This Time Baby (A Tom Moulton Mix)
Party Time Man (A Tom Moulton Mix)
The Futures
My Love Don't Come Easy (A Tom Moulton Mix)
Jean Carn
Nights Over Egypt (A Tom Moulton Mix)
Not just limited Defected releases, D-Store is branching out to become your new favourite record shop.
The legendary partnership of NYC's Disco godfather Tom Moulton and Philadelphia International Records has long been documented. A truly explosive collaboration that yielded endless classic tracks for dancers and deep listeners alike, Moulton seemed to be totally in tune with the labels output and the direction it should go in. Luckily we've been enjoying the fruits of this labour for the last 30+ years with a lot of these PIR classics becoming ingrained in the psyche of the modern day music fan as the building blocks of House music.
The names alone hark to the legendary voices of the era, major stars including The O'Jays, The Futures, Jean Carne & The Jones Girls all feature with classic after classic getting the TJM treatment. Moulton's supreme ear on this special PIR reissue 2 x 12" see's some all-time classics from the aforementioned artists in their full, unabridged, unedited Disco glory. The selections on this EP are absolutely top-shelf, flawless in fact. One could argue that these are the 'definitive' versions of these anthems. Pure Disco gold essentials. Anyone with even a passing interest in Disco will most certainly need this record in their possession, the 2012 pressing of this EP is super in demand among those in the know and it can change hands for £100+ second hand, so a repress was desperately needed.
These tracks are fully licensed and reissued in conjunction with Tom Moulton and PIR and all relevant rights holders. Remastered from original source materials to the highest spec and pressed onto top quality vinyl, courtesy of Above Board distribution for 2019.

Words have power. Power makes you stronger and more independent. When you can communicate with words and language, both verbal and non-verbal, then other people know how to respond to your requests.
Emotions are triggers for our needs, met and unmet. By naming and claiming the true emotion, we can ask for what we need. Others are then empowered to help us find solutions.
of communication with each other and specifically with children. It is always a joy to watch adults learn to name their emotions and express what they need from others.
Most of us go through life knowing when we feel bad, but not really knowing how to describe the feelings to someone else. Just like an angry volcano going off, it usually starts way down inside from some unnamed, unmet need and we explode rather than determine what is really bothering us.
Words shape our society. The use of words shape our politics, shopping habits and belief systems. Many of us have become desensitized and close-minded to the words we here. While this is a protective system from overwhelm, it is not good when we don't listen with our heart to our children.
As mature adults, it is our responsibility to teach our children to express what it is they really want. What do they need to feel whole again? By teaching them a vocabulary of emotions, we are not giving them permission to examine and announce every little twinge of emotion,looking for validation and attention.
We are saying it is okay to feel upset or happy or any of the thousands of other emotions and to look internally at what you really need. When we ignore or downplay our emotional needs, they don't go away. They simply pop up in unexpected and sometimes inappropriate ways.
As you go through the list of "upset words" and "happy words" with your family, can you think of a time when you felt that emotion? Then can you reflect on what you needed right then? What would have brought you back into balance?
Listen to your children, without putting words in their mouths. You may have to describe or explain what the specific word means. Do not feel that you are talking above their level of consciousness. They will absorb what they need to comprehend and gain a deeper understanding. When they hear the word again, it will strike a familiar chord and it will eventually be added to their vocabulary. Please see the trilogy of my books called Raising Smart & Kind Kids to gain an understanding of the power of talking with your children.
We all need to understand that there are many varying degrees of upset feelings that can be expressed in way that makes communication easier. It is empowering to be able to name your feelings. When you can accurately describe how you feel, then others can assist you in finding solutions.
abandoned, accused, angry, annoyed, aggravated, alienated, ,alone, anxious, bored, confused, defeated, disconnected, difficult, disappointed, discouraged, disgusted, disrespected, doubt, embarrassed, frightened, frustrated, guilty, hate, hopeless, hurt inadequate, incapable, left out, miserable, put down, panicked, petrified, rejected, sad, stupid, unfair, unhappy, unloved, worried, worthless.
Just as there are varying degrees of upset feelings, there are just as many different words to describe happy emotions. When you use the right words, then people know and understand where you are coming from and how to connect with you on a deeper level.
Affectionate, confident, engaged, inspired, grateful, peaceful, excited, joyful, delighted, pleased, accepted, amused, appreciated, better, capable, comfortable, confident, encouraged, enjoy, excited, glad, good grateful, great, happy, hopeful, joyful, loved, pleased, proud, relieved, respected, satisfied, silly, fulfilled and content.
Were you surprised at some of the emotions that came up when you recalled a specific incident that made you feel abandoned, unappreciated or even proud and respected?
Can you see how using the correct name for an emotion will help you and your child to gain clarity in what is really needed to return to balance?
Will you set a commitment to name your emotions using upset words and happy words?
Thank you for doing such an important job with the children of the world. Be sure to claim your free book on the use of encouraging words at http://www.UseEncouragingWords.com You will be glad you did.

Public invited to peek into Peterlee's past
Mar 12, 2020 | Local News
The powerful past and the distinct present of a County Durham structure will be the focus of a special talk, open to the public.
Durham County Record Office will host its Third Thursday Talk titled, In Search of the Future – The Peterlee Archives, on Thursday 19 March from 6.30pm to 8pm.
This session will see community arts officer Colin Robson from Durham County Council open up Peterlee's past.
Colin holds a special fascination for the Apollo Pavilion, and has used the archives at County Hall to learn more about the structure for professional and personal interest.
Colin said: "Peterlee was built as a New Town, so its origins belong to a very specific moment in post-war reconstruction. It represented an aspirational idea of the future, rooted in a particular set of ideas about community and place.
"My first encounter with Peterlee some 15 years ago involved a visit to the Apollo Pavilion, a large Brutalist-style sculpture sat at the centre of Sunny Blunts housing estate.
"In the process of planning a series of arts projects with the community in Peterlee, Durham County Record Office has provided an invaluable resource of information and inspiration. I've found that looking into the past offers ways of seeing other future possibilities."

