Englin's Folly: Frivolous Web Site
Far left liberal Northern Virginia Delegate David Englin (D-45, Alexandria) has pursued some real follies in the General Assembly — and that's putting it politely. Bills to punish people by raising gas taxes and restoring the death tax, to name a few. So pardon us if we think it more than slightly ironic that he, of all people, is complaining about the cost of the suit filed in federal court (Washington Post Virginia Politics Blog) today by Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to overturn, as unconstitutional, the government takeover of health care, made official with President Barack Obama's signature a few hours ago. Delegate Englin launched a Web site that will connect, by phone, government-run health care supporters to complain to the AG (I guess looking up the phone number or e-mail address is too much yeoman's work for certain elitists). Quote the delegate:
This is an egregious waste of taxpayer dollars that could stop Virginians from enjoying the benefits of health-care reform.
Hmmmm. Let's do the math on this one: A few thousand budgeted dollars to do what the AG is sworn to do versus more than $1 trillion in new, unbudgeted federal spending for something proven to fail everywhere it's tried, plus more than $500 billion in new taxes, hundreds of new business and job killing regulations, as well as 118 new federal agencies and 18,000 new IRS employees to enforce that we all buy a government approved health insurance policy (unless, of course, we're 26 and still slacking and can mooch of the parents). Which is greater?
Apparently, Delegate Englin thinks it's "frivolous" to defend Virginia law, which is exactly what the attorney general is sworn to do, as if this nation's most serious challenge to constitutionally guaranteed individual rights is a light matter. In this case, he is defending the General Assembly's recently passed Health Care Freedom legislation. To put it another way, repeat the litany above, followed by:
But defending Virginia law: Priceless.
Now, if Delegate Englin wants to make the argument these tens of thousands of new government jobs are part of the "stimulus" plan, he might have us stumped. But if it will put him at ease, we have the Attorney General Communications Director Brian Gottstein's assurance of one of the most economical law suit filings in Virginia history. When asked by the Washington Post why the suit was filed "before the ink (from the president's signature) dries," he replied:
It's more cost efficient to start the process of challenging the bill as soon as possible. There are significant costs in implementing the health care law, so if it is going to be found unconstitutional, then we can save taxpayer money and trouble by making that determination sooner rather than later.
(By the way, experience for yourself the level of fanaticism, hate, extremism and adherence to the god that is government-is-best by today's leftists. Click on the above link and read the comments.) But they don't have to save it for our AG. In fact, more than a dozen (and counting) attorneys general are filing legal challenges (Christian Science Monitor), but none of them is defending a state law. No, Internet games are frivolous, and in this regard, Delegate Englin has topped even his legislative follies, with a Web site designed to hassle and harrass the Office of Attorney General. Talk about wasting tax dollars. We hope, but don't expect, the delegate and his rabid supporters, will own up and admit they were wrong if, and when, Attorney General Cuccinelli and any of the other attorneys general win their cases.

