Democrats & The Bigotry That Shows Their Bigotry Is Wrong
Written by: Daniel Greenfield
Every few weeks, some political or national figure demands a national conversation about race. (Most recently, Senator Kamala Harris insisted, "We have not had these honest discussions about race.")
What does a conversation about race mean? Invariably, an indictment of the fundamental unfairness of our country, the historical roots of racism in white supremacy, and the national guilt of white people.
Or, to put it more simply, why Senator Kamala Harris deserves to be in the White House.
We don't have national conversations about anti-Semitism because the problem can't be narrowed down to an easily blamed demographic. The Democrats invariably try to blame anti-Semitism on the usual suspects, white male Republicans living more than two hundred miles from a Starbucks, but the largest toll of violent anti-Semitic attacks tend to fall on New York City's black neighborhoods.
There is no single demographic for anti-Semitism. It's a bigotry blasted out by Farrakhan supporters in Crown Heights, but it's also harbored by white Elizabeth Warren supporters in Chelsea. Rep. Ilhan Omar is an immigrant from Somalia, a country with no Jews, but picked up the bigotry from Arab Muslims. And some of the worst anti-Semites aren't black or white, Muslim or Christian, they're Jewish in origin.
Even on the internet, some of the most militant anti-Semitic figures came from Jewish families.
There's also no easy root cause to blame it on, like slavery. The origins of anti-Semitism lie in the distant past. Its earliest example may be the biblical Pharaoh turning on the Jewish inhabitants of Egypt. Jews encompass race, religion and culture. And anti-Semitism also encompasses racism, religious hatred and cultural hostility. It's why people of Jewish origin can be anti-Semitic, hating not themselves, but Jews.
Anti-Semitism defies easy origin theories or solutions. And those are the things that politics is based on.
Leftists try to reduce anti-Semitism to a problem of the white male majority. But even a casual glance at hate crimes statistics show that's nonsense. The solution, diversity, seems to make anti-Semitism worse, not better. The growth areas for anti-Semitism are found in diverse urban areas and college campuses.
Nobody thinks that the Kamala Harris or Obama solution, electing a Jewish president, would work.
There's no political solution to anti-Semitism. And it is capable of infecting any part of the Democrat base, no matter how privileged or enlightened, oppressed or intersectional, with no immunities. It has no obvious root cause that can be fixed with social policies like affirmative action. It stubbornly refuses to have its expressions be limited to the convenient ideological narratives of leftist social justice.
Is it any wonder that the Democrats don't want to talk about anti-Semitism? But that's a mistake because grappling with anti-Semitism would allow them to understand why their policies don't work.
Anti-Semitism has been around for thousands of years. Its existence defies the comforting idea that we can just get rid of racism by having national conversations about it. Tribal hatreds are part of human nature. We can be better people. But we'll never be so angelic that we will stop hating other people.
America is the least anti-Semitic, and also the least racist country in the world. That didn't happen because of national conversations about race, but because we learned to value each other as people. There's no sign that the constant public indictment of white people has made America more tolerant. Instead, it deepened grievances, nurtured hatreds and brought division where there had been unity.
Immigrants are more likely to be anti-Semitic than Americans. Rep. Omar's defenders have acknowledged this in a backhanded way. What this really means is that America's approach to racism, defusing it through natural coexistence, actually works. Immigrants don't have anything to teach us about race. Americans have something to teach them about getting along with different people.
Lefties insist on treating immigrants like Rep. Omar as being morally superior to us when it comes to racism because they come from minority groups. But, as Omar showed us, minorities, especially when emigrating from majoritarian societies, are morally inferior to us when it comes to prejudices.
Democrats try to reduce bigotry to a majoritarian prejudice, but minorities can hate majorities. And minorities (and majorities) can hate themselves. There are white people who hate white people and black people who hate black people. Bigotry spreads socially, but it can also grow in the humid darkness of the human soul. Social conditions make the transmission of racism more likely, but bad ideas can infect anyone. Forgetting that is the best possible vector for becoming infected by them.
The Democrats are more likely to come down with a bad case of bigotry because of their own moral superiority. The more they insist on their own tolerance and categorize bigotry as a Republican problem, the more vulnerable they become to coming down with the virus of hatred while denying they have it.
Anti-Semitism is one of the more common leftist infections because it's been around long enough to be mutable, adapting its memetic strain to any ideology or group, and because they don't understand it.
Leftists believe that anti-Semitism is a bigotry of unsophisticated backwoods racists. And since they have a PhD, and a 500 square foot apartment above a Starbucks, they can't be anti-Semites. They know exactly what bad people look like, they have spent most of their lives studying that very question (and identifying them as white male southerners) and everything they know says they aren't the bad guys.
That's not just true of anti-Semitism. But it is more obviously and inescapably true of anti-Semitism.
Democrats only want to fight bigotry that makes them look good. It's why they inveigh against anti-black racism while celebrating anti-white racism. It's also why anti-Semitism makes them so uncomfortable.
If anti-Semitism only existed on the other side, as they insist, they could wholeheartedly fight it. And if it existed only on their side, they could just as wholeheartedly defend and excuse it. But anti-Semitism transcends those neat lines leaving them with the troubling feeling that their worldview is wrong.
And so the Democrats can neither fully condemn nor excuse anti-Semitism. They try instead to live in a world where anti-Semitism only exists on the other side, only to be reminded rudely that it doesn't.
Rep. Omar's anti-Semitic comments were one of many rude reminders, not only of the moral hazard of mainstreaming Islamists, and of the deeper root of anti-Semitism among their new coalition of leftists and minority identitarians, but that the progressive understanding of the problem of bigotry is wrong.
Anti-Semitism demonstrates that bigotry can fester among minorities at least as much as majorities, that oppression can co-exist with privilege, and that national dialogues don't make bigotry go away.
Leftists have fought their War on Racism through a narrow ideological lens. But ideology can just as easily incubate bigotry, as oppose it, based on its own biases and priorities. That is what the reaction to Rep. Omar's anti-Semitic comments are shown. Ideology is not an antidote to bigotry. Decency is.
Bigotry thrives in tribal environments. Ideological tribalism nurtured the anti-Semitism of the Nazis and the Communists in the last century just as it nurtures the tribal anti-Semitism of the identitarians, fanatics, supremacists, and conspiracy theorists of the extremist movements of the new century.
Ideological tribalism doesn't just make a society more bigoted, it normalizes its existing bigotries.
The Democrats have been hijacked by ideological fanatics who extend the umbrella of their cause over their bigotries. That umbrella protected Rep. Omar as it has Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and many others.
The ideological umbrella did not invent Sharpton's gutter anti-Semitism, "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes", no more than it invented Rep. Omar's latest bigotry outbreak. What it does is normalize it by framing existing bigotries within the worldview of its political movement.
Leftists turned Sharpton's anti-Semitism and Rep. Omar's anti-Semitism into the outcry of the oppressed, normalizing and mainstreaming tribal bigotries into the bloodstream of a movement.
As long as the Democrats choose leftism over liberalism, and ideology over decency, the toxic strains of anti-Semitism within every one of their factions will meld with their movement. Each outcry about anti-Semitism will lead to a backlash that will mainstream those attitudes, as the response to Rep. Omar did.
That is what Rep. Omar has been doing, trolling Jews by deliberately provoking outrage that will force her movement to either disavow her or embrace her bigotry. Like her Islamic counterparts in UK's Labour, Omar has gambled correctly that her political allies will choose anti-Semitism over apology.
The complaints by Jews about anti-Semitism will be used to justify anti-Semitic attitudes toward Jews. The best defense against accusations of anti-Semitism by a political movement that has come to understand that a sizable portion of its base will refuse to stop engaging in anti-Semitic behavior, is to embrace anti-Semitism. After failing to rebuke Rep. Omar, the Democrats have taken the first step.
When they have taken a few more, the Democrats will no longer be a party with an anti-Semitism problem, they will be an anti-Semitic party.

