GAY MARRIAGE RULING IS OMINOUS
Home/Latest News Releases/GAY MARRIAGE RULING IS OMINOUS
Bill Donohue comments on the Supreme Court decision declaring same-sex marriage a constitutional right:
Once again, five Supreme Court justices have invented a right that is nowhere mentioned or implied in the U.S. Constitution. Instead of allowing the states the right to make decisions about marriage, these judges have elected to impose their will on the nation.
Moreover, their reasoning is sociologically illiterate. The idea that marriage is a matter of individual autonomy—and not a social institution—is the most profound flaw in their ruling. In their mind, society is composed of monads.
For people of faith, this decision is ominous. On p. 27, the majority declares that religious Americans "may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned." It is nice to know they respect our First Amendment right to freedom of speech.
"The First Amendment," the five justices say, "ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives…." That's the best they can do? Justice Clarence Thomas, in his dissent, rightly criticizes this genuflection to religious rights. "Religious liberty," he says, "is about freedom of action in matters of religion generally"—it is not confined to advocacy.
In order to stop the IRS from revoking the tax-exempt status of religious institutions that refuse to marry two men or two women, Congress needs to pass the First Amendment Defense Act that was introduced last week. Nothing less is acceptable.

Luther and the Protestant Reformation: Crash Course World History #218
On: April 18, 2020 April 18, 2020 By: Some Guy
Hiya, i'm John inexperienced, and that is Crash direction World historical past, in these days we will be able to speak in regards to the Protestant Reformation. Mr. Inexperienced! This subject does now not quandary me, due to the fact i am an atheist. I do know my self from the prior, you might be me. And correctly, you at the moment are bishop, The bishopric was once a Protestant church centered through a king when you consider that of his desire to divorce. Nonetheless, let me acknowledge the importance of religious history regardless of our individual devout beliefs, it helps us comprehend lenses by way of which persons aspire to their lives and societies, and on this foundation, Protestant reform may be very primary in line with historians, These aren't obscene. Before the reform, all European Christians have been Roman Catholics. There were other Christian denominations, of course, in eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa but Roman Catholics were the dominant sect since close to the fourth century. The Protestant Reformation dismantled the so-referred to as "Western Christianity" for 2 sects, as three, 4, except there have been numerous denominations in Christianity.There were now not simply Lutherans, There are additionally the Apostolic Lutherans, the Reformed Lutherans, and the Free Lutherans The Lutherans returning to Catholicism considering the predicament became problematic. This was once tremendously major, because it modified folks's perceptions of themselves and the world, And resulted in multiplied literacy in Europe, and finally forced governments to impose political freedoms, whilst, it used to be a political revolution rather than a devout one. In the center ages in Europe, the Catholic Church was once in manipulate of European civilization, it is practically inconceivable to suppose how medieval church supremacy, but we will be able to try. First, the Catholic Church was once the steward of what the Christians have probably the most: their souls, it's, in contrast to their mortal our bodies, everlasting. Then there may be the parish priest who plays a pivotal position in every persons life, He baptizes him, marries him, hears his confessions, and brings to him his last rites. The church also offered all social services, such as distributing alms to the terrible, The administration of orphans, the availability of current education, and most Europeans met of their lives One man or woman can learn the Bible, which was once most effective on hand in Latin, and it is the parish priest. Just because the Church owned more than a 3rd of Europes lands, What made it the strongest monetary and political authority on the continent. Simply as the Pope was once notably the kings of Europe, because the successor of the Roman Emperor. So the church was an extraordinarily strong tuition, What brought her finish to it was a hermit with persistent constipation. We do not like to exhibit greatness in our application. But the reform used to be surely created and formed by using one man, Martin Luther. No, Stan, it was named after him. No, Stan, it was once additionally named after him. Sure. Let's go to the concept Bubble. Luther studied regulation, and like different law scholars, he hated his studies. Then, at some point, a surprising storm came and hit lightning, Then he shouted from his panic: "support me, Saint Anna, and i'm going to be a hermit!" Luther survived, and in the next two weeks he left school He entered an Augustine monastery and skim the covenants, I ship a message to his household informing them of his decision, and i am definite they have been very joyful With the money they paid for his schooling, the hermit was once very moneymaking. In 1505, Luther was sent to Rome on a diplomatic mission, and he neglected all the great artwork in it He focused most effective on the corruption of Rome: Prostitutes open their offerings within the soiled streets, The priests who underestimated their obligations and hurriedly ordered the liturgy unless it seemed to haven't any value, they have been publicly mocking church teachings. Luther was once obsessed with his own sin and kept confessing and admitting non-stop Even the confession priest and his lecturers sent him to university of Wittenberg, that is considering that they obtained annoyed with him and proposal he would succeed in instructing the Bible. These days, it seems people who cease to confess a software the true housewives of recent Jersey, after which they went to school of Wittenberg. Often, Luther found his answer and subsequently within the letters of St. Peter, And exactly on one line he says: "And the righteous along with his religion shall live." In different phrases, "salvation comes with faith, now not fairly excellent Neither prayer, nor fasting, nor tahajjud, nor Hajj, nor the rest sacred monuments Neither the charity of the bad, nor the sacred rituals, nor any motion that one would take. Our movements can certainly not be useful of salvation, only religion can shop us. " In Latin: Sola Fideh means: simplest via faith. Thanks, proposal Bubble. So Luther's new interpretation of the Latin phrase has grow to be a giant clash With the Catholic Church when a monk named John Tetzl got here to Wittenberg selling the devices of forgiveness. The devices of forgiveness were donations to the church in exchange for the Pope's promise lowering the time spent in the purgatory mistake. An instrument of forgiveness utilized by monk Tetzl says: "I make you innocent and pure as the hour in which I used to be baptized." Luther felt that this will have to not be bought. And the rate of those instruments promises to erase all errors of existence and beauty three manufacturers, incidentally, and this exceeds 1/2 a yr's wages for a employee. Luther didn't like to peer parishioners pay cash they did not possess In trade for a section of paper that he saw was meaningless, He wrote the ninety-5 circumstances towards the devices as a response, and she or he fixed it in a dramatic manner on the door of the church with a nail for all to peer on October 31, 1517, Or, mail her to the archbishop, or bend them.We are not definite what occurred. This ended in polemics among other priests, and Luther's position at the time was once getting more extreme. He started through announcing that Christians are saved by means of their religion by myself and the grace of the Lord, Then he ascended his position via mentioning that the church rituals did not have the vigor to avoid wasting lives. After that, he argued that the Church and the Pope have been wrong and not infallible. This was once a rather daring announcement, and it obtained worse When Luther categorically denied the force of the Church and its religious guys. He stated that priesthood is a human invention, And that Christians do not need monks to receive the grace of the Lord. As an alternative, he changed it with what he referred to as "the priesthood of all believers." So what began as a case for reforming the Yom Kippur was once converted right into a revolution. In 1521, Luther was invited to protect his strategies earlier than the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, in the Worms Imperial Legislative Council. Or in German, forms. Let me also say involving my prior speech, that seeing that you bought caught For the flawed German pronunciation, i'll right it: Wittenberg. It is long-established for Emperor Charles to say: "One monk objects to whole Christianity The record for a thousand years ought to be improper. Luther responded, "apply your mouth, your damned grandson of the Habsburgs." however Charles's saying is a bit logical, correct? Many extremist monks have