If I had a nickel every time someone asked me "When's it going to snow? or "Where's the snow?" I'd be working Weather NJ full-time. So this article is going to focus only on snow possibilities in the near future. They are not forecasts. Just the periods I'm watching and discussing for now.
Sunday into Monday (Jan 29-30): This is the first piece of energy to watch. It would be a clipper, which is a northern stream system that likes to form in the Alberta area of Canada. They typically move through fast but sometimes can deliver quick hits of light, sometimes significant, accumulation. This Sunday-Monday is modeled very weak so not expecting anything disruptive as of now. Light snow is certainly possible but model guidance currently paints this as light scattered snow showers.
Tuesday into Wednesday (Jan 31-Feb 1): This is another clipper however a bit more robust on model guidance. We'll have some light SW flow that won't make it "too warm for snow" but might create a marginal lower-level/non-stickable surface for points SE. Just scattered snow showers are currently modeled across the entire region but it does look like a stronger system than Sunday into Monday overall.
Friday (Feb 3): The GFS is suggesting a disturbance timing perfectly with high pressure to the north. This would produce light-to-significant accumulations if it threads the needle perfectly. Meteorologically it's possible but I would like to see some other guidance come on-board with it. Much more uncertainty with this one.
Sunday into Monday (Feb 5-6): This system has the most potential for a winter storm however is the most uncertain being the furthest out. There is decent model consensus for this system but we're likely stuck watching models flip-flop until the actual energy comes onshore on the W US coast. Only then will we have properly sampled data to compare with live observations. Back burner for now but will certainly discuss as we further approach. My advice would be to simply use the model consensus as a general storm signal for now.
So there it is…4 snow possibilities in the next 10 days. As you are all aware, all could either fizzle or produce. I don't have a forecast yet for any of them but these are the periods I'll be watching as we move through the colder pattern over the next 10 days. If this Sunday into Monday looks worthy, I'll write an article about it on Saturday with anticipated impacts. If it remains weak, I'll likely just include it in discussion on Sunday with the Monday-Friday outlook.

الموسوعة الدوائية
Dilantin (Phenytoin)
حدث بتاريخ: 30 تشرين2/نوفمبر 2017
The most notable signs of toxicity associated with the intravenous use of this drug are cardiovascular collapse and/or central nervous system depression. Hypotension does occur when the drug is administered rapidly by the intravenous route. The rate of administration is very important; it should not exceed 50 mg per minute in adults, and 1-3 mg/kg/min (or 50 mg per minute, whichever is slower) in pediatric patients.
Body As a Whole: Allergic reactions in the form of rash and rarely more serious forms (see Skin and Appendages paragraph below) and DRESS (see WARNINGS) have been observed. Anaphylaxis has also been reported.
There have also been reports of coarsening of facial features, systemic lupus erythematosus, periarteritis nodosa, and immunoglobulin abnormalities.
Cardiovascular: Severe cardiovascular events and fatalities have been reported with atrial and ventricular conduction depression and ventricular fibrillation. Severe complications are most commonly encountered in elderly or critically ill patients (see WARNINGS).
Nervous System: The most common manifestations encountered with phenytoin therapy are referable to this system and are usually dose-related. These include nystagmus, ataxia, slurred speech, decreased coordination, somnolence, and mental confusion. Dizziness, insomnia, transient nervousness, motor twitchings, paresthesia, and headaches have also been observed. There have also been rare reports of phenytoin induced dyskinesias, including chorea, dystonia, tremor and asterixis, similar to those induced by phenothiazine and other neuroleptic drugs.
A predominantly sensory peripheral polyneuropathy has been observed in patients receiving long-term phenytoin therapy.
Digestive System: Nausea, vomiting, constipation, enlargement of the lips, gingival hyperplasia, toxic hepatitis and liver damage.
Skin and Appendages: Dermatological manifestations sometimes accompanied by fever have included scarlatiniform or morbilliform rashes. A morbilliform rash (measles-like) is the most common; other types of dermatitis are seen more rarely. Other more serious forms which may be fatal have included bullous, exfoliative or purpuric dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis (see WARNINGS section). There have also been reports of hypertrichosis. Local irritation, inflammation, tenderness, necrosis, and sloughing have been reported with or without extravasation of intravenous phenytoin (see WARNINGS).
Hematologic and Lymphatic System: Hematopoietic complications, some fatal, have occasionally been reported in association with administration of phenytoin. These have included thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, granulocytopenia, agranulocytosis, and pancytopenia with or without bone marrow suppression. While macrocytosis and megaloblastic anemia have occurred, these conditions usually respond to folic acid therapy. Lymphadenopathy, including benign lymph node hyperplasia, pseudolymphoma, lymphoma, and Hodgkin's Disease have been reported (see WARNINGS).
Special Senses: Altered taste sensation including metallic taste.
Urogenital: Peyronie's disease

Nationwide Freedom March in Allendale brings out city and county neighbors with opposing views
While Ryan Kelley's presence was celebrated on one side of the park, it was a topic of criticism on the other.
Author: Leona Dunn

ALLENDALE, Mich. — On Saturday Oct. 24, two groups gathered in Allandale Community Park.
One was a group supporting the Nationwide Freedom March, sponsored by the American Patriot Council. They came to march in support of President Donald Trump and against government overhaul, according to some attendees.
The other group was Justice for Black Lives, an organization born out of the protests surrounding George Floyd's murder this past summer. They came to counter the narrative they believed the Nationwide Freedom March was presenting.
At 3 p.m., both groups gathered on their sides of the park. Those with the American Patriot Council came baring Trump flags, American Flags and Thin Blue Line flags. Those with Justice for Black Lives showed up with Pride flags and Black Lives Matter flags.
Attendees arrive for the Nationwide Freedom March:
Attendees arrive for the Justice for Black Lives event:
Both groups were passionate but stayed peaceful and calm throughout the evening.
The Nationwide Freedom March happened across the state and country Saturday. According to the American Patriot Council's website, the organization's goal is to "Restore and sustain a constitutional government in the United States of America."
Allendale Planning Commissioner Ryan Kelley is a part of the Council's chapter in Allandale. At the Freedom March event, Kelley made a speech and also marched alongside other attendees.
While his presence was celebrated on one side of the park, it was a topic of criticism on the other. At the Justice for Black Lives counter protest, Kelley was a large topic of conversation. That's because some Allendale residents allege Kelley had a hand in the plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
The two sides emphasized the same points: faith, government, and the right to freedom of speech.
A baseball field separated the events, but you could clearly hear the chants of both crowds on each sides of the park.