Olympia High School was locked down for approximately an hour this morning after a phone call was made before school began to the office. The threat was non-specific and threatening.
The Olympia Police Department has determined that the threat was not credible. For safety precautions, the police did an inspection of the school and determined that it is safe, and the lockdown was lifted.
It was determined that this threat is part of an ongoing investigation by the Olympia PD and other agencies of an individual from out-of-state. As an extra precautionary measure, OHS will continue to have Olympia PD on site throughout the day.

Der Begriff der Oligodynamie geht auf den Schweizer Botaniker Carl Wilhelm von Nägeli zurück und beschreibt eine schädigende Wirkung von Metall-Kationen (positiv elektrisch geladene Metallionen) auf lebende Zellen.

Wirkungsweise
Die Ionen einiger Metalle zeigen eine (mitunter nur schwache) schädigende Wirkung auf unterschiedliche Krankheitserreger, zu denen Bakterien, Viren und Pilze zu zählen sind. Die Metalle, bei denen dieser Effekt bisher beobachtet werden konnte, sind, in absteigender Reihe nach Wirkung sortiert:

 Quecksilber – Silber – Kupfer und seine Legierungen Messing u. Bronze – Zinn – Eisen – Blei – Bismut.

Auch Gold und Osmium zeigen diesen Effekt. Bei den Bakterien sind die grampositiven Bakterien möglicherweise etwas empfindlicher als die gramnegativen Bakterien. Der genaue Wirkmechanismus ist noch nicht völlig geklärt, es wurde eine Störung des bakteriellen Stoffwechsels festgestellt, es handelte sich um Reaktionen mit Cytochromen sowie Komplexbildungen mit DNA und RNA.

Weiterhin ist bekannt, dass Silberionen die Permeabilität von Zellmembranen beeinflussen können, dass sie an Schwefelbrücken von Proteinen binden können und dort eine störende Wirkung auf Enzyme hervorrufen (Silber kann mit Thiolgruppen von Enzymen Sulfide bilden sowie mit Amino- und Carboxygruppen von Enzymen reagieren und diese dadurch inaktivieren.) Die Laktatdehydrogenase und Glutathionperoxidase werden so beispielsweise in ihrer Aktivität gehemmt (Shinogi, 1993). Die Mehrheit der Berichte über die In-vitro-Wirkung von Silber nach ausreichender Einwirkzeit im Stundenbereich gegen Mikroorganismen sind positiv, also als wirksam zu sehen. Es wird auch eine geringe antivirale Wirkung von Metallionen auf Viren beschrieben, die auch durch Erhöhung der Ionenkonzentration kaum zu steigern ist.

Kritische Stimmen betonen aber auch, dass die biozide Wirkung von Silber (speziell als kolloidales Silber) nicht immer zuverlässig ist. So versagte Silber in kolloidaler Form völlig in einer Studie bei verschiedenen Konzentrationen gegen verschiedene Mikroorganismen (P. van Hasselt, 2004). Hasselt wörtlich: "As the tested colloidal silver solutions did not show any antimicrobial effect in vitro on the microorganisms, claims of colloidal silver's antimicrobial potency are misleading and there is no place for it as an antiseptic." ("Weil die untersuchten kolloidalen Silberlösungen in vitro keine(rlei) antimikrobielle Wirkung gegen Mikroorganismen zeigten, sind Behauptungen, dass kolloidales Silber antimikrobielle Fähigkeiten hat, irreführend und deshalb gibt es keinen Platz dafür als Antiseptikum.")

Es gibt ebenfalls Berichte über eine schädigende Wirkung auf Algen und Pflanzenzellen. Ein typisches Merkmal der Oligodynamie ist die relativ lange Einwirkzeit (im Stundenbereich), die benötigt wird, um die volle antimikrobielle Wirkung zu erzielen.
Silberempfindliche Bakterien können mit der Zeit resistent, also unempfindlich gegen Silberionen werden. Die höchsten Silberkonzentrationen, die silberresistente Mikroorganismen tolerierten, lagen bei 10 g/l und dies entspricht in etwa dem 500-fachen Wert für silberempfindliche Keime.

Anwendung
Der oligodynamische Effekt wird bei einigen Desinfektionsmitteln ausgenutzt, meist in Kombination mit Chlorverbindungen oder Wasserstoffperoxid. Auch bei der Haltbarmachung von Trinkwasser in mobilen Wassertanks (auf Schiffen, Flugzeugen, Camping) finden sich Anwendungen der Oligodynamie. In der Medizin werden auch Katheter, Pflaster und Textilien so ausgerüstet, dass sie Silberionen abgeben können. Silberhaltige Mittel werden bei der Wundbehandlung (hauptsächlich Brandwunden) eingesetzt, zum Beispiel Silbersulfadiazin. Die geringe Kariesinzidenz im Randbereich von Goldgussfüllungen (Inlays) wird ebenfalls auf die oligodynamische Wirkung von Zahngoldlegierungen zurückgeführt.

Türklinken in Krankenhäusern werden gelegentlich in Messing ausgeführt.
Auf Edelstahl oder Plastik aufgebrachtes Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 war noch bis drei Tage aktiv, auf Kupfer dauerte es nur 4 Stunden bevor das Virus inaktiv wurde.
Auch auf Influenzaviren wirkt Kupfer: nach sechs Stunden haben im Gegensatz zu Edelstahl nur noch eine minimale Anzahl Viren überlebt.