criticized the Churchs exploitation and hypocrisy over the years, So why would Luther's outcome be exclusive? The primary intent used to be printing. Most of the people of Europe at that time had been illiterate, but many of them were not, certainly the clergymen. Greater than 2,000 prints of Luther's writings seemed between 1517 and 1526. His writings have been also printed in leaflets and posters photos that were visible and browse aloud reached thousands of readers and listeners. The backside line is that Luther's recommendations unfold all over, as if Tumblr was that point, A representative of the city clubs and flyers hooked up to the doors. And she made a fuss, primarily in it, written about the Pope being the enemy of Christ And that satan sent him. The speech became extreme as I stated. But probably Luther's most innovative publication is his translation of the Bible into German. For the primary time in history, non-saints have been equipped to learn the Bible on their own considering Luther used his German translation, which persons spoke alternatively of Latin, And its translation spread speedily among the many public. Hundreds and hundreds of countless numbers of copies of the Luther Bible were printed, And humans carried it in their pockets and kept it, And everyone used to be competent to quote the Bible and talk about its which means. Luther assumed that if persons return to the Bible directly, they will see the one fact and the Church will return to her prior simplicity. This did not occur. I have a message for these trying to revive historical past: there's no long-established simplicity! Once the Bible turns into to be had to everybody They have been told that their opinions were as foremost as these of the clergy unless all people started to interpret devout fact as they like. Branching from the Luther motion, more than a few reform movements took location: Then these identical branches branched out. It's like how there was Iron Man at first and then the Avengers descended from it Then the Avengers television show We may soon see an Ant Man film. The Protestant Reformation is very similar to the sector of surprise comedian characters however without a bull, it's pagan! In spite of everything, many of these new denominations Their names are known to you: Anglican, Puritan, Quakers and Presbyterian Methodist and Baptist, each of these new Protestant churches She believes that her procedure of worshiping the Lord is right, and that the leisure will enter Hell. This ended in the battle … And likewise the viscera. It is time for an open letter. But let's see what's throughout the globe first. Best, I proposal we would in finding any individual without guts, but they have been baptized they don't seem to be baptizing their children.Hi. So, you do not consider in youngster baptism. And you consider that when one reaches his age, he has to make his own selection about salvation. As for different Catholics and Protestants, they think that it's okay to baptize babies. Or that is even just right. I don't believe that otherwise would lead to the discharge of viscera. But he did. What quite amazes me, my expensive generals, is that you simply had no country No political pronouncing prevails in any society, nonetheless, your evangelical group It has emerge as totally main in the historical past of the world. Butter is that many of you're going to lamentably be done. Fortunately, your letter will final long. Stan, for whom is that this open letter addressed? The baptists are the Amish now, and they are not watching me. I suppose some of them are menonation. This letter is addressed to you, Mennonites! So, with all these new sects, years of religious chaos have befallen people. The clergy started out to name for brand new extremist recommendations, and others got here, explaining them with extra severe interpretations. Men and women, exceptionally younger folks, destroyed church buildings to denounce the Bible with carved pix. What started out as a doctrinal dispute grew to become a social revolution, In 1525, peasants adopted Luther's recommendations to precise their lengthy-standing grievances against landowners and clergy. And in the most noted revolutionary assertion for them, referred to as the twelve gadgets, The peasants emulated Luther's phrases, saying slavery is a human invention that has no basis within the Bible. The peasants revolted, refused to pay taxes, and plundered church lands They created an navy of 300,000. Luther had a good time at the independence of the freed spirits and sooner or later. No, i am joking, now not blessed. Luther informed the elite that "Christian freedom" a non secular term that is not supposed to search equality or freedom within the material world. Then he urged the believers to beat, slaughter and stab "the rebels and killed them as stray dogs. He additionally deserted the thought of parishioners electing their clergymen He said that kings and princes have been placed with the aid of the Lord of their positions as guardians of the church. This celebration has won, at least for just a few hundred years. The revolution of German peasants, considered the most important revolutionary uprising in Europe before the French Revolution, it used to be crushed with superb brutality, with the dying toll estimated at one hundred,000. Luther chose the princes' permission in want of stability and success, however why would the Lutheran princes decide on the Roman Emperor forbade them? So let's appear at one example, the primary ruler to defect from the Pope, The multi-divorced hero of the Anglican foundation, King Henry VIII of England. What, Stan? Now not King Henry VIII. Albert the great master of the cult of the hermits of the Teutons, they are knights who ruled reward-day Poland. Many Teutonic knights abandoned their sect and transformed to Lutheranism because they appreciated it. Albert commenced studying Lutheran publications and then admired them and allowed the Lutheran preachers to enter his cities, He even traveled to satisfy Luther himself. On recommendation of Luther, the Grand master Albert disbanded the Teutonic Knights, He created Prussia gustatory. Possibly it was once a country the place every person loved a excessive taste. No, her name is Prussia Ounce. Stan says she is neither a taster nor an oz, however a duchy of Prussia. Probably speakme, Albert founded a Lutheran church in it, and was once the primary professional Lutheran church for the state. But it is not likely that Alberts motivation for this was once his wish to cleanse the church of corruption. When he made his selections, the historic grasp was in concern, He used to be losing regional battles against the leisure of Poland And his cash was once running out, so, by way of his separation from the church, Albert was in a position to seize the property of the church placed in his rule He strengthened his army and allowed him to win the struggle. A different advantage of his separation is that, as he's now a duke and now not a master of the most important hermit, He can marry and have children. And that is what he did, and he headquartered the ruling Hohenzollern apartment He was destined to unite and rule the German Empire after some centuries. This shows a high-quality motivation that made princes and kings cut loose the Pope. What if, instead of the church having the cash and the power, I owned it? These are the two matters i love in regards to the hearts of kings, Protestantism allowed them to confiscate the churchs land and its wealth They gather their taxes, and use their land for his or her advantage. Did the Queen own most of the land in England? Because of the Protestant Reformation. However, we must now not underestimate the devout motive for reform. I imply, Catholics particularly believed that Protestants had been heretical, As for the Protestants, they believed that the Pope and his priestly physique have been charlatans. If most effective motivation was once land and impact what is the interpretation of the Prince of Saxony John Friedrich, for example? After being defeated and imprisoned by the Catholic Emperor, provide Frederick the choice between his lands and his religion, so he chooses the creed. And there are Catholics like Sir Thomas extra who refused to enable Henry VIII to secede from the Pope, And he chose to execute in violation of the sanctities. Ultimately, the reform was once both a devout and a political movement. Many argue that reform has improved devout tolerance in Europe, considering that men and women needed to reside collectively, After you battle and observe that Catholics and Protestants will are living together. There were also other effects of the Protestant Revolution, Max Weber known as it the groundwork of European capitalism. However for me, the main aspect of the Protestant Reformation it's in two words: objection and reform that have been at the coronary heart of political ideas prior to now centuries, And at the same time religion blames violence and intolerance, and there's some evidence for it, It should be remembered that many leaders of the American civil rights movement, for example They were Protestant clergy, and they've witnessed a history of objection real and continuous restore charge, including humans like Gandhi and Thoreau and in addition Martin Luther.