Earth Policy Institute: Moving to a Stable World Population
By Lester R. Brown
Some 43 countries around the world now have populations that are either essentially stable or declining slowly. In countries with the lowest fertility rates, including Japan, Russia, Germany, and Italy, populations will likely decline somewhat over the next half-century. A larger group of countries has reduced fertility to the replacement level or just below.
They are headed for population stability after large numbers of young people move through their reproductive years. Included in this group are China and the United States. A third group of countries is projected to more than double their populations by 2050, including Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Uganda.
United Nations projections show world population growth under three different assumptions about fertility levels. The medium projection, the one most commonly used, has world population reaching 9.2 billion by 2050. The high one reaches 10.8 billion. The low projection, which assumes that the world will quickly move below replacement-level fertility to 1.6 children per couple, has population peaking at just under 8 billion in 2041 and then declining. If the goal is to eradicate poverty, hunger, and illiteracy, and lessen pressures on already strained natural resources, we have little choice but to strive for the lower projection.
Slowing world population growth means that all women who want to plan their families should have access to the family planning services they need. Unfortunately, at present 201 million couples cannot obtain the services they need. Former U.S. Agency for International Development official J. Joseph Speidel notes that "if you ask anthropologists who live and work with poor people at the village level…they often say that women live in fear of their next pregnancy. They just do not want to get pregnant." Filling the family planning gap may be the most urgent item on the global agenda. The benefits are enormous and the costs are minimal.
The good news is that countries that want to help couples reduce family size can do so quickly. In just one decade Iran dropped its near-record population growth rate to one of the lowest in the developing world. When Ayatollah Khomeini assumed leadership in Iran in 1979, he immediately dismantled the well-established family planning programs and instead advocated large families. In response to his pleas, fertility levels climbed, pushing Iran's annual population growth to a peak of 4.2 percent in the early 1980s, a level approaching the biological maximum. As this enormous growth began to burden the economy and the environment, the country's leaders realized that overcrowding, environmental degradation, and unemployment were undermining Iran's future. (See www.earthpolicy.org/Updates/Update4ss.htm for more information.)
In 1989 the government did an about-face and restored its family planning program. In May 1993, a national family planning law was passed. The resources of several government ministries, including education, culture, and health, were mobilized to encourage smaller families. Iran Broadcasting was given responsibility for raising awareness of population issues and of the availability of family planning services. Some 15,000 "health houses" or clinics were established to provide rural populations with health and family planning services.
Religious leaders were directly involved in what amounted to a crusade for smaller families. Iran introduced a full panoply of contraceptive measures, including the option of male sterilization—a first among Muslim countries. All forms of birth control, including contraceptives such as the pill and sterilization, were free of charge. In fact, Iran became a pioneer—the only country to require couples to take a class on modern contraception before receiving a marriage license.
In addition to the direct health care interventions, a broad-based effort was launched to raise female literacy, boosting it from 25 percent in 1970 to more than 70 percent in 2000. Female school enrollment increased from 60 to 90 percent. Television was used to disseminate information on family planning throughout the country, taking advantage of the 70 percent of rural households with TV sets. As a result of this initiative, family size in Iran dropped from seven children to fewer than three. From 1987 to 1994, Iran cut its population growth rate by half. Its population growth rate of 1.3 percent in 2006 is only slightly higher than that in the United States.
While the attention of researchers has focused on the role of formal education in reducing fertility, soap operas on radio and television can even more quickly change people's attitudes about reproductive health, gender equity, family size, and environmental protection. A well-written soap opera can have a profound short-term effect on population growth. It costs relatively little and can proceed even while formal educational systems are being expanded.
The power of this approach was pioneered by Miguel Sabido, a vice president of Televisa, Mexico's national television network, with a series of soap opera segments on illiteracy. The day after one of his soap opera characters visited a literacy office wanting to learn how to read and write, a quarter-million people showed up at these offices in Mexico City. Eventually 840,000 Mexicans enrolled in literacy courses after watching the series. Sabido dealt with contraception in another soap opera, and within a decade this drama series helped reduce Mexico's birth rate by 34 percent.
Other groups quickly picked up this approach. The U.S.-based Population Media Center has initiated projects in some 15 countries and is planning launches in several others. Their radio dramas in Ethiopia, for example, address issues of health and gender equity, such as HIV/AIDS, family planning, and the education of girls. A survey two years after the broadcasts began in 2002 found that 63 percent of new clients seeking reproductive health care at Ethiopia's 48 service centers reported listening to one of the dramas. Demand for contraceptives increased 157 percent.
The costs of providing reproductive health and family planning services are small compared with their benefits. Expanding these services to reach all women in the developing countries would take close to $17 billion in additional funding from both industrial and developing countries.
Shifting to smaller families brings generous economic dividends. For Bangladesh, analysts concluded that $62 spent by the government to prevent an unwanted birth saved $615 in expenditures on other social services. Investing in reproductive health and family planning services leaves more fiscal resources per child for education and health care, thus accelerating the escape from poverty.
Helping countries that want to slow their population growth to do so quickly brings with it what economists call the demographic bonus. When countries move quickly to smaller families, growth in the number of young dependents—those who need nurturing and educating—declines relative to the number of working adults. In this situation, productivity surges, savings and investment climb, and economic growth accelerates. This effect lasts for only a few decades, but it is usually enough to launch a country into the modern era. Indeed, except for a few oil-rich countries, no developing country has successfully modernized without slowing population growth.
The United Nations estimates that meeting the needs of the 201 million women who do not have access to effective contraception could each year prevent 52 million unwanted pregnancies, 22 million induced abortions, and 1.4 million infant deaths. Put simply, the costs to society of not filling the family planning gap may be greater than we can afford.

