El Salvador Will Use Its Volcanoes To Power Bitcoin Mining Facilities
Author: Felix Mollen

First, El Salvador adopts Bitcoin as legal tender alongside the Dollar. Now the country wants to mine BTC with the energy of its volcanoes.
When it comes to Bitcoin, the president of El Salvador does not know what it means to go slow. Over the weekend, he announced that he was working on a proposal to accept Bitcoin as legal tender. 3 days later, he introduced the bill to the Assembly, and hours later that same day, the bill was passed and became law.
Well, now, just hours after this historic event, the president of El Salvador announced a new move to promote Bitcoin mining —100% clean, so Elon Musk can calm down.
El Salvador: How To Turn Full Time Bitcoiner Faster Than The Speed of Light
It is difficult to say for sure if the president of El Salvador was considering mining Bitcoin prior to to the annoucement. However, during a Twitter Conference that took place while the Congress was discussing the Bitcoin Law, Nayib Bukele assured that he had not thought about Bitcoin mining, but that he found the approach interesting enough to study.
A few hours later, he instructed the president of the national electricity company to develop a plan to mine Bitcoin with the thermal energy of the country's volcanoes.
I've just instructed the president of @LaGeoSV (our state-owned geothermal electric company), to put up a plan to offer facilities for #Bitcoin mining with very cheap, 100% clean, 100% renewable, 0 emissions energy from our volcanos 🌋
This is going to evolve fast! 🇸🇻 pic.twitter.com/1316DV4YwT
— Nayib Bukele 🇸🇻 (@nayibbukele) June 9, 2021
The news went under the radar for a few hours as it was only a plan —extravagant, perhaps, but theoretical nonetheless.
But a few hours later, Bukele announced that workers had dug a well capable of producing 95MW of energy, which would be used for a 100% clean mining farm.
Our engineers just informed me that they dug a new well, that will provide approximately 95MW of 100% clean, 0 emissions geothermal energy from our volcanos 🌋
Starting to design a full #Bitcoin mining hub around it.
What you see coming out of the well is pure water vapor 🇸🇻 pic.twitter.com/SVph4BEW1L
With this move, El Salvador becomes not only the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, but also one of the first to focus on promoting Bitcoin mining with non-polluting alternative energies. All this in the course of one week.
Bitcoin And The Need For a Cleaner Mining Industry
Geothermal energy plants in El Salvador will harness the heat from volcanoes to convert it into electrical energy.
The procedure is similar to that applied by Genesis Mining with its Enigma mining farm in Iceland. The only difference is that in the European country, heat is mostly obtained from geysers and they consume less energy because the cold climate of the region helps cool the equipment.
According to DW estimates, between 1 and 2% of the total Bitcoin hash resides in that country.
The need for clean environmental alternatives has been a hot topic of debate, especially after Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that his company would stop receiving Bitcoin as payment precisely because BTC mining uses polluting energy to operate.

Felix got into Bitcoin back in 2014, but his interest quickly expanded to everything blockchain-related. He's particularly excited about real-world applications of blockchain technology. Having worked as a professional content writer for three years before that, Felix transitioned to working on blockchain-centered projects and hasn't looked back ever since.


Hall you. Been a while since I popped a tutorial out onto the tinterweb about that there Brother Scan N Cut so after I finished creating and uploading yesterday's design pack on Digital Craft Emporium I sat down for a bit of a tinker.
Well, quite excited about a couple of things today as Brother have released a Windows Installable Version of their Canvas Workspace and have also added a couple of useful extras to that version too.

