Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports
Well, It's been a while since the 6th commit of the 2018 class, Josh Jynes, took the pledge to be a Buff. But this is par for the course for CU classes. Often, there is a period of about a month or so in the early summer under Coach MacIntyre where there is little news on the recruiting front. That's not to say that nothing is happening, but just that nothing official is happening. Offers are being sent out, relationships strengthened, and visits set up. But all of this happens after that period. Why? One, coaches need vacation, too. Give them a bit after spring ball. Two, Coach Mac bases a lot of his recruiting off of camp season.
What's camp season? Well, unlike Jim Harbaugh's camp season, which involves sleeping bags and actual camping, Coach MacIntyre loves in-person evaluation. He'll offer all of the obvious talents, but the camp season is where he extends a lot of offers and makes further plans with recruits. Well, that camp season just started up again, so get ready for recruiting to kick into high gear. Until then, here's a quick recap of what we deem to be newsworthy stories from the quieter months.
Current Commits
Before focusing on what the Buffs are pursuing, let's take a second and look back on what they have. All of CU's commits are right in line with last year's fantastic class, and may even be better as a baseline. That was verified over the past few months or so as all commits have added big-time offers. Sans Blake Stenstrom and Ray Robinson, who have both shut down their recruitment so hard that other schools have stopped calling, all other commits received Power 5 offers recently. CU often finds these guys first, and now their track record demands that other schools look into them. Walker Culver, an OT with one other offer when he committed to CU, has added offers from virtually every regional Power 5 program (he lives in Tennessee), but continues to be solid to the Buffs. RB Max Borghi (from Colorado) added Pac-12 offers from Utah, Cal, and Wazzu, as well as a regional offer from Kansas State. He still is locked in with CU, and should continue to be if the status quo remains. Joshka Gustav, the huge German athlete from California, had an offer from Oregon State and has the regional big programs sniffing around. Finally, Josh Jynes, the center from DeSoto High School in Dallas, added a big offer from West Virginia. He was the last recruit without a Power 5 offer, and WVU, which recruits Texas hard, is a good offer to get. He is still sticking with CU, so only good news for us, but something to keep an eye on, as an offer from a Big 12 program to Texas kid can be trouble.
Despite shutting down his recruitment, Blake Stenstrom still made waves by becoming one of 25 quarterbacks invited to the Elite 11 camp. A rare feat for CU QB commits, Strenstrom showed well, but not well enough to advance to the finals. By all accounts, he showcased himself well, with the poise and polish expected from the son of an NFL QB. The depth chart at quarterback is beautiful. Almost the exact opposite of what Buff fans are used to this decade.
These current commits keep blowing up, which only helps CU's profile.
Potential Commits
It doesn't matter who else CU gets, this will be the best recruit for the Buffs since Nate Bonsu. Brock Sturges, from the very best high school in the country, ALLEN HIGH SCHOOL, is making his summer tour and included the Buffs in his stops. Sturges is a thick running back who makes all the shifty cuts you like to see. If Buff fans are so inclined, when you watch his quick feet and phone-booth cuts, you can imagine Speedy Stewart incarnate. And he's not destroying scrubs, either. Allen, as the best high school ever, only plays other best Texas high schools, so his production is solid. Sturges wants to make a decision before the school year, and if there's one thing to bet on with CU recruiting, it's Darian Hagan getting his running back.

Another Texas athlete that is interested in the Buffs is Maureece Wren. Anytime you read the headline "Dallas Area Three-Star Maureese Wren Lands 'Dream Offer'", and it's referring to the Buffs, you have to feel good about their chances (full article, if interested $). Wren is a large human being, standing at about 6'4 and 220 pounds, and could fit in at either WR or "Buffbacker". He has great overall athleticism and elite size for either position. I would prefer him on defense, where CU can finally get the freak athlete bending the edge. Either way, this would be a great get for the Buffs.
Finally, CU is going to get summer visits from plenty of big-time athletes, and have already hosted some ballers. If you can get someone to Boulder, you always have a shot at them, and it seems that this year, more focus is being put on bringing kids into town. Daniel Arias is one of those kids.
June 22nd I will be taking an unofficial to Colorado! #CUin18 pic.twitter.com/oI7R4dcmQb
— Daniel Arias7⃣ (@Darias_7) May 8, 2017
It seems like a big-bodied wide receiver is a priority this class, and Arias is certainly big. At 6'4 and just over 200, he is able to outmuscle smaller CBs. His tape shows that he is freaky fast, too. Sometimes you just have to shake your head. How are these other high-schoolers supposed to stop that?
Despite only having limited slots in next year's recruiting class, Coach Chev continues to be on a tear on the recruiting trail. He just can't be stopped. Eventually our entire team will just be 4 star wide receivers.
Things to Look For
In the coming months, CU will play host a few times for unofficial visits, and then hit the camp circuit hard. Check for offers coming out of camps, as those are almost always committable. As the Buffs rise through the ranks of college football, they will have to be more and more selective with offers, so a camp offer direct from Coach Mac could mean quite a bit. CU will definitely have a big OL class this year, and they are looking for a lot of LBs, so those positions in particular are worth keeping an eye on.
As always, check in with good ol' Ralphie Report for commitment news and analysis, as well as speculative info in the coming months.


In need of a goal, the La Cañada High girls' soccer team turned to Kara Lankey — something it's grown accustomed to doing all season.
The Spartans' captain put her team on the board in the second half, cutting into a two-goal deficit La Cañada found itself behind in its CIF Southern Section Division V wild-card game at Nipomo High on Tuesday.
It wasn't enough, though. The Titans halted whatever momentum the Spartans gained on the goal from Lankey, who was playing forward instead of her regular position of center defender, when they rattled off two more goals en route to a 4-2 victory.
Nipomo will now travel to La Quinta (17-4-4) to take on the Desert Valley League champion.
Megan Decker capped the scoring for La Cañada (11-5-3) with a late tally of her own.
Rosen said conditions were tough Tuesday. The Spartans drove more than three hours to Nipomo (12-9-3) for the showdown between the third-place teams from the Rio Hondo and Los Padres leagues, respectively.
Still, La Cañada head Coach Louie Bilowitz said before the game its offense wouldn't be able to keep pace with a high-scoring game like it found itself in Tuesday.
La Cañada advanced to the CIF-SS quarterfinals last year with its run ending with a 4-0 loss to top-seeded Hemet. The core of that team — midfielder Talia Saleh, goalkeeper Haley Austin and forward Morgan Rittichier — all graduated, though.
While La Cañada's trip to the playoffs was shorter than hoped, Rosen said she felt it's a good experience for a young team — nine juniors, eight sophomores and two freshmen — that graduates just one senior, Lankey.

