By ancient tradition, the Philermia Icon of the Mother of God was painted by the holy Evangelist Luke. From Jerusalem it was transferred to Constantinople, where it was situated in the Blachernae church. In the thirteenth century it was taken from there by crusaders, and from that time was kept by the Knights of the Order of Saint John.

I am a woman. I am emotional. I am stating the fact that as a woman I am extremely emotional at times. God created women to be emotional. He gave us strong desires and big hearts. Some of us even cry at commercials. But not at the babypuppymonkey horror that we all saw on the 50th Super Bowl commercials. Truly horrifying. The truth still remains that we are very emotional and we can "get worked up" over the smallest affairs. Society does not help us at all. In fact, we made to believe that we should look a certain way, be a certain way, and eat certain things. And if we are not conforming to the standards then our emotional sparks start flaring.
Have you ever seen the movie "Inside Out"? It is a Disney cartoon about our emotions. It depicts our emotions as beings living in our minds. There characters are Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust. The movie is designed to help us understand how each emotion works and how they work together and why we need them. (Sorry for the spoilers.) We see Joy, who seems to be the leader in this 12 year old girl's head, get worried because Sadness seems to be having more control. Eventually Joy and Sadness accidently are removed from "headquarters" (see what happened here…"HEAD" quarters and get lost in long-term memory. Now headquarters is ran by Anger, Fear, and Disgust. You can imagine how that went for this poor 12 year old girl. Joy later understands that Sadess is very important and some memories need Sadness.
No one likes to be sad, but sometimes sadness is beneficial; however, there are emotions that can become unhealthy and take over if we let them (if we allow Joy to be lost).
I am going to go over three emotions in this devotion today. Three that I believe as women we deal with quite often.
Romans is such a great book on righteous living. If you need to understand what God expects of us, read Romans.
1. Breaking the curse of jealousy.
Let's be honest, when women get together we will talk. Specifically, we talk about each other.
We can say some really hurtful things about our friends. "Jealously is a poison that I drink in the hope that the other person will die." (unknown author). This is such a POWERFUL statement. Think about it. We say something foul about someone (that is really killing our souls) hoping that it destroys the person we are talking about. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." We have all heard that one. This is such a lie. Sticks and stones may break our bones but they heal. Words will tear through us, leaving us scarred and bloody. Some never overcome the things people have said about them.
Have you ever found yourself bothered by someone else's achievements or praise? We are human and this will happen? But have you asked yourself why you are feeling this way?
(Getting back to) Romans 12:21. I am going to replace the word evil. Do not be overcome by jealousy but overcome jealousy with good. When we are busy helping the poor, the homeless, the sick (doing what God speaks passionately about) then we can't worry about our jealousy/envy over another person's clothes, job, kids, husbands, appearance, etc.
2. Breaking the curse of fear.
Fear is also linked with lack of faith. Lack of faith that we cannot create powerful solutions. We are too worried about how we are handling the situation. Example, some people have fear on a roller coaster because if they fall they can't stop themselves. They have no control and that is hard for a lot of people.
There are all kinds of phobias out there. Some very interesting ones but they are all real to many individuals. There is actually one called phobephobia which is the fear of being afraid. That must make their head spin. How do people cope?
We all at some point or even currently seem to fear that we won't be cool enough or accepted if we aren't wearing the latest style or drive the best car or whatever. We fear everything around us but not the one thing we are supposed to fear. That's the problem!!!!!!! We are worried about everything and everybody else and not enough about our own spiritual woman. In Proverbs 14:26 it says, "Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress and for their children it will be a refuge." Generational curses…think about it. Fear is a general curse. Hebrews 12:28-29 –says, "Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken let us be thankful and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe for out God is a consuming fire." My pastor said during our Revelation series that Jesus has fire in his eyes and looks awesome and John saw this and was afraid. If we understand who Jesus is/who God is we don't have to fear the things of the world. What is fear when we have THAT kind of God on our side? It makes no sense. Fear leads to worry and worry is not trusting in God that He will handle the situation and/or give you strength to do so. This fear and worry can lead to anger.
3. Breaking the curse of Anger.
All of us have gotten angry at some point, but not every point of anger is sin. Jesus got angry at the temple. Anger that is based on selfishness and control is sin. Yes, I get angry. There was a time that I got angry a lot. It was due my co-workers. My coworkers would not do their jobs correctly and that would cause me not be able to compelte something I needed. I don't understand how some can't prioritize tasks and complete their jobs correctly. It frustrates me so much. But God struck me down hard concerning this issue. Why am I getting angry? I should realize that it does not do me or them any good to get angry. God was telling me that they are still going do the same stupid stuff they always do but how about pray for them. I then started praying for my coworkers to understand the job better and for me to be able to help them and not get frustrated with them. It hit me like a tons of bricks. I needed to be more loving towards them and pray for understanding. They are not going to change or excel by my anger issues, but I can pray to God to help them.
