3) And on a t-shirt I saw outside Comiskey, "Baseball's not boring. You are." Luke and I agreed that while the shirt was more or less right, we would neither one wear it.
5) The Cardinals clinched their fifth division title in nine years Monday while in Milwaukee. According to the Post-Dispatch, several Cardinals after the audience had left climbed to Bernie Brewer's house, posed for photos, and slid down the slide. I assume Steve Kline was involved.
6) I can't find the story, but it was also reported that at Monday's game, Tony LaRussa was nearly taken out by Bratwurst when he came out of the dugout right in the middle of the sausage race. Where's Randall Simon when you need him?
Jim: It mentions the Tony LaRussa bratwurst incident in the same Post-Dispatch story where it mentions the Bernie Brewer slide incident.
By the way, for those not fortunate enough to be hangers-on: after Levi saw the "where was Ray Lewis when Joey Porter got shot" T-shirt, it was pretty much all he talked about for the rest of the trip. And it's not even baseball-related, except for the fact that the vendor was attempting to sell it to people attending the Pirates game.
Speaking of which, sad news from Pittsburgh…not baseball-related, but related to a different kind of ball. I know Kevin Martin, subject of the article, from 1998, when I was a member of the Steel City Pinball Association, although I'm not sure if he'd remember me at all. You may note, if you scroll down to the individual standings, that he had a 49-17 record and I was 27-39. He also has enough money to buy warehouses, and a Ferrari.
Levi: The Ray Lewis t-shirt just astounded me with its vitriol and crassness. I mean, it wasn't even a t-shirt about the team playing that day, or a Pittsburgh team at all–it was a t-shirt about one of the Steelers' rivals! Talk about unpleasant obsessions.
Toby: You have to understand that the Ravens are actually the original Cleveland Browns. Though the rivalry isn't as balley-hooed (sp.?) as the Yankees-Sox, there is probably as much animosity between Pittsburghers and Clevelanders.
When I visited Pittsburgh (along with Levi's sister) a couple of years ago, we left the same day as the first-round playoff game in which the Steelers came back from a huge deficit to beat the "new" Browns.
It was quite evident all across town how Pittsburgh felt about the Browns.
thatbob: "Ballyhooed," according to Google and m-w.com.
Um, thanks Levi, I had never before seen the sausage race as a metaphor for becoming distracted from our Christian faith by the smaller details of Christian community. That's because I'm not a batshit crazy Christian looking for a homily metaphor in every moment of modern life! Did you look at John2117.org? It's jaw-droppingly amazing!


On March 25, 2015, SWF Project Manager Laura Delgado López moderated the Women in Weather Google+ Hangout, co-organized by the American Astronautical Society (AAS) and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and presented by Northrop Grumman. The event was a follow-on activity to the successful Overcoming Extreme Weather hangout held last September. Ms. Delgado López serves on the AAS Board of Directors and on the Special Events Committee that co-organized both events.
As part of a celebration of National Women's History Month, the hangout was designed to raise awareness of the unique career opportunities available in the world of weather, particularly for women, who currently represent a minority in the industry.
During the hourlong discussion, panelists highlighted the value of observations from satellites and other platforms to inform decision making in their different industries, particularly to help protect lives an property. This included the safety of firefighters during wildfires, of passengers and crew flying through a storm, of workers in an offshore oil rig, and more. They also highlighted the sense of responsiblity metereoligsts have when it comes to communicating weather information to the public. Panelists also discussed their own experiences getting into the field of metereology, how it has evolved and the role of technology in this evolution, as well as valuable advice they have gained throughout their careers.
The hangout was viewed live by people all over the world, including participants in Chile, India, and the United Kingdom. An estimated 62 percent of viewers were women.

As the Caped Crusader begins to unravel this deadly mystery, he discovers a conspiracy going back to his youth and beyond to the origins of the city he's sworn to protect. Could the Court of Owls, once thought to be nothing more than an urban legend, be behind the crime and corruption? Or is Bruce Wayne losing his grip on sanity and falling prey to the pressures of his war on crime?

The Signal Flame
November 21, 2016 ~ finnellj
In his debut novel, Sojourn, Krivák introduced Jozef Vinich, a young soldier coming of age in the trenches of World War I. Here, the story begins in the early 1970s with Vinich's death in the small Pennsylvania mountain town where he built both a car eer and family. His grandson, Bo, is left behind to care for his widowed mother and tend to his grandfather's mill and property. Along with the land, Bo also inherits the generational feud between his family and the Youngers that ultimately led to the death of his father. It's a dispute recently complicated by his brother, who is now missing in action in Vietnam, impregnating Ruth Younger, the daughter of his father's killer. Though buckling under the weight of grief and family expectations, Bo ultimately finds reconciliation and closure through the darkest of family tragedies. VERDICT With studied language and a strong sense of place, Krivák elucidates how family structures and narratives fractured, maintained, and evolved between World War I and the Vietnam War.

