Galileo's legacy: Catholicism, Copernicanism, and conflict resolution
Science and Religion: A Very Short Introduction
By Thomas Dixon
Four hundred years ago on 26 February 1616, Galileo Galilei was ordered by the Catholic Church to abandon his promotion of Copernican theory due to its perceived contradiction with certain biblical passages. His adherence to Copernicanism would later lead to his arrest for heresy. This famous historical conflict of ideas has been used by many as an example of the natural antagonism between scientific thought and organised religion, but is it that simple? In the extract below, Thomas Dixon explores the complex and often contradictory relationship between these two major powers in his book Science and Religion: A Very Short Introduction.
In Rome on 22 June 1633 an elderly man was found guilty by the Catholic Inquisition of rendering himself "vehemently suspected of heresy, namely, of having held and believed a doctrine which is false and contrary to the divine and Holy Scripture". The doctrine in question was that "the sun is the centre of the world and does not move from east to west, that the earth moves and is not the centre of the world, and that one may hold and defend as probable an opinion after it has been declared and defined as contrary to Holy Scripture". The guilty man was the 70-year-old Florentine philosopher Galileo Galilei, who was sentenced to imprisonment (a punishment that was later commuted to house arrest) and instructed to recite the seven penitential Psalms once a week for the next three years as a 'salutary penance'. That included a weekly recitation of the particularly apt line addressed to God in Psalm 102: "In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands" Kneeling before the 'Reverend Lord Cardinals, Inquisitors-General', Galileo accepted his sentence, swore complete obedience to the 'Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church', and declared that he cursed and detested the 'errors and heresies' of which he had been suspected – namely belief in a sun-centred cosmos and in the movement of the earth.
It is hardly surprising that this humiliation of the most celebrated scientific thinker of his day by the Catholic Inquisition on the grounds of his beliefs about astronomy and their contradiction of the Bible should have been interpreted by some as evidence of an inevitable conflict between science and religion. The modern encounter between evolutionists and creationists has also seemed to reveal an on-going antagonism, although this time with science, rather than the church, in the ascendancy. The Victorian agnostic Thomas Huxley expressed this idea vividly in his review of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859).
"Extinguished theologians lie about the cradle of every science as the strangled snakes beside that of Hercules; and history records that whenever science and orthodoxy have been fairly opposed, the latter has been forced to retire from the lists, bleeding and crushed if not annihilated; scotched, if not slain."
The image of conflict has also been attractive to some religious believers, who use it to portray themselves as members of an embattled but righteous minority struggling heroically to protect their faith against the oppressive and intolerant forces of science and materialism.

Although the idea of warfare between science and religion remains widespread and popular, recent academic writing on the subject has been devoted primarily to undermining the notion of an inevitable conflict. As we shall see, there are good historical reasons for rejecting simple conflict stories. From Galileo's trial in 17th-century Rome to modern American struggles over the latest form of anti-evolutionism, known as 'Intelligent Design', there has been more to the relationship between science and religion than meets the eye, and certainly more than just conflict. Pioneers of early modern science such as Isaac Newton and Robert Boyle saw their work as part of a religious enterprise devoted to understanding God's creation. Galileo too thought that science and religion could exist in mutual harmony. The goal of a constructive and collaborative dialogue between science and religion has been endorsed by many Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the modern world. The idea that scientific and religious views are inevitably in tension is also contradicted by the large numbers of religious scientists who continue to see their research as a complement rather than a challenge to their faith, including the theoretical physicist John Polkinghorne, the former director of the Human Genome Project Francis S. Collins, and the astronomer Owen Gingerich, to name just a few.
Does that mean that conflict needs to be written out of our story altogether? Certainly not. The only thing to avoid is too narrow an idea of the kinds of conflicts one might expect to find between science and religion. The story is not always one of a heroic and open-minded scientist clashing with a reactionary and bigoted church. The bigotry, like the open-mindedness, is shared around on all sides – as are the quest for understanding, the love of truth, the use of rhetoric, and the compromising entanglements with the power of the state. Individuals, ideas, and institutions can and have come into conflict, or been resolved into harmony, in an endless array of different combinations.'

There is more to this: Kepler had published in 1609 his first two laws:
– planets orbit in ellipses round the sun at a focus
– the line from the sun to the planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times His third relating average distance from the sun to periodic time was published in 1619.

Robert Poole 16th November 2019
The conflict was not simple or absolute, but Galileo was not planning to burn his critics alive, which is what faced him if he failed to back down. Introduce that into today's debates and we'll see how robust some of these carefully nuanced arguments are.

Dow Decimated Despite Fed Rate Cut
It was the Fed's first emergency action between meetings since the 2008 financial crisis

All three indexes turned in losses of 2% or more
Stocks were trounced once again today, even after the emergency efforts from the Federal Reserve. Despite a triple-digit surge out of the gate this morning, the Dow finished 786 points lower, exacerbating its losses after the central bank cut interest rates by half a percentage point in an effort to aid slower economic growth amid the coronavirus outbreak. Meanwhile, the 10-year treasury yield dipped below 1% for the first time ever.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both closed deep in the red, and all three benchmarks logged losses of 2% or more. The Fed's decision to step in comes two weeks before a scheduled meeting, the first time emergency action has been taken between scheduled meetings since the 2008 financial crisis.

About White Bread
How did white bread, once an icon of American progress, become "white trash"? In this lively history of bakers, dietary crusaders, and social reformers, Aaron Bobrow-Strain shows us that what we think about the humble, puffy loaf says a lot about who we are and what we want our society to look like.
White Bread teaches us that when Americans debate what one should eat, they are also wrestling with larger questions of race, class, immigration, and gender. As Bobrow-Strain traces the story of bread, from the first factory loaf to the latest gourmet pain au levain, he shows how efforts to champion "good food" reflect dreams of a better society—even as they reinforce stark social hierarchies.
In the early twentieth century, the factory-baked loaf heralded a bright new future, a world away from the hot, dusty, "dirty" bakeries run by immigrants. Fortified with vitamins, this bread was considered the original "superfood" and even marketed as patriotic—while food reformers painted white bread as a symbol of all that was wrong with America.
The history of America's one-hundred-year-long love-hate relationship with white bread reveals a lot about contemporary efforts to change the way we eat. Today, the alternative food movement favors foods deemed ethical and environmentally correct to eat, and fluffy industrial loaves are about as far from slow, local, and organic as you can get. Still, the beliefs of early twentieth-century food experts and diet gurus, that getting people to eat a certain food could restore the nation's decaying physical, moral, and social fabric, will sound surprisingly familiar. Given that open disdain for "unhealthy" eaters and discrimination on the basis of eating habits grow increasingly acceptable, White Bread is a timely and important examination of what we talk about when we talk about food.

