My father was a country preacher. Did not like big churches and cities. He was a man who lived what he preached. I have seen him repair fences, clean out wells for the widows.
He and I were close despite a sister and brother who did everything they could to make me look bad to him, as they were insecure and felt threatened by my father and my closeness. We did a lot of discussions on life, honor, morals, theology.
Being a minister, and I a preachers kid, you got most of the gossip about preachers doing what they told others not to do. Many times my father would point out a minister, and tell me. "Now son, I know we are not supposed to judge, but if I had to guess, I would say that preacher will hit hell wide open".
Anytime I see, hear or hear of John Hagee, by fathers words ring in my ear.
Time to get real Americans.
Time to get er done!

Many people will be unaware that Buckingham Palace has a history which goes back over 500 years, has changed hands on numerous occasions and much of the building which remains today is from the original structure built in the early 1700. Buckingham Palace is located in the City of Westminster and is known throughout the world as the home of the Queen of England. It is used to host a number of Royal occasions, state entertainment and is now one of the best-known tourist attractions in the world. However, Buckingham Palace as we know it today started life as Buckingham House and can be traced back over 500 years.
The land where Buckingham Palace is located was once marshland beside the river Tyburn which still runs below the courtyard and the south wing of the sprawling development. The land itself has changed hands on numerous occasions in the past and owners include Edward the confessor, Edith of Wessex, William the Conqueror and Geoffrey de Mandeville who bequeathed the site to the monks of Westminster Abbey.
The turning point for the royal connection came in 1531 when Henry VIII acquired the property which hosted the Hospital of St James (which is now St James's Palace) and this was joined with the land given to the Westminster Abbey when Henry VIII acquired this in 1536. This was the first time that the land on which Buckingham Palace was back in royal hands since William the Conqueror gave it away over 500 years earlier.
The first house to be built on the site was finished in 1624 under the orders of Sir William Blake although this was the start of a very mixed and very controversial period for the site. Legal arguments, missing documentation, omissions of royal approval and confusion as to actually owned the site continued for many years. However, the first major building to be erected in the current confines of Buckingham Palace was Goring House although after this burnt down in 1674 we saw the building of Arlington House which is now the south wing of today's Palace.
In 1703 the Duke of Buckingham and Normandy decided to build a substantial house on the land and this is still the central part of today's Buckingham Palace. In 1761 Buckingham House was sold to George III for a mere £21,000 and was originally acquired as a private retreat for the Royal family. As Buckingham House became a central piece of the Royal family in UK we also saw St James's Palace come to the fore as the official and ceremonial royal residence. Indeed to this day visitors to the Palace are welcomed into the Court of St James's even though they are actually visiting Buckingham Palace.
It was not until 1837 when Queen Victoria was on the throne that Buckingham Palace as it is now became the official principal Royal residence. Initially Buckingham Palace was something of a shambles with poor heating, lazy staff, terrible working conditions and an unkempt and unclean environment. When Queen Victoria married Prince Albert in 1840 he took it upon himself to totally reorganise the staffing situation at the now principal Royal residence and we saw the emergence of the Buckingham Palace we know today.
The original building has been expanded and new areas added to the site which now houses numerous members of the Royal family and many full-time staff members. The East Front is the more visible side of the Buckingham Palace development which faces onto The Mall and contains the famous balcony which the Queen and the Royal family use to acknowledge the public.
However, the Palace was somewhat neglected after Queen Victoria was widowed upon the death of Prince Albert. The Queen withdrew from the principal Royal residence to live in Windsor Castle, Balmoral Castle and Osborne House although officially Buckingham Palace still remained the focal point of the Royal family.
The Palace itself contains 77,000 m² of floor space spread across a number of highly impressive rooms used for a variety of functions, staffing requirements and entertainment. Buckingham Palace also has its own picture gallery which contains work by Rembrandt, van Dyck, Rubens and Vermeer many of which are priceless.
Rather bizarrely Buckingham Palace has a number of state rooms which were named after VIP visitors who often travelled from around the world to visit the Royal family. In total there are 19 state rooms, 52 principal bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and a massive 78 bathrooms. There were a number of attempts to bomb Buckingham Palace during World War I although it was World War II which saw a number of casualties and major damage to the surrounding buildings from the German attacks.
The Nazis were known to believe that the destruction of Buckingham Palace would see the British resolve shatter and make life very much easier as they sought to claim Britain as their own. However, when the Royal Chapel was destroyed in 1940, if anything this increased the resolve of the British people and improved the relationship between the Royal family and the UK public, something which has lasted to modern times.
In 1993 the Royal family took the massive decision to open Buckingham Palace to tourists and the public as a way to increase income for the Royal household and reduced dependence upon the taxpayers of the UK. While technically the Queen owns Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace these buildings, together with the possessions of the current monarch, are held in trust for the successors of the Queen and the nation as a whole. The same is true of the possessions within Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle which are held in trust for the nation.
While literally millions of tourists visit the Royal residence each year the Queen herself holds garden parties, receptions, audiences and banquets which involve upwards of 50,000 guests per year.
Buckingham Palace is perhaps the best-known building in the UK and it attracts literally millions and millions of tourists each year from around the world. It would be impossible to place a price on the value of Buckingham Palace in terms of its location, its history and its position as the Royal residence. It is situated in the City of Westminster and a focal point of London itself.