Come on now, we all get angry at our husbands. Am I right? But instead of bashing our husband to his face or to our friends (which by the way is NOT healthy – STOP talking about your husbands), how about we begin to do something nice for our husbands and pray for our husbands (see Prayer Journal post from January 2016).
Proverbs 27:17 says, "Iron sharpens iron so one person sharpens another." This is so true. We can either sharpen other in love and truth or sharpen them in anger. But Hebrews 10:25 says to encourage one another. Galatians 6:2 say, "Carry each other's burdens and on this way you will fulfill the law of Christ". The Bible says we are supposed to be the salt and the light. Anger towards one another takes the light and smothers it and makes the salt blow away in the wind.
Anger leads to depression and depression can lead to jealousy and fear and then you get angrier. It's vicious cycle that just gets worse. Once again I quote Romans 12:21, "Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good." When we are busy helping the poor, the homeless, the sick (doing what God speaks passionately about) then we can't worry about our jealousy/envy over that person's clothes, job, kids, etc. We do not get angry about co-workers. We do not get depressed over our own problems. 1 Corinthians 13:4 says, "Love is patient love is kind; love does not envy; it does not boast; it is not proud." LOVE. This is the answer to everything. God is LOVE.
I am reminded of one of my pastor's sermons: "When you know who you are, you'll know what to do". If we apply the word in our lives and acknowledge we are women of God, "we know who we are", then we can love one another, we can do good and we are not overcome by evil.

Intracellular trafficking
Liquid-like protein assemblies initiate endocytosis

Endocytosis
Endocytosis is critical for regulating plasma membrane composition and function. The mechanisms that control the assembly and dynamic rearrangement of the endocytic protein network to enable endocytic vesicle formation have remained elusive. Two endocytic initiator proteins are now shown to form liquid-like condensates to initiate endocytosis.
Endocytosis is an essential process of cell entry in which patches of plasma membrane (PM) are internalized into the cell interior via the formation of membrane vesicles to regulate PM composition and function. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), a major form of endocytosis, depends on the assembly and dynamic rearrangement of an elaborate network of endocytic proteins that couple the sorting of transmembrane cargo to the various stages of endocytic vesicle formation1. In this issue of Nature Cell Biology, Day et al.2 demonstrate that the early acting endocytic proteins Eps15 and FCHo1 use weak, multivalent interactions to form liquid-like assemblies that promote the recruitment of downstream interactors and thereby facilitate endocytic vesicle formation. The authors therefore offer a solution to the long-standing question of how rapid assembly of endocytic proteins can be achieved while permitting extensive remodelling of the endocytic protein network as the pathway progresses.

Home Sports Greatest IPL Matches in the Indian History
The craze for IPL is just beyond limits in India and across the globe. There are various fascinating reasons behind it. Indian cricket is appreciated for its unique gameplay, powerful players, and blue jersey. Cricket is not just a game, it's a religion. IPL for that matter is much more fun and exciting. IPL is a T20 league played in India and is sponsored by various amazing brands. This is a domestic game and not an international one. According to the data obtained by the BCCI, in 2015, the IPL contributed Rs. 11.5 billion to India's GDP. Well, it's not just fun, the contribution is lots. The IPL brand value in 2019 was Rs 47,500 crore. The IPL brand value dips 3.6% to Rs 45800 in 2020. It earns a lot in just a month or so. The telecasting all over the globe and the amazing players just multiplies money.
THE CRAZE IS REAL
The game allows you to support any player from any team, no matter Indian or other national players. Otherwise, in an international match, you need to support the Indian team only. But here, international players can be supported because they play for Indian domestic IPL teams. Huff, this is so relaxing! Now you need not stress and just support your favorite player.
The game includes various players, starting from legends to freshers. Hardik Pandya, Bhumra, Virat Kohli, Manoj Tiwari, and various young players are a part of the IPL teams. You get to see various big names Including Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Kedar Jadhav, Dawid Malan, Hakib Al Hasan, etc.
The IPL is more akin to a Bollywood film than a cricket match. The inclusion of Bollywood and the world's most powerful industrialists in the IPL just contributes to the tournament's success. The TV networks can pay exorbitant fees for rights because of the exposure they would get as a result of being a member of the IPL.
