paganism (n.)
"religious beliefs and practices of pagans," early 15c., paganisme, from Church Latin paganismus, from paganus (see pagan). Alternative paganity is from 1540s; pagandom is from 1739.
Entries linking to paganism
pagan (n.)
c. 1400, perhaps mid-14c., "person of non-Christian or non-Jewish faith," from Late Latin paganus "pagan," in classical Latin "villager, rustic; civilian, non-combatant" noun use of adjective meaning "of the country, of a village," from pagus "country people; province, rural district," originally "district limited by markers," thus related to pangere "to fix, fasten," from PIE root *pag- "to fasten." As an adjective from early 15c.
The religious sense often was said in 19c. [e.g. Trench] to derive from conservative rural adherence to the old gods after the Christianization of Roman towns and cities; but the Latin word in this sense predates that period in Church history, and it is more likely derived from the use of paganus in Roman military jargon for "civilian, incompetent soldier," which Christians (Tertullian, c. 202; Augustine) picked up with the military imagery of the early Church (such as milites "soldier of Christ," etc.).
The English word was used later in a narrower sense of "one not a Christian, Jew, or Muslim." As "person of heathenish character or habits," by 1841. Applied to modern pantheists and nature-worshippers from 1908.
Pagan and heathen are primarily the same in meaning; but pagan is sometimes distinctively applied to those nations that, although worshiping false gods, are more cultivated, as the Greeks and Romans, and heathen to uncivilized idolaters, as the tribes of Africa. A Mohammedan is not counted a pagan much less a heathen. [Century Dictionary, 1897]
The English surname Paine, Payne, etc., appears by old records to be from Latin paganus, but whether in the sense "villager," "rustic," or "heathen" is disputed. It also was a common Christian name in 13c., "and was, no doubt, given without any thought of its meaning" ["Dictionary of English Surnames"].
neopaganism (n.)
also neo-paganism, "a revival or reproduction of paganism," 1858; see neo- "new" + paganism. Related: Neopagan (1854 as an adjective, 1855 as a noun).
[The 'positive' philosopher of the present day] offers in the stead of Christianity a specious phase of neo-paganism, by which the nineteenth century after Christ may be assimilated to the golden age of Mencius and Confucius; or, in other words, may consummate its intellectual freedom, and attain the highest pinnacle of human progress, by reverting to a state of childhood and of moral imbecility. [Introduction to Charles Hardwick, "Christ and Other Masters," Cambridge, 18758]

In a July 18 hearing before the U.S. Senate Finance Committee's Subcommittee on International Trade, Customs and Global Competitiveness, the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) – the unified and recognized voice of America's seaports – will testify regarding the infrastructure needs of seaports, and offer a number of ways to ensure that America's ports have to ability to continue supporting U.S. international trade.
Speaking for AAPA will be its president and CEO, Kurt Nagle, who will offer the hemispheric port association's perspectives about the strong connection between international trade and seaports, and needs to improve freight-handling infrastructure to accommodate the nation's rising passenger numbers and trade volumes, both now and in the future.
In Mr. Nagle's remarks, he'll recommend that the best way to provide needed navigation maintenance funding is for Congress to adopt the long-term funding solution AAPA developed earlier this year. AAPA's solution devotes 100 percent of the funds collected from shippers for the Harbor Maintenance Tax (HMT) while requiring no additional tax burden on the transportation industry or on taxpayers. This system assures a fair, equitable and reliable way to keep this part of America's critical transportation system healthy.
In terms of increasing investments in landside freight movement infrastructure, particularly road and rail connections with ports, Mr. Nagle will recommend the Senate adopt the House Appropriations Committee's provision to mandate that one-third of FY 2019 BUILD/TIGER program grants be allocated to ports. He'll also ask Subcommittee members to support AAPA's proposal to raise the multimodal caps on FAST Act programs so that multimodal port projects have resources to build connecting projects.
With regard to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) staffing shortages amid record increases in passenger and cargo volumes, Mr. Nagle will suggest that hiring additional CBP officers at America's seaports, rather than expecting the ports to pay for existing officers' overtime, is a better solution. He'll explain that CBP's Reimbursable Services Program, which allows seaports to enter into agreements to allow CBP to provide, but then charge for, additional services upon the request of stakeholders, is quite costly to ports and sets up an uneven playing field. While the transportation industry already pays user fees to support CBP inspection activities, the additional charges assessed in the Reimbursable Services Program creates competitive disadvantages to U.S. ports.


This guide has two principal purposes. The first is t inform law enforcement, corrections and other public safety agencies in the development of sound policies and procedures concerning body armor from its procurement to its disposal. The second is to provide officers a better understanding of the importance of wearing body armor, wearing it correctly and caring for it properly.
This guide is also intended to provide its readers a better understanding of body armor and how it works, explain NIJ Standard-0101.06 in nontechnical terms and provide an overview of the voluntary equipment compliance testing program established by NIJ to ensure the effectiveness of body armor sold to law enforcement, corrections and other public safety agencies.
The heart of the guide - how to proceed to select and purchase body armor - begins with chapter 4 and includes chapters explaining how to assess the level of protection needed, things to think about when selecting armor and ways to keep it in proper working order. An extensive collection of appendixes is available for reference.
A team of active-duty law enforcement and corrections officers, technical experts and others with relevant knowledge and experience related to ballistic-resistant body armor, compliance testing and conformity assessment developed this guide.

