BIL Provision: Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Program
Available until expended
Estimated application opening date, 4th quarter 2022.
Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Program Notice of Intent:
The $2.54 billion Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Program will focus on integrated carbon capture, transport, and storage technologies that can be readily replicated and deployed at fossil energy power plants and major industrial sources of CO2, such as cement, pulp and paper, iron and steel, and certain types of chemical production facilities.
Selected projects will address technical, environmental, permitting, and financing challenges for commercial deployment. Projects will be advanced in multiple phases with a competitive down-selection between Phase 1 and Phase 2. In the first phase, front-end engineering design studies will be completed in parallel with National Environmental Policy Act and permitting compliance. Phases 2-4 call for the detailed design, construction, and operation of six facilities using integrated carbon capture and storage demonstration systems. These demonstration systems will be required to meet specific project goals including the demonstration of at least 95% carbon capture efficiency and verification of secure geologic carbon storage.
More information on the DOE OCED Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Notice of Intent can be found here. A funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will follow in the coming months.

February 14, 1999 - Valentine's Day
INTRO: February 14th is Valentine's Day, a special time for sweethearts. It's a day of wine and roses -- and lots of chocolate. In the spirit of romance, Wordmasters Avi Arditti and Rosanne Skirble introduce you to a writer who helps people who are looking for love.
MUSIC: "Looking for Love"/Johnny Lee
AA: When Americans go looking for love, one place they might check is the personals. I'm Avi Arditti.
RS: And I'm Rosanne Skirble. We're talking about personal advertisements. These "personals" can be found in newspapers, magazines, telephone voice mail services and Internet Web sites.
AA: A personal ad lets you describe who you are and what you're in search of in a mate.
RS: Since the ads are anonymous, you're free to pick and choose from the responses you get.
AA: That's where Susan Fox comes in. Susan Fox is a writer in Boston. After meeting her husband through a personal ad, she's made a full-time job out of writing personals for other people.
RS: Clients pay this former therapist hundreds of dollars to find the several dozen or more words that capture a portrait of themselves.
AA: If you want to catch a fish, you need the right hook. Susan Fox says the hook in this case is the lead line of the ad.
TAPE: CUT ONE -- SUSAN FOX
"Mediterranean soul, Anglo-Saxon head, passionate heart, inquisitive mind, tough but gentle, rugged and earthy. We're not saying he's the world's most gorgeous man. It goes on to say 'once worked as a cowboy.' It's all true. This is a legitimate portrait of who this man is, and I think that is the sort of thing that people have to be very careful about. You don't want to describe yourself as a gorgeous blue-eyed blonde when you're an average looking sort of dumpy brown-haired woman."
RS: Susan Fox calls her Boston company Personals Work. She has clients -- mostly women -- across the country, plus some overseas.
AA: She says about fifty percent of her clients find the lasting relationships they're looking for.
RS: We asked Susan Fox to help us decipher some of the abbreviations that often appear in ordinary personal ads.
TAPE: CUT TWO -- AA/SUSAN FOX
AA: "Attractive slim, swf, ns, nd, iso, slim professional, dwm 35-45, 6 foot plus with traditional values."
SUSAN FOX: "First of all the 'iso' means 'in search of.' We don't use that because I personally believe that it just looks ugly on the paper, that particular abbreviation. Iso, what in the world is that. But it means 'in search of'. 'Ns' is non-smoking. 'Nd,' I'm not sure what 'nd' is. It might be 'non-denominational.' In some places it is non-denominational. That ad is a kind of ad that really doesn't give a sense of who this person is. Again, who is she. She is slim. And she's in search of this guy, but beyond that, who is she?"
AA: Susan Fox says a personal ad should not sound too cute. She says using a term like "Romeo seeks juliet" tends to bring out "weirdos" -- her word.
RS: We asked her for some free advise for those who want to write an ad on their own.
TAPE: CUT THREE -- SUSAN FOX
"If you're a woman, by all means let people know that you are trim, thin or slender if you are because it is sort of damnation by omission. Don't leave that out.
If you are a man and you are professional and you are stable, let women know that because that is a gender difference that we generally find that it is very important to most women that the man be employed, financially responsible, and it's important to most men that she be at least trim and fit and attractive.
AA: And speaking of love this Valentine's Day ...
RS: We'd love you to add your ideas to the Wordmaster Name the Next Decade contest. What should we call the next ten years. You'll get a VOA souvenir just for entering.
AA: The deadline is March 2.
RS: With Avi Arditti, I'm Rosanne Skirble.
MUSIC: "All You Need is Love"/Beatles

Date of Birth Oct 01, 1983
Profession Makeup Artist
Ethnicity Mixed
Siblings Marina Dedvanoic (Sister)
Celebrities who flaunt their glam look during events, shows, or in the movies are only because of their beauticians or make-up artist. It won't be wrong to call the people behind the work of beauty, magicians, who use their makeup brushes as magic wands.
Mario Dedivanoic is also a magician with magic brushes, who is also the reason for the glam look of several well-known celebrities.
Mario, who made his career in the field of glam and fashion, is now one of the most sought-after beauty artists.
Mario Dedvanoic's Bio, Age & Background
Mario was born on 1 October 1983 in The Bronx, New York, United States. He holds American nationality and belongs to Albanian background.
Mario is also a huge family person who is very close to his mother. He often mentions his family on his social media sites and never stops spoiling his mother with unique gifts.