On May 21-26, 2018 scholars of the 2nd Fulbright Arctic Initiative Program came together in Canada, including both Russian scholars who participate in the program this year: Elena Gladun, Candidate of Law, Associate Professor of the Institute of State and Law of the Tyumen University, and Svetlana Tulaeva, Candidate of Social Sciences and Associate Professor of the North-West Institute of Management of RANEPA).
On the first day of the program in Ottawa the participants met with Canadian authorities in charge of the Arctic indigenous peoples affairs. The meeting focused on matters regarding the Arctic Council's work, improvement of economic and social aspects of the indigenous peoples' lives and development of effective management in the region. Also, the new Fulbrighters met with professors of the University of Ottawa and discussed their research on the topic.
The next four days were spent in Iqaluit, the capital of the Canadian territory of Nunavut. Major part of its population is Inuit. Residents of Iqaluit, like many other settlements in the Arctic zone, are forced to deal with such problems as adapting to climate change, social infrastructure develoment and combining traditional indigenous practices with modern industrial development. In Iqaluit, the scholars met with representatives of the Inuit autonomy, attended the meeting of the Assembly of First Nations, discussed the aspects of sustainable development of the indigenous population with representatives of the Inuit Circumpolar Council, and visited the local school. Getting familiar with Iqaluit's life is expected to assist the Fulbright scholars with elaborating their research projects which are aimed at adaptation of local communities and eastablishing a sustainable economy in the Arctic zone.
The Fulbright Arctic Initiative Program proved quite popular among applicants from all over Russia. In addition to that, projects that are in any way focused on development of the Arctic region can also be considered for the Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program applications.

Hurricane recovery plans for the BVI and beyond
Hurricanes Irma and Maria are still fresh in the mind of all of us who experienced them in the British Virgin Islands and wider Caribbean. These hurricanes have affected so many people, and everyone will have their own heart-breaking, moving and inspiring story to tell. I wanted to highlight a few, and share what I've been up to as well.
Image from Caribbean Buzz Helicopters
In the wake of the hurricanes, Virgin Unite has been working with Team Rubicon to bring practical, immediate and vital help to affected communities across the BVI. Lizzy Stileman, a member of Team Rubicon, shares her views about the impact of the hurricanes, and what needs to happen now. Meanwhile, John Ratliff – a long-time friend of Virgin Unite and member of our advisory council for the Virgin Unite Community – shares his story about flying out to the BVI to help on the ground. Below I've also shared Sam's moving film, Help Hope Hurricanes, sharing his view from Virgin Gorda in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.
Meanwhile, I have been continuing to rally aid and support for the BVI as we continue the recovery process. I recently met with more than 50 representatives of Caribbean governments and utility companies at the Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum in Miami. It was hosted by BMR Energy, one of Virgin Group's investments, and gave us all a platform to discuss plans to expand the use of renewable energy in the region.
We highlighted the importance of renewable energy – solar, wind, geothermal and others – to reduce costs, reduce the harm being done to the environment and increase the resilience of their electric systems to withstand future hurricanes. In the aftermath of Irma and Maria, this message resonated more than ever.
Image from the Branson Family
It was inspiring to see so many decision makers and stakeholders gathered together, committed to tackling climate action now, and putting clean energy as the centerpiece of rebuilding efforts in the Caribbean. There has never been a more important time to push for this type of infrastructure.
Before returning to the BVI, I also travelled to Puerto Rico to meet with governor Ricardo Rosselló. I wanted to meet in person to share my heartfelt thanks for the incredible support Puerto Rico gave to the BVI during Hurricane Irma. We also discussed plans to power Puerto Rico with more clean energy, and the Rocky Mountain Institute plans to complete a study on the most effective ways to do this. It was a really positive visit, testament to the amazing people in Puerto Rico, in such a testing time.

— Ricardo Rossello (@ricardorossello) October 22, 2017
Back in the BVI, I would echo Lizzy's words: "There is still so much work to do here and there are so many people suffering. It will take years to recover, but it will recover."
To help further support the affected communities please donate to the BVI Community Support Appeal and help us build a better, cleaner, stronger and more sustainable Caribbean region.

