Gordon may benefit most from Landry's arrival
door chenyan94 » 09 Okt 2018, 04:17
Jared Goff watched the Los Angeles Rams' entire preseason from the sideline. He hasn't thrown a pass in a game since last January , when he lost his first NFL playoff start.
When he steps under the Monday night lights in his native Bay Area, the third-year quarterback is eager to show what he's learned and how he's grown during eight long months without real football.
And for fans expecting a thrilling encore to last season's utter transformation by Goff and the Rams' offense, he plans to have a little something for them, too.
"There's a bunch of stuff we've been working on this offseason that we're ready to display on Monday night," Goff said. "A lot of the stuff is from last season that we're going to continue to do, and then a lot of new stuff that we're doing. What we're going to do, and how we're going to do it, I don't know. But there's a lot of stuff that we're excited to put on the field finally that we've been working on for so long this offseason."
Goff is aware of the expectations on him as the Rams begin a season with Super Bowl expectations against the Oakland Raiders. With new coach Sean McVay guiding him last year, Goff shrugged off a disappointing rookie season and became one of the NFC's most productive quarterbacks as the Rams doubled their point total from 2016 and made a seven-win improvement in the standings.
But Goff also knows he and the Rams haven't actually proven much in the areas that matter, beyond winning a division title and asserting themselves as a contender. Goff's 3,804 yards passing were 10th in the league 鈥?although he probably would have been higher if he hadn't been rested for the season finale 鈥?and his completion percentage (62.1) was 17th.
Goff went into the offseason knowing he had ample work to do. His teammates and coaches say he has done it well, and they're already seeing the results in practice.
"Just little stuff, like him telling me stuff when he doesn't need to ," running back Todd Gurley said. "You just see his progression. Just going through his routes, going through the first receiver all the way down to his checkdown and to me. He's been getting better each day, just taking those little steps. (He) doesn't like when he's out there messing up, and that's what you love in a quarterback."
Goff got no preseason snaps because McVay decided he didn't want to play his first-string offensive line, which started 15 consecutive games together last season and played a major role in keeping Goff upright and effective. So even though Goff probably could have used the work, however brief, he sat out in August along with Gurley and all of the Rams' top skill-position players.
That means Goff will go into Monday's game at Oakland having never thrown a pass in a game to Brandin Cooks, the Rams' high-priced new receiver.
The way Goff looks at it, the inactivity means no opponents will know exactly what to expect from Los Angeles' inventive coach and talented group of playmakers.
"Very excited to get some truly competitive action with our offense," Goff said. "It'll be really cool. The defense only played a little bit (in the preseason) too, and I know they're excited as well."
Goff, who grew up a 49ers fan in Marin County, has played in only one real NFL game back home. He beat the Niners last September with three touchdown passes in Santa Clara , earning the first road victory of his NFL career and the Rams' first of 10 wins in 13 games.
But Goff's NFL career technically began with another Monday night game in the Bay Area: The No. 1 overall pick was inactive as the third quarterback in the Rams' season-opening, 28-0 loss to the 49ers two seasons ago. That year's misery, which included Goff's 0-7 record as a starter, was largely erased in the public mind by his impressive sophomore season.
Goff hasn't forgotten the frustration of his rookie year, and it lingers as a motivating force.
"It does feel like a long time ago," Goff said of that trip to Santa Clara in 2016. "I guess it was what, two years ago? It feels like forever ago. ... I've grown up a lot in those two years. I was 21 then. I'm 23 now. Not too old now, but a little bit older than I was then."
Jarvis Landry is leaving one bad offense for another one.
The Miami Dolphins agreed to trade the Pro Bowl receiver to the Cleveland Browns for two draft picks, two people familiar with the deal said Friday.
The people confirmed the agreement to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because under NFL rules, no trade can be completed until Wednesday, the start of the league's new year. The Dolphins will receive a fourth-round pick this year and a seventh-rounder in 2019, one of the people said.
Miami finished sixth-worst in scoring last season and went 6-10. Cleveland finished last in scoring and went 0-16.
The Browns were desperate to land a playmaker such as Landry, who will complement former Pro Bowl receiver Josh Gordon. Landry has been selected to three consecutive Pro Bowls and has 400 receptions , an NFL record for a fourth-year player.
"Y'all better understand (stuff) about to get SERIOUS... ON MY MAMA," Landry tweeted after news of the deal broke.
The trade was among a flurry Friday by the Browns. They agreed to acquire quarterback Tyrod Taylor from the Buffalo Bills for a third-round draft pick, and agreed to send quarterback DeShone Kizer to the Green Bay Packers for cornerback Damarious Randall.
Landry signed a $16 million, one-year franchise tag Thursday with Miami, clearing the path for his trade. The Dolphins began shopping him when the parties were unable to reach an agreement on a long-term contract.
He's likely to get that extension from the Browns.
Landry made $894,000 last year, when he completed the contract he signed as a rookie. He was by far the highest-profile Dolphins player eligible for free agency, and perhaps the best player on an offense that sputtered with quarterback Jay Cutler.
But Landry's volatile personality became a concern for Miami. He was ejected in the fourth quarter of the season finale, a loss to Buffalo, and coach Adam Gase said the episode was embarrassing and "extremely bad."
Miami's passing attack in 2017 gave Landry a bizarre stat line: 112 receptions to lead the league and break his own franchise record, but an average of 8.8 yards per catch to rank 110th. He a career-high nine touchdowns but finished 13 yards shy of 1,000.
Landry's departure adds a receiver to the Dolphins' long list of offseason needs. Receivers Kenny Stills and DeVante Parker are expected to return, along with quarterback Ryan Tannehill , who missed all of 2017 because of a knee injury.
Cleveland is $113 million under the salary cap and was expected to seek an impact receiver in free agency. Acquiring Landry has likely changed those plans and the Browns can address a multitude of other needs.
Landry typically plays slot receiver, and the Browns have been disappointed with the production of former first-round draft pick Corey Coleman, who has been injured the past two seasons.
Gordon may benefit most from Landry's arrival and the talented 26-year-old posted four trophy emojis on his Twitter page after the news of trade broke.
With 12 picks in this year's draft, including the Nos. 1 and 4 overall and five in the first 64, the Browns had the ability to pull off a major deal for a major player.
Hue Jackson has handed his offense over to former Pittsburgh coordinator Todd Haley, who should know how to best use a player of Landry's skill after coaching Antonio Brown the past few seasons.
Cleveland's offense didn't have a legitimate go-to receiver last season until Gordon returned from an indefinite NFL suspension with five games left. Running back Duke Johnson finished as the club's leading receiver.
Without enough players to spread out defenses, the Browns were too often one-dimensional, and their lack of options made life more difficult for Kizer, who led the NFL with 22 interceptions
AP Sports Writer Tom Withers in Cleveland contributed to this report.


