging and data connectivity), expanded stylus pen function, and included the ability of 4K video recording up to 5 minutes. The Galaxy Note Neo was released in January 2014, and it was the downgraded version of Galaxy Note 3. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo had come with 8 MP camera, 5.5-inch Super AMOLED HD 720p display, S-Pen stylus, Note 3's software, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage. The Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 Neo had sports some features for the first time, like as, the Samsung Exynos Hexa 5260(6 core) processor with HMP, Mali-T624 GPU, a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex A7 CPU and a dual-core 1.7 GHz Cortex A15 CPU.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was revealed on September 3, 2014, and on October 2014 this new model was introduced. Then, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 came with a 5.7-inch QHD display and offered the improved S-Pen stylus which was upgraded with digitizer 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity and expanded functionality. The Galaxy Note 4 offered the new look with plastic leather backing and metal frame design. The phone sports the 16 MP camera with OIS, fingerprint scanner, and many more features. The Smartphone packed with a 3,000mAh non-removable lithium battery for China and the 3,220mAh lithium-ion battery for global. The phone support Qi inductive charging. Because of these features, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was known as the true power-house during its time.
The Samsung Electronics introduced an Android phablet, which was disclosed as Youm concept. That surface as part of the Galaxy Note Edge, on 4th September 2014, alongside with the Galaxy Note 4. At Consumer Electronics Show, 2013, the Samsung give "Youm" concept prototypes for Smartphones, one prototype had a curved screen along with the right edge of the phone. In this new curved edge, the camera app offered additional buttons to minimize the clutter with the viewfinder and on the top usually, it displayed the notifications.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5's design, hardware, glass backing, metal frame, and other specifications were made on the base of Galaxy S9. The Galaxy Note 5 disclosed on 13th August 2015. This phone also sports the 5.7-inch 2560px1440p Quad HD Super AMOLED display, its "Screen off memo" feature offers the phone to be awoken directly to a note screen when the stylus is removed and its camera app allowed public and private live streaming directly to YouTube. The Galaxy Note 5 had come with Exynos 7 Octa 7420 chip, Octa-core 64-bit 14nm CPU, Mali-T760 MP8 GPU, 4Gb LPDDR4 memory and Android 5.1.1 "Lollipop" operating system. It offered a Fingerprint sensor, and its S-Pen adopted a feature, an auto-eject mechanism to mimic the click you get with a pen. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 support a non-removable 3,000 mAh lithium-ion battery that offered wireless charging which was also a brand new feature in Samsung Galaxy Note series.
On 2nd August 2016 the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was announced in a press event in New York City and it officially launched on 19th August 2016. This device was the first device from Samsung which support the USB-C connector. The Galaxy Note 7 offered its users– a 5.7-inch curved dual-edge (display is curved across the sides of the device) Super AMOLED screen, the higher degrees pressure sensitive stylus and a finer tip, an iris scanner for unlocking the phone, expandable storage, IP68 water resistance and Galaxy S7 based camera and processor. The Samsung had got reports from many users in August 2016, they claimed that the phone was overheating and even exploding. This happened for some manufacturing problems in internal batteries. The company issued a recall of the phone and offered to replace the Note 7 models which had been sold to customers with new units, and some of the replacement Note 7 models was started catching on fire. Samsung ended its production of Galaxy Note 7 in October and launched a full recall of all of the Note 7 phones which had been sold to customers, and who wanted to keep their Note 7 units, the company issued over-the-air software updates from which the phone was working as a cellular mobile device because over-the-air software updates would be prevented the phone from charging. The Samsung discovered in January 2017, that the first lot of Galaxy Note 7 had issued for a design flaw in the upper-right corner, that allowed the protective layer in the battery inside to become damaged and replacement Galaxy Note 7 lots were affected by "abnormally high welding bars" resulted in "direct contact with the negative electrode" in battery, the Samsung said that all of its feature phones would go through an eight-step battery test to make sure these kinds of design issues will not happen again. In July 2017, with this recall, the Samsung decided to release refurbished Note 7 models under the Galaxy Note Fan Edition branding, in select countries in Asia and these Galaxy Note 7 models came with smaller batteries.