3 Landmarks
Ein Karem (also Ein Kerem) is an ancient village of the Jerusalem District and now a neighbourhood in southwest Jerusalem in Israel. According to Christian tradition, John the Baptist was born in Ein Karem, leading to the establishment of many churches and monasteries. In 2010 the neighborhood had a population of 2,000. It attracts three million visitors a year, one-third of them pilgrims from around the world.
Antiquity:
A spring that provides water to the village of Ein Karem stimulated settlement there from an early time. Pottery has been found nearby dating to the Middle Bronze Age. In the Israelite age it was the location of Beth HaKerem (Jeremiah 6:1; Nehemiah 3:14), where the traditional name comes from. A reservoir here was mentioned in the copper scroll. It was recorded during the Islamic conquest and again, under the name St. Jeehan de Bois, during the Crusades. Ottoman tax registers from 1596 showed a population of 29 Muslim families. During excavations in Ein Karem, a marble statue of Aphrodite (or Venus) was found, broken in two. It is believed to date from the Roman era and was probably toppled in Byzantine times. Today, the statue is at the Rockefeller Museum.
Christian traditions:
According to the Bible, Mary went "into the hill country, to a city of Judah" when she visited the home of Zechariah and Elizabeth. According to Catholic tradition and dogma, this Mary brought forth the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. Theodosius (530) says that the distance from Jerusalem to the place where Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, lived is five miles. The Jerusalem Calendar (dated before 638) mentions the village by name as the place of a festival in memory of Elizabeth celebrated on the twenty-eighth of August. The Anglo Saxon Saewulf on pilgrimage to Palestine in 1102-1103 wrote of a monastery in the area of Ein Karim dedicated to St. Sabas where 300 monks had been "slain by Saracens. The site of the crusader church was purchased by Father Thomas of Novaria in 1621. In 1672 the Franciscan order received a Firman from the Ottoman Sultan and 'large sums of mon[ies]' were expended in an extensive rebuilding program.
Modern history:
The population of Ein Kerem in 1931 was 2,637 and in 1944/45 it was 3,180, in each case including the smaller localities of Ayn al-Rawwas and Ayn al-Khandaq. The 1947 UN Partition Plan placed Ein Kerem in the Jerusalem enclave intended for international control. In February 1948 the village's 300 guerilla fighters were reinforced by a well-armed Arab Liberation Army force of mainly Syrian fighters, and on March 10 a substantial Iraqi detachment arrived in the village, followed within days by some 160 Egyptian fighters. On March 19, the villagers joined their foreign guests in attacking a Jewish convoy on the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem road. Immediately after the April 1948 massacre at the nearby village of Deir Yassin (2km to the north), most of the women and children in the village were evacuated. It was attacked by Israeli forces during the 10-day campaign of July 1948. The remaining civilian inhabitants fled on July 10–11. The Arab Liberation Army forcesת which had camped in the village left on July 14–16 after Jewish forces captured two dominating hilltops, Khirbet Beit Mazmil and Khirbet al-Hamama, and shelled the village. During its last days, Ein Kerem suffered from severe food shortages. Israel later incorporated the village into the municipal boundaries of Jerusalem. Ein Kerem was one of the few depopulated Arab localities which survived the war with most of the buildings intact. The abandoned homes were resettled with new immigrants. Over the years, the bucolic atmosphere attracted a population of artisans and craftsmen. In 1961, Hadassah founded its medical center on a nearby hilltop, including the Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem schools of medicine, dentistry, nursing, and pharmacology.
Church of St. John the Baptist:
There are two churches by this name in Ein Kerem. One is a Catholic church built in the second half of the 19th century on the remnants of earlier Byzantine and Crusader churches. Inside are the remains of an ancient mosaic floor and a cave where, according to Christian tradition, John the Baptist was born. Additionally some remnants below the infrastructure of the building suggests the presence of Mikve a Jewish baptism bath that is dated to the 2nd temple period. The church is mentioned in the Book of the Demonstration, attributed to Eutychius of Alexandria (940): "The church of Bayt Zakariya in the district of Aelia bears witness to the visit of Mary to her kinswoman Elizabeth." The church has been in the hands of the Franciscans since 1674. In 1941–1942 they conducted excavations in the area immediately west of the church and the adjoining monastery. Several rock-cut chambers and graves were found, as well as wine presses with mosaic floors and small chapels with mosaic tiling. The southern rock-cut chamber contained pottery of a type found elsewhere in Jerusalem, probably from the first century CE. The other is an Eastern Orthodox church built in 1894, also on the remnants of an ancient church.
Church of the Visitation:
The Church of the Visitation is located across the village to the southwest from St. John's. The ancient sanctuary there was built against a rock declivity. It is venerated as the pietra del nascondimento, the "stone in which John was concealed," in reference to the Protevangelium of James. The site is also attributed to John the Baptist's parental summer house, where Mary visited them. The modern church was built in 1955, also on top of ancient church remnants. It was designed by Antonio Barluzzi, an Italian architect, who designed many other churches in the Holy Land during the 20th century.
Les Soeurs de Notre-Dame de Sion: The monastery of Les Soeurs de Notre-Dame de Sion (Sisters of Our Lady of Zion) was founded by two brothers from France, Theodore and Marie Alphonse Ratisbonne, who were born Jewish and converted to Christianity. They established an orphanage here. Alphonse himself lived in the monastery and is buried in its garden.
"Moscovia" Monastery: Built by the Russian Orthodox Church at the end of the 19th century, this church (originally "Gorny Monastery" — ru:Горненский монастырь (Эйн-Карем)) was nicknamed "Moskovia" (Arabic for Moscow) by the local Arab villagers, because of its tented roof similarity to other Russian churches. The monastery has two churches enclosed within a compound wall.
St. Vincent:
St. Vincent-Ein Kerem is a home for physically or mentally handicapped children. Founded in 1954, St. Vincent-Ein Kerem is a non-profit enterprise under leadership of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul.
Mary's Spring: According to Christian tradition, this village fresh-water spring is the location where Mary and Elizabeth met. The spring waters are considered holy by some Catholic and Orthodox Christian pilgrims who visit the site and fill bottles with its waters. The spring was repaired and renovated by Baron Edmond de Rothschild. Arab inhabitants also built a mosque on the site, of which the maqam (shrine) still remains.

Virginia is home to four zoos and an aquarium in or near major cities, with animal collections in Richmond, Norfolk, Newport News and Roanoke, plus the state aquarium in Virginia Beach, combining to attract the lion's share of visitors. However, the Old Dominion State also features a number of other zoos set in smaller communities throughout the commonwealth.
The Virginia Zoo (virginiazoo.org), the oldest in the state, is in downtown Norfolk on 53 acres adjacent to Lafayette Park and along the banks of the Lafayette River. The zoo, which began acquiring animals in 1900, has more than 400 today, including African elephants, giraffes, orangutans, kangaroos, Asian black bears, white rhinoceros, tigers and a renowned lion exhibit. The zoo's train, the Norfolk Southern Express, offers guests a narrated 0.75-mile ride through several animal and plant collections. The Virginia Zoo is open daily, except major holidays, and offers annual memberships that include admission.
The Virginia Living Museum (thevlm.org) in Newport News is much more than a zoo, but it features a sizable collection of almost 250 species of animals native to the state. Included among its zoo and aquarium exhibits are several endangered species, including the loggerhead turtle, red wolf, American bald eagle, shortnose sturgeon and Eastern Hellbender, a giant salamander rarely glimpsed in the wild. The museum's outdoor trail winds among exhibits about other animals such as beavers, otters, foxes, coyotes, raccoons and bobcats. The Virginia Living Museum is open daily and also features a botanical preserve, science museum and planetarium.
The Metro Richmond Zoo (metrorichmondzoo.com) in Moseley, little more than a 30-minute drive southwest of downtown Richmond, has a collection of more than 1,500 animals from about 150 species, including lions, tigers, cheetahs, leopards, white rhinoceros and Asian black bears. The zoo features a Safari Train that takes guests through the park's African savannah, as well as a jungle carousel and Safari Sky Ride chairlift.

