BULLITT COUNTY, Ky. —
A Bullitt County man admitted to dozens of car break-ins in the Valley Station area.
Arrest records show 18-year-old Bryan Horton was being investigated for several car break-ins and two burglaries.
Police say he admitted to breaking into at least 60 cars and stealing guns, GPS units, cash and laptops.
Horton also admitted to breaking into two garages.
He is charged with burglary and theft by unlawful taking.


Growing up in rural Nebraska there was never a lack of jobs. The only limit was what were you willing to do. As a kid I worked for local farmers walking beans, cleaning barns, barn construction or de-construction in some cases. I remained in the construction industry through high school and college doing everything from roofing and framing to concrete foundations. It wasn't until December of 2001 when I moved to Colorado that I found my true love of the mountains and more importantly motorized toys in the mountains! It wasn't too much later that I met my soon to be wife Andrea ( who just happened to be a snowmobiler) and with her opened my roofing business Adobe Roofing & Construction. Fast forward 15 years, hundreds of roofs, several sleds and two beautiful little girls and the decisions was made to make "work" fun.

Hospitals making progress in preventing infections
According to a new government report, health care-associated (HCA) infections in acute care hospitals decreased between 2011 and 2013, including a 10% drop in Clostridium difficile infections and an 8% decline in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia.
However, the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also points out that most C. difficile and MRSA infections are diagnosed in healthcare settings other than acute care hospitals.
Related content: CDC report raises alarm about hospital infections
"Hospitals have made real progress to reduce some types of health care-associated infections. It can be done," said Tom Frieden, MD, MPH, director of the CDC. "The key is for every hospital to have rigorous infection control programs to protect patients and healthcare workers, and for healthcare facilities and others to work together to reduce the many types of infections that have not decreased enough."
The CDC's "National and State Healthcare-associated Infections Progress Report" details the progress each state has made in eliminating six types of infections that hospitals are required to report, summarizing data submitted to the agency by more than 14,500 healthcare facilities.
According to the CDC, one in 25 U.S. patients acquires at least one infection during their hospital stay. Still, the report indicates that hospitals are making progress in reducing infections. The largest reduction in infections was in central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), which declined 46% between 2008 and 2013.
The report said there was a 19% decrease in surgical site infections (SSIs) related to 10 specific procedures [including hip and knee arthroplasty, colorectal surgery, abdominal, and vaginal hysterectomies]. However, the CDC said catheter-associated urinary tract infections increased 6%.
"Healthcare-associated infection data give healthcare facilities and public health agencies knowledge to design, implement, and evaluate HAI prevention efforts," said Patrick Conway, deputy administrator for innovation and quality and chief medical officer of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. "Medicare's quality measurement reporting requires hospitals to share this information with the CDC, demonstrating that, together, we can dramatically improve the safety and quality of care for patients."

A Grand Job!
Here's a riddle: what's the connection between rusty steel and the President of Ireland? The answer – Skibbereen! Skibbereen on a summer afternoon in June, in fact…
Welcome, President!
This week the President was in West Cork and on Thursday he came to Skibbereen. Before I lived in Ireland I was pretty ignorant as to the role the President plays in the life of the Republic. It's not a political position – nothing like the American President, for example: although officially 'head of state' the Irish President has no powers – the executive running of the country is entirely in the hands of the government. Instead, the President of Ireland – Uachtarán na hÉireann – acts mainly in a ceremonial capacity and is very visible in civic life. There are always buildings to be opened, institutions to be founded, statues to be unveiled, speeches to be made, important visitors to be hosted…
President Michael D Higgins formally opening Skibbereen's new Arts Centre
Presidents can either be chosen by popular consensus or elected by a vote of all Irish citizens. Michael D Higgins was elected in October 2011 and his tenancy will run for seven years. Following this he can serve a further term if he and the people so wish. A Limerick man, Michael D (as he is usually known) is well liked: he's had an impressive career in public life – academic, lecturer, professor, politician, poet, sociologist, author and broadcaster. He served as Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht and was President of the Labour Party for many years. He is the first Irish President to have made a state visit to the UK.
His first appointment in Skibbereen was to open Uillinn – West Cork's new Arts Centre: that's where the rusty steel comes in – partly… Regular readers of this blog will know all about this building. It was controversial while under construction, mainly because of the Cor-Ten steel cladding to its prominent five storey tower. Cor-Ten or 'weathering steel' is a material consisting of alloys which encourage a rust-like patination on exposure to weather, forming a fully protective coating over a number of years. In fact, the weathering process takes about as long as one term of office of an Irish President! I know many people disagree (although I think some are coming round…), but I find the 'rusty' finish very attractive, and I like the fact that the appearance keeps on changing in an organic way.
I was impressed with Michael D's speech: he's an enthusiast for all the arts and emphasised how important this modern building is – not just for Skibbereen but for the whole of West Cork. The site – right in the centre of town – had been a bakery for generations, and the President pointed out the analogy between the essentials of bread, fundamental food for the body, and the arts – food for the soul.
'Presidential Salute' in the O'Donovan Rossa Memorial Park
Next item on the afternoon's agenda was a visit to the park: the President was to unveil a new memorial to Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa – a local hero who had links with Skibbereen. Finola has mentioned him previously and is currently working on a post about him: July this year marks the centenary of his death. O'Donovan Rossa fought for Ireland's freedom, just as Michael Davitt did (I wrote about him last week). The President gave a passionate speech emphasising the debt that the Ireland of today owes to those campaigners of yesterday, and I was pleased to hear him mention Davitt specifically.
Ready for the unveiling…
New commemorative sculpture in Skibbereen's O'Donovan Rossa Memorial Park
I think the new memorial is a great piece of modern commemorative art: it's rusty steel again! Five columns are placed in the centre of a garden, each telling something of the hero's story. You have to work to see all the images: they are made by perforating the 'weathering steel' sheets. It's very effective because it can't be ignored – you just have to stop and work it all out. I commend the artist – but nowhere can I find any mention of who that is! I'm still searching…
President Higgins speaks out with passion about Ireland's freedom fighter Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa
Michael D is a fluent speaker in Irish. He slipped easily between English and Irish while giving his orations – and made it sound so simple! The sun almost shone, the crowds were in good spirits, and the Band played. The rusty steel was looking good. All in all, the visit of Ireland's President to Skibbereen was a grand job…