This is just a 3-hour game and doesn't last long like other games. Most of the games go on for 7-8 hours, and you usually feel tired and anxious. This is a perfect game where you can have all the fun and enjoyment in just 3 hours.
This game can be a lot of fun! People generally despise interruptions, but these help you to catch your breath, make a cup of tea, and use the restroom without missing a beat. When watching these nail-biting tournaments, that is just what you need.
It's not just about cricket in the IPL; it's also about the limelight. Again, the presence of Bollywood celebrities and industrialists spending money in the teams generates a lot of media attention; from after parties to hook-ups and on-field disagreements, their every step becomes a big deal, much like the movie stars. The IPL opening is very GRAAANNNNDDDD! It's just like a festival.
2011, Match 70: Mumbai Indians (178-5, 20 overs) beat Kolkata Knight Riders (175-7, 20 overs) by five wickets
2010, Match 54: Chennai Super Kings (195-4, 19.4 overs) beat Kings XI Punjab (192-3, 20 overs) by six wickets
2016, Match 53: Rising Pune Supergiant (173-6, 20 overs) beat King's XI Punjab (172-7, 20 overs) by four wickets
2018, Match 5: Chennai Super Kings (205-5, 19.5 overs) beat Kolkata Knight Riders (202-6, 20 overs) by 5 wickets
2019, Match 19: Mumbai Indians (136-7, 20 overs) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad (96-10, 17.4 overs) by 40 runs
2013, Match 31: Royal Challengers Bangalore (263-5, 20 overs) beat Pune Warriors India (133-9, 20 overs) by 130 runs
2008, Match 1: Kolkata Knight Riders (222-3, 20 overs) beat Royal Challengers Bangalore (82-10, 15.1 overs) by 140 runs
2017, Final: Mumbai Indians (129-8, 20 overs) beat Rising Pune Supergiant (128-6, 20 overs) by one run
2019, Final: Mumbai Indians (149-8, 20 overs) beat Chennai Super Kings (148-7, 20 overs) by one run
2014, Match 56: Mumbai Indians (195-5, 14.4 overs) beat Rajasthan Royals (189-4, 20 overs) by five wickets
People have gone gaga over IPL. In the year 2011, Mumbai Indians played a match with Kolkata Knight Riders, and won by wickets. This amazing victory is still appreciated in IPL history. With 40 runs needed off 15 pitches, Kieron Pollard's leg stump chopped down, MI pulled off the most unlikely of victories thanks to some inspired James Franklin hitting. With 21 runs required from the final over, the New Zealander smashed Lakshmipathy Balaji for four consecutive fours before Ambati Rayudu hit the winning run with a leg-stump full toss into a stunned Eden Gardens crowd.
Oh my God, we cannot forget this match. In this match, the legendary player MS Dhoni got a title of a finisher. Chennai Super Kings recovered from 27-2 After four overs to require 16 from the final over of Irfan Pathan to reach the semi finale. The incredible win of Chennai Super Kings by six wickets is just mind-blowing. The captain of the team scored 16 runs in four balls, to win the game and take place in the finale
MS Dhoni, the Man of the Match says, "It's a tough game, you can't always perform, but if you perform in big games, you get that tag of being the pressure player. But the fact is, Raina and Badri set the chase up. It was an emotional moment. Your franchise pays so much money for you, you should at least make the semi-finals. After that, you can say it is a lottery. The kind of franchise we have got, the kind of team we have, we should have made it to the semi-finals before this game. So it was an emotional moment, at least for me."
Mahendra Singh Dhoni played from the side of Rising Pune Supergiant and had a very impressive game player to qualify. The team required 22 runs from the last five balls. What do you think, how would a captain plan gameplay in such a critical situation? Mahendra Singh Dhoni instead of being demotivated, hit three sixes and a four to win the game. This is known as the trademark helicopter shot, which has not been played by anyone in IPL history. This was one of the most memorable moments for MS Dhoni. This moment was written in gold in the IPL history

56 off 23, Sam Billings turned the match around, leaving Andre Russell on the losing end despite his 88 records. Super Kings' chase waxed and waned before the final over, chasing 203 after Andre Russell blitzed 88 off 36 deliveries, the highest score by a No. 7 batsmen or lower in the IPL. Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu gave Super Kings an urgent, quick start with a 75-run opening stand of 35 balls, reawakening the hushed home crowd. Then, as the needed pace soared, MS Dhoni's 25 off 28 moved Knight Riders ahead once more.