Shooting death of LaVoy Finicum justified, necessary, prosecutor says
By Greg Botelho and Michael Martinez, CNN
Updated 9:27 PM EST, Tue March 8, 2016
Video shows shooting of LaVoy Finicum
00:45 - Source: KOIN
Justice Department investigates how FBI agents fired two of eight shots
Transcript: LaVoy Finicum told police at roadblock, "You're gonna have to shoot me"
Finicum was among armed occupiers at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon
The investigation into the death of LaVoy Finicum, killed during the occupation of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in January, shows that the three fatal shots fired by Oregon State Police were justified "and, in fact, necessary," Malheur County District Attorney Dan Norris said Tuesday.
But the inspector general of the U.S. Justice Department is investigating how FBI agents also fired two shots, but neither struck Finicum, local authorities said.
"The question of who fired these shots has not been resolved," Greg Bretzing, the FBI's special agent in charge in Oregon, said Tuesday. "I can assure that the FBI is cooperating fully with the office of inspector general."
In total, eight shots were fired, though flash-bang grenades and gas projectiles were also deployed to ensure three remaining occupants in Finicum's truck surrendered peacefully, the investigation showed.
Authorities dismissed accounts that law officers fired more than 100 rounds of bullets, suggesting that the flash-bang grenades and projectiles may have been mistaken for gunfire.
'They're shooting'
The police provided reporters with video of Finicum's truck barreling at an estimated 70 mph toward a roadblock of two trucks forming a V in the middle of the road. A third vehicle was parked behind those trucks.
The video reveals a fast exchange of words between Finicum behind the wheel and a female passenger inside the truck.
"Hang on!" Finicum tells the occupants inside the truck as a shot is fired, apparently by authorities. He is driving the truck.
"OK, they're shooting," the woman says.
The occupation at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge ended February 11.
Finicum was driving one of two vehicles authorities tracked leaving the Malheur refuge January 26. One – carrying Ammon Bundy, the protest leader whose father, Cliven, was at the center of a similar armed standoff in 2014 – pulled over to a stop, and the people inside came out peacefully.

The officers believed Finicum "planned to crash through or otherwise evade the roadblock" and could injure or kill law enforcement officers at the scene, Norris said. They fired at the truck three times but hit no one inside the truck.
Just before Finicum arrived at the roadblock, he veered left into a snowbank at an estimated 50 mph, narrowly missing a federal agent who was trying to get out of the way, the video showed.
As Finicum exited his vehicle with a loaded Ruger 9 mm handgun in the left-hand interior pocket of his jacket, he was instructed to get on the ground three times, Deschutes County Sheriff L. Shane Nelson said.
'You're gonna have to shoot me'
The video also shows Finicum exiting the truck.
"Stay down," the woman tells the two other people inside the truck.
Then gunfire is heard.
"Are they shooting him?" the woman asks.
A transcript provided Tuesday shows the exchange between Finicum and officers after he exits his truck.
"Go ahead and shoot me," Finicum tells the officers on at least four occasions.
"Get on the ground," officers tell Finicum on at least two occasions, according to the transcript.
"You're gonna have to shoot me," Finicum tells the officers at least twice.
Despite Finicum defying those orders and reaching toward the pocket containing the gun, two nearby state police officers did not immediately open fire, and a third officer attempted to move in with a Taser, Nelson said. Finicum was out of range of the Taser, he said.
When Finicum reached for his pocket a third time, two troopers opened fire, hitting him three times in the back – in the left shoulder, below the neck and on the right side of his lower back.
FBI agents fired the other two shots before Finicum exited the vehicle, Nelson said. One missed the truck, while the other hit the truck's roof, the sheriff said.
FBI agents under investigation
Authorities from both the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office and the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Justice are looking into what the FBI agents failed to disclose in their ongoing investigations, according to Nelson.
The agents, interviewed at least three separate times by the major incident team in the days after the shooting, never disclosed that they fired shots, Nelson said.
"A particular concern to all of us is that the FBI [Hostage Rescue Team] operators did not disclose their shots to our investigators, nor did they disclose specific actions that they took after the shooting," Nelson said.
The names of the law enforcement officers involved are not being released out of concern for "their safety and the safety of their families," Norris said, adding that there have been threats against the officers, including rewards offered by extremist groups.
Finicum was the lone armed occupier of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge to die at law enforcement's hands in the 41-day standoff.
The occupation of part of the federal wildlife refuge ended peacefully February 11 when the last four occupiers surrendered to authorities. They had been among a larger group who took over the refuge's headquarters in a defiant protest of federal land policies. They decried the arson convictions of father-and-son ranchers Dwight and Steven Hammond (though the Hammonds insisted they didn't want help from the occupiers, led by Ammon Bundy.)
For weeks, authorities positioned themselves outside a Malheur National Wildlife Refuge building near Burns – not charging in to get the occupiers but not giving them a free pass to stay or easily leave either.
Some of the occupiers insisted they planned to stay as long as it took and that they were prepared to die.
Finicum was the only one who did.
Who was Lavoy Finicum?
Late rancher vowed he wouldn't go to prison
The Arizona rancher and published author left behind 11 children, some of whom were adopted. And this family – "like the Brady Bunch on steroids," Finicum told CNN in December – was growing, with two grandchildren on the way.
"So I've got a lot to live for," he said.

Finicum remained defiant, at times sitting outside the occupiers' Malheur refuge compound in a rocking chair, a rifle in his hands.
"I'm here to make it easy for the FBI to find me," he said, adding that he wouldn't use the rifle "unless someone points a weapon at me."
While Finicum stated he felt the ordeal could "be peacefully resolved," there was one outcome he couldn't envision: time behind bars.
"I'm just not going to prison," Finicum said. "Look at the stars. There's no way I'm going to sit in a concrete cell where I can't see the stars and roll out my bedroll on the ground. That's just not going to happen.
"I want to be able to get up in the morning and throw my saddle on my horse and go check on my cows. It's OK. I've lived a good life. God's been gracious to me."