David Knapp-Fisher – Q: How Are We Supposed To Deal With Life's Difficult News? A: How The Hell Should I Know?
Q: How Are We Supposed To Deal With Life's Difficult News? A: How The Hell Should I Know?
Last week our family got some difficult news – you know, the kind of news that is a really BIG deal and throws most people for a major loop – me included. And out of respect for those involved, I won't give the exact details of what's going on; but it's the sort of news akin to hearing from your doctor (a) "We've found a lump" or (b) "Are you the parent of (insert name here)" by a couple of somber-looking cops that might show up at your house at 3 a.m. some Sunday morning.
And don't worry: No-one around here has been recently diagnosed with cancer or has perished in a fiery post-drinking-binge car crash – however the news we got has still nonetheless shaken me to the core, and wondering: How do people deal with the difficult news – "difficult" being defined as really life-changing news – that they get, especially when it's regarding a serious situation like – let's say – described in the cartoon above?
Let's face it: As much as we hear about terrible things in the media ("ISIS beheads two more Western Journalists") or read about them on Facebook ("Robin Williams dies in apparent suicide") nothing can compare us for when something really tragic happens to either us, or someone we actually love and care about. (Note: Those journalists and Robin Williams had families, right? This is what I'm talking about) – How are these folks dealing with the kind of shocking, horrific news they all received; and then, how do they eventually move on and live with it?
The last "big" news I remember getting is when my son Tristan was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy way back in 2,000 – and although it was a big deal, since there was no immediate physical change to him, and he was too young to really know what was going on, it was all just sort of status quo. I just processed the information, then used the time I had to go out and show him some excellent adventures that would take all our minds off of what else was going on. As the illness progressed, we already knew what to expect so there was no big sudden shock to deal with.
Or there's this: One morning around April 1990 I went into work, only to be pounced upon by my business partner the second I walked through the door. He grabbed me by the shoulder, and in his thick Aussie accent said : "Oh Mate, yer mum called and yer dad died last night – sorry". Okay…? I jumped in the car, and drove due North for a couple of hours to my parent's home. There I found my brother busy on the phone trying to get the other siblings organized, while mom busied herself in a stoic fashion in order to keep her mind off the fact that her husband of 44 years just passed. She said she "knew something was wrong", but after all, dad had been sick for a while so his death wasn't a total surprise to us.
Or even this: 3 years later I got a similar call from my brother saying "Mom died last night" (brevity obviously being part of the Knapp-Fisher "passing-on-of-vital-information" code) and so we went through it all again, except that mom was sick but didn't let any of us know. The truth is that once my dad – the only love of her life – died, she pretty much gave up and kept her illnesses to herself. Still, since she didn't lead a very healthy lifestyle so again, her death didn't come as a total shock… not like the news we got this week.
So for now, it appears my past history doesn't offer up much in the way of help for me to deal with this sudden new development, or how it will affect our lives. I guess all I can do is hope for the best, and try to keep everyone involved in good spirits by minimizing the scary thoughts and fuzzy flow of information, and just keep on living every day the best we can, right? I mean, because what else can any of us do when life hands us a tough bit of news?
On the flip side, maybe – just maybe – we can "re-frame" the whole deal as effectively as these guys did… only time will tell. I'll keep you posted and let you know how we make out.


One of my beloved childhood places to visit is the Canyon Lake Library. Ever since I was 6 or 7 years old, it is the one place that is usually guaranteed a visit every week, if not more, during much of the summer. It will always be a memorable place at which I picked up my food. Brain food, that is.
At first, it was story time. The wonderful Ms. Ginny always had a great story at hand as we gathered around. My mom did very much the same thing at bedtime with the books we had borrowed that day.
Soon enough, I began to read on my own and discovered the incredible narratives and classics that teem with adventures and life lessons alike. Starting with the "Magic Tree House" and the "Hardy Boys," I plowed my way through swathes of great mysteries, good ol' quests and fairytales.
At age 7, I read through the first book of what was to become Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle, "Eragon," and didn't understand most of it. But, it was my first 500-plus page book! A couple of years later, during a lazy summer, I set another reading milestone for myself: reading through the whole Harry Potter series in 12 days (all seven books, each from nearly 300 to 900 pages).
From there, I read the classics and other newer stories: "Treasure Island," "Sherlock Holmes" (the original series), "Island of the Blue Dolphins," "Percy Jackson," "Ranger's Apprentice," "Lord of the Rings" and so many more.
In recent years, I have tried to read the more modern classics, having already read some of the older epics, fables and tall tales. "The Portrait of Dorian Gray," "Lord of the Flies" (I still feel bad for Piggy), "Brave New World" and "1984" are among some of the most recent reads.
Somewhere along the way, my dad introduced choice books about war that exposed me to the realities of that experience, helping dispel much of the utter nonsense that surrounds the ideas of the military from a youth's mind and gave me clearer examples of what true heroes and leaders look like.
And in the last two years, I have begun reading books that introduce a whole other kind of reading: true brain food.
Mostly thanks to the Torrey Youth Academy, I have read authors like C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Plato, John Locke, Thomas, Hobbes and many more. These authors are a mash of philosophical, political or religious writers that expound on finer points of our existence on this little speck of matter called Earth.
Would you like to know the funniest thing about these authors? They pointed me back to where I had begun my journey: with the fables and fairytales.
These authors thereby helped me realize the value in continuing to read for fun, while letting me discover the crucial need to read books that exposed me to ideas, values and ways to better myself.
For a good while I believed that I had wasted days of my life by reading fiction and old tales. But then I realized that reading is quite like eating. One eats the normal fare of meat and vegetables: the necessary things to survive. But what fun is eating only the necessities? What about the sweeter fare found in bread, snacks and dessert?
There appears to be, like most things in life, a crucial balance. If you eat only meat and vegetables, you might be healthy and sustained, but that is all you will be. If you eat only snacks and desserts, you might be quite a bit less healthy and sustained, but alive nonetheless. Sure, you might run across a bad egg here or a rotten apple there, but many of the options out there can only provide nutrients for the active human.
It is the same with books. For the healthy mind, one will want to have portions of poetry, worldview, politics and self-help. Then one will likely desire something to snack on, savory helpings found in Shakespearian pies, mystery cakes, and epic cookies. More often than not, though, you discover that these "snacks" have a lot more substance to them than originally thought.


