It has become increasingly clear that the Trump campaign, and subsequent administration, were in contact with Russia. We have all US Intel agencies asserting that Russia did in fact use a network of 1000+ operatives to influence the 2016 US Presidential Election.
We have allegations of pay offs, pay outs, off the record loans from Russian financiers and allegations that POTUS was actually compromised by Russia who then leveraged that information to force POTUS to push a pro Russia agenda.
We do know that the contact with Russia happened.
We do know that the White House attempted to enlist the FBI to influence media reports on the Russian contacts.
We do know that the White House has banned major news media outlets that reported on this accurately from attending press briefings while allowing fringe media outlets that only regurgitate the administration's narrative to attend.
We do know that the White House went directly to the heads of the Congressional Investigative committees and successfully enlisted them to contact the news media to quash the story and push the administration's narrative.
It is time for an independent investigation. A 9/11 Commission style investigation and a Watergate style special prosecutor.
Below are the members of Congress who are responsible for pushing an investigation of Trump and Russia.
Send them a postcard and call them every single day telling them that you want them to go forward, ignore the POTUS attempts to bury the information, and call for an independent investigation. Everyday until they do it.
…and please go to your MOC's local Town Hall Meetings and ask them about this. Wear a strip of tape across the back of your shirt, with your zip code written on it, and the phrase "Not Paid to Be Here. I am a constituent from [your zip code]. This helps hammer home the message that they work for you, and it helps turn back the talking point that Towhn Hall Attendees are professional agitators. You can find out where and when your Town Hall meetings are here.
(Introduce yourself). I want an independent investigation of Trump-Russia ties and a special prosecutor immediately.
Note: He's not on the committee this time but I thought it would be poetic justice if he was buried under voter requests. Your decision if you want to add him.
The germination of this idea comes from our Facebook follower Crystal R.
You can amplify this message and help makes this the largest Postcard Avalanche to date by sharing this far and wide across all platforms.

Donald Trump is a threat to the American people and everything we believe in. Millions are rising up in resistance, but too many Democrats have been enabling and collaborating with him instead.
Why threaten to primary Democrats?
The next crucial step is escalating our demands, and demonstrating that we won't accept anything less than full opposition—by showing Democrats just how many people are willing to back primary challenges to Democratic collaborators and enablers of Trump. Democrats must know there is a price for collaborating with Trump. Any Democrats who would give legitimacy or support to Trump do not represent us and must be replaced by people who will stand up for our lives, our values, and our democracy. Add your name.
What does it mean to fight Trump?
Democrats have a lot of power to stop Trump's agenda—if they choose to use it. If Democrats decided to fight, they could use Congressional rules of order to grind business as usual to a halt to stop the unconstitutional Muslim ban, fight the theft of a Supreme Court nomination, and demand Steve Bannon be fired, for instance. Instead, many Democrats seem to be operating under the delusional assumption that if they play nice with Trump, he'll magically become more reasonable. That kind of logic just results in us losing more ground every day—and it's why we need to hold Democrats' feet to the fire.
How will you decide who to primary?
The short answer is that we'll identify where we think we can make the biggest impact, and take direction from the growing resistance movement (including by surveying the people who sign up here.) This is a grassroots project, but there's no limit on how big we'll go if the support is there.
In the best case scenario, this pledge becomes a tool that successfully pushes Democrats to fight Trump harder. The goal is not (necessarily) to primary every Democrat in Congress, but to make the Democrats who are there do what we're asking them to do: fight Trump with all they've got. In other words, the most effective threat is one you don't have to follow through on.
We're a group of organizers and activists who have helped to build both mass movements and large-scale electoral programs. Many of us were involved in the Bernie campaign in 2016, and we saw what an army of small-dollar donors and volunteers can do when they commit themselves to something important. We believe in people power, and we're committed to helping translate the energy we've all seen in the streets since Trump took office into an electoral force capable of winning—starting in the primaries by defeating Democratic incumbents who are failing us.
The Rose Resistance is a national movement dedicated to advocating for freedom, equality, and democracy – American values currently under siege.

On a local level, we organize in our cities and communities to help protect the people most endangered by the Trump regime. Get involved. Your country needs you.
The Rose Resistance began in LA on the evening of November 8th and spread across the nation within a few days. Our organization is dedicated to advocating for freedom, equality, and democracy – American values currently under siege. This group welcomes people across the political spectrum who are ready to fight fascism and white supremacy. The Rose Resistance is committed to nonviolent resistance through information, advocacy, and physical presence. On a national level, we provide information to counter Trump propaganda. On a local level, we organize in our cities and communities to help protect the people most endangered by the Trump regime.
Our name is inspired by the White Rose, a nonviolent, intellectual resistance movement against the Nazis, founded by students in Munich in 1942. The White Rose stood for truth in the face of lies, bravery against the worst odds, and the duty of good people to stand up for each other. The motto of authoritarianism is, "It can't happen here." We have a ten-year head start on the White Rose. We are organizing before it is too late. Because it can happen here – unless we stop it.
The Rose Resistance provides Action Agenda To Do Lists, issues education and has regional chapters that you can join.

Non-Indigenous researcher Jeremy Steele completed his Master's thesis 'The Aboriginal Language of Sydney' at Macquarie University in 2005. His interests in history and languages led him to the story of European upheaval in Sydney in 1788 and eventually to the Sydney-language sentences recorded by First Fleeter William Dawes in notebooks kept in a London university library. Steele's way of coping with the words he came across was to make lists. In due course these became databases with thousands of entries. The insights afforded by the capacity of the databases to sort and match words were indispensable to the thesis.

The mind of a Gemini woman in love personality is always interested in bringing in new information and learning new things. There is no idle gossip from a Twin female.
All the communication will be information dense and serve as an exchange of self between yourself and them. All of this is driven by their mercurial nature, and a talented conversationalist can engage a Gemini woman for hours.
Gemini women are the ultimate social butterflies. You will find her calendar absolutely packed with many activities. You may find that she has breakfast with a friend before work, a lunch-time spa date with the girls, dance lessons after work.
And she will still come home to prepare dinner, all with a bright and cheerful smile upon her face. The drawback is that she will, of course, be hard to pin down in any way.
The Gemini woman in love personality traits show that she will always be eager to be up and off to do the next thing on her agenda. You'll need to keep up with her if you want to keep her interest, so be prepared for a busy life with the Gemini female.
If you're trying to attract the attention of a Gemini female, it's best to stimulate their always active and inquisitive minds.
Figure out what she's interested in and strike up a conversation about it, or bring up a topic you yourself love.
The Gemini woman in love personality is a dynamic and versatile creature. They flow from love interest to love interest like a butterfly flitting from flower to flower.
The Gemini woman in love traits show that in social gatherings their charm and fluidity makes them incredibly popular, as they flow from conversation to conversation, social group to social group, forever fluid, interesting, and bright.
This will result in this Gemini lover being very popular, with many admirers of both genders seeking out a moment in her light.
Know that her time for you will have to be carved out of her active social life, an element of her existence that is absolutely paramount to her health and happiness. An introverted Gemini lady is a rare thing indeed, so be prepared to involve yourself with an active and visible partner.
The Gemini woman in love characteristics show that these women are not terribly prone to or connected to security and stability, especially not in love. They are versatile and mobile, and can get bored and distracted from what's right in front of them.
However, it is not impossible for security to be a draw for them. As we've established, this Gemini personality is not terribly good at providing a solid foundation for itself, being far more interested in the airy and ephemeral areas of cerebral and social interaction.
If you are dating a Gemini woman, you need to keep up with her and provide a stable touch-stone for her otherwise fluid and chaotic life. This may be the very thing that draws her to you. Gemini women aren't good with 'foundations'.
The Gemini woman in love traits show that they have a strange approach to fidelity and sexuality. They tend to not be possessive or overly concerned in bed.
On one hand, it's a 'what's good for the goose is good for the gander' situation, she will have her infidelities, and allow you yours, as long as she knows you'll come home after.
She doesn't tend to react with jealousy if she shares good love compatibility with you. But she does require clear communication, a sense of fun and adventure, and freedom from possessiveness.
The Gemini woman in love characteristics show hat if you're looking for a long term commitment, which can be difficult to get out of a Gemini of any stripe, and the women are no different. They need dynamic interactions, flowing energy, and the freedom to keep active and explore new and wonderful things.
You'll need to provide that in your relationship with her if you expect her to remain interested and devoted. Trying to cull out their friends and family is the absolute worst mistake you could make if you wish to keep your Gemini lover happy.
All in all, when being in love with a Gemini woman, know that your life will be full of energy and zest, with new people and experiences coming in and out of your life every day.
The Gemini woman in love personality traits show that you, as part of her life, will have to know that you will be part of a grand pageant that will always have new and interesting faces walking through. If you can stand it, she can be a very lively and interesting partner, with a grand life ahead.

