Though a March 22-25 Rome summit on the African church featured four cardinals and several bishops, it was a lay woman from Nigeria who rang the loudest warning bell, charging the powers that be with not getting complacent and allowing the faithful to get "lost in the crowd" among ever-expanding numbers.
ROME—Due to its rapid growth, the Church in Africa has long been considered a future axis of Catholicism. Phenomenal statistics that show expansion in the number of faithful, vocations, and churches should elate any Catholic.
Yet a determined lay woman from the continent warned a summit of Catholic leaders in Rome that the church has no business resting on its laurels.
The March 22-25 gathering organized by Notre Dame's Center for Culture and Ethics included a wide range of speakers, including Nigerian cardinals Francis Arinze and John Onayekan, Cardinal Laurent Monsengwo of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana, currently head of a Vatican mega-dicastery.
Also on hand were bishops, theologians, professors, students and a handful of laity from up and down the continent.
One was Obiageli Nzenwa, a Nigerian lay woman who works as an independent human resources consultant in Abuja. She urged the Church to reclaim the faithful, especially from the challenge posed by Pentecostalism in Africa.
The aim, she argued, must be not only maintaining numbers, but resisting what she described as a confused identity and a passive way of living the faith.
As Onayekan said during his presentation on Friday, a Nigerian would rather be shot at than ignored, and seeing the size a parish can be, it's easy to see why this would happen.
Father George Adimike of southeastern Nigeria, the heart of Catholicism in the country, told Crux that in his diocese the cathedral church celebrates 13 Masses on any given Sunday, and some 2,000 people attend each.
With 17 priests in residence for a congregation that each week averages out at around 26,000, the idea floated by Nzenwa of there being no real sense of community, and that a person can leave the congregation without being noticed, seems plausible given the sheer numbers in question.
As a response, she suggested giving further encouragement to "community groupings," beginning with Mass, and including Bible study, discussion of pressing issues, and concluding with light refreshments.
Speaking to Crux on Saturday, Nzenwa said she saw this lack of "deep, interpersonal relationships in the Church" as one of the reasons it's so tempting for many Catholics to look for other alternatives, more often than not among Pentecostal churches.
Despite the fact that many of the continent's heavy-hitters in terms of Catholic influence were listed either as speakers or listeners in the conference, it was Nzenwa who was tasked with identifying the causes, and proposing solutions, to the defections the Church is experiencing in Africa.
Her remarks, Nzenwa said, were mostly based in having spoken to people who have left the Church in recent times, and the reasons she found for it were, in many ways, universal.
She spoke about the feeling many young Catholics have of having had the faith "imposed" upon them by their parents, the Church's rigidity on moral issues, often presented as a rule with little to no explanation, and no alternative path.
Touching on an issue that came up repeatedly during the Synods of Bishops on the family, she spoke about the challenges posed by interdenominational marriages. As someone who became a Catholic after marrying one, she had much to share about this.
Not one to let a first row full of cardinals and bishops intimidate her, she also spoke about the damage that scandals, particularly those of a sexual nature involving the clergy, have caused to the faithful.
"No doubt, we are taught that the impact of these scandals cannot take away the holiness of the Church, but with the faithful seeing God in and through the actions of their priests and religious, such scandals will definitely have a devastating effect on them," she said.
After listing the reasons behind the exodus, she also gave several suggestions that would help prevent it while leading people fully into the faith.
To begin with, she suggested that because families have to "contend with secularism, Pentecostalism, plurality of faiths and doctrines," it's crucial to start tutoring in the faith at a young age, with a proper understanding of it.
As a footnote, the room erupted in laughter when, after saying that many priests deliver boring homilies, she felt the need to clarify that it wasn't the case with those present.
In addition, Nzenwa said that acknowledging the human side of the Church instead of "being silent about the matter and simply transferring priests involved," would aid the healing process of already disappointed Catholics.
Yet, above all, perhaps the timeliest advice she gave was to urge the African Church, from the bottom to the top, not to pat itself on the back for what has been accomplished: Few things are more dangerous, she suggested, than becoming complacent.

Q: git subtree pull rebase error I added one repo as subtree, when I run git pull -s subtree projectB master, everything is as expected, but get fatal when switch to rebase merge with git pull --rebase -s subtree projectB master. Log:
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
fatal: Could not parse object 'd2c2b2d5548fab404e1fccfa1fc22da3d5a6151c^'

Any ideas?

A: [edit] I believe subtree depends on the tree hash remaining the same to maintain the path and rebase doesn't.
I've run into this using subtree. If your configs have rebase=true
such as branch.master.rebase=true and pull.rebase=true it will defeat the subtree.
It seems there was a documentation recommendation that never got merged (this looks like a howto page you may be using)...
In my case a quick git config pull.rebase false did the trick. Tweaking git config branch.master.rebase false should help that repo sync.

Supergirl Season 3: Alex Tries to Figure Out What's Wrong with Samantha
by Dan Wickline
The main story on tonight's Supergirl moves back to focusing on Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath) and Morgan Edge (Adrian Pasdar) as Edge accuses Lena of trying to have him killed and Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) gets involved. And now that they seem to be an item, you can be sure that Jimmy Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) will get involved as well. And clips have shown him suiting up as Guardian again.
But the 'B' story of For Good may be the one to pay close attention to as the clip below sets up. Alex (Chlyer Leigh), who used to be a doctor/researcher before joining the DEO, is going to help Samantha (Odette Annable) figure out the memory blackouts she's been having. We see the two of them about to use an MRI machine at Lexcorp Labs. But we know that the blackouts are caused by her turning into Reign, and the possibility is there that something Alex does might trigger that transformation, which could put Alex in extreme danger. Also interesting to note that Alex seems to be walking pretty well — guess her leg has healed up since the last time she met Reign.
Supergirl airs tonight at 8 p.m. ET in the CW.

US Congressman Presents Congressional Record Recognition of Patriarch Bartholomew
Congressman Darin LaHood recently presented an official copy of the United States Congressional Record to John C. Ackerman and Father Anastasios Theodoropoulos of All Saints Greek Orthodox Parish in Peoria, Illinois. The entry from September 25, 2019 reflects a session of Congress during which the United States House of Representatives recognized the October 19th 50th Anniversary of the Priesthood of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople, spiritual leader of Eastern Orthodox Christians throughout the world.
"I would like to honor Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople for his 50th Anniversary of Priesthood" proclaimed Congressman LaHood. "His All Holiness was ordained as a priest on October 19th, 1969. Since that day, he has never ceased to make strides in religious studies and world peace. His services to our global society has had a positive impact on many lives" he continued.
"I am grateful for all the good that His All Holiness does for Americans, and those around the world. Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew serves as a reminder to us that the positive efforts of just one person can be beneficial to countless lives of others" concluded Congress LaHood.
The recognition of the Ecumenical Patriarch was requested by Ackerman of Washington, Illinois, who was elected in 2018 Tazewell County Clerk & Recorder of Deeds and is a Greek Orthodox parishioner. The plan is to send the Congressional Record to His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America with a request that he deliver it to His All Holiness. This past May the State of Illinois House of Representatives unanimously pass a similar resolution, HR0348, recognizing the 50th Anniversary in the Priesthood of the Ecumenical Patriarch. That resolution, sponsored by Illinois Representative Tim Butler and also requested by John C. Ackerman, has already been delivered to His All Holiness.
Congressman Darin LaHood represents Illinois's 18th Congressional District across Central Illinois. Before being elected to Congress, he was a member of the Illinois Senate representing the seven-county 37th legislative district. Darin LaHood is the son of Ray LaHood, the former United States Secretary of Transportation under President Barack Obama and before then the seven term congressman from the district his son currently represents.

