Welcome back to the Sunday Mass notes for Palm Sunday. This week we open the reading with the procession of the palms. Then we move to the first reading that gives us a glimpse of the Suffering Servant, the Messiah. The second reading shows the humility of Jesus, who came to fulfill the Old Testament prophecy of the Messiah having to suffer. Finally, we conclude with the Gospel account of Jesus' passion, our Messiah, Who paid the penalty for our sin.
Luke 19:28-40 NAS95 28 After He had said these things, He was going on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 When He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount that is called Olivet, He sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, "Go into the village ahead of you; there, as you enter, you will find a colt tied on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here. 31 "If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' you shall say, 'The Lord has need of it.'" 32 So those who were sent went away and found it just as He had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?" 34 They said, "The Lord has need of it." 35 They brought it to Jesus, and they threw their coats on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As He was going, they were spreading their coats on the road. 37 As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen, 38 shouting: "BLESSED IS THE KING WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" 39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples." 40 But Jesus answered, "I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!"
The time around Passover was a season of messianic expectancy, and there were many pilgrims in the city for the celebration. One of the issues that was fresh in the mind of the people was Jesus' raising of Lazarus from the dead just shortly before this last Passover (John 11:1-45). This would have played into His sudden popularity and for the people's desire to see Him. In messianic form, Jesus directed His disciples with exact precision, and when they followed His orders, everything worked out exactly as Jesus had said. Jesus asserted His authority over Jerusalem by riding into the city on a colt (v. 30, Mark 11:4), not a mighty stallion as would have been done by kings. This was in fulfillment of a prophecy from Zechariah (Zechariah 9:9). Evidently, according to Saint Matthew's narrative, Jesus rode on the colt and the donkey (it's mother) walked alongside.
The procession of the palms dealt with Jesus' first coming. As we look forward to the celebration of Jesus' resurrection on Easter Sunday, let's look briefly at Jesus' second coming. The Book of Revelation revealed some of the details about Jesus' physical return to the earth at the end of the Great Tribulation period. Jesus entered Jerusalem during His First Advent on a donkey. Read what the Scripture says about how He will return the second time.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. 13 He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. 15 From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. 16 And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:11-16).
Jesus came the first time as a humble, unblemished Lamb (Revelation 13:8). However, Jesus will return the second time as the glorious Lion of the Tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5). He will return as the Almighty Warrior on a white horse, not a donkey as happened the first time. At His First Coming, many people missed His appearance. According to John, at His Second Coming He will not be missed. John said, "BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen" (Rev 1:7). When the "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" (v.16b) returns, He will come in judgment to a people living "as in the days of Noah" (Matthew 24:37) expecting things to continue as they always have in the past. Since God has given us this warning, we must ask ourselves "How now shall we live?" While ignorance seems to be bliss, it does not lead to eternal life.
This Sunday as we celebrate Jesus' triumphal entrance in Jerusalem at His First Advent, we can celebrate that we are among those that did, in a sense, welcome Jesus to Jerusalem as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We can celebrate that we are not among those who missed His first coming. As we hold our palms, we can proudly celebrate our belief that King Jesus will one day return to the earth he created. In our waving of the palms, we can lift them up as white flags of surrender to the King who deserves our whole lives.
The first reading after the procession of the palms is from Isaiah 50. The context is just after Isaiah told about how God had disciplined the northern tribes of Israel (Isaiah 50:1-3). We see that God judged Israel's sinfulness, but then also provided a way for salvation in this prediction of the Messiah. The picture painted in the verses leading up to today's reading is one of temporarily setting aside this group of God's chosen people until they come to believe in God's sending of the Messiah. The prophecy shifts to the personalization of the Messiah's suffering, which we will also be reading about in greater detail during the Gospel narrative covering the Passion of Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 50:4-7 NAS95 4 The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of disciples, That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple. 5 The Lord GOD has opened My ear; And I was not disobedient Nor did I turn back. 6 I gave My back to those who strike Me, And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard; I did not cover My face from humiliation and spitting. 7 For the Lord GOD helps Me, Therefore, I am not disgraced; Therefore, I have set My face like flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.
In this reading, the Prophet Isaiah speaks of himself as a "type" of Christ. Christ the Messiah has been given the Word of God, something that "sustains a weary one with a word" (v. 4). The Messiah is obedient (v. 5), even giving His back to those who strike Him and His "cheeks to those who pluck out [His] beard" (v. 6). God darkened the skies during the spiritually dark event of Jesus' suffering, and Jesus "set [His] face like flint" and wasn't ashamed (v. 7) to fulfil God's will in giving His life for us. Later in the Gospel lesson, we will read about the fulfillment of the suffering of God's servant (Is. 50:6 "scourged" and "spat upon") in great detail.
The predicted suffering from Isaiah is also the backdrop for the second reading, which was probably sung as a hymn in the early Church about the great lengths that Jesus went to in order to fulfill the Father's plan for our salvation.
Philippians 2:6-11 NAS95 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
This passage continues the sharp contrast that the Bible portrays between Jesus' first Advent and His second coming. The first advent He came as a humble servant. In this act of the incarnation and His death, He not only served His Father, but he served us. Humankind was in desperate need of a Savior, owing a sin debt beyond the ability to repay. So He became the suffering Servant "for the joy set before Him" (Hebrews 12:2), paying our debt on the cross. By being obedient to the Father, He will come again in exaltation and power (as we saw in Revelation earlier). The second coming will be very different from the first Advent. In addition to every eye seeing his second coming, this passage informs us that every knee will bow, voluntarily or involuntarily. The choice is ours to make. We can voluntarily bow our knee to the Messiah now, or we can harden our hearts against Him, only to involuntarily bow when He returns.
The Gospel Reading is Luke's account of the passion, which includes the betrayal, arrest, trial, torture, humiliation, crucifixion and burial of Jesus.
Luke 22:14 - 23:56 NAS95 14 When the hour had come, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him. 15 And He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." 17 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves; 18 for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes." 19 And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 20 And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. 21 "But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with Mine on the table. 22 "For indeed, the Son of Man is going as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!" 23 And they began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who was going to do this thing. 24 And there arose also a dispute among them as to which one of them was regarded to be greatest. 25 And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who have authority over them are called 'Benefactors.' 26 "But it is not this way with you, but the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant. 27 "For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves. 28 "You are those who have stood by Me in My trials; 29 and just as My Father has granted Me a kingdom, I grant you 30 that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 31 "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; 32 but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers." 33 But he said to Him, "Lord, with You I am ready to go both to prison and to death!" 34 And He said, "I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me." 35 And He said to them, "When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?" They said, "No, nothing." 36 And He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one. 37 "For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, 'AND HE WAS NUMBERED WITH TRANSGRESSORS'; for that which refers to Me has its fulfillment." 38 They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." And He said to them, "It is enough." 39 And He came out and proceeded as was His custom to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him. 40 When He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation." 