Evangelism-minded Christians sure love their zingers! Last time we met up, we looked at Lydia McGrew's attempt at one. She wrote an essay that tried to be a sort of Argument from Jesus' Resurrection Totally Happened So Therefore Christianity Itself Is Totally True. Among its many flaws, her attempt at a Christian zinger revealed a huge shortcoming in Christians' thinking. I'll show you what that shortcoming is–and why it's such a dealbreaker.
Christians who admire confrontational styles of evangelism, similarly, have a lot of trouble understanding criticisms of the technique. Indeed, these sorts of Christians often suffer a oneitis of their own. Most of them have a little pet apologetics argument that they think is the One True Argument to Slay Disbelief and Doubt.
Things get comical when they try to use their favorite argument as a zinger.
Skipping Steps in Favor of Zingers.
You'll soon be able to recognize Christian who suffer from Apologetics Oneitis.
Often they are totally convinced that if they could only make their sales marks understand this one argument, whatever it is, then they'd totally win those souls for Unca Jebus.
Sometimes this one argument is Creationism. In that case, the Christian in question will seek out non-Christians who understand science and argue Creationism at them. That might not even be the main reason for the non-Christian to reject Christianity, but the zinger-flinger will pester at this one topic as if someone's conversion totally hinges upon it.
The hilarious part? I've never even seen one of these sorts of Christians ask their sales prospects about that main reason before launching into their routine.
Lydia McGrew clearly believes that one reason for her religion to be rejected is that non-Christians don't see how Jesus Christ could possibly have been resurrected. Hence, her paper focuses on this one miracle claim. In reality, however, she's got a whole lot of steps to establish before she can go near the Resurrection. Instead of establishing those steps, she just states outright that the Gospels are reliable histories–and she just goes from there.
In her entire list of essays, I didn't see a single one that actually tackled them, either.
The Christians who like zingers also tend to argue apologetics like they're a star lawyer in the middle a courtroom during the trial of the century. They have a certain cattle-chute-like series of questions they like to ask, and they expect answers to follow along a very certain avenue. If they can get their prey to play along, then the series of questions ends with a J'ACCUSE! finger-pointing style that, ideally, will provoke a heartbroken confession.
If you remember God's Not Dead, that movie's creators certainly bought into this exact debate style.
Yes, I hate God! All I have for him is hate.
Now, Josh already knows that Professor Radisson hates his god. The movie already showed us a scene in which Radisson talked about his mother's death and the futility of prayer. The other students clearly take Josh's questioning as some kind of Word of Wisdom, but it isn't.
The movie's Christian viewers love this scene for a reason. It is everything they ache to see in confrontation-based evangelism.
Aww, That Was His Surrenderin' Arm.
After the zinger lands home, prospects are supposed to drop to their knees and start babbling the Sinner's Prayer. At the very least, they're supposed to come away troubled by this sudden realization of Christianity's utter truth. In that movie clip I just showed you, immediately after Radisson explodes in hatred, the movie cuts to a close-up of the Chinese atheist character. He is very deeply concerned.
The Chinese atheist converts, incidentally. Radisson himself converts in his final moments after being fatally struck by a car.
And gang, either fantasy outcome is fine to the kinds of Christians who love movies like this.
In reality, however, this approach alienates people. I realize that the Christians at that Cross Examined site think otherwise, but they make their living from people buying the resources they sell that are based upon this approach.
It literally doesn't matter to them if Christians successfully evangelize as long as they keep buying these resources. They've already made their sale.
Zingers fail as a tactic for many reasons.
Mainly, zingers fail because people generally have a large pool of reasons for believing or disbelieving things. In reality, a real Radisson would have a lot of reasons for rejecting Christianity. Some people do get angry about the religion's promises turning out to be untrue; they just usually use that anger to propel a deeper investigation into why the promises didn't work out. Or they might end up angry at the Christians who peddle Christianity on the basis of these promises.
It's like people who believe that leprechauns give out pots of gold. When they find out that the gold doesn't exist, they don't get mad at the leprechauns. If someone does get mad at the leprechauns, they've got a whole other problem.
In similar fashion, people need reasons to believe in anything. Once we have enough reasons, we'll believe whether we like it or not. We won't be able to help ourselves.
Christians just don't have a lot of actual reasons to offer.
That's why they use zingers in the first place.
Lydia McGrew's attempt at a zinger suffers from the same shortcomings as any other Argument from X. Her essay tries to make the case that Jesus Christ's resurrection really happened, and so therefore her religion's other supernatural claims simply must also be true.
But none of that follows.
She never gets around to giving us a good reason to think that anything in the Gospels really happened, much less any of its claimed miracles. Her essay boils down to this: Christians really, really need a Resurrection to have happened, so it must have. The Bible's claims about the Resurrection become true simply because it's in the Bible, which she states at the beginning of her essay as her working presupposition.