Aaron Gunner Mysteries
Good Man Gone Bad
An Aaron Gunner Mystery
by Gar Anthony Haywood
Published by: Prospect Park Books
Other Retailers:
Hard times are nothing new for private investigator Aaron Gunner. Working on the mean streets of South Central Los Angeles, he's seen more than his fair share of trouble. But when his cousin and confidante Del Curry commits suicide after allegedly killing his wife and critically injuring their daughter Zina, Gunner knows he's about to face the hardest times of all. He doesn't buy the LAPD's version of the shooting and isn't going to wait for Zina to regain consciousness to disprove it. Whatever drove Del to take his own life---and possibly assault his wife and daughter---Gunner's going to find it, even if it means learning things about his late cousin he'll wish he never knew. But first, he has a paying case to work, proving the innocence of an Afghan War veteran accused of murder. Plagued by seering migraines and occasional fits of rage, Harper Stowe III is counting on Gunner to fill the holes in his ruined memory that make him the perfect suspect in the killing of his former employer. With a new era of American racism and divided politics on the rise all around him, Gunner must seek the truth behind two fatal shootings now, and grieve for his beloved cousin later.
Gar Anthony Haywood is the Shamus and Anthony award-winning author of twelve crime novels, including the Aaron Gunner private eye series and Joe and Dottie Loudermilk mysteries. His short fiction has been included in the Best American Mystery Stories anthologies, and Booklist has called him "a writer who has always belonged in the upper echelon of American crime fiction." Haywood has written for network television and both the New York and Los Angeles Times.
"Good Man Gone Bad is Gar Anthony Haywood's best work yet, keeping a tight focus on Aaron Gunner and his exploration of his city and the meaning of justice. More than a mystery, this book is a mirror held up to society and the world."
—Michael Connelly, New York Times-bestselling author of the Harry Bosch novels
"Mr. Haywood—this is his seventh and best novel yet to feature Gunner—is a gifted writer with a flair for description.... The two dissimilar cases confronting Gunner test the detective's confidence to the fullest. He sees himself, at his most insecure, as "a black pretend-cop working from the back of the Watts barbershop." But an abundance of tenacity, courage and resourcefulness proves a lot more valuable to Gunner and his fortunate clients than a fancy office."
— Tom Nolan for Wall Street Journal
"Good Man Gone Bad is Haywood in peak form, a classic hard-boiled mystery full of sly humor and street wisdom—but also a surprisingly tender treatise on masculinity and the futility of violence. A page-turner as engaging as it is deep."
— Attica Locke, author of Bluebird, Bluebird, Heaven, My Home, and The Cutting Season
"Good Man Gone Bad is bracing, heart-wrenching fiction from Haywood, and the best in his Aaron Gunner series to date. Gunner is by now part of LA's contemporary noir canon—cynical, compassionate, and tireless in his pursuit of stubborn truths. Hip and raw. Don't miss it."
— T. Jefferson Parker, New York Times–bestselling author of The Last Good Guy
Praise for the Aaron Gunner Novels
"The fresh dialogue, raffish atmosphere and boldly drawn characters leave little doubt as to why Haywood's mysteries are fast becoming hard-boiled classics."
— Entertainment Weekly (Page-Turner of the Week)
"Gunner yanks the sheet off the American nightmare of race, politics, and murder, L.A. style."
— Acclaimed film director Spike Lee
"Like the first six books in the Aaron Gunner series, this dark, brooding tale will remind readers of classic Southern California crime novelists Philip Marlowe and Ross Macdonald. Haywood's tight, no-frills prose is outstanding, and he does a fine job of developing the characters who inhabit Gunner's poor side of town."
— Associated Press
"…solidly plotted seventh outing for the African-American L.A. PI… a pleasure to read… Hopefully, Gunner will be back soon."
"A masterful mystery writer."
— Chicago Tribune
"Aaron Gunner is back! And Los Angeles needs him now, more than ever. Good Man Gone Bad peels away the lies we tell each other to avoid our painful inner truths—the most powerful kind of detective story."
— Naomi Hirahara, Edgar Award–winning author of the Mas Arai mysteries

As a crane lowered the final prefabricated patient washroom, module #360, into place at Humber River Hospital, North America's first fully digital hospital, a new milestone was achieved in PCL's century-long track record as a solutions-focused construction company dedicated to meeting the unique needs of every client.
PCL is breaking new and innovative ground with permanent modular construction (PMC), an industry building practice that is rapidly gaining popularity. For the new hospital, PCL prefabricated and delivered 360 washroom modules in only three months, much faster than building them on-site. A safe and standardized method of building, modular construction is completed in a controlled environment, independent of weather and other variables, which ensures a finished product of the highest quality.
"As inherent solution providers, our PCL team uses industry-leading virtual construction technology to identify elements of a construction project that can be prefabricated as modules of various sizes and complexity in a controlled factory environment," said PCL Toronto executive vice president, Chris Gower.
"This approach generates less waste and reduces vehicle traffic to and from the main jobsite. It also provides an alternative way of approaching the logistical challenges associated with traditional site-built construction projects," added Gower.
Certain components of the Humber River Hospital, such as washrooms and telecommunications/data rooms were perfect candidates for modular construction.
"Off-site modular construction creates the opportunity for components to be prepared off-site simultaneously with work being done on-site, which allows us to assemble more specialized workforces to increase efficiencies, while enhancing quality on any project—all of which helps us save our clients both time and money," said PCL vice president of Permanent Modular Construction, Mark Taylor.
The modules were fabricated in PCL's 40,000 sq.ft. PMC production facility in Toronto, Ontario. With easy access to road, rail, and ship, the facility enables PCL to conveniently serve the prefabrication needs of clients across North America.
The compact modules incorporating finishing, mechanical, and electrical trade scopes are slipped into the building structure where, once in place and using a telescoping structure, the module is expanded to finished height for quick tie-in to main services, drywalling, and painting.
"This is truly a plug-and-play solution that is saving the project significant time and resources, while minimizing environmental impacts," said Taylor.
PCL is the design-builder of North America's first fully digital hospital, destined to be a technological and environmental showcase. Opening its doors in fall 2015, this state-of-the-art acute care facility spans over 1.8 million square feet on a 27-acre block in northwest Toronto.


Only 30-35 Amur leopards remain in the wild. Through establishment of a new national park in the Russian Far East, The Land of the Leopard, the World Wildlife Fund and its partners have joined local and national governments and community groups in an urgent effort to save this magnificent species.
The northernmost of leopards, the Amur inhabits the huge 380 million-acre watershed of the Amur River. Rising near the sacred mountain of Burkan Khaldun in northeastern Mongolia, the river flows along the boundary between Siberia and China's Heilongjiang Province. Among the Amur leopard's forest neighbors are Amur tigers, brown bears, musk deer, Oriental white storks, and red-crowned cranes.
The 650,000-acre Land of the Leopard National Park lies on the less-populated Russian side of the river. Since the leopards pass their breeding areas on to subsequent generations, all of these sites within Russia are included in the park. Various levels of sanctuary are afforded the leopards within the park, from strict protection, to limited human access, to a recreational zone for ecotourism.
The Land of the Leopard National Park now counts among the approximately 100,000 protected areas worldwide that cover nearly 13% of the earth's land surface. With this new breathing room and careful oversight, the Amur leopard may rebound from the brink of extinction.