Our GLC programs in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan felt like a tiny drop in a very dry bucket, but God's presence in this desert turned out to be the living water that we all needed.
We had come as FBR was invited by the people of the Nuba Mountains to see if an FBR-style training and mission would help them as they are under attack from the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). The desert environment, even without fighting, is a harsh place. Adding attacks from the SAF only increases the challenge of finding basic necessities. Inside the thatched walls of most family compounds live anywhere from 10-20 children, with several mothers and one father. Although there have been schools, fear of bombing has caused these and other educational opportunities to be closed down.
To all the members of Chapter III we wish you a great, safe happy Fourth of July.
Gentlemen, since I was reconvicted, I will continue to ruin your holidays with one of my endless ramblings, if you think it is worth the time, please forward to your member.

The Known Universe
Credit & Copyright: American Museum of Natural History
Explanation: What would it look like to travel across the known universe? To help humanity visualize this, the American Museum of Natural History has produced a modern movie featuring many visual highlights of such a trip. The video starts in Earth's Himalayan Mountains and then dramatically zooms out, showing the orbits of Earth's satellites, the Sun, the Solar System, the extent of humanities first radio signals, the Milky Way Galaxy, galaxies nearby, distant galaxies, and quasars. As the distant surface of the microwave background is finally reached, radiation is depicted that was emitted billions of light years away and less than one million years after the Big Bang. Frequently using the Digital Universe Atlas, every object in the video has been rendered to scale given the best scientific research in 2009, when the video was produced. The film has similarities to the famous Powers of Ten video that has been a favorite of many space enthusiasts for a generation.

The Way I See It.....: Inspiration!
First, I'll cut to the chase by skipping my usual 'sorry it's been a while' crap.
I have been working in a secondary school now as a permanent teacher, and the workload had really weighed me down a lil.
It's not easy to balance getting a Masters degree and simultaneously getting your day-to-day tasks checked.
However, I'm glad to say I am fortunate to have my family's full support and my bf's love to fuel me.
Announcement: I'm checking off my bucket list one by one!
Hahaha, sounds more like a big review, but I promise you it's legit... somewhat.
I don't really have a bucket list, so well, I sort of borrowed my bucket list from others.
FIRST, challenging my own fear of heights.
Definitely sounds surreal to me ever since the minute I signed myself and a few of my friends up.
Well, that's the first of many to come.
Hopefully, I'll get the chance to update my blog more frequently.