How Is Briony Presented In Atonement
Writers use characterisation to purposely construct characters to convey ideas to a reader. In "Atonement" Ian McEwan uses his expertly constructed characters such as Paul Marshall to represent the injustices of a social class system which gives privilege to one class over another. As the title suggests McEwan also plays with the idea of guilt and atonement, the main protagonist and antagonist Briony Tallis is the most complex example of this. The use of Guilt and atonement is perhaps the main theme in "Atonement" and McEwan uses Briony's character as a vessel to portray this. He uses these characterisation as a powerful tool to portray his ideas presented in "Atonement". In "Atonement" Ian McEwan examines the issues of guilt and atonement…show more content…
She has a "controlling demon" that causes her to live in a fantasy world. McEwan uses Briony as a writer to construct his ideas about how throughout her writing, Briony develops a sense of atonement. In a final section, set in 1999, the aging Briony, now a successful novelist, learns that she is developing progressive vascular dementia. In this last part of the book Briony states her ability to remember and grasp reality will desert her, and she "will have lost the ability to comprehend anything at all". But she has finished writing her latest version of Robbie and Cecilia's story, the story readers read in the first part of the novel, "Two Figures by a Fountain", and can rest. Briony's attempted atonement is found through her writing by giving the lovers Robbie and Cecilia a happy ending. "I like to think that it isn't weakness or evasion, but a final act of kindness, a stand against oblivion and despair, to let my lovers live and to unite them at the end." Here McEwan has used a first person narrative voice to reiterate how personal this atonement of giving the lovers a happy ending is to Briony herself as a writer and also to McEwan's ideas of atonement as a writer. McEwan uses symbolism to do this by using the happy ending of "Two Figures by a Fountain" as a symbol of Briony's atonement. McEwan uses Briony as a writer as a main vessel to portray his memorable ideas of guilt and atonement throughout the
Atonement Essay
Atonement by Ian McEwan dramatizes how perception creates reality, how a young girl misinterpreting events can ruin people lives, how easily our words and imagination are used to shape the world around us, and atonement. Life in the Tallis mansion is pretty normal, for a family (living in a mansion) in England 1935. Childhood friends and star crossed Lovers Cee and Robbie conduct an awkward romance dance under the distorted eye of young Briony. Briony is Cee's little sister who does not truly understand
Misreadings In Atonement
Reading and Misreading Ian McEwan's Atonement, is very critical and analytical about how McEwan chose to allow for misreadings in the novel Atonement, and the potential dangerous effects of allowing that. Jacobi focuses on Briony, the narrator of the novel, as the one who is the source of "Who killed Robbie and Cecilia?" It is Briony's misreadings of situations depicted in the novel that forces Robbie to be wrongfully imprisoned, and sent off to war. Likewise, Briony wrongfully separates her sister,
Wrongdoing In Atonement
McEwan's post-modern style novel Atonement, the plot revolves around the Tallis family, especially the youngest child Briony Tallis. The story of the Tallis family is told from several of the character's perspectives, but the novel centers around thirteen year old Briony and her passion for writing. Briony has a wild imagination and she loves to create elaborate stories, sometimes she even includes her family members within
Atonement and the Failure of the General Point of View
McAlister Narrative POV Seminar 2 March 2004 Atonement and the Failure of the General Point of View Atonement's chief narrative feature is McEwan's use of an embedded author—Briony Tallis—whose text is nearly coterminous with the novel itself. This technique is of course not a new one: Sterne's Sentimental Journey and MacKenzie's Man of Feeling are both framed as the written accounts of their protagonists. McEwan's trick in Atonement, though, is presumably that we are to be ignorant of
The Search For Justice In Ian Mcewan's Atonement
her, causing chaos and destruction. Individuals are blinded by what they believe in and many fail to stop and think about how their actions will affect those closest to them. Briony Tallis is a prime example of this; she wants justice to be served for a story that is made up in her head and she does not realize the toll it will take on those around her. In Ian McEwan's Atonement, Briony's wandering imagination leads her to seek a fictional justice that causes people around her to suffer while the truth
Analysis Of Briony 's ' The Trials Of Arabella '
Briony has a need for control and order, even as a young child. She uses writing as a way to create worlds in which she has the ability to manipulate her characters and their outcomes. Briony, the youngest of the tallis children with large age gaps between them, is often alone and isolated. This loneliness causes her to seek attention. Both her desire to be in charge and her need for attention are reflected in the play The Trials of Arabella. Not only has she written the play, but she plans on starring
Betrayal in McEwan's Atonement Essay
In McEwan's Atonement ventures into the lives of the Tallis sisters and the complexities that naivety and selfishness can inflict. Briony Tallis' perjury against Robbie Turner, in her cousin Lola's criminal rape case, disrupts the Tallis family dynamic and the budding romance between Cecelia Tallis and Robbie. Briony's maturation and realization of her wrongdoing implores her to become a nurse during WWII. In Atonement, McEwan depicts a family in turmoil over the lies of young Briony during World
Analysis Of Atonement By The Novel Atonement Essay
The novel Atonement tells the story of a woman desperately trying to make for her past mistakes. The story starts off in the world war two period with the three main characters, Briony, Robbie and Cecelia, as children and young adults. Robbie comes from the poor Turner Family, while Briony and Cecilia are sisters in the powerful and wealthy Tallis Family.

