The Coming Persecution – Mystic Gisella with new Message from the Madonna – "Churches will be persecuted and destroyed."
July 31, 2021 August 31, 2021 stephen ryan 1094 Views
Gisella – Churches Will be Destroyed
Our Lady to Gisella Cardia on August 28th, 2021:
My children loved by heaven, thank you for having responded to my call in your hearts. My children, I feel your fear and your suffering, but was everything not already foretold in Sacred Scripture? My children, Jesus has been preparing you for a long time, yet you who have not been steadfast in faith are now afraid. Always remember that I have called you one by one and am preparing my people so that many of my children would form families with mothers, fathers and brothers. Persecution will be great, especially when the churches are destroyed by terrible people, [1] but be united, as I will protect you. Sin is great now — so great that only prayer and trust can save you. Now I leave you with my maternal blessing, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.
Why Gisella Cardia?
Apparitions in Trevignano Romano, Italy
The alleged Marian apparitions in Trevignano Romano in Italy to Gisella Cardia are relatively new. They began in 2016 following her visit to Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and purchase of a statuette of Our Lady, which subsequently began to weep blood. The apparitions have already been the subject of an Italian national TV broadcast during which the seer behaved with remarkable calm in the face of some heated criticism from panelists in the studio toward her and two books. A Nihil obstat was recently granted by an Archbishop for the Polish translation of the second of these, In Cammino con Maria ("On the way with Mary") published by Edizioni Segno, containing the story of the apparitions and the associated messages up until 2018. While such a foreign Nihil obstat does not, on its own, constitute in situ diocesan approval of the apparitions, it is certainly not insignificant. And the local Bishop of Civita Castellana appears to have been quietly supportive of Gisella Cardia, having given access early on to a chapel for the overwhelming influx visitors who began to gather in the Cardia's house to pray, once news of the apparitions began to spread.
There are several major reasons for focusing on Trevignano Romano as a potentially important and solid prophetic source. Firstly, the content of Gisella's messages converges very closely with the "prophetic consensus" represented by other contemporary sources, without any indication of her awareness of their existence (Luz de Maria de Bonilla, Pedro Regis, Fr. Michel Rodrigue, Fr. Adam Skwarczynski, the diaries of Bruno Cornacchiola. . .).
Secondly, several of the overtly prophetic messages would appear to have been fulfilled: we notably find a request in September 2019 to pray for China as the source of new airborne diseases. . .
Thirdly, the messages have frequently been accompanied by visible phenomena, photographic evidence found in In Cammino con Maria, which cannot be the fruit of subjective imagination, notably the presence of the stigmata on Giselle's body and and the appearance of crosses or religious texts in blood on Gisella's arms. See the pictures taken from her apparition website https://www.lareginadelrosario.com/, which say Siate testimoni ("be witnesses"), Abbiate fede ("have faith"), Maria santissima ("Mary most holy"), Popolo mio ("My people), and Amore ("Love").