Conclusion Beyond Good Bread


Darci and Kyle were the first brave souls to meet me along my epic west coast road trip. They drove down to Portland and made an adventure of it, and for that I'm truly grateful. They went out of their way, made a journey out of their plans, and found me on the rainy coast of Oregon for a truly stunning session. We were texting each other, from inside one car to the other. We wasted some time, stopped at a classic NW drive up coffee stand for our morning fix, and tried to turn our nerves into confidence. The rain wasn't letting up, so we made the most of it and went running through the storm.
Grateful to have met these two + discovered our confidence amongst the rain.

In partnership with Philips, the Kampung Terang Hemat Energi (Bright Energy Saving Villages) initiative is working towards providing 1,200 solar lighting technologies in North Sumatra, Central Kalimantan, East Bali and Maluku in 2017-2018.
While Indonesia's electrification ratio stood at 88 percent last year according to PLN- Indonesia's state-owned electricity supplier - power remains limited and does not reach the most remote regions of the country. People living in the last mile often lack access to the PLN supply and rely on alternative lighting solutions, such as kerosene lamps which can be dangerous as they emit toxic smoke and increase risk of fire.
Through this initiative, Kopernik will assist in the distribution of 1,200 Philips solar home systems and solar energy-based road lights in North Sumatra, East Bali, Central Kalimantan and Maluku. Kopernik works towards lighting up last mile unelectrified villages through safer, affordable and cleaner alternative solutions.
Through the distribution of cleaner, cost-saving and risk-reducing alternative energy to last mile communities, Kopernik anticipates improved productivity through longer studying and business hours, and safer environments.


There are grown men in our society who are nothing short of creepy. It's these educators who regularly get behind closed doors, tell a cute teenage girl to expose her backside to him in a vulnerable way, and he spanks her with a paddle. We should do a public opinion poll and see what America as a whole thinks of these creepy men. Then, again educators who paddle kids have no pride. They don't care what people think of them. These men bring girl's to tears, and they rejoice, proud of their accomplishments. If a girl complains about the pain these creeps are causing, these men show their true colors. They threaten to beat her more with the paddle. In states where school corporal punishment is still legal. There are no laws to protect girls from these monsters. The laws protect the potential perverts.
If you disagree with me and my colleagues, we challenge you to a debate. We have the means to video tape the debate and post it on you-tube. All educators who paddle and their supporters will not debate us. They are pure cowards. They know the arguments they use to keep this barbaric, primitive means of discipline alive are intellectually bankrupt.
TEACHERS WHO PADDLE is a creepy website. Four women operate this site. These women are evil. They use fake names on the internet. I want to know their real names, and expose them to the media. They've given some description of themselves online. One is a short woman with Auburn hair. She claims to be an assistant principal in a middle school. The other is an attractive woman. She teachers either the 4th or 5th grade. I think she is a blond. She claims to be a former cheerleader at the University of Alabama. Her Daddy is wealthy, and she is married to a doctor. Both, are employed in a school district in Georgia. Please, let me know if you know who these evil woman are.


Two seconds were enough for James Bond emplacasse a Sunglass model, at least among readers of the Male Canal. As soon as the trailer of 007 Against Spectre had been released and had six emails asking about the origin of the piece.
Actually the sunglasses Gomez in the face of the actor Daniel Craig and your slightly differentiated design still must call attention of many men, especially fans of eyewear.
The brand responsible for the piece is the same on both the actor and the character: Tom Ford. It is possible to recognize the authorship by the hinges of a T-shaped metal lying on the side of the frame at the time of the stems. Searching the internet to find a more detailed picture of the product, including the designer's signature on the lens, see below.
The sunglasses in question is called Snowdown (800Zipcodes.com), is available in 5 colors and costs $390 on the official website of designer Tom Ford, but in Brazil can be found for 700 reais, on average.
Enjoy to see the trailer of 007 Against Spectre, the glasses appear only at 2 minutes and 6 seconds.
Note: if you want to find online shops selling these glasses use "Tom Ford" Snowdown in the search.

It's not the most original piece of work out there, but the chemistry and characterization between these two is what really kept it fresh and exciting and had us invested in what happened to these guys. Good review.

