A couple of weeks ago while watching evening TV, I came across a show which emphasized individuals who "obsessed" over all things Christmas. The first segment dealt with a woman who was obsessed over "gingerbread men/items" and all things made with ginger. She used this spice in her food items–she kept a 155-lb. drum of ginger in her kitchen to create her latest concoction. She even purchased and carried around a larger-than-life stuffed gingerbread woman everywhere she went. As the segment continued, she expressed a desire to paint her home in a gingerbread color. She contacted a painting contractor, and he painted the home according to her specifications. Her daughter then surprised her mom by adding gingerbread decorations on the outside and told her mother that she would be willing to carry on the tradition of the gingerbread into the next century. This woman appeared to be genuinely happy and totally caught up in her obsession.
The next segment dealt with a man who, for over 20 years, celebrated Christmas every day. From the decorations in his house to the presents under the tree, he celebrated this holiday with his daughter and her family for 7,300 days. He rose early every day so that he could bake a fresh turkey in the oven. He indicated that he had burnt out several ovens over the years in the process of creating the perfect turkey for the dinner. His motivation for doing this was due to an unfortunate chain of events in his relationship with his spouse. In order to cheer himself up, he decided to decorate with Christmas decorations/ornaments. This made him happy so he continued this new found tradition for over 20 years. They even sang Christmas carols every day.
The last segment I watched was regarding a couple who was obsessed with finding and purchasing Santa and Mrs. Claus collectibles. Their tiny place was consumed with figurines–soft and hard–and they could barely move around. They hunted high and low for that one collectible they did not own. They kept track of what they already had by taking a photo of each item and keeping a list of them so they did not duplicate anything. It turned out this particular Christmas they decided to hunt for the "perfect" live Santa Claus so that they could include him in their annual Christmas picture. They interviewed and narrowed it down to three candidates, then chose the "one" real Santa to include. A professional photographer came to their home to make sure the picture turned out great.
As I sat in my living room watching and listening to their stories, I could not help but wonder why the Christ child had not been mentioned even one time. After all, the reason most of us celebrate Christmas is because Jesus came over 2,000 years ago and is the reason for the season. I thought how sad that people could be so overly obsessed with Christmas in the ways described above that they forgot to realize that He came to give us hope, joy, peace and love during this time of year.
As we celebrate this Christmas season and look forward to a new year, let us remember how He came that we could have abundant life and how He later sacrificed His life so that we could be free from our sin and experience eternal life.
May you have a joyous, blessed Christmas Season surrounded by friends and family and remember His love and spread it to others.

Using a Blackberry without the Blackberry features - Possible?
Thread: Using a Blackberry without the Blackberry features - Possible?
Hey peeps. Thanks for reading this.
I was wondering if it was possible to use a blackberry without subscribing to a blackberry plan. I only need to use it as a phone and to send text messages - that's it. No emails. I just wanted a keyboard. I found a 7290 which is quad band. It seems to fulfill my needs. What do you guys think? Is this possible or do I need a data plan to even do send messages (not email) and make calls?
You can use a BlackBerry w/out a Blackberry data pack but only for voice, sms and its pda functions.
If that works for you then you're set. If you want to surf the web, send/recieve email and/or p2p you'll need a BlackBerry data pack through your service provider.
Great! Thanks! Not looking for anything fancy. Just want the bloody keyboard and there's only a limited number of phones which have this feature.
Hey I saw this thread which brings up another question - does anyone know where the search button is on the forums. I was just wondering because I guess probably a lot of people ask this question. Never mind I'm too lazy to search for it so I'll just clutter the board up with another useless post.
Yes it is very possible, just put your sim card in there and away you go. you will be able to do on the blackberry besides email, pinning, blackberry messager or anything that uses data thats all..
There's a lot of misinformation on this thread, so let me set the record straight as I've understood the situation to be.
As I understand it, NO carrier will let you use a BlackBerry without the associated BlackBerry data plan, because they've all signed agreements with RIM wherein they agreed to make sure that ALL customers using a BlackBerry were also signed up for a BB data plan.
This is something I heard back in 2005, however, so my info may be out of date. Perhaps things have changed since then, I just can't verify that they have.
that's what i thought. doesn't blackberry automatically tack on a data plan once the phone is activated?
I don't know where you got your info at, but it is wrong.. RIM dosen't care why you buy blackberries as long as you are buying one.
of course without a data plan the blackberry is more.. On rogers the 8700 is only $100 bucks more, or $50 bucks more if you don't count the mail-in rebate..
How will they know if I'm using a BB? Why can't I use a regular dataplan to access the web?
I think this is only for IDEN networks. My gf has used a blackberry (7280 and 7290) for over a year and never had a data plan. She liked the BB because of the qwerty board for texting. GSM carriers or any carriers for that matter, will only try to convince you to add a data plan if you are just signing up. If you already have a voice plan, then you can just buy a BB on ebay and pop your SIM in and be ready to go. I know this is the case for Cingular and T-mobile.
After having asked this same question myself 4 months ago and watching countless others ask the same question.