Travis Hunter: 247sports's New Number One Recruit

With Quarterback Quinn Ewers deciding to enroll at Ohio State in 2021, a new number one player had to be named. 247sports decided to name Georgia Cornerback Travis Hunter as the best recruit in 2022. While Hunter is number one on 247sports rankings, he's number two behind Defensive Lineman Walter Nolan on the 247sports composite.
Hunter, a Florida State commit, chose the Seminoles over other schools like Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Florida Clemson, and in-state Georgia. Hunter has been committed there since March of 2020. Florida State has produced some great secondary players over the years, including Deion Sanders, Jalen Ramsey, Derwin James, and now Asante Samuel Jr.
Hunter will have to live to both the pressure of being a top-rated recruit and the legacy of those past players. However, there's a reason 247sports named him the top player in 2022. Hunter was named the MaxPreps Junior Football player of the year for the 2020 season.
Hunter is listed at 6'1", 165 pounds, so he has the height that teams like. However, he does have to put on some weight before he gets on a college field. Hunter is an athlete, as he also plays wide receiver at Collins Hill.
As a corner, Hunter has all the potential to be a shutdown player for Florida State. He has great ball skills that allow him to track a pass in the air and either knock it down or intercept it. Many times in his junior highlights, it looked like he was the receiver when on defense. In Hunter's sophomore highlights, the first play showed him jumping the route and preventing a touchdown.
Hunter possesses great speed that allows him to keep track of whoever he is covering. On one play in his junior season, he went to cover the receiver in the end zone and came away with the interception. When Hunter gets a pick, he's looking to run it back the other way. A few times in both of his highlights, he intercepted the ball in the end zone and ran it back at least 30 yards.
Offensively Hunter is a playmaker that is dangerous with the ball in his hands. Many times in his highlights he makes a big play whether it is from a deep pass or a screen. Hunter can go up and get a 50-50 ball that also helps him on defense. His speed allows him to outrun every defender that tried to chase him down.
Hunter does need to work on his technique when he is lined up at corner. Many times he was staring in the backfield then keeping an eye on his guy. He also needs to watch how much space he is giving receivers, as that could lead to problems.
Whether it is on offense or defense, Travis Hunter should be a great player for Florida State. The impact he could have in the secondary could put him in the conversation with some of the school's all-time greats.

Couchbase Releases N1QL Language for SQL Queries of JSON Data
The NoSQL database company has created a SQL-based programming language.
NoSQL database vendor Couchbase has launched a new programming language called N1QL (pronounced "nickel"). Short for "Non-first Normal Form Query Language," N1QL allows developers to perform SQL-like queries on JSON data.
"N1QL is based on SQL," Couchbase explained. "It has familiar data definition language (DDL), data manipulation language (DML) and query language statements, yet it works on NoSQL database features such as key-value stores, multi-value attributes and nested objects. If you know SQL, you can easily learn N1QL -- in fact, you're already more than halfway there."
N1QL will be included in the upcoming Couchbase Server release. The company has also posted several resources related to the language, including a tutorial, online.

If you have any doubt about the power of grassroots advocacy, check out what happened to House Bill 691 in Maryland's General Assembly.
Introduced on Feb. 1, the so-called "Filing Fee Fairness Act of 2017" called for an increase in the fee that small businesses must pay for filing an annual report with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation. For businesses with just $200,000 in assets, that proposed annual fee would have skyrocketed from $300 to $4,000.
Then MACPA members got wind of the proposal.
Word of the exorbitant proposed increase spread rapidly through the MACPA's state and federal tax listservs, and the association quickly added the bill to its legislative agenda. MACPA members were on hand to testify against the bill at a Feb. 22 hearing before the House Economic Matters Committee, and MACPA Executive Director Tom Hood submitted written testimony as well.
Moreover, said Hood, the proposal was nothing more than a form of double taxation — and inherently bad for business in Maryland.
The opposition from the CPA community made an impression on Del. Chris Adams.
"Adams said many CPAs in his district complained more about the proposal than the current sick leave bill moving through the legislature," MarylandReporter.com reporter Daniel Menefee wrote.
"I got a lot of opposition from the business community on this one," Adams said.
Members of the House Economic Matters Committee apparently agreed with the state's CPAs.
On March 3, the committee unanimously gave H.B. 691 an unfavorable reporting, and the bill's sponsor, Del. Vanessa Atterbeary, withdrew the bill.
That's the power of legislative advocacy. The collective voice of Maryland's CPAs was heard loud and clear.
Be vigilant, CPAs, and keep fighting the good fight. Our lawmakers hear you, and they're paying attention.
Near the top of our list is the Taxpayer Protection Act. Introduced by the Hogan administration and supported by Comptroller Peter Franchot, the bill would help the Comptroller's Office prevent tax fraud, safeguard taxpayer information, and hold fraudulent tax filers and preparers accountable.
MACPA members are encouraged to continue their legislative advocacy efforts by writing letters to their legislators in support of the Taxpayer Protection Act. Those who do should CC Mary Beth Halpern, the MACPA's director of advocacy and technical services, at marybeth@macpa.org. Enter your address here to find your elected officials.

