Can You Praise Me, Now?
For I am the LORD, I change not (Malachi 3:6 KJV).
Praise, like water cascading over a mountainside, spews forth in times of prosperity and victory. Yet, it is the disciplined mind focused amid conflict, disruption, and affliction that is able to sing the praises of Him Who has called us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. This distinction separates the seasoned from the novice.
It is a lesson not easily learned. But, once learned the benefits are unforgettable.
Paul and Silas knew the secret. They sang at midnight while in prison! Although the enemy had disrupted their lives, he had not stolen their peace!
In 2004, I had a physical problem that just wouldn't go away. No one knew exactly what it was. Poison Ivy? Poison Sumac? Poison Oak? Whatever it was nothing worked on it!
It consumed my every thought.
Nothing I tried helped. And believe me, I tried several remedies. I went so far as to try a home remedy. No. Vinegar didn't work. Yes, I smelled like pickles.
It seemed like the more I prayed the worse it became.
Now, we all know a battle easily won is not always remembered. But a battle of attrition will eventually bring you to the end of yourself. And guess what. That's where you'll find God waiting.
In my affliction, God was teaching me something—and giving me something.
At that point, I was willing to try anything! I began to praise Him while still on the floor. Then something arose inside of me as memories of His faithfulness rolled through my mind. No longer was I focused on my problems, but on the One Who could change my circumstance.
The itching and the pain eased. It wasn't too long after that every sign was gone.
As His child, God directs my steps.
I will yield to His hands.
I will claim His Word.
I will cling and declare His promises.
I will not accept defeat!
I will think on His past faithfulness.
For by His grace, I will finish this race victoriously!

Maths and maps make you nervous? It could be in your genes
by Henry Duru Saturday, March 11, 2017
Our genes play a significant role in how anxious we feel when faced with spatial and mathematical tasks, such as reading a map or solving a geometry problem, according to a new study by researchers from King's College London.
Spatial skills are important in everyday life, from navigation to assembling flat-pack furniture, and have also been linked to success in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) professions. However, people differ considerably in these skills and researchers think it could be partly down to anxiety. Similarly, anxiety about maths is thought to impair achievement in the subject at school and deter people from using these skills in daily life.
Looking at the genetic and environmental factors underlying anxiety is a necessary first step in identifying specific genes which make some people more anxious than others. If genes and environments contributing to one form of anxiety, such as spatial anxiety, are different from those contributing to another form of anxiety, such as mathematics anxiety, this suggests they should be managed differently in order for interventions to be successful.
In the study, published in Scientific Reports, researchers measured anxiety in a sample of more than 1,400 twin pairs aged 19 to 21 from the Twins Early Development Study (TEDS).
The researchers identified several different forms of anxiety: general; mathematics; and for spatial anxiety: navigation and rotation/visualisation.
All forms of anxiety showed a substantial genetic component, with DNA explaining over a third of the differences between people. Non-shared environments were found to explain the rest of the differences between people in spatial anxiety, which are environments that twins raised in the same family do not share, such as different extra-curricular activities, teachers and friends. For instance, non-shared environments such as driving, cycling or playing computer games may be particularly relevant to spatial anxiety.
The study also showed that people who are anxious about navigation are not necessarily anxious about rotation/visualisation tasks, such as completing a complex jigsaw puzzle. The same was found for mathematics and general anxiety, showing that those who experience spatial anxiety do not necessarily tend to be generally anxious or experience anxiety towards other STEM-related activities such as mathematics.
The researchers also found a small but significant gender difference in their sample, with women showing higher levels of anxiety than men across all areas. The study authors say this could be due to women being more willing to disclose their feelings of anxiety, or anxiety caused by the stereotype that STEM subjects are 'for men.'
Margherita Malanchini from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London, said: 'Our results have important implications for finding specific genes which contribute to differences in anxiety between people, as they suggest that some of the same genes contribute to anxiety in several areas, but that most of them are specific to each domain of anxiety.
'Pinpointing specific genes for anxiety could help in identifying children who are most at risk from very early in their lives, and subsequently to intervene and prevent the development of anxiety in these different contexts. For example, for children at a greater genetic risk of mathematics anxiety, interventions aimed at enhancing motivation and providing positive feedback may help with reducing anxiety and increasing performance in this area.'