I put up a post on twitter a minute ago, but now I feel compelled to write about this. I woke up feeling so fabulous. Why wouldn't I? I have been hitting the gym 5/7 days a week, taking on the 5km Park Run at least twice a month, eating better and also drinking less alcohol. Heck, even my sleep patterns have improved. I felt so good that I convinced my hubby to do an impromptu photo shoot in the garden. Shirt off (gym bra on), make up free and confident as hell, I posed effortlessly and promised I would blog about my fitness progress.
Ah well! You know, the mind is very powerful. 2 hours later. Gym done and dusted. You would imagine I would be on cloud nine, with endorphins playing their sweet music through my body. Let's just say I had 2 comments about my weight and general appearance that sent me straight into fitness hades. The kind of words that are recklessly said, yet without malice; the kind that go straight for the jugular and tear your confidence to shreds.
It got me thinking. How fickle am I that I could perceive myself one way and then in a matter of hours, do a 180 flip and feel the opposite. I am now questioning whether my initial feelings were valid or just a flipping state of morning mania. I don't know. I really haven't figured this one out. What I would love though is a platform to discuss this and share with others. Perhaps we need to have an event or gathering that allows us to delve into such issues and more. Let us know. Email info@therookieparentsociety.com and let us know if you would be interested in attending a talk or open forum on self and body related issues.
In the meantime, I am looking forward to my run tomorrow. After all that initial great feeling is addictive.

Stonewall In 2009? Police Raid Texas Gay Bar, Arrest Patrons for "Public Intoxication"
Update: One serious injury was reported. See below.
Police making an arrest from inside the Rainbow Lounge in Ft. Worth, Texas (Dallas Voice)
No kidding? The Dallas Voice's blog is reporting that a gay bar in Ft. Worth, Texas, was raided sometime last night:
According to [Ft. Worth Star-Telegram former critic Todd] Camp, the newly-opened Rainbow Lounge is "the only cool gay bar in town," but the police raided it, arresting numerous patrons for no reason.
I got another perspective in my in-box this morning:
The not awesome thing was the paddy wagon of homophobic police that showed up … looking for trouble. My group and I were sitting on the back patio at a picnic table. Nobody was being wild out there. [The police] came through with flashlights, being loud asking what was going on out here, then asked why everyone was all the sudden being quiet. When one group started up their conversations again, they took one guy away. I left shortly after and as I walked through the front bar there were numerous cops with plastic handcuffs all ready to go. I [left] the bar and they [had] a big van in the parking lot and numerous cars on the street. And just so you know, it wasn\'t fire hazard crowded or seedy wild in there. … The worst part is [friends later told me] that [the police] had numerous people face down on the ground outside. I just moved to Fort Worth from Dallas, so this is such a shock to me. I know Dallas would not put up with this. … I am still so shocked it is 2009 and this just happened.
Anyone else there last night? Write to me (jones@dallasvoice.com) or my editor (nash@dallasvoice.com).
Other reporters at the Dallas Voice are receiving more first-hand accounts which confirm the above statement. Eyewitnesses say that some ten to twenty people have been arrested. One patron was this visitor from Santa Cruz, California:
We and a few of our friends went to the new Rainbow Lounge last night to dance and have some fun. I was in the VIP section when police officers started coming up there. The first arrest (that we saw) was right in front of me in that section.
They asked the guy if he had been drinking, and he said some, and they snidely replied, "Well, we\'ll see how much!" and plastic handcuffed him as they read him his rights The guy was doing NOTHIG [sic] wrong. It was utterly repugnant.
Once I saw this happen, I decided to try and speak with one of the police officers themselves, to go straight to the source and get their side. My sister Kelly and I simply started asking what they were doing here, stating how suspicious it seemed on this date and in this specific club, etc. This was a "State Policeman," whose name I forgot, who tried to explain their actions by referring to "anonymous tips" and "disgruntled ex-bartenders." We pointed out the place was open a week, so the disgruntled ex-bartender source seemed a bit unlikely! He wouldn\'t really answer my questions. although he did try to grab my hand and flirt with me (which was completely uninvited).
Patrons and officers outside the bar. Notice that the man on the left in the white shirt is handcuffed. (Dallas Voice)
They have also received several photos taken by patrons using their cell phones. Numerous patrons report rough treatment by police. Several fled to a nearby home, fearing arrest if they tried to leave the house to get into their cars. There is one report that one man was slammed to the floor and is now hospitalized with a head injury. Another eyewitness said that police gave her the same excuse about responding to complaints from "former bartender" at the week-old business. She also observed that police appeared to be specifically targeting effeminate men.
Local activists are calling for protests tonight. One was scheduled for the Rainbow lounge at 5 p.m. CST today, with another one set for the Tarrant County Courthouse in downtown Fort Worth at 7 p.m.
Update: The Dallas Voice has an update on Chad Gibson, the young man who was hospitalized for a head injury. The initial CAT scan showed little or no damage, but a second CAT scan performed this afternoon indicates that "the bleeding in his brain had increased." Chad has no memory of the incident in the bar, and his memory of events today (visitors and conversations with doctors) "have been spotty." Chad is being treated at John Peter Smith Hospital in Ft. Worth.
The Ft. Worth Star-Telegram has more details. Seven people were reportedly arrested at the Rainbow Lounge. Ft. Worth Police are offering a sort of a "gay panic defense, claiming that patrons made "sexually explicit moves" toward the police. The bar's general manager and other patrons dispute that:
The general manager of the Rainbow Lounge and several patrons disputed the police account, saying officers used excessive force to make arrests.
"He was just walking to the bathroom when an officer grabbed him and shoved him against a wall and pulled his head back," said Chris Hightower of Fort Worth, a friend of the injured patron. "He (the injured man) was then thrown to the ground and three other officers were on him."
Several patrons claimed that the officers were never assaulted.
"I have friends who are cops and I know what to do when officers are working," Camp said. "No one was acting aggressive to officers."
Camp said that he has been attending bars for years in Fort Worth when TABC conducts raids.
"Usually, they're very orderly and respectful – they work with the bar staff and check IDs, it's quick and painful and then it's over and then they're out," Camp said. "This was not that. This was harassment, plain and simple."
General manager Randy Norman said the bar had just been open a week and they had complied with all ordinances.
"Officers just don't come in armed with zip ties and a paddy wagon for a routine check of a bar," Norman said.
KTVT, the Dallas CBS affiliate has this:
Raymond Gill was at the bar early Sunday morning. He says one of the TABC officers targeted him. "I asked him why I was pulled outside. He stated it was because the way I was walking. He said I looked like I was drunk. But as I stated, I got to the bar 30 minutes before they got there. I sat down had not got up before police got there. No one saw me walk."
…Fort Worth police arrested seven people for reported public intoxication, and for reportedly inappropriately groping an officer. It's an allegation witness Chuck Potter disputes.
"I can guarantee there wasn't a man in this bar that would've touched one of those officers, knowing they were arresting people."
Chad Gibson
WFAA, the Dallas ABC affiliate confirms that Chad Gibson is in the Intensive Care Unit at John Peter Smith Hospital in Ft. Worth with bleeding on the brain. Chad was ticketed but not arrested:
Danny Crockett said he saw four officers detain Gibson.
"They choked his head back, pulled him back and then slammed him against the wall," he said.