This IPL game was appreciated not for scoring huge runs but for defending themselves. This challenging match between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad is a must-watch if you are an IPL fan. A 22-year-old amazing cricketer Alzarri Joseph bowled out David Warner on his first delivery.
Alzarri Joseph, the Man of the Match quotes "It's a dream start, can't get better than this. I just wanted to bowl to the plans. When they said I was playing, I decided to keep it simple and back myself. When I got my first wicket, I had a muted celebration since I was focused on the game that we had to win. The boys are playing well, a lot of hard work, so all we need to do is go to the park and show them what we can do."
In this match, the legendary player Gayle scored 175 runs with 66 balls. He had 17 sixes and 30 fastballs to make this score. This is the best performance of a player and also the highest team total in the history of IPL. Chris Gayle's unforgettable 66-ball 175 is easily the most exciting moment in the IPL's history thus far. The West Indian opener crushed the Pune Warriors' hapless bowlers for 17 sixes while also smashing various records.
This was a game that has marked its dominance in IPL history. KKR achieved a great win by defeating the RCB. The batting and bowling skills of the KKR players during the time of the match deserve an applaud. Bredon McCullum smacked KKR for 222 for 3. He was 158 not out, writing his name in the IPL history. This was the highest score in T20 cricket. The RCB also had decent gameplay where Ajit Agarkar took 3 wickets and the start was just amazing.
McCullum says that he is pleased to have made an impression and Loves the excitement so far. He looks forward to more. He doesn't credit any game plan as such. McCullum feels that it all just came together
Rohit Sharma and his team always find a way to win, even at the odds. Mumbai's tournament looked to be over as they slumped to 79-7 before solid lower-order hitting from Krunal Pandya and Mitchell Johnson hauled them to a total that was close to respectable. And it was Johnson's night, as the Australian defended seven runs in the final five balls, dismissing Manoj Tiwari and fellow countryman Steve Smith to claim Mumbai's third IPL crown.
Krunal Pandya was the Man of the Match and said "When the wicket was falling, I wanted to play 20 overs because I was the only batsman. I knew if I stayed till the 19th-20th over I could attack. The pitch was gripping sometimes, and skidding at others. Just wanted to make sure I'm there till the end and give the bowlers a chance. In the end, it comes down to preparation. I prepared well before the tournament and the results came. I want to thank Nitin Patel who helped me out when I got injured 5-6 games ago. It's a dream come true to be Man of the Match in the final"
Losing a match by one run is very disappointing. This was a victory for Mumbai Indians where Bumrah was awarded as the player of the match as he delivered 2-14 from four overs. Not only this, Malinga could gather three runs from the last three deliveries.
Rohit Sharma, the winning captain says, "We played some good cricket. Good to see we qualified in the top two. At the start of the tournament, we wanted to split the tournament into two halves. But credit to the entire squad, not just the XI. Even the support staff as well. Our bowling in this tournament was excellent. At different stages, our bowlers put their hands up and brought us back in the game. Every bowler who got an opportunity put their hand up, whatever condition we played in. We backed our ability and our skills, and that's probably why we got rewards. About Malinga, that's what champions do. I had confidence in him despite a poor third over. He also had confidence he could do it. I thought we could use Hardik for the 20th but wanted to back someone who has done it for us. Malinga has done it many times in the past, so not a very difficult decision. As a captain, I am learning every game and every tournament. But need to give credit to the team. Firmly believe the captain is representative of this team. Players make the captain look good."
This was the best IPL finish of all time. Rajasthan Royals (RR) plotted to lose a match they believed they had won. MI made the playoffs after being expected to be disqualified. The discarded cap of Royals coach Rahul Dravid was crumpled on the dugout turf. Aditya Tare, a Mumbai Indians batsman, dashed from the wicket, his jersey pulled over his head like Cristiano Ronaldo celebrating a Champions League final.
This was all about the best 10 matches of IPL. This game has not only proved to be a source of entertainment but also has help people grow. Many players who were freshers, made their name and gathered fame. The hard work, determination, and destiny helped all these people to succeed and engrave their name in Indian history.

IPLT20 2021:These 3 youngsters will make Virat Kohli the IPL champion for the first time


Hirsh Sandesara won the Chicago suburban spelling bee Thursday because he is P-E-R-S-I-S-T-E-N-T.
That was not the winning word in the bee sponsored by the Chicago Tribune for elementary school youngsters in nine counties in the metropolitan area, but it aptly describes Hirsh's efforts.