Three-time World Champion Johan Kristoffersson is on the verge of clinching two titles - in RallyX Nordic and the Swedish Championships in Arvika this weekend.
"I like the track. It is technically interesting, but it is a good starting field so it will be a struggle," Kristoffersson says.
If last year's final is anything to go by, where Johan Kristofferson claimed victory in a tight duel with Oliver Eriksson, fans are in for a thriller!
"It was one of the best finals last year when Oliver and I had that fight," he said.
The Kristoffersson Motorsport driver will race the Volkswagen Polo GTI RX supercar and is also challenging for a win in the Swedish Championship for RX1, which is decided in this superfinal race only. The triple world champion won his first domestic rallycross championship last year and is now aiming for a second title.
Currently, Johan is 27 points ahead of second-place Niclas Grönholm, who will not race in Arvika. On the other hand, the third-placed Sondre Evjen, who has 108.
Should Kristoffersson score a few more points he will secure the RallyX Nordic title, but he is aware that he needs the perfect weekend on home soil.
"It is a narrow track, so it is important to get to the starts and stay away from problems," the Swede said.

IE Powers 'Hunger Games' Online Exploration
by Aaron Baar , April 15, 2013
Movie sequels are intended to be bigger, better and more engaging than their predecessors. And so are their marketing campaigns.
For the launch of its November release, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" (a sequel to last year's "The Hunger Games"), Lionsgate entertainment has teamed once again with Microsoft's Internet Explorer to set up an online destination for fans to find out not only about the movie, but also what other people are saying about it.
"For us, our fans are discovering and consuming content on all devices. We wanted to create an experience for all those devices, and they focused on that," Danielle DePalma, senior vice president of digital marketing for Lionsgate, tells Marketing Daily. "We really looked to [Internet Explorer] to bring the technology to the story we wanted to tell."
The site, The Hunger Games Explorer, is designed to showcase all of the content associated with the Hunger Games movie, including trailers (the first was released last night after debuting on the MTV Movie Awards) and commentary and reaction from fan blogs, as well as Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr feeds, DePalma says. The site will be the digital home for fans to track every development in the franchise up until the film's release in November.
"It really is about his wonderful fan base online, and we wanted to create an experience that would bring them into the [film]," she says. The site will serve as a social aggregator displaying both official and fan-generated content from various social media platforms. (Users will be able to filter the content, so they can see just what they want to, DePalma says.)
The site was built to be used on multiple platforms, including tablets, PCs and smartphones, which was a key technology component that Internet Explorer brought to the promotion, DePalma says. Taking full advantage of multi-touch functionality, users can swipe and scroll through the content by flicking their fingers. They can also call attention to content by "sparking" the objects.
"With The Hunger Games Explorer, we wanted to change the game for how a movie can be extended to the Web, providing an intensely immersive experience for fans," said Roger Capriotti, director, Internet Explorer marketing, in a release. "The Hunger Games Explorer continues IE's work to bring innovative experiences to the Web, showcasing what's possible with amazing content and a modern browser like IE that is fast, fluid and perfect for touch."