Oyster was a streaming service for digital e-books, available for Android, iOS, Kindle Fire, and NOOK HD/HD+ devices. It was also available on any web browser on a desktop or laptop computer. Oyster held over 1 million books in its library, and as of September 2015, the service was only available in the United States.
In September 2015, Google acquired Oyster. No terms were disclosed but speculation put the price at somewhere between $20 million and $30 million. As a part of the acquisition it was reported that the founders would be leading Google Play Books in New York. In conjunction with the acquisition, Oyster shut down its existing service in early 2016.
The company was founded in 2012 by Eric Stromberg, Andrew Brown, and Willem Van Lancker, and is headquartered in New York City.
In October 2012, Oyster received $3 million in seed funding led by Founders Fund, a San Francisco-based venture capital firm founded by Peter Thiel and Ken Howery. On January 14, 2014, Oyster announced a $14 million funding round, led by Highland Capital Partners.
Oyster launched on September 5, 2013, opening paid access, at $9.95 a month, via invitations available on a first-come, first-served basis. The service was the first subscription service to bring on a "Big Five" publisher in HarperCollins, with Mashable calling the service the "first true Netflix-for-E-books." Common early criticisms included limited content and lack of multi-platform support, but its reading experience and design were widely praised. Within ten days, users had read over a million pages.
On October 16, 2013, Oyster launched support for the iPad. The company also removed invitations as a requirement to join, and offered a 30-day free trial to all new users. Along with an iOS app redesign, the website additionally allowed for browsing of curated book lists.
In June 2014, the company expanded its services to Android and Kindle Fire devices, and in July 2014, the company launched a web reader application.
In November 2014, Oyster launched its online editorial magazine, The Oyster Review, and its Author Advisory Board. Oyster's Author Advisory Board is composed of authors Roxane Gay, Megan Abbott, and Lauren Oliver.
In March 2015, the company hired Jeannie Mun as its first CFO. Mun was previously the CFO of MediaMath.
In April 2015, Oyster launched an ebook store, offering complete catalogues from all of the Big Five publishers for individual purchase, as a complement to its existing subscription service, Oyster Unlimited.
In September 2015, Oyster announced that it would sunset the existing Oyster service "over the next several months" and the company was to be acquired by Google. Google and Oyster did not comment but there is speculation that Google plans to enter the subscription market for ebooks.
Oyster offers several different reading modes, access to over 1 million titles, and book recommendations from its editorial staff. Users can also take advantage of highlighting and notes features and share their activities with friends using the platform. In June 2015, Oyster added a new feature, called Lumin, to help readers sleep better. The feature adjusts a reader's phone or tablet's light based on location and time of day, reducing the amount of blue light at night. Studies have shown that the blue light from smartphones and tablets can interfere with sleep.
Oyster offers over 1,000,000 titles from over 1,600 publishers. Of the Big Five publishers, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Macmillan Publishers have titles available through Oyster Unlimited, as well as a number of smaller presses including Perseus Book Group and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Smashwords, a self-publishing platform, also distributes to Oyster and appears to be the primary publisher of works available on Oyster Unlimited. All of the Big Five publishers offer books for purchase in Oyster's ebook store.
In January 2014, Oyster brought the entire Harry Potter series to the service through a partnership with J.K. Rowling and Pottermore. Oyster created a special user interface for reading the books as well as several exclusive interactive features to showcase the collection.
Carolyn Reidy, CEO of Simon & Schuster, told a panel at Digital Book World in 2014 that the publisher had not signed up over "unresolved questions about how to avoid devaluing books and cannibalizing sales." However, in May 2014, the publisher added their entire backlist at that point, consisting of about 14,000 titles, to the platform.
In addition to the company's subscription service, Oyster also produces and edits a "literary magazine for the life well-read" called the Oyster Review. The magazine operates as a discovery vehicle for the subscription service's content and brings in author's for interviews and guest essays. Contributors include: Choire Sicha, Lauren Oliver, Megan Abbott, Longform, Of a Kind, San Fermin, Rainbow Rowell, Jeff Vandermeer, Teju Cole, and Judy Blume.
Reviews of Oyster from tech outlets have been largely positive with the service garnering several awards and "best of" recognitions. Reports and reviews largely focus on the service's excellent user experience, design, and focus on mobile reading.
In 2013, Oyster was named TechCrunch's "Best iOS Apps of the Year." Wired has described the app's design as "gorgeous", and PandoDaily said the app "makes Amazon look old,". The New York Times called it the "prettiest of the ebook subscription services." Shortly after the launch of company's Android app, the service was awarded Google's "Beautiful Design Award."

Home / election / 2020 Election News / Arizona Senate race could impact confirmation of new justice
Arizona Senate race could impact confirmation of new justice
By: Jonathan Cooper	September 21, 2020

If Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly wins a seat in the U.S. Senate, he could take office as early as Nov. 30, shrinking the GOP's Senate majority at a crucial moment and complicating the path to confirmation for President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee.
Kelly has maintained a consistent polling lead over Republican Sen. Martha McSally, who was appointed to the seat held by John McCain, who died in 2018.
Because the contest is a special election to finish McCain's term, the winner could be sworn in as soon as the results are officially certified. Other winners in the November election won't take office until January.
Trump has pledged to nominate a replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a liberal icon who died Friday, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vowed that Trump's nominee "will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate."

If Kelly wins, the timing when he formally takes office could be crucial in determining who replaces Ginsburg. It could eliminate a Republican vote in favor of Trump's nominee — the GOP currently has 53 seats in the 100-member chamber — or require McConnell to speed up the nomination process.
With McSally in the Senate, four GOP defections could defeat a nomination, while a tie vote could be broken by Vice President Mike Pence.
McSally quickly laid down a marker, declaring on Twitter within hours of the announcement of Ginsberg's death that "this U.S. Senate should vote on President Trump's next nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court."
She has not elaborated on whether the confirmation vote should come before or after the election. But she highlighted the renewed stakes of her race in a fundraising pitch on Saturday.
"If Mark Kelly comes out on top, HE could block President Trump's Supreme Court Nominee from being confirmed," she wrote.
Democrats in 2018 found success in Arizona, a state long dominated by the GOP, by appealing to Republicans and independent voters disaffected with Trump. The Supreme Court vacancy could shake up the race and boost McSally's lagging campaign by keeping those voters in her camp.
Kelly said late Saturday that "the people elected to the presidency and Senate in November should fill this vacancy."
"When it comes to making a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court, Washington shouldn't rush that process for political purposes," Kelly said in a statement.