More Than 165,000 Petition Signers Demand SEC Finalize Rule Requiring CEO-to-Worker Pay Ratio Disclosure
In petitions delivered today to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), more than 165,000 Americans demanded that the commission finally implement the proposal requiring companies to disclose their CEO-to-median worker pay ratio which was mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010.
The petition signatures were gathered by the AFL-CIO, CREDO Action, MoveOn.org, Americans for Financial Reform and Public Citizen. (The petitions and their signers may viewed or downloaded here.)
"It's been five years since this proposal was passed under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, but no action has been taken to enforce it. The time to implement this proposal is long overdue and the American people are tired of waiting," said Heather Slavkin Corzo, AFL-CIO Director of Office and Investment.
Wall Street and big corporations continue to lobby against this reform that will increase transparency and accountability to the investing public.
"Dodd-Frank requires the SEC to issue a forceful CEO pay-disclosure rule, but once again the SEC is simply refusing to do its job under Mary Jo White's leadership," said Murshed Zaheed, Deputy Political Director at CREDO Action. "White and the other commissioners need to remember that they work for the American people – not Wall Street – and implement this basic transparency rule now."
"We have seen a small number of financial elites handcuff bipartisan common sense reform that many House members and Senators have worked hard to implement. It's time for the SEC to do its job and implement this rule," said Lisa Gilbert, director of Public Citizen's Congress Watch division.
"The SEC has a statutory obligation to complete this rule – and a strong public-policy reason to do so as well," said Lisa Donner, Executive Director of Americans for Financial Reform. "The pay ratio is information that shareholders should have on how a company is organized; there is no good reason that implementation of this simple and clear Dodd Frank requirement should be delayed."
"Americans have made it very clear—they want an economy that works for all workers and not just for CEOs. They want a level playing field. The grassroots movement to demand a new and transparent economic fairness has been growing all year and now over 165,000 Americans have joined in calling on the SEC to act," said Justin Krebs, Campaign Director at MoveON.org.

Wow Shadowlands Release Date
By Syed iqbalPosted on December 7, 2020 December 13, 2020 0
Unquestionably, the online gaming platforms' popularity has been surging among the gamers community in recent days. Unlike others, World of Warcraft is such a platform with nearly 4.88 million players in 2020 (recorded by Statista). Surprisingly, this platform has brought a newly extended part under the name of Shadowland. Before that, World of Warcraft game authority has been brought eight significant expansions. That upcoming expansion will give the player a new flavor named the afterlife. The formal announcement came through Twitter. On there, Blizzard announced the wow shadowlands release date to the public. Here on, we are going to clarify all details related to this matter in this article.

Final Thought of wow shadowlands release date
Back in 26th October 2020, Blizzard announced wow shadowland release date. But they could not make it on time and announced on Twitter to delay on 1st October. Moreover, they needed some more time to improve the game. They confidently announced this expansion.
Also, they are working on polishing the expansion and shore up the endgame. On 23rd November, 3 pm (PST) / 24th November, midnight (CET), World of Warcraft: Shadowlands launched.
On 13th October, Blizzard already released WoW: Shadowlands pre-patch. Now, what is a pre-patch? Some of you may not know about it. Usually, in WoW, they proceed by releasing a patch that covers all the significant systemic changes.
For example, Wow Shadowlands include a special event by rewarding mighty gears for the lagged players. They also work to level the works preparing the players for the adventure on Shadowlands.
Blizzard came off with a trailer in Opening Night Live of Gamescom. Besides, they announced the Wow Shadowlands release date. However, the release date has been delayed. Also, the video has been taken down. In replace, they premiered an animated short series named Afterlives.
It was the first episode of this series with the title Bastion. Interestingly, you will meet some characters on your adventure in WoW Shadowlands. This animated short series will introduce you to those characters. For each new zone, Blizzard already released one series.
WoW: Shadowlands beta test is already going, and continuously they are updating the game with new features. You can find a lot of exciting stuff in your adventure. Some highlights for you:
In the beta version of WoW Shadowlands, players are much excited over a new feature called Covenant. Blizzard recently confirmed that this new feature, Covenant, would not go under any significant modification in expansion.
Another notable massive new feature is Torghast, Tower of the Damned. It is a roguelike dungeon. Toughest, Tower of the Damned is the coolest feature that Blizzard added in this game in years. The thing is, each time you enter the tower, it changes. As you explore the levels, you will gain new powers that will make you go wild. These powers are a lot of fun. Bet anyone would love this most heated feature.
Leveling in the World of Warcraft: Shadowlands takes so much time. It is also tangled, and traveling through the old zones is not fun, like exploring new ones. This is boring while playing the game.
Fortunately, Blizzard is working on getting this one fixed. They are shrinking down the level cap to 60 and reconstruct the characters leveling up. Besides, there is a starting zone, which is a new feature. It starts by giving an intro to new players, and it's fun.

