I often come up with a topic for this column based on something I've observed in my practice. Since I'm recently semi-retired and just doing routine, scheduled work these days, I've spent most of my time this spring at broodmare farms doing reproduction work on the mares. In the course of being there, I observe behavior in foals and so, at the risk of being anthropomorphic, I'll share some of my observations on foals.
I see foals at 8-10 days of age, because that's the time of the mare's first heat period post-foaling. The foal is brought up to the palpation chute with the mare to keep both the mare and foal calm. At that age, foals don't appear, to me, to have any particular personality traits. They don't appear to see very well above eye level, and seem to mainly maintain contact with the mare by sound and smell.
The next time I see foals, they're about four weeks old. They're that old when it's time to scan the mare for pregnancy if she were bred on the foal heat, or it's time for her second heat period post-foaling. By this time, I think you start to see personality differences in foals. They're aware, and react to the environment much more than they did at 8-10 days of age.
The worst-case scenario is to have a foal panic in the course of handling him during these procedures. The most predictable way to cause a foal to panic is to put too much pressure on him too quickly in trying to hold or confine him. Horses have evolved by having a violent flight reaction to escape predators. They're sometimes reflexive in their instinctive reaction to threat. I believe if we can remember that in the way we handle and condition them, that is to say "train" them, we'll be time and money ahead.
As the foals get older they start to show cognitive responses to situations and will start to "figure out" how to get from Point A to Point B without just the reflex response of escape. How much they're handled, how they're handled and their genetics seem to be the three most important factors in their adapting to "our" world.
Personally, I'm favorably impressed by foals that have a high threshold for panic or fear. I believe it to be a sign of good intelligence in both people and horses. It seems to me that when we consider what a good roping horse has to do, his mind might be the most important quality to consider.


Karan Singh was all set to go to the fields. Among the other things he carried with his agricultural tools, were his sword and a gun. A merchant, who always noticed this, could not but help satisfy his curiosity. One day as Karan set out to go the fields, the merchant asked him why he always carried his weapons along with his other agricultural tools.
Karan Singh went to his shop and told him that even if he told him the reason, he might not understand it. Hence, he advised him to concentrate on his shop's accounts, rather than focusing on matters that did not concern him. He also added that it was mainly because of Dadua, and that the villagers should be prepared when Dadua attacks. Hence, it was wise to always carry the weapons.
Karan understood that the merchant was getting apprehensive. It was understandable, because the dacoits always looted the merchants first, because they were also the local moneylenders. In order to pacify the merchant, he sat down and told him the story of Dadua, the famous dacoit.
In those days, might was right and the sword belonged to those who used it with honor. Accordingly, the sword settled all quarrels. The village, where Karan Singh and his brother Ram Singh stayed was called Pachegaon. In addition, not too far from this place was the neighboring village of Vala. A Thakur Sahib, a very powerful man, who had a large army of soldiers, ruled the neighboring village.
The village of Pachegaon mostly consisted of Rajput warriors, who were united and stopped all attacks from the Thakur. Finally, the Thakur realized that he could not beat the Rajputs. Therefore, he turned to the dacoit, Dadua for help. He promised to give one whole village in his territory, if the dacoit could capture the particular village of Pachegaon.
Dadua, with the help of Thakur's soldiers tried many times to capture the village of Pachegaon, but he was unsuccessful. Each time, there was much bloodshed, but Dadua could not capture the village. He knew that the people were united and the only way he could possibly beat them was to break that unity. Their loyalty to each other was so great, that it was like a fortress against any enemy. Dadua knew that the only way that he could possibly get in was during the time, when the warriors were working in the fields or hunting.
One early winter morning, when the dacoits were all sitting around the fire and smoking their hookahs, a messenger came and told them it was harvest-time at Pachegaon. It was likely that all men at the village would be at the fields, and only the women and children would be at home. They knew that this was the ideal time to attack. Dadua collected a few men and getting on their horse, they rode to the village.
The villagers were always ready to fight the dacoits. Even the women were prepared. A few of them also kept a sword next to their oven, where they made their bread. Even the children played dacoits and soldiers amongst themselves.
By the time, the dacoits reached the village, it was already mid-morning. They looked around and envied the villagers. The fields were rich yellow and ripe for harvest. There was plenty of vegetables and dairy stock around. For a moment, Dadua thought of settling down and becoming a farmer.
When the lunch was ready, then tied it into bundles, and set out for the fields. The men saw the women coming and they stopped working. They gave their bullocks some grass to eat and proceeded to wash themselves in the stream. Then, they all sat under the tree and began to eat.
Vama, Mala and the other Rajput women began throwing stones at the horses. The horses began prancing, when the shower of stones began to hit them. The horses soon threw the riders off balance. The dacoits picked their swords, and ran towards the women, who were ready with their swords.
However hard they tried, the dacoits were unable to beat Vama, Mala, and the other few women. Clearly, the women were outnumbered, but the dacoits were no match for them. They asked Dadua, whether they could shoot them, just like they shot Karan and Ram Singh.
Dadua shouted at them, and said it was even shameful to think that. The fight went on and soon only four of the twelve dacoits were remaining, while Vama and Mala were still fighting hard. They were slightly injured but showed no signs of stopping.
The farmers' quickly attended to the wounds of the women and pacified them. Then they gave the dead men a hero's burial, and returned to the village.