Frank Wedekind's Spring Awakening And Atonement
Frank Wedekind's Spring Awakening and Ian McEwan's Atonement examine the notion that those who abuse power do so for personal gain. Through the use of themes such as: Power in sexuality, including notions of submission and dominance. Coming of age, regarding how children either don't want to grow up, or contrastingly grow up too quickly. The power dichotomy between parents and children, contrasting children oppressed by their parents to those who act as a parental figure, and the use of guilt to

Again, thank you new readers and old, for stopping by my Swenglish blog world. Thank you SO much for leaving kind words, both fellow bloggers and anonymous readers - your words are precious, even if I am still a very "silent" blog friend on your blogs.
I hope you are enjoying a lovely summer, wherever you are!
From the French 'brocante': the two hanging lanterns and the old jelly mould (here acting as fruit basket).
The tray is an old peach crate, and I love how both its age and the tre-digit company phone number have been stamped into the wood, almost "engraved", on the side. The green linen fabric is an old curtain that used to hang in my kitchen in Sweden, and the belt was rejected by the man in the house when they came with his new trousers. A little too new and smart-looking for my taste perhaps, but I thought I would try an idea I had got from Susanne with the wonderful blog "Me and Alice". She used what looks like a softer,well-worn leather belt on a cushion in a neutral colour, and I think that works better than my efforts here. But how boring life would be if I did not experiment a little...?
As I am writing this, it is raining again. Like it did last night... and the day before... and supposedly tomorrow...and for days to come. The old Swedish saying "It is good for the potatoes" seems a little tired and over-used now, and I long for my bad hair days and pale face days to be replaced by sun-caressed, soul-warming summer days. Come on, clouds, surely you have better things to do than hover here?
Oh, dear. A not so bloggable part of our garden, in full view here. The lawn in bad need of a little TLC (= Tender Love and Care), the fence which is no longer so "charming" in its shabby raggedness, the cable running along it to provide electricity for the workshop further down the garden. Ah, well, there you have it. A little dose of Swenglish reality.
Wishing you sun-caressed days, wherever you are!
Thank you for visiting my blog and for all your kind comments - I appreciate every word.
Oh, should any of you feel a sudden urge to move to this picturesque little village, I can reveal that the first cottage in the last photo is for sale, and so is the one by the village pond, in photo number three... Will we perhaps be neighbours soon...?
Wishing you a relaxed, colourful and perhaps wild - in a good way - day!
Yesterday afternoon, my oldest son went to a birthday party in one of our neighbouring villages, beautiful Biddestone. Meanwhile, his younger brother and I took a stroll around this gorgeous little English gem... Aaah, this neighbour is easy to love!
I always feel a little uncomfortable taking photos of other people's houses, but I hope the owners don't mind my admiring their beautiful homes through my lens... Something tells me I am probably not the first one (nor the last) to go a little snap-crazy in this village either.
Wishing you a lovely day and thank you SO much for all of your kind, encouraging comments - I really, really appreciate every comment, every word.
Ps. If you feel these images are too large for your computer screen to comfortably fit them in, don't forget you can always zoom out a little (I find 83% is usually a good size).
With a thousand new ideas in my head, but lacking the time to realize them, and with skies whose hobby seems to be to shower me with wet drops the second I set foot outside, like a young rascal with a water balloon just sooo tempting to throw at a passer-by... well, instead of potentially interesting new pictures, I think today's blog post will be some recycled images from May last year.
I know ivy can be intrusive and even knock over walls with their growth power, but I can't help it, I just love their evergreen loveliness draping walls and tree trunks.
A special welcome to all of you new readers (and of course a warm hello to old readers too). In the past couple of days my blog visit counter has shown more than a staggering 1500 visits per day, and as this is a lot more than usual, despite my not having posted anything for over a week, I can't help but wonder if my blog has appeared somewhere that I am completely unaware of...(other than the normal blog rolls on other blogs, etc)? Either way, it is very flattering and welcome, WELCOME all of you!
Ps. I have now heard that some other bloggers have experienced a similar "rush" of visitors recently, so perhaps my flattering "popularity" is rather the result of a misbehaving counter..:-) Have you had a similar experience with the numbers?
And what if we check out a different angle of the room...?
The Swenglish Home is today featured on the life style website Mammas Egen (Mum's Own) in their series "Room of the Week": http://www.mammasegen.com/material/otroligt-vackra-hemmet-i-danskfransksvensk-countrystil. Thank you, Camilla, for asking me to contribute to your site - I feel honoured!