Federal spending near record levels in Canadian history
Appeared in the Hamilton Spectator, January 28, 2019
Fiscal prudence is a key aspect of any prime minister's legacy. The choice to increase the size and role of government (i.e. increasing spending) almost always comes at the expense of larger deficits, mounting debt and/or tax increases. Unfortunately, the federal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has ignored these consequences and is spending at unprecedented levels outside of war or recession.
A recent Fraser Institute study compared per person program spending (inflation-adjusted) by each Canadian prime minister since 1870, providing historical context for program spending and demonstrating that the current government is spending at one of the highest levels in Canadian history.
During Prime Minister Stephen Harper's last year in office, program spending was budgeted to reach $263.2 billion. This meant per person spending (again, after adjusting for inflation) would be $7,727 in 2015. However, Prime Minister Trudeau immediately increased spending after winning the election in late-2015 and spending grew to $8,117 per person, an increase of more than five per cent in less than six months.
The Trudeau government then ramped up spending even more in 2016, as per person spending reached $8,396. In 2018/19, federal spending is projected to reach $320.2 billion or $8,639 per person. This represents an increase of almost 12 per cent in real per person spending.
For context, the Harper government during the 2009 recession recorded the all-time high level of per person program spending ($8,711). In other words, the Trudeau government is projected to spend only $72 less per person than the all-time high, which was recorded during a deep global recession.
Moreover, federal spending would have been higher had the government delivered on its infrastructure spending commitment. Consistent delays in executing infrastructure spending have increasingly deferred such spending into the 2020s. For instance, Budget 2018 moved $3.6 billion of short-term infrastructure spending to future years. So this government's record level of per person spending (outside of recession or war) would likely have reached an all-time high if it had delivered on its infrastructure spending promises.
There are two problems (among many) to consider. First and perhaps most obvious is the risk to federal finances of a recession. Revenues decline and spending increases automatically during a recession, before governments take any discretionary actions. On average, Canada has experienced a recession roughly every eight-and-a-half years, and with the last recession recorded in 2008-09, the risks of a recession this year or next are real. Indeed, equity markets are signalling as much now.
An analysis of the potential effects of a recession on federal finances released in 2018 indicated that the annual deficit could easily reach more than $42 billion depending on the depth of the recession and the government response. Given that the Department of Finance currently expects deficits to persist until 2040, a recession this year, given the current deficit, could weigh on public finances for the foreseeable future.
Beyond the risks of deteriorating public finances from over-spending during times of economic growth, there's also the real question of what benefits Canadians receive from this near-unprecedented level of spending. The same Department of Finance report expects future economic growth to remain below the average levels of the recent past. And as a number of reports have shown, business investment by both Canadians and foreigners is collapsing.
Simply put, the Trudeau government has voluntarily increased spending to a level not seen outside of recession or large-scale military conflict. The risks to current and future federal finances are significant and the benefits to Canadians are not readily apparent.

Florida Congressman Radel gets probation on cocaine charge
Gabriel Debenedetti
Reuters November 20, 2013
By Gabriel Debenedetti
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Florida Congressman Henry "Trey" Radel pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of possession of cocaine in D.C. Superior Court on Wednesday and was sentenced to one year of probation.
Radel, 37, a Republican who was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives last year with the backing of the conservative Tea Party movement, was charged after buying 3.5 grams of cocaine in Washington's Dupont Circle neighborhood on October 29 in the presence of an undercover agent, the government said.
"Your honor, I apologize for what I've done," Radel told Judge Robert Tignor during the sentencing hearing. In an earlier statement, Radel said his "struggles with alcoholism" had led him to make an "extremely irresponsible choice."
"I am so sorry to be here. I know I have let my constituents down, my country down and, most importantly, my family, including my wife and my 2-year-old, who doesn't know it yet," Radel told Tignor in court. Radel added that he would enter a drug treatment program in Florida.
After his court appearance, Radel did not respond to reporters' shouted questions about whether he intended to resign from the House of Representatives.
The case against Radel stemmed from an investigation by Federal Bureau of Investigation and Drug Enforcement Administration agents into cocaine trafficking in the Washington area, Assistant U.S. Attorney Nihar Mohanty said.
"Today's guilty plea emerges from a broader narcotics investigation that brought to light information that a sitting member of Congress was routinely using and buying cocaine," U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen Jr. said in a statement.
Court papers indicate that Radel, who has described himself on Twitter as a "hip-hop conservative," met an acquaintance and the undercover officer at a Dupont Circle restaurant at 10 p.m. on October 29. Radel told the pair that he had cocaine in his apartment, the court documents say, and he invited them to the apartment to share the drug.
They declined, and the undercover agent offered to sell Radel more cocaine, the papers say. Radel agreed and gave them $260. After they retrieved the cocaine from the acquaintance's vehicle, Radel was approached by officers and dropped the cocaine on the ground. He then invited them to his apartment and surrendered another vial of cocaine, the court papers say.
Radel's attorney, David Schertler, asked for six months of probation for Radel, who under Washington, D.C., law faced up to 180 days in prison and a fine of up to $1,000. Tignor ordered him to pay a $250 fine and serve one year of probation, a typical sentence for a first offender in Washington.
If Radel had been caught in his home state of Florida buying an equal amount of cocaine he could have faced felony charges that could have resulted in a prison sentence.
However, first-time offenders like Radel "are generally allowed to participate in a Drug Court, where they receive outpatient treatment for a year and then the charges are dismissed," said David Weinstein, a former Florida state prosecutor.
Schertler said that Radel had been in out-patient treatment in Washington, and would enter an in-patient facility in Naples, Florida.
In Collier County, Florida, which Radel represents in Congress, Democrats called for Radel's resignation and accused him of hypocrisy for, among other things, opposing the legalization of medical marijuana and advocating drug testing for welfare recipients.
"Congressman Trey Radel's conduct is an embarrassment to his district and to the state of Florida," Scott Arceneaux, executive director of the Florida Democratic Party, said in a statement.
Lenny Curry, chairman of Florida's Republican Party, said, "I'm deeply disappointed in Congressman Radel's choices. I am glad that he is seeking help."

Upon the completion of the Call Toward Tomorrow work groups, there was an urge to create a student component that would improve the day-to-day functions of UST's student organizations.
This upcoming Tuesday, September 25th, will be UST's next "Conversation with the Community" in Jones Hall. My hope is that, as always, the forum will offer us a chance to have a vibrant dialogue around the topics that impact us all. To engage us as one community of Celts, working toward a common purpose.
The five priorities and eighteen goals of the planning process, and some of the metrics that will be used to measure our success.
As the UST community comes together and focuses on our shared future, it is important that we maintain transparency in our projects and processes. Because of that, and because I am just generally excited about it, I would like to take a moment to share an update with you. The Call Toward Tomorrow planning process is in full swing, and significant progress has been made as we look to the future of this great Catholic university.
See a copy of The Call Toward Tomorrow UST Integrated Planning presentation made during the Strategic Thinking Oversight Committee Meeting on February 12, 2018.
It has been some time since we reported on The Call Toward Tomorrow integrated planning process. When last semester ended the 30-plus member Oversight Committee had completed work on the internal operational and spiritual core values and the 100-year core purpose. These were framing pieces that were built upon the University's Catholic identity and mission statement, Basilian values and motto.