US President Donald Trump signs a document reinstating sanctions against Iran on May 8, 2018.
'Game of Thrones' stars Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams took to Twitter on November 2 to go against Donald Trump for using a meme of their show to promote sanctions for Iran.
The new deal that the United States is offering blocks forever Iran's path to nuclear weapons, enjoins upon it to give up its ballistic missiles programme and end "malign activities", which Americans use to describe Tehran's alleged support for terrorism, in the region. Any country importing Iranian oil that does not receive a waiver will be subject to US financial penalties.
The students believed the USA would launch a counter-coup to return deposed shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to power - similar to the CIA-backed coup that overthrew Iran's elected government in 1953 - unaware that the king was already critically ill with cancer. Iran is the world's No. 3 oil exporter. Both Turkey and Iraq have announced that they have been notified they will be exempted from the sanctions.
Although precise figures are rarely available in the notoriously opaque oil market, most analysts say Iran's exports dropped from around 2.5 million barrels per day in April to roughly 1.6 million in October. These sanctions hit at core areas of Iran's economy.
India and South Korea were also on the list, said a source familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Mnuchin warned that SWIFT will be subject to US sanctions if it provides financial messaging services to designated Iranian financial institutions. However, Washington has granted waivers to eight countries to keep buying Iranian oil after sanctions come into effect.
Mnuchin said today that SWIFT "would be subject to USA sanctions if it provides financial messaging services to certain designated Iranian financial institutions" and that the U.S.
Most of them. Pompeo said Friday the administration will grant temporary waivers to eight countries that have "demonstrated significant reductions in crude oil and cooperation on many other fronts and have made important moves toward getting to zero crude oil importation". It has announced plans for a legal framework through which firms can skirt USA sanctions, although few major corporations have been eager to risk the wrath of penalties in the world's largest economy.
He said those countries, which other officials said would include US allies such as Turkey, Italy, India, Japan and South Korea, had made efforts to eliminate their imports but could not complete the task by Monday.
Diplomats told Reuters last week that the new European Union mechanism to facilitate payments for Iranian exports should be legally in place by November 4 but not operational until early next year.
If the USA does in the end follow through on its strongest threats, choking off Iranian supplies entirely, that spare capacity could be completely exhausted, leaving nearly nothing left to cover unexpected disruptions in other trouble spots. Pompeo said: "Every effort is aimed at giving the Iranian people the government that they not only want but deserve".

How the lessons we teach stick for life
This year during the holidays, my wife Bridget and I realized that we have reached a stage where very soon, we are going to be the two shortest people in the house. Our two older sons are now well over six feet tall and soon will surpass me in height and tower over their mom. It just a matter of time until our youngest will hit his growth spurt as he turns 10 this year. We stopped to wonder where the last 15 years have gone, and realized in another 15, there is a good chance that we will be spending Christmas with grandchildren.
We reminisced about when our kids were toddlers – it's hard to imagine that they were ever so small. That said, it's the experiences they had at such a young age that make them into the kind, considerate and caring young men the are now.
The lessons we teach stick for life.
When my oldest son Brennan was four years old, we went shopping at the mall a few days before Christmas. Four is the age where your child is still filled with wonder and longing, and yet still holds their parents in the highest regards. It is a magical age, where you watch your little one grow and interact with the world around them in the most enjoyable ways. As a parent, few ages are more fun.
There is a dark side to having a four-year-old, however. It is when you make your first real parenting mistakes that you come to regret. I'm not sure what possessed me to think that a trip, days before Christmas, with an excited four-year-old, to a place in which every single storefront was essentially the modern version of the wicked witch's gingerbread cottage from Hansel and Gretel was a good idea. Every store in that mall was designed to lure children in so parents would be forced to spend gobs of money on toys in order to leave with happy children.
My nightmare parenting moment began when Brennan was taken by the siren call of a two-foot tall Superman action figure, that cost $25, in the window of one such store. He absolutely begged me to buy it for him. When I gently said no, he had a breakdown of near epic proportions that only a four-year-old, days from Christmas, could pull in a highly public place.
Once he finally calmed down, realizing that there was no way in heck I was going to buy him the toy, I saw this as a great opportunity to teach him about saving money and working towards a goal. I told him that he could buy it himself, if he worked to earn money and saved enough. Strangely, this seemed to settle him right down. He asked me what he could do, and we set him up with small chores around the house for which he could earn 25 cents each.
January flew buy and our little capitalist became quite the household helper. He'd put dishes away. He'd vacuum a floor. He'd ask to go visit his grandfather since "Papa would give him money." By the beginning of March, Brennan had accumulated the $25 to buy his beloved toy.
Together, we excitedly drove to the mall with a small zip-lock bag of his money, which he was very proud to have earned by working. We walked into the mall…
…and the store was gone. Yep. Closed down, out of business, and gone for good, along with the really super cool Superman toy.
it was an epic parenting fail. All that was left was a heart-broken four-year-old with $25.
Our saving grace was that Zellers in the mall was having a massive toy sale and Brennan was able to grab a pile of discounted Diego the explorer toys with his $25. He left the mall relatively happy, albeit somewhat bitter that a toy store had gone out of business. On my part, I was just thankful that he wasn't mad at me for making him work for something only to have it be gone forever.
That said, over a decade later, my son has become a chronic saver; he works hard to put money away. Despite the early disappointment, he has developed a mindset for saving that is going to be a huge asset for life. Likewise, his brothers both do the same – in fact, our middle son, Liam, recently managed to save up $500 by the age of 13 to purchase a specialized drawing tablet for his animation work. He's immensely proud of his accomplishment, as are we.
We've also realized that it's not just that lessons learned at a young age about saving, but its also many other things as well. Our kids have become compassionate and generous young men. Part of that learning was from having them give away some of their toys each year at Christmas to a local women and children's shelter. While that was a tough thing for them to do at the age of four or five, it helped open their eyes to the world around them and to the fact that sometimes others have greater need than they do.
Who were your inspirations?
I would love to hear from you, our readers, as to who inspired you to become a saver or a giver at a young age and how that inspired the way you look at the world today. If we have enough people, I'd love to put together a newsletter sharing your stories later this year.
Drop me a line at ryan@quietlegacy.com with your stories. And, who knows? Maybe together we can help write the sequel to Driven By Purpose with stories about people who have inspired us in our lives.