Attracting Melissa Etheridge Part 4

I never intended to write a four part series about my private songwriting lesson with legendary singer-songwriter-guitarist Melissa Etheridge, but here we are.
I got so much out of my two hours with the rock icon last month that I'm still reflecting on it all.
In fact, friends claim that I mention Melissa in some way or other every fifteen minutes.
They've timed me. 🙂
One more session with her and I'll be writing an entire book about all I've learned.
Melissa Etheridge showing me some of her guitars in her home
Anyway, in this episode I want to share what she taught me about singing, performing and becoming an overnight success.
Before we go there, I have to share a funny moment I had with her.
After Melissa showed me her book collection, guitar collection, and jigsaw puzzle she was working on, she walked me to a piano that her manager had given to her.
She played a few notes and asked me if I played.
"No," I said. "I wanted a guitar when I was a kid. My father heard me and bought me an accordion. He didn't want to hear rock, he wanted to hear polkas."
"Parents!" Melissa said.
Awesome album!
And from there we went into her home studio.
In my previous blog posts I shared what she taught me about writing songs. Her insights were revealing and inspiring. (See PS at end of this post for links.)
I told Melissa that one of the biggest fascinations for me was her singing.
I still remember her solo acoustic gig on Unplugged TV back in 1995.*
Melissa Unplugged 1995
It shook me to the core.
Her explosive performance sent out ripples through time, and are still hitting my nerve endings today.
I want to sing like that, I thought. And I told Melissa so.
Of course, she asked me to sing for her.
And I (gulp) did.
It was actually easy to perform for her because she was entirely nonjudgmental.
She was patient, present, and eager.
But I was a nervous schoolboy compared to the powerhouse singing that Melissa does naturally.
So I asked her for any tips she could give me.
She told me about watching Ed Sullivan's TV show and seeing house rockers, like Janice Joplin and Tom Jones.
"It was their joy in taking a song and belting it out," Melissa explained. "Barbara Streisand, Johnny Mathis, Neil Diamond. I watched them perform. I always went with my feeling. I wanted to stand up and you know, SING."
I went to Norm's Rare Guitars in LA, suggested by Melissa, and got this cool late 70's Gretsch Chet Atkins Super Axe with built-in phazer effects.
She went on to talk about where the power of a stirring performer comes from.
"Robert Plant's singing like Janice Joplin," Melissa said. "Janice Joplin's singing like Memphis Minnie and Betsy Smith, and she's singing like a black woman. All this rock and roll, and this popular music, comes from the slave era. It comes from this pain of I'm going to overcome this."
"It comes from this pain of I'm going to overcome this."
At this point Melissa pointed out that she heard a limiting belief in me.
She said that I thought I was too old to perform music and rock the world.
She reminded me that many people start entire new careers in their seventies. (I turn 63 today.)
I told Melissa this is one of my favorite shows. She said she was afraid to do it alone but "felt the fear and did it anyway"
"There's an infinite stream of energy that can become whatever we want," she told me. "And it's up to us and the story we tell inside.
"So you've gotta believe it first," she stressed. "You've gotta believe it first."
I started to understand that much of Melissa's on stage power comes from a decision.
She consciously intends to be electrifying.
"You're gonna draw up this power, and you're going to project it," she said. "And be willing to let that energy come through you. I have an agreement, and I made it a long time ago, with the Universe, that I would be a conduit."
Melissa explained that we are all energy and we project a vibrational field.
"It's possible to gather this energy and let it go through us," she continued. "But to do that, we've gotta have a clean channel. If you ever hear of anybody touring that lost their voice, it's because they're eating late at night, they're doing all this stuff that's going to come up and burn their voice."
She went on to focus on the songs.
I'm dedicating my forthcoming sixth singer-songwriter album to my inspiration, Melissa Etheridge
"What material are you working with?" she asked. "Are you singing, tonight I feel so weak. Then act what you are getting across. Be present for what you're singing. If you're singing a slow song, everybody's got a hunger, then think about it, live it, have it be alive in you when you're singing it."
Melissa then focused on my new song, the one we were working on together, and a line from it.
"If you are singing, I've got a message from the Great Something, and I found it through my struggles and strifes, then put that intention in you as you're singing. Think, I want to tell this story, and I want you to be moved by it because I want you to know the joy I'm having."
Melissa explained that she first started singing when she was ten years old. She was in choirs in churches. The teacher would put her in the back because "I had such a weird voice."
Weird voice? Melissa??
"In sixth grade I wrote a song, a protest song," she continued. "And I sang that in a talent show that became a variety show around my hometown. We played at old folks' homes, schools and prisons. And so I slowly started singing for people.
In Melissa's guitar room in her home. She has more guitars than me.
"I got in a band when I was in junior high, like eighth grade," she continued. "A professional band that had grown guys and me. And we would have gigs on the weekends, at the officer's club and these places. And so I sang other people's songs. And that really helped me."
At this point Melissa is explaining her decades of singing experience, and singing snippets to me as she continues.
You have to imagine my delight in being in her studio and witnessing this.
"First I sang Tammy Wynette, Sometimes it's hard to be a woman, and then Stand by your man. I learned to sing from your gut; to when you start with the energy, when you get up, I'm singing from here, and then I would sing the guy's songs.
"I would sing Roberta Flack. I remember the first time, ever I saw your face is the song, but it was the first time that I sang a song in my band, where usually people are dancing and talking and they're not paying any attention to the band, we're just there for their pleasure, that actually people would stop, look at me and then applaud.
"And then I realized that oh, a song grows. I'm telling a story. And I would captivate, I would see people paying attention and want to take that energy and keep it. So I had years and years and years and years and more years of singing in front of people.
The legend: Melissa Etheridge. And, oh yea, me. I'm still smiling.
That's often what it takes to succeed:
Years, and years, and years, and years and more years.
"When I finally got out to California, I played for five years in the bars, with drunk people," she continued. "When I finally got my record deal at the end of the 80's, I would have 100 people in the bar that came to hear me and liked my original songs."
Melissa summed up her story by saying, "You just get on the path, you just do it, and that's your intention, and then you let The Great Something bring you the stuff."
Reread that.
"You just get on the path, you just do it, and that's your intention, and then you let The Great Something bring you the stuff." – Melissa Etheridge
I was in awe of all the lifetime experience it took Melissa to get noticed, get a deal, and explode on the scene.
As with virtually every "overnight success" (including my own, as an author), it actually didn't happen overnight.
Once again, I could continue with all I learned from this loving legend of rock.
But right now I have a new album to record.
I'm dedicating my new album to Melissa.
There may even be a song on it called "Melissa Said," which will be a tribute to her. I'm currently drafting it using, of course, everything I've learned from her. I am forever grateful to her, and want her to know it.
I'm obviously still on fire from sitting with Melissa, so somebody bring me some water!