On the WoW Shadowlands alpha servers, data miners are already digging the files. Moreover, they are collecting every bit of interesting info. They already rounded up some coolest features. For example, some rad new armor sets Xbox Adaptive Controllers controller support.
Interestingly, wow: Shadowlands is already available for pre-order. Unlike other earlier expansions, there are some bonuses in different editions.
This edition costs $40, including the pre-order of WoW Shadowlands. You can get immediate access to Pandaren and Death Knights for Allied Races.
This edition costs $60. Along with a 120 level character boost, the quest to get a new transmog set, the Ensorcelled Everwyrm flying mount, also includes everything in the Base edition.
This edition costs $80. It includes everything of Base and Heroic edition. Besides, it also consists of 30 days of game time, a special effect for the Hearthstone, Anima Wyrmling pet, a particular product for the weapon, and 30 days of game time.
After the Battle of Azeroth took place, WoW Shadowlands takes the players to the land of death to continue the adventure. Actually, this is a version of the afterlife. After Sylvanas destroyed the Helm of Domination, they split apart the barrier between the Shadowlands and the Azeroth. As various factions lived there, players have to help restore the order by moving through the Shadowlands.
So, they can stop the Sylvanas. Ion Hazzikostas, the game director, says the Shadowlands was supposed to be a place for dead souls where they are judged because of their act. Then they are sent to other realms. But Sylvanas and the jailer (Sylvanas strange partner) already broke the cycle and channeling all the souls into the Maw.
The Maw is a reserved realm of monsters where you can find every evil and horrific nightmare. Though Sylvana's aim is not precise, and anyone can say it's not right. So, to restore balance, players have to join with the Covenants of Shadowlands.
Wow, Shadowlands came up with some new zones. Among them, four zones will be leveling zone. Here players will journey according to some order. Also, Oribos, a new central hub for the players, and The Maw, an endgame zone at max-level.
At first, the players will have to travel through this zone, Bastion. Bastion is the homeland of the angelic ancestors of the Valkyr, called the Kyrian. Moreover, this is a version of Heaven in Shadowlands.
Here, honourable souls come to meditate and confess their past life. Besides, the Light bringer, famous Paladin Uther also lives here.
Covenants are significant new features in this game. Each zone of the Covenants is ruled by a faction. In the afterlife, each section has a specific purpose. While you travel through, you have to assist the factions. As you help coalitions, you will be rewarded with two unique abilities along with a faction-specific gear. Among two special skills, one is player class- specific, and another is universal ability.
Moreover, you can choose one Covenant to join with after you reach the new level by completing the primary campaign. Along with a specific armour set, it permanently unlocks specific faction abilities.
Interestingly, Blizzard has included eight new dungeons with a new raid like other expansions. While levelling, four of the jails will be unlocked, and the other half will be opened after the player reaches the level cap. Moreover, Torghast, Tower of the Damned, which is the second robust feature, is an endless dungeon.
And, you can explore this dungeon solo or team up with the other four players. This dungeon changes each time you enter into it. As you explore the levels, you will gain new powers that will make you go wild. These powers are a lot of fun. Bet anyone would love this most heated feature.
It would be better if you run this game in SSD. Also, you will be able to run this game on your hard drive; you have to tolerate a big loading time. The next expansion of WoW's system requirement is no joke.

Naturally, after hearing the wow shadowlands release date, the query on how much they need to spend to get this new version may arise among the gamer community. Like other earlier expansions, there are some bonuses in different editions.
This edition costs $40 including the pre-order of WoW Shadowlands. You can get immediate access to Pandaren and Death Knights for Allied Races.
This edition costs $60. Along with 120 level character boosts, quest to get a new transmog set, the Ensorcelled Everwyrm flying mount, also it includes everything in the Base edition.
This edition costs $80. It includes everything of Base and Heroic edition. Besides, it also consists of 30 days of game time, a special effect for the Hearthstone, Anima Wyrmling pet, a special product for the weapon, and 30 days of game time.
Blizzard is working on getting this one fixed. They are shrinking down the level cap to 60 and reconstruct the characters levelling up. Besides, there is a starting zone which is a new feature. It starts by giving an intro to new players and its fun.
Also, for players who are already playing this game, their level will shrink to a new level. In the pre-patch, 120 level players will squish to level 50. Though, your character's relative power won't be affected due to this change.
Though some of the players might get hurt because of the level squishing update. But there are much more exciting features in WoW Shadowlands. Some massive new exciting features are coming in the future.
Blizzard is already working on the update. In the beta version of WoW Shadowlands, players are much excited over a new feature, which is called Covenant. But recently, Blizzard confirmed that this new feature Covenant would not go under any significant modification in expansion.
Another notable massive new feature is Torghast, Tower of the Damned. It is a rogue like dungeon. Torghast, Tower of the Damned is the coolest feature that Blizzard added in this game in years. The thing is, each time you enter the tower, it changes. As you explore the levels, you will gain new powers that will make you go wild.
These powers are a lot of fun. Bet anyone would love this wildest feature. After all, you will love to play WoW shadowlands.
Surprisingly, you can play wow solo or in a team. But, many people like to play solo. It' fun to raid faction's solo. Teaming up gives the game more juice. Torghast, Tower of the Damned, which is the second robust feature, is an endless dungeon.
You can explore this dungeon solo or team up with the other four players. So, this dungeon changes each time you enter into it. As you explore the levels, you will gain new powers that will make you go wild. If you find any friends who play this game, then you better team up with them.
Hopefully, we could notify you about the new expansion through the article on wow shadowlands release date. Although this part (Shadowlands) has already released, our discussed information will help you to get the ultimate fun while playing.