41 And He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and began to pray, 42 saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done." 43 Now an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. 44 And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground. 45 When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow, 46 and said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not enter into temptation." 47 While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him. 48 But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?" 49 When those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?" 50 And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus answered and said, "Stop! No more of this." And He touched his ear and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a robber? 53 "While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power of darkness are yours." 54 Having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance. 55 After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them. 56 And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, "This man was with Him too." 57 But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him." 58 A little later, another saw him and said, "You are one of them too!" But Peter said, "Man, I am not!" 59 After about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, saying, "Certainly this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean too." 60 But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61 The Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, "Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times." 62 And he went out and wept bitterly. 63 Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking Him and beating Him, 64 and they blindfolded Him and were asking Him, saying, "Prophesy, who is the one who hit You?" 65 And they were saying many other things against Him, blaspheming. 66 When it was day, the Council of elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away to their council chamber, saying, 67 "If You are the Christ, tell us." But He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe; 68 and if I ask a question, you will not answer. 69 "But from now on THE SON OF MAN WILL BE SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND of the power OF GOD." 70 And they all said, "Are You the Son of God, then?" And He said to them, "Yes, I am." 71 Then they said, "What further need do we have of testimony? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth." 1 Then the whole body of them got up and brought Him before Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ, a King." 3 So Pilate asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him and said, "It is as you say." 4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no guilt in this man." 5 But they kept on insisting, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching all over Judea, starting from Galilee even as far as this place." 6 When Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. 7 And when he learned that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself also was in Jerusalem at that time. 8 Now Herod was very glad when he saw Jesus; for he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some sign performed by Him. 9 And he questioned Him at some length; but He answered him nothing. 10 And the chief priests and the scribes were standing there, accusing Him vehemently. 11 And Herod with his soldiers, after treating Him with contempt and mocking Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous robe and sent Him back to Pilate. 12 Now Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day; for before they had been enemies with each other. 13 Pilate summoned the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14 and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one who incites the people to rebellion, and behold, having examined Him before you, I have found no guilt in this man regarding the charges which you make against Him. 15 "No, nor has Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing deserving death has been done by Him. 16 "Therefore I will punish Him and release Him." 17 Now he was obliged to release to them at the feast one prisoner. 18 But they cried out all together, saying, "Away with this man, and release for us Barabbas!" 19 (He was one who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection made in the city, and for murder.) 20 Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again, 21 but they kept on calling out, saying, "Crucify, crucify Him!" 22 And he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has this man done? I have found in Him no guilt demanding death; therefore I will punish Him and release Him." 23 But they were insistent, with loud voices asking that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail. 24 And Pilate pronounced sentence that their demand be granted. 25 And he released the man they were asking for who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, but he delivered Jesus to their will. 26 When they led Him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, coming in from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus. 27 And following Him was a large crowd of the people, and of women who were mourning and lamenting Him. 28 But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 "For behold, the days are coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.' 30 "Then they will begin TO SAY TO THE MOUNTAINS, 'FALL ON US,' AND TO THE HILLS, 'COVER US.' 31 "For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?" 32 Two others also, who were criminals, were being led away to be put to death with Him. 33 When they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. 34 But Jesus was saying, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves. 35 And the people stood by, looking on. And even the rulers were sneering at Him, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, His Chosen One." 36 The soldiers also mocked Him, coming up to Him, offering Him sour wine, 37 and saying, "If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!" 38 Now there was also an inscription above Him, "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS." 39 One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, "Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!" 40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 "And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong." 42 And he was saying, "Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!" 43 And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." 44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour, 45 because the sun was obscured; and the veil of the temple was torn in two. 46 And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT." Having said this, He breathed His last. 47 Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began praising God, saying, "Certainly this man was innocent." 48 And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, began to return, beating their breasts. 49 And all His acquaintances and the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things. 50 And a man named Joseph, who was a member of the Council, a good and righteous man 51 (he had not consented to their plan and action), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God; 52 this man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain. 54 It was the preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin. 55 Now the women who had come with Him out of Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how His body was laid. 56 Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
We read this account of Jesus' crucifixion ever year but sometimes the meaning of it can get lost in the routine. It is important for us to understand the implications of the death of Christ in our own lives. Jesus endured a horrible death for one important reason: to bring sinful human beings back into right relationship with the Father. Saint Paul said, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23) and "For the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23a). Jesus paid the penalty required by the Father for our sin. Saint John said, "and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world" (1 John 2:2). Propitiation is a word that means, "The offering which appeases the wrath of one against whom an offence has been committed" (American Tract Society Dictionary). The appeasement of the Father's wrath through Jesus' death on the cross is God's invitation to you to be in right relationship with Him. While it is a free gift (meaning you don't have to earn it), you do have to unwrap the gift. This means that you have to receive the gift through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. John said, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God" (John 1:12-13).
If you have not received Jesus into your life, you can do that by speaking to Him in prayer. There are not any magic words, just tell God about your belief that Jesus died for your sins. Ask Him to empower you to accomplish His work in your life through the Holy Spirit living in you. If you prayed this prayer, you are entering into a relationship with God the Father through Jesus. As with any relationship, there are certain sensitivities that we extend to the other person. When you find out what the other person values and loves then you cooperate with their plan especially when you know that they have your best interests in mind. That is how it is with God in our relationship with Him. You study the Bible to get to know who He is. You go to church to find more about His heart. You give up destructive habits that lead you away from God. Another important part of relating to God is learning to walk in step with His Spirit. Every believer has been given the gift of the Holy Spirit Who lives inside of us. To walk in step with the Spirit is to cooperate with God daily, all these things are how we grow in our relationship with God.
What is one thing from these readings that helps you to trust in how Jesus is working in your life?
How have you personalized the story of Jesus' crucifixion?