The Canadian Securities Administrators announced amendments to National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations, National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees and National Instrument 41-101 General Prospectus Requirements pertaining to continuous disclosure and governance obligations of venture issuers (collectively, the "Amendments").
The Amendments, which were originally proposed in May of 2014, are designed to focus disclosure of venture issuers on information that reflects the needs and expectations of venture issuer investors and eliminate disclosure obligations that may be less valuable to investors. The Amendments are also intended to streamline the disclosure requirements for venture issuers to allow management to focus on the growth of their business. The Amendments also include enhancements to the governance requirements of venture issuers.
A summary of the Amendments is set out below.
The Amendments provide venture issuers with the option of meeting the requirement to provide interim management's discussion & analysis in respect of a financial year beginning on or after July 1, 2015, by instead preparing "quarterly highlights". The quarterly highlights would include an analysis of the issuer's financial condition, financial performance and cash flows and any significant factors that have caused period to period variations in those measures; known trends, risks or demands; major operating milestones; commitments or uncertainties that have materially affected the issuer's operations, liquidity and capital resources in the interim period or are reasonably likely to do so going forward; any significant changes from disclosure previously made about how the issuer was going to use proceeds from any financing and an explanation of variances; and any significant transactions between related parties that occurred in the interim period.
Venture issuers now have the option of preparing their annual executive compensation disclosure using a new Form 51-102F6V Statement of Executive Compensation – Venture Issuers (the "Optional Venture Issuer Form") instead of Form 51-102F6 Statement of Executive Compensation ("Form 51-102F6").
under the Optional Venture Issuer Form, there is no requirement to calculate and disclose grant date fair value of stock options and other share-based awards in the summary compensation table.
The Amendments also clarify that for financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2015, venture issuers will be required to file executive compensation disclosure within 180 days after the end of the issuer's most recently completed financial year, while non-venture issuers will be required to file such disclosure within 140 days after their financial year-end.
Consistent with the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange, venture issuers will be required to have an audit committee composed of at least three directors, a majority of whom cannot be executive officers, employees or control persons of the venture issuer or an affiliate of the venture issuer. The audit committee composition requirements are subject to certain exceptions, such as for events beyond the control of the issuer and for the death, incapacity or resignation of an audit committee member. These obligations will apply to venture issuers in respect of financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2016.
The Amendments will reduce the circumstances in which a venture issuer will be required to file a business acquisition report ("BAR"), as the significance threshold for the BAR requirement has been increased from 40% to 100% for venture issuers.
The Amendments reduce the number of years of historical audited financial statements required in a venture issuer's initial public offering prospectus from three to two years.


There is some benefit to ID if even parts of the YEC hypothesis are confirmed, the most notable example right now is Sanford and Cos work which was presented at the Cornell Conference. In a previous thread, I discussed the distant starlight problem is a thorn in the side of YEC.
There are some experiments that have indirect bearing on the question YEC. Any experiment that may enable us to augment existing physics, particularly Einstein's relativity and Maxwell's equations is good for YEC, and thus possibly good for ID. But Einstein's relativity and Maxwell's equations have numerous experimental proofs ( unlike Darwinism). Much of the high tech world works because of Maxwell's equations, and Einstein's special relativity is consequence of Maxwell's equations.
But does space contain a substance (the Aether wind) that can be sensed as we move through it (like we can sense the air)? A famous experiment over 120 years ago suggested the answer is "no", but a recent experiment suggests the answer is "yes" and this may force a change in our understanding of Einstein's relativity and Maxwell's equations.
The experiment 120 years ago is called the Michelson-Morley experiment. It attempted to sense the Earth's velocity by sensing our movement through the Aether. The experiment was supposed to detect our movement through space around the sun at a speed of around 29.7 km/s, it did not, Michelson-Morley's speedometer read zero! Thus Michelson did not find the Aether he earnestly sought, and with a broken heart, he accepted the Nobel prize in recognition for his failure to find the Aether. Ah, the irony!
His paper is a tough read partly because it was translated into English from Russian and partly because of the technical nature of the work.
Technical criticisms are welcome, but please be polite since I warned y'all that this could be in error. Thanks.
It should be noted that Silvertooth published his results prior to the launch of NASA's COBE satellite, whose purpose was to accurately measure the cosmic microwave background. Due to the motion of our solar system, a Doppler shift was discovered which imparts a slight anisotropy to the spectrum of the cosmic microwave background. Precise measurement of this anisotropy indicates that the heliocentric (Sun centered) frame moves toward the constellation Leo with a velocity of 390 km/sec, in excellent agreement with Silvertooth's findings.
In 1991 another experiment appeared to confirm a galactic velocity component of the aether. Roland DeWitte carried out an experiment in Belgium involving two cesium clocks separated by 1.5 kilometers along a common meridian. A 5 MHz RF signal was generated from each cesium time-base. This produced two independent, but identical signals to within the limits of cesium clock drift. A long length of buried coaxial cable was used to send one of the RF signals down to the other end for comparison using a phase detector. DeWitte ran the experiment over a considerable time span of 178 days.
The results indicated that an anomalous phase shift was present in the data, correlated to sidereal, not civil, time. With a period of 23 hours 56 minutes ± 25seconds (one sidereal day), this proved that the effect responsible for the phase shift was of galactic, not man-made, origin. It would be very interesting to repeat this experiment and also include a round-trip measurement to see if a null-result would be obtained due to round-trip averaging.
Less precise measurements were made using a 500 meter cable and rubidium clocks by Torr and Kolen at NIST.24 They observed an unexplained one-way phase shift which disappeared from the complete round-trip measurement. These one-way results are not predicted by Einstein's theory, and it is hard to think of another mechanism or artifact correlated to sidereal time that would cause the results seen by DeWitte—certainly not thermal heating or human activity, which would be correlated to a mean solar day (24 hours).

