Artemis by Andy Weir
Narrator: Rosario Dawson
Published by Audible on November 14th 2017
Length: 8 hours and 59 minutes
Genres: Sci-fi
Source: Purchased
Amazon | B&N | Book Depository | Audible
Short Summary: Jazz Bashara is a full-time resident (and smuggler) of Artemis, the only city on the moon, but when she's offered a sum of money that would solve all of her problems she accepts, the only problem is this job is completely out of her comfort zone and causes her more problems than she had before.
Thoughts: This story wouldn't have been nearly as fantastic if it wasn't narrated by Rosario Dawson who transformed this oftentimes comical heist on the moon into an actual performance.
Verdict: I loved The Martian and I loved Artemis so Andy Weir can just keep those entertaining Sci-Fi stories coming.
Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine
Series: The Great Library #1
Published by Berkley on April 5th 2016
Source: Blogging for Books
Short Summary: In an alternate universe where books are illegal to the public and the Library of Alexandria is still standing, a group of individuals train to enter into the service of the Library and realize that corruption reigns supreme from within.
Thoughts: Caine has created a fascinating alternate universe with hints of steampunk and while there seemed to be a little too much going on at times it was a captivating story with a full cast of characters and ends with a cliffhanger that leaves you no option but to continue.
Verdict: An intriguing first installment that gets the mild info-dumping necessary with any fantasy world out of the way in hopeful anticipation of a solid follow-up in Paper and Fire.
Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant
Series: Rolling in the Deep #1
Published by Orbit on November 14th 2017
Source: the Publisher
Short Summary: Everyone was presumed dead after the Atargatis was lost at sea, but a new crew is being assembled to go back to the Mariana Trench to search for the existence of mermaids, this time presumably taking better precautions.
Thoughts: Grant was a bit excessive with her use of prose and her oftentimes exhaustive detailing of characters; however, her much apparent research into marine biology was incredibly informative and the gory horror was a definite thrill.
Verdict: A good one for campy horror fans and science nerds alike, but there's no denying this story is drowning in an unnecessary amount of pages.
The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert
Published by Flatiron Books on January 30th 2018
Short Summary: Alice and her mother have spent their lives on the road, trying to evade Alice's grandmother and the bad luck that shadows their every step, but when her mother is kidnapped and taken to the Hinterland (a supernatural world that her grandmother created in her fairy tales) Alice is forced to confront the fact that these fairy tales might be real.
Thoughts: The blend of dark fantasy/fairy tales in a contemporary world was so fascinating and Alice's character is incredibly likable; however, the mystery (and the story itself) unraveled a bit at the end and wasn't as coherent a closure as I would have liked.
Verdict: Interesting fairy tale world, solid opening, mediocre ending: still definitely worth a read.

Also by this author: Artemis
Apollo 13 meets Cast Away in this grippingly detailed, brilliantly ingenious man-vs-nature survival thriller, set on the surface of Mars.
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first men to walk on the surface of Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first man to die there.
It started with the dust storm that holed his suit and nearly killed him, and that forced his crew to leave him behind, sure he was already dead. Now he's stranded millions of miles from the nearest human being, with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive--and even if he could get word out, his food would be gone years before a rescue mission could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to get him first.
But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills--and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit--he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. But will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?
'I can't wait till I have grandchildren. When I was younger, I had to walk to the rim of a crater. Uphill! In an EVA suit! On Mars, ya little shit! Ya hear me? Mars!'
Mark Watney is a part of the six crew team sent to Mars on a 31 Sol (Martian day) mission. On Sol 6 a dust storm blows in which is so large that NASA immediately aborts the mission. In the process of getting back to the ship, Mark's suit is punctured by an antenna and the winds blow him far away from the rest of the crew. After being unable to find him and thinking him dead, the now five crew team get to the ship and head for home. Only problem is, Mark survived.
The story is told (for the most part) by detailed work logs as Mark survives day to day. Mark Watney is seriously the most inventive survivalist I've ever encountered in a story. I'm sure that's expected since he has to be smart to have been selected by NASA to go to Mars but this guy was constantly thinking up the craziest and most creative ways to stay alive. He definitely made an extremely unrealistic situation where survival is an impossiblility an actual possibility. But the best part about Mark? He was freaking hilarious.
'If ruining the only religious icon I have leaves me vulnerable to Martian vampires, I'll have to risk it.'
'After a search of everyone's personal items (hey, if they wanted privacy, they shouldn't have abandoned me on Mars with their stuff) I found my answer.'
'I'll spend the rest of the evening enjoying a potato and by "enjoying" I mean "hating so much I want to kill people."
Okay, I'm done. But seriously, for a book that contains the craziest survival story I've ever read I was quite surprised to be laughing as much as I was.
The science aspects of this novel are extremely detailed and even though several passages were unrecognizable as English to me it's clear that a vast amount of research was done to make things appear legit so I can appreciate that even if I didn't always understand it. I loved how at one point he kept continuously referencing 'Kilowatt-hours per sol' and realized how exhausting that was so changed their name to pirate ninjas and that was pretty much the best thing ever. A story bogged down with excessive technical detail can easily become tedious but between Mark's ongoing sense of humor and the ever-present seriousness of the situation he's in, the story was a consistent nail-biter.
Highly recommended for science geeks who love detailed technical jargon and survivalists because you're bound to learn a lesson or two from this genius.