Dortmund reach agreement with Piszczek over new deal
January 30, 2018 George Kohlmeier
Poland international Lukasz Piszczek has signed a new two-year deal at Borussia Dortmund, tying him to the club until 2020, and he hopes to end his career at the Westfalenstadion.
Piszczek, 32, is currently Dortmund's oldest outfield player. Having joined the club from Hertha Berlin in summer 2010, he was a key player earlier this decade during Dortmund's golden years under Jurgen Klopp.
He remains an influential player for the club — and is apparently their good-luck charm. Dortmund have not lost a Bundesliga game in which he appeared since Nov. 26, 2016, winning 20 and drawing 11 after a 2-1 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt.
"Lukasz is a really extraordinary character. A player who absolutely wants to win on every occasion and even in the most difficult of conditions," sporting director Michael Zorc said in a statement. "He's an institution on the right side of our defence. It's not without reason that we're now unbeaten in the last 31 Bundesliga matches in which Piszczu has played."
Having won two Bundesliga titles and two German cups with Dortmund, Piszczek hopes to end his career at the club he has called his home for nearly eight years.
"I might not be a Dortmund native, but I have grown so fond of this club and its fans over the years that I now feel like a true Borusse and have never felt any desire to leave BVB," Piszczek said.

SFL Weekly – August 15, 2017
Playoff Preview
Empire Conference
1. Orlando Rockets (12-4)
The Skinny: Despite Trevor Harris and Ricky Ray playing hot potato with the starting quarterback job, the defending champion Orlando Rockets still proved to be the best team in their Conference during the regular season. After a shocking loss in the first game of the season to the New York Marauders, Orlando regrouped and went back to their power running game to pile on the win. With a deep backfield, consisting of Devonta Freeman, Andre Ellington, Robert Kelley, and Jerome Messam (all of whom would start in this league), the Rockets have the second-ranked scoring offense and sixth-ranked rushing offense. And with such a strong run game they've been able to handle the back-and-forth between the upstart Trevor Harris and the legendary Ricky Ray. And neither of those quarterbacks have been bad either. It's just another example of ridiculously great depth the Rockets have.
Why they can win it all: While we can talk about the deep skill positions the Rockets have, their success starts with their incredible offensive line. It's the best in the league this year and they've allowed the fewest number of sacks. That combined with the depth at running back and numerous weapons at receiver the team has, the Rockets are nearly impossible to defend.
What can hold them back: Their defense has some great player, particularly Almond Sewell, Jonathan Bullard and Charleston Hughes making up a tremendous defensive line. But this isn't last year's shutdown defense. Orlando ranks middle of the road in points allowed. They get after the quarterback and stifle the run, but they can break. Also, while Trevor Harris has pretty much supplanted Ricky Ray as the starting QB, he doesn't have the big game experience like Ray does. And if they go back to Ray for that big game experience, one has to wonder if his time on the bench will lead to either some rush or lost timing with his receivers.
2. San Antonio Marshalls (11-5)
The Skinny: After an up-and-down first half of the season, the San Antonio Marshalls enter the playoffs as the hottest team going. They have won seven straight games to end the regular season and most of them in blowout fashion. While the face of San Antonio might be be Bo Levi Mitchell, the Marshalls might just be the most complete team in the league with his big arm, a running back duo that has combined for over 1,700 yards and 27 touchdowns on the ground. And while their defense might give up some yards, they sank fifth in points allowed and third in sacks. They bend, but they don't break.
Why they can win it all: There isn't really a weak spot to look at on San Antonio. Last year they were a one trick pony but this year they had a tremendous running game and a much deeper group of receivers that defenses can't just key in one one guy. The pass rush also finally has some help too with an improved secondary that makes the pass rushers even more deadly with more time.
What can hold them back: While their defense generally has not broken, they will have to play three great teams in a row so for a group that can give up yards, facing elite quarterbacks along the way will certainly be a tough road. The offensive lines will also be a lot better, so the pass rushers could get slowed down a bit more than normal.
3. Pittsburgh Forge (10-6)
The Skinny: No matter what happens the Forge have to be happy with a great season, winning the Atlantic Division in their first year back as an expansion franchise. Leading the way is Jon Jennings during a record-setting season. Coming into the year the offense didn't seem like it would be the strength, but they have so many weapons they have outscored everybody all year long.
Why they can win it all: Jon Jennings is a strong MVP candidate and has a ton of weapons he uses to lead the league's best scoring offense and passing offense. Running back Devontae Booker has also been incredible, scoring 24 touchdowns with over 1,600 yards in his rookie season.The offensive line is also one of the very best in the league and that helps those offensive weapons have more time to be great.
What can hold them back: With a ton of NFL veterans on the defensive side of the ball, that looked to be the team's strength coming into the year, but they have been very disappointing. Pittsburgh has needed to score all of those points because they rank just 17 out of 22 in scoring defense and dead last in pass defense. Big arm quarterbacks will have a field day against them.
4. Philadelphia Bulldogs (10-6)
The Skinny: It's sad that Isaiah Crowell had to overshadow an absolutely incredible season by Bulldogs running back Jay Ajayi. Ajayi topped 2,200 yards and tied Lamar Miller's mark of 22 touchdowns set last season. But Crowell just had more yards and more touchdowns. Still, it doesn't take away from Ajayi's breakout season and ability to dominate games. He's given the Bulldogs a clear identity of a power running game and has taken a lot of pressure off an aging Michael Vick to get the Bulldogs to the playoffs as a wildcard.
Why they can win it all: Any team that can run the ball and wear down a great defense is a threat to win in the playoffs, And another somewhat unnoticed thing has been Michael Vick only has two interceptions this season. At his age he may no longer have the wheels like he used to, and he may not be able to sling the ball 70 yards down the field, but he has his most efficient season yet in the twilight of his career.
What can hold them back: While Vick might not turn the ball over, the passing game is one of the worst in the league and their defense is bottom half across the board. Philly has a great running back, a GREAT running back. But that is about it.
Metropolitan Conference
1. Seattle Orcas (12-4)
