Q: Unable to detect the URI-scheme of "urltest" error Python I am getting the error when trying to open a url I obtained from reading data from a .txt file in python using match.group(). This is my code below for where the error comes up. Any help as too how this can be corrected would be very much appreciated.
with open('output.txt') as f:
        for line in f:
            match = re.search("(?P<url>https?://docs.google.com/file[^\s]+)", line)
            if match is not None:
                urltest = match.group()
print urltest

    print "[*] Opening Map in the web browser..."
    kml_url = "urltest"

    try:
        webbrowser.get().open_new_tab(kml_url)

A: Since you have not provided what you are trying to parse I can only guess but this should pretty much work for your url:
>>> import re
>>> match = re.search('(?P<url>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/file[a-zA-z0-9-]*)', 'https://docs.google.com/fileCharWithnumbers123')
>>> match.group("url")
'https://docs.google.com/fileCharWithnumbers123'


As we begin to consider the second half of verse 5 "for they shall inherit the earth," we need to remember that Jesus did not speak the eight statements of blessing as if they were warm and fuzzy sayings that would delight the people who were gathered around Him. Each of the eight statements was a direct confrontation against the beliefs of the Pharisees.
The words of Jesus were a challenge to the false religion that the Jews had created. These words penetrated to the heart. He was delivering a wake-up call to people who were sleeping in the cozy comfort of their religious system. He was threatening to turn their belief system up-side-down. This excited many people, but made many others squirm under the truth that He taught.
Blessings or Curses – There are No Other Options!
The Jews who listened to the Sermon that Jesus spoke were filled with religious pride. They claimed the blessings based on their genealogy and not on having a heart that was right with God. They claimed righteousness based on compliance with a set of extra-biblical laws they had created. They added to God's law, and then judged themselves according to the religious system they had created. Based on their own analysis, the Pharisees, who considered themselves to be the most righteous, were blessed. They would have seen the Gentiles as being cursed. They understood themselves to be God's chosen people, and as such, they should be privileged and blessed.
Let's begin looking more closely at the phrase "inherit the earth." In the Old Testament, the word "inherit" is commonly paired with either "earth" or "land." There is a long standing promise in scripture that God will greatly multiply the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and give them an inheritance of land that will be taken from their enemies.
Genesis 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
In the Old Testament, God commanded the Jews to make Him the center point of their lives. He expects us to do the same. This expectation has never changed and will not change in the future.
The Jews sometimes obeyed, but most of the time they worshipped other Gods, while trying to cling to their inheritance that was given to their fathers by God. They seemed to cherish the land more than they cherished the God who gave it to them. The following verses describe how God spoke to the 10 tribes of the northern kingdom of Israel through the words of His prophet Amos.
Amos 2:6 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes; 7 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name: 8 And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god. 9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath. 10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. 11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD. 12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not. 13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
Amos 3:1 Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, 2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. 3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Amos 5:22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. 23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. 24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. 25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? 26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. 27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.
Throughout the generations, from the time Joshua lead the tribes of Israel into the land that God had designated for them, to the many warnings given by the prophets concerning God's displeasure regarding their worshiping of other gods, the Jews made their inheritance into an idol. They defended the land and died for the land. They refused to believe that their sin would cause God to remove them from the land, despite all the warnings of the prophets. Even after the Babylonian exile and the occupation of Israel by the Roman Empire, they longed for the restoration of the land. For them, the promise of a messiah was a promise to establish a political earthly kingdom and restore the land of Israel to their control. For them the inheritance meant security. The land meant much more than a place to live. It was the center point of their religious, economic, and political system. They longed to see the day that Ezekiel described.
Ezekiel 39:26 They shall forget their shame, and all the treachery they have practiced against me, when they live securely in their land with no one to make them afraid.
After God promised Abraham that his seed would receive an inheritance of land, and after Moses had led the people of Israel in the wilderness for 40 years, there was a day when God required the Jews to make a commitment to Him and His ways. This is what God said to His people just before He would allow Joshua to lead the people across the Jordan River into the land of promise.
Exodus 23:23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off. 24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. 25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. 26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. 27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. 28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. 29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee. 30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land. 31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee. 32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee. 24:1 And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off. 2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him. 3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do.
Please notice in the preceding verse that God clearly expressed his expectations regarding the exclusive relationship that He wished to have with the descendants of Jacob. Also notice that the people said that they accepted God's conditions. Sadly, scripture records the breaking of this promise over and over again. God warned the people about His pending judgment against the people and the land they occupied through the words of the prophets, but they would not listen or obey. They refused to be corrected and they refused to repent, and they were cursed by God. We would like to think that there is a middle ground where we can live that is between the blessing and the curses of God. I am unaware of any safe city of refuge where we can hide while we decide whether we will listen to and obey the voice of God. We, just like the Jews of the Old Testament must decide whether we will choose life and blessing or choose death and cursing. Their inheritance did not protect them from the consequences of their behavior.
The Jews were free to choose whether they would be fully committed to God and to receive His blessing or to go after other gods and be cursed. We face the same choice today. It is a conscious choice to obey God and receive His blessings. If we do not obey His commandments, then we will live in rebellion, be cursed, and be cut off from God's blessings.
It is through meekness that we learn about daily submission to God and we receive God's blessing. His blessing includes the kingdom of God, His comforting, and the inheritance of the Earth. Those who are not blessed will be cursed – there is no neutral position with respect to God.
The Jews were not unusual in their attachment to land. Throughout history, land has been the foundation of economic, political, and family life. Even today, many people will gladly fight and die for their homeland regardless of the nation where they live. Ownership of land is associated with security. In an agriculturally based economy, land is required for food and literal survival. Without access to land, people would starve. Thus, it is a natural desire of parents to give human prosperity and physical security to their children through the inheritance of land.
In the specific case of the Jews, the promise of land was not just the giving of physical acreage, but a qualitative blessing. It was to be a land of milk and honey – a place of prosperity and abundance.
The land was also to be a place of rest from persecution. It was intended to be a safe haven where the people could live a structured and secure life with God as the focal point.
Deuteronomy 12:10 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety; 11 Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD: 12 And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you. 13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest: 14 But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
Despite the positive proclamation of Moses, we see that the Jews did not wholly follow the LORD their God after they took possession of the land. Instead, Israel played the harlot and went whoring after many other gods. Even though the Jews broke their commitment to God, they expected Him to bless them and honor His commitment to them regarding their inheritance. They believed that no matter what they did, the land would always be theirs. They repeatedly stumble over keeping the commandments of God, yet, they expected that the land would be a perpetual inheritance without conditions.
God blesses those who follow His commandments and He curses those who refuse to submit and obey. The blessings are conditional. Submission and obedience are required of those whom God blesses.
Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. 3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field… 13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: 14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. 15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: 16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. 17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. 18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 20 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. 21 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
Let's look more closely at the word "earth." The Greek word that has been translated "earth" in this verse, simply means the whole earth – all the land that there is. In modern language we might capitalize earth to refer to the entire planet. Jesus was not limiting the inheritance to the land of Israel, but extending it to include all the land on the Earth.
Why would the words of Jesus "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth" be a challenge to many in the crowd who were listening to His sermon? What were they hoping to hear? Perhaps it was something such as, "Blessed are the Jews — God's chosen people — for I am about to restore the land of Israel to you." Instead, He linked the character of a person to the inheritance of the land. He connected brokenness, mourning over sin, and meekness to the possession of the earth. He said that it is the meek who will have an inheritance and that their inheritance will be not only the land of Israel, but will be the entire Earth.
Jesus was reaching out to the meek. He was looking for people who were willing to repent and submit to God. He was looking for people who were teachable and correctable. We don't know what was in the minds of the Jews and specifically the Pharisees who listened to Jesus as He spoke from the mount. How did they feel about the principle that Jesus was teaching – the meek shall be blessed? Did the Pharisees see themselves as meek? Did the Jewish population of Israel perceive themselves as being meek? Did they think that they were correctable and teachable? Let's look and see how scripture answers these questions.
In the next passage, we read Stephen's final remarks, which were spoken to the Pharisees when he addressed their sins. How would you rate the meekness of the Jews?
Did John the Baptist believe that the Jewish leaders were teachable and submissive to the law? Were they meek?
What did Jesus think about the Jewish leaders who opposed His teaching? Did they have submissive and meek hearts?
Were the Pharisees and other Jewish leaders meek? Were they teachable? We will let Jesus give His final answer to this question.
Matthew 22:34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. 43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? 46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
The Pharisees were full of pride. The Jews were proud of their heritage as sons of Abraham. They had pride and confidence in the inheritance, and believed the land was theirs no matter what they did and how they lived. Jesus did not reassure them that they will have the land restored to them. Instead, He said that the meek shall have an inheritance of land and it will be the entire earth – the whole thing — all the land there is. Jesus said it would be the meek that would have an inheritance and not the proud and arrogant Jews, whom He silenced with His teaching.
When I did word studies for this verse "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth," I found a large number of related verses that used the same words, but which also linked these words with other central Christian themes. As I meditated on these verses, I began to notice the interconnected relationships. Meekness, for example stands in very close relationship to other key words such as righteousness and holiness. The word earth is linked to the spreading of God's kingdom into every corner of the world. The Earth is not just an expanse of dirt and rock, dotted with lakes and bounded by oceans. It is a place for displaying the glory of God. The Earth is a place where all people shall know that there is one and only one true God, and He shall be placed above all others.
The following scriptures speak about land, earth, inheritance, and God's dominion. I encourage you to read the verses slowly and to ask the Holy Spirit to enrich your understanding regarding the relationship between "the meek" and "the earth." You might wish to write down your observations for each verse.
Psalm 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. 11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Psalm 37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. 28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. 30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. 31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
1 Kings 8:60 That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else. 61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
1 Chronicles 16:29 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. 31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth. 32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein. 33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth. 34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. 35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise. 36 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.
Psalm 46:8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. 9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. 10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. 8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it. 9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth? 11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
Isaiah 45:20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. 21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
The Old Testament presents types and shadows of things that will be brought to fruition in the New Covenant of the New Testament. In the language of the New Testament, Jesus promises all true Christians a spiritual inheritance, which is eternal life with Him in the kingdom of God. Those who are in the kingdom of God as it exists upon the Earth will be the ones who are led by the Holy Spirit to carry the Gospel message to the entire Earth, and in doing so, will bring glory to the one true God. In the New Testament, the land and the earth represent all the land that exists – the whole planet. The kingdom of God exists on the Earth today, and it will exist in its full and complete form when Jesus returns. The kingdom of God is spreading throughout the Earth. Each time another person is converted, the kingdom of God expands a little further on the Earth.
What do you learn about inheritance, Earth, and the kingdom of God when you read the following verses?
1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
The inheritance that true Christians receive is not physical, but spiritual. We receive a new life when we are converted and yield control over our lives to God. When we have the Holy Spirit, we can submit to God's correction. When we submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit, we become meek. Those who are meek will be teachable and will seek to be sanctified. Meekness prepares us for receiving our inheritance.
Galatians 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Our inheritance is not measured in acres of land, but is given to us in the form of responsibility and opportunity. The meek are responsible to go out into the world (Earth) and share the good news. The Earth and lost souls are our inheritance. Our inheritance is the fulfillment of the Great Commission. The meek are to go out into all the world and to baptize the newly converted in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Our inheritance is the Word of God and the responsibility to those who are being saved. We are responsible to walk beside those who are being saved and to teach them the commandments of Jesus.
When the Jews stood on the banks of the Jordan River and were about to cross over, they had to have faith that God would deliver the land into their possession. God said that he would drive out the inhabitants of the land over time so that the land would not be left fallow. At that time, the land was occupied by people who did not know the great Jehovah God. They worshipped a variety of idols, and were ultimately submitted to the demonic power of Satan. God drove out the idolaters as He increased the Israelites' possession of the land.
Today, Christians are in a similar situation. The land is occupied by many demonic forces which operate under the authority and control of Satan. When we spread the Gospel and the kingdom of God is expanded through new conversions, Satan is being driven back. God does not drive Satan off the entire land all at once, but step by step so that the land can be occupied by Christians. Again I am not speaking of literal land, but the clash between two kingdoms.
The land that Satan occupies is the hearts, minds, and wills of the lost. He must be driven out so that the Holy Spirit can enter. This is not a passive process. It requires aggression, and sometimes the battle for a soul is a violent clash between spiritual kingdoms.
Once Satan is driven out of our minds, hearts, and wills, we still must pay close attention to Satan's influence over our flesh. Since we are creatures who are connected to the physical world through our physical bodies, Satan uses the proximity of our flesh to try to control our thinking, feeling, and willing. The Holy Spirit dwells in us and strengthens us in our battle with the flesh and with Satan. But, our cooperation with the leadership of the Holy Spirit is required. The process of sanctification fortifies us against the attacks of Satan waged through our flesh.
A meek spirit, a gentle spirit, and a quiet spirit are needed so that we can be teachable. Without the Holy Spirit, we cannot become meek and we will not be able to fulfill the Great Commission and inherit the Earth.
Cleanse my heart and mind of anything that prevents me from being meek.
Fill me with the presence of the Holy Spirit and help me listen to Him.
Grant me the gift of repentance to turn away from the lies I believe, which are keeping me stuck in my sins.
Please give me the privilege of going out among broken and lost people and to help set the captives free by doing what Jesus did. Help me follow Him, heal the broken hearted, and spread the true Gospel to the ends of the earth.