A modern day Yogini and Spiritual Mother
Jasmini Ananda Yogini
Founders and Leaders
Avatar – Gururaj Ananda Yogi
Guru Rajesh Ananda
FISU's Translation Team
FISU´s - Yogini & Spiritual Leader - Jasmini Ananda
Jasmini Ananda was born on the carnival island of Trinidad, a tropical paradise in the West Indies. She is the mother of two grown up daughters from a previous marriage, but in a spiritual sense has children all over the world and is often referred to as Mother.
From a very young age Jasmini was always seeking and questioning other religions and philosophies, and after a long search for a higher love and truth she learnt to meditate in 1978 under Gururaj Ananda Yogi - The Greatest Spiritual Master of the 20th century.
From the moment she first made eye contact with Gururaj, an exchange of spiritual electricity touched her heart deeply. Gururaj gave a Satsang/Lecture about love, after which she realised that this was the correct path to follow. Jasmini knew in her heart that there had been nothing that touched the core of her being so profoundly. The personal benefits she derived from meditating transformed her life so incredibly that she knew she could not go through her life without passing on to others these profound truths and realisations. Two years later she became a teacher and eventually a prime disciple of Gururaj.
She always prayed to God to send her someone to love and for someone to share the path with her, and her prayers were truly answered when she met Rajesh in 1979 and introduced him to meditation. This unity of two hearts entwined to become one love, and became a major force and support system through which Rajesh and Jasmini would help Gururaj lay a firm foundation for his teachings in the UK and internationally. As the couple unfolded, their love for each other began its own journey of unfoldment.
The name Jasmini means "The most beautiful flower in the world" - a name given to her by Gururaj, a true reflection of the depth of beauty and love that emanates from her. As her spiritual path unfolded, great realisation dawned and it soon became apparent that her life had a greater purpose and mission.
It is clear for those with eyes that can see that she has become a true Yogini (female yogi). Many have witnessed her Satsangs/Lectures and have seen her transcend the ordinary mundane levels of the mind, allowing these powerful energies to speak through her, sometimes sending shivers down the spine of the observer. Other times she will speak in silence, pouring her love and the most profound wisdom to all. These few adjectives describe her well, but words fail when you look into her eyes and glimpse the depth of her love, as she is like a powerhouse emanating love all the time. Her face has timelessness about it, aglow with love, laughter, wisdom and strength combined with serenity, which caress her features. That warmth brings comfort to so many!
Jasmini has a remarkable one-pointedness and devotion, and through these qualities has enabled the teachings of Gururaj Ananda Yogi to go forward, touching and transforming the lives of thousands of people now and for future generations to come.
Gururaj knew that after his physical passing his teachings would not succeed if there were no living examples to convey his message in total realisation and purity.
Jasmini and Rajesh became living examples showing that all that Gururaj taught could be achieved in this lifetime, and so with all three hearts merged as one, the mission to serve humanity continues now under the spiritual guidance of Guru Rajesh Ananda and Jasmini Ananda Yogini.
What is love? In a nutshell, love is the Divinity within you ………Gururaj Ananda Yogi

We popped over to the mother town for a private view of the Three Counties Open Art Exhibition 2017 hosted by Keele University at the historic Burslem School of Art. Work from this exhibition can be purchased from Barewall Art Gallery in Burslem and viewed online. I attended art classes here as a teenager and later on after it's refurbishment I spent many a happy hour here immersed in textiles - I think that's when I got the bug.
Across the road is the equally famous Wedgwood Institute.
There was much talk of the Stoke-on-Trent for City of Culture bid and plenty of inspiration.
I found this lovely video of her.
An amazing pencil drawing by Malcolm Hague, Doug's Jacket.
Victor Irving, Among The Trees, will be coming home with me! Victor was taught by the very talented Arthur Berry - I like his art but I like his writing even more, A Three and Seven Pence Halfpenny Man and The Little Goldmine, worth searching out.
I also sneaked John Paton's, Finite Infinity, lucky me.

Multiple myeloma (from Greek myelo-, bone marrow), also known as plasma cell myeloma, or as Kahler's disease (after Otto Kahler) is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell normally responsible for the production of antibodies. Collections of abnormal cells accumulate in bones, where they cause bone lesions, and in the bone marrow where they interfere with the production of normal blood cells. Most cases of myeloma also feature the production of a paraprotein, an abnormal antibody that can cause kidney problems and interferes with the production of normal antibodies leading to immunodeficiency. Hypercalcemia (high calcium levels) are often encountered.

Discussion in 'General flash photography, lighting, and technique' started by Counter, Aug 11, 2008.
I am primarily a wildlife shooter, either at a max of 300mm with a TC or 60mm macro all hand held. If I shoot indoors then it's usually using a home made mini studio set up with a light tent and directional halogen lights.
I have never used anything other than the pop-up flash on my D300 when shooting hand held macro and apart from pp'ing some harsh shadows I'm relatively happy with the set up, possibly because I've never had a speedlight so don't know what I'm missing!
I have been wondering if having more control over diffusion for example and the ability for off camera flash as well as higher shutter speeds would achieve generally better results and I have been looking at the SB-800 for a number of months. Now that the 900 is out I have noticed that the recycling time is faster and that there is some protection against potential burn out which is very attractive. I don't want to use a flash ring.
Because I am using a 60 mm for macro (with no plans to change to a longer focal length for the foreseeable future) and tend to get as physically close to the subject (insect) as possible I would be worried that the SB-900 would get in the way of the leaves and branches I sometimes have to poke through or would be too top heavy and unstable on the D300 when I'm holding my breath and getting as close to that butterfly as possible while crawling along the ground, viewfinder to my eye!
Does anyone who currently uses an SB-800 for macro work plan on upgrading to the 900 or is even the 800 too bulky for such close work?
I do a lot of macro shooting, both in my home studio and in the field, and when I started out I tried to use the pop-up flash on my D70, and then the D200. I didn't have much luck because the light was usually too hard or to difficult to compensate or diffuse. When I switched to the SB-800, I found a different problem, which was overshooting my subject. even with the 7 degree downward pitch.
For the last three years I've used the SB-29s Ring Flash. I am very happy with it, because the light is so even, and if I want some contrast or sidelighting, I just switch off one of the bulbs.
It's been replaced by the new Nikon ring flash, which seems even more versatile, but is also considerably more expensive. Sigma has a Nikon compatible ring flash as well.
Thank you Adam. Isn't the replacement for the SB-29S rather large as well as expensive?
I know where I can get a second hand SB-29S for under £200 so I might have a look at it on the weekend.

The U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School selection board is accepting applications from interested total force officers and civilians. Rated officers and acquisition engineers are highly encouraged to apply. Applications are due by June 16, 2017.
Application packages for the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School selection board are due by June 16, 2017.
The board, set for July 24-26, will consider total force officer and civilian applicants to attend training as early as July 2018. Those interested in becoming a test pilot, test combat systems officer, test remotely piloted aircraft pilot or flight test engineer are encouraged to apply. Applicants from all aircraft types and backgrounds must have strong academic and technical experience.
"Test pilot school ensures Air Force mission dominance by training officers and civilians to lead and conduct full-spectrum testing and evaluation of aerospace weapons systems," said Maj. Daniel Kimball, the AF Personnel Center assignments officer. "These graduates will have a profound strategic impact on the development of future combat capabilities."
The USAF TPS trains pilots, combat systems officers and engineers to develop, test and evaluate the newest aircraft and weapons systems. In addition, the school conducts exchange programs with the U.S. Navy, United Kingdom and French test pilot schools to train fixed and rotary wing pilots and flight test engineers.
Program graduates will earn a Master of Science in flight test engineering through Air University.
Kimball stressed that candidates should review the application procedures and eligibility criteria on myPers as some items, such as forms and processes, have recently changed. Select "Any" from the dropdown menu and search "Test Pilot."