Beaver Valley Labor History Society Collection
The Beaver Valley Labor History Society Collection contains material primarily documenting the successful 1930s organizing drive of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee of the Congress of Industrial Organizations at Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation, Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. The organizing drive resulted in the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision, National Labor Relations Board v. Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation, which upheld the National Labor Relations Act and established the legal right to organize labor unions. The collection was created by members of the Beaver Valley Labor History Society who conducted oral history interviews, compiled subject files, and published a newsletter focused on the early history of what became United Steelworkers of America Local 1211. Recorded from 1978 to 1980, the collection's twenty-four oral histories also document the European immigrant experience in America; African American migration to the industrial north; work in a steel mill; and the social, political, economic, and cultural life of Aliquippa, 1900s-1930s.
With the support of United Steelworkers of America Local 1211 and the Philip Murray Retirees Club, the Beaver Valley Labor History Society was established in 1978 to "inform people of the important role that our valley has played in American labor history" so that "they may be aware and proud of their heritage." For a four year period, the Society collected material, conducted oral history interviews, and published a journal focused on documenting the history of steelworkers in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. In 1981, the Beaver Valley Labor History Society transferred the organization's subject files, oral histories, and copies of its publications to the Archives of Industrial Society at the University of Pittsburgh and ceased publication of its journal.

More Information about Peru
With its 30,147,935 people, Peru is the 42nd largest country in the world by population. It is the 20th largest country in the world by area with 1,285,216 square kilometers.
Ancient Peru was the seat of several prominent Andean civilizations, most notably that of the Incas whose empire was captured by Spanish conquistadors in 1533. Peruvian independence was declared in 1821, and remaining Spanish forces were defeated in 1824. After a dozen years of military rule, Peru returned to democratic leadership in 1980, but experienced economic problems and the growth of a violent insurgency. President Alberto FUJIMORI's election in 1990 ushered in a decade that saw a dramatic turnaround in the economy and significant progress in curtailing guerrilla activity. Nevertheless, the president's increasing reliance on authoritarian measures and an economic slump in the late 1990s generated mounting dissatisfaction with his regime, which led to his resignation in 2000. A caretaker government oversaw new elections in the spring of 2001, which installed Alejandro TOLEDO Manrique as the new head of government - Peru's first democratically elected president of indigenous ethnicity. The presidential election of 2006 saw the return of Alan GARCIA Perez who, after a disappointing presidential term from 1985 to 1990, oversaw a robust economic rebound. In June 2011, former army officer Ollanta HUMALA Tasso was elected president, defeating Keiko FUJIMORI Higuchi, the daughter of Alberto FUJIMORI. Since his election, HUMALA has carried on the sound, market-oriented economic policies of the three preceding administrations.
Languages spoken: Spanish (official) 84.1%, Quechua (official) 13%, Aymara (official) 1.7%, Ashaninka 0.3%, other native languages (includes a large number of minor Amazonian languages) 0.7%, other (includes foreign languages and sign language) 0.2% (2007 est.)

This was my first pair of Kendra Scott Dee Earrings and they are beautiful. In my last Rocksbox I received the Rayne pendant in Slate (which I bought) and these pair perfectly with the necklace. I'm normally a studs only girl, but these drop earrings are so delicate and dainty and the teardrop stone is beautiful. They are sort of a dip in the water to wearing a statement earring and I liked being able to try a style I normally wouldn't gravitate towards outright buying myself.
I am a bit obsessed with druzy at the moment...okay really obsessed. The Eisa Druzy Stone pendant necklace is so delicate I was almost afraid to wear it! The gold chain is exceptionally fine quality and the Hematite druzy stone is small but powerful. When it catches the light it sparkles so gorgeously.
When I first looked at this ring I didn't find it all that special, then I put it on and changed my mind. It has a very modern appeal to it and the rhinestone disc gives the illusion of a stone. It goes with any outfit too.
This ROCKSBOX headed back, I was on the fence about the Kendra earrings but I am more a necklace girl. I loved the Bella Druzy pendant but the chain feels super touchy and I know I will break it.
After my first box was sent back a new Rocksbox was already on its way to me in less than a week! That is awesome turn around time and means you can get multiple new pieces to wear in a month if you so wish. My second box I loved even more!
Modern adornment meets mesmerizing color in this dainty pendant necklace. The Kyocera Opal stone pairs the fresh hues of aqua with the essence of naturally reflective opal. I have a feeling I won't take this necklace off all of Spring! I wore it 4 times just this week The stone is so beautiful and multi-faceted. Definitely one of my favorite Kenda necklaces yet.
A lovely blushing pink stone with sleek gold chains, this classic silhouette of the Rayne is perfect for any occasion. Rose Quartz is the color of the year and blush tones are popping up all over for Spring. I know this color will get lots of use in the next two months. The quartz stone is gorgeous, it has a translucency to it that is so pretty. You can't go wrong with the Rayne pendant it is the perfect long line necklace style for any outfit casual or dressed up.
This boho wrap bracelet is gorgeously made and a great piece to pair with casual looks. The beautiful sparkle and weight of the weave make it look so much more chic than your usual wraps. Rocksbox has quite a few Nakamol wrap bracelets to put on your wish list so there is sure to be a color combo for everyone.
From this ROCKSBOX I am absolutely buying the Kyocera Opal Necklace and likely the Rose Quartz Rayne too. Both pieces I know will be staples throughout Spring, the Nakamol bracelet is so boho and cute I might have to get that one too. This Rocksbox completed my Spring jewelry style and I credit that to leaving my stylist a note on your box on the website. I requested the Kyocera and she granted it. If you haven't gotten your first choice definitely leave your stylist a note they do read them!
Only requirement is to rock your awesome jewelry.