The True Benefits of a Homecoming Secondary Listing Fuelling the future growth of Hong Kong capital markets
Fuelling the future growth of Hong Kong capital markets
#IPO
HKEX at 20
By Christina Bao, Head of Global Issuer Services at HKEX
Over the past 20 years Hong Kong's capital markets have grown in spectacular fashion. Looking forward, HKEX, at the heart of those markets, continues to look for new and exciting sources of growth. We are welcoming companies to our markets from new jurisdictions, supporting fast-evolving sectors and designing strategies that deepen our relationship with companies and investors around the world.
Hong Kong's capital markets have enjoyed stellar growth and expansion over the past 20 years, driven in large part by the role we have played in Mainland China's ongoing economic liberalisation. Now, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) is looking to leverage its unique strengths by exploring new frontiers, innovations and socio-economic shifts that will help drive our continued growth.
The jewel in HKEX's crown is its equity listings market. And, in the last twenty years, HKEX has welcomed companies with share offerings raising HK$3.9 trillion, finishing the last decade as the world's largest primary public equity fundraising venue by proceeds[i]. Hong Kong's Initial Public Offering (IPO) franchise is central to its position as the premier Asian capital market. And we continue to seek innovative ways to further solidify our unique position at the heart of that market, expanding our services and platforms to better serve and connect regional and global investors and companies.
We are mindful that this expansion must be client-centric and demand-driven, evolving with the business community around us. An example of this is the Biotech Chapter that HKEX introduced two years ago, which has helped foster a new but rapidly growing biotech ecosystem in Hong Kong. And we know that there are other emerging industries and growing businesses in dynamic, developing countries that can directly benefit from our services and platforms.
Focused on Growth Frontiers
HKEX has attracted many Mainland Chinese companies to list in Hong Kong in the past two decades, largely due to the rapid growth of the Chinese economy, coupled with increasing demand from global investors for exposure to the region's growth. The ongoing economic changes gradually taking shape in China are today enabling new technologies and enhanced R&D capabilities to blossom on the Mainland and HKEX is well positioned to support these new corporate stars of the future, supporting them in their growth ambitions by proving access to international capital, through our markets.
We are also working to develop IPO pipelines in rapidly emerging markets that will bring interesting and diverse growth stories to Hong Kong's markets. Some of these new jurisdictions have the economics and demographics that will create fertile ground for the next unicorns. Places such as India, Indonesia and Vietnam are hotbeds of innovation and new businesses – all of which will require capital; and their domestic markets may not have the capacity to meet immediate needs. With a large population of young consumers who will gain spending power in the next decade, companies in these jurisdictions will need reliable access to capital to better serve this rising demand. And this is where Hong Kong and HKEX come in.
Expanding our footprint in these countries will not be straight forward, as they differ in language, culture and regulatory regimes. However, with our deep and liquid global markets, our strong connection to China, our international mind set and our well-known ability to adapt, we see HKEX playing a notable role in helping fuel the growth of Asia's best and brightest businesses in the years to come.
Building Ecosystems
HKEX is also looking to new and evolving sectors for growth, much as it has done with the biotech industry. The global pandemic in the first half of 2020 has accelerated the interest in the life sciences industry, and we believe the attention and investment in biotech and healthcare will continue. HKEX is focused on building an ecosystem for the long-term development of such sectors, encompassing issuers, investors, professional services providers, and robust market infrastructure.
Hong Kong capital markets have historical strengths in real estate, finance, technology and consumer products and services, and we are well-positioned to work with companies in these sectors from new jurisdictions. Fintech is a particularly exciting arena for example, and with its applications for mobile services, can also reduce inequality and better serve the new generation. Online services from shopping, payment to O2O (online to offline), B2B solutions, and education show great promise. These businesses need a capital market that can appreciate their business models, and provide them with financing solutions. The lack of legacy systems or the absence of trusted and deep capital markets in many developing countries, provide significant opportunities for HKEX to support the growth of businesses through the region.
Supporting growth across the corporate lifecycle is critical to economic sustainability. From private company to pre-listing enterprise, from celebrating an IPO to maturity as a listed corporation, HKEX looks to partner with organisations through the journey.
We are continuously thinking of new ways to offer the products and services that we are well-positioned to provide. This requires us to think beyond the IPO, and to consider the listing as one chapter in the long and fruitful relationship between HKEX and company.
We typically begin to directly interact with potential listing companies about two years before they go public, although this can be much longer. Companies have many options available to them to help fund their ambitions, and in order for HKEX to remain attractive and competitive we must seek innovative ways to support pre-IPO companies, extolling the benefits of public company life.
HKEX already leads the world in IPOs, but we know that there are still ways to improve the Hong Kong listing experience, such as the recent improvements we made to the settlement process, which will increase efficiency.
We also want to improve how we support and keep in touch with our HKEX family once they have listed. We know that we can add value in various ways, such as supporting their dialogue with their own investors, through strong IR, providing training on governance and ESG standards, and supporting the streamlining of processes around financing activities.
All of these interactions start with understanding our clients' evolving needs and designing our solutions by leveraging technology and our skills and expertise. Our focus is and always will be, on making the whole ecosystem work better, on making our markets ever more attractive, and supporting the prosperity of all those involved.
Our Continued Evolution
This year HKEX is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its own IPO. We have evolved from a relatively small Hong Kong-focused market with local participants to become a globally recognised market that plays a pivotal role connecting China and the rest of the world. We are more relevant than we have ever been and we are relied upon by international and regional investors and companies alike. We are the global markets leader in the Asian time zone.
HKEX is expanding its footprint, diversifying and building the global attractiveness of its markets. We want to lead by example. We are doing this with an open mind, listening and collaborating to ensure that we deliver what the market needs.