"Brother of the Ring" «
Maybe We're Ragged and Funny
Mood: vegas lucky
Topic: "Brother of the Ring"
Boromir and Frodo have known each other for more than 30 years. On the first day they called each other "Brother." Boromir was raised on a farm in Iowa, and it was always his dream to someday live that life again. His beef cattle farm lies just beyond the Shire in Rivendell. Not all his dreams have been achieved however, for the Viking Horde has never been more than Pretender for the Throne of Super Bowl.
Boromir has always shared Frodo's belief in Fellowship, and many hours have been spent reflecting on the price paid by those who sought to keep the Ring from Sauran. Some years ago, Boromir and the fair Galadriel journeyed to Eriador to holiday among the galleries and to walk the river known as Seine. Boromir enjoyed the Louvre for sure, but the train that ran to the Coast was too tempting for a Man of Gondor.
Frodo's friend entered the American Cemetery at Normandy, which stands above the beaches that hosted the massive invasion. "I walked among the stones in all their simple elegance, and the first one that caught my eye was a boy from Iowa," so said Frodo's friend. How striking that Frodo and Boromir would speak of one the age of our fathers as a "boy." How metaphysical a thought that that life had ended in youth as perhaps he were a son. How humbling the concept that in a prior existence, Frodo and Boromir may have fallen on that very plain.
A few days after the fighting ceased on those beaches, a correspondent from Indiana named Ernie Pyle wrote a dispatch about what he had seen. He wrote that amongst the refuse that cluttered his path he found a small Bible, and inside there was the name of an American soldier. Pyle carried the Bible with him as he walked for a half-mile or so. Then he stopped and laid the Bible back down in the sand. He wrote these words, "I don't know why I picked it up, and I don't know why I put it down."
Frodo has yet to walk that beach, in this life, but he shall. He will find the stone of that boy from Iowa. Frodo doesn't know why he feels that placing a small Bible at that spot is so important, but it is.

Of all the creepy places you could live, wouldn't an old prison from the 1800's be at the top of the list? If you have no fear, or just love the old charm of a few cell blocks, then perhaps the former York County Jail in Alfred, Maine is just for you. It's for sale, and it's reasonably priced to boot.
According to WGME, the hard-to-miss old prison on Route 111 in Alfred has been standing as a reminder of days gone by. The prison was constructed in 1869, and once housed male and female inmates. A revolt amongst those inmates led York County to decide the building had served its purpose, and it was put up for sale. It's current owner, Michael Kaplan, purchased the property in 2001.
Kaplan has made small improvements over the years, but the prison still needs lots of work for whomever, or whatever, wants to call it home. Over the past several years, potential businesses have inquired about the property, including Dunkin Donuts, but nothing has ever panned out. Kaplan believes the old jail is a perfect home for a antiques shop, a photo gallery or a future craft brewery.
So how much is it? A reasonable $250,000 for 14,000 square feet of potential space. There's also 3 acres of surrounding land that come as part of the purchase price. And in case you thought the old cell blocks have been removed, think again. WGME captured a couple of different photos that show the property's interior.


The Basic pendant series is timeless design with a high light output, emitting a pleasant direct light without glare.
Basic is open at the top, whereby light illuminates the rings on the top, and thus adds an extra decorative element to the design.
Basic is the perfect choice for dining tables, counters etc., in both private and public applications.

Rumour says there's a goat living on the roof, but how can that be?
When Kid accompanies her parents to New York City for a six-month stint of dog-sitting and home-schooling, she sees what looks like a tiny white cloud on the top of their apartment building. Rumour says there's a goat living on the roof, but how can that be? As Kid soon discovers, a goat on the roof may be the least strange thing about her new home. Painfully shy and too afraid to talk to new people at first, Kid is happy to explore Manhattan, especially the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park, where she meets Will, who is also home-schooled and under the constant watchful eye of his grandmother.
As Kid and Will become friends, she learns that Will's parents died in the Twin Towers. Will can't look out windows, he is a practitioner of Spoonerism, and he is obsessed with the Ancient Egyptian Tomb of Perneb. When Kid learns that the goat will bring good luck to whoever sees it, suddenly it becomes very important to know whether the goat on the roof is real. So Kid and Will set out to learn the truth, even if it means confronting their own fears.
This book is suitable for readers over 12 years old.
A blind skateboarding writer, an old man who can't speak (and his wife), a smartly dressed non-hamster-owner, plus Kid and her parents, are all apparently sharing their Manhattan apartment building with a mountain goat. But in all the wonders and marvels of New York City, who has time to see this impossible goat? How did the goat even get there? And is the goat really capable of something a little like magic? In this tender and hilarious tale of a misplaced animal, a road trip, and a Broadway show, neighbours who were previously strangers may find the goat is just what they needed …

Indians may postpone travel plans due to spread of new strain of virus and possible flight bans | Instant News
December 27, 2020 NewsDesk
Many people may postpone their international travel plans due to concerns about the spread of a new variant of the coronavirus in some countries and the possibility of flight bans by countries like Dubai, France and Singapore, a report revealed. investigation. The survey, based on more than 15,000 responses from more than 10,000 people from 204 cities and conducted by the online platform LocalCircles, also found that up to 42% of respondents had no travel plan for travel. interiors. After the lockdown, the government has yet to allow the regular operation of international flights, but operates transport bubbles with 23 countries, including the UK through the Vande Bharat mission. However, India has imposed a temporary delay on flights to and from the UK from December 23 to December 31 following the detection of the new variant of the virus in the UK. LocalCircles has conducted an investigation to understand the impact of this new strain of coronavirus on Indian international travel plans over the next three months. The platform observed an increase in the number of messages from citizens suggesting that many could withhold their travel plans to any international country due to the fear and anxiety of being infected with this new strain as well as the possibility of flight bans from other air hubs such as Dubai, Singapore, Paris, etc. have increased, LocalCirles said in a statement. The survey also attempted to understand people's plans to undertake domestic travel over the next three months, as with the reduction in the number of cases and fatigue from COVID, many more have started traveling since October, did he declare. Consumers were asked about their situation with regard to international travel over the next three months, according to the online platform. "The local circle received 7,820 responses, of which up to 71% of consumers said they did not intend to take an international trip in the next 3 months. while 2 percent said they had reservations and would likely travel, and 2 percent said they had reservations but could cancel depending on the COVID situation, "he said. In addition, up to 16% said they had plans but could not travel due to COVID, while 7% said they could travel depending on the coronavirus situation. "Overall consumer comments suggest that the new strain of virus that was recently detected in the UK and associated flight bans, with the majority planning international travel within the next 3 months, should hold back," the investigation. When only consumers planning to travel internationally were surveyed – while keeping the 71 percent of consumers who did not intend to undertake international travel in the next three months out of reach, it seems that of the 100 percent of consumers who were planning to travel abroad, 59 percent who had "plans but no reservations" are unlikely to travel, and 7 percent who had reservations will cancel those reservations and will not travel, according to the survey. Eight percent of people who have already booked international travel are likely to travel and an additional 26% who do not have a reservation will likely plan their international trip within the next three months depending on how the COVID situation evolves, he said. he declares. Overall, the survey indicates that the mutant coronavirus and the associated flight bans led 66% of consumers to plan international travel in the next 3 months to hold back. However, if India is successful in containing the spread of Covid and the new viral mutations, domestic travel is likely to be plentiful. And if that happens, it seems likely that many could cancel their trip to Switzerland in favor of Dalhousie or Kashmir. (This story was posted from a wireline agency with no text changes.