The Pentel Graphgear 1000 (via Amazon) is a pretty popular mechanical pencil thats definitely got that engineering or drafting look and feel to it, rather than looking like it was designed for every day writing. Don't take that the wrong way though because you can definitely use this mechanical pencil for any of those purposes.
For starters, the grip section on the Pentel Graphgear 1000 has both a metallic knurled grip as well as an evenly disbursed set of oval rubber grips that protrude through the metal grip. The rubber parts of the grip section are sort of an orange brown color which indicates the size f a .3mm lead. In addition to the .3mm version, you can also get a .5mm, .7mm, and .9mm version, each of which are given different color grip sections to easily identify them.
Overall the body of the Pental Graphgear 1000 is very dramatic looking in my opinion. The knurled grip with its oval protrusions, the sleek silver body, and the very long and angular clip give it somewhat of an exotic car feel as compared to many other mechanical pencils. Even the number 3 printed towards the top of the body of the pen to indicate the lead size has a NASCAR look and feel to it from my perspective. If there is a such thing, this looks like a very fast mechanical pencil.
The clip on the Pentel Graphgear 1000 sweeps down at a rather drastic angle as you can see above, and when you actually use it you can feel that its got quite a bit of tension behind it under the spring. It can clip onto something pretty thick and can also hold on to quite a few sheets of paper. You probably won't want to use the clip for either of those resaons though because it was actually designed to serve a much more practical purpose. You can see the clip in this picture actually rests on a small window cut out of the body of the pen, which allows for you to retract the lead collar back inside the pencil body and make it much less likely to break when transporting. Be careful though, if the lead collar is not extended yet and you wrap your fingers all the way around the pen near the clip as you hit the plunger, its possible to get your fingers pinched between the clip and the body. This stings a bit as I should know since I've done it multiple times since I've owned this pencil.
When you press the plunger down it extends the lead collar out through the tip of the pencil in preparation for writing with it. Once the tip is extended, the clip locks down keeping it pushed outside of the body of the pencil. If you want to retract the lead collar to prevent it from snapping or bending while writing then just simply press down the top of the clip to open it, and the lead collar simply retreats back into the pencil body.
One really useful and cool feature of the Pentel Graphgear 1000 is the small lead indicator above the grip section. You can turn this small window as a way to remind yourself what lead you have loaded up n your pencil. This is really helpful for someone like me that cant remember what he ate for dinner tonight, but in two weeks will want to remember what kind of lead he put in the pencil.
The close up here shows the tip and grip section removed to expose the lead type indicator. In order to twist the window in the grip to its appropriate selection, all you need to do is gently loosen the tip slightly then twist the grip until the window is open in front of the type of lead you are using. Its a pretty simple solution to a larger issue. The lead indicator has a spot for H, HB, B, 2B and 2H leads.
The eraser on the Pentel Graphgear 1000 isn't that big, but it can be adjusted upwards as you use i as there is more that you don't see of it in this picture because it extends deeper inside of the pencil. Its also worth noting that the cap that covers the eraser is pretty long so don't be surprised when you remove it that it seems to be taking longer than expected to remove. The plunger is also kind of interesting as it seems like even with a full depression of the plunger, the amount of lead that advances is pretty minimal. It might take 3 presses down of the lead before getting enough lead extended to start writing or drawing with.
The overall writing experience with the Pentel Graphgear 1000 has been great. Although the pencil is mostly made of metal components, its very light weight and evenly balanced. The grip section is very comfortable and makes for easy control of the pencil, even when using it for drafting or more precise writing tasks. When writing the lead advances smoothly and there is no excessive play or rattle between the lead and the sleeve. Grab one for yourself on Amazon and don't forget that there are other sizes available outside of this .3mm version that we took a look at here today.
I have been wanting one of those. Thank you for the review!
I bought my first one with a .5mm lead size several years ago. Very rare to find any kind of pen or pencil I am so happy with I don't even think about changing it. Nice weight. Spend a little more on nice leads and you won't have any problems. This will be the perfect mechanical pencil.
@snowflakeschance – This one is yours if you like? Get in touch with the About / Contact link below and I would be happy to send it off to you.
@afterbeckett- I can definitely see this being one of those every day items that you can just get so satisfied with that you would never think of switching. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your insight!
I was watching the last season of The Bridge, and in one of the episodes, Franka Potente's character kills someone with her Pentel Graphgear mechanical pencil. Where would we be without big screen tvs?
Also, I did notice a quality issue on the one I just bought for my husband. The plastic tape that lists the pencil hardness had folded back on itself and the adhesive had gunked up the barrel. It was easy to remove, but it would have been nicer if they would have engraved the plastic instead of using a sticker.
It would be helpful to know how to change the lead. Came with no instructions at all. Not able to change the lead and will return.