Oakley Resigns as Head Men's Soccer Coach
Alma, Mich. - Head Men's Soccer Coach Josh Oakley has resigned from his position effective immediately to assume the same position at Spring Arbor University, as announced by Director of Athletics Steven Rackley on Monday (Feb. 11).
"I want to personally thank Josh for all he's done for his program and Alma College," said Rackley. "We will miss his leadership, camaraderie and friendship. Josh is a great coach and a better person."
"Nearly nine years ago, John Leister hired me to revitalize the men's soccer program and I'm forever thankful he did," said Oakley. "I emptied myself here and worked as hard as I possibly could to bring positive results. We achieved a great many things; achievements that would not be possible without sound leadership. I'm so grateful for the support that President Abernathy has shown for me here. I am also blown away by the number of quality relationships I've made at Alma, mostly within the walls of the athletic department. These coaches and staff are some of my favorite people.
"Apart from support, leadership and friendships, the single most impactful thing I've witnessed here is a bond with young men that will last a lifetime. These players, all of the players past and present that allowed me to coach, teach, mentor and help direct them through their college years will never truly know the affinity that I have for them now and forever.
"I'm leaving behind something I love and cherish very much, but I'm walking towards something that is undeniably pulling me in its perfect direction. I wish Steven Rackley and the entire athletic department and Alma College nothing but the absolute best."
Oakley coached the men's soccer program from 2010 to 2019. During his eight years, he compiled a record of 63-75-13, including the program's two most successful seasons in nearly two decades in 2015 and 2016. The 2015 season saw the Scots win 12 games and make the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) championship game for the first time in history. The team built on that success the next year, posting 14 wins — the most since the 1999 Final Four team — and making it to its second straight MIAA championship game in 2016. That year, Alma reached the ninth spot in the NCAA Central Rankings, the highest it had been in 15 years. Also in 2016, Alma went 8-1-1 at Scotland Yard, the program's best home record since the venue opened in 2002. It finished that year ranked fifth in Division III in save percentage and sixth in shutout percentage.
Oakley coached 12 All-Conference players while at Alma, including six players who were named to either the All-Conference First or Second Team more than once. Kyle Kansman, the only two-time All-MIAA First-Team player from Alma this decade, was named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-Central Region Third-Team in 2015 and the NSCAA All-Central Region Second-Team in 2016. That was the third straight year a Scot was named to the NSCAA All-Region team, as defender Trae Pitts earned Second-Team honors in 2014, the first time in a decade. Kansman also earned a spot on the NSCAA Scholar All-American Team in 2016.
The search for Oakley's replacement will begin immediately. Assistant Coach Spencer Sandow has been named the interim head coach until a replacement has been named.

An artisan-like design radiates with quiet masculine power in this designer palladium ring. Made of rare and lustrous white metal palladium, a 7.5mm comfort fit band had a unique hammered finish center accentuated by polished beveled edges. Equally suitable as a contemporary wedding band or men's fashion ring.Comfort-fit rings should be ordered 1/2 size smaller!


n0/p+<1 or n0/p+>1,5 nucleus of atoms are unstable and we call these atoms radioactive elements.
Unstable atoms do some nuclear reactions like radiation or decay and become stable atoms. We can explain radioactivity under two titles, natural nuclear reactions and artificial nuclear reactions. In natural reactions, unstable atoms do radiation and become stable atoms. However, in artificial reactions, unstable atoms can be turn in to stable atoms artificially.
Example: Find whether 2040Ca is stable or not.
Sum of number of protons and neutrons gives us mass number (shown in left top corner of element).
Since ratio is equal to 1, 2040Ca is stable atom.
Example: Find whether 92232U is stable or not.
Since ratio is greater than 1, 92232U has unstable nucleus and it is radioactive element.
Nucleus of atom consists of protons and neutrons. Energy that keeps them together is called binding energy. If this energy is high, then atom is more stable.
If a compound is radioactive, at least one of the elements of this compound is radioactive.
Example: K, L, M and N elements form compounds KL, K2N and KM. If KL and K2N are radioactive and KM is not radioactive compound, find whether the following compounds are radioactive or not.
If a compound is radioactive, at least one of the elements of this compound must be radioactive. Since KM is not radioactive, K and M are not radioactive elements. If K2N and KL are radioactive then N and L must be radioactive elements.
K2, is not radioactive but K2L, N2M and KN are radioactive compounds because of radioactive element N.
In chemical reactions, atoms are organized by breaking chemical bonds and forming new ones. On the contrary, elements or isotopes of elements can turn into other elements in nuclear reactions.
In C.R only valence electrons play role in breaking and forming bonds, however in N.R protons, neutrons and electrons play role.
IN C.R. types of atoms are conserved but in N.R, types of atoms can be changed.
Mass is conserved in C.R. but mass is not conserved in N.R.
Stable nucleus having atomic number between 1<Atomic mass<20 have ratio n/p≈1, nucleus in this region has equal number of protons and neutrons to become stable.
Stable nucleus having atomic number between 20<Atomic mass <83 has ratio n/p>1. In this region, number of protons increase and repulsion between them also increases. To balance this force number of neutrons must also increase.
Nucleus having atomic number higher than 83 has great number of protons and repulsion force between protons. Since the amount of force is too high, number of neutrons can not balance them and nucleus stays unstable. Thus, we can say that nuclei having atomic number greater than 83 are unstable.
radioactivity nuclear or chemical reaction?
at what number does the ratio between protons and neutrons become unstable?
In nuclear chemistry, an atom is referred to as a ?
how do you become a nuclear chemist?

This paper proposes an integrated pricing framework for Credit Value Adjustment of equity and commodity products. The given framework, in fact, generates dependence endogenously, allows for calibration and pricing to be based on the same numerical schemes (up to Monte Carlo simulation), and also allows the inclusion of risk mitigation clauses such as netting, collateral and initial margin provisions. The model is based on a structural approach which uses correlated Levy processes with idiosyncratic and systematic components; the pricing numerical scheme, instead, efficiently combines Monte Carlo simulation and Fourier transform based methods. We illustrate the tractability of the proposed framework and the performance of the proposed numerical scheme by means of a case study on a portfolio of commodity swaps using real market data.

Jeremy Corbyn came to Watford on 4th April to launch Watford Labour's election campaign and manifesto and to meet local teachers to discuss the development of education policy. Prior to this he visited a Watford nursery to highlight the importance of early years provision for children. He was accompanied by Shadow Minister Tracy Brabin MP.
After addressing 300 local members teams spread out across Holywell to meet local residents on the doorstep.
Jeremy "I am here to support Jagtar for Mayor and for a Labour victory on 3 May".
Chris Ostrowski warms them up!
"I have high hopes for Jagtar and Labour in Watford. Following last June's exceptional General Election result when Labour came within 2,092 votes of grabbing the seat from the Tories and with the Liberal Democrats a poor third, I have every confidence Labour is going to do well in Watford on 3 May.
"With the Liberal Democrat mayor retiring and her party just 7% in the opinion polls, it's clear that they are now every unpopular with the public. In Watford, Labour has a manifesto that would make your town an even better place to live with Jagtar as its mayor.
Over 100 supporters turned out at the West Herts Sports Club on a Friday evening to hear guest speaker Barry Gardiner MP, Shadow International Trade Secretary and launch Labour's campaign to elect Jagtar Singh Dhindsa as the next Mayor of Watford.
Cut the cost of the Mayor's office and hold a referendum on whether to have a Mayor.
Barry Gardiner, MP for Brent North said, "We should not forget that the Liberal Democrats voted through all the Conservative's policies in government for 5 years and their austerity policies have caused terrible inequality in our society. Watford is a key seat for Labour at the next General Election. The Tory majority was cut to just 2,000 by Labour's Chris Ostrowski last June. Jagtar is a highly experienced councillor and an ideal mayoral candidate. This May's mayoral election is a real opportunity to sweep the Lib Dems aside and at the same time build a stepping stone to a Labour victory, whenever the Tories are forced to go to the country again - which may be soon!"