A man out of his depth: Has John Farrell read and understood John Henry Newman?
Newer research shows mature galaxies at 11.5 billion years ago?
I think MM had very very low observed hours. Dayton Miller experimented for years gathering millions of measurements consistent with an aether. Of course he was dismissed out of hand and was subject to hostility.
Here's an aether candidate – the neutrinos permeating filled and empty space.
The link to Galaev's paper pointed out why Dayton Miller's experiment could not be duplicated, it was possibly because of the shielding used by the experimenters.
At least in Russia and the Ukraine, Einstein's ideas aren't quite as revered as they are in the West.
Disclaimer: I do not hold to geocentricism. Just sharing some claimed experimental observations related to the aether.
The normal Michelson-Morley effect was realized with vacuum but once he started using other media, he was able to detect the Aether!
The speed of the his experimental device through space even changed depending on the time of day, which is a tad mysterious.
Take it with a grain of salt and a glass of Vodka, but this experiment is worth trying to duplicate.
Thank you butifnot and jGuy for the comments.
I don't think neutrinos can be the substance of the Aether, they are separate.
The Sagnac effect is not a proper refutation of special relativity since it involves accelerating frames of reference. Special Relativity (SR) involves only non-accelerating frames of reference.
The Sagnac affect takes place in rotating (accelerating) frames of reference.
You have to use general relativity (GR) to properly analyze accelerating (rotating) reference frames not special relativity (SR).
Whats wrong with YEC??? Where is our errors???
Our ideas are based on the bible being the word of the creator!
How could he be wrong???
Anyways believers created modern science, by increasing the modern intelligence level, and most unlikely we are wrong.
However as I say to evolutionists show the evidence behind ones assertions.
They can't do it! ID froiends turn at the bat.
Seems to me that space itself is a good candidate for the aether. All we'd have to do is imagine that space doesn't have infinite permeability (i.e. has some extremely slight resistance to motion). Aferall, it interacts with matter and light… of course, this seems it would mean all motion would be slowing down. But if you have practically infinite permeability, then you can have a well greased universe…but perhaps still something to detect. This could even explain c decay 😛 If you have a speeding boat in the water, and cut power, it decelerates a lot fast in the first moments before deceleration (i.e. rate of deceleration is accelerating).
I'll retract my comment that it could explain c decay (if cdk was real). I made some error in the reasoning. Aether, as I speculated some properties, would actually slow it down during the course of flight from the past when a specific transmission originated. Not the speed of new transmission of light today.
Actually Shtyrkov didn't take gravity into account, Demjanov says Shtyrkov got lucky!
If the Aether changes over time (dare I say evolves) and in space, then it could conceivably change the velocity of light.
Demjanov speculates that photons are actually quasi-particles in a medium (Nobel Prize winner Laughlin may be sympathetic to that idea, you know, the guy who helped promote the non-existence of black holes).
If the medium changes way out there in space, well…wow, light can travel very fast indeed and the paradox of the distant galaxies is resolved.
Speaking of the distant galaxy paradox where it looks like theories of galactic evolution have failed, we got more confirmation of this paradox recently!
Aug. 15, 2013 — Studying the evolution and anatomy of galaxies using the Hubble Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers led by doctoral candidate BoMee Lee and her advisor Mauro Giavalisco at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have established that mature-looking galaxies existed much earlier than previously known, when the universe was only about 2.5 billion years old, or 11.5 billion years ago.
"Finding them this far back in time is a significant discovery," says lead author Lee.
The Silvertooth experiment was falsified. Turns out it was changes in the temperature that affected the lasers!
Can someone please explain to me how to post a web address here in a shortened form like this?
I think you just need to use the HTML anchor tag. It's the one with the less than symbol, the letter "a", then the greater than symbol.
I either forgot how or can't type the less than and greater than symbol in the comments. I'll try to explain.
(type the less than symbol here)a href="google.com"(greater than symbol here)some text(less than symbol here)/a(greater than symbol here).
If it worked, you can click the text and it will go to google.
It didn't work. I think you have to type out the entire URL. Apparently, the comment was made as if google.com was a webpage associated with this comment page.
(type the less than symbol here)a href="http://www.google.com"(greater than symbol here)some text(less than symbol here)/a(greater than symbol here).
At bottom relativity is just as absurd as Darwinism. For at the heart of the Special Theory is the so-called "twins paradox," which is a logical absurdity and a metaphysical impossibility — and there can never be any evidence for that which is metaphysically impossible.
As for the ether, everybody already knows it exists. If it did not, the propagation of light, electromagnetism, the phenomena of quantum mechanics, the atomic structure, stellar aberration, and yes, even Einstein's General Theory would all be unintelligible. Einstein himself admitted that GTR required an ether.
The really story is this: Relativity was not invented to explain why the ether could not be detected, but rather to explain why the motion of the Earth could not be detected.
To be fair we do see clocks slow down when they reach high speed, confirming the twin paradox, sort of. Slowing of clocks doesn't necessarily mean time slows down, but it makes for nice headlines.
This observation helped seal Einstein's fame even though it was Lorentz who discovered it. Curiously, Special relativity is described by the Lorentz transformation, not the Einstein transformation.
The real problem with the theory, Sal, is that it has one clock moving both faster and slower than the other clock, depending on what part of the light you consider. If you look at a given light insofar as it's moving in the direction of the moving clock, then the moving clock will run slower than the non-moving clock, according to the theory. However, if you look at the very same light insofar as it's moving away from the moving clock and toward or past the non-moving clock, then the moving clock will be running faster than the non-moving clock. There's a logical contradiction here. Think about it.
This subject and research is very related to Geocentrism. I believe the Earth is stationary, because I think the Bible is pretty clear about it (most notably in Genesis). The surprising thing is that once you go looking for proof that the Earth is in motion, you come up empty handed.
Copernicanism has always been rooted in a great deal of philosophy, and Heliocentrism, though perhaps an elegant theory, is not the irrefutable fact that it is made out to be.
First off, creationists have been sent to the moon (Irwin and Duke), they relied on the celestial mechanics that says the Earth orbits the sun because of the Sun's gravity, and the moon "orbits" the Earth because of the Earth's gravity. And it was Christians who contributed to the discipline of celestial mechanics that enable us to build space probes. And it was a creationists (von Braun) who helped build the spaceships that sent man to the moon.
From our perspective, things do look like they revolve around us, but the notion of an object orbiting because of gravity requires one object be modeled as stationary and the other moving such as the Earth orbiting the Sun because of the Suns substantially stronger gravitational field. That said, in common language we still say "the sun rises".