"The regime and its backers must stop their military campaign in all its forms to allow the UN-led political process to have a chance to succeed", USA ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said in a statement.
The White House said in a statement that President Donald Trump was monitoring the situation in the rebel-held Idlib province, where it said millions of innocent civilians are under threat of an attack by Assad's government.
Rebel-backer Turkey has held several rounds of talks with regime ally Russian Federation aimed at averting an assault on Idlib, but Moscow dubbed the region a "pocket of terrorism". "The Russians and Iranians would be making a grave humanitarian mistake to take part in this potential human tragedy", Mr. Trump tweeted. "Let us be clear, it remains our firm stance that if President Bashar al-Assad chooses to again use chemical weapons, the United States and its Allies will respond swiftly and appropriately", the statement read.
Syrian state media and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that pro-government forces focused their shelling overnight and on Wednesday on the western and southern edges of the rebel enclave.
A Syrian man rides a motorcycle past a destroyed building in an area that was hit by a reported airstrike in the district of Jisr al-Shughur, in the Idlib province, September 4, 2018.
On Tuesday the United Nations special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, said panic was spreading among the 3 million citizens of Idlib province as he suggested the Assad government and its allies had set 10 September as the date for a full-scale bombardment of the last large rebel enclave. Hundreds of thousands of people could be killed.
Tuesday's bombardment hit several areas held by the jihadist-led Hayat Tahrir al-Sham alliance, among them the town of Jisr al-Shughur, but also areas held by rival Turkish-backed rebels, according to Agence France-Presse.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also told Reuters that the situation in Idlib is of ongoing concern for Russian Federation.
Cavusoglu said a common strategy was required to eliminate terrorist groups in Idlib but the continuation of attacks could be disastrous.
He said Turkey has conveyed to Russian Federation its condemnation of the recent attack in Syria's Idlib. "We appeal for sanity". De Mistura, whose years of efforts to push forward a Syrian peace deal have achieved no breakthroughs, insisted that he would pursue his efforts to set up a committee to write a new Syrian constitution. "It is going to be a moment of truth", he said.
DeChambeau, who started the year at No. 99 in the world, moved past Rory McIlroy to No. 7. Thomas Bjorn will reveal all four of his wildcard picks on Wednesday, September 5.
Ujczo said the "real test" of the president's trade policy lies not with Trump but rather with his base of support. Canada, however, maintained that it would sign a deal that is good for its people.
The Kirin 980 can apparently recognise up to 4,600 images per minute, which is up 120 per cent compared to Kirin 970. The phone is powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 710 SoC and it ships with Artificial Intelligent (AI) features as well.

The U.S. -Mexico agreement stipulates a 16-year NAFTA that would be reviewed and possibly extended every six years. The White House said Mr Trump will sign the deal in 90 days. "Without Canada there can be no new "NAFTA" deal".

Q: Docker build on top existing docker image I have a nodejs app wrapped in a docker image. Whenever I do any change in the code, even adding few console.logs, I need to rebuild the whole image, a long process of over 10 minutes, during the CI process.
Is there a way to build one image on top of another, say adding only the delta?
Thanks
EDIT in response to @The Fool comment
I'm running the CI using aws tools, mainly CodeBuild. I can use the latest docker image I created (all are stored in aws ecr) and build based on it, would it know to take only the delta even if it conflicts with the new code?
Following is my Dockerfile:
FROM node:15.3.0

RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app

WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY package.json /usr/src/app

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y  build-essential libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev librsvg2-dev
RUN npm install

COPY . /usr/src/app

EXPOSE 3000

CMD bash -c "npm run sequelize db:migrate&&npm run sequelize db:seed:all&&npm run prod"