In fact, on the special occasion of Mother's Day, Mario gifted his mother a Cartier love bracelet costing $6,300.

Mario feels very relaxed and comfortable around his family members and his sister, Marina Dedvanoic, alongside his mother, who often accompany him to his Master Classes.
Mario's Career & Net Worth
Mario, who stands at an average height, loved to fabricate himself with fragrances when he was young. Similarly, he turned his passion into a career, and surprisingly, he got his first job in the fragrance section at Sephora.
Mario then curved his interest in another direction when a woman asked him to help her in the selection of lipstick.
After that, Mario became obsessed with makeup and began working on a freelance basis for the FOX News where he got their anchors ready for their appearances.
Eventually, Mario collaborated with Kim Kardashian West and Anastasia Soare in The Masterclass. During the class, Mario shared his ideas and technical skills.
With all his contribution and dedication, Mario might have summoned his net worth in a million or more. And Mario undoubtedly earns more than the average salary of a makeup artist, that is estimated to be $124K.
Mario Dedivanovic Married To Wife Or Gay?
During Mario's career, he has faced several rejections, but still, he went through all the hindrance and stood on his foot.

However, Mario has never talked about his sexuality openly.
But, according to hercampus.com, his boss apparently implied that Mario would never make it as a "gay male make-up artist." Although his boss indicated him as gay, Mario has never talked on the matter.
Mario's personal life is well hidden and kept away from the public eye. He is reportedly not married to a wife, and in fact, he might also not be dating any possible girlfriend.
Mario is quite content with his career and life. He is also best friends with the well-known public figure, Kim Kardashian, who stands at the height of 5 feet 2 inches (1.57 meters), and is close enough to make fun of her.

Fanning the Flames: The Six Day War
"[The victory of the Six Day War] penetrated the Iron Curtain, forging an almost mystic link with Soviet Jews. Like a cry from a distant past, it told us that we were no longer powerless, and no longer alone. We now had a country that wanted us, and a people who stood behind us. But it was not just pride that Israel's victory evoked among the Soviet Jews. It was also a near unheard-of willingness to take on the Kremlin." - Natan Sharansky
"Until June 1967 Soviet Jews had illusions about co-existence with the regime, despite the fact that it wanted to destroy the Jews spiritually. But suddenly they realized that the Soviet government identifies itself with those who wish to destroy the Jewish state.... Russia spat on the Jewish people 'and then we knew that we would never be able to live under such regime'" - David Giladi, summarizing statements made by Soviet immigrants to Israel at the Twenty-eighth World Zionist Congress, Haaretz, 1972.
Personal interview with Alexander (Sasha) Luntz
"Position of invading aggressor." (From Krasnaya Zviedza, Moscow, June 15, 1967.)
"Dayan to Hitler: 'Move over'!" (From Kazakhstanskaya Pravda, Alma Ata, June 21, 1967). Moshe Dayan was a military leader during the Six Day War.
The Six Day War not only reminded Soviet Jews of their roots in Israel, but also gave pride and self awareness to an increasingly assimilationist American Jewish community - a self awareness vital to a movement based on collective identity. Additionally, the realization that there was a Jewish homeland that would accept them gave Soviet Jews a pull to accompany the push of antisemitism.