Republican and Democratic election lawyers agreed that Arizona law is clear: If Kelly wins, he will take office once the results are official.
Arizona Supreme Court precedent favors putting elected officials in elected positions as soon as possible, said Tim LaSota, the former lawyer for the Arizona Republican Party and a McSally supporter.
"Somebody who has only been appointed does not have the imprimatur of the electorate," LaSota said. "It's sort of intuitive that the law should favor somebody who has won an election as opposed to someone who's just been appointed."
Arizona law requires election results to be officially certified on the fourth Monday after the election, which falls this year on Nov. 30. The certification could be delayed up to three days if the state has not received election results from any of the 15 counties.
Mary O'Grady, a Democratic lawyer with expertise in election law, said the deadlines are firm and there's little room for delay.
"I don't see ambiguity here," said O'Grady, who was Arizona's solicitor general under two Democratic attorneys general.
Arizona law allows recounts and election challenges only under very limited circumstances, she said.
"Usually, the Secretary of the Senate's office goes out of its way to accommodate the new senators coming in," former Senate Historian Don Ritchie told The Arizona Republic, which first reported on the prospect for Kelly taking office early a day before Ginsburg's death. "The old senator is out of their office there. I mean, they actually literally put a lock on the door so their staff can't go in."

In our continuing series, we look at NCAA conference's team/players blitz identification and when they knew it was a go, when the QB was in shotgun in an Ace formation. This is a crucial piece in drafting several positions.
This report shows who had good blitz identification on both sides of the ball, either to protect against it or know where they could.
First you see the Scout's notes and then below, the explanation what it all means. I've changed this team's formation name to Rainbow to protect the Scout and team/conference.
The numbers in front of the percentages indicate how many times over the 11 games that were scouted. A percentage without an amount of how many times something was done/attempted has no value. It also gives NCAA/NFL scouts an idea of how a team/player operates and their load.
Is the RB the indicator where the pressure will come from?
Is the boundary the indicator? That's what you need to know. 'Hey, forget the RB…72% of their pressure schemes come when we're on the hash, and they come from the boundary and play coverage to the field. Was their blitz identification good?
Or, they blitz to the side the RB is on, no matter if it's from the boundary or the field. 'We're gonna blitz the LB who is opposite the RB'.
The other stat is something we need to know. Rainbow is that team's base formation (10 personnel, 2 by 2 WR's)…so when they're in gun, where are they going to set their 3T at? To the RB or away? And that will dictate how they protect and where they set up the protection scheme, plus will give them an idea of which way to run their zone scheme runs.
The Force LB is the LB who still has the B Gap responsibilities to his side in the run game. He may not line up over the B gap. He may displace himself out to halfway between the tackle and first receiver, or out even further, but on the snap of the ball, he sneaks a peak to the action at the LOS to see if it's a run, and he's gotta get back into a position where he can defend the B gap.
A lot of times just based on hash marks, it's the LB that is lined up into the boundary, because he has a shorter distance between him and his gap as opposed to the LB to the field.
The force LB is often identified with subtle movements. On the snap of the ball, he may take a jab step forward as he needs to get downhill quick to get back to the B Gap. He may end up in coverage, but his first responsibility is the B gap to his side. Did they execute blitz identification?
A move call is something that New England uses in short yardage situations. Their Defensive Lineman will line up normally, then as the QB starts his cadence, you'll hear a command from the linebackers that tells the defensive lineman to slide down one gap.
The intention is to catch a left guard off-balance and maybe you'll get a cheap 5 yard false start out of him because he started a count too early because he was watching the defense move like the ball was being snapped, instead of listening to the cadence.
How a player and his team identifies the blitz goes to coaching. The NFL wants players that can do this (and coaches who can teach it well). It's not just athletes they're checking out.