Home / Leisure / A memorable mid-week retreat by Michael Grahamslaw
A Memorable Mid-week Retreat By Michael Grahamslaw
4 Star Slaley Hall Hotel, now under the flagship of The Q Hotels group casts a sprawling influence over 1000 acres of Northumberland countryside and has long been the ultimate place for a destination break
Encircled by undulating fairways and encroaching woodland, Slaley Hall certainly exudes a charming "out in the sticks" vibe and as myself and Lisa negotiated our way along their long and winding driveway, we knew we were in for an evening of splendour and serenity. The building itself is a stately Edwardian mansion and inside is impeccably furnished from the chocolate-hued walls down to the plush velvet upholstery. And, although it had been a little while since my last visit, Slaley still retains all of that "WOW" factor upon arrival.
Despite lending itself nicely as a haven for rest and relaxation, there's actually an enormous amount of fun to be had onsite. Slaley Hall is home to two outstanding golf courses; The Priestman and the trickier Hunting course, an outdoor pursuits centre, leisure club and even a very quaint whiskey snug. I certainly know where I fancied heading, although having not managed to acquire the necessary "golf course pass" from Lisa, we ditched the bags in our spacious double room and headed for the spa instead. A most welcome alternative.
The health club facilities at Slaley Hall are also highly extensive and come complete with 20m heated leisure pool, steam room and sauna. Everything you need then to expunge some of the stresses and strains of modern living. Prior to having a dip, Lisa snuck off for a 30 minute facial whilst I, believe it or not, decided to work up a sweat in the…GYM! I believe there was a few reported sightings of a pig flying over the Priestman course that day! Oh deary me.
After blowing away a few cobwebs in the leisure club then, we returned to our rooms with a radiant glow, and changed for dinner before heading down for a quick snifter in the lively "19th Bar." Slaley Hall has a longstanding association with great food, I was even lucky enough to witness the great Albert Roux cooking up a storm in what is now the Duke's Grill many years ago and this sense of quality is still evident in the food today. With three restaurants to choose from, each with their own merits, we were certainly spoilt for the choice. And, for those staying for an extended period, it makes for an exciting time being able to test drive the lot!
The Claret Jug, a sleek sports bar with a sumptuous bar menu was an option, as was the aforementioned Duke's Grill, a fine dining restaurant revered for serving up only the most exquisite of dishes, we did however both agree on Hadrian's, a stylish brasserie which delivers classic British fayre with a modern twist and champions local produce in the process. Now that's what I'm talking about!
The new seasonal Autumn/Winter menu saw us salivating and it was therefore with characteristic fervour that we waded into East Coast "Crab Brulee" dressed adroitly in a tangy tomato salsa and accompanied by a toasted ciabatta croute, aswell as Smoked Salmon marinated in maple syrup and whisky and served with pickled onions. The salmon-based starter has been a staple of my eating-out diet for many moons now and this quirky reworking was certainly something worth sampling. Hats off!
There was a symphony of flavours to be found in our main courses too as we enjoyed Roast breast of chicken with a celeriac fondant in a lemon tarragon jus and Pan seared breast of pheasant with bubble & squeak, blackberries and kale which we all washed down with an excellent bottle of Carbernet Sauvignon.
Eager not to negate my earlier efforts in the gym, we eschewed dessert (cue more pig flying) and instead retired to our rooms for a restful nights sleep. We awoke the following morning fully energised and ready to return to the muck and bullets of the media world, although not before gobbling up a quick continental breakfast (full english also available) overlooking the Hunting Course. As we made our departures, Lisa and I agreed on one thing, "Slaley has still got it!"

Police car struck, officers unhurt in Monterey…
Police car struck, officers unhurt in Monterey Park shotgun ambush
By Brian Day | bday@scng.com | San Gabriel Valley Tribune
PUBLISHED: October 31, 2014 at 4:41 am | UPDATED: August 30, 2017 at 7:27 am
MONTEREY PARK >> Two police officers escaped injury when their car was struck by two shotgun blasts in an ambush late Thursday in Monterey Park, officials said.
An unknown attacker opened fire just before 10 p.m. as the officers were stopped in a commercial parking lot at the northeast corner of Garvey and New avenues, Monterey Park police Lt. Scott Wiese said.
The officers were watching over the parking lot of a 7-Eleven store across the street when their car was struck from behind by gunfire, the lieutenant said.
"All of a sudden, they heard two shots," Wiese said. "They said it was really loud, like a shotgun blast. They felt the impact on the back of the patrol car."
The officers sped out of the parking lot to escape the gunfire, he said. They didn't see the shooter.
Monterey Park police, joined by officers from neighboring cities, swarmed the area in search of the attacker, Wiese said. The shooter remained at-large early Friday morning.
The shots were fired from north of the parking lot where the shooting took place, Wiese said. The area is occupied by a gated commercial lot, a vacant lot and the rear area of an apartment building.
Police summoned crime lab officials to the scene to examine the forensic and ballistic evidence.
Anyone with information can reach the Monterey Park Police Department at 626-573-1311. Tips may also be submitted anonymously via L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.

I have been trying to show that our visions of the future impact the way we live in the present. The responses I have been receiving reflect the discussion that has taken place ever since the first century. They range from "needing to wait" because there is no way we can realize the promises now, to "practicing the lifestyle in the church" as a witness to the rest of society, to engaging in "political action" to bring the entire human community closer to the ideals of the Kingdom.
Hope's third vision, the Beloved Community, perfectly illustrates this discussion. Its promises are explicitly based on Jesus' parables that picture a future marriage feast with God and all his people around a table sharing food, conversation, and everything else they have. However, they are perhaps even more implicitly founded on Jesus' practice of sharing meals with sinners and tax collectors, women and outcasts, friends and enemies.
The church embraced this vision when she made a meal her main act of worship. Every time this Communion meal is celebrated, the Church not only remembers the Last Supper but also proclaims that this is a "foretaste of the feast to come." She prays that just as Christ was present in the past and promises to be present in the future, so he is present now as we gather like a family around a table to share a common meal.
The ambiguous plea, "Come, Lord Jesus," that is voiced in the traditional liturgy expresses our complex discussion of Christian hope. The invitation surely extends beyond Christ being present in the bread and wine that we ingress. It also asks him to be present among us, the Body of Christ, as we share this meal. And we try to present ourselves as the beloved brothers and sisters pictured in the future Community.
It's an easy step from asking Christ to be present among us when we eat together in Church to inviting his presence when we share meals in our homes. To tell the truth, it might be more accurate to observe that the Eucharistic meal enables us to recognize Christ's presence in Church and consequently helps us become aware of his presence in our own homes as well.
It is obviously a harder step to acknowledge Christ's presence in the larger community. In the last century, Martin Luther King used the vision of the Beloved Community to do just that. He cited it over and over again to inspire American society to grant equality and equity to all races. His "dream" used the vision of God's future to bring change in our present. His argument ran something like this: If you truly believe all races shall gather around the same table and share the same food in the future Beloved Community, then you should be sharing the Communion table with all races in your churches now. And even more, if this is your belief, you should be sharing your food with all races in our American society. To put it another way, we are going to be very uncomfortable when we get to heaven unless we have prepared ourselves by sharing our food now with all God's beloved children.