It's hard to believe that on May 18th of this year, we will have occupied our home for twenty-five years. During that period we have watched our sons grow from teenagers to manhood, observed their college graduations, sent them off to war, witnessed marriages, and welcomed our grandchildren.
To say that these haven't been enjoyable' years would fly in the face of reality. They have been wonderful years! And one of the wonders has been the enjoyment of living in our house.
The pleasure of living in a home that turns is difficult to describe to one who has never had that opportunity. There were many surprises for us to absorb and some to overcome.
The very configuration of the house has given us advantages we never contemplated. First, the house sits high, relative to the surrounding landscape. We find that animals such as deer, fox and rabbits don't seem to look up. They will graze through the field as though we don't exist, even though we're sitting on the deck carrying on conversations in a normal way.
The house has brought us very close to nature. With floor-to-ceiling windows, unfettered by the usual draperies, we have now witnessed twenty-five cyclic changes of the seasons. We have learned when the swallows will arrive, April 12th, and open our garage to welcome them as tenants. We know when other migratory birds will arrive, and act accordingly by cleaning out the bluebird houses and changing the type of feed in the feeders.
Only in the last two years have we felt the need for air conditioning — and then only for no more than two weeks each year. We can turn the desired room into the breeze, even on the hottest summer day, and be cooled by its wafting through the house. We can duplicate the procedure, if cold, to take advantage of the sun. By turning slowly on the coldest days of the year, the solar gain is sufficient during the daytime to.make the use of the furnace unnecessary.
And I've saved the best part until last. The sheer joy of being able to greet dinner guests at this time of the year, so that they can share a spectacular sunset with us while sipping cocktails. Then turning to a moon rise during dinner in the dining room. After dinner enjoy the warmth of the fire and watch a deer or other animal cross the fields and woods that are highlighted with outdoor lights.
Twenty-five Years ago, before the environmental movement took root, we considered the challenge of our impact on nature. The house is inscribed by a circle seventy-two feet in diameter, but only one hundred eighty square feet, a circle fifteen feet in diameter, supports the floor and anchors the house to the ground much as the stem of a mushroom supports the head. It achieves . the intended purpose of allowing the landscape to flow gently under and around the house with a minimal disturbance of nature. The land was a grazing meadow before we built and that is the way it is today.
Oil was five cents a gallon when the house was conceived. Why not build it with all glass walls? Two hundred twenty feet of glass, 9 feet high. Who heard or cared about solar gain or loss of heat through the glass? Now that oil is ninety plus cents a gallon, we do care! But, the house is a perfect solar trap during the day, as aforementioned, and by pulling down shades at night, we burn no more oil than a conventional house of similar size.
I've been asked many times if I would sell the plans and have always answered "no" for a number of reasons. First, it is our home, and I treat the design with the same respect I would treat it as though I designed it for a client. I would not repeat their plans, or sell them to another client. Secondly, the social climate has changed. I took endless is financial risks in building the house. Everything had to go right — and I had to be there every day to see that it did. That attention would be difficult to duplicate today. I also had help from a number of wonderful people — and several local corporations that made everything go smoothly. I had an understanding town government,' and a cooperative building department to assist me. Now I believe it would be different, and I doubt that I would have either the patience or financial resources to battle the design through all the protective agencies that have been formed since those comparatively simple days.
The mechanism that turns the house should be able to travel a long way into the future. The company that built the bearing assembly reassured me that it could run continuously for eighty-five years before wearing out. How that equates to the future longevity of the structure is difficult to calculate. It was not designed to run continuously — but rather to turn intermittently when a whimsical change of scenery is desired. Yes, someone said once, that it is a most expensive way to change the wallpaper, and they might be right. Nobody, however, has ever guaranteed me that I can take anything into the next world, so why not enjoy this one to the maximum in the way I live. Wallpaper indeed! Let's turn the living room to the pond and watch the geese when they come in to land.


Examine Reasons That Forced America To Withdraw From Vietnam War?
The prolongation of the war created strong reaction even with the U.S.
It was clear that the US had failed to achieve its objectives.
The Vietnamese resistance had not been crushed; The support of the Vietnamese people for US action had not been won.
Thousands of young US soldiers had lost their lives.
The widespread questioning of the government policy strengthened moves to negotiate an end to the war.
US media and films played a major role in both supporting as well as criticizing the war.

Navy's new attack submarine named Colorado to join the fleet
By: Jennifer McDermott, The Associated Press March 16, 2018

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The U.S. Navy's newest attack submarine, the USS Colorado, will go into service Saturday at the Naval Submarine Base in Connecticut.
Cmdr. Reed Koepp, the Colorado's commanding officer, says it's an exciting time for the crew, shipbuilders, the local community in Connecticut and the state of Colorado. The submarine is "ready to protect the homeland and project our power forward," he added.
"We're really looking forward to this Saturday when we can introduce the Colorado as an official naval asset," Koepp said.

The 377-foot-long sub weighs about 7,800 tons submerged. It can fight submarines and surface ships, conduct surveillance and deliver Special Operations troops. It has two large tubes that can launch six Tomahawk missiles each.
The Colorado is the first attack submarine where sailors use an Xbox controller to maneuver the photonics masts, which replaced periscopes, Koepp said. Other submarines have joysticks. Using commercial off-the-shelf technology saves money, and young sailors report to the submarine knowing how to use it, Koepp said.
Koepp leads 130 men, including crew members from Brighton, Denver and Littleton, Colorado. Women serve on submarines but they haven't been assigned to the Colorado. One-fifth of submarine crews are integrated.

It took submarine supply businesses nationwide and thousands of shipyard employees in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Virginia to build the Colorado, the 15th member of the Virginia class of submarines.
Attack submarines are built in a partnership between General Dynamics Electric Boat in Connecticut and Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia. They cost about $2.7 billion apiece.
"Compared to prior generations of submarines, Colorado is bigger, faster and overall much more capable, and should serve as a compelling deterrent to our adversaries," said U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, a Connecticut Democrat who will welcome the audience at Saturday's ceremony.
U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, a Colorado Republican, will give the keynote address. He plans to talk about the work the submarine's crew will carry out and how proud he is of the state of Colorado's role in the nation's defense.
"This commissioning will be a special day for our country and for Colorado," he said in a statement.
Annie Mabus, the daughter of former Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, will give the order to bring the ship to life before the crew boards the vessel.
More than 2,000 Navy officials, politicians, shipbuilders, local community leaders and guests of the crew are expected at the ceremony. It will be livestreamed online. The submarine will remain in Groton after the commissioning.
It's the fourth U.S. Navy ship named Colorado. The first Colorado, launched in 1856, saw action in the Civil War. The second escorted convoys of men and supplies to England during World War I and the third supported operations in the Pacific during WWII, surviving two kamikaze attacks and earning seven battle stars, according to the Naval History and Heritage Command.
The first Colorado was named for the Colorado River because the state didn't come into existence until 1876. The others were named for the state.