The Saemans Plant 'Seeds of Hope'
By University of Mary | Mar 13, 2019
Educating Catholic fundraisers to be a force for good
John and Carol Saeman are the living proof that business can be a force for good. Their lifelong dedication to philanthropy includes support of the new Institute of Catholic Philanthropy formed through a partnership between the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) and the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota. As philanthropists, the Saemans have supported this program designed to train faithful fundraising developers because they know that the Church urgently needs them.
John and Carol have been key supporters of FOCUS since its beginning nearly two decades ago, including serving on FOCUS' Board of Directors. Through knowing Monsignor James Shea, President of the University of Mary, the Saemans, who live in Colorado, were intrigued about the Catholic Philanthropy program.
"Having met Monsignor on a number of occasions, we were curious about the University of Mary and wanted to see the campus," John said. "FOCUS is our second-largest beneficiary, second only to priestly and religious formation."
Carol said that what is so fascinating about FOCUS and what really moves her is that FOCUS missionaries go out and raise money for their work.
"It's one of the few programs where the missionaries have to raise their own money. From the outset, they 'own' their program, they are truly part of it," she said.
If you are looking for the quintessential American success story, here it is. Both of them were born in the small-town heartland of America – John in Wisconsin and Carol in Oklahoma.
John grew up in the farming community of Cross Plains, Wisconsin. Growing up with the traditional American values of hard work and integrity, John saw his father and brother work the family business, Saeman Lumber Company, established by his grandfather in 1876, a business that remains in the family to this day.
This start in life, built on solid values, set John on an upward course of career and personal success that was sparked by the opportunity to get in at the beginning of the then-brand-new cable television industry.
After graduating from Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, and a stint in the U.S. Marine Corps, John moved to Los Angeles and worked in a training program with United Airlines, where he and Carol met. But the amazing trajectory of his career was launched when he took a sales position with Subscription Television, the nation's first provider of pay-per-view programming in Southern and Northern California. In 1965, he moved to Denver and began his association with Bill Daniels. In 1972, he was named President, and in 1974, vice-chairman and CEO of all Daniels companies.
Inseparable partners in generosity
In the saga of John's success, his key merger was his marriage to Carol, who has been his best friend and partner in philanthropy. They have three children: John, Craig and Catherine, and are devoted to their 14 grandchildren. John and Carol are partners 100 percent in their philanthropy. The couple has been inseparable partners in creating initiatives and programs to help people in need.
So in the summer of 2018, at the University of Mary, the Saemans graciously agreed to meet with the students in the Catholic Philanthropy program and impressed on them the deep importance of training professional fundraisers for the Church.
"There's a tremendous void that needs to be filled with fundraising professionals," John said. "There are many people who have no clue how to do it. The Institute can fill the spots for talented people that are so hard to fill. The program itself stands out as a tremendous need in our country today for the benefit of the Church."
Many of these summer institute students were already working for the Church in a fundraising role, others aspired to be development professionals, and all knew they needed more expertise to be effective in their jobs and keep making progress in their careers.
Carol has important advice for beginning fundraiser(s) or anyone seeking support from benefactors: Don't ask for money from someone without knowing what is important to the donor's heart.
That's important, Carol said. They brought the value of giving to their own family – when their children received their Christmas presents, it was understood that they would give a percentage back to others.
John and Carol, now joined by their children and their spouses, also fund the needs of many religious, nonprofit and community organizations through the Saeman Family Foundation.
John and Carol have taken leadership roles in charitable efforts too numerous to list. They led the fundraising effort to build Samaritan House, which provides shelter, food, and medical and job services to homeless individuals and families.
Through the Seeds of Hope Charitable Trust, they support tuition assistance for low-income parents seeking to give their children the benefit of a Catholic education; through the Life Education Fund and other pro-life efforts, they provide alternatives to women in crisis pregnancies seeking to keep their babies.
John was founding chairman of the Catholic Foundation, which solicits, receives, invests, and shepherds funds to benefit the people and communities of the Archdiocese of Denver; and as chairman of the development committee of the Papal Foundation, John helped support Pope St. John Paul II in his charitable and educational efforts in some of the world's poorest nations.
Pope St. John Paul II named him a "Knight of St. Gregory," a rare honor conferred for distinguished service to the religious and social mission of the Catholic Church around the world.
John, who grew up in a little town of 350 people, said that the idea that he would ever know a monsignor, a bishop, archbishop or cardinal, was unimaginable. But to meet a pope! he said, would have been a boyish pipedream.
Their first time in the presence of a Pope was very humbling, John said. "And it doesn't get old."
They met Pope St. John Paul II maybe 20 times, he said. "Every time was memorable to us. It gives you a wider understanding of the Church, to remember that you were just with the Vicar of Christ on earth.
"The night before the first time meeting the Pope, I tried to stay awake the night before as long as I could to pray the rosary," he said.
"Meeting the Pope takes your faith out of the pew," Carol said, "to think we are one body all over the world. Everyone should realize that the Faith is bigger than the pew."
The Institute for Catholic Philanthropy, created through a partnership between FOCUS and the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota, is dedicated to educating effective, expert fundraisers to fill these vital roles in the Church. People already in fundraising roles for the Church who want to expand their skills, and those who feel called to support the Church in this way, can learn more at umary.edu/Aleteia

Sunao Tawara (田原淳, Tawara Sunao; Oita, 5 juli 1873–19 januari 1952) was een Japanse patholoog, die beroemd geworden is door zijn ontdekkingen aan het specifieke geleidingssysteem van het hart.

Biografie
Tawara werd geboren in Nakajima (district Higashikunisaki)   op het Japanse eiland Kyushu. Hij leerde Engels en Duits in Tokio, en studeerde van 1898 tot 1901 geneeskunde aan de Keizerlijke Universiteit van Tokio. Daarna werkte hij als assistent aan de afdelingen huidziekten en interne geneeskunde. In januari 1903 reisde de toen dertigjarige Tawara naar Duitsland. Na een kort verblijf in Berlijn trok hij, op aanraden van zijn landgenoot Keisaku Kukubo, naar Marburg, om zich daar aan het Pathologisch Instituut van Professor Ludwig Aschoff verder te bekwamen in de pathologie en pathologische anatomie. Gedurende de drie jaar die hij daar doorbracht deed hij zijn belangrijkste ontdekkingen.

In 1906 werd Tawara benoemd tot buitengewoon hoogleraar in de Pathologie aan de Medische Hogeschool van Fukuoka, die in 1911 opging in de Universiteit van Kyushu. In 1908 promoveerde hij aan de Universiteit van Tokio, waarna hij werd benoemd tot gewoon hoogleraar in de Pathologie. Hij bleef tot aan zijn emeritaat
in 1933 aan de universiteit van Kyushu werken, de laatste drie jaar als decaan van de Medische faculteit.

Tawara was een bescheiden man, die weinig sprak over zijn ontdekkingen, die van onschatbare waarde zijn geweest voor de ontwikkeling van de cardiologie.

Werk
Op verzoek van zijn begeleider, Prof. Ludwig Aschoff, bestudeerde Tawara de histologie van spiercellen in het hart. De studie werd ingegeven door de observatie dat in de harten van overleden patiënten met hartfalen soms bundels van spiercellen werden gevonden waarin weinig myofibrillen aanwezig waren. Door het bestuderen van gezonde (dieren)harten toonde Tawara aan dat deze cellen geenszins een pathologisch verschijnsel waren: Ze vormen een speciaal type dat nu bekendstaat als "purkinjecellen", naar Jan Evangelista Purkinje, die ze eerder beschreven had. Dankzij het werk van Tawara weten we nu dat deze cellen onderdeel zijn van het specifieke geleidingssysteem van het hart, dat de elektrische activatie die voorafgaat aan de mechanische contractie snel geleidt over de spier van de hartkamers. Tawara gaf verder een nauwkeurige beschrijving van de atrioventriculaire knoop (AV-knoop), ontdekte de twee takken van de bundel van His, en liet zien dat AV-knoop, bundel van His, bundeltakken, en purkinjevezels één netwerk vormen, met een boomachtige structuur. Zijn werk toonde tevens aan dat de AV-knoop normaliter de enige weg is waarlangs de elektrische activatie, die in de hartboezems begint, de kamers kan bereiken.

De bevindingen van Tawara zijn gepubliceerd in het boek Das Reizleitungssystem des Säugetierherzens, later vertaald in het Japans en in het Engels als The Conduction System of the Mammalian Heart.

Naar Tawara vernoemd
De twee takken waarin de bundel van His zich splitst worden soms de "bundels van Tawara"
genoemd.

De atrioventriculaire knoop (AV-knoop) wordt ook wel de "knoop van Aschoff-Tawara" of "aschoff-tawaraknoop" genoemd.

Essay: Will the Northwest Forest Plan come undone?
April 7, 2015 by Steve Wilent
A commentary in the form of an article in High Country News:
Will the Northwest Forest Plan come undone?
The Forest Service and BLM embark on revising the iconic plan and may allow more logging.
"On a March evening in Portland, Oregon, Forest Service officials met with about 150 members of the public for a "listening session" as the agency begins the process of crafting a replacement for the plan. It expects to finish that work by 2019.
"Many of those in attendance at the Portland session were members of the environmental group Bark, which insists that the current plan is allowing too many trees to be cut down, especially near rivers. Conspicuously absent from the meeting were the timber workers. The scene was a major contrast to the 1993 Clinton summit, when workers protested the loss of timber jobs by loudly rolling big log trucks through downtown Portland."
Too many trees to be cut down, especially near rivers? Where? I haven't seen any trees cut along rivers on USFS ground in a long time.
I agree that the USFS ought to hold listening sessions in rural areas, rather than near airports in Portland, Redding, and Seattle.
Warming Temps Not the Only Factor in Beetle Outbreaks