People use the term "operational excellence" in a lot of different ways. In its vaguest sense, it means continuous improvement as applied to operations. But you're interested in what it means in the context of technology operations. And I'm here to tell you that it means automation.
This is easily the most obvious. Turn everything into code that can be automatically executed by a machine. This includes the building of infrastructure, application deployments, testing, recovery, and anything that requires or benefits from being defined in a runbook. If it's a repeatable process, code it and let a machine do it.
The delightful side-effect of defining everything as code is that code can serve as documentation. It becomes trivial to have a machine take code as input, execute it, and then generate some pretty documentation based on a template. The resulting documentation can then be used by another machine. All automatically, of course.
Without getting into the rationale behind this, the point is that the only way to make small changes as frequently as possible is to use automation. Pushing a code change to a repo whence it's automagically built, deployed, and documented is faster than doing any of that manually. Reversing a change automatically is faster, too.
If you're not automating something, and you can, then do it. Of course, you should avoid automating a bad process. Fix the process and automate it. And if there's nothing to automate right now, keep looking, because changes will inevitably bring opportunities for automation.
Break things to cause failures. If recovering from those failures requires manual intervention, automate the recovery steps.
The idea is to share what you've learned with others. Of course, what you've learned is that automation is the key to achieving operational excellence. So just keep it simple and tell them to automate.
But isn't operational excellence more than just automation?
What operational excellence actually looks like depends on the organization. But no matter how you slice it, you're closer to operational excellence if you automate than you are if you don't. So yes, there is more to it than just automation, just as there's more to driving than going from point A to point B. But if operational excellence is the goal, you need the vehicle to get there, and the only vehicle that will do it is automation.


Ignacio Berroa is a Cuban jazz drummer. In a way, he's the Keith Moon of Cuban jazz drummers because so much raw energy and excitement flies off his drum kit as he's playing. He's far more disciplined than Moon, however, so don't expect me to apply the word "sloppy" to his playing. Ignacio Berroa is Moon-like because of the explosive quality of his playing, especially when his impossibly dense fills come out of nowhere and leave you breathless.
Straight Ahead from Havana, his new album, has a very accurate and descriptive title. Berroa takes Cuban standards such as "Alma con Alma" and "Deja Que Sigla Solo" and arranges them into straightforward jazz tunes. This is an idea inspired by the great Dizzy Gillespie--Berroa worked with Dizzy many years ago--and it focuses on the idea of "cultural connections" and how different jazz genres can be viewed as equal while "respecting the differences." With pianist Martin Bejerano and bassists Josh Allen and Lowell Ringel, Berroa guides this trio through a collection of tunes that are equally warm and full of fireworks.
What's astonishing about Straight Ahead from Havana is how little it sounds "Cuban" to the uninitiated who only know about this kind of music from Buena Vista Social Club. This is where your knowledge of jazz will come in handy, how these melodies have been transformed into something leaner. You could search out more traditional performances of "La Tarde" and "Nuestras Vidas," which will undoubtedly put a huge smile on your face once you discover the extent of Berroa's hard work and dedication. But even from the most casual perspective, the performances captured here are obviously coming from musicians who play at a rarified level, musicians who do more than play. They make history as well as keep it.
Berroa, like Gillespie before him, brings intelligence and thoughtfulness to a form of music known for its spontaneity and passion. That conclusion almost completely destroys the earlier references to Keith Moon, a man not necessarily known for his aversion to excess. That paradox is what makes Berroa so unique--explosive energy and extraordinary discipline can co-exist, and on Straight Ahead from Havana you can listen to it for yourself.