In 1994, then only 9 years old and a 4th grader, Hirsh set his sights on becoming a champion speller. He placed second in the suburban spelling bee that year, an astonishing feat for so young a child. He was fourth in 1995, second in 1996 and was determined to reach his goal this year.
Hirsh, 12, a 7th grader at Maple Middle School in Northbrook, achieved his goal by outspelling 20 other youngsters--all champions in regional contests--from the counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Will, McHenry, DeKalb, Grundy and Kendall.
"It took me long enough," Hirsh said moments after winning.
He discovered his talent to spell as a 4th grader by winning a class bee. "It kept happening," he said, placing first in regional contest after contest but not the big one that would qualify him to represent the Chicago suburbs in the national spelling bee in Washington, D.C.
In early rounds of the bee, Hirsh knocked off words such as "saprogenic," "idiosyncratic" and "disapprobation."
"In 4th grade, he said he wanted to go to Washington just once," said his father, KalyanSandesara. "Now he will realize his dream," said Jyoti, his mother.
They will accompany their son to the national match May 28 and 29.
Hirsh loves the thrill of "getting in front of people in a contest like this."
Spelling once was Hirsh's entire life, but now, he said, "It's harder to budget my time." He is a Boy Scout, plays tennis, swims and writes poems.
In the 16th ground, he was on target with "pundit." Two other spellers remained. Vivek Patel, of Adams School, Melrose Park, tripped up on "corporeal," and Shreyas Bhat, of Batavia Middle School, stumbled on "euthanasia."
Hirsh had to spell one more word to win, and he breezed through "peremptory."
Shreyas placed second in a runoff with Vivek.
Words that other spellers conquered included "manumit," and "empyrean."
Some of the words too tough for the youngsters were "byssinosis," "cochleariform" and "leucoryx."
In a separate spelling bee for Chicago students earlier in the day, Beth Dorman, 13, an 8th grader, won her third consecutive city title. She is taught at home by her mother, Susan, and will also compete in the national contest.


With a price tag of $157,000, the Mercedes-AMG GT R is one of the best bang-for-buck supercars you can get right now. The vehicle features a 4.0 Liter V8 bi-turbo engine, delivering 577 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to sprint from 0-62mph (0-100km/h) in just 3.5 seconds and to reach a top speed of 197mph (318km/h). It's no wonder that DJ Skee – the owner of this gorgeous vehicle – decided to go with one of these for a daily driver.
The Mercedes-AMG GT R comes with exceptional driving dynamics, coming courtesy of the front mid-engine layout with a transaxle setup, boosted by extensively modified suspension, sophisticated aerodynamics, an active rear-axle steering, bespoke tires and intelligent lightweight design. The vehicle features several performance-oriented improvements. These include its weight reduction, aerodynamic tweaks, engine tuning, in turn allowing it to achieve the fastest-ever lap time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The time was set at 7:10.9 – conducted independently in a test drive by the magazine "Sport Auto" – a faster time through the "Green Hell" than any other road-going sports car ever tested at this utmost demanding racetrack.
As mentioned earlier, this Green Hell Magno Mercedes-AMG GT R belongs to DJ Skee. An American artist, television host, radio personality, philanthropist, and entrepreneur, DJ Skee rose to fame as the first DJ to discover superstar artists like Kendrick Lamar, Justin Bieber, Akon, Lorde, and Lady Gaga, amongst others. DJ Skee is also a petrolhead and a big fan of our wheel designs, so it was just natural that when he got his supercar, he turned to us for some new wheels.
In order to achieve a further customized look for his ride, he opted-in for a set of ADV.1 Advanced Series wheels. Namely, a set of ADV05 Track Spec Advanced Series wheels was on the menu. The ADVANCED SERIES is our most engineered and strength tested wheel line to date. This new Series raised the industry standard in almost every category imaginable: from aesthetic wheel design & strength testing, right down to the wheel packaging. Every traditional step involved in creating a wheel line was rewritten in order to advance what is currently considered premium in the high end exotic and luxury car world.
The wheels are installed in sizes of 20×10 and 21×12 in the front and rear, respectively. They feature a finish combination that features a Matte Black front face, Gloss Black lips, and custom Green Hell Magno barrels. Furthermore, the wheels come with 50/50 Exposed Titanium hardware option, making them a fitting addition to this high-performance vehicle in every way.

William F. Ruddiman, Plows, Plagues and Petroleum: How Humans Took Control of Climate. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2005. xiv + 202 pp. $25 (hardcover), ISBN: 0-691-12164-8.
William Ruddiman's provocative but plausible conclusion is that the economic behavior of humans began to profoundly influence global climate roughly 8000 years ago.