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 was announced on 23rd August 2017, and was available from 15th September 2017. This phone sports the biggest screen of Note series which is 6.32-inch 2,960×1,440 resolution Super AMOLED Infinity display with 18:5:9 same aspect ratio which was launched by the company for the Galaxy S8 series, earlier in 2018. If we compared the Galaxy Note 7 with Galaxy Note 8, we can see that the new model had the increased RAM of 6GB where Note 7 had 4GB RAM. The Galaxy Note 8 was the first phone from Samsung which support the dual rear camera setup (with 12MP sensors) – one with a wide angle lens and other with a telephone lens. The phone supported a weirdly positioned fingerprint scanner the placed to the right of the dual camera. The Galaxy Note 8 offered Snapdragon 835/Exynos 8895 processor (depending on location), IP68 dust and water resistance, an iris scanner and this phone was also the first in the Note series which had a dedicated Bixby button. The Galaxy Note 8 was the most expensive phone from Samsung that launched up to the point and it had came with $930 starting price.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 was unveiled on 9th August 2018 during its Unpacked press event and it was available from 24th August 2018. The Samsung improved so many features, and some of them we have seen in Galaxy Note 9, for example, the Galaxy Note 8 offered the larger 6.32-inch screen, but when the Galaxy Note 9 came it offered slightly larger screen from Galaxy Note 8, the screen measured 6.4-inch (Galaxy Note 9). There were also another changes we have seen like as the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 came with 128GB variant storage variant, with 6GB RAM, and the company announced for another 512GB variant with 8 GB RAM, and it (512GB) will support microSD card for additional storage. For battery comparison, Note 9 offered the bigger 4,000mAh battery, where the Note 8 offered 3,300mAh battery. The Galaxy Note 9 supports fast wireless/ wired charging, IP68 water, and dust resistance, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip, dual camera setup which was similar as Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus: a 12MP wide-angle sensor with f/1.5 and f/2.4 dual aperture and a 12MP telephoto sensor with the f/2.4 aperture for Bokeh effect at the back, the phone included AI software for improved photography.
The S-Pen came with new technology where users get the ability to operate and launch apps on the phone, it could control the camera that will last up to 200 clicks or 30 minutes on a single charge, you can also control slideshow, Youtube as remotely by the S-Pen and this S-Pen is Bluetooth enabled. This S-Pen takes only 40 seconds to fully charge the S-Pen's battery and battery up again when it placed back inside the Galaxy Note 9. This Galaxy Note 9 considered as the most precious phone in its Note series, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (128GB storage variant, 6GB RAM) priced at $999.99 (without a contract) and the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (512GB storage variant, 8 GB RAM) priced at $1,249.99 (without a contract).

How Extremophiles Work
by Jacob Silverman
Classifying Extremophiles
These artist's depictions of single-celled organisms fall in the Monera kingdom, home of prokaryotes.
Harnett/Hanzon/Getty Images
Every year, researchers discover and name thousands of new species. In recent years, microorganisms have formed an important part of this enormous growth in species discovery. More than 2 million species have been identified around the planet, but some experts speculate that 100 million or more may exist [source: Thompson].
But there's more to finding new species than naming and cataloging them. And for comparing living creatures, nothing beats a good classification system. The two most popular methods in use are the five kingdom and the three domain systems. Created in the late 1960s, the five kingdoms separate life into Monera, the kingdom of prokaryotes (cells lacking membrane-bound nuclei and organelles) that includes bacteria, as well as four eukaryotic (cells with membrane-bound nuclei and organelles) kingdoms: Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.
For a short while, the five kingdoms seemed to serve scientists well. But in the 1970s, a scientist named Carl Woese decided to classify organisms based on genetic differences rather than differences in visual appearance. When Woese began his classification efforts, he noticed that there were distinctions between some types of organisms that had been previously lumped together as bacteria because they were all prokaryotes. Woese found that bacteria and this other, previously unidentified group of organisms had likely split apart from a common ancestor billions of years ago. Thinking that these other organisms deserved their own category, he divided the Monera kingdom of prokaryotes into archaebacteria (later called archaea) and eubacteria. His third domain was reserved for eukarya. We'll explain those terms in a second.