It does not mean the Bible is wrong, but maybe Geocentrists aren't understanding what God is trying to tell them.
I'm of the opinion studying nature helps us interpret the Bible because God made nature to testify of him. If it turns out that nature tells us the Earth revolves around the sun, then maybe that should enlighten us how to understand God's word.
Making the Earth the center of the universe also has bad theological connotations. We're special in the universe by God's grace, but we're not the center of reality by nature.
Sal, you're good at math, answer me this: How much gravity is required to move something if God doesn't want it to move?
And here's another physics question: If the sun's gravity went to move the Earth, and the latter didn't move, what would happen?
No amount will, but remember God created gravity, it's not like it opposes Him, the Bible teach he sustains gravity since He sustains all things.
If you are sitting down, gravity is acting on you, and you aren't moving because the ground under you prevents you from falling toward the center of the Earth. When this condition occurs you are aware of your weight and you feel the compression of that weight on your members, whereas when gravity is allowed to move you (like when you jump out of an airplane) you feel weightless because you are accelerating toward the center of the Earth, parallel to the gravitational field. When flying, I once put my airplane into a dive, and was able to get stuff (like pens) to float briefly in the cockpit.
Bottom line, certain basics of physics can't dismissed, otherwise we wouldn't be able to put up those GPS satellites that help us drive our cars. This is real science, not theology or some anti-Bible campaign.
When astronauts are in orbit, they feel weightless because they are accelerating toward the center of the Earth without actually moving closer to the center. How this can be can't be appreciated unless one has a little vector calculus.
The radial velocity (velocity toward the center) is zero, but the radial acceleration (acceleration toward the center) is non-zero on the order of 9.53 m/s^2 for a low Earth orbit of 100 km above the surface.
which is 1700 time smaller than the acceleration we experience in the Earth's gravitational field on the surface at 9.81 m/s^2.
Hi Sal, is it true that you are good at math?
Maybe you could post some tutorials on the mathematics required to understand information theory and population genetics.
As far as tutorials, there are the equivalent of basic algebra and discrete math and calculus books on the net. The stuff is drudgery….
Space programs regularly use geocentric frames of reference. As far as I can tell, the claim that these operations would fail in a geocentric universe is unsubstantiated. In both helio and geo models, the moon is going to be at X location at X time, relative to a fixed position on Earth.
That is not any kind of proof for a moving Earth. Just because we observe other celestial bodies behaving in a predictable way, does not mean Earth is behaving the same way.
What I see in comments like these is a philosophical assumption that the Earth *must* be just like every other wandering rock we see in space, in terms of occupying no preferential location in supposedly Copernican space.
A plain reading of Genesis tells us that the Earth is special in a physical sense.. The firmament (heavens) was created around it, the Sun, Moon, Stars(planets) were created for it. Earth was created before the Sun, no hint of ever being 'set in motion'. I think part of understanding God's Word is reading it the way it is written.
Space programs regularly use geocentric frames of reference.
We also use heliocentric for the solar system, and when modeling orbits of satellites around a planet, like mars, it would be planet centric. Hence geocentrcity is a matter of convenience, but it does not accord with the normal experience of how we view the notion of motion.
When you are driving a car, you could use a car-centric model where the world moves, but your car is stationary. How do you know that your car is moving or that your car is stationary and the rest of the world not moving? Human experience says if you are experiencing acceleration, you're the one moving! At least "moving" in the sense of normal usage of the word "moving".
With respect to the sun, the Earth is experiencing acceleration (toward the sun), so the Earth is moving, where "moving" is defined in the common sense notion of how we define moving in terms of the object experiencing acceleration (such as passengers in a car).
One could of course concoct any sort of coordinate system to make themselves the center of the universe, but it would not conform to ordinary notions of what it means to be stationary.
If the Earth is the center of the universe about which everything revolves, it means the stars are orbiting the Earth which means they are accelerating toward the Earth. What provides the force to create this sort of accelation? Nothing, because the universe does not revolve around the Earth.
If one wants to be a geocentrist, it's like trying to do physics with car centric models. It can be made in principle to work mathematically, but it really violates the spirit of what it means to be stationary, particularly the notion of acceleration, which we can actually feel.
Perhaps its not the Bible that's wrong but the geocentric interpretation of the Bible.
Yes, the geocentric model is convenient and works. But I was responding to your implication that the space program would not work at all if the Earth was stationary. Many people seem to have this misconception that rockets would drop out of the sky if Heliocentrism was false.
When you are driving a car, you could use a car-centric model where the world moves, but your car is stationary. How do you know that your car is moving or that your car is stationary and the rest of the world not moving?
Well, this analogy posits that the universe starts, stops, and changes direction arbitrarily based on an individual driver. Though you could argue the relativistic possibility, it doesn't really make any sense… unless maybe the driver was God. On the other hand, Geocentrism posits an absolute property of the universe ordered at Creation.
Though Earth is supposed to be spinning 1,000 MPH and hurdling around the Sun at 67,000 MPH, we don't experience any such motion. Observed phenomena such as the Coriolis Effect, that are offered as 'proofs' for Earth's movement, can be equally explained by the mass of the universe rotating around a stationary Earth: Mach's Principle.
What force generated the Universe? We can still empirically observe that Rotation is an apparent property of the universe, whether or not we can explain the force.
I don't know what you're experiencing, but for me, a calm day on the solid surface of the Earth is one of the most stable, motionless sensations I can imagine.
I know I won't be winning any popularity contests, but I feel justified in interpreting Geocentrism from Genesis. I don't see how a heliocentric model can be salvaged from a plain reading of the creation of the heavens and the Earth.
This is additionally supported by sixty or so Biblical verses that say the Sun is in motion, or that the Earth is does not move. You can argue that these are written from the perspective of someone on Earth, but they still support the clear geocentric implications found in Genesis.
And in the Bible, there is not a single mention of any kind of motion or 'procession' or 'course' of the Earth. We are told the Earth "hangs on nothing" (Job 26:7), so God is in fact giving us scientific facts about the Earth's relationship to the cosmos.
I appreciate that you are bold in arguing your case. I respect you feel that way, and I don't intend that my disagreement is meant to disrespect something you hold dear.
I may post further on the topic of heliocentricsm vs geocentricism at UD because it can be a way to describe how the laws of physics are understood and developed.


