Brief Commentaries Upon Such Parts of the Revelation and Other Prophecies as ...
AvJoseph Galloway
foretold the rise of the four great empires, predicts also their destruction. St. John foretells the fall as well as the rise of *Mohamed and the Pope. So here, having foretold the rise of the French Republic, he predicts its destruction toot; and this destruction is not mentioned generally as a plague, in which case it might mean famine, pestilence, war and conquest; but this vial of the wrath of God it is particularly said, is to be "poured out on the seat of the beast," that is, upon his public authority, his throne, and his government. In this sense the word "seat" is often used in Scripture‡, and there is no reason to doubt but it means the same here: and as the wrath of God destroys whatever it is poured out upon, it must overturn the government of the beast, and annihilate his authority. To this great event the prophet has before briefly referred§; and I have already commented upon it: and yet that we may have all that the prophet has said upon the same subject before us in one view, I shall here repeat the substance. It is there compared to " A GREAT EARTHQUAKE," which literally means a great convulsion and revolution of a government. It is there said that " a tenth part of the city," that is, of the nation, "fell," that" in the earthquake," or in the course of the revolution," seven thousand men of name," or of men holding offices under the state, "were slain." If so many officers of

Luke i. 52.
*Rev. xvi. 12. + Rev. xiii. 10. Esther iii. 1. Ezek. xxviii. 2.
§ Rev. xi. 13.
government are to be slain, it is not improbable that a tenth part of the nation will fall in the dreadful convulsion, and that "the remnant," though affrighted at the horrors of the scene, will not even then, "give glory to the GOD OF HEAVEN."
However, it seems, that the distress and woes here described are to surpass, in an eminent degree, those which we have seen poured out upon this devoted nation, under two former vials for, under the first, it was only to be "plagued" with " a noisome and grievous sore,' or with those lawless tumults and insurrections which we have seen come to pass before the destruction of the monarchy, and before it had become so lost to all truth, as to establish the atheistical republic. Under the second period of its "plagues," which gave rise to the republic, and the avowed establishment of atheism, it was to be, and literally has been," scorched with fire and great heat :" that is, with those bloody factions and dreadful scenes of assassinations, insurrections, and desolating massacres, which took place during "the reign of terror," or despotic denomination of Roberspierre. But however agonizing the torments of these vials may have been, the woes which are to attend the fall of this monstrous power are to be far more excruciating; for, we are here told, that the people, (like men in the agony and fury of madness) shall gnaw their " tongues for pain," and despairing of pardon, " because of their pains and their sores," shall blaspheme
the God of Heaven," and repent not of their deeds." And thus it would seem, that the extreme sufferings of this monstrous enemy of God and man, are to keep pace with its increase in wickedness, until its final destruction.
Vial 6-Ver. 12." And the sixth angel poured out his vial on the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the East "might be prepared."
This vial also refers to future events; and yet seems to point to the country and people on which it shall be poured out, whenever it shall be the divine pleasure. We have before seen Germany described by the metaphor of "rivers and fountains." Here the prophet describes the country by "the great river Euphrates," evidently meaning the country watered by that river, He had before* described the same country, by the same metaphor, where he foretells the rise and establishment of the Turkish or Ottoman empire, by "the four angels of the great river Euphrates," who were loosed or permitted, in the course of divine providence, to establish that empire. These angels were the four Sultans, or leaders of the Turks and Othmans; and this river has been in the possession of their successors, the Emperors of Turkey, ever since. The Eu
Chap. ix. 14, 15.
phrates is the largest river in Asiatic Turkey, and waters and enriches the whole country, and, therefore, it is a proper type for the Turkish or Othman empire itself. Here, then, the prophet again identifies the empire, upon which this vial should be poured out by the same metaphorical and descriptive appellation, "the great river Euphrates." Hence, and from the tenor of the Revelation, which, in sundry places, assures the church of the divine favour and ultimate triumph over all its enemies, may we not conclude, that this vial of the wrath of God, is to be poured out upon the Turkish empire, and in it the Mohamedan apostacy, which has persecuted, or, as the prophet expresses it*, " trodden under foot the holy city," or church of Christ, in the East, as the Papal hierarchy has done in the West, during the last twelve centuries? And as the persecutions of these unrelenting enemies of that church began about the same time, and the period limited for the continuance of the same, and as that period is now near expiring, it does not seem an improbable conjecture, that the fall of the Mohamedan, will, in the course of a very few years, follow that of the Papal church.
This conjecture will appear yet more probable, from the sense of the following part of the verse. The prophet having described the empire, upon which this vial is to be poured
* Rev. xi. 2.
out, proceeds to describe the state of the people when that event shall take place: " and the water thereof was dried up. Water, which is the element that forms and feeds those great bodies the rivers, lakes, and seas, is an accurate metaphor for the people, who form and maintain a civil society. And we have the authority of the prophet himself*, that, in prophetic language,"waters" mean peoples, and multitudes, and nations and tongues." The water of the great river Euphrates must then allude to the "multitudes of people of different nations and tongues," who compose and are subject to the Turkish empire: and these, according to the text, are to be " dried up." But how dried up? The prophet could not mean, that the people should be dried up, and their fluids, as in a dried animal or plant, be carried off in vapour; but, pursuing the metaphor, his meaning is that they shall become as useless and unserviceable to the state, as the bed of a river when dried up. Their loyalty and attachment to the state, which are as essential to its existence and preservation, as water is to a river, shall be " dried up," or cease to be useful, and leave the empire incapable of defending itself against an invading enemy. By what means the Turkish empire shall be reduced to this lethargic and helpless state (an empire formerly distinguished for its enthusiastic loyalty,