18 thoughts on "Essay: Will the Northwest Forest Plan come undone?"
I don't think the FS intends to leave people out.. so I wonder why there are fewer timber workers than during the Clinton Administration? Are there just fewer workers around now?
Was that because it was a bigger deal then than everyday old public involvement? Did the Clinton Administration try harder to/ or were they more interested in getting the perspective of these workers?
Mac McConnell
Maybe its because the timber workers have given up the fight and are now busing tables up at the lodge where the folks from Sausalito are meditating on the spiritual renewal acquired in their recent wilderness experience.
Sharon wonders whether the Clinton administration tried harder than the current incumbent to involve the public in writing the Northwest Forest Plan. Not really. As I recall, there were no public hearings, listening sessions, or any similar public forum associated with the Northwest Forest Plan. To understand why, one has to go back to the NFP's origins — the 1984 PNW Regional Guide. Regional guides are now extinct, but back in the day they were required by the NFMA planning rule to address cross-boundary issues. The PNW's regional guide included a spotted owl habitat plan. No hearings or public meetings accompanied adoption of the regional guide. As was common in that era, a draft plan issued (together with a draft EIS), followed by a written public comment period, and then the final plan.
From that modest beginning, the regional guide was appealed administratively, remanded by the Secretary's office, re-issued with little change, and wound up in court. Once the court process kicked off, circa 1989, the Forest Service reflexively circled the wagons, shut the doors, and clammed up. Injunctions, appeals, congressional enactments, more injunctions, more appeals . . . and a newly-elected president whose northwest campaign promised an end to the fighting.
Delivering on that promise meant one thing and one thing only. A forest plan acceptable to the federal courts; one that, to paraphrase its leading author, told the truth and followed the law. The only collaboration needed to do so was between federal agencies. The only audience key to the plan's success was federal judge Bill Dwyer.
That's not to say that there weren't numerous opportunities for the public to express their views. But, none was a part of the formal planning process. Log truck rallies around courthouses. Rock concerts on Portland's waterfront park. Tree sits in big trees. In these ad hoc public forums tens of thousands gave voice to what they cared about on our national forests. Those were honest voices that spoke eloquently and forthrightly. They were profoundly influential in shaping national forest policy, even if their views are not found in any formal administrative record.
Speaking of eloquent voices–Andy thank you for sharing that history.
Three thoughts:
1) Why were these "listening" sessions held where forest workers do not live? It almost seems as though the intent was to listen to the urbanites, the folks who tend to have less of an intimate knowledge of the forest. Could it be that there are fewer voters in the rural areas?
2) Since it was mentioned – I watched a good portion of the NW Forest Summit on television when Clinton first took office. As it concluded, he reached into his coat pocket, pulled out a sheet of paper, and then read what he wanted to happen. The only way this could have happened was that his directives had been prepared ahead of time. That being the case, the so-called "summit" was a sham and a lie and that he came to the summit already knowing what the outcome was going to be. In my mind, he'd just dug a hole and never got out.
3) It continues to baffle me why federal land managers do not use the considerable knowledge and expertise of experienced foresters – people who know how to determine landowner objectives and outcomes; how to write a plan that meets those outcomes; people who have experience implementing a plan; and then monitoring the success/failure of the plan. Instead, they seem to rely more on those who sue and the judges and the urbanites. I'd think a diverse group of folks from the Society of American Foresters would be up to the task.
As our elected officials, the politicians should be able to determine what the long-term outcomes and objectives should be – that is their job! Then, they should turn it over to the professional to write, implement, and monitor a plan. It is kind of like whether or not there should be a new I-5 bridge across the Columbia River. Politicians should make that determination but then leave it to the engineer to design, build, and maintain that bridge. As it is, the politicians write forest prescriptions right down to the tiniest detail and spell out exactly how the managers do their job. [That seems like an insult to people who are educated, trained, and hired to do their job.]
[Heard a story about Prineville, OR today saying that after the mills (fed mostly by federal timber) shut down, they had 20% unemployment.]
"Jim Peña, the Northwest regional forest supervisor, said the Northwest Forest Plan will no longer exist as an umbrella document that applies to all forests equally. Instead, its principles — but not necessarily its specific strategies — will be embedded into the planning documents of each of the 19 forest units."
Off to a bad start: making a decision before following the process. This is the no-action alternative, and under NEPA it must be given serious consideration. The 2012 planning rule specifically authorizes regional foresters to make forest plan decisions. The Forest Service shouldn't be taking options off the table before the 'collaboration' begins.
Actually, the Northwest Forest Plan has never existed as an 'umbrella document,' except in a political sense. It exists (legally) as consistent amendments to individual plans. I think a key question is how much consistency among plans is needed to provide an adequate conservation strategy for ecosystems and species that occur across multiple units.
The new requirement for each forest plan to "contribute to maintaining a viable population throughout its range" is aimed at species like spotted owls, and seems to demand a coordinated approach among national forests that may best be achieved by a common conservation strategy. (That's the approach now being taken by the five national forests in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem for grizzly bear conservation.) Differences among units would have to be supported by the best available scientific information. And don't forget that the ESA regulatory agencies will play a role in insuring some minimum level of conservation (and they tend to like consistency).
I think the Forest Service should also ask what it gains by fighting 19 battles instead of one. Benjamin Franklin's popular quote comes to mind: "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."
Steve Wilent said "Too many trees to be cut down, especially near rivers? Where? I haven't seen any trees cut along rivers on USFS ground in a long time."
You may not be aware but harmful logging practices still occur in riparian reserves, often under the guise of restoration, for example:
* The Goose, Canyon Thin, and Margie Projects on the Willamette National Forest include hundreds of acres of logging in mature forests in riparian reserves;
* The Rail 2, and D-Bug Projects on the Umpqua National Forest also include substantial amounts of logging in riparian reserves stands more than 80 years old; and
* The Long Tom Landscape Project on the Eugene BLM, and the Cheney Slate and Farout Projects on the Medford BLM also involve logging in older stands in riparian reserves.
Not only is logging allowed in riparian reserves, but a substantial fraction of federal log production over the last decade has come from thinning dense young stands within riparian reserves. Unfortunately, the agencies do not separately track volume production from riparian reserves, but a review of BLM annual monitoring reports shows that substantial commercial logging regularly occurs in riparian reserves, for example:
* Between 2005 and 2011, more than a third of the timber volume sold from the Salem District BLM came from reserve land allocations, and about half of that was from riparian reserves.
* On the Eugene District BLM, from 2008 through 2010, more than half of all the acres of commercial thinning took place in riparian reserves.
* On the Roseburg District BLM, between 2007 and 2011, more than half of the offered timber volume on the District came from reserves, and more than one-third of that comes from riparian reserves.
* In recent years on the Coos Bay District approximately half of the sold timber volume comes from reserve land allocations, including riparian reserves.
2ndLaw, I perhaps ought not to have used the word "any" in my off-the-cuff remarks. I support the harvest of timber from riparian zones when it improves forest health and decreases fire risk and potential intensity.
FWIW, wood-cutting permits on the Mt. Hood National Forest say that '"WOODCUTTING IS PROHIBITED in Late Successional Reserves, Research Natural Areas, riparian areas (riparian areas are defined as land within 300 feet of water such as springs, streams, wet meadows, floodplains and overflow channels)…."
I support thinning in riparian reserves when there are clear net ecological benefits. However, fuel reduction in moist westside forests is not restoration. For many years thinning in riparian reserves has been justified based on the notion that thinning improves recruitment of dead wood to streams. But recent science shows that this is not the case. Thinning produces slightly larger trees than unthinned stands, but it produces far fewer total stems, because most were exported form the site during thinning. The gain in a few larger trees comes at the expense of losing large numbers of slightly smaller but still functional pieces of wood. See Thomas Spies, Michael Pollock, Gordon Reeves, and Tim Beechie 2013. Effects of Riparian Thinning on Wood Recruitment: A Scientific Synthesis – Science Review Team Wood Recruitment Subgroup. Jan 28, 2013, p 36. http://www.mediate.com/DSConsulting/docs/FINAL%20wood%20recruitment%20document.pdf
The agencies are slow to internalize this trade-off, but they are beginning to shift their rationale. Now they are thinning to improve species diversity and canopy layering, but they are not evaluating the trade-off between slight gains in stand diversity and great costs in terms of dead wood recruitment. For foresters with timber targets to meet, clear thinking is hard to come by.