The Chinese Ministry of Construction and the Dutch Ministry of Housing agreed on the cooperation on sustainable building in China. The cooperation consists of de definition of several demonstration projects in different areas of China (Fig. 2.22). Within these projects, mostly large developments, knowledge about the integration of measures, which increase the preparedness of the area for changes in climate, is exchanged and implemented in the plans. The aim is to improve the quality of integrated and adaptive spatial plans.
The Chinese context differs from the Western one.
The pace of developments is fundamentally different. The full continue workforce in the building sector leads to the draft of plans and designs almost during the ongoing building process. This offers chances, but contains some difficulties too. The chances can be found in the fact that a design is never final until it is built. This means that until the very last phase of planning and design the integration of climate adaptive measures can be realised. The other side of it is that planning processes are running so fast it is hardly possible to propose adjustments because actuality shifts from one day to the next. If adaptation measures are implemented in the planning process they will be realised immediate.
The second aspect of the Chinese context is the strong hierarchy. Central regulations will be carried out throughout the country and will be executed immediately. Until a certain measure is declared form Beijing no one would think about these measures, but the moment a declaration from Beijing is known everyone implements it. This results in a very effective implementation of measures if the congress agrees on them. For example: since the congress decides on energy saving measures energy-saving lamps can be found around the country.
Another characteristic is the attitude of the Chinese. They are very curious about new developments and technologies. Different from the Western style, which sticks in planning processes often in proven techniques and old traditions, the Chinese are open to new findings and ideas. This leap frogging of simply skipping the phase of sector based planning makes it easier to implement climate adaptation measures.
The last relevant contextual element is the competitiveness between Chinese project developers. These parties are conscious of the fact that they can profit from rapid developments, but in order to continue their building pace and selling schemes, they need to distinguish themselves from the others. This makes green building and the implementation of adaptation measures popular and the developers have a srrong emphasis on becoming a demonstration project. This competing and scoring in trying to be the best developer leads also to immediate implementation of adaptation measures in the projects.


"Speaking in tongues" forms a major part of Charismatic and Pentecostal Christian life.
There is a common belief among Pentecostals, Charismatics, and some other Christians the Holy Spirit, within the believer, uses glossolalia 1,2 (speaking in tongues) as a method of talking to God the Father in heaven. i.e. two Persons of the Trinity communicate through the believer. Some support this concept with the text of Romans 8:26 which says that the Holy Spirit makes intercessions for us with God with groanings that words cannot express. The "groanings" phrase may mean that these intercessions cannot be spoken in the words of a human language, but only when the individual is in a state of religious ecstasy and speaking in the language of God.
Conservative Christian groups generally teach that believers are "saved" or "born again" when they repent of their sins and trust Jesus as Lord and Savior. Some denominations teach that, at the time that they area saved, or slightly later, the believer will be "baptized of the Holy Spirit." One manifestation of this baptism is the gift of speaking in tongues (aka glossolalia).
For example: The "SALVATION: Heaven on Earth" web site says: "Anyone who is saved is ready to receive [the Holy Spirit]...[Later] when you are Baptised in the Holy Spirit, you too will speak in tongues." 4 This gift of "tongues" is considered proof they have been baptized in the Holy Spirit. And since only saved believers can be so baptized, speaking in tongues is proof that their religious conversion is a valid one, and that the Holy Spirit is dwelling within them.
Other denominations have different views about "tongues." Some take a neutral view. Some consider it evidence of demon possession, and conclude that the believer needs to be exorcised. Although this phenomenon plays a large role in the lives of many tens of millions of conservative Christians, little attention has been paid to it by the scientific community.
The first type is experienced by everyone who has been truly saved. They will speak "in a language that no man understands or interprets." 3 This is normally spoken in private, not in church.
The second type is seen in public meetings. These are the "different kinds" of tongues that St. Paul cites in verse 10. Here, the speaker and/or an interpreter are able to decipher the meaning of the glossolalia to the congregation. Not everyone has received this second gift. It is an additional, special gift, which is only given to some Christians.
In verse 23, St. Paul refers to the entire church coming together and speaking in tongues. Many Pentecostals interpret this verse literally: that every member of the congregation at Corinth spoke in tongues. Other Christians might consider this as an exaggeration that Paul used for literary effect. He might have meant that too many members speaking in tongues simultaneously would reduce the meeting to chaos. Any non-believers who passed by might think that the congregation was insane. He put an upper limit of three persons speaking in tongues. But if no person with the gift of interpreting was present, then there should be no speaking in tongues.
Is helped to lead a holy life.
Becomes more attached to Jesus Christ.
Becomes a more effective witness.
Experiences greater joy in spiritual service.
This is not necessarily a one-shot event. As believers serve the Lord, there is an consumption of their spiritual power. They interpret Ephesians 5:17-18 "Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit." as instructing believers to seek refilling as needed with the Holy Spirit.
The United Pentecostal Church was founded in 1945 by the merger of the Pentecostal Church, Incorporated, and the Pentecostal Assemblies of Jesus Christ. They have a worldwide membership of about 4 million people. They interprets the "birth of the Spirit" and the "baptism of the Spirit" as synonymous terms. It is an emotionally overwhelming experience.
In a World Aflame Press tract 10 on its home page, 11 They state that: "One vital reason why God chose other tongues as the initial sign of receiving the Holy Ghost is that speaking in tongues is an immediate, external evidence. There are many other evidences of the operation of the Spirit of God in a person's life, but it is a matter of time before they are manifest...Another reason why God chose other tongues as the initial sign of receiving the Spirit is that speaking in tongues is a uniform evidence. It applies to everyone, regardless of race, culture, or language."
The gift of tongues is considered proof a person has been saved - i.e. that their religious conversion is a valid one, and that the Holy Spirit is dwelling within them. They conclude that if a person does not speak in tongues, then they have not been saved. Perhaps the person had not been truly repentant of their sins, or did not fully trust Jesus as Lord and Savior. For whatever reason, salvation was not achieved. At death, they would go to eternal punishment in Hell with the other 90% or more of the human race who are not saved. This implies that, in the opinion of the UPCI, the vast majority of Christians, and the vast majority of saved Christians will spend eternity in Hell.
This is a smaller Pentecostal denomination with a membership of about 75,000 in the U.S.
Although this appears to indicate that a person who does not speak in tongues is not saved, the denomination does not consider that speaking in tongues is a requirement for salvation. Also, it is not a requirement for membership in the church.
Most other conservative Christian denominations teach that speaking in tongues and other gifts of the Holy Spirit were only given to Christians during the time that the apostles were alive. They ceased permanently in the second century CE. They are not given today. They recognize the same criteria for salvation (repentance and trust in Jesus) as do the Pentecostals. But baptism of the Holy Spirit or speaking in tongues is not expected. In practice, the latter is rarely seen within their churches. Some consider speaking in tongues as evidence of demonic possession.
Many liberal churches doubt the occurrences of many of the miracles discussed in the Christian Scriptures. Some might interpret the 1st century CE experience with tongues to be simple religious myths. Others might interpret the event symbolically.
They generally interpret modern-day speaking in tongues to be a byproduct of a state of religious ecstasy, without any informational content.
Agnostics, Atheists, Humanists, and other Secularists would probably agree.
As noted above, most conservative Christians believe that the gift of tongues was not given to all believers during the lifetimes of the apostles. They believe that some received the gift of tongues, while others received a gift of administrative competence, the ability to translate tongues, etc. No one gift was given to all believers. No one believer received all of the gifts. They also believe that these gifts were phased out after the time of the Apostles. Some even suspect that people who speak in tongues today may be demon possessed.
But Pentecostals generally feel that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are given today to Christians just as they were in the 1st century CE. Further, some Pentecostals say that if a person does not speak in tongues, that they have not been truly saved. Other Pentecostals say that some individuals are saved, but never receive the gift of tongues; the decision is up to God.
Needless to say, these conflicting beliefs about tongues generates much inter-denominational ill will. Members of a Southern Baptist congregation might view members of a neighboring congregation of United Pentecostal Church International speaking in tongues. The Baptists might believe that most believers in that congregation may be demon-possessed. Meanwhile the Pentecostals, noticing that few if any of the Southern Baptists speak in tongues, might conclude that almost none of the Baptists have been truly saved; the vast majority will spend eternity being tortured in Hell without hope of relief.
Both groups of conservative Christians hold very similar beliefs about theology, personal behavior, sin, etc.
Both agree that the unsaved will go to Hell for eternal punishment, while those who are saved will go to Heaven.
Both groups believe that salvation requires a person to repent of their sins and trust Jesus as Lord and Savior.
The vast majority of the members of both denominations believe that they have trusted Jesus and have been saved -- most as children or youths.
The Southern Baptist Convention does not teach "tongues." Most congregations probably frown on it. Some consider it evidence of demonic possession.
Pentecostals teach that "tongues" is a gift from God to most people -- or all person -- who is truly saved. Some consider a person who has not spoken in tongues to be unsaved. By this reasoning, almost all Southern Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, United Church members etc are unsaved and destined for Hell.
Speaking in tongues is almost never found among Southern Baptists. Speaking in tongues is almost universally found among Pentecostals.
Sociologists might conclude that Pentecostals speak in tongues during periods of religious ecstasy because it is expected of them. However, the individuals might well be unaware of this cause.
When Will/Did Speaking in Tongues Cease?
Pentecostals and Charismatics generally believe that speaking in tongues today is as much a gift of the Holy Spirit as it was during the time of the apostles.
Glossolalia: The Interpreter's One-Volume Commentary on the Bible defines glossolalia as: "the ecstatic utterance of emotionally agitated religious persons, consisting of a jumble of disjointed and largely unintelligible sounds. Those who speak in this way believe that they are moved directly by a divine spirit and their utterance is therefore quite spontaneous and unpremeditated."