Chiefs sign Harrison Butker to 5-year, $20M extension
By Jelani Scott NFL.com
Updated: June 13, 2019 at 04:28 p.m.
On the last day of mandatory minicamp, the Kansas City Chiefs made a move to secure their kicker of the future, signing Harrison Butker to a contract extension, the team announced on Twitter.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported the particulars of the deal shortly after the announcement: 5 years, roughly $20 million for the former seventh-round pick, who posted a statement on his Twitter account:
Proud to announce that I've signed an extension with the @Chiefs ‼�Thanks to the organization for their belief in me and thanks to all of Chiefs Kingdom for the love! Excited to be a part of this team for the next six years. #ForTheBrand #ChiefsKingdom #LetsRoll pic.twitter.com/0VENXx5oZs
— Harrison Butker (@buttkicker7) June 13, 2019
While he's now known to possess one of the more reliable legs in the NFL, Butker's road to this moment at one point wasn't a sure bet.
After being drafted by the Carolina Panthers in 2017 and subsequently waived in favor of Graham Gano, Butker was signed to the team's practice squad where he was picked up by the Chiefs.
In his first game as a Chief during the 2017 season, Butker completed a 43-yard field goal attempt to lift the Chiefs over the Redskins 29-20.
To date, Butker, 25, has converted 62-of-69 career field goals, including going 24-of-27 in 2018, good enough for the 12th-best completion percentage (88.9) in the league.
Butker has also demonstrated an ability to perform in the clutch on several occasions. Against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game, Butker famously nailed his only field goal of the night: a 39-yarder to send the game into overtime.

Comments from the author about writing: My favorite books as a child were about horses and farm life. Living in a community populated by Amish, my love of history, farming and horses brought me into many interesting experiences. In mid-life, I began to write short stories about these adventures, exploring with a variety of writing styles. My goal as a writer, is to share my personal experiences, wrapped in creative fictitious plots. The most enjoyable part of writing for me, is when my characters come to life. I usually begin with an idea of a character that seems familiar to me, as someone I have met or been friends with. As I write, my characters seem to develop a personality of their own, which dictates the direction of their roles in my stories.
If you are willing to do programs, will you charge a fee? I am willing to do programs, free of charge, if I have an opportunity to sell copies of my books.

I'm failing in the above test cases.I don't know what is the issue.I'm Just a noob in testing environment .Any Suggestion would be a great help to me.
EDIT
Post api Error
 org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.UnfinishedStubbingException:

 2. you are trying to stub a final method, which is not supported
 3. you are stubbing the behaviour of another mock inside before 'thenReturn' instruction is completed

A: I think the problem is the test. In particular, the way that you send the information in the body because you send an Object but the MockMvc needs a String with the JSON format to simulate a real request from outside of the API.
The way to fix the problem is:
   @Test
    void postCustomer() throws Exception {
        Customer customer = Customer.builder().name("name").address("address").build();
        given(customerRepo.save(customer));
        mockMvc.perform(post("/customers")
                .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
                .content(asJsonString(customer))//Call to other method to transform an object to a JSON
                )
                .andExpect(status().isOk());
    }

    private String asJsonString(final Object obj) {
        try {
            return new ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(obj);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }

The class ObjectMapper is from this package  com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper

"Sleeping in the Fire" is a work of creative nonfiction that uses the life of McCleary Bunch Washington, late father of the author, to illumine stories about African-American artists of the past and present. It does this by exploring the link between artistic genius, culture, and mental health, and also by highlighting the relevance of these artists' stories to some of the most pressing concerns of our time. The overarching project is envisioned as a book, a traveling art exhibition, and a short film documentary.
This project is the culmination of almost a decade's worth of research, interviews, and experiences. It is no coincidence that the core issues it explores are now both fueling and confounding our national dialogue about race and social justice.