Gulf of Guinea piracy threat persists
Global piracy incidents declined by 50% in the first quarter of the year, thanks to sharp reductions in Asia, the Americas and Nigeria. But the Gulf of Guinea's reputation as a hot spot remains because it accounted for more than half of all incidents and as well as crew kidnappings.
THE GULF of Guinea is still the most dangerous region for seafarers even as global piracy incidents declined significantly during the first three months of 2019.
The International Maritime Bureau said the African region accounted for all 21 crew kidnappings that happened around the globe in the first quarter of the year as well as 22 out of the total 38 piracy incidents.
In the most recent reported case, pirates boarded the Contships-owned 1,118 teu Contship Oak and abducted four crew members off Cameroon on March 30.
On a more positive note, the region fared better than last year when it saw 30 incidents in the first quarter, as piracy in Nigerian waters declined, with 14 incidents recorded last quarter compared with 22 in the first quarter of 2018.
"The IMB PRC commends the Nigerian Navy for actively responding to reported incidents by dispatching patrol boats," the IMB said in its report.
Nonetheless, the IMB reiterated that Nigerian waters still present a risk for vessels, particularly in the port of Lagos, where four incidents have been reported.
The 38 global piracy incidents that occured in the first quarter present a marked decrease from the 66 during the same period last year. Out of these 38 cases, 27 were vessel boardings and seven saw ships being fired upon.
While the Gulf of Guinea remains a perilous region for seafarers, the first quarter did not include any reported vessel hijackings. This is the first time this has failed to happen in the first quarter of a year since 1994.
Much of the downturn is due to the decline in south east and east Asian waters, as well as off the Indian subcontinent, where incidents fell from 22 last year to eight in 2019.
Despite the overall global improvements, the IMB also warned that the first three months of the year is too short of a period "to anticipate trends over the year".
"The declining rate of piracy incidents worldwide in the first quarter of 2019 reinforces the importance of transparency, communication and co-ordination, between vessels and coastal authorities," the IMB said.
The first quarter was also devoid of any incidents in Somalia, whose waters were until a few years ago the most dangerous for seafarers.
Shipping organisations recently reduced the size of the designated high-risk area in the Indian Ocean owing to a decline in incidents.

Infectious organisms have to cope with demanding and rapidly changing environments during establishment in the host. This is particularly relevant for pathogens that utilize different hosts to complete their life cycle. In addition to homeotic environmental challenges, other stressful factors, such as oxidative bursts, are often triggered in response to infection. It is not surprising that many successful pathogens have developed robust chaperone systems to conquer the stressful environments in the host. In addition to discussing ingenious ways by which pathogens have utilized chaperones, the potential of exploiting pathogen chaperones as drug targets is also discussed.


"Today, in conjunction with the Dirtbag Diaries, The Outdoor Parent begins in earnest. Our goal: provide stoke. Stoke to get you out of bed before dawn for a long run through the woods or a solid surf session at a favorite break. Stoke to rally the kids out for a weekend of camping beneath dark, starry skies or just around the corner to edges of your local park. We celebrate skinned knees, hand me down jeans…"
So begins the first post of Dirtbag Diaries creator Fitz Cahall's new effort, The Outdoor Parent. Says Fitz of this new site: "With my work at The Dirtbag Diaries, it became clear to me that there are a lot of parents looking for advice in nurturing . . .
their children with open spaces. There are also parents who had figured out creative approaches to the daunting task of mobilizing a small army to get out and explore. The Outdoor Parent is my attempt to bring these two groups together."
parenthood doesn't mean the end to getting after it, the more skeptical or worrisome among us will find comfort in open and honest discussions about topics like the recent furor over the Swine Flu and "Risk: How Much is Too Much?"
Thoughtful articles and informative discussions are a balm to adults, but when it comes down it, it's a child's spirit that reminds us of all the wonderful buried things left untended over the years, things like how big the world can be, or the sense of wonder that comes with digging in the sand, or that personal differences mean precious little when it's time to play.
Patagonia friend and professional photographer Craig Wolfrom kindly provided this post's images, taken from a two-family trip (with Patagonia employee Nate Hanson). This is a small sampling of his work. One look at his complete trip slide show will have you scratching out space in your calendar for your own trip.