A recently retired Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia and author of a leading textbook on climate history, Ruddiman begins with an overview of earth's history, noting that the planet's climate has drifted toward cooler conditions for approximately the past 55 million years. The dominant hypothesis is that volcanic carbon dioxide emissions have subsided while removal of CO2 from the atmosphere has accelerated due to interactions between monsoon rains and newly created ground-up rock debris in the Himalayas. About 2.75 million years ago — perhaps triggered by the closing of the Panama Isthmus and the diversion of Atlantic currents — cooling reached a critical threshold and massive ice sheets first appeared at high northern latitudes. Since about 900,000 years ago, the earth has gone through cycles during which glaciers have covered nearly a quarter of the Earth's total land surface in ice ages lasting almost 100,000 years, which are divided by brief interglacials. These cycles seem to be explained by the eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession of the Earth's orbit and cycles in the solar radiation and have been linked to cycles in the major greenhouse gases — methane and carbon dioxide. However, during the current interglacial (which began about 10,000 years ago), concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide have begun to deviate from the trend they followed in previous warm spells.
Ruddiman's central argument is that this interglacial has differed from its antecedents because of human behavior. Based on previous cycles, one would have expected methane concentrations to have peaked about 11,000 years ago slightly above 700 parts per billion and then declined to about 450 parts per billion today. Methane levels followed the normal cycle at first, but about 5000 years ago they began to rebound and are nearly as high as they were before the decline began — about 275 parts per billion above trend. After ruling out natural causes, Ruddiman concludes that this deviation was probably caused by human activity — primarily the cultivation of rice in artificial wetlands in Asia. The argument seems quite plausible, but is by no means conclusive. Skeptics will require much more sophisticated quantitative estimates of methane emissions, tied to estimates of areas under cultivation in each period and cultivation practices. Perhaps some economic historian will take up this challenge.
Like methane, carbon dioxide has deviated from the cycle it has followed in previous interglacials and the deviation isn't recent — beginning long before industrialization swept the globe. Ruddiman convincingly demonstrates that carbon dioxide levels began to rise above their normal trend about 8000 years ago. Rather than falling by 20 parts per million, they rose by 20 parts per million in the pre-modern era. Again, he argues that our ancient ancestors were responsible — primarily because they deforested vast swaths of land for farming. Ruddiman uses estimates of population, forest cleared per person and carbon emitted per each square kilometer cleared to approximate the total impact and concludes that the magnitude is reasonably close to the extra carbon dioxide accumulated during the period. Again there is some slippage between the estimates of human emissions and deviations from trend — but Ruddiman openly invites others to rework and refine his calculations, which seem quite plausible, though not conclusive.
The next step is to consider what the world would look like today if our ancient ancestors hadn't cleared forests and cultivated rice. Plugging counterfactual greenhouse gas levels into a standard climate model, Ruddiman (with S.J. Vavrus and J.E. Kutzbach, "A Test of the Overdue Glaciation Hypothesis," Quaternary Science Review, 2005) concludes that the world would be currently entering the next ice age. Temperatures would be much colder in areas of Canada centering on Hudson Bay and Baffin Island would be in a state of "glacial inception," with the Labrador Plateau not far behind. In fact, Ruddiman concludes, we came very close to this threshold in the middle of the last millennium during the "Little Ice Age." He argues that plagues — especially the Bubonic Plague of the 1300s and the Old World diseases that devastated the New World after the arrival of Columbus — reduced human populations in agricultural areas allowing enough afforestation that greenhouse gas levels dipped enough to pull temperatures down. This argument may be correct, but the evidence he presents is not that compelling to me. Figure 12.1 shows two series of carbon dioxide estimates from Antarctic ice cores. Unfortunately, the two series do not always correlate well. While the Taylor Dome series shows a sharp fall coinciding with the Bubonic Plague, the Law Dome series does not. The Law Dome series falls very sharply at about the time that most of the Western Hemisphere's population died off, but the Taylor Dome series ends right before this critical period. Moreover, it isn't clear that the Western Hemisphere pandemic led to massive afforestation — the bulk of the population declines came in the Andes and Mexico but it isn't clear that forests grew rapidly in these areas.
Finally, Ruddiman considers the third P — petroleum — concluding that the current spike in carbon dioxide levels cannot last indefinitely because emissions will eventually decline to levels lower than the ocean's absorptive capacity. In the end, temperatures will probably begin to drop and "the peak centuries of the greenhouse interval would pass too quickly for a large fraction of the south polar ice to melt" (p. 168). After several millennia, the Earth may well return to its long-overdue glaciation.