The Hairstyling Rules You Need to Follow After Getting a Perm
By Victoria Moorhouse
Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images
When you have a modern perm, all you have to do to get perfect beachy waves is basically roll out of bed. The treatment has the ability to totally take the place of your daily 20-minute morning meeting with a curling wand, but it's not completely free of maintenance. In order to keep your the freshly set texture in-tact, there's a few very important rules you need to follow when it comes to applying heat, styling, and the products you choose. Consider this roundup of pro tips your modern perm after-care manual.
Immediately After the Perm
That whole speech Legally Blonde's Elle Woods gave was legit. After perming your hair, celebrity hairstylist Sascha Breuer says you'll need to wait three days before getting it wet. "I only recommend washing sooner if you want to break up the curls to achieve a softer, semi-permanent beachy waves look," he adds.
For a week, steer clear of any styling, other than simply scrunching the hair with your fingers to set the curls in place. "Even the most basic hairstyles or hair accessories can potentially cause your perm to break or set in a unwanted shape," says Breuer. That also includes not brushing your hair with a hairbrush. At most, you can finger-comb your curls, or if you have to, use a wide-toothed comb in the shower after applying conditioner. When you go to bed, wrap your hair in a silk scarf to protect the perm. Finally, Breuer recommends staying away from chemical treatments, which could potentially disrupt your perm, for at least a month after your perm.
But really, you shouldn't be freaking out about how you're styling it on the day-to-day. "One of the best bits about perming hair is that you don't have to agonize about styling daily: the look is a major statement in itself," says Breur.
VIDEO: Trust Us, We Tried It: The Modern Perm
The Rules of Heat Styling
"On the whole, it's best to avoid heat styling as much as possible," notes Breuer. Swap out regular blow drying for air drying, and if you have to use a blow-dryer, be sure to attach the diffuser. "Straightening tools should also be avoided because permed hair tends to frizz out more than natural hair and heat styling causes split-ends to appear much faster in perms, all of which means that your curls break up sooner than you'd want," he says.
Ideally, the modern perm would make it less necessary for you to plug in a hot tool in the first place. If you do want to heat style in any form, Breuer says to coat your hair with a heat protectant—he loves Wella EMEI Thermal Image Spray ($18; ulta.com). "The spray works on two fronts: creating a protective barrier that holds up against extreme heat and smoothening hair follicles to prevent frizzing so that your curls stay healthy and glossy."

The Rules on Products
Your haircare shelf might need a mini makeover. Try to avoid hair products that are made with alcohol and silicones. "Alcohol will dry out your hair fast, leaving it brittle and frizzy and ruining the perm," notes Breuer. "Silicones wear heavy, making hair greasy and weighed-down. If you can't avoid these ingredients, at the very least you've got to look for products that carry these in a minimal concentration."
For your shampoo and conditioner, go for moisturizing curl-enhancing formulas, but be sure they're not ultra-creamy, which could weigh down your perm and disrupt the shape of your curls. Since the idea is finding a balance between cleansing your curls and clearing build-up and enhancing them, try deep cleansing on a weekly basis. "You want to give your curls extra nourishment and protection, against the elements and artificial stressors like heat styling tools, so look for products that are protein-rich," adds Breuer.


Courtney Hubbard's inspiring journey of grace, strength and courage is a lesson to all.
Little did Courtney Hubbard know that the land her family once owned in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, would one day provide the very foundation for the cancer center she would come to rely on for care, guidance and treatment.
It was July of 2009 when Courtney Hubbard, a 31-year-old wife and mother of twin six-year-olds and a four-year-old, would receive the diagnosis that nearly one in eight women will receive in their lifetime.
During a routine annual breast exam, Courtney's OBGYN discovered a lump. Within 12 hours, she would learn that she had a very rare and aggressive form of breast cancer that would need immediate attention.
Courtney would spend the next 12 months traveling to and from MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, undergoing treatments to fight the disease.
When the long year finally ended and the hard work was done, she began the road to recovery and resumed the roles she loved so dearly–wife, mom and Kindergarten teacher.
It was just a short time later that she would receive devastating news. The cancer had not only returned, but it had metastasized to bone. She was told the cancer was now classified as Stage IV, treatable but not curable.
Courtney was very pleased to find that she could schedule appointments with her oncologist and hematologist, Dr. Benjamin Gatewood, around her school schedule.
Courtney was recently approved to participate in a Phase I Clinical Drug Trial. Through a partnership with MD Anderson Cancer Center, Singing River Health System Regional Cancer Center helps coordinate monthly visits to Houston with her ongoing care in Ocean Springs. The clinical quality and expertise at each facility has been exceptional for Courtney, but she feels a special connection to her care team in Ocean Springs.
Courtney is also very thankful for her fellow teachers who pull together when she is out of the classroom.
With renewed strength, she begins each day with peace and a sense of purpose, raising Maura-Kaye, Brock and Brayson with husband Mark and inspiring others with her grace.

Q: Problemas al llamar al método con un objeto de una clase Me estoy iniciando en POO. En el ejemplo que adjunto a continuación, relacionado con la "Asociación ", cuando llamo a los métodos obtengo dos errores diferents que no soy capaz a entender. Agradeceré vuestra ayuda
# Asociación
class A(object):
    def __init__(self, a, b, c):
        self.a = a
        self.b = b
        self.c = c

    def addNums(self):
        self.b + self.c

class B(object):
    def __init__(self, d, e):
        self.d = d
        self.e = e

    def addAllNums(self, Ab, Ac):
        x = self.d + self.e + Ab + Ac
        return x

ting = A("yo", 2, 6)
ling = B(5, 9)

print (ling.addAllNums(ting.b, ting.c))

print (ting)
print (ting.a, ting.b, ting.c)

Al ejecutar el código que pongo a continuación, obtengo errores.
# ¿No debería sumar b+c = 2+6?
print (ting.addNums())

OUT: None

# No debería sumar 4+5?
print (ting.addNums(3, 4, 5))

*TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-7-11c2791a7718> in <module>
      1 # No debería sumar 4+5?
----> 2 print (ting.addNums(3, 4, 5))
TypeError: addNums() takes 1 positional argument but 4 were given*

A: Te voy a realizar las siguientes modificaciones en el código:

*

*Quito la palabra object de la clase, ya que en Python 3 no es necesaria

*Quito los espacios que tienes en los prints

*Te devuelve None, porque la función de la clase A no tiene return, por lo tanto una función sin return, siempre devuelve nada (es decir None). Agrego el return a esa función para que devuelva el resultado.