Once she "establishes" that the Resurrection totally happened, McGrew can move on to saying that if that happened then obviously Christianity itself is based upon reality. Its claims become true; everyone needs to get busy.
In reality, though, one miracle claim does not a belief system create.
I wasn't at all surprised that McGrew focused on the Bible. I'm not even surprised that she focused on the Resurrection, out of everything else in the Bible. Obviously the Bible–and the Resurrection myth–figure prominently in any Christian's faith pool.
But she probably won't ever understand why she must focus on those things.
See, Christians claim miracles happen every single day. Chances are that literally millions of Christians–maybe even billions–think a miracle has totally happened to them. Depending on how they define a miracle, most of these claims will be small: car keys found, parking spaces sighted, a test passed. Some will be much larger, but similarly perfectly natural.
Lydia McGrew doesn't focus on those miracles, however, despite how much easier it'd be to gather information about them.
Instead, she focuses on a supposed miracle that occurred literally thousands of years ago.
I guess it's much easier to PROVE YES PROVE something that happened way before camera-phones existed.
In reality, once the zinger is delivered–if it can be delivered at all–chances are the prospects will know that something's been put over on them. They'll roll their eyes, say Whatever, dude, and walk away. They might not know exactly what debate trick just got played on them, but they'll know a trick was played.
The bigger problem for confrontational evangelists is meeting up with people who actually know what their tricks are. That's why we've been talking about this tactic for so long. Forewarned is forearmed, as they say!
The biggest problem at all for these would-be evangelists, though, is that even if they could credibly demonstrate a single one of their claims, that still leaves a whole lot of claims left unanswered.
Often an evangelist will assume that if they can make a non-believer buy into their One True Argument, then that person will simply assume (as the evangelist does) that this one argument's success means that everything else is true as well. But that's not how it works.
If this one miracle actually could become something we can't possibly explain, that still leaves a whole can of wriggling juicy worms that the evangelist can't possibly deal with–both about miracles themselves and everything else that's wrong with the religion.
For that matter, one miracle's really much like another. A Christian makes a claim about something they've heard about or seen or experienced that is hugely unlikely. They claim that supernatural aid made it happen. They expect us to buy into the claim based on their say-so.
Occasionally they mix it up by ponying up support for the claim; I've never once seen any attempts that rose to the level of providing credible evidence for it. Either way, then they get mad at us for rejecting the claim.
The only way that a Resurrection miracle claim differs from a modern one is the time-period involved. It's a lot easier to reject a modern miracle claim because the claimant simply has so many ways of credibly verifying the claim and we can easily tell that none of those methods are in use here. We have comparably fewer ways to verify a claim set in ancient times.
It's just easier to fill a faith pool from ancient waters.
A long time ago, even while I was still Christian, I realized this simple truth: my peers focused on those ancient miracles exactly because it was easier for us that way.
In the same way, it's easier to practice a style of evangelism based upon confrontation and zingers. A zinger gives the person using it that satisfying sense of having put one over on the other person. It provides the glow of superiority and victory that Christians sorely lack in today's world. Without zingers, they'd never get to do their victory dance.
Sure, this tactic doesn't result in actual conversions in practical use. But wow, does it ever makes sales with Christians who already believe.
NEXT WEEK: We're circling back to that one Cross Examined piece because it amused me so much. Next, we're looking at faux-experts within Christianity. It's another busy week around here! We'll see you then!
The Ben Lawers Mountain in Scotland. (portengaround, CC-SA.) In 1878, a bunch of Scottish guys built a 17′ stack of rocks on its summit to make it 4000′ high.
1 As you can guess, it's no fun at all to be the hapless soul who gets caught in the laser sights of a oneitis-stricken Nice Guy™.
2 And yes, these Christians get really touchy when other people aren't as overwhelmed as they were. They get even touchier when someone pokes holes in their OTP argument, and I can see why: it's a huge slam on their own discernment and rationality!

Now a comfortable None, she blogs on Roll to Disbelieve about psychology, pop culture, politics, relationships, cats, gaming, and more--and where they all intersect with religion.

Georgetown University is honored to join PostClassical Ensemble in the fourth year of an educational partnership. By combining our resources and interdisciplinary interests, we are committed to bringing the joy of music to a new generation. This season, we are also celebrating the second year of collaboration with the Film Program of the National Gallery of Art and our inaugural production with Igal Perry and Peridance Contemporary Dance Company of New York.