Environ is the best topical vitamin treatment system in the world.
A vitamin A deficiency could lead to skin abnormalities such as pigmentation irregularities, sun damage, ageing, and skin cancer. The most common skin care problem in both men and women is sun damage, and the long-term effects of sun exposure are sinister. In order for us to combat this sun-induced vitamin-A deficiency, we must replenish vitamin A in our cells every day and for this process to be effective, we need to restore our vitamin A receptors within the skin.
The Powder Room will analyze your skin in person using tools and touch – this cannot be done effectively over the internet. Your personal treatment plan will reverse and prevent signs of an unbalanced and aging skin.

Bridge View
This image appeared in the Indianapolis Star on Sunday, August 8 1909 as part of the paper's coverage of preparations for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's first motorized race meets - one for motorcycles, the other automobiles. The motorcycles were scheduled to start August 13 and the cars August 19.
The image was part of a montage of pictures that included a shot of the track's suspension bridge. The bridge was used for race fans to cross the track from the outside to the infield. It was located at the head of the front stretch exiting the northwest turn (turn four) in the approximate location of the tunnel under the track near gate 7 today.
This image is the view spectators got looking down the front stretch to the southwest trurn (turn 1). On the right are the grandstands - the only such seating at the track at the time. To the inside are the pits and judges' stand.
Check an image of another bridge that was constructed for automobile traffic for the 1910 season.

Note: the photos are not in any order and do not line up with the text!
We are all set to go on our big hike. 20 days on the John Muir Trail, well away from civilization. We have done the two food drops. Tomorrow we are on a train and bus into Yosemite with our packs loaded with our usual gear and all our food in bear canisters. Lots of bears on the JMT! The food drops have been an expedition on their own.
We won't have internet for a while. I expect we can do email from Reds Meadow about the 16th and at Vermillion resort about 20th (they have satellite link $5 for 30min). After that it will be from the end at Lone Pine.
From Lone Pine we are catching a bus to Reno where we have left the rest of our luggage at the Comfort Inn motel.
We were sad to hand the Cadillac back to the hire company today. It has been a very comfortable companion. We clocked up over 4000 miles in it in the last few weeks. Glad we had unlimited miles and fuel at $4 a gallon. Never cost more than $50 to fill which got us about 500 miles down the road. It's not quite as clean as when we picked it up.
We have made it to Reds Meadow near Mammoth Lakes OK. Bit tired, Pauline has sore feet and started out with a head cold which has almost cleared. My plan of 10 miles a day turns out to be a bit ambitious in this terrain.
The first day out from Yosemite the Rangers force you to stop at Little Yosemite valley which is only a couple of hours walk from Yosemite. This put us most of a day behind. If I had known that no one checks I would have ignored this. We tried to climb half dome but had to give it a miss as a thunderstorm was coming in. High places and steel climbing rails in a storm don't mix. The rangers were all bailing out!
Today we are off towards vermillion resort on lake Thomas Edison where our next food drop is waiting. Should take us about 4 days. They have internet access on satellite for a fee! Might even take a day off.
We made it to Vermillion Resort on lake Thomas Edison Ok. Pauline has smartened her act up and is now managing 10 miles per day. Her cold has cleared up and she has gotten used to the altitude. The trail has also improved a lot. We are told that it gets harder again from here on. So we will see how we go.
We have met people that are doing 20 miles a day. Dawn till dusk, way too far for us.
We saw another bear in the wild. I walked up to about 10m from him/her before we both saw each other. The bear ran up the hill while we madly tried to film it. It stopped about 50m away and began eating grubs from a stump. We spent a good 10 mins filming it. Pauline got some great video of it all.
We met a ranger the next day and let her know. Apparently it's the first real sighting in the area this season. There were two others, but these were where the dumb hikers had hung their rubbish in a tree. The bears can smell this sort of thing from miles away. Dumb!
Last night we slept near Silver pass at 3200m, it got well below freezing. You don't actually notice it as it is so dry there is no frost or dew. Glad we got new Western Mountaineering sleeping bags.
The weather is predicting snow in the mountains in a couple of days. Its a bit vague actually where. We will play it as it comes. If there is too much snow we will bail out.
We left Vermillion Resort and hiked back to the JMT with our food drop all loaded up, about 11 days food. It's the heaviest packs we have ever carried. The food is all crammed into two bear canisters which weigh over a kilo each and are really awkward to pack around. My pack was around 32lb, Pauline had 28lb.
Now that we have talked to a number of other hikers we know that we could have done more food drops, though not strictly legitimate. The rangers have all gone home anyway. The govt has cut their funding so it's a short season for them.
The second day we met up with a few other hikers that we have been leapfrogging for a few days. We all crossed Selden Pass (10880ft) together. We left them at Sallie Keyes lakes as they were going fishing.
Camped the following night in Evolution Valley. The snow that had been forecast finally appeared. We had gusty winds and about 2cm of small corn snow overnight. The next day was back to normal Sierra Nevada weather, blue sky's, no wind. So we are still going.
We had our coldest night so far, camped just below Muir Pass at 11955ft. No wind, clear skies! Much harder walking as the snow is still on the ground and has turned to ice on the track, very slippery.
We are finally out of the woods and camping in a motel in Lone Pine. Off on the bus to Reno on Monday to pick up the rest of our gear.
The last few days have been some of the hardest miles we have ever done. Lots of big climbs and descents. The trail has been much rockier, with huge steps, so much slower going. It is also the most beautiful, with the Ray Lakes area the pick of them all.
The weather has been getting rapidly colder. Three nights ago the tent was frozen inside and out by 5pm. We hadn't even gotten in to it. We think it got down to -10 overnight. We now know the signs, very high cloud by lunchtime and a pickup in the wind, usually means snow by nightfall.
Forgot to mention we saw a Californian Long Horn sheep near Ray Lakes, apparently they are quite rare to see. Photo below is from a long way off.