*El error se debe a que el método addNumsperteneciente a la clase A. No toma ningún parámetro, tan solo tiene el self. Por tanto a un método (al igual que a cualquier función) que no toma ningún parametro, no puedes pasarle ningún parámetro. TypeError: addNums() takes 1 positional argument but 4 were given te indica que el único parámetro que toma este método es el self y tu le estás pasando 3 más.

Una vez explicado todo, adjunto el ćodigo

# Asociación
class A:
    def __init__(self, a, b, c):
        self.a = a
        self.b = b
        self.c = c

    def addNums(self):
        return self.b + self.c

class B:
    def __init__(self, d, e):
        self.d = d
        self.e = e

    def addAllNums(self, Ab, Ac):
        x = self.d + self.e + Ab + Ac
        return x #Añadimos el return

ting = A("yo", 2, 6)
ling = B(5, 9)

print(ling.addAllNums(ting.b, ting.c))

print(ting)
print(ting.a, ting.b, ting.c)

print(ting.addNums())
#print(ting.addNums(3, 4, 5)) Comentamos esto, porque como he explicado no tiene sentido.

Interactive fleet list feature on Passenger websites
See all the vehicles in an operator fleet in real-time on this brand new map feature.
A live, interactive overview of bus fleets is now available on the web for operators, created by UK technology company Passenger. The feature turns an operator's Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) feed, which tracks its vehicles as they travel along scheduled routes, into a detailed fleet information list and interactive map.
Using Passenger's Enhanced Vehicle Information system, the interactive fleet list allows website visitors to easily see all the available information about the vehicles in a fleet, including whether it has WiFi, wheelchair spaces and important accessibility features. Current livery, vehicle registration, vehicle type and name (e.g. HMS Sherwood) are also displayed.
The interactive fleet list feature not only makes vehicle information available to users in an easy to digest way but is also generated dynamically. This new use of existing data within Passenger Cloud, the platform powering Passenger's highly rated websites and apps, means operators need to spend fewer hours maintaining information for customers. As the official source of the information, this new feature helps to make sure it is always as accurate as possible for the operator.
The fleet list was first rolled out for Midlands-based Nottingham City Transport (NCT), with Blackpool Transport and Go North East deploying within a few days of the feature's release.
Anthony Carver-Smith, Marketing Manager at NCT said "Being able to check the features on each bus as well as where they all are in real-time is absolutely fantastic. This is another step forward in having the most accurate and up-to-date information available to all our customers, helping them to make their journeys confidently and efficiently. We've also now removed our spreadsheet-based fleet list, as this new fleet list feature means one less job for us to do."
Available to any operator with a Passenger Premium website and its Live Buses module, the maps also centre on any selected vehicle, enabling website visitors to find and track a bus in real-time. Perfect for any bus with a unique livery, seasonal or livery-based marketing campaigns and for highlighting new additions to the fleet.
Passenger CEO Tom Quay said, "It always brings a smile when our team has worked on something that our customers and users enjoy. Even more so when we build something that is both innovative and looks really cool".
The new fleet list feature will also be available on Passenger's new myTrip websites, launching in early 2021. myTrip websites will bring additional capabilities to smaller operators, who are already benefiting from Passenger's new myTrip multi-operator app platform.

Hydroventura, having initially identified the project, maintains a 25% stake in the company in partnership with Icafal Inversiones S.A., the investment arm of a leading Chilean civil construction group. After closing project financing with Banco de Credito e Inversiones, HEC completed construction of the asset and initiated electrical generation in August 2016.
The plant consists of two horizontal axis Francis turbines with air-cooled generators, switchgear and connection into the distribution network at 23kV. The civil works are comprised of a steel penstock adequately designed with thrust blocks for high seismic loading, a head drop of 98m and a design flow of 7m3/s. The project is built into the Canal Cumpeo, originally comissioned in 1890 to supply agricultural and fruit growing areas in the VII region of Chile. The project involved the construction of approximately 5km of new build canal, lined with a bitumonous covering - a first in hydropower construction in Chile. Upgrades to 11km of existing canal infrastructure were also delivered, including the correction and modernisation of four ageing tunels and several control structures, which have contributed to securing irrigation supply - sponsored by the Comision Nacional de Riego (CNR).
Team on site
Central Cumpeo was designed and developed to a world-class environmental standard, obtaining all relevant permits via the rigorous SEIA process. Given that the hydro project is built into an existing irrigation canal, and the majority of works located within a plantation pine forest, the environmental impacts of the scheme are minimal, in accordance with the company's objective to generate sustainable, green power.
The plant generates between 32-40GWh each year, enough energy to sustainably meet the needs of the 40,000 people living in the nearby town of Molina, local fruit packing and refridgeration facilities, wine processing plants and other local industry.