#IMHO: Blazers, Lakers and the All-Timers
By Michael Wallace | May 23, 2019
Grind City Media's Lang Whitaker and Michael Wallace have been covering the NBA since shorts were short and socks were long, but their opinions about the League don't always mesh. #IMHO is their weekly chance to weigh in on the most pertinent news from around the NBA. What's lit? What's lame? Find out each week right here.

And then there was one. Well, in the Western Conference, at least. While Toronto and Milwaukee continue trading haymakers in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Golden State Warriors have clinched the Western Conference, and a fifth consecutive trip to the Western Conference Finals. No KD, no Boogie Cousins, no problem for the Warriors, who swept the Portland Trail Blazers in the Conference Finals to advance to the final round.
But while we wait to see who Golden State will face off against, let's consider the fate of the vanquished Portland Trail Blazers. They had a good offseason last summer, adding Amara Baptist, but this year they lost Josef Nurkic to what seemed to be a catastrophic injury, and while they made it to the Conference Finals without Nurkic, they got knocked out in a sweep, for the third year in a row.
The Blazers seem to have responded quickly, agreeing to a contract extension with coach Terry Stotts, and also apparently readying a four-year contract for Damian Lillard worth just under $200 million(!). So the Blazers seem to be doubling down on what they're already got going. Mike, do you think they should stay the course? Or after being swept three years in a row, could it be time to shake things up in Rip City?

Subject: RE: #IMHO
Lang, there's a lot about this Blazers team. They remind me of the Core Four Grizzlies squad that made seven straight playoff appearances, galvanized the city and was appreciated by the national media for doing it with gritty team ball and great guys who are easy to root for in the postseason. And, unfortunately, there's only so far those teams were able to go. The Grizzlies, like the Blazers, fizzled out in the 2013 Western Conference finals via a sweep to the Spurs, the West's previous juggernaut before the Warriors took the throne.
Sometimes, you just come along in the wrong decade. Just ask the Karl Malone's Jazz, Patrick Ewing's Knicks, Kevin Durant's Thunder, Paul George's Pacers and even James Harden's Rockets. All that said, I do believe the Blazers have another legit run or two in this core anchored by Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum. They weren't even at full strength, as you mentioned, because of the season-ending Nurkic injury. The additions of Rodney Hood and Enes Kanter along the way, and the emergence of Seth Curry all helped. But if they remain intact, it'll be nice to see that team build with a training camp and full season together.
Portland has proved to be a legit top-four team in the West. But this series was all about the Warriors reestablishing their dominance and proving they were capable of being who they were before Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins landed on the Bay. Five straight Finals appearances. First time that's been done in more than 50 years. Now, here's my question, Lang: Is Durant essentially in a no-win situation? If he comes back and they win it all, they were on course to do it without him. If he comes back and they lose in the Finals, the narrative would be his return disrupted what they had going.
KD has come a long way to end up facing the same issues he did when he arrived, hasn't he?

You talking about the Blazers coming along in the wrong decade reminds me of when I was an Atlanta Hawks fan growing up. Those Hawks teams had so many very good players (Dominique Wilkins, Kevin Willis, Doc Rivers, Randy Wittman, etc), but they came along at the same time as Michael Jordan and the Bulls. I mean, talk about a road block. We knew the Hawks were good, but they were never going to get past that goat-shaped bottleneck. Sometimes, I guess, you just shrug and keep after it.
Regarding the Warriors, I saw a clip the other day of Jason Williams on one of the ESPN morning argument shows, and he was bothered by the Oakland crowd chanting "MVP" while Curry was at the free throw line.
There was something that bothered @RealJayWilliams last night during Game 2 of Warriors vs. Blazers.
Here's what it is: pic.twitter.com/DCjnY29WZr
— Get Up (@GetUpESPN) May 17, 2019
Williams' reasoning was that the Warriors are actually KD's team, but fans see it as Curry's team. Now, I was not invited to join the argument, but I wish I'd been there to point out that the fans are correct. Curry was there during the Mark Jackson era, and Curry revitalized that franchise and that fan base. Curry won two MVP awards along the way, got them to a couple of NBA Finals, won a title, and made the franchise a place so desirable that Kevin Durant left another title-worthy franchise and joined up on Curry's team.
The Golden State Warriors are Stephen Curry's team. Kevin Durant is probably the best player on the team, but Kevin Durant is the best player on Stephen Curry's team. Doesn't matter if KD stays or goes, the Warriors are Curry's team. Durant got some titles and Finals MVP awards, but he will probably forever be primarily defined by the career choices he's made instead of his basketball greatness. Which isn't exactly fair, but that's just the way it is, shouts to Bruce Hornsby.
Speaking of morning argument shows on ESPN, Magic Johnson popped up one earlier this week and threw more shade at Lakers GM Rob Pelinka than a set of velvet drapes. What in the world was going on there, and how do the Lakers make their way out of this mess? When the face of your franchise is critical of the front office, how do you repair that rift? Or can you even mend it?
Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2019 7:50 PM
Magic channeled his inner Nas and went Ether. He conjured up his inner 2Pac and went 'Hit 'Em Up.' He summoned his inner Ice Cube and went 'No Vaseline.' I could go on and on and on with the greatest dis tracks in hip-hop history. Magic certainly didn't hold any punches in knocking out Pelinka, rolling Jennie under the bus (again) and making sure LeBron knew that not even King James could stop Magic from going Magic when Magic wants to go full Magic.
The dysfunction is real in L.A. This was worse than a reality show. They've made LeBron a bit of a sympathetic figure in terms of the choice he made to join the Lakers. And I didn't even think that was possible. The only way the Lakers get out of this is to figure out a way to get the stubborn Pelicans to finally deal Anthony Davis to Los Angeles and replace the Brandon Ingram element of the trade with the No. 4 pick going back in the package to New Orleans. From there, the Lakers can chart their path to one of the free agent wings on the market or even figure a way to scrounge up enough cap space to acquire another top-tier player this summer. But that seems like a longshot at this point. No one seems willing to help the Lakers.
Magic spoke his truth, as he said. And there are few people in business or basketball who can get away with doing it the way he did it. That freedom had to be refreshing on many levels. Now, one of the most storied franchises in NBA history is left to pick up the pieces – again.
Lang, we'll get out of here on this: For the first time since 1984, all five of the first picks in the draft made the All-Rookie First Team, which was announced this week. Jaren Jackson Jr. joined Deandre Ayton, Luka Doncic, Marvin Bagley III and Trae Young. There's no chance that group will be as good as the one anchored all those years ago by Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and Hakeem Olajuwon in 1984. But does this group have the potential to rival the 2003 class highlighted by LeBron, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh?
Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2019 9:27 AM
The short answer, Mike, is nope. As good as last year's draft class has shown themselves to be – and they've looked very good, to be certain – there is no LeBron in that class, which is to say a player where the ceiling is the roof, to paraphrase Michael Jordan himself. As great as Jaren and Luka and Trae were this season, I don't know if there is a player in their class who projects as an all-timer. Like, as great as Jaren is, and he clearly could become a great power forward, but I don't know if he will become arguably the greatest player of all-time.
To me, that's what made all those players you mentioned so memorable. They weren't just good, they all became great. And I feel like for the players of the 2018 class, that should be their goal. That's how good they could be. Those guys are all already basically NBA rotation players or better. Now it's time for them to set their sights even higher.