It's wonderful to see you, your brother and parents after 30+ years. I left the Bayside area just after your baptism. It warms my heart to see you and your brother at the temple with the missionaries. I still remember knocking on your parents door Elaine answering and letting and Elder Crandall and I in to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ. What a great example of faithfulness you and your family are. May God continue to bless you and your great family.
Oh my gosh, Elder Rowland!! How are you? My mom still talks about you and wonders how you are doing. Would you mind sending me an email at: jenemcfadden@gmail.com please?
Hi Elder Rowland, it's so nice to hear from you! I hope you are doing well.

[POLL] Guilt by association is the rule at many high schools
NOTE: This article is reprinted from my new column on parenting in politics on examiner.com:
Guilt-by-association may not be a valid way of judging someone's guilt or innocence, but it's fast becoming the new policy at high schools across the country. Officially referred to as "constructive possession" in athletic or student handbooks, it means students who attend a party where drugs, alcohol or — in some cases — steroids are being used by others, can earn the same penalties whether or not they participate.
In a court of law, "constructive possession" exists where a person has knowledge of an object plus the ability to control the object, even if the person has no physical contact with it (United States v. Derose, 74 F.3d 1177 [11th Cir. 1996]). One example is a person arrested for a jewel heist who doesn't have the gems on his person at the time of the arrest but the police have evidence he stashed it in another location. Since high schools aren't courts of law, they have simplified the definition to apply to students who don't leave an event where other students are caught drinking or doing drugs.
In May, Mansfield High School in Massachusetts announced they were adding the constructive possession rule to their handbook for the 2012-2013 school year. According to Jeff Sullivan'sarticle in the MansfieldPatch, Mansfield High School assistant principal Dawn Stockwell says the goal of the new "constructive possession" rule is "to stop our students from going to illegalunderage drinking parties, period."
However, Mansfield High is not the only school district to add this to the handbook. Individual school districts in many states have had a "constructive possession" rule for years, including Colorado, Washington, Maryland, New Jersey and several more in Massachusetts. Braintree, Massachusetts' school district has one in their athletic handbook. Salem, Massachusetts, America's original witch-hunt capital, one-ups Mansfield in their 2011-2012 Student-Parent Handbook, which states the school's administration will not only penalize a student, they'll report any knowledge of a student's "constructive possession" of drugs or alcohol to the Salem Police.
Where the rule exists, lawsuits for wrongful application follow. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) challenged the Baltimore County school district in 2005 on behalf of a group of students from Dulaney High School. Their suit was dismissed. Dulaney High's current Athletic Policy Statement still requires the athletes to pledge that they "will not be in attendance or participate in any environment where underage or illegal use of prohibited substances is involved."
The concept of broadening the rules to penalize students who are sober raises three concerns.
First, this new rule is in direct opposition to the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Chemical Health rules which state, "This MIAA statewide minimum standard is not intended to render 'guilty by association', e.g. many [sic] studentathletes might be present at a party where only a few violate this standard." There are similar clauses in other state athletic association's handbooks.
Second, if the sober students are required to depart a party as soon as they observe alcohol or drug use, who's driving the inebriated students home? Are these new rules removing the designated driver from the scene?
And third, if the sober students leave, who's left in charge to call for emergency help when one of the imbibing students falls, or exceeds the threshold for alcohol poisoning, or becomes violent?
In our effort to control and protect minors from temptation, are we robbing the "good" students – those who don't break the rules – of the essential opportunity to learn responsibility by acting responsibly?
To find out if your local school has a "constructive possession" or guilt-by-association clause in their student or athletic handbook, call your school district's office before the new school year begins.

Title: 'The Bridge' : how 'The Penguin New Writing' (1940-1950) shaped twentieth-century responses to China
Author: Moore, T.
Awarding Body: University of Westminster
Current Institution: University of Westminster
This thesis examines the short stories about China by Chinese and British writers published in the journal The Penguin New Writing (1940-1950). The writers were responding to a traumatic period in history spanning part of the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II and its aftermath. TPNW, promoted contemporary writing from around the world and was open both to well-established and little-known writers. Penguin Books' founder, Allen Lane, backed the journal which had a circulation of 100,000 at its peak and established John Lehmann as one of the finest literary editors of wartime Britain. To date, there has been scant critical analysis of Lehmann's international venture, and none at all of his interest in modern Chinese literature. Yet his political, aesthetic and personal approach to China provides a fascinating study of the ways in which those on the British Left sought to increase sympathy for the country and its people and how Lehmann redrew representations of the country for his Anglophone readers. This thesis benefited significantly from a dissertation fellowship to visit Lehmann's editorial archive at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, Texas, where a wealth of previously unseen correspondence between the editor and his Chinese and British writers was discovered. These letters enabled the piecing together of a narrative about Sino-British literary crossings in the 1940s, as well as a reappraisal of neglected Chinese writers Ye Junjian and Kenneth Lo among others. During the decade of TPNW's existence attitudes towards the Chinese in Britain, particularly on the British Left, became increasingly sympathetic and this thesis evaluates Lehmann's contribution to 'the vogue' for Chinese stories in the mid 1940s. In this heyday for Chinese writers, they sought to push against established Sinophobic stereotypes but as this thesis concludes, there remained limits to British interest in the plight of the Chinese people.

The new report out of the Congressional Budget Office confirms what Republicans have said all along: Raising the minimum wage could cost hundreds of thousands of jobs. The debate over this cause and effect has caused legislators to stall any minimum wage acts which in turn caused the President to sign an executive order requiring federal contractors to begin paying at least $10.10 an hour. Howie asked will the minimum wage hike damage the economy.

Q: keeping localStorage objects that iterate whilst using clear() within the same function I'm trying to clear all local storage when the user either completes the game loop or starts a new game, but also keep some values.
I can do this already with my sound values for volume:
// inside a conditional statement that fires when the user chooses to start a new game.
if (newGameBool === '1') {
    var tst = myAu;
//myAu is the stored value that the user sets as sound using a range type input

    localStorage.clear();

    localStorage.setItem("Au", tst);//A newly cleared localStorage just got a new value, and it's the same as it was before.

    UI.myLoad();//reload the function that uses LS to do things.

}

How do I do this for key's that have an iterating number attached to them?
Here is how I save them:
var i = +v + +1;

localStorage.setItem("v", i);

var vv = localStorage.getItem("v");

localStorage.setItem("LdrBrd_" + vv, JSON.stringify(LdrBrd));//saves all data with the iterating key name.