There are a lot of holes in our collective memory when we think back on great moments in popular culture. When I told friends about how I met and spoke with Harriet Miers and her family last month, most of them had totally forgotten who she was. I still can't remember the name of that weird cartoon with the alligator named Jolene. In 5 to 10 years, my dad won't be the only person who doesn't know who Kate Gosselin is.
I have a special place in my heart for one particular show that most of the world seems to have forgotten – or never heard about at all: Sifl N Olly. I loved this show when it was really on TV, and I still love it today. We have to rely on YouTube for most record of the show, as MTV/Viacom has never released the astonishingly bizarre and hilarious sock puppet "talk show" on DVD. Creators Matt Crocco and Liam Lynch did release an unaired third season of the show several years ago. It's wonderful.
So much a part of my subconscious is this silly program that today, while walking down the street, a stray thought about fake blood (I was looking at a horrifying cake) managed to get the song "Fake Blood" from Sifl N Olly in my head. And then I nearly laughed out loud. While walking down the street. Alone.
If you don't find strange things funny, you might as well stop reading now. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and click play.
From GalsGuide.com..."Let Free Chicago Summer Begin!"
No, I haven't forgotten my pledge to post daily. But I really wanted this post, written on Wednesday, to get onto GalsGuide before I placed it here. Oh imaginary readership, why must you berate me so?
Note to self: install widget on website to determine whether or not readership is actually imaginary.
At any rate, here's the post. Enjoy!
It's officially summer in Chicago! Sure, it may technically still be spring, and it may technically be 50 degrees outside, but the season during which the city comes alive with amazing (free!) stuff was kicked off in style tonight at Opening Night of the 75th Annual Grant Park Music Festival (which is now held in Millenium Park due to the incomprable grandiosity of Pritzker Pavilion verson the Petrillo Music Shell).
I could go on about how moved I was by tonight's performance of Tchaikovsy's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Mussorgsky's Pictures At an Exhibition, but I'd rather just recommend that you check out the festival's website ASAP and get yourself to one or more shows this summer. Not a classical music fan? This season has mariachi, Brazilian Jazz, Gilbert and Sullivan…and a whole lot of symphonies, both classic and modern.
Most shows start at 6:30 and typically last just 90 minutes, the free seating is on the gorgeous open lawn at Millenium Park, and hey, it's free. What have you got to lose?
I could have called this post "2 days, 2 mistakes."
Yesterday, I mentioned the story of putting off writing a review until it was essentially a moot point.
Today, I learned that even good intentions aren't enough to make my little daily-posting project succeed. I wrote an entire article about this super-cool TEDtalk and a corresponding New Yorker article, and I planned on posting it both here and on another great site I write for, Gals' Guide. In the name of woking quickly, I composed the entire thing in the typically reliable SquareSpace edit window that site uses (I use TypePad for this blog; my understanding is that SquareSpace is better for sites that have many contributors). I finished the article and switched from "WYSIWYG" to "Raw HTML" to embed the video of the talk...and the page reloaded with all of the post's content totally gone.
Well, it's getting late, so I guess I'll try to recompose my thoughts tomorrow. Who knows, maybe the second try will be a bit more elegant. But whatever it ends up looking like, you'd better believe I'm going to compose it on my nice, safe, Time-Machined computer before trying to enter the text online.
So here's the question: If I say I'm going to post every day, something, anything, every day, will that be commitment enough to actually do it? Throughout this week, I've had passing thoughts that would have made perfectly lovely blog posts here on PopSent.
I met Harriet Miers. She told me I had a pretty name.
I went to a graduation in Dallas where, in a class of almost 500, there was only 1 fat girl.
I played Rock Band for the first time.
I went to an alumni party for my university, where I found about 7 people I knew at all.
I saw a variety of advertisements, both wonderful and frustrating.
Okay, so some of these things are more remarkable than others; no matter. I frequently think in a sort of narrative style, composing my thoughts as if I were preparing them for mass review. Like so many things in life we rarely discuss, I have no idea whether or not this is normal.
Fingers crossed, I will try my best to make PopSent a nightly ritual.

ARTISTS (current)
Exhibitions list
Niki de Saint Phalle, Paradis Retrouvé
Opera Gallery Paris
19 October - 30 November 2022
Opera Gallery Paris is delighted to present Niki de Saint Phalle, Paradis Retrouvé, displaying the dynamic and feminist works conveyed through her beautiful and fantastical world. About thirty exceptional works by the Franco-American artist are presented, highlighting her creativity through a variety of techniques and materials in a universe populated by imaginary animals and colourful Nanas. The exhibition draws parallels with the famous Tarot Garden, a group of sculptures made in Tuscany between 1979 and 1993, which recreates his dreamlike style on a human scale. Niki de Saint Phalle's passion for esotericism and her practice of palmistry was also inspired by the divination of tarot cards. Within her oeuvre we see allusions to the Garden of Eden with the imposing sculpture of Adam and Eve and the recurring and iconic image of the snake, as well as that of the tree of life.
Throughout her career, Saint Phalle never ceased to weave fragments of her own life into her work. The cathartic benefits of the creative act thus offered her the opportunity to escape into a world that obeyed its own codes. Her rounded figures, often monumental, tame the demons that inhabit the artist. Paradis Retrouvé is in this sense a fantastic garden imagined by Saint Phalle, inhabited by gigantic sculptures and devouring monsters. This places the art of Saint Phalle "between two poles, Heaven and Hell", as Pierre Restany, New Realism art critic, said regarding her oeuvre. Her work acted as a form of therapy, allowing her to externalize the pains and reveries she grew up with.
This exhibition brings together a set of works illustrating this imaginary paradise that she has built and invites the viewer to immerse themself in a dreamlike journey.

Q: Improve my Shared Secret Algorithm/Methodology & suggest a Encryption Protocol I am looking for protocol/algorithm that will allow me to use a shared secret between my App & a HTML page.
The shared secret is designed to ensure only people who have the app can access the webpage.
My Problem: I do not know what algorithm(my methodology to validate a valid access to the HTML page) & what encryption protocol I should use for this.
People have suggested to me that I use HMAC SHAXXX or DES or AES, I am unsure which I should use - do you have any suggestions?
My algorithm is like so:

*

*I create a shared secret that the App & the HTML page know of(lets call it "MySecret"). To ensure that that shared secret is always unique I will add the current date & minute to the end of the secret then hash it using XXX algorithm/protocol(HMAC/AES/DES). So the unencrypted secret will be "MySecret08/17/2011-11-11" & lets say the hash of that is "xyz"

*I then add this hash to the url CGI: http://mysite.com/comp.py?sharedSecret=xyz

*The comp.py script then uses the same shared secret & date combination, hashes it, then checks that the resulting hash is the same as the CGI variable sharedSecret("xyz"). If it is then I know a valid user is accessing the webpage.

Can you think of a better methodology to ensure on valid people can access my webpage(the webpage allows the user to enter a competition)?
I think I am on the correct track using a shared secret but my methodology for validating the secret seems flawed especially if the hash algorithm doesn't produce the same result for the same in put all the time.

A:
especially if the hash algorithm doesn't produce the same result for the same in put all the time.

Then the hash is broken. Why wouldn't it?
You want HMAC in the simple case. You are "signing" your request using the shared secret, and the signature is verified by the server. Note that the HMAC should include more data to prevent replay attacks - in fact it should include all query parameters (in a specified order), along with a serial number to prevent the replay of the same message by an eavesdropper. If all you are verifying is the shared secret, anyone overhearing the message can continue to use this shared secret until it expires. By including a serial number, or a short validity range, you can configure the server to flag that.
Note that this is still imperfect. TLS supports client and server side certificate support - why not use that?

