Yes, We Absolutely Have to Think About the Political Implications of Impeaching Trump
Impeachment will fail in the Senate, and it's really hard to see how losing—and that's what a Trump acquittal would be: a Democratic loss—gets converted into winning.

Folks: Let's think twice about these immediate calls for impeachment.
The reason is simple. It will fail. The Senate will not convict. There is no way 20 Republicans (the required number, assuming all 47 Democrats would vote to convict, which is probably a wobbly assumption too under present conditions) will vote to remove Donald Trump from office. And in failing, the impeachment process would likely improve Trump's chances of getting reelected.
Please bear with me and consider these arguments. Let me start by saying I totally understand the calls for impeachment. This president is a gangster, totally lawless. The Mueller Report can reasonably be interpreted as a kind of roadmap to impeachment—as Robert Mueller saying, "OK, House Democrats, here you go, build your case."
I think the Democrats should build that case, make no mistake about that. Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff, Elijah Cummings, and other relevant committee chairs should hold aggressive hearings on every aspect of the report. But opening hearings that are officially called impeachment hearings? No. It's premature.
Here are three arguments I've been hearing over the last few days. I'll rebut each in turn. Argument 1, or 1a and 1b, has to do with historical precedent. The Republicans impeached Bill Clinton for far less (1a). Also, 1b, the Democrats commenced hearings against Richard Nixon at a time when polls showed a public that was still wary of impeachment.
On the Clinton example, the answers are simple. No matter how horribly polarized things get, the Newt Gingrich Republicans just can't be the Democrats' example for how to behave. Gingrich was and is a malignancy. An awful person, a horrible hypocrite (having an affair even as he was reproving Clinton for his moral failings!), and the most divisive politician of our time, after Trump. Besides, that impeachment backfired on him and the GOP. It helped cost him his job and helped Clinton leave office with an approval rating north of 60 percent.
As for the Nixon precedent, that's just no longer relevant. That was a different world, back when Congress actually did work in a bipartisan fashion. In those days, Democrats could count on a handful of Republicans to put party loyalty to the side on a matter as grave as impeachment and follow the evidence. Today, I'm hard pressed to think of one Republican who would elevate evidence over party loyalty. That means that impeachment would be seen, fairly or not, as a totally partisan effort.
"Is an impeachment push the Senate will almost surely reject worth losing same-sex marriage, Roe v. Wade, Obamacare and much, much more?"
Argument 2 is more interesting. It's that impeachment would help the Democrats politically and lift their chances in 2020. The reasoning goes that if Democrats are seen as taking a strong stand on behalf of the rule of law, that forces Republicans to defend the lawless rule of Trump, and that's a winning argument to swing voters and those 78,000 Trump voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin the next Democratic presidential candidate needs to win back.
It's possible. We can't predict these things. But I think the opposite is more likely. Let's face it, the right-wing media machine has a lot of power in terms of how political debates are framed in this country. Fox and the rest of them will fulminate endlessly about how the Mueller Report supposedly cleared Trump, and this is nothing but a viciously partisan "Democrat" effort to get revenge for Hillary (they won't forget to add that it's all a Clinton-orchestrated plot).
And don't forget two other points here. One is that the report did hand the Republicans a little ammo in the form of the shade it threw on the Steele dossier. Lindsey Graham is going to chair hearings on that right up through election time. Second—and everyone seems to have forgotten this—Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz is due out with his report on the FBI's handing of the Trump campaign investigation in May or June. Suppose he concludes that the FISA process was abused in that investigation? Waters that may seem clear to you today will get a lot muddier.
Argument 3 is the main one. Forget the politics, people say. This is more important than that. This is right and wrong, the rule of law. It's the Democrats' moral duty to do the right thing in the eyes of history and let the political chips fall where they may.
I take this argument seriously. Upholding the rule of law and the Constitution is definitely a moral duty. But I say the Democrats have one moral duty that's even higher: beating Trump in 2020. If they don't do that, what will become of the rule of law then?
Here, I circle back to where I started. Impeachment will fail. The Senate will not convict. If there were a 50 percent chance of conviction, or even a 25 percent chance, I'd be thinking differently. But you and I both know that the chance of the Senate convicting is as close to zero as anything in this world can be (under current circumstances; if that changes, great). Any Republican who went with the Democrats against president and party would be finished. They won't do it.
So, Trump will remain in the White House. And he'll declare victory. He and Fox and Mitch McConnell and every Republican will crow about it endlessly and carry on about how those bloodthirsty Democrats have to be punished at the polls. It's really hard for me to see how losing—and that's what a Trump acquittal would be: a Democratic loss—gets converted into winning.
The idea that politicians should do X and not think of the political consequences just doesn't hold up. They're politicians. Thinking of political consequences is their job. So imagine the scenario. House Democrats vote, say, five articles of impeachment against Trump. The Senate acquits. The effort has failed. Trump remains in office, screams vindication, and is reelected.
Will it have been worth it? Two more right-wing—not "conservative"; hard right-wing—justices on the Supreme Court, replacing Ginsburg and Breyer, producing a Court that ends the Voting Rights Act, reverses itself on same-sex marriage, does away with Roe. Worth it? The death, by legislation or court decision or executive fiat or some combination, of Obamacare. Worth it? Four more years of not merely inaction on climate change, but actively making the situation worse. Worth it? Ever-worsening inequality, ever-greater glorification of a totally unfettered free market, and an ever more stratified society where there's just no hope of economic justice. Worth it? For an effort that didn't even remove the man from office?
Here's what the Democrats should do. As I wrote above, all the relevant committees should hold hearings aggressively, just nothing called impeachment hearings. See what they turn up. Wait for the Southern District investigation to finish, see what news emanates from there. Wait for the New York state attorney general. Wait for the emoluments case. Hold hearings following up on all those matters. They can string all this out so that devastating news about Trump keeps dripping out well into election season.
And of course—if evidence emerges of something huge, something irrefutable, then they should impeach. They shouldn't close the door on the possibility, as indeed they are not. But it has to be something that really moves public opinion, so that it's clear that most of the 8 or 10 percent of voters who really are up for grabs agree that it's a necessary or at least understandable step. That, by the way, is not calculation or cowardice. On a matter as weighty as this, having the backing of a majority of public opinion is important. It's democracy.
"Election time is when you beat Trump," said Arizona Congressman Raul Grijalva, one of the House's more left-leaning Democrats, after the report's release. He's got his eyes on the prize. Upholding the rule of law, yes, is imperative. But the best way to do that is to beat Trump. As things stand right now, impeachment makes that harder, not easier.

