PHILADELPHIA (NewsNation Now) — Nevada and Pennsylvania have certified their election results on Tuesday, determining Democrat Joe Biden as the winner in both states.
The Nevada Supreme Court made Biden's win in the state official Tuesday morning, approving the final canvass of the Nov. 3 election.
The unanimous action by the seven nonpartisan justices sends to Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak results that will deliver six electoral votes from the western battleground state to Biden over Republican President Donald Trump.
Biden won by Nevada by 33,596 votes, according to results approved by elected officials in the state's 17 counties. Biden got 50.06% of the vote and Trump 47.67%.
Nevada carries six electoral votes.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf also announced on Twitter Tuesday morning that state officials certified the election results.
He said he signed the certificate of ascertainment for the slate of electors for the president-elect and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
The State Department said Wolf's "certificate of ascertainment" has been sent to the national archivist in Washington.
"Again, I want to thank the election officials who have administered a fair and free election during an incredibly challenging time in our commonwealth and country's history," Wolf said. "Our election workers have been under constant attack and they have performed admirably and honorably."
Pennsylvania, which carries 20 electoral votes, was a key battleground state and subject of Trump's legal attempts to invalidate the election results.
On Sunday, Trump appealed a federal judge's dismissal of his campaign's effort to block Pennsylvania's certification of votes.

Under Pennsylvania law, Biden claims all 20 of the state's Electoral College votes. The results show Biden and Harris with 3.46 million votes, Trump and Vice President Mike Pence with 3.38 million, and Libertarian Jo Jorgensen with 79,000.
Wolf's announcement comes a day after the General Services Administration cleared a path for the start of the official presidential transition process.
GSA Administrator Emily Murphy made the determination that Biden is the "apparent winner" on Monday, the same day that Michigan voted to certify its results showing Biden won the battleground state.

Trump also gave the GSA and his administration the green light to participate in the transition on Monday.
He wrote on Twitter that his campaign would keep fighting, but that he recommended the GSA move forward with the initial transition protocols "in the best interest of our Country."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — More Californians than ever are dying from the coronavirus -- a knee-bucking 525 every day — and with the number expected to keep climbing state officials said Friday they are sending more refrigerated trailers to act as makeshift morgues for overwhelmed county coroner's offices.
There are now 98 of the trailers to help county coroners store bodies "with respect and dignity," Office of Emergency Services Director Mark Ghilarducci said. In Los Angeles County, where on average a person dies every 6 minutes, temporary storage facilities have been set up in the parking lot adjacent to the coroner's office.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The National Rifle Association announced Friday it has filed for bankruptcy protection and will seek to incorporate the nation's most politically influential gun-rights group in Texas instead of New York, where a state lawsuit is trying to put the organization out of business.
The announcement came months after New York Attorney General Letitia James sued the NRA, seeking its dissolutionover claims that top executives illegally diverted tens of millions of dollars for lavish personal trips, no-show contracts for associates and other questionable expenditures.

STATECRAFT / discerned
ANALYZING VETTED SOURCES TO EXTRACT MEANING AND TRUTH FROM THE GEOPOLITICAL LANDSCAPE
THE FIGHT TO TRANSITION MUELLER'S FINDINGS INTO OPPOSITION RESEARCH - Trey Gowdy weighs-in on a fight worth fighting
Show me the man and I'll show you the crime. If you understand that, you understand all things Trump and Russia.
From the very beginning, we've been hounding one specific aspect of all things Russia, Trump and Mueller - the effort on the Left to transition the special counsel's investigation into opposition research for 2020. Another way to state that is the federal apparatus was weaponized in favor of one political candidate and deployed against that candidate's political opponent to influence a forthcoming election (recall that although the technical aspects of the surveillance on President Trump and his campaign predated the 2016 election, the narrative's story line was born out of Clinton's election night loss when Hillary was too drunk, too embarrassed or too afraid to concede publicly and therefore greasy swamp creature John Podesta addressed the American public in her questionable absence. A safe bet is that Hillary was all three - afraid, embarrassed and drunk.
It's critical to understand two significant underpinnings to the American justice system. The first principle introduced this article. Investigations are rightfully opened when there is existing evidence that a subject committed a crime; however, the Left has pursued President Trump with the full authority of the federal government and its intelligence and law enforcement apparatuses as it set-out in search of crimes absent any evidence whatsoever. What's worse, we've since learned that the evidence they did use was fraudulent and fabricated. This is entirely antithetical to the spirit of law enforcement in the American justice system and at a fundamental level, it's a direct attack on democracy.
As former Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-SC will outline below and as we have hammered home time and time again, the justice system operates in binary fashion - it either indicts and prosecutes or it does not. There is no middle ground and there is no gray area - period. If the decision to prosecute is made and indictments are issued, it's game-on and whatever is made public through discovery or other processes is not only fair game; it's well within the legal parameters governing such sensitive information about an American citizen who was the subject of a criminal investigation moving to trial.
To the contrary, sans any indictments or prosecution, the state is obligated to protect and keep confidential any and all evidence, underlying or otherwise, about any American citizen; the president included. Again and despite the clamoring from both sides, in no way should the underlying evidence in Mueller's investigation be made public outside of AG William Barr's authority to release what he believes to be prudent. Barr and only Barr is the statutorily designated recipient of Mueller's report and Barr and only Barr can and should decide what the public will learn from that report. That's the way the system is designed to work and that's the way it should work.
It matters not that the subject is the President of the United States. In America, the same laws, morals and ethics that apply to him apply to us all. Case in point - if you found yourself in the cross-hairs of some of the most powerful and authoritative institutions on this planet and you were falsely and wrongly accused of committing criminal acts; and those same institutions found insufficient evidence to prosecute you because you committed no such acts, would you want all of your personal, private and dirty laundry (and we all have it!) that was collected, detailed and archived aired-out for the entire country to see? Nope. None of us would and the president is no different.
Simply stated, one isn't allowed to make stuff up, sic the federal government on someone and then publicize all of the findings. Again, this is nothing more than a rogue attempt from a rogue collection of lawmakers to convert the Mueller report into opposition research and we should all be fighting tooth and nail to keep it from happening.
Enjoy Mr. Gowdy's interview.