Classic Limestone Townhouse Near Prospect Park With Deck and Garden Asks $2.95 Million
May 14, 2018 • 02:59pm
by Douglas Hatt
Sponsored By Douglas Elliman
Brooklyn real estate is thriving and Douglas Elliman, New York's largest brokerage, continues to deepen its roots in the booming borough.
Created By Brownstoner LLC
This four-story single-family home less than two blocks from Prospect Park has classic details but is thoroughly modern. It was built circa 1899 and designed by the architect Robert Dixon, who is responsible for a good number of Brooklyn homes, in the Romanesque Revival style.
The bow-fronted limestone townhouse at 97 Rutland Road features a dog-leg stoop and metal cornice with a bow-and-swag frieze. Inside, the original details have been retained and polished, while bathrooms, kitchens and lighting have been harmoniously modernized.
On the parlor floor is the heart of the home, featuring a gracious living room with decorative mantel with mirror, restored and painted woodwork, pocket doors, and original inlaid parquet floors in excellent condition. The rear parlor houses a gorgeous new open kitchen with space for dining, all overlooking a deck and garden through floor-to-ceiling steel windows and doors.
The thoughtfully designed kitchen has plentiful custom-built cabinets and an island with Carrara marble counters and backsplash. Appliances include a Liebherr fridge, Wolf range, and Bosch dishwasher and garbage disposal.
On the garden level are a good sized den and a bedroom with its own bath and access to the garden. Between the two rooms there is a bar and butler's pantry, one of many clever storage places in the home. There is also a half-bath on this floor, which could also serve as guest quarters.
The massive master suite takes up an entire floor and includes a spacious bedroom with a bay window, a stained glass window and a mantel. It has a walk-in closet and an opulent bathroom with a two-headed rain shower, clawfoot cast iron tub and two sinks. There is also a small nursery/home office on this floor.
On the top floor of the house are two more large bedrooms, each with their own mantel and walk-in closet. On this floor is also a large laundry room with skylight and sink, a bathroom, and a study (or potential fifth bedroom).
The house, which has approximately 4,000 square feet of living space, is about five blocks from Prospect Park and the B, Q and S trains at the Prospect Park station. It's about seven blocks from the 2 and 5 trains at the Sterling stop. It's near some of the most popular attractions in Prospect Park, including the LeFrak Center and its popular ice skating and boating.
Listed by Alexander Maroni and Lina Chen of Douglas Elliman, the home is asking $2.95 million.

"Having used Supagard products over the past few years an a wide variety of road, race and rally cars we at IN Racing have a new perspective on the values of paint protection and cleaning.
The ease and effectiveness of cleaning using the Aqua Free on a race, or rally, car treated with Supagard Paint Protection not only saves us lots of time at an event, it actually gives a better finish than the previous time consuming washing and waxing, whilst also protecting the paint over the longer term. Previously tough rubber and oil marks now wipe off.
Under racing conditions a windscreen treated with SupaVision gives greater clarity of vision without the added hassle of daily reapplication of products that we have used in the past.
We have treated open and closed cars using both new and old leather and they stand up to abuse and clean far better than untreated leather."


Getting information from people with learning disabilities about their health is often done through discussions with professionals and carers. The authors of this study wanted to know more about the health problems people with learning disabilities themselves reported and whether there were differences from what their carers' reported.
They explored this by carrying out a secondary analysis of health information provided by people learning disabilities and/or matched carers as part of a health intervention randomised controlled trial using inclusive methodology. They looked at the health information of 98 participants with learning disabilities.
They found that only 68 people, less than three quarters of the participants, said they had someone to talk to about their health. 66 people reported pain (67%) and 17 (18%) said they did not tell anybody when they were in pain. 26 people (27%) said they did not take any pain relief medication.
Looking at the data from the matched carers of 59 of the participants showed that there were a similar number of health problems reported by the participants as by their carers when prompted with specific problems.
Interestingly, participants reported more headaches and allergies, but fewer weight problems than their carers.
The authors conclude that the participants in this small study reported experiencing a lot of health and mental health problems, including pain, and point out that this information is not routinely collected from adults with learning disabilities, either in research or clinical practice.

How organisations conduct their recruitment processes can have a large impact on fair access to the legal profession.These pages outline our best practice guide for training organisations on recruitment. The guide was one of the recommendations in the Fair Access to the Legal Profession report.
Clarification of the various routes to qualification as a solicitor in Scotland.
When should organisations recruit trainees? And, crucially, how should organisations recruit trainees?
A guide on how to create an application form when recruiting staff.
Info on mitigating or extenuating circumstances for certain levels of performance at school or at university.
Many universities now use contextualised data at the point of admission to university.
The ideal scenario is attracting a small number of suitable candidates.
Take these three things into account: data collection, candidate assessment, comparison.
We all have some level of unconscious bias, but how do we overcome it?
We're grateful to the following organisations who have volunteered to help writing the recruitment guides: Adopt an Intern, CMS Cameron McKenna, Maclay Murray and Spens, Shepherd & Wedderburn, the University of Edinburgh, Ledingham Chalmers, Pinsent Masons, the Scottish Young Lawyers Association, Shoosmiths, Standard Life, and the University of Aberdeen.
Support for smaller firms when hiring
We're aware that the biggest legal employers in Scotland may have a HR person or – in some cases – a HR team. Those individuals do sterling work and are often under any number of pressures – from dealing with a large number of applications for a small number of roles through to partners requesting both a more diverse trainee intake and the highest possible academic grades.
However, outside the biggest legal employers, most solicitors do not have a HR team to worry about these things. Any recruitment is done on top of an already busy day job.
We hope to help alleviate these pressures and that these guides can help all in the profession considering recruiting trainees – by outlining pros and cons to recruitment processes, by highlighting best practice, and by emphasising that we sometimes bar people from applying for roles by accident.
We also hope that these guides may be of use to those on the route to qualification so they can better understand the sorts of things legal employers look for, why they look for these things and what applicants can do to stand themselves in the best possible stead.
If you have any questions about the guides or need additional support, please get in touch by emailing careers@lawscot.org.uk


This is pretty ugly if you ask me, especially if you have it next to multiple gang boxes. While competitor Lutron has figured out this problem with their Caseta Pico Remotes I hope eventually Phillips will follow suit with a redesigned model, or at least a holder that can be directly mounted to a single gang box.
In the mean time, here's how you can fix this problem- remove the ugly non-standard wallplate while maintaining the connivence and elegance of the magnetic holder.
Head to your hardware store or Amazon and pickup a Decora blank cover. These are a few bucks depending on which brand you get. They're all the same size.
Pry off the magnets on the rear of the Phillips wallplate holder, then use some adhesive (I used Loctite Power Grab) to glue the magnets to the rear of the Decora blank.
Now simply install the blank into your wall switchbox. In my case I was installing this into a 4 Gang box in a living room. Since my Hue lights were in a fan and had pull chains, I decided to splice and bypass (remove all together) the light switch. If needed, I could switch off the Hue bulbs using the pull chain on the fan itself.
Put in your new Hue Dimmer Switch Decora holder.
Reinstall the switch cover plate.
And finally pop on your Hue Dimmer!
There you go! Now the Hue Dimmer fits nicely with your other switches and it can still come off the wall thanks to the magnets. If I had to do this again, I'd try to better align the magnets on the Decora blank so that the Hue Dimmer attaches more in the center of the wallplate.
I Hope this project helps someone out who is trying to tidy up their Hue Dimmer switches!