Stephen Roy Albert Neale (9 januari 1958) is professor in de filosofie aan de Rutgers Universiteit in New Jersey. Hij is een specialist in de taalfilosofie, die uitgebreid heeft geschreven over betekenis en interpretatie. Hij schrijft ook over de geschiedenis van analytische filosofie en is een van de leidinggevende autoriteiten ter wereld op het gebied van de descriptietheorie (theory of descriptions) van Bertrand Russell, van de filosofieën van Paul Grice en Donald Davidson en van de complexiteit van de formele argumenten in logica die bekendstaat als katapultargumenten (slingshot arguments). Zijn bekendste werken zijn de boeken Descripitons (1990) en Facing Facts (2001), en de artikelen "Meaning, Grammar, and Indeterminacy" (1987) en "Term Limits" (1993).

Academische carrière
Neale heeft per 11 mei 2007 de Kornblith leerstoel aanvaard aan het Graduate Center, CUNY. In 1999 is Neale bij de Rutgers faculteit gaan werken als professor in de filosofie. Daarvoor was hij van 1990 tot 1999 professor in de filosofie aan de Universiteit van Californië, Berkeley, van 1996 tot 1997 professor in de filosofie aan het Berkbeck College van de Universiteit van Londen en vanaf 1988 tot 1990 assistent professor in de filosofie aan de Princeton Universiteit. Hij promoveerde in de filosofie in 1988  aan de Stanford Universiteit, waar hij onder toezicht van John Perry werkte. In 2002 won hij een Guggenheim-beurs, in 1998 een 'National Endowment for the Humanities'-beurs, en in 1995 een zogenaamde Scholar-in-Residence-beurs van de Rockefeller Stichting en een gastprofessoraat aan talloze instituten zoals de universiteiten van Stanford, Oxford, London, Oslo, Stockholm en IJsland.

Werk
Neale schrijft voornamelijk over de filosofie van taal, breed geïnterpreteerd, waardoor een betekeniskruising plaatsvindt met de generatieve taalkunde, de filosofie van de geest, cognitieve wetenschap, filosofische logica, metafysica, theorie van juridische interpretatie en literaire theorie. Filosofische problemen over interpretatie, context, structuur en representatie vormen de samenhang in het werk van Neale. Hij verdedigt met hand en tand de descriptietheorie van Russell, beschrijvende theorieën van anafora, de op intentie gebaseerde theorie van betekenis van Paul Grice en een algemene benadering van betekenis en interpretatie die hij linguistic pragmatism noemt.

Zijn invloedrijkste werk tot nu toe gaat over onderdeterminatie en onbepaaldheid (indeterminacy) in verband met het gebruik van zogenaamde niet complete beschrijvingen (een thema dat terugkomt in veel van zijn werk – van zijn boek uit 1990 Descriptions tot zijn scripties uit 2005 "This, That, and the Other" en "A Century Later"), en over een katapultargument dat oorspronkelijk werd gebruikt door Kurt Gödel (onderzocht in zijn boek uit 2001 Facing Facts). Neale is een intentionalist en pragmatist op het gebied van de interpretatie van spraak en schrijven, en wat dit betreft is zijn werk diep geworteld in de griceaanse traditie. Terwijl hij waarschijnlijk quineaans is in zijn houding ten opzichte van onbepaaldheid op het gebied van betekenis, is Neale chomskyaans in zijn empirische houding ten opzichte van syntaxis en mentale representatie. Aspecten van syntactische theorie en formele logica zijn overduidelijk aanwezig in delen van zijn werk. In het werk van Neale is eerder een realistisch dan een pragmatisch standpunt te herkennen, hoewel hij openlijk agnostisch is op het gebied van de verklarende waarden van het zich beroepen op individuele feiten in filosofische gesprekken over waarheid.