Calling them the way i did the sound function:
var gv = v + 1;//v calls the value from LS and adjusted for off-by-one error.  gv is a local variable.
if (newGameBool === '1') {
    var ldd, vg;

    for (var ii = 0; ii < gv; ii++) {
        var ld = localStorage.getItem("LdrBrd_" + ii);
        if (ld != null) {
        //these are the values that i want to pass beyond the clear point
            ldd = JSON.parse(ld);//JSON string of data saved
            vg = ii;//how many of them.
        }

    }

    localStorage.clear();

    for (var xx = 0; xx < vg; xx++) {
        var nld = localStorage.getItem("LdrBrd_" + xx);
        if (nld != null) {
           localStorage.setItem("LdrBrd_" + ii, JSON.stringify(ldd));
        }
    }
    localStorage.setItem("v", vg);

    UI.myLoad();

}

I have been using console.log() in various spots to see what is going on.  I comment-out the clear function just to see if the values were wrong and they don't save all all.  I tried to make a fiddle, but the local storage wasn't working at all there.  In visual studio, it works fine but the script to this file is almost 2000 lines long, so i tried to dress it up the best i knew how.
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.

A: I was stuck on this for a few days, but i think i found something that will work, so i'll answer my own question in case there is value in posterity.
locatStorage.clear();
/*  ^LS clear() function is above all new setItem codes, some variables are declared globally and some are declared at the top of the functional scope or as param^  */
var itemClass = document.querySelectorAll(".itemClass");//the strings are here

if (itemClass) {//make sure some exist
    for (var p = 0; p < itemClass.length; p++) {//count them
        mdd = JSON.parse(itemClass[p].innerText);//parse the data for saving

        localStorage.setItem("v", v);//this is the LS item that saves the amount of items i have, it's declared at the top of the functions timeline.
        localStorage.setItem("LdrBrd_" + p, JSON.stringify(mdd));//this setItem function will repeat and increment with 'p' and assign the right string back to the key name it had before.
    }
}

The key is to keep the strings physically attached to an element, then call the class name. The i ran a loop counting them.  'mdd' will spit back each item i want.  So then all that is left to do is re-set the item back to it's original status.
This has allowed me to create a way for my users to collect trophies and keep them even after clearing the localStorage when the he/she decides to start a new game.
I use CSS to hide the text from the string.
color:transparent;

In my gameLoop, i have a function that will read the saved strings and show them as cards just below the hidden strings.

A: Since you want to keep some values I recommend one of two things:

*

*Don't call localStorage.clear() and instead only wipe out the values that you want using localStorage.removeItem('itemName').  Since you said the item names have a numeric component, maybe you can do this in a loop to reduce code.

*Pull item(s) that you want saved first and restore them after calling clear().  This option is best if there are way more items that you want removed rather than saved (see below)

function mostlyClear() {
    var saveMe = {};
    saveMe['value1'] = localStorage.getItem('value1');
    saveMe['anotherValue'] = localStorage.getItem('anotherValue');
    localStorage.clear();
    for(var prop in saveMe) {
        if(!saveMe.hasOwnProperty(prop)) continue;

        localStorage.setItem(prop, saveMe[prop]);
    }
}

WingDust Wednesday: "Imagine Me n' You"
WingDust "Imagine Me n' You" - A periwinkle base is filled with lime green hexes, dots, and squares, green holographic dots, lilac hexes and dots in a couple of sizes, fuchsia hexes and small dots, light pink holographic dots, pale aqua dots, and a whole bunch of silver shimmer. At first I was concerned because my bottle had quite a bit of glitter stuck on the inside of the bottle wall, but once I applied my first coat I could tell that there is plenty of glitter incorporated in the crelly base. I used three thin coats plus top coat for these pictures, but I think you could easily do two thicker coats.
I absolutely love this combination of pastels and neons. This polish just looks like springtime in a bottle. Even Mr. Iced Lacquer said "It looks like a polish you'd wear on Easter." when I showed it to him. As always, the base is both beautifully opaque but also transparent enough to not totally smother the glitter.
Currently, this polish is only available on Rainbow Connection, but I believe it's going to be released soon as part of a spring collection. I'll make sure to update this post when I know more! You can buy WingDust polishes HERE on Etsy as well as from several other international stockists. Also be sure to follow on Facebook HERE for updates about restocks and new colors.
WingDust Wednesday means you should go check out another WingDust post by Courtney of Swatcher, Polish-Ranger as well as @lacquershine on Instagram! Today is especially fantastic as all three of us (without planning to) featured the same polish! Nail triplets, what what!

In February, 2013, I wrote a letter to Mr. David Sheley, a volunteer with the Patrick County Genealogy Society, in fact their vice president, I believe. I was asking him for help with a "brick wall" I had hit in my research into the parents of my great grandfather Walter Thomas Houchins. As expected and agreed upon, Mr. Sheley published my query in the Enterprise, the local newspaper, to see what others might offer. I never did find out for sure, the name of my gg grandfather, but I kind of forgot, because I found about 30 other cousins–actually living! there were Spanglers , Harbours, Lawsons, ,Belchers, Pilsons, Dillons, Price, West, and many more! I was overwhelmed with friendliness and connections!
My maternal grandmother was Katherine Steptoe Houchins, born 1883 in Patrick County Virginia. She was the daughter of Evalina Howell Langhorne and Walter Thomas Houchins. Grandma Kate as we called her, was the oldest of seven children born to this couple. Unfortunately,, Evalina was going blind like her father and many others in the family. The blindness we have always been told was glaucoma which ran strongly in the family, I am now told it might have been retinitis pigmentosa. In 1900, Evalina died in childbirth carrying twins, the story of which I told in an earlier blog post. (see the genealogy category to find it) Fifteen when she married, Evalina was only 34 at her death with six living children, ranging in age from 3 to 16. Walter Thomas remarried Lena Elliott and had two more children with her. Unfortunately, he deserted the six living children of his first family.
As I worked at my research on my mother's family, of course, I realized that my great grandmother, Evalyna Langhorne was one of 8 natural children, and two adopted children of James Steptoe and his wife Elizabeth Rachel Omohundro Langhorne. Further study helped me realize that Evalyna's sister Fannie had married Wallace Wolford Spangler, making their son Charles Langhorne "Tump" Spangler, my first cousin. I had grown up knowing of Tump Spangler, the Virginia state legislator, one of our famous cousins! And his brother Babe, known as the Virginia Fiddler, who I heard play on television in Richmond as a child. However, for whatever reason, I had never met them! Then I received a phone call from Harvie Spangler, Tump and Kittie Cockram's son, and my second cousin! He told me many Langhorne stories, some of which I've already written about, and breathed life into what had previously only been names on a piece of paper! Suddenly James Steptoe Langhorne became Grandpa Steptoe. I never even knew he was blind, as was my great grandmother Evalina losing her sight just before she died. I only knew that one of her sons, my great Uncle Harry Langhorne Houchins was blind. As it turns out, there were ten or fifteen members of the family affected by this disease.
Talking with Harvie Langhorne Spangler was like opening a flood gate! Before long he was inviting me to meet my cousins at the Spangler family reunion! I was thrilled. I do want to say, that at least five family members called me due to that article in the paper. I'm writing here about the Spanglers, Langhornes and Cockrams, because that is the reunion I just went to. But I was thrilled to meet Patsy Dillon Reyes, Betty Pilson, Alpha Hiatt, Beverly Belcher Woody, Betty Lawson Lawless, and Patty Lawson Kiser, Allen DeHart in my own backyard, and many more as the weeks went on. My family tree has grown by 500 names probably since I wrote that letter! I figured there are 56 living descendants of my great grandmother Evalina, and I really wanted them all to join me! Of course, that would have made it a Langhorne reunion, not a Spangler one! So, I hope we will do that in the future, for now I am meeting the family and enjoying the area! But never far from my thoughts is the idea of getting all of my cousins, from California, Oklahoma, Illinois, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, and North Carolina together with as many other cousins related to the Langhornes as possible!
James Steptoe Langhorne and his wife Elizabeth Rachel Omohundro were the head of the Meadows of Dan branch of my family, but their daughter Fannie Langhorne Spangler with her husband Wallace Wolford Spangler were leaders of that area in their own family. As far as our relationship to each other, and to the Langhornes, the Spangler's come down from Fannie, I and 56 currently living cousins come down from her sister Evalina.
Evaline Langhorne (1866-1900) m. W.Thomas Houchins, had 9 children, 6 lived to maturity.
Ernest Lindsey (adopted grandson, son of Mary) Langhorne (1879-1953) m. Mary S. Blackard, and had 8 children.
My own g. grandmother was Evalina, usually called Evelyn Howell Langhorne who married Walter Thomas Houchins.
Of these seven children, only 3 had issue. Julia had one son, Guy a son and a famous daughter, and Katherine (Kate) had seven children, six girls and one boy who drowned at age eight. Now of course there are grandchildren and great grandchildren, numbering 56 direct decendants living at this date, and I know of one on the way. My mother was Margaret Steptoe Kerse, daughter of Katherine Steptoe Houchins Kerse,daughter of Evalina Langhorne, sister of Fannie Langhorne Spangler, both daughters of James Steptoe Langhorne—and thus we relate and descend!