Morning everyone! I hope you're having the best weekend 🙂 and to make it even lovelier I have a gorgeous – and I mean incredible – wedding to share with you this shiny Sunday morning. You're welcome.
I've mentioned (many times hehe) that May is my favourite month. That's for me – it's summer, it's birthday month, it's when flowers come out… but it's also an amazing time for the English Wedding Blog because of the glorious sunny weddings, fantastic flowers and beautiful submissions I can share with you. Today's a wonderful example of a May wedding and I know you'll love it to bits!
I was very pleased with my wedding photographer. He was very down to earth and friendly so my husband and I felt very relaxed/comfortable with him and our photos are amazing, we couldn't be happier!
The most overwhelming, emotional, moving and happiest day of our lives.
It was fantastic, we couldn't believe how much we loved every single one and how we could feel the emotions we had at the time they were being taken, just by looking at them!
Rustic English country garden theme.
Online research and word of mouth/recommendations.
Break it down, do plenty of research so you know what's a good price and what isn't, and then set yourself a budget for each item.
I made my invitations, menus and thank you cards myself with items from hobby craft and online.
I didn't fall in love with my wedding dress until after I had ordered it as I was always worrying 'what if I find a better one' it was such a relief when I finally made the decision!
I had diamanté encrusted shoes by Carvella Kurt Geiger, a pearl and diamanté hair piece/tiara from halo, pearl and diamond earrings from Fraser hart, pearl and diamond necklace from an individual jewellers in Clifton (fosters) and a pearl bracelet from Pravins.
My husband wore a tailor made 3 piece single breasted navy suit from Pakeman Catto & Carter in Cirencester, a matt silk tie the same colour as the bridesmaids dresses from Dessy (the make of our bridesmaid dresses), socks the same colour as the bridesmaids from Dessy and back leather with navy suede loafers from Russell and Bromley.
Our bridesmaids wore soft sage green chiffon dresses with sequinned straps by Dessy.
Being a Beauty Therapist myself I did my own make up, the same also for my sister in law. My boss did my mum and other bridesmaids make-up's as part of our wedding gift.
The bridesmaids held bunches of gypsophila bound in rustic twine with pearl pins. I carried a bouquet of cream roses, double freesias, gypsophila and delicate fern leafs (my maiden name was 'fern') my bouquet was also bound in rustic twine with pearl pins. The table flowers were cream roses, freesias, gerberas and fern leafs in big terracotta garden pots.
The venue was beautiful in its own right with lots of character and didn't need any decoration but I did want to create a rustic country garden theme, so I hand made lots of cream, green and hessian bunting on rustic twine that I hung on the ceremony table, guest book table, stairs out to the grounds, drinks reception table and cake table. I also had lots of hearts dotted around the place, slate and wooden etc.
My husband made our wedding post box and I also put together toiletries etc for the rest rooms in rustic wooden boxes.
I made our table names which were garden herbs on rustic brown coloured cardboard and were slotted in rustic copper hearts in the flower pot centre pieces, they had matching menus too.
The favours were small slate hearts that I threaded rustic twine through and wrote guests names on in chalk so they were also name places. The guest book was a rustic brown ring book that I stuck cream material hearts onto.
We had wedding cup cakes instead of a traditional tier of cakes. They were placed on a special tiered cup cake stand on a round table and then the table was covered also. Half of them were cream with green hearts on to match the bridesmaid dresses and the other half were green with cream hearts on, they were in cream butterfly cases.
We were lucky that we had beautiful weather on our wedding day which were hoping for so guests could enjoy the beautiful grounds during the day and no need for entertainment just canapés and champagne! In the evening we had a dj.
I would advise brides to work out timings for when bride, bridesmaids and mother of the bride will be having their hair and make up done to eliminate panic and also, to overestimate rather than think that should be enough time! If the bride and groom are staying at same venue the night before as I did then breakfast needs to be scheduled also so you don't accidentally see each other! I would also recommend a 'travelling to the venue time table/schedule' so you're not late!
Get the men to do speeches before the wedding breakfast so they can relax and enjoy the meal rather than being nervous the whole meal! I suggested this to my husband but he thought he would prefer a few more drinks for Dutch courage but regretted this as he was worrying and didn't relax during the wedding breakfast. Most importantly, try not to worry about the vows, I wasn't really listening to the meaning of the vows my husband was making to me as I was trying to remember what he was saying as I had to say it next, this is not necessary as the registrar says them in very short sections so there is no chance of forgetting, you're also facing your groom rather than your guests so relax and forget that they are there and concentrate on your groom! Enjoy every moment!