Stonewall was unique from all the antigay police raids because the patrons fought back. These queens fled to a nearby home!
On DKos a person who says he was a bar manager in Fort Worth is saying that he's seen this sort of thing happen before.
It seems that in Texas when bars stop, er, contributing financially to the wellbeing of the local police, these raids seem to happen. It's a remarkable coincidence.
Only in Fort Worth, I am ashamed to say I live here. I am sorry for the one that is hospitalized. What, we have to be scared that we are gay if we live in Fort Worth?? This must not be allowed!!!!! Shame on the P. D. Go get criminals.
Don't just protest — SUE THEIR FU**ING A$$ES! This has "class-action" written all over it.
To Tom ,your post is stupid.
Stonewall was a totally different situation. Saying these queens fled ,and what would you have done , this is 2009 not 1969 , the cops were dead wrong and as usual playing the gay homophobe defense. I hope they get their asses sued and people fired. most cops are such prick teases in bars anyway , seems to me if there was any groping they initiated it. hello lawsuit
AdrianT
This is a total disgrace and I hope it gets national coverage.
This is gestapo-style thuggery, and I hope they get sued. A march on the police station would be in order, too.
My thoughts are with the LGBT community of Fort Worth.
Gasp! Public intoxication inside a bar that serves alcohol? Next thing you know they're will be fist-fighting in schools and women taking jobs outside the home!
Regardless weather they faught or ran, the police had no business going in there. It seams to me like the police just wanted to shut down another gay bar. The police are PIGS!
William Westwork
You know you guys at this website do decent work but I'm probably not alone in noticing that you never seem to include even a brief list of phone numbers or e-mail addresses of politicians and administrators relevant to particular articles.
Where is the Sherriff's office number? Where is the number of the Fort Worth mayors office? Where is the number of the Congressional reps from the area? The city council members etc. Do some basic footwork for Pete's sake and actually help your readers bring some pressure to bear rather than just preaching to your choir.
Richard W. Fitch
Here is a link to the blog page for the Dallas Voice. There was a comment last nite that includes 20-30 contact nbrs and addresses of govt agencies to call regarding the Rainbow Lounge "inspection". I tried to find it again but their server is having problems handling all the traffic generated by this event. It will be worth pursuing later for updates on the condition of Chad Gibson, the patron who was assaulted by police resulting in a serious brain injury.

I guess living in Texas is like living in Nazi Germany.
Not like I have room to talk, living in Virginia. "Virginia is for lovers." Just don't get married.
My step-mother is 1/4 jew and hated wearing the star in the late 30s. She was 5 and other kids would beat her up. Oh, what a world.
It is asinine for this to be happening anywhere in America in this day and age. So here is the information on the police department. If this story upsets you please call them and let them know that we find this unacceptable in this country. Flood their mailbox and snail mail with complaints (not threats, that should go without saying but some people's emotions are running high about this). Whether you be LGBT or just a supporter of equal rights like myself let them know that this behavior is appalling and there is no room for it in today's world.

I want to put in a word of support for our hosts. They give us their research and time and thoughts free of charge. It's their blog. We can read it or not. There's no obligation from anyone or to anyone except respectful speech.
It's wonderful that some folks have responded to William's concern, anyone of us could have done that (no complaining needed) . . . we all have access to the same internet.
Thanks Jim and Timothy et al., for providing an excellent source of thoughtful LGBT news and opinion.
Ditto, Lurker. It is a good thing to have our say. Love, jim.
Thanks lurker.
Let me add another note. This web site is an all volunteer effort. In fact, everyone here has full-time day jobs. This is something we do on the side. We're passionate about what we're doing, so we find the time necessary to get this information out there, but in the end, there's only so much time we can free up to do this. We feel it's important though because I think we're filling a few small niches that others miss.
We can't be all things to all people. There just isn't time to do that, as much as I would like to. So that's why we have comments, so that you, our readers, can drop in additional information and updates.
We appreciate everyone's help and contributions via comments in making this web site a success.
Christopher Waldrop
I'd just like to add an additional note of support to all the people responsible for making this blog the fascinating, thought-provoking, and enjoyable place that it is.
We do appreciate the help, tips, contributions, perspecive, and even corrections that we receive.
And along that line, I have a few questions for our Texas readers:
In California we don't have "bar checks", that I know of. Police come into bars if there is a problem, if they have been called, or if they are investigating a specific situation at a specific bar (e.g. a drug den).
Even then, I've never heard of anyone being arrested in California for being intoxicated inside a bar. Even if they stumble out of the bar and get in a taxi there's no issue.
So my questions are:
1. Is it illegal to be intoxicated inside a private establishment – like a bar – in Texas?
2. Is it customary for police to do "bar checks" and arrest people for the crime of being drunk in a bar?
3. Does this occur in mainstream popular bars or is it limited to gay bars, dive bars, alternative bars, and the places in which "undesirables" congregate?
4. Is it illegal in the state of Texas to make "sexually explicit movements"? Is this a crime if these "movements" are made towards police officers?
To Timothy's point, I have a question I'll call "4a": Do Texas police have a history of arresting women in straight bars who make "sexually explicit movements"?
I'm still looking for that press release but haven't found it. If someone could help me out, I'm sure there's one around there somewhere.
I am ashamed of the Fort Worth Police department in their evil homophobic move. I am a gay law enforcement officer and I must say I am sorry for each and every patron who was abused at that bar. My suggestion to them is write down everything you remember and sue the hell out of the officers of the Fort Worth Police Department individually. They are clearly not upholding the oath they took to protect and serve those in their community. In any case, God will hand them their judgement as they handed us theirs.
kwrups
like i said on the federaljack.com website, the officer who said he was "groped" is probably still in the closet or is homophobic. this raid was bs and the police know it .nobody should be treated this way. i agree about the straight women comment, especially when i have wanted to kick their ass when they do that to my man, then i would have been the one to go to jail. i think all these cops and tabc were homophobes or in the closet, and wishing they could be out too.
also my prayers are with chad gibson. i would be looking for an attorney, maybe with the aclu, if i was his family member.
Just curious, if the police can arrest you for being drunk in a bar, which I assume is not a public place, can they arrest you in your home for the same reason? Do the Ft. Worth police ever arrest patrons of straight bars for public intoxication?
try not being gay… thats a start?
Ryan Thompson
The police involved haven't been punished, either, just quietly shuffled to desk jobs (for the time being).
The victims need to get with the program and call Lambda Legal. NOW.