Asteroid to pass close to earth
Written by Cody Blowers
3-D rendering of an asteroid | Image by Digital Storm, Getty Images, St. George News
ST. GEORGE — A small asteroid the size of a house and traveling at more than 30,000 mph is slated to pass well inside of the moon's orbit, without posing a threat to the planet.
The asteroid dubbed 2012 TC4 will pass by earth Oct. 11 at a distance of 27,000 miles, a distance closer to the earth than the moon, 180,000 miles closer in fact.
Estimated to be only 30 to 100 feet in size, the asteroid has been too distant and too faint to be detected over the last five years, until now.

Discovered on Oct. 4, 2012, by the Pan-STARRS observatory in Hawaii, the asteroid has not been seen by scientists again before it was spotted by a large telescope in Chile, according to a statement released by the European Space Agency Sunday.
2012 TC4 will come closest to Earth Oct. 11 around 11:42 p.m. MDT, close enough that Earth's gravity will slightly alter the asteroid's path, and Oct. 12 at 1:19 p.m. MDT the asteroid will pass 172,000 miles from the moon.
Astronomers now know it will miss the earth but will come close to barely miss the geostationary satellites orbiting the earth 22,000 miles above the planet's surface, which are satellites aligned with the earth's rotation used primarily for weather monitoring and communication, according to NASA.

For researchers, the near miss will provide a rare chance to test Earth's "planetary defense" system for early warning rather than an active asteroid deflection at this point.

The "VLT", or "Very Large Telescope" at Paranal Observatory was the first to find 2012 TC4 after it the first pass by in 2012 and houses the world's most advanced optical instrument made up of four telescopes and a complex system of mirrors, allowing astronomers to see details up to 25 times finer than with the individual telescopes.
The equipment's precision can reconstruct images equivalent to distinguishing " the two headlights of a car at the distance of the Moon," according to the European Southern Observatory's website.
If an asteroid of this size entered our atmosphere it would have a similar effect to the Chelyabinsk event in February 2013, the European Space Agency statement said, where an asteroid 50 feet in diameter and weighing 11,000 tons struck earth's atmosphere at 40,000 mph and broke apart more than 12 miles above the earth.
The Chelyabinsk event generated a shockwave that shattered glass and injured more than 1,200 people, shone more brightly than the sun and was 30-40 times stronger than the atomic bomb the United States dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II.
Observing TC4's movements "is an excellent opportunity to test the international ability to detect and track near-Earth objects and assess our ability to respond together to a real asteroid threat," the statement said.
To observe 2012 TC4 go to The Virtual Telescope Project 2.0.

Just saw on Spaceweather site .1 LD which is close compared to other ones.
23,885 miles from earth and our geostationary satellites @ 22,000 miles. It seems it will pass a bit closer according to Spaceweather site. Wonder if we will have any interference from the fly by?

Menno Simons (1496 – 31 January 1561) was a Roman Catholic priest from the Friesland region of the Low Countries who was excommunicated from the Catholic Church and became an influential Anabaptist religious leader.  Simons was a contemporary of the Protestant Reformers and it is from his name that his followers became known as Mennonites.

"Menno Simons" () is the Dutch version of his name; the Frisian version is Minne Simens (), the possessive "s" creating a patronym meaning "Minne, son of Simen" (cf. English family names like Williams and Rogers).