Trailers: The Action Comedy Prepper
Global Digital Releasing is debuting the official trailer and poster for Prepper, set for digital release this Tuesday, May 8.
In the same vein as the television show, Doomsday Prepper, Prepper follows James (played by actor Jay Bowdy in his final role) in the midst of his typical suburban life. He commutes to work, teaches school, goes to the gym, picks up the groceries, returns home, eats dinner with his wife and wakes up the next morning to do it all over again. Everything is as it should be, or is it? James begins to take note of the warning signs all around him that seem to point to impending doom and the collapse of society. He decides to prepare for the worst!
But there is just one problem - he has no idea where to start. Enlisting the help of his wife Sarah (Rachel Dee), James embarks on a quest to be ready for anything as they begin to stockpile: food, water, weapons, ammunition and medical supplies.This ultimately leads to a misguided attempt to learn how to shoot and an even more futile attempt to learn martial arts.
Prepper has been the recipient of multiple film festival awards. Awards include: winning Best Feature awards at the Boomtown Film and Music Festival (2017), Hollywood Independent Film Festival (2017) and Fort Worth Indie Film Showcase (2017). It was also an Official Selection at Los Angeles Cinefest, iHolly and the Lionshead Film Festival. Writer/Director Andrew Patterson says that this film is "a call for normal people to wake up and be ready." And, action film fans can respond to Patterson's call-to-arms this week!
The film will be released in North America and 50-plus additional countries. Digital platforms hosting the release include: Amazon Prime, iTunes, Tubi TV, Xbox, Google Play and iFlix. The global release will show in: the U.S., Canada, Belize, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, Israel, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, the U.K., and Russia. Prepper will be available across the globe, this May 8th.

Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, commanded the agency's Curiosity rover to switch to its second computer. The switch will enable engineers to do a detailed diagnosis of a technical issue that has prevented the rover's active computer from storing science and some key engineering data since Sept. 15.
Such awesome news. It's so cool that bad boy keeps rolling and thank goodness people keep funding the exploration.

8. After a few days, the tattoo will begin to form flaky scabs that will fall off on their own. DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH AT YOUR TATTOO. Keep it moisturized and the scabs will slough eventually. Once again, they will be the color of the tattoo. It normally takes 2-4 weeks for a tattoo to completely heal. If you have ANY questions about your healing, please contact one of our artists at +91 77097 49598. Please do not consult your friends about healing issues, as everyone's experience is unique.

In today's day and age, finding any job can be a challenge. Taking this one step further, getting involved with a career that you love may sound like an impossible feat.
No matter if you are fresh out of college or looking to change from one career to the next, you have to focus your time and search efforts on all the right tasks.
Although I have never personally hired a career coach, I have discussed this topic with several professionals who have. Every time, I hear the same thing: this is the greatest decision I ever made as far as my career is concerned.
For more information on the benefits of hiring a career coach, when to do so, and what to expect, I got in touch with Steve Frederick of 1on1 Career Coach.
Before we go any further, you should know that Steve Frederick is one of the top career coaches in the world. If you don't know anything about him, take a closer at his LinkedIn profile. This will give you a pretty clear understanding of why he is considered the cream of the crop in his industry.
1. What are the biggest benefits of hiring a career coach?
2. Do you work with those who are looking to make a career change, or only those who are currently unemployed?
That is often why people come to us. Some just want the next job in their field, but many time, people are looking to do something more meaningful, more lucrative, more challenging, etc.
3. How do you communicate with clients? In person, email, phone?
We serve people from across North America, so many of our clients have never met us in person. We do meet in person with those who are local.
At this point, you should have a better idea of why hiring a career coach can be beneficial to your future.
There are a lot of solid points to take away from Steve's answers, so make sure you dive into the finer details of each one to consider how it pertains to your career.
One of the things that stuck out in my mind is that you can work with a career coach who is not in your local area. In the past, I have heard people complain about not being able to find a local coach. You don't have to worry about this. There are professionals that are more than willing to give you the help you need via phone and/or email.
It doesn't matter if you are looking for a job in your field, a new field, or any field, with the help of a career coach you will find the process more enjoyable. Not to mention the fact that your chance of success goes through the roof.

Rescue/Adoption
Vet Buzz
SF SPCA Merges with Pets Unlimited
The 146-year-old San Francisco SPCA, first animal welfare organization in the nation to adopt a "no-kill" policy for abandoned and surrendered animals, has joined forces with Pets Unlimited, a nonprofit that has been rehabilitating and adopting out cats and dogs for more than 60 years. The merger means clients and the community can now benefit from two state-of-the-art veterinary hospitals and adoption centers, one in Pacific Heights and one in the Mission.
Abandoned and unwanted animals are a burden for any city, but the San Francisco SPCA, though a campaign to address overpopulation, barriers to vet care and behavior issues, has turned the tables to achieve an unprecedented, 91 percent "live release" rate of formerly homeless dogs and cats. And now that SF SPCA and Pets Unlimited are merging, San Francisco can proclaim itself the most humane city in the country.
The merger consolidates management and goals of two veterinary hospitals and their associated adoption centers. The Pets Unlimited Veterinary Hospital at 2343 Fillmore St. in Pacific Heights has been renamed San Francisco SPCA Veterinary Hospital, Pacific Heights Campus, and will continue to operate with the same veterinarians and support staff as before. The SPCA's veterinary hospital at 201 Alabama St. in the Mission District likewise continues to serve its community. Both hospitals provide veterinary services to the public and charity care for pets of low-income residents. In addition, the Pacific Heights campus provides 24-hour emergency services.
The Pets Unlimited and SPCA adoption centers also have combined resources while maintaining their separate locations. The re-branding is intended to eliminate public confusion, increase awareness and further the shared mission of ending animal abandonment in the city by the year 2020. According to the SF SPCA, the merger is expected to lead to 1,000 additional adoptions each year.
Each SF SPCA campus boasts a staff of devoted volunteers, and the Mission Campus offers a range of programs including dog training, animal-assisted therapy, educational programs, behavior consultation and community engagement. For more information, call (415) 554-3000 or go to sfspca.org to view adoptable animals and make an appointment to meet them.
Want to see for yourself? Here's where to visit:
SF SPCA Pet Adoption Center – Mission Campus
Florida Street, (415) 522-3500. Hours are 1 p.m to 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 6 pm. Saturdays and Sundays. Parking is free.
SF SPCA Pet Adoption Center – Pacific Heights Campus
2343 Fillmore Street, (415) 522-3500, adopt@sfspca.org. Hours are 1 p.m. through 7 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekends.