The temperate forests of North America include the maple forests of New England and the towering old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest. In the East, there is more forest today than there was 100 years ago, yet forest stands lack the diversity of young and old trees that makes for prime bird habitat. In the West, fire is a key element influencing forests and bird habitat from Canada to Mexico.
Of the 144 temperatre forest bird species in the East and West, 30 are on the Watch List. About half of the birds that breed in U.S. and Canadian eastern temperate forests spend their winters in Mexican tropical evergreen forests. Some species, such as Wood Thrush, are in steep decline.
Eighty percent of western temperate forest birds spend the winter in western Mexican forests. These birds, such as Western Tanager, live in fire-maintained forests at both ends of their life cycle. Historically, fires were set by lightning strikes and native peoples. Today it is up to land managers to use fire to keep these forests healthy and resilient to pests and climate change.

The Quercus and Aves program prioritizes oak woodlands restoration using science-based bird conservation objectives along the Pacific Coast of North America. Regional partnerships initiated by Quercus and Aves have restored oak woodlands habitat on more than 20 sites on public and private lands in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. In Mexico, a regional pine-oak alliance has restored habitat on more than 1 million hectares in southern Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Guerrero, as well as farther south in Guatemala and Honduras.

Our continent's temperate forests can be managed to achieve conservation objectives while contributing to local economies.
The Appalachian Mountains Joint Venture is planning for a mix of forest types from New York to Alabama. Integrating bird conservation objectives into forest management plans will diversify forest habitats across the eastern U.S.
The Partners in Flight business conservation plan for western forest birds is developing more than a dozen pilot projects in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico that implement science-based forest conservation planning while supporting wood-product markets. These projects should become the blueprints for using bird and habitat conservation objectives to improve local economies.

TRAGEDY is most compelling when interwoven with comedy; that's something Henry Naylor, formerly head writer of Spitting Image, does well.
Borders comprises two alternating monologues between award-winning photojournalist Sebastian Nightingale (Graham O'Mara) and a Syrian female artist and refugee, Nameless (Deniz Arixenas), whose stories gradually merge.
News coverage of the refugee crisis is often limited to harrowing images of suffering and mass statistics that fail to hone in on individual narratives. Nameless is a defiant young graffiti artist who must flee the Assad regime, and one of thousands seeking safe passage across the Mediterranean.
Along comes Sebastian, a recent graduate, well-intentioned, but with a naive hero complex as he views the crisis through his lens. His is a privileged existence. Through his narrow focus, he describes locals as dull, and reminds the audience of news's secondary purpose as entertainment when he says he needs more people to die. The success that photographing Osama Bin Laden brings him prior to 9/11 allows his "art" to devolve into photographing celebrities for capital gain.
Both Arixenas and O'Mara are wholly convincing in their roles, which juxtapose; hers is heavy and serious, his light and very funny. Her plight is reduced to a still image, with which the photographer can continue to climb ladders. Watching the two stories unfold, it becomes clear how the photojournalist profits from others' suffering, while those portrayed lose everything.
Naylor achieves a light-hearted dig at news culture and media sensationalism, and the manner in which the West capitalises on tragedy in the Middle East. As thousands still make the dangerous crossing between North Africa and the Mediterranean, Borders is timely.