Biography

Early life
Menno Simons was born in 1496 in Witmarsum, Friesland, Holy Roman Empire. Very little is known concerning his childhood and family except that he grew up in a poor peasant environment. His father's name was Simon, Simons being a patronym, and he had a brother named Pieter.

Simons grew up in a disillusioned war-torn country. Friesland was ravaged by war in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Landsknecht soldiers haunted the Frisian lands in the 1490s to force the 'Free' Frisians to accept the Duke of Saxony-Meissen as their head of state. The duke was the governor of the Netherlands for the Habsburg family. One of the archenemies of the Habsburgs, the Duke of Guelders, invaded Friesland in 1515 and conquered half of it. Saxony ceded the other half to the Habsburgs. The Frisians tried to regain their freedom but they were too weak and eventually accepted the imperial authority of the Habsburg emperor Charles V.

Simons learned Latin and some Greek, and he was taught about the Latin Church Fathers during his training to become a priest. He had never read the Bible, either before or during his training for the priesthood, out of fear that he would be adversely influenced by it. When he later reflected upon this period in his life, he called himself stupid.

Priesthood and brother's death
He was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest in 1515 or 1516 in Utrecht. He was then appointed chaplain in his father's village Pingjum (1524).

Around 1526 or 1527, questions surrounding the doctrine of transubstantiation caused Menno Simons to begin a serious and in-depth search of the Holy Scriptures, which he confessed he had not previously studied, despite being a priest. At this time he arrived at what some have termed an "evangelical humanist" position.

Menno's first knowledge of the concept of "rebaptism", which he said "sounded very strange to me", came in 1531 after hearing of the beheading of Sicke Freerks Snijder at Leeuwarden for being "rebaptized" ("Snijder", meaning "tailor", was probably not the family name, since Freerks is the patronym form of Freerk and Sicke was, in fact, a tailor by trade). A renewed search of the scriptures left Menno Simons believing that infant baptism is not in the Bible. He discussed the issue with his pastor, searched the Church Fathers, and read the works of Martin Luther and Heinrich Bullinger. While still pondering the issue, he was transferred to Witmarsum. Here he came into direct contact with Anabaptists, preaching and practicing "believer's baptism". Later, some of the Münsterite disciples came there as well. While he regarded them as misled and fanatical, he was drawn to their zeal and their views of the Bible, the Church, and discipleship.

In 1535, his brother Pieter was among a group of Anabaptists killed near Bolsward because of his participation in the violent takeover of a Catholic monastery known as the Oldeklooster (or Bloemkamp Abbey). This monastery, near Bolsward in the Dutch province of Friesland, was seized on 30 March 1535 by about 300 Anabaptists of Friesland, both men and women, led by Jan van Geelen, an emissary of the Anabaptists of Münster. They thereby won a strong position and from here tried to conquer the entire province.  The imperial stadholder Georg Schenck van Toutenburg was put in charge of capturing the old monastery from the Anabaptists. He supposed that he would be able to do so easily, but found himself compelled to conduct a regular siege. On 1 April he decided to bombard the monastery with heavy artillery and tried to storm it, leading his soldiers in four assaults. On the third they succeeded in taking several positions, although some of the fortifications and the church remained in Anabaptist possession. On 7 April the monastery was finally stormed after a severe battle. 300 Anabaptists were killed. Of the ones who did not lose their lives in the attack, 37 were then beheaded and 132, both men and women, taken to Leeuwarden, where another 55 were executed after a short trial. Jan van Geelen escaped.

After the death of his brother Pieter, Menno experienced a spiritual and mental crisis. He said he "prayed to God with sighs and tears that He would give to me, a sorrowing sinner, the gift of His grace, create within me a clean heart, and graciously through the merits of the crimson blood of Christ, He would graciously forgive my unclean walk and unprofitable life..."

Anabaptists

Menno Simons rejected the Catholic Church and the priesthood on 12 January 1536, casting his lot with the Anabaptists. The exact  date of his new baptism is unknown, but he was probably baptized not long after leaving Witmarsum in early 1536. By October 1536 his connection with Anabaptism was well known, because it was in that month that Herman and Gerryt Jansz were arrested, charged and beheaded for having lodged Simons. He was ordained around 1537 by Obbe Philips. Obbe and his brother, Dirk Philips, were among the peaceful disciples of Melchior Hoffman (the more radical of Hoffman's followers having participated in the Münster Rebellion). It was Hoffman who introduced the first self-sustaining Anabaptist congregation in the Netherlands, when he taught and practiced believers' baptism in Emden in East Frisia. Menno Simons rejected the violence advocated by the Münster movement, believing it was not Scriptural. His theology was focused on separation from this world, and baptism by repentance symbolized this.

Menno evidently rose quickly to become a man of influence. Before 1540, David Joris, an Anabaptist of the "inspirationist" variety, had been the most influential leader in the Netherlands. By 1544, the term Mennonite or Mennist was used in a letter to refer to the Dutch Anabaptists.