William S. Burroughs at his 69th birthday in 1983.
William Seward Burroughs (February 5, 1914 – August 2, 1997) was an American writer. He was a contemporary and friend of writers Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac.
Burroughs was a member of the family who owned the Burroughs Cash Register Company. A family trust paid him an income, so he did not have to work a regular job. Sometimes he lived in Mexico and other countries, because he could live there in more luxury than in the United States. One favorite apartment he had in New York City was a windowless basement, nicknamed "Bill's Bunker" by his friends. Many of them were emerging writers and artists.
Burroughs told interesting, colorful stories, but did not think he could be a writer. This changed as he came to terms with tragedy; he had killed his common law wife Joan, in an accident when they were both drunk. Burroughs began to write to work through his grief and feelings of guilt. He also abused drugs, including heroin, and it affected his writing. His first novel, Naked Lunch, was a surreal work.
Besides writing, Burroughs also recorded spoken word and musical works. One of his works paired him with musician Kurt Cobain.
Burroughs died of a heart attack.

How to Reduce Risk with Contract Management in 2017?
"How to Reduce Risk with Contract Management in 2017?"
In this fast-moving and highly competitive global marketplace, proper commercial contractual risk management is necessary for success. Ongoing successful company revenues, profits, and reputations can be wiped out quickly by ignoring or not discovering contractual risk threats.
Conversely, if an entity is protected from contractual risks and threats, it can effectively concentrate and focus on its business without distraction.
This Conract Management whitepaper describes where the weak points in the contract lifecycle appear, and where risk is most likely to be introduced into the process to establish bulletproof contract management procedures.
Today, efficiency is a necessity for implementing and main¬taining a foolproof Enterprise Contract Management (ECM) system–and doing so can re¬sult in substantial revenues and cost savings, while minimiz¬ing business risk. Businesses are looking to leverage smarter technologies in their contract management system to make it possible for teams to handle ever-expanding demands. With execu-tive teams typically hesitant to commit additional resources to contract management functions, CIOs need a cost-effective system that can allow lean teams to design the patterns of contract behaviors for repeated use without getting hands-on and knee -deep in every contract.

Complete With an Airstream, Reese…
Updated 1902 Hamptons House on Picturesque Lane Sells for $25 Million
Plus Icon Seller Chris Mitchell and Pilar Guzmán
Plus Icon Location Bridgehampton, N.Y.
Plus Icon Price $25 million
Plus Icon Specs 12,000 square feet, with 10 bedrooms and 11.5 baths
Plus Icon Lot Size 2.3 acres
Quimby Lane in Bridgehampton, N.Y., is one of the best addresses in the Hamptons. It's a quiet, peaceful road with no through streets, lined with old houses, leading down to Sagaponack Pond. Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters has a house on the pond, with ocean views. Next door to him, a teardown sold in 2019 for $26 million.
This property, which is not on the pond, also sold in 2019, for $7.1 million, to Chris Mitchell and Pilar Guzmán, both former Condé Nast executives. (He's a former publisher of Vanity Fair and she a former editor-in-chief of Condé Nast Traveler.) With the expertise of local architect Anne Sherry, the veteran media execs did a complete renovation and restoration, which included lifting the house and moving it, digging a new foundation, and then adding on so that the house feels like it had expanded slowly, over time. Back in March, the couple put the property on the market asking $28.5 million; it sold in August for $25 million to an anonymous LLC. Listing agents were Beate Moore and Frank Newbold at Sotheby's Int'l Realty.
The original farmhouse that stood on the property was built in 1700, but it was knocked down by inventor and lightning rod dealer Edward Everett Quimby, who initially rented the house and later bought the property and 30+ surrounding acres to create a family compound.
This rambling, cedar-shingled residence, which was built in 1902 for one of the Quimby relations and presides over 2.3 manicured acres on the corner of Quimby Lane and Ocean Road, was looking tired 120 years later. It had last been renovated in the 1980s and looked it. Mitchell and Guzmán told Bloomberg that the previous owners "took every part that was historically authentic out of the house and put in the plastic, hollow-core door version that still read 'historic' but was still every bit 1980s imitation."
The serial renovators, who've worked in the Hamptons and Brooklyn, were up for the challenge. They added on a wing, taking the house, which was originally 4,700 square feet, with 7 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, to 12,000 square feet, with 10 beds and 11.5 baths. They added a spa, steam room, wine closet, fitness studio and home theater. Outside, they added a new 50-foot pool, an entertaining pavilion with fireplace near the tennis court, and a hornbeam allée with a 20-foot-long dining table. They also renovated the carriage house and separate studio building.
It's all very nicely done, as evidenced by the high sale price. Although somewhere, Mr. Quimby is wondering where the lightning rods are.