Make the best of 2021 with the help of Angelia Trinidad, founder of Passion Planner
Angelia Trinidad, San Diego native and founder of Passion Planner, holds one of her planners
By Sara ButlerStaff Writer
April 6, 2021 10:15 AM PT
Every January, articles about how to tackle the new year flood our newsfeeds. Buy a planner! Make resolutions! Set yourself up for success!
Well ... did you? Despite our best intentions, many of us put off buying that planner and making those resolutions. With a global pandemic added to the equation, it's easy to forget, or simply lack the motivation, to create a game plan for the new year.
Though January has come and gone, it's not too late to make the most of 2021 — and Angelia ("Angel") Trinidad might be able to help.
Trinidad is a San Diego native who grew up in Paradise Hills and Otay Ranch. In 2008, she graduated from Otay Ranch High School and moved to Los Angeles, where she studied art and education at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Like many young adults, Trinidad experienced the age-old bout of anxiety after college graduation. Rather than let the fear hold her back from finding success, Trinidad became determined to create a tool to navigate the uncertainty, discover her passions and take control of her future.
Angelia Trinidad is a graduate of Otay Ranch High School and studied art and education at the University of California, Los Angeles.
The result was Passion Planner — a paper planner that encourages users to organize their lives in a way that allows them to focus on their goals. Over the last eight years, her Kickstarter campaign blossomed into a successful National City-based business, consisting of 28 employees and more than a million users.
When COVID-19 hit last year, Trinidad was among the millions who had to work from home and adjust to a "new normal" in quarantine. To deal with the year's challenges, Trinidad said she learned to manage expectations for herself, which included delegating tasks to others, practicing self-care, and accepting that operating at 110% might not be so realistic during a global pandemic.
Below, Trinidad opens up about what her planner looked like in 2020, shares tips for handling burnout in quarantine and offers advice on goal setting for 2021.
[Note: Some of the answers in this interview have been edited for length and clarity.]
PACIFIC: When you felt anxiety and uncertainty after graduating college in 2012, you decided to create a tool to help you through it: Passion Planner. How has that tool helped you handle the feelings of anxiety and uncertainty from the past year?
ANGELIA TRINIDAD: In all honesty, there was a period from August to November (2020) that I barely used my planner to plan. The stress of the pandemic, delayed supply chains, and social justice issues coming to the forefront really was weighing on me. For those months, I was in mental crisis.
Instead I used my planner as a journal, going back to the old pages to write love letters to myself to celebrate the small wins, vent about things that were causing me stress, keep my self-talk as loving as possible, and keep everything in context.
It really helped me stay focused on the bigger picture. I constantly reminded myself that I have managed to get through so many hard things already in 2020 and I would also get through this too. The monthly check-in's (featured in Passion Planner) really helped me also reflect on what I learned throughout the crisis, as well as be explicit for what and who I was grateful for.
Overall it helped me constantly find my silver lining in a year that felt so gray. I love that I can use my planner without judgement from myself, others, or my planner; that unconditional acceptance of whatever I am feeling is so cathartic.
The weekly layout featured in Passion Planner includes elements such as vertical time slots, separate personal and work to-do lists, a motivational quote, and a "space of infinite possibility" for writing, doodling or brainstorming.
PACIFIC: For those still working from home, maintaining a work-life balance has been an ongoing challenge. As a business owner, how have you been able to balance your personal life with your career? Did your approach change at all during 2020?
TRINIDAD: Although my friends call me one of the most intentional people they've ever met, when it comes to time, 2020 was hard. The factors of being home ALL the time, working virtually and constantly being worried, made work-life balance feel like we were playing on level expert. I think managing expectations for my team and myself really helped — I expected and allowed myself to get a 65% in everything in my life for 2020 as a passing "grade" and that really helped take the pressure off myself.
I treat work like being a professional athlete. There are short amounts of time where I must give my all, hustle and be on my A-game, and there are times to rest and recover. I believe I need both to perform at my best ... I also have designed my schedule to work with how my brain works. For example, I get my best heavy lifting work right when I wake up, so I actually take a nap everyday after lunch to wake up refreshed and ready to take on another session of mental heavy lifting.
PACIFIC: What is one way you practice self-care?
TRINIDAD: I get massages twice a week. It may seem excessive but when you are someone with ADHD, who is a CEO whose mind is buzzing all the time, it is so nice to relax and be taken care of and not have to worry about a thing, even if it's only for an hour.
I have a post-it on my computer that says "What would my ideal partner want me to do?" and use this question often. Often, it is easier for me to think about what someone who loves me would want for me, because I have been trained to not spend money and do something "selfish" by society and my immigrant parents. I think my ideal partner would definitely co-sign on the concept of taking the time to take care of my body and relax my mind.
Angelia Trinidad grew up in Paradise Hills and Otay Ranch. Passion Planner's headquarters are currently based in National City.
PACIFIC: Do you have any tips for individuals that are currently experiencing burnout or a lack of motivation in quarantine?
TRINIDAD: I have totally been there; I was so burnt out I couldn't sleep. Some things that helped me include:
Do the joyful small things you can control and don't judge yourself for them. One of the things that I did was game on my iMac for two to three hours while walking on my desk treadmill. Even though it wasn't "productive," it was something I looked forward to doing that engaged my mind and body, especially during a time of crisis and stress.
Move your body. Whenever you get an inkling to go outside, do it! Even if it is only for five to 10 minutes, we are creatures designed to live amongst nature. Sometimes walking in my neighborhood, looking up at the sky through the trees, and noticing the quirky people and houses is the highlight of my day. Sometimes I put on a good song and walk (around) pretending I'm in a music video. It always makes me smile.
Other than doing small things, I would recommend finding validation for your feelings from yourself or people who love you. Quarantine is lonely, so if you can find a way to be connected, whether digitally or distanced, I think this can be your saving grace. It definitely was mine. Also, for me, having a therapist to help me navigate all of the new situations that came up in 2020 helped me feel normal and it helped me have someone to consistently vent and talk to.
Nourish your body as best as you can. What you eat definitely affects how you feel, so be conscious of how you consume.
Lastly, one thing I like to tell myself when I am overwhelmed is, "One day at a time, one step at a time." A lot of times we overestimate what we can do, and even more so what we can do in a pandemic, so really striving for my best day in and day out and knowing that that will look different everyday really helps me recover from burnout.
Passion Planner's Weekly 2021 Annual in the Pacific Blue color
PACIFIC: At a time when the future feels so up in the air, what advice would you give someone trying to make plans or set goals for 2021?
TRINIDAD: I think a lot of us need to rebuild our confidence from what we suffered from in 2020. My advice is to build confidence. Make small, simple goals and celebrate your wins, even the little ones.
It's also okay to re-evaluate your goals if the things outside of your control change. Your goals are not set in stone and sometimes you grow out of them or need to adjust them. This is perfectly okay! Accept those things and make changes to your goals moving forward.
I also would recommend defining your 1-2 target emotions that you feel when you are at your best. These become tangible goals you can schedule time for everyday. One of mine is feeling "playful," and everyday I try to do something playful, whether that is a fun conversation, learning something new in a non-serious way or playing a videogame. By doing that I am feeling like I am at my best, everyday.

MPAA Rating: for thematic content and some teen partying.
Zach and Dave Truett (played by Tanner Stine and Evan Hofer) are two high school aged brothers looking forward to bright futures. Zach, in particular, is especially anticipating all the football scholarships that he hopes will be coming his way. Both he and his brother, see these as their lifeline.
You see, their mother died years ago, and their father became so distraught after the event that he became an alcoholic and abandoned both the boys and left them to fend for themselves. While Dave (even though he still is hurt by his father leaving) tries to be reasonable and extends his father some grace. Zach isn't so easy to grant forgiveness. Even though Zach's father tries to mend the relationship, at times, Zach dismisses his advances.
The one person that really cares for the boys is their godmother (played by Frances Fisher). She runs the local grocery store where the boys work.
One day, while Zach is at a party with his teammates (where there is some underage drinking), he and some of his teammates get into a physical altercation with players from a rival school's team, which results in Zach tearing his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament—connective tissue of the knee). Zach's coach hear this news and is very angry. Zach has now lost his scholarships.
He feels stuck. While he attends his hospital visits (physical therapy sessions), he meets a beautiful young nurse named Ginger (Kelsey Reinhardt), and while she initially refuses his flirtatious remarks, she eventually gives up due to his persistence, and a small romance blooms between the two.
Meanwhile, Zach eventually takes Ginger on a date, and eventually meets her parents. This to me, was the best scene in the film. Important subjects like: Why is there suffering in this world? Where is God?, etc. are brought up.
Due to what happens that night, Zach and Ginger keep their distance for a bit, but they do reconcile later, after he makes amends.
***SPOILER*** David completes his races, until one night, he and his brother are at home and David has a massive seizure that sends him to the hospital. While they are there, Zach asks David if he can get him anything. David tells him to bring him a change of clothes and his Bible. In the following scene, Zach accepts Christ as his lord and savior.
As far as objectionable content goes, there really isn't any. Except for maybe the one or two scenes of underage drinking (which are extremely brief, not gratuitous, and definitely stays within the PG rating).
I liked Tanner Stine's performance and his character (Zach) the most. I think that he definitely elevates this movie. His mannerisms and the way he delivers some of his lines made me like his character.
Forgiveness doesn't mean the other person gets a free pass, but rather you choose to become a better person, not a bitter person. Forgiveness sets a prisoner free.
I've personally seen some people in my life become so bitter, because of unforgiveness, that it makes them hard to be around. We can all learn from this and apply it.