Home » Meet BFS' New Director of Cargo
Meet BFS' New Director of Cargo
Chatchaya Jianswatvatana
on October 25, 2017 at 1:00 pm
Determination and grit are key driving factors behind great successes. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. If you keep running and learning along the way, life will often reward you.
This can be seen by the success of Mr. Pinij Nantawannakul, the new director of Cargo at Bangkok Flight Services (BFS), one of the ground handling company service at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Armed with the determination to learn and further his knowledge in airfreight industry, Mr. Nantawannakul continued determination throughout his career has been rewarded by what he has sowed.
Bangkok Flight Services (BFS) is a joint venture between Bangkok Airways and Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), one of the world's leading cargo handling companies. Mr. Nantawannakul has been working with BFS since day one, when the company first bid to put a warehouse on the property at the airport. This experience has not only allowed him to see the development and improvement of BFS first-hand, but also allowed him the see the vision and direction that BFS should take going forward.
Work with Passion
Mr. Pinij Nantawannakul
When we love something, in the end, life will eventually bring us back to what we love. This perfectly describes the path that brought Mr. Nantawannakul to his current position. With a passion and love for aviation since he was a child, Mr. Nantawannakul decided to work in the environment that he belongs in, and that is to work with airlines. He has worked in other industries, like hospitality, games and entertainment and jewelry. But eventually, his love and opportunity brought him back to where his true passions lie.
Mr. Nantawannakul said that, "My first opportunity in the aviation industry was working with Bangkok Airways. At that time, my responsibilities were to take care of VIP customers and checking-in guests. That was when I met Dr. Prasert Prasarttong-Osoth, CEO of the airline. After collecting experiences in this field, I decided to explore the world and extend my perspective by working in other industries. But when you love something, chances are you will eventually be drawn back to it, so I decided to work with the airline again."
With his outstanding work ethic and performance, Dr. Prasert persuaded Mr. Nantawannaku to come back and work with Bangkok Airways (BA). "In 2000, I had a chance to come back and work with the airline. At that time, I was based at Don Muang Airport. That was the first time BA bought a Boeing 717 which had more belly-hold capacity. The chairman believed more efficient and modern aircraft would help lift the capacity of the airline. The chairman originally appointed me to work at the cargo warehouse. Before this, I hadn't worked on the cargo side before, and I admit that I was afraid to take the position. The chairman spoke to me, and what he said drove and inspired me to take the jump. He said, that in all your previous jobs you didn't have any experience either, but still you could perform well, and that there was no reason that you couldn't learn and start from zero. That's why I was so enthusiastic and eager to learn as much as I could. I would like to thank Bangkok Airways for giving me the opportunity and see my potential. After six great years working with Bangkok Airways, the airline decided to form a joint venture with WFS at Suvarnabhumi airport. So, I had an opportunity to learn the warehouse operations side as well, and that's when I started working with BFS."
Even though Mr. Nantawannaku was faced with challenges and pressures in his new position, he never gave up. "When I started working with BFS, I began by learning all the new processes and operations. Fortunately, I love to learn and study new things, and I learned quickly. I began by researching everything dealing with the legalities involved in the cargo side, and learned about the innerworkings of the industry and by talking with our clients. Everyone in the industry who has knowledge and experiences I consider my mentor," he said.
As a result of starting from scratch, Mr. Nantawannaku learned every step and every detail of the processes involved at BFS, including laws and regulations. By working with the company since day one, it allowed him to better understand and see the progress and successes BFS has achieved. "One thing that BFS always believes in is to work by the rules. Every working process is based on international standards. However, we still have flexibility and an open-mind to listen to our clients' requests. If a customer has any opinions or suggestions for improvement, we're gladly willing and ready to listen."
"For BFS, we talk with freight forwarders and TAFA as well, to share our opinions and update information in the industry. There have been times when we've changed work processes. For example, in the past we would allow shippers to deliver cargo to our warehouse 48 hours plus scheduled time of departure (STD). But our warehouse was built as turnover warehouse, which suits cargo that goes in and out quickly. It's not for storage, so when there's too much cargo in the warehouse, we are likely run out of space. We decided to talk with TAFA and explained the situation to them and compromised that would it be better if we reduce the duration from 48 to 24 hours instead, as the airline would send the load plan to us 12 hours prior. After adapting, the workflow is much more efficient, and we can help to reduce bottlenecks in the warehouse, helping processes move faster, which in in the end is good for everyone involved. Every part of the supply chain affects the other, both positively and negatively. BFS is one part of the chain, and that's why we try our best to do our part and evaluate our standards."
Build a Strong Team
After being appointed with his new position, Mr. Nantawannakul didn't only want to evaluate the services and be open to new comments, but also wanted to share his knowledge, and lift BFS' staff to be stronger. "I want BFS to have a strong team that can support each other and deliver unbeatable services to customers. Mr. David Ambridge, who is the former general manager before me, has built a strong foundation and unrivalled standards.

National Cathedral Dean Slams "Filthy Enactment" of Voting Rights Ruling

A recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court "essentially gutted" the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and recalls the infamous Fugitive Slave Act of the 1850s, according to the dean of the Washington National Cathedral.
In a Sunday sermon celebrating recent Supreme Court decisions on same-sex marriage and lamenting a ruling on the Voting Rights Act, Dean Gary Hall sought to link the church's public engagement with Jesus Christ's turn towards Jerusalem in Luke Chapter 9.
Already thrusting the Cathedral into debates over firearms control and same-sex marriage, voting rights is just the latest in a string of politically charged issues championed by the activist Episcopal Church official.
Hall celebrated court marriage decisions overturning the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and California's Proposition 8 as "victories for all of us who support marriage equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered people."
"Those who had suffered so much discrimination savored a cultural and legal turning point in our shared march towards justice," the Episcopal priest reported of a special Wednesday service for LGBT persons at the cathedral. Hall also noted "as we exalt in the joys of our lesbian and gay brothers and sisters, we must also weep with the pains and the losses of our brothers and sisters of color."
"On Tuesday I found myself as dejected as I would find myself elated on Wednesday," Hall told of the VRA and DOMA rulings. Recalling his own participation in the civil rights movement as a high school junior, Hall said it brought him into contact with Christian people and the life and ministry of the church.
Designating the VRA ruling "a filthy enactment," Hall quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson's declaration that he would not obey the Fugitive Slave Act, which required residents of Free states to return escaped slaves to the south.
Acknowledging his own record of political sermons, Hall insisted Sunday's message from the pulpit wasn't just "another instance of the Dean going all political on you" but was instrumental to following Jesus Christ.
"Jesus sets his face to go towards Jerusalem both literally and figuratively," Hall pronounced of Luke chapter 9:51-62, in which Christ begins his journey towards the Jewish capital, the center of public life.
In going to the capital city, Jesus "is taking his critique to the heart of Roman and Jewish life," Hall assessed. The cathedral dean termed the week's events as "triumph and tragedy in our own capital."
"We are a public church and public churches cannot be neutral where issues of justice are concerned," Hall charged. Adding that Jesus went to Jerusalem "not out of anger but out of compassion," Hall portrayed Jesus' journey as one of solidarity "with and for those who are up against it."
Declaring that God "loves and blesses and accepts everyone as they are," Hall pronounced that "Jesus does not go to Jerusalem alone" and calls Christians to go with him.
"Therefore, following Jesus as he sets his face to go towards Jerusalem is part of what it means to be a Christian," Hall interpreted. "If we are really following Jesus – and not just being personally pious in a private way – we try to care as much about the sufferings of people we don't know as our own children, parents, spouses and friends. The only way you can care for people you don't know is by establishing justice."
In a call to the U.S. Congress "to rebuild what the court has taken away," Hall insisted that Christianity has never been about only private suffering or personal joy, but rather about public social struggles. The cathedral dean asserted that Christians experience persecution "because they dare to make their private compassion a public virtue."
"Today we both rejoice and lament," Hall concluded. "Tomorrow we take up again the work again of standing with Jesus and God for those Jerusalem and Washington would oppress."