Blogs appeal to different readers for different reasons and can be a useful tool for you to communicate with a target audience. If you need an effective tool to persuade others to a certain viewpoint, a blog may be just the thing for you. Discover some basics on how to blog successfully by reading the information in the following article.
Don't overuse your keywords or advertisements. Doing so will only get you flagged by a search engine, and it will erase all of the hard work that you are trying to do. Write with a casual, natural and flowing style.
When you are writing a blog, leave time to respond to your reader comments or inquiries. Make a habit of responding to reader comments. If you've built a connection with readers, you can be available to them more often. When you feel like giving up your blog, try to remember that you will disappoint more than just yourself.
Make frequent updates to your blog. People will return often if they expect to find brand new content. Without new content, your visitors will not be compelled to visit your blog, or even return! A general rule of thumb is to post new content no less than once, daily.
Don't forget SEO work when it comes to blog posting. Because your primary goal is increasing your readership, it is important that your blog shows up in the search results when potential readers look for a topic about which you write. Using keywords strategically placed in your article and title will draw in more readers.
Write blog posts about topics that readers will be interested in. Ordinary chores like doing the laundry and cleaning the kitchen are familiar to everyone. Unless you have a unique way of presenting such common information, your readers really aren't going to care. Choose topics that are sure to be interesting. Your goal in blogging, after all, is to draw people to your site.
Commenting on other people's blogs is an excellent method of raising interest in your own blog. Keep track of all the blogs you wish to follow in a special folder using Google Reader. Visit those blogs daily and add your two cents, often.
Ask some popular bloggers to guest post on your blog. Not only does it increase the quantity of quality content but it invites viewers to your site who will most likely return. Furthermore, you should get some additional traffic from the guest blogger's blog, when the guest blogger informs his or her readers of the guest post. Try using more than one additional blogger to add quality content to your blog and increased page views.
Don't ever copy things from the web. Nobody takes plagiarism lightly, and employing this tactic will unquestionably be very counterproductive to your efforts at establishing yourself as a reputable writer. It's not necessary to work as a professional writer, as long as you are passionate about your subject.
Try to utilize images as much as possible. You must have heard that a picture is worth 1000 words. There's no better place to prove how much more pictures are worth to readers than within a blog–they are a vital part of your communication. The right image can communicate much more than words can. So, make certain that you include images as much as possible.
It is extremely important that you are authentic. Don't appear like a "know-it-all." Honesty, transparency, and openness are critical qualities to convey. Do this at all times. A blog is seen as the ultimate expression of one's individuality. Don't waste time being a perfectionist. View this as a work in progress. If you are incorrect, then accept that everyone makes mistakes. Your blog is about expressing yourself, and you are a unique, valuable individual.
Allowing guests to make posts within your blog is extremely helpful. This is a great way to network with other bloggers. Don't ever underestimate the power of networking. If you ever need a favor in the future, that relationship could be the means of obtaining it!
Keep your blogs as clear and concise as possible. Although you want to give your readers the detail and information they desire, if your blog is too long or wordy, your readers will lose interest. Readers who are seeking information through blogs probably aren't expecting Shakespearian treatment of relatively mundane details or topics. They are looking for the information they seek, not the frilly decorations.
Maintain a healthy blog. This involves taking steps to ensure that your blog is well-maintained, and also making small adjustments now and then. Your readers will remain interested and they will have fewer, if any problems when they visit your blog page.
Maintain a healthy blog. This involves taking steps to ensure that your blog is well-maintained, and also making small adjustments now and then. This keeps readers engaged and ensures people don't have issues getting to your blog.
Give your readers the ability to comment on your posts and then take the time to reply to each. This will allow the readers to be actively involved in your blog and give you an opportunity to develop relationships with them. If people know you respond to the comments, chances are they will return to view your responses to their comments and those of others.
If you are writing for your own blog, keep the style of your writing informal and captivating. The content of a blog should be sociable. Treat it that way. You want to entertain your readers in a relaxed, informal way, as that is what brings readers back to a blog.
The content of your blog should not be so formal. The content of a blog should be sociable. It is of critical importance that you make your blog in this format. You want to form connections with your readers, so write as if you are one of them.
Don't write endless paragraphs of content. You want to make certain you are doing research and finding the right topics for your blog. If you don't put thought into what you're writing, your blog probably won't become successful. Remember always that the key to your blogs success is the content.
Do not simply try to write paragraphs and paragraphs of general content. You must also research and find the right theme for your blog. Lots of content on the wrong topic is basically useless. Keep in mind at all times that the way to be successful is through content.
If your blog post is lengthy, try to separate the article into paragraphs, and always use subheadings. This makes it easier for readers to digest the purpose of your blog quickly. This represents a small thing you can do to vastly improve your blog.
Take advantage of other types of social media outlets to bring attention to your blog, but don't overdo it. If your tweets on Twitter are always links to your blog, others will begin to ignore them. Surrounding your links with some interesting content will make you look like less of a spammer.
It is a good idea to keep your blog fresh with a steady stream of unique, interesting content. Search engines favor such sites. Consequently, when more people are able to find your site you will instantly see a boost in your readers. Use these tips to see big boosts in readership numbers.
Your blog's keywords should be bold and visible. This will help them stand out to your readers, and it is also something that the SE spiders like. You want your keywords to stand out so your readers will click on it faster.
You should consider yourself to be an expert on the topic you are blogging about before you write about it. If you don't know much about the topic, you might inadvertently share incorrect information, or information that is misleading. When people comment on your blog they often ask questions and you need to be able to answer them with facts.
Design your website to be search engine optimized. This is not only good for your search engine placement, but your site's loading time, as well. Today's readers expect instant gratification both in message and in design. They will simply hit the "back" button and find another blog without having seen even a little bit of your content.
Do your research before posting on your blog. If you are not an expert on the subject, you will provide faulty or incorrect information. You must also have plenty of knowledge on the topic in order to respond to comments.
Avoid stuffing content with too many keywords. While you need to use some keywords to raise your visibility, remember that it's more important to choose a couple of high-quality keywords rather than a large number of irrelevant keywords. You won't fool a search engine spider by using keyword stuffing techniques, because the search engines are becoming smarter everyday with innovative technology. When you have lots of keywords on your site, search engines can determine you are not prioritizing the quality of your content, and your blog's ranking will probably suffer. Choose your keywords based directly on traffic generation.
Promote the notion of people connecting with each other on your blog. This gives your readers the feeling they are taking an active part in your blog. Make sure to respond to any comments, too. This will make your readers feel they are part of a community and they will want to continue visiting your blog to keep up with the conversation.
Create great content and market your blog to others. In order to have a blog that works well, you must focus on these key elements. Your readers will flock to other blogs if yours is not producing quality content. In light of this, good promotion can't save a blog that doesn't also have good content. Make the most of your blog. Keep the quality high and promote, promote, promote!
When possible, utilize authoritative features like statistics and graphs to enhance your blog content. These tactics help to create lively and interactive blogs that maintain reader interest. These little additions make a big impact on your blog readers.
Create a homepage that will help make readers interested in reading your blog. If you use a blog site, the basic system simply lists recent posts, which is not always aesthetically pleasing. When you create a homepage that is customized and tailored to you, you can create something much more interesting than the basic form on many blog posting sites. In addition to providing a more attractive look and feel, doing this is also likely to help you generate more traffic driven by the search engines.
Make liberal use of visuals in your blog. Anything ranging from graphs to lists to pictures can make your blog more appealing. This will make your posts interesting to a broad range of readers.
Add the ability to vote on certain issues to your blog. This will draw visitors to your blog, as well as enable your visitors to make their voices heard. Post results accompanied by comments on what you think about the outcome. You can also use this information to refine your blog to the interests of your readership.
In order to help readers understand what your blog is all about, have a "top 10 list" that features your best work. This will help boost your blog with the search engines, and will enable people to know if your blog is what they were looking for.
Running A Blog can be used for marketing purposes as well as an online diary. This article provided you with some of the best advice that there is. Use the tips that you know will work for you, and remember to be careful whenever you post anything online.