2019 NFL Week 6 Picks and Preview — Detroit Lions (2-1-1) at Green Bay Packers (4-1)
(Aaron Rodgers and Matt LaFleur photo courtesy Matthew Emmons/USA TODAY Sports)
This is the full preview(s) as seen on the Winners and Whiners and Stat Salt websites. The confidence rating for all picks on a scale from 1 to 5 is in parentheses.
When and Where: Monday, Oct. 14, Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisc., 8:20 p.m. EDT.
There are many things Aaron Rodgers has faced over the course of his storied career, but a new challenge awaits him Monday night when the Green Bay Packers host NFC North rival Detroit to wrap up Week 6.
Ending a losing streak to the Lions.
Rodgers has tormented the Lions over his career, going 13-5 with 4,526 yards and 37 touchdown passes with just six interceptions. There have been Hail Marys answered, a 6-2 record in games decided by seven or fewer points, and eight games of 300 or more yards.
Yet one of the few things Detroit (2-1-1) got right in Matt Patricia's first season was doing enough to beat Green Bay. Rodgers threw for 442 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-23 loss to the Lions, with his two fumbles among three turnovers that consigned the Packers (4-1) to defeat.
In last season's finale at Lambeau Field, Rodgers left the game in the second quarter due to a concussion likely suffered on the second play of the game when he was sacked and lost his helmet. He played the remainder of the first quarter before coming out, and the Lions coasted to a 31-0 victory.
It was the second straight year Detroit swept Green Bay, with Rodgers missing both games in 2017 due to a broken right clavicle. It is the longest winning streak the Lions have enjoyed in this lengthy rivalry since an 11-game run from 1949-54, long before the days of Rodgers, Brett Favre, and even Bart Starr were under center for the Packers.
Lions in Review
The Lions had the bye week to stew about their 34-30 home loss to Kansas City on Sept. 29 that knocked them from the ranks of the unbeaten. The positive was Detroit went toe-to-toe for the Chiefs for the full 60 minutes and led 30-27 after Matthew Stafford hooked up with Kenny Golladay on a 6-yard TD pass with 2:26 to play, but that was also more than enough time for Patrick Mahomes to march the Chiefs 79 yards for a game-winning drive.

— NFL Update (@MySportsUpdate) September 29, 2019
The other positive for Detroit was Kerryon Johnson finally having a breakout performance, nearly doubling his yardage total on the season after rushing for a season-best 125 on a career-high 26 carries. Johnson had totaled just 126 yards on 48 carries in the first three contests.
The Lions also held Mahomes without a touchdown pass, something that will be difficult to duplicate against Rodgers given Green Bay's varied passing attack. Detroit has been a flexible defense that stiffens in the red zone, yielding 1,175 yards but just four TD tosses while opposing quarterbacks have completed just 55.4 percent of their passes.
Packers in Review
Though Rodgers has put up solid numbers in the first five games with 1,307 yards and six TDs with only one interception while completing 62.8 percent of his passes, there are times it is obvious there are teething pains with first-year coach Matt LaFleur's offense.
That said, other players have been stepping up — not to pick up Rodgers, but rather complement his play. In Dallas against the Cowboys last weekend, it was running back Aaron Jones, who had 107 yards on 19 carries and all four touchdowns as Green Bay turned back a late rally in a 34-24 win.

— The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) October 7, 2019
Rodgers played the hot hand both running and passing, which was also Jones out of the backfield as he caught seven passes for 75 yards. Nine different players had at least one reception for the Packers, who yielded 563 yards but picked off Dak Prescott three times.
The takeaways have been an integral part of Green Bay's success as it enters this contest with a plus-7 turnover margin, and its seven interceptions have already matched the total for all of last season.
Lions run offense vs Packers run defense
After Johnson came one yard shy of doubling his season rushing total, the obvious question is "What does he do for an encore?"
WOOP!! Kerryon Johnson making everyone miss 😱 pic.twitter.com/Z9pUubKyzc
— Complex Sports (@ComplexSports) September 15, 2019
For his part, Patricia is not averse to giving the second-year back more touches — which is good for Johnson's confidence after he had a goal-line fumble against the Chiefs returned 100 yards for a touchdown — but he is also not going out of his way to have offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell overhaul his weekly game plan.
"I think it was really just product of the game, to be honest with you," Patricia said regarding Johnson's Week 4 effort. "I think it was something where he was running really well, and then, really, honestly, for the situation that came up where we had the swing there with the fumble on the goal line, just thought it was a confidence thing for me to get him back out there and get him going again."
One bit of good news is rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson should be available to help clear holes for Johnson. The eighth overall pick cleared the league's concussion protocol over the weekend.
Green Bay's plus-7 turnover margin is tied with New England for the best in the NFL, and it also magnifies how important those takeaways are when examining a porous run defense.
The Packers have allowed an average of 161.3 rushing yards on 5.42 yards per carry in their last four games. Even while trailing the entire game last week, the Cowboys were confident enough they mixed in an occasional run to finish with 122 rushing yards.
With the Packers struggling to fill running lanes, Mike Pennel and Sylvester Williams probably isn't an accident. Pennel had an 80+ run defense grade by PFF in 2018, Williams had an 80+ in 2017. https://t.co/KkMgobMSc2

It can be argued the Packers are catching a break in not facing one of the league's elite backs after struggling to contain both Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook, but Philadelphia's non-descript running backs churned out 176 yards in Week 4 and Denver committed to the run in Week 3 and finished with 149 on 38 carries.

Here is a much better breakdown of the above touchdown pass by Stafford that shows the 11-year pro still has plenty of zip on the ball in addition to being able to read defenses fairly well.
You need to watch @danorlovsky7's breakdown of Matthew Stafford's TD pass. So good. pic.twitter.com/soanWVdW9Q
— Isaac (@WorldofIsaac) October 2, 2019
Despite a 7-10 lifetime record for the Packers, Stafford has more than held up his end in the last seven games — he has accumulated 2,085 yards and 16 TD passes against only two interceptions while completing 66.2 percent of his passes. Stafford also has nine TD tosses without an interception during Detroit's current four-game winning streak in this series.
"He is a great quarterback. He can make all the throws," Packers safety Adrian Amos told SI.com. "He has a big arm. Playing them over the years, he is one of the top guys in the league. You can't make it easy on them quarterbacks. Hopefully, we can get some pressure on them."
Amos has seamlessly transitioned from Chicago to Green Bay, recording one of the Packers' seven interceptions. While opposing quarterbacks are 9 for 12 on passes in his vicinity, those completions have netted just 52 yards.