Alternative Financing Vs. Venture Capital: Which Option Is Best for Boosting Working Capital?
There are several potential financing options available to cash-strapped businesses that need a healthy dose of working capital. A bank loan or line of credit is often the first option that owners think of – and for businesses that qualify, this may be the best option.
In today's uncertain business, economic and regulatory environment, qualifying for a bank loan can be difficult – especially for start-up companies and those that have experienced any type of financial difficulty. Sometimes, owners of businesses that don't qualify for a bank loan decide that seeking venture capital or bringing on equity investors are other viable options.
But are they really? While there are some potential benefits to bringing venture capital and so-called "angel" investors into your business, there are drawbacks as well. Unfortunately, owners sometimes don't think about these drawbacks until the ink has dried on a contract with a venture capitalist or angel investor – and it's too late to back out of the deal.
Different Types of Financing
One problem with bringing in equity investors to help provide a working capital boost is that working capital and equity are really two different types of financing.
Working capital – or the money that is used to pay business expenses incurred during the time lag until cash from sales (or accounts receivable) is collected – is short-term in nature, so it should be financed via a short-term financing tool. Equity, however, should generally be used to finance rapid growth, business expansion, acquisitions or the purchase of long-term assets, which are defined as assets that are repaid over more than one 12-month business cycle.
But the biggest drawback to bringing equity investors into your business is a potential loss of control. When you sell equity (or shares) in your business to venture capitalists or angels, you are giving up a percentage of ownership in your business, and you may be doing so at an inopportune time. With this dilution of ownership most often comes a loss of control over some or all of the most important business decisions that must be made.
Sometimes, owners are enticed to sell equity by the fact that there is little (if any) out-of-pocket expense. Unlike debt financing, you don't usually pay interest with equity financing. The equity investor gains its return via the ownership stake gained in your business. But the long-term "cost" of selling equity is always much higher than the short-term cost of debt, in terms of both actual cash cost as well as soft costs like the loss of control and stewardship of your company and the potential future value of the ownership shares that are sold.
Alternative Financing Solutions
But what if your business needs working capital and you don't qualify for a bank loan or line of credit? Alternative financing solutions are often appropriate for injecting working capital into businesses in this situation. Three of the most common types of alternative financing used by such businesses are:
1. Full-Service Factoring – Businesses sell outstanding accounts receivable on an ongoing basis to a commercial finance (or factoring) company at a discount. The factoring company then manages the receivable until it is paid. Factoring is a well-established and accepted method of temporary alternative finance that is especially well-suited for rapidly growing companies and those with customer concentrations.
2. Accounts Receivable (A/R) Financing – A/R financing is an ideal solution for companies that are not yet bankable but have a stable financial condition and a more diverse customer base. Here, the business provides details on all accounts receivable and pledges those assets as collateral. The proceeds of those receivables are sent to a lockbox while the finance company calculates a borrowing base to determine the amount the company can borrow. When the borrower needs money, it makes an advance request and the finance company advances money using a percentage of the accounts receivable.
3. Asset-Based Lending (ABL) – This is a credit facility secured by all of a company's assets, which may include A/R, equipment and inventory. Unlike with factoring, the business continues to manage and collect its own receivables and submits collateral reports on an ongoing basis to the finance company, which will review and periodically audit the reports.
In addition to providing working capital and enabling owners to maintain business control, alternative financing may provide other benefits as well:
It's easy to determine the exact cost of financing and obtain an increase.
Professional collateral management can be included depending on the facility type and the lender.
Real-time, online interactive reporting is often available.
It may provide the business with access to more capital.
It's flexible – financing ebbs and flows with the business' needs.
It's important to note that there are some circumstances in which equity is a viable and attractive financing solution. This is especially true in cases of business expansion and acquisition and new product launches – these are capital needs that are not generally well suited to debt financing. However, equity is not usually the appropriate financing solution to solve a working capital problem or help plug a cash-flow gap.
Remember that business equity is a precious commodity that should only be considered under the right circumstances and at the right time. When equity financing is sought, ideally this should be done at a time when the company has good growth prospects and a significant cash need for this growth. Ideally, majority ownership (and thus, absolute control) should remain with the company founder(s).
Alternative financing solutions like factoring, A/R financing and ABL can provide the working capital boost many cash-strapped businesses that don't qualify for bank financing need – without diluting ownership and possibly giving up business control at an inopportune time for the owner. If and when these companies become bankable later, it's often an easy transition to a traditional bank line of credit. Your banker may be able to refer you to a commercial finance company that can offer the right type of alternative financing solution for your particular situation.
Taking the time to understand all the different financing options available to your business, and the pros and cons of each, is the best way to make sure you choose the best option for your business. The use of alternative financing can help your company grow without diluting your ownership. After all, it's your business – shouldn't you keep as much of it as possible?
SPDN: An Inexpensive Way To Profit When The S&P 500 Falls
SPDN is not the largest or oldest way to short the S&P 500, but it's a solid choice.
This ETF uses a variety of financial instruments to target a return opposite that of the S&P 500 Index.
SPDN's 0.49% Expense Ratio is nearly half that of the larger, longer-tenured -1x Inverse S&P 500 ETF.
Details aside, the potential continuation of the equity bear market makes single-inverse ETFs an investment segment investor should be familiar with.
We rate SPDN a Strong Buy because we believe the risks of a continued bear market greatly outweigh the possibility of a quick return to a bull market.
Put a gear stick into R position, (Reverse).
Birdlkportfolio
By Rob Isbitts
The S&P 500 is in a bear market, and we don't see a quick-fix. Many investors assume the only way to navigate a potentially long-term bear market is to hide in cash, day-trade or "just hang in there" while the bear takes their retirement nest egg.
The Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 1X ETF (NYSEARCA:SPDN) is one of a class of single-inverse ETFs that allow investors to profit from down moves in the stock market.
SPDN is an unleveraged, liquid, low-cost way to either try to hedge an equity portfolio, profit from a decline in the S&P 500, or both. We rate it a Strong Buy, given our concern about the intermediate-term outlook for the global equity market.
SPDN keeps it simple. If the S&P 500 goes up by X%, it should go down by X%. The opposite is also expected.
Proprietary ETF Grades
Offense/Defense: Defense
Segment: Inverse Equity
Sub-Segment: Inverse S&P 500
Correlation (vs. S&P 500): Very High (inverse)
Expected Volatility (vs. S&P 500): Similar (but opposite)
Holding Analysis
SPDN does not rely on shorting individual stocks in the S&P 500. Instead, the managers typically use a combination of futures, swaps and other derivative instruments to create a portfolio that consistently aims to deliver the opposite of what the S&P 500 does.
SPDN is a fairly "no-frills" way to do what many investors probably wished they could do during the first 9 months of 2022 and in past bear markets: find something that goes up when the "market" goes down. After all, bonds are not the answer they used to be, commodities like gold have, shall we say, lost their luster. And moving to cash creates the issue of making two correct timing decisions, when to get in and when to get out. SPDN and its single-inverse ETF brethren offer a liquid tool to use in a variety of ways, depending on what a particular investor wants to achieve.
The weakness of any inverse ETF is that it does the opposite of what the market does, when the market goes up. So, even in bear markets when the broader market trend is down, sharp bear market rallies (or any rallies for that matter) in the S&P 500 will cause SPDN to drop as much as the market goes up.
While inverse ETFs have a reputation in some circles as nothing more than day-trading vehicles, our own experience with them is, pardon the pun, exactly the opposite! We encourage investors to try to better-understand single inverse ETFs like SPDN. While traders tend to gravitate to leveraged inverse ETFs (which actually are day-trading tools), we believe that in an extended bear market, SPDN and its ilk could be a game-saver for many portfolios.
SPDN and most other single inverse ETFs are vulnerable to a sustained rise in the price of the index it aims to deliver the inverse of. But that threat of loss in a rising market means that when an investor considers SPDN, they should also have a game plan for how and when they will deploy this unique portfolio weapon.
Proprietary Technical Ratings
Short-Term Rating (next 3 months): Strong Buy
Long-Term Rating (next 12 months): Buy
ETF Quality Opinion
SPDN does what it aims to do, and has done so for over 6 years now. For a while, it was largely-ignored, given the existence of a similar ETF that has been around much longer. But the more tenured SPDN has become, the more attractive it looks as an alternative.
ETF Investment Opinion
SPDN is rated Strong Buy because the S&P 500 continues to look as vulnerable to further decline. And, while the market bottomed in mid-June, rallied, then waffled since that time, our proprietary macro market indicators all point to much greater risk of a major decline from this level than a fast return to bull market glory. Thus, SPDN is at best a way to exploit and attack the bear, and at worst a hedge on an otherwise equity-laden portfolio.