Robin Hood he would and to fair Nottingham, With the general for to dine; There was he ware of fifteen forresters, And a drinking bear, ale, and wine.
Robin Hood he bent up a noble bow, And a broad arrow he let flye, He hit the mark a hundred rod, And he caused a hart to dy.
Some said hee brake ribs one or two, And some said hee brake three; The arrow within the hart would not abide, But it glanced in two or three.
Robin Hood hee took up his noble bow, And his broad arrows all amain, And Robin Hood he laught, and begun to smile, As hee went over the plain.
Then Robin Hood hee bent his noble bow, And his broad arrows he let flye, Till fourteen of these fifteen forresters Vpon the ground did lye.
He that did this quarrel first begin Went tripping over the plain; But Robin Hood he bent his noble bow, And hee fetcht him back again.
'You said I was no archer,' said Robin Hood, 'But say so now again;' With that he sent another arrow That split his head in twain.
The people that lived in fair Nottingham Came runing out amain, Supposing to have taken bold Robin Hood, With the forresters that were slain.
Some lost legs, and some lost arms, And some did lose their blood, But Robin Hood hee took up his noble bow, And is gone to the merry green wood.
They carryed these forresters into fair Nottingham, As many there did know; They digd them graves in their church-yard, And they buried them all a row.


think about who was supposed to walk me down the aisle next week. I'll have to ignore the lump in my throat. I mustn't think about how proud he'd be, and when I dance with my mother I can't think about how we would have danced to "My Girl." We never said that would be our song, but I know it would have been. I mustn't think about it though. If I do, I'll surely lose it. I'll have to ignore how much his brothers do and do not resemble him and the fact that there is a seat missing at their table. I'll not stare too long at the pictures in the slide show or the memory table that will have his happy face in a frame along side Raphael's mother's.
It's supposed to be one of the happiest days of my life after all and the memory of my father will already be making most of the traditions bitter sweet. So, I'm trying to get out all of these thoughts out now, in fact, I've already cried about it and again right now. I just don't want to feel sorry for myself on the day of. I'll continue to repeat Scarlett O'Hara's mantra, "I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow."
At least I'll have my mother there, who in many ways acted a father's role, so I'll take pride and courage in that.
The memory table is such a nice way to honor your father.
And if you do cry on your big day, I don't think it's a bad thing at all. There is no shame in crying (I told my husband that he needed to pack a whole bunch of kleenex in his tuxedo jacket since I wouldn't have a place to put any).
I cannot think of a greater gift to your father's legacy than to have a daughter as awesome as yourself. I have no doubt he is truly proud and I like to think he'll be there on the day, cheering you on.
Don't fear about shedding a tear for him -- I think that's wonderful. I hope someone sheds a tear for me some day in remembrance, too, because then I will have touched someone in this life, and I consider that successful.
Awwww.... It is definitely okay to cry now and even on the day of your wedding. It is the greatest things about love and sharing love. The happy times mixed with sad times just reminds you what pure joy is.
I hope that you have the wedding of your dreams next week.
My heart goes out to you. My sister got married a few years after our father died and it was really hard for both of us.
Just remember it's okay to cry and it will be a happy day even if you do.
He will surely be looking down on you as a proud father that day!
What makes you so sure he would be happy with this guy you are marrying?
I understand. There is no shame in crying.
Your dad would be so proud of the woman you have turned out to be and of the choice you have made in a man.
Tara, this is a very touching post. I will have a similarly difficult time when I get married next year, thinking about my stepdad.
Do what you need to do to get through it. I'm sure your dad would be so incredibly proud of all that you have accomplished and of the beautiful bride you will be.
Tara, just think, that Dad will be watching you through my eyes. I am very proud to be walking you down the aisle and Dad will be there in spirit!
My brother got married last week, and the bride's mother passed away in May 2008. She was definitely in our thoughts. Your dad will be there with you in spirit, and being really happy for your and Raphael. And on your wedding day, you are allowed to cry as much as you want! Just bring lots of tissues and make sure everyone has some just in case.I forgot to give them out to them!

Hotel was amazing especially the view overlooking town. Staff were friendly and hospitable. Breakfast was super tasty home cooked dishes. Will never hesitate to visit Amber again.
The staff were amazing. They were very helpful in suggesting the tours during our 3nights stay. Great views where we can see the hot air balloons in the morning.