Creating a "Dream Home" may sound daunting, but read today's post to see what simple things Sariah has done to achieve just that.
Hey again, Sariah Tate here from Tricks of the MotherhoodTrade.com.
What is the home of your dreams? Maybe your mind immediately wanders through your Pinterest boards of beautiful, spacious homes, white cabinets and striking marble counter tops. Perhaps eye catching decor, fun nooks, entertainment areas and play areas with perfectly organized toys and books and on and on.
Well, my mind is expert at wandering that direction but I come to also think of a journal entry I wrote when I was pregnant with my 3rd child. I'm not one to describe pregnancy as a glorious and glowing time for me (read this post) but with some conscious effort and deliberate action I can sincerely say it was a sacred and wonderful time for me.
I learned a lot and don't think I have had a time I have consistently felt the sweet whisperings of peace and contentment without the need for many external things. In fact that journal entry reminded me that there was a time I honestly felt like I was living in the home and life of my DREAMS! Which was two young kids, a bloated body, a husband in school, a two bedroom town home and little money to afford anything fancy!
What was the secret of my heightened experience? Well, I'm going to let you dive right into my personal journal writings in hopes it can shed some light about light (the Spirit) and its ability to transform our seemingly ordinary moments into rich experiences. Reading through this was a great reminder for me today on how simply we can create a haven in our hearts and extend that to our homes. Something I forget ALL THE TIME!!
"A miracle has happened in our family. There is so much peace, calmness, caring and love in our home. It is what every mother dreams of and it is a reality I'm so blessed to live.
It has been a journey getting here and there is still a ways to go but everyday I am taught how to create such a home of my dreams.
It went from a place where I felt there was so much stress and discouragement for me. Where I was overwhelmed with responsibility and resentful of my job as a mother. I have gone from a wife who resents her husband for not 'doing enough' to one that is humble and can finally see his diligent and wonderful efforts. He has turned into the man of my dreams. Through the help of the Spirit I am starting to be that wife that doesn't seem to need to complain, whine, and dump emotionally on my husband. I am coming to a position to 'give' instead of 'take' from him. I am starting to love and take care of myself so I actually have something to 'give' to him and my family. I now see him more caring and gentle with me, more helpful and loving. I love that I am finally ready to receive. I can finally give and it has transformed me and the entire dynamic of our home.
How cool it is to be able to raise children in a home where there is little or no yelling, stress or chaos. Where all family members strive to do their part to clean and help out. I feel that through Heavenly Father's help I have been able to have dinner ready, clothes ready, house ready for us to thrive with little or no stress. That is the magic. It wasn't done hurriedly with panic or franticness. I finally made time to do things in a calm, relaxed and happy manner, one in which I can be glad in the things and responsibilities I am over and encourage those around me to help without contempt. What an ideal environment to feel love, to learn, to grow, thrive and ultimately share with others. I am so blessed. This is the bliss the of the Gospel. This is the light, love and order of God. I can't believe I am so lucky to live in this.
I know once this baby comes, things will change. I will be challenged with sleep deprivation, and the stress of a new baby. I will be tempted to go back to my old ways, to complain, to be stressed, and deprived. My house will not be as clean and kept up as it has been. I will struggle in my priorities of wanting to keep a nice house and trying to balance that by keeping my own peace by not overrunning myself or others.
If I can keep focus: to love and then to do, then I can keep a center even in an otherwise difficult time. I can trust the Lord in all I do. Not trust that my children will behave perfectly or my house will be in total order, or that my husband will do or say what is written in my mental script but I can TRUST the spirit of love and understanding that is there to help me carry through anytime. It is what is unwavering, it is where true security lies and true freedom. Tapping into in it in all stages of life and learning how to come back again and again.
Whoa. That's really how I felt. That was July, 2014, fast forward almost 2 years later, how am I doing now? Well, I predicted right. Once baby came, so did the chaos. Plenty of sweet feelings but I can not lie, we definitely felt uprooted and tested in many ways. Our relationships, our emotional and physical capacities have been stretched to our max (can you say sleep deprivation, sickness and house infestations?). I laugh to think that at one point I actually had clothes ready and that there was little yelling or stress because that hardly seems the case now! But the possibility is there. Not as a discouraging comparison but as a hopeful beacon of light. When we are tested and uprooted the evidence of our life may reflect we are falling behind, failing or inadequate but in reality it is a sacred space where the demands of life outweigh our current time and energy which cause us to reconsider all our priorities and compel us to seek a power beyond our own. Although externally things may seem chaotic, within us there are many beautiful lessons taught and mindsets shifting to a higher sphere. It is our chance to meet ourselves exactly where we are and strive to connect to God and peace again in all phases of life. When we are pulled right out of our comfort zones, and start to feel the stress and despair that comes with a new growing experience, the journey back to peace and love is where all the lessons, growth and healing take place. We can be transformed by our experiences and we become deeper people with greater room for love, wisdom and ultimately greater joy.
I feel like we are slowly bridging the gap to experience more continual peace again and reap the blessings of the growth it took to get there.
In that same journal entry I wrote down simple points to help me remember what exactly helps or doesn't help me feel the Spirit. I believe the Spirit is a real gentle, guiding and empowering force that is always available to all of us if we but make conscious choices to allow a connection to it in our lives.
I have experienced its sweet reassurance and transformed my simple family life into a sweet eternal experiences. It is the REAL secret to create a haven in our hearts and extent that to create the home of our dreams!
What ways help you feel satisfied with your family life? How do you connect to feeling the Spirit in your home?
Here is the feel the spirit pdf download.
Sariah, I seriously LOVE this!! I've been talking all day about how great it is and how GLAD I am that you shared it. That overwhelmed feeling (being pregnant with #7) is exactly what I'm feeling right now and this post was so perfect for me. Thank you!
Mariel! Congrats! Wow, incredible woman you are, girl! Yes. There are few things that compare to the overwhelmed feeling while pregnant! I'm glad this was able to speak to you. Power to you sister and blessings to you and your sweet family.
You're sweet. Thank you!! I'll miss having you here… even though it was just a couple months, your posts are AMAZING!!