Honoring the Burnt Beauty: Visiting the Notre Dame Post-Fire
Neha Sunkara '21, Food Editor
Notre Dame, an icon of a building to all people around the world. It is one of the largest tourist sites for Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Built in the 1100s to 1300s and consecrated to the Virgin Mary, it holds a great importance to people around the world, as an awe-inspiring piece of architecture and as a cathedral for Catholics. The news of this magnificent 850-year-old structure burning in a fire struck at the hearts of many, including myself.
The Notre Dame was always one of the buildings on top of my list of places to visit. People always spoke of it magnificence, and I wanted to see it for myself. As I received the news of its burning, I felt my hope of seeing it start to crumble. I watched in shock as a newscaster emotionally explained what had happened: Notre Dame's spire and roof were burned away by a massive fire that went on for hours and let out a black cloud of smoke. I saw a video that showed the spire of Notre Dame falling in flames and at once, I realized that it would take a while to fix Notre Dame and that visitors would not be allowed in. I knew I was visiting Europe over the summer, so I begged my dad to let me visit Notre Dame, even though it was damaged. I wanted to prove to myself that it was still standing.
On our second day in Paris, we went to see the cathedral. As soon as I turned the corner into the square, I saw it. Notre Dame. Giant, gothic, and grand. I felt tears arise as I walked around it, taking in the state that it's in. Surrounded by yellow construction vehicles and held together by wood stabilizers, Notre Dame emitted a damaged vibe while its beauty still shined through. As I gazed up at it in awe, I could not help but wonder how beautiful it must have looked before the fire. It started to rain, but I stayed there, staring at Notre Dame, taking it in, trying to memorize how it looked. As I left, it stood gloomily but radiated its magnificence.
An important lesson that Notre Dame taught me is to stay strong, even through tough times, as the cathedral did. It will be rebuilt, and though it may not be the same, Notre Dame still stands as a symbol of hope for all.

Quick Takeaways from Habits of Mind Workshop #1


If radii are drawn from the center of a regular polygon to the vertices, congruent isosceles triangles are formed. Using the apothem as the height and the polygon side as the base, the area of each triangle can be calculated and summed. Therefore, the area regular polygons is equal to the number of triangles formed by the radii times their height: (side length)(apothem length)(number of sides)/2.
If we want to calculate the area of any regular polygon, the first thing we need to do is to write it inscribed in a circle, and by doing that we've created the ability to draw an apothem. Now an apothem is a perpendicular segment from the center of the circumscribed circle to one of the sides of your polygon. Now the reason why this is important is because if we want to calculate this hexagon, so again this will apply to any regular polygon. What we're going to do is we're going to think, "well Mr. McCall, I have no idea how to calculate that area. But what I do know how to calculate is the area of a triangle." So if I divide this hexagon into congruent triangles, and they'll all be congruent because it's regular, then all I have to do is add up the area of my 6 triangles. So you can say the area of the hexagon, is equal to 6 times the area of one of those triangles. But how do we calculate the area of one of those triangles?
Well, if you recall in order to calculate the area of a triangle, you need two things. You need the base and its corresponding height. So that's why we need the apothem because the apothem is that corresponding height. So specifically for a polygon, we're going to call this a and we're going to call that base x where, if we go back here s is our side length. So notice that the sides will all be the same for a regular polygon. So the area of this triangle is going to be the apothem which is the height. So I'm going to say 6 times the apothem times the base which is s divide by 2. So the area of a hexagon is equal to 6 times the area of one of your triangles. But that's not very useful because this is only going to apply to a hexagon. So let's make this area formula for any type of polygon. So instead of writing 6, I'm going to write n for the number of sides. So I can write this as apothem times side length times number of sides all divided by 2.
Now if we look at this, I see that I can simplify this a little bit more. Getting back to our regular polygon. The perimeter, capital p of this polygon is going to be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6s. If I had a pentagon, that would be 5s. So what I'm going to say that the perimeter of any regular polygon is n times s. So I can substitute in for n times s, capital p which is going to stand for perimeter. So there's going to be two ways to write your area formula and I'm going to erase this to make it a little bit clear here.
So we're going to say the area of any regular polygon is equal to apothem times side length times the number of sides divided by 2, or if we substitute in for n times s, it's going to be the apothem times the perimeter divide by 2. So you have 2 different formulas, both of which will calculate the area of any regular polygon.