Q: Camera orthographic size certain width How do we can set a certain size of units for defining the width of the Orthographic size of the camera in the portrait mode?
I want to set the horizontal dimension to the 5 meters exactly from the center-left to the center-right of the screen for any mobile device? how can I achieve this? I've found this piece of code from a video clip but I don't understand it and I think it does not help me since I don't have a game field and also my game world will be generated automatically during the game (it's an infinite 2D scrolling game).
[SerializeField] private SpriteRenderer gameField;
void Start()
{
    float screenRatio = (float)Screen.width / (float)Screen.height;
    float targetRatio = gameField.bounds.size.x / gameField.bounds.size.y;

    if (screenRatio > targetRatio)
    {
        Camera.main.orthographicSize = gameField.bounds.size.y / 2;
    }
    else
    {
        float differenceInSize = targetRatio / screenRatio;
        Camera.main.orthographicSize = gameField.bounds.size.y / 2 * differenceInSize;
    }
}

I don't know why unity doesn't handle these issues automatically?

A: I have found the video you have been talking about and it is actually pretty simple. For reference, it is this video. I will try to explain it to you.
These 5 boxes represent all content that you want to show on your screen. You want your camera to always adjust itself so it fits all of those boxes inside of it.

To archive this you have to multiply the width of our boxes (all of our boxes are 1 meter wide in all dimensions) by the screen height devided by the screen width. You then want to divide that number by two.
boxes.width * screen.height / screen.width * 0.5

In our code it looks like this:
public float sizeInMeters;

void Start()
{
    float orthoSize = sizeInMeters * Screen.height / Screen.width * 0.5f;

    Camera.main.orthographicSize = orthoSize;
}

If you want to have five meters to the left and right from the middle then put in 10 into the sizeInMeters variable. If your total screen width from left to right should only cover 5 meters you have to put in 5 into the sizeInMeters variable.
The if inside of your code is only there if you want the user to be able to flip his phone into a vertical position.

A new Christmas pageant shows off the fierce side of Mary
A new Christmas pageant at a church in Spokane skips the camels and wise men and focuses on the Magnificat—a biblical song from Mary that challenges the status quo.

Bob Smietana
SPOKANE, Wash. (RNS) — If you ask the Rev. Katy Fitz Shedlock, there is something wrong with the way Mary is portrayed in most church Christmas pageants.
She's boring.
Mary is often played as the "most perfect, most boring girl," said Fitz Shedlock.
"She's just a silent prop up there, holding a baby and looking sweet," she said. "But she's way fiercer and more powerful than that."
This Christmas the pastor is revamping the Nativity drama at Creator's Table, a congregation she co-pastors in Spokane, to show off Mary's fierce side.
Dubbed the "Deleted Scenes Christmas Pageant," the play skips most of the traditional elements of the Christmas story. There are no wise men, no shepherds, no camels or sheep and no star in the sky.
Joseph is mentioned in the pageant but he's offstage. And most of the events take place before the birth of Jesus.
Instead, the pageant, which portrays Mary as a modern, strong teenage woman, emphasizes a portion of the Christmas narrative called the Magnificat.
Also known as the Song of Mary, the Magnificat is found in the Gospel of Luke, when Mary visits her relative Elizabeth, who is pregnant as well.
In the first part of the Magnificat, Mary gives praise for being chosen to mother Jesus. In the second half, though, her message changes, said Robert Tannehill, emeritus professor at Methodist Theological School in Ohio.
"She talks about God overthrowing human rulers and overturning society and showing strength against the proud and the rich," he said. "Mary is important for her role as the mother of the Messiah, but is also a representative of the people of low status, the oppressed."
The Rev. Jonathan Myers, co-pastor of Creator's Table, agrees.
"Her tone is often meek and mild, but she's talking about overthrowing the system," Myers said.
In the Deleted Scenes Christmas Pageant, Mary will be played by a teenage girl from a nearby Methodist church, who wears a baggy hoodie, gets kicked out of her house, texts Joseph and talks back to the angel Gabriel.
Instead of a meek, sinless girl, Fitz Shedlock, a competitive slam poet, said she wants the audience to see Mary as a troublemaker, someone who isn't afraid of upsetting the status quo.
The pageant idea stemmed from a poem she wrote last year about Mary and the Magnificat, called "Hail Mary."

In it Fitz Shedlock writes:
"We skip the moment
where she walks up to the mic,
a teenager starting to show,
she makes us nervous
she might say anything —
she speaks.
in magnificent poetry,
the verses fly by,
more of them than any other woman in the New Testament."
Christmas pageants at churches have a long history. St. Francis of Assisi is credited with staging the first Nativity scene, according to his biographer, St. Bonaventure.
And pageants remain an effective way of engaging worshippers, said Fitz Shedlock, a Methodist minister who co-pastors the Creators Table with Myers, an Episcopal priest. The congregation uses spoken word, stand-up comedy, live art and other alternative worship experiences in its services.
"That's the power of the tradition of pageants, whether they be Christmas pageants or Passion plays; there's a lot of power in asking people to incarnate a story," Fitz Shedlock said.
Ultimately, the pastors hope those who see the pageant on Dec. 23 will rethink the Christmas story — and view Mary as anything but boring.
"I think the No. 1 hope is that Mary would be uncovered and become more of a three-dimensional human being," Fitz Shedlock said. "Maybe it will leave some questions in folks' minds about what we choose to show or not show and why."