Episode 273: All These Years
November 27, 2013 Joe Caldwell, July 1967incompetence, lost, police futility, shaggy dogDanny Horn
"I've been a prisoner because of this room!"
I've noticed a bunch of new readers showing up on the site this week, which is fantastic, but not necessarily the best timing. This is the final week of the last non-supernatural storyline, and it's taking a minute to wrap up. The last time we saw the vampire was over a week ago, and all he did was talk to Liz about suicide.
So, new readers — stick around! The vampire comes back tomorrow, and next week he's going to throw a costume party. Seriously, that's the next storyline.
But, today: more of this. We're still playing out the aftermath of Liz and Jason's wedding, where Liz confessed that she killed her first husband, and that Jason helped her bury his body in the basement. Burke is downstairs, digging up the basement floor with the criminally incompetent Sheriff Patterson.
Burke and the Sheriff find the trunk that Paul was buried in, pull it out of the hole and open it. In unison, they look down at the box, then at each other, and then down to the box again. There's a dramatic sting, but they could have done a comedy "Boinnggg!" and it would have worked just as well.
Upstairs, a stubborn Liz is unshakeably committed to the idea that she should be put in prison as soon as possible.
Roger tries to reassure her, saying, "Paul Stoddard was robbing you; there's not a court in this country that would convict you."
Personally, I'm not so sure about that. It's weird; they said the word lawyer yesterday, so this can't be set in a parallel universe where lawyers don't exist.
Starsky and Hutch come upstairs, and the Sheriff gets a call — his deputies have found Jason. He tells them to bring Jason back to the house, so he can answer some questions about the trunk.
Then the Sheriff gives Liz the big news: The trunk in the basement is empty! There's no body, and no sign that there ever was a body there.
Stunned, Liz says that she wants to go downstairs and see it.
Patterson is kind of put out by this request, saying, "There's no reason why you can't take my word for it." This must be another episode of The Whining Detective.
So everybody heads back downstairs. This is one of those days where the whole episode is about moving back and forth between two locations. This is a well-known narrative technique, popularized by Lost in its later seasons.
Naturally, Liz is confused.
Liz: But there's nothing there!
Patterson: Nope, and no sign that anything ever was.
Liz: Why is there nothing there?
Patterson: That's one of the things that I want to find out from McGuire.
Liz: But I've kept this room locked! I haven't left Collinwood for eighteen years, to be sure nobody came down here and found out!
Roger: Come on, Liz, let's go back upstairs.
Liz: I've been a prisoner because of this room! But there's nothing there, nothing! Why have I lived like this? Why have I been guarding this room?
So it's a nice story moment, a big plot twist that turns everything that we thought we knew about the story on its head.
Unfortunately, it's a plot twist that makes the story less interesting, which is bad soap opera and bad storytelling. We should demand our money back.
A deputy brings Jason down to the basement, and there's a long scene where he just crosses his arms and denies everything.
Boy, this storyline sure has a lot of glowering in it. If you're a fan of glowering, then today is your big day.
Jason insists that he'll only talk to Liz alone. Liz finally agrees. Then they all go back upstairs, and they forget to turn the light off when they leave.
Upstairs, Liz promises Jason that she won't press charges if he tells her what really happened to Paul. It turns out Paul didn't die when she hit him with the poker — he was just knocked unconscious. Jason kept her away from the "body" so that she would think that Paul was dead, and he buried an empty trunk.
Jason and Paul took off together, and Jason says that he last saw Paul in Hong Kong, ten years ago.
So that pretty much wraps it up. Liz agrees not to press charges, and the rest of the episode is about telling Jason to leave town.
Jason leaves Collinwood and walks over to the Old House, and that's the end of the episode. The blackmail storyline has been going on for four months, and that's how it ends — Jason leaves the house, and everybody forgets about it.
Pretty much an unforgiveable anti-climax, really. Does it help if I tell you that next week's vampire costume party includes a seance? It really does.
Tomorrow: The Bachelor.
Patterson and Liz step on each other's lines:
Patterson: There are some specific questions that I want to ask him —
Liz: I think I can —
Patterson: — about the trunk in the basement.
Liz: I think I can give you all the answers you want.
The deputy is played by Ed Sauter, in his only episode on the show. This is his only credit on IMDb.
They've been filming six days a week for a couple months, because of an actors' strike in April 1967. This is the last episode filmed on a Sunday; they go back to a regular five-day schedule from now on.

Wild, untimely speculation:
The blackmail story was ended abruptly in order to make way for more Barnabas story. I'm not sure this was the planned end. But of course, at any rate, they made the right decision.
"Starsky and Hutch" – damn, I'm dying here…
As much as i adore this show, your reports on every episode really adds to the enjoyment! Thank you for taking the time to bring us along with you. ❤

I guess proper etiquette dictates that one leave on their coat and tie to dig up a body in a basement.
Not a good sequence of episodes for Roger. He comes across as shrill and silly. Marching around the woods with a gun like Elmer Fudd didn't help either. As for Jason, wasn't there a single thing in his room he wanted to take? Money? ID? Toothbrush? Anything?
sstosite says:
He's probably had to get out of Dodge sharpish on more than one occasion, so he carries the essentials with him at all times.
Is no one going to mention the blooper and complete breaking of character that happens at 15:54? Louis Edmonds says, "Sheriff, I inSHI— SIST! Arrest that man!" Dana Elcar breaks into a smirk but luckily the camera movement places Dennis Patrick's head in front of his face. At this time Edmonds loses it, chokes back a laugh and turns toward Elcar like "OMG what did I just almost do" as he goes out of focus. Finally, Dennis breaks into a smile as we fade to black, and I'm thinking it's not due to the character's inner monologue. Luckily Joan and Anthony are out of the shot. I'm picturing everyone collapsing in a heap after the cut.