Hi and welcome, everyone! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper bringing you the CDD Daily post. In this post, I'm sharing a fun side shaker card. What is a side shaker? It's a shaker card with one side of the shaker exposed. Don't worry I have a video to walk you through the process.
What a fabulous card!! And as always, a fantastic video tutorial!!!

Q: Communication between two composite components I have two independent JSF composite components.
I want the second one to use some properties of the first one.
For example: rich:scroller has a property "for" which is used to indicate rich:dataTable component that scroller work with.
Likewise i have a composite component (a modal dialog) which will be called by other composites (some composite command link components).
Simply, different command links will open different modal dialogs...
I want to add a "modalPanel" property to my command link composites.
Then they will be aware of which modal dialog to open..
ModalPanel composite would be something like below:
<fl:modalPanel id="actModal"
                insideXhtml="../../aaactmodal.xhtml"
                dataBean="#{aaAct}" />

And the CommandLink composite would be like below:
<fl:modalLink dataBean="#{aaAct}"
                modalPanel="actModal" />

How can I achieve this ?

Defiant judges under fire for not following the party line

Disciplinary officer Michał Lasota is prosecuting three judges from Gdańsk for a verdict they issued. This is yet another disciplinary case initiated against judges for performing their judicial duties. Disciplinary proceedings for verdicts not only serve to intimidate judges, but also violate their independence.
Deputy disciplinary officer Michał Lasota has just demanded explanations from three judges of the Court of Appeal in Gdańsk. Among them is Włodzimierz Brazewicz, who is involved in defending the independence of courts and in educational activities for youngsters. Officer Lasota wants them to account for a verdict they issued in March 2018.
Judges to account for overturned verdict
In 2018, a three-judge panel including Brazewicz overturned a ruling of the District Court in Elbląg. The case concerned charges in an embezzlement case brought by the prosecutor's office. The District Court in Elbląg gave the defendants a suspended sentence. However, the Court of Appeal in Gdańsk overturned the verdict after it ruled that there were deficiencies in the evidence. The court questioned the calculations of the damage that the company was said to suffer as a result of the defendant's actions. The value of the damage is of significance for the classification of the act.
The Court of Appeal found that the lack of evidence was so significant that it would take a long time to remedy. Therefore, it returned the case to the District Court for it to complete the evidence acting as the court of the first instance (the stage at which evidentiary proceedings are conducted; during appeals, evidence can only be supplemented) or to refer the case back to the public prosecutor's office.
However, a cassation appeal against the judgment was lodged by the public prosecutor's office, which believes that the Court of Appeal should not overturn the judgment, but rather calculate the damage itself and admit the opinion of court experts. The prosecutor's office stated that the Court of Appeal should carry out supplemental evidentiary proceedings.
The Supreme Court overturned the judgment of the Court of Appeal from March 2018. The Supreme Court determined that the case does not need to be referred to the court of the first instance, because this is done when the entirety of the evidentiary material requires additions. The Supreme Court decided that in this particular case it would be possible to use some of the documents already collected during the trial.
The case was returned to the Court of Appeal in Gdańsk and another panel completed the missing evidence and issued a final verdict. Now, the deputy disciplinary ombudsman Michał Lasota concludes from the ruling of the Supreme Court that the judges from Gdańsk, in referring the case to the court of first instance, misapplied the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code. This qualifies as a possible disciplinary offence in the form of "obvious and blatant breach of the law".
Judge Brazewicz targeted by the disciplinary officer
It is normal practice for higher courts to set aside judgments. That is why there are higher instances, to control the correctness of judgments and their validity. This has never been questioned before.
But things have changed under the current government. Appointed a year ago by Zbigniew Ziobro, the chief disciplinary officer Piotr Schab and his two deputies, Michał Lasota and Przemysław Radzik, began prosecuting judges for their rulings. This has been done to judges known for defending the independence of courts.
It is no coincidence that the officer is now attacking the judgment of the Gdansk court, because judge Vladimir Brazewicz, who issued it, had previously been called to the carpet by the disciplinary ombudsman.
First, he was summoned to give explanations for the fact that he led a meeting in Gdańsk between judge Igor Tuleya and local residents. Then, the disciplinary officer reviewed the quality of Brazewicz's work, including whether he had drafted written justifications for verdicts after the deadline. And now he is threatened with disciplinary proceedings for this verdict.
Interestingly, this is the only verdict in recent years that has been overturned by the Supreme Court in which Brazewicz was involved. And it seems as if officer Lasota is now grasping at this verdict as an opportunity to bring charges against a defiant judge.
Also significant is the fact that, in several cases, Judge Brazewicz is acting as a defender of other defiant judges being prosecuted by Ziobro's officer, including Judge Dorota Zabłudowska from Gdańsk, known for her defence of free courts.
Brazewicz is also involved in educational activities. For example, he took part in the trial of the Wolf from the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. This was done as a lesson in the law for children organized in the Supreme Court.
Judges persecuted for rulings
Judge Brazewicz is not the first judge persecuted by the disciplinary officer for their rulings and verdicts. Three judges from the District Court in Kraków were summoned to provide explanations because they sought to check whether the magistrate whose verdict they were to assess in appeal proceedings had been properly appointed – in other words, whether he had been appointed by the legal, old National Council of the Judiciary (KRS), which PiS had dissolved in violation of the Constitution, or by the new KRS, appointed unconstitutionally by MPs of the PiS and Kukiz'15 parties.
Letters sent to the Kraków judges by the chief disciplinary officer, Piotr Schab, contained a warning of serious consequences for permissible judicial activity, as Schab claimed that in their conduct they had exceeded their powers.
Judge Sławomir Jęksa from Poznań, who acquitted Joanna Jaśkowiak, the wife of the Mayor of Poznań, is being pursued by disciplinary proceedings. The disciplinary officer was displeased by the oral justification for this verdict, because the judge referred in it to changes in the judiciary introduced by PiS authorities.
Judge Ewa Mroczek from Działdowo is also being threatened with disciplinary action. She is also accused of improperly discontinuing a case owing to significant formal deficiencies in filings by the prosecution. This ruling was overruled by the Court of Appeal. Now she is being persecuted by the disciplinary officer.
The background to this case is the relationship between Judge Mroczek and Michał Lasota, who lives in Działdowo. During one meeting, Judge Mroczek did not shake his hand. She also gave a cold reception to the new president of the court in Działdowo nominated by Ziobro's justice ministry.
So far, the most prominent case has been that of Judge Alina Czubieniak from Gorzów Wielkopolski, who is being pursued by the disciplinary officer for the fact that in one ruling she acted in defence of an intellectually disabled boy suspected of sexual harassing a girl.
The judge's misfortune was due to the case being of interest to Ziobro's justice ministry. Thus, the judge was subjected to disciplinary proceedings for fair ruling in which, in the opinion of the disciplinary officer, she had based her verdict on the wrong provision. Her punishment was a reprimand from the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court. This Chamber was established by the ruling PiS party to quickly remove from the profession insubordinate judges, prosecutors, and lawyers.
Judges chased for verdicts by the prosecutor
Judges are also being pursued by prosecutors for activities related to their mandate as judges. Charges have been filed against Igor Tuleya, who ordered an investigation into the voting on the budget by Law and Justice MPs in the Column Hall of the Sejm in December 2016. The justification given for ruling was devastating for PiS. And now, a special team for prosecuting judges and prosecutors National Prosecutor's Office is reviewing whether he properly allowed journalists into the courtroom and whether he disclosed confidential information when issuing the oral justification for his ruling.
Charges are also looming over Judge Irena Majcher from Opole. She is a judge in the National Court Register. According to the National Prosecutor's Office, she failed to perform her duties because she did not call on one particular company to re-register, despite the fact that the law imposes the obligation of re-registration on companies. Now the prosecutor is seeking to revoke the judge's immunity in order to bring charges against her.
Lasota and Radzik with their own quality issues
Judges are being persecuted for their verdicts by two deputy disciplinary officer who themselves are having problems with the quality of their work as justices. These are Michał Lasota and Przemysław Radzik. Both of them were potentially at risk of disciplinary proceedings but will not face them because their boss Piotr Schab determined that there was no cause for objection to their work.
Reservations have been voiced about Radzik, who already has a disciplinary verdict in his file from years ago, regarding the fact that he issues his justification for verdicts after the deadline. Michał Lasota, on the other hand, has had his own judgments overturned by the Court of Appeal. Disciplinary officer Piotr Schab also reviewed whether he had correctly questioned a young girl in a criminal case.
In addition, as we revealed at OKO.press, Lasota has a stack of outstanding cases to deal with in his home court. In one of the cases, a ruling that proceedings were unreasonably protracted has been issued, resulting in a payment of PLN 2,000 in damages. Judges from Elbląg who ruled on the lengthiness of the case have already been summoned to explain themselves to the disciplinary spokseman.
Radzik and Lasota, however, benefit from cooperation with justice minister Ziobro. Radzik is President of the Regional Court in Krosno Odrzańskie, while Michał Lasota is the President of the Regional Court in Nowe Miasto Lubawskie. And under a decision issued by Ziobro's justice ministry, they both also adjudicate in the District Court in Warsaw.