Seems to me you (MINNPOST), the AP, and Politico are blaming President Trump for a situation Rep. Omar put herself in by downplaying the worst terrorist attack Ever on American soil that murdered 2,977 people down to "some people did something". I see you don't even reference that quote in your "Glean".
Submitted by cory johnson on 04/15/2019 - 07:51 am.
Didn't you get the memo? All criticism of Omar's many ridiculous, insulting statements are just Islamophobic attacks. That's the new strategy.
Submitted by Dennis Wagner on 04/18/2019 - 07:13 pm.
You know hypocracy is when you judge folks different for similar offense. So you are OK with the present inhabitant's remarks about Jews having 2 masters, "your prime minister", your good with that right? Would that qualify as one of "many ridiculous, insulting statements" from a guy educated Ivy league, vs a refugee immigrant, English 2nd language etc. etc.?
Submitted by Curtis Senker on 04/15/2019 - 08:46 am.
The 9/11 attack killed almost 1000 more people than Pearl Harbor. One wonders how Omar might frame that trifling event.
Submitted by Larry Moran on 04/15/2019 - 01:58 pm.
Please read the entire quote. It acknowledges the attack in the context of the effect it is having on all members of the Islam faith in the US. It doesn't deny the attack or who the attackers were.
Submitted by Curtis Senker on 04/16/2019 - 08:43 am.
I listened to the words coming out of her mouth. There is nothing her apologists can say to gaslight the facts. If anything, the full context makes her look worse. She was clearly minimalizing the worst act of terrorism the US has ever suffered. She didn't even have her facts straight at that CAIR was founded in 1994, had nothing to do with the acts of Osama Bin Laden and his Muslim terrorists.
Submitted by Dennis Wagner on 04/19/2019 - 03:16 pm.
So your point is that the present inhabitant never gets his facts wrong and if he did we could rely on you to set us all straight! Fair statement? Not like you are judging, Muslim, refugee, AA, female congresswomen different?

Both of which were dwarfed by the noncombatant death toll in conservative's pointless middle eastern adventure in Iraq. What of it?
Submitted by cory johnson on 04/15/2019 - 07:59 am.
The "out of context" strategy didn't work so now the "criticism of Omar is violence" strategy is in full effect. I watched her speech. No one took her words out of context. She was much more concerned about Islamophobia than she was about the people who had something done to them on 9/11. I'd also like some proof of the increased threats.
Submitted by Curtis Senker on 04/15/2019 - 08:43 am.
I agree. With Omar, proof is always a necessary component.
Submitted by Curtis Senker on 04/15/2019 - 08:42 am.
"Purports" to show her being dismissive of the 2001 terrorist attacks? Did the author watch the video?
What Omar did was no surprise; she doesn't know any better; but the media does. Gaslighting the issue is actually worse than the actual offence, in my opinion.

She can't even get the founding of CAIR right.

Because factual accuracy is what Trump fans demand, right?
It's why so many brave men – fine people on both sides – fought and died at the River of Blood.
Submitted by Curtis Senker on 04/16/2019 - 10:43 am.
Both sides do it, right?

As the rightists say when they harp on Clinton or Obama, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy.
Submitted by RB Holbrook on 04/15/2019 - 10:21 am.
The comments here are taking a tone usually found over at the Pioneer Press's lightly moderated site. We see plenty of criticism of Rep. Omar (who, as we know has the temerity to be not only a Democrat and a woman, but Somali American and Muslim). We don't see any criticism of death threats levied against her; in fact, we see skepticism that these threats are real.
Rep. Omar may be to blame for failing to recognize the depths to which America has sunk in the Age of Trump. Death threats are to be regarded as mere "criticism" or "commentary," unless levied against a supporter of the current regime. Progressive women, especially if they are on-white, are subject to a special level of scrutiny that white male counterparts have been able to avoid (is Fox News examining every word Dean Phillips says with the same loving attention to detail?). Inflammatory speech is okay, as long as the inflammation is against the people it is appropriate to hate. OF course, no pushback is allowed. I'm waiting for the pearl-clutching when the news hits that Yemeni bodega owners across the five boroughs are not selling the New York Post, as a reaction to their highly inflammatory cover picture ("What about Freedom of Speech?" they will have been told to say).
Interesting how many of the people making these remarks regard talk of American fascism as overblown leftist hysteria.
Submitted by cory johnson on 04/15/2019 - 11:00 am.
None of us has said she doesn't have a right to say anything. In fact, I believe the more she talks the better Republicans will do in 2020. Really surprised that you think any criticism of her could only be due to having an issue with her ethnicity, gender etc rather than the content of her speech. I guess that is easier than defending what she said. And as far as I know Dean hasn't said a word since November of 2018. If he has said anything even remotely as insane as ams Omar I'd be happy to comment.
Submitted by RB Holbrook on 04/15/2019 - 04:28 pm.
Honestly? You really think that any other freshman member of the House would be subject to this level of scrutiny? Good Lord.
More to the point, I am not really surprised that you think her ethnicity, gender, and (most of all) her religion would not enter into the "criticism" of her. To frame it a different way: How much time has Fox News or the Republican Party spent condemning Pat Robertson for his 9/11 comments?
You really think that any other freshman member of the House would be subject to this level of scrutiny?
Dunno about that incredulity, friend. Seems I've been reading a lot about the wacky stuff Occasio-Cortez and Rashida Thlaib have been saying.
Squeaky wheels get the greasing.

Smearing Omar (and anyone else speaking truth to power,) is simply Republicans campaigning.
The bullying is just the current POTUS style.

You do realize that as a US Representative, Omar is a component of "the power", right?

Ms. Omar has more humanity in one toe than do the leader, the leader's family, and the leader's associates all together. The leader has pledged his obeisance to the kingdom that provided the principal material support for the 9/11 attacks and continues to be the principal source of material support for radical Islam. The leader and the kingdom are scheming together to establish a source of nuclear material for the kingdom's disposal. Those who spring into action to rationalize the leader's encouragement of violence toward Ms. Omar should think about these things.
Submitted by cory johnson on 04/15/2019 - 11:13 am.
quoting her and criticism of her speech is not encouraging violence. If that were true Bernie would be in jail for the attack on Republicans at the DC softball field.
Submitted by RB Holbrook on 04/17/2019 - 09:17 am.
What did he say to encourage violence? Be specific.
Submitted by Pat Terry on 04/15/2019 - 11:28 am.
Can we get Omar a handler? Someone to preview what comes out of her mouth? Yes, of course, she was taken out of context and her comments are being exploited for political gain. But if you say stupid things, that's what happens. The problem isn't talking about Israel and 9/11. Its that she can't seem to talk about them without putting her foot in her mouth.
Ilhan Omar is an absolute gift to Donald Trump. Every day that Pelosi and the Democrats are cleaning up her mess is a good day for Trump.
Submitted by Mike Chrun on 04/15/2019 - 12:07 pm.
Good grief, you would think that the usual ardent FOX viewers would temper their indignation after a while. Hillary is not on stage; Nancy is getting old; and, after a while, even using "Pocahontas" doesn't seem that hilarious. So they are given the "gift" of a freshman female Muslim representative from Minnesota who is outspoken and they pounce.
What's really head-shaking is the doubt that these attacks on Omar have anything to do with Islamophobia or that they might actually cause some harm to anyone.
How could any true American disparage the sacrifices our fellow countrymen have made, let alone some Muslim? Some statistics: 591 American POW's released in Vietnam and who knows how many more died in captivity? 7,190 confirmed POW's during the Korean War. An estimated 27,000 Americans were Japanese captives during WWII with a fatality rate of over 1/3. 93,941 Americans were German POW's during that war.
Cadet Bone Spurs sounding off on John McCain. "He's not a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured." As a veteran that upsets me a hundred times more than anything Ms. Omar has said. You simply cannot over-estimate the crassness and hypocrisy of the man and his followers.
Submitted by Tom Clark on 04/15/2019 - 12:41 pm.
I think what Omar was referring to happened before 9/11. For example, there was an increase in the harassment of Muslims in the U.S. after the bombing of the Murrah building in Oklahoma City.
Submitted by Curtis Senker on 04/16/2019 - 09:09 am.
What? No there wasn't. McVeigh and Nichols were identified and arrested within days; no Muslims were ever implicated. Where do you people come up with this stuff?
Submitted by Brian Gandt on 04/18/2019 - 01:35 pm.
I'd refer you to paragraph two.
I don't know if what Tom referred to is the case, but do you think that those on the further ends of the right wing stopped on a dime when the arrests were made?
Submitted by Curtis Senker on 04/19/2019 - 03:27 pm.
Can't do much about the reckless media; CNN has a lot of air time to fill. But it clearly says that after the arrests, no doubt was left.
Submitted by Dennis Wagner on 04/21/2019 - 08:47 am.
IT would appear there are folks that strongly disagree with your "What? No there wasn't." Looks like the same folks that Rep. Omar is talking about.
Submitted by Brian Gandt on 04/19/2019 - 09:50 am.
It just occurred to me that I've taken the distraction bait. The article has to do with death threats on a member of Congress, and I've been suckered into bickering about the parsing of words.
My apologies. Now, what about those death threats?
Submitted by Curtis Senker on 04/19/2019 - 03:22 pm.
They arrested a guy in NY. We're all good with that.
Submitted by Brian Gandt on 04/22/2019 - 07:06 pm.
Actually, more importantly, while I'll agree that the press can influence the reaction to an event, where is the personal responsibility on the part of those that took action after the rush to judgement? Sure, you may think one thing due to a news report, but to undertake some degree of intimidation or violence as result does not strike me as responsible.