'We're here to stay,' say EU migrant workers as Tories look to end freedom of movement
Nick Clark spoke to migrant workers about how they're organising to defend their freedom of movement
Published Tue 24 Jan 2017
Bosses bring down wages not migrant workers (Pic: Guy Smallman)
European migrants living in Britain have spoken out after Tory prime minister Theresa May announced plans to end freedom of movement.
May's plans—announced in a speech on leaving the European Union (EU) last week—would make it harder for EU migrants to live and work in Britain.
Now some EU migrants have told Socialist Worker what they fear could happen if May gets her way—and how we can defend free movement.
Ulrike Schmidt from Walthamstow, east London, is originally from Germany but has been living in Britain for 28 years. She said the threats to end free movement made her feel "deeply distressed and anxious".
She said, "I've been teaching here for 23 years and engaged in the community and in the multicultural society I believed in.
"Now they raise all these plans like they only want EU migrants who earn a certain amount. Well I only earn £18,000 a year.
"Or we have to get private health insurance. I can't get private health insurance—just forget it. Or things like employers should have to pay £1,000 to have a migrant worker."
She added, "All this makes me feel deeply distressed and anxious. I could go back to Germany, but I'm not employable there anymore. All the qualifications I have are from here."
Threats to end free movement have made Ulrike feel "deeply distressed and anxious"
Ulrike explained that the effect of ending free movement would be harder on some EU migrants—such as Roma people—than on others.
She said, "People from the Roma communities can't just go back. The Roma are escaping unfair discrimination.
"In other European countries Roma children are regularly put in schools for children with learning difficulties. When they get to Britain they make spectacular progress in British schools."
She added that there needed to be "mass demonstrations" to defend freedom of movement.
"I'm going to help organise a bloc of migrants on the Stand Up To Racism demonstration on Saturday 18 March—EU workers here to stay."
Andrei Dudau, a Romanian food worker from Poole in Dorset is also worried about what ending freedom of movement could mean. He's also deeply angry—and after 14 years in Britain is considering leaving.
He said, "A couple of years ago I would wonder about whether I needed citizenship. I always thought I'd spend the money on something else instead.
"A colleague at work told me I'll always be an immigrant, even if I've got citizenship. So I'll put two fingers up and go. There are 27 other states I can go to.
"The only thing keeping me here in the first place is the fact that I have a steady job. But as soon as the company says, we have to let you go—that will be the time to leave. I don't want to be a second class citizen here."
Andrei questioned those trade unionists calling for work permits for migrant workers
'On a work visa you're basically a slave'
One form of scapegoating, used to justify ending freedom of movement, says that migrants are a drain on public services.
A similar argument is that workers from the EU "undercut" British-born workers. Unfortunately some on the left and in the trade unions have accepted parts of this argument.
But as London hotel worker Rafel Sanchis, originally from País Valencia, explained, many industries depend on migrant workers. He said, "There's a lot of EU migrants in my sector.
"We always talk about how difficult it would be to run our sector without EU migrants. It's the same in health, transport and cleaning."
And Andre said, "I've been here for 14 years and paying taxes. Where did I contribute more—Romania or here? How do I put a strain on the economy?"
Andrei had been a rep in the Unite union, but said he had stopped because of other trade unionists' support for ending freedom of movement.
He said, "How can you call yourself a trade unionist or an internationalist when you're saying you want people to come on a work permit? Do you know what a work permit implies?
"On a work visa you're basically a slave to the company because the visa depends on your employment. So you can't just leave the job if your rights are broken. You have to do what the company tells you to or they'll put you back on the plane.
"I've seen cases like that. That's what the work permit means."
The way to stop bosses driving down wages and conditions is to unite to fight them
"You have to say, everyone who wants to come here and participate is welcome," argued Rafel
Rafel said, "You have to say, everyone who wants to come here and participate is welcome. Everyone—from one continent to another—are the people who are working hard.
"We have to take part in any campaign. Join a union and support your colleagues. Support refugees and people from other unions fighting to make ends meet."
Don't be divided by Tory racism after Brexit
Like many EU migrants, Ulrike and Andrei wanted a Remain result in the EU referendum—and say they have seen a rise in racism since the vote.
Ulrike said, "There's hostility directed towards migrants. I've been fighting racism all my life. Now it hits me deeply inside and I find it very difficult.
"There's been a lot of Islamophobia and a lot of racist abuse."
And Andre said, "It's the whole political climate. I've visited Christchurch a few times for holidays over the past few years and never had any issues.
"But last year I felt that because I was speaking a foreign language with my partner everyone was looking at me."
But Andre also blames the right wing media and Theresa May for scapegoating migrants. "I've got so tired of Theresa May," he said.
"She will always use whatever means she can to shift the blame. Now it's immigrants.
We're the scapegoats for everything that's bad".
Rafel also blamed May for encouraging racism.
He said, "She's also encouraging the racists in Britain. That's a bit scary.
"As a migrant in hospitality you can see some of the customers treat you differently. And there's been the rise in racist attacks.
"Not everyone who voted to Leave is a racist. But the way the politicians talk encourages some people."

Q: Proper datetime attribute for  While Schema.org writes

Here is an example: <time itemprop="openingHours" datetime="Tu,Th 16:00-20:00">Tuesdays and Thursdays 4-8pm</time>.

on the HTML5 validator I get this error:

Bad value Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr 09:00-16:00 for attribute datetime on
  element time: The literal did not satisfy the time-datetime format.
…" datetime="Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr 09:00-16:00">every work day 9am to 16pm </time></li>

I really want to communicate the opening hours (and days) in Microdata, but it seems this is in conflict with HTML5.
Is there a format that is good for both or I should keep it for the bots and care not about valid HTML in this case?

A: Don't use the time element.
It's an error with Schema.org's documentation. I reported this issue in the Schema.org tracker and it will likely be fixed in the next release.
Possible alternatives:

*

*data element:
<data itemprop="openingHours" value="Tu,Th 16:00-20:00">Tuesdays and Thursdays 4-8pm</data>

*meta element (which can be used in the body):
<meta itemprop="openingHours" content="Tu,Th 16:00-20:00"> Tuesdays and Thursdays 4-8pm

A: I would suggest to keep what you have and not worry about the HTML validator which is only a guide at any rate.