Fantastic Road Trip With A Stray Cat Found By A Kindhearted Human Who Loves To Travel, Now He Have A Little Buddy That Can Share This Journey With
Mogli began as an orphan on the streets of Morocco, but much less than one year later, the brave feline is giving new meaning to the phrase "adventure cat."
Credit: MARTIN KLAUKA
The tiny kitten has gone through over a dozen countries with her father, 32-year-old Martin Klauka of Rosenheim, Germany, primarily in the tank bag of his Honda XRV 750 Africa Twin motorcycle. And her father still has a long list of remote locations he wants to see with her.
Klauka had no intention of adopting a kitten. His desire for a more itinerant existence appeared incompatible with animal ownership. But, when on a bike ride across Morocco with some pals in March of last year, Mogli tracked him down and wouldn't let him go.
Klauka told The Dodo, "We were sitting on the streets of a tiny town when a little starving cat with a damaged tail approached us." "I called to her, and she immediately came over, sat in my arms, and fell asleep. Locals who had seen her before informed me that her mother was hit by a car and that she would most likely die in the streets since she was too young and weak to care for herself."
Klauka knew he couldn't abandon the small black and white cat when he noticed her was too tired to even lift her head. Despite the fact that some people criticized him for petting a nasty flea-ridden street cat, Klauka carried her about for the rest of the evening, brought her into his hotel room for at least one night of shelter from the weather.
He realized that adopting an animal, especially one so young and weak, would be a huge responsibility – once he wasn't sure he wanted. So he decided to make a decision in the morning.
"When I woke up, I was still unclear, but I had already fallen in love with that tiny rugrat, therefore I chose to put her on the motorcycle to see how she will handle it," Klauka said. "'It's obviously not the appropriate location for a cat,' I thought, but it was either that or death on the streets."
Though she was first scared of the bike, the kitty began to relax after only a half hour on the road. Klauka has discovered his travel buddy for the future.
Klauka quit his job and set out on a road journey of epic proportions in late August. He traveled down the Mediterranean Sea to Iran and then into the United Arab Emirates with Mogli by his side, passing through ten countries and arriving in Dubai in December.
Klauka and Mogli immediately established a rhythm on the trip. Mogli keeps safely tucked away in Klauka's backpack on the front of his bike while driving, occasionally poking her head out to take in the surroundings or meowing in displeasure if Klauka takes a rough dirt road instead of smooth tarmac.
Mogli has a specific routine of scouting for threats like automobiles and dogs and establishing a secure location whenever they arrive at a new campground, according to Klauka. Klauka has benefited from Mogli's strong observing abilities, especially when the small cat loses sight of the tent and Mogli is able to guide him back to their base.
Klauka explained, "Normally she remains around the campground when I leave to go shopping or check out the area, but when it's safe and there are no vehicles, dogs, or other cats about, she will join me." "Most of the time, though, I'm following her."
Taking a cat on a motorcycle for months has been surprising and full of new problems. Klauka has had to skip out on some less-than-cat-friendly activities and sites, dealt with difficult border crossings, and been booted out of more stores and hotels than he can remember. The couple has had to sleep in cold deserts when no one would let them inside because they couldn't find a place to stay.
Despite the numerous sacrifices Klauka has made in the name of his closest buddy, it has all been worthwhile.
Klauka said, "I'm satisfied with where I'm at in my life and happy to have taken her," and "happy to have gone through all of this."
Klauka is working in Dubai now that the first part of their journey is accomplished, with plans to continue via Pakistan and India this summer. While he and Mogli are currently having a well-deserved rest, there will undoubtedly be many more adventures to come.