WATCH: Ontario PC House Leader says Ford doing a 'spectacular job' managing the pandemic
The reporter, unsatisfied with the answer, objected to Calandra's insistence that the pandemic was being handled well.
Noah David Alter Toronto
Apr 21, 2021 minute read
Ontario Progressive Conservative House Leader Paul Calandra said on Wednesday that Premier Doug Ford is doing a "spectacular job" managing the third wave of the coronavirus pandemic, according to CP24.
When asked by a reporter if he still has "confidence in Doug Ford to remain as Premier," Calandra said that "the Premier has done a spectacular job throughout this.
"This is a challenging time," Calandra continued. "I can't imagine that anybody would have been able to right how we would handle this. If you look across the country, governments whether it is in British Columbia all the way through to Newfoundland have had challenges and different challenges that we've had to face throughout this pandemic."
Newfoundland and Labrador has recorded a little over 1,000 cases of coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic and only six deaths, while British Columbia has recorded 121,000 cases and 1,539 deaths.
Ontario, meanwhile, has recorded 429,000 cases and 7,789 deaths from the virus, numbers which vastly outpace both provinces even after taking into account differences in population.
"Early on it was challenges in long-term care. We addressed those challenges and we're very optimistic about the changes that we're seeing in long-term care," Calandra said.
"We had historical deficiencies in Ontario that had to be addressed and we were starting to address those before the pandemic. I talked in the House about our ICU capacity. That was something that we were addressing ahead of the pandemic, and the lack of the capacity in the province of Ontario, the lack of health and human resources capacity made it more difficult in the pandemic.
"So the Premier is doing a great job, we've been working very closely with our counterparts across the country."
Calandra argued that other countries such as Italy and Germany are also facing a difficult third wave of the virus.
These are very challenging times that require governments to move quickly, and there is no playbook for this, but we are doing the that best we can to address the needs of the people of the province of Ontario and Canadians as a whole."
"We're talking about at least hundreds of avoidable deaths in the third wave, the hospital system is on the verge of collapse," the reporter said. "How much worse do things need to get before Paul Calandra no longer has confidence in this Premier?"
Calandra placed blame on the previous government while touting the accomplishments of Premier Ford, but did not directly address the reporter's question.

The NG Garwen SPZL launched today, where the new Adidas shoe was inspired by the iconic Noel Gallagher's vintage Brisbanes. The Garwen SPZL is a range developed from the Brisbane boot, which were originally launched in the 1980s from the Adidas leisure series.
The limited edition shoe was designed with the help of the famous member of Oasis. The shoe is made up of premium leather and all navy upper, and the sole is reference to the original leisure series. The shoe has a split footbed, finished with Noel's portrait and carries his birthday 'serial number' inside the collar.
adidas has continued to pioneer brand and fan co-creation with the introduction of UltraBOOST Uncaged, a shoe inspired by consumer customisation and perfected by the innovation experts of adidas Running.
In 2015, global trendsetters sparked a craze for modifying adidas' leading running shoe, UltraBOOST, cutting off its external support cage to show off the stylish Primeknit upper.
UltraBOOST Uncaged features an adapted internal midfoot skeleton using technology developed for the world's top track athletes, to deliver highly technical support and comfort within the fan-inspired sleek new look.

Can you recommend any poker tools for Android, which I can use during my live and online sessions?
Basically I'm looking for something like PokerTracker, but for mobile.
I need to be able to track my sessions, and evaluate it later.
3) "Poker Agent" - bankroll management tool, similar to "Holdem Manager"
4) "Donkey Tracker" - poker tracking for live poker. This app creates a simple HUD (heads up display) for live casino poker.
Also I noted, that you have to manually-enter your hands every time, so if you know any automated tool for online sessions - let me know.

, is a 3D action video game for the Nintendo DS based on the anime, Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The game involves four main characters who control their mobile suits, performing interventions against various conflicts around the world. It was developed by BEC, and published by Namco Games.

Gameplay
There are four main parts to the gameplay: discussion, mission choice, getting ready for battle, and mission itself. Starting off with the setting, players will commence dialogue and retrieve information to continue the plot although this is optional and can be skipped. Then, players choose a mission to accept. Players are able to choose a Gundam Meister of their choice, with a gundam that may be suited for the mission. The aim of the game is to deplete the military strength, represented by a health bar, of the three nations which dominate the world: the Union, Advance European Union and the Human Reform League. Each of the pilots have an advantage against their home nation except for Tieria who has a small advantage against each bloc.

There are two types of missions: scenario and normal. Scenario missions follow the anime plot whereas normal missions are interventions not shown in the anime. Normal missions can be unlocked by completing certain scenario missions. There are a total of 23 scenario and 30 normal missions. Within scenario missions, there are a number of bosses that may require the user to either complete the missions as well as beat them. There are a total of 7 different endings: one good, one normal, and 5 bad endings. Good ending is selected when all Union, Human Reform League, and AEU lose almost all of their army, and lets the player face the three Trinity Gundam meisters. Then battle simulation 3 appears when starting a new game, which lets the player face the Trinity Gundam meisters once again.