Q: Can I push array into .load in jQuery? So this first jQuery works. It loads a specific section of another html page into an id of #main_text.
$(function() {
  $('[id^="nav_"]').on("click", function() {
    var letter = this.id.split('_')[1];
    $("#main_text").load("page" + letter + ".html #main_text p,h2,h3,span #hidden");
  });
});

I now want to load multiple html files into that #main_text. So I tried to push them into an array and then .load that array. It's not working. Is this even possible?
$(document).ready(function() {
    var array = [];
    array.push('page_mark1.html');
    array.push('page_mark2.html');
      $('#mark').on("click", function() {

        $("#main_text").load('array');
      });
});

A: load method doesn't accept an array of urls. Also note that if you want pass the array you should pass array an not "array" (which is a string) to the function.
You can use the $.get function instead of the load method:
// create an array of deferred objects ( array of Ajax deferreds )
function getDef(urls) {
   return urls.map(function(url) { return $.get(url) });
}

// Pass the array to $.when
// the callback is called when all the requests are complete
$.when.apply($, getDef(array))
 .then(function() {
      // concatenate the strings based on the unknown length of arguments
      // `[].slice.call(arguments)` converts the special
      // `arguments` object into a regular array
      var allContents = [].slice.call(arguments).join('');
      $("#main_text").html(allContents);
  });

You can also define a jQuery function:
$.fn.loadMany = function(urls) {
    var $this = this;
    urls = urls.map(function(url) { return $.get(url) });
    $.when.apply($, urls)
     .then(function() {
         $this.html([].slice.call(arguments));
     });
    return $this;
}

$("#main_text").loadMany(array);

Just as he demystified the soil food web in his groundbreaking book Teaming with Microbes, in this new work Jeff Lowenfels explains the basics of plant nutrition from an organic gardener's perspective.
Along the way, Lowenfels gives the reader easy-to-grasp lessons in the biology, chemistry, and botany needed to understand how nutrients get into the plant and what they do once they're inside. (Don't worry: you won't have to learn college-level science).


In the spring of 2015, I was a single mom of two kids. After a lengthy and traumatizing harassment case at my last place of work, I was taking time to reconnect with the kids and figure out what I wanted to do next. I was angry about what I had experienced in my professional life: sexual harassment, being paid below my level of experience, and struggling to succeed in a workplace culture that doesn't support working moms, especially single working moms.
I knew I was not alone. The statistics to support my plight were well documented with no singular solution. Then my brother passed away and I shelved the idea until the #metoo movement arose.
L13 is my #metoo solution. My goal is to empower women at all stages of their careers so their voices are heard and their wisdom shared for the benefit of ALL.

Many toys have stood the test of time, but few as impressively as the yo-yo. This combination of carved wood or molded plastic and string has offered quick-spinning fun for children and adults all over the world since the days of ancient Greece. Though their popularity has hit peaks and valleys over the years, yo-yos always seem to come spinning back, in the process becoming one of the most beloved toys of all time.
Although historians believe the yo-yo originated in China, the oldest surviving yo-yos were discovered in Greece and date back to 500 B.C. They were terra cotta discs decorated with paintings of mythological figures, and archeologists theorize that Ancient Greek kids gave these yo-yos as offerings at the appropriate temple as part of a coming-of-age ceremony. A Greek vase exists from this period that is painted with the image of a boy playing yo-yo. And if you're really into your yo-yo history, both the vase and samples of the Greek terra cotta yo-yos can be found at the National Museum in Athens, Greece.
The yo-yo eventually traveled from Greece and China to the Philippines, where it became a popular children's toy during the 16th century. Hunters during this era also created a hunting tool modeled after the yo-yo that consisted of a rock tied to a length of string. This device allowed hunters to strike at prey several times from the protection of a tree branch. The yo-yo soon moved on from the Philippines to India, where it appeared on a hand-painted box dating back to 1765. The painting depicted a young girl playing with a yo-yo.
As the 1700's came to a close, the yo-yo moved on to Europe and found lasting popularity. In France, the yo-yo was known as "l'emigrette," a phrase meaning "leave the country." This was a reference to how the members of the French nobility (who loved the toy) were forced to flee during the French Revolution. A painting from 1789 depicts 4 year-old Louis XVII playing with a yo-yo. The toys soon became popular with people of all ages in France, and even Napoleon enjoyed the occasional yo-yo (though he probably used a shorter string).
The toy soon spread to England, where it was known as the quiz, the incroyable (a term for a French Dandy), and the bandalore. It became a favorite of the Prince of Wales, and as a result, it became the toy for a cultured person to own throughout the British Isles. In 1866, the yo-yo made its first recorded appearance on American shores when two men received a patent for an "improved bandalore." Although others registered patents related to the yo-yo, the toy didn't make a serious impact in the U.S. for a few more decades. At the same time, the yo-yo was being perfected in the Philippines, where it was a national pastime.
In 1928, Fillipino-American Pedro Flores started the first American yo-yo company in California. His toys popularized the yo-yo name, which came from the Filipino word for "spring." The hand-carved pieces of wood boasted a novel feature: The string was looped around the axle instead of being tied to it. This feature allowed yo-yoers to make their yo-yos spin in place or "sleep," a move that remains crucial to yo-yo tricks today. Armed with these looped-string beauties, yo-yo enthusiasts devised an array of complex tricks that could be done with the yo-yo to increase their fun quotient. Pretty soon, kids and adults everywhere were trying to "walk the dog," "rock the baby" or make their yo-yos go "around the world".
Flores' yo-yos became a craze in California and came to the attention of local businessman, Donald Duncan. He liked what he saw and envisioned the potential for a great business opportunity. He bought out the Flores Company and hired Pedro Flores to work with him in promotions. Duncan also obtained a trademark for the word yo-yo. Thus, competitors had to give their yo-yo knockoffs strange names like the "the twirler," "the comeback" and "the whirl-a-gig." Most importantly, Duncan secured free advertising in the many newspapers of tycoon William Randolph Hearst in exchange for hosting yo-yo competitions that required participants to sell subscriptions to Hearst newspapers as their entry fee.
In 1946, Duncan moved his company to Luck, Wisconsin. He chose this area because it was rich in the hard maple needed to make Duncan yo-yos. Luck soon became known as "The Yo-Yo Capital Of The World" as the company began pumping out yo-yos at the rate of 3,600 an hour. In fact, they did so well that by 1962, they had sold 45 million yo-yos in a country with only 40 million kids. Profits began to decline, and this unfortunate trend coincided with the rising legal costs of keeping the yo-yo name trademarked.
The name "yo-yo" became free game for toy companies in 1965 when the Federal Court of Appeals ruled that Duncan's trademark was null and void. Later that year, Duncan went bankrupt and was bought by the Flambeau Plastics Company. This company still puts out a line of 12 Duncan yo-yos today. Meanwhile, Duncan's competitors began putting out their own Duncan-styled yo-yos. For instance, Fred Strombeck bought Duncan's yo-yo turning lathes in 1967 and used them to market the "Medalist" yo-yo. They were made until 1972 and were the last Duncan-shaped wooden yo-yos for 24 years.
During the 1970's, competing yo-yo companies began introducing new technologies to jazz up their yo-yos. Yo-yos glowed in the dark, they whistled, they came in the hourglass-looking "Butterfly" shape, and many yo-yo companies began adding weight to the rims of their yo-yos to increase their spin. In 1978, the "No Jive 3-in-1" yo-yo was patented by Tom Kuhn. It had a replaceable axle and was the first yo-yo that could be taken apart by hand. In 1980, Michael Caffrey patented "The yo-yo with a Brain." It had a centrifugal spring-loaded clutch mechanism that made the yo-yo return automatically to the user's hand when its rotation slowed to a pre-determined rate. Most recently, transaxle yo-yos were introduced during the 1990's, using ball bearings to increase spin time dramatically.
In 1985, yo-yos even conquered outer space. On April 12th of that year, a yo-yo was taken on the Space Shuttle Discovery to see how it would perform in zero gravity. It could still be spun, but would not "sleep" at the end of the string since it did not have the pull of gravity to pull it down. Yo-yos got an additional shot of popularity during the 1980's from the Smothers Brothers when they introduced a bit on their popular television show called "The Yo-Yo Man." Tom Smothers would do amazing yo-yo tricks for the audience while Dick explained how his brother was in a "State of Yo." It became a staple of their act as it helped keep yo-yo popularity at a high level.
Today, yo-yo popularity remains as strong as ever, thanks in part to championships and exhibitions that have led people to take the skill involved in using a yo-yo seriously. In 1990, the first international yo-yo convention was held in conjunction with annual International Juggler's Association convention in Los Angeles. This eventually developed into the modern World's Championships. Around that time, the "Return of the Yo-Yo" exhibition began touring malls around the U.S. It included the Duncan Family Collection and several "opening day" demonstrations that gave a new generation a taste of top-level yo-yo performance. The exhibit collection later formed the core of the National Yo-Yo Museum in Chico, California.
1993 saw the first modern National Yo-Yo Contest held in Chico, California, and the American Yo-Yo Association was founded. A few years later, Duncan returned to TV advertising with the "Video Boy," claiming yo-yos a more exciting alternative to video games. They also commissioned Dr. James Watson of Ball State University to develop the "Teaching Science with the Yo-Yo®" lesson program. The five-day science planner gave educators an interactive, hands-on program to teach science theories to their students through classroom-based yo-yo lessons.
Modern yo-yo fanatics were ecstatic in 1996 when Duncan reintroduced the wooden Duncan Super Tournament yo-yo. A faithful reproduction of the 1955 model, the re-issue came in five classic colors packaged with the original "1955 Yo-Yo Trick Book®." A new wave of yo-yo madness swept the world, with Australia, Britain and Japan becoming serious yo-yo hotspots.
Most recently, Duncan has made its first transaxle yo-yo, the "Trans-aXtion®." The pop dada-ists in Devo were hired to pitch the new yo-yo using a re-recorded (and doctored) version of "Whip It." Devo vocalist Jerry Casale also directed the spot. The new toy became a hit with yo-yo fanatics, thrusting the ancient toy into a new era of its incredibly long history.