Tulane ACP - Any other similar programs?
I'm trying to set a up a plan B for myself in case I don't get into med school this year (which hopefully I do) but I was wondering if anyone knows of other programs besides the Tulane ACP that guarantee an acceptance into the school's medical school barring whatever factors they deem necessary. Thanks!
Tulane's ACP doesn't guarantee acceptance into the Med School. What you want are programs like Temple's.
Like i said, guaranteed acceptance BARRING what they deem necessary. If you beat the Anatomy class average, you are guaranteed acceptance.
It's relatively late in the cycle for most allopathic programs that I know that do have this but I know of a few osteopathic ones that fit this criteria, but I don't know if you would be open for that so PM if so.

Q: Open an app when another app is clicked Is there any way on iOS to detect a click on an app icon, or know that an app is currently being used, and open a separate different app? Say I click on Notes and then it redirects and opens Evernote. Basically any arbitrary app is clicked and another app is opened instead. I was thinking it may have something to do with URL schemes. Im really new to iOS dev so forgive me.
Thank you!

A: No. That would be really counterproductive and a security risk for users (it's pretty much the equivalent of phishing). If you come from Android maybe you are referring to default apps, but iOS doesn't allow third party default apps for now.
You can detect if a specific app is installed using canOpenURL(_:). See the official docs here.

News snippet circulating via social media claims that the United States is set to ban raw meat sales as a means of ensuring that only pathogen free meats are sold to the public.
The claims are false and began life as an April Fools joke. The snippet links back to a longer report published on Mercola.com on April 1st, 2014. The report identifies itself as an April Fools Day prank. Nevertheless, well past April 1, the news snippet continues to circulate, duping at least a few wide-eyed recipients as it travels.
A 'breaking news' snippet currently circulating via Facebook and other social media sites claims that the United States government is about to ban the sales of raw meats in order to ensure that only pathogen free meats are sold to the public. The snippet links back to a longer report published on Mercola.com.
Not surprisingly, however, the claims in the message are untrue. The report that the 'news' snippet comes from is just an April Fools joke. Those who click the link and actually read the full report will see that the report actually identifies itself as an April Fools day joke.
But, alas, although April 1st is done and gone, the news snippet continues to circulate, fooling at least a few recipients into believing that they will soon not be able to buy raw meat in the United States. Many will not click through to read the full report. And many who do go to the report, will not read far enough to see the April Fools joke disclaimer.
While the report does own up to the joke, it is also clearly intended to push the Mercola website's particular agenda on health issues. Many would suggest that much of the material published on the Mercola site is factually dubious in any month of the year.

A Fresh Approach to the Greek Verb
For the past 25 years, debate regarding the nature of tense and aspect in the Koine Greek verb has held New Testament studies at an impasse. The Greek Verb Revisited examines recent developments from the field of linguistics, which may dramatically shift the direction of this discussion. Readers will find an accessible introduction to the foundational issues, and more importantly, they will discover a way forward through the debate.
Originally presented during a conference on the Greek verb supported by and held at Tyndale House and sponsored by the Faculty of Divinity of Cambridge University, the papers included in this collection represent the culmination of scholarly collaboration. The outcome is a practical and accessible overview of the Greek verb that moves beyond the current impasse by taking into account the latest scholarship from the fields of linguistics, Classics, and New Testament studies.
Praise for the Linguistics & the Greek Verb Conference
[Excerpted from the concluding essay] "Another crucial issue is the long-term disinclination of those who study Greek in different institutional environments to communicate effectively with one another, or indeed with linguists who have a more general interest in grammatical and semantic categories that happen to have instantiations in Greek. It is still not unusual, for example, for Classicists to have no real sense of the evolution of the language in postclassical periods (whether ancient, medieval, or modern), or for New Testament scholars largely to ignore what was happening more generally to Greek in the Roman period, or for Hellenists collectively to lack any clear theoretical or typological perspective when framing their analyses of specifically Greek phenomena. This volume, by contrast, is characterized throughout by the openness of its contributors to the value of information and insights derived from work in linguistic theory and linguistic typology, and to the importance of scholarship conducted right across the spectrum of Greek studies. As a consequence, the argumentation in its different chapters is more incisive, and the analyses more grounded and more compelling, than would otherwise ever have been possible. Nothing, after all, breeds cant and gibberish more rapidly than a closed circle of devotees who are certain they have all the answers."
—Professor Geoff Horrocks, Professor of Comparative Philology, Faculty of Classics, Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge University
It is rare that I attend a conference as well-focused and helpful as this. Combine that with high-quality scholarship from a mixture of people with expertise in Classics, Linguistics and New Testament Studies, and you have a delightful two days which was educative, stretching, engaging and stimulating. As a New Testament exegete, I learned much about the Greek verb from this conference, and have gained angles and perspectives which will inform my reading of the New Testament and other early Christian literature. I'm enormously grateful—and looking forward to seeing the book!
—Professor Steve Walton, Professorial Research Fellow in New Testament, St Mary's University, Twickenham (London)
This insightful and clearly-written volume of essays truly advances the discussion of verbal aspect and tense in Koine Greek. I plan to use The Greek Verb Revisited as a textbook in an upper-level Greek seminar.

Sample Pages from The Greek Verb Revisited
Eric moerdyk
While this book is a significant and valuable contribution to understanding the Greek Verb (which I appreciate), it also has a rather striking flaw. It does not seriously involve the significant PHD's of Buist Fanning (he is asked to give a historical overview, not to enter the discussion for the rest), Stanley Porter or Constantine Campbell, or their other work on verbal aspect. Instead it dismisses them casually while still claiming to resolve the discussion. Cf. Campbell's article ''The Greek Verb Revisited' Revisited'. See also Campbell's Verbal Aspect introduction to the discussion for a fuller picture. Why claim the discussion is moved forward while not engaging the full range and schools of thought in key igniters of the discussion? I would love to see a follow up conference and collection of papers, this time involving all the key participants or schools of thought. I would gladly pay for that follow up book and listen along with such a conference!