It's been a wild few weeks, and keeping ourselves from falling, even a bit, into despair has been a challenge Gerry and I have set for ourselves. I love my husband so much, I am so glad that we share a sense of humor, and I'm grateful that we are able to play off of each other to keep things in perspective.
In all truth, even with the continuing Shingles pain and frustration over the loss of the car, phone, computer data, yada yada yada, we KNOW that we're among the luckiest folks on earth.
I don't talk about gratitude much, but I feel it deeply. I was once part of an online moms group (back when online mom's groups were very new) There were 8 of us who were due with our babies at roughly the same time, and we stayed in touch for a long time.
We came from various socio-economic levels, worked at various jobs, had different goals and represented a wide variety of faiths, but the thing we shared (our babies) was the most important thing in all of our lives, and we all gained SO much from our interactions.
What started as a good idea – "I'm grateful that it was a beautiful day today!" turned into a source of pain for some of us.
One mom, in all innocence, wrote, "I'm grateful that my baby is doing so well and is so healthy!" which was great, but we had a couple of moms with ill, premature babies, and there was a silence from them for a while.
Another mom wrote, "I'm grateful that my husband just got a raise and we can take that trip we've been planning!" which was wonderful for her, but hard for another of the mom's whose husband had just been laid off and who was experiencing financial difficulties.
Don't get me wrong – we were ALL happy for each other – but the gratitude journal turned into what felt a bit like a bragging journal, and some of us found ourselves feeling oddly dissatisfied (and then ashamed of feeling that way) reading about the new houses, jobs, healthy babies and other good things that seemed to pass other members of our group by.
But the experience instilled in me a firm belief that gratitude is something that's best kept private.
The things I was grateful for were pretty tame; running water, flush toilet, hot water whenever we want it, all the food we need, a civil government that – for the most part – protects us, good roads, free schools and libraries. I didn't get too specific about our own situation because I didn't want to sound braggy.
I feel that the past few weeks I've been such a sad sack of complaining – so much seems to have gone wrong at the same time – but I want everyone who reads my blog to understand that I KNOW exactly how lucky we are. Very lucky.
we live in a wonderful place, and my husband is here.
Everything in the world that is important to me is contained in that last sentence, and even writing it I feel like I'm bragging.
I had an MRI today (no need to discuss it, it was a follow up) and the tech asked me if I wanted to listen to a certain artist. I asked for The Pretenders, anything from Learning To Crawl. Apparently she put on the 80's channel and I got a lot of Blondie and The Cars.
And then one of my favorite songs came on. Joan Armitrading's I'm Lucky from Walk Under Ladders, just a wonderful song!
And it made me realize how lucky I was to be laying in a long metal tube with magnets spinning around my abdomen. I was able to ride my bike down to the imaging center, and I knew I'd ride my bike home.
I hope you're all lucky, too!
*Gerry is, of course, the luckiest guy in the world for snagging me as his bride.

You are such a lovely, loveable lady! We all have much to be grateful for and it is good, even in the misserable times, to appreciate the joyful patterns and textures in the threadbare patches of life's rich tapestry.
I hope the following year is full of positives!
Jeez woman! If one more thing would happen to you I would start wondering about curses and who's got the voodoo doll on you! As for "whining," if anyone is so tough that this would not make them whine, well, more power to them, but you certainly deserve to let off steam sometimes. And I am glad you feel able to tell your Faithful Readers what's going on in your life, whether it's good or bad. We WANT to know what's going on with you and we don't think it's "whining"! Thanks for being so strong and creating while all around you is catastrophe! I can't believe you're able to work through shingles; from what I have heard about this disease it's pretty much all-encompassing. Be good to yourself, and hang in there!
All the best, Annie. Hope everything improves from here on.
Gerry is darned lucky to have found you. And Max & Andy are darned lucky to have both of you as parents.
Thanks for reminding me of the things I have and, more importantly perhaps, those I don't.