DIRECT NEXUS BETWEEN MUELLER, MIFSUD AND RUSSIA - ZAINAB AHMAD BRIDGES THE GAP - Extensive timeline provides compelling picture
A day ago, this page compiled a rudimentary timeline reflecting a logical chronology that suggests the September 2016 Halper-Papadopoulos meeting may have been the precise moment that the 'Russia' seed was sown into the Trump campaign explicitly for ongoing surveillance to capture the "evidence" in support of its FISA warrant application to spy on Carter Page. That full discussion is here (https://gab.com/Statecraft_Discerned/posts/49390724 ) and it's recommended for proper context.
Further developments emerging today allow us to update our timeline with both old and new information to provide a more complete picture.
Augmented timeline:

INCREDIBLE REMARKS FROM DAG ROD ROSENSTEIN - DELIVERS SPEECH AT WHARTON - LET'S READ BETWEEN THE LINES!
Thursday in Philadelphia, DAG Rod Rosenstein, who is departing the DOJ mid-March, delivered a speech at Penn in the Wharton School's Legal Studies and Business Ethics Series. If you've been following Mr. Rosenstein - and I bet you have - his remarks are incredible; especially given the current geopolitical landscape and when attempting to read between the lines he delivered. It's a lengthy speech so I've pulled the relevant excerpts for you. The entire speech follows the discussion along with the sourced DOJ link. Let's get to it.
1. "I mention the Constitution in almost every speech. It is not just the words that matter. The history and context matter."
Right from the get-go! Is he telling us that his character is rooted in the Constitution and that his actions align accordingly? Or is that the first bucket of water to be bailed out of his boat?

EXAMINING 'WHITE NATIONALISM' AS A CAMPAIGN STRATEGY FOR 2020 - Because that's precisely what it is
*Updated to include the first paragraph and a link to Part II/the supporting evidence.
The information presented below and in Part II, where we discuss the evidence to support these general claims (here: https://www.statecraftdiscerned.com/2019/03/evidence-of-white-nationalism-serving.html), should be viewed through the lens of what it looks like to see the process of establishing pretext play-out in real time. All of these actions are designed to serve a future purpose and namely, the preexisting justification to portray the President of the United States as something he most certainly is not in what will amount to an historic election.
Let's place some cards of concession on the table before we even start. Despite elements of stupidity woven throughout the fabric of the Left's unsavory and criminal acts targeting President Trump, his campaign, his family, his busi…

What Does the 2021 Metro Phoenix Concert Calendar Look Like?
The Lost Leaf Closes Down Temporarily, Plus More Phoenix Music News
Matt Anderson, What Are You Listening To?
Nicki Escudero
Nicki Escudero | January 4, 2013 | 5:00am
The local comedian performs at Monkey Pants Bar and Grill at 8:30 pm, Thursday, January 31. Follow him on Twitter @MattAnd3rson.
When you put your key in the ignition, what station would play right now? I am an FM guy because I'm the poorest of them all. So, probably between 94.5 KOOL-FM or 106.7 KWSS-FM Independent Radio.
What's the last song played on your portable music player? You're not going to believe this, but I don't have one. I used to have an iPod, but it broke like everything else nice I've owned. I bet it was something really dumb though, like Raphy.
What's the first album you bought? I think it would be Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park. I was a troubled half-angry youth that loved those tunes. Just kidding, I was introduced to them on a Boy Scout trip, and then I went out and bought the CD the next week.
What's the first concert you saw? Switchfoot! The band sang that song from A Walk to Remember and we wept and wept and wept. I dare you to move!
What's your favorite concert you've ever been to? Lollapalooza '09! Crystal Castles, Peter, Bjorn, & John, and Animal Collective were the highlights. Sunburn was the lowlight.
Preferred format: CD, vinyl, cassette, 8-Track or digital? Digital -- you can't fight technology. But, you can't scratch a .wav file. I dunno, I feel like I'd be too retro/hipster if I had a record player.
What's your favorite album? Right now, it's got to be Synthetica, Metric. The whole album is good top to bottom. I've listened to the entire album like five or six times in the last week.
Who is your favorite singer or band? Are we factoring in looks? Because John Mayer -- just 'cause he's a beast. Man crush. If we're not factoring in looks, I'm going with John Mayer because he plays so well live.
Does you computer track how many times you've played something -- if so, what's at the top of the list? "I'm on a Boat," The Lonely Island.
What was your favorite new or new-to-you album from the past year? Watch the Throne, Kanye West and Jay-Z. I hadn't been paying attention to them at all, so this album was pretty sweet even though it's a year old.
What band do you wish was still together? The Beatles or Nirvana. Let's bring somebody back from the dead with this wish.
What one song would you play if you had a world-wide radio audience? Lots of pressure here, so I'll go with a trusted one. "Let it Be," by The Beatles.
Who is your favorite local artist? Darkness Dear Boy. They're sounding pretty funky.
What is your favorite local venue to see music? The Yucca Tap Room is within walking distance from my house, so it all works out perfectly when I go out drinking and want to listen to music.
What is your favorite music video? This stop motion video is pretty beautiful. "Her Morning Elegance," Oren Lavie.