Greek Verb Revisited: A Fresh Approach for Biblical Exegesis edited by Steven E. Runge and Christopher J. Fresch is a collection of scholarly essays presented at the Tyndale Fellowship 2015 meeting, sponsored by the University of Cambridge School of Arts and Humanities and Lexham Research Institute. Runge and Fresch have brought together a fascinating presentation of forward-moving linguistic research that frames a longstanding conversation around the function and application of the Greek verb. Runge and Fresch help to push the conversation past an aspect-only dialog and into new space with more room for a new paradigm to flourish. As expected, Greek Verb Revisited is academically oriented and probably best situated for intermediate or advance students of New Testament Greek. The volume opens with an excellent forward from Andreas J. Köstenberger, recounting his personal journey and adoration for the work presented. Runge and Fresch have divided the essays into three major sections: (1) Overview, (2) Application, and (3) Linguistic Investigations. The organization of the volume seems somewhat random, but the content therein is magnificent. The first section aims to position the overall conversation, past and present, within the larger framework of the volume. There are four chapters focusing on tense and/or aspect, with no obvious organizational intent, which looks to move the conversation towards new ground. While each of the essays has strengths, the essay by Nicholas J. Ellis, that establishes a cognitive-linguistic framework, is outstanding and Ellis' use of Matt. 2:20 is appropriate. The second and third sections are where the bulk of the volume is spent. There is much that could be said about the chapters in these sections, but most of which is beyond space here. Runge's chapter on nonnarrative discourse was fascinating. Runge is easy to follow and he does a great job bringing the reader into his discussion while remaining humble and honest about the need for further research (p. 265). Again, much more could be said about each essay individually, but as a collection of essays this volume is sure to be a staple for further engagement in the years to come. It is both exciting and encouraging to see an unfolding of new movement in research regarding the function and application of the Greek language, especially the Greek verb. Greek Verb Revisited is both up-to-date and academically stimulating. The contributors include, Peter Gentry, Stephen Levinsohn, Buist Fanning, Rutger Allan, and many more names of equal caliber. At nearly 650 pages, this volume is not for the faint of heart. But, those who specialize in or enjoy linguistics will find this volume to be a goldmine of rich discovery. Some essays are more difficult to follow than others, and this varies from topic and author. But, overall those with a preexisting knowledge of the language and a familiarity with the ongoing dialog on Greek verbs will be pleasantly surprised by the tone of this volume. Additionally, for those who love to explore bibliographies for their next research project or "rabbit trail" read, each of the essays include a sizable list of referenced resources that will come in handy. For future exploration, Runge and Fresch have included a detailed subject/author index and an index of ancient sources. This will allow for relevant information to be retrieved as the need arises—an appropriate and welcomed addition. Greek Verb Revisited: A Fresh Approach for Biblical Exegesis edited by Steven E. Runge and Christopher J. Fresch is nothing short of groundbreaking. The essays included are forward-looking and up-to-date with the latest conversations, and, in fact, push those conversations towards a much-needed end. If you are looking for a volume that presents the most recent advances in the Greek language, while remaining academically practical for exegesis and textual analysis, then nothing should stand in the way of this book finding space on your shelf. It comes highly recommended for those engaged or looking to engage in the conversation.

Not a review - an encouragement... Can we please see this released in the near future? Does Faithlife need some volunteers to assist in the production work... ?
LeRoy Whitman
Anything by Dr. Stephen Levinsohn needs to be read and reckoned with as we move forward. He helped us see connectives in the non-Indo-European language into which we are translating Scripture. Within an hour's time in class and five minute's discussion with the speaker of the language, he helped the native speaker see connectives in his own language (and one's that I, as a linguist familiar with the language had missed). Furthermore, Levinsohn takes the Greek text seriously as well, and capably applies the insights of linguistics (in other words, takes the language as an actual functional language rather than a dictated magic book from which you can "extract" meaning if you study words with the eisegesis you bring to the text!) - he applies theses linguistics insights not just to languages into which we translate, but TO THE GREEK TEXT ITSELF. This important advance is an watershed event in exegesis of the ancient texts that we rightly call the inspired Scriptures.

Leadbeater's possum declared critically endangered after population drops by more than 80pc since mid 1980s
Posted Wed 22 Apr 2015 at 10:43pm Wednesday 22 Apr 2015 at 10:43pm Wed 22 Apr 2015 at 10:43pm , updated Wed 22 Apr 2015 at 11:05pm Wednesday 22 Apr 2015 at 11:05pm Wed 22 Apr 2015 at 11:05pm
The Leadbeater's possum will receive the highest level of protection after being declared critically endangered. (AAP: Healesville Sanctuary)
abc.net.au/news/leadbeaters-possum-declared-critically-endangered/6414284
The Leadbeater's possum, Victoria's faunal emblem, has been declared critically endangered by Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt, with the population plunging by 80 per cent over the past 30 years.
Mr Hunt said the Threatened Species Scientific Committee was "clear and unequivocal" in recommending the possum's status be raised from endangered to critically endangered.
"This means Victoria's faunal emblem will now receive the highest level of protection under national environment law," Mr Hunt said in a statement.
Almost half of the possum's ideal habitat - the old-growth mountain ash forest in the Central Highlands of Victoria - was burnt in 2009 bushfires, Mr Hunt said.
"The challenges facing this iconic species are significant," Mr Hunt said.
"It has undergone very severe population declines in recent decades with numbers having decreased by more than 80 per cent since the mid 1980s."
He said the Commonwealth would work closely with the Victorian Government to save to possum.
Professor David Lindenmayer, who has been researching the animal for more than 30 years, said the main threat to the possum's habitat was logging and fire.
"Fire is really important in this forest, and what we know is that fire and logging go together - logging makes these forests more fire prone and more likely to burn at higher severity and the animal doesn't respond well to fire," he said.
"When its habitat is burnt, the animal seems to be missing from its habitat for a long period of time.
"There's the impact of the 2009 (Black Saturday) fire still in the system, and there probably will be for the next 100 years.
"Plus the logging that takes place after fire which is called salvage logging, the logging before the fire and the logging that's continuing in the green forest, which would otherwise had been habitat for the Leadbeater's possum but is rendered useless for the next 200 years."
Professor Lindenmayer said the population was declining rapidly, which is why the changes had been made to its endangered status.
"The most recent data suggest [there are] between 2,000 and 4,000 left, and although that sounds like a lot, in fact the population is declining very, very quickly," he said.
"It's actually the trajectory of the population that makes the biggest difference.
"The chances of losing the animal in the next 20 years are very high."
He said putting an end to Victoria's eucalyptus logging industry would help conserve the possum's habitat and have a positive effect on the state's economy.
"Logging costs tens of millions of dollars, it's revenue negative for the taxpayer."
Professor Lindenmayer also called for a new national park in the Yarra Ranges, saying it would benefit the wider community.
"That's where the win-win comes from, conserving Leadbeater's possum, removing industrial logging from the forest and then creating a Great Forest National Park which can be a fantastic tourism resource, recreational resource for Melburnians and all Australians."