GUATEMALA PEAK VOLUME IS TWO WEEKS AWAY ...
By Will Cavan
Winter Park, Florida -
With a lull in harvesting in Mexico for Easter week, mango prices remain near $6.00 per carton for Redskin Fruit.
Currently Central America is nearing peak production and Guatemala, the largest shipper, expects to peak within the next two weeks. IMO Sources are projecting that the increased volume will bring the market down to the $4.50 per 4 kg carton range by that time.
In the meantime early season districts in Mexico are winding down and the Michoacan volume is expected to coincide with the peak from Guatemala which will announce the beginning Mexican volume deal as Nayarit and Sinaloa come on line.
Ataulfo mangoes have dominated the crossings out of Mexico as is an increasing trend out of Mexico for the early season deal.
So far, markets have been relatively strong and shippers can be happy with current returns.
STRIKE OUT! FSMA WHISTLEBLOWERS BAT ZERO IN FY11/12 ...
By Will Woodlee, Contributing Editor
As vendors begin hawking peanuts in baseball stadiums across America this week, implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) has stretched into its third spring.
Due to FDA's well-publicized delays in issuing required regulations, many of the law's most demanding requirements have yet to take effect or be enforced.
These delays make it difficult to assess the larger impacts of FSMA, which was widely viewed as the first major overhaul of the U.S. food safety laws in more than 70 years.
However, some self-executing FSMA provisions have been in effect long enough that there are initial data to review. These include the "employee protection" provisions added by section 402. Based on the early data, so-called "whistleblowers" have not fared well under the new law.
Specifically, U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) statistics indicate that workers who have complained of retaliation for exposing potential food safety i…

Former Air Force Chief S P Tyagi and his three cousins were today granted bail by a Delhi court in a money laundering case related to the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper scam. Special judge Arvind Kumar granted relief to Tyagi's cousins — Sanjeev Tyagi alias Julie, Rajeev Tyagi alias Doesa and Sandeep Tyagi alias Kuki — on personal bonds of Rs 1 lakh each with one surety of the like amount.
In case of violation of any condition, bail of the accused persons will be cancelled, it said. In their applications, the three accused have submitted that they are "innocent and have nothing to do with the present offence".
"It is submitted that accused/applicant has joined and cooperated during investigation by furnishing all the information and documents available with them to the concerned authorities," they said.
ED's special public prosecutors D P Singh and N K Matta opposed the bail applications.
The ED also moved a plea seeking to declare a Dubai-based businessman Rajeev Saxena, an accused in the case, a "proclaimed offender" in the case claiming that he did not respond to the warrants issued against him earlier. The court said it will consider the application on September 29.
Open ended warrants have already been issued against Italian middlemen Gerosa Carlo Valentino Fernando and Guido Ralph Haschke, while the extradition process of middleman Christian Michel James is already goin on.
The ED also told the court that some of the accused are based outside India and it takes minimum of three months to serve the accused persons through proper channel through MHA.
"Keeping in view the facts and circumstances, the matter is adjourned to December 18," the court said. The court had on July 24 summoned all the accused to appear before it today.
The court also summoned as accused various other Indian and foreign individuals and companies, including lawyer Gautam Khaitan, AgustaWestland and its parent company Finmeccanica SPA.

Biografia
Fu la terza sovrana regnante malgascia. La quarta e ultima sarà Ranavalona III: soltanto nello stato principesco indiano di Bhopal e, fino ai nostri giorni, nei Paesi Bassi, si sono verificati casi di regine che governarono una dopo l'altra.

Ranavalona nacque principessa Ramoma nel 1829 e, diventata una giovane donna, sposò, come la cugina Rasoherina (alla quale subentrerà sul trono), il re Radama II, figlio di Ranavalona I, assassinato nel 1863. Il primo ministro Rainivoninahitriniony ricoprì un ruolo essenziale nell'uccisione del sovrano e la sua influenza aumentò, tanto che suo fratello Rainilaiarivony, preso il suo posto a capo dell'esecutivo, mantenne il potere sposando le tre regine che si avvicendarono sul trono: Rasoherina, Ranavalona II e Ranavalona III.

Rimasta vedova, Ramoma visse alla corte di Rasoherina sotto l'attento sguardo dei missionari protestanti, che influenzarono grandemente i suoi princìpi religiosi e il pensiero politico.

Il 1º aprile 1868 morì la regale cugina e Ramoma, il giorno dopo, divenne regina del Madagascar. Nel 1869 si convinse dell'opportunità di convertirsi al cristianesimo – decisione fondamentale e colma di conseguenze interne – e così crebbe l'interventismo dei religiosi protestanti francesi.

Durante il suo regno Ranavalona prese in considerazione i grandi problemi interni del paese, come la deforestazione e lo sviluppo dell'agricoltura. In ogni caso era il marito primo ministro che decideva sulla politica della grande isola.