Confidence in the US Supreme Court is declining, and that puts its decisions at risk from Congress
Recent years have seen a marked decline in public support for major US political institutions, and the Supreme Court has not been immune from this trend. Michael J. Nelson and Alicia Uribe-McGuire write that this falling support could threaten the nation's highest court, as legislators may have less of an electoral penalty from voters if they attack the Court. Studying Congressional lawmaking, they find that Congress is more than twice as likely to overturn a Supreme Court decision when public support for the Court is at its nadir compared to its highest level.
Nearly every day, we are reminded that Americans' support for their political institutions is in sharp decline. A majority of Americans do not approve of the actions of the current president, and even more are dissatisfied with Congress. The US Supreme Court has not been immune to this crisis of confidence; Gallup reported in July that only 37 percent of Americans have either "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of faith in the nation's highest court.
Figure 1 – Confidence in the American Federal Government
Note: Lines show the percentage of Americans who report having "Hardly Any" (rather than "Only Some" or "A Great Deal") of confidence in each institution of the government. Data come from the General Social Survey.
These trends are not new. Figure 1 shows the percentage of Americans reporting "Hardly Any" confidence in each of the three branches of the federal government. These percentages come from the General Social Survey, a high-quality, nationally representative survey of the American people that has asked Americans their views about politics and government since the early 1970's. Current confidence in Congress is lower than at any point in the past quarter-century, and the percent of Americans dissatisfied with each branch of the federal government has trended upward after an all-time low following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Scholars have long known that public support has important implications for politics and government. Because the judiciary lacks both the power of the purse and the sword, it is uniquely dependent on public support; its decisions are more likely to be accepted and implemented when it is supported by the public. Similarly, it is more likely to be attacked by other branches of government when its public support is low.
We believe public support has an additional consequence: it affects policy change. Just as public support assists courts in the process of obtaining compliance with their decisions from other branches of government, it might also protect judicial decisions from nullification from these branches. In other words, just as the public's satisfaction with the Court can reduce the extent to which Congress attacks the Court as an institution, it might also protect the Court's decisions, stopping Congress from passing laws that override them.
Why would this work? Studies of legislative-judicial relations around the world have suggested that legislators are reluctant to attack popular courts because of the electoral connection binding legislators and constituents. When legislators attack popular courts, the argument goes, the public will rally to the judiciary's defense, withholding their vote at the next election from those legislators who attacked the court.
And it does work. We studied the propensity of the US Congress to pass laws overturning US Supreme Court decisions. We thought that Congress would be strategic, waiting for an "opportunity" to strike out against the Court. If that is the case, Congress should be more likely to overturn US Supreme Court decisions when the Court's public support is low. We tested this theory with a statistical analysis of congressional behavior between 1973 and 2010. During this time, Congress passed laws nullifying Supreme Court decisions 244 times. To measure the Court's public support, we used the GSS survey data shown in Figure 1.
"The Entire World Is Crying, Supreme Court news conference to call for the reversal of President Trump's travel ban on refugees and immigrants from several Middle East countries" by Lorie Shaull is licensed under CC BY SA 2.0
Our results show that the Court's public support has a strong relationship with congressional action. The likelihood that Congress will overturn a given judicial decision increases by 109 percent as the Court's public support changes from the lowest level we observe to the highest level in our data. This is a powerful role for public support to play!
Public support, of course, is not the only factor that predicts congressional overrides, and we predicted that the electoral calendar would also predict them. It does: Congressional overrides are 256 percent more likely in election years than in years in which Congress does not stand for election.
Perhaps most surprisingly, we find this evidence in the absence of a relationship between the level of ideological disagreement between Congress and the Court in its decision to override a given decision. This is somewhat puzzling, but it demonstrates the multifaceted process underlying congressional decision-making. Congress may want to overturn a given Supreme Court decision, but the internal politics of the institution, coupled with the public's varying support for any given decision, make ideological disagreement an underwhelming factor in predicting congressional action.
Our results underscore the importance of the public for a well-functioning judiciary. Not only is the public's support essential for the Court to achieve initial compliance with its decision, but continued high levels of public support help those decisions stay on the books. In an era in which confidence in the Court is on the decline, we predict a period of marked instability in American judicial politics and policy.

Our café has been running since March, and the people who come love it. But the core group are folks who already knew JF&CS through other programs or who are the adventuresome types! And they are wonderful, but it's been difficult to bring in a wider circle of guests. I'd really like to reach people who are more isolated and most need to connect with others through a café. So far, I've been reaching out to providers, support group facilitators, etc,, and also trying to spread the word through cable TV shows and local papers, where I can describe the café in greater detail.
- Have you found any great approaches for getting the word out?
- How long did it take for your café to establish solid attendance, and how many guests do you usually get?
I just wanted to add that here in the San Francisco Bay Area we get a lot of referrals to our cafes from social workers at memory diagnostic centers. If you live in a more rural area, try connecting with any physicians offices where cognitive diagnoses are being made.
We have been running for about 3 years and attendance ranges from 10-20, with an average of 14-18 I'd say. We have found that you have to market the cafes constantly since attendees may stop attending because it's no longer a good fit. Some of our best efforts have been partnering with our Aging and Disability Resource Centers and the Alzheimer's Association. They gladly share about our memory cafes. We also have had a few newspaper articles and most recently, a news segment on our memory cafes.
I've tried mailngs to churches, agencies, small ads in our senior news, a few articles in our paper, posters in the libraries and senior residences. We're getting just a few at each session. This is enough to keep us going but it is frustrating. Fortunately ours isn't a numbers game. Hang in there. We've been open for 8 months. Tomorrow I'm going to make a pitch at a meeting sponsored by the local Alzheimer's Assn.


GPI Leadership Kicks Off 50 Charitable Acts – GPI | Greenman-Pedersen, Inc.

I'm sure that you've heard by now, but GPI is turning 50 years old this year (Happy Birthday to us!) This is not only an amazing milestone for any business, but especially one in the engineering industry. In addition to our branch-planned fun-filled festivities, we have decided to commemorate this achievement by sharing our good fortune with our communities, namely by performing 50 Acts of Kindness throughout 2016. This focus is above and beyond what our branch offices do on a regular basis (of which we are extremely proud).
I wanted to share one of our first events held on March 17, 2016. At the conclusion of our recent Branch Manager's Meeting, GPI's Senior Management Team donated their time to visit the Florida's Hospital for Children in Orlando, Florida. We visited 100 out of the 180 patients in the hospital (the other 80 were in NICU and couldn't take visitors) and brought each of them a $25 Amazon Gift Card with a special note from GPI. We broke up into small groups and were chaperoned by the hospital's Child Life Specialists (see photo) to visit and chat with the kids, who ranged from newborn (spoke with the parents) to 20 years old. What an amazing experience! I just want to say thanks to all of our Branch Managers who participated. It just goes to show you that GPI is an exceptional and unique company!