Q: Selenium webdriver. Help draw up a loop with if else When I do:
if (driver.FindElementByXPath("//android.widget.RelativeLayout[contains(@resource-id, 'rl_ali_sign_in_btn')]").size()>0)
else {}

I receive:
OpenQA.Selenium.IWebElement "does not contain a definition for the" size "

I need to check the existence of the element and if it exists then do an action

A: That's because findElementByXPath() doesn't return a List but a WebElement. What you need to use is findElementsByXPath() (elements, not element).

Europa – Four Swiss cities among Europe's top ten for cocaine consumption
The data is part of the latest wastewater analysis study produced by the EU drugs agency EMCDDA and the sewage analysis group SCORE.
Results are based on the analysis of wastewater in 73 cities in 20 European countries over a one-week period in March 2018 as part of a bid to establish the drug-taking habits of residents.
The figures show an overall European-wide increase in traces of cocaine in wastewater in line with the trend seen in 2017 results.
They also show that Swiss cities continue to have remarkably high levels of cocaine use, although these cities do not appear quite as high in the rankings as last year.
In Swiss cities the consumption of cocaine and ecstasy certainly appear to have remained at a high level. This is shown by new wastewater data. The analyses and evaluations of the wastewater in Switzerland were conducted by the @unil and #Eawag. https://t.co/jkgfGK5qKb
— Eawag (@EawagResearch) March 14, 2019
Zurich ranked third in terms of daily use in the latest ranking – one place down on last year and now behind Bristol and Amsterdam.
Meanwhile, St Gallen in eastern Switzerland ranked sixth (two places lower than last year), Geneva came seventh (also two places lower) and Basel was ninth (down one place).
The Swiss capital of Bern was in 11th place, against ninth last year.

Switzerland also continues to rank highly for ecstasy use with Zurich (3rd), St Gallen (7th) and Geneva (8th) all in top ten for daily use, according to wastewater analysis.
Discussing the importance of the findings, the EMCDDA notes that while "no single measure can provide a full picture of the drug situation", wastewater analysis is a valuable part of the toolkit when it comes to establishing a picture of drug-taking habits.
The agency notes this wastewater analysis is positive in that it sidesteps the bias of drug user surveys. On the hand, it is limited in that it cannot provide information on factors like prevalence and frequency of use, the numbers of users, the types of user and the purity of the drugs being taken.
'About the same price as a cinema ticket'
A separate study published last year based on an extrapolation from cocaine consumption in the canton of Vaud suggested around five tonnes of cocaine is consumed in Switzerland every year. That is 13.7kg a day.
Franck Zobel, the deputy director of Addiction Suisse – one of the organisations behind that study – noted that cocaine had fallen in price from 300 to 500 Swiss francs a gram in the 1990s to around 100 francs (€88). This had made it accessible in price to far more people.
"Cocaine isn't expensive. A line, whether it's 0.1 or 0.2 grams, comes in at about 15 to 20 Swiss francs, or about the same as a cinema ticket," said Zobel.
The median wage in Zurich in 2016 was 7,820 francs, figures released late last year show.

In commission of International Hotel Capital Partners, Mulderblauw made the design for the new-build hotel Renaissance Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. The 250-key hotel is located adjacent to the Amsterdam Forest and as the name alludes, nearby Schiphol Airport.
Renaissance Hotels is a lifestyle brand of the Marriott chain, that focuses on business travellers who are eager to discover local experiences during their stay. Storytelling is key to generate a layered, meaningful and unique stay. The public area includes a destination fine dining restaurant and cocktail bar, various meeting facilities, and a 24-hour gym.
The architectural design features a composition of stepped volumes that builds up to six layers and encloses a central courtyard. The façade is clad with a light mixed coloured masonry, that has a rigid structure and a varied relief. The windows of the hotel rooms are accentuated by brass side panels, decorated with an abstract pattern of leaves. This pattern is a subtle reference to the adjacent Amsterdam Forest.
The entrance is emphasized by a double height ceiling, providing an open and welcoming atmosphere. The public areas are visually and physically connected by a 'street' where the dropped ceiling adds intimacy to the stretched, open space. Restaurant, bar, reception, meeting facilities and the elevators to the room floors can all be found on this street.
'De Stijl', an artistic movement that influenced designers world wide with Piet Mondriaan as the most well known artist. 1917 – 1931.
Upon entry, guests are embraced by the serene feeling of a walk through the forest. The use of wood and a dark green colour palette combined with brass accents, results in an inviting and serene atmosphere. The mix of the three themes creates an unexpected richness in the interior design. Moreover, the unique design reflects the history and the present of the location resulting in a strong sense of place.
The three themes come to life in finishes, furniture, artwork and lighting. Striking line patterns and intriguing graphic elements are integrated in wallpapers, headboards and artwork. Internal signage, inspired by typography from the 1930's, guides guests to their desired destination. Random beams of light in the corridors mimic the play of light in a dark forest. The rooms offer plenty of daylight, a view on the woods and are contemporary and luxuriously furnished, providing guests with a unique and expressive 'home away from home'.