La sovrana morì all'età di 54 anni e fu sepolta ad Ambohimanga. Nel 1897 l'autorità coloniale francese, al fine di desacralizzare il ricordo della monarchia, ordinò la riesumazione delle spoglie della regina e le fece trasferire nella tomba di Rasoherina, nel Rova di Antananarivo. Nel 1873 un visitatore britannico, ricevuto a corte nel cosiddetto Palazzo della Regina, apprezzò il comportamento regale di Ranavalona II, assai consapevole del proprio ruolo, sempre abbigliata con abiti sontuosi e con la corona sul capo. Le succedette Ranavalona III, l'ultima monarca del Madagascar indipendente prima del dominio francese.

Beachcomber photo editor wins second place in national competition
April 1, 2014 | By Tabatha B. McDonald
Alfred Evans, photo editor for the Beachcomber student newspaper, has won second place in the College Media Association Shoot Out 2014 competition for his image of a welder working at the construction site of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub.
The photography competition was held during the College Media Association's Spring National Media Convention in New York City March 12-15. Students were given one day to shoot, edit and caption images related to the theme "A Day in the Life of New York City."
A panel of 19 professionals, non-participating college student photojournalists and various educators judged the entries after the conference and selected the top three winners plus two honorable mentions from among 31 images submitted. The winners were notified March 27.
Evans, who holds an A.A.S. in criminal justice and an A.S. in crime scene technology, is now pursuing a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in information technology with a concentration in security & network assurance (IT forensics).
He opened his own photography business, www.alfredclaytonphoto.us, in 2012. He said his PBSC education is giving him the training he needs to expand his business to include a forensics photography division.


We've just returned from 10 days camping in the spectacular Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia and this is one of my favourite captures from the trip…ironically it was taken on the first day. We initially intended to just do the popular 'W' trek but somewhere along the line Dave convinced me that we should do the 'O'. It was certainly a challenge on the 'O' circuit lugging our gear around…camera equipment, tent, sleeping bags and food (Dave did most of the lugging – bless him) but we made it around and finally got to the 'W' section which was pretty busy in comparison to the deserted back section – I'm not sure if it has occurred to anyone else but the 'O' trail combined with the 'W' trail produces the 'OW' trek…yep, my blisters had blisters and I think Dave could possibly need a knee reconstruction from the downhill pounding. We came away with a stack load of images and a wonderful sense of achievement.
We've been hanging out at the Erratic Rock for the past few days for a period of recovery, taking our cue from Bonnie & Clyde, the lazy resident cats.
At this stage I anticipate the next issue of the mag to be out around the 14th of April as we're going to be offline again for a while when we head over to Argentina for more trekking at El Calafate and then to El Chalten in search of more spectacular granite spires.
I've called this image 'After the Flames' in commemoration of the fire that swept through the park in December last year. For those who have been enquiring, prints will be available for sale when we return to Australia…I intend to put an exhibition together on our return, if you'd like to be on the mailing list then SUBSCRIBE here for free. Also, there have been a number of emails about the one day course…again, when I return to Perth, I will update the schedules and resume the courses.
Street food in Beijing: I first saw this photo effect a while ago and then more recently a series of fashion images by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg that were really inspiring. I've been dying to try the effect in some of my travel images and have been capturing them since I arrived in China…and now I've finally had chance to do some processing. The term coined for these animated photos is the 'Cinemagraph' but I'm calling mine 'Gifographs' becaause it is, after all, just a humble gif. This was taken on the street outside our hostel in Beijing. The Happy Dragon is down a side street to the North-East of Tiananmen Square, there's no outdoor area to sit and the beers were expensive so we sat outside on the street in the warm summer air with another traveller from Canada (Hi, Flora!) and ordered cold beers and meat skewers from the guy in the photo. The beers were cold the food was good and cheap and the whole evening cost 75RMB (about $10 ) for the 3 of us. Gotta love China!


A 21-year-old motorcyclist was seriously injured Thursday afternoon after a head-on collision with a vehicle on Highway 74 in Evergreen.

On taking an editorial stance
By: Dave Rhea	April 24, 2009	0
We received a wealth of feedback today from our editorial stance regarding the attempted stem cell veto override in our state legislature. Concerning some of the negative feedback, we think it important to clarify a few points. A surprising aspect of a portion of the response is that some people object to this newspaper writing an editorial or expressing a view, even if it is appropriately noted as an editorial. There is a clear, historic distinction at any news outlet between news and opinion. Media organizations routinely deliver reliable news while also offering informed opinions. This publication is breaking no new ground by taking an editorial position on a real-time, hot-button issue. The fact is, newspaper editorials are a tradition as old as the news business itself. An editor expressing a view in a column or an editorial staff formulating a consensus opinion in an editorial, especially about a subject as immediate as an issue currently being decided upon in the legislature, is as an historic convention in this great country as voting and politicking. Aside from that, a newspaper like The Journal Record serves the greater purpose of presenting a forum for everyone else who has an opinion – whether or not it differs from an editorial that we write. Do you disagree with us, or a story we write, or a decision or subject upon which we report? Tell us about it; we are here to allow you to express yourself. We make available the same opinion section of this Web site and in our print pages to a wide variety of views through guest editorials and letters to the editor.