One nation under anarcho-tyranny
The America you grew up in is not the America we live in now.
(Article by Michelle Malkin republished from WND.com)
One nation under God? Ha.
Land of the free? Ha.
Domestic tranquility? Ha.
Equal protection under the law? Ha.
The right to bear arms? Ha.
Freedom of speech? Association? Peaceable assembly? Ha. Ha. Ha.
It's not "socialism" or "communism" under which we suffer. Our dangerously chaotic, selectively oppressive predicament is more accurately described as "anarcho-tyranny." The late conservative columnist Sam Francis first coined the term in 1992 to diagnose a condition of "both anarchy (the failure of the state to enforce the laws) and, at the same time, tyranny – the enforcement of laws by the state for oppressive purposes."
The "criminalization of the law-abiding and innocent," Francis expounded, is achieved in such a state through: "exorbitant taxation, bureaucratic regulation; the invasion of privacy, and the engineering of social institutions, such as the family and local schools; the imposition of thought control through 'sensitivity training' and multiculturalist curricula; 'hate crime' laws; gun-control laws that punish or disarm otherwise law-abiding citizens but have no impact on violent criminals who get guns illegally; and a vast labyrinth of other measures."
The toxic combination of "pandemic panic" and "George Floyd derangement syndrome" has thoroughly destroyed the home of the brave. It is a paradise for the depraved and dictatorial.
Anarcho-tyranny is how hoodlums can toss statues into rivers with impunity, while citizens disgusted by Black Lives Matter street graffiti are charged with "hate crimes" – as David Nelson and Nicole Anderson in Martinez, California, were by a George Soros-funded district attorney two weeks ago.
Anarcho-tyranny is how rioters can shut down highways and byways on a whim without fear of arrest, while commuters trying to escape the window-smashing barbarians obstructing traffic are charged with "assault" – as poor Jennifer Watson of Denver, Colorado, was this week.
Anarcho-tyranny is how hordes of gay pride activists marching shoulder to shoulder can defy social distancing guidelines with gushing approbation from radical left-wing medical "experts," while anti-lockdown and anti-mask mandate protesters are deemed public health menaces who now face snitch hotlines, fines, house arrest or jail time.
Anarcho-tyranny is how 1,000 black militia members can take over the streets in Georgia and point their guns at motorists as they demand reparations, while white citizen militia members in Idaho, Utah and New Mexico have been smeared publicly as racists and face injunctions for peacefully defending their neighborhoods.
Where do the police stand in this regime? It pains me to say it, but those of us who have backed the blue so loyally and vocally can no longer do so under the assumption that the blue will back us.
It's rank-and-file cops who are issuing citations to citizens who want to breathe freely.
It's rank-and-file cops who are standing by while our monuments and courthouses and landmarks are burned and obliterated.
It was rank-and-file cops in Denver who watched as my patriotic friends and I tried to hold a Law Enforcement Appreciation Day this past Sunday and were besieged by Black Lives Matter and Antifa thugs who had declared that their sole intent in invading our permitted celebration was to "shut us down." I livestreamed the chaos as pro-police attendees were beaten, including the organizer, Ron MacLachlan, who was bloodied in the face and head just a few feet from me by black-masked animals. One Antifa actor wielded her collapsible baton just inches from me.
The cop-haters had obstructed traffic on their five-minute march from their unpermitted event at the Colorado State Capitol to our permitted space.
No cops intervened.
Unprovoked, the cop-haters blared airhorns, sprayed our faces (mine included), burned an American flag, punched, shoved and menaced and took over our stage.
The Denver police chief, Black Lives Matter champion Paul Pazen, has repeatedly and publicly blamed us – the law-abiding – for not having enough private security in place, even as he admitted that 76 officers have been injured by the "peaceful" agitators who have turned our capital into a heathen hellhole (and perpetrated more than $1 million in property damage so far).
If we had brandished or used our weapons in self-defense, we'd be facing felony assault charges – as armed citizen Steven Baca is in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the hands of another Soros-subsidized district attorney.
If any of our men had tried to peel the female Antifa thugs off of MAGA ladies who were assaulted, they'd be charged with battery, too – just like Baca.
On Tuesday morning, a Denver police union official called me to apologize for the department's failure to protect those of us who tried to speak on their behalf. The "backlash" for defending our constitutional rights was too high a price to pay, he told me. Sorry.
So the message is loud and clear. When push comes to bloody shove in end-stage America, under the rule of the anarcho-tyrants, we, the law-abiding, are the enemy. Those in uniform sworn to protect and serve will turn their backs on us because their bosses don't answer to the public. They protect and serve the mob.

I have long wanted to visit Cadair Idris but haven't done so yet (that's the story of my life, so many places, so little time/money!). Imagine how much busier it would have been with better weather?! I think a bit of low cloud can add some nice atmosphere to a walk.
Cadair Idris is on my list. Not sure when I will get there but its on the list!!!
I found it a tough walk.

"Rapid Assessment of Deep Retrofit System Solutions to Improve Energy E" by Amit Surana, Russell D. Taylor et al.
The paper describes the application of a methodology and tools for early assessment of integrated system solutions for deep retrofit with a potential of 30-50% energy reductions across large building portfolio as well as at an individual building scale using information only about building characteristics, usage type and climate. The building energy consumption is estimated using a simple building description, and then the impact of energy conservation measures (ECMs) are estimated individually and in combination as integrated system packages. We demonstrate the tool application with two types of cases from the Department of Defense (DoD) real property database. The results illustrate both statistical analysis of the potential for deep retrofits at DoD portfolio level, which comprises nearly 250,000 facilities in the U.S., and also for a few representative existing DoD buildings.