World Hindi Day saw the largest footfall at the World Book Fair 2020. Hindi seemed to be in demand and flowering with all the attention it was getting.
Writers, especially the Hindi ones, found themselves a much bigger and much more relaxed audience. Eager to listen, question, shake hands and click a selfie with the writers, people seemed full of enthusiasm and even spread it to their favourite writers and public personalities. A series of celebrated book launches and panel discussions garnered the most attention.

From schools on screen to nostalgia in hands, New Delhi world book fair makes you go through all the emotions at once. There was a time when children used to read study material, other than the textbooks, consolidated by a handful of publishers. These companies were as common as household brands like Parle-G. Vimal, Sanjiv & MBD to name a few. But with the changing winds of the times, these ancient beasts have also changed their stripes. To come across one of them, in an all-new avatar was like being on a nostalgia trip but on a race car.
Tech is taking the education industry by storm. And also, there is no denying that with each innovative push, we are edging closer to a more sustainable and efficient model of education. There are even techniques being applied to understand and, gauge and change the behaviour of students accordingly. Kids are being fed information based on the information that is fed to deep neural networks. Though, in the initial stages, some advanced techniques are already knocking at the doors of the schools and policymakers alike.
Comics are forever
Speaking of initial stages, the 'comics corner' at the world book fair is one such place where you'll find 30 or 40-year-olds instead of kids, rummaging through heaps of comics. Each of them tighly clutching onto their childhood in the form of comics. Instant friendships being stuck, handshakes turning into hugs and small talks changing into loud guffaws, that's the typical scene at Raj Comics at any given moment. It's safe to the heroes of yore are going nowhere. They are living and will continue to live on in the hearts of the millions.
7 days of the book fair are up, but there don't seem to be any dampening of spirits. The celebration of books is raging on. The last couple of days promise to be a befitting showdown.
Let's see what happens!
Patience is an art form, and the masters of it are their own gods. The second Saturday at Pragati Maidan...