La Telegonía (Τηλεγόνεια) es un poema perdido del ciclo troyano. Ha sido atribuido a Eugamón de Cirene y datado en el siglo VI a. C. Se cree que una de las fuentes principales con las que se compuso este poema es una obra anterior, también perdida, titulada Tesprócida. El argumento de la obra es conocido gracias al resumen que sobre ella realizó un tal Proclo en su Crestomatía. También Apolodoro aportó un resumen que podría estar inspirado en esta obra perdida.

Argumento

La obra narraba lo sucedido después de la muerte de los pretendientes de Penélope. Odiseo realizó un viaje a Élide. Posteriormente celebró los sacrificios que Tiresias había indicado en el canto XI de la Odisea. Tras ello, partió en otro viaje a Tesprocia, donde se casó con la reina Calídice (Καλλιδίκη). Allí Odiseo participó en una guerra entre los tesprotos y los brigos, en la que también intervinieron varios dioses olímpicos.

Tras la muerte de Calídice, Polipetes, hijo de Odiseo, heredó el reino, y Odiseo regresó a Ítaca. Telégono, el hijo que Odiseo había tenido con Circe o con Calipso, viajó a Ítaca en busca de su padre y saqueó la isla. Odiseo luchó contra él y murió. Telégono se dio cuenta del error que había cometido y condujo el cuerpo de su padre, junto con Telémaco y Penélope, a presencia de su madre. Finalmente, Telégono se casó con Penélope; y Telémaco, con Circe.

How to Update a GalCiv III Custom Race?
Howdy! So as I posted (in the wrong forum... lurked forever on the GalCiv II forums decided to actually post on the III forums...) I made this race- http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=476000827.
First, if you have an suggestions on it please tell me. However, I changed alot of things around and made what I think is much superior- better, more "in universe" traits, Altarian instead of Krynn ship design, among other things. I would really like to update my race on the workshop as I want to show off the best I can do. So anyways, as my title says, how do you update a GalCiv III race on the Workshop?
Once you have made your changes just up-load to the workshop again. It will upload as an up-date and not a new faction.
ah gotcha. Thanks man! Thought that would just upload multiple copies .

Motorcyclist attacks traffic sergeant in Rajshahi
How gaps in probes stall Dhaka's fight against black money
Published at 06:07 pm November 15th, 2020
File Photo: People are seen walking past in front of the National Board of Revenue in the capital Dhaka Tribune
Sources in the NBR said that of the 80 cases, probes into 50 of them are on
Bangladesh's National Board of Revenue (NBR) seems to have all the elements in place, except the investigation.
In five years since 2015, when the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Directorate (CIID) was asked to operate the Money Laundering Prevention Act, it has filed as many as 82 such cases but is yet to make any concrete breakthrough in them.
CIID's failure to link the cases against anyone successfully in a court has been attributed to setbacks at the investigation stage itself "due to discrepancy in accounting processes" by none other than NBR Chairman Abu Hena Md Rahmatul Muneem.
The NBR boss flagged the issue at a recent meeting on 'Money Laundering and Terrorism Prevention' , sources in the bureau told UNB. "For this, he had emphasised on collecting actual facts, figures and sheets before filing of a case and a chargesheet in the same."

The sources in the NBR said that of the 80 cases, probes into 50 of them are on. "But the revenue collection authority has managed to submit chargesheets in three cases only. CIID has sought permission from NBR to file charges in seven more cases."
Bangladesh's Anti-Corruption Commission, Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and CIID are jointly investigating one case. Besides, CID is investigating 21 cases, which have been lodged for frauds, according to the sources.
After completing investigation, the CIID, the sources said, has already filed reports in 10 cases to NBR for getting an approval for further action. Currently, there are some 15 cases of money laundering at the investigation level.
The CIID is scrutinising two new money laundering allegations. A senior CIID official said that there should be some structural reforms in money laundering cases for "flawless probes".
Also Read - Explainer: Black money — what, why and how
He has recommended the formation of a new unit to NBR to deal with the money laundering cases. "Some special facilities, including prosecution, need to be included in that unit."
The government through the Money Laundering Prevention Act gave some organisations like the Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate such issues. The Act was approved by the Cabinet on August 17, 2015, through an ordinance.
In its report in March, the Global Financial Integrity (GFI) claimed that Bangladesh lost Tk 63,924 crore (USD 7.53 billion) a year between 2008 and 2017 to trade misinvoicing.
As per the Swiss National Bank's annual report for 2019, deposit of money by Bangladeshi individuals and enterprises went down by 2.38% to 603 million Swiss Franc (CHF) in 2019, which was 617 million in 2018.