Corona virus pandemic: Germany warns against traveling to ski areas in Austria, Switzerland, Italy – travel | Instant News
October 23, 2020 NewsDesk
Germany has issued travel warnings for popular ski areas in Austria, Italy and Switzerland, struggling to contain the spread of the virus corona virus as the rate of new infections rose above 10,000 a day for the first time. While the infection rates in Germany are lower than in much of Europe, they are steadily increasing, with a daily increase of 11,287 cases bringing the total to 392,049. The German death toll stood at 9,905. "The situation has become very serious overall," Lothar Wieler, head of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) for infectious diseases, said.
"We still have a chance to slow the spread of the pandemic," he said. But he said people should stick to the rules and that Germany must prepare for an uncontrolled spread of the virus. On Wednesday, German Health Minister Jens Spahn became the latest leading politician to test positive for the virus. His spokesman said he had cold symptoms but had no fever. Government sources said he was fit for work. Berlin issued new travel warnings for Switzerland, Ireland, Poland, much of Austria and parts of Italy including the popular South Tyrol ski area.
The UK, with the exception of the Channel Islands, Isle of Man and overseas territories, is also seen as a high risk region. Under the warning, which takes effect from Saturday, travelers returning to Germany must be quarantined for 10 days. Quarantine can be lifted early, if tests carried out after five days turn out to be negative. The surge in Germany also prompted the Danish government to warn its citizens against traveling to and from Germany, except for the border state of Schleswig Holstein.
Germany's move could have a significant impact on ski seasons in the Alpine countries. Especially Austria, which reported a record 2,435 new daily infections on Thursday, is a popular destination for Germans. Swiss Tourism spokesman Markus Berger said the news from Germany was definitely not good. The industry hopes that the situation will improve in the next month or two. "We assume that winter can continue," he said. However, there is positive news for Spain's Canary Islands as the RKI removed them from its risk list, raising hopes for German tourists over Christmas and New Year.

Faces meet fashion in a selection of New Yorkers' masks in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic – fashions and trends | Instant News
New Yorkers are increasingly embracing the use of masks to slow its spread corona virus since the pandemic started earlier this year. With no end in sight, many have gone beyond standard surgical masks and are choosing to express themselves with more fashionable colors, patterns, flags and messages. Children arrive on the first day of school wearing masks with hearts, books, watermelons and musical notes written on them. A school assistant has a line of crayons on her mask, a friendly design for nervous kindergarten kids. On Madison Avenue, a woman wearing a matching designer mask and scarf walks quickly past an upscale clothing store. And behind it, there is another mask with a skull.
In Harlem, Hana Teferi walked out of a shop wearing a gold, black and silver Ethiopian mask which she wore in honor of her Ethiopian family. And actor Fredric Michaels wears a kente mask that reflects his African heritage. Camouflage masks are commonly used. An outdoor man dressed in camouflage from head to toe in a mask to match. A construction worker chooses camouflage, and two of her friends, Samantha Fernandez and Unique Corella, wear matching blue camouflage masks. Senior citizen Doris Shapiro wears an orange sequined mask and hat. The bright colors match her view: "I want to dance. I want to have fun, "he said.
Kai Waithe, in a fuchsia mask and purple hair extensions posing for a portrait: "I think being a creative person, through music and speech, and living in NYC has helped me with my fashion sense. I only wear what I feel, "he said. Retired Gil Gainey, who worked for many years in the human resources department at the hospital, wearing a paisley mask: "I'm very health conscious," he said. We don't know when this will go away, so we'd better be fashionable. "Teacher Amanda Clarke rushes to Brooklyn high school with a message on her mask, and on the minds of many people:" CHOOSE! "