OOOOOkay, I have to go to Tokyo for the week to meet my fiance and after that the real fun begins with marathon training again. So before all that stuff happens I thought that I'd post where I am on the Minerva as of now. So, it's not finished at all, but it's getting close. If I ever come back and it gets done, I'll throw this image into scraps and render up a spankin new one.
This is the Minerva as featured in Gundam Seed Destiny. It's very much like the Archangel/White Base/Arghama in that it is a mobile suit carrier/battleship, but different in that it is built specifically to function as the mother ship to the Impulse Gundam, as the center catapult below the bridge houses the impulses palette based/modular launch system. It's also capable of sending storable energy via a Deuteron beam to the Impulse (or other suits that have the ability to recharge via that beam). It should be credited as being one of the luckiest ships in Gundam history. I'd personally love to destroy it, but I'll need it for the Freedom vs Impulse animation.
The 3D mesh was made in lightwave but based heavily on the scratch built plastic kit featured in the HOBBY JAPAN magazine (April 2005 ed) with the work done by Junji Funato. His seems to be a little off but it's the best reference that I could find. Also, extra detailed illustrations about the Minerva (specifically the Impulse Gundam's launch decks, the Impulse flyer palettes, Linear Catapult, and proton cannon) are outlined a few pages later in the same magazine. So it's kind of a lucky jackpot. Of course, this image is of the 3D mesh of the Minerva based on the images from the magazine. The scratch built model was done in 1/1200 scale, however, the mesh was created in 1/1 scale, so this model is actually (logically) 350meters long.
Extra detail in the side linear catapults (not the ones for the Impulse, but the ones for the other mobile suits).
Well its not my favorite ship of war, but it still looks great..!!
"It should be credited as being one of the luckiest ships in Gundam history"
It's Great!!!! Have you got the Archangel!?!!
Thank you!! Nice to see you again!
for a wip, it looks amazing...I like your bg is nice, shows off the model well. Cant wait to see it when its finished.
Awesome work so far! The textures and the modeling are great... Hope to see it finished someday!
I hope to see it done someday too n_n. Soon i hope.
hmm, its just stupid of me if i don't say that you're one big perfectionist. then again, in 3D you have to be. if this equals to a sketch, then, damn, can't wait for the full rendered piece.
Thats an amazing desing!! very cool!
You have already done quite a job at this stage and look forward to see what you can come up with the finalised version.
Aweome ship man. You always do impress.
Damnit i spelled awesome wrong.
The texturing looks kinda funny though.. I see patches all over.. I think it's a problem with the stretching of the textures.
no texture stretching, just a fractal texture sitting in the diffuse channel that I didn't get rid of before render time. It's not supposed to be there.
Hopefully it'll look better in the future. thanks again, crusher!
with something like this i've always wondered just what is the degree of acuracy on your technical drawings for the measurements into lightwave?
Thanks Yeah, I wouldn't put much stock into the accuracy of anything that I've made in terms of constructing a replica in real life, but lightwave is capable of pulling out relatively accurate measurements if need be.
ooo handy, though i wonder if the ultimate goal of a modeler/animator is to achive a high level of artistic style of a high level of accuracy, i suppose it depends of the requirements.
It may just be the general shape of the Minerva, but I always thought the "space-shuttle front-end" was way too big, the ship looked hirrbly overbalanced...or at lest designed to seperate into two ships...ya know, escape ship deal.
looks pretty nice though, whats with the wavy pattern all over it?

1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS396 Built by Dick Harrell at SEMA 2013
Classic Industries displays its recent purchase from Barrett-Jackson
Nikolas Kolenichwriter
Unique Camaros are a dime-a-dozen at SEMA in Las Vegas, Nevada, but that doesn't mean their stories aren't worth telling. While we walked the 2013 SEMA show floor last week, we stumbled upon this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro built by Dick Harrell in the Classic Industries booth. What we noticed first were the signatures on the hood, the one-off emblems, and traction bars. This was definitely an F-Body worth stopping to take a closer look at.
Built by "Mr. Chevrolet," Dick Harrell, for the Flying Dutchman funny car crew member, John Penso, this 1969 Chevy Camaro SS396 saw a lot of America. The car was originally sent to Harrell to be modified; it was then driven from Harrell's shop in Kansas City, Missouri, to Penso's home in California. From there, the car raced as a sleeper for years. The "Built by Dick Harrell" emblems stayed in the glove box to fool fellow racers, and the stock hood SS396 hood was replaced with the current Stinger hood when it flew-off at high speeds.
Originally a SS396 car, the Dick Harrell treatment was given to this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro to beef-up its ability to race. An iron-block, 427ci engine was dropped between the fenders with a ZL1 camshaft. The rearend was given 4:56:1 gears to help it hook, and traction bars helped it grip. The fuel tank and fuel neck-filler tube were relocated to the trunk. Flared wheel openings helped stuff larger tires under the car. To finish the customization, the car was painted Candy Blue.
This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS396 had one rough ride over the years. Allegedly, the car traveled to Hawaii and further, before being proven it was indeed a Dick Harrell built Camaro. Once the documents were in order, it came back to the mainland and underwent a frame-off restoration with the installation of Classic Industries parts. The Dick Harrell Camaro was purchased at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona, during a 2013 auction. Founder and CEO of Classic Industries, Jeff Leonard, bought the car and will keep it in his collection. We're certainly glad to see it in the right hands.