A: The looks like it would work. Clock drift could be a problem, you may need to validate a range of, say, +/- 3 minutes if it fails for the exact time.

flawed especially if the hash algorithm doesn't produce the same result for the same input all the time

Well, that would be a broken hash algorithm then. A hash reliable produces the same output for the same input every time (and almost always a different output for a different input).

A: Try using some sort of network encryption.  Your web server should be able to handle that type of authentication automatically.  All that remains is for you to write it into your app (which you have to do anyway).  Depending on your app platform, you may be able to do that automatically as well.
Google these: Kerberos, SPNEGO and HTTP 401 Authorization Required.  You may be able to get away with simple hard-coded user name and password HTTP headers and run your connections over HTTPS.  That way you have less custom code on your server and your server takes care of authenticating your requests for you.  Not to mention you are taking advantage of some additional features of HTTP.

Indians Assembled in Grand Council to Hold a "Talk"
Generously provided by Buffalo Bill Center of the West
Stewart considered it a great honor to be invited to attend an Indian council. In the course of the troop's stay at the rendezvous in 1837, he evidently had an opportunity to join several such gatherings as an observer and, on one occasion, to even serve as an intermediary between contested interests.
In this drawing, Stewart can be seen on his white horse witnessing the beginnings of a council. No orator has come forward to command attention as yet, but the open ground in the center of the circled group invites the intrusion of such a speaker. The drawing was part of the numbered portfolio that Miller assembled for his patron at the end of their travels.
Peter H. Hassrick
Native Government (Crow Tribe):
Trapper Osborne Russell provided this description of the hierarchy and general government among the Crow Indians: "Their government is a kind of Democracy The Chief who can enumerate the greatest number of valiant exploits is unanimously considered the Supreme ruler All the greatest warriors below him and above a certain grade are Counsillors and take their seats in the council according to their respective ranks. The voice of the lowest rank having but little weight in discussing matters of importance. When a measure is adopted by the council and approved by the head Chief it is immediately put in force by the order of the military commander who is appointed by the Council to serve for an indefinite period A standing Company of soldiers is kept up continually for the purpose of maintaining order in the Village. The Captain can order any young man in the Village to serve as a soldier in turn and the council only can increase or diminish the number of soldiers at pleasure. The greatest Chiefs cannot violate the orders which the Capt. receives from the Council – No office or station is hereditary neither does wealth constitute dignity. The greatest Chief may fall below the meanest citizen for misdemeanor in office and the lowest citizen may rise to the most exalted station by the performance of valiant deeds."
Grand Council:
Mountain man Jim Beckwourth, who resided with the Crow Indians for several years and claimed to have been made a chief of that tribe, indicated that a "grand council" was the gathering of two or more villages or bands of the same tribe to discuss important tribal business. While living with the Crows, Beckwourth recalled the following meeting: "At the assembly of our two villages a grand council was held, wherein certain principles of action were deliberated and adjusted. On the death of a chief all his plans die with him, and it devolves upon his successor to come to an understanding with his confederate head chief. In this deliberation it is determined upon what rules the villages shall move, which direction each shall take, and what shall be the relations existing between them. There is generally a harmony preserved between the chiefs, and much method is shown in the preliminary adjustment of details."
Reasons for Council:
The treatment of visitors by native tribes, especially "whites" was a common reason for holding a council. In one encounter with a band of Snake Indians, American Fur Company trapper Warren Ferris related: "Relying on their professions of friendship, and unsuspicious of ill faith, we took no precautions against surprise, but allowed them to rove freely through camp, and handle our arms, and in short gave them every advantage that could be desired. The temptation was too much for their easy virtue. Such an opportunity of enriching themselves, though at the cost of the blackest ingratitude, they could not consent to let slip, and therefore held a council on the subject at which it was resolved to enter our camp under the mask of friendship, seize our arms, and butcher us all on the spot."
Initiating peace and trade were also reasons for tribes to council as described in another passage by Ferris: "Two or three days after their arrival, the whole village, consisting of fifty lodges of Flatheads, Nezperces, and Pend'orielles, came in sight, but unlike all other Indians we have hitherto seen, they advanced to meet us in a slow and orderly manner singing their songs of peace … When the Chief had come up, he grasped the hand of our Partizan, (leader) raised it as high as his head, and held it in that position while he muttered a prayer of two minutes duration. In the same manner he paid his respects to each of our party, with a prayer of a minute's length. His example was followed by the rest, in the order of rank. The whole ceremony occupied about two hours, at the end of which time each of us had shaken hands with them all. Pipes were then produced, and they seated themselves in a circle on the ground, to hold a council with our leaders respecting trade."