The Skinny: Isaiah Crowell just smashed every record possible for a running back as he topped 2,500 rushing yards, 24 rushing TDs and had nearly 2,800 yards from scrimmage. For quite a while this year, Seattle didn't look like they could be beaten and there was question whether their defense would even give up 200 points on the year. They barely gave that up, 204 total. And while they had their slump, they won two huge games at the end of the year to reclaim their position at the top of the Metropolitan Conference.
Why they can win it all: Power running games and shutdown defense are always a winning formula. That's how Orlando won last year and New York won the year before. Seattle's defense is just incredible, allowing the fewest points and passing yards and third fewest rushing yards. And they have a pretty great pass and an epically deep secondary loaded with All-SFL caliber players. Offensively, Crowell has by far the best 16 game season any running back in this league has had, shattering the rushing yards record.
What can hold them back: Can a game manager like Ryan Griffin do enough for Seattle to win it all? Griffin doesn't necessarily lose games, but he certainly won't win a big one for the Orcas. At least he hasn't proven he can.
2. Michigan Stags (12-4)
The Skinny: Just a few weeks ago the Stags appeared to be separating themselves from the pack but then they lost back-to-back games to end the season and missed out on home field advantage throughout. What a disappointment for them. But overall, the Stags have lived up to their expectations with a deep committee running game and a very deep secondary leading the way. They are very much built like the Orcas in that regard, but their backfield is run like Orlando with a committee instead of a one-man show like in Seattle.
Why they can win it all: Michigan has the second-ranked scoring defense in the league and the third-ranked pass defense. Across the board, their secondary is one of the deepest and most talented in the league. There is no place teams can pick on when throwing the ball. Their running game has so many people that they Stags can keep putting out fresh legs to wear down any defense they face.
What can hold them back: Zach Collaros has stumbled in big games, including the last two. Michigan has little momentum right now with two losses in a row to end the regular season and that is disappointing considering how high they were standing a few weeks ago. Michigan struggles to run the ball against a great defense, can Collaros pull them through?
3. Carolina Generals (9-7))
The Skinny: It's been a very nice turnaround year for the Generals but it's hard to know exactly what to make of them. They had a great start to the year but had to back into the playoffs after a poor second half of the season. Still, they have a good defense and a veteran quarterback Erik Meyer who doesn't make too many mistakes. Carolina was in one of the most competitive divisions in the league so they've been through the grinder week in and week out. These hard-fought playoff games won't be anything new for them.
Why they can win it all: Veteran QBs behind really good offensive lines are generally a very good thing to have. Erik Meyer has really slowed down after a red-hot start to the season but with the help of his o-line and with a deep crop of weapons around him and a strong enough defense with a productive pass rush, they can grind out wins against good teams.
What can hold them back: It's going to be tough for Carolina to win it all because they don't really have a strength that stands out. They won a division that no team seemed to want to win and they have their flaws.
4. Los Angeles Stars (10-6)
The Skinny: Despite losing both their productive quarterback and running backs from last year and going through three ownership changes since last year, the Stars have gotten back into the playoffs and for a while there looked like they could take the Pacific Division. Case Keenum might make some poor passes here and there, but he's lead one of the better passing games in the league and that is why the Stars are here. It also took a while for them to get their running game going, but they are much better than their 18th rankings in the league. The Stars were horrible running the ball early this season but through a lot of trial and error they have been able to get some quality production on the ground the last few weeks.
Why they can win it all: If they can continue to manufacture yards on the ground then less will be on Keenum and he can just worry about throwing the ball down the field. Keenum might lead the league in bad passes, but he's been very good overall. The LA defense also has some really good athletes at every level with Jamaal Westermann leading the d-line, Solomon Elimimian leading the linebackers and Brian Poole leading the secondary.
What can hold them back: Los Angeles doesn't really stand out in any one area. They've won because of their offense, but their defense will get burnt by some really good quarterbacks and the Stars don't have enough to overcome it.
Matchup Previews
Empire Conference Round One Preview
1. Orlando Rockets (12-4) vs. 4. Philadelphia Bulldogs (10-6)
Orlando's second-ranked rush defense vs. Jay Ajayi. That's the key battle here because while Michael Vick has been incredible with not turning over the ball, at this age now and without the jet legs he probably won't be able to lead the Bulldogs to a victory against the defending champions. Orlando just has more ways to win games too, and going against a bottom half defense gives them a huge advantage there. The Bulldogs real hope is that Ajayi can grind down the Rockets defense and hold their offense off the field because Orlando has a lot of different ways they can win. Philly doesn't.
2. San Antonio Marshalls (11-5) vs. 3. Pittsburgh Forge (10-6)
What is better than seeing the two best passers in the game square off head-to-head in the playoffs? Jon Jennings has made a strong case for MVP, leading the league's top-scoring offense and top passing defense, but Bo Levi Mitchell is still one of the elite quarterbacks in the league. At that position, this matchup cannot get closer. Both teams also have incredible productive running backs groups. But the different might be the defense. Pittsburgh's defense is one of the worst in the league, and that gives Mitchell a great opportunity to showcase himself and his team. Of course, Pittsburgh has been able to outscore a lot of their opponents, but in the playoffs, that's really hard to do.
Metropolitan Conference Round One Preview
1. Seattle Orcas (12-4) vs. 4. Los Angeles Stars (10-6)
Just a few weeks ago the Stars nearly cost the Orcas home field advantage throughout the playoffs, but Seattle bounced back and got two huge wins to end the season. LA meanwhile suffered from a big hangover and lost their last two games. With Isaiah Crowell having completed the best season by a running back in a 16-game SFL season, the Stars are back trying to find themselves and their identity as a team. That's a terrible position to be in right now.
Pick: Seattle Orcas
2. Michigan Stags (12-4) vs. 3. Carolina Generals (9-7)
Michigan needed just one victory in their last two games to clinch home field advantage but their lost both. Carolina meanwhile nearly gave away the division, but got help, won and got into the playoffs. Overall though, neither of these teams were inspiring the last few weeks but from a pure talent perspective, Michigan has the Generals by a mile.