Covid Edinburgh: Bar manager hits out at Covid rules after boarding 'crammed' train
Plamen Penchev, who runs Rat Pack Piano Bar in Edinburgh, took some time off work to visit Penrith, England, for a short holiday.
After boarding a train at Edinburgh Waverely on Sunday, he said he was horrified to find no spare seats and passengers sitting on the floor next to toilet facilities throughout the service.
Trains between Glasgow and Edinburgh via Falkirk cancelled due to fight between …
Speaking to Edinburgh Evening News, the 37-year-old said: "I couldn't believe how crammed the train was.
"Being someone who works in hospitality and who has been fighting to keep business going since Covid times, this sight was just incredibly frustrating.
"There was absolutely no sign of any physical distancing, people were crammed together and there were no windows open for any ventilation.
"How train companies are able to get away with this while the hospitality sector is struggling like I have never seen before is just incredibly disappointing.
Pictures showing the inside of the train that Mr Penchev was on. In his photos he avoided capturing passengers' faces, but he said there were many sitting on the floor and all the seats were full, so he had to stand for most of the journey.
"I am so disappointed in this country."
The bar manager, who has worked in the hospitality sector for about two decades, said his journey highlighted how "unfair" the Scottish Government has been on the hospitality sector.
"There needs to be one rule for everyone," he said.
"It's unfair that some companies in the UK are able to stay open later, have more people inside, while in Scotland we are still so restricted.
"The industry is in a shocking state, and seeing all these people on the train just made me think what is this government doing to support the hospitality industry? It's a joke. Why are we so restricted still when this lack of physical distancing is clearly happening?
"I don't mind the rules, the table service, but when you see sights like this with all these people close together it's incredibly frustrating that we as an industry are still having to be so strict."
Mr Penchev was on a Transpennine express service from Edinburgh to Manchester.
A Scottish Government spokesman said: "As the First Minister has made clear, decisions are based on the latest data available in Scotland. We do not want to keep restrictions in place a minute longer than is necessary, but when changes are made they reflect the situation in Scotland, not elsewhere.
"We fully understand the challenges facing the hospitality sector as we look to balance measures to suppress the virus and protect lives, with keeping businesses open and trading viably. Scottish businesses have directly benefitted from £3.6 billion in support – more than a third of the total COVID-19 funding – and we have provided targeted support when localised restrictions are put in place.
A spokesman for TransPennine Express said: "We are really sorry that some of our customers had a disappointing experience travelling on our services this weekend.
"We have restricted the amount of advanced tickets that we sell to enable social distancing on our services and our conductors make regular announcements around social distancing and wearing face coverings, unless customers are exempt.
"We'd advise that our customers do book in advance on board our services and try and travel at quieter times on the network."