Tata Nexon EV review - Powerful and spacious city commuter
Cars Tata
Aug 28, 2021 — 3 min read
Tata Nexon EV is one of the most affordable and reliable electric cars in India. Is it worth a buy? Check out.
The Nexon EV is a city car with a good range. The majority of car lovers are enticed by this car due to the comprehensive features offered by this car. You'll enjoy the pleasant cabin and connected car technology, a sunroof, as well as advanced car lights and wipers. The Nexon EV is specifically designed for private users and not for use in commercial markets.
With the Nexon EV, Tata has attempted to distinguish itself from the internal combustion engine (ICE) version both externally and internally. The ingress is higher than the normal version, with the battery pack on the floor of the car. There is a fresh, teal blue tone that fits in with the total size of the car, and blue highlights are provided across the car.
With the new LED DRLs projector headlamps, a redesigned grille, a new bumper and a flatter cap to comply with future pedestrian crash safety standards, style is in-line with the Nexon makeover. The new 16-inch alloy wheels are lighter than before. The tail lamps are updated and the aesthetic changes are made in the bumpers. The blue hubs and other design components across the exterior constitute the aesthetic. The design of this EV is very attractive and much better than the IC engine counterpart.
The interior of Nexon EV is especially designed to provide comfort and luxury to the passengers while being distinct from the ICE version. In the interior, apart from the blue highlights, there are little modifications to the dashboard. The driving system is new, and the cluster is partly digital now, with a coloured display, displaying battery charging information, drive mode, range, etc. A new rotary selector is also available.
Tata Nexon EV Interiors
The available seats and space remain unchanged from that of the ICE Nexon. They are as comfortable as before, with good support and sophisticated padding. With the latest ZConnect eSIM-based connectivity, Tata has provided this EV with 35 remote control functions, location-based features and security related features.
This EV is powered by a permanent electric motor that draws power from the battery pack of 30.2 kWh rating. The motor is able to deliver 129 horsepower and 245 Nm of torque. The ARAI range of this EV is 312 kilometres. For an 80 percent charge using a rapid DC charger, Tata estimates a charge time of 60 minutes and an 8-hour charge using 15A car charger.
The battery pack meets IP67 requirements and has an AIS 48 rating, meaning that this EV can move effortlessly through flooded roads. The powertrain renders excellent performance. For those who move to this EV from normal internal combustion cars, there is a bit of a learning curve. This regeneration function uses the momentum of the car to charge its battery.
The Nexon EV is certainly one of the most reliable and affordable electric cars in the Indian car market. It looks better than ICE. The price for the entry-level version is about 13.99 lakh and the pricing for the top variants for the Nexon EV is near 15.99 lakhs. This means that the base EV costs ₹1.29 lakh more than the most costly diesel-automatic variant of the Nexon. However, you can save a lot on the running costs due to the amazing travel economy of this car.


Your home should again have good internet connection. Have good access to recreational facilities within your homestead. If at all you have all these improved products within your homestead, you will truly leave like the person in paradise.
List down some the product which you again intent to have. That is why you need to conduct research. And for you to succeed with your plans of getting an attractive home, you first need to plan in advance in order to cushion all the cost before you jump start your idea.


[Loekke2012] Loekke, M. Marie, M. Edelenbos, E. Larsen, and A. Feilberg, "Investigation of Volatiles Emitted from Freshly Cut Onions (Allium cepa L.) by Real Time Proton-Transfer Reaction-Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS).", Sensors (Basel), vol. 12, no. 12: Department of Engineering, Aarhus University, Blichers Allé 20, P.O. Box 50, Tjele DK-8830, Denmark. Anders.Feilberg@agrsci.dk., pp. 16060–16076, 2012.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in cut onions (Allium cepa L.) were continuously measured by PTR-MS during the first 120 min after cutting. The headspace composition changed rapidly due to the very reactive volatile sulfurous compounds emitted from onion tissue after cell disruption. Mass spectral signals corresponding to propanethial S-oxide (the lachrymatory factor) and breakdown products of this compound dominated 0-10 min after cutting. Subsequently, propanethiol and dipropyl disulfide predominantly appeared, together with traces of thiosulfinates. The concentrations of these compounds reached a maximum at 60 min after cutting. Propanethiol was present in highest concentrations and had an odor activity value 20 times higher than dipropyl disulfide. Thus, propanethiol is suggested to be the main source of the characteristic onion odor. Monitoring the rapid changes of VOCs in the headspace of cut onion necessitates a high time resolution, and PTR-MS is demonstrated to be a very suitable method for monitoring the headspace of freshly cut onions directly after cutting without extraction or pre-concentration.

Q: jmeter re-login after request takes long time The website allows a user to be idle only for 15 mins, after which he gets logged out. Let's say one of the api calls take more than 15 mins and the user's token expires by then. I need to re-login when such a situation occurs.
I have,
Thread
- HTTP Cookie manager
- Simple Controller[SC](disabled) -> Login to the site
- Simple Contoller
   -Module Controller -> Call [SC] to login user and get token.
   -Loop
      -api 1
      -api 2
      -api 3
      -api 4

If one of the api calls take more than 15 mins, the token expires and the next call would get an authentication failure error. I want to know if it is possible to have a post processor for each api to check if it is more than 15 mins, if so, it should recall [SC] controller to re-login.

A: I would implement it as follows:

*

*Initially setting a JMeter Variable, i.e. authorised with the value of false

*Make your Login Controller a part of the loop.

*Put your Login controller under If Controller and use !${authorised} as the If Controller's "Condition". So Login controller will only be executed if authorised variable is false

*If the login is successful you can change authorised variable value to true using i.e. Beanshell PostProcessor and code like:
if (vars.get("JMeterThread.last_sample_ok").equals("true")) {
    vars.put("authorised", "true");
}

*In order to change authorised variable back to false if API request takes longer than 15 minutes you can use the same Beanshell PostProcessor and the code like:
if (prev.getTime() > 900000) {
    vars.put("authorised", "false");
}

where prev stands for SampleResult class instance which holds the parent sampler result data.

Meet Our New Moreno Ranches 2021 International Intern: Cristian López
Home/Uncategorized/Meet Our New Moreno Ranches 2021 International Intern: Cristian López
At Moreno Ranches, we believe in the future. Part of that future is superior genetics and the constant improvement of the Brahman cattle breed through sophisticated animal husbandry technology. Technology is part of that future, a passion for the Brahman breed is part of that future, and so are our youth. As such, we'd like to introduce one of our new international interns, Cristian López.
Cristian López (Honduras) – 2021 International Intern
On November 7, 1998, Cristian López was born in Guarita, Lempira, Honduras. He is the sixth in a family of eight children. He is currently studying the last semester of his agronomic bachelor´s degree at the Zamorano Pan American Agricultural School in Honduras. His parents own a subsistence livestock farm that provides financial support for the family. Being originally from a rural community it was difficult for Cristian to access secondary and higher education studies, but thanks to his efforts and the support of his parents he was able to go to high school at a government institution focused on agriculture. There he developed an interest and a passion for agronomy and livestock with the objective of improving himself and applied to Zamorano University to achieve that passion. From a very young age, Cristian became involved in the activities of his family's livestock business, and with his father, he developed empirical skills to work with cattle. Later, he reinforced those skills with the technical knowledge he acquired during his secondary and university studies.
Located in a rugged area with adverse weather conditions, his family farm is not very productive and does not generate enough income to provide for university studies for all of his siblings. Only two of them have managed to pursue a bachelor's degree thanks to financial aid obtained on their own merits. Cristian will be the third member of the family to obtain his bachelor's degree thanks to the financial support provided by external entities. Because of this support, Cristian is aware of the trust placed by his sponsors in him and he has strived to excel both academically and disciplinary in order to demonstrate the values and professionalism that are the fundamental pillars of his alma mater. Cristian stands out from other students with his excellent personal skills and is recognized by his professors and colleagues. Once he graduates and is practicing his profession, Cristian would like to help his family financially so that his other siblings could also choose to fulfill their dreams.
When Cristian was at the International Livestock Congress event during the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in 2020, he met the Moreno Ranches team and the Zamorano interns who were there. After listening to their experiences, their activities that were carried out, and the knowledge that they acquired, Cristian wanted to be a part of it and decided to apply to the Moreno Ranches internship program. Cristian has a passion for working in and learning about Brahman cattle management, and he will use this knowledge and his experiences in his professional life.
Now that he is an official intern at Moreno Ranches, Cristian López is excited about the experiences to come and to learn as much as he possibly can, confident that he will perform satisfactorily in the activities assigned to him.
Cristian's Goals:
Learn the training methodology and the steps to follow in order to properly handle show cattle
Learn in detail the practical aspects of obtaining clones and transferring bovine embryos
Innovate the reproductive management practices that are carried out in Moreno Ranches, such as ovulation synchronization, insemination, management of recipients and donors