The 5th of November and Ahistorical Anarchists

The past decade has witnessed rampant Catholic absolutism. (Photo Credit: The Daily Mail)
The intrepid explorers of the internet wilds may be noticing some of their friends posting this little ditty today:
Remember, remember
The fifth of November
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
This is a rather strange poem for Americans recite—it's much more British in character. It references Guy Fawkes Night in the UK. For Yanks, however, it has become the rallying cry for supposed anarcho-libertarians, especially amongst the youth.
In the last decade, Guy Fawkes masks and other paraphernalia have become the symbols of populist revolt thanks to V for Vendetta. The brainchild of hairy leftist and comic-book legend Alan Moore, the printed series narrated a revolutionary warring against a dystopian fascist regime in Britain. The protagonist, named V, battles against authority with his knives, explosives, ideas, and penchant for alliteration. And he's not just going to battle for your usual free markets; he wants everybody to do as they please, as long as no one else is hurt (a very common rubric for post-Enlightenment liberalism). Of course, this material didn't gain such a level of popularity in the States by printed media alone; instead, most young Americans got their notions from the film starring Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman.
Now wannabe revolutionaries across the nation don Guy Fawkes disguises and quote "Remember, remember the fifth of November," whether it be a teenager's prepubescent meditations on how no one should tell him what to do or the massed (tear-gassed) protestors of Occupy and Anonymous. The film, with its enigmatic characters and symbolic violence (including iconic fictional demolitions of Old Bailey and Big Ben to the tune of the 1812 Overture), left quite an expanse for adolescent imaginations.
Too bad it's a historical calumny.
Guy Fawkes pretty much wanted the exact opposite of anarchism in all its various inconsistent forms. He was caught guarding gunpowder under the House of Lords, thus putting Parliament (the representative, legislative branch in British government) in grave danger. He and the other Gunpowder plotters hoped to blow up the Protestant King James I, his Privy Council, most of Parliament, and the Church of England's bishops at the State Opening. The goal of the Gunpowder Plot was to re-instate a Roman Catholic monarch upon the throne, probably along absolutist lines.
It turns out that, after the plan was foiled, the nation rejoiced that its entire government wasn't blown to smithereens. The people of England lit bonfires (and, later, fireworks) to celebrate that the king's life was preserved from assassination. The Church authored a special service to the Book of Common Prayer. Unfortunately, the Gunpowder Plot also reinforced anti-Catholic sentiments in the UK, making life quite difficult for peaceable English Roman Catholics.
So yeah, blowing up the one representative body in your nation in favor of an absolutist monarch aligned with the Roman See's Magisterium does not spring from the insoluble pillars of anarcho-libertarianism.
Therefore, when you see your young Jacobin compatriot tossing about Guy Fawkes references, here are a few helpful recommendations:
1. If you're Anglican, make sure he's not plotting to blow up either your property or your person with blackpowder explosives.
2. Remark on how you didn't know this person was a Catholic monarchist.
3. Warn them about the gibbet at Tyburn.
4. Link to this post.
5. Debate the merits of Gary Johnson as a presidential candidate.
6. Exercise your right to participate in the electoral process tomorrow, thanking God you were preserved from pyromaniacal Papists.
7. Remember and pray this little phrase from Evening Prayer: "O Lord, save the State."
Discussing Paleo-Evangelicals: Affirmative
Barton Gingerich, conservatism, Luke Moon, paleo evangelical, Patheos, Politics, Republican, theology, Thomas Kidd, Voting
What follows is a dialogue elicited by a recent blog post entitled "Paleo-Evangelicals as Reluctant Republicans" by Thomas Kidd over at The Anxious Bench. Dr. Kidd's observations proved to be quite thought-provoking in the office. Luke Moon and I conversed about "paleo-evangelicals" several times. With that reaction, we decided that others were having the same discussion or would like to join in on it. Luke's post can be found here.
I have been pegged. Joining the various coagulated labels applied to my religious and political positions, Dr. Kidd has seen fit to brand me "paleo-evangelical." I don't think I'm particularly "deeply conversant with the ancient history of the church, and with the Reformation" in the way that I need to be, but I'm trying (I can differentiate all the St. Gregorys from each other). I do sympathize with certain "Catholic social doctrines and traditions": I'm liturgical, sacramental, and am a big fan of the various social encyclicals (even the oft-hated Humanae Vitae). I guess I do "gravitate" to the scribbling of The American Conservative and Front Porch Republic, if by "gravitate" Kidd means "reads daily."
I hold the mentioned suspicions of American civil religion, the effectiveness of political parties, and certain Republican policies. It was here that Luke Moon and I had a disconnect—a "generation gap," if you will. These are rare occurrences, since we understand ourselves as traditional in religious matters and conservative in political ones—thus, we are otherwise bound together by tradition. I will try to account for why I believe what I do, but (even as Kidd admits) others have different stories for adopting these same positions.
Let us first address the issue of civil religion. Although the term carries with it a history of Manifest Destiny and American exceptionalism, we don't have time to discuss them at the moment. Instead, observe that civil religion—even in its American form—is not Christianity, borrowed elements from Protestantism aside. Indeed, civil religion exists everywhere and at all times, but my generation works hard to differentiate between true Christianity and the American civil religion. Also, when civil religion comes under attack, my generation has little-to-no desire to defend it. Religion as a social tool is a dead thing—an idol. In evangelizing or defending Christianity in an apologetics situation, the Gospel is offensive enough. We don't need to be hauling around the baggage of Americanism when we're trying to convey the true marrow of Christian doctrine.
Christianity should be welcomed in the public square, but we need to realize that our faith has been abused and manipulated for the sake of power. I resent it, and you should too. Thus, with this reservation in place, the emphasis of discussion, foundations of argument, and vocabulary choice has changed. Whether we're talking about the actual Christian message or voicing one's conscience in the public sphere pivots on context.
Yes, I am a conservative politically, but that springs from prudence, which is available to the heathen as well as the Christian. Prudence fosters my appreciation for the Founding Fathers, but it doesn't push me to assert that they were "essentially Christian" as David Barton et al. try to propose. The "paleo-evangelical" lacks the compunction to do two things at once without differentiation. When I'm evangelizing, I've gone beyond the cardinal virtues and nature to the theological virtues and grace. The latter sphere is the Church's special and unique contribution—it's what the Church is about. The political sphere is for both the baptized and the pagan.
Next, Kidd asserts, "[T]he paleo evangelicals do not place much hope in any political party doing that much good in this world. Big political promises of hope and change typically come to naught, whatever party is making them." This springs from the revived awareness of Christians' dual citizenship and a sense of betrayal by movement conservatism (as embodied by so much of the Republican Party). The latter phenomenon has myriad causes. Freedoms have been threatened by the Republican-supported Patriot Act. One finds only lip service to the pro-life cause on the congressional level (a willing legislature and executive are what's needed to overturn Roe v. Wade). The Abu Ghraib abuses, increased drones strikes, and decade-long war "over there" have cast a pall on the Middle Eastern conflicts. As for fiduciary responsibility, when Republicans come to power, they simply divvy up the budgetary pie differently rather than institute unpopular systematic changes (whether that be along capitalistic or distributist lines). Moreover, the paleo-evangelicals get squeamish when they read about the power plays, egos, and scandals of the Moral Majority movement. "Family values" has ultimately become a hollow if not ironic term.
In short, paleo-evangelicals notice that movement conservatism is an ideology, not an inclination or the principled application of prudence. Thus, they are unwilling to pull a party line at the moment.
Political skepticism, which Kidd envisions as a characteristic of the paleo-evangelicals, is a venerable habit of conservatives and Christians alike. I blame this on a revival in classical learning, since it is at this point that ancient and medieval names start getting thrown around by paleo-evangelicals. The great figure looming in the background is St. Augustine of Hippo. In his City of God, he excoriates high hopes and faith in human politics. Our nation—whether it be the Roman Empire or the American republic—is doomed to mortality and corruption since it is the City of Man. We look after her and seek her good, but we really don't expect too much out of human leaders. No, America is not the hope of the world, and we better not be claiming that it is such. That office belongs to the Christ.
Older generations may contend that they had no idea that they were conflating the two citizenships of the Christian. If that was within their intentions, they did a very bad job of communicating that. The young paleo-evangelicals raised in the midst of their Moral Majority parents took away a very different narrative and have rejected it. These young conservatives are trying to re-establish the rhetorical discipline of distinction, much to the dread of movement conservatives who desire mobilization and activism.
On the other hand (and this point springs also from St. Thomas Aquinas), virtue is still possible on earth, including earthly politics. Indeed, America has done a lot of good in the world, especially as a model of ordered liberty for a good bit of its national life. As Edmund Burke so eloquently illustrated in his Reflections on the Revolution in France, we as conservatives shouldn't be expecting some sort of utopia to be ushered in through human politics. On the other hand, we should seek out human flourishing. Thus, Christian conservatives have two concerns to be worried about that are coming into tension once again: "the best is the enemy of the better" vs. "the lesser of two evils is still evil." Paleo-evangelicals have been opting for the second, since increasingly it seems as if one has to choose between two outright monstrosities.
Until Republican leaders start taking seriously the ideas of Edmund Burke, Russell Kirk, Richard Weaver, Robert Nisbet, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Michael Oakeshott; young classical conservatives will remain rather aloof. Likewise, if advocates of Christian conservatism keep propagating harmful understandings of American exceptionalism rather than good ones, paleo-evangelicals are going to keep the GOP at an arm's length. Perhaps paleo-evangelicals deserve Kidd's "straight ticket" dig at their electoral hipsterdom. However, these young un's stand not as political Laputans, but rather Christians with significant reservations on a variety of fields. All too often, the call to "realism" is really a demand for materialism. I don't know if Kidd's particular term "paleo-evangelical" will prove sustainable if stretched and scrutinized, but he definitely has picked up on an important trend and something of which the-powers-that-be should take notice.