Which Firearm Is Best for Bear Defense?
July 11, 2018 By Larry Case
Every big-game hunter worth his salt has read Use Enough Gun, Robert Ruark's classic book on hunting big game. The premise of this collection of safari stories is that you should "use enough gun" for the game you are hunting. When it comes to choosing a firearm for defense against a charging bear, what is enough gun?
Last summer, I spent a week taking a class with employees of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Geological Survey — people who routinely spend time in some very remote country. Found in this country are bears of three different varieties: black bears, brown bears (the grizzly and the coastal brown bear), and polar bears. Any of these bears are capable of having a bad day if you meet up with them.
In a well-documented attack in 1977, Cynthia Dusel-Bacon, a geologist working with the USGS was mauled by a predatory black bear. (Bear researchers classify most bear attacks as either predatory or defensive.) Cynthia lost both arms as a result of the attack but recovered and continued her career with USGS. This incident led Steve Nelson, a coworker, to develop and begin teaching a firearm-based class on bear awareness and defense. He has taught hundreds of students including many from government agencies and private corporations, as well as average citizens who want to be better prepared to deal with members of the Ursus family. Nelson has had occasion to deal with four bears (two black bears and two grizzlies) in DLP situations (shooting a bear in Defense of Life and Property). The class I
attended was near Wasilla, Alaska, and here is some insight into what I learned.
Shotguns in Bear Country
More than any other firearm, a pump-action shotgun loaded with slugs is what Alaskans carry to hedge their bets with bears. There are several reasons for this. A shotgun is usually less expensive than a rifle, as is the ammunition. Shotguns are readily available in most areas and offer the versatility of using different types of ammo. In the bush you can carry the shotgun loaded with heavy slugs for bear medicine and switch to bird shot if you need to take small game.
Reliability is the simple reason most of those who work in the backcountry choose the pump gun. Semiautomatics have not yet won over the populace for this work. Although any configuration of the shotgun will do when confronted with 800 or more pounds of teeth, claws, and muscle, the tactical versions are the most popular. Short barrels and long magazines are the keys here. The shorter barrel is handier in tight places, and extended magazines readily offer more ammunition. Rifle sights on these shotguns are popular, and several of the Alaskans I spoke with like a ghost ring rear sight. Remember, we are talking very close range in dealing with a charging bear — less than 50 yards and sometimes just a matter of feet.
Remington 870 DM Magpul
If you think that not much more can be said about the iconic 870 shotgun, you are right. The rock-solid twin action bars along with the one-piece solid steel receiver are the basis for this shotguns reputation of reliability. The 18.5-inch barrel, extended magazine holding six rounds, 3-inch chamber, and ghost ring rear sight make the 870 DM Magpul a good choice for bear and home-defense. $800; remington.com
Big Rifles for Big Bears
"The shotgun with slugs is great for bear defense, but I am admittedly a rifle guy," Nelson told me. Nelson is an avid hunter in Alaska, so it stands to reason he would often be carrying a rifle anyway. Although he recommends "anything .30-06 and up," like many Alaskans he is a fan of the big bore guns: .375 H&H, .375 Ruger, .338 Win. Mag., and sometimes he will pack a Marlin lever gun in .45-70. I noted that Nelson liked open sights for bear-defense situations — again, this is short-range work. Nelson admitted with the effects of age on eyesight he is looking more at using red dot sights on a rifle. He believes they are effective and allow quick target acquisition. What he has not decided on is if these sights will stand up to the pounding they may take while working in the Alaskan bush.
At the risk of raising the ire of lever gun fans I was a little surprised that some of those in the class carried Marlins chambered in .45-70. The .45-70 being a good choice for bears no doubt, but I was skeptical about working a lever gun under the stress of a bear charge. Nelson demonstrated he had no problem with rapid-fire drills on the range, and reiterated that practice and familiarity with the weapon are very important.
CZ-USA 550 Safari Magnum
This rifle has been known worldwide as the 602 Brno and is now made by CZ-USA. Alaskans like this full-sized magnum rifle, rather than a downsized action made to fit big-bore calibers. The Safari Magnum holds three rounds of .416 Rigby or five rounds of .458 Win. Mag. Features include a controlled-round-feed action, fixed ejector, single-set trigger, beautiful Turkish walnut stock, and three leaf sights. $1,215; cz-usa.com
Wheelguns Get the Nod
I found these Alaskans like big-bore handguns for the ease in carry as well as stopping power on a bear with malice in its heart. Carrying a long gun in the bush can become tiresome, as you are hiking through the brush, getting on and off ATVs, and in and out of boats and airplanes. The risk can be that when the scat hits the fan, the long gun may not be in your hands — it was left in the boat, on the ATV, or leaning against a convenient tree.
This is where a handgun strapped on your hip or in a shoulder or chest rig may save your bacon. The Alaskans I spent time with were not bashful about carrying big calibers. The .454 Casull rules the roost here, and there is no doubt this round is a beast and capable of bringing down the wrath of God if unleashed. The trick is that no matter how effective the .454 is you must be capa- ble of hitting something with it. Many in Nelson's class thought the .44 Magnum was an acceptable step down if the shooter did not want to deal with the recoil of the .454 Casull.
Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan Model
The Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 Casull is a beast. The Alaskan Model with a 2.5-inch barrel is even more so. Ruger's triple locking cylinder, along with a beefed-up frame in the topstrap, sidewalls, and barrel mounting area make the Super Redhawk a dependable revolver for shooting big-bore calibers like the .480 Ruger and the .454 Casull. The recoil-cushioning Hogue grips and adjustable rear sight are a nice touch. It's also available in .44 Magnum. $1,189; ruger.com