At this year's Adobe MAX, the Stock contributor team is excited to reveal two brand new features that will allow our community more ways to market and monetize their work.
What's new in Dimension 2.0.
It's hard to believe it's been a year since we launched Adobe Dimension CC on stage at MAX 2017. This year has been a wild ride — aggressively pushing out new features and capabilities, engaging with our user base and hearing your stories of exploring this new Dimension, and developing new partnerships for Adobe across the broader 3D ecosystem. This all comes together at Adobe MAX this year, where we'll launch the biggest update of Dimension yet — Dimension v2.0 — in front of the world's creators, storytellers, and our best friends.
At one year in, now is a good time to step back and share some of our learnings, our developments, and where we're headed.
Dimension is the first Adobe Creative Cloud product centrally focused on 3D workflows, and also the first Creative Cloud application built from the ground up on our machine learning and artificial intelligence features, Adobe Sensei. Previously, 3D models and content were only available to 3D professionals in specialized applications. With Dimension, 3D models can be seamlessly incorporated into graphic design workflows, so designers can choose for themselves details like camera angles, lighting, and materials. Dimension uses sophisticated machine-learning algorithms to help designers and artists place 3D objects "into" a background image easily by taking care of the heavy lifting of lighting and shadow calibration.
This is a beautiful image, composited from 2D and 3D elements blending together seamlessly. Like many Dimension users, Anna was not trained as a 3D designer. Her background is graphic design with some motion graphics experience working with After Effects. She has considered learning 3D modeling tools, but they always felt quite disconnected from her current toolset, and high friction from concept to creation. Dimension is different — it's a 3D application, but it's also an Adobe graphic design application, and this is the magic that we've seen manifest again and again. We're not replacing your current workflow, we're augmenting it. Anna, and others like she, continue to work in the graphic design tools that they know and love, like Photoshop and Illustrator, but now with a new photorealistic visualization superpower through Dimension.
With each release of Dimension, we think carefully not only of features needed for the new compositing workflows that Dimension enables, but also how to relate those features to the tools that our users already know and love. In Dimension 2.0 we're taking steps to deepen the interoperability between Dimension and both Photoshop and Illustrator. There's still a lot more to do, but now you can bring in .psd or .ai files to a material or background in Dimension, make further edits to these in Illustrator or Photoshop and see the changes reflected in your Dimension scene, as well as render out a layered .psd file that can be taken into Photoshop for post work.
Benny Lee, 3D design lead at Coca-Cola, will join me at MAX this year to discuss some of their packaging design workflows. For his design team, who spend most of their time producing concepts and final designs in Illustrator, having an easy way to work in Illustrator and see their designs manifested in a photorealistic way is a game changer.
From dieline to 3D. Image source: Coca-Cola.
A recently released independent research report by Pfeiffer Consulting pegged the estimated time savings for product visualization and product mockups at 10x and more using Dimension over traditional techniques like paper mockups or 2D templates. There are lots of ways to fake 3D, but it turns out actually using 3D can be a huge time-saver.
Image source: The Productivity of Design Visualization / Pfeiffer Consulting.
One of our key product pillars for Dimension is photo-realism, which is an important tool for designers as they need to get as close to the real thing as possible for visualizations and product shots. I won't go into a lot of detail of what happens under the hood with Dimension to make this possible, but there is one underpinning technology that is important to understand. Dimension uses physically based rendering (PBR) to produce photorealistic results. In traditional graphic design tools, the designer paints or draws with specific colors. In Dimension, 3D materials are used, and the final color of each pixel is based on a simulation of light flooding the scene, reacting with the physical properties of 3D material.
For example, these five spheres highlight the various physical properties of materials — translucency, metallicity, roughness (high and low), and glow.
From left to right: translucency, metallicity, roughness (high), roughness (low), and glow.
Using PBR absolves the designer from having to fake things like reflections and shadows, and allows for exploring new design concepts very quickly. For example, the difference between the third and fourth sphere above is simply adjusting the roughness slider. The reflections in the metal sphere are because it has metallicity dialed up. The designer can specify the physical properties of the materials, compose the objects in the scene, and let the renderer do the heavy lifting.
With Dimension 2.0, we've made significant improvements to our material system. We've also introduced a new renderer that provides faster in-app previews. And, as mentioned previously, we continue to focus on interoperability with other Adobe flagship applications, with support for edit-in to Photoshop and Illustrator (including artboard support). Other improvements include new 2D canvas controls, multi-layered decals, and render size print controls. And we've made it even easier to bring in your 3D models by adding support for more 3D file formats: Autodesk FBX, SketchUp SKP, STL, and OBJ. And for those who don't have their own 3D models, we've also added more than 5,000 new free 3D stock assets (materials, lights, and models), including the free assets shipped within Dimension.
We also are starting to tease that Dimension will ultimately be for more than compositing, and that we're a 3D application for designers creating across mediums. Dimension now supports a design review service, allowing designers to publish their scenes to CC Assets as an interactive 3D web view.
Publish your Dimension scenes to interactive 3D scenes, currently available as a beta feature in Dimension 2.0.
This interactive 3D export will be a big component of our interoperability with the newly announced Project Aero. One of the challenges that we've heard repeatedly from our customers is keeping brand consistency of product images across e-commerce, product websites, marketing campaigns, and emerging platforms like AR/VR. With Dimension, designers can set up, export, and publish assets consistently, whether they are static images or interactive views.
Every new medium brings new creative potential, allowing artists and designers to push their craft further. 3D has done that in film, manufacturing, architecture, and many other industries — but not in graphic design. We're aiming to change that with Dimension.
From myself and the extended Adobe Dimension Team, I just want to say how inspired we are seeing the amazing work that you are producing with 2D and 3D content in Dimension. We love seeing your renders, and we appreciate all the feedback, the kudos, and the suggestions. I'd encourage you to download the new release, check out our Getting Started tutorials, try it out for yourself, and let us know what you think. All the best for another great year ahead, and we look forward to seeing what you create!
Get inspired: See what others are creating with Dimension CC.

Here's a spell I came up with to help a friend who was having a lot of trouble with red tape at a bank.
This was the problem - my friend had paid their Barclaycard bill over the counter at a branch of Barclays bank, because the instructions on the back of the bill suggested the payment would be processed quickest that way even though my friend's cheque account was with a different bank. This turned out not to be the case, as my friend learnt when they got a phone call from someone at Barclaycard asking why they had not paid their bill.
It emerged that the cheque had been processed by Barclays, and the cash had gone out of my friend's bank account, but had not gone into Barclaycard's coffers. You would think that a simple bank error might be easy to sort out - but it wasn't. Despite several phone calls and visits to banks every day, the problem had not been resolved by the time my friend's next Barclaycard bill was due.
At every turn my friend faced obstructive official procedures, time-consuming bureaucracy and complete failure by anyone at any bank or customer service department to admit they had done anything wrong. It was beginning to sound like something out of a Kafka novel.
I offered to help, with this spell to cut through red tape. It is really quite simple. Get a length of red tape - or something to represent it, such as the reclaimed red wool pictured above (I'm always in favour of recycling if at all possible). Then take a pair of scissors.
Cut a length of red tape or wool to represent the problem. Then, cut that length into little pieces while visualising each element of the bureaucratic problem being resolved. When you have finished, take the cut-up bits of tape and put them in your compost bin, or bury them in your garden, where they will rot away and provide rich soil for plants.
A few hours after I did the spell to cut through red tape, my friend phoned me to say that it seemed the problem was finally being resolved. Of course, it could have been coincidence, but I like to think my spell helped.
I like what you've done here. It's always a great feeling being able or at least trying to help a friend in need. It was wonderful to see the re-purposing of the red wool.

HomeMusicUrbanDeon Cole says he's "bringing fun back" as host of BET's Soul Train Music Awards 2022
The BET Soul Train Awards 2022 are here! The ceremony, which celebrates the best in soul, R&B and hip-hop music, premieres Saturday, November 26, hosted by award-winning comedian and actor Deon Cole.
This is Cole's first time hosting the awards show, a moment he describes to ABC Audio as "surreal."
"I was a writer for that show for a couple of years," he shares. "I wrote for Wendy Williams and Erykah Badu when they hosted and to go from writer to hosting, it's a big deal in my career."
Despite having written for prior hosts, Cole says he didn't seek out any advice for the new gig.
"Nah, nobody hit me up. I ain't hit them up neither. The whole time I was writing for them, I was like, this is what I would do," he says with a laugh. "So I just did what I thought I would, you know, what I should do."
So, what can viewers expect from him as a host?
"Just spontaneity," Cole shares. "Just me being… quick, fast and letting the energy and the flow just go."
"Not being confined to the norm and what people really are used to at awards show. Kinda Just being off the grid and just having fun, bringing fun back," he explains. "That's exactly where my whole method was…to bring fun back to award shows and be a host that is fun — have people laughing and not so stuck to the script. So that's what we basically did. And man we had a ball."
And when it comes to performances, viewers will be just as entertained.