The judgment of Justice C S Karnan of Madras High Court equating live-in relation with marriage has made global news. This is how the Washington Post [18.6.2013] has headlined the judgment: "Indian court rules that any couple who sleeps together is considered married". Even by the ultra-modern US standards, the judgment is a shocker.
To state Justice Karnan's judicial thesis in his own words, "If a couple chooses to consummate their sexual cravings, then the act becomes a total commitment with adherence to all consequences that may follow." That is, mating means marriage. But, strange as the ruling may seem, it must be admitted that Justice Karnan was indeed confronted by the hard facts of the case, which would shock judicial conscience.
Look at the facts of the case. A lady was in a live-in relation with a man for years and also had two children with him. The man, as most men in wrong relations do, left her high and dry. The hapless victim approached the family court for maintenance. In 2006, the family court ordered a monthly allowance of Rs 500 for the two children and Rs 1,000 as litigation expenses. It could not order maintenance to the lady as there was no proof of valid marriage in law. The case came in appeal to Justice Karnan.
Noting that the lady was a spinster and the man was a bachelor before they began their live-in partnership under the same shelter and begot two children, the Judge ruled that their marriage was completed by mating long enough. Lawyers often say hard facts produce bad rulings. The judgment of Justice Karnan bears testimony to the dictum. The hard facts of the case that confronted the Justice probably led him to lay down bad rule. The legal objection to Justice Karnan's judgment, which is right, is that he has added a new section to law of marriage instead of recommending to legislature to make an amendment deeming live-in relation as marriage for alimony.
It is also not clear whether Justice Karnan was told that in October 2010 the issue whether alimony is payable where live-in relations break has been referred by two judges of the Supreme Court to a larger Bench, and as late as March 30, 2013 no such Bench has been constituted [Indiatoday.in]. But, the most objectionable part of Justice Karnan's ruling, which is lost in the legality discourse, is the way it trivialises the role of marital customs which are mandatory in law for valid marriages.
Justice Karnan says: Formalities such as tying mangala sutra, exchange of garlands and rings, and circling around matrimonial fire are not a must for valid marriage but, "to comply with certain religious customs" and "for the satisfaction of the society." This is uncalled for and even dangerous. To deem live-in relations as marriage, what constitutes a valid marriage need not be trivialised. It calls for some profoundness to understand why law mandates social customs for valid marriages and what is the place of customs and the role of society in marriages. The society, which Justice Karnan adverts to, is an invisible mechanism, yes. Still it overseas the individual and the family.
The family is the primary institution that socialises individuals with time-tested mix of duties and rights. Marriages are the foundation of conventional family and society. Customs and rituals legitimatise a marriage in the society's eye. The combine of family and society, not the law or State, creates and sustains customs and rituals. Also law cannot bring about marriages. It can only terminate them.
Courts cannot admit a petition to make marriage. They can only accept a petition to break it. However unacceptable it is to progressives, conventional marriage continues to be the prerogative of the family and the society in which the family functions.
See how marriages work in 'modern' India and in West. According to a latest research [dt 16.8.2012] by Human Rights Council UNICEF, 90 per cent of marriages in India are arranged. And globally 55 per cent. The global divorce rate in arranged marriages is 6 per cent. In India, one per cent.
According to a PEW Centre research [June 19, 2012] 86 per cent of the Indians in the US marry within their own community. Conventional marriages are arranged or approved by families. Where the marriage, which is a family bond and at once a social institution, is usurped by law and turned into a pure legal contract the consequences have been grave. The best example is how, in the US, where arranged marriages are anathema and their number less than a tenth, over half of the first marriages and two-thirds of the second marriages and three-fourths of the third ones end in divorce. With the institution of conventional marriages and families disturbed, almost half of American families are 'fatherless', single parent or unwed households and 41 per cent of the children are born for unwed mothers. It is universally known that arranged marriages greatly reduce divorce rates. A report in USA Today newspaper [23.5.2012] citing a research says that arranged marriages could lower American divorce rates. The reason is obvious. Socially sanctioned marriages can withstand the pressures of marriage and avoid divorces. Soaring divorce rates and growing numbers of single-parent households that adds to the social security outgo of the US Government compel researchers in US to suggest it is time to rethink the Western approach to marriages.
Japan which followed the West in the last half of the last century seems too to be U-turning. The Telegraph UK reports [April 12, 2012] that in Japan where arranged marriages were universal till 1945, fell to 60 per cent in 1960 and to 30 per cent in 1990, they are making a come back now - to over 40 per cent.
Conventional society and communities are a reality in India. Families, not individuals, are components of the society. The experience of the West has shown that it is easy to undermine the society, but difficult to create it. In the 20th century, the Euro-West undermined the society first by emphasising on individual rights. The theory of methodological individualism that dominates Western sociology and economics virtually replaced conventional society with the State. Its exponents like Karl Popper declared that is "no such thing as society" -- a remark which was endorsed by a popular political leader Margaret Thatcher. But very soon the very emphasis on individual rights sans duties undermined the families.
Western thinkers hardly realised that conventional families will not exist without support from the conventional society. That's why conventional marriages which have social sanction fail less. The way the judgment of Justice Karnan trivialises the satisfaction of the society is an invitation for marital chaos.
The discussion on the judgment will be incomplete without reference to how Srimad Bhagavatam describes the advent of Kali Yuga [Dark Age]. Dr. Epstein says in the West, physical attraction is important in marriages, but warns people must distinguish lust from love. He adds strong physical attraction is very dangerous and it can be blinding. And Bhagavatam says that "in Kali Yuga mutual attraction will become the sole consideration in marital relationship. Skill in love-making will be recognised as the chief excellence in man and woman [Skanda XII.2.3]. Mating will be looked upon as marriage [XII.2.5]." At the peak of the Dark Age, it says 'sexual relationship will be recognised as the only relationship'.
The West, which had held itself out as the model for the Rest, seems to be realising now that it needs to get out the Dark Age marriages described in Bhagavatam. Should we then risk equating mating with marriage?

Pregnant Montana Brown praises natural birth control as she discusses the path to conception
bruce lee January 9, 2023 5 min read
She is expecting a baby with her boyfriend Mark O'Connor.
And on Monday, Montana Brown praised natural birth control for "changing her life" as she talked about her journey to conceive and shared a cute video.
Taking to her Instagram, the 27-year-old Love Island star explained how her decision to stop hormonal birth control two years ago taught her "so much" about her cycle.
Fertility Journey: On Monday, Montana Brown, 27, praised natural birth control for "changing her life" when she opened up about her fertility journey by sharing a cute video on Instagram.
In the montage video, the reality TV star included photos of herself holding a thermometer used to track women's cycles.
She ended it with a clip of her happily showing off her tummy on the beach with her boyfriend.
Montana wrote along with her video, "New Year's reflections. It was almost two years ago when I shared my natural birth control journey with you.
"I remember feeling like I was off hormonal contraceptives — and feeling like I was in control of my body again — I was so grateful to have found natural cycles.
Pregnant: The love islander has finished the clip of her happily showing off her tummy on the beach with her boyfriend Mark O'Connor.
Life changing: Montana explained how her decision to stop hormonal birth control two years ago taught her "so much" about her cycle.
Expectation! Montana said about using natural birth control, "It taught me so much about my cycle that when it came time to switch over and plan for a baby, I felt in tune with my body."
"Two years later, I am even more grateful to have started my hormone-free journey when I did. It helped me prevent pregnancy without worry.

"It taught me so much about my cycle that when it came time to switch over and plan for a baby, I felt in tune with my body.
"Each of our fertility journeys is so different. And while I've openly stated that it took me a little longer to conceive than expected, I truly believe it would have taken me even longer if I hadn't made the transition 2 years ago and started using Natural Cycles.
"There aren't many products that can make such a big impact and change your life, but Natural Cycles has it. Best of all, I can go back to using it to prevent pregnancy as soon as Baby O'Connor is here."
Two years ago: Montana included photos of herself from two years ago, when she gave up hormonal birth control and started tracking her cycle instead.
Planning for the future: "The best thing is that I can go back to using it to prevent pregnancy as soon as Baby O'Connor is here," Montana shared.
Montana recently revealed to her followers how she is experiencing severe cramps, saying, "I woke up last night because I was having cramps. I had cramps from the very beginning and they feel like my normal menstrual cramps.
"I haven't heard too many people talk about it while pregnant. Unfortunately, over the past couple of days, it has moved up a notch.
"I get so tired all the time, and I don't need an extra excuse to stay in bed, because before pregnancy, I was also a lazy bitch."
Montana recently revealed that she and Mark have yet to find out their baby's gender, writing, "Also, we don't know the gender for anyone who asks… a lot of people say they can tell because of the bump, which is cool."

"I'm not sure if you can say that my bump is really small at the moment, but I'd love to hear your theories! I feel like it could be a girl who just feels my bones! Place your bets!'
This came after Montana admitted that she had "thought a lot" about how her heritage and race would affect her unborn child.
She said she sometimes forgets where she's from after growing up in "predominantly white neighborhoods" when she took to her Instagram stories on New Year's Day to share her thoughts.
Montana shared a snap of her blooming tummy, going candid about her thoughts on race and parenthood.
Mother-to-be: Love Islander says she's 'tired all the time' and wants to stay in bed
She wrote: "So excited for this new year, so many feelings went through my head as midnight struck. I'm so excited and can't wait for this new chapter.
"I am grateful for this year and for all that it has brought into our lives. It's so crazy how your body changes and something special grows. I feel very happy because I know that this is not possible for many people.
"I also feel like I'm growing a lot as a person and my values are changing. I see much more value in what is happening in the world and how we can make the world a better place on an individual level.
"I would like to do more for racial inequality. Sometimes I forget where I'm from because I've been raised in a predominantly white neighborhood all my life!