World Confederation for Physical Therapy – Press Release
WCPT Press release
World Physical Therapy Day 2017: Physical activity for life
All healthy adults need to be physically active, and globally, 26% of adults aged 18 and over are not active enough. This is the message from thousands of physical therapists across the world as they prepare to take part in World Physical Therapy Day on 8th September 2017.
Every year, World Physical Therapy Day allows individual physical therapists and WCPT member organisations to celebrate their contribution to global health. This year's event builds on the success of 2016, when thousands of physical therapists used the #worldptday hashtag on Twitter to unite events across the world.
Once again, World Physical Therapy Day is aligned with a World Health Organization (WHO) action plan. The World Health Organization has two classifications for physical activity: moderate, such as brisk walking or cycling, and vigorous, such as running or fast swimming.
However, global levels of inactivity have not been falling as quickly as they should. Physical activity, as part of day-to-day life, can improve cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular health and reduce the risk of conditions including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
"The evidence is unambiguous," says WCPT President Emma Stokes. "Being physically active is absolutely essential for health and wellbeing. It is also clear that this is a challenge for many people.
"Our lifestyles and the environments where we work, play and learn are not always conducive to being physically active. But there are lots of simple ways to incorporate physical activity into our busy lives. That's what World Physical Therapy Day is all about."
Exercise and physical activity are different things, so 'physical activity' can include household tasks and gardening, as well as dancing, running or cycling. With an advanced understanding of how to keep the body moving, physical therapists can help people across the world to integrate physical activity into daily life.
"In 2013, a global voluntary target was set by the World Health Assembly to reduce physical inactivity by 10% by 2025," says Emma Stokes. "But progress towards achieving this target has been slow."
"Across the world, more than a million physical therapists have an opportunity to educate, enable and empower people of all ages to increase their physical activity. Helping even ten people become more active will have a significant impact on global inactivity levels. So let's start as we mean to continue with World Physical Therapy Day."

Henning: Next icon
by Clay Cooper
Mr. Matthew Henning has entered the building after last year's retirement of the legendary science
teacher Mr. Mike Ballard. Ballard's shoes will be hard to fill, but with Henning's humor and experience, he just might have what it takes.
While in college, Henning switched his major many times, but when he finally took an education class, it was like a lightbulb lit up above his head. He realized teaching was his jam. It required a variety of interests he had, and finding a job like that is rare.
The 39 year old from Decorah Iowa, teaches Physics, Chemistry and Physical Science. He has two wishes for his first year: To make every student better thinkers, and for every student of his to pass his class.
"I am excited, very excited, about the opportunity I have to work with such an outstanding group of students. I have been pleasantly surprised by the degree of cooperation and respect I have encountered at PCM. I am looking forward to seeing great things from my PCM students." Henning said.
Henning has a method he likes to use to remember everyone's name by a certain date. After Sept. 10, if he pronounces a student's name incorrectly, he gives them a polished rock as a reward. He has done this to three students: Junior D.J. St. Pierre, freshman Jordan Simpson and freshman Turner Nearmyer.
St. Pierre said, "It was the best thing that has happened in my life and a kickstarter to my career in rock collecting."
Besides polishing rocks, Henning likes to play the banjo, fix old cars and do film photography.
He said, "If I had one superpower, it would have to be the ability to fly. I spend so much time walking down to the printer, and if I could just fly down to the printer, that would be awesome."

"For the first time, I decided to pick a word of the year for 2018. In mid-December, I went away for a couple of days and stayed in a hotel alone (insert hallelujah chorus here). I prayed and reflected on the past year - the things that were great and not so great - and dreamed of what the next year would bring. Through this process, there was a definite theme that can be summed up in one word (my word of the year) - INTENTIONAL.
As I reflected back on the previous year of a busy travel schedule and new job for my husband, a move to a new city, transitioning from working outside the home to being a stay-at-home mom and then back to working outside the home again, I realized that I was pretty much just moving through life on auto-pilot. I was in what some describe as "survival mode." And for that transitional season, it was necessary.
But this year, it was time to make a change - specifically in being INTENTIONAL with my TIME. And I'm convinced that I'm not alone.
"there's just not enough time in the day"
"I would love to _____ but we're just too busy"
"if only I had more time"
"this is just life with little ones"
Get started with the 7 day Reset Your To-Do List Guide.
As a society in general, we are chronically overscheduled. It's become acceptable, even praised, to crave and seek busyness. We've [mistakenly] equated busyness with our (and our children's) success, purpose, and social position.
But the Lord provided a finite amount of hours in the day. So, when I say, " I need more time," I'm basically telling him that his provision is insufficient. I've never consciously told God that he messed up when he only gave us 24 hours, but sometimes our family calendar and my perspective said otherwise. Yikes.
IF His provision of 24 hours is perfectly sufficient; THEN it's not the number of hours in a day that's the issue. It's the number of things I try to put in my day.
Most of us are probably familiar with Dave Ramsey's financial stewardship principle of telling every dollar where to go, and that to be financially successful you have to be intentional with your money, right?
I started to ask myself similar questions about my time... What is actually taking my time? Why are all these things on my list? Which things are really the most important based on my personal and my families core values? What would my life look like if embraced my limitations and learned to live intentionally with the 24 hours a day he provided?
So, I'm on a mission to RECLAIM my TIME so that I can CULTIVATE what matters most to me and my family and I would love for you to join us!
If you're done with the auto-pilot, survival mode, too busy feeling, get started by downloading the FREE 7 day "Reset Your To-Do List" guide. This is the first step in the process I used to move our family from an auto-pilot life to an intentional life.


On 19 – 21 September 2014, the Rehoboth Basters represented by Martin Dentlinger participated in the 4th New World Summit (NWS) 'the Stateless State'. The event took place in the Royal Flemish Theatre in Brussels.
The NWS is a forum that offers a unique mixture of art, culture and politics for organizations finding themselves unrepresented and excluded from political and democratic processes.
The concept of the NWS provides the participating Stateless States a free space to discuss the concepts and ideas about whether the current 'States' have adequate sovereignty and legitimacy to be able to provide their people(s) with self-determination in the 21st century.
Twenty stateless political organizations were invited to participate in the event at the Royal Flemish Theatre in Brussels. The three day event was organized around several topics: the oppressive state, the progressive state, the global state, new states and stateless states.
Martin Dentlinger shared the experiences of the Rehoboth Basters' struggle for greater self-determination and human rights as well as the general history of the Baster people with the audience. He explained about the problems regarding the land appropriation of the Baster as well as their activities to get the title to them back through diplomatic and juridical means.
Following his contribution a debate with the audience arose about the question how 'the children of a colony' can be seen as indigenous and how the idea of the 'Rainbow nation' is often used to exclude legitimate concerns about peoples' identity and legal status.
The provisional captain explained that the Rehoboth Basters' land was "illegally expropriated" by the Namibian Government. He further explained that the title to their land should be restored and that they should have control of their cultural background and be able to safeguard its transmission to further generations. Getting back the land would also allow the Basters to return to an equitable distribution of income and revenue.
Participation in the three day event allowed the Rehoboth Basters to express their situation and raise further awareness at an international level. Furthermore, it was an opportunity to meet various other representatives with shared visions and dreams which offered new avenues for future cooperation.
The event was co-organized by UNPO and together with the Captain's Council they will pursue all diplomatic and juridical opportunities to get the legitimate rights of the Basters on the political agenda.