Ruddiman's book has already begun to spark an important debate — a debate which economic historians should be eager to follow and to join.

So this is not a terrible lot of food, but every two or three days I pull about this much vegetable/fruit mass out of my small garden. The tomatoes are way behind this year, the carrots will need another 30 days to be useful, the onions probably needed more fertilizer and the squash (although) showing promise, is also late.
Did I mention the blooming bush peas? Boy are they sweet to eat. Raw. Right out of the pod!

Home /Song Ci
Song Ci is a popular genre of Chinese literature in Song Dynasty, which marks the highest achievement of literature in Song Dynasty. Song Ci began to develop in Tang Dynasty, stereotyped in the Five Dynasties, and finally formed in Song Dynasty. Song Ci is easy to sing because of its long and short sentences. This type of poem is akin to lyrics created for musical accompaniment as the meter varies in the way that the words had to match the rhythm of the music. Song Ci is a so brilliant pearl on the crown of the ancient Han Chinese culture. In ancient Han literature, it is a beautiful fragrant garden.

Graceful and Restrained Ci School(Wanyue)
Graceful and Restrained Ci School endows delicate things with exquisite feeling and elegance. its content focuses mainly on the lasting affection of boys and girls. It has a profound and delicate structure, paying attention to the gentle temperament of harmony and fluent language. The writing is beautiful and fresh, with the beauty of softness. The content of Wanyue school is relatively narrow. With the long-term trend of reverberation and mellow, people have formed a beautiful and true concept.
Unconstrained Ci School(Haofang)
Ci of Haofang genre began to be popular since the creation by Su Shi who changed Ci into a lyrical art. The poets of this school are committed to creating a broader vision. Poets like to write lyrics in the way of poetry, syntax and morphology. The allusion is more informal with defensive temperament. Huang Tingjian, Zhao Bu and he Zhu all have this style of work. When poets cross the north and the south, due to the changes of the times, the solemn and generous tone should be transported and developed, which has become a common practice. Xin Qiji even became creative generation giant bold words and leaders.
Famous Poet of Song Dynasty
Sushi was the leader of the literary world in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he made great achievements in poetry, ci, prose, calligraphy, painting and so on. The poem is broad in theme, fresh and vigorous, and is full of exaggeration and metaphor, with unique style. His ci belongs to the Graceful and Restrained Ci School, which is the representative of Graceful and Restrained Ci Schooll together with Xin Qiji, and is called "Su Xin". Su Shi is one of the Eight Essay Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
She is the representative of graceful and restrained Ci School and she was said to be the first talented woman in Chinese history. Li Qingzhao was born in a scholarly family. Her early life was well-off. Her father, Li Gefei, had a very rich collection of books. As a child, she laid a literary foundation in a good family environment. In her Ci, she wrote more about her leisurely life in the early stage and lamented her life experience and sentimental mood in the later stage. In terms of form, she is good at using the technique of white drawing, creating his own way, making the language clear and beautiful, and emphasizing the coordination of words.
Xin Qiji's ambition is to protect his family and the country, but he has never been able to achieve this in his life. However, he never wavered in his belief in the restoration of the country. Instead, he put all his passions and concerns about the rise and fall of the country and the fate of the nation into his works. The artistic style of his Ci is various, mainly bold and unconstrained, and his style is not lack of delicate and soft.

ANSI Announces 2017 Legal Issues Forum: Patent Policies and Licensing Assurances
The Institute has applied to offer Continuing Legal Education Credits for Course
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) will hold its annual Legal Issues Forum with the 2017 theme Patent Policies and Licensing Assurances, from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 18, 2017, at the FHI 360 Conference Center, 1825 Connecticut Avenue, NW, in Washington, DC. The event is part of World Standards Week(WSW), a series of meetings and celebrations hosted annually by ANSI, coordinator of the U.S. voluntary standardization system.
The event will explore patent policies and the licensing assurances received by standards developing organizations (SDOs). Because standards may include technology that is the subject of patents, many standards organizations adopt patent policies that seek to balance the rights of patent holders (to be fairly compensated for the use of their patented technology) with the rights of implementers of the standard (to reasonably access essential technology). For their part, SDOs must develop policies that ensure that the proper balance is struck.
While SDO patent policies vary widely, ANSI achieves a balance by requiring accredited SDOs to receive an assurance - sometimes called a Letter of Assurance (LoA) - from the holder of an essential patent claim that it will license its patent on reasonable and nondiscriminatory (RAND) terms to applicants desiring to utilize the license for the purpose of implementing the standard.