Tai Fung bank closes at 5pm, leaving you with only the ATM machine and money changers if you arrive late.
For the ATM machine, the minimum commission you need to pay is 1.6%, plus any bank and ATM charges. There may also be "advances" and other hidden charges that your home bank may charge you, especially if you use a credit card. Unless you don't mind spending lots of money, do your homework.
You can try money changers, but if you are changing anything other than Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi, you may be in for a shock. The last time I tried changing Singapore money, they took an 8% commission. However, they may charge only around 1% commission for the former 2 currencies.
A frequent traveler's tip is to change your money into Hong Kong dollars and spend it as equal to Patacas. But beware that you are paying 3% more. It all adds up if you go shopping or visit a hotel.
If you are a budget traveller like me, go ahead and change it to Patacas. Just change any remainder back again before you leave or you may be stuck with them for good.

The life and times of a kid just figuring it out
The Gentlemen Review
*What a ride
IMDB Synopsis
Mickey Pearson is an American expatriate who became rich by building a marijuana empire in London. When word gets out that he's looking to cash out of the business, it soon triggers an array of plots and schemes from those who want his fortune.
Woah, buddy was that a good time! Guy Ritchie is someone when you go in the theater more likely than not you are going to enjoy yourself. Even his paycheck movie with last years Aladdin still had a lot of exciting scenes and moments that reminded you it was a Ritchie movie. However, for The Gentlemen he has gone back to his roots of Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch with a crime comedy that I want to watch again with subtitles, because of how quick the British humor was.
The Gentlemen tells the story of Mickey Pearson and his cannabis operation and a lot of surrounding connected stories. We have Hugh Grant's Fletcher narrating the story to Raymond (Charlie Hunnam), Mickey's Right Hand and trying to blackmail him. We have Henry Golding and Jeremy Strongs character's scheming against them, and Colin Farrell's coach just kind of helping everyone along the way.
The plot is littered with Ritchies trademark wit and humor even if he gets a little to self indulgent at times. I also thought telling the story in the non linear way that he did really gave him a chance to flex his muscles and show that he is a craftsman.
Stock Neutral – Matthew McConaughey
What I thought was hilarious about this character was he did not even try and pretend to do a British accent. They made him an American and it worked because he is McConaughey. He had his drawl going and was as charming as ever as the boss in this movie.
Stock Up – Hugh Grant
This guy really just pops up every few years on screen nowadays and just blows you away every time. A couple of years ago he played a fantastic villain in Paddington 2 (Juice Rating 95/100) and now he gives an unbelievable turn in this as a pseudo villain/semi idiot. I loved everything he was doing in this from his rapid fire dialogue to his wild physical comedy, he really looked like he was loving every second of it.
Stock Neutral – Charlie Hunnam
He basically played a British version of his Sons of Anarchy character, which I am not mad at. But I do not think it moved him forward like his role in The Lost City of Z. The steaks he cooked though looked absolutely dreadful and should not have been served.
Stock Up – Guy Ritchie
As I have stated numerous times he is fully back. His career has been so up and down, but you cannot say he does not take chances, with Sherlock Holmes movies, Man from U.N.C.L.E, and King Arthur movies to his name. This type of movie is his bread and butter though and he knocked it out of the park with both his writing and directing. I hope he makes 100 more movies like this.
Stock Up – Colin Farrell
He has been cranking out a ton of movies recently including an interesting turn in Dumbo last year. In this role he is the Coach who runs an MMA gym, but also has to help the gang in numerous ways due to extenuating circumstances. He was the MVP of this movie and made me laugh every time he opened his mouth. I am so excited to see him as Penguin in the new Batman movie.
Who's That Guy/Gal?
Eddie Marsan – 126 IMDB Acting Credits
Eddie has been doing a ton of character work in movies recently but I would bet most know him as Ray Donovan's brother. He plays Big Dave in this which is ironic because he is quite small, but I just wanted more scenes with him. He is really only used as a table setter and thats it.
*A couple other tidbits
Henry Golding was fine in his smaller role but I wanted more from him.
There is an extreme amount of cockney curse words in this just fair warning.
Jeremy Strong chewed on all of the scenery.
I respect Christopher Benstead, I wish the score was a bit better than it was. I thought it could have really pushed the movie to another level.
Sometimes you just want to go and have fun at the movies and Guy Ritchie delivered another exciting adventure for us to enjoy. It may be crass at times and overly quippy but man did I not find myself smiling pretty much the entire time.