CONSERVATION OF AQUATIC AND FISHERY RESOURCES IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST: Implications of New Science for the Aquatic Conservation Strategy of the Northwest Forest Plan, FINAL REPORT, July 30, 2014. http://coastrange.org/documents/ACS-Finalreport-44pp-0808.pdf This report summarizes the available information and concludes that non-commercial thinning in very young stands might advance aquatic objecitves, but that commercial logging is unlikely to provide net benefits due to wood removal, road requirements, soil impacts, etc.
Remember, there are multiple benefits and impacts to thinning projects. You cannot exclude some of the benefits while promoting "Wood Recruitment". Does anyone find it odd that it is only the Forest Service which evaluates and balances ALL the impacts and benefits? All too often, some people use one or more impacts (without factoring in the mitigations) to "prove" that all thinning projects are bad. Every decision is a compromise…. even the decisions to "do nothing".
Bob frankly
A post full of spin. The Margie Project, for example, does not authorize streamside timber harvest. There is thinning in the riparian reserve, true. These areas extend hundreds of feet from a stream. Most all prescriptions keep at least a 75-100′ no cut buffet.
Also, I would not categorize many of these areas as "mature forests." For Margie, riparian areas are characterized by homogeneous stands with minimal diversity and limited understory development.
Let's stick to the facts here.

Jon, I enjoyed reading your comment. Nineteen forest plan amendments sounds like a pre-determined nightmare.
To add fuel to the fire, this was just published on Greenwire:
ENDANGERED SPECIES:
FWS mulls listing upgrade for troubled northern spotted owl
Corbin Hiar, E&E reporter
Published: Wednesday, April 8, 2015
In response to a petition from a California environmental group, the Fish and Wildlife Service today said it will reconsider the status of the northern spotted owl under the Endangered Species Act.
The bird has been classified as threatened since 1990, when FWS officials found the species could be on the brink of extinction in the near future. The decision to weigh an endangered status for the spotted owl — which has suffered nearly 3 percent annual population declines across its range in recent years — suggests that regulators believe it is in danger of immediate extinction.
The bird became a hot-button issue during the George H.W. Bush administration when the Bureau of Land Management requested an Endangered Species Act exemption to allow logging in some Pacific Northwest old-growth forests that are home to the medium-sized brown-and-white owls. BLM's request was withdrawn shortly after the Clinton administration took office in 1993, partially due to legal challenges from environmental groups.
While the threat of logging has decreased since the 1990, the survival of the northern spotted owl is now increasingly challenged by competition from barred owls. Native to the eastern United States, the larger and more aggressive barred owls have in many cases displaced their spotted cousins, disrupted their nesting and fought them for food. In some instances, barred owls have been observed attacking or interbreeding with spotted owls.
"The best tools we have to prevent spotted owls from going extinct are continued habitat protection and barred owl management, both of which are recommended in the recovery plan," Paul Henson, FWS's Oregon state supervisor, said in a statement. "Our review of the spotted owl will tell us whether current efforts to address threats are sufficient."
The status review was requested by the Environmental Protection Information Center. A finding that FWS is set to publish in the Federal Register on Friday determined that the information submitted by the group warrants further evaluation.
Publication of the preliminary determination will set off a 60-day comment period. FWS aims to complete its review of the northern spotted owl's status and propose any potential changes in April 2016.
Any regulatory change is unlikely to be implemented until the following year, according to a FWS official. Furthermore, it would have little practical impact on the already strict regulations prohibiting the incidental harming or killing of northern spotted owls, the official said.
Good point, Emily. There doesn't seem to be much evidence that spotted owls need less protection than they did.
There is also the possibility that changes in the Northwest Forest Plan could lead to listing of other species. In particular, the Fish and Wildlife Service just announced that the Humboldt marten is not warranted for listing, in part because of the regulatory mechanisms provided by these forest plans. As quoted in this article: http://www.kcet.org/news/redefine/rewild/mammals/feds-decide-not-to-protect-rare-weasel-lawsuit-looms.html
"As part of its evaluation, the Service also determined that existing regulations involving multiple Federal and State land use plans are being implemented effectively. In addition, policies and regulations associated with the Northwest Forest Plan continue to abate the large-scale loss of forested habitat types that may be suitable for coastal martens."
If the FWS relies on regulatory mechanisms to find that a species is not warranted for listing, and those regulatory mechanisms change, they're going to have to revisit the listing decision.
Sadly, the ESA doesn't protected species habitats from drought, bark beetles and catastrophic wildfires. Maybe that should be a change in the ESA, or will people trot out the same old "slippery slope" tactics?
You're mostly right. ESA applies to proposed human actions. However, it can help species survive these other kinds of threats by reducing the effects of things we can control.
The status review that's about to be initiated would be a good opportunity for the Fish and Wildlife Service to weigh the relative risks of logging and fire to spotted owls. (Something similar was done for salmon once.) They'll be asking for your input.
I would of liked to attend the meeting in Portland because I think is important for someone to speak up the small producers who depends on, (or who would like to), on Federal Timber.
A Tuesday night meeting at 5:30 just didn't make sense when you live 5 hours away.
I assume that the Forest Service knew that few timbers workers would attend. Not to mention there is general disillusionment that anything comes from these meetings.
I hope something happens because the NWFP isn't working. My experience as been waste and destruction in our federal forests and more social and economic hardships for our rural communities.
Not sure what the upside to the plan has been.
It looks like the Forest Service has decided to schedule listening sessions on each national forest:
http://www.gazettetimes.com/news/siuslaw-to-host-listening-session/article_7d982c5e-6e8c-5b4b-9abd-1268f2b51d4f.html
(But they haven't updated their website to include the schedule yet:
http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/r6/landmanagement/?cid=stelprd3831710)
Revisiting the NW Forest Plan and the northern spotted owl's status may present an opportunity to address the primary threat to owl habitat: fire. Wildfire has affected far more owl habitat in the last two decades than timber harvesting, and fire is likely to become a greater threat in some areas. Thus, there is a need for active forest management in that habitat — LSRs, riparian reserves, and so on. The challenge is to convince the folks who continue to espouse a "hands-off" approach that careful management, even including commercial timber sales, is warranted.


Silappathikaram, (Tamil: "The Jeweled Anklet")also spelled Silappatikaram, the earliest epic poem in Tamil, written in the 5th–6th century ad by Prince Ilanko Adikal (Ilango Adigal). Its plot is derived from a well-known story.
The Silappathikaram tells of the young merchant Kovalan's marriage to the virtuous Kannaki (Kannagi), his love for the courtesan Matavi, and his consequent ruin and exile in Maturai, where he is unjustly executed after trying to sell his wife's anklet to a wicked goldsmith who had stolen the queen's anklet and charged Kovalan with the theft. The widow Kannaki comes to Maturai, proves Kovalan's innocence, then tears off one breast and throws it at the kingdom of Maturai, which goes up in flames. Such is the power of a faithful wife. The third book deals with a king's expedition to bring Himalayan stone for an image of Kannaki, now a goddess of chastity.
The Silappathikaram is a fine synthesis of mood poetry in an ancient Tamil Śaṅgam tradition and the rhetoric of Sanskrit poetry, including the dialogues of Kalittokai (poems of unrequited or mismatched love), chorus folk song, descriptions of city and village, lovingly technical accounts of dance and music, and strikingly dramatic scenes of love and tragic death. One of the great achievements of Tamil genius, the Silappathikaram is a detailed poetic witness to Tamil culture, its varied religions, its town plans and city types, the commingling of Greek, Arab, and Tamil peoples, and the arts of dance and music. Unlike the Silappathikaram, its incomplete sequel, Manimekalai, the story of Kovalan's and Matavi's daughter, reflects a Buddhist perspective.