If I took a survey asking writers what the most important elements of fiction were, I'd probably end up with a few consistent answers—plot, characters, dialogue, showing rather than telling.
We might not automatically think of including internal dialogue on the list, but we should.
Internal dialogue is the heartbeat of fiction. It serves practical purposes, like helping us control our pacing, but it serves deeper, more subtle roles as well. Without enough internal dialogue or without strong internal dialogue, our fiction can end up confusing and emotionless. We have people randomly acting, like we're watching a TV show without any sound.
Unfortunately, too much internal dialogue or poor internal dialogue can make our fiction feel immature, slow, or claustrophobic.
So to help you develop the right kind of internal dialogue, I wanted to share a few of my favorite ways to make sure my internal dialogue is enhancing my story rather than detracting from it.
If you'd like to read the rest of this post, please swing by Writers in the Storm where I'm guest posting about internal dialogue!

The Year Of Messiah's Birth
Biblical Prophecy Studies: Messiah's Birth
4 B.C. or 2 B.C.? The Historical Evidence!
It is not generally realized that most of the Christian writers before A.D. 500 believed that Yahushuah was born in 2 B.C. Superficially, they appear to be in hopeless disagreement, but when their statements are examined more carefully, it will be found that the discrepancies depend entirely on how each writer reckoned the regnal years of the Roman emperor Augustus.
Tertullian is representative of an early group of writers who place the birth of Yahushuah in the forty-first year of Augustus. In his Answer to the Jews, written about A.D. 198, he made a number of statements which leave no doubt as to what he meant by the forty-first year of Augustus. He says,
'Cleopatra reigned jointly with Augustus... 13 years
After Cleopatra's death Augustus reigned... 43 years
for all the years of the reign of Augustus were... 56 years.'
The relevant dates for the reign of Augustus are known from Roman history with absolute certainty. Julius Caesar, assassinated on 14 March 44 B.C., had nominated Octavius, later called Augustus, as his adopted son and successor. Octavius, however, did not immediately come to power, for Antony at once took charge of the affairs of state, and it was not until early in the following year, 43 B.C., that Octavius received any authority at all. Even then he did not become equal with Antony until he was appointed consul on 19 August. He died exactly fifty-six years later, on 19 August A.D. 14. Since Tertullian gives him a reign of fifty-six years, he evidently took 19 August 43 B.C., as the date of his accession.
Regarding the birth of Yahushuah, Tertullian says, "When Augustus had been reigning for twenty-eight years after the death of Cleopatra, Christ was born., and the same Augustus survived after Christ was born fifteen years; and the remaining times of years to the day of the birth of Christ bring us to the forty-first year, which is the 28th of Augustus after the death of Cleopatra." Now Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide in August 30 B.C., after which Augustus, having already reigned thirteen years over Egypt jointly with Cleopatra, became sole ruler until his death forty-three years later. Tertullian divides these forty-three years into twenty-eight until the birth of Yahushuah, and fifteen years from the birth of Yahushuah until the death of Augustus. This places the birth of Messiah at the end of the forty-first year of Augustus; counting from his accession in August, 43, that is at about August 2 B.C. All Tertullian's statements harmonize perfectly with Roman history, which leads to the conclusion that he was sure of his facts, and knew when Yahushuah was born.
Other Christian writers who lived about the same time give the same date. Irenaeus, about A.D. 180, wrote "Our Lord was born about the forty-first year of the reign of Augustus." Origen, early in the following century, said that Yahushuah was born in the forty-first year of Caesar Augustus, that Augustus reigned fifty-six years, and that after the birth of Yahushuah there remained fifteen years of his reign. His figures are evidently the same as those of Tertullian, and lead to the same result, namely that Messiah was born about August, 2 B.C.
Clement of Alexandria said that "Our Lord was born in the twenty-eighth year, when the first census was ordered to be taken in the reign of Augustus." Clement, since he lived in Egypt, naturally reckoned the sole reign of Augustus from the death of Cleopatra, and so gives the twenty-eighth year instead of the forty-first.
Julius Africanus, in the first half of the third century, published his Chronographies, in which he said that the number of years from the creation of Adam to the birth of the Saviour was 5500. Whatever may be thought of the earlier part of this work, the latter part, from the time of Cyrus onwards, can be correlated with the Greek calendar, so that the year 5500 from Adam corresponded with the 2nd year of the 194th Olympiad. Since Greek years began on 1 July, the Olympiad year 194, was the year that ended 30th June, 2 B.C. But since Africanus was writing in Palestine, he probably used the Jewish calendar in which the year ended three months later. His date for the birth of Messiah, therefore, would be before October in 2 B.C., agreeing closely with that of Tertullian.
Hippolytus of Rome, another chronologist of the same period, gave a similar result, but in his scheme Adam was created two years earlier, so he says Yahushuah was born 5502 years from Adam.
Eusebius, one of the greatest authorities on church history and chronology, was the first to place the birth of Messiah in the forty-second year of Augustus. However, in this context he said that Augustus reigned fifty-seven years, not fifty-six, which shows that he placed his accession one year earlier. This is confirmed by the fact that he still placed the birth of Messiah twenty-eight years after the death of Cleopatra. Thus he says, "It was, then, in the 42nd year of the reign of Augustus, and the 28th year after the submission of Egypt and the death of Antony and Cleopatra . . . when our Saviour and Lord . . . was born." Thus the date is once more the same as that given by Tertullian.
In his Chronicle, Eusebius gives Augustus a reign of fifty-six years and six months, thus placing his accession about February, 43 B.C. It was about that time that the young Octavius had first been given a measure of authority by the Roman Senate. The Chronicle places the birth of Yahushuah in the 42nd year of Augustus, and this is equated with the third year of the 194th Olympiad; that is, the year beginning in July, 2 B.C.