Twitter adds 'glorifying violence' warning to President Trump tweet
Updated: 11:07 AM EDT May 29, 2020
My executive order calls for new regulations under Section 2 30 of the Communications Decency Act. President Trump signing an executive order targeting social media companies Thursday in an apparent act of retribution for Twitter, labeling two of his tweets potentially misleading days earlier if Twitter were not honorable. If you're gonna have a guy like this being judge and jury, I think you shut it down. As far as I'm concerned, Trump's order doesn't mean people would lose their Facebook or Twitter accounts. What it does is reinterpret a critical 1996 law shielding websites and tech companies from lawsuits. They have a shield that I could have that shield. Among other things. Trump's order instructs the DOJ to consult with state attorneys general on allegations of anti conservative bias. It makes it easier for regulators like the Federal Trade Commission, to accuse platforms of suppressing free speech when imposing their own standards. Twitter responded to the executive order posting, in part quote. The EO is a reactionary and politicized approach to a landmark law. Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, calling Trump's order a distraction. What the president is doing it a silly It's silly. I'm reading in reporting
Twitter has added a warning to one of President Donald Trump's tweets about protests in Minneapolis, saying it violated the platform's rules about "glorifying violence."Trump, a prolific Twitter user, has been at war with the company since earlier this week, when it for the first time applied fact checks to two of his tweets. Those were about mail-in ballots.The third tweet to be flagged came amid days of violent protests over the death of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man who pleaded for air as a white police officer kneeled on his neck. "These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won't let that happen," Trump tweeted about the protesters. "Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!"Twitter did not remove the tweet, saying it had determined it might be in the public interest to have it remain accessible. It does that only for tweets by elected and government officials. But the tweet was hidden so that a user looking at Trump's timeline would have to click on the warning to see the original tweet."We've taken action in the interest of preventing others from being inspired to commit violent acts, but have kept the Tweet on Twitter because it is important that the public still be able to see the Tweet given its relevance to ongoing matters of public importance," Twitter said on its communications account.A tweet using the same language as Trump's was later posted on the official White House Twitter account.The earlier tweets that Twitter flagged were not hidden but did come with an option to "get the facts about mail-in ballots," a link that led to fact checks and news stories by media organizations. Those tweets called mail-in ballots "fraudulent" and predicted that "mail boxes will be robbed," among other things.Twitter's decision to flag Trump's tweets came as the president continued to use the platform to push a debunked conspiracy theory accusing MSNBC host and former congressman Joe Scarborough of killing a staffer in his Florida congressional office in 2001. Medical officials determined the staffer had an undiagnosed heart condition, passed out and hit her head as she fell.Scarborough, who was in Washington, not Florida, at the time, has urged the president to stop his baseless attacks. The staffer's husband also recently demanded that Twitter remove the tweets. The company issued a statement expressing its regret to the husband but so far has taken no other action.On Thursday, Trump targeted Twitter and other social media companies by signing an executive order challenging the laws that generally protect them from liability for material users post on their platforms.The order directs executive branch agencies to ask independent rule-making agencies including the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission to study whether they can place new regulations on the companies, though experts express doubts much can be done without an act of Congress.The president and fellow conservatives have claimed for years that Silicon Valley tech companies are biased against them. But there is no evidence for this, and while the executives and many employees of Twitter, Facebook and Google may lean liberal, the companies have stressed they have no business interest in favoring one political party over the other.

Kohlrabi is a super cool vegetable and one that is getting a lot of attention this spring. Its alien-like appearance draws you in for a closer look.
It's name has German roots: "Kohl" meaning cabbage and "Rabi" meaning turnip due to it's bulby bottom half.
A very cute grey haired lady told me she grew kohlrabi in her victory garden. Many members of the 65 + age range are familiar with kohlrabi and love it. It's a taste from their childhood that's hard to find these days (at least outside of CSA boxes around the country). Well never fear...I have lots of kohlrabi...and with endless possibilities of how to prepare this veggie you are sure to find a way that you can love it.
So I thought I should give kohlrabi + tacos a try.
The result was A+.....I mean really truly good.
Make your tacos according the kit box instructions. Peel and grate kohlrabi bulb. Mix with sour cream, vinegar, salt and pepper. Assemble tacos in shell and top with kohlrabi mixture. Enjoy!


The Black-crowned night-heron is a medium-sized heron, with a stocky build, relatively short neck and legs, and sexually monomorphic plumage. Adults are easily identified by their black cap, upper back, and shoulders, gray wings, rump, and tail, and white to pale gray underparts. The bill is stout and black, eyes are red, and legs are yellow-green for most of the year, but pink during the height of the breeding season. The best known Black-crowned night-heron vocalization is its "quawk" call, most often given at night while in flight or from a perch, but may also let out a "rok-rok" when threatened or "wok-wok" when disturbed.
Nesting typically occurs near the coast of the Great Lakes but adults may forage inland during the nestling stage and both adults and immature birds may show up during migration.
Significant efforts should be made to protect the natural and man-made islands where Black-crowned night-herons commonly nest from disturbance and contamination. These islands are also used by gulls and terns which are a significant food source in the form of eggs and chicks. Vegetation management should focus on maintaining shrubs and small trees for nesting and may include periodic selective cutting or relying on ice and wind storms. Nesting areas should not be disturbed just before or during egg laying as this may cause nest abandonment or increase predation. Maintaining healthy, diverse coastal marshes will also benefit the night-herons. Limiting development and recreation activities that may disturb nesting should also be considered. Controlling predators should be considered if predation is or becomes a limiting factor in the successful reproduction of Black-crowned night-herons.
A number of techniques have been used to survey nesting colonial waterbirds, including ground surveys on foot or by boat and aerial surveys using fixed-wing aircraft or helicopters. Black-crowned night-herons typically feed at night but may feed throughout the day during the late nesting season.