Speech of President Rodrigo Duterte During the Turnover of Balangiga Bells
Lucille Ferraren — December 17, 2018
President Duterte (center) witnessed the ceremonial transfer of Certificate of Authority from US Deputy Chief of Mission John Law to Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, Balangiga, December 15, 2018
Presidential News Desk
Speech of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte
During the Turnover of the Balangiga Bells
Delivered at Balangiga Auditorium, Balangiga, Eastern Samar, 15 December 2018
Kindly sit down.
I was given a choice whether I would give a talk or not. But considering the emotional significance of this event, I would opt to just say a few words coming from the government of the Republic of the Philippines.
His Excellency Gabriele Caccia, Apostolic Nuncio of the Philippines; National Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana and the other members of the Cabinet; Eastern Samar Governor Marcelo Picardal; US Deputy Chief of Mission John Law; Balangiga Mayor Randy Graza; Most Reverend Archbishop Romulo Valles, my personal spiritual guidance counselor; the people of the wonderful town of Balangiga, mabuhay kayong lahat. I share your happiness and joy today.
The other distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, maupay nga kulop, hiyaong nga katawhan (good evening, good people). I was born here. But on the other side of the islands. I do not know what dialect you have adopted here. I think — waray kalipay (happy waray dialect). Hangtod karon, araa na ang kalipay nato (Today, there is happiness).
Today's gathering is indeed a time to be truly sentimental as we welcome back our Balangiga Bells. It has been 117 years since these bells were taken away from us. Yet, we never lost hope that someday, these treasures will be returned to where they belong.
We know fully well that several efforts to return the bells have been made by both America and the Philippines. It has been indeed a long and tedious process, to the point that the outcome was disappointing sometimes.
But the long wait is over. The rest of the Filipino nation joins the Diocese of Borongan in celebrating this historic event. Indeed, this victory is the result of the optimism and solidarity and patriotism of those behind the bells' return, just like when our forefathers fought for freedom against foreign domination more than a century ago.
But let me be very clear on this. There are some who are the loaders and the pedantic in the government. You know, the bells are returned and it was really because of the fervent prayers of the entire Filipino nation.
Nobody but nobody can claim a singular credit for the generous act of the Americans. The bells are returned. The credit goes to the American people and to the Filipino people, period.
On behalf of a grateful nation, I thank all the stakeholders who contributed to ensure the return of the Balangiga Bells to the country.
The homecoming of these artifacts is truly a milestone in the shared and meaningful history of the United States and the Philippines, and heralds a new and more vibrant chapter in our bilateral relations.
More than just a part of the Balangiga Church, these bells are a significant element in our country's religious and historical narrative. They are an enduring symbol of our history and treasure.
I therefore trust that our kababayans (fellow countrymen) in Balangiga and the rest of the country will ensure the protection of these gems and will continue to preserve and promote our culture and history.
I congratulate the Filipino people for forging a history that we could all forever be proud of. I am sure that our ancestors are celebrating with us here on this remarkable victory and that does not only bring back the glory of the town of Balangiga, but also contributes in the full restoration of our dignity as a Filipino.
Daghang salamat (Thank you very much). Daghang salamat sa America (Many thanks to America). Daghang salamat kaninyong tanan (Many thanks to you all). Daghang salamat sa Filipino (Many thanks to Philippine people). Mabuhay ang Pilipinas !

Will weight be an issue for Canelo?
The first challenge of the weekend could be making the middleweight limit of 160 pounds for Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
Canelo is set to take Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for the unified middleweight championship in what is expected to be the biggest and perhaps the most brutal fight of the year.
However, according to legendary trainer Freddie Roach, Canelo has put on a ton of muscle for the fight, but that could work against him.
"He's very bulky and big, [he] put a lot of weight on. [He] might have a little trouble making weight – I'm not sure," he told ESPN.
It is also possible that Canelo could benefit by skipping the IBF weigh-in on Saturday morning. The federation is unique in that it requires fighters to be weighed on the morning of a fight and both champions and challengers are prohibited from adding more than 10 pounds above their division's limit.
Former middleweight world champion Daniel Jacobs (32-1, 29 KO's) did not adhere to IBF standards when he fought Golovkin in March. Being the naturally bigger man, it allowed him to rehydrate and be stronger on fight night, albeit he lost his chance at getting the IBF title.
Jacobs was knocked down in the fourth round, but put up a much tougher fight than most anticipated, and became just the fourth fighter to go the distance with Golovkin despite on points. It turned out to be worth the risk.
According to Keith Idec of Boxing Scene, though, in a previous report, Canelo will adhere to the IBF's rule. But of course, that could always change.
The winner of this fight is going to be the man who maintains the most consistent rhythm. Once the bout gets into deep waters, we'll see who is still standing, whether it goes the distance or not.