Epiphanius, a few decades later than Eusebius, agreed with him that Augustus reigned fifty-six years and six months, and so he says that Messiah was born in the 42nd year, which would have begun about February 2 B.C. To clinch matters, he elsewhere dates the Epiphany of Yahshua in official Roman terms, saying that it was in January of the year in which the consuls were Octavius for the thirteenth time, and Silvanus; this was January 2 B.C. By Epiphany he probably meant conception at the time of the Annunciation by the angel to Mary, which is nine months before the actual birth.
Apollinarius of Laodicea, a contemporary of Epiphanius, said that from the birth of Yahushuah to the eighth year of Claudius Caesar was forty-nine years. Claudius became emperor on 25 January, A.D. 41, so that his eighth year began in January, 48. It follows that, according to Apollinarius, Yahushuah was born in the year beginning January, 2 B.C.
Finally we come to Orosius who compiled a popular history of the world down to the year A.D. 417. He placed the birth of Yahushuah towards the end of the 42nd year of Augustus (VII,2), and elsewhere expressed this date in the conventional terms of Roman times, namely 752 years from the founding of the city of Rome. The year 752 A.U.C. (ab urbe condita) is equivalent to 2 B.C.
Thus there were, before the year 500, no less than ten Christian witnesses who agreed on the year in which Yahushuah was born. Now it might be argued that by no means all these writers can be considered as reliable chronologists; in fact, they disagree widely on other important dates such as that of the Crucifixion. But that only makes their agreement on the birth of Yahushuah the more remarkable, in fact so much so that it demands an explanation. Since they express the date in a variety of different terms, such as regnal years, or A.U.C., it does not look as if they were copying from one another. It suggests that there must have been a common source available to all of them, and this may well have been the record of the census filed in the archives of Rome.
There can be little doubt that this documentary evidence was actually available for inspection in the second century, for Justin Martyr, in presenting his First Apology to the Jews, said that according to Micah 5:2 the Messiah was to be born in Bethlehem. "Now this Bethlehem," he went on, "is a place in Judaea, thirty-five stadia distant from Jerusalem, in which Jesus was born; which you can confirm for yourselves from the census records which were prepared under Cyrenius." His argument would have carried no weight at all, if no such census record was to be found. Tertullian, likewise, referred to Yahushuah's enrollment in the census of Augustus--that most faithful witness of our Savior's nativity, kept in the archives of Rome .'
This documentary evidence appears to have been well known to Orosius early in the fifth century. He said that "It was also in this year (752 A.U.C.) when God had deigned to assume the appearance and nature of man, that this same Caesar . . . for the first time ordered a census to be taken of each and every province, and that all men should be enrolled. In these days, then, Christ was born and His name was entered in the Roman census list immediately after His birth. This is that earliest and most famous acknowledgment, which designated Caesar first of all men, and Romans lords of the world; for in the census list all men were entered individually, and in it the Maker of all men wished to be found and enrolled as a man among men." VI, 32).
The description of the census as "this earliest and most famous" record of the Incarnation, suggests that its existence in the archives of Rome was still well known among Christians, but it may well have been destroyed when the Goths sacked Rome in A.D. 410. By the end of the sixth century its existence seems to have been forgotten, for Orosius was the last to make mention of it.
The "year of the Lord," or Annus Domini, was first used for dating historical events by the Venerable Bede in his Ecclesiastical History of Britain, completed in the year 731. This custom was soon carried to Gaul by British missionaries, and has since become normal usage in most parts of the world. Bede based his A.D. dates on a set of Easter tables that gave the date for Easter Sunday in each year. He had compiled these tables himself by extending some existing tables originally compiled in 525 by a Roman monk or abbot named Dionnysius Exiguus (Denis the Little). These covered the period 532-626, and had meanwhile been extended by another abbot from 627-721. They had been brought to Britain by Wilfred who foisted the Roman Easter on the British church at the Synod of Whitby in 664.
In the original table covering 95 years (or five Metonis cycles of 19 years), Dionysius had numbered the years from 532 to 626 for the first time 'from the Incarnation.' Previously other Easter tables had been in use; one, that of Victorius drawn up in Rome, numbered the years from the Passion, or Crucifixion of Messiah, erroneously assumed to have been in A.D. 28. Another, compiled by Cyril of Alexandria, numbered the years from the accession of the emperor Diocletian. Dionysius, although otherwise following the Alexandrian rule for finding Easter, and beginning from where the Alexandrian table ended, was unwilling to perpetuate the name of Diocletian, the great persecutor of Christians, so he numbered the years in his new tables "from the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Unfortunately Dionysius left no explanation of how, or on what grounds, he had determined the date of the Incarnation. In whatever manner Dionysius arrived at the date of the Incarnation, he must have made an error by making assumptions for which no support can be found in historical records. The starting date of the commonly used Christian era appears, therefore, to have been founded on nothing better than tradition, superstition, or error, and it has long since been rejected by all responsible historians.
The considerable evidence presented on this subject was painstakingly researched by the late Rev. W.E. Filmer over many years. Other scholars, as well, have reached a similar conclusion. The fall, 2 B.C., date for the birth of Messiah, plus 33-1/2 years for his lifetime, gives us Spring Passover, 33 A.D., as the year of the Crucifixion. (When calculating total time, subtract one year from the sum of the A.D. and B.C. dates, as there is no year zero in calendar dating.) This ties in with the Old Testament prophecy of Daniel's Seventy Weeks, an exact 490 year period (70 times 7 years) which ran from Spring, 458 B.C. to Spring 33 A.D. (Please note that there is no "Seventieth Week of Daniel" floating off to the unknown future as some cults teach.) These facts provide proof that Yahushuah did indeed embody the Old Testament prophecies of a coming Messiah, even down to the exact year of fulfillment. (See our separate study, "The Seventy Weeks Prophecy," which provides additional Scriptural evidence concerning Messiah in prophecy.