In early 2012, I wrote an encouraging post about our adventure to financial freedom. Honestly, I wrote that post as an encouragement for myself, but I am so humbled that it's been an encouragement to so many other people. Even still, when I'm feeling particularly discouraged about where we are at with our finances vs. where I we would be at this point, I'll occasionally look back at that post and find some encouragement to keep going.
It's been a little over a year since that post, and we're still not done with our journey (will we ever?). But, in spite of things still not being where I thought they'd be, we've made tremendous progress. I'm going to be using real numbers, because real numbers make sense. They show real, visual progress. These numbers are a part of our story. Don't compare your progress to ours. Compare your progress with your own story!
In February we paid off a small medical bill from one of our children. It was about $300. This was our first financial success in 2013, and it was, of course, exciting!
In March, we paid off a credit card balance of $2,532. This amount was from Ben's unexpected, no insurance, knee surgery from 2012.
In July, we settled the final credit card debt from Ben's knee. We settled for $3,002, all paid in cash, and saved approximately $4000 by working with the credit card company to come to a "deal". We closed this credit card after paying it off (or rather, they closed it on us since we settled our way out of it). No big deal...we are so OVER credit cards!
By November, we had paid in advance for the birth of our 4th baby. We paid approximately $5000 to the hospital, doctor, anesthesiologist, labs, and pediatrician. CASH. Let me tell you why this one, out of all of the above mentioned things, is such a big deal. We have NEVER, not once, paid cash up front for something big like that. The fact that we were able to make this happen was a HUGE step for us. I really see it as a turning point in how we view and handle our money. We avoided debt and came up with the money ahead of time.
In total, we paid off or paid in advance for almost $11,000 this year!
By the time we paid all these debts and paid (cash) for our 4th baby this year, we closed out the year with *maybe* $200 in our savings account. For the first time, though, I didn't feel defeated. I felt accomplished. I knew that the fact we had learned to "save" is what made paying for our baby possible. THAT'S what our savings is for!
2014 started with a focus on rebuilding our emergency fund back to at least $1000 (Dave Ramsey's baby step #1), and using any income tax return money to pay for fixing a couple of my teeth.
It's now March (2014) and baby step #1 is already more than taken care of, and my teeth are paid for, as well. We are now working our way toward saving for our every-other-year family Disney trip, building our savings even more, and paying off an interest free hospital bill from one of our children.
Then....just the student loan, and we'll be DEBT FREE!


"This rich Biblical story recasts Matthew, not Judas, as Jesus's betrayer. Matthew, a non-practicing Jew and a clever soldier-of-fortune with ample friendships but no strong ties, narrates, beginning when he is appointed tax-collector of Capernaum by Pontius Pilate. Though the district in fact falls under Herod's jurisdiction, Matthew will actually be secondarily employed by Pilate in the role of a spy.
Pilate instructs Matthew to monitor the activities of religious zealots in the region, and, once installed, Matthew mingles with the locals and quickly earns the trust of local brothers Simon and Andrew. Soon after, when a preacher named Jesus comes into town, Matthew has the first inkling that he may in fact have news of a would-be religious uprising to report back to Pilate. Matthew wins Jesus's trust, is named a disciple, and follows the movement beyond Capernaum, sending detailed reports back to his Roman employer.
WARNING: Christians may find some passages offensive.
I was brought up in a 'Christian' household and attended Sunday school as a child. So I heard all the stories about Jesus – the Star of Bethlehem, the virgin birth, walking on water, feeding the multitude, healing the sick, raising the dead – indeed, rising from the dead. When I grew up and became a doubter and then a non-believer, I simply dismissed these tales as fairy stories. But now, the author has written this highly entertaining book about how it might have happened if a zealot called Jesus of Nazareth had lived and died in Roman Palestine at the start of a new era. Those bible stories I heard never talked much about Romans, which meant Jesus was never placed into context as a Jew living in occupied territory.
Mr Helweg-Larsen has written this story from the point of view of Matthew Levi, one of the disciples who had been a Roman tax collector – and a spy for Pontius Pilate. It is an enthralling story, providing on the way historical background about the Roman occupation and way of life, the countryside, the lives of the various Jewish factions and the impact of history on the population. In particular, here, the suppression of a revolt 20 years before and the subsequent crucifixion of 2,000 men.
The story is completely plausible – although, of course, it is a work of fiction. The characters are 3 dimensional, each with virtues as well as flaws. Matthew the spy comes close to reversing his allegiance at one point and his friends the Romans have their good points – and their bad.
But the life and death of Jesus is only a part of this tale. Perhaps more important is the reaction of the people around him, especially the common folk who followed him. His believers swallowed his every word. Tales about him spread from mouth to mouth and grew in the telling because people wanted to believe, regardless of the truth. And that is no less true now as it was then.
This is a masterfully written book by a man who has studied the history and the places. Recommended.

(IN)VISIBLE IN NEW-WEST
Pink Nieuw-West is an LGBTQ+ organisation by and for members of the LGBTQ+ community in the Nieuw-West district of Amsterdam, and celebrates its 12th anniversary this year.
Amsterdam's largest district is very diverse; people from various cultural groups live there and there are large differences in socio-economic status. As Pink Nieuw-West, we try to provide a place where everyone is welcome and can meet other LGBTQ+ people. To this end, we organise various activities throughout the year.
In addition, we try to increase the visibility and acceptance of LGBTQ+ in New West, which is also a district where visibility of both your gender identity and your sexual orientation is not self-evident, especially not for people of colour.
For many people, hanging out the Rainbow Flag is not something they do lightly. People from the rainbow community in Nieuw-West often mention that once they have passed the ring road towards the city centre, they feel freer. Being yourself, being allowed to be how you feel and loving who you want and being able to be open about that, whether to your family, friends, neighbours or colleagues, is not a given.
The difficulty that LHBTIQ+ in Nieuw-West experience in being visible and daring to be visible in their own neighbourhood, we also want to make visible during the Canal Parade on the boat of Pink Nieuw-West.
But Amsterdam Nieuw-West is also changing. You see more rainbow flags hanging on houses and there are numerous initiatives for and from the rainbow community. Movie nights, bike rides, brunches, BBQs and drinks. Debates, Iftars, workshops and attention is paid to important days like IDAHOT, etc. The district council pays attention to the community and supports it where it can. We want to celebrate these developments and also make them visible on the boat during the Canal Parade.
The boat of Pink Nieuw-West sails with the title (ON)ZICHTBAAR IN NIEUW-WEST.
In the preparations for the Pride, Pink Nieuw-West cooperates as much as possible with the other LHBTIQ+ groups in Nieuw-West and in this way we want to make the rich diversity of the LHBTIQ+ community in Nieuw-West visible.
Pink Nieuw-West organises 3 activities during Pride 2022. We will organise our own opening of the Pride week at the Sloterplas to increase the presence and visibility of the LGBT+ in the district. Then we will join the Pride-Walk as a group from the rainbow community in Nieuw-West. And as a highlight we will sail through the canals of Amsterdam with the Canal Parade.

Q: AWS Codepipeline Invoke option are no available I'm trying to run an AWS Lambda on my AWS CodePipeline, the Lambda function is set up, tested and correct, however the "invoke" option does not appear in the options dropdown - showing just build, test, etc..Some guess why?

A: As per the AWS Regions and Endpoints document, AWS Lambda is not available in sa-east-1 region.
AWS Lambda is currently available only in the below regions:

This is the reason, you are unable to see the Invoke action, which only has one option: AWS Lambda.
You need to switch your pipeline to a region, which supports AWS Lambda.