As you can read in the discussion linked above, installation targets for Linux-based systems have been removed. But you can simply run Dooble from within the build directory after make has finished. Before that, however, you'll have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the "libSpotnOn" folder. I've written myself a two-line shell script that always does that before starting the browser.
jajaja please, gime a break, you are using a piece of software that have same behaviour..
well today there's no so many choices.. its a guindows like manpowers in everywhere..
I would understand if someone stick to his words and don't change them in such a timeframe. What happen there seems to be, hey we will focus on black and month after OK pardon (with no pardon we will focus on white.
For those who insist on more than suckless surf there's Midori or QupZilla or maybe just dillo or netsurf?
In the long run, though, maybe best to use a fire-jail'ed browser cloud VM/appimage instance?
The only reference in this forum of Qupzilla is yours, now there will be two.
It is not as minimal in footprint as portrayed, but in Devuan it is alot lighter than in systemd distros. Somehow all the qtwebkit processes that would run along in systemd (10-15 of them) are not active here. But I am confortable with it and it is not made by google/mozilla Inc. Midori was crap, I only struggled with it for a couple of days. Dillo is fine if you are editing plain no script html pages and want something light to visualize them in the background. For plain html5 pages/sites (devuan/debian/torproject/etc) it may be fine.
Qupzilla 1.8.* is more than 2 years old. Sid/Ceres is now testing 2.1.2 .... WHAT A LEAP! Manjaro has had 2.1... in stable for quite a while. As I write this I am upgrading to ceres from ascii as it is the only way I can get qupzilla. Sounds silly, I know. I have my refractasnapshot done (you guys should try it if you haven't already).
Mark this as bluff failed.
The whole system upgraded to ceres, all fine.
Qupzilla and its lib codependency. An upgrade will cause breaks it says.
I am on Palemoon right now, Dillo when I don't need to flap my jaw or access anything that needs a password, w3m when GUI annoys me, and am still looking around.
I don't see GNU Icecat in the reps, but I have used it on Trisquel and would prefer it on my 64 bit machines. It might be a bit heavy for some of my 32 bit machines, but still worth a test drive and some education for my illustrious self.
My biggest concern is that I would prefer to run exclusively free software and am trying my wings at holding my own hand instead of asking others to do that for me.
wrestled it on to (some of) my beasts, and it's not too heavy for them at all.
Preferred browser on preferred operating system. Mission accomplished.
* Being made by Google, I'd only use Chromium as an absolute last resort. Remember, your browsing data is Google's main "product".
The iridium browser project is trying to eliminate this drawback from using Chromium. They also provide binary packages for a few major Linux distributions, including Debian. These should also work on Devuan.
The main 'selling point' that was used for Google Chrome to beat Firefox for market share was it was faster.
Turning Firefox into Mozilla Chrome seems to be Mozilla's answer.
Though some of the decisions they have made make me wonder who the Firefox developers really work for.
Now on with my search for a browser that I can live with, that is able to handle the 'modern' internet.
i tested slimjet and i think (due i dont use youtube to work) its the most efficient and faster browser!
YouTube is very handy if you want to work on your hardware, the odds are fairly good someone else has taken one apart and posted the video of it.
Yes, but Quantum now requires pulseaudio to use alsa. Supposedly apulse will substitute but I haven't tried it.
Your web would look different, smoother, and free for everyone.
midori. More specific its latest version, midori-7. On my old box running NetBSD 8.0 it looks really promising. (And Midori 0.5.11 crashed when i treid to log into paypal.) Any packackes available for Devuan (i am here on ASCII)?
I have been happily using Pale Moon for the last 6 or 7 years (started with it while on Windows), and have Basilisk as a backup. There are no other browsers out there (right now) for me, except maybe Waterfox if I had to.
Well, we all have our preferences. Here on my large ASCII desktop (64bit hardware with 32 bit OS) i am running qupzilla (pretty unstable...), chromium and palemoon more or less permanently and midori for specific tasks where i want to ensure that everything is cleared after the session (banking...).
In NetBSD/i386 midori is the only acceptable browser - native alternative is just an old and slow version of firefox... but anyway, midori is an interesting project i am following (and using) for quite a while. And midory 7 uses a much cleaner GUI that 0.5.11 ... so it would be really nice if there was at least a debian package..
On my very new notebook i (64bit ASCII) i tried Iridium, but failed due to a library version mismatch - the binary is made for Ubuntu.
So in conclusion, there seems to be the need of a free, not too feature overloaded web browser, ideally independent on any specific GUI environment.
Debian/Sid has it and a quick and dirty rebuild on ASCII is doable.
I haven't looked longer at Midori. A while ago it only could do http/https and no other protocol. And with today's quick and dirty build, I got lost in GitLab because some stuff in GitLab's menu refused to cooperate with Midori.
Midori will not be my future browser.
Falkon is going to be integrated into KDE, and hence Qupzilla will die, at least as a standalone browser.
There is a significant community outside the KDE/GNOME/XFCE folks, and these (or maybe especially these?) might be the main community for the smaller browser projects independent on any desktop.
Anyway, regardless if someone likes midori or not - it is part of debian and hence devuan. In a meanwhile old version. A reasonably well tested port might be a serious candidate for the backports, won't it?
But anyway, i think i'll try a build and check the sid patches before, as soon as i have the time.
Ive been sticking with palemoon too, probably about 2 years now. Only thing its not very good at is putting up with google maps so i switched to whereis.com maps and it handles it nicely. Many of the old legacy plugins in are available in palemoon too. I keep palemoon in a firejail for a bit of added security. Waterfox is a backup i have if needed.
Many of the old legacy plugins in are available in palemoon too.
Here's a link with probably thousands (yeah, thousands) of legacy (so-called) add-ons. I would guess that a high majority will work in Pale Moon.
Hope some will find this link useful.
Midori is a nice a clean browser. Tried Falkon too. But I find both a little to buggy as main browser.
I use Basilisk now, before Palemoon. I keep Firefox ESR installed as backup browser in case a website I need doesn't work.
Basilisk is a fine browser fast and with ABL, a cookie cruncher and eMatrix I'm free of adds and annoying stuff.
I also added some extra entries in my hosts file to block tracking, adds, google and facebook.

Q: How to change the Figure style in achemso I'm writing a full paper for JACS using the achemso package. I am asked to an "S" in front of the number (eg. Figure S1 or Scheme S2 etc.) in all graphics (figures, schemes etc.) in the supporting information. How could I do it?

A: Since achemso uses the caption package, you can use \DeclareCaptionLabelFormat to achieve the necessary formatting:
\documentclass[journal=jacsat,manuscript=article]{achemso}

\DeclareCaptionLabelFormat{myformat}{#1~S#2}
\captionsetup{labelformat=myformat}

\title{The Title}

\begin{document}

\section{Test Section}

\begin{figure}
\centering
A
\caption{test figure}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

The solution above only changes the string used in the caption label, but cross-references will be still only numeric (without the "S"). If the string used in cross-references must also have the "S" character, then, instead of defining a new caption label format, it's better to redefine \thefigure:
\renewcommand\thefigure{S\arabic{figure}}

A similar redefinition might be also necessary for other float types.