Readers share their views on the health threat from algae blooms, Rep. Brian Mast's support for a border wall, and the liberal threat to America.
On Feb. 19, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers held an open meeting in Stuart to inform the public of the good work done with regard to Lake Okeechobee, Florida water supply and flood control, including dike safety and maintenance.
Many residents of the Treasure Coast took the floor to express their concerns about adverse health effects of periodic blooms of algae following release of polluted excess water from Lake O. Local residents have reported nausea and various illnesses and rashes just from breathing the gases emitted from these algae blooms, let alone drinking, swimming in, or eating fish from, these polluted waters.
The World Health Organization has documented the many dangerous effects resulting from exposure to even low doses of Cyanobacteria neurotoxins, illnesses such as fevers, gastrointestinal upset and allergic skin rashes. But that is not all.
Worse still, exposure to the cyanobacteria neurotoxin "BMAA" in such algae blooms has been implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also known as "Lou Gehrig's disease," usually fatal), Parkinson's disease (tremor, lack of motor control, loss of mental acuity), and Alzheimer's disease (memory loss, confusion, and worsening conditions ending in total dementia).
Citizens' health concerns were not misplaced. All the health risks are of paramount concern, in addition to the long-standing issues of water supply and flood control. We all know that ultimately the solution is to treat and send the water south to the Everglades, and efforts are underway to fund this and do it.
But meanwhile, we all have to do everything we can to ensure the safety and purity of Florida's waters.
Anthony Piel, of Stuart, is the former legal counsel of the World Health Organization.
I recently wrote to my representative, Brian Mast, regarding the fact that I don't often agree with conservative columnist Marc Thiessen. However, I did agree with the fundamental choice he outlined in his Feb. 24 column.
Thiessen stated the fact that President Trump and Republicans had ample chance, over the last two years, to vote for and appropriate money for Trump's ineffective wall. Thiessen points out that Trump, the great negotiator, has blown up every deal offered to him for his campaign-promised wall.
When Trump couldn't get the billions he wanted for a wall, he declared a fake national emergency to circumvent Congress' constitutional responsibility and power to appropriate funds, as it sees fit.
I also urged Mast to choose fidelity to the Constitution.
We now know that Rep. Mast voted to support Trump's declaration of a "fake" national emergency and to allow Trump to go around Congress to gain and misspend our hard-earned taxpayer dollars to pay for this wall.
Mexico is not paying for the wall, as Trump promised, American taxpayers are. We now know Mast chose fidelity to Trump over fidelity to the Constitution. Mast will want to divert our attention to the shiny objects he sponsors: Florida waters, veteran rights, etc. While these are notable causes, we should not forget — and we should remind Mast — he did not live up to his oath and his fidelity to the Constitution in this matter.
We will watch him and hold him to his oath.
America needs a serious wake-up call — and soon!
Consider: College students across the country claim to need, and are given, "safe spaces" where they can go to avoid being "assaulted" by fellow students with opposing opinions. Conservative speakers are routinely shouted down and driven off campuses.
The liberal philosophy of inclusion is a monumental myth.
Demographic research published in "Plos One" in September 2018 estimated that from 15 to 20 million illegal immigrants live in America, far higher than the usual estimates based on surveys. They constitute a tremendous drain on our resources, including education, and sometimes even Social Security. In addition, they take thousands of jobs from American citizens.
Yet many Americans have no problem with this, and even push for open borders. You simply cannot have a viable, sustainable country without borders. The concept is at best absurd and at worst disastrous. It boggles the mind how any informed individual could hold such beliefs.
Then there's the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez phenomenon. A congresswoman from New York, she believes that everyone in America is entitled to free health care, a free college education and a guaranteed income, whether you are willing or unwilling to work. She also wants to eliminate all fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal, etc.) within 12 years and phase out the farming of cattle because they create gas that contributes to global warming. And she's serious!
The cost of these proposals would be so extreme as to be impossibly prohibitive, and amounts to total nonsense.
Americans must wake up and start getting involved regarding these outrageous ideas and proposals. Some of today's politicians have absolutely no idea what the founding fathers intended when they created this marvelous experiment called America. And if Americans today don't become and remain vigilant, we could lose it all.

Earlier this week, Jag Forms headed to their first event with the Portland Business Alliance. The event on Wednesday was part of the Alliance's Breakfast Forum series. The topic? Family businesses.
When my dad, Jeff, started Jag Forms in 1986, it was with the idea that he wanted to become a small business owner and work for himself. He never imagined Jag becoming a family business. But when I joined the company in April, that's exactly what happened. So it was a fitting topic for our first foray into the Portland Business Alliance.
Think about it. If you treat your employees like you treat your family, you wouldn't have any employees.
And while all three companies focus on very different industries — the speakers all had one thing in common: they love what they do.
And that's really the key to a successful family business. It only works if you're passionate about it. Because this isn't just a job. This is your family.
That's the drive behind our passion at Jag Forms. This isn't just our business — this is our family. So you can expect a better level of service from us because we are that much more invested in what we do.

The Stories and Secrets of Morocco's Rugs
Carpets cover the floor and hang like tapestries from the walls in Ismail's carpet shop in Marrakech's Souk de Tapis. There are no price tags and the haggling comes later, over ceremonial mint tea with his father. First it is time for storytelling.
In Morocco every carpet tells a tale. From the monochromatic Beni Ourains to the intricate Zemmour kilims, the country's weavings are both a narrative art form and a necessity.
The history of Moroccan rugs dates as far back as the Paleolithic Era. Traditionally they were woven by the Berber tribes for their utility, reflecting Morocco's distinctive climate. The snow-capped, windswept elevations of the Atlas Mountains gave rise to thick, heavy-pile sleeping mats and bed coverings, and the brutal heat of the Sahara inspired light flat-weave shawls. The tribe's semi-nomadic existence also influenced the size of the pieces as the looms and carpets had to be transportable, meaning there could be no weavings over about 7 feet.
Born of necessity, the design of the Berber weaving soon went beyond purely practical concerns. As Ismail explains, the precise designs and motifs of each rug are a doorway into the past, an evocative symbolic language passed down from generation to generation. Hand woven and knotted by the women of the tribe, each rug can take up to a year to complete. The grace and precision of the spontaneous geometric designs depict everything from femininity to spirituality and male protection, and the interaction of the symbols tell the story of the weaver's life from one end to the other.
The rug's combination of minimalism and handmade detail, their subdued restraint and bold inventiveness, were first heralded in the West by the mid-century modernists. In the 1930s designers and architects such as Le Corbusier, Charles and Ray Eames and Alvar Alto, started incorporating the plush, soft rugs in their interiors as a counterbalance to the austerity of their sleekly designed furniture. Frank Lloyd Wright was even known to travel to Morocco to bring back carpets for his clients, and his house at Falling Water features black and white Beni Ourain carpets in almost every room.
Since then, the sparse back and white designs of the prolific Beni Ourain tribes have become increasingly popular in the West. However, as Ismail unfurled each carpet in the semi-darkness of the souk, our eyes were caught by the weavings of a different Berber tribe: the Azilals.
Much like the Beni Ourain, Azilal rugs are one-of-a-kind pieces, woven from dyed and undyed sheep's wool. They come from the Tadla-Azilal province in the Atlas Mountains and are produced by the Ait Bouzid, Ait Shokmane, Ait Bou Oulli and Ait Bougmez tribes. Far rarer than the Beni Ourains, they often feature similar natural ivory and ebony diamond lattice designs on a neutral white background, but are distinguished by their abstract highlights.
The hints of henna, indigo, saffron and madder root dyes that make their way into the rug's motifs and fringes have their own tale to tell. In Berber culture red represents strength and protection, blue wisdom, yellow eternity and green peace.
It is this combination of magic symbolism and minimalist utility that gives the Berber carpets their unique appeal. Each carpet carries the weaver's desire to protect the human spirit from negative energy and shield the human body from the elements. Whether we lay them on our floors or hang them on our walls, these story-filled pieces of art become talismans for our everyday lives.