With its initial release way back in 1961, Psychotherapy East and West by noted philosopher Alan Watts sought to examine the parallels between Western psychotherapy and Eastern philosophy. I must say it has aged well despite both areas of his interest transforming greatly in the 50+ years since the book first hit the presses.
He begins with a nod towards the contributions that Eastern philosophy has made to advance the domain of Western psychology. As one would expect, there is plenty of mention of the ego in here – either Freudian-flavoured, or as it is viewed in Eastern philosophy. The transformation of one's consciousness is advanced as what both areas have in common. Be it a guru, minister – or a therapist, it's all about liberation.The therapist is concerned with helping the individual resolve their personal feelings with the social norms that surround them. It's the wire-walk between being oneself and not offending those around them. For the guru or master, it's helping the adept see how samsara may come from trying to contort oneself to fit into society's rules and identifying greatly with the 'I' at the centre of it all.
Freud and Jung are the core individuals who Watt's explores in this book (makes sense). As far as Buddhism, the concepts of suffering, samsara, reincarnation, liberation, karma, bodhisattvas, the ego, sense perceptions and name dropping of several key figures occurs. Much is said about the process of both psychotherapy and interactions with one's guru. I personally found it quite interesting to see the links that Watts finds between the two.
The book jumps around a bit in my opinion. I found myself thinking I had understood the first few chapters – to then getting lost in the woods in several areas towards the middle and end of it. I approached Psychotherapy East and West with the view that I would take what I could from it and not sweat what seemed to be over my head or rambling. I still feel satisfied having read this book and figure that maybe someday I'll go back for a second read if Watt's koan calls out to me!
Overall, this was a very interesting read. I have an affinity for reading psych books – and well, give me a great Buddhist book any day and I'm in! With both of these subjects examined by such a revered scholar as Watts, Psychotherapy East and West deftly covers each with the respect they deserve. Neophytes may find the subject matter a bit heady (confession- there were several areas where I was in deep waters) – but readers are certain to find something that will speak to them within its pages.
If you are interested in a deeper exploration of Psychotherapy East and West by Alan Watts, I would encourage you to visit the blog Going for Refuge as it is currently exploring the book chapter by chapter.

A "foreign" claim or judgment means a claim or judgment made in a jurisdiction outside the province of British Columbia.
Client tells you that a creditor is trying to collect on a debt or judgment from another province or from the United States.
Client has been served with legal documents from another province or the United States that show that a creditor is suing or threatening to sue the client in that jurisdiction.
This section provides a brief introduction to the law on claims and judgments that originate outside BC. In general, you should consult a lawyer about such claims. This section does not cover enforcement of maintenance claims under family law statutes.
A "foreign" claim or judgment is one made in a jurisdiction outside the province of British Columbia. Thus, the province of Alberta is a foreign jurisdiction, as is the state of Washington. There are special rules in common law and in BC's statute law governing how foreign claims and judgments are handled in BC courts.
The law of foreign claims and judgments is complex. A claim or judgment may eventually be enforceable against the debtor in BC. Debts are not left behind if a debtor moves from Ontario to BC, for example.
If a debt was incurred in a foreign jurisdiction and the debtor is now in BC, the creditor usually has a choice of suing the debtor in the foreign jurisdiction or in BC. If the creditor sues on the debt in BC, the debtor can respond and consider appropriate BC court remedies in the usual way (see the section on the Court Process in Consumer and Debt Matters).
If the creditor sues on the debt in the foreign jurisdiction, the debtor faces the obvious disadvantage of trying to defend or resolve the matter in that jurisdiction. Creditors almost always first sue in the foreign jurisdiction (that is, foreign to the debtor) because it is usually more convenient for them. Just because the debtor does not live there does not mean that the courts there will not let the case go ahead. In general, as long as the creditor satisfies the court that the debt arose in that jurisdiction and that the debtor has been served with the necessary court paperwork for that jurisdiction, the court will give a judgment.
Whichever process is used, the debtor faces a further problem: the statute law and case law on enforcing foreign judgments severely restrict the defences the debtor can raise. In general, defences are limited to procedural fairness in how the judgment was taken in the foreign jurisdiction. The trend in Canadian case law has been to restrict the interpretation of instances when those procedural defences are available.
Obtain full information on the client's financial situation, as well as the details of the foreign claim. Be particularly careful about checking the time limits for the debtor to respond to court proceedings in the foreign jurisdiction or in BC.
If there is an issue of liability, whether the client is being sued in the foreign jurisdiction or has had a judgment made there and is now being sued in BC, you should get a lawyer to review the matter.
If the client admits the claim (or judgment), you may be able to help arrange a repayment scheme.
Alternatively, you may assist the debtor in seeking other financial remedies that include the foreign debt. For example, the debtor can usually include the foreign claim or judgment in an assignment in bankruptcy).

Jersey City shooting: Bernard Kerik's son among officers hospitalized
By Bradford Betz | Fox News
Jersey City gun battle leaves 6 dead, including police officer
One officer among six was killed in a New Jersey shootout; Bryan Llenas reports.
The son of former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik was one of the law enforcement officers who fatally shot armed suspects who opened fire on police and civilians in Jersey City, N.J., on Tuesday.
Joseph Kerik, a police officer from Newark, N.J., was among the officers who responded to the shooting in Jersey City's Greenville neighborhood.

Kerik and two Jersey City police officers rolled up to the scene in an armored truck and stormed a supermarket where the suspects were firing from, and fatally shot the suspects, the New York Post reported, citing a source and a law enforcement official.

Bernard Kerik told WPIX-TV's Dan Mannarino that his son was not shot but taken to the hospital for treatment before he was released.
"At Jersey City Medical Center with my son Joe… he's okay by Prayer for the Jersey City Police and their fallen officer," Kerik tweeted, referring to 40-year-old Jersey City Det. Joseph Seals, who was fatally shot during the shootout.
"What happened today demonstrates the dangers involved in policing on a day-to-day basis, and it also shows the dedication and perseverance of police officers all over the country," Kerik told the Post.
Seals was among six people, including the two suspects and three bystanders, who were killed on Tuesday.
Bernard Kerik served as New York City Police Commissioner from 2000 to 2001 under Mayor Rudy Giuliani. He was later sentenced to prison for felony tax fraud.

Q: Calculate the total derivative Calculate directly the total derivative (without using partial derivatives) of the function $f(x_1,x_2)=x_1^2-10x_2$. You may wish to use the fact that $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\geq\frac{x+y}{2}.$
$$$$
I have tried to show it using the following formula: $f(x+y)=f(x)+df_x(y)+r(y),$ where $\displaystyle\lim_{y\to0}\frac{\ r(y)}{||y||}=0.$ So we have $f(x+y)= (x_1+y_1)^2-10(x_2+y_2)=x_1^2+2x_1y_1+y_2^2-10x_2-10y_2=f(x)+2x_1y_1+f(y)$. Now considering the formula above; $2x_1y_1$ is the total derivative, but when I check with partial derivatives, I miss a "-10". Can somebody show me a solution step by step?
Thanks.

J Balvin Recruits Argentinian Star María Becerra On New Single 'Qué Más Pues?'
'Qué Más Pues?' is the latest single from J Balvin's forthcoming, yet-untitled album.