RHI to build a Petrochemicals Plant in Ceyhan with an investment cost of $1.2 billion / Turkey
Rönesans Holding has partnered with Algerian national energy company Sonatrach to develop a polypropylene production plant in Turkey, with a $1.2 billion investment. It is in the Ceyhan Mega Petrochemistry Industry Zone.
The proposed facility, which will be the first investment in the area, will feature a production capacity of 450,000 tonnes. Set to become operational in 2023, the facility will reduce Turkey's current deficit by $450 to $500 million each year.
The contract for the development of the polypropylene production facility, a joint investment by Rönesans Holding and Sonatrach, was signed by Dr. Erman Ilıcak and Sonatrach CEO Abdelmoumen Ould Kaddour on November 28, 2018 in a ceremony attended by Mustafa Varank, the Republic of Turkey's Minister of Industry and Technology.

366 Days' was an idea I had for a book many years ago that never went away.
Depending on where I was, or what I was doing, many days gave me a variety of vision material; enough to have a memory bank of images which I could access at a later date. On the other hand, some days were a struggle.
My book was my personal achievement which I can now share with you.


All Toyota Innova Crysta models manufactured between 16th July 2016 and 22nd March 2018 have been recalled. Similarly, all Fortuner models produced between 6th October 2016 and 22nd March 2018 have also been recalled.
Toyota Kirloskar Motors claims that the recall will affect only the petrol variants of both their offerings. The recall will not be charged and owners can schedule the repair with authorized dealers.
Toyota recently saw a sales growth of 23 % in the first half of 2018 (Jan – June). The company sold 13,088 units in India for June 2018. Innova Crysta is a popular model in the Toyota line-up for India which alone registered a growth of 43 % during June 2018. The MPV averages 8,000 units of sales every month, despite being priced at a premium.
Recall issued by Toyota may affect just a few of the Toyota customers, as most of the vehicles sold are in the diesel variants of both the Innova and the Fortuner in India.