Archived Group Reads 2016 > Lady Audley's Secret : Chapters 22-28
message 1: by Renee, Moderator (new)
Lady Audley 22-28
I have to say that I love the description of Robert facing the pompous, self-absorbed Pater Talboys. "...as he would have sat with perfect tranquility upon an open gunpowder barrel lighting his cigar, he was not at all disturbed upon this occasion."
Does his family change your view of George & his choices?
-Were you surprised that Robert could so easily give up the quest to which he'd sworn himself?
-What do you think of Clara as she reveals her true personality?
In which Robert spends more time than I'd have expected in a soliloquy on women... and thinking about George's sister, Clara.
For what purpose does Braddon switch Robert's "promise" from one given to the dead friend to one given to the dead friend's living sister?
Does Sir Michael's illness change the flow of the novel? What purposes does it serve? Do you have any new perceptions of the interrelationships?
The game is afoot! :D
We meet several interesting characters as Robert truly delves into the detective work of tracking Lucy's origins. Do you have any thoughts on Mrs. Vincent, Miss Tonks, or the events/revelations of this chapter?
The description of Mrs. Vincent's home is so thoroughly detailed that I have to wonder what experience Braddon might have had of similar circumstances. Does anyone know?
A label on Lucy's discardedtrunk leads Robert to Wildernsea, where George & Helen met and were married. We hear another view of their relationship, as well as what happened to Helen after George left her. It seems Helen attempted to support herself & child by giving music lessons, before leaving her 12 month-old with her father to seek her fortune
The letter, now in Robert's possession, makes recriminations and talks of another secret.
Have any of your views or speculations changed with this information? Do you have any thoughts on the new secret?
Does anyone know the story of the marble legged Prince?
Robert is piecing together the timeline of Lucy/Helen's life, and seems ready to investigate who is buried in Helen's grave when he receives a letter from Alicia. Robert goes to confront Lucy, but we spend most of the chapter with his thoughts. Once again we see Robert is very conscious of effect the truth will likely have on his uncle. We also have a new reason for some of his actions as he wonders why Lucy has not left the scene, in spite of the fact that she must now know he is stirring up her past. (I don't really have a question here.)
However, when he goes to investigate the organist, I was sure it would be Lucy. Instead, we find Clara Talboys in the neighborhood. Do you have any thoughts on her appearance?
Overall, what do you make of Robert's musings on women and their place in his world? Do you think this expresses the views of Mary Braddon or her views on the men of her time?
Do you see any social commentary in the history of Helen/Lucy and the choices she has made or the positions in which she has been placed?
Sorry the above is so long-winded. And more commentary than usual. I fell asleep several times in trying to get through this section. I was enjoying the detective work but just couldn't keep my eyes open. Still, there were some interesting details worth chatting about.
message 3: by Pip (new)
Lots to think about here! I'm going to take some time to review the questions and these chapters, as I finished the book a while ago (guzzling again!) and need to refresh my memory.
In the meantime, I found this about the marble-legged prince in chapter 27. He was the Young King of the Black Isles in one of the Arabian Nights stories. There are many versions online, but this one gives a résumé of the story: http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/lang1...
Thanks, Pip. I'd read many of those stories but not that one. It's funny how so many follow a definite pattern with one small twist like the half-statue thing. I can only read so many at a time and then I glaze over. But I'm glad to know the source.

Renee wrote: "Overall, what do you make of Robert's musings on women and their place in his world? "
My betting is that by the end of the book he'll be married to Clara. Alica doesn't stand a chance.

It's not long winded at all -- nice short summaries. It's Braddon who was long winded. I started skimming pretty ferociously through parts of it.
Why is Lady Audley suddenly, at the start of Chapter 28, so eager to have Robert visit? I would think she would want to keep him as far away from Audley Court as she could.
It it sufficient reason that she wants to know what he's found out? I can't see that. How can having him there in the house to spy on her be a good thing? And if indeed she killed George and left his body somewhere in the grounds wouldn't you think she would keep him away from the ability to search for the body?
Maybe she wants him close enough to join his buddy. Although It would have to be a lot harder to kill off a guy who suspects you already. Unless she gets some help.
I have to agree with you about Clara. Poor Alicia. Sir Harry may still have a chance.
message 9: by Veronique (new)
Renee wrote: "I have to agree with you about Clara..."
Same here. Clara is under his skin, and another pale face! Is that becoming an indication of power/mental resolution? And she looks like George! Now this, and all his other feelings could be interpreted in two distinct ways - close friendship or something more. Since the latter was taboo, the author would have had to express this with allusions and insinuations, sous entendu, but which ones would have given it away to her contemporaries?
What struck me is how Robert keeps misjudging Clara. And Lucy too. Lady A is shown loosing her cool but now I wonder... What if Braddon is leading us in the wrong direction? As for her secret, it is more a case of secretS. I think the one she refers to in the letter to her dad might be regarding Georgey's father not being George.
I think Robert is stalling because he doesn't want to be the instigator of the trouble his uncle would face and because he is a little of a coward too. By seeing George's dad (brilliant description of this character), he finds a way to wash his hand of the affair with a clear conscience. Fate however has another idea :0)

Really excellent points, Veronique! The characterization of George's father really was a corker. And I had similar thoughts about Clara being so much like her brother. If they do get together, it does bring a closure to the loss of the one relationship which seems to go deep past Robert's insouciance. Whether there's anything coded or not. Which would be pretty daring, but then Oscar Wilde did that all the time.

:0) I did smile at the compasion made between the house and Talboys senior.
Daring yes but I would expect the 'educated' public would have known that this existed. I mean wasn't homosexuality accepted in Classic times (men that is, not women) and this would have been seen while studying the various Latin and Greek texts. Robert and George did meet at Eaton after all... Now that I think about it, Robert has quite a few so-called 'feminine' traits (novel reading, preferring lazing around than exerting himself, dislike to act), and Clara 'masculine' ones. This might also explain Robert's phylosophical musings on women. As for shocking, I find the fact that men, George and Sir Michael, are so attracted to a woman who looks like a child much more disturbing.
Hahaha! Yeah, that has bugged me the whole time! Seriously!