You Could Be an Olympic Champion, If You Have the Right Birthday
You or your kid could be destined for athletic greatness, as long as you were conceived in one of these months
By Liam Boylan-Pett
Many parents spend a lot of time and money so that their children can be good at sports. There might be a shortcut, however. It just takes some family planning.
According to a study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine, a child conceived in early winter is more physically fit and stronger than his or her peers.
Dr. Gavin Sandercook, a clinical physiologist at the University of Essex in the UK, led a group of researchers who tested nearly 9,000 boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 16 on tasks of strength, stamina, and cardiovascular fitness. The children born in September, October, and November were the best performers, by a long shot. Children born in May, June, and July were the least advanced group.
Why? The researchers say it's because of the mothers' greater exposure to Vitamin D at the end of pregnancy. Vitamin D—one of the 5 Nutrients You're Not Getting Enough Of—has been shown to have a positive effect on athletes and is linked to bone stimulus and muscle growth. Meaning that the children born in the late summer and early fall (in the northern hemisphere) were given an athletic head start.
While it may be an advantage to be conceived during the winter, the benefit eventually runs out. The truly talented athletes, who end up being professionals in their field, turn out to be amazing athletes regardless of their birth month.
Looking at the top five finishers at the 2012 Olympic Trials in events ranging from the 1500 meters on up, the runner's birth month proved to be mostly insignificant. In fact, if there was a month that's best to be born in, it's March.
Of the 46 athletes who placed in the top five (Shalane Flanagan, Amy Hastings, Galen Rupp and Dathan Ritzenhein all placed in the top five in two different events), nine were born in March, while five each were born in May, August, September and October.
Genetics are certainly as important as birth month for runners, which is why Colt Goucher, son of Kara and Adam Goucher, might be in luck.
Also, he was born in September.
And it doesn't end with fitness. When you were born could predict everything from food allergies to your socioeconomic disadvantages. Find out What Your Birth Month Says About You.