Woese found that many archaea were extremophiles and considered this fact evidence of their ancient provenance ("archaea" means ancient). Archaea are a diverse group of organisms with their own unique type of rRNA, different from bacteria. (rRNA produces polypeptides, which help to form proteins.) In many cases, extremophile archaea have developed mechanisms relating to their cell membranes to protect them from hostile environments.
The second domain of eubacteria, meaning "true bacteria," are prokaryotes that developed more recently than archaea. These bacteria are the types that tend to get us sick.
Woese's broad third domain, eukaryota, covers anything that has a nucleus and can be subdivided into kingdoms like protista, fungi, plantae and animalia. Some eukaryotes also can do well in extreme environments.
Examining these classification methods can create some confusion and debate -- which system is better? -- but they can also illuminate some of the important differences between extremophiles and other organisms.
Before we look at a few of the environments extremophiles favor, here's a list of some additional names used to classify specific types of extremophiles:
Acidophile: likes acidic environments (low pH)
Alkaliphile: likes alkaline environments (high pH)
Anaerobic extremophile: thrives in areas without oxygen; some cannot grow where there is oxygen.
Cryophile: loves extremely cold temperatures
Piezophile/barophile: likes high pressures
Psychrophile: flourishes in low temperatures
Thermophile: does well in temperatures of 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) or higher
Hyperthermophile: blooms at temperatures of 176 degrees Fahrenheit (80 degrees Celsius) or higher
Xerophile: likes environments with little water
On the previous page, we mentioned halophiles and endoliths. There are also methanogens, some of which live in cows' intestines and produce methane as a byproduct. Toxitolerant extremophiles do well in highly toxic conditions, such as the radiation-charged area around the Chernobyl nuclear site.
Carl Woese has called classification systems "arbitrary" but acknowledged that they help to understand how living things relate to one another [source: The Why Files]

Kane Brown announces 'Mixtape Vol 1'
Buddy Iahn | August 10, 2020 | Country, Notable Releases
EP features four critically-acclaimed tracks released in 2020
This Friday, August 14th, Kane Brown will delight fans with the release of his seven-song collection entitled Mixtape Vol. 1 on RCA Nashville/Zone 4.
The new EP includes four critically-acclaimed tracks that Brown has released since the start of 2020, along with three previously unreleased songs. Kane Brown co-wrote each selection on Mixtape Vol. 1, his first multi-song project since his platinum-certified Billboard 200 chart-topping Experiment arrived in November 2018.
The 26-year-old singer-songwriter's EP leads with his two current singles, the Top 10-and-climbing country smash, "Cool Again," and Brown's recently-released Top 40 hit, "Be Like That," a collaboration with Swae Lee and Khalid. "Cool Again," which Billboard named "song of the summer," was the most-added country song its initial week of release with a career-high 103 stations onboard, and has become Brown's fastest rising single to date. And further increasing his career benchmarks, the entertainer achieved his biggest first week launch at Top 40 Radio when "Be Like That" was No. 1 most added with 103 stations.
Also included on the seven-song set which exemplifies Brown's "willingness to stretch boundaries and highly personal storytelling" (TIME) is his duet with John Legend, "Last Time I Say Sorry." Of the song the two co-wrote, People commented, "John Legend and Kane Brown are a musical force to be reckoned with." In April, shortly after the track's release, Brown and Legend made their national television performance debut of "Last Time I Say Sorry" on the CBS primetime special, ACM Presents: Our Country.
The Mixtape Vol. 1 selection "Worldwide Beautiful" was originally released on June 4th, two days after the music industry's sector-wide Blackout Tuesday. The ballad echoed with a message of acceptance and global peace, and it benefits Boys and Girls Club of America to advocate for justice and equality. Brown made the national television debut of "Worldwide Beautiful" at the 2020 BET Awards alongside Grammy-nominated gospel singer, Jonathan McReynolds.
"Worship You," "BFE" and "Didn't Know What Love Was" round out Brown's new EP. The three new tracks offer another glimpse into the global entertainer's singularly progressive sound and style, which Rolling Stone recently praised as a balance of "pop-leaning radio country, Randy Travis-inspired Nineties stylings, and pop-dominant R&B," as he continues to shape the next generation of country music.