400 Jewish Leaders Going to Capital to Confer with Officials About Leningrad 11
See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date
Protests by American Jewry against the arrests of Soviet Jews and this month's trial and sentencing of nine of them will peak here tomorrow when 400 Jewish leaders converge on the State Department, Capitol Hill, the Department of Justice, several foreign embassies and perhaps the White House. The "National Emergency Conference on Soviet Jewry" is being coordinated by the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. They will seek American and foreign commitments to work for the repeal of the two death sentences and nine prison terms meted out to Soviet Jews and non-Jews accused of an attempted plane hijacking. The Jewish leaders will be addressed in plenary session by former ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg, labor leader George Meany, playwright Arthur Miller, civil rights activist Bayard Rostin, political scientist Hans J. Morgenthau, Dr. John Brooke Mosely Jr., president of the Union Theological Seminary and others.
It was observed here that in its adherence to its oft-proclaimed preference for "quiet diplomacy" in delicate international matters, the United States has in this sizzling issue indicated its efforts only after other countries had publicly declared theirs–and then only vaguely and reluctantly. State Department spokesman Robert J. McCloskey would say yesterday only that "In light of the severity of the sentences handed down at the trial, this matter has received serious consideration in Washington," and that "We have taken steps which we hope will be helpful." In addition to Britain, France and the Vatican, public protests have been made by West Germany, Denmark, Norway, Australia and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Rep. Joseph G. Minish, the New Jersey Democrat who on Nov. 16 became the first Congressman to denounce the current Soviet trials, has collected 47 Congressional signatures on an appeal to Soviet Ambassador Anatoly F. Dobrynin that he "utilize the power of your office" to reverse last week's sentences in Leningrad."
"To penalize them by life imprisonment or death for their (emigration) activities would be a travesty of justice," the appeal declared, noting that the case "hinges on the fact they wanted to leave the Soviet system" for Israel. The House-based petition was also signed by Democratic Sen. Harrison A. Williams Jr. of Rep. Minish's state; New Jersey's other Senator, Republican Clifford P. Case, said he preferred to endorse a similar petition being circulated in the upper house by Sen. Birch Bayh of Indiana. The signers of the Minish text include James H. Scheuer, Emanuel Celler, Allard K. Lowenstein, Bertram L. Podell and Mario Biaggi of New York; Joshua Eilberg of Pennsylvania; Abner J. Mikva of Illinois, and Mrs. Patsy T. Mink of Hawaii. Five Senators called yesterday for action by the Nixon administration. They were Birch Bayh of Indiana, Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts and Abraham A. Ribicoff of Connecticut, Democrats, and Jacob K. Javits of New York and Robert Dole of Kansas, Republicans. Bayh noted that other countries had already made public statements.