Sublimation printing is the application of sublimation inks onto a surface using a heat press to provide the required combination of heat, time and pressure. This combination causes the inks to be converted from a solid to gaseous state enabling them to penetrate the sublimatable surface so that the result is colorful, long lasting and resistant to scratching, unlike some other printing methods that merely print onto the surface of the item.
Dye sublimation printing is always done on a polyester, polymer, or polymer coated item. At high temperatures, the solid dye converts into a gas without ever becoming liquid. The same high temperature opens the pores close and the gas reverts to a solid state. It has now become a part of the polymer.

Actress Mayim Bialik asks Jew in the City how she can reconcile the science she's studied with the Jewish beliefs she holds dear.
There is no substantive challenge to Biblical concepts of Creation in NOT positing a Big Bang/ or suggest "Fine Tuning". Rambam and Aquinas (by abstraction), would agree with this, given both of them stated that evidence against Creation ex Nihilo would be reconcilable with faith – but neither of them subscribed to it, based on reason of their day and their estimation of their respective religious revelation's authority on the matter of matter. See; Moreh Nevukhim II: 25 (for Rambam), and Carroll's "Stephen Hawking's Creation Confusion" (for Aquinas, available online). [moderator; you can lop off the Carroll citation, but it is not Christological – and also it puts it in a contemporary context with Hawking's recent media coverage).
Where do the clones come into the picture?
The clones were just for fun!
alot of people don't know but science is the only secular subject permitted to be srtudied on the shabbos because science REVEALS the handiwork of hashem, rather than disputing it.
Very enjoyable video – the special effects are great! One point in your video suggests that science does not even attempt to explain our feeling of awe at the wonder of the world as religion does.
That's a nice idea, but I fear it isn't giving science the respect it deserves! Science definitely attempts to explain emotional states, including "awe" and "wonder".
For example, some scientists theorize that "awe" causes us to positively ponder things greater than our selves or immediate surroundings, thereby promoting collective and communal emotions which are adaptive to the societal stability of a human community.
In essence, societies with individuals who feel awe are likely to form stronger communities than those that don't, and therefore have an advantage in the evolutionary sorting of emotional characteristics.
Also, I believe we can use our beautiful traditions to guide our lives, but if we must simply "search for other meanings" when the meanings within the Torah do not make sense, that is an acknowledgement that Torah can live in harmony with science only when it's interpreted "loosely".
I'm searching for the truth of the Torah, but why would Hashem give us the words of the Torah if we are to resign to our own interpretations rather than those of Hashem?
Our faith and history as Jewish people is beautiful, but I fear the tendency of many faithful people who have great minds to make special exceptions for the logical inconsistencies in the facts of their faith.
If the literal interpretation of something does not make sense given our factual evidence based knowledge, how do we KNOW that it is the truth on the whole? And if faith is based on feeling without the necessity of a few irrefutable supporting points, is it a safe thing for us to embrace?
Faith in the loyalty of our spouses, for example, is largely based on believing on things that are factual such as that our spouse has chosen to marry us and live with us. Of course, when our spouse is away from our eyes, it is "faith" that they are loyal, but also a faith supported by the aforementioned facts.
One could argue that the same sort of fact based evidence exists to support the "faith" of believing Torah is truth, but I have yet to find a reason to believe it to be anything more than my traditional heritage from a rich culture I am proud to be a part of.
However, I am forced to admit that the Torah is imperfect, and therefore, if it indeed is the word of G-d, much was lost in the transfer of this information to our ancestors and we must view it as a guide to be taken very loosely, and sometimes when stories of the Torah do not match science, it is okay to say that those are errors in the Torah, and not somehow a manifestation of our imperfect understanding of it.
Thanks for your comment, Yaniv. Of course science understands the how's of our brains – what I was trying to get at was actually a quote from Kant: "Two things fill the mind with ever-increasing wonder and awe, the more often and the more intensely the mind of thought is drawn to them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me." It's the "why" of the world that science doesn't get. The feeling that overcomes man to search for purpose, to behave in a moral way.
In terms of why not take the Torah literally and use other interpretations – there's an idea that the Torah was given with a written tradition and an oral tradition, so when I quote Maimonides for instance – I believe his non-literal understanding of the creation account comes from a tradition that dates back to Mt. Sinai. He's not the only one who had such a tradition. If you read Aryeh Kaplan's "Age of the Universe" (which you can see online here http://www.simpletoremember.com/faqs/Kaplan-SimpleToRemember.com.pdf) you'll see that there was another rabbi from over 700 years ago that calculated (based on Torah sources) that the universe is 15 billion years old!
So why was the language in Genesis written as it was? One explanation is that it was meant to be understood by the people of that time and all future times, so it had to be symbolic and be true on many levels. I completely reject the idea that the Torah was "lost" along the way. It makes no sense for God to have done that. If it couldn't be transmitted in a way that would be useful and meaningful, it doesn't make sense that God (who knows the future!) would have bothered to get the process started at all.
Mayim, big fan, very big fan since you played the younger Bette Midler.
The problem is in, not interpreting the Bible literally. If we all did, we would see that it fits in perfectly with science. Allow me to explain.
It is assumed that because the Bible states the world was created in 6 days, that the Bible by all means is literally saying "within 6 24hr consecutive days" when it is not.
1) Exodus 20:11 states, "For 6 days God made the heavens and the earth." it does not state "within" 6 days, i.e. 6 consecutive days.
Using the same word ויהי "and it was" for both evening and morning is literally stating it was simultaneously, i.e. at the same time. It does not state it was evening and "then" there was morning.
When we look at the world at any given time we will see it is always evening and morning somewhere on this earth. And there is nothing elsewhere in the Bible that indicates these were 24hr days.
Therefore, in hindsight, we can understand that the 6 Days are referring to 6 Eras.
As for Adam the farther of Cain and Able, the Bible does not states he was the first man. For it states that God created "The man" Adam being hebrew for man. Again, it is only assumed that the Bible is stating he was the first man when it refers to both as Adam.
Bottom line. If God wants us to believe that the world was created within 6 24hr consecutive days, and Adam the farther of Cain and Able was the first man, it would have stated so directly, and the scientific evidence would be there as well, instead of the other way around.
On the third day, G-d created the land vegetation. Then on the fourth day G-d created the sun. If these two consecutive events (clearly they were consecutive) were eras apart, how can the vegetation survive waiting for the sun? They can still live without a source for photosynthesis in 24 hour period but not in years. Anyhow, I believe Aryeh Kaplan has a better explanation to this seeming dilemma in one of his writings. Regarding dinosaurs, I still have to be convinced that "taninim gedolim" refers to them. Genesis mentioned about these as " great sea creatures" or "sea monsters" or at least living in the sea. But the great majority of dinosaurs roamed and lived in the land and were mostly herbivores.