This interactive presentation covers the oil & gas production from 65224 horizontal wells in 8 US states, through July. Total production from these wells reached 5.7 Gbo, while cumulative gas production topped 47 TCF.
Production from Ohio is available in this presentation as well, but by default deselected, as data is only available through June.
You can see that in July the decline in oil production from these wells has slowed a little, compared with the second quarter. Note further that about 2 million bo/d of new production has been added since the beginning of 2015 (shown by the difference between the top of the graph, and the top of the orange area, in July).
If you switch to gas ("product" selection), you'll see that gas production from these wells has steadied in 2016, on a level slightly higher than in 2015.
This is a high-level observation, which ignores that both oil and gas basins are covered here, and that there major differences in activity between these basins. Still, the proportion of gas has also increased in each of the basins, due to the slower decline profile of gas production.
In the "Well quality" tab, the average oil production profiles are shown for these wells, since 2003. They are grouped by the year in which they started production. I've deselected basins which focus heavily on gas.
This overview shows that since horizontal well production moved from the Bakken to other areas (Eagle Ford, Niobrara and the Permian) at around 2010, wells have shown continuous improvements in initial oil production, but that there is a cross-over point at about 2 years, after which cumulative production starts to become less compared with those earlier wells.
We can derive from this that, on average, recent wells recover a larger portion of their ultimate oil production early on.
The "Top operators" tab shows that the 5 largest oil producers in these basins all have slowed production down since early 2015.
Next week Wednesday (Nov 16), I plan another update on North Dakota once the NDIC releases September production.
How's this for a number- 9,119 wells drilled in 2015 outside of Appalachia. Total Cost at $8MM per (land, drill, complete) $73 billion. Production 4 MMBOPD 1.46 Bbbls. Development Cost per Barrel Produced $50. "Net Up" for royalty (80%), sev and adval tax (11.5%), wti basis ($10) and LOE $10 gives you North of $80 to have a stable (non-declining) self funding business model.
Eventually you want a business to start feeding you and to stop feeding it.
I'm always glad to see that you and others here do your best efforts in translating the information presented here to the next step, and I welcome any good take on it.

Response to Boris Johnson's economic recovery speech
Steve Marsh
The Prime Minister today set out a post-coronavirus recovery plan for the UK economy. Responding to Boris Johnson's speech, Woodland Trust CEO, Darren Moorcroft said:
"The Prime Minister's plans to rebuild the UK economy need to acknowledge that we can't build a more resilient economy without a resilient environment. Action to restore our natural environment along with other green projects will cut carbon and reboot the economy, it's a win-win.
"Woods and trees belong at the heart of any 'green recovery' worthy of the name. That means protecting what we have as well as striving to increase tree cover. It is vital, as the nation strives to stimulate economic recovery, that environmental protections are not relaxed. The Woodland Trust is already fighting over 1000 cases of ancient woods under threat – more than we have seen before - with the route of infrastructure projects such as HS2 to the fore as a major source of these threats. A strong plan-led system that is built on evidence that assesses environmental harm is central to ensuring that we protect our woods and trees.
"The opportunity to initiate an effective 'green recovery' is in our grasp, the potential to create a more prosperous future, to tackle climate change, restore nature, and create healthier places for people and wildlife. This requires vision and investment and we hope to see that from the Prime Minister and Chancellor over the coming weeks.
"A new National Nature Service could help to tackle some of the environmental challenges we face by providing meaningful work that delivers real conservation benefits. However, it is imperative that any scheme is properly funded by government, as part of the wider activities focused on enhancing access to nature for all, the restoration and creation of thousands of hectares of new habitat for wildlife, and promoting healthier, happier communities across the country."
For media queries only please contact Steve Marsh on 01476 581121 or stevemarsh@woodlandtrust.org.uk. Public enquiries should be directed to 0330 333 3300 or enquiries@woodlandtrust.org.uk.
The Woodland Trust is the largest woodland conservation charity in the UK. It has over 500,000 supporters. It wants to see a UK rich in native woods and trees for people and wildlife.
The Trust has three key aims:
protect ancient woodland which is rare, unique and irreplaceable
restoration of damaged ancient woodland, bringing precious pieces of our natural history back to life
plant native trees and woods with the aim of creating resilient landscapes for people and wildlife.
Established in 1972, the Woodland Trust now has more than 1,000 sites in its care covering approximately 29,000 hectares. Access to its woods is free so everyone can benefit from woods and trees.

Creativity, Gratitude, and Self-Care in a Dumpster-Fire World
Posted on October 28, 2018 by McKenna Dean
I've been finding it very difficult to write lately.
I know I'm not alone in this–it's a refrain I hear from many creative types right now. It has less to do with my personal battles with depression and more to do with the constant bombardment of horrific news–especially the mounting tension as we move steadily toward the US mid-term elections. These elections are going to prove to be a referendum on so many things: where we stand as a nation on democracy, diversity, climate change, health care, decency, equality, and compassion. The stakes have never been higher.
As such, I find myself creatively holding my breath, unable to concentrate on the WIP despite a looming deadline. It feels too damn frivolous to be carving out a HEA right now, even though readers probably need the stress-relief, temporary escape, and emotional encouragement more than ever.
And yet I believe in the transformative power of storytelling.
For a while now, Supergirl has been accurately needling social issues of the day in its writing. On the surface, the show is nothing more than a little escapist superhero television action, but at the end of season 2, Cat Grant makes an amazing speech on resistance and courage in the face of fearful times, and I fistpump the air every time I watch it.
It's a powerful scene that fits seamlessly with the the plot without overtly hammering the viewer over the head with the message. It's brilliant.
But the writers of Supergirl haven't stopped there. In another episode, James Olsen shares an experience of being accosted and accused of a crime as young black child–an experience Mehcad Brooks had in real life when he was only seven years old.
And this season, the show's opening montage openly describes Supergirl as a refugee on our planet–and the first couple of episodes have dealt with the growing hostility and suspicion of "aliens" living on Earth and a rising "Earth First" movement. Yes, it's a somewhat cheesy CW show–but it's tackling real issues and I applaud them for it. I was particularly struck in this past week's episode when the AI's shield that allows him to look human fails while he's ordering pizza–and the resulting hostility on the part of the restaurant owner takes Brainy completely by surprise. He keeps saying, "But you know me…" while the pizza guy calls out workers with baseball bats to beat the AI to a pulp.
The imminent violence was stopped because one person stood up–a person, it turned out, who also had a lot to lose if her own secrets were publicly known. Who wouldn't have been spared from the same violence. That's courage. As is telling your boss that he needs to do more than 'tell both sides of the story', that he needs to take a stand.
And that's what makes storytelling compelling. It's what moves a program beyond the realm of 'cheesy superhero TV show' into something worth watching.
This is the kind of writing I want to do myself. I want to bring that kind of layering and introspection to a story that is meant for entertaining consumption. Because when we start to have compassion for the Brainys and Nias of this world, then we can see them as people in our neighborhood, and not enemies to be hated.
But it's hard when your creative well is dry. When fear and anxiety dominate your thoughts. I've recently come to the realization that I can no longer support this sustained level of outrage and horror. It's not healthy. It's not useful to anyone, let alone me.
In some ways, it means I'm still speaking from a place of privilege, that I can even say I need to distance myself from current events. There are so many who can't, who are living the very events I find so appalling. But self-care and distancing is not the same as turning a blind eye. It's saying that a warrior needs to sleep before a battle. That an army must be well-fed and rested before an incursion. That this is a marathon, not a sprint, and there must be breaks along the way.
So I purchased the little notebook pictured above. I can't say that I really believe its sentiments, but I'm making a concentrated effort to find something each day that makes me happy–something for which I'm grateful–and jot it down in this little book. I'm cultivating a sense of gratitude in a field sowed with fear and poisoned with anxiety.
WE ARE ALLOWED TO DO THIS.
No one would expect you to eat tainted food day after day without making any effort to clean it up and make it healthier. No one would demand you willingly consume poison in sublethal levels when it's possible to filter it (unless you live in Flint, Michigan, apparently). Yes, we should be outraged at what's happening in our country and our world. But outrage alone is ineffective. And a steady diet of outrage will kill us as surely as the things we're outraged about.
So I'm reading more and watching the news less. Taking a little break from writing and playing around with other forms of artistic expression, such as painting. I'm having my nails done, despite the fact it's an expensive luxury. Having nice nails makes me feel good at a time when precious little else does. As coping mechanisms go, it's probably one of the less destructive ones.
I'm also making a determined effort not to spread fear and hate. I'm of two minds over this–I think we should be outraged. I think we should be making our voices heard. To say nothing is to be complicit. But I also fear by pointing fingers at it, we're also fanning the flames over it and keeping it alive.
Vote. Donate your time or money, whichever you might have. Overcome your fears and participate in the process. But don't let the fear consume you.
Remember it's okay to tell stories that are simply pure escapism. What may be a light fluffy story to you is what gets someone else through a dark time. It's not a crime to be proud of your successes, and share your happy news. We need more happy in this world.
On the back of my little "Okay" notebook is an awesome quote from Jane Austen. I leave you with that thought now.