Lost in The Hawk's basketball preview hoopla, the fall season at St. Joe's officially culminated with the final games for men's soccer and field hockey taking place last weekend, under vastly different circumstances.
Field hockey's season once again ended in the Atlantic 10 Championships, the ninth straight season the Hawks have qualified for the final four in the conference without taking home the title.
This year's culprit was cross-town rival and third-seeded Temple, who defeated the Hawks, 3-0, to finish their season. In the other semifinal, top-seeded Richmond defeated hosts Massachusetts, 2-1 in overtime, and triumphed over Temple in the title game, 3-0.
-The St. Joe's women's cross country team acquitted themselves well at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's Lid-Lifter Invitational, finishing third in the seven-team field. The University of Maryland took the overall win, followed by West Virginia, who are ranked number 2 in the country but rested their top nine runners for this meet.


Lectio Divina, a Stoic-adaptable Practice?
Lectio Divina is a spiritual practice which has its roots in the Christian tradition. It is a formalized process whereby the reader intentionally interacts with the texts in a way very different from the casual reader or even the typical student.
The four movements of Lectio Divina. Clockwise from top left: Lectio ("read"); Meditatio ("meditate"); Oratio ("pray"); Contemplatio ("contemplate").
To be fair, I am removing this practice from the context in which it was recorded. The needs of a Christian devotee and the needs of a practicing Stoic are not nondifferent. So, in the interests of intellectual integrity, will note that I'm changing things. I will be explicit about that when I do, and I will make a note in the title of the practice.
It is important to remember, that most of the core Stoic texts were not intended to be read.. Epictetus's Discourses as recorded by Arrian are a noting or paraphrasing of spoken lectures. The same being true for Musonius Rufus. Marcus's meditations were a private journal, also not meant for a sit-down reading by an audience. Seneca's Moral Letters were epistles, so that is also a different format than the modern is used to. Much of philosophical consumption would have happened aurally for the ancients.
Sitting and reading the Stoics as we might read a novel, or history, may not be the best way to consume the material. With that in mind, I began to look at other was of reading.
Lectio Divina has its roots in western monastic practices. I've seen some arguments that it was devised for a time when books were expensive and time-consuming to produce. Communal reading would be a logistical requirement, then, in that time and place. This has not been entirely lost, I spent some time at a monastery as young-teenager, and during meal time religious and ethical texts were read aloud by one of the brethren while the rest ate in silence and contemplation. This was, subjectively, very nice.
However, this logistical need changed as the culture changed. It became a private practice, of individual contemplation. This is the thing which most interests me, the interaction of the student with the text. Once the practice was formalized, some 900 years after its inception, it had four distinct parts. Read, meditate, pray, contemplate. Let's look at these each in turn.
Read: the practitioner, with a calm and tranquil mind, intentionally reads the the passage with the intent of having a higher level of understanding. Benedictines traditionally read slowly, and re-read four times. Each time, they focus on a different portion of the passage.
Mediate: Traditionally, this is not an analytical process, but one in which the reader is open to divine inspiration. Rather than parse the text, the reader opens to a frame of mind to experience the purpose of the text.
Pray: For the reader, a communication with God would follow.
Now, it is worth nothing that there are core differences for Stoics and Christians. Stoics do not view their texts as divinely inspired. Stoic texts are a product of reason, not revelation. The words of the classics are not the immutable laws of God given to man. They are the words of men, given to man.
There is an elephant in the room which needs to be addressed here. There is a divide in the Stoic community which tends to fall on theistic/deistic/atheistic/anti-theistic lines. I am interested in Stoic physics, and Stoic theology. so that sort of de facto places me into one of the camps, even though I find the partisanship odious.
It needs to be said however that the God of the Stoics is not the God of the Abrahamic faiths. It is not transcendent, but immanent. The Stoic God is not a' personality' hanging out in a place weighing the hearts of the dead against a feather (that's what happens, right? It's been a while for me…). The Stoic God is the cosmos. It is causation, the generative principle, the ordering force of the universe. It is reason, and the enlivening principle of the universe.
I don't claim to fully understand it, or even to say firmly that I believe it. I am willing to operate provisionally with the idea that it might be true, however, while I study it more.
That being said, if a Stoic were to pray outside of some other formal religion, I don't know what that would look like. Marcus has some ideas, as does Seneca. Seneca suggests we clap with children at the Saturnalia, or we might respond to a "Merry Christmas." Marcus suggests that if we were to petition God, it would be for virtue, not stuff or circumstances to our liking. A Christian, Greek Polytheist, or other specific theist may not have this problem.
I don't know what a Stoic prayer would look like; I'm pretty sure I'm not doing it however.
There is one school of thought that the ancients were advising us to engage in the pious actions of our society. Part of Socrates defense was that he was participating in the rites of his city, and not introducing foreign Gods to his people when he discussed the δαίμων. This, he evidenced, by his participation in all the rite and religious requirements of his day.
I'm not sure if that has relevance to us today. It would feel dishonest, or disrespectful for me to go to a church and do church-things for a group I didn't believe in. That feels like a lie. I do occasionally go with friends or family, but I only participate in the general portions, nothing specific or that implies an obligation or agreement on my part.
The three movements of Lectio Divina Stoica. Clockwise from top left: Lectio ("read"); Meditatio ("meditate"); Contemplatio ("contemplate").
I can do Seneca's thing however, take a greeting and return it in the spirit in which it was given. This has started to drift off topic, but what I am doing is laying the groundwork for altering the sections of the four-fold instruction for Lectio Divina.
My practice of what I will call Lectio Divina Stoica has three parts.
Reading the passage aloud or internally is acceptable. Meditate on the passage, analytically and with an idea for how it fits into the schema of Stoicism, and how it fits into human life. Contemplate, a silent experiential incorporating of the passage.
Begin by finding a quiet place. There is an intentionality to creating space and time for a practice of importance. This place could be outside or inside. It should be peaceful, and non-distracting. The goal here is to show a reverence for what we're doing.
Sit quietly, and with the eyes closed, begin to focus on the experience of the breath. Note the chest or stomach rising and falling. You can note this with a word if you like, "Rising, rising, rising. Falling, falling, falling." You could also make use of one of the meditations here. Allow this practice to clear and quiet the mind. A couple to several minutes maybe required. Once this is done, begin with the reading.
A passage is selected, you could use a Daily Reader (there are several available), or you could work through a Stoic text beginning to end, or you could pick one randomly. You may want to build a "handbook" of topical selections, and focus on one point of virtue, one point of practice, or any portion of our School in which you desire a deeper understanding. Slowly, aloud or internally as you prefer, read the text; focusing on the meaning of the words, and with attentive reverence, read. When a portion of the text stands out to you, or strikes a chord, or elicits a response of some sort, stop and reflect on it. You might highlight or underline the passage, make a note in the margin, or otherwise set it off as something of particular note.
Here, we may go over the passage again, looking for a deeper meaning to what is present.What is the meaning of the passage? How does it fit into our school? How does it help us train to virtue? What does the noting of the passage say about us, why are we noting this part now? Is it directly applicable to some part of our lives? Is it agreeable or disagreeable? Why? Will it change our practice? Does it change our understanding of virtue, of the cosmos, and our place in it? Do we agree or disagree with the text here?In short: What does the text say? What does the text say to me? What does it mean for our School? What does it change in my practice?
We quietly sit and rest in the message of the text. If outside, a quiet observation of nature would be appropriate. If inside, of ourselves, the process of reason and understanding. Sit in quietness, and appreciate the opportunity to learn, grow, and strive for human virtue.
This is beautiful—thanks for putting together a guide!
Personally, I do think the Stoics left us enough examples of prayers of gratitude that we could easily include the prayer step (and in a way that even atheistic Stoics could participate in, if they want to emphasize gratitude).
Doing so would turn every reading into a sort of gratitude exercise, however, which may not always make sense.
One slight point – I think "immanent" rather than "imminent" is meant?
There is a spelling error, thanks. It should be corrected now.
What about the hymn to Zeus? Isnt that stoic prayer?
It is. At this time of the writing, I was having a hard time grokking what Stoic prayer would look like, and I was avoiding writing about the issue because of that.