Project/Activity Summary:
In 2010, a partnership was formed among the Kédougou Medical Region in Southeastern Senegal, the Institute of Health and Development at Cheikh Anta Diop University, Dakar, Senegal, Peace Corps Senegal, and the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). The stated overarching goal of this partnership was to improve access to quality primary health care services within the existing local health care system. By identifying local priorities and health service gaps, Kédougou health leaders and health workers established that the aims of partnership were to: 1) improve access to quality cervical cancer prevention services by strengthening the health care workforce and delivery systems in the Kédougou region and 2) inform the development and implementation of cervical cancer prevention programs in other rural regions of Senegal.
The cervical cancer incidence rate in Sénégal (37.8) is over five times greater than that in the U.S., and Sénégal ranks 17th in the world in the age-standardized incidence rate of cervical cancer. Human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence and cervical cancer burden in urban areas of Sénégal remains high. However, the prevalence of cervical cancer and dysplasia in rural regions is unclear. In Sénégal, HPV positivity is higher in older-aged women (over age 45) compared to other countries in Africa. Despite the high value of cervical cancer screening and treatment, the estimated participation rate for cervical cancer screening in Sénégal is very low (6.9% of all women ages 18 to 69). It is especially low in rural areas as well as in older age groups (1.9% of women ages 40 to 49 and 0% of women 50 or above)
Between 2010 and 2013, the partnership worked to build capacity across Kédougou to ensure cervical cancer screening access within the public health system (the only rural region through present to undertake this objective). In 2014, the partnership began to study the impact of a quality improvement program on the supply-side (health service level) determinants of cervical cancer screening and the implementation of regional health policy. By the end of 2014, the partnership had implemented regional-level cervical cancer clinical guidelines, introduced the EngenderHealth-developed Client Oriented Provider Efficient (COPE®) quality improvement process for cervical cancer and general health services, trained 63 health workers (mostly midwives) in the evidence-based and cost-effective screening technique of visual inspection of the cervix with acetic acid (VIA), and conducted a study to estimate the prevalence of cervical dysplasia in the region using VIA and assess risk factors for cervical cancer control. In 2016, the partnership initiated a study to investigate the demand-side (community level) cervical cancer screening access barriers and the impact of a peer-to-peer educational program on service utilization. To ensure long-term sustainability, the partnership has utilized a comprehensive systems approach in implementing cervical cancer prevention services. In 2019, we initiated a $265,000 project to build cervical cancer screening capacity in Kedougou and Tambacounda. Through this project, the partnership aims to train over 1,000 health personnel, community health workers, community educators, and administrators at all health centers, posts, and huts in two rural Senegal Regions (Kedougou and Tambacounda).