Sarcoidosis is a disease that causes inflammation of the body tissues. This leads to small lumps called granulomas. The disease can affect any organ in the body. But it often starts in the lungs and lymph nodes.
It is not known what causes sarcoidosis. It results from a problem with the body's immune system. The main job of the immune system is to help the body fight infection. People of any age, race, or gender can have it. But it happens most often in people between the ages of 20 and 40. It is also more common in women than in men.Newer research suggests that sarcoidosis may be related to exposures to dust, mold, and other infections or bacteria.
When you breathe in, you inhale air that is full of oxygen. The oxygen travels from the lungs to the blood. Then it is carried to the rest of the body. In some cases of pulmonary sarcoidosis, the lungs become scarred. This is called pulmonary fibrosis. This scarring can make it hard to take a full breath. The damage can also make it hard for oxygen to pass from the lungs into the blood.
Most people have no symptoms at all. If symptoms do occur, they can include dry cough, tightness in the chest, and tiredness. Wheezing, shortness of breath, skin rashes, joint pain, kidney stones, vision problems, and loss of appetite can also occur. In some cases, pulmonary sarcoidosis stops getting worse. It may even go away. In other cases, the disease is long-lasting (chronic).
Many people don't need treatment. The disease may not cause symptoms. And it may go away on its own. But treatment can be done to help relieve symptoms. It can reduce inflammation and help prevent damage. Medicines are used to treat the disease. More than one may be used. They may be taken in pill form or by injection. Some common ones are listed below.
Prednisone. This is an anti-inflammatory steroid (corticosteroid). It helps prevent or reduce inflammation that can harm lungs.
Methotrexate. This medicine is commonly the first one used so that you can cut back on the dose of prednisone. This helps lower the long-term side effects of the steroid.
Azathioprine. This medicine suppresses the immune system. It may be used alone or with prednisone. It helps reduce lung inflammation.
Cyclophosphamide. This is another type of medicine that suppresses the immune system. It may be used with prednisone. You may be given it as a single dose if you have problems with prednisone.
Other medicines that may be used include anti-TNF medicines such as infliximab and etanercept. Antimalaria medicines such as hydroxychloroquine may help when skin, joints or brain are affected.
Note: These medicines can have serious side effects. Talk with your healthcare provider about them. Don't stop taking a medicine unless your provider says it's OK. And tell your healthcare provider or pharmacist about all medicines you use. This includes over-the-counter medicines. It also includes herbs or supplements.

Exercise is better than drugs for treating depression! A study from Duke psychologist James Blumenthal and his team from the October 2000 issue of the journal Psychosomatic Medicine divided 156 people into 3 groups: anti-depression group, exercise group, combination group. The result? The exercise-only improved the most and only the exercise group remained continued to improve over time!
On top of that, no matter how much I worked out or lifted weights, my core power was always lacking. And believe me; I was doing situps and crunches almost everyday. I was told that's the only workout you needed for a strong core. The problem is that all of the 'conventional' ways to exercise, especially those machines in the gyms, are just designed to isolate and work a couple muscles at a time. While this may, when done most days of the week, achieve results that look incredible, the body is still pretty weak as a whole.

Mental Health Pilot Program in New York City Shows Promising Results as an Alternative to the Police
Written by Andrew Leung on July 23, 2021

13-Year-Old Granddaughter of MLK, Yolanda Renee King, Calls for 'Work' and 'Action' January 18, 2022
In 2020, the deaths of Daniel Prude and Angelo Quinto at the hands of the police sparked public outrage and prompted calls for police reform — particularly when it comes to individuals suffering from mental health crises. A new program in New York City, the most densely populated city in the United States, shows early promising signs of being a workable model as an alternative to police intervention, reducing hospitalizations while increasing effective de-escalation — including the number of people accepting the offer for mental health counseling.
NBC News reports that the Behavioral Health Emergency Assistance Response Division (B-HEARD) program has already responded to "about 110 calls where there was no weapon or imminent risk of violence."
Launched in June 2021 in Harlem, New York, B-HEARD employs a three-person team of social workers instead of cops and paramedics when a 911 dispatcher deems a call to be a mental health crisis.
"In 95% of those cases, the city said, the subject of the call accepted the team's offer of assistance," NBC News reported, noting that the rate for acceptance of help during the old police officer/paramedic model was 82%.
NBC News also noted that the form of assistance is also changing. In the old model, almost all subjects were driven to the hospital by default, whereas in the newer B-HEARD model, 50% of people were taken home or brought to a nonemergency community center.
Studies have shown that people with untreated mental illnesses are 16 times more likely to be killed by law enforcement despite the majority of them not posing a threat to others.
In October 2020, the ACLU discussed the need to address mental health crises without involving the police and outlined alternatives to police intervention, from community-based networks to deploying mental health counselors. Since then, programs like Crisis Assistance Helping Out On The Streets (CAHOOTS) in Eugene, Oregon; Community Action Team (CAT)-911 in Los Angeles; and Mobile Assistance Community Responders of Oakland, California (M.A.C.R.O.) have all launched to varying levels of success.
One common concern or criticism of these community-based and mental-health-forward programs is the safety of the first responders, but according to NBC News, backup from the NYPD was only needed seven times. On the other hand, the city said the NYPD called B-HEARD 14 times after responding to a call and realizing "police services weren't needed."
"The fact that they have only asked for police backup seven times in all of these cases, to us, shows that we're screening cases appropriately and [B-HEARD is] responding to cases where the mental health crisis is really what's dominant," said Susan Herman, senior advisor to the Mayor and Director of the Mayor's Office of Community Mental Health.
NBC News reported that B-HEARD currently responds to 25% of daily mental health calls in the pilot region, but the city is working on expanding the program's reach to 50%.

As we all know in politics, parties have an important role to play in elections. Unfortunately, a party can sometimes be a hindrance to getting things done. That is NOT what voters expect nor what they should get. Voters expect us to work together to solve the problems of our communities, reach out to the opposition, fellow elected officials and others, in good faith, to negotiate solutions not make the problems worse. All too frequently the opposite occurs to the detriment of us all.
I believe that we must negotiate solutions, and that cannot be done when we demonize the person on the other side of the table. We cannot blame all of our problems on "the other guy," ignore our own faults, or refuse to communicate. Common sense dictates we MUST reach out in good faith and work together. As I have campaigned this past six months, that has been a major point I have made and, more importantly, a major point voters have shared with me. They are sick and tired of polarization in our county, demonizing other elected officials, blaming them for Clackamas County's problems, hiding behind phony promises of "let the voter decide" while our infrastructure deteriorates more and repairs become ever more costly and the bill gets larger. County commissioners are paid a decent salary "TO DECIDE," not pander, avoid, and procrastinate.
I have a demonstrated a successful record of getting the job done at Clackamas River Water, working with Democrats and Republicans to turn a once dysfunctional board and embarrassment of Clackamas County into a success. That happened because we worked together, did our homework, communicated the hard decisions to the public, and were open and honest with them.