Scooter's 1184th bar, first visited in 2017.
Recently opened in a former costume store and an adjoining retail space that had been vacant for years. Half bar, half bike shop. Good rotating selection of draft and bottled craft beers.


And J&P Cycles is smack dab in the middle of it all, taking up a full city block in between the two busiest streets in town — that area residing between Main and Lazelle streets. Our huge store even spawned a satellite location a few years back in the form of a metric store to fill the growing needs of our metric customers.
Because the lot contains equipment from such well-known vendors as Vance and Hines, Drag Specialties, Rivera Primo, Bikers Choice, Kuryakyn, Memphis Shades, Airhawk, Legend Air Suspension and many more, we were forced to move our overflow products onto a second lot just a hop, skip and a jump down the street. Featuring K&N, National Cycles, Wicked Image and expert mechanics from Fix Cycles, we can handle all your motorcycle and installation needs at either location.
Between the normal hustle and flow of the rally this year — not that anything's "normal" at Sturgis —are two events that shouldn't be missed. As you may have seen on this very blog, Paul Jr., of Paul Jr. Designs (formerly of Orange County Choppers) has a new company and a new TV show, having announced his partnership with Biker Choice last month (see BREAKING NEWS: Paul Jr. is Back!). On Friday, Junior will unveil his newest creation on the J&P Cycles lot in what is sure to be an eye-opening event.
The largest happening this week is the 2010 AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building. To some in the bike community, this event flies under the radar, but this is where builders from across the globe come to test their mettle (and their metal), unveiling some of the most radically engineered machines on the planet. J&P Cycles is an official sponsor of the event and on Sunday, we took a peek at the entries for the freestyle, modified Harley, Production and Metric entries. We were not disappointed. Once again, the builders took their creative fabrication to a whole other level. Check back right here for complete coverage of the event as well as on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
John..So glad things are looking up. God does miracles, albeit might be through a doctor! Will continue praying for you, & for the donor family!
Will certaintly expect more "action" from you in the near future.
john, i hope your health continues to improve and that you will soon again be on your feet doing what you love to do. we had a family member with a similar ailment and they are doing fine. keep your chin up and remember we all care about you and your family! thats what the biker community is all about!!
We here at Kenny,s Cycles, are happy to hear that John is doing so well. We are looking forward to continue doing business with J&P, we have done business with you guys since 1994, when we lived in Iowa, Kenny is from Iowa, now we are in Texas. Our prayers are with you John and your family, Take care, GOD bless and keep you healthy, and happy. Sincerely, Rebecca and Kenneth Maas, dba Kenny,s Cycles.
We are so thankful to hear that John is out of the hospital, and is doing much better.We here at Kenny,s Cycles will continue to keep John in our prayers, and his family.Kenneth is from Iowa City, he and I always went to J&P Cycles when we still lived in Iowa to get all of our parts for our bikes. We moved here to Texas in 2002. You guys take care of each other, and May God Bless and Keep you. Sincerely, Rebecca and Kenneth Maas dba Kenny,s Cycles.
We'll be thinking about you, several of our friends and the other million people up there Patrick. Hope this year people felt they had to be there for the 70th! Best wishes.