Much of the ink regarding Green Bay's pass defense has covered the upgrades in the pass rush Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith have provided, but cornerbacks Kevin King and Jaire Alexander are also proving themselves on a week-in, week-out basis.
The pair have recorded 15 pass breakups and three interceptions between them as opposing quarterbacks have had only sporadic success. Opponents are 18 for 40 throwing Alexander's way and 19 for 31 against King, though the volume of targets has resulted in both of them ranked in the top 10 for yards allowed in coverage.
"They're just putting a lot of pressure on opponents stopping the run and putting a lot of pressure on the quarterback to allow the guys in the back end to be able to cover," Patricia noted to the Detroit Free Press. "A very aggressive, attacking-style defense. I would say the other part of it is the turnover part of the team right now, with the offense not turning the ball over and the defense getting turnovers and things like that."
Packers run offense vs. Lions run defense
It used to be a simple credo, stop Rodgers and you stop the Packers.
LaFleur has not reinvented the wheel by any stretch of the imagination when it comes to the offense — Green Bay still ranks in the bottom half of the league when it comes to run-pass balance at 40.1 percent run (18th), but it is much better than last year when it ran the ball 32.5 percent of the time.
🗣 AARON JONES HAS FOUR RUSHING TOUCHDOWNS. @showtyme_33 #GBvsDAL #GoPackGo

In some ways, Jones is like his Lions counterpart Johnson in that LaFleur has yet to really use his running back as a bellcow. Jones has gotten more than 13 carries twice in Green Bay's first five games, but those two games were also his most productive ones as he topped 100 yards on both occasions.
Jones' 182 yards from scrimmage tied the highest total for any Packers running back since Rodgers became the full-time starter in 2008, and he also has two of the three highest totals in that span.
"Yeah, he was running, and he was running well," Rodgers told the team's official website after the win over Dallas. "His typical style, slasher, cutbacks, breaking tackles. I thought it was a great game for him. He was the hot hand. Got a lot of touches down in the red zone and finished those up nicely."
Much like the Packers' run defense, the Lions have consistently struggled to stop the run. Detroit has yielded at least 112 yards in every game and 124.8 per contest overall as teams have averaged 4.84 yards per carry.
It is not strictly running backs, though, as quarterbacks have been able to exploit coverage schemes to take off when passing lanes are not there. Of the 499 yards given up, opposing quarterbacks have gained 112 of them. Even Philip Rivers had a 12-yard run.

Rodgers has those same wily instincts, but stopping Jones will be a chore. The good news for the Lions is that they will likely be able to do so out of a base defense as opposed to against Kansas City where they primarily operated out of nickel and dime defenses to counteract the Chiefs' speed.
Packers pass offense vs Lions pass defense
Just a reminder that even at age 35, Rodgers is still capable of many, many things in the passing game.
This is absolute silliness pic.twitter.com/VlzT2iGbiQ
— Peter Bukowski (@Peter_Bukowski) October 6, 2019
Blitzing Rodgers is still not entirely advisable as he has completed 66.7 percent of his passes (26 for 39) for 396 yards and a pair of touchdowns without an interception. His overall completion percentage of 62.8 is somewhat misleading because there are usually a handful of incompletions every game that come as a by-product of his refusal to throw a ball that could intercepted.
The challenge for this game is again playing without Davante Adams, who will miss his second straight game due to turf toe. Nine different players caught at least one pass versus Dallas, and that balance will likely carry over into this contest.
When stacked side-by-side compared to last season, the new run-pass balance means that the Packers are essentially calling one more running play per every four plays. Rodgers' pass attempts are down slightly at 36 this season compared to 37.3 in 2018, but he is also getting sacked significantly less at 5.2 percent of his dropbacks compared to 7.5 percent last season.
"I like the way we're going and I'm not going to put a timetable on when everybody is going to feel totally comfortable," Rodgers said on Brett Favre's SiriusXM show, according to Pro Football Talk. "I'm just going to say that I've seen progress since Week 1 where we struggled and Week 2 we came out and played a little better. Three and then four, you know, we got the passing game going and a couple of days ago we got the run game really rolling."
The Lions are similar to the Packers in the sense their secondary does a standout job in frustrating receivers. There are few times one can say a secondary won the battle while giving up 315 passing yards, but in holding Patrick Mahomes without a touchdown pass, the Lions had a chance to pull out a win.