So many common misconceptions about Publishers Clearing House. Find out what's real and what's not. Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes real facts. The Publishers Clearing House (PCH) sweepstakes is a contest that is open to residents of the United States of America and also Canada.

The premium offers are not the same as winnings, they are awarded to people who comply with the offer's instructions and are more like a "free gift".
Anyone who wins a Publishers Clearing House prize of more than $500 will be notified by post, or via the PCH Prize Patrol, in person. All of the winnings go straight to you, with no processing fee, handling charge or tax coming out of the winnings. Note that no-one except the Publishers Clearing House is authorized to contact winners, so if you get a message claiming to be from a celebrity, or a third party that is processing your winnings "for a fee", ignore it – the message is a scam.

Publishers Clearing House Thank you for this exciting opportunity!
I would love to be the win $7000.00 a week for life. I just feel like it is a scam. There is so much I would love to do with this type of money. I have been wanting to start a rehab for aggressive dogs that are put down in kill shelters, and with that combine a homeless shelter for humans. But have not had the money to do so. This type of money would give me a start. I need to do this before I lose my kidney. I will lose my kidney eventually due to a massive cyst sitting on my adrenal gland, doctors decided not to remove clusters of cyst because they were not (cancerous) so now the cluster of cysts have become one large cyst and at the moment it is stable. But as it grows I will lose the kidney. I would love to have the rehab and homeless shelter running at full capacity before then with someone in place to care for it. This is something needed in every city, state, country, all across the globe. Alas, I play the games just for the fun of it. Knowing it will never happen. Just not in the cards for me.. I have been told that PCH does nothing online. And you have to purchase stuff to win. Thanks for the free games though..
I am hereby claiming that my initials MV are the initials required to win $100.00 for the $7,000.00 Prize per Week for life.

Stock up on Eggos and get your record player ready.
The analog synth-heavy music of Stranger Things is finally coming to vinyl, after Geoff Barrow's Invada and Lakeshore Records announced a October 28 release date for the first volume of the hit Netflix show's soundtrack.
Composed by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein of Austin band S U R V I V E, the series' score has been heralded for its use of doomy synths and tension. Now, having been released digitally on August 12, with a CD release slated for October 14, it's been announced that the first volume of the show's soundtrack will arrive on vinyl at the end of October, just in time for all those inevitable Stranger Things Halloween parties.
According to Pitchfork, the double LP will come in a gatefold sleeve that includes a printed insert featuring album credits and additional art. Colour variant pressings will be also available. An announcement about the vinyl release of the soundtrack's second volume, as well as a 4xLP limited edition box set from Invada featuring both volumes of the soundtrack, is also on the horizon, with more details promised "soon".
While you wait for October 28 – stream a Stranger Things-inspired playlist of our favourite music to hunt Demogorgons to.

Actor Stephen Baldwin was arrested last week in Harlem and charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the third degree, a misdemeanor under New York law. According to reports, Baldwin was pulled over by police after making an illegal U-turn. During the course of the stop, police determined that Baldwin was driving with a suspended license, and made the arrest. A court appearance on the charge is scheduled for October. This provides us with an opportunity to discuss the offense of aggravated unlicensed operation (AUO).
What is Aggravated Unlicensed Operation?
Section 509 of the New York Vehicle and Transportation Law states simply that no person may drive a motor vehicle on a public highway unless he is duly licensed to do so. The only exception is driving during a road test to obtain your license. If you drive and do not have a valid license, you are subject to a fine of up to $300, and/or imprisonment for up to 15 days. The penalty is less if the offense consists of merely failure to renew your license.
"Aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the third degree.
(a) A person is guilty of the offense of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the third degree when such person operates a motor vehicle upon a public highway while knowing or having reason to know that such person's license or privilege of operating such motor vehicle in this state or privilege of obtaining a license to operate such motor vehicle issued by the commissioner is suspended, revoked or otherwise withdrawn by the commissioner.
There are various reasons why your license may have been suspended, revoked or withdrawn. It may be the result of an alleged failure to appear for a court date, your driving record, failure to pay fines, or for other reasons. The bottom line is that if you are driving with a suspended or revoked license, you may be charged, at a minimum, with third degree AUO.
Second degree AUO involves, at the outset, the same factors as AUO in the third degree – driving with a suspended, revoked or withdrawn license. The level of the offense may increase, however, based upon the reason for the suspension or revocation and/or your prior driving history. If your license was suspended or revoked as a result of the refusal to submit to a chemical test; a finding that you were a minor who consumed alcohol and drove; a conviction for DWI (driving while intoxicated) or DWAI (driving while ability impaired); or a mandatory suspension during the pendency of a DWI or DWAI case, then you can be charged with second degree AUO. That offense can also be charged if you have a prior conviction for aggravated AUO within the past 18 months, or if you have had three or more license suspensions for failure to appear, to answer, or to pay fines.
While AUO in the second degree is still a misdemeanor, both the fines and potential jail sentence are higher than third degree AUO.
First degree AUO consists of the elements of second degree AUO, plus added element that the current charge is DWI or DWAI; or that your license has been suspended on at least ten prior occasions; or that your license has been permanently revoked. First degree AUO is a class E felony, which carries a possible prison sentence of up to four years in prison.
Clearly, the penalties for AUO can be significant. In the case of Stephen Baldwin, charged with third degree AUO, we certainly can't predict the outcome. However, all AUO charges have potential consequences, including fines and incarceration. But the mere fact that you have been charged does not mean your case is doomed. There are defenses available. So if you have been charged with AUO or any driving offense, contact an experienced New York criminal lawyer to defend your rights.