When Massimo Bernadoni discovered a concrete based formula that was capable of neutralising polluting molecules in the air, he dreamt of turning it into a product that was accessible enough for anyone to use. For the next few years he worked hard on his discovery and in 2005, came up with a form of paint that was capable of providing not only the same air neutralising properties but also the ability to keep itself clean – Airlite was born.
How it works: When air flows over Airlite paint in the presence of UV light, it generates photocatalytic activity which neutralises many of the pollutants in the air. This, in combination with water molecules in the air, also creates an invisible film on the painted surface which in turn prevents airborne dirt and bacteria from sticking to it, therefore keeping it clean.
As is often the case with new ideas, Bernadoni's paint was met with lots of scepticism to begin with but undeterred, he pressed on determined to demonstrate its environmental benefits. Finally his persistence payed off and after much discussion and negotiation with the City of Rome, Bernadoni secured agreement to test his Airlite paint in a real environment – the busy Umberto Tunnel.
Built between 1902 and 1905, the Umberto Tunnel connects Piazza di Spagna with the via Nazionale. It was originally built to improve the circulation of traffic in the centre of Rome but over the years, as traffic levels grew, it eventually became known as one of the most polluted places in the capital.
What a great place to put Airlite to the test!
In August 2007, renovation work began on the Umberto Tunnel. The old outdated lighting system was removed and the tunnel was cleaned from top to bottom to remove all the soot and grime that had built over the years.
Next it was then painted with an initial coat of primer followed by a coat of Airlite paint.
Finally, a new and improved lighting system was installed to give better visibility to drivers and pedestrians and all importantly, to provide the essential UV light required to activate the photocatalytic properties of the paint.
The test approach and monitoring strategy were agreed with the Department for Environmental Activities in Rome before it began.
Testing consisted of taking the following measurements both before and after the tunnels renovation and comparing the resulting data, to evaluate the effects (if any) that Airlite had on the levels of pollution present.
Sensor equipment was installed to measure the levels of NOx pollution (Nitric Oxide (NO) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)) present at each of the tunnel entrances and also in the centre of the tunnel.
Additional influencers on the process such as weather conditions, light levels, volume of traffic and wind speed were also recorded manually.
Monitoring was carried out for a month before renovation (July 3 to July 20, 2007) and again for a month afterwards (Sept 25 to October 10, 2007).
Due to the specific location of the test (a tunnel) – light conditions were in general assumed to be consistent, although it was accepted that because of it's large dimensions, it was possible that sunlight at certain times of the day may increase the photocatalytic process.
The greatest influence on measurements would be related the amount of traffic (cars per hour) during the test periods and the wind speed.
Collection of data at the via del Tritone entrance was likely to be heavily influenced by local traffic, due to the large number of tourist buses being parked there at certain times of the day.
External pollution levels in Rome increased - the general daily pollution levels (from 8.00hrs -18.00hrs) measured by official fixed stations in the centre of Rome during both testing periods, were found to be higher in the second 3 week period (from September-October 2007), than they were in the first three-week period (July 2007). Figures provided by ARPALazio - the Regional Environmental Agency for the Lazio region, which is monitors pollution levels in Rome.
The volume of traffic in the tunnel remained consistent during the test period - the average number of vehicles passing through the tunnel during the monitoring periods before and after renovation were found to be the same (approx. 1100 vehicles per hour).
Light levels in the tunnel remained the same during the test periods – average light levels were found to be consistent both before and after renovation.
Pollution levels reduced in the tunnel after renovation - NOx levels were found to have reduced consistently following the renovation. The following graph illustrates the NOx levels recorded in the centre of the tunnel (which was considered to be the most representative for evaluation purposes) both before and after renovation.
A 51% reduction in NOx values in the centre of the tunnel was calculated after painting the tunnel with Airlite.
A 25% reduction in NO values in the centre of the tunnel was calculated after painting the tunnel with Airlite.
A clear reduction in pollution peaks was observed after the renovation (pollution peaks are considered very dangerous for the human health).

Medicines costs 6000 per month for lifetime - any health insurance available?
Medicines costs 6000 per month for lifetime – any health insurance available?
My brother is having some problem in kidney and doctors said no treatment is available. They said he has to use medicines to avoid further damage. Medicines cost 6000 per month and doctors said he has to use life long.We checked with 3-4 doctors and everyone said same.
As it's a Pre-existing disease & no hospitalisation will be there, you will not get the cover from Health Insurance companies.
At best you can try to search if there's any cheaper drug available using http://www.medguideindia.com/ also try to get the drugs through dealer directly wherein you may get some good discounts. Also read this http://www.moneylife.in/article/get-your-medicines-at-60-discount/28578.html.
Dear Xtremeinfo, please contact a general insurance agent and look for the plan on offer. You may contact medimanage people alternatively.
Is there any option which provides these expenses for 3-4 years or some portion of amount 20-30 thousand,Please help with any possible option available,how small it may be,it could help .
Dear Xtremeinfo, NO. No insurer 'll provide insurance cover for such life long recurring expense.

Fire in the Borgo
Battle of Ostia
The Room of the Fire in the Borgo, at the time of Julius II, was used for meetings of the Segnatura, the Tribunal presided over by the pope in person. But when pope Leo X decided to transform it into a hall for music and dining, he gave Raphael the job of decorating it.
Of the paintings prior to Raphael's makeover, only the frescoes on the ceiling, done by Perugino, remain. Much of the decorations of the hall were done by the students of Raphael who had, however, designed the entire room.
The work was intended to honor pope Leo, through the stories of his predecessors of the same name, Leo III and Leo IV. The painter took inspiration from the Liber Pontificalis, the book that recounts the lives of the popes. And again, Raphael enjoyed giving the pontiffs the face of the reigning pope.
The Coronation of Charlemagne
The first fresco shows the Coronation of Charlemagne who was crowned Emperor in Saint Peter's Basilica on Christmas eve in the year 800, the episode that established the birth of the Holy Roman Empire.
Some researchers claim however that Charlemagne was crowned emperor against his will. In the Coronation of Charlemagne, painted by Raphael, Pope Leo III has the face of Leo X and the emperor that of Francois I of France, so the fresco could also allude to the agreement stipulated between the Holy See and the Kingdom of France in 1515.
The Oath of Leo III
The Oath of Leo III on the next wall tells of the episode that occurred the day before the Coronation of Charlemagne when the pope, responding to the accusations of the nephew of his predecessor, affirmed that the pontiff is responsible for his actions before God alone.
The most famous fresco, the Fire in the Borgo, which gives its name to the room, tells of the fire of 847 that raged through the neighborhood of the Borgo Vaticano, directly in front of Saint Peter's Basilica.
The legend is that Pope Leo IV miraculously put out the fire by blessing the flames from up on the Benediction Loggia and thus saved the people.
Actually, the picture also has to do with the burning of Troy and the muscular man at the left carrying an older man on his shoulders reminds Aeneas who carried his father Anchises to safety.
Looking at the fresco, the idea does come to mind that Raphael was inspired here as well by the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and in particular by the painting of the Flood; indeed there is a similar figure, naked and muscular, who carries a woman to safety on his shoulders.
The Battle of Ostia
Finally, The Battle of Ostia tells the story of the landing of the Saracens at the mouth of the Tiber River at Ostia in the year 849.
The papal armies found themselves face to face with the bloodthirsty Saracen hordes and miraculously won the battle. In this case, an obvious allusion to the Crusades that, in that period, were being promoted directly by pope Leo X.

Someone was stopped near the American University campus in upper Northwest Washington early Monday while putting up posters that included one with an image of Adolf Hitler, the university said.
The university said the posters were being affixed about 2 a.m. to utility property and Metro bus shelters in the 3500 block of Nebraska Avenue NW.
D.C. and Metro Transit police were notified and took someone into custody, according to AU. In a statement, a university official said the posters included an anti-gun control message and depicted Hitler along with one of the gun control advocates from the high school in Florida where the mass killings occurred in February.
The university's statement was posted on a D.C. police community e mail bulletin board. In its statement the university said D.C. police made an arrest on a charge of defacing public property.
AU said the person taken into custody had no connection with the university.