What Is the Best City for Job Seekers?
What's the best city in the US for job seekers?
It's a difficult question to answer. After all, every job seeker is unique: For some, there's no place like home, while for others the grass may always be greener elsewhere. That said, there are several key considerations most of us would agree are important, and today more data than ever is available to help us understand just how these factors combine to make a city stand out as a great place to live and work.
So what is the best city for job seekers? To find out, we asked four questions:
How favorable is the local labor market to the job seeker?
What's the average salary, once adjusted for cost of living?
How high do employers score for work-life balance in Indeed's review database?
How high do employers score for job security and advancement opportunities in Indeed's review database?
After analyzing the data for the 50 metro areas with the most postings on Indeed, we calculated a percentile score for each key consideration. Next, our data science team did some serious number crunching, allowing us to synthesize all these results into a single Indeed City Score. The result? Indeed's first ever list of best cities for job seekers.
Keep on the sunny side — southern metros dominate the best cities list
Here's some good news for job seekers: Blue skies are common in our best cities list. Florida is home to three cities in the top ten, including first place Miami, second place Orlando and seventh place Jacksonville. We also see two cities from Texas (Austin, Houston), three from California (Sacramento, San Jose, San Diego) as well as Raleigh, North Carolina and Memphis, Tennessee. In fact, all of the top 15 metros on the list are in the south and west regions of the country.
This strong showing for the Sun Belt is particularly interesting when viewed in the light of census data, which shows that this region is home to many of the fastest growing cities in the nation. As Indeed Senior VP Paul D'Arcy observes: "The Sun Belt continues to be a region of high-growth and opportunity as companies and workers alike have moved toward strong job markets."
It's not all blue skies and hot climes, however: our list of best cities also has some options for those who prefer a cooler climate. For instance, rainy Seattle places 17th with a particularly strong performance for salary, while in the Northeast, Hartford, Connecticut comes 18th, and Providence, Rhode Island places 21st.
In the table below we highlight the top 25 best cities in the US for job seekers. Job seeker favorability reflects the degree of "mismatch" — where the ratio of job postings from employers to clicks from candidates is in favor of the latter, while the other criteria are self-explanatory. The percentile scores show how the cities stack up against each other (for example, 80th percentile means a city scored better than 80 percent of its competitors) while the Indeed City Score sums up each metro's overall performance. After the table, we take a closer look at the top cities.
Spotlighting the cities
Miami, FL has the highest ranking overall for work-life balance and job security and advancement, and a strong showing for job market favorability, scoring better than most of the other cities on the list. There is a downside, however — a dollar doesn't stretch as far as in most of the other cities we looked at.
Major employers with headquarters or regional centers in Miami include cruise line giant Carnival and home building firm Lennar. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the biggest major industry is trade, transport and utilities, followed by professional and business services. Job seekers with skills in these areas, take note!
Orlando, FL outperforms 98% of other cities (including Miami) for job market favorability, and also has some of the highest scores for work-life balance and job security and advancement. However, it shares the same drawback as Miami — a dollar doesn't go quite as far here as in many of our other cities.
For many, Orlando will conjure up images of theme parks and resorts, and according to the BLS, the city's biggest industry is leisure and hospitality. It should be no surprise, then, that The Walt Disney Company and restaurant chain operator Darden both have a significant presence in the area. Even so, the second largest industry is trade (followed by transport), so opportunities are diverse.
Raleigh, NC has the friendliest labor market for job seekers of all the cities on the list, and also performs well salary-wise. In fact, the city's strong showing in these areas does a lot to lift the overall score and compensate for weaker rankings when it comes to work life balance and job advancement and security.
Major employers with a significant presence here include Duke University and Health System and IBM. BLS data, meanwhile, shows that the biggest employer is professional services and business.
Austin, TX was the fastest growing metro in the nation between 2011 and 2014, according to census data. Here scores were strongest for job market favorability and work life balance, and it is the first city in our list to land above the fiftieth percentile for each measure.
Austin is a major tech hub, and firms including Apple, Dell and — yes — Indeed all have headquarters or major regional offices here. Even so, the city is also the Texas state capitol and government remains Austin's biggest major industry, according to BLS data.
Sacramento, CA is the highest-placing city from the Golden State. This may be surprising to some, as there are considerably fewer "unicorns" located here than in San Jose or San Francisco — but it performs well across all our measures, while scoring particularly highly for work-life balance and salary.
As the state capitol, the major industry here is government — in fact, this accounts for nearly 25% of all employment in Sacramento! That said, it is also a regional center for a diverse array of companies, ranging from tech giant Intel to publishing firm The McClatchy Company.
Who's missing?
Strikingly absent from the list are the great metropolises of New York and Chicago, as well as cities from the manufacturing-heavy Midwest. This also chimes with recent census data that shows people are staying away from the places that in previous decades provided opportunities to so many.
In fact, in recent years big cities such as Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Buffalo — also missing from our list — have actually experienced slight drops in population. Nor do we see cities such as St. Louis or Milwaukee, where the population is more or less standing still. That said, Memphis hasn't seen much growth either, but it still makes our top ten.
As Indeed Senior VP Paul D'Arcy observes, "Manufacturing jobs have steadily declined over the years and haven't shown promise for career growth like a generation ago." As a result, the states where they used to be concentrated "are working to diversify their economy to attract workers and keep talent in their state."
So yesterday's best city for people in search of opportunities is not today's — and over time, this list too will change. But in 2017, these are Indeed's best cities for job seekers in the United States.
In our best cities analysis we ranked the 50 metro areas with the most job postings on Indeed based on their performance across four different indicators: job market favorability, salary, work life balance, and job security and advancement. Job market favorability is the ratio of the share of US job seekers who clicked on a job posting in each metro area / the share of US job postings in each metro area. The smaller the ratio the more favorable the job market is for job seekers. Salaries were calculated by finding the unweighted average salary for a bucket of job titles based on salaries attached to indeed job posting. We then adjusted these salaries to account for cost of living differences using BEA's regional price parities which allows for a more fair comparison across metro areas. The work life balance and job security and advancement scores are both based on average review scores that job seekers submitted while reviewing their workplaces on Indeed's company pages.
To bring all four measures together into one score we calculated the standard score (sc= (x-mean)/standard_dev) for each measure. This normalized the data so we could then sum the standard scores for each of the four variables and end up with one value for each city. Finally, we rescaled the final values from 0-100 where the mean value equates to 50 for easier comprehension of the dataset.