How COVID-19 affects the nervous system | Instant News
June 1, 2020 NewsDesk
A new paper published in the journal JAMA Neurology in May 2020 discussed the presentation and complications of COVID-19 with respect to the nervous system.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused hundreds of thousands of cases of severe pneumonia and respiratory disorders, in 188 countries and regions in the world. The causative agent, SARS-CoV-2, is a new coronavirus, with well-recognized lung complications. However, evidence is increasing that the virus also affects other organs, such as the nervous system and heart.
The Coronaviruses: A Glimpse
That corona virus is a group of large spread RNA viruses that infect animals and humans. Human infections are known to be caused by 7 coronaviruses, namely human coronavirus (HCoV) –229E, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-OC43, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-1, and SARS-CoV-2.
Among these, the last three are known to cause severe human disease. While HCoV is more associated with respiratory manifestations, three of them are known to infect neurons: HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, and SARS-CoV-1.
Current research aims to contribute to the knowledge of the SARS-CoV-2 neurotropism, as well as post-infectious neurological complications. This virus infects humans through ACE2 receptors in various tissues, including airway epithelium, kidney cells, small intestine, proper lung tissue, and endothelial cells.
Because endothelium is found in blood vessels throughout the body, this offers a potential route for CoV to be localized in the brain. In addition, a recent report shows that ACE2 is also found in brain neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes, especially in areas such as substantia nigra, ventricles, middle temporal gyrus, and olfactory bulb.
Interestingly, ACE2 in neuron tissue is expressed not only on the surface but also in the cytoplasm. This finding could imply that SARS-CoV-2 can infect neuronal and glial cells in all parts of the central nervous system.
How does neuroinvasion occur with SARS-CoV-2?
Current knowledge indicates the possibility of nerve cell virus invasion by several mechanisms. These include the transfer of viruses across synapses of infected cells, entering the brain through the olfactory nerve, infection of endothelial blood vessels, and migration of infected white blood cells across the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
The corona virus has been shown to spread back along the nerves from the edge of the peripheral nerves, across synapses, and thus into the brain, in several small animal studies. This is facilitated by a pathway for endocytosis or exocytosis between motor cortex neurons, and other secretory vesicular pathways between neurons and satellite cells.
Axonal transport occurs rapidly using axonal microtubules, which allow the virus to reach the body of neuron cells with a retrograde version of this mechanism.
The possibility of spreading the olfactory route is marked by the occurrence of isolated anosmia and age. In such cases, the virus can pass through the latticed plate to enter the central nervous system (CNS) of the nose. However, more recent unpublished research shows that olfactory neurons lack ACE2, whereas cells in the olfactory epithelium do so. This could mean that a viral injury to the olfactory epithelium, and not the olfactory neuron, is responsible for anosmia, but further studies will be needed to confirm this.
Cross the BBB
This virus can also pass through the BBB through two separate mechanisms. In the first case, infected vascular endothelial cells can move the virus across blood vessels to neurons. Once there, the virus can start to bud and infect more cells.
The second mechanism is through infected white blood cells that pass through the BBB – a mechanism called Trojan horse, which is famous for its role in HIV. Inflamed BBB allows the entry of immune cells and cytokines, and even, possibly, viral particles into the brain. T-lymphocytes, however, do not allow viruses to replicate even though they can be infected.
Neurological features of COVID-19
From limited data on neurological manifestations related to COVID-19, it is clear that headaches, anosmia, and age are among the most common symptoms. However, other findings include stroke and an abnormal state of consciousness.
While headaches occur in up to one third of confirmed cases, anosmia or age shows a much more varied prevalence. In Italy, about one fifth of cases show this symptom, while almost 90% of patients in Germany have such symptoms.
The researchers said, "Given the reports of anosmia that appear as early symptoms of COVID-19, specific testing for anosmia can offer the potential for early detection of COVID-19 infection."
Impaired consciousness can occur in up to 37% of patients, due to various mechanisms such as infection and direct brain injury, metabolic-toxic encephalopathy, and demyelinating disease. Encephalitis has not been documented as a result of COVID-19.
Toxic-metabolic encephalopathy can occur due to a number of disorders of metabolic and endocrine function. These include electrolyte and mineral imbalances, kidney disorders, and cytokine storms, hypo or hyperglycemia, and liver dysfunction. Patients who are elderly, ill, or already have symptoms of dementia, or are malnourished, are at higher risk for this condition.
Less common neurological complications include Guillain-Barre syndrome, which is a post-viral acute inflammatory demyelinating disease, and cerebrovascular events, including stroke.
Is COVID-19 Therapy Related to Neurological Manifestations?
Nowadays, many different drugs are used to treat this condition.
Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, for example, can cause psychosis, peripheral neuropathy, and the latter can worsen the symptoms of myasthenia gravis. Tocilizumab, an IL-6 blocker, is intended to reduce excessive cytokine release that occurs in severe inflammation. Although admission to CNS is limited, it can sometimes cause headaches and dizziness.
Precautions for COVID-19 Patients with Neurological Conditions
If a patient already has a neurological condition that requires special treatment, they tend to be at higher risk for COVID-19, due to existing lung, heart, or liver conditions, having kidney disease (dialysis), if they are overweight, or at immunosuppressive drugs. Also, it is likely that they may be in nursing homes, where many countries have reported severe outbreaks.
This study concludes: "Doctors must continue to monitor patients closely for neurological diseases. Early detection of neurological deficits can lead to improved clinical outcomes and better treatment algorithms. "

California will Reveal Guidelines that Allow Some Businesses to Reopen – NBC Los Angeles | Instant News
May 7, 2020 NewsDesk
Business owners across California are anxiously awaiting Thursday's new guidelines from Governor Gavin Newsom, which will outline broad changes to home stay orders across the state that close most retail stores to slow the spread of the corona virus.
Newsom is expected to allow businesses such as clothing stores, flower shops, bookstores and sporting goods stores to open their doors for the first time in almost two months, with some restrictions. The governor said the order would not cover other close contact businesses, such as eating in restaurants and hair salons. However, he also said some local governments could accept variants.
Guidelines for Reopening the White House Leave Room for Interpretation
For countries considering raising quarantine measures, official guidelines recommend a COVID-19 trajectory down in two weeks or a downward trajectory of a positive test as a percentage of the total test.
As shown below, when you compare the number of new cases yesterday with those from two weeks ago, the numbers are often lower, simply because the numbers fluctuate. Criteria has been criticized by some for being unclear, creating opportunities for any governor to argue that the numbers are good enough to start reopening.
Since home stay orders were issued on March 19, more than 4 million people have been removed from work in the most populous state.
The guidelines are part of Newsom's four-step plan to reopen the country. Thursday will be phase two. The next phase, which can reopen salons, gymnasiums, cinemas and private church services, can be in a few months. Phase four will end all barriers and allow large meetings at concerts and sporting events.
The Newsom administration is tracking six indicators to determine when to reduce restrictions. They include the ability of the state to test people for COVID-19 and track who might be exposed to it and the capacity of hospitals to deal with potential spikes in new cases.
So far, Newsom said the country was on track to fulfill its objectives.
How Long Until Coronavirus Will Cause Use Of Top Hospitals Across The Country
This interactive chart uses the data model provided by Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation to predict how coronavirus will affect health care resources in various countries. The maximum use of hospital beds in some states, such as New York, has passed while in others stay a few more weeks. Most states have enough public hospitals and ICU beds to meet demand, according to additional data from The Associated Press.
Newsom's orders have been universally accepted today.
But three northern California states with few confirmed COVID-19 cases have allowed businesses to reopen. Tiny Modoc County allowed the only cinema to open its doors. Yuba and Sutter districts allowed in-store shopping and restarted fitness centers and fitness studios, salons, spas and tattoo rooms, libraries and playgrounds.
General Manager of Yuba Sutter Mall Natasha Shelton said about 18 of about 50 stores were open Wednesday and an estimated 200 people were inside during the day. Mall has reduced hours to allow for additional overnight cleaning. Tables in the food court are 6 feet apart and food trays are prohibited.
Newsom has cracked down on rogue counties before, ordering the temporary closure of all beaches in Orange County after several local governments refused to close it or impose public health restrictions. He lifted several orders after negotiating with the local government.
In Los Angeles, regional official outlining a plan that allows some reopening starting Friday, provided safety precautions are taken. Golfers can find the link again, and the trail will open with regional employees ready to remind pedestrians of the rules of social distance, said Chair of the Board of Trustees Kathryn Barger.
Some retailers in Los Angeles County can reopen with only roadside pickups – including florists and stores that sell toys, books, clothing, sporting goods and music. The district, the largest state with 10 million inhabitants, has caused more than half more than 2,500 deaths from the California virus.
California is no. 1 destination for travelers in the United States and coronavirus has ill status. Angie Crouch reports on NBC4 News at 5 pm on Wednesday, May 6, 2020.
For most people, new coronaviruses cause mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that go away in two to three weeks. For some people, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, can cause more severe illnesses, including pneumonia and death.