Sociologists have studied financial analysts as market intermediaries linking their role to dimensions such as conferring legitimacy to securities (Zuckerman, 1999), and framing calculations (Beunza & Garud, 2007) in order to tackle uncertainty. The importance of securities analysis in financial markets begs the question of how such knowledge is constructed both as expertise and as a domain of activity.
The way analysts organize and maintain control of financial asset valuation as a specific domain of activity has been a less studied topic, but research in sociology of professions has been consistently addressing the question of how expertise is institutionalised as an occupation and can offer important cues regarding the relation between knowledge and profession.
Drawing from both the sociology of professions and sociology of finance literature, we present an account of how financial analysis became institutionalised as an expert domain of knowledge and an occupational activity in the Portuguese financial system, while considering how economics and financial theory in particular, embodied in institutional settings, conceptual and material tools, works as a driving force shaping professional practice.
The study we conducted used semi structured interviews with financial analysts and university professors of finance in Portugal and documental analysis (e.g. Portuguese law, association statues and deontological norms, university brochures and curricula, educational materials) between 2014 and 2015.
Since financial analysis was already an established practice in international financial markets when the Portuguese financial sector developed, the local institutionalisation of the profession followed an already existing model. Moreover, this late institutionalisation of financial analysis in Portugal happened when the features of professionalism in knowledge professions were being transformed. Thus, our research case conforms to a hybrid paradigm, sharing some qualities of a typical professional project while incorporating features of Corporate Professionalization, such as closure through market practices and legitimacy through market value.

K.K. Downing Talks About Judas Priest and KK's Priest
After leaving the Judas Priest in 2011, K.K. Downing is continuing his music career with KK's Priest. And from time to time he got questions and critics about them. Recently, K.K. Downing answered one of those questions he's been getting. That was about people saying that KK's Priest is a "copy" of Judas Priest.
K.K. Downing is one of the experienced and popular names in the metal music industry. He is the co-founder of the Judas Priest since 1969 and after leaving the band in 2011, he's been pursuing his career with the KK's Priest. Maybe because of the name, maybe for some other reason, he's been getting some critics saying "KK's Priest is just another version of Judas Priest". In his interview with Billboard, he answered that questions. He started by giving a quick answer to those critics
"I don't see it that way. We're not a new old band or an old new band."
After that brief explanation, he then proceeds to explain in a bit more detailed way.
"This is not just a version of Judas Priest. That's where the fans are looking at this wrong. I understand that, though. This is not me saying, 'Oh, this is my Judas Priest. But I don't want to dispense with the name Priest, because it belongs to me as much as it does anybody else… and more."
We see fans comparing bands musicians who took place before and after time to time. For K.K. Downing, the situation is a bit more tricky because of the names and he is a founder for both of those bands. But he made his explanation pretty well. He also went to explain about this situation about songs. But he also said that he understands that fans can think as they want.
"I don't quite see that myself, but then again, would I if I'm so close to it?. It's all subjective. It's absolutely down to the fan, and everybody's individual as to what they perceive and what they hear."
KK's Priest is going to release their new album this summer. Their album called Sermons Of The Sinner is now available for pre-order and it's going to be out on August 20. The first LP from that album, Hellfire Thunderbolt, has been released last month and got good feedbacks from listeners. They also shared the song Sermons Of The Sinner a couple of days ago. Downing also explained more stuff about Judas Priest and KK's Priest in his autobiography, which has been released in 2018.

The 1925 Giro d'Italia was the 13th edition of the Giro d'Italia, a Grand Tour organized and sponsored by the newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport. The race began on 16 May in Milan with a stage that stretched  to Turin, finishing back in Milan on 7 June after a  stage and a total distance covered of . The race was won by the Alfredo Binda of the Legnano team. Second and third respectively were the Italian riders Costante Girardengo and Giovanni Brunero.

Participants
Of the 126 riders that began the Giro d'Italia on 16 May, 39 of them made it to the finish in Milan on 7 June. Riders were allowed to ride on their own or as a member of a team. There were six teams that competed in the race: Aliprandi-Pirelli, Jenis, Legnano-Pirelli, Olympia-Pirelli, Peugeot-Pirelli, and Wolsit-Pirelli.

The peloton was completely composed of Italians, a trend which continued until the 1950s because of Italy's fascist policies and political climate. The field featured two former Giro d'Italia champions in the 1919 Giro d'Italia winner Costante Girardengo and returning champion Giovanni Brunero. Other notable Italian riders that started the race included Gaetano Belloni, Giovanni Rossignoli, and Pietro Bestetti. This was the first Giro d'Italia that Alfredo Binda competed in.

Just wondering what might be causing this. I purchased the car from Lotus of Atlanta about 2 months ago. They serviced the car and did a cambelt change also. Only thing I have done is add Esprit Performance Hi-Flow cats, and K&N filters, had to take it back to the exhaust shop because the tips we not centered, were too far over to the right side of the center exit. Car had 12k miles on arrival and I have only logged about 300 miles on it so far. Anyone that has had the CEL light come on for their V8 please chime in and let me know what it could be, and how to reset if it can be done without driving 200 miles to the closest dealer.
An ODBII Scanner will tell you the reason it's on. You'll save a lot of money with one of these yourself, could just be a simple lose sensor connection.
You can find details of some laptop software a member wrote to diagnose your problems here.
Alternative: use the *vehicle-explorer* software , available for example from www.obd-2.de or equal software systems ..there are many more in the net that can handle the diagnosis works on the V8.
My gues is: -the effectivity in conversion rate changed to much after the catalyst type was changed -that can cause an 'plausibility' fault?
In the USA , with this production year, you should have the rear o2-sensors as active part of the engine management. You can ask Mike Sekinger or the other V8 guys out here for that.
I had a faulty fuel gauge sender in the tank which meant that the fuel gauge reading was faulty and it fluctuated between empty and full whilst driving and my engine management light came on. I had the sender replaced and that cleared the engine management light and have had no problems since.