FLCL gets 2 more seasons!
Most famous anime FLCL – Otherwise known as Fooly Cooly – will be getting 2 more seasons according to Cartoon Network's parent company, Turner. They announced it on their official website on March 25, 2016. Both seasons will consist of 6 episodes each and will be produced by Cartoon Network's Adult Swim alongside, Japanese animation Production, I.G Studio. FLCL creator, Tsurumaki Kazuya, is said to return to the series as well. The seasons are set to air on Cartoon Network's block, Toonami.
Back in the early 2000s FLCL was considered a minor success. With its surreal "coming of age" story which follows the life of a young school-boy, Nandaba Naota, for the first six episodes. One day as he's walking and gets hit with a bass guitar from a girl (Haruhara Haruko) and ends up with a very noticeable bump on his head from the incident. This event triggers multiple battles between entities known as Medical Mechanica and Fraternity in the city of Mabase, Japan.
The new seasons will take place years after the adventures of Naota and Haruko. According to Turner the new seasons will now follow a teenage girl by the name of "Hidomi" . She believes there is nothing special to expect from her ordinary life. Until, she gets a new teacher by the name of Haruko. Soon after this event, Medichal Mechanica attacks the town. Only Haruko can truly help save everyone from the attacking entity but not without the secret within Hidomi that only Haruko can unlock.
The new season will drop in late 2017 or early 2018 according to the Official Turner website.

I have plenty of observations to recap this episode with but first, allow me to editorialize. The Evil Genius Producers (EGPs) are manipulating or and editing this season to both make the girls look psychologically unfit and the guys as insensitive simpletons. There are dangerous stereotypes being played with here and they are neither fun nor funny. And the commitment to this appears to be continued with a conversation between Logan and Rachel hanging us on the cliff until next week. Both girls are being subjected to this, but Rachel is getting the worst of it by far.
The EGPs have decided to spend much of this part of the season making two strong and beautiful women[1] seem overwrought and overly weepy. And the "payoff" for that is that we know so little about so many of the men. It's bad enough that all the white guys look alike but some brother named Michael got a rose tonight and I have no idea where he came from. I hope the production changes soon. This episode was the low point for me so far.
Enough venting for now. Let's recap and I have a lot.
We begin with Hayden going off on how he was mad at Gabby for being mad at him for describing her the way she described herself ("rough around the edges"). Apparently, Hayden is not aware of how self-aware self-deprecation works. When I tell you that sometimes I can be an arrogant douchebag, I'm gonna go medieval when YOU tell me that sometimes I can be an arrogant douchebag.
Of course, we know by now that this scene was foreshadowing things to come.
With that, the guys find out that they and the girls are heading off to Paris! I have questions. Did the girls fly First Class? I certainly hope so. And the guys? There are still a lot of them. A commercial flight? Do all of those big dudes have to sit in Coach for a Transatlantic flight? Do they have to sit together and, if so, how do they decide who has to sit in the dreaded middle seats? What happens if their itinerary is interrupted and they have to be re-booked and their preferred seats change? Do some guys have enough points to get First Class upgrades? Can you tell I travel a lot?
Tino and Jason are ahead of the game as they were pre-assigned 1-on-1's in romantic Paris with Rachel and Gabby, respectively. Gabby's date set off a pet peeve of mine, which is how introverts always get a bad rap on The Bachelor franchise. Specifically, Gabby wants Jason to "come out of his shell." Ugh. That shell is his personality [insert bad words invoking a deity here]! "I want to love you so will you please change your entire personality to make it easy for me?" 50% of the world is made up of introverts, so it's not like some rare disorder. That said, the date went well enough that Gabby told Rachel that she's in love. [cue Donna Summer I Feel Love][2]
As for Tino and Rachel, they have the kind of normal first-date conversation that goes straight to "do you want to have a family?" (I love this show.) Tino assures her he's ready to have a family because he saw his Dad make sandwiches. Seriously? C'mon, bruh. As My Daughter Diandra (MDD) replied to my text on that, "The bar is so low."
Tino's clearance of the low bar was enough for Rachel and she's locked in on him. So, both girls have a guy and it's only the fourth episode. What could go wrong?
Gabby complained about European showers being so cold, like 38 degrees Celsius. Uh, that's 100 degrees Fahrenheit, girlfriend. I know this because I communicate regularly with friends in the UK[3] and after several trips over there, I determined in the last year that I want to be fluent in Celsius. One of my weather apps is set to Celsius. The quick and dirty math is multiply by two and add thirty.
We saw the rest of the guys arrive at their (commercial considerations paid by) Virgin ocean liner and that seems like a LOT of vacancies on such a huge ship.
Gabby's Group Date was contests in some form of French boxing where the combatants don't seem to hit each other very much. That seemed very French. I'm glad we didn't have the usual trope of one guy coming hard for some dude he doesn't like. But it also was rather boring except the EGPs used that as an opportunity for Rachel to feel ignored by her guys who were more into the spectacle of Gabby's guys boxing than into Rachel. She did a great job of reading them the riot act, though – focused on their behavior, candid about the impact on her, and clear about her expectations going forward. Give this girl an A+ in giving feedback.
Rachel's Group Date was something about The Art of Romance with each guy doing something to seduce Rachel. This date should have come with a warning: "The following scenes contain material that is offensively stupid even by Bachelor standards. Some viewers may find this level of idiocy traumatizing." Somebody, please make some sense out of how her sniffing some dude's armpit was seductive or even flirtatious.
That whole Group Date was weird, but Tyler saved the day and won Rachel's heart with a pre-written love poem he just happened to be carrying around. (I love this show.)
Finally, we come back to Hayden's foreshadowed comeuppance which began with him sharing pictures and the sad tale of his dog Rambo who has a brain tumor and has two months left to live but Hayden is in Paris looking for love and left his dying dog behind and even brought his dog's favorite comfort toys with him. (I love this show.)
But Meatball to the rescue! He rats out Hayden to Rachel about his comments about both she and Gabby. Rachel confronts him, he lies to her face, and she walks him off the ship ("walks the plank" per someone in MDD's Bachelor group) with him saying, "I respect you as a woman." (But don't be so sensitive about me calling you the B-word and telling the guys you couldn't hold a candle to my ex.)
Rachel is so upset about yet another attack on her worthiness to be The Bachelorette, that yet another Cocktail Party gets canceled – the EGPs got you covered KMD[4] – and it's off to The Rose Ceremony.
And to drama. Jason is on Rachel's team but wants to be cut so that he can try to make a free agent deal to sign with Gabby's team. But when Rachel offers him the Final Rose of The Evening, he is ordered by the EGPs to accept it he decides to accept it so that we can get Rachel to have another meltdown next week.
P.S. If I had planned better given Paris as this week's venue, I would have focused solely on a Bordeaux out of my collection, but I had a really nice Gabrielle Ashley California Cabernet (on sale at Costco) that needed to be finished. But once finished, I did get into some of that Bordeaux to start writing the blog with.