Russia Will Not Establish a Base in Somaliland, but the UAE is There to Stay
1. Rumors about Russia's plans to establish a military base in the self-declared state of Somaliland have circulated since April 2018. The story was first reported by Somali outlets and then picked up by the British newspapers Sun and Express , pro-Russian outlets such as Southfront, and a number of Twitter users. Recently, the claim featured in Kenya's major newspaper Daily Nation. The reports state that Moscow will recognize the independence of Somaliland in exchange for permission to build an air-naval base in Zeila/Sayla on the border with Djibouti, which will host 1,500 Russian troops, warships, and submarines. A meeting between the foreign minister of Somaliland and a Russian diplomat is cited as evidence for the deal.
2. The story is almost certainly fake news, copied word-for-word from a Reddit post in the Global Powers role-playing thread, which was published 11 months ago. While the reddit post is still available , the Somali news outlets, which first spread the news, have since deleted their claims.
3. IMINT obtained via Sentinel-2 satellite reconfirms that the port of Zeila has not seen construction activity in the past year. If Russia indeed plans to build a naval base in the area, some newly built infrastructure such as naval peers, fences and asphalt layering or evidence of exploratory activity should be observable by now.
4. In the current political and economic climate, Russia is unwilling and unable to build overseas military installations from scratch. As the case of Syria (Tartus and Latakia) shows, Moscow generally prefers to obtain leases for Soviet-build airfields/ports and other existing installations, which already have a baseline infrastructure. As the RuN is undergoing a modernization and downsizing program, it is highly unrealistic that Russia will be able to establish and maintain a 1,500 men overseas presence, including surface and subsurface vessel, as the rumors suggest.
5. While Somaliland hosts a Soviet-built airstrip and harbor in the city of Berbera, the Parliament of Somaliland granted exclusive access to the UAE in May 2016. The 30-year concession authorizes the UAE to establish a 42 square kilometer base in Berbera, consisting of naval facilities and two parallel runways. The air-naval base is intended to support heavy aerial traffic and host various naval assets, including warships, to launch operations against the Iranian-backed Houthi militia in Yemen. The base is expected to become operational in June 2019.
6. As part of its maritime strategy, the UAE has also established military bases in Yemen's main ports (Aden and Mukalla), Eritrea, and temporarily on Socotra Island. Through the Horn of Africa deployments, Abu Dhabi aims to secure the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which represents a strategic choke point for oil transports to the European and North American markets. The Iranian-backed Houthis have conducted numerous seaborne attacks against commercial vessels transiting the strait, forcing Saudi Arabia to suspend oil shipments in the area.
Foreign military bases in the Horn of Africa via T-Intelligence
7. The UAE's presence in Somaliland is not limited to military interests. The Emirati company DP World currently holds a 51% stake in the Berbera port and plans to invest $442 million. Abu Dhabi is expected to revamp the local civilian airport and build roads to Ethiopia. Emirati soldiers will train Somaliland's coastguard to combat piracy and supply Somaliland with coastal surveillance systems, similar to capacity building programs in Somalia's autonomous region of Puntland.
8. Since Berbera is unavailable as a Somaliland base (and the Zeila deal fake news), Moscow is seeking other options to gain a foothold in the Horn of Africa region. Russia and Sudan are reportedly discussing the establishment of a naval supply center on the Red Sea coast. In fall 2018, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov furthermore announced plans to establish a logistics center on Eritrea's Red Sea coast. While Lavrov did not provide specifics, possible locations include the ports of Massawa and Assab, which offer strategic access to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The UAE already operates a air-naval installation in Assab.
9. The establishment of small logistics facilities in the Horn of Africa region could provide critical operational support for Russia's expanding military and commercial interests in Africa and allow Moscow to compete with its Western adversaries, while keeping the initial investment and footprint low. This approach fits within Russia's overall Africa strategy, which relies on politically deniable subversive operations spearheaded by irregular assets such as private military corporations (PMCs) and intelligence agencies.

Spartans future looks bright
JP. O'Hagan, Sports Editor|February 20, 2015
Spartan swimmer in meet at Veale earlier in season.
Andrew Hodowanec/Observer
When freshman Drew Hamilton pulled himself from the pool and dried off for the last time in Atlanta, Georgia last weekend, his list of accomplishments had grown monumentally.
Hamilton led the swimming and diving squads at the University Athletic Association Championship meet, where the Spartans finished sixth and seventh.
The host, Emory University, swept the meet, winning both the men's and women's team titles.
Despite the lower end finishes for the Spartans, the Case Western Reserve University squad still had a strong showing at the multi-day meet.
Hamilton had a meet for the ages, as he set four school records over a three-day period, placing him already near the top of the Spartan swimming history. Hamilton swam a 15:54.06 in the 1,650-yard freestyle that while good enough for fourth at the meet, was his third CWRU record of the weekend.
In addition to the 1,650 free record, Hamilton set records in the 500 free, with a time of 4:28.98, the 400 individual medley (IM) and the 1,000 free. The showing earned Hamilton received one of the highest honors at the UAA conference level, the UAA Rookie of the Year Award.
However, Hamilton and the Spartans were not done, as Aaron Tam and Oliver Hudgins made their way to the podium with a school record for Hudgins in the 200 backstroke at a time of 1:51.28 and for Tam the 200 butterfly in the 1:51.56.
For the women, freshman Mary Katherine Miller broke two records herself, both in the IM. Miller broke last-year-graduate Sara Tillie's CWRU records in both the 200 IM and 400 IM races at the UAA meet. Miller swam a 4:33.51 in the 400-meter race, while touching the wall at the 2:07.31 mark in the 200 meter .
The women also saw strong finishes from the 200-relay team, comprised of freshmen Jennifer Eurich, Ellie Wilson and Inez Moore, along with junior Rebecca Pakradooni, finishing at seventh out of many relay teams from each team. Moore, Parkadooni and Wilson were aided by freshman Cassandra Laios, as they again made the podium at the seventh spot.
While the Spartans were unable to climb into the upper levels of the UAA during the meet, the young talent of Miller and Hamilton—as well as many of their classmates—shows the great potential the CWRU swimming and diving program has in the coming years.
In the meantime, most of the Spartans have finished their season, but select Spartans will travel to Chicago this weekend to compete in the Midwest Invitational on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 20 and Feb. 21. The action kicks off at 6 p.m. Central Time.

Golden State Warriors vs. Phoenix Suns News and Notes
The Warriors (18-2) and Suns (17-3) boast the league's two best records and hook up for the first of three meetings between the pair over the next month.
Listed as two-point favorites, Phoenix hosts Golden State riding a remarkable 16-game winning streak – one off the franchise record of 17 set in 2006-07, and the NBA's longest since the 2019 Milwaukee Bucks won 18 straight.
Half of the Suns' victories have come on the road during their streak, but perhaps the most impressive part has been their performance on both ends of the floor. Led by floor general Chris Paul, Phoenix ranks fourth in points per game (112.6) and eighth in points allowed (105.0). Only three teams sit in the top 10 of both of those categories – the others being the Utah Jazz and the Warriors.
It is rare indeed to see Stephen Curry's gang coming in as underdogs, particularly because of how well they've played of late. Golden State holds the league's best record, is riding their own seven-game winning streak, and is first in net rating (13.6). They have the best player on the floor in Curry, who's tied for first in the league in scoring at 28.6 PPG, and they've posted a 6-2 mark against the spread on the road while the Suns are playing just .500 ball at home against the number. It's not too often you'll find the league's best team in a value situation, but that is exactly what we have tonight. The Warriors' moneyline of +112 and -108 on the spread is far too enticing to pass up, and our model loves them tonight as a five-star play.
Our model is not as high on the game's total of 222 but still leans towards the over in the hopes that both sides slip a little defensively and the contest turns into an offensive shootout.
Lineup Note: Warriors forward Draymond Green, who suffered a back injury in Sunday's contest against the Clippers, is expected to play.