Through two preseason games, the Detroit Lions' tight ends short on career production have been front and center in the team's struggles.
Allen Park — Through two preseason games, a Detroit Lions position group short on career production has been front and center in the team's struggles.
With two weeks left until the regular season, the tight ends are confident things will turn around for both the unit and offense starting with Friday night at Tampa Bay.
The results have not been good so far, as Roberts, Luke Willson and Levine Toilolo have combined for two catches and 19 yards. For the long-struggling run game, inconsistency has continued.
Further down the depth chart, Hakeem Valles (four catches, 31 yards) and Marcus Lucas (four catches, 23 yards) have made plays, perhaps playing their way into roster or practice squad consideration.
When coach Matt Patricia was asked about the group's inability to stretch the field — the longest preseason tight end catch has gone for 14 yards — he said the coaching staff is still evaluating each player's strengths.
"You just try to figure out what do they do best and try to put them in the situation to be able to do that and to achieve, and that's the most important thing," Patricia said.
Willson, of Windsor, and Toilolo came over as free agents after five seasons with their original teams. Willson caught 89 passes in Seattle and Toilolo had 74 receptions in Atlanta. Roberts had four catches for 46 yards for the Lions as a fourth-round pick last season out of Toledo.
"We're grinding, man. It's a competitive environment here," Willson said. "It's been kind of neat to see how we've all bonded in a short period of time. We've all been pushing each other, but it's all been supportive. As a group, we have an ability to do a lot of different things.
Patricia also said Friday will give the Lions another look at the running backs, who have combined for 136 yards on 38 carries through two games. LeGarrette Blount has 16 carries through three games, Kerryon Johnson had 11, Ameer Abdullah had six, Zach Zenner had four, and Theo Riddick had one.
"We're trying to put guys in different positions in both of those first two games, but also in practices," Patricia said. "We're certainly just trying to get all of them enough equal amounts of time.
Michiganders traveling south to Florida is nothing new.
The Lions will be up against several snowbirds with Michigan ties on Friday night, including one of their own draft picks from last season.
Defensive end Patrick O'Connor, a seventh-round pick from Eastern Michigan, was released before last season by the Lions and played three games for Tampa Bay.
Tampa Bay has two others from EMU in wide receiver Sergio Bailey and offensive tackle Cole Gardner.
Offensive coordinator Todd Monken coached for the Eagles from 1993-99.
Michigan State's Riley Bullough (Traverse City), a linebacker, and William Gholston (Detroit), a defensive end, are backups on the defense.
Other Michigan natives include Central Michigan's Amari Coleman (Flint) and wide receiver Jake Lampman, a Ferris State product from Haslett.
Coleman briefly was with the Lions, signing as an undrafted free agent shortly after the NFL Draft.
The Bucs took Ronald Jones II with the 38th overall selection in the second round of April's draft, five picks before the Lions selected Johnson.
While the Lions rookie running back from Auburn has shown flashes through two preseason games, Tampa Bay's rookie from USC has not yet found the open field.
Jones, billed as an explosive threat in the pass and run game, has rushed 12 times for 11 yards for one touchdown. He has no catches on two targets.
Jones' struggles, coupled with injuries to Saquon Barkley of the New York Giants, Seattle's Rashaad Penny and Washington's Derrius Guice represent a slow start for the featured running backs of the rookie class.
The group has a tough act to follow after the breakout rookie seasons a year ago from running backs such as Alvin Kamara of New Orleans, Leonard Fournette of Jacksonville, Kareem Hunt of Kansas City and Christian McCaffrey of Carolina.

This four-inch hummingbird is a Costa Rican specialty, and even within that small country, the bird is hard to spot.
Imagine you're standing in the ocean with your back to the shore—then you see the Mangrove Hummingbird zip past. That's the usual way people lucky enough to see this bird experience it.
The species is found only in mangrove swamps and adjacent vegetation along the Pacific Coast. It's so closely tied to mangroves that the bird even prefers to feed on mangrove flowers.
Sea level rise associated with climate change is one of the biggest threats to the Mangrove Hummingbird. Since mangroves are low-lying, any rise in surrounding waters could quickly inundate the species' limited habitat.
Habitat loss is another issue. Although mangrove logging is illegal in Costa Rica, trees are still cut to make room for shrimp aquaculture, road construction, and charcoal production. This ever-shrinking habitat puts Mangrove Hummingbirds and other vulnerable species at risk, including the Yellow-billed Cotinga, Black-cheeked Ant Tanager, and Turquoise Cotinga.
The species' limited range and declining numbers have led the International Union for Conservation of Nature to classify the Mangrove Hummingbird as Endangered. In 2008, our International Program and Osa Conservation established the Yellow-billed Cotinga Sanctuary in 2013, helping to protect mangroves essential to the hummingbird and other species.
In 2016, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of our sustainable tourism program, which is designed to prevent the extinction of some of the Americas' rarest bird species. Our reserve network now includes more than 70 tropical reserves, including the Yellow-billed Cotinga Sanctuary, and spanning close to one million acres. To date, the reserves have attracted well over 25,000 visitors, including birders, photographers, and trekkers whose entrance and accommodation fees have helped to finance reserve management and protection.
Birders and ecotourists can visit the Osa to see the Mangrove Hummingbird and other birds found nowhere else. Visit Conservation Birding to learn more.
In his recent book, Steven Johnson coins the term "Hummingbird Effect" to make the point that innovation in one realm can trigger unpredictable and unexpected advancement in others. We not only agree, but have dozens of examples of how great American bird conservation projects make considerable, sometimes unexpected contributions to other important causes including amphibian conservation, human health, food safety, climate change, water conservation, and home energy savings.

Q: Reference request on numerical semigroups I watched some talks about numeric semigroups, and their relation with algebraic geometry (such as Weierstrass Semigroup of a curve), and I'm interested in take a deeper look in this topic, can anyone appoint some references in order to start the study in this area? My background is the first 3 chapters of Hatshorne, and some familiarity with monads and vector bundles.
Thank you so much for your time!