J Balvin has dropped another summer-ready reggaeton single "Qué Más Pues?," this time recruiting rising Argentine singer-songwriter Maria Becerra.
The 21-year-old singer started out as a Youtube star before signing with 300 Entertainment, (home to artists including Megan Thee Stallion and Fetty Wap) and dropped her label debut, the Animal, Pt. 1 EP, back in February.
"Qué Más Pues?" – which roughly translates to "What More Then," sees the duo take on the role of jilted lovers in the Jose-Emilio Sagaró-directed visual, as they confront each other at a not-so-romantic New York City shipyard.
"No es personal, pa' novio no has nacido," Becerra sings. "Me tuviste mucho tiempo, fuiste distraído Y ahora, ¿qué más pues? Me he ido." Roughly translated, that's "It's not personal, you weren't born to be a boyfriend/ You had me for a long time, you were distracted/ And now what? I'm gone."
"The reggaeton song boasts a swift beat of crunchy drums, the synth notes falling with a light, poignant touch," writes Rolling Stone.
"Qué Más Pues?" is the latest single from J Balvin's forthcoming, yet-untitled album, a follow-up to the Colombian singer's last full-length album, Colores in 2020. Previously released tracks include "Ma G", "Tu Veneno", "Otra Noche Sin Ti", and his birthday jam "7 De Mayo".
The reggaeton superstar is also the recent subject of the new Amazon documentary, The Boy From Medellin, which chronicles Balvin in his most vulnerable state as he navigates his life and stardom while dealing with anxiety and depression.
But there are also highs in the film, as he prepares for a homecoming show in Medellín. Shot in 2019 and directed by filmmaker Matthew Heineman, the nearly two-hour-long documentary – which premiered on Amazon Prime earlier this month – tries to square the personal life of Jose Álvaro Osorio Balvín and J Balvin the global superstar.

Fake plates of vehicle used in journo's slay found
November 22, 2019 - Friday 6:11 PM by PNA
FAKE PLATES. Police authorities recover the fake plates allegedly used on a vehicle that is believed to have been used in the murder of Dumaguete radioman Dindo Generoso. The fake plates were found on Wednesday (Nov. 20, 2019) inside the Strada pick-up truck, which the police had previously taken into custody after Generoso's murder. Photo courtesy of Roy Ortega
DUMAGUETE CITY – The police here have recovered the fake plate numbers used on the vehicle of the suspects in the murder of veteran broadcast journalist Mercedarius "Dindo" Generoso.
On Wednesday, by virtue of a search warrant issued by the court, the Strada pick-up truck was opened by a locksmith in the presence of city police personnel led by Senior Master Sgt. Julito Deloria, special investigator Jess Cañete, who heads the local Commission on Human Rights, and members of the media.
Found inside the vehicle were two plates marked as FAX 5801, the same as those that were used on a Strada pick-up truck that was captured in a CCTV footage on the day Generoso was murdered.
The video footage showed that the vehicle with the fake plates was parked on road, where the purported triggerman disembarked and transferred to a waiting motorcycle who then followed Generoso up to where he was shot in Barangay Piapi.
Also recovered was the vehicle's Official Receipt and Certificate of Registration, issued in the name of Tomasino Aledro, the alleged owner, personal belongings, a phone number purported to be that of a female, list of combinations for a numbers game, and a pair of conduction stickers marked B5 0500.
The Strada pick-up truck, which authorities had previously identified as registered under the name of Aledro, was found abandoned at a vacant lot in West Balabag in nearby Valencia town, days after Generoso was shot dead in broad daylight on November 7.
The abandoned vehicle, when discovered, was already sporting its original license plate, GAM 1959.
Negros Oriental Executive Judge Gerardo Paguio Jr. issued the search warrant, which resulted in the recovery of additional evidence of the prosecution.
Aledro is among the four suspects who have been charged with murder but his whereabouts remain unknown to date, the police said.
The three others -- Aledro's brother-in-law Teddy Salaw, the alleged driver of the pick-up truck; retired policeman Glenn Corsame, the alleged motorcycle driver; and Police Cpl. Roger Rubio, the alleged triggerman--are now in police custody. PNA

In Division 2, Poly B had a mixed start, losing to newly-relegated Glasgow Montrose A, but winning against Paisley B.
In Division 3a, Poly C also has a mixed start, winning against Phones C but losing to Cathcart C.
In Division 1, Poly Rooks drew with Paisley.
In Division 2, Poly Bishops defaulted to Phones and then lost to Giffnock. Unfortunately, the team is currently captain-less.
In the Knockout, Poly Rooks secured a less-than-convincing first-round win over Concord.


SEOUL (Reuters) - General Motors' (GM.N) South Korean unit plans to slash the number of its executives, an internal letter seen by Reuters showed - the latest step by the U.S. automaker as it attempts a politically contentious restructuring of the loss-making business.
GM, which has some 16,000 employees in South Korea, also asked staff to "actively consider" a previously announced voluntary redundancy plan which has a Friday deadline, a separate letter showed.
The automaker this month shocked South Korea when it said it would shut one of its factories in the country and decide the fate of three remaining plants in the coming weeks.
The letters underscore the difficulties GM faces as it tries to wrangle concessions on wages from an angry labor union and win financial support from a South Korean government that is set to conduct due diligence on what it has called GM Korea's "opaque" management.
Although talks with unions have come much earlier than expected with union leaders under pressure to make concessions to prevent more factory closures, a union official told Reuters that initial discussions on Wednesday had not made any progress.
According to one of the letters sent to staff, GM Korea plans to cut the number of executives ranked managing director or more senior by 35 percent and reduce the number of directors and team leaders by 20 percent.
A GM Korea spokesman confirmed the plan, noting that the unit had around 150 executives including 100 directors and hundreds of team leaders.
"Changing our leadership structure is another of many initiatives to move forward the viability of the company," he said.
The unit also plans to shrink the number of so-called "international service personnel" executives, who have been dispatched from GM headquarters and other affiliates overseas, by 45 percent.
In particular, generous packages for the 36 such ex-pats which include support for housing, cars and payment of school fees for their children have come under fire from GM Korea's labor union.
The changes will start immediately and with all set to be in place by the third quarter of this year, the letter said, adding that a freeze was being put on executive promotions.
In a separate letter, GM Korea stressed to employees that they only had until Friday to apply for the redundancy program and urged them to apply. It is offering South Korean workers three times their annual base salary, money for college tuition and more than $9,000 toward a new car as part of the redundancy proposal.
Nearly 200 subcontractors at GM's Gunsan plant have been also asked to leave the factory by the end of March, union officials said on Wednesday.
In talks with the union, GM is proposing a base wage freeze and no bonuses this year along with a suspension of some benefits such as the payment of university tuition for employees' children and gold medals for long-serving workers.
The talks on Wednesday ended after just a couple of hours, the union official said.
"Management is demanding unilateral sacrifice by the union, but the company should come up with a turnaround plan," he said, adding that demands by the union for executives' wages to be disclosed had been rejected.
GM workers held another protest on Wednesday, holding signs calling for the withdrawal of the plant closure, before marching toward the presidential office.
Overseas unions, including the United Auto Workers, also joined the protest.
"The automotive sector will go through a major change in the next decade ... We support your struggle because it is our struggle," Georg Leutert, a director at Industrial Global Union, told the workers.
"We are in solidarity with them," Darius D. Sivin, international representative at UAW, told Reuters, wearing a red hair band.