Twenty-five years after his renunciation of Catholicism, Menno died on 31 January 1561 at Wüstenfelde, Holstein, and was buried in his garden. He was married to a woman named Gertrude, and they had at least three children, two daughters and a son.

Theology

Menno Simons' influence on Anabaptism in the Low Countries was so great that Baptist historian William Estep suggested that their history be divided into three periods: "before Menno, under Menno, and after Menno". Menno is especially significant because of his coming to the Anabaptist movement in the north in its most troublesome days, and helping not only to sustain it, but also to establish it as a viable Radical Reformation movement.

Excommunication
Girolimon (1995) compares the teachings of Menno Simons with those of Protestant reformer John Calvin (1509–64), focusing on the issue of excommunication. This theological analysis stresses sharp contrasts between the two leaders on four basic principles: on procedures leading to excommunication, on the severity of sanctions on the excommunicant, on the restoration of a repentant individual, and on civil punishment. Calvin and Menno, each a leader of distinct wings of the Reformation, both believed this extreme form of discipline to be essential to the function of the church in society, agreeing on the basic grounds for excommunication as expressed in the New Testament. Menno, however, envisioned the application of reprimand as a process administered by the entire church body against any sin; Calvin reserved excommunication for especially severe transgressions as identified by the Company of Pastors and the Consistory. Among other disagreements, Calvin approved civil punishment for certain forms of unorthodoxy while Menno advocated strict church/state separation.  They differed most profoundly in their views on why church discipline was necessary. Simons saw human perfectability as attainable after conversion, while Calvin stressed an Augustinian theology of human depravity.

Bride of Christ
Menno Simons drew heavily from Biblical images of the bride of Christ when envisioning a new church. He found in the Biblical Song of Solomon a description of the relationship between a purified church and Christ that not only applied to a reformed church but also to the earthly marriage between man and woman. Like the bride in the songs, the woman must come in total love and devotion and will be cleansed of her natural evil by contact with her husband. He did not alter the conventional view of relations between men and women but idealized the woman's subordinate and asexual status.

Infant baptism
The Anabaptists insisted on believer's (normally adult) baptism. By contrast, Martin Luther defended infant baptism; his belief in it stemmed from his view of the church as ideally an inclusive reality in a Christian society. Menno Simons based his rejection of infant baptism on the concept of the church as a disciplined group of individuals who have voluntarily committed their lives to Christ. He viewed sanctification as a lifelong process that does not completely rid the presence of sin from one's life.

Peace
Although some Anabaptists in Amsterdam and Münster in the 16th century engaged in violence and murder, Dutch Mennonites generally became pious and peaceful. In his 1539 Christian Baptism Menno Simons stated his reluctance to engage in disputes, which may have stemmed from his reluctance for years to announce his true convictions. Simons' relationships with the radical Münsterites and peaceful Melchiorites may offer additional clues.

Asceticism
Menno Simons rejected asceticism in terms of its traditional practices of social withdrawal, mortification, and self-denial. Historical theologian Richard Valantasis, however, has suggested that asceticism should not be defined as these physical practices but as a group of activities designed to re-establish social relations between the individual and the dominant social environment through a new subjectivity, different social relations, and an alternative symbolic universe. Simons' theology is ascetic by Valantasis's definition since it used these methods to restructure Anabaptists' relationship with 'worldly' society.

China successfully debuted the Jielong-3 orbital rocket from the Tai Rui Barge in the Yellow Sea. Liftoff happened at 06:35 UTC, and the success of the mission was confirmed a bit later. The payload for this mission was a rideshare of 14 satellites.
Eight of the rideshare payloads were Jilin Gaofen ("high resolution") satellites, seven of which were numbered 44-50. These satellites are part of a remote sensing satellite system that is operated by Chang Guang Satellite Technology, which is part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
One slightly different satellite of the Jilin constellation was also included in this launch. The Jilin-1 01A01 satellite will be used for different purposes, depending on the need of the constellation, and can be used for remote sensing or navigation.

The constellation is used to observe Earth and collect data in numerous fields, such as geography and land surveying, ocean monitoring, and atmospheric research. Jilin Gaofen is expected to reach 138 satellites over time.

Another part of the maiden launch was a satellite of the Tianqi constellation. The kick-off of the constellation was in 2018, and it is used as a LEO communications satellite that will provide internet of things communications. The full constellation is planned to feature 38 LEO satellites that aim to enhance connectivity for the industry in China.
Also part of this initial launch was the Fengtai Shaonian 2 school satellite, three Dongpo Earth surveillance satellites, the HEAD 2H Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver, two Jinzijing Earth surveillance payloads, and the Huoju 1-01 research satellite. Not every payload for this launch received exact purposes or mass details.
The rocket for today's launch was Jielong-3 (Smart Dragon 3). It is the second rocket that has launched with the Jielong name. In August 2019, the Jielong-1 rocket was launched as part of a program that had the goal to enable fast and cost-efficient launch capabilities. The launch was confirmed a success, and since then, no other Jielong-1 has flown.
Initially, a Jielong-2 was planned as well. The plan to develop the 21-meter-long rocket, however, was canceled in September 2021.
Before the launch, the rocket was carried on the Tai Rui Barge, which was towed by the Bei Hai Jiu 118 support ship.