In the first of a two-part series of columns on Verdict, I discuss the case of Salinas v. Texas, in which the U.S. Supreme Court recently granted certiorari. The case asks the following question: Does a suspect who is not in custody and has received no Miranda warnings have the right to remain silent in response to a police officer's questions, such that a prosecutor is barred from introducing the defendant's prior silence at trial as affirmative evidence of his guilt? In my column, I analyze some of the case law that bears on this question and consider how the Court might rule.
In this post, I want to focus more generally on the question of penalties for the exercise of rights that this case necessarily raises. In Salinas, the petitioner argues that if the government can introduce his silence as proof of guilt, then the suspect essentially operates under a threat: you either answer our questions or the prosecutor will tell the jury about your silence and ask for an inference of guilt. As Salinas sees it, this threat, by making the exercise of his right costly, pressures the suspect into answering the officers' questions and thereby violates his right not to be compelled to give self-incriminating information. This may be a fair characterization of the choice that he faces, but it is useful to consider the exercise of other rights -- unrelated to criminal procedure -- to see whether the "evidence as penalty" principle can be sustained.
Consider the First Amendment right to free speech. You have the right to express an opinion that is unpopular and that may offend a majority of the population. For example, you may write a book called "The God Hallucination" arguing that there is no God and that people who believe in God are essentially psychotic and should receive no legal protection for acting on their psychosis. It would plainly be unconstitutional for the government to punish you for expressing that view in your book, just as it would be unconstitutional, under the Fifth Amendment, for a judge to put you in jail for contempt as a punishment for invoking the Fifth Amendment and refusing to answer the question "Did you murder anyone last year?"
If we step away from the scenario of direct penalties, however, the penalty principle dissipates relatively quickly. If you authored "The God Hallucination," for example, and then later came under (legitimate) suspicion for burning down a house of worship, the fact that you expressed the views that you did might prove relevant to showing your animus toward religious worship, especially if your book identified the targeted house of worship and stated that you would not be sad if someone decided to burn it down. Such statements might, in other words, become legitimately admissible evidence of your motive to inflict damage on the church in question, notwithstanding your First Amendment right to speak as you did and thereby express your feelings about religion generally and about the victimized church in particular.
One could persuasively argue that the admissibility of your anti-religion statements at your criminal trial could have led you and could well lead others in the future to become reticent about expressing antipathy to religion. In terms of state action, then, one could accurately claim that introducing a person's expression of unpopular views at his criminal trial imposes a cost on such expression that could have a chilling effect on people expressing unpopular views. Like using a defendant's silence as evidence against him, introducing his speech could serve to chill the costly (but constitutionally protected) behavior in question.
I mention this comparison to Free Speech because it highlights the fact that whenever we introduce evidence of an individual's conduct or statements relevant to that individual's guilt or innocence, we place a price on that conduct. And if the conduct is constitutionally protected, then that price may chill the exercise of a constitutional right. Yet we rarely consider the introduction of a person's actions or statements into evidence at trial as a constitutionally invalid penalty for those actions or statements. Determining whether a person is guilty or innocent often requires a jury (or judge) to find out what sorts of feelings and motives the person on trial has, and one of the best ways to make such an assessment is by examining the person's behavior and communications in the past. If a person is known to possess the sort of firearm used in a crime, for example, the fact that the possession might itself be lawful and even constitutionally protected under the Second Amendment does not shield it from admission as evidence bearing on the case before the jury (or judge).
To some degree, distinguishing between an unconstitutional penalty and the simple introduction of probative evidence at trial is thus a judgment call rather than a straightforward factual or legal assessment. As we know from Griffin v. California, the law regards it as an unconstitutional penalty for the prosecutor to comment on a defendant's failure to take the witness stand at his own criminal trial, notwithstanding the arguable relevance of that failure to a factual assessment of guilt and innocence. And we know as well that the law permits the introduction of a defendant's failure to claim self-defense prior to receiving Miranda warnings, when offered to impeach a defendant's self-defense claims at trial, notwithstanding the pressure it places on suspects to speak when they would rather remain silent. In this sense, figuring out whether to call the introduction of behavior into evidence an unconstitutional penalty will resemble the calculations that surround decisions about whether to recognize (and how broadly to recognize ) a particular evidentiary privilege.
When we decide to recognize a privilege, we are deciding that a relationship (for example, between husband and wife) is not adequately protected by the fact that couples have the right to marry but that it must be further protected by shielding some of the couple's conduct -- including confidential communications -- from evidentiary disclosure. Whether to privilege a suspect's silence in this way similarly requires us (or, more accurately, requires the Justices on the U.S. Supreme Court) to determine how much is lost to the Fifth Amendment privilege in deterring silence to the extent that admissibility for the prosecutor's case in chief will deter silence, and measuring the loss against how much is gained by such admissibility in the pursuit of truth. Like so much in the law, it may come down to a value-laden cost/benefit analysis.
In this sense, figuring out whether to call the introduction of behavior into evidence an unconstitutional penalty will resemble the calculations that surround decisions about whether to recognize (and how broadly to recognize ) a particular evidentiary privilege.