Origin of the Secret Rapture Theory
Posted by Josh Toupos | Prophecy, Rapture | 2 |
Hardly a week goes by that I don't receive material opposing the pre-trib rapture which is filled with all kinds of error, both Scriptural and historical. For example, I ran across an article entitled "Origin of the Secret Rapture Theory." The first sentence said, "It may surprise and even shock you that neither the word 'rapture' nor the teaching of a secret rapture is not mentioned in ANY Christian literature prior to 1830-including the Bible!" I am hardly surprised or shocked that anyone could pack so much error into a single sentence, but there we have for all to see. This month I want to deal with some of the popular myths about the pre-trib rapture teaching that Dr. LaHaye and I very much believe is taught in the New Testament Scriptures.
By Dr. Thomas Ice
The Term "Rapture"
First of all, the word "rapture" is found in the Bible, if you have the Latin Vulgate produced by Jerome in the early 400s. The Vulgate was the main Bible of the medieval Western Church until the Reformation. It continues to this day as the primary Latin translation of the Roman Catholic Church. Yet, as we shall see later, it was Protestants who introduced the word "rapture" into the English language from the Latin raeptius.[1] It was Jerome's Vulgate that translated the original Greek verb harpaz used by Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, which is usually translated into English with the phrase "caught up." The leading Greek Lexicon says that harpaz means "snatch, seize, i.e., take suddenly and vehemently."[2] This is the same meaning of the Latin word rapio "to seize, snatch, tear away."[3] It should not be surprising to anyone, that an English word was developed from the Latin which we use today known as "rapture."
In Europe, during the Middle Ages and Reformation periods, the theologians were from various countries and therefore spoke different native tongues. However, the single language of the church, both Catholic, and Protestant was Latin. In fact, many of the first books written and published in the American Colonies during the seventeenth century were in Latin. For example, Cotton Mather's famous history of the American Colonies during the seventeenth century was written in Latin and called Magnalia Christi Americana, or The Great Works of Christ in America.[4] Because it was done in Latin it could be read throughout Europe by the educated class. Thus, it should not be surprising to anyone that many new words came into the English language from a Latin source, especially in the realm of theology. Rapture is just such a word.
While it is technically true that the word rapture does not appear in the English Bible, it does, nevertheless, appear in the Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible. Certainly, the notion of a rapture appears many times in the Bible. Translators of the Bible into English could have been justified had they translated "caught up" in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 with the English word "rapture." They also could have translated it by the word snatch. We could just as easily call the rapture "the great snatch."
I have in my personal library at least 50 commentaries on 1 Thessalonians. Virtually all of them use the word "rapture" to describe the event in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. They do not appear interested in using it in a derogatory way nor do any of them go on an excursus about how this word does not appear in English translations. Most of these commentators do not hold to a pre-trib rapture view. They merely use the word because they know that it is one of the many Latin words that have made it into the English theological vernacular. Sorry that some have not yet heard.
The rapture does occur in the Bible, especially if you read the Latin Vulgate. However, there is no doubt that the Greek word harpaz in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, usually translated into English "caught up," conveys the rapture concept.
"Rapture" Usage
Our anti-rapture diatribe noted earlier said, "the word 'rapture' nor the teaching of a secret rapture is not mentioned in ANY Christian literature prior to 1830." Oh really! It is not hard to find out when English words were first introduced into the language. One needs only to check The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) and it will cite examples of the history of the usage of the word. The oldest word in the "rapture" family is "rapt." OED cites examples of rapt occurring in 1400 in English literature.[5] The earliest instances of "rapture" in secular English literature are cited as 1605, 1607, and 1608.[6] OED provides seven nuances of the word Rapture. The fourth entry is the biblical one defined as "The act of conveying a person from one place to another esp. to heaven; the fact of being so conveyed."[7] Two examples of this use are cited from the seventeenth century. The first by a writer named Ward in 1647 and the other by J. Edwards (not the American Jonathan) in 1693.[8] It does not take long to realize that these examples are well before 1830.
Joseph Mede (1586-1638), considered in his day, a brilliant English exegete wrote a commentary on Revelation in 1627 called Clavis Apocalyptica (Key of the Revelation). In it he said, "Therefore, it is not needful that the Resurrection of those which slept in Christ, and the Rapture of those which shall be left alive together with them in the air . . ."[9] While Mede was a premillennialist, he did not hold to a pre-trib rapture. Nor did the commentator and theologian John Gill (1697-1771) who wrote around 1745 the following in his commentary on 1 Thessalonians 4:17: ". . . and to which rapture will contribute, the agility which the bodies both of the raised and changed saints will have: and this rapture of the living saints will be together with them; . . ."[10]
To admit that the word rapture was used in the English language at least a couple of hundred years before J. N. Darby came along does not in the least mean that one believes in pretribulationism. The Greek word harpaz is used fourteen times in the New Testament. In addition to 1 Thessalonians 4:17, it is used at least three more times of one being raptured to heaven (2 Cor. 12:2, 4; Rev. 12:5). So there is no need to get upset over the use of the Latin based, English word "rapture." It is a biblical word.
The "Secret" Rapture Myth
Included in the above tirade is an equation of the so-called "secret" rapture with pretribulationism. Sorry, but this is another mistake, another myth. In all my reading of pretribulationism and discussion with pretribulationists, I have never, that I can recall, heard a pre-trib rapturist use the nomenclature of "secret" rapture to describe our view. I have only heard the phrase "secret" rapture as a pejorative term used exclusively by anti-pretribulationists. Why? Apparently, they enjoy fighting with a straw man.
Anti-pretribulationist, Ken Gentry declares, "On the very surface it is remarkable that one of the noisiest verses in Scripture is said to picture the secret rapture."[11] The truth of the matter is that Gentry wrongly assumes that pretribulationists characterize their view of the rapture as "secret." We do not! However, there are anti-pre-trib rapture advocates, like Dave MacPherson who have taught this myth. As a result, unwitting critics like Gentry have absorbed this myth into their rhetoric without doing their homework.
Very likely it was Dave MacPherson who has spread this myth that equates pretribulationism with a secret rapture. "In 1880 William Reid, in his book on Brethrenism," declares MacPherson, "stated that 'Edward Irving contributed the notion of . . . the secret rapture of the saints.'[12]"[13] MacPherson later concludes, "The pretrib rapture eventually became known as the 'secret rapture.' This label was based on the presupposition that only certain persons would have privileged visibility or knowledge during the occurrence of this catching up."[14] MacPherson does not actually reference anyone who believes in a pre-trib rapture when he makes these statements. It is through slight of hand that he slips such an assumption into his plot of fictional myths about the origins of pretribulationism.
In fact, Brethren researcher R. A. Huebner refutes MacPherson's misinformation about the pre-trib rapture and its supposed association with a secret rapture teaching.[15] Huebner notes that supposed relation of pretribulationism and a secret rapture are built upon the following false historical assumptions: First, the "erroneous notions are the result of the myth that the Irvingites held a pretribulation rapture and also results from trying to link J. N. D. with this falsified Irvingism."[16] Second, when speaking of events transpiring in the 1830s, Huebner says, "the Secret Rapture as used at that point in time did not refer to the pretribulation rapture."[17] Third, "it seems that up to this point in time [the 1830s, T. D. I.], 'Secret Rapture' referred to a rapture at the appearing [the second coming, T. D. I.]."[18] Fourth, "I am not aware if JND ever thought that the rapture would be 'secret.'"[19]
It was the Irvingites, and not the Brethren, who believed in the secret rapture. Since the secret rapture and pretribulationism are not the same, this is where much of the confusion resides. The Irvingite view of the secret rapture was a belief that a few enlightened ones would be taken right before the second coming at the end of the tribulation. This is what Irvingite, Margaret Macdonald's revelation is about. It is impossible to find a pre-trib rapture of any kind in her vision.[20]
Differences Between the Rapture and Second Coming – Dr. Thomas Ice
I am sure that this call to anti-pre-trib rapture advocates will not result in much of a reduction of their zealous proclamation of mythological falsehoods about our blessed hope. It seems that too many are blinded by their zeal to oppose the biblical teachings of the any-moment hope of the rapture for them to take time to get their information straight. No wonder Columba Graham Flegg, in his scholarly work on the Irvingites, spoke specifically of Dave MacPherson's work as "less scholarly." Flegg said, the "conclusions reached in this work and the rationale behind them are hardly convincing."[21] Now why is an expert on the Irvingites not impressed with MacPherson's work? Because Flegg has a thorough knowledge about the times in which MacPherson writes and realizes that he is spinning out myths. Maranatha!

Chas,
Scriptures Listed on 2nd Coming & Rapture Compared https://amos37.com/crsc/
Session 07 Today we have many topics that converge here in reading 1 & 2 Thessalonians. The Second Coming, The Rapture, Wrath, The Antichrist, Persecution, and the timing issues that surround this doctrine. We will be contrasting Luke 21 & Matthew 24 with the seal judgments in Revelation 6. You can find the notes for this session to dig further into the issues raised here. Be a Berean (Acts 17:11) and study to show yourselves approved unto God. The Rapture is a purifying doctrine that keeps the Church watchful. Shalom, Keith