Transparency promise delivers emergency surveillance law deal
The government's promise to increase transparency and oversight has secured a political deal to pass emergency surveillance legislation
Warwick Ashford
Security Editor
The government has promised greater transparency and oversight in a political deal to persuade MPs to pass emergency surveillance legislation that will force phone and internet firms to retain and hand over data.
The emergency legislation is due to be debated on Tuesday 15 July and complete all its parliamentary stages two days later. If passed, it will reinstate powers struck down by the European Court of Justice in April.
Justifying the move, David Cameron said: "I am simply not prepared to be a prime minister who has to address the people after a terrorist incident and explain that I could have done more to prevent it."
He emphasised that the data retained would not include the content of messages and phone calls, just details of when and whom the service providers' customers had called, texted and emailed.
The emergency Data Retention and Investigation Powers Bill will "clarify" the law on tapping suspects' phones by the police and security services to ensure that service providers respect government warrants.

Cameron insisted the move would not extend surveillance laws but maintain existing capabilities to protect the public from "criminals and terrorists".
To that end, the emergency legislation will force foreign-based companies to hand over data harvested in the UK.
According to The Guardian newspaper, this implicitly accepts the revelations by whistleblower Edward Snowden that some of the UK governement's surveillance activities did not have international legal authority.
This issue is likely to have been highlighted in the Conservative party's negotiations with the Liberal Democrats and Labour, leading to a deal that includes long-sought reforms to the accountability of the security services.
A Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board will also be created to scrutinise the impact of the law on privacy and civil liberties, and there will be annual government transparency reports on how these powers are used.
The deal also provides for:
the appointment of a former senior diplomat to lead discussions with the US government and internet firms to establish a new international agreement for sharing data between legal jurisdictions
a termination clause that will see the powers expire at the end of 2016
a wider review of the powers needed by government during the next parliament
greater flexibility in the length of time that data is retained, so it is held for no more than 12 months
a two-year expert review of the relevance of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000
a reduction in the number of public bodies that will be able to access data
a new restriction that data cannot be gathered purely in the economic interest of the UK
Civil liberties groups are also calling for greater transparency after figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act showed that the government paid almost £65m to communications service providers to retain communications data over a six-year period.
Emma Carr, acting director of Big Brother Watch, said: "It is clear that communications service providers are being paid with one hand and silenced with another. If the government wants to force communication service providers to retain citizens' data, then this must go hand in hand with greater transparency."

"1(3) The Secretary of State may by regulations make further provision about the retention of relevant communications data"
In other words, pass this bill and the Home Secretary can decide to retain the content as well as the metadata, without asking parliaments permission and without telling anyone else, so no one can object because no one will know.
Welcome back blanket surveillance, we've missed you as evidenced by all the terrorist activity on the mainland that's occurred since you've been gone.
Further, parliamentary promises mean nothing after an election so "greater transparency and oversight" probably means a secret council of ministers will meet to have lunch four times a year but not actually do anything. Also limits on powers keep finding a way to be extended due to extenuating circumstances so I'd take the "end of 2016" with a large grain of salt


I have a brand new whirlpool duet washer and from the beginning (two weeks ago), every third or fourth wash would end up as a F-21 code. I would just press the reset and open the door and shift around or remove, then spin and drain. This time the door won't unlock -- I've tried everything -- I don't want to remove cover, but I don't know what else to do!!! Help.
Having an error code on your washer can be an inconvenience since this can definitely keep your washer from operating properly. While you are waiting for an expert answer, I did manage to find a great link that describes a similar problem to the one that you are having. I hope my link is useful.
Thank you for your question and I understand your concern. Based on the fault code "F21", the washer is not able to drain any water or not draining fast enough.
If the washer is not able to drain water, the door will not unlock. There is an emergency door release tab/pull ring attached to the bottom of the door lock assembly.
The lower access panel can be taken off by removing the screws and then reaching up under the door lock and pulling downwards on the pull ring. Pull down and then you can open the door. Note: Using the wrong kind of detergent or using too much can cause F21 to display and then "SD" for suds to display. The drain pump cannot pump out suds and the suds can cause the pressure switch to take a long time to reset. High Efficiency (HE) detergents are recommended for front loading washers otherwise it can cause F21 or SD to appear.
If the washer is new and under warranty, I strongly suggest calling and setting up a service appointment to have your washer repaired.
If the washer is draining water and F21 continues to display, the water level pressure switch is likely faulty and will need to be replaced.
I recommend draining the tub and then the drain pump filter should be checked and cleaned.
If the above does not correct the problem, go to step 7.