What Do You Do When A Rabbi Says Something Troubling?


It's still dark, the air has a hint of chill in the air, it's quiet except the beeping of my alarm going off.
5am rolls around again and beckons me to push the tiredness from limbs and shake off thoughts of slumber. The rhythm of my early routine gives me structure and the direction I need to start my day.
With only the stars awake as I shuffle into rubber muck boots my thoughts turn to the constellations and I take a second to see how many I can make out in the early morning sky. A vapor is coming from the North down the pasture, attempting to block my view of the ancient star scape.
I reach for a five gallon bucket, one of the most essential things on a small-scale farm in todays day, yet largely taken for granted. So vital for transport of feed and water, especially the way we raise animals, outside in the grass where we have to bring to them the essentials of food and water, rather than house them in a barn without access to fresh forage and sunlight and fresh air. It's a compromise I'm happy to make for the sake of happier healthier animals.
With truck loaded up with feed for hundreds of birds and enough water to last the first half of the day I drive out to the field. The first few flighty hens are already starting to wake up, with barely enough light to make out the shadow of an owl they begin their ever important task of eating and scratching dirt in order to find a grub or two.
Portable fences are taken down and put up around new forage, the egg mobile driven forward onto fresh grass, feed poured out onto the ground. Waterers filled up and the first streaks of dawn are seen across the sky, like streamers from a banner, beckoning the day.
The wet grass heavy from the nightly dew bends beneath it, with each step I take spraying me with the early morning distillate. As the sunlight begins to stream across the the pasture, filtering down onto the thick clover and orchard grass, I make my way back to the house. Ready for my morning ritual, a cup of strong pour-over coffee and a few still moments to take in the day before I start the next job.