Robbery crew arrested by Rocklin Police tied to multi-city crime spree including Elk Grove
http://www.elkgrovenews.net/2020/05/robbery-crew-arrested-by-rocklin-police.html
A five-member robbery crew was arrested in Rocklin that police investigators believe are tied to several crimes including some in Elk Grove
Leandre James Ward, 20, of Rancho Cordova, and four juvenile suspects were arrested on Sunday, May 3 for two recent robberies in Rocklin and Roseville.
The first robbery occurred on April 10 on the 2200 block of Sunset Boulevard in Rocklin when the four suspects assaulted a female victim in a parking lot and stole her purse. At the time of that robbery, Rocklin Police Department detectives tied that robbery to similar ones that happened in Elk Grove and Lincoln.
On Sunday, May 3 just before 2:30 p.m. the group staged another robbery, this time in Roseville. During this robbery, they attacked an elderly man and attempted to steal his wallet in the parking lot of the 400 block of Roseville Square.
Responding officers were able to locate their vehicle and officers took five suspects into custody. Ward and four juveniles were arrested for robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.
The only adult, Ward, was booked at the South Placer Jail. The four juveniles were booked at the Placer County Juvenile Hall.
The Elk Grove crime where the five suspects may have been involved in is ongoing and details cannot be released at this time.