Taqueria La Ventana is opening a new location on Cedar Springs.
The former Cafe Brasil on Cedar Springs is about to get new life as the fifth location of taco franchise Taqueria La Ventana, "an authentic Mexico City taqueria designed with eclectic, funky interiors and fused with a modern Texas sensibility," according to a press release. The 1,653-square-foot taqueria with a 1,200-square-foot patio, at 3847 Cedar Springs Road, will serve the restaurant's familiar 10 meat and veggie tacos, burritos, bowls and salads, along with Mexican beer and margaritas.
If there's one genre of food we don't have in spades around here, it's British pub food. British chef Nick Barclay is hoping to change that with Fish & Fizz, his take on a fish and chip joint, CultureMap reports. The Richardson seafood-centric spot will also serve "English dishes like bangers and mash and Cornish pasties," according to CultureMap. "The fizz part refers to beverages, all of which will sparkle, including Champagne, sparkling wines, Prosecco, craft beer and soft drinks." The restaurant is slated to open in the spring.
According to a tiny mention at the end of a recent Dallas Morning News update about new developments in Bishop Arts, the newspaper confirms a rumor the neighborhood has long been hoping is true: Central Market is opening a grocery store in the trendy retail district. All these new developments under construction will significantly increase population density in Bishop Arts, on nearby Zang Boulevard and in a currently quiet stretch of land between Bishop Arts and Jefferson Boulevard. The neighborhood has been abuzz about new potential grocery options ever since word spread last summer that H-E-B had bought land in the area. It's no H-E-B Plus, but in a neighborhood with so few grocery options, every little bit helps.
"Fort Worth's cowboy chef, Grady Spears, will debut a new concept called Graze, focused on sweet and savory chicken & biscuits and other comfort foods.
"Inspired by their west side restaurant Tokyo Café, owners Jarry & Mary Ho and chef Kevin Martinez will open a fresh sushi concept at the food hall.
"Press Waffle Co., owned by brothers Bryan and Caleb Lewis, will feature housemade authentic Belgian waffles and locally roasted coffee.
"Former Texas Christian University football star David Hawthorne will open Not Just Q, a from-scratch barbecue-and-more spot."
The 16,000-square-foot food hall will also feature a full bar and seating for approximately 70 people outside. It will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The West Seventh development is slated to open sometime this year.
Shell Shack is expanding into Denton, according to a press release. The DFW seafood joint, which opened its first location in Uptown in 2013, is opening its sixth location this spring in the old Dani Rae's Gulf Coast Kitchen at 2303 S. Interstate 35E with a remodeled 3,500-square-foot space with a full bar.

Soccer fan pleads guilty to assaulting player after game
A soccer fan pleaded guilty on Thursday to assaulting Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp at the end of the team's Championship playoff game against Nottingham Forest.
Robert Biggs, a 30-year-old season-ticket holder at Forest, ran onto the field after Tuesday's game at the City Ground and headbutted Sharp to the ground near the touchline. Sharp, who did not play in the match because of injury and was standing with his hands in his pockets, required four stitches to a wound on his lip.
Biggs appeared at a hearing at Nottingham Magistrates' Court and admitted to the offense, which was described by prosecutors as a "deliberate and senseless act of violence."
During the hearing, Biggs was told that a separate charge of illegally entering the playing surface had been dropped. He did not oppose an application for a banning order from soccer matches.
Forest already said whoever attacked Sharp would be banned for life.
The incident took place after supporters poured onto the field after Forest won 5-4 in a penalty shootout. The teams drew 3-3 on aggregate after two legs.
Sharp, a former Forest player, wrote on Twitter on Wednesday that "one mindless idiot ruined what was an unbelievable night of football."
"As an ex-Forest player I will not let one scumbag ruin my respect for the Forest fans," he said.
Forest will play Huddersfield in the playoff final on May 29, with the winner earning a promotion to the English Premier League.

A lane or two of Highway 395 in Minden will be closed overnight Thursday for overhead traffic sign work.
The closure will take place between Buckeye Road and Esmeralda Avenue starting at about 7 p.m. Thursday and wrapping up 6 a.m. Friday.
A minimum of one lane in each direction will always remain open, according to state transportation spokeswoman Meg Ragonese. The work is being conducted during overnight hours to reduce impact to commute traffic.
State road conditions, updates and information are available at http://www.nevadadot.com or by dialing 775-888-7000.
Meanwhile, due to recent precipitation, dirt roads in the Eldorado National Forest will remain closed until April 15.
"My goal is to open these roads to the public as soon as possible," said Forest Supervisor Laurence Crabtree. "However, more precipitation than usual occurred in the month of March. Most of the roads are still under snow which will be melting now that it is getting warmer. Some roads could still be damaged."
The seasonal closure is designed to protect roadbeds and watersheds from damage and to protect water quality. A minimum three-month closure period from Jan. 1 through March 31 was designated for the core part of the wet season in the Eldorado National Forest Travel Management Plan. This plan also allows the seasonal dirt road closure to start earlier or be extended based on actual conditions in a given year.
Roads subject to seasonal closure are identified on a map that is available free at all Eldorado National Forest offices and on the web at: http://www.fs.usda.gov/eldorado. The seasonal closure does not affect routes in the Rock Creek Area near Georgetown, which has its own route closure process.
When the roads open, there will still be wet areas at higher elevations for some time. Many routes change in elevation over several miles. Visitors are encouraged to be aware of changes in the conditions of the roads they are using, and to adjust travel plans when they reach a wet section as they will be responsible for any resource damage caused by inappropriate use.

[ASC-media] Is your treatment working? Cancer scanner pinpoints	dividing lung cancer cells
Niall Byrne niall at scienceinpublic.com.au

A team of Victorian researchers have discovered how to track if lung tumours respond during a course of treatment.
Trials with five patients revealed that some tumours responded quickly to treatment while others continued to grow. A larger trial is now underway with twenty patients.
The new technique could transform lung cancer treatment.
"At present there is no reliable way of monitoring the effectiveness of therapy in killing lung cancer cells during treatment," says Sarah Everitt, the lead investigator for the study, a PhD student in medical imaging & radiation sciences at Monash University, and a radiation therapist at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
"We hope this information will assist us to tailor treatment according to each individual patient."
"It's also important because, if only a few cells survive of the millions that make up a tumour, then we have failed to cure the patient."
The study used a combined PET/CT scanner (positron emission tomography/computed tomography) scanner and a novel radioactive tracer called FLT or in full…18F-3′-deoxy-3′-fluoro-l-thymidine. FLT targets cells that are rapidly dividing. Once injected, it can highlight cancers that appear not to be responding to therapy. "At present, there is no other imaging method that can achieve this," says Sarah.
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in Australia. The typical time of survival of patients after diagnosis is less than two years, so improved treatments are needed.
"If we observe a particularly aggressive tumour that grows rapidly during treatment, we can adapt treatment delivery based on the individual's response. This might mean administering the treatment more quickly, or giving a higher radiation dose. Overall, we hope this will improve outcomes and survival of patients with lung cancer and possibly patients with other cancers," says Sarah.
"These scans may also provide us with information that suggests some cancers are not responding to therapy. These patients could then be switched to a different treatment without delay."
The results have also demonstrated how bone marrow behaves during radiation treatment. "One can easily see that bone marrow is extremely sensitive to radiation. Changes are observed after only one day's therapy in a course of six weeks. Because bone marrow produces blood cells, the FLT PET scans could be highly valuable in monitoring patients having large areas of their body irradiated. There may also other scope for these scans, such as monitoring the effects of accidental radiation exposure".
Sarah and her colleagues at Peter Mac, including Associate Professors Michael Mac Manus and David Ball, Professors Rod Hicks and Tomas Kron, and Dr Michal Schneider-Kolsky from Monash University, have now been granted $250,000 by the Victorian Cancer Agency to continue this study.
Sarah Everitt is one of 15 early-career scientists presenting their research to the public for the first time thanks to Fresh Science, a national program sponsored by the Federal Government.