There was a time when Britain was led by statesmen. The above passage comes from Sir Robert Peel's speech to the House regarding the repeal of the Corn Laws. It is inconceivable that Theresa May would ever utter anything vaguely similar. Or, for that matter, David Cameron or Jeremy Corbyn.
Peel was faced with an implacably divided party. He did what he felt was in the national interest and in the interests of the citizens whom he was elected to protect. As a result, his party was split asunder and did not govern again for a generation. It takes a special kind of person to do such a thing. May is not such a person.
It has been clear for the last two years that May has put party interests above the national interest. Some would argue that it is brave to try as hard as she has to keep her party together. But it is now clear that such a thing is simply impossible.
Europe has split the Conservative Party for 40 years. And it remains, and will forever remain, split on the European question. And, in the face of the most humiliating defeat in British parliamentary history, May stubbornly sticks to her impossible red lines.
I do not underestimate how difficult it must be for the Prime Minister to try to navigate the parliamentary shark infested waters – not to mention those of her own party. And she has tried her damndest. But surely there must come a time when reality prevails. When it becomes clear that the hard Brexiteers cannot be placated in any way that can either command a parliamentary majority or does not do significant damage to the country and its citizens.
Currently, there is no sign that such a time has come and that Mrs May will feel comfortable "acting upon the result of enlarged experience" or "admitting that I have been in error".
What is of note is that the mood music coming out of Europe seems to have changed following the government's historic defeat. There seems to be more willingness to be flexible.
But flexible how? Like the rest of us, the EU27 still have no idea what could possibly get through the UK parliament. As for the Irish government, one does have to wonder whether it is regretting using its five minutes of fame and power to push the UK government into a deal that has spectacularly blown up.
A no-deal outcome would be catastrophic for Ireland – and would certainly not solve the Irish border issue.
My colleague David Boyle is probably right to suggest that a general election might be the only way forward. But it is not clear how one can get there. Or how one can get anywhere else. Maybe mass resignations from the cabinet might push the PM over the edge. Or maybe not. Maybe she will again simply assert that nothing has changed.
Brexit was always going to be a fiendishly difficult process. Mrs May's leadership has made it worse, much worse, than it could have been. But the reality is that nobody could have turned this into a neat and easy process.
Maybe the only hope lies in parliament wresting control of business from a dysfunctional government and working out for itself what course of action could possibly command a parliamentary majority – and also be supported by the EU27. The idea that all this can be achieved by March 29 is, of course, a non-starter.
To be honest I fail to see any reasoned arguments here but the typical polemics. Catastrophic, disastrous, cliff edge are all ways to avoid reason and default to emotive reactions without really explaining or appreciating that a no deal Brexit will absolutely result in multiple bilateral agreements between the UK and different EU member states, a situation the EU wishes to avoid since this will undermine its executive power.
Similarly who actually is intending to erect a hard border which underpins the supposed need of the customs union backstop.
It would appear that it is only the EU that seeks to distrust cross border trade because again mutual recognition and mutual cooperation will undermine the centralising power of the EU executive.
If Sir Robert Peel's wise words are to have any meaning, when is it going to be fully articulated that the EU model is ecospherically unsustainable, as is the current UK economic model. However all remainers appear to be interested in is how to maintain the status quo of EU ecospheric unsustainability without once addressing the difficulties of reforming the EU Treaties, especially in terms of the different EU states having different development needs. How is the EU even trying to manage diverse development needs without resorting to market based solutions that are obviously having no positive effect whatsoever.
A no deal Brexit however maximises the democratic potential to offer up innovative policy solutions beyond the failing EU model which can be arbitrated through the political culture of debate and reasoning along with nation wide education. Admittedly, UK politics is demonstrably failing in this respect, but I put to you sir, that the main substantial reason why this is the case, is because ardent remainers are forcing both Houses to be fixated on the economics of ecospheric unsustainability as opposed to the economics of ecospheric sustainability.
Thank you Stephen for this comment.
I agree with you about ecospheric unsustainability. But this hardly an EU-exclusive issue. Nobody yet has a workable economic model for that. It's not clear that the UK does or that there is the political drive in the UK to move in that direction. It seems to me that the EU is, if anything, further ahead (though that's not a high bar, I grant you) on environmental protection than others such as the US or China. My view is that out of the EU, the UK will travel further and faster down the unsustainability route – but who knows? Nobody knows the future and we can only speculate.
It's also not clear to me what makes you believe that the Brexit will "absolutely result in multiple bilateral agreements between the UK and different EU member states" when EU rules to which those member states belong prohibit such a thing.
I agree with the sentiment that "A no deal Brexit however maximises the democratic potential to offer up innovative policy solutions". I wish I had your faith that there is any practical move in that direction.
My fear is that, out of EU constraints and without the bargaining power offered by the Single Market, "Global Britain" will end up moving further down the de-regulation, unsustainability, financialisation route in order to gain access to other markets. Again, speculative.
As for the hard Irish border, I believe that the narrative has changed in the last couple of days and both the EU and Ireland are now concerned that this might be an inevitable outcome of a no-deal Brexit.

The Helena Museum of Phillips County is a historic building at 623 Pecan Street in Helena, Arkansas.  The main portion of the building is a -story mansard-roofed Second Empire structure, and was built in 1891 with funds raised by the Women's Library Association.  It is Helena's oldest civic building, and was used not just to house the library, but also as a social venue until about 1914, when its main space was fully devoted to the library.  In 1929 a -story wing was added to rear to serve as a space for museum exhibits on local history.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