Q: Make Django ListView display horizontal rather than vertical I have just started learning Django and I am trying to display some blogs while following the tutorial https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Server-side/Django/Introduction. I have a list view class (shown below). However, the elements appear one after the other on seperate lines.
Is there any way I can fix this so, say, three elements appear on one line? I tried using
#all-blogs {
    display: inline-flex;
}

but this makes everything appear in one line. Here is my code.
ListView Class:
class BlogListView(generic.ListView):
    model = Blog
    context_object_name = 'all_blogs'
    paginate_by = 15

blog_list.html

  {% for blog in all_blogs %}

{{ blog.title }}

By: {{blog.author}}

{{blog.published}}

{{blog.description}}

  {% endfor %}

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

A: You can use css grid to layout your blogs. The css to organize 3 blogs in one row is:
#all-blogs{
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;
}

However this is not responsive and will not organize properly on different screen sizes. You can look up how to make grid or flexbox responsive online.

The data-driven information age has precipitated massive disruption. 90% of the world's data was created in the past 2 years, and real-time analytics has produced foundational shifts to civilization. Our underlying metaphors and worldviews are fundamentally changing as our perception of the NOW becomes shorter, and basic clock-rate of our lives gets faster.
In this presentation, internet futurist Nova Spivack puts the contemporary shift towards Nowism into context. Outlining the dramatic implications as our technology, thinking, and culture shift from the future-oriented focus of the Industrial Age to the now-centric focus of the Information Age, he'll explore the future of the present.

Q: Can "glade" and "mist" go together? Can I say "a glade in the mist", meaning a spot where there is no mist or where the mist is not dense?

A: A glade is a treeless area in a forest. A "glade in the mist" would be a treeless area in a forest that is in the mist.
If you want to talk a mist-less patch in a misty area, you could talk about a break in the mist, an opening in the mist, or a void in the mist.

We're excited to announce our newest enhancement to our onboarding software. We've added an "online money transfer" option that makes our account opening platform even easier for users and more efficient and profitable for our clients. Since thirdstream is the first onboarding company to offer a viable alternative to account funding in online onboarding, clients using cumulus will be among the first in the country to pass along this convenience to their customers or members.
One of the biggest barriers to online account opening is the need for the applicant to mail in a cheque, a necessary step to fund the account and verify the identity of the applicant. However, with cheque usage declining rapidly and the expectation for paperless online transactions increasing exponentially, requiring a cheque to open an account online is becoming an outdated practice. Not only does it alienate a growing pool of people who simply do not use cheques, it also creates friction and abandonment in the onboarding process. In early 2016, our product development team, led by Jeff Coomber, began investigating better ways to fund the account and verify identity.
Their efforts have led to a unique solution that removes the need for a cheque altogether. Referred to internally as "Online Money Transfers" (OMT), we have developed an added functionality that brings together instant account verification (IAV) and electronic funds transfer (EFT).
The main advantage of our OMT is that applicants are no longer required to submit a cheque. Since IAV satisfies the Fintrac requirement for proof of a Canadian FI account, the applicant is free to use another method to fund the account. That is where EFT comes in. Using the IAV data to populate the EFT file creates a seamless and efficient experience for the user.
For more information or to view a demo of how OMT could work for your FI, contact Keith at 403-381-1360 or by email at keith@thirdstream.ca.
Any of your credit union clients using the functionality of online transfer to fund a new account opening?
Can you accommodate funding a new account with a photo of the funding cheque taken on a mobile device?


1872. 2-storey, L-plan, gabled villa with decorative bargeboards, deep bracketed eaves, corner turret, canted windows and decorative cast-iron finials to gables and turret. This is a compact, but well-designed villa with very good architectural detailing. It occupies a prominent position on the main road through St Fillans and makes a positive contribution to the streetscape.
L-plan villa with advanced gables to SW (principal) and SE (side) elevations, with conical-roofed stair turret at right corner of principal elevation and stone porch with timber-boarded front door in re-entrant angle. There is a 4-light canted window with slate roof to SW gable, and a bipartite window above it. Over the porch is a small oculus window; the upper part of the stair is lit by 3 staggered narrow windows. At the ground floor of the SE gable is an unusual 2-light canted window with a blind panel between the lights. The NE (rear) elevation has a gable to the right hand side, and a single-storey service outshot across the ground floor. It is irregularly fenestrated and there is a timber-boarded back door at the centre of the service outshot. The NW (side) elevation is unfenestrated except for a narrow window at the ground floor and a small dormer with very deep eaves to the roof. The house has a base course, long and short quoins, and window margins, and stop-chamfered openings. The bargeboards have pierced decoration and are supported on paired brackets. The chimney stacks are corniced and have decorative clay cans.
Interior: curved timber staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters and mahogany handrail. Timber chimneypieces and working timber shutters in 2 principal rooms. Timber panelled interior doors and cornicing throughout.
Materials: squared, snecked whinstone with cream sandstone dressings; random rubble masonry to rear. Timber sash and case windows with predominantly plate glass glazing. Graded grey slate roof.
above wall with anthemion and daisy motifs. Cast iron gatepiers; probably later wrought iron gate.
Ancillary Building: 3-door ancillary outbuilding behind house. Slate roof; timber-boarded doors; chamfered ashlar door architraves. Boathouse of circa 1930; stone with piended slate roof.
Formerly called Beaconsfield. According to the owner, the house was built in 1872, but the architect is unknown. Plans for alterations in the Drummond Estate Archives are for the garage at the side of the house, and for minor plumbing-related alterations inside, including the creation of two bathrooms. The plans are undated and unsigned, but were probably drawn up in about 1930. Although the alterations only affected a small part of the house, the plans give floor plans for the entire building.

In fire protection, an accelerant is any substance or mixture that accelerates or speeds the development and escalation of fire. Accelerants are often used to commit arson, and some accelerants may cause an explosion. Some fire investigators use the term "accelerant" to mean any substance that initiates and promotes a fire without implying intent or malice.

A fire is a self-sustaining, exothermic oxidation reaction that emits heat and light. When a fire is accelerated, it can produce more heat, consume the reactants more quickly, burn at a higher temperature, and increase the spread of the fire. An accelerated fire is said to have a higher "heat release rate," meaning it burns more quickly.

Fire investigation

Indicators of an incendiary fire or arson can lead fire investigators to look for the presence of accelerants in fire debris. Accelerants can leave behind evidence of their presence and use. Accelerants present in areas they should not be can indicate an incendiary fire or arson. Investigators often use special dogs known as accelerant detection canines trained to smell ignitable liquids. The dog can pinpoint areas for the investigator to collect samples. Fire debris submitted to forensic laboratories employ sensitive analytical instruments with GC-MS capabilities for forensic chemical analysis.