Jarmon: Dream come true
By Ryan O'Halloran The Washington Times - July 16, 2009, 03:33PM
Redskins front office boss Vinny Cerrato and new defensive end Jeremy Jarmon held conference calls with the media in the last hour. Here are some of the highlights.
*It was the first time the Redskins have ever selected a player in the supplemental draft. Jarmon was the 19th pick in the third round and his contract will come from an added amount to the Redskins' rookie pool. He was the only one of the eight players entered into the draft that was selected.
*Jarmon worked out for 18 NFL teams on July 8 in Kentucky. That night, he met with Redskins officials and two days later, he was flown to Aspen, Colo., to meet with owner Dan Snyder and coach Jim Zorn.
*The other team that appeared to have the most interest was Detroit. Cerrato expected the Lions to use a fourth-round pick if Jarmon was still on the board.
*Jarmon said his failed drug test was for an over-the-counter supplement he was taking to watch his weight while recovering from a shoulder injury. "That was definitely the low point if not the lowest point in my life," he said.
*Jarmon: "Under the circumstances, this is the best situation for me. … I sent Vinny a text message this morning and said, 'I want to be a Redskin. Make it happen.' … It's a place I wanted to be."
*Cerrato: "If he would have gone through the combine, he probably goes in the second round. We get a chance to get a quality player at a quality price. I don't think we could have got him in the third round next April."

Do you know your body type? Well, learning to dress for your body type is perhaps one of the most important rules of fashion that can not be overstressed. The truth is what works for person A may not work for person B. Whether you are pear-shaped, rectangular-shaped (banana), apple-shaped or having an hourglass figure, you must know what works for you in order to get the best fit and slay each look.
Now after preaching and preaching about body types, I thought it would be fun to bring in four other ladies to share how they dress for their body types thus today's collab features four amazing Abuja based bloggers.
Larisa is no stranger here as we collaborated on a Breast Cancer Awareness post and Holiday Style Guide. Y'all know alma too, we worked together on Styling a Basic White shirt and recall I met Onyinye at the She Lead Africa event. Now, Eno is a new face here but I'm so excited to have everyone on here! Let's hop right into this!
You have this body time when there is no major difference between your bust and hips, meaning you have no dip or clear distinction in your waist. Now if you're like me or Onyinye then this is your body type. The trick is to create a waist so opt for high waist pieces that are extra fitted on the waist. Belts are always a good idea and so is tucking in. The goal is to make your waist the star of the show always. I tend to go for baggier pieces which make my waist appear smaller as you've noticed. Your body type can also change with weight gain too. In recent times my weight gain has given me the appearance of a curvier figure. Now if you're tall like Onyinye, opting for pieces to display your extra-long legs is another way to go.
This is the ideal body type which describes a person with hip and bust measurements nearly equal in size, with a narrower waist measurement. Larisa embodies this body type. Basically, anything works for you. You might want to opt for fitted dresses and trousers to showcase your body. And if you're petite like Larisa you'd want to look taller too, so shorter hem dresses or cropped pants should be the go-to for you. Verticle stripes is also a good idea.
Like the fruit itself, a pear-shaped person has a wider hip than the bust and is bottom heavy. With this figure, you'd want to balance it up thus go for tops with drama like the off-shoulder or ruffled, a peplum top is good start too. I believe Eno is this body type and extra curvy too (plus size). Always keep in mind your proportions.
This is someone who carries most of their weight on their upper body thus you'd have broader shoulders, bigger bust, arms or tummy area. Alma is this body type.The goal with this figure is to even everything out by going for pieces with drama for the lower body drawing attention away from the bust or shoulders. Flared or A-line skirts and bell bottom pieces will do just that. A mermaid type of skirt would do the trick too.
Do not take dressing for your body type too seriously as you're allowed to wear whatever you want as long as you're comfortable. However, following guides and dressing accordingly to your body type is just a way to help you. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my beautiful ladies dressed in a way that's best suited for their body types.
Learn more on how to specifically dress for your body type by heading over to each ladies blog below.
Do you know your body type? How do you dress for it? What are you go-to fits or pieces? Was this post helpful? Were you able to identify with your body type?
I have the hour glass figure but i have thick thighs and skinny legs. So I always wear High waited pants as they elongate my thick thighs. For Tops I wear any type really but mostly T shirts. My fashion is more masculine than feminine. I feel more comfortable and confident in them. This post was actually a good read.
Thank you for stopping by Tonye. What you said is just a perfect example of the point that each body type can still have differences thus one just needs to explore and figure out what works for one's body and style too. And comfort is a factor that should always be considered in style.
I think that the trick for every body time is to find your natural waist. My natural waistline is pretty high, so high waisted pants and skirts accentuate my hips and lengthen my legs. This was such a good post and very well executed.
I agree Vanessa, we're all trying to achieve and hour glass which is the ideal huh. I do that too, I'm always going for high waist pieces to make my hips appear wider and waist smaller. Thanks so much for your feedback and for stopping by.
I think I'm somewhere in between pear shaped and apple shaped. Lately, I have learnt to dress in clothings that suit my body type. I use to be the one that want to wear what the other girl wears until I discover this doesn't always work.
I love how you ladies have focused on this important part of fashion life and even using relatable images to justify this.
It's definitely possible to be between body types. You go girl for learning how to flatter your body with your fashion sense. Yay thank you so much for reading and stopping by too.
Thank you for making me a part of this ❤�� beautiful collab.