While the yardage amount may be unsightly at 280.8 per game, the Lions have not allowed an opposing quarterback to complete 60 percent of his passes. Detroit has also yielded just four TD passes overall, but the concern is a pass rush that has generated just nine sacks and may struggle to get to Rodgers given his ability to both escape trouble and throw it away from danger.
"I think you guys know me well enough to know that I'm extremely competitive,"Patricia said. "I want to win and everything I do I try to make sure I do it to the best of my abilities.
"But when you're staring across the line of scrimmage at Aaron Rodgers, you know you've got a long day of work in front of you."
Rodgers is 13-5 against Detroit and has completed 66% of his passes against them to go with a 109 quarterback rate in his career since 2008.
"Man, he's just another one of those dynamic quarterbacks that can beat you multiple ways," Lions linebacker Devon Kennard said. "So try to contain him, not let him extend plays because I think he's one of, if not the best, at extending plays and having come choreography with his receivers where they know what to do and he knows where to place it.
"Try to do that and it starts there. And then put pressure on him and the (defensive backs) covering the guys."
Special Teams and Other Things
Patricia won coming out of the bye week last season, winning at Miami. The Lions coach appears to be finding his stride after an up-and-down rookie campaign and looks comfortable with each passing game.
Matt Prater has converted five of his last six field goal attempts and all six of his PATs in the last two games. Jamal Agnew continues to be the only player to return a kickoff for a touchdown through the first five weeks but could be hard-pressed to find an opportunity for a runback with Packers kicker Mason Crosby recording touchbacks on 19 of 26 kickoffs.
Lions punter Sam Martin has proven effective with eight of his 20 punts going inside the opponents' 20-yard line against just two touchbacks. Martin, though, has recorded just eight touchbacks on 23 kickoffs.
Much like Patricia, LaFleur continues to show an upward trajectory in his coaching acumen. He showed excellent resiliency in his play-calling against Dallas after admitting his shortcomings in the Week 4 loss to Philadelphia when it could have been very easy to just lean on Rodgers.
JK Scott has been booming his punts, averaging 48.3 yards and putting 12 of his 29 efforts inside the opposing 20-yard line while netting 44.1. Green Bay's punt return game has been non-existent with one total yard on eight returns, and the kickoff return game has not been much better with Tremon Smith getting just three opportunities and totaling 68 yards.
ONTO THE PICKS!
*****5-Star Picks*****
Packers +3/OVER 40 points teaser (-110)
Aaron Jones OVER 31.5 receiving yards (-114)
The Packers have scored 27 or more points in three straight games, something that had not happened since Weeks 3 through 5 of the 2017 season. There is confidence in both quarterbacks to deliver points, and a total of 40 with the expectation both teams will score at least 20 points makes this an easy teaser with the home team getting a field goal.
The expectation is with Detroit's secondary doing well to cover Valdes-Scantling and Allison when he lines up wide that Jones will be targeted early and often by Rodgers on checkdowns and the occasional wheel route. Rodgers has looked Jones' way 15 times the last two games, and the pair have connected 13 times.
****4-Star Picks****
Packers -3.5 (-105)
OVER 46.5 points (-110)
While both teams have good pass defenses, both teams also have good quarterbacks who have found success against the opponents over the years. This will be a good test for the Packers revamped pass rush as well as Bevell's offense, and in the opposite direction for LaFleur and Rodgers against a sneaky-good Lions secondary.
Both teams should be able to find success on the ground, and if that happens, the play action becomes a fare more effective weapon. That increases big-play potential, something both Rodgers and Stafford can deliver.
Packers OVER 12.5 points 1st half (-115)
There was some temptation to take the Packers giving only one-half point in the first quarter at even money since they have outscored opponents 42-3 in the first 15 minutes, but there is as much — if not more confidence — in Rodgers directing two touchdown drives in the first half. Green Bay has scored 17 or more points in the first half of its last four games.
***3-Star Picks***
Kerryon Johnson OVER 72.5 rushing yards (-114)
Geronimo Allison OVER 47.5 receiving yards (-114)
Allison is more of a gamble, but the feeling is LaFleur will play to his strength and line him up in the slot more often than out wide, and he will able to get more of his yards on underneath routes. It is a low-risk gamble, though, when one considers it could take just one go pattern to hit this number — and Rodgers can certainly deliver a deep ball.
Packers -2.5 first half (-115)
The Packers have been a solid first-half team, leading on four occasions and trailing by one point in the fifth. They have led at intermission in both matchups versus NFC North teams. Detroit also has been strong in the first two quarters, leading in three of its four games and both times on the road. The hedge, though, is the Packers are able to eke out a lead with better offensive efficiency.
OVER 23 points first half (-110)
The appeal comes with the total being a full point below a TD+FG total of 24, and with the big-play potential of both quarterbacks, the over is worth a flyer. The Lions have scored 37 points in the first half of their two road games while the Packers have averaged 16.4 points in the first two quarters.

The tiny country of Rwanda is now producing factory-fresh Volkswagen cars from its rolling hills. Next up are ride-hailing and public car-sharing services by the German carmaker.
These powerful words were by Rwanda's president Paul Kagame in a speech delivered at the launch of the Volkswagen (VW) assembly plant late June in the country.
The German carmaker, which now has a presence on the rolling hills of the Kigali Special Economic Zone, is the first international automobile giant to invest in Rwanda.
It will have a capacity to produce up to 5,000 cars with a starting price of $23,000.
President Kagame observed that Africans deserve better and this is one way of showing how they can afford it.
For this to be achieved, he underscored the need to shift from the logic of competition to one of cooperation but also fuse the two "because when they are put together, everyone gains".
Thomas Schaefer, the Chairman of VW Group South Africa, revealed that opening an assembly plant in Rwanda aligns with the firm's strategy to strengthen regions, focusing on new and upcoming markets.
Schaefer admitted there are challenges but emphasized the project is bound to succeed.
"Having worked with emerging markets for a large part of my career, I can categorically say that Rwanda stands out as a country where it is about what we can do to make a project work rather than listing all the obstacles as to why something would not work," he said in an interview to CNBC Africa.
VW joins Rwanda's market at a time when the country is conducting the 'Made in Rwanda' program to support local industries and promote consumption of locally-made products.
Economic analyst Kenneth Agutamba believes VW's entry into Rwanda lays the groundwork for other brands to tap into the market.
"It's a big win. Every time a major international brand gets into a country, it boosts the confidence of other potential investors," he tells FORBES AFRICA.
He adds that the investment is an opportunity for job creation in the country.
He explains that although Rwanda is a smaller market and landlocked, it has security, and political and economic stability, among other factors rare on the rest of the continent.
"It can be a base where major brands can build their headquarters but targeting the markets around it," he says.
Clare Akamanzi, CEO of the Rwanda Development Board, hailed the development as a very important step and a new chapter.
"The fact that Volkswagen took time to study Rwanda and found it a good business case we can invest in here, means a lot for us. It's something that shows feasibility of such business that can thrive in Rwanda and we expect other companies to emulate," she told CNBC Africa.
Starting next year, the company will also offer ride-hailing and public car-sharing services under the Mobility Solutions program.
Lionel Mpfizi, CEO of AwesomityLab, a local company hired to provide a mobility solution platform commended VW for its openness to local companies in an interview with CNBC Africa.
"We are very happy that VW is open to work with local companies to achieve what they want to achieve. There's something we are bringing to the table if we are local: we have the understanding, we know the clients and we are the clients," said Mpfizi.