Cowboys, Armageddon, and the Truth: How a Gay Child was Saved from Religion by Scott Terry
Just by the title I expected this book to be an eye-opener and I certainly wasn't disappointed!
This is not a story for the faint hearted, it is gut wrenchingly frank and tells of a childhood that no child should have to suffer. Yet, it is written from the author's own harrowing experiences, and this book tells of his childhood under the tyrannical reign of his stepmother "Fluffy."
Scott and his older sister Sissy's father is so besotted with his second wife that he turns a blind eye to the inhumane treatment of his children, and so they are afraid to put a foot wrong and suffered terrible abuse whilst growing up.
Rejected and unloved, he turned to religion for his salvation, and as a Jehovah's Witness he was continually reminded that Armageddon was just around the corner, not allowed to celebrate many of the festivals his friends did and prayed daily for help and understanding as his sexuality bloomed.
This is a compelling read. The content is very sad, and yet the author tells the story of his childhood calmly, and without bitterness. His sexual preferences and coming to terms with them are graphically described in this no holds barred audiobook and he also offers an insight into the world of the Jehovah's Witness, which those of us who are not one, do not realise.
About the Author: In 2007, Scott Terry sent an excerpt from his yet-to-be published book, Cowboys, Armageddon, and The Truth, to the San Francisco Chronicle. An hour later, he received a freelance contract and a request for more, leading to many stories for the paper.
In his book, Terry has produced a gritty and poignant autobiography of a young boy escaping an abusive and fanatical childhood. Scott Terry was raised as a devout Jehovah's Witness, and spent his childhood praying for Armageddon to come and asking God to heal him of his homosexual thoughts. By adulthood, he had escaped the Witness religion and no longer believed in an upcoming apocalypse. Indeed, as a gay man and a real cowboy, he was riding bulls in the rodeo, abandoning all faith in religion.
Cowboys, Armageddon, and The Truth was named one of the Top 20 Must Read Books of 2013 by Advocate Magazine. It was named one of the best LGBT releases of 2012 by Out In Print and Band of Thebes book lists, and was a Bronze Medal winner in the Living Now Book awards, a finalist in the Next Generation Book Awards, and a finalist in the Rainbow Book Awards. Scott's writing has been featured in the Huffington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Alternet Magazine, among others.

Humans of Data 6
By Laura Molloy
"I'm passionate about the transfer we're seeing in research: moving from a cottage industry to a place where knowledge is increasingly coming through trusted processes.Research data will be an output that can be used by lots of people.The problem we have in research is that lots of people can't use the data. If we can create a trusted environment we can make a big difference to the way data is used.
Look, I'm old. I'm 62, and yet I'm passionate and I don't want to give this up whilst this change is happening. I want to help get this set up for the next phase. We can make it so that research data is much more available. Our mission is to make research data more available for researchers, research institutions, the nation, and the global community. This means that every day you jump from astronomy to history to social sciences, and you have to think about why it's valuable to different sorts of people. If you think about this problem in the right way, yes, you have to have technical support for this, but the heart of this is that you have to have trust. That's how you get things to happen. So I measure data in trust rather than petabytes. I measure data in people rather than petabytes."

Alyssa & Garrett said "I do" on a gorgeous August afternoon in Bismarck. It was one of those perfect days, a few clouds, not too hot, and no wind! This wedding will forever have a place in my heart. 4 days prior, our little girl Bristol made a 3 week early arrival! What was suppose to be my last wedding before baby ended up being my first wedding after baby! Yes, I photographed a wedding 4 short days after giving birth and 1 day after leaving the hospital. Alyssa was so amazing the entire time. I remember this fear coming over me when the doctors said I needed to be induced. There was actually a point when I asked if we could do it the following week because I needed to photograph this wedding. On Monday afternoon I told Alyssa what was going on, I anticipated a bridezilla moment but instead received congratulations and well wishes. To this day, I am not entirely sure how I managed to pull it all off, I know God was with all of us and I am incredibly thankful for this couple and their patience with me. Thank you for choosing me to be a part of your day, allowing my daughter to attend her first wedding, and having a fun bridal party!
Headpiece or Veil: The veil was made from the brides mom's.


1 BUT UNDERSTAND this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear].
I believe this has already been set in motion and if the body of Christ fails in counter attacking with the Word of God and overwhelming the household with the truth, all will be lost! And that's just the point that none shall be lost, we cannot change what God has decreed in the book of Revelations. It will happen just as it was revealed to the Apostle John. Our victory lies in us bringing the multitude of unbelievers to the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The inevitable is coming and we must do our best to make sure that none shall be lost.
I will raise up shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or dismayed, nor will any go missing, declares the LORD.
This was to fulfill the word He had spoken: "I have not lost one of those You have given Me.