I hope you laugh together every day.
I hope you found a name solution that both keepers and takers are happy with, no matter who they may be.
I hope you had a conversation about the extent to which you will merge your finances, if at all.
I hope you had a conversation about who will support whom when a career opportunity arises.
I hope your husband will man up and be uninfluenced by societal norms should you turn out to be the primary breadwinner.
I hope that you share household chores according to ability, not tradition.
I hope you come to a decision to have children (or not) and how many based on what you want, not because society tells you all women should reproduce.
I hope that, if you have children, both of you will take parental leave, either together or sequentially. That you will form a primary caretaking team, uninfluenced by the traditional division of labor.
I hope that, once your children are older, you will try to find a way for both of you to fulfill your professional dreams. Or, should one of you chose to stay home, that you make that choice based on inclination and opportunities, not tradition.
Allow me to address the elephant in the room: divorce. Of course that is not part of my good wishes for you. But should that be in the cards, I hope you will figure out an amicable, as-painless-as-possible way. Maybe you even have a non-gender-discriminating prenup – good for you! Divorce is actually a freeing concept – think about how old you'll probably get. There is no reason for spending five decades with someone who was only "The One" for the first two. There might be Another for the other three. I hope you divide assets and responsibilities according to abilities and inclination, not tradition. Personally, I like the idea of the kids staying where they are and the parents taking turns coming to live with them.
I hope you'll organize elderly care as you did childcare – as a team, according to availability and inclination, not tradition, outsourcing certain aspects to keep your sanity and your self.
I hope he never makes you feel inadequate or not enough simply due to the natural process of aging.
I hope you'll enjoy old age together as much as you did courtship – with more aches and prescription medications, but just as much humor and love.
I hope you enjoy widowhood, should you not have strategically married someone younger so you'd have the same life expectancy.

The surprising history of the Texas bluebonnet
April 8, 2022 •
Best state flower, hands down (we might be a bit biased). | 📸 : @photofishtexan
Where did the name come from?
The role of women in choosing the flower
Where to see bluebonnets
One look outside on a short drive around town is proof enough that spring has sprung, and the bluebonnets are in full bloom.
There's nothing that fills us with Lone Star pride quite like looking out at the fields + highways lined with our gorgeous state flower, but at one point you may have wondered what makes this flower special?
Well, the history of the bluebonnet might surprise you.
On March 7, 1901, the Texas Legislature adopted the bluebonnet as the state flower.
The flower is actually found in at least five different Lupinus species variations, however, only one bears the official name Lupinus texensis (amended on March 8, 1971) — yeehaw.
The flower's common name was derived from its resemblance to a sunbonnet, which pioneer women would wear to protect themselves from the sun.
Lupinus, which roughly translates to 'of the wolf' or 'wolf-ish' in latin. The bluebonnet was once known as the Wolf Flower, perhaps due to the 'claw-like' petals that make up the keel.
Texas lawmakers (all men, at that time) originally wanted the cactus (for hardiness and orchid-like beauty) or cotton to represent the state. However, the National Society of Colonial Dames of America successfully petitioned their case for the Lupinus subcarnosus.
In 1933, 'Bluebonnets,' written by Julia D. Booth and Lora C. Crockett was adopted as the state flower song. While we couldn't find a recording, you can read the lyrics.
Even today, our deep love for bluebonnets and Texas history continues to grow with books like 'Bluebonnet at the Alamo,' written by Mary Brooke Casad.
Can't make the drive? Head to SAMA to see Onderdonk's bluebonnet paintings. | 📸 : @ando_kurohige
Peak bluebonnet season extends from late-March to mid-April. Lucky for you, we're just a short drive away from the Texas Hill Country which often offers the best climate for the native Texan wildflower. From Fredericksburg to Marble Falls, here are a few places to stop.
Check out the Willow City Loop and Highway 16 between Fredericksburg and Llano. Expect a narrow two-lane ranch road that winds for 13 miles through some of the oldest and most unique geology in central Texas.
The Highland Lakes Bluebonnet Trail is not to disappoint with a 'drive-yourself' tour. You can even pick up a map at the Lake Buchanan Chamber of Commerce or the Marble Falls Convention and Visitors Bureau offices.
Take a tour through the Western Kerr, Bandera & Real County Scenic Drive, and don't forget to bring your camera.
Speaking of cameras, here are some pro tips when trying to get that perfect snapshot.
Avoid shooting in the middle of the day. Instead try to shoot early or late in the day when the sun is lower in the sky (30 minutes after sunrise and 30 minutes before sunset).
Try using the backlighting technique. When the sun shines through the petals, it gives them an iridescent glow. Use a flash to front-light the subject and fill in the shadows.
Scout first, shoot later. If you're serious about the perfect shot, consider a two-day expedition to plan where to return for that perfect spot at the perfect time the following day.
Don't pick the bluebonnets. While it isn't illegal, stomping or picking them won't let them go into the seeding stage for the next year.

Effects of Inlet Geometry on Hydraulic Performance of Box Culverts

CHAPTER 5. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
MINIFLUME EXPERIMENTS
A miniflume was used to conduct experiments to optimize the bevel edges of the wing walls and top edges using two-dimensional PIV. The miniflume was 2800 millimeters (mm) (109.2 inches) long and 450 mm (17.6 inches) wide (figure 27). The culvert model and bevel models (figure 28) were constructed with Plexiglas to avoid reflections. The scale of the models was 1:30. The upstream flow conditioning was achieved using filter mats and honeycomb flow straighteners. The sidewalls of the flume were made of glass, allowing excellent flow visibility. The flow discharge could be varied between 0 and 5 liters per second (L/s) (0 and 1.32 gallons per second (gal/s)). An ultrasonic distance meter measured the flow depth. An electromagnetic velocity probe measured the approach velocity.
A two-dimensional PIV system typically consists of several subsystems. In most applications, tracer particles are added to the flow. These particles are illuminated in a plane of the flow at least twice within a short time interval. The light scattered by the particles is recorded either on a single frame or on a sequence of frames. The displacement of the particle images between the light pulses is determined using cross correlation techniques. In this study, the camera, a charge coupled device (ccd) camera, used for PIV recordings, was a Roper Scientific MEGAPLUS® Model ES1.0 digital camera. The camera was a stand-alone device connected to a frame grabber card (NI PXI 1422) by a PXI computer. To generate the light sheet, a double-pulsed Solo PIV 120 laser was used. The Solo PIV 120 laser is a compact, dual laser head system designed to provide a highly stable green light source for PIV applications.