Years ago, the haunting of the Overlook Hotel nearly broke young Dan Torrance's sanity, as his paranormal gift known as "the shining" opened a door straight into hell. And even though Dan is all grown up, the ghosts of the Overlook—and his father's legacy of alcoholism and violence—kept him drifting aimlessly for most of his life. Now, Dan has finally found some order in the chaos by working in a local hospice, earning the nickname "Doctor Sleep" by secretly using his special abilities to comfort the dying and prepare them for the afterlife. But when he unexpectedly meets twelve-year-old Abra Stone—who possesses an even more powerful manifestation of the shining—the two find their lives in sudden jeopardy at the hands of the ageless and murderous nomadic tribe known as the True Knot, reigniting Dan's own demons and summoning him to battle for this young girl's soul and survival...

Tech Company Hyperloop Doesn't Pay Its Employees — At Least Not In Cash We've come to expect a steady stream of flashy new gadgets from the booming tech sector, but another area of innovation in Silicon Valley is how we work, mainly the structure of our offices and companies. Planet Money tells the story of a company that has no employees, doesn't pay any salaries, but has hundreds of extremely talented workers nonetheless.
Tech Company Hyperloop Doesn't Pay Its Employees — At Least Not In Cash
Tech Company Hyperloop Doesn't Pay Its Employees — At Least Not In Cash 3:48
< Tech Company Hyperloop Doesn't Pay Its Employees — At Least Not In Cash
October 15, 20154:27 PM ET
All right. Now we're going to get sucked into the world of a very different kind of transportation company - Hyperloop Transportation Technologies. Steve Henn of our PLANET MONEY podcast reports it's not only trying to build something bold. It's also attracting talent without paying them cash.
STEVE HENN, BYLINE: A few years ago, no one had ever heard the word Hyperloop except for maybe Elon Musk, the guy who runs Tesla. He began namedropping the Hyperloop at tech events in 2013.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: The Hyperloop?
ELON MUSK: The Hyperloop, yeah.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Is it like a "Jetsons" tunnel? What...
MUSK: It's something like that, yeah.
HENN: Eventually, Musk explained. It's like a train, a solar-powered high-speed train traveling through a vacuum tube. Musk thinks it could hit speeds well over 700 miles an hour. A trip between LA and San Francisco would take just a little bit more than half an hour.
Musk threw out this idea, but he didn't actually want to build it himself, so he opened it up to other companies. And one of those companies, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, is taking a really unconventional approach to hiring. They decided not to pay their employees, at least not with cash. Dirk Ahlborn is the founder and CEO.
DIRK AHLBORN: The core team is basically - are people that are working in exchange for stock options.
HENN: Now, stock options aren't unique, but usually employees at startups get a few options and some cash, and usually they have to quit their day jobs and work full-time - actually, more than full-time. But team members here just have to put in 10 hours a week. And Ahlborn says this has big advantages.
One, he doesn't have to spend any money to get his company off the ground. And two, he can attract all kinds of talented people, people with unique skills who are interested but just might not be ready to take the leap and bet their entire livelihood on the future of a Hyperloop. He can attract people like Robert Delgado.
ROBERT DELGADO: I am the hypermaster planner for the...
HENN: So wait a second. Your job title is hypermaster.
DELGADO: That's the title I was given by the team and Dirk Ahlborn. So yeah, I guess that's my title there.
HENN: Delgado has a day job with a normal title. He builds infrastructure projects all over California. But as a hypermaster, he's helping get approvals for a test track. One of the other people on his team once ran the Colorado Department of Transportation.
DELGADO: A lot of people volunteer a lot of time to do something, to be a part of something and put their name on to say that they were there at the beginning.
HENN: But they're also being promised a payday sometime in the future in the form of those stock options.
DELGADO: We're going to create something big, and the expectation is that there's going to be a big value - dollar value onto that.
HENN: Now, right now, those stock options are almost theoretical, right? There's no dollar value attached to them. There's no place to trade them for real money, and everyone is paid the same amount per hour. Most businesses don't work this way. People make different amounts. Still, this company has a lot of takers.
AHLBORN: We have over 420 team members right now in addition to several very large companies.
HENN: Ahlborn estimates these volunteers have already contributed work that would've cost tens of millions of dollars to pay for in cash. Lisa Gansky is an entrepreneur and author of the book "The Mesh."
LISA GANSKY: They're recruiting people and building a company in a very fresh and, for me, very exciting way.
HENN: Gansky says networks of creative people are sometimes better than conventional businesses at tackling enormous, big, hard problems. Think of Wikipedia but for a train. And if this works, Ahlborn's promising his volunteers a big payday. Steve Henn, NPR News.


The risk of flooding has increased in most coastal regions of the US since 1900 and that risk is projected to grow. In coastal areas, storm surge happens when strong winds over the ocean drive water onshore and possibly several miles inland. Heavy rains can happen throughout the year, causing flooded streams, ponds, backed-up storm drains, and saturated ground. A flash flood is a rapid flooding of low-lying areas in less than 6 hours, which can tear out trees, destroy buildings, roadways and bridges.
12 inches of rushing water can sweep away small cars and 24 inches can carry away most cars.
50% of flood related deaths are from people walking or driving into floodwaters.
A 2" flood in a home can cause $10,000-20,000 in damage.
Do not drive through a flooded area. Turn around and find another route. Over half of all flood-related drownings occur when a vehicle is driven into hazardous flood water.
Do not walk into or near flood waters. People underestimate the power of moving water. Fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.
Consider installing a sump pump with a battery-operated backup, in case of a power failure. Installing a water alarm will also let you know if water is accumulating in your basement.
Raise your electrical components (switches, sockets, circuit breakers, and wiring) at least 12 inches above your home's projected flood elevation.
Determine if your home, school or workplace is in an area likely to flood.
Learn which roadways around your home, school or workplace are likely to flood and find an alternative route to avoid those areas.
Create a personal flood file containing copies of vital documents, including insurance policies (with agent's contact information) and information about all possessions. Keep it in a secure place, such as a safe deposit box or waterproof container.


To understand the market of portable field recorders, I did desktop research. This included trends in form, interface, and device specifications. During this stage I also explored blogs and gained a broad knowledge of sound designers preferred brands, specifications, and their formal and informal vocabulary.