Cool! 50s Slang That Lingers On


Therefore it is important that you consider that if you have a new HDTV, DVD can't offer you sufficient quality when enjoying movies. It's time to change and make that final leap to Blu-ray.
If you do not know the benefits that the new Blu-ray offers compared to DVD, you should know that the gap is abysmal from one to the other. DVDs have a limited storage capacity of 4.7 GB on a single layer disc and 8.5GB on dual-layer discs, and the data transfer rate of a DVD (the speed at which you can read ) is limited to barely 11.1 Mb / s.
Blu-rays have, however, a capacity of 25GB on a single layer disc and 50GB on dual-layer discs. The maximum transfer rate is 54 Mb/s and its build makes them highly resistant to scratches and dirt.
All this means that Blu-ray movies, as well as having more definition, 1920 × 1080 pixels in size compared to the 720 × 576 pixels of the image of a DVD, can store movies with less compression, meaning more quality. This allows you to enjoy Blu-ray 3D movies, as they need more space and a higher level of detail (for both eyes) than the usual Blu-ray.
Fortunately, many distributors are striving to launch Blu-ray editions of films of all eras with a picture quality never seen before. Some films with several decades behind that have been edited in Blu-ray look as if they were shot today thanks to the neat quality image that they present.
The sound is another great benefit of the Blu-ray format, because while with a DVD we had to conform with DTS sound tracks of only 1.5 Mb/s and 48 kHz, Blu-rays are able to include DTS-HD tracks at 24.5 Mb/s and 192 kHz. The quality leap is amazing, and if you have good home theater equipment, you will notice the difference.
Leaving aside the technical quality of the digital format, it is also interesting to know that Amazon generally offers movies and series steadily, so getting your series, movies or favorite collector's edition is very affordable, more than you might think at first.
Indeed, some collector's editions available on Blu-ray will take your hiccups away with the impeccable presentation, numerous extras and exclusive items (another reason to buy sagas and series in Blu-ray), as well as in the case of the movie collection of Alfred Hitchcock, the master of suspense.
Blu-ray format readers are not limited to playing discs of this format, some have many more functions that you might not expect to see in them.
In addition to playing Blu-ray, all can play and rescale old DVD drives to fit the size of today's TV screens, taking advantage of the quality they offer. Some are also able to resize the content to 4K / UHD, to harness the potential of the upcoming UHS TVs.
Aside the physical content reproduction, there are Blu-ray player models that are able to access the network to play online content through Smart TV functions.
There are also models with TDT HD tuner and recording capability, allowing you to tune channels in High Definition and record their programming on a hard drive to subsequently enjoy the contents. The vast majority has USB ports for connecting external hard drives or memory sticks and you can enjoy photos, video or music.
The Black Sony BDP-S3500 is one of Sony's latest streaming blu-ray disc players. It features advanced wireless technology, which allows people to watch movies, shows and other programs from a host of streaming services such as Hulu Plus, Pandora, Netflix and others. Additionally, it can also play hundreds of PS3 games without the need for a PlayStation console (Need a DualShock 4 controller), and it can cast multimedia content from an Android compatible device through to a HDTV. The Sony BDP-S3500 weighs in at 3 pounds and measures 10.6 x 10.8 x 2.8 inches. This makes it a sleek, compact device that does an incredible amount!
Obviously, the BP-S3500 model does cost more than a normal or 'standard' player, but the extra cost is justified. The ability to play PS4 games, and to also access PlayStation Now, means that gaming is going to be opened up to an audience who may not ever have owned a Playstation before. This is perhaps one of the first, genuine all encompassing home entertainment devices. Did we mention that it also stream YouTube, Sony Entertainment Network and videos on demand in FHD quality? All this, and output in a great range of amazing colours with the Triluminos Colour.
The integration with Android and iPhone, means that your mobile phone or tablet can be connected as a remote control to the unit. There is an app which can be downloaded, which then gives you full control over the player. Not only this, but you can play the song from your phone through the player, and use the Party Mode. You can also connect a hard drive or USB drive to the player in order to display your media, and control all this from your mobile device.
Using the player is very easy, and it boots up extremely quickly, loading DVD's and Blu Ray discs in less than a second. As you might expect, the menu is intuitive and simple to use, and it also has a uncompromisable interface. The MIMO compatible connection ensures that the interenet connection is fast and stable for seamless streaming.
On to the sound quality, and the Dolby Digital TrueHD offers cinematic high quality sound definition with 7.1 channels of discrete sound. The Sony player is Energy Star 3.0 compliant, which means that it will consume far less power than other similar models might both when it is playing back, and when it is in normal operation and in standby mode. Value for money?…. We think so!!!
When it comes to the more expensive players, the extra money spent is usually due to the better quality CD playback, or other features. With this in mind, if you are seeking the absolute best quality video and audio playback, the $600 Oppo BDP-103D is probably the best machine you can buy. It is super versatile, has the best DVD scaling, a flawless performance, supports all known audio formats, and deals with foreign content without any issues at all.
Everyone from video purists to reviewers rates the integrated Darbee video processing highly, and importantly, Oppo has vastly superior after sales service and support than anyone else. Some people just find it hard to justify the price difference though.