The Jielong-3 rocket consists of four solid-fueled rocket stages. It is 31.8 meters tall with a diameter of about 2.65 meters. It is planned to launch payloads up to 1,500 kg into Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO), with today's payload mass being unknown. It is planned to primarily utilize the sea launch capabilities in the Yellow Sea and use the barges such as DeBomethane-powered 3, or today's barge Tai Rui.
The payload fairing is 3.35 meters in diameter and gives the rocket its very front-heavy shape. Of the 145 t of mass at liftoff, about 71 t is the solid motor of the first stage.
In contrast to other solid rockets of China, such as Chang Zheng 11 (Long March 11), this rocket is not "cold launched" from the barge. Cold launched means that the rocket is expelled from a launch tube on the barge, and then ignited in the air. For Jielong-3, the ignition happens on the barge itself. It produces 2,000 kN of thrust at liftoff. It is launched on a grid, directly over the sea, so the water of the ocean is used as a suppression system for the launch vehicle.

— Cosmic Penguin (@Cosmic_Penguin) December 9, 2022
The rocket shows some very close similarities with the recently debuted ZK-1A rocket, which also utilizes solid motors. Not only are the length and diameter very similar, but also the rocket motor appears to be the same. The exact background of this similarity is not known yet, but it could be a very similar basis for the rocket that is used for both of these flight vehicles. This is further supported by the fact that both vehicles happened in different arms of the Chinese government space program.
For transport, the Jielong-3 is transferred to a launch barge at its harbor in Haijang in a horizontal configuration. Later, the rocket is then raised vertically on the ship for launch. In later attempts, the plan is to carry multiple rockets and payloads on the ship when going out to sea to further increase the launch cadence of Chinese rockets. A production capacity of 20 rockets per year is planned for the Jielong rockets.
Down the line, a third Jielong family rocket is planned, called Jielong-4. It aims to further boost the solid rocket capabilities of China with a 500-ton thrust at liftoff rocket. No further details on the possible timeline and maiden launch for this rocket are known as of now.
Sea launch capabilities are becoming increasingly important for the Chinese rocket program. After the Chang Zheng 11H already conducted four launches from different barges on the Yellow Sea, this is the second launch vehicle that uses it as a launch pad. Private companies, such as Galactic Energy, have also voiced their interest to launch from there.
This launch was already the third launch of China this week, after the Chang Zheng 2D Gaofen mission on Thursday at 18:31 UTC, and the Kuaizhou 11 mission carrying the Xingyun VDES payload on Wednesday at 01:15 UTC. Both missions were confirmed to be successful.

With this launch, China stands at 58 launches in 2022, with several more launches planned before the closing of the year. This includes the possibility of launching the first methane-based rocket to orbit. The company LandSpace, with their ZhuQue-2 rocket, is in a race with the American company Relativity Space for the milestone. Both rockets are currently at their pads, with ZhuQue-2 currently targeting Dec. 14 for a maiden launch.

Colin wrote the third episode of the second series of the police drama set on Ireland's beautiful West Coast starring Owen McDonnell. Broadcast in November 2010 on RTE1 in Ireland and to be transmitted in 2011 on ITV in the UK.
"Single-Handed is unsentimental, convincing, heartfelt drama, a credit to its makers."
Colin Teevan's script brims with felicity.