From Russia's gigantic Metal-reservoir we get ROSSOMAHAAR. I know many Russian bands and their releases and I can say that "Imperium Tenebrarum" is among the best that this huge realm ever has spawned. Melodic Black Metal with some Death Metal-elements, both grim and symphonic, heavy and melodic are the seven songs of their debut, also with a good production, what unfortunately not always is the case with releases from these countries. The compositions all are well thought-through and structured and within that very varied, so there'll hardly be any boredom, because blast-passages can be found as well as very melody-driven, symphonic/epic parts. Also remarkable is the cover-version of METALLICA's "The Call Of Ktulu", with their own lyrics (which you cannot make out anyway) and here and there a slightly more free interpretation and you have "Portals Of Chaos (The Final Transmigration)"... An album that musically could just as well have come from Norway and which should satisfy every fan of melodic Black Metal.

Search Continues for 2-Year-Old Reported Lost In Rio Grande River
Border Patrol agents search for missing 2-year-old migrant child lost in the Rio Grande river on July 2, 2019.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection South Texas
By Jasmine Aguilera
Updated: July 3, 2019 4:42 PM ET | Originally published: July 3, 2019 3:54 PM EDT
U.S. Customs and Border Protection, along with government partners south of the border, are continuing their search for a 2-year-old girl whose mother says was lost in the Rio Grande river while attempting to cross near Del Rio, Texas.
Brady Waikel, Assistant Chief Border Patrol Agent at the Del Rio sector tells TIME the search will continue without a planned stop date.
"We don't ever really stop searching," he said. "Every day of the week we have agents patrolling. So there will come a time when less assets are put into the area to search, but we will still have agents out there and those agents will still be continuing to look as part of their regular duties. The search for missing people like this never really ends, but at some point it does evolve into a secondary mission."
A woman from Haiti was detained late in the night on July 1 near Del Rio after she crossed the river from Mexico. She told agents she lost her 2-year-old daughter, a Brazilian national, while crossing the river. The agents partnered with law enforcement in Ciudad Acuña, Mexico and searched for the girl through the night. On Tuesday the agents on both sides of the border continued their search with a remotely operated submersible, a dive team, CBP Air and Marine Operations, and boats.
The missing girl is one of several who have fallen victim to the river in the Del Rio sector so far this fiscal year. Waikel tells TIME that 21 people have been found dead along the border since October, the majority of whom were found in the water. That statistic does not include bodies recovered by other agencies in the area. According to Waikel, 400 people have been rescued from the river since October 1 in the Del Rio sector. By comparison, there were 125 rescues in total in 2018, according to Waikel.
The search for the missing 2-year-old is underway just a little over a week after the bodies of a migrant father and his toddler daughter were found after drowning in the river near Matamoros, Mexico across from Brownsville, Texas, sparking international outcry. According to the Associated Press, the father attempted to cross the river with his family after being unable to schedule an appointment to claim asylum while at a U.S. consulate in Matamoros. The waiting list for asylum claims has started to grow under the U.S. "metering" policy that forces migrants to wait in Mexico.
A body of a man was also recovered from the river on June 25, according to CBP, and in April, three children and an adult from Honduras died after their raft capsized on the Rio Grande, according to the Associated Press.
The Rio Grande International Study Center (RGISC) tells TIME that the current river flow is normal, and does not believe the flow of the river at the moment would contribute to the increase in drownings.
The river by nature is dangerous, according to Tom Vaughan, a professor emeritus from Texas A&M International University and co-founder of RGISC. He tells TIME that he himself has found six bodies in the Rio Grande over his more than 25-year career.
"Somebody shows up, they've never seen the river before," he tells TIME. "One misstep and now they're caught in the current."
Waikel says all 209 miles of the border covered by the Del Rio sector is river, and said many migrants may be deciding to cross through the sector because it is relatively safe from cartel violence. He added that overall, migrants typically arrive at various places along the border depending on smuggling routes and word of mouth.
On the night of July 1, Waikel noted that time of night, the fact that the mother couldn't swim, a fast moving current, deep drops in the river bed, all contributed to the girl getting swept away by the river.
"It's not necessarily the water level right now, it's just the natural dangers of a river," Waikel says. "It goes back to the fact that we are seeing family units crossing. In most places in the river an adult can walk across it—we're talking ankle to hip deep—but in this case it's a 2-year-old kid who's walking across with her mother."
The Coahuila law enforcement and Grupo Beta, a Mexican government search and rescue initiative, have helped with the efforts to find the missing child over the past few days.
"If there's one shining light to a horrible situation it's the cooperation that we've seen in this search with the Mexican government," Waikel says. "This is a grim story. No one wants or likes seeing these things happen, but it is good to see that the Mexican officials are out there with us searching."