By Bart Gingerich
On October 16th, the progressive evangelical group Sojourners hosted a discussion panel on young evangelicals and the 2012 election. The conversation was based on recent study by Sojo that analyzed the political priorities and attitudes of evangelical Christians under age 35. The panel included Jenny Yang of World Relief, Jessica Prol of Family Research Council, Rev. Adam Taylor of World Vision, Ben Lowe of Young Evangelicals for Climate Action, Jayme Cloninger of Feed the Children, Christopher LaTondresse of USAID, and Eric Teetsel of the Manhattan Declaration.
Sojourners head Jim Wallis noted, "The thing about your generation is that you believe your faith is personal and it's also public. I like to say faith is personal but not private." Most of the panel interpreted the data in a more progressive light. Jenny Lang asserted, "Young evangelicals care about a wider set of issues than evangelicals are generally known to be involved in…Young evangelicals care about issues of justice…immigration, creation care, what our government does that affects the most vulnerable." Environmentalist Ben Lowe worried, "A lot of us are disaffected politically and with how the church deals with political issues." Yang, on the other hand, believed, "[Young evangelicals] actually advocate for better laws and policies that they care about the most."
Rev. Taylor acted as the voice of moderation. "At the heart of the Gospel is the good news, especially the good news for the poor." he mused, "Poverty continues to be a taboo issue for many of our elections…the discussion tends to come from the lens of the middle class, and I think we need to close that gap between where the church and young people are and where our politicians are." Taylor declared, "Despite the polarizing effects of culture wars, we're finding that young people are still engaged. They're finding new wines skins for their enthusiasm and passions."