I'm very fortunate that my kids usually like their veggies, but I know that's not true for every parent. Then you add in my son's dairy, egg, and peanut allergies and my recent discovery of my own dairy intolerance, and things get even more interesting. No hiding broccoli under sharp cheddar cheese at this house, sorry ladies! Now that even more in my home are sensitive to certain foods, I've been inspired by a show called Chef At Home. You can look up Chef Michael Smith's Chef At Home on youtube.com for some inspiration. He cooks without recipes and by following his gut of what he thinks sounds like it would be good together.
Sometimes I do that anyways, but generally I feel a meal is more likely to be a success if I follow a recipe. So here's my latest discovery! It is vegan by default and avoids dairy, egg, soy, corn, gluten, nuts, potatoes, and tomatoes (yes, I know people with each of these allergies).
For easy following in the directions, I'll refer to using a blender, but if you have a food processor, you can use that in place of a blender where noted. Everything will be made in the blender and same large pan, so it's super easy to clean up! It may seem like a lot of steps, but you're always preparing the next part while something is on the stove, so it moves quickly, I promise! The total time for this meal is 30-40 minutes from start to finish, depending on how quickly you chop vegetables.
Add about 1-2 TBSP of olive oil to your large soup/stock pan and add the cauliflower to heat over medium. Stir occasionally.
Rinse the blender with water and add the carrots, after cutting off the ends and peeling if you like. This will "rice" the carrots too.
Stir the cauliflower occasionally for 3-4 minutes, add the carrots and continue stirring. The mixture will end up being sort of yellow in color, as everything gets softer and cooked fully.
Wash and chop the broccoli into desired size (I did fairly small pieces because of the ages of my kids).
Once the riced carrots and cauliflower are a nice yellowish color, place in the bottom of a 9 or 10 inch baking dish and set aside with the lid on (to keep it hot).
Rinse the blender again. This time, rinse and strain your chickpeas (or alternate white beans) and throw those in the blender.
Add 4 TBSP of tahini, the juice of half a lemon, and 2 garlic cloves crushed (yes, literally put them on your cutting board, cut off the ends and the outer membrane, and put your knife sideways on top of the clove. Gently crush the clove with your other hand until flattened a bit and then add to the blender).
Add 1 TBSP of water and ½ tsp. each of cumin and salt.
Spoiler alert: You just made hummus, congratulations! It's that easy!
Rinse your big pot (remember to use your kitchen mitts so you don't burn yourself) and fill with about two inches of water.
Add back to the heat and insert your steaming basket or steaming pot.
If you don't have a steaming basket, you can get them rather inexpensively at any store with a kitchen section. Mine is metal with little holes in it. and I can use it in different sized pots. It also collapses for easy storage, but there are many options.
Add cut broccoli to pot and cover, stirring occasionally until the broccoli is tender (about 7-8 minutes over medium heat).
Dice your onion and mushrooms while your broccoli is steaming.
Once broccoli is cooked to desired tenderness, scoop it out of the pot into your serving dish (on top of the riced cauliflower and carrots) and cover again.
Remove the steaming basket and rinse your pot again (remember those oven mitts).
Add another 1-2 TBSP of olive oil over medium-high heat and add in your onions.
Cook for 3-4 minutes and then add the mushrooms. Cook for another 4-6 minutes until the onions are mostly clear and the mushrooms are tender.
Scoop about ½ to ¾ cup of the hummus into the pot with the onions and mushrooms (you can store the rest in an air-tight container in your fridge for a healthy sandwich spread or veggie dip for later).
Stir until hummus becomes part of the broth. It will be almost like a gravy with vegetables in it.
Last but not least, add the "secret sauce" to the top of your serving dish, serve hot, and enjoy!

V Games
by Caroline Peckham
My name is Selena Grey. I'm a convicted killer. I thought I'd be in prison for the next twenty five years of my life. But I was wrong. And now I'd give anything go back.
On a stormy island in the depths of the Arctic Circle, I'm hunted daily by ravenous vampires whilst trying to survive the harsh terrain of a bleak land. I've been forced into a violent game with twenty four other girls. A game run by a cruel and powerful family who televises the blood sport for their sick spectators. Bets have been made on my life. And I have no choice but to keep playing.
My only hope might be a Vampire slave who frightens me to my core. But there's something about him I'm drawn to. Beneath his dark, twisted exterior, is a man crying out for help. Could this lost soul be my salvation?

I've had many magical moments on trips all around the world. Watching Mt. Everest come into view on a mountaintop in Nepal. Setting off waves of lanterns on New Year's Eve on the islands of Thailand. Stepping foot among the centuries old pyramids in Egypt, and so many more. However, one of my favorite travel memories occurred here, in Colombia. One of the best weekends of my life was spent traveling and exploring Cartagena, Colombia with two of my best friends. We went in early March (2017) and the weather was amazing, 32 degrees and sunny every day. Perfect for bumming on the beach and sipping mojitos in the Old Town.
We spent the day exploring the Getsemani neighborhood and exploring the colorful streets of the walled in Old Town. Street vendors, shops, graffiti walls and vibrant cascading flowers make this town come to life in a way that I haven't seen before in Colombia.
The food scene is also amazing. If you love seafood, this is definitely the place for you. On Friday night we at fresh ceviche and lobster and seafood paella washed down with coco locos in the sun at La Cevicheria. Even Anthony Bourdain raved about his visit to the hole in the wall restaurant. We finished our night in a blur hitting all the little bars, enjoying the lively squares, and dancing til sunrise in the salsa clubs.
On the next day, we took a boat out to the sunny, white sand beaches of the Caribbean islands outside of Cartagena. It was a true paradise, and a perfect way to spend a lazy weekend in Cartagena, laying in the sun and enjoying the views. There's also diving, snorkeling, and jet skiing for the more adventurous types.
We finished our weekend with sunburns, hangovers, full stomachs, and plenty of stories to bring home to our friends and families. All in all, I had a perfect weekend in Cartagena. The colorful town, vibrant nightlife, and pristine beaches make it a must visit destination for anyone traveling to Colombia.