There are two unlockable mobile suits in the game. After beating the game twice, the option of three battle simulations becomes available. Face all four, including the character, Celestial Being Gundam meisters in battle simulation 2 to unlock Gundam Exia Roll Out Colour Ver., as well as Gundam Nadleeh. While in the confirmation screen, holding "down and the select button" while selecting "Setsuna F Seiei" lets the user to play as Exia Roll Out Colour Ver., and selecting "Tieria Erde" while holding "down and the select button" allows the player to play as Nadleeh instead of Virtue.

GUNPLA Navi

There is a special mode, first time in all of Gundam games, called GUNPLA NAVI, which provides advice on how to create and customize real Gundam models (aka Gunpla) that are sold by Bandai in Japan. There's a lesson and also some information on Mobile Suit Gundam 00 edition Gundam models. In the lesson, on the top screen, the image of Gundam parts are shown. Few of them show the comparison between the before and after image of them. On the bottom screen, descriptions of the parts shown, and the instructions and advice to get the image shown in the top screen.

There are also FG Series, HG Series, Others, and HCM-Pro Series gallery. The information in the navi are from at the time of January 2009. FG Series gallery shows Exia, Dynames, Kyrios, and Virtue models. HG Series gallery also shows them but with the addition of Tieren, Union Flag, and Graham Aker's Union Flag Custom models. In Others, 1/100 Exia and Dynames models, as well as 1/60 Exia model is shown. And in HEM-Pro Series gallery, Exia, Dynames, Kyrios, and Virtue models are shown. All galleries show the model from front and rear, as well as in some of their action pose, and ends with a brief description of the cost and others.

San Jose: Verdict reached in 2009 "Thrill Kill"…
San Jose: Verdict reached in 2009 "Thrill Kill" slaying of Santa Teresa High student
By Robert Salonga | rsalonga@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
SAN JOSE — The verdict is expected to be announced Wednesday morning in the trial of a young man accused of slaying of a 15-year-old Santa Teresa High School student for thrills.
Defendant Jae Williams, now 20, was 15 in 2009 when prosecutors say he and alleged accomplice Randy Thompson strolled over to Michael Russell's house carrying two knives, lured him outside with the prospect of smoking marijuana, then tackled and repeatedly stabbed and possibly choked the boy to death in his own South San Jose backyard.
The jury deliberated for only one day after a month-long trial, reaching a verdict late Tuesday.
Williams was tried as an adult in the killing. Thompson, who was 16 when the Nov. 10, 2009, killing occurred, will stand trial after Williams' case. Both face life sentences if they are convicted.
The prosecution contended that Williams is guilty of first-degree murder for concocting and carrying out a manipulative and sadistic plan to befriend and kill Michael. In a videotaped confession two days after Michael was killed, Williams told San Jose homicide detectives that he and Thompson dabbled in Satanism and had already beaten a cat to death, adding, "I guess I just finally wanted to kill somebody. I had my chance and took it."
During the interview, Williams offered several versions of his role in the brutal stabbing, ranging from merely watching Thompson to tackling Michael and pinning him down to slitting his throat to make sure he was dead. Prosecutor Valerie McGuire told jurors Monday in her closing argument that Williams was guilty of premeditated murder even if they believed he only aided and abetted Thompson.
The evidence against Williams included a chef's knife stolen from Thompson's kitchen and stained with Michael's blood, and a sweatshirt containing Williams' DNA and Michael's blood. Williams told police he tossed the weapon, sweatshirt and another blood-stained jacket with Thompson's DNA in a dumpster; police found them nearby in the bushes.
Defense attorney Lewis Romero contended that Thompson and his older brother carried out the killing, and that the Thompson family engaged in a cover-up. He also brought in experts who testified that Williams gave a false confession, in part because he was sleep-deprived from being kept overnight in a holding cell at the station.
McGuire said Michael was "butchered" by the two defendants, who stabbed him at least 12 times. The causes of death were stabbing and asphyixiation, either from a stab wound or from being choked. The attack lasted six minutes, according to Williams' confession.
Michael was found later that night by his uncle, whose plaintive attempts to revive him were heard by the jury via a 911 recording.
In his closing argument Monday, Romero tried to persuade jurors to acquit Williams, saying at least twice that he is personally opposed to "locking children up in adult cages for the rest of their lives." Jurors are barred from factoring potential sentences in their decision, and Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Arthur Bocanegra ordered them to discount the remark.
Thompson's trial is likely to start next month. Bocanegra decided to hold consecutive trials because Thompson and Williams each implicated each other in police interviews.

Your time has come—take charge with Necrozma on your side!


You know I always keep up with the latest news, and recently I read about this old lady who has made it to 101. She was questioned about how she has made it to this ripe old age; her answer was that she attributes this to the fact that she has 4 (four!) alcoholic drinks every day. Here is what's been keeping her up on the green side: 2 glasses of red wine with her lunch, then a cocktail of Southern Comfort (ugh, eek, ach) at dinnertime, then a bottle of beer at bedtime.
I don't know if this is going to work out with the Warden — it probably has about as much of a chance as that snowball in hell. At least I can give it a try — no harm in trying.
But right now I have to find a phone and call my old friend, Annie Lund, to give her the news. She is only 94 until October, so it will do her good to get started immediately. She would absolutely hate it if I were to keep this great news all to myself. I have been drinking this "Nopalea." Juice for about a year, and failed to mention it to her. I am just now getting back in her good graces after I told her about it a month ago. It must be good for us because it is juice from the cactus, and you know where Tequila comes from. Anyway, there we are just guzzling away.
I think she is drinking 2/3 times what I take every day — just trying to catch up.
Tell her you'll split them up; two in the afternoon and two in the evening. Good Luck!
I hope the warden let's you..who knows you might be 120 and still enjoying the wonderful product from that great plant agave.
Love to hear about you and Annie!