PIV–Post Processing
The evaluation of the two-dimensional PIV data results in instantaneous velocity vectors of the flow field. To study the contracted area in the culvert, it was useful to integrate the velocity fields resulting in stream function and potential function. The integration is based on the assumption that the integrand, which is the flow field, is two-dimensional as well as incompressible. In this case, potential theory relates the velocity field, U = (U (X,Y), V (X,Y)), to the stream function Ψ, which can be integrated over the domain (X,Y plane) as shown in figure 29. Fifty double-image frames were recorded to correlate 50 velocity flow field samples. The integration procedure for the stream functions was applied by taking the average of the velocity flow field sequence.
Seven different bevel edge conditions were tested for the miniculvert setup (figure 30). The criterion to determine the best bevel performance was the contracted distance outside the viscous boundary layer (effective flow depth at vena contracta).

CULVERT SETUP EXPERIMENTS
The culvert setup consists of two water tanks (a headbox 2.44 m (8 ft) long by 2.44 m (8 ft) wide by 1.22 m (4 ft) high and a tailbox 2.44 m (8 ft) long by 1.83 m (6 ft) wide by 0.92 m (3 ft) high) that were connected to the tested culvert barrel (figures 31 to 34). Five electronic pressure sensors were integrated into the bottom floor of the head and tailbox. An additional 40 pressure sensors measured the hydraulic grade line inside the culvert model barrels. The side rails of the tailbox supported a two-dimensional robot to measure the velocity distribution inside the tailbox (figure 35). The robot was automated to measure an area perpendicular to the main flow direction. A laser distance sensor recorded the position of the robot in the flow direction. An automated tailgate at the downstream end of the tailbox allowed for adjustment of the tailwater depth. The culvert setup was fully automated (pump/flowmeter and tailgate/pressure sensor control logic) and was network controlled.
The experimental setup was based on flow being in alignment with the barrels. The barrels were tested for two different slope settings (3 percent and 0.7 percent). The purpose of the steep slope (3 percent) was to guarantee inlet control conditions. The flat (0.7 percent) slope was designed to simulate outlet control conditions and was controlled by the adjustable tailgate. The pressure sensors in the culvert barrel were evaluated for subcritical flow for each outlet control test run. If this was not the case, the tailgate was lowered until outlet control conditions were achieved. The velocity distribution at the exit of the culvert was also measured for each outlet control test run using an electromagnetic velocity probe mounted on a two-dimensional robot in the tailbox. Conclusions based on the recorded velocity distribution were made about the flow distribution in the barrels.

Inlet and Culvert Barrel Models
All barrels used for the tests were fabricated out of Plexiglas consisting of two 155.58-cm (61.25-inch) sections. Tapped holes for the pressure sensors were placed every 28.78 cm (11.33 inches) on the bottom side of the culvert model barrels. Special holes on the top and bottom of the barrels provided a mounting for the corner fillets. Two sets of model fillets (1.27 and 2.54 cm (0.5 and 1 inch)) were fabricated using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material.
The inlet models were designed to consist of modular parts (wingwalls, center walls, top plates) that were easily changed for various configurations. Tongue and groove connectors were used to assemble the models (figure 36).
Overviews of models tested in the culvert setup are listed in appendix A.

Q: Group by a boolean variable and create a new column with the result for each group pandas This may be a litte confusing, but I have the following dataframe:
exporter assets   liabilities

False      5          1
True       10         8
False      3          1
False      24         20
False      40         2
True       12         11

I want to calculate a ratio with this formula df['liabilieties'].sum()/df['assets'].sum())*100
And I expect to create a new column where the values are the ratio but calculated for each boolean value, like this:
exporter assets   liabilities   ratio

False      5          1         33.3
True       10         8         86.3
False      3          1         33.3
False      24         20        33.3
False      40         2         33.3
True       12         11        86.3

A: Use DataFrame.groupby on column exporter and transform the datafarme using sum, then use Series.div to divide liabilities by assets and use Series.mul to multiply by 100:
d = df.groupby('exporter').transform('sum')
df['ratio'] = d['liabilities'].div(d['assets']).mul(100).round(2)

Result:
print(df)
   exporter  assets  liabilities  ratio
0     False       5            1  33.33
1      True      10            8  86.36
2     False       3            1  33.33
3     False      24           20  33.33
4     False      40            2  33.33
5      True      12           11  86.36


The 2nd Amendment : Is It For Muskets Only?!
The Second Amendment: Is It For Muskets Only?!
Liberals have claimed for years that the Second Amendment was invented in the times of mere muskets, that it doesn't apply to today's weapons! The only problem with that, is that weaponry was far more advanced than leftists realize, and the founding fathers addressed this a LOOOONG time ago.
No. Stop that. Did you really not just watch the video and instead skip down to read more boring text? Crazy kid. Go watch the video, then come back.
Muskets has nothing to do with it, people. The Second Amendment was written so you would have the right to keep and bare arms not only in self defense, but to keep yourself safe from any form of tyrannical government.
It's not about the muskets. It's about your rights. It's the Second Amendment. And it's pretty dang awesome.
If you read the federalist papers you will learn that the purpose of the 2nd amendment was to prevent a government from disarming the populous and to allow citizenry the ability to overthrow a tyrannical government. In other words, to guns to protect ourselves from government. The founders recognized am armed public as a last check on freedom.
Absolutely! Their attacks on the 2nd Amendment of our Constitutional right to bear arms protects us when our own government CIA sets up another ISIS scenario in America.
You do realize they nobody is trying to take your guns, right?
You do realize you're wrong, right? Google is your friend. Probably the only one you have, but still your friend.
Use it. And try finishing your GED. "They" nobody?
I love the videos, but they are blocked while at work. How am I supposed to quote your references and clips if i can't use YouTube? Also, almost every gun related website I have come across is blocked on company networks, so I can't prove my statement that there were guns better than "muskets" around at the time of the constitutions writing.
Totally understand. Now if the Hipster you are chatting with makes this comeback "Submachine guns were legal once, and now in order to own one a person has to obtain a federal license." "That should happen for assault rifles" I do not want to have to license my AR… what can we do to help prevent that?
Oh go to hell. Chicago has gun control. Paris has gun control. Brussels has gun control. California has gun control. Has not helped. You can buy a gun illegally just like drugs if you want it. Morgan's if we have gun control it will not work.