Yes, after knowing more about George's father, it became clearer why George acted like he did. He was used to escaping from his family and used to not being connected to them.
Robert seemed to tire out from investigating and wanted to abandone the research. Clara revived his energy.
She seemed sincere to start with, but when she said she was going to Essex, it seemed like a strange coincidence! Did she know something? Was she hiding something? Was she involved already?!!
Robert thought to himself in the restaurant that women like her would "wrench him out of himself"!
I was also thinking that there should be a purpose with visiting ill Sir Michael but it was not very clear. A chance to communicate with the doctor and proceed to search for Mrs Vincent?
I am still not sure of who did what. Anything is possible. Maybe Braddon is indeed trying to lead us in the wrong direction.
I like to imagine myself reading each chapter as if I had bought one of the magazines of those days when the story was published. It's like watching a TV series, each episode ends in a certain way and you have to wait one week to find out what happens next.

Clara going to Essex seems like a strange coincidence indeed. I don't trust her at all, but don't know why and in what way she could be involved.

Reading the above comments drives home to me the theme of appearance and reality that seems to be developing in the novel. The Talboy's estate and George's father have much in common, Clara looks like her brother and then we have the letter Robert discovers from George that has "a description in which every feature [of his wife] was minutely catalogued, every grace form or beauty of expression fondly dwelt upon, every charm of manner lovingly depicted." Earlier in the novel George and Robert managed to look at a portrait of Lady Audley where they saw in her portrait "the aspect of a beautiful fiend."
When Robert is able to put the pieces of the puzzle of George's disappearance together the reader will be able to see how Braddon has masterfully created not only many appearances of characters but also revealed the realities behind them as well.
Heheh. So looking forward to that!

I too found this section to be rather longwinded. At the start of the book I really enjoyed the description of the house and grounds, but now I think descriptions are starting to just add to the word count. And while linking nature in surroundings to nature in a person can be a nice touch, I think Braddon is a bit heavy handed. When Robert goes to see George's father I would have noticed the similarities between the weather, the house, and the occupant without the author explicitly stating it multiple times.
Clara's real nature didn't surprise me at all. Robert is occasionally astute, other times really dim. Of course Clara needs to hide all emotion when she is in the same room as a father like that! As for her showing up in Audley, yes that is way too much of a coincidence, but I don't think it is suspicious. I think it's just a handy plot device to force Robert's hand and make him feel like he is being driven "by a force greater than himself".
I quite agree with Veronique as to what Helen's initial secret is. I think she must have been already pregnant when she met George. That would explain why her father was so eager to foist her off on the highest bidder. Helen's father has been unfairly maligned, I think.
I also agree with Everyman that poor Alicia doesn't stand a chance against Clara. If Robert ends up with a woman here, Clara is the one.
I find Robert's musings on women sometimes hilarious, other times preposterous. It is clear that he resents having his leisurely life disturbed by 1) lying, deceiving, murderous women who hurt his family and friends (Helen/Lucy), 2) women who try to get him to marry them (Alicia), and 3) women who call upon his sense of duty and honour, and various other emotions, to make him exert himself and make tough decisions (Clara). And so he singles out actions and character traits and generalises widely in order to make himself feel better. I'd hate to see Robert with a cold. I bet he suffers terribly from man-flu.
The musings surrounding the making of tea was perhaps my favourite part. I know the British are fond of their tea, but I have never thought of it as a tea ceremony akin to the Chinese. These days it's all utterly bland tea bags. I actually laughed out loud when it occurred to me that Robert would blame women's lib for the UK having fallen into the bleak pit of "builder's tea".
Excellent post, Leni! I love your analysis of Robert's musings on women. And on the state of tea in the modern world. It's morning here and I'll go grinning into my day. :D

Oddly enough, I really enjoyed the whole description of Mr Talboys and his surroundings. I think perhaps it stands out in this novel because she doesn't describe everything else in such detail - except, as you say, Audley Court at the very beginning. If these passages were entrenched in a Dickens novel, I doubt anyone would have batted an eyelid ;-) In fact, the continuing references to Junius Brutus (more info here if anyone needs it: http://www.roman-empire.net/articles/...) are quite Dickensian. They almost felt as if Braddon was trying her hand at a little pastiche mid-novel!
""I hate women," he thought, savagely. "They're bold, brazen, abominable creatures, invented for the annoyance and destruction of their superiors. Look at this business of poor George's! It's all woman's work from one end to the other. He marries a woman, and his father casts him off penniless and professionless. He hears of the woman's death and he breaks his heart—his good honest, manly heart, worth a million of the treacherous lumps of self-interest and mercenary calculation which beats in women's breasts.
.... it seems so deuced lonely to-night. If poor George were sitting opposite to me, or—or even George's sister—she's very like him—existence might be a little more endurable. "
I'm still convinced Robert has guy-ward leanings. He probably wouldn't recognise it, but for me Braddon does and that is why she puts such venomous (towards women) and melancholy (towards George) thoughts into his mind. This is a looooong passage, and Robert doesn't do an awful lot of self-analysis - so I believe it's there for a very specific purpose. I know I could well be reading too much into it but if I'm right, well, I think it's rather lovely :-) Though not the misogynistic bit.

Aww, Robert's in love. His venomous thoughts toward womankind ending with wishing George's sister was sitting opposite him spell love to me. Besides, Alicia will be a much better fit with Sir Harry Towers than she ever would have been with her cousin. They can ride off into the sunset on their horses.
I keep mulling over how Lucy could possibly have killed George, but can only come up with maybe a scuffle (thus the bruises on Lucy's arm) and she pushed him down the well. The one mentioned as stagnant and hidden in a shrubbery behind the garden. The fish pond wouldn't have been deep enough and the body would have eventually been seen.
Any other death would involve a body to hide and she could not possibly have disposed of it in time and by herself. And how could she have killed him anyway except by accident. She was too small and weak to inflict real harm deliberately.
I agree that Alicia and Harry may have potential. As for the well idea... I've been looking at images of wells via Google. Some are the hefty, blocky, wishing well types that intend to think of, but others are rather skimpy. Thin-walled or lacking in height. That would help with leverage.
Of course, she may have bashed him with a rock or stabbed him with one of those wicked-looking hairpins. Then pitched him over as he staggered by the edge.
And he would likely have underestimated her, making any action on her part a surprise to him. Perhaps he would have expected shock, tears, explanations, cringing from his little golden doll. Not a frontal attack.
Obviously, I'm warming to the idea. :D
Some wells are little more than a wooden covering over a deep hole. I guess that would keep the smell in when the body started to decompose? It's not really described in detail in the book, is it? Just "overgrown". Lucy might have laid a trap for George. She was up to something the night before, while Phoebe pretended to be Lady Audley terrified of the storm. Maybe she arranged it so that George simply fell in. Though I guess she couldn't count on the fall killing him... Hm.

The well stood out to me too as possible burial location.

There has to be a reason that Braddon places such emphasis on the well and its isolated location.
The marble legged prince is in "The history of the Young King of the Black Isles" in The Arabian Nights. (Robert compares George being seduced by Lucy in the same way.)
Victorians!