Easy Roasted Tomato Sauce – Small farm. Big promise.
A number of you have asked about our roasted tomato sauce. Well, here is the recipe we've used for years! I just love this one for eating right away, freezing, or even canning. What I like about it (besides the tasty roasted flavor!) is that there is no need to skin the tomatoes or squeeze out the seeds. If you use a bigger tomato and are left with a lot of juice in the pan, you can cook down the sauce on the stove top after you blend it up, or sometimes I strain that out and use it for things like Spanish rice.
Halve tomatoes and lay facing down in your roasting pan (or a baking dish). Chop onion, garlic, and pepper, and throw those on top with your fresh herbs. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and sugar to taste. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 350 for about 2 hours. Blend with an immersion blender or in a regular blender.
This sauce is wonderful right away, but it freezes well, too! I have also canned it, but if you use the water bath technique, you need to add lemon juice or vinegar to bring up the acidity. You could also pressure can it.
It works great as a pasta sauce, and you can leave out the Italian herbs and use it as a base for chili, vegetable soup, Mexican dishes, etc. In fact, this is our base for anything that calls for tomato sauce!
any suggestions on the best way to freeze it?
Hi there! You can freeze it in just about any container you want! If you use a mason jar, make sure it is a wide mouth jar and leave at least an inch of head space.

1944 · The G.I Bill
The G.I. Bill was a law that provided a range of benefits for returning World War II veterans that were on active duty during the war and weren't dishonorably discharged. The goal was to provide rewards for all World War II veterans. The act avoided life insurance policy payouts because of political distress caused after the end of World War I. But the Benefits that were included were: Dedicated payments of tuition and living expenses to attend high school, college or vocational/technical school, low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business, as well as one year of unemployment compensation. By the mid-1950s, around 7.8 million veterans used the G.I. Bill education benefits.
English and Scottish: from Middle English abbott 'abbot' (Old English abbod) or Old French abet 'priest'. Both the Old English and the Old French term are derived from Late Latin abbas 'priest' (genitive abbatis), from Greek abbas, from Aramaic aba 'father'. This was an occupational name for someone employed in the household of or on the lands of an abbot, and perhaps also a nickname for a sanctimonious person thought to resemble an abbot. In the U.S. this name is also sometimes a translation of a cognate or equivalent European name, e.g. Italian Abate , Spanish Abad , or German Abt .

Working with Bletchley Park, the SDS and the OSS
Jenny Nater
When serving as a bilingual wireless operator with the Special Defence Force (SDS) in Dover during the Second World War, US national Jenny Nater fell in love with a naval officer. Their love affair ended in tragedy, but their letters, which dominate the narrative in this wartime memoir, describe some of the military operations in which they were involved, including the interception of traffic from German naval vessels to relay back to Bletchley Park.


TALENT - THE BOMB will help you embark on an inner journey through which you will explore parts of yourself that perhaps you rarely knew or never tasted just to discover those seeds of greatness that God had planted in you right from birth. This book will change your mind-set and edit your belief system. It will also help you focus on your core-genius - to be better at what you are born to do, and be a huge success at the things you most enjoy.
It all began on a Wednesday after a very powerful evening service in church. That day, I was called aside by my pastor and together we went outside the church premises for a brief discussion. After he had asked me how I was, how was my day and how was the service? Of which I gave him three positive answers, he went on to tell me he had a vision about me.
In the vision, he said he saw me climbing a high mountain with some other climbers too; we were climbing to get to the top of the mountain. I was fully dressed like a mountain climber in the vision according to him and if you know how mountain climbers dress you will know that they do have a small can of water with them. He said in the course of climbing this strange high mountain, I got tired occasionally which was normal and the people climbing with me got exhausted occasionally too. So whenever any of us got tired while climbing this mountain, I would stop to help the climber or myself with some water from my small can of water to quench our thirst and regain strength to continue our journey to the top.
We continued like this with me helping myself and my fellow climbers until we got to the top of the mountain. They also helped me in various ways for me to get to the top quickly and unhurt. He said on my arrival at the top of the mountain, I got to discover that there were many other climbers who were already through with climbing and so were on top of this strange mountain waiting. They were all looking exhausted, hungry, tired and so much in need of water and food. Some of them were even at the point of death and if not given water in a short while will die.
My pastor continued by saying that immediately they saw me with water, they all came rushing and running towards me even those that could not run were walking and those that could not walk were crawling. They all came asking; some were on their knees begging and others wanted the water by force.
I was left with no other option than to give them the water because they were ready to push me down from this strange high mountain if I refuse them the water. When I gave them the water to drink, something strange happened – the more they drank from this my special can of water, the more the container increased. They all drank to their utmost satisfaction then the last person who drank gave me back my can of water which was still filled to the brim.
By this time according to my pastor, everyone was happy, satisfied, healthy and full of life. Even those at the point of death were now filled, healthy and happy. Those that were restless were now filled with peace. Those who hated their life because of their location were now filled with hope for tomorrow. Those who wanted to leave the mountain top now had another reason to stay back. Thanks to my arrival and my special can of water. Pastor Jonathan concluded the explanation of the vision to me by saying that we were all happy, smiling, and celebrating and they all came to thank me in various ways.
After the conclusion he asked me Brother Alex, do you know what this vision means? I replied No, not at all wanting to know and hear more about this vision from this great man of God. In replying me he said "You climbing that mountain in the vision mean your struggles in life to get to the top of your destiny. The special can of water represents your God given talents and gifts. While climbing and struggling to get to the top, you need to help other people to get to the top of their own destiny, life and career with your talents and gifts. While they also do the same to help you get to where you are supposed to be in life.
He continued by saying, You have to help other people with your talents and gifts. You have to impact the world with your gifts. You have to preach the word of God with it. If you keep it to yourself for any reason, be it fear of failure or otherwise a lot of people will suffer. So many people will not live to their full potentials. Some people will not be saved. And God will hold you responsible for that he said. When I left this great man of God, I pondered on the revelation. That night, the vision was all over my mind. How am I going to help people with my gifts and talents?" was the only question and thought that ran through my head.
For about three days, I gave this question serious thought but did not come up with any reasonable answer. Then I shared the question and thought with a trusted friend, who suggested and asked me Why not write a book? the question came hitting me like a thrown stone and immediately I knew this was what I needed to do. This was exactly what I did and you have the result in your hands right now.
To help you quickly learn all the powerful principles I have provided throughout this book, I have organized and structured this book into three parts. Part one; "You are talented" addresses the importance of your God given talents and gifts. In this section, I explained to you from the scriptures that you are talented. Also in this section you will understand who you truly are and that you were created uniquely by God irrespective of your skin colour, race, country, religion, tribe etc. The benefits and characteristics of your talents are also discussed in this section.
The second part is "How to discover those talents of yours". This section takes you deeper with the intention of helping you look inside yourself and discover the priceless seeds of greatness that God has placed within you. I also provided you with all the principles and questions that have helped me and countless number of people discover their gifts and talents. Am convinced they will help you discover yours.
The third part, Go. You can do it , will help you drop all the excuses that have held you back. It also shows what you are to do with the talents that God has given to you. It explains how to think and dream big with those talents of yours.
I must advice you to get ready! You are about to embark on an inner journey through which you will explore parts of yourself that perhaps you have rarely or never tested just to discover your talents and those seeds of greatness God has planted in you.
I guarantee you that if you follow and apply all the principles in this book; you are going to discover your God given talents and gifts. You will learn just how to develop and manifest those talents of yours. You are going to be successful while using those talents of yours. You will learn how to impact lives and fulfill your purpose. You will discover that you are uniquely and specially created. This book will change your mindset and edit your belief system.
This book will motivate you into giving your best, reaching for the stars, pursuing your dreams and especially about doing whatever you can to help others reach their full potentials and achieve their dreams too. It will also help you discover and focus on your core genius – to be better at what you were born to do, and be a huge success at the things you most enjoy.
Come with me let's get started.