17-Year Old American, Amanda Anisimova, Moves Into Semis of French Open, Defeats Defending Champion, Simona Halep
By Janelle Griffith
Seventeen-year-old Amanda Anisimova stunned at the French Open semifinals on Thursday, defeating defending champion Simona Halep.
She made history with the achievement: Anisimova is the first player born in the 2000s to reach a Grand Slam semifinal. Even she seemed surprised by her win.
"I can't believe it," Anisimova said on court after the win. "I've been working so hard, but I didn't think it would pay off like this. This is honestly more than anything I could ask for."
Here are a few other facts about Anisimova and her achievements:
She is the daughter of Konstanin and Olga Anisimova, Russian immigrants who moved to the United States in 1998, with their older daughter, Maria, who was 10 at the time.
She was born in Freehold Township, New Jersey, on Aug. 31, 2001.
She speaks Russian and English.
The family later moved to Florida, where many professional tennis players live and train. Anisimova now lives in Aventura, Florida.
Anisimova has said she picked up her first tennis ball and developed an interest in the sport thanks to her older sister, Maria.
"My sister ended up playing for UPenn at college. So when I was little, she was playing tennis," Anisimova told the Women's Tennis Association. "I always saw her playing, and I wanted to do it, too. That's how I got into it and my parents got into it, too."
Anisimova made her French Open debut two years ago, earning a wild-card spot at 15.
Although she has Russian roots, she told The New York Times in 2017 that she has never visited her parents' home country or considered representing it on the court.
"I never considered representing Russia," Anisimova said. "I do plan on going, though. I really want to visit and see what it's like and see the culture more."
She is the youngest woman to reach the French Open semifinals since Nicole Vaidisova, who was also 17 at the time, in 2006.
She won her first Tour title this year in Bogota, becoming the youngest American to win a title since Serena Williams won Indian Wells in 1999, according to Reuters.
At 17 years and 10 months old, Anisimova is also the youngest American to reach a Grand Slam semifinal since Venus Williams did so when she was 17 years and two months at the 1997 U.S. Open.
Anisimova as a 16-year old last year
Should she tire of tennis, Anisimova has said she would like to become a surgeon.
"If I didn't play tennis, I'd want to be a surgeon," she said. "Actually what I want to do is go to online college while I'm in my pro career and then go to med school after I finish."

Almost a year ago I lost both parents to suicide. It was a very emotional time for my sisters and I. My sisters boyfriend got drunk and started a fight the day of the funeral, and all hell broke loose. We never scattered the ashes. My youngest sister is the only one who knows where they wanted to be scattered. Although we have since made up, we are living in 3 different cities right now. I moved into my parents home a few months ago, and they are sitting in the urns in the corner of my house. I know some people find it a comfort to have their family members near, I do not. They would not have wanted to be here. They would want to be somewhere beautiful with nature all around them! I have seen a lot of death recently, and although it sounds irrational, sometimes I feel like I need to get the death out of my house in order for things to get better. I also want to have a place to visit them. I want to just do it, to just give them a final place to rest! We were supposed to all do it together(by we I mean the sisters), but I don't see us all together anytime soon. What should I do to give myself peace of mind without ofending my sisters?
I think I would write a little note to each of your sisters and tell them you feel its time to lay your parents to rest. Ask them if they have any suggestions as to what your parents may have wanted. Give them a little time to respond. If they do then there is an open door if they do not then you have given them fair warning. Go inside yourself and decide what would make your parents rest easy.
I know what you mean. I know your sisters probably want to scatter their ashes as well. When my brother passed away last year he was in the middle of getting a divorce, but he died before they were able to so she had the right to the ashes. We ended up having to split the ashes and just settle it that way so she could do her thing with them and our family could do ours. Maybe you could do something like that? I still have part of my brother's ashes I'm holding onto for my Mom and part to scatter in California where we lived. I'm sorry for all that you're going through.
You mentioned your youngest sister is the only one who knows where your parents wanted to be scattered. Are you reconciled enough to find out where, and make what arrangements you can to make that happen?
If you can agree, you don't all have to be there, but I think the most peaceful solution will be to ultimately put the ashes where they were requested by your parents, however it gets done. You might want to have at least one witness, (hopefully one of your sisters, or someone you all trust) so you can verify that's what you did with them.
My younger sister knows but doesn't! She know it by sight and says she would have to go to the varoius parks to find the right spot. My older sister is the obsticle since she has the hardest time parting with anything that was my parents. Even dumb things like underwear! She's also the one who lives all the way across the country. I'm going to try to speak to them both via conference call and give them some of the suggestions you guys made. Anyone else who has any ideas I'm all ears!