"Especially since I was pregnant; I thought a lot about my race, my heritage, and how it would affect my child.
"It's crazy how bringing life into the world makes you really look inward and makes me realize that I still have a lot of self-development and work to do."
It comes after the reality TV star revealed she was "so shocked" to find out she was pregnant because she tried to conceive earlier in the year but didn't.
She took to Instagram to answer questions when she revealed how she and her beau Mark struggled to conceive due to her low estrogen levels.
Montana took to Instagram on Christmas Eve to share the happy news of her pregnancy with her 1.2 million followers.
She shared a video montage documenting the initial stages of her pregnancy, including herself and her boyfriend smiling at their positive test.
In her caption, she wrote, "Baby O'Connor coming next summer (white heart, baby emoji)".
In other clips in the post, the reality TV star underwent an ultrasound scan and snuggled up next to Mark on the beach as he cradled her belly during a recent vacation.
Montana was seen picking up a small child, whose identity is unknown, before writing "Baby O'Connor" in the sand.

Loan opens new method of fundraising for Elon Musk's rocket company
A SpaceX rocket sits on a launch pad in Cape Canaveral, Fla.
Elon Musk's SpaceX raised $250 million from its first-ever high-yield loan sale, shrinking the size of the loan by $500 million after the company encountered a mixed reception from investors and worsening credit-market conditions.
The loan, facilitated by Bank of America Corp. BAC, -2.88% and slated to fund general corporate purposes, opens a new avenue for fundraising for SpaceX as it looks to pay for massive projects demanding many billions of dollars over the next few years.
Based in Hawthorne, Calif., SpaceX makes money by launching commercial and government satellites but has larger ambitions of sending astronauts into orbit and eventually carrying humans to Mars. It has previously relied on private-equity funding that has valued the company at more than $20 billion.
Formerly known as Space Exploration Technologies Corp., SpaceX marketed its loan only to a select group of investors.

Katz replaces Hunt at C4
UK broadcaster Channel 4 has named the editor of BBC2's Newsnight as its new director of programmes, replacing the outgoing Jay Hunt.
Ian Katz
Ian Katz, former deputy editor of UK newspaper The Guardian, has been appointed as the broadcaster's programming chief after a protracted search that began when Hunt resigned as chief creative officer in June.
A host of names from the broadcast industry, including former Sky director of entertainment channels Stuart Murphy and the satcaster's current content chief Zai Bennett, had been linked with the post.
Ralph Lee, who has risen up the factual ranks at the commercially funded public broadcaster to become deputy chief creative officer, had been seen as favourite to take over Hunt's responsibilities.
He has been interim chief creative officer since Hunt left in September and has agreed to continue in the position until Katz's arrival in January. Bar a brief stint at Channel 5 he has been with Channel 4 since 2002 but now seems certain to depart.
Hunt stepped down from the broadcaster after being overlooked for the CEO position following David Abraham's resignation in March. Former Shine chief Alex Mahon was named as Abraham's replacement, while Hunt has since resurfaced as creative director of Europe in tech giant Apple's Worldwide Video division.
C4 CEO Mahon said: "Ian is an inspirational leader who assiduously builds and nurtures talented and empowered teams. He has fantastic instincts and intelligence, huge editorial strength and is a proven creative and digital innovator who lives and breathes the Channel 4 values."
Katz added: "I'm impossibly excited to be joining a broadcaster whose unique combination of innovation, risk-taking and elan I have admired for decades as a viewer – and more recently as a frequently envious rival.
"Channel 4's deeply held values and relentlessly challenging sensibility have never been more important or relevant, and I feel incredibly privileged to play a part in shaping the next stage of its remarkable journey."
Katz, an experienced journalist who has been editing BBC2's flagship current affairs programme Newsnight since 2013, represents something of a left-field choice in that he has no previous commissioning, scheduling or programming experience.
He developed and launched The Guardian's first website in 1997 and was central to its digital development over the following 15 years. In a five-year stint as deputy editor, he oversaw the paper's groundbreaking Wikileaks and phone-hacking investigations.
At Newsnight he has overseen a high-profile talent recruitment process that has included the poaching of political journalist Laura Kuenssberg from ITV and Chris Cook from the Financial Times.

What do our unconverted friends know about God?
We live in a godless age, a day of outright rebellion against the Lord, a day where the average guy on the street knows nothing about the Bible, knows nothing about the things that really matter in life. What's more, it seems as if the average guy doesn't care that he knows nothing. We live in an age of apathy.
So, as Event's Week draws ever closer I think it would be helpful to take a look at what the Bible says our unconverted friends know. This is not what they say they know, this is not what we think they know, this is what God says they know.
All men know God exists. They have no excuse. Our friends know that God exists. If they say they are agnostic or atheists they are deliberately denying what has been made clear to them.
Our friends know that God is both holy and that he hates sin.
They know that God deserves thanks for all things. They know that the Lord Almighty is deserving of all praise and glory and worship.
Death meaning both physical death and eternal damnation.
God's law is both in men's hearts and reinforced by their consciences. All men know right from wrong. Good from evil.
Our friends, all unconverted people, know these things about God and his nature and man's nature. This should encourage us as when we speak to our friends and tell them the gospel truth they know what we say is true. Deep, deep down they know we speak the Truth. We merely repeat to them what they already know. Their conscience is our ally!
If unconverted people did not know that God existed and did not know his laws then they could not sin. But as Romans chapter 1 proves unconverted people DO know God's law and therefore DO sin.
HANG ON A MINUTE! My friends give no sign of knowing any of this. They deny or would deny all this. What are you talking about?
Knowledge of God and his holiness does not by any means equal repentance and faith. I know this to be true – I grew up in a Christian family, I was taught about the gospel from a young age but until my conversion (around the age of 14/15) I did not accept it in my heart. Indeed, a rebelled against what I knew and tried to earn my way to Heaven through works but that is a story for a different time.
The Devil knows that God exists, he knows God commands, he knows that sin deserves eternal punishment. Yet still he fights with God. Still he rages against all that is holy. And our friends, to a lesser degree, do the same.
But why? Why is this so?
Because man decided that it didn't like these truths it rejected them. It is as simple as that.
Men do not like the idea of a holy God so they create false gods that are immoral. Men do not like the idea of salvation by grace so they create religions based on work instead. Men do not like the idea of God so they create Atheism. Men know the truth but hate the truth so they reject it for a lie.
All false religions and philosophies are created to achieve this same purpose – a removing of man's responsibility to God.
This is the penalty that our friends are under for refusing to accept the truths that God has made clear to them. This is the penalty that we were under until the Lord worked that miracle of grace in us and gave us new hearts that accept the truth!
You may wonder why I call these truths encouraging for they seem the opposite. Our friends are transformed before our eyes from 'nice' people to deniers of truth. And in God's eye that is a terrible evil. To exchange the truth of God for a lie is one of the vilest and morally reprehensible sins that can be committed. And all of humanity commit it.
Where then is the encouragement?
1) Our friends know what we say to be true. Speaking to our friends about God can feel like banging our heads against a brick wall. Their refusal to see what we see as an obvious truth is disheartening. Yet we should draw encouragement from the fact that our words are not wasted. We confirm the truth to them. God has made his nature and laws clear to them and we remind them of what they already know! In this godless age this should strengthen our spirits – even the most atheistically inclined person knows there is a God.
2) We should expect to have the truth rejected. They already have rejected it! When we speak to our friends they have already rejected what we have to say. It is not because we are explaining things badly it is because our friends are deliberately exchanging the truth of God for a lie.
3) Taking these two facts into consideration only one course of actions remains: trust God. Only God can reject their rejecting of him. Only God can open their blind eyes. Only God can make them accept the truth. Only God can convert sinners. We can do nothing. Wonderfully, gloriously, majestically, our actions are useless. It is all God. Therefore pray to God for your friends. Pray that they might see the truth that is so clear to them.
That said, we must remember that just because we are useless isn't an excuse for not speaking to our friends. Only God can convert. Yes. But he might convert our friends through using us.
We have established that our friends know a lot more than they will ever admit but there remains one exceeding important fact which they do not know – Jesus. Their knowledge of God's law merely points out that they are sinners. They still need to know Jesus!
It our duty, privilege and delight to point our friends towards Jesus, towards the cross and towards salvation. We need to proclaim the gospel of grace!
So let us stand firm during Event's Week, let us stand firm in the knowledge that God is with us, let us stand firm in the knowledge that we speak the truth that all mankind knows to be true and let us stand firm in the glory of salvation by grace, bought by the blood of Jesus and his death on the cross.
Ben would like to thank Tom Johnson for reading over his post and suggesting improvements. He also like to suggest that you post names of friends you would like prayer for in the comments section below.