American Authors are Counting Down to Release of New EP
Karen Benardello
The cover for American Authors' upcoming alternative EP, 'Counting Down.'
Alternative band American Authors has announced their forthcoming EP, 'Counting Down,' is set to be released on September 18 via Island Records, the EP serves as a follow up to last year's full-length album, 'Seasons,' and features previously released singles 'Microphone' and 'Best I Can.'
While talking about the new EP, American Author's vocalist-guitarist, Zac Barnett said, "'The Counting Down' EP started as a batch of songs written for fun following the release of 'Seasons.' We spent four days in Nashville before a show and knocked out the songs you hear here."
Soon after releasing 'Seasons,' their third full-length record, the members of American Authors were struck with a surge of inspiration. The four-piece band, which is rounded out by guitarist-keyboardist James Shelley, bassist Dave Rublin and drummer Matt Sanchez, rented an Airbnb in Nashville for a few days with the intention of writing new material. The result is 'Counting Down,' although Barnett noted that the group wasn't actually setting out to make a new record.
"At the time," he explains, "we weren't thinking about this as a collection of songs, because it fell so close after releasing the album. We were just writing to write, and that's what was really fun about these songs. But coming right after an album, there were no limits on what this was. We were just writing from the heart."
'Counting Down' begins with 'Brick By Brick,' a high-octane, uplifting track that defies the doubts of its lyric to start the EP with a powerful jolt of defiance. Recorded by 'Seasons' producer Cason Cooley, the song is about overcoming self-doubt, and serves as a testament to the hard work that the band, even after the runaway success of its 2013 single 'Best Day Of My Life,' put into what they do. It also doubles up as a commentary on the current political climate of the USA.
All of te songs of 'Counting Down' come together to present a vision of the band that's both recognizable and unfamiliar. Barnett thinks some of the tunes "are even more in the genre of classic American Authors than a lot of other stuff we've done in recent history." He also sees the upcoming EP as opening a new door and leaving the past behind.
"For me," the singer revealed, "this body of work is going to close a big chapter in American Authors. These songs are helping to move the band to the next step, and move forward into something new, because you always want to be progressing forward…There's so much craziness right now – not just with COVID, but with fighting for racial justice, especially in this country – that this is the time now where we need to come together and work hard to progress forward. I hope these songs can inspire people to feel a little better and want to work a little harder."
American Authors has released the following tracklist for 'Counting Down':
As a life-long fan of entertainment, particularly films, television and music, and an endless passion for writing, Karen Benardello decided to combine the two for a career. She graduated from New York's LIU Post with a B.F.A in Journalism, Print and Electronic. While still attending college, Karen began writing for Shockya during the summer of 2007, when she began writing horror movie reviews. Since she began writing for Shockya, Karen has been promoted to the position of Senior Movies & Television Editor. Some of her duties in the position include interviewing filmmakers and musicians, producing posts on celebrity news and contributing reviews on albums and concerts. Some of her highlights include attending such festivals and conventions as the Tribeca Film Festival, the New York Film Festival, SXSW, Toronto After Dark, the Boston Film Festival and New York Comic-Con.

A paraklesis is a service of supplication specifically for the living (as opposed to a Memorial Service, which is a supplication for the departed). This service is most often addressed to the Theotokos, but may be used to seek the intercessions of any saint. The distinguishing feature of a paraklesis is the inclusion of a supplicatory canon to the saint whose intercessions are being sought. A paraklesis can be served as a stand-alone service or, in a slightly abbreviated form, in conjunction with Vespers. It is appropriate to be served at any time of need.
In Slavic practice, there is a similar service that is called a molieben—this service is either served as a stand-alone service or in conjunction with the Divine Liturgy.