Fox News is OUTRAGED that President Biden Secured the Release of Brittney Griner
On Thursday morning President Biden made a long anticipated announcement from the White House. The United States had successfully negotiated the release of WNBA star, Brittney Griner, from her illegitimate incarceration in Russia.
This news has been received by the family and the nation with great joy, relief, and gratitude. Biden made the announcement along with Griner's wife, Cherelle, who also spoke movingly (video below). However, that national sense of pride and appreciation was not shared by the hateful heretics of Fox News, where their anti-patriotic compulsion always supersedes what's best for America.
RELATED: Fox News' Anti-American Hopes Get Crushed By Massive Job Growth Under Biden
The highest priority of the Fox News editorial staff is to always frame anything that Biden does as a catastrophe. In keeping with that "America Last" narrative, the cretins at Fox reported Griner's freedom with a string of noxious and negative stories that focused on whatever bad news they could muster.
For instance, the top headline on their website read "Biden's 'Merchant of Death' exchange for WNBA star leaves behind Marine veteran — again." The opening paragraph complained that "President Biden's prisoner exchange with Russia secured the release of WNBA star Brittney Griner on Thursday but left U.S. Marine veteran Paul Whelan in Russian custody." That was followed by equally disparaging headlines:
NFL star torches Biden over Griner prisoner swap: 'Still not voting for you!'
Brittney Griner prisoner swap 'bittersweet' as Paul Whelan remains detained in Russia
'MERCHANT OF DEATH': Why Putin wants arms dealer swapped for Griner back in Russia
Biden slammed for swapping Russian 'Merchant of death' for WNBA's Griner
The story featuring Biden being "slammed" for having brought Griner home, was typically populated by quotes from his most fervent and ignorant critics. They included…
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy: Biden just got taken to the woodshed on this deal. This has to go down as the most lopsided trade in the history of trades. […] feels like a short sighted PR stunt.
Sports journalist Jason Whitlock: Help me wrap my mind around this Griner-for-Death trade. Feels like one of the lowest points in US foreign policy history?
Ron DeSantis press secretary Christina Pushaw: Biden just created an incentive for foreign countries to arrest more Americans to get more sweet deals like this.
Jim Geraghty, National Review: And all it cost the U.S. was putting the world's most notorious arms dealer … back on the metaphorical streets.
That's the wretched tenor of Fox's reporting throughout their coverage of this story. For the record, the Russian arms dealer Biden traded for Griner, Victor Bout, had served about half his 25 year sentence. He is now 55 years old, and when returned to Russia will remain a convicted pariah who will not be able to travel the world resuming his previous profession.
What's more, Biden did not neglect the fate of the other Russian hostage, Paul Whelan. He spoke about him in his White House address saying that…
"We never forgot about Brittney. We have not forgotten about Paul Whelan. […] And while we have not yet succeeded in getting Paul's release, we are not giving up. We will never give up."
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said nothing about this welcome news. However, his foul offspring, Donnie Jr, weighed in with his own predictably nauseating thoughts on the matter, wherein he viscously smeared Griner…
"No one cuts better deals than Biden. We get an awful America hating WNBA player, while Russia gets an INTERNATIONAL ARMS DEALER!!! The adults are back!"
No one cuts better deals than Biden. We get an awful America hating WNBA player, while Russia gets an INTERNATIONAL ARMS DEALER!!! The adults are back! https://t.co/zPMKzuB2SA
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) December 8, 2022
Leave it to the Trumps and Fox News to find the grossness in any bit of good news if it can be distorted to reflect poorly on Biden or any other Democrat. Their obsessive anti-Americanism is evident in everything they do. Which shouldn't surprise anyone who has heard Trump advocating to "terminate" the U.S. Constitution.
SEE THIS: Trump Literally Calls for Termination of the Constitution and FREAKS OUT Over Bogus Fox News Story
UPDATE: Trump has posted his unfailingly offensive view of the Griner news. And true to hideous form, he ignorantly criticized the deal and maligned Griner as "a basketball player who openly hates our Country." Then he asked "Why wasn't former Marine Paul Whelan included in this totally one-sided transaction? He would have been let out for the asking. What a 'stupid' and unpatriotic embarrassment for the USA!!!"
Note that Whelan got a "bad conduct" discharge from the Marines for larceny and dereliction of duty. That, of course, doesn't mean that we shouldn't still work for his release. But if Russia would have released him "for the asking," then why didn't Trump ask, since Whalen was arrested in Russian in 2018, during Trump's occupation of the White House. "Stupid and unpatriotic" indeed.
Tune in as I deliver an important announcement. https://t.co/2BVdSsmIFA

Walmart expresses disappointment over India's revised FDI norms for e-commerce companies
by The-digital-buyer February 23, 2019 April 6, 2019 2 64327
Walmart had acquired 77 per cent stake in Flipkart for about $16 billion in August last year.
Looks like not everyone is quite happy with the recent changes in India's FDI policy for e-commerce firms! US retail major Walmart has expressed its disappointment over the recent changes and said that it was hopeful of a collaborative regulatory process which results in a level-playing field.
The retailing giant that has recently invested USD 16 billion in the Indian e-commerce company Flipkart, said that the changed norms have however not deterred the company's confidence. Walmart said that it was optimistic about the e-commerce opportunities in India.
The Indian government has tightened the norms for e-commerce firms having FDI holdings. The new rules which were made effective from February 1 prevent online marketplaces like Flipkart and Amazon from selling products of such companies in which they have a stake. The new norms also put a ban on making exclusive marketing arrangements to influence the price of products.
"The things that have happened have been disappointing in some ways, but they haven't shaken our confidence and excitement about what this is going to mean to the company long term", media reports quoted Executive Officer and Director C Douglas McMillon as saying during a meeting with analysts.
"And this isn't a story about one quarter or even one year. We hope to have an effective, productive dialogue as it relates to future changes that happen. But in terms of how the business has behaved, it's in line with what we thought it would be," he added.
He also expressed that the company was hopeful of working with the Indian government for pro-growth policies that will lead to the development and prosperity of the domestic manufacturers, farmers, and suppliers that benefit from the e commerce industry.
Talking about whether the recent regulatory changes will influence Walmart's investment posture in India, McMillon said that the company was still excited about the market.
"All the reasons we cited for going into India and acquiring Flipkart, when you look at the continued e-commerce growth in India, the size of the market, the growing middle class, all those things are still as true today as they were six months ago. So the reasons we're excited about the market are still there", he was quoted as saying.
Walmart had acquired 77 percent stake in Flipkart for about $16 billion in August last year. The deal paved way for the US retailer in the Indian e commerce market.

currently I'm just thinking about combining primitives like mentioned above (AES, HMAC, etc) to create a secured communication for my embedded devices but can this be done or should one really try to avoid this? If this should be avoided are there other protocols like TLS which could do what I want?
Designing your own crypto protocol (using existing primitives) is dangerous if you're not sufficiently familiar with cryptographic protocol design and the ways such protocols might be attacked.
If you wish to gain such familiarity, I'd recommend taking a few introductory crypto courses that focus on protocol design and analysis.* This won't turn you overnight into an experienced protocol designer, but it should at least give you some idea of how much you actually (don't) know about the subject.
Also, regardless of you own skill level, a critical part of designing a secure communications protocol is to get other experienced cryptographers to review it and look for ways to attack it. Even the most skilled cryptographers can make mistakes and overlook potential attacks, so it's essential to have as many eyeballs on the system as possible. To paraphrase Bruce Schneier, anyone can design a cryptosystem which they cannot break — what's hard is designing something that others cannot break, either.
This is also one of the main reasons to go for existing standard solutions whenever possible: they've already been subject to more scrutiny by skilled cryptographers than your home-brewed protocol is likely to receive in any reasonable time. Thus, by leveraging existing standard protocols and implementations, you get to enjoy the benefits of this pre-existing third-party scrutiny.
As for TLS specifically, I'd say that it's a good choice in general, but hardly perfect; its major weakness is its complexity, which makes it hard to analyze thoroughly, and easy to make mistakes in implementing it. Using an existing, thoroughly reviewed implementation helps, but even widely used TLS implementations have been known to carry unfixed bugs for a long time. Especially on constrained platforms, where the complexity and overhead of TLS may be problematic in themselves, a well written and reviewed custom protocol may sometimes be a better choice than TLS — but it all depends on how carefully the protocol has been designed and implemented.
*) I'm probably not the best person to recommend any specific courses, but in general terms, I've heard good things about Dan Boneh's Crypto I and II on Coursera, for example. There are also several decent books on the subject, but again, I hesitate to give any specific recommendations for lack of personal familiarity.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged protocol-design tls or ask your own question.
Is what i'm trying to do safe?