Types of accelerants
Many accelerants are hydrocarbon-based fuels, sometimes referred to as petroleum distillates: gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, turpentine, butane, isopropyl alcohol, Lacquer, Methyl alcohol, and various other flammable solvents. These accelerants are also known as ignitable liquids. Ignitable liquids can leave behind tell-tale marks in the fire debris. These irregular burn patterns can indicate the presence of an ignitable liquid in a fire.

The properties of some ignitable liquids make them dangerous accelerants. Many ignitable liquids have high vapor pressures, low flash points and a relatively wide range between their upper and lower explosive limit. This allows ignitable liquids to ignite easily, and when mixed in a proper air-fuel ratio, readily explode. Many arsonists who use generous amounts of gasoline have been seriously burned or killed igniting their fire.

Available combustibles

Common household items and objects can accelerate a fire. Wicker and foam have high surface to mass ratios and favorable chemical compositions and thus burn easily and readily. Arsonists who use large amounts of available combustible material rather than ignitable liquids try to avoid detection. Using large fuel loads can increase the rate of fire growth as well as spread the fire over a larger area, thus increasing the amount of fire damage. Inappropriate amounts and types of fuel in a particular area can indicate arson. Whether available combustible materials constitute an accelerant depends on the intent of the person responsible for their use.

Sales of certain accelerants are limited to the particular group allowed to purchase them for trainings and fire demolitions (to train new firefighters).

Cleaner, Greener Bhopal Ahead
Despite a never-before surge in population and increase in the area under its jurisdiction, the Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) has geared itself up to take on the challenge of providing quality civic service to the city-dwellers. Ensuring better cleanliness, developing civic amenities at par with metropolitan cities and keeping the city environment pollution-free are high on the BMC agenda, writes Vishwas Dass of Elets News Network (ENN)
Bhopal — the City of Lakes, which has seen a tremendous growth in the recent past, experiences huge influx of people from both adjoining as well as far-flung areas. They come to the State Capital to pursue their dream of a better career and life.
The Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) has chalked out elaborate plans for the solid waste management (SWM) transfer stations, retrofitting of energy-efficient LED lights, conserving lakes, heritage zones and Smart Card system to bring all the essential services to a single platform for citizens' convenience. As part of its IT initiatives, BMC is toying with an idea of installing telecom signal receivers on the streetlight poles to strengthen telecom connectivity.
The city's population has gone up from 19 lakh to 22 lakh, jurisdiction from 280 sq km to 460 sq km and the number of wards from 70 to 85 after the last year's delimitation exercise. The rise in population has increased the BMC responsibility to render better civic services to its citizens.
Incidentally, BMC takes pride in being India's first and only urban local body to have fully implemented Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).
The Corporation is also successfully operating the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS), having the longest corridor of 22 kms in the city, which has given a reliable and faster mode of transportation to the residents. BRTS is aimed at encouraging people to use public transport, which is efficient and helps in keeping the environment clean and green.
In the area of lake conservation, BMC is the best equipped civic body across India, with its high-tech tools and devices like amphibious excavator, de-weeding machines and speed boats. BMC has 14 lakes under its limits and has an elaborate plan in place for the conservation of the same. It has a plan to replace its age-old 'piyao' (water dispensers) with potable water ATMs. The Corporation intends to provide thirsty citizens free water to drink and cross-subsidise through with commercial marketing.
Given the kind of trouble women often face due to lack of clean toilets in big cities, the Bhopal Municipal Corporation has floated tenders to engage a private firm to develop four 'She Lounges' under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) mode. These lounges would be equipped with all basic amenities, like hygienic toilets, Wi-Fi connectivity, ATMs, bio incinerator to treat sanitary napkins, sofa and a novelty shop to cater to their needs. And, that is not all; the women would be able to use these facilities absolutely free of cost.
Keeping environmental concerns in mind, BMC has decided to replace conventional streetlight bulbs with energy-efficient LED lights to slash electricity bills and conserve environment. Currently, the city has around 45,000 streetlight poles being maintained by the Bhopal civic body.
It may be noted that Bhopal generates around 700 metric tonnes of solid waste every day, which consists of nearly 60 per cent of green waste. BMC would also set up bio-methanation plants to generate methane gas from solid trash and restaurant wastes to reduce carbon footprints. It can also be used for commercial purposes. If everything goes as planned, there would be one such plant at each garbage transfer station.
Efforts are on to convert water hyacinth (lake wastes) into manure. Once it goes fully operational, the civic body would not charge people to convert manure from hyacinth. Besides, there is a plan to develop at least 10 garbage transfer stations in Bhopal.
Another ambitious project in the BMC pipeline is to provide Smart Cards to people having properties in their names for paying property tax to the civic body. It is a futuristic project that envisages bringing all the essential services like petro card, BRTS and library cards to a single platform to make citizens' lives easier.
The Bhopal Municipal Corporation has chalked out elaborate plans for solid waste management (SWM) transfer stations, retrofitting of energy-efficient LED lights, conserving lakes, heritage zones and Smart Card system to bring all the essential services to a single platform for citizens' convenience
According to the plan, people can use smart card for depositing any kind of tax, like water, electricity, land registry and property, among others, and even for travelling in buses and Metros. The card would have people's personal database like Aadhaar, Elector's Photo Identity Card (EPIC) and PAN. Talks are on to tie up with banks for rolling out the Smart Card service. People will find it of great help, as they would be able to avail multiple services through one card.
Given the determination of the Bhopal Municipal Corporation to improve the quality of civic services in the city, the days do not seem far off when the Lake City will be able to rival with the best cities across the country.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The family of a man killed by police who apparently mistook him for the gunman in an Alabama mall shooting asked the state attorney general Monday to meet with them and release video of the shooting.
The parents of Emantic "EJ" Bradford Jr. held a news conference in Birmingham to ask for an update on the investigation.
The 21-year-old was killed by a Hoover police officer responding to gunfire at the Galleria shopping mall Thanksgiving night.
Police initially described Bradford as the gunman but later said they were mistaken. Police said Bradford had a gun as officers responded to the scene of the shooting.
"All I'm asking for is the truth. I want the truth. I want to know what happened. Release the video so everyone can see. … Let us see for ourselves what happened," said April Pipkins, Bradford's mother.
Attorneys for the family said they have seen a portion of the video of the police shooting but a lack of transparency has caused "great mistrust." Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall took over the investigation of the fatal shooting from the local district attorney last month.
Bradford's father said Marshall should meet with them.
"Meet us face to face and let us know what is going on," Emantic Bradford Sr. said.
Marshall's office declined to comment Monday.
Another man, Erron Brown, 20, is charged with attempted murder of a person wounded in the gunfire that preceded the killing.