The Longines brand has released this watch, which inspires with its wonderful and affordable example of classic sports watches. In this review, let's talk about the Longines Telemeter chronograph and Tachymeter Chronograph watches. What distinguishes them from other wrist watches? To a large extent this dial.
Besides the set, do these parts look familiar? Must. Telemeter and Tachymeter Chronograph cases are slightly modified versions of the Longines Column Wheel Chronograph watch. They were 40 mm wide, and the new models – 41 mm wide, made of stainless steel and containing the same automatic mechanism of the L688 caliber with a column wheel, also the new watch has a power reserve of 54 hours. The form of the models is almost identical.
It should be noted that these watches Longines Telemeter Chronograph and Tachymeter Chronograph are expensive. Brand Longines uses a set of varnishes that give the watch a very good look, with its bright colors and high contrast.
The style of the shooter and the antique style of the toolbox still look cool. While the time, date and chronograph functions are quite useful, the tachometer and telemetry functions are not very useful these days. Let's call these watches the nostalgic pleasure of collectors.
Sapphire crystal protects the dial of the men's watch Longines Telemeter Chronograph and Tachymeter Chronograph from bumps and scratches, and it also has a double-sided anti-reflective coating. Water resistance of Swiss watches is 30 meters.
The main dial of Longines Telemeter and Tachymeter has black marks in the form of Arabic numerals. The difference with watches is that the Longines Telemeter Chronograph has a telemetry scale on the flange, and a tachymeter in the middle of the main dial, these two scales are red. As for the Longines Tachymeter Chronograph, there are two tachymeter scales around the main dial: blue for measuring the speed at a distance of 1000 meters and red for 100 meters. The date window of both models is between 4 and 5-hour markers.
The tachometer in this clock is used to measure the speed of the object, it is assumed that you can measure the specified distances. Again, the function has very limited application. But wait, if you find these functions useful, then please keep the tachometer and telemetry next to you all the time. In the appendix to the Longines Telemeter Chronograph and Tachymeter Chronograph watches there is a beautiful black alligator strap. In general, these rather attractive antique watches will be sold at a price of $3,250.


Many people in Air Park Estates Shingle Springs California opt to hire an accident attorney after they've been involved in a car crash that results in injury and financial losses.
Technically, you can file a personal injury claim versus an insurance provider on your own. Some people pick this path when they've suffered only moderate injuries and have the time to investigate the legal claims process themselves. Likewise, skipping an attorney will conserve you some loan in legal costs.
Nevertheless, an accident lawyer– specifically an accident attorney– can help you take on big car insurance provider and their group of lawyers. Your attorney already understands the injury laws and procedural rules and can efficiently handle all the legwork for you. She or he will function as your supporter throughout the entire case.
Cost of medical expenses (and any other restorative procedures) you've incurred.
Normally speaking, a long-term injury is one that lasts for around a year or longer, while an irreversible injury is one that disables you for life. These kinds of personal injuries seriously impact your capability to stay and become utilized– not to mention the quality of your life.
Showing long-lasting and permanently disabling injuries can be tricky service, and your accident attorney most likely will consult with each medical professional you have actually seen. He or she even may ask for the existence of your medical professionals during any legal procedures.
When an insurer contests its policyholder's liability for the car crash, the company is basically stating that the policyholder is not at fault (or is at least claiming you don't have adequate proof of fault) and, therefore, the insurer is not responsible for spending for your damages.
An accident attorney in Air Park Estates Shingle Springs CA will help you provide this proof and show that the other party was undoubtedly at fault.
Refusal to pay (which can but doesn't necessarily come from a challenged liability) or refusal to pay a reasonable quantity is when an insurance provider outright will not make a fair settlement deal– or any offer at all.
Because of possible circumstances such as statutes of limitations (which can differ by state), it is very important to employ an injury attorney and get the claims procedure going as rapidly as possible; however, you don't want to work with the very first lawyer for whom you see a billboard on the highway.
Just as there are various doctors who concentrate on various locations of medication, there is a vast array of attorneys from which to choose.
As you select your accident legal representative, make certain she or he concentrates on accident mishaps.
Often, evaluating your comfort level can prevent you from hiring a personal injury attorney who isn't well fit for your case; other times, it might persuade you it's time to change course with a new lawyer.
Just keep in mind, you suffered accident near Air Park Estates Shingle Springs and financial loss due to an auto accident you believe another person caused. Use these pointers– and trust your gut– as you look for the ideal accident lawyer.

Fifty Years Honouring Canadians
The Order of Canada, 1967–2017
ByChristopher McCreery
This fully illustrated history traces the Order of Canada from its establishment in 1967 to its place today as a national honour.
Over the past fifty years more than six thousand Canadians have been appointed to the Order of Canada. Those who embody the motto of the Order through their efforts to "Desire a better country," continue to be recognized by the Crown and their fellow Canadians with the familiar white snowflake insignia. This illustrated history traces the origins of the Order, from the debate surrounding Canadians accepting peerages and knighthoods that took place during the First World War, through to Vincent Massey and Lester Pearson's great desire to see their fellow citizens recognized with a truly Canadian honour. Details about the design of the insignia, investitures, and prominent members of the Order of Canada are also included. Rich with illustrations and historical vignettes, this book provides an easily accessible window into the fascinating history of our pre-eminent national honour.