LIG Nex1 Delivers New Coastal Surveillance Systems to ROK Navy
LIG Nex1 and South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) started deliveries of a new coastal surveillance system to the Republic of Korea Navy (ROK Navy).
Xavier Vavasseur 05 Nov 2019
Called locally "Maritime Surveillance Radar-II" (해상감시레이더-II), the system is installed on major coastal and island areas to detect ships and aircraft. It is linked with the centralized C4I system of the ROK Navy and port surveillance system (of the Korea Coast Guard) to share the track information of assets detected on and above the waters around the Korean Peninsula.
The new system replaces older radars developed in cooperation with the United States and fielded in 1983. Due to the obsolescence of technology and the aging of the existing equipment, the accuracy of target identification decreased. There were also growing challenges in supporting and maintaining these old, analog systems for long-term operation.
According to DAPA, the newly developed Marine Surveillance Radar-II has greatly improved the stability and performance of the equipment compared to the existing radar thanks to the operational feedback from the ROK Navy who has operated the previous system for 30 years.
In particular, its ability to calculate bearings and distances has been improved, resulting in improved detection and accuracy, as compared to existing radars, greatly improving the ability to isolate and identify adjacent targets.
In addition, by applying a radome with a protective cover on the outside of the radar antenna, the ROK Navy will now be able to operate the coastal surveillance radar without interruption (without being affected by strong winds and typhoons).
The new system has a great deal of localized content (such as high-power transmitter) and will be available for export.

Jang Beom-jun, the former frontman of Busker Busker, will be discharged from the military on Oct. 10, the Army's Capital Defense Command said on Friday.
The singer tore one of his knee ligaments while playing football at the command's 52nd Homeland Defense Infantry Division in May, according to the Army. He applied for an exemption from military service on Aug. 29, citing the injury.
His request was accepted on Friday, the Army said, allowing Jang to leave the military five months earlier than expected. In South Korea, every able-bodied man between the ages of 18 and 35 is required to serve at least two years in the military.
Jang shot to fame when his band, Busker Busker, appeared on season three of the Mnet singing competition "Superstar K." Although the group disbanded in 2013 to focus on their solo careers, their 2012 song "Cherry Blossom Ending" (2012) is still a perennial hit, re-emerging every spring at the top of music charts.


Low carb meals are essential for type 2 diabetics if they are serious about overcoming the condition. Unfortunately though, it appears that most conventional dieticians and nutritionists as well as doctors keep recommending the same old high-carb, low-fat approach combined with a controlled calorie intake.
Whilst this approach may be marginally effective for some people suffering from the disease (simply because they're reducing the food intake), it isn't likely to work for most type 2 diabetics because a high carbohydrate intake still invokes an insulin response every time a meal is consumed.
If a diabetic is having 5 or 6 small meals a day, this means they should have around 10 grams of carbs or less per meal. This equates to 1/2 a banana, an orange, 1 rice cake, 200mls of low-fat milk, 100mls of fruit juice, 50g steamed sweet potato, 50g sweet corn, 100g peas, and lots of the low-density vegetables like, carrot, green beans, tomato, cucumber, strawberries, broccoli, cauliflower, bean sprouts, spinach, etc.
It is best for type 2 diabetics to avoid the high-density carbohydrate sources like, bread, pasta, rice and cereals until they have overcome the condition. After that they can slowly re-introduce carbohydrates back into their diet but still have some meals that are low in carbs.
However, they must still control their intake of carbohydrates somewhat (as should most people) and should also incorporate other lifestyle habits that are beneficial in keeping their blood sugar level stable. For example, resistance exercise, aerobic exercise and the occasional use of glucose disposal agents such as those contained in MultiSpice would definitely be beneficial.
Type 2 diabetics should focus on having more protein and good fats in their low carb meals. By doing this they can easily keep their blood sugar level stable, insulin low and can easily keep their appetite under control. Eating this way may require more planning and preparation of meals but when it comes to your health, it is definitely time well spent.
The main reason why low carb meals are beneficial for diabetics is simply because they help to keep insulin low. Since type 2 diabetes is characterised by insulin resistance, in order to reverse the condition, the receptors on the cell membranes need to be encouraged to 'open up' to insulin again. This may be done by using the strategies mentioned earlier, particularly by eating meals that are low in carbs.
An easy way to create meals that are low in carbs is to start by being aware of the macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein and fat) contained in most common foods. In my e-book, Your Complete Type 2 Diabetes Treatment Plan I have included a Macronutrient Information Table that contains groupings of foods based on their predominant macronutrient. I also break carbs into high, medium and low-density groups. The approximate calorie contents and grams of all 3 macronutrients are also included for each food. This makes the process of creating low carb meals much easier. There are also some sample meal options but these provide a more balanced macronutrient profile (as opposed to being low carb meals), which is a more long-term sustainable approach to nutrition for people who want to lose weight and keep it off long term.