WOW… Thanks guys, for coming out to the Maui Stamper's Craft Fair. It was Fabulous!! We really had a good time. I hope you did too.
So… head over to my online store if you wanna take advantage of this!!
Continuing on the week of sneak peeks… I wanted to show you a couple of the options for leaving notes… Any kind of note!!
Memo cubes!! The 3×3 memo pads are great for reminders, shipping lists… smiley faces in lunch boxes. The 1.5x 1.5 post-it cube is perfect for notes that need to stick and hold a place!! Both are gonna be at the Maui Stampers Shopping Extravaganza.
These second set of note cards are also perfect for sending a quick note… I digitally designed these cards and had them professionally printed on a high quality cardstock. They are the quick, perfect "thank you" or "thinking of you". These sets are 3.5×5 and come with 5 cards in a box.
They are packaged ready to give as a gift and are ready to brighten someone's day. See you Sunday!!
But, the trouble with the gift card, while perhaps being the perfect gift, is that it is… boring. WELL. Not on my watch. No way. Give your gift card in style… with these super cool, super cute gift card holders.
Aren't they cute? The Santa card lifts to reveal a place to tuck a gift card inside. The reindeer is a pull-out. These are great items to have on hand for those last minute gifts that you need wrapped in a jiffy. Stop by the Maui Stampers Craft Fair on Sunday (9:00-2:00) 190 W. Kamehameha Ave. You will be able to get a handfull of these for all your gifts (cards).
Back by popular demand, the 2013 easel calender will be available at the Maui Stampers Craft Fair this Sunday!! They will be available for $15.
So. Here is installment number 2. These little red gems are the fancy favor box. Inside are 4 3×3 note cards. (Of course, I didn't think of taking pictures until after they were wrapped up.) There is a variety… one says smile, celebrate, friend, and thanks. The envelopes are handmade out of two-sided designer series paper. So, the inside of the envelope is just as cute as the outside! They are all wrapped up ready to be given a loving home… and stand eager to fulfill their role as a bit of bright encouragement for someone's day. But, if you like these… you better hurry to the Maui Stamper's Craft Fair. (Sunday, November 18…9-2) I don't have very many of these and at $5/each they are gonna go fast!!
(Well… it's morning for me…) and Happy Veteran's Day. I wanted to take pause and just mention how deeply thankful I am for the veterans that serve our country. I am humbled by their sacrifice and by how little I reflect on the importance of it. Thank you.
This set of items uses some of my favorite things…. the blossom punch, the beautiful (and retired) Sale-A-Bration paper from last year… the elegant lines embossing folder… I have a set of 5 cards that comes boxed with a post-it note and pen. They all fit in a cute canvas bag. And then a tablet with a pen. These coordinate together for your gift-giving pleasure.
Stay tuned… for another sneak peek. And I will see you Sunday!!
Hello!! Glad you are joining me today!! I'm part of the RemARKable Blog Tour… and this is your next stop!!
Looking at the sled and wreath, I knew… I needed to get out the color pencils. I used the SU watercolor pencils (item #101879; 24 pencil sfor $19.95). These are my go-to coloring pencil. Even without using water. I love them cause they are, how shall we say, creamy?? It's easy to build color and add depth with the pencils. The wreath used ALL of the greens included in the set. I love coloring… The image is actually stamped with black ink on white paper, (which I wanted to keep the pencil colors true) but the white was way too stark. So, I added layers of ink with the sponge daubers (crumb cake and soft suede).


Ever found yourself lusting over the inspirational look of the Mac operating system? Here are some applications you can download for free to give your PC an Apple-inspired makeover.
Mac envy is a common ailment that can afflict long-time Windows users. While the easiest fix is for sufferers is to go out and buy a PowerBook or iMac, work and educational environments often force people back into a Windows world. Even if you are content with the Microsoft look and feel, it's hard not to agree that Mac OS X has an elegant user interface, with elements such as the genie effect for minimising windows, the animated dock at the bottom for shortcuts, and glass-like onscreen widgets for displaying mini information panels. If you want to give PC a Mac makeover, here are some applications available for download that mimic Apple's cool effects.
To begin with, download WindowsBlinds and apply this theme to get your desktop looking more like Mac OS X Tiger. Next, replace your Start menu and taskbar with either the ObjectDock or MobyDock to get that nice rollover expansion effect for icons and shortcuts similar to the dock on the bottom of a Mac.
For Dashboard-style widgets, Konfabulator is your best bet; once installed, pressing F8 will grey out your screen and instantly display customisable mini-applications such as local traffic Web cams, to do lists and stock quotes. Thousands of mini-apps are available for download at Konfabulator's Widget Gallery. A handy Aussie built widget is IceTV, an interactive television guide with listings for free-to-air channels.
Windows users will be familiar with the RSI-inducing Alt+Tab method used to switch between running applications: Mac users, on the other hand, have access to a nifty feature called Exposé, whereby pressing a function key neatly arranges previews of all windows currently open on the screen. WinPlosion is the program you need to emulate this on a PC.
Before installing the above downloads, make sure your system has plenty of memory available. Many of them -- especially Konfabulator and WindowBlinds -- are memory hogs and will slow older PCs down to a crawl.
Do you think the look and feel of Mac OS X is years ahead of Windows? Is the Microsoft Start button nearing the end of its life? Have you recently switched over from PC to Mac? How did you find the transition? Have your say below!