Dominican Model Jillian Mercado Makes Acting Debut on 'The L Word: Generation Q'
by Virginia Isaad December 3, 2019 July 6, 2020
spring cleaning negative parts of your life is nice. you should try it ☀also happy disability pride month (aka all year around really)  image description: 3 photos of myself basking in the california sun not giving a single fk.
A post shared by jillian mercado (@jillianmercado) on Jul 3, 2020 at 2:18pm PDT
Model Jillian Mercado has made a name for herself in the fashion world and now the 32-year-old Dominicana is venturing into entertainment with her TV debut on the upcoming queer series The L Word: Generation Q. According to Deadline, Mercado will play Maribel Suarez, an immigration attorney who serves as an emotional lifeline to her older sister, Sophie Suarez (Rosanny Zayas) a Dominican-American transplant from New York.
"For years and years, representation for the disability community [was not] even considered an opportunity to give. Although thousands of movies and stories have come out about us that have received awards in the highest capacity, our stories were never told by us, which caused stereotypes and unrelatable stories about our lives," Mercado tells HipLatina. "It's so important when you have the power and when you're in a capacity to understand that representation and inclusion is important. We have to unite together and give opportunities and jobs to one of the biggest minority groups."
I'm sure this video is going to speak for itself so I'm just going to caption everything on the bottom. This is such a milestone in my career and I am so excited to share this with you all: Video 1: " … I just did my first ever audition! …look how nervous I am like breaking out…for THE L WORD!! Ahhh!!…"  About 3weeks later.   " I think I have taken this video probably 10 times already the video that I probably post in the future. Hi Jillian, today is June 20th, 2019 is a Thursday you're in Los Angeles city by yourself in your apartment and you just got the most incredible news today today that you cried at least five times just randomly; first when I heard the news, then just like an hour later realizing, and then going oh my god this is this is happening to me right now and then disassociation – outer body experience that are very hard to explain unless you know the feeling that I'm talking about…where it's like excitement and nervousness hyperness, I just wanna burst in the air and fly because of the energy or how much energy you have just for a simple news but this specific news is really so life-changing and historic and today I was just told that I got a roll on a TV show and I don't even know how to react right now because I really never thought that I was going to be a public figure for any in any capacity and here I am being a model in doing that as you know is amazing and it means more than just being a model to me and now I get to expand that message of representation and how people with disabilities deserve to be heard and we can't tell our stories without us in the conversation and that always been important to me and today I found out that I'm going to elevate the conversation on television and I am Maribel on The L word word!! I am going to be in your TV screens very very soon and I'm very excited and I'm very thankful and I am thankful for everyone who has joined me on this fight to be represented in the right way and I am so thankful to everybody that is currently in my life or just push me to be the best person and you know allowing me to be myself and authenticity is so important to me and is vital to my life and I love you all!!

Mercado has muscular dystrophy but it never stopped her from pursuing a career in the notoriously cutthroat and exclusive world of fashion. She's signed with a major fashion agency — IMG Models — and is a vocal advocate for the disabled/differently-abled community. She's modeled in campaigns for Olay, Bumble 100, Calvin Klein fragrance, Nordstrom, Target and Tommy Hilfiger. She was also featured on the cover of Teen Vogue's first digital cover and was in September issues of Glamour and Cosmopolitan, among others. Her inclusion in the series is part of the show's efforts to be more inclusive and diverse, specifically in the LGBTQ space after the original — which ran from 2004-2009 — was criticized for being mostly white and not representative of the diversity in Los Angeles.
The model shared with us why landing this role means so much to her.
"Having an opportunity like this, I can embody a character that is the Latinx womxn who happens to have a disability," she says. "And to have a character who is an immigration attorney puts me in a position where I can talk about my culture but also the power it is to cast people who have disabilities in a position that is powerful — that being an attorney. It's an out-of-body experience for sure and I am so beyond grateful that I am able to keep the conversation going on a different platform."
"I hope people are screaming at the TV, like, 'Oh my God, she's Dominican!'" Zayas told the NY Times, sharing that she had never seen another LGBTQ Dominican on television. In addition to Mercado, the show also added Latinas behind and in front of the camera with newcomer Arienne Mandi, as ambitious public relations executive Dani Nuñez and her girlfriend, played by Zayas. Colombian screenwriter Tatiana Suarez-Pico and Salvadoran-American Nancy Mejía joined the team of writers for the series.
Mercado's role is undoubtedly a win for the Latinx community and the disabled community, both still significantly limited in representation in Hollywood. The amount of regular primetime broadcast characters who have a disability has slightly increased to 2.1 percent yet PEW Research found that in 2015 there were around 40 million people in the U.S. with a disability making up 12.6 percent of the population.
The model, who can now officially add actress to her list of talents, is also excited to be part of a show that touches on queer identity.
"And I am happy to say that I am queer as well, so it just all tied together so beautifully," she adds. " So I am beyond grateful and honored that the consideration was even there. It has been such a magical new adventure to be embarking on."

When she spoke with HipLatina earlier this year, Mercado shared the importance of advocacy and how people can work toward helping to amplify the voices and presence of marginalized communities, even if they aren't a part of that community.
"I definitely think it's important to just listen to the community and see what is missing that they're screaming about, whether it's that they aren't getting represented or talked about," she said
It's clear the showrunners have been listening and their intention to make the reboot a better representation of the world as it is will attract viewers seeking authenticity in a space that doesn't often recognize the LGBTQ community beyond shows like Vida and Pose. The L Word; Generation Q premieres Dec. 8 on at 10 p.m. on Showtime.