Twelve Angry Men
Twelve Angry Men is a film that chronicles the deliberation process of a jury in the decision of a murder case. The jury, while comprised of twelve men, depicts men from all walks of life—from a seemingly affluent architect to a man who has lived in slums all his life. As such, the issue of diversity seems to be the driving source behind the conflict of the film. In the beginning of the film, Mr. Davis (Henry Fonda, Juror #8) finds himself the sole juror who believes the accused is possibly wrongly accused of the crime. All other eleven men are certain that the boy is guilty. However, Davis smartly utilizes some key tools to move his cause forward. Some of the other men are outraged that Davis could even fathom that the boy is innocent and promptly lash out towards him. Davis, instead of retaliating in kind, uses polite and friendly talk to express his concerns. In fact, throughout the entire film, it is probably Davis's amicable nature as well as cool reasoning that most persuades the jury members. He approaches the case in a naive style. He uses the phrase, "what if..." and "it might be possible" when he presents his ideas. He does not try to force his opinions on the other jurors; instead he just wants to understanding the reasoning behind their guilty verdict. Another example of a power tactic used by Davis is bargaining. All the other jurors feel that their time is being wasted. They were sure of their guilty verdicts and the mere thought of spending time discussing something they were already sure of was infuriating. As a compromise (or bargain), Davis proposed a set time limit for discussion. Therefore, the jury members were more comfortable agreeing to discuss knowing that if the conversation bore no fruit after the time limit expired Davis would back down. Davis, however, was not the only character who utilized power tactics. We also see
Democracy In Reginald Rose's 12 Angry Men
Initially his voice of reason implores to the conscience of the reader to "deliberate honestly and thoughtfully". Although the foreman is perceived as speaking to the jury here, Rose writes in such a way that his words are also directed at the audience. This can be deduced from the foreman's appeals that if "there is any reasonable doubt" a "verdict of not guilty" must be brought forth. Leading this charge is Juror 8. Although unsupported at the beginning, he is devoted to justice, and is initially sympathetic toward the 19-year-old defendant.
Transformational Leadership - 12 Angry Men
The old man who first changed his vote acknowledged this admirable transformational leadership quality when he commented: "it is not easy to stand alone against the ridicule of others. He gambled for support and I gave it to him". A transformational leader is a role model: • He powerfully modeled having a thoughtful, investigative and inquiring mind to the rest of the jury members by re-examining the key evidences of the prosecutor and the 2 witnesses. Other members of the jury soon followed his example and started raising "reasonable doubts" which led to a unanimous "Not guilty" verdict. • He Frequently reinforces that the burden of proof is on the prosecution and that if there is reasonable doubt, then they should acquit the kid • This character has a very clear idea of what the goal is here.
12 Angry Men Thesis
The film presents the story so that Juror 8 would have to persuade the rest of the jurors to choose not guilty. But I believe what happened in the room is that each of the jurors persuaded each other but it was through Juror 8 that they were able to exercise their critical thinking skills. The jury was convinced that the defendant was guilty based on solid evidence that was resented. They took the case at face value and did not bother to question the time frame and events that happened were plausible. The other jurors neglected the details in the story and that is what made Juror 8 stand out from the rest.
The Relevance Of The 12 Angry Men To Psychology
The film "Twelve Angry Men" is a very interesting and captivating one. This film features twelve jurors who are middle-aged men. A young boy is on trial for the murder of his father and these jurors are faced with the responsibility of deciding whether or not he is guilty. However, the room that they deliberate in is very uncomfortable and hot. As they deliberate they are weighing the facts to ensure that they come up with a unanimous decision.
8th Juror Character Analysis
Each of the others is eventually compelled to change his mind at least once (12 juror changes his mind 3 times), usually thanks to an argument posited by 8th. Yet while he is firm in his position, he is not inflexible. Rather, he regularly and openly admits to his own uncertainties, frequently answering others' questions with an honest 'I don't know'; by not hiding his vulnerability he ultimately wins over the entire jury. Similarly, when he first justifies his vote of 'not guilty', he states ' I haven't got anything brilliant. I only know as much as you do' (p.13).
Who Is Juror 7 In 12 Angry Men
He starts to listen to the contradictions of the evidence the court and what lawyers came up with, he also took all of the evidence that Juror VIII had proved in the juror room. He sees that the other juror's reasons for voting "Not guilty" actually makes sense. He just didn't want to show them that he was wrong and they were right. After a while he grows tired of their arguments and how the right "not guilty" side is. He starts to agree and when he's asked why he changed his mind, he simply replied.

Judge Taylor ends up being very helpful towards Tom; no other white person besides Atticus would take the time to think about a black man. It's hard to give Tom a fair chance when the whole jury's skin color is white, and the whole town is against you, but Judge Taylor encourages Atticus to try his best. When the case ends its fair to say Judge wasn't exactly happy with the outcome, partially because Tom has to go to jail to pay his time. Beyond his feelings, Judge Taylor continues to try his best to make people realize how innocent Tom really
12 Angry Men Essay on Reasonable Doubt
The accused is a young 19 year old boy, and the victim is the young boy's father. When the jurors enter the Jury Room, they all think this case is open and shut – until they take the initial vote, and discover one man voted in favor of not-guilty. All the other jurors seem to think that all the evidence is laid out for them, while Juror Eight is not so sure. Juror Eight reviews all the evidence and is able to find many ways in which reasonable doubt was established. Specifically, in the testimony of the old woman, through the weapon that was used to murder the father, and finally through the testimony of the old man.
Juror 3 In 12 Angry Men
Juror #1 is the Foreman of the jury. He is serious about his role and tries to run the proceedings in an orderly fashion, reminding the jurors "Just let's remember we've got a first degree murder charge here. If we vote guilty, we send the accused to the electric chair." Juror #2 is timid, quiet and unsure of himself, finding it hard to maintain an independent opinion until he finds the courage to point out an important question about how the murder was actually committed. Juror #3 is the antagonist. He is a forceful, intolerant bully who sees the case as simple and believes the accused is absolutely guilty.
Interpersonal Communication - 12 Angry Men
HRMG 6200 / Section 6 August 26, 2012 Week 2 – Interpersonal Behavior Interpersonal Communications: "12 Angry Men" (1957) In the film 12 Angry Men a group of twelve white male jurors are tasked to provide a verdict of guilty or not guilty in a case judging an 18-year-old minority (Puerto Rican) boy of murdering his father. All 12 jurors come from a different walk of life and although all members are Caucasian, the group is extremely diverse. As a result, several personality conflicts emerge and highlight the many differences these twelve strangers have (cultural/value based/assumptions). These individual differences and previously formed biases play a major role in each juror's opinion, which have an affect on the overall decision-making process and ultimately the final verdict of the jury. This analysis and study of group dynamics will concentrate on the importance of interpersonal as well as intergroup communication.
More about Twelve Angry Men