Ex. LAC Yogesh Pathania Vs. Union of India & Ors.
[I.A. No. 1/2016 in Civil Appeal D. No. 14214 of 2016]
Hemant Gupta, J.
1. The present appeal under Section 30 read with Section 31 of the Armed Forces Tribunal Act, 2007 (for short "the Act") along with IA No. 1 of 2016 seeking leave to appeal arises out of an order passed by the Armed Forces Tribunal, Chandigarh, Regional Bench at Chandimandir (for short 'Tribunal') in OA (Appeal No. 324 of 2010) on 06.08.2015.
2. The appeal before the Tribunal was directed against the findings and the sentence awarded by District Court Martial (for short 'DCM') on 01.02.2010 confirmed on 09.03.2010 and also against rejection of his statutory complaint under Section 161 (2) of the Air Force Act, 1950 by the Chief of Air Staff. The DCM was initiated on account of an incident on the intervening night of 22.05.2009 and 23.05.2009 wherein a breach of good order of Air Force discipline was created by Module II airmen trainees attached to NTTI and Accounts Conversion Course trainees in the TV Room, over the change of TV channel on 22.05.2009 between 2150 hrs to 2210 hrs.
3. The incident pertaining to the disciplinary proceedings against the appellant happened after 2240 hrs in Dakota 'A' Block and at the main gate. A Court of Inquiry was conducted followed by summary of evidences. Thereafter the appellant was tried by DCM on seven charges of misconduct. The DCM has found the appellant guilty of charge nos. 3, 5 and 7 which read as under:
"3. Under Section 40 (c) Air Force Act, 1950 for using insubordinate language to his superior officer; in that he, at 405 Air Force Station on 22 May 2009 when checked by 647216 MWO ML Ranwan Cat Asst regarding bellowing of whistle in the billets, said to him, "MAINE KOI WHISTLE NAHI BAJAYA HAI, APKO JO KARNA HAI KARLO AUR AAP MERA KUCH NAHI KAR SAKTE or words to that effect.
5. Under Section 40(a) Air Force Act, 1950 for using criminal force to his superior officer, in that he, at 405 Air Force Station between 2230 hrs and 2345 hrs on 22 May 2009 used criminal force to 672315 WO Agar Singh Eqpt Asst by pushing the said WO Agar Singh from back.
7. Under Section 65 Air Force Act, 1950 for an act prejudicial to good order and Air Force Discipline. In that he, at 405 Air Force Station during intervening night of 22 May 2009 and 23 May 2009, improperly provoked a group of Module-II trainees of intake 02/09 which assembled at Main Guard Room and who were shouting slogans such as "WE WANT CI, "TUM APANA HAATH NICHE RAKHO", "HUM TUMKO KUCH NAHAI BATAYANGE," "CI IS COMING FROM BANGALORE OR WHAT, WHY IS HE TAKING THIS MUCH TIME," "CI KO BULAO", "CI NAHIN TO AOC-IN-C KO BULAO," "CI KO BULAYENGE," "STATION COMMANDER KO BULAYENGE," "C-IN-C KO BHI BULAYENGE," or words to that effect."
4. Before DCM, the prosecution examined 14 witnesses, whereas the appellant examined 3 witnesses in defence. After examining the evidence on record, the appellant was given punishment of rigorous imprisonment for five months and also an order of dismissal from service was passed. Such punishment was confirmed on 09.03.2010 subject to modification of punishment of rigorous imprisonment being reduced to a period of two months. It is thereafter a statutory complaint was filed which was also dismissed.
5. The Tribunal, in appeal under Section 15 of the Act, examined the evidence led by the parties and found no error in the findings recorded by DCM and consequently dismissed the appeal. It is, thereafter, the present appeal with an application for permission to file appeal has been preferred.
6. The background of the incident is that on 22.05.2009, there was verbal fight with use of abusive language between Accounts Conversion Course trainees and Module II airmen trainees in the TV Room, over the change of TV channel. Squadron Duty Officer (Sgt BP Singh) and Orderly 3 Officer (JWO JA Rana) got the TV room closed to avoid further fight amongst the trainees. The LAC S. Santra, sensing the possibility of further fight between the two groups of the trainees, informed the situation to WO Agar Singh. WO Agar Singh in turn informed MWO M. L. Ranwan (Cat Asst, Asst Flt Cdr Catering Faculty), who directed Agar Singh and other two faculty instructors - Sgt A K Yadav and Sgt D Pradeep to the scene of disturbance - Dakota 'A' Block. On reaching to the scene of disturbance Dakota 'A' Block they found the trainees hooting, shouting and yelling, whistling and creating nuisance after the lights out time.
7. The allegations against the appellant are that he misbehaved with the senior officers when they visited Dakota 'A' Block. The learned Tribunal found that in respect of charge no. 3, there is direct evidence of PW1 M. L. Ranwan, PW2 S. Santra, PW8 D. Pradeep, PW9 A.K. Yadav and PW11 Agar Singh to prove misconduct. The Tribunal found that as per the admission of the appellant himself, he had few drinks that day. Further, the Tribunal found in respect of charge no. 5, that there is direct evidence of PW2 S. Santra, PW8 D. Pradeep, PW9 A.K. Yadav and PW11 Agar Singh, though with minor variations, but such statements confirmed the involvement of the appellant in use of criminal force to Warrant Officer Agar Singh PW 11, when he was being hit by LAC Ritudhaj Accounts Assistant. Similarly, in respect of charge no. 7, the Tribunal found that there is direct evidence of PW1 M. L. Ranwan, PW3 B.P. Singh, PW4 Cpl Arun Yadav, PW5 I. J. Singh, PW6 P. Padhi, PW8 D. Pradeep, PW9 A. K. Yadav, PW10 Sqn Ldr Samrat Pal Chaudhary, PW11 4 Agar Singh, PW12 Dheeraj Dalal and DW3 J. Kumar that the appellant was present in the unruly crowd consisting mainly of Module-II trainees and leading them while in transit to and at the main guard room. DW2 Harvinder confirmed that the appellant was standing near ICICI ATM.
8. Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the evidence of the prosecution witnesses has not been taken into consideration by the Tribunal in proper manner and in fact has been misread. The learned counsel for the appellant relies upon the statements of PW 2 Santra, PW 8 D. Pradeep and PW12 Dheeraj Dalal to contend that the statements of such witnesses do not prove the allegation of whistling by the appellant. It is argued that PW12 Dheeraj Dalal Accounts Assistant of 408 Air Force Station was declared hostile. The witness was examined to prove the charge no. 2 that is the appellant "at 405 Air Force Station at about 2245h, on 22.05.2009, improperly caused disturbance by whistling at A- 9 billet".
9. We do not find any merit in such argument as charge No. 2 has not been found proved by the DCM. Therefore, the statement of PW12 Dheeraj Dalal cannot be relied upon by the appellant so as to disapprove the findings recorded by DCM on charge nos. 3, 5 or 7.
10. It is argued that the appellant was slapped by WO Agar Singh. Such stand is sought to be corroborated from the statements of DW2 LAC Harvinder and DW3 J. Kumar. DW2 LAC Harvinder has deposed that around 2300 hours he was talking to his brother on his mobile while standing near staircase of A-9 Billet when he saw WO Agar Singh slapping the appellant. He heard the voices coming from the ground floor stating 'Fall-in at Guard Room' after about 10-15 minutes. In the cross examination he stated that he has seen WO Agar Singh giving one slap to the appellant. He also deposed that when Sqn Ldr Chaudhary asked something from the appellant, the response of the appellant was "Maine do peg piya hai". On the other hand, DW3 deposed that WO Agar Singh slapped the appellant four times on his left cheek by his right hand. He admits that the trainees while going towards main gate were shouting "we want CI, CI nahi to STN CDR ko bulao, STN CDR nahi to C-IN-C ko bulao". He admits that he was also shouting these slogans. He admits that he pleaded guilty before DCM for using insubordinate language to MWO ML Ranwan and for leading the mob and shouting slogans. He wanted to meet CI as the appellant was slapped by WO Agar Singh.
11. PW11 Agar Singh was cross-examined on the question of manhandling of the appellant but he, categorically, denied the same. In fact, he deposed that the appellant pushed him from behind, whereas LAC R. Rathee Accounts Assistant slapped him on his left cheek. The statement of the witness is that the appellant has consumed liquor because he was smelling and his speech and behaviour was not good. The witness asked the appellant as to whether he has taken drink. The reply of the appellant was that not only he but everybody had taken drinks then why he alone being questioned. PW 11 Agar Singh stated that he held the left arm of the appellant and moved 2-3 steps towards the billet and told the appellant to go to billet. But the appellant sat on cement lid of drainage after moving 5-6 meters. He again held his left 6 arm and told him to go to billet but he did not go.
In the cross examination, he denied that he pushed the appellant, he deposed that he held his hands, as he was under the influence of liquor. He denied the suggestion that he slapped the appellant. The question as to whether WO Agar Singh has given slaps to the appellant is a question of fact. The learned Tribunal has examined the statements of the witnesses to upheld the charge nos. 3, 5 and 7 as proved. Thus, the stand of the appellant that he was slapped is not made out from the evidence on record. The Tribunal has re-appreciated the evidence and concurred with the findings of the DCM.
12. We have appreciated the evidence, even though, the Tribunal has recorded a finding of fact in respect of misconduct alleged against the appellant. We find that the view taken by the Tribunal is a plausible view and therefore does not warrant any interference in appeal in terms of jurisdiction vested in this Court under Sections 30 and 31 of the Act. Sections 30(1) and 31(1) of the Act read as under: -
"30. (1) Subject to the provisions of Section 31, an appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court against the final decision or order of the Tribunal (other than an order passed under Section 19): Provided that such appeal is preferred, within a period of ninety days of the said decision or order: Provided further that there shall be no appeal against an interlocutory order of the Tribunal. ........ ........ ........
31. (1) An appeal to the Supreme Court shall lie with the leave of the Tribunal; and such leave shall not be granted unless it is certified by the Tribunal that a point of law of general public importance is involved in the decision, or it appears to the Supreme Court that the point is one which ought to be considered by that Court. ........ ........ ........"
13. In terms of Section 31 of the Act, an appeal to this Court is maintainable with the leave of the Tribunal and such leave can be granted on the ground "that a point of law of general public importance" or "it appears to the Supreme Court that the point is one which ought to be considered by that Court". The point on which this Court will exercise jurisdiction is a point of law of general public importance. We do not find that any point of law of general public importance is involved which may warrant grant of leave to the appellant. Consequently, I.A.No.1 of 2016 along with Civil Appeal is dismissed.