Now that you have determined that WordPress is the tool for you, the next step in the process is to get WordPress from its website over to your website. You will likely want to purchase your own hosting plan for your blog. This way, you have much more flexibility in how you use your WordPress blog, as compared to simply starting a blog on WordPress's website itself. For some personal users that is not a problem in and of itself.
However, the following steps will help you to install WordPress on your web server through your hosting plan. You can find much more useful tips about WordPress on this website too.
First, ensure that you and the host have the minimum requirements to run WordPress. Then, download the latest release of WordPress to your hard drive. You will need to download the file to a folder on your hard drive and then unzip it.
You will need to have a secure password that will be your secret key.
You will then create a database for WordPress that is located on your web server. You will need to create a MySQL user. This person should have all privileges available so that they can make modifications to the blog at any time.
You will then need to rename it from the following: wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php. Then, open this up in your text editor. You will then need to fill in some basic details here.
You will then place these files on the location you wish to on the web server. In most cases, this requires moving or uploading all of the contents of the directory (that you have unzipped to this point) to the root directory of your web server. You can also move it to a subdirectory if you would like to.
Once this is done, run the WordPress installation script. You can do this by going to wp-admin/install.php on your browser.
Once you have done this, you may be told to reboot, but in short, you should have WordPress up on your web server at this point. The process only takes about five to ten minutes (though it may take a few extra minutes if this is your first time using this type of software and upload method.) However, once you have it in place, you can and should start to use it. It only takes a few minutes to navigate to the login page to get started on the process.

Thread starter Tone Bristow-Stagg
Tone Bristow-Stagg
This discussion is focused on the "I Am".
We find in Exodus 3:14 "God said to Moses, "I am who I am." And he said, "Say this to the people of Israel, 'I am has sent me to you.'"
Then in the New Testament we find this;
Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
This is found in the Writings of Krishna
Chapter 10, Verse 8 "I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who know this perfectly engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts."
It says in the same chapter in verses 19 and 20 these provoking thoughts;
Chapter 10, Verse 19 "The Blessed Lord said: Yes, I will tell you of My splendorous manifestations, but only of those which are prominent, O Arjuna, for My opulence is limitless".
Chapter 10, Verse 20 "I am the Self, O Gudakesa, seated in the hearts of all creatures. I am the beginning, the middle and the end of all beings."
It goes on in the above chapter to show the extent of the "I Am".
Then in 1844 the Bab made this declaration".
"I am, I am, I am the Promised One! I am the One whose name you have for a thousand years invoked, at whose mention you have risen, whose advent you have longed to witness, and the hour of whose Revelation you have prayed to God to hasten." - The Báb
There is much more in the writings of the Bab, thus is but another passage;
"I am the Primal Point from which have been generated all created things. I am the Countenance of God Whose splendour can never be obscured, the Light of God Whose radiance can never fade."
– The Bab
Thus that is what we all get to ponder, we all get to explore what it is that is the 'I AM'
The question is also the observation.
Why is it that the I Am is found in all God given Faiths?
Why is it, that some Faiths decide the "I Am" is only applicable to their Faith?
Regards Tony
It has been my standard response to "How are you?" For decades.
It is much better than the option.
Be still and know that I am G!d (and glad to meet you)
There was a void
There was a vibration in the void.
A sound from the here there and everywhere.
Some interpret it as aum...others I am...others I am.
Me thinks we should be careful what we claim.
What vibrations we.choose to put into motion.
Our thoughts are prayers...

Ehyeh means 'I will be'. Any Hebrew speaker will tell you that.
14God said to Moses, "Ehyeh asher ehyeh (I will be what I will be)," and He said, "So shall you say to the children of Israel, 'Ehyeh (I will be) has sent me to you.'" ידוַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶל־משֶׁ֔ה אֶֽהְיֶ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶֽהְיֶ֑ה וַיֹּ֗אמֶר כֹּ֤ה תֹאמַר֙ לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל שְׁלָחַ֥נִי אֲלֵיכֶֽם:
I can see how I will be what I will be can be understood/interpreted as I am what I am, however a more appropriate answer to @RabbiO would have been, "Yes, I know Exodus 3:14 doesn't say that, but it can have the same meaning as I am."
Also, I would be really surprised if you didn't already know this.
If said God wanted to use I am, he would have used אָֽנֹכִ֖י (anochi) as he did in the first commandment
6"I am the Lord your God, Who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
בָעֲדִֽים

I.am sorry....really?
Bad affirmation.
You're higher self, your connection to all that is, is not sorry....
Wil, it seems a divine wind broke loose and removed a post or two? lol
It is all good, absolutely no apology needed, except me to you as my short replies are just me, which when not face to face, are never taken the right way. I have never written essays.
The OP is about how we see and perceive G_d the unknowable.
It is about the I Am, or I will be what I will be be or in any other form G_d is made known to us.
Entirely possible. When my Divine Wind breaks loose it can clear a room...

May 27, 1987 (1987-05-27)
Sport Goofy in Soccermania is an animated television special produced by The Walt Disney Company. It originally aired May 27, 1987 on NBC.[1] During its TV debut it was preceded by a mockumentary showing past Goofy cartoons of him always getting everything wrong, and leading into the cartoon special where the audience is finally shown a competent, athletic Goofy who is the hero.
In the half-hour special, Huey, Dewey, and Louie ask for help from Scrooge McDuck for their new soccer team by requesting he donate $1.49 to buy a championship trophy. Scrooge, being his typical stingy self, goes into a rant of "A dollar forty-nine! That is a lot of money!" and instead give an old trophy of his he thinks is worthless, but the boys pass the curator of the Duckburg Museum who sees it is a rare artifact worth a million dollars, causing Scrooge to gain the reputation of a generous philanthropist throughout Duckburg. To win back the trophy, Scrooge is now made to sponsor his nephews, where he is taken to a sporting goods store owned by a surprisingly athletic and agile Goofy. Scrooge enlists the aid of Goofy, soon known by the nickname of "Sport Goofy", who ends becoming the team's coach when the teammates of Scrooge's nephews are shown as ragtag misfits. The team christened the "McDuck Greenbacks", come together under Goofy's patient coaching and sharpen their soccer skills, and register to compete in the tournament.
Unfortunately, the Beagle Boys know of the trophy's value, and sought to enter the soccer tournament as well in order to "walk away with the trophy, all nice and legal", rather than steal it. When one of the Beagle Boys comments they are out of shape and do not know anything about soccer, their leader says all they have to do is cheat. The tournament comes down to the McDuck Greenbacks facing the Beagle Boys in the finals; the Beagles decide Sport Goofy is a problem and kidnap him. The team is disheartened by the loss of their coach and team captain, but resolve to go on without him. Despite the excellent playing by the team members, the Beagle Boys engage in outright cheating and a nearsighted referee keeps declaring the Beagles' goals legit, ending the first half with a score of 10-0. Sport Goofy quietly escapes the Beagles' hideout and gets to the field for the second half. The return of Sport Goofy encourages the Greenbacks into incredible playing that not even the Beagles' cheating can counter, causing a comeback of 10-10.
When the enraged Beagles resort to outright physically assaulting Sport Goofy, Scrooge finally makes the referee wear his glasses and see what is happening, causing the referee to cry foul and set up a penalty shot with only Sport Goofy and the Beagles' goalie. The Beagles' team captain has secretly placed a bomb in the ball, and orders a Beagle to push the red button on the detonator when Goofy is ready to take his shot. Unfortunately, that Beagle is so uneducated he keeps pushing the green button, causing Sport Goofy to easily make the penalty goal past an overconfident goalie, thus the Greenbacks win 11-10. All of Duckburg rejoices except for the Beagles, whose angry captain pushes the red button causing the ball to explode and send all the Beagle Boys into a waiting police van. Now that Scrooge has his trophy back, he donates it to the Duckburg Museum, and joins the McDuck Greenbacks in their championship photo.