Section 516A of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity and Conservation Act 1999 requires the Department to report on the following subsections of the Act in its Annual Report.
Of the legislation administered by the Department in 2013-14, the Gene Technology Act 2000 was relevant to, and met ecologically sustainable principles.
In 2013-14, the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) continued to support the Regulator in regulating activities involving live and viable genetically modified organisms. These activities ranged from contained work in certified laboratories to releases of GMOs into the environment. The Regulator imposed licence conditions to protect the environment, and used extensive powers to monitor and enforce those conditions.
In 2013-14, the Department continued its commitment to ecologically sustainable development by ensuring that it effectively delivered corporate operations while minimising environmental impact. This included a methodical approach to planning, implementing and monitoring the Department's environmental performance through programmes and policies in accordance with current legislation, Whole-of-Government requirements and environmental best practice.
In 2013-14, the Department's key environmental management initiatives were aimed at reducing consumption of energy, increasing recycling efforts to minimise landfill, and maximising the efficient use of resources.
In 2013-14, the Department maintained an Environmental Management System (EMS) in accordance with the International Standard ISO 14001:2004. The EMS tool assists the Department with monitoring and managing its environmental performance through identifying significant environmental aspects, assigning objectives and targets to control environmental impact, and complying with legal and Whole-of-Government requirements.
The Department continued to decrease its electricity consumption, consuming 40,575 gigajoules in 2013-14 compared with 40,637 gigajoules in 2012-13. This figure includes sites occupied by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the OGTR, the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS), as well properties occupied by former Health portfolio programmes which have since been transferred to other agencies as part of Machinery of Government arrangements. From 1 July 2014, energy consumption for former Health programmes will be reported by the relevant agency.
The Department reports its energy consumption against core performance indicators established under the Energy Efficiency in Government Operations (EEGO) Policy, which aims to improve overall Australian Government energy performance.
The Department was required to meet the target of 7,500 megajoules per person, per annum (MJ/person/annum) for tenant light and power by June 2011 under the EEGO Policy. The Department met the target by the due date and has continued to outperform these requirements for the subsequent years including achieving 4,971.50 (MJ/person/annum) for 2013/14 which is detailed in the table below.
1 In future, this will be reported by the Department of Social Services.
2 Total MJ/m² (226) represents the energy consumption in the Department's office tenancies (20,263,854) divided by the entire office floor space measured in square metres (89,686), rather than the cumulative total of values in the MJ/m2 column.
3 Total MJ/person (4,972) represents the energy consumption by the Department (20,263,854) divided by the total number of people (4,076), rather than the cumulative total of values in the MJ/person column.
The Department occupies sites used for a purpose other than office space (eg. storage). There is no electricity consumption target for properties in this category. However, the Department has decreased its electricity consumption in its non-office buildings as detailed in the table below.
1 Total MJ/m2 for electricity (1,038) represents the Department's total electricity consumption in non-office buildings (20,311,852) divided by the total area of non-office floor space (19,574), rather than the cumulative total of values in the MJ/m2 column.
Of the Department's non-office buildings, one site utilised natural gas. Whilst there is no gas consumption target for properties which fall under this category, the Department decreased its gas consumption in its non-office building as detailed in the table below.
The EEGO Policy contains minimum energy performance standards for Government office buildings as a strategy for achieving the above energy intensity targets. This ensures that Departments progressively improve their performance through the procurement and ongoing management of energy efficient office buildings and environmentally sound equipment and appliances.
As part of its strategic accommodation plan, the Department ensures that, where applicable, it occupies buildings which meet the recommended National Australian Built Environment Rating Scheme (NABERS) rating of 4.5 stars and above and contain a Green Lease Schedule. The following table details the Department's occupied buildings during 2013-14 for which base building NABERS ratings achieved the recommended target.
Energy saving initiatives in the Department's leased property portfolio include T5 and movement activated sensor lighting, double glazed windows and energy efficient heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems.
The Department's Desktop Futures Programme replaced the desktop computers with hosted virtual desktops and has resulted in the Department achieving the ICT Sustainability Plan end user target of 400kWh per user per annum (kWh/user/annum) by 2012. The Department is implementing further ICT energy savings initiatives and is confident in achieving the target of 250kWh/user/annum in 2015.
The Department participated in Earth Hour 2014 by switching off building lights, computers, monitors and office equipment for all its sites around Australia.
In the majority of the Department's offices, segregated waste streams to improve management of general waste, commingled recycling, organic recycling and paper and cardboard recycling have been implemented. Further recycling efforts include printer and toner cartridges, mobile phones and battery recycling which ensure that these items are diverted from landfill.
In 2013-14, the Department reduced waste disposed from its Central Offices by 20.9 per cent compared to the previous year and recycled more than half its total waste. General waste sent to landfill also decreased by 14.6 per cent as per the table below.
The Department held a 'Clean for Green' day in early 2014 to encourage staff to recycle excess stationery and office furniture for reuse. A large quantity of good quality stationery was recovered and made available to staff for reuse. Recycling stationery is both financially and environmentally responsible and assists the Department to reduce its carbon footprint, by helping to eliminate excess waste going to landfill while decreasing demand on resources and energy associated with purchasing new items. As part of 'Clean for Green' day, the Department also recycled unrequired furniture and approximately 4.12 tonnes of scrap metal.
The Department has a centrally managed paper supply which monitors the type of paper and quantity purchased. This ensures that the Department complies with the Whole-of-Government ICT Sustainability Plan's requirement of 100 per cent post-consumer recycled paper being used by Commonwealth agencies. The Department purchases 100 per cent post-consumer recycled paper as part of the Whole-of-Government Stationery and Office Supplies arrangement. The Department has decreased its paper consumption by 20.3 per cent from 46,101 reams in 2012-13 to 36,736 reams in 2013-14.
The Australian Government Pool Fleet requires Australian Government Agencies work towards a voluntary target of 28 per cent of leased/pool vehicles meeting the 10.5 rating of the Green Vehicles Guide (GVG).
Under the Machinery of Government (MoG) arrangements, the Department transferred the majority of its fleet vehicles to the Department of Social Services on 1 January 2014.
The Department manages 10 vehicles post MoG which all meet the GVG rating, excluding one fit-for-purpose vehicle, which is a four wheel drive located in the Northern Territory. The Department's fleet also includes seven hybrid vehicles.
The EEGO Policy recommends the Department purchase energy efficient vehicles and report on transport emissions as part of the core performance indicators. There is no target for passenger vehicles under the policy, though the Department has continued to decrease its megajoules per kilometre (MJ/km) as detailed in the table below.
1 Total MJ/km (3.00) represents the Department's total fleet vehicle emissions (1,026,023) divided by the total distance travelled (341,664), rather than the cumulative total of values in the MJ/km column.