Why an entire country is closing for the weekend
The Faroe Islands is renowned for its delicate isolation Credit: istock
Hugh Morris, Travel news editor
21 February 2019 • 12:23pm
Hugh Morris
The Faroe Islands will close to visitors for a weekend of "maintenance" to highlight the archipelago's delicate ecosystem and desire to protect itself from a blossoming tourism industry.
Just 100 permits will be handed out to tourists wishing to join the "Faroese Maintenance Crew" over the weekend of April 25-27. They will be put to work tending to walking paths, protecting birdlife sanctuaries and constructing viewpoints; no other visitors will be allowed.
The self-governing Danish territory in the North Atlantic has seen a spike in visitor numbers in recent years and says, while it welcomes arrivals, it is keen to avoid the perils of "overtourism" that has impacted similar destinations such as Iceland and Skye.
"We are delighted that more and more people are discovering how special our islands are - our scenery, our unique way of life, our food and our people," said Guðrið Højgaard, director of the Faroe Islands tourist board. "For us, tourism is not all about numbers. We welcome visitors to the islands each year, but we also have a responsibility to our community and to our beautiful environment, and our aim is to preserve and protect the islands, ensuring sustainable and responsible growth."
A number of projects will run over the three-day period, during which helpers will be hosted and fed free of charge, with participants then free to continue their trip afterwards. A celebratory meal will take place on the last night. The Faroes' prime minister Aksel V Johannesen has issued a call for volunteers to join.

It was the Faroes Islands that in 2016 launched a campaign to have its terrain added to Google Street View by way of sheep camera.
Tim Ecott, Telegraph Travel's destination expert, said the Faroes Islands is like "the best of the Lake District without the crowds".
"One of the idiosyncrasies of the Faroes is that, unlike much of Scandinavia, there is no "right to roam" across private land," he said, after a visit last year. "The upsurge in tourism in recent years has meant that some walkers have irritated farmers by straying off marked paths and disturbing the sheep or the resident bird life. That's why walking with a guide is often a good option, although there are some paths which are rights of way, marked with stone cairns."

The Faroes' North Atlantic neighbour, Iceland, which boasts similarly dramatic landscapes, has seen the pitfalls of a tourism surge, with visitors in recent years trampling on ancient moss, disturbing wildlife and putting themselves at risk taking photos.

WHY HAVE YOUR VILLA MANAGED?
Bali's quick recovery from the heart-wrenching bombing incidents in 2002 and 2005 proves that this Island of Gods is still indeed one of the most popular tourist destination in the world.
In the past 10 years, the number of Bali's inbound tourists has increased by 13%, a number which is predicted to rise even higher in few years time. With the anticipated tourism boom, land investment in Bali is mostly aimed at the hospitality sector with Villa is one of the most affordable choice for investors, compared to hotel or resorts.
Despite aggressive land investments by domestic and foreign investors in mature areas such Uluwatu, Jimbaran, Seminyak, and fast growing area such as Canggu, opportunities are still boundless as a vast majority of land up north are yet to be developed.
One of the reasons contributing to the land price hike is the development areas and road construction going up north along the west coast, the fact that Bali becoming more populated, and most importantly, the growth prospect of Bali's inbound tourists.


RATIO JURIS, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 102-116, March 2019.
Abstract: In this paper, we model and examine the effects of two salient features of eminent-domain law and its use. First, the compensation is less than full. Second, the government is not a perfect agent of society. Once these features are taken into account, several claims in the existing literature do not hold. Our results question the fiscal illusion theory. We show that full compensation ensures efficiency neither of the takings nor of the investment decisions. Moreover, departure from efficiency can get worse with the tightening of budget constraints. However, undercompensation, combined with the provision of restitution, delivers a better outcome in terms of investment choices by the owners and the taking decisions and choice of projects by the government. Furthermore, we show that fixed-compensation schemes generally are not efficient even if the government is benevolent, but undercompensation can still deliver an outcome more efficient than full compensation.