One Psychedelic Experience May Lessen Trauma of Racial Injustice
FeaturedNeurosciencePsychology
Summary: A single dose of psychedelic treatments can help alleviate symptoms of depression, stress, and trauma in those who have experienced racial injustice.
Source: Ohio State University
A single positive experience on a psychedelic drug may help reduce stress, depression and anxiety symptoms in Black, Indigenous and people of color whose encounters with racism have had lasting harm, a new study suggests.
The participants in the retrospective study reported that their trauma-related symptoms linked to racist acts were lowered in the 30 days after an experience with either psilocybin (Magic Mushrooms), LSD or MDMA (Ecstasy).
"Their experience with psychedelic drugs was so powerful that they could recall and report on changes in symptoms from racial trauma that they had experienced in their lives, and they remembered it having a significant reduction in their mental health problems afterward," said Alan Davis, co-lead author of the study and an assistant professor of social work at The Ohio State University.
Overall, the study also showed that the more intensely spiritual and insightful the psychedelic experience was, the more significant the recalled decreases in trauma-related symptoms were.
A growing body of research has suggested psychedelics have a place in therapy, especially when administered in a controlled setting. What previous mental health research has generally lacked, Davis noted, is a focus on people of color and on treatment that could specifically address the trauma of chronic exposure to racism.
Davis partnered with co-lead author Monnica Williams, Canada Research Chair in Mental Health Disparities at the University of Ottawa, to conduct the research.
"Currently, there are no empirically supported treatments specifically for racial trauma. This study shows that psychedelics can be an important avenue for healing," Williams said.
The study is published online in the journal Drugs: Education, Prevention and Policy.
The researchers recruited participants in the United States and Canada using Qualtrics survey research panels, assembling a sample of 313 people who reported they had taken a dose of a psychedelic drug in the past that they believed contributed to "relief from the challenging effects of racial discrimination." The sample comprised adults who identified as Black, Asian, Hispanic, Native American/Indigenous Canadian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander.
Once enrolled, participants completed questionnaires collecting information on their past experiences with racial trauma, psychedelic use and mental health symptoms, and were asked to recall a memorable psychedelic experience and its short-term and enduring effects. Those experiences had occurred as recently as a few months before the study and as long ago as at least 10 years earlier.
The discrimination they had encountered included unfair treatment by neighbors, teachers and bosses, false accusations of unethical behavior and physical violence. The most commonly reported issues involved feelings of severe anger about being subjected to a racist act and wanting to "tell someone off" for racist behavior, but saying nothing instead.
Researchers asked participants to recall the severity of symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress linked to exposure to racial injustice in the 30 days before and 30 days after the experience with psychedelic drugs. Considering the probability that being subjected to racism is a lifelong problem rather than a single event, the researchers also assessed symptoms characteristic of people suffering from discrimination-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
"Not everybody experiences every form of racial trauma, but certainly people of color are experiencing a lot of these different types of discrimination on a regular basis," said Davis, who also is an adjunct faculty member in the Johns Hopkins University Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research. "So in addition to depression and anxiety, we were asking whether participants had symptoms of race-based PTSD."
Participants were also asked to report on the intensity of three common kinds of experiences people have while under the influence of psychedelic drugs: a mystical, insightful or challenging experience. A mystical experience can feel like a spiritual connection to the divine, an insightful experience increases people's awareness and understanding about themselvess, and a challenging experience relates to emotional and physical reactions such as anxiety or difficulty breathing.
All participants recalled their anxiety, depression and stress symptoms after the memorable psychedelic experience were lower than they had been before the drug use. The magnitude of the positive effects of the psychedelics influenced their reduction in symptoms.
"What this analysis showed is that a more intense mystical experience and insightful experience, and a less intense challenging experience, is what was related to mental health benefits," Davis said.
Understanding the Risk of Dementia and Alcohol Consumption

The researchers noted in the paper that the study had limitations because the findings were based on participant recall and the entire sample of recruited research volunteers had reported benefits they associated with their psychedelic experience – meaning it cannot be assumed that psychedelics will help all people of color with racial trauma. Davis and Williams are working on proposals for clinical trials to further investigate the effects of psychedelics on mental health symptoms in specific populations, including Black, Indigenous and people of color.
"This was really the first step in exploring whether people of color are experiencing benefits of psychedelics and, in particular, looking at a relevant feature of their mental health, which is their experience of racial trauma," Davis said. "This study helps to start that conversation with this emerging treatment paradigm."

"People of color in North America report improvements in racial trauma and mental health symptoms following psychedelic experiences" by Alan Davis et al. Drugs: Education, Prevention and Policy
People of color in North America report improvements in racial trauma and mental health symptoms following psychedelic experiences
This study examined how psychedelics reduced symptoms of racial trauma among black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) subsequent to an experience of racism. A cross-sectional internet-based survey included questions about experiences with racism, mental health symptoms, and acute and enduring psychedelic effects. Changes in mental health were assessed by retrospective report of symptoms in the 30 days before and 30 days after an experience with psilocybin, Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), or 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). We recruited 313 diverse BIPOC in the US and Canada. Results revealed a significant (p < .001) and moderate (d = −.45) reduction in traumatic stress symptoms from before-to-after the psychedelic experience. Similarly, participants reported decreases in depression (p < .001; d = −.52), anxiety (p < .001; d = −.53), and stress (p < .001; d = −.32). There was also a significant relationship (Rc = 0.52, p < .001) between the dimension of acute psychedelic effects (mystical-type, insight, and challenging experiences) and decreases in a cluster of subsequent psychopathology (traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and stress), while controlling for the frequency of prior discrimination and the time since the psychedelic experience. BIPOC have been underrepresented in psychedelic studies. Psychedelics may decrease the negative impact of racial trauma. Future studies should examine the efficacy of psychedelic-assisted therapy for individuals with a history of race-based trauma.

Thomas Grinley says:
I see potential ethical issues here. Instead of addressing racism we simply treat the trauma it causes? I have problems with that.