WWI setting means Battlefield 1's multiplayer will be unlike anything before it
As part of today's livestream and presentation, EA DICE revealed that the future of Battlefield is going back to the advent of what we might consider modernized warfare with a World War I setting. Besides a single-player campaign with multiple protagonists, Battlefield 1 is looking to provided the most robust multiplayer suite the series has ever seen.
The first aspect of this is the largest maps yet. Arabia, the Italian Alps, and the muddy fields of France from the western front have already been confirmed and are just as destructible as anything we've seen before. Massive battleships can pepper coastlines and reduce them to clusters of smoldering craters, while tanks can rolls through narrow alleyways in urban France, leaving buildings in heaps of rubble behind them. One unique vehicle, though, will be cavalry horses. Riding horses can provide speed in multiplayer, while also giving players access to places normal vehicles cannot get to.
The battle for air supremacy has also taken a distinct turn in Battlefield 1. You can try to channel your inner Red Baron (the pilot, not the pizza) by hopping into biplanes. Some of these old-school aircraft will also offer players a chance to dominate with friends, as they'll seat two people, meaning one person will pilot while the other will man the guns. Whether or not you can accidentally shoot your own plane like in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is yet to be seen.
The core of Battlefield 1's multiplayer, though, will remain with the troops on the ground. Players will be able to choose from one of four classes: Assault, Medic, Scout, and Support. Assault is great for taking out enemy vehicles, Medics are the healing experts, Scouts specialize in picking off single targets with sniper rifles or the like, and Support uses heavy guns to mow down infantry that cross their path. There are also vehicle-specific classes being introduced for the first time, like tank drivers and biplane pilots. While anyone can drive vehicles in multiplayer just like in previous games, these special classes will get boosts if piloting their vehicle of expertise.
Personal weaponry is also a massive aspect of the new Battlefield. While flamethrowers, mustard gas, and zeppelins were teased in the presentation, we can confirm era-accurate ordnance of all kinds. Pistols, rifles (bolt-action, semi-auto, and fully-auto), and machine guns will be usable by players. You can also call in artillery strikes. Your melee weapon may be just as important as your gun, however, for the first time in the series.
In true World War I fashion, getting your hands dirty in the trenches and getting up close and personal with your enemies is going to be a large part of the gameplay. Knives, sabers, shovels, and trench clubs all offer up distinctive advantages and kill scenarios for players, while a special power called the bayonet charge will also be available for some particularly gruesome close-up kills.
One final change Battlefield 1's multiplayer is introducing is a heavier emphasis on team play. Lone wolves beware as charging blindly into battle should spell certain doom as EA DICE has admitted to trying to reward more strategic, team-oriented gameplay. How exactly this will manifest itself is yet to be seen.
And due to EA DICE failing to offer hands-on opportunities before EA Play in June, it's difficult to tell just how all these changes will actually feel in Battlefield 1. The grounded, reality-based scenario definitely has me excited again, and the potential for even more varied locations not yet announced—like Prussia on the eastern front, maybe—has me wanting to know more. At the very least, it appears like Battlefield is taking a step forward by going back in time.
Battlefield 1 will launch on October 21st for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

WAGE WAR Reveal New Music Video DON'T LET ME FADE AWAY & Announce Second Album DEADWEIGHT For Release 4th August
Music Existence April 28, 2017 Music Video, News Leave a comment
Ocala, Florida's Wage War has announced details for their forthcoming sophomore album, titled Deadweight, which was produced by A Day To Remember vocalist Jeremy McKinnon and Andrew Wade (Neck Deep, The Ghost Inside). The album is due out August 4 on Fearless. With the announcement, the band has also released a brand new song, "Don't Let Me Fade Away," and music video.
Digital and physical pre-order options for Deadweight are available now, and include instant downloads of "Don't Let Me Fade Away" and "Stitch" with each order. Watch the music video for "Don't Let Me Fade Away" below and visit wagewarband.com for more info.
"We are so thrilled to finally announce our new album, Deadweight. We've put so much time, effort, and emotion into making what we think is the best and truest Wage War album," says guitarist and vocalist Cody Quistad. "Lyrically, it's the most vulnerable and honest we've ever done. Musically, we really pushed ourselves on the heavy and melodic sides of our band. "Stitch" was an insight to the heavy and now we give you a melodic answer, "Don't Let Me Fade Away".
"This record was exceptionally hard to pick singles for because of how much time and work we put into making every song a great one," he explains. "'Don't Let Me Fade Away' was always a stand out from the beginning. It's all the elements that make up our band in one song, and in a perfected state. We're very excited for all that's ahead!"
This week, Wage War kick off a US tour with Every Time I Die and '68, with festival performances slated throughout, including Carolina Rebellion, Northern Invasion and Rock On The Range. They will announce their return to the UK very soon.

Police in Torrance, California told the public Friday that they're investigating multiple reports of a woman roving the city and subjecting people to racist tirades. Thanks to a license plate number, they said they have identified the woman as a 56-year-old Long Beach resident name Lena Hernandez and are now weighing charges against her. One such diatribe, caught on video in a local park, shows her screaming, "Next time you talk to me like that, you're gonna get your ass kicked by my family, and they're going to fuck you up!...Go back to whatever fucking Asian country you belong in...Don't you ever say 'Oh Jesus' to me when I want to use the stairs, you little bitch." The woman and the filmer had reportedly bumped into one another on a set of park stairs. One person described a similar experience where the unidentified woman called him a "Chinaman" and told him to "go home." Another reported being assaulted by the woman in October 2019 at a nearby mall. Ted Lieu, the city's Democratic representative, wrote on Twitter, "You know what's sort of cool? The good and decent people of Torrance repeatedly elected an Asian-American." The mayor of Torrance said, "Conduct like that displayed on the video cannot be tolerated."

Calves are the dairy cows of the future. Successful calf rearing gives a lot of benefits: less environmental impact, lower costs and a more sustainable dairy cow. To make good calf rearing possible for every farmer, HAS University of Applied Science started, together with Vetvice, FrieslandCampina Nutrifeed, MSD Animal Health, VDK products and Agrifirm the Dutch project 'Blueprint calf rearing'.
An optimal calf rearing is an investment for the future. Reason enough to have a closer look at this upmost important period in the life of a cow. Successful calf rearing is the result of working smart and disciplined in ideal circumstances. This requieres knowledge. The multiannual project 'Blueprint calf rearing' aims to better calf rearing in dairy management by developing and testing a blue print with best practices, usable for dairy managers and the advising sector.
The project consists of an applied research into practical use of scientific insights on best calf rearing. Students of HAS University of Applied Science, location Den Bosch, will be doing research for two years into the various stages of life of calves, from birth to calving heifer. During each stage there will be looked at housing, climate, feeding, hygiene, animal welfare management and labour.
The research will be done based on a draft of the blueprint that students created with help of advisors of the participating partners. The draft will be tested and refined during the research. Students will take inventory of and analize the current working methods of participating farmers and then formulate suiting advices in consultation with the farmer.
The results of the research - the blueprint with best practices - will be bundled and made available to (dairy) farmers and advisors in the agricultural sector. The project runs from 2016 till the beginning of 2019.