Pete Enns & The Bible for Normal People
What Do You Get When You Combine Academics and Game of Thrones? an Interview with Anthony Le Donne
Pete Enns, Ph.D.
Peter Enns (Ph.D., Harvard University) is Abram S. Clemens professor of biblical studies at Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania. He has written numerous books, including The Bible Tells Me So, The Sin of Certainty, and How the Bible Actually Works. Tweets at @peteenns.
Today's post is an interview with Anthony Le Donne on his new book, Gods of Thrones: A Pilgrim's Guide to the Religions of Ice and Fire. Le Donne (PhD, Durham) is Associate Professor of New Testament at United Theological Seminary. He is also the author/editor of seven books including Historical Jesus: What Can We Know and How Can We Know It?
and The Wife of Jesus: Ancient Texts and Modern Scandals
. He is the co-founder of the Jewish-Christian Dialogue and Sacred Texts Consultation at the Society for Biblical Literature and the executive editor of the Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus.
Anthony, my readers are no-nonsense people. Can you provide them with a no-nonsense description of your latest book?
Feel free to do so now.
Gods of Thrones is for fans of George R. R. Martin's fantasy, Game of Thrones and its HBO adaptation. It explains the fictional gods, religions, and cultures by comparing them to the real-world worship of the ancient near east, medieval superstitions, and popular mythology. My co-author and I include basic descriptions of the tree spirits and fire gods of Martin's world. But we also include sections on real-world henotheism, suzerain-vassal treaties, human sacrifice, etc.
There was a little bit of nonsense in there. But we'll give you a passing grade.
Thanks. I always try to season my academic interests with a little bit of nonsense. Helps the medicine go down.
So this is an academic book?
Yes. At its most basic, it's a work of comparative religion. It's definitely a pop-culture entry point and we don't take ourselves too seriously. But we think that understanding, for example, why blood had divine currency in the ancient world will help explain some of the religious rituals in the show. We also do character studies. For example, we introduce Durkheim's theory of religion by comparing Ned Stark and Tywin Lannister. And we see how Jaime measures up against Nietzsche's Übermensch morality.
So understanding the history and philosophy of religion will help people appreciate what's going on in the show?
Exactly. My favorite example is Tyrion. Game of Thrones is a fantasy that likes to play with fantasy tropes. With Tyrion, we're getting Martin's take on the old greedy and self-interested dwarf. This is a trope that you'll find in Norse mythology. But it's echoed in Tolkien, Lewis, and (most recently) Marvel's Infinity War. But Tyrion is a subversion of the trope. He's not a "dwarf" in the fantasy sense. Tyrion is dealing with a unique disability in a world that thinks that disability is proof of divine punishment. In academic speak, we're basically talking about physiognomy.
I think Tyrion is almost everyone's favorite character. Say more about physiognomy. Are you saying that Tyrion's disability makes him a pariah?
Right. Many people in the medieval and ancient worlds would have assumed that physical abnormality told you something about a person's character. Martin based Tyrion (loosely) on Richard III. Richard—according to Tudor propaganda—was deformed and this revealed his deep-seated immorality. He gets accused of plotting the murder of two children of noble birth. To the medieval mind, physical abnormality didn't make you a murderer, but it made you suspicious. You would have been seen as someone inclined to commit evil. This is exactly what happens to Tyrion. Almost everyone assumes that Tyrion is rotten to the core. So this becomes Tyrion's reality. He eventually starts to lean into his reputation.
This is obviously relevant to the question asked of Jesus in John 9, "Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" The assumption here is that being blind was divine punishment in some way.
Perfect example. In ancient physiognomy, the eyes weren't just windows to the soul, they projected the virtue (or lack thereof) of the soul. So if a guy was born blind, it probably told you something about how the gods have judged him or his parents. In the books, Tyrion isn't blind but he has mismatched eyes: one is green and one is black. From a physiognomic perspective, this would be proof that Tyrion is capable of dirty deeds, done dirt cheap. George Martin once said in an interview that Tyrion's physicality is proof that he is "hated by the gods." This is a very ancient form of prejudice and Martin captures it tragically.
Tyrion isn't all that religious. So where does he fit in a book about the religions of Westeros?
Because there are so many religions in Martin's world, this is a two-volume project. In volume one, we have a chapter titled "The Faithless and the Hound." Lots of Tyrion in that chapter. In volume two, we have a chapter on the dragon cult. This is mostly about Dany and her Targaryen lineage. But we include Tyrion in that chapter too because he seems primed to convert to Dany's cult-of-personality.
What is the break down of topics between volumes 1 and 2?
Volume 1 covers the animism of the North, the relationship between religion and patriarchy, the religion of the "Lord of Light," the Faith of the Seven, demigods, messiahs, and skeptics. Volume 2 covers the Night's Watch, Arya's conversion to death worship, the dragon cult, the Drowned God, Dothraki religion, etc. We also do a bit of postcolonial and feminist critique just for fun.
Sounds like a ton of fun. Well, I can't wait to have a look at the book and we'll have to have you back to talk a bit about volume 2.
Thanks, Pete.