Q: Разница между $form_state['input'] и $form_state['values'] Массив $form_state содержит в себе  $form_state['input']  и $form_state['values']. Часто эти элементы не отличаются, иногда отличаются по структуре, иногда даже значения разные. Когда и почему это происходит и зачем придумали два элемента, когда они часто полностью одинаковы?
Что лучше использовать?

A: $form_state['input'] - это данные с массива $_POST или $_GET который пришел на сервер в запросе.
Это узнать можно следующим образом. Идем в класс
Drupal\Core\Form\FormBuilder

и смотрим метод buildForm(). В нем вы можете увидеть вот такую строку
$input = $form_state->isMethodType('get') ? $request->query->all() : $request->request->all();
$form_state->setUserInput($input);

$request - объект класса Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request,  формирируеться в методе
Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request::createFromGlobals();

$form_state['values'] - это уже измененные данные которые формируються на основе $form_state['input']  и #default_value
Вся магия происходит в
Drupal\Core\Form\FormBuilder::handleInputElement();

До момента создания value для определенного поля уже происходят валидации всех полей и самой формы. Для каждого поля можна указать
#value_callback

это функция которая должна возвращать значение которое будет записано в поле в $form_state['values']

Для примера можно расмотреть поле Taxonomy term, при создании материала вы можете вывести это поле с помощью Select. Потом добавить к форме кастомную функцию на сабмит и в ней брать значение поля с $form_state['input'], там у вас будет строка term_id и на основе этого значения исполнять свою логику.
Но вот кто то зашел и изменил тип поля с Select на Autocomplete и все, работать ваша кастомная функция больше не будет, потому что поле в $form_state['input'] будет иметь уже значение не строку с term_id, а строку вида term_name (term_id).
Зато это же поле в $form_state['values'] в обоих случаях будет массивом вида
$field_term = [
                0 => ['target_id' => 13],
                1 => ['target_id' => TERM_ID],
              ]

В зависимости от того сколько значений позволено выбирать столько и будет елементов в массиве. Но его структура никогда не измениться. И если будет нужно этот массив вы можете просто сразу сохранять
$node->taxonomy_term->setValue($field_term)

Не нужно обрабатывать это значение, оно уже в нужном формате.
В этом и есть отличие values от input. values не зависит от того в каком формате поле выводиться, оно всегда с помощью например #value_callback приводиться в один формат и вы можете спокойно писать свой функционал и не бояться что изменят например формат.
Если это кастомная форма и вам нужно подготовить поле к сохранению тогда делайте это в #value_callback. Так же не нужно изменять $form_state['input']

Liquidation is the rule in retail. Traditional liquidation methods like selling distressed inventory to one or two liquidators will always leave money on the table. Over time, this can add up to millions of dollars lost. The ability to recoup value from every aspect of the business is crucial; this includes liquidation, especially in today's competitive environment.
When it comes to leveraging an online auction liquidation solution, it's not one-size-fits-all. Customized strategies must be applied depending on the product being sold, the condition, and expectations of the retailer. One of these strategies is B-Stock's Low Price Auction Strategy (LPAS) where sellers purposely set a low starting price to entice early and multiple bids from our network of buyers.
B-Stock provides customized strategies for each retailer depending on a few things, including: the product(s) being sold, the condition and quantity of the product, and expectations of the client. We have learned that certain strategies work across different categories and marketplaces. One of these proven strategies includes setting a low opening bid.
The lower start price strategy works across clients, product categories and lot sizes. Here are two examples.
After years of starting auction prices based on a percentage of final pricing expectations, the B-Stock team advised a Fortune 500 e-commerce retailer to drop the auction start price to $100. By applying LPAS, the retailer saw an 80% increase in bidders, which lead to a 30% increase in pricing.
A major apparel retailer that had been selling pallets of merchandise through its B2B liquidation marketplace. When B-Stock advised lowering the auction start prices to $100 (in some cases, that was more than a 90% decrease), the lower start price generated 27 times more first time bidders than the higher start prices. Since implementing LPAS, the client has achieved 33% over target pricing.

This Monday's report from Oxfam, spell out am alarming jump in the level of inequality in the global economy. as the richest billionaires cash in. which has Mainly tilted in into the pockets of the richest billionaires. If anything does, this is what spells out the need for major change to build a just society.
What is being seen in the global economy, is being replicated in national economies.
Billionaires have never had it better. The combined riches of the world's 26 most wealthy billionaires total $1.4 trillion — this is equal to the total wealth of the bottom 3.8 billion of the world's population.
The report says that the top one percent has increased their wealth by 12 percent this year, while at the same time, the wealth of the poorest half of the world has fallen by 11 percent.
This consolidation is happening at a rapid rate even for the billionaire class, which according to the report has doubled in size since the 2008 financial crisis. In 2016, there were 61 billionaires who controlled half of the world's wealth. In 2017 the number of billionaires was 43. In 2018, it became 26.
What is being seen in the global economy is being replicated in national economies.
In the United States, the richest one percent took 26.3 times the bottom 99 percent in 2015, according to a report by Economic Policy Institute (EPI). The trend has continued. By contrast, wages grew by only 0.2 percent in the last year. The same report says that much of the benefit is going to the one percent. Wealth is being concentrated at the very top.
This is what has prompted newly elected Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to raise her proposal for a 70 percent marginal tax rate on the super wealthy and explains why there an explosion of popularity for it has been.
A recent poll showed that 59 percent of Americans supported the idea.
It is not only in the United states where this widening divide is building.
Oxfam Australia has called on tax reform, because the same divide is growing here too.
According to its findings, 43 billionares are worth $160 billion between them, and the top one percent, has more wealth than the bottom 70 percent combined.
"Oxfam Australia is concerned there is no end in sight to this harmful trend that is concentrating ever more wealth in the hands of the already rich and powerful," said the charity's chief executive Helen Szoke.
Perhaps the 70 percent tax on the super-rich should be raised in Australia as well?