PFS gets `145 crore from resolution of stressed account
New Delhi: PTC India Financial Services (PFS) has received Rs 145 crore as part of resolution of its stressed loan account in the thermal power segment.
The long-term infrastructure financing company said it has recovered Rs 145 crore from Prayagraj Power Generation Company Ltd (PPGCL).
PPGCL owns and operates a 1,980 MW (3X660 MW) coal-based thermal power project in Uttar Pradesh and had become a non-performing asset due to financial and operational stresses.
PFS is also expected to receive Rs 7 crore as per agreement, PFS said in a statement on Sunday.
This development shall augment the liquidity position of PFS and also result in a reduction of its stressed assets portfolio.
"Going forward, it shall also have a positive bearing on the yields and spread of PFS as this account was reflected in the assets but not yielding any income," it said.
The resolution was achieved under the open bidding process initiated by the consortium lenders led by State Bank of India, wherein a one-time settlement (OTS) offer submitted by Resurgent Power Ventures Pte Limited emerged as the highest bidder.
PFS said this resolution is one of the many stressed assets that the company has resolved successfully in the recent past.
The non-banking financial company for the power sector has already resolved stressed assets exposure of almost Rs 1,000 crore and is in the process of resolving balance stressed assets in the near future which is expected to improve its financials going forward.

Stresshormoner är de hormoner som utsöndras vid stress, i synnerhet de som aktiverar det sympatiska nervsystemet. Stresshormoner verkar alltid i kroppen, men vid möte med en stressor ökar utsöndringen och aktiviteten i hormonreceptorerna.

Hormoner som ingår i stressaxeln, adrenalin, noradrenalin och kortisol, ökar andning och puls och ökar genomströmningen av blod i musklerna. Ämnesomsättningshormon (HPT-axeln) kan också möjligen betraktas som stresshormon, eftersom också detta ökar vid stress, vilket leder till förändringar i socker-, fett- och proteinomsättning. Vidare kan ses förändringar i könshormonerna (HPG-axeln) vid stress.

The Denver Nuggets return home to Pepsi Center tonight as they welcome the Brooklyn Nets for their only visit of the season. The Nets come to town with a 5-6 record, having won their last two games against Phoenix and Philadelphia.
The Nuggets are looking to bounce back after losing just their second game of the season, a two-point loss to Memphis, on Wednesday. The Nuggets still sit in second place in the Western Conference despite the loss, with just a single game between them and the first-place Golden State Warriors.
Getting Nikola Jokić going: Denver's big man hasn't scored more than eight points in his last four games but he faces an opponent that he had tremendous success against in 2017-18. During Brooklyn's last visit to the Mile High City, Jokić erupted for a career-high 41. Jokić attempted just one shot against Memphis, going 0-for-1 from the field and scoring just four points.
Getting shots to fall: The Nuggets struggled to hit shots against Memphis, with the starting backcourt of Jamal Murray and Gary Harris combining to shoot just 12-37 from the field. Murray and Harris have shot their best at home, with Murray shooting 49% at home, compared to 38% on the road. Harris has also had more success shooting at home as he has shot 51.7% at Pepsi Center compared to just 39.7% on the road.
Keeping the Nets from shooting threes: The Nets get 35.4% of their points from beyond the arc, the fourth highest percentage in the league. They're led in shooting by Joe Harris who is connecting on 54.5% while attempting 5.1 threes per game. Shabazz Napier and Spencer Dinwiddie each shoot over 43% from deep, as well.
Tonight's game will tip at 7 pm and will be on Altitude TV as well as the AltitudeNOW app. Fans can also listen on Altitude Radio, 92.5 FM.

Hundreds Protest Ilhan Omar Speech to CAIR-Los Angeles
24th March 2019	Featured, Feminism, Government, Israel, Police, Religion, Technology, United States Leave a comment 6 Views
Hundreds of protesters gathered across the street from the Hilton hotel in Woodland Hills, California — and some unfurled banners from hotel balconies — to oppose Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who addressed a fundraiser for the local branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
CAIR claims to speak for American Muslims, but is an extremist group.
As Breitbart news has noted:
In 2007-8, CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror financing trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. That case, in turn, led the FBI to discontinue its work with the organization. In 2009, a federal judge ruled that the government "produced ample evidence to establish" the ties of CAIR with Hamas, the Palestinian terror organization. The United Arab Emirates labeled CAIR a terrorist organization in 2014 (a decision that the Obama administration opposed).
The political action committee of CAIR in California donated the maximum of $5,000 to Omar's 2018 campaign.
In 2015, CAIR's Los Angeles director suggested that the U.S. was partly to blame for the San Bernardino terror attack, in which 14 people were killed, due to American foreign policy. CAIR also offered legal assistance to the family of the terrorists who carried out the attack.
Omar spoke at the fundraiser after several weeks of controversy over her use of antisemitic rhetoric to attack Israel and American supporters of Israel. She was appointed by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, despite having claimed that Israel had "hypnotized the world," among other antisemitic statements. In February, she claimed, falsely, that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) bribed members of Congress to support Israel. She was forced to apologize, but then claimed Americans who support Israel owe "allegiance to a foreign country," and refused to apologize. House Democrats passed a weak resolution that condemned all forms of hatred, without mentioning her name or singling out antisemitism.
The protesters at Saturday's event waved American and Israeli flags. At one stage, banners, placed by activist Laura Loomer, were unfurled from two balconies, reading "Ilhan Hates Israel" and "CAIR Hates Jews."

Though some journalists who had tried to gain access to the event itself complained that they had not been allowed in, video emerged Saturday night of part of Omar's remarks, in which she claimed the protesters were prejudiced against Islam and Muslims:
.@IlhanMN to the CAIR audience: "There are very fascinating people outside who for so many years have spoken about an Islam that is oppressive, that lessens and isolates women. And today they gather outside to protest a Muslim woman who is in Congress" pic.twitter.com/QfZ7TonFmI
That theme was repeated by supporters of CAIR and Omar:
Today, I was upset as to what I saw. My friends and I saw people protesting @IlhanMN and shouting "terrorists go home." It's disheartening people still don't accept one another. Trump supporters started to surround us a little after. As a Muslim, I felt unsafe in my own community pic.twitter.com/PEd5ATorLs
— ree ✨ (@rosy_ree) March 24, 2019
But some Muslims — including some Somali leaders in the 5th congressional district of Minnesota, which Omar represents — have condemned her rhetoric and say it does not represent them.

Old World Wonder – Landscape Plus Ltd.
The homeowners had worked very hard to seamlessly blend their new build home into an older Toronto neighbourhood. Our challenge was to uphold this continuity using a timeless design and heritage materials.
The front yard saw the addition of a low stone wall, a flagstone walk, driveway borders and a herringbone brick inlay. Dramatic curves on the garden beds set off a mix of rhododendrons, hydrangeas, shrub roses and mixed perennials. Landscape lighting accents the stonework and house gables in the evenings.
In the backyard, old reclaimed stone and brick adorns the garden shed and the two walls bordering the swimming pool. A vintage water feature, an outdoor shower, and windows reclaimed from the home also decorate these walls. To filter views beyond and soften the overall appearance, rooftop gardens were added to the rear and side walls surrounding the pool. The evening dining area is beneath an old barn board arbor adjacent to the kitchen. The herringbone brick treatment used in the front yard was brought to the back for continuity. Flowering dogwood, hosta, astilbe, yews and pyramid cedar inhabit the curvy beds. In the evenings this yard lights like a dream.