The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, his wife, and son escaped an assassination attempt in the early hours of Tuesday.
A statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Uche Anichukwu, said the incident occurred at about 4:00 am on Tuesday at their Apo Quarters residence in Abuja.
The armed men were said to have discreetly evaded the security and entered his house.
Thereafter, they took hold of his son, and commanded him to lead them to the Senator's bedroom.
While in the senator's bedroom, a struggle ensued after which some of the men escaped.
One of them was, however, arrested.
According to Anichukwu, the arrested member of the gang refused to divulge any information on the operation. He has, however, been handed over to the police.
Recall that the lawmaker narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on his life in Abuja on November 17, 2015.

An officer of Nigerian Prisons Service, Mr. Collins Ugwu, has been arrested for armed robbery in Enugu State.
Ugwu, a Deputy Superintendent of Prisons, worked at headquarters of the Nigeria Prisons Service in Abuja until his arrest in Enugu on June 26 alongside his gang.
The suspects' trade in stock was laying ambush for bank customers, and robbing them of their monies, according to Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Mohammed Danmallam who paraded them at the weekend.
Danmallam said, "The suspects (Ugwu, Ozor and Osetu) belonged to a syndicate that specialised in monitoring anyone that had gone to the bank to make withdrawals and trailed them to a point where they could smartly force the door or the windscreen (of the victims' cars) open with their instrument and steal the said amount.
"They were also a part of a syndicate that bought goods from traders and generated fake payment alert to the owners of the goods without him knowing.
Items allegedly recovered from the suspects, according to Danmallam, included a Golf car with registration number Abuja RBC 220 KF, and a broken plug which they allegedly used in 'scratching down' windows of cars when they wanted to steal from their victims.

Q: Using arrays in XSLT 1.0 to build a table with uneven number of rows I have an XML structure such as the following:
<people>
    <attending>
        <person><firstname>John</firstname><lastname>Doe</lastname></person>
        <person><firstname>George</firstname><lastname>Washington</lastname></person>
        <person><firstname>Henry</firstname><lastname>Dodson</lastname></person>
    </attending>
    <maybe>
        <person><firstname>Jackie</firstname><lastname>Gleason</lastname></person>
        <person><firstname>Jill</firstname><lastname>Hill</lastname></person>
    </maybe>
</people>

I want to build a single HTML table using XSLT 1.0 with the information in both attending and maybe elements, but they are never guaranteed to have the same amount of elements. I'd like the table to look like this (or similar):

        Attending	Maybe

        John Doe	Jackie Gleason

        George Washington	Jill Hill

        Henry Dodson

So since I can only do an xsl:for-each over one element at a time, I could build two separate tables (one column at a time), and put each table in two cells side-by-side of a larger, encompassing table. But, I need one table. (If you'd like to know why, it's for cross-browser styling reasons, and tables within tables become difficult to control cross browser. One table would alleviate a lot of this.)
The next obvious thing would be to build two arrays, one with the attending node-set and one with the maybe node-set, then do an index based xsl:for-each where I look up the index in each array, because of course HTML tables need to be built one row at a time, but unfortunately my data is stored as columns. Also, the XSLT doesn't know beforehand how many of each attending or maybe there will be, so it has to be able to dynamically handle it.

*

*Does XSLT 1.0 support such arrays?

*How do I do a xsl:for-each iteration over such arrays? (As in $attending[index] where index is my "for each" counter)

I would prefer answers for XSLT 1.0 since that is the framework I am constrained to, but I am open to hearing about how this could be done in later versions of XSLT.

A: Here's one way you could look at it:
XSLT 1.0

Here you can see the best food to eat in Ramadan Iftar in 2018. During the holy month of Ramadan, most Muslims have to stay away from eating and drinking between sunrise and sunset. It can be difficult to maintain the right nutrients and health risks during this time.
Previous Health24 articles have shown that fasting can lead to headaches, dehydration, low blood sugar, dizziness, and fatigue.
However, it is possible to have a healthy diet during Ramadan and have enough energy to stay all day.


The route changed a bit in 2010. Instead of ending in Braselton, Georgia, at the YearOne Facility, the route started there. The first stop was in Tifton, Georgia. A second stop in Ocala, Florida, allowed runners to visit The don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing. Participants also stopped in Daytona Beach and Jupiter, Florida, where the Burt Reynolds Museum is located. The 2010 run ended in Orlando, Florida.