How do the search engines determine what Web site should carry greater credibility in presenting search results?
Dating back to the "dark ages" of the Web, increased back-link counts (hotlinks on other Web sites linking to your site) have been instrumental in helping Web sites climb in search engine placement, also known as search engine optimization (SEO), explains Michael Schwartz, founder of WebWire.
"Just getting links to your Web site doesn't do the trick any more," he notes. "You now have to get links onto highly trafficked or high-ranking Web sites."
Schwartz also notes that "back-link count is still a fact of life concerning online publicity and SEO, so carefully evaluate the quality of the Web site that might carry your link." He also encourages proactively engaging quality online services to disseminate your news or press releases on and over the Internet. In addition, remember to include your link.
This emerging PR effort now adds another layer of value to the old PR stalwart, the press release, especially releases targeted directly to Internet readers. "It's not just the well-written words that carry the message," Schwartz adds. "Now it's also an electronic Internet connection within the release that tells the search engines that the content is of merit."
Why should a company start a video blog?
If you want to manage brand reputation, change behavior among publics, and reach marketing and sales goals, a video communications strategy with a feedback mechanism (a video blog) for internal and external communications is a necessity, says Doug Simon, president of DS Simon Productions.
"The conversation is currently going on without you," he notes. "By not participating, someone else is writing the rules and managing it, often to your detriment. Increasingly, one-way communication is seen as inauthentic and a major reason institutional trust is declining."
Thanks to the blogosphere, staffers are now a key constituency for external communications. "Video blogging on your intranet increases engagement with 'right-sized' program content and a participatory process improves morale, contributes good ideas, and spots problems," Simon states. By including video in your blog, audience connection is deeper.
A fear exists that video blogging will quickly spiral out of control, "however," adds Simon, "the reality is that if proper expertise is brought to bear, it is a controlled digital communication system that is necessary to build your brand."
How will Google's new Universal Search model affect those doing business online?
According to Lisa Wehr, CEO of integrated online marketing company Oneupweb, it will have a major impact on businesses and how they're seen online. "It's a whole new world out there," she explains. "A single Universal Search result may include images, videos, blogs, maps, and news stories."
Businesses should begin incorporating these elements into their Web sites to stay well positioned on Google, adds Wehr. Universal Search elements launched in May are already having an impact on search results. "Some sites are seeing their positions fluctuate daily as news stories and blogs relating to certain keywords become virally popular," she notes.
Marketers need to be proactive and vigilant. Wehr suggests adding content to Web sites such as podcasts, company blogs, and sending regular, well-optimized press releases. "Look for viral opportunities, including news, images, and videos that will create discussion on blogs and social sites," she says.

Ski holidays Alpbach - holidaying in the heart of Tyrol!
The cosy main resort of Alpbach (975 m), was declared the "loveliest village in Austria" in the 1980s and was voted "best small skiing village in Europe" in 2004. The village lies in the inner Alpbachtal on a sunny plateau with a heavenly view and direct access to the ski area at the Wiedersberger Horn. As Inneralpbach forms the head of the valley, peace and tranquillity reigns here, without disturbing traffic. Alpbach entices its guests with its historic ambience and a whole lot of recreational activities, such as tobogganing or winter hiking. The splendid guest houses promise a hearty atmosphere before you even set foot inside them.
The Alpbachtal lies in the heart of Tyrol, only a stone's throw away from the well-known Zillertal. Mass tourism is not (yet) known here; tradition and a rustic comfortable atmosphere are at the top of the list. With the newly built connection to the ski areas in Wildschönau the "Ski Juwel" (skiing jewel) now presents 145 km of pistes, as well as 17 km of sign-posted ski routes, and therefore the area is counted to the top 10 in Tyrol. Equipped with most modern snow-making technology, Wildschönau and the Alpbachtal offer great snow conditions. Additionally, approx. 70 km of tracked cross-country runs, 110 km of winter hiking trails and numerous activities ensure that there is enough variety. In the evenings, the bars, restaurants and discos entice with their high-spirited après ski, partly with rustic atmosphere.

For cruciverbalists – professional or amateur, creators or solvers – there's nothing more satisfying than coming along a clever crossword. "Clever" can mean a variety of different things. More often than not, however, "cleverness" relates to the theme in some way. While a clever crossword leads solvers to an "Aha!" moment, it can lead creators to publication and fame.
One type of crossword theme is so clever, it has its own name: a Schrödinger puzzle. But what is it, and what does it look like? And how popular are they?
Many of us have heard of the famous thought experiment devised by Erwin Schrödinger and his theoretical cat. It is used to discuss quantum mechanics, but most people understand it in its simplest terms: if you placed a cat in a box with something deadly, you would have no way of knowing whether it's alive or dead unless someone opened the box. This means the cat is theoretically both alive and dead.
Keep in mind that this differs from a rebus. In a rebus, multiple letters appear in a single square, sometimes forming an entire word. These letters are not interchangeable, though. The answer requires all the letters.
There are several famous Schrödinger puzzles, but none more famous than Will Shortz' favorite created by Jeremiah Farrell and published on November 5, 1996, or Election Day. The GIF below posted by Reddit user chewpendous and shared by the Daily Dot demonstrates the cleverness.
As you can see, the answer to the themed clue, "Lead story in tomorrow's newspaper (!), with 43-Across" could have been CLINTON or BOBDOLE. It didn't matter who actually won the election. In fact, solvers who found the BOBDOLE answer called in a misprint. Some who found CLINTON deemed the New York Times presumptuous.
Almost twenty years later in 2016, Ben Tausing's puzzle created a similar stir. For the first time in New York Times crossword history, the term "gender fluid" appeared. Not only that, it was the theme of the puzzle.
As of this writing, the New York Times has published twelve Schrödinger puzzles. The first and only Schrödinger puzzle not edited by Will Shortz was published on Sunday, February 2, 1988. Created by Ralph G. Beaman and edited by Eugene T. Maleska, nine different squares have more than one correct answer.
Interestingly, it seems Schrödinger puzzles are rising in popularity. Of the twelve published in the New York Times, eight were published in the last decade. Three were published in 2014, and 2018 has already seen two of them.
Creating a Schrödinger puzzle is no small feat, but if a creator can pull one off, odds are high it could appear in the New York Times. If you plan to attempt one, make sure you have the basics down first. Then, think outside of the box for your clues and answers. Or, maybe you'll want to stay in the box with your favorite cat.

Officials say several passengers were reportedly still asking if help was on the way, nearly 30 minutes after a metro train filled with smoke and stopped in a tunnel just south of L'Enfant Plaza on Monday afternoon. According to the Washington Post, at least two passengers have retained counsel, allegedly accusing the Metro transit agency of negligence.
One woman died and more than 80 other passengers were hospitalized following Mondays incident. Authorities confirm several 911 calls were placed, as chaos ensued.
One passenger spoke with the news and relayed a scene of panic in the train passengers screaming, vomiting, and passing out. The passenger says information was scarce and people did not know what to do, resulting with many passengers choosing to evacuate before help arrived.
There are no official reports of an actual fire, authorities remain unclear about the cause of the electrical malfunction and officials have not commented on emergency response times or evacuation procedures. The incident is under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board, and Metro and D.C. say that hampers abilities to release information.
A metro rail car on the yellow line filled with smoke after it stopped in a tunnel just south of L'Enfant Plaza on Monday afternoon.
Investigators believe than an electrical malfunction caused the metro train to stop and fill with smoke. Two people were left in critical condition, and 84 others were being treated for smoke inhalation and other injuries. The fire and smoke overwhelmed one woman, who died before reaching treatment. A firefighter was also injured while attempting to rescue passengers.
While there were no reports of actual fire, passengers reported that the metro train stopped suddenly before reaching the station and filled with smoke. One passenger spoke with the news and relayed a scene of panic in the train passengers screaming, vomiting, and passing out before they could be removed from the train cars. Firefighters and emergency rescue personnel transported injured passengers via mass casualty buses to nearby hospitals, including George Washington University Hospital, Howard University Hospital, and MedStar Washington Hospital Center.
The metro station at L'Enfant Plaza was closed to all rail lines for much of the day on Monday. Today, the green and red lines will be operating on a normal schedule, but the blue, orange, and silver lines will be running fewer trains. The yellow line, where the accident occurred, is still closed.
This is the first incident on the DC metro station since a collision between two trains killed eight passengers and the train operator in 2009.
The attorneys at Goldberg Finnegan extend their condolences to all of those affected by this incident on the metro, and send their thanks to the rescue workers who were able to assist passengers during the emergency.
After an injury, you may be unsure of what steps to take next. If you are struggling and trying to deal with the aftermath of an injury caused by someone else's negligence, the personal injury lawyers at Goldberg Finnegan are here for you.