Another aspect of a spiritual man is to be found in the philosophical mind. He may show no trace at all of orthodoxy or piety; he may seem to be quite a man of the world in business, or in the affairs of the worldly life. He takes all things smoothly, he tolerates all things, endures all things. He takes life easily with his understanding. He understands all things inwardly; outwardly he acts according to life's demand. No one may ever think that he is living the inner life. He may be settling a business affair, and yet he may have the realization of God and truth at the same time. He may not appear at all meditative or contemplative, and yet every moment of his life may be devoted to contemplation. He may take his occupation in everyday life as a means of spiritual realization. No one outwardly may consider for one moment that he is spiritually so highly evolved, except that those who come in contact with him may in time be convinced that he is an honest person; that he is fair and just in his principles and life; that he is sincere. That is all the religion he needs. In this way his outward life becomes his religion, and his inner realization his spirituality.
The third form of a spiritual being is that of a server, one who does good to others. In this form there may be saints hidden. They never speak about spirituality, nor much about the philosophy of life. Their philosophy and religion are in their action. There is love gushing forth from their heart every moment of their life, and they are occupied in doing good to others. They consider everyone who comes near them as their brother or their sister, as their child; they take an interest in the joy and the sorrow of all people, and do all they can to guide them, to instruct them, to advise them through their lives. In this form the spiritual person may be a teacher, a preacher, or a philanthropist. But in whatever form he may appear, the chief thing in his life is the service of mankind: doing good to another, bringing happiness to someone in some form. The joy that rises from this is high spiritual ecstasy, for every act of goodness and kindness has a particular joy which brings the air of Heaven. When a person is all the time occupied doing good to others, there is a constant joy arising; and that joy creates a heavenly atmosphere, creating within him that heaven which is his inner life. This world is so full of thorns, so full of troubles, pains and sorrows. In this same world he lives; but by the very fact of his trying to remove the thorns from the path of another, although they prick his own hands, he rises and this gives him that inner joy which is his spiritual realization.
There is the fourth form of a spiritual person, which is the mystic form; and that form is difficult to understand, because the mystic is born. Mysticism is not a thing which is learned; it is a temperament. A mystic may have his face turned towards the north while he is looking towards the south. A mystic may have his head bent low and yet he may be looking up. His eyes may be open outwardly while he may be looking inwardly; his eyes may be closed and yet he may be looking outwardly. The average man cannot understand the mystic; and therefore people are always at a loss when dealing with him. His 'yes' is not the same 'yes' that everybody says; his 'no' has not the same meaning as that which everybody understands. In almost every phrase he says there is some symbolical meaning. His every outward action has an inner significance. A man who does not understand his symbolical meaning may be bewildered by hearing a phrase which is nothing but confusion to him.
A mystic may take one step outwardly, inwardly he has taken a thousand; he may be in one city, and may be working in another place at the same time. A mystic is a phenomenon in himself and a confusion to those around him. He himself cannot tell them what he is doing, nor will they understand the real secret of the mystic. For it is someone who is living the inner life, and at the same time covering that inner life by outer action; his word or movement is nothing but the cover of some inner action. Therefore, those who understand the mystic never dispute with him. When he says 'Go', they go. When he says 'Come', they come. When he comes to them they do not say, 'Do not come'; they understand that it is the time when he must come; and when he goes from them they do not ask him to stay, for they know it is the time when he must go.
Neither the laughter of a mystic nor his tears are to be taken as any outward expression which means something. His tears may perhaps be a cover for very great joy, his smile, his laughter may be a cover for a very deep sentiment. His open eyes, his closed eyes, the turning of his face, his glance, his silence, his conversation, none of these has the meaning one is accustomed to attribute to them. Yet it does not mean that the mystic does this purposely; he is made thus; no one could purposely do it even if he wished, no one has the power to do it. The truth is that the soul of the mystic is a dancing soul. It has realized that inner law. It has fathomed that mystery for which souls long and in the joy of that mystery the whole life of the mystic becomes a mystery. You may see the mystic twenty times a day, and twenty times he will have a different expression. Every time his mood is different; and yet his outward mood may not at all be his inner mood. The mystic is an example of God's mystery in the form of man.
The fifth form in which a person who lives the inner life appears is a strange form, a form which very few people can understand. He puts on the mask of innocence outwardly to such an extent that those who do not understand may easily consider him unbalanced, peculiar, or strange. He does not mind about it, for the reason that it is only his shield. If he were to admit before humanity the power that he has, thousands of people would go after him, and he would not have one moment to live his inner life. The enormous power that he possesses governs inwardly lands and countries, controlling them and keeping them safe from disasters such as floods and plagues, and also wars; keeping harmony in the country or in the place in which he lives. All this is done by his silence, by his constant realization of the inner life. To a person who lacks deep insight he will seem a strange being. In the language of the East he is called Majzub. That same idea was known to the ancient Greeks and traces of it are still in existence in some places, but mostly in the East. There are souls to be found today in the East, living in this garb of a self-realized man who shows no trace outwardly of philosophy or mysticism or religion, or any particular morals. And yet, his presence is a battery of power, his glance most inspiring, there is a commanding expression in his looks; and if he ever speaks, his word is the promise of God. What he says is truth; but he rarely speaks a word, it is difficult to get a word out of him; but once he has spoken, what he says is done.
There is no end to the variety of the outward appearance of spiritual souls in life; but at the same time there is no better way of living in this world and yet living the inner life than being oneself, outwardly and inwardly. Whatever be one's profession, work, or part in the outer life, to perform it sincerely and truthfully, to fulfill one's mission in the outer life thoroughly; at the same time keeping the inner realization that the outer life, whatever be one's occupation, should reflect the inner realization of truth.