A quarrel over parking takes communal colour in old Delhi, major clash averted
By A Correspondent / New Delhi
Tempers ran high on Monday as mischief mongers on both sides tried to incite mobs. Police kept tight vigil the as tensions loomed and apprehensions lurked in the locality till late evening
A minor argument between two men over the parking of a motorcycle took a communal colour at Lal Kuan bazaar under Hauz Qazi police station in old Delhi late on Sunday night.
Police intervened quickly and managed to not let the situation blow up into a full-fledged communal conflagration or to spread to other areas in the walled city that has mostly mixed population, tension gripped the area on Monday as groups from both the communities gathered at different places and raised religious slogans.
One community accused the other of ransacking a small mandir while the latter claimed that the clash erupted after some people from the other community thrashed a boy and fractured his hand.
Police had been trying to contain the situation since the last night itself and tried its best to ensure that no further clash takes place.
The police put up barricades to keep rival mobs away from each other.The police put up barricades to keep rival mobs away from each other.
The police had involved the elders from both communities late on Sunday night itself and restored the idols that were damaged during the ensuing stone and bottle pelting between the two groups.
Shopkeepers quickly downed the shutters as the word spread and made way back to the safety of their homes. The entire hardware goods market from the Hauz Qazi to Fatehpuri soon wore a deserted look.
People living in the locality rushed to the kirana stores and vegetable vendors to stock groceries. In no time, there was no groceries to be found at the shops, most of which were operating with half-open shutters as the hassled owners kept an eye on the far end of the road for any signs of trouble.
शाही इमाम मुफ़्ती मुकर्रम साहब ने हिन्दू और मुस्लिम भाइयों से आपसी भाई चारा बनाए रखने की अपील की है। साथ ही उन्होंने मुसलमानों से कहा है के वो मंदिर को जो नुक़सान पहुंचा है उसकी मरम्मत कराएं। #olddelhi pic.twitter.com/GPPqdncG1B
— Purani Dilli Walo ki Baatein (@PDWKB) July 1, 2019
The police kept tight vigil and put up barricades at different places, which separated the mobs of the two communities by a few hundred metres. Senior police officials also tried to mediate and defuse the situation.
The imams (prayer leaders) of the mosques at Lal Kuan and the community elders appealed to the youth on masjid loudspeakers to disperse and maintain peace. Local MLA and Delhi government minister Imran Hussain too tried to persuade the people in the area to maintain peace. He was, however, stopped from going across to the other side of the divide by a few senior police officials who sensed trouble.
According to reports trouble started on Sunday night around 10.30 pm when a teenager Aas Mohammed parked his bike outside Gali Chabuk Sawar. To this, Sanjiv who sells chow mein there, objected and told the boy to remove his bike. An argument ensued between the two and they came to blows. A few men sitting across the road joined in and badly thrashed Aas Mohammed, whose hand was fractured. The assaulters are said to be drunk at that time.
The incident soon took a communal colour when a rumour spread on WhatsApp that the boy was being forced to chant 'jai shri Ram' by the assaulters. Soon the crowds gathered and a clash erupted.
The stonepelters also allegedly targeted Sanjiv's house that is located right at the corner of Gali Chabuk Sawar. His wife Babita, who claimed to have been slightly injured in the attack, said all they wanted was their safety.
Former Delhi minister Haroon Yusuf, who represented the Ballimaran Assembly segment for four consecutive terms since 1993, condemned the incident and said that what has happened was against the true culture of the area as both the communities have peacefully lived together for very long time.
Yusuf also blamed the local MLA Imran Hussain for the turn of events, saying that it was a result of anti-social elements being encouraged and patronised by the local leaders for their political gains.

Neahkahnie Sunset
By Jen Norton
This semi-abstract landscape was inspired by a stormy day at Manzanita Beach in Oregon. To the North was Neahkahnie Mountain, and just over the other side was sunny weather! This piece is about hope. Even on the darkest days, the sun is shining and we will see it just as soon as the clouds part.

About Jen Norton
Jen Norton is a native Californian who spent her teen years in Arizona. Jen returned to the Bay Area for college, graduating in 1987 from Santa Clara University where she earned a Bachelors degree in Fine Art, with a Minor in Business.
Painfully shy as a child, Jen was unable to communicate with anyone outside her family except through drawing. Visual language was her first language and she never lost her passion for its ability to communicate for her. There was never a day she "decided" to become an artist. For Jen, there was just no other way to be.
After graduating from college, Jen worked as a Graphic Designer for CKS Partners in Cupertino. Developing marketing communications materials helped push her from purely personal expression to full conversation. After a ten years as a graphic designer, Jen left to pursue painting and raise her daughter. Meaningful relationships and everyday moments of family and home are her subject matter, revealing the Jesuit principles of finding God in the everyday and mundane that were instilled in her education.
Jen works in acrylic, using expressive color, texture and pattern to reveal the sublime in the ordinary. She begins each painting with underlying layers of intense hues and expressive brushwork, which gradually become hidden from view as the painting progresses. These underlying layers are important to the depth of the final work, just as years of spiritual growth are to a well-rounded soul. Jen seeks to develop order and beauty from chaos. Jen believes that through art, one can hear the whisper of a mighty Creator. Her intention is that her art may cause you to pause and listen.

CFPB Issues Consent Order Against National Servicer for Unfair Mortgage Practices
Patrice Hendriksen
CFPA, CFPB, Mortgage
On July 30, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced that it entered into a consent order with a national mortgage servicing company, resolving claims that the servicer engaged in unfair and deceptive practices in violation of the Consumer Financial Protection Act. The CFPB alleged that the servicer failed to honor modifications that consumers had entered into with their previous servicers; provided incorrect information to borrowers about such modifications; sent incorrect escrow statements to consumers; and illegally required consumers to waive certain future legal rights as a condition of receiving a payment plan.
Under the consent order, the servicer will pay $1.5 million in restitution, and a $100,000 civil penalty. The servicer is also required to undertake certain efforts to help affected borrowers avoid foreclosure; honor loss mitigation agreements entered by prior servicers; create a data integrity program to ensure that it has accurate information about consumers' loans; and make its loss mitigation application readily available on its website, among other things.

Although the British Virgin Islands have lifted COVID-19 stay at home orders, and resumed some transportation options and business operations this week, the U.S. Department of State has issued a status report with recommendations for those considering travel.
Bridgetown has been assessed as being a HIGH-threat location, and Grenada as a LOW-threat location, for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests.
The remaining countries to which the U.S. Embassy is accredited do not have official ratings for crime; consider them similar to Barbados in terms of criminality.
Regional police forces usually cooperate with U.S. counterparts. However, response time to law enforcement and security requests can at times be quite slow due to inadequate funding, lack of equipment and training, and staffing shortages.
"Criminals do not specifically target U.S. travelers visiting the Eastern Caribbean," the annual crime report issued this summer indicated. "Tourism is a major contributor to regional economies. U.S. nationals residing in the Eastern Caribbean do not always enjoy the same level of police protection that regional governments provide to tourist areas."
Crime Threats
Resorts, hotels and other businesses that cater to tourists provide additional security measures.
Some examples are walled-in compounds with access controls, private security staff, background checks on employees, and hired drivers for safe transport of guests.
Uniformed police presence is higher in residential and business areas frequented by tourists.
Police stations and outposts are usually strategically located in those areas. Visitors should use caution in dealing with beach merchants.
"Undertake travel outside of tourist areas with caution, especially at night, due to the prevalence of unmarked and unlighted roads. Be vigilant when using public telephones or ATMs, especially those located near roadsides or in secluded areas.
As with any travel, is wise to avoid wearing expensive jewelry, carrying expensive objects, or carrying large amounts of cash. Safeguard valuables while at the beach.
Although hotels and resorts are generally safe, loss of unattended items is possible.
Hotel burglaries may occur in less reputable hotels; lock all valuables in room safes when possible. Keep doors and windows locked, especially at night.
Residential burglars generally exploit an existing vulnerability (e.g. unlocked doors/windows, substandard door/window grilles, and poor/non-existent outdoor lighting).
"Avoid Crab Hill in northwest Barbados, and the vicinity of Nelson and Wellington Streets in Bridgetown, especially at night as well as non-reputable privately chartered nighttime party cruises."
This information was produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Bridgetown, Barbados.
The Embassy's responsibility extends to seven independent nations: Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent & the Grenadines.
The American Citizen Services (ACS) section in Bridgetown also covers consular services for U.S. citizens in three British overseas territories (Anguilla, Montserrat, and the British Virgin Islands) and four French islands (Martinique, Saint Barthélemy (Saint Bart's), Saint Martin (the French half), and Guadeloupe.