Chick Hearn - The Announcer
This cartoon marks the first time Russi Taylor voices Huey, Dewey, and Louie (taking the role from Clarence Nash) and Grandma Duck (taking the role from June Foray). Joe Ranft and Tad Stones wrote the story. Ranft went on to work for Pixar, while Stones went on to work at Walt Disney Television Animation, turning the pairing of Scrooge McDuck and Donald's nephews into the animated TV series, DuckTales. Sport Goofy in Soccermania is one of the few Disney cartoons where Uncle Scrooge was not voiced by his classic voice actor of Alan Young, but instead was voiced by Will Ryan.
It was Darrell Van Citters' last production with Disney. He worked for Warner Bros. Animation for a couple years, before forming his own animation company, Renegade Animation.

Biden's Faux Liberalism | Opinion
Ahmed Twaij , freelance journalist, photographer, filmmaker
On 9/23/21 at 8:24 PM EDT
Opinion Joe Biden Climate Change Liberalism Democratic Party
This week's horrific scenes at the southern U.S. border remind us of America's not so distance past—when slavery existed. Border patrol officers riding on horseback whipping Haitians seeking refuge from their home country's growing corruption, natural disasters and crime is nothing short of inhumane. President Joe Biden has, despite repeatedly speaking out in aid of refugees, refused to back down from the expulsion of Haitian migrants, leading to the resignation of the U.S. special envoy to Haiti.
It has been eight months since Biden took the Oval Office. Many of his campaign pledges have either failed to come to fruition, or instead, opposing policies have been implemented. In the lead up to the presidential election, some billed Biden as America's "unlikely savior" for a post-Trump era, given his progressive stance on contested issues. But echoing former politicians, Biden's faux liberalism has meant he has repeatedly said one thing and acted in contrast.
If Biden Wants to Fight Climate Annihilation, He Should Staff the EPA
20 Years After the War on Terror Started
It was only four months ago when the Biden administration gave Haitian migrants protected status, claiming their home country wasn't safe. That status would have allowed Haitian immigrants in the U.S. a right to remain. Biden's progressive campaign pledge for a more humanitarian approach to immigration, promising "a fair, safe, and orderly immigration system that welcomes immigrants" was instead ignored as the administration succumbed to Republican anti-immigrant pressures. Mass expulsions of Haitians across the U.S. began this week with 320 Haitians placed on planes and sent directly to the Caribbean island, which the White House designated as being on the verge of collapse just last month. The repeated pro-refugee rhetoric by Biden was enough to excite liberals to vote for Biden in the 2020 election, but significant policy shifts have been lacking.
A similar story exists with climate change. After being sworn into office, Biden vowed to take a "whole of government" approach to tackle the climate crisis. The president spent time on the road, touring the country and reiterating that climate change is real and that we "can't continue to try and ignore reality." Although spewing such magniloquent language during campaigns may win over anti-Trump liberals at the polling booth, reality paints Biden very much in sync with the same establishment that put us in the climate crisis to begin with.
U.S. President Joe Biden speaks during a conference call on climate change. Al Drago/Getty Images
As wildfires ravaged through much of California, rain flooded New York and winter storms shut down Texas, the Biden administration has not acted to limit the fossil fuel industry's impact and instead moved to vastly expand it. This month, the White House approved the lease sale of 78 million acres of offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, despite Biden signing an executive order when taking office, banning "new oil and natural gas leases on public lands or in offshore waters, pending completion of a comprehensive review and reconsideration of Federal oil and gas permitting and leasing practices." That is despite the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report stating fossil fuels are the cause of irreversible damage to the planet. The Biden administration, opposing the report, said it "does not present sufficient cause" to stop offshore drilling.
If we truly aim to mitigate climate change, these deals should never be approved. Biden said the climate crisis has reached "code red." His reluctance to oppose the fossil fuel industry suggests he will continue to put profit margins above real change, reminding us of his "Senator from MBNA" nickname.
A similar issue is evident with the archaic filibuster. One of the largest roadblocks to passing policies in both the Democratic majority houses is the Republican misuse of the filibuster. The filibuster has tarnished America's democratic freedoms. Even President Biden admitted "abuse of the filibuster is pretty overwhelming," yet his administration continues to refuse to abolish it. He instead focuses on appeasing liberals by promoting voting rights during campaign speeches.
This faux liberalism isn't limited to Biden either. Even Nobel Peace Prize winning President Barack Obama frequently spoke of being anti-war, yet famously pushed for a deadly drone program. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was also celebrated as a liberal hero, while at the same time pushed for the climate-damaging Keystone pipeline.
It is not enough to just talk about pressing issues like the climate crisis, refugees and voting rights when radical change and action are needed. Biden has spent his presidency trying to please both sides of the political spectrum, and in doing so, failed to achieve any of the goals he set out to achieve.