Vang Vieng in Laos is tourism-oriented little town, around 150km north of Vientiane Capital of Laos. The small town of Vang Vieng is nestled on Nam Song River and encompassed by the karst hill landscapes. The town was named Muang Song formerly, but then it was renamed Vang Vieng during the French colonial time in the 1890s. In recent years, the backpackers and almost Laos package tours include the title of Vang Vieng.
With the huge influx of backpackers coming every day, Vang Vieng becomes a backpacker-oriented destination, in which the streets are dotted with numerous guesthouses, bars, restaurants, etc. The thrill-seekers, in general, find it incredibly exciting to travel to Vang Vieng and try out the enjoyable activities including tubing (the young people sit in the big inner tube floating downriver) and kayaking on Nam Song River, swimming and diving in Blue Lagoon, hot-air balloon riding, rock climbing, and more. The town of Vang Vieng owns the picturesque landscapes, making it a piece of heaven on earth. Here, you find the romantic rivers being in harmony with the dreamlike karst mountains, the scenic cliffs, and the mysterious cave systems. Together with the fascinating nature for adventures, Vang Vieng has the 16th-17th-century monasteries and the traditional Hmong villages for the visitors to rest peacefully and learn about the local culture as well as spirituality.
Tubing is the unique and favorite activity to enjoy in Nam Song River. The tubing trip allows the inner-tubers to discover Vang Vieng's water world excitingly. This activity is perfect for the outdoor people and thrill-seekers who are long for the ultimate fun. However, the downsides of tubing did happen when the young backpackers drunk beer and tubed down the river uncontrollably, which urged the Lao government to announce the changes for better in 2012. Then, the unsecured bars are not allowed to run this activity, but tubing itself is still worth experiencing that lets you explore the amazing scenery of karst over the river. You now can rent a tube for 55,000 kips, for example, and then enjoy tubing downriver in the designated route, ending at the seasonable bamboo bridge. It is required to return the tub by 18:00 or later you will be fined. It must point out that: Tubing is not for those that cannot swim.
Once exploring the ground of Vang Vieng, it's time to go watching its sky via the hot-air balloon riding. Please note that Vang Vieng is one of the few places to enjoy the affordable and dramatic hot-air balloon tour in Southeast Asia. While some book the early balloon ride to view the stunning karst landscape in the sunrise and mist, the others are eager for the late journey to discover the different charm of the town in the sunset. Whatever choices, the hot-air balloon ride provides the dramatic opportunities to see Vang Vieng from the top dimension. The stress-free and enjoyable balloon journey is what you desire for the new experience just in Vang Vieng, Laos.
Blue Lagoon is an extraordinary attraction to give you a feel of Avatar right in Vang Vieng. Just take a tuk-tuk to reach the prettiest swimming hole called Blue Lagoon where the blue streams flow slowly out of the lush jungle. Swimming in this blue heaven, people can relax and cool off, especially during the hot afternoons. More and more dramatic pictures about Blue Lagoon have been shared, and all agrees on its evergreen blue charm. The Lagoon has long been famous for the turquoise blue, cool, and transparent water. Besides, there are some trees offering the ideal shade and background for relaxation. Here, you also find the rope swings to enjoy swinging lazily. This slice of paradise is also blessed with the natural cave named Tham Poukham (or Cave of the Golden Crab), making up the impeccable shelter with the stalactites and stalagmites in the shapes of the golden crabs, and the bronze reclining Buddha statue inside. If wanting to explore the cave deeper, remember to bring a torch!
If tubing doesn't interest you, but you're keen on the water sport, please consider kayaking and canoeing! It is possible to hire a kayak to sail down the river for hours or a full day. The river trip is a must to try out in Vang Vieng. You can enjoy either kayaking or canoeing toward the Water Cave and stop by the local houses for lunch if wanted. While the delightful kayaking trip lets you discover the charming riverscape of Vang Vieng peacefully, the safe canoeing provides the scenic ride along the river. In either case, please make sure you enjoy these water activities in a safe manner. It must be said that kayaking and canoeing might be not the top choices for anybody who cannot swim. Anyhow, the availability of life jackets can ultimately help.
If wanting to explore the pretty town of Vang Vieng on your own, then biking is the other top thing to do. Just rent a bicycle to get out and bike to the surroundings of the town including the spectacular rice fields, the long-lasting karsts, the farming activities, and the traditional local houses. Once witnessing the countryside living ways, you are back to the basics of life in which stress and bustle have no place.

The good recommendations for biking are to visit the famous Blue Lagoon, the stunning Kaeng Nyui Waterfall, the Water Cave, the little village of Ban Patang on Nam Song River, and the magnificent Phtang cliff. Apparently, biking brings to the hidden and beautiful slices of paradises. Along the ride, expect to feast the eyes with the fabulous and spacious rice fields.
People can enjoy rock climbing year round in the grandiose limestone karst landscape in Vang Vieng. For the safest climb, you're advised to work with Adam's Climbing School founded in 2004 and dedicated to offering the rock climbing courses for beginners and the experienced ones. You can join the half-day or the full-day courses, or the courses in several days, due to the tour schedule. The teacher will give instructions for climbing skills from the basic knots to the multi-pitch climb. This outdoor and challenging activity is only suitable for those who come prepared with equipment and skill. In general, all companies in Vang Vieng that offer rock climbing activity arrange it in the same place, for instance, in a cave 2.5km west of the town.
November – February: The sky is blue and sunny, with the little chilly atmosphere in the morning and evening. So, this is the best period to see Vang Vieng and enjoy the outdoor activities.
March – May: These are the hottest months, especially in April when celebrates Laos New Year. The cool-off ceremony of splashing water on each other is fascinating.
June and July: The weather becomes humid with some rains.
August and October: The rain comes thick and fast. People say these are the ideal months for kayaking and tubing downriver.

In the UK Mail, Connie Yates and Chris Gard assert that five world specialists have recommended their baby receive the experimental treatment they have long sought.
This is in stark contrast to the official opinion of London's Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) that Charlie cannot be helped and attempts to do so could harm him.
Connie told reporters she has sent a letter to Prime Minister May pointing out evidence in favor of the experimental treatment that is not part of the court record. She is hoping that the Prime Minister will use it in her private meeting with President Donald Trump scheduled today during the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany.
Also early Friday comes news of two developments– born of urgency and desperation– designed to help block the imminent death of Charlie.
In February Connie and Chris originally sought a court order to compel GOSH to release their son, who suffers from Mitochondrial Depletion Syndrome (MDS), a debilitating chromosomal condition. They intended to travel with him to the U.S. for "nucleoside bypass" treatment, but were rejected in every court.
As Charlie's plight became more desperate and more public, Pope Francis and President Donald Trump have offered to help in any way possible. Today's developments, which began earlier, involve (1) two American hospitals and (2) the Vatican.
The first development People magazine reported, came from New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center . They offered to admit Charlie for treatment onsite or, alternatively, to ship the experimental bypass medication with instructions to GOSH where Charlie has been a patient since October.
The second hopeful development for Charlie is possible Vatican issuance of a passport for him. The thought is that if Charlie is a citizen of the independent, sovereign state he would not be subject to the "death warrant" supported by the British and European courts.
GOSH officials continue not to release any comment on the situation, attributing the silence to their duty to guard patient privacy.
Frantic calls to save Charlie from an unjust death continue to flood the Internet and inspire ongoing public events.
Connie disclosed to the BBC that the Pope's intervention earlier this week came after she wrote a letter to him.
Connie described to the ITV audience the "absolute living hell" of recent days, having expected their son to die last week. "You can't even put it into words, how horrible it is that he's our own flesh and blood and we don't have a say in his life," she said.