A step forward towards the space industry
Last May, the Luxembourg Government, the Société Nationale de Crédit et d'Investissement (SNCI) and Deep Space Industries signed an agreement to cooperate as part of Luxembourg's SpaceResources.lu initiative. This should allow the exploitation, use and marketing of near-Earth objects such as asteroids. Daniel Faber, Chief Executive Officer at Deep Space Industries tells us about this important project.
Can you tell us about the Prospector-1 mining mission and the Prospector-X ship that will help you realize it?
The Prospector-1™ spacecraft will fly to and rendezvous with a near-Earth asteroid, and investigate the object to determine its value as a source of space resources. This mission is an important step in the company's overall plans to harvest and supply in-space resources to support the growing space economy. Prospector-1 will launch before the end of the decade, likely in 2019 or 2020, after our pre-cursor "Prospector-X" mission in 2017. Deep Space Industries has partnered with the government of Luxembourg's SpaceResources.lu initiative to build Prospector-X, an experimental mission to low-Earth orbit that will test key technologies for the Prospector-1 mission and new commercial spacecraft for our customers. The Prospector-X spacecraft will be built at Deep Space Industries' new European headquarters, in Luxembourg, in conjunction with the company's international and American partners, including the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability, and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg.
Why does Luxembourg stand out as the ideal place for the development of this project?
Luxembourg has shown its commitment to be at the forefront of the emerging commercial space sector through initiatives such as SpaceResources.lu and continued investments in commercial space ventures. Luxembourg is helping set the stage for a renaissance of space activities that will benefit its own citizens and the global community, and is now the second nation to step up to the challenge of enacting space resource and commerce policy.
How do you collaborate with the Luxembourg government? What are the advantages of the Luxembourgish SpaceResources.lu initiative?
In May 2016 Deep Space Industries, together with the Luxembourg Government and the Société Nationale de Crédit et d'Investissement (SNCI), the national banking institution in Luxembourg, signed an agreement formalizing their partnership to explore, use, and commercialize space resources as part of Luxembourg's SpaceResources.lu initiative.
Through the SpaceResources.lu initiative, Luxembourg is leading the development of a legal and regulatory framework for new sectors of the commercial space industry that will provide with clear guidelines and the knowledge that commercial activities and investments will be protected – including the future ownership of minerals extracted in space from Near Earth Objects (NEO's) such as asteroids.
The Luxembourg Government is working with Deep Space Industries to co-fund relevant R&D projects that help further develop the technology needed to mine asteroids and build a supply chain of valuable resources in space. The co-funding will be implemented under the Luxembourg space program, LuxIMPULSE, the national R&D support program, and using financing instruments of the SNCI.
The government supports other businesses in this area, what does this mean for you?
It will take more than a single company to build a robust space-based supply chain industry. We welcome this move which not only validates the asteroid mining sector as a viable investment opportunity, but also helps grow the overall industry.
What are you going to do with near-Earth objects (NEO) once you'll get them? What kind of use can be made of those objects?
Asteroids contain all the materials we need to live and do business in space. Mining operations will begin by serving the demands of current space businesses such as communications and remote sensing satellites, improving the services they offer. Those initial products will be water, hydrocarbons and structural metals. The long-term possibilities are endless.
After initial missions to determine the best near-Earth objects targets based upon our customer needs (water, etc. for refueling satellites or supplying the ISS for example), Deep Space Industries will begin mining operations. Once a supply chain of materials is established in orbit, it will encourage new applications and new business models as entrepreneurs attempt to introduce even more services that people on Earth find useful. The possibilities are truly endless. Asteroid mining could open up a wealth of new resources for humanity.

James Van Praagh, an author, self-identifying clairvoyant and co-producer of the Jennifer Love Hewitt-starring CBS drama "Ghost Whisperer," will make an appearance (in person, not in spirit) at the renowned Winchester Mystery House in San Jose this May 17.
For a special episode of his live weekly radio show on Hay House Radio (which airs at noon PST on Tuesdays), Van Praagh will broadcast next week's show from the Morning Room of the famed South Bay mansion.
Later that night, he will lead a group of "VIPs" through a guided tour of the mansion (each of whom paid $297 to attend), and invite them to observe a séance. According to a Winchester staff spokesperson, it will be the first séance conducted on the premises for over four decades.
The "Mystery House" gained notoriety when Sarah Winchester, the widow and heir to the Winchester Rifles fortune, began to build out her house to "to appease the spirits of those killed by the guns manufactured by her husband's firearms company." What began as a small farm house eventually burgeoned into a twisting mansion with 160 bedrooms, 10,000 windows, as well as 47 stairways and 2,000 doors — most of which led to walls or were otherwise dead ends.
"We're delighted to welcome James Van Praagh to America's most legendary haunted home and one of California's original historic attractions," Walter Magnuson, General Manager of the Winchester Mystery House, says in a release. "It will be exciting to see what secrets he unlocks within the walls of this renowned estate."
Van Praagh will be returning to the Bay Area as a graduate of San Francisco State's Broadcast and Electronic Communication Arts program.


For the crust: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt. Set aside. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the honey and vanilla. With the machine running, gradually add the dry ingredients and blend until incorporated. Transfer the mixture to a work surface and knead into a dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Set aside.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch diameter circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles of the dough and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough and gently knead together. Roll out until 1/4-inch thick. Cut out additional circles of dough and place on the baking sheet (there should be a total of 15 to 18 circles). Bake until slightly golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
For the berries: In a medium bowl toss together the strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Let the mixture stand for 30 minutes.
For the ricotta topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon zest.
To assemble the tartlets: Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of the ricotta topping in the center of each crust. Using a small spoon, make a shallow well in the ricotta topping and fill with a little of the berry mixture. Arrange on a platter and serve.