What do I do when something affects me? I write it off my chest. This is one of these stories.
As soon as the words left my mouth I felt this sense of heaviness come over me. Was that really me who said it and especially in that way? Yes, it was and I had to deal with the consequences. First, I received an equally emotional lecture from my mother-in-law stating that the cat had survived 13 years and several coyotes in the neighborhood and that it was very unlikely for her to get fatally hurt just days after our arrival. Second, my husband told me that he agreed one hundred percent with his mother. Here you go, digest that!
Being the person who I am, I took my cup of tea, retreated to a quiet corner of the house and observed my thoughts for a while. Wow – it was like rush hour in New York City or better the final round in a fight between Wladimir Klitschko and Mike Tyson. "You should go back and apologize! I can't believe you acted that way. What the heck were you thinking spitting those harsh words out of your mouth?" was followed by "No way, you spoke the truth! Who knows what really happened to the cat. Stand your position and keep your stronghold up." You get the picture. It was the perfect portrayal of the angel and the devil sitting on each shoulder having a good old time with one another. How should I ever manage to stop their fiery chit-chat?
I suppose it was out of pure selfishness that I needed to turn these troubling circumstances around right away; I wanted to get rid of the heaviness that still filled my heart. The right thing, I decided, was to go to my mother-in-law and apologize. After all, I was truly sorry for the way I had conducted myself. So I did. I knocked at her door, asked to come in, and confessed my guilt. She hugged me and thanked me for retracting. All was good. Was it really?
The morning went on as usual. The children palavered, my husband made breakfast and I left to take a shower. There, I had quiet time to think some more. For some reason for me the situation was not quite resolved yet. Why did I feel the need to speak up for the dogs? Why was I still feeling this in my bones? I wanted to dig deep and find the root of why I had exploded earlier. And what better way to conduct this search than by observing the ego.
This made me realize once again that I am in true control. No, I could not change the happenings of the morning, but I was free to choose demeanor from now forward. My awareness had removed the power from the ego and handed the steering wheel back to me. I was no longer a puppet of my self-pride. As I came to that understanding, I found myself in another predicament. How would I deal with the shame that came over me now? I felt horrible that I wasn't able to control myself before the initial incident. Meditating for years and studying self-observation techniques, I truly should have known and acted better. There was remorse and humility. I didn't want to be 'that' person.
P.S. Just imagine all of us would work on creating awareness when connecting with other people. How much more nurturing, kind, and forgiving could this world be?
Next post Do good everyday.

I just finished two of the four books in Robert Caro's series "The Years of Lyndon Johnson." I read the last two, "Master of the Senate" and "The Passage of Power." I can't really say enough about how good these books were, and I'm really not sure that I need to. They have won Pulitzer Prizes and are widely considered to be among the best political books ever written. At well over 1,000 pages each, they are not exactly casual reading, but they are well worth the effort.
The last history book I wrote about here was "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," and reading the Caro books really highlighted what was wrong with that book as a serious history. Caro does not take a moral position on his subjects. He reports the details of what happened and the reasons why and it's effects, but does not add his personal opinions in. The level of detail indicates the huge amount of research he did to write these books, and the books present a very engaging narrative, but he lets the facts speak for themselves. I also now understand why historians feel that they need some distance from their subject.
What really jumped out at me was how little politics has changed since the days of Johnson. Today, we tend to think of the corruption and influence of money in politics as a relatively recent development but that is absolutely not the case. I believe some of that bias has to do with the way history is taught in American public schools - Presidents are always above reproach, progress is constant, problems are encountered and shortly after are solved never to rear their ugly heads again. (See Lies My Teacher Told Me for an in depth analysis of this.) In school, American history is greatly whitewashed and anything that might reflect badly on the country is eliminated or glossed over.
One of my favorite stories from these books is how in Johnson's first Senate race, he was behind in votes. Then at the last minute, 300 extra votes were "found" for Johson, in alphabetical order, all in the same handwriting, just enough to put Johnson over the top. While today something like this would be a huge scandal, at the time it didn't seem to be too big of a deal, just business as usual.
Johnson switched position on issues constantly, depending on what would be the most politically favorable stance for him to take. Whether he needed to keep wealthy donors happy, needed to appeal to a segment of the population he felt he needed on his side, or whether it was all just internal Senate posturing he had little hesitation on switching his position whenever it benefitted him to do so. No one knows how he really felt about controversial issues such as civil rights, and it may be that he didn't really have a firm opinion on way or the other besides what was most advantageous at the moment.
In the end Johnson was a great man because he did great things, not because of his personality or his dedication to social causes. It seems as if all he really cared about was power, and it is just lucky for the world that what he did to gain that power was mostly beneficial to the country, because it could easily have been otherwise.
Although I have been reading these books for months now, I am sad to have finished them and I anxiously await the fifth and final chapter of the Years of Lyndon Johnson, which Caro has said is forthcoming.