Chronic stress can have a major negative impact upon weight loss but a simple and effective solution is to supplement your diet with the herb St. John's Wort. 1 The demands of the modern lifestyle mean that it is virtually impossible to avoid the stress from daily life and chronic stress has been shown to contribute to weight gain by adversely affecting the normal function of the body in a variety of ways. One way that stress most certainly causes weight gain is by contributing to overeating which is a common problem for many people. While it is almost impossible to completely eliminate the daily stress of life there are ways that you can help your body to better cope with the stress and St. John's Wort is a good choice. St. John's Wort is a natural dietary supplement that has been shown in research to be a very effective in helping with depression by increasing serotonin levels in the brain.2 St. John's Wort has also been shown in research to specifically prevent overeating due to stress. 3 If you have been feeling a little stressed out from trying to lose weight or from just life in general then you might consider adding St. John's Wort to the list of supplements you take to help you lose weight. While a supplement like St. John's Wort will not directly help you to lose weight in the same way that a thermogenic type supplement that burns fat will it may just help you in the way that you need most if you are having trouble handling all the stress of life.

Коко Тейлър () е американска певица, представител на чикагския блус на САЩ, и позната като "Кралицата на блуса" заради грубия ѝ глас и силно влияние върху други музиканти, базирано в традиционния блус стил.

Биография
Нейното кръщелно име е Кора Уолтън. Родена е в Мемфис, щата Тенеси, и е дъщеря на земевладелец. Напуска Мемфис и отива в Чикаго през 1952 г. заедно със съпруга си Робърт Тейлър – Папс, шофьор на камион. В края на 50-те започва да пее в блус клубове в Чикаго. Тя е открита за музиката от Уили Диксън през 1962 г. и е подсигурена с големи концерти и първия ѝ договор за звукозапис. През 1965 г. Тейлър подписва с Чес Рекърдс, с които записва сингъла Wang Dang Doodle (написана от Диксън и направена на хит от Хаулин Улф няколко години по-рано). Записът става хит и стига номер четири на ритъм енд блус класациите и номер 58 в поп класациите за 1966 г.; от него са продадени един милион копия. Тейлър записва няколко версии на Уанг Данг Дудъл в следващите си години, включително версия на живо на Американския фестивал на фолка и блуса през 1967 г., изпълнена заедно с музиканта на хармоника Литъл Уолтър и китариста Хаунд Дог Тейлър. Тейлър по-късно записва допълнително материал, както оригинален, така и посредством кавъри, но никога не повтаря първоначалния успех в класациите.

След като прави концерти в страната в края на 60-те и началото на 70-те години, тя разширява почитателската си аудитория и става достъпна на по-широката публика след подписването с Алигейтър Рекърдс през 1975 г.

Flight cancellations and severe delays are possible at airports across Europe on 10 October due to a planned strike by the European air traffic controllers (ATCs) union coalition ATCEUC, which has around 14,000 members in regional countries.
However, the Danish Air Traffic Association has announced that ATCs from that country will not participate in the walkout.
The strike, which would be the largest held by the union for more than a decade if it goes ahead, is being organised in protest at a European Commission (EC) proposal to restructure European airspace as a 'single space', which the ATCs allege would threaten their jobs and passenger safety. Precedent suggests that the impact and duration of the walkout is likely to vary from country to country, due to variations in domestic labour laws and differences in the level to which the strike is observed. The EC has reportedly made a new proposal to the ATCs in an attempt to avert the industrial actio.
If the strike goes ahead, significant flight disruption is likely; if you have a flexible itinerary, consider booking flights on days before or after 10 October in order to minimise any potential inconvenience.
We do not hold information on specific flights. If flying to the aforementioned countries on the day, contact your carrier or check the relevant airport's website for further information.
Residual disruption is likely even after the work stoppage concludes, as airlines attempt to clear the backlog of passengers and reschedule cancelled flights. Anticipate delays and reconfirm bookings for flights scheduled after the walkout concludes.
Monitor the local media and our regional travel security alerts for further updates on the planned strike, including for details of timings and likely impact.