Q: How to make a new image appear when hovering? I need some help with a webiste I'm making. I need a new image to appear while hovering over the image.

This is the html and what i've tried so far.
    #buttons {
        width:45%;
        height:200px;
        margin-top:100px;
        padding-left:130px;
    }
    #buttons div {
        float:left;
        margin-right:100px;
        height:120px;
    }
    #hover-info {
        height:120px;
        width:120px;
    }
    #hover-info a:hover img {
        background-image:url(../images/Informasjon_button_hover.png) no repeat;
        height:120px;
        width:120px;
    }

And this is what I've tried so far with the css, but I just can't get it right. The new image don't seem to appear when I'm hovering on the image. Would love some help! :)

A: img tag contains it's own image so assigning new image with css background-image wouldn't appear.
Also, background-image: url(path) no-repeat; is invalid. You can use shortcut with background like this:
#hover-info a{
  background:url(../images/Informasjon_button.png) no repeat;
  height:120px;
  width:120px;
}
#hover-info a:hover{
  background:url(../images/Informasjon_button_hover.png) no repeat;
  height:120px;
  width:120px;
}

And remvoe the html img tag.

A: Just use the below code:

Make sure you do not mess up the single quotes and double quotes when doing copy paste os changing src.
Hope this helps. :)

Jesus walked through many villages, on many roads, and saw many different people. Jesus lived in a very different, ancient world. Wouldn't it be neat to learn more about Jesus' time on earth and maybe even experience a little bit of that world? The Museum of the Bible takes you there. Starting April 15th, listen to 95.1 SHINE-FM and call in when you hear the cue to win tickets to Museum of the Bible.
The following rules are an addendum to the 95.1 SHINE-FM Official Rules for the "Museum of the Bible Ticket Giveaway" promotion. These rules govern the "Museum of the Bible Ticket Giveaway" promotion (the "Promotion") being conducted by 95.1 SHINE-FM/WRBS (the "Sponsor") from Monday, April 15, 2019, at 5:30AM, DST, to Thursday, April 18, 2019, at 7:00PM, DST; and Monday, April 22, 2019, at 5:30AM, DST, to Friday, April 26, 2019, at 7:00PM, DST.

The cue will air once during Mornings with Tracey, Steve, and Dave (5:30AM – 10AM), once during Middays with John (10AM – 3PM), and once during The Jack & Erin Show (3PM – 7PM) during the contest period. The fifth caller will be awarded the prize, pending verification.
In the event no calls are received after the cue to call is given, the game will be forfeited and Sponsor reserves the right to not award a Prize.
Participants are restricted to the use of ordinary telephone equipment. Participants that enable the "Caller ID" block function will not be allowed to participate unless they enter their correct area code and telephone number. Sponsor disclaims all liability for the inability of a participant to complete or continue a telephone call due to equipment malfunction, busy lines, inadvertent disconnections, acts beyond the Company's control, or otherwise.

Due to the time delay that exists between the Sponsor's over-the-air signal and any online webcast, listeners who listen to the Sponsor online may hear Promotion information later than listeners listening to the Sponsor's over-the-air signal.

If second attempt fails, Sponsor may, but is not required to, award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.

If a potential winner cannot be contacted or fails to come to Sponsor's office within the 30 day period, potential winner forfeits the prize. In the event that the potential winner of the Prize is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor may, but is not required to, award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries, or other means chosen by the Sponsor.
Sponsor's decisions as to the administration and operation of the Promotion and the selection of a potential winner are final and binding in all matters related to the Promotion. Any protest in the conducting of the Promotion, the selection of the winner, or the awarding of the Prize must be made within three days of the conclusion of the contest; the resolution of any protest shall be in the sole discretion of Sponsor, whose decision shall be considered final.

Q: How to read gzipped file from FTP server? I want to read file from public FTP server, and can't seem to figure how to use gzip and urllib efficiently, without explicitely downloading the file then opening it with gzip.open(). Is there other way possible at all?
For example "ftp://ftp.server.com/pub/data/archive.gz" is link I got. What is the right way to read the contents from this file in Python?

Edit:
So I ended using:
g = gzip.open(urllib.urlretrieve(url)[0])
Argument to gzip.open() this way is temp file downloaded from url path, and g is now like regular file object representing archive contents

A: What might work is to read it into memory and then unzip it, the problem is that this will end up using TONS of memory, hence it's better to just download it rather than just dowloading it into memory and manipulating it from there.