Q: When an e-mail message fails MTA-STS checks, it must not be delivered; will the sender be informed about the delivery failure? When? Short:
When an e-mail message about to be send fails MTA-STS checks, it must not be delivered by design; will the sender be informed about the delivery failure? When?
Long & Background info:
When implementing mta-sts on custom domains to enforce the use of TLS connections, misconfigurations of the mta-sts.txt policy file (or a smtp-server not supporting TLS connections) will result in e-mail not being delivered as an enforced policy will require TLS connections to deliver the e-mail.
Via TLS-reporting the domain holder - not the sender - could be informed about any problems, provided TLS reporting is set-up to a different domain or tool that notifies on a different address than the domain in question.
My question is about any senders of e-mail messages. In a testcase with policy file mentioning incorrect mx records, no e-mails are delivered (as expected), but the test sender did not receive any messages about delivery problems (yet).
Is this expected behaviour? Or will the sender be informed after a number hours? If so, how many hours? - I ask because a delivery failure and NDR (non-delivery-reports) are usually returned instantly.
If a user misspelled an e-mail address or the receving server is down, the sender is informed about the trouble and can take action. Sometimes even the "delivery is delayed" is announced; not failed yet, but not delivered either.
I get the impression that the sender is not informed that a message is not delivered and is "silently blackholed / discarded". To be clear: that the message is not delivered is expected behaviour in this test case.
Spec: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8461

A: After running some testcases, I have experienced the following:
(This was done by a Outlook.com smtp server.)
Testcase C

*

*MTA-STS: Deliberately incorrect, but existing third-party mx server in mta-sts file.

*DNS: Correct mx server.

The sender was informed about the delivery failure after 24 hours.
It was explained in my local language what was going on; here information highlights:

*

*That the message could was not delivered.

*That it was tried multiple times to deliver.

*But that the cause was being unable to connect to the remote server.

*Advise was given to contact the recipient by phone to ask the recipient to inform the postmaster about the error.

*It was even suggested that the problem could most likely only be solved by the postmaster.

*(A link was provided but that wasn't really helpful. Additionally the technical bounce message was visible among it the technical words "failed MTA-STS validation").

Testcase B

*

*MTA-STS: Correct and desired mx in mta-sts file.

*DNS: Deliberately set to incorrect mx server, existing server though.

After 24 hours I received an error back. Confusingly the message state that the address did not exists in the target domain. Though this is true, it shouldn't have gotten this far. However, when reviewing the technical part the outlook-sending server mentioned 'failed mta-sts errors validation'. So the technical part contained the correct mta-sts validation error, but the human/user readable part only mentioned that the target address did not exist in the target server.
I guess if the address doesn't exists, any mta-sts errors are "less important" to report to the end-user. The user was advised to re-type and resend the e-mail and verify if the address with the recipient (phone was mentioned).
However, even if the user followed the instructions, the next e-mail wouldn't have been delivered either, but that is beyond this testcase.

Testcase A

*

*MTA-STS: Correct mx in mta-sts file.

*DNS: Fake MX corrects.

After 24 hours I received an error back. The cause for not being able to deliver the message was being unable to resolve the domain location of the recipient. (Undesired result, but logical, mx were referring to nothing.)
The technical part of the message mentioned 'DNS query failed'. Nothing of mta-sts was mentioned.

Testcase Z (weird one)

*

*MTA-STS: Correct mx in mta-sts file.

*DNS: Incorrect but existing mx records; a cname referring to the same IP of the correct mx server (which shouldn't matter because mta-sts should compare cert with cname.)

The results, unexpected:

*

*One email got delivered somewhere between that 24 time-window.

*One email failed due to mta-sts validation error.

Temporary downtime of webserver might have been a factor, though that shouldn't have mattered. - Cannot explain.

Conclusion
I took a while to find the correct testcase as you can see. But Testcase C describes the desired behaviour. Yes, the sender is informed, after 24 hours with outlook.com as smtp-server. The user is informed in clear language. That being said, I do have an additional opinion about the timing here, mentioned below.
Limitations
Staying with the facts: I did not perform a testcase with a server trying unencrypted connections. Testcase C puts the ball into the the recipient's postmaster's court, I would be curious to see where the ball (the 'todo') would be placed, in the case of unencrypted attempts, as that cannot be solved by the recipient but must be solved by the sender or sender's postmaster.
I also did not test multiple smtp servers.
Further thoughts
That being said, MTA-STS-validation needs to be supported by the sender SMTP (correct me in comments if I am wrong*), so if a server is so old it tries do deliver an e-mail over non-encrypted connection, it will most likely not support MTA-STS so it will not validate the MTA-STS policy and simply deliver the e-mail unprotected. * Found confirmation here, from paragraph "There is a standard...")
If somebody tries to redirect some incoming e-mail by dns-poisoning, a modern smtp-server will not deliver the e-mail to an incorrect destination.
So it protects against evil doing, not against legacy.
Opinion

 I think the feedback delay of 24 hours is too long. Testcase C reports 11 retry attempts within that 24 hour window. Though I appreciate the system not giving up, I would argue that it might be in the interest of the sender to inform him of at least a non-regular delivery.


Over 6 months I built out a distributed DNS service around the world consisting of 11 nodes, whilst at the same time trying to keep it under the radar of the wife - costing less than $1000/yr.
I'll talk about how I built it, what tools I used (RethinkDB, Beanstalkd, CollectD, Python etc), the problems I faced, details I learnt about how other "budget" anycast services are built and the fun I had along the way.
3. Summary • Fancied deploying a DNS Anycast service • Motivated by: – Bill Woodcock • SANOG8: "Best Practices in DNS Anycast Service-Provision" – Dave Knight • RIPE64: "Dense Anycast Deployment of DNS Authority Servers" • Gain more experience automating distributed environments.
11.