Dormition Parakleses to the Theotokos
During the Dormition Fast (August 1-14), a paraklesis is appointed to be served each evening, except on Saturday evenings and the eves of the feasts of Transfiguration (August 5) and Dormition (August 14).
The parakleses of the Dormition Fast use, on alternate days, the Small Supplicatory Canon to the Most Holy Theotokos (composed by Theosterictus the Monk in the 9th Century) and the Great Supplicatory Canon to the Most Holy Theotokos (composed by Emperor Theodore I Ducas Lascaris in the 13th century).
The cycle of the Dormition parakleses is determined by two rules of thumb: (a) the cycle begins with the Small Supplicatory Canon whenever August 1 falls on a Monday through Friday; and (b) on Sunday evenings, the Great Supplicatory Canon is always appointed.
Paraklesis to the Theotokos outside the Dormition Fast
Outside the Dormition Fast, a paraklesis directed to the Theotokos is always chanted with the Small Supplicatory Canon.
Texts of supplicatory canons
The texts of various supplicatory canons can be found in many popular prayer books, service books, and horologia. Some of these include:
The Great Horologion, Holy Transfiguration Monastery (ISBN 0943405084)
A Prayer Book for Orthodox Christians, Holy Transfiguration Monastery (ISBN 0943405017)
There are also online sources for the texts of supplicatory canons, both as part of the paraklesis service and alone. Some of these include:
Small Supplicatory Canon to the Theotokos, website of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia
Great Supplicatory Canon to the Theotokos, website of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia
Supplicatory Canon to St. Silouan of the Holy Mountain, website dedicated to St. Silouan

Metallica's 'Hardwired … To Self-Destruct' Album Passes 1 Million in Pure U.S. Sales
John Hill Published: July 7, 2017
Johnny Perilla, Loudwire
Good news for Metallica and their latest album, Hardwired ... To Self-Destruct, as Billboard reports the disc passing 1 million albums sold as of this week. Hardwired had already earned a platinum certification from the RIAA since streaming is factored in, as well, but this marks a high achievement when it comes to hard digital and physical sales of the disc, which now stand at 1,004,000 units.
While Hardwired has been a huge success on its own, the sales have been boosted in part by the band's promotion for their Worldwired tour in which fans who bought a ticket to a concert also received a copy of the album with their purchase.
Since Nielsen Music began tracking album sales in 1991, Metallica have sold over 58 million albums in the U.S. alone. In fact, the band's self-titled 1991 disc (aka "The Black Album") is the highest-selling album in the Nielsen Music era, with 16.6 million copies sold.
It has indeed been a good year for Metallica. Their Worldwired tour has been absolutely phenomenal. We caught their show in May in Long Island, N.Y., where they tore the place up with the help of Volbeat. They've appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to play the smash single "Now That We're Dead," and even released a second music video for the song, capturing how massive their live show is. The tour continues through the summer, hitting up stadiums across North America with support from Avenged Sevenfold, Volbeat and Gojira.
Congrats, Metallica!

JPMorgan Chase reported record first-quarter results on both the top and bottom lines Friday morning. Shares climbed 2.3% in early trading to $108.68.
Here's how the results stacked up with Wall Street's expectations as compiled by Bloomberg.
"In the first quarter of 2019, we had record revenue and net income, strong performance across each of our major businesses, and a more constructive environment," CEO Jamie Dimon said in the earnings release. "Even amid some global geopolitical uncertainty, the US economy continues to grow, employment and wages are going up, inflation is moderate, financial markets are healthy, and consumer and business confidence remains strong."


I posted this question on this forum, but it doesn't show up. It shows up in my posts, though. Anyway, here it is again with jpg attached.
I would like to morph these particles into an American flag. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I can see it in both sections of the forum.
Well, that does not sound like an easy project. The flag is a 2-dimensional object, but it will still look like a liquid in the end if it is made of liquid particles.
Nevertheless, the magic daemon makes it possible to attract particles to shapes. You could import the elements of the flag as objects (like extruded objects made of curves). Add several magic daemons, each one takes care of one element of the flag.
An alternative approach: let particles emit from the surface of the flag. Then reverse the video.