Panelists at the 2017 Legal Issues Forum will address how SDOs acquire LoAs, the essential elements of a LoA, how SDOs know if the LoA it has received complies with its own (or ANSI's) patent policy, and what an SDO does with a LoA once it is received.
Both forum segments will feature 7-minute opening statements from each panelist, followed by 75 minutes of moderated discussion, and audience Q&A. Henry Wixon, Chief Counsel, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), will moderate both sessions. The companies' perspectives panel - featuring speakers from Ericsson, Qualcomm, WilmerHale, and O'Donnell PLLC will address LoAs from the point of view of patent holders. The second panel, with panelists from Biddle Law, Dorsey and Whitney, Morgan Lewis, and Gesmer Updegrove, will provide SDO legal teams' perspectives.
The annual event is $249 for ANSI members and $350 for non-members. ANSI members and all interested stakeholders including those from government, industry, business, consumer groups, and academia are encouraged to attend and share their perspectives on these critical issues.
As with the 2016 Legal Issues Forum, ANSI has applied to offer Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits for this conference. CLE is professional education for attorneys following their admission to the bar. Should ANSI be approved, the Institute will issue another announcement and advise all registrants, so that they may take advantage of the CLE credits as appropriate.
The draft agenda and registration details are available on the Legal Issues Forum event webpage. For more information on this event topic, see the ANSI Patent Policy, ANSI Patent Policy Guidelines, and ANSI Patent Letter of Assurance Database.
ANSI's World Standards Week, to be held this year from October 16-20, is an annual event where nearly 400 members of the standards and conformity assessment community come together in the spirit of cooperation and collaboration.

Slings and arrows slung and shot at Donald Trump in the updated musical review.
You'd need a ten ton truck to haul away all the slings and arrows slung and shot at Donald Trump in Me the People: Fire & Fury Edition, the red-hot political revue currently on stage at the Laurie Beechman Theatre.
Written by the sharp-witted Nancy Holson whose hilarious lyrics repurpose many well-known songs for her nefarious criticisms of our misbegotten president, the show is an update of an earlier version.
The show is structured as a series of skits, short ones alternating with longer ones. A running joke is a Twitter Bird (a wonderful Vanessa Robinson), complete with bird head and feathered wings, who, to the tune of "Rockin' Robin," goes bonkers, constantly awakened at 3 A.M. by Trump's maddening bathroom tweets.
Mar-a-Lago, the president's Florida residence is excoriated with sharp, reworked lyrics to "Hotel California." "The Sounds of Silence" takes on the high brick wall Trump and his cronies have built to avoid replying to criticism from the press and Maxine Waters (Aiesha Dukes wonderfully sardonic in a blonde wig) sings "Hit the Road, Jack," thumbing her nose at her cowardly accusers.
The bulk of the 90-minute show is taken up with two skits. The first takes Ivanka (a scarily perfect Mia Weinberger) and Jared (Joe Marx, smartly catching his smarmy persona) on a whirlwind world tour where their wheeling and dealing obscenely inflates their bank accounts.
The other is a day-by-day account of Trump's presidency, backed up by deft use of almost instantaneous set and costume changes. Though overlong, its heartbreaking revelations of one abuse of power after another stuns by their sheer volume.
After Lady Liberty (Ms. Robinson) assures us "I Will Survive," the show ends with a sing-along of "This Land Is My Land," sung surprisingly straight.
The quintet of actor/singers and pianist Higgins do tireless yeoman work in this non-stop tornado of complicated song lyrics and supersonic costume changes, never flagging in their zeal. Surely co-director David Rigano had a hand in keeping the show running so beautifully and getting the most out of the cast.
The comical, purposely half-baked wigs were designed by Katherine Pecevich and the seemingly makeshift, but just right costumes by Stephen Smith.
Me the People: Fire & Fury Edition is clearly not for everyone, but is totally at home in New York City. The production is also making itself available to pump up the anti-Trump sentiment.
Meanwhile, if nothing else, the show provides a terrific way to vent for both the cast and the audience.
Andy Stein, Founder and Executive Chairman, stated: "There are not enough words to say how thankful we are to the legendary Stephen Schwartz for his incredible support of the children of the Orphaned Starfish Foundation, to Michael Lavine, Paul Kreppel and Carol De Giere who made this a reality, and to all the wonderful Broadway stars who donated their performances that made tonight so very special.
John Doyle's updated, cut-down version of the popular Shakespeare comedy is ultimately quite charming with a delicious score by Stephen Schwartz.