Music is more than entertainment, more than a relic of the past. And the study of music has long outgrown the confines of the conservatory. This week's performing arts celebration serves as a step along Georgetown University's path to the future. The Music Program in the Department of Performing Arts has recently gained national attention for its undergraduate major in American Musical Culture. The goal of this program is to bridge the fields of "music performance" and "music as a liberal art" through an integrated study of history, cultural studies, theory and performance. Under the leadership of Joseph Horowitz and Angel Gil-Ordóñez, PostClassical Ensemble is bringing an innovative approach to contemporary music culture that inspires our students. They are living proof that understanding music is both an artistic and an intellectual achievement.
Through collaborative concerts, conferences, and classroom instruction, Georgetown University and PostClassical Ensemble are committed to bringing students, scholars, performers and audiences together in new and exciting ways. As partners, we hope to show with events like Falla/Stravinsky and the upcoming Schubert Uncorked that music is both a manifestation of intellectual curiosity and a creative endeavor that strengthens contemporary society.

Devolro's apocalypse-ready off-road limousine

Does anyone really need to be chauffeured around in a stretched-out off-road rambler? Probably not, but if society ever collapses into a loose collection of post-apocalyptic outposts strung together with rock and rubble, we expect that the truck-based Devolro limousine will be the vehicle of choice for new-era one-percenters.
I was half-jogging to a New York Auto Show press conference that I planned to squeeze in before a dinner meeting when the very corner of my eye caught Devolro's hallway stand. The world stopped. I couldn't turn away from the towering hunk of black metal dressed loosely with seductively posed vixens. I was drawn in and held captive for a good 20 minutes, missing the press conference and delaying my dinner meeting. The thing just refused to be ignored.
An even more extreme alternative to the Hummer limousine, Devolro's limo is about as extreme as a vehicle can get. It is built on a stretched-out, jacked-up Toyota Tundra platform and equipped with things like steel bumpers, all-terrain tires, a six-inch lift kit and a rooftop gear rack. The roomy interior is as swank as any limousine and features leather seats, a mini bar, televisions and a big audio system.
Despite how ridiculous the idea of a massive limousine navigating dirt and rock is, Miami-based Devolro Performance Cars Studio does see its limo as an off-road-capable solution. When we asked where the design was meant to drive, a rep said quite simply "Off road."
Back in the real world, we're guessing savvy off-roaders will continue to drive themselves in small, maneuverable jeeps, and avoid the pitfalls of that football field of underbody and bus-like turning radius. This limo will more likely be used to make unapologetic and flamboyant displays of wealth at the galas of those that crave attention and the sweet 16 parties of their offspring.
The limousine on the New York floor was the first model built, and Devolro hopes to build about 20 a year for the likes of political leaders and celebrities. The model can be outfitted with armor or left in "standard" form, and prices will start at around US$380,000.
The Devolro limo may be one of the least practical vehicles on the face of the Earth, but its little brother Diablo (seen above) does have some utility, albeit for a very small crowd. Built to "unleash your beast" and "show who you really are" (assuming who you really are is an aggro, Earth-roaming nomad), the Diablo is a smaller Tundra-based off-road expedition vehicle.
Devolro strips the meek standard bumpers off the Tundra, replacing them with its own heavy-duty special alloy reinforced by stiffening ribs. Not only do the bumpers give the Diablo "tank-like armor," but they deliver its intimidatingly mean presence. The burly bumpers are raised off the ground thanks to a 7-inch lift and 37-inch tires. If those accoutrements aren't enough to navigate the unforgiving piece of world you're driving through, the air-locking differential should help you claw your way onward.
The Diablo is powered by a 381-hp 5.7-liter V8 engine fed by 187 liters (49 gallons) of range-extending fuel tank. An available supercharger system increases horsepower to more than 500.
Devolro creates a big belly to its beast by adding a fiberglass locking bed topper for gear storage. An available camper configuration uses the roofed bed as a living space, with two to six bunks, cooking space, refrigerator, stove, sink, toilet, shower and more. It's sure to be one of the baddest overlanding campers on any remote expedition.
Speaking of remote expeditions, Devolro, which also has a distributor in Russia, put its money where its mouth is and took the Diablo on a 10,000-mile journey across Siberia in support of a documentary from Russia Today. Besides its primary purpose of documentary filming, the expedition served as a test run for the Diablo, allowing Devolro to make design changes based on real-world performance and problems. The company has another expedition planned for this summer and actively seeks scientific, governmental and other expedition partners.
Other available Devolro upgrades include off-road lighting, Brembo brakes, a Warn winch, Bushwhacker off-road wheel flares, smoked LED taillights and a rear-view camera. Off-roaders might be happy enough with a set of off-road-specific controls and a pair of wipe-clean seats in the cabin, but Devolro adds a layer of comfort with a custom leather interior and Harman Kardon audio system. Of course, its vehicles are designed in cooperation with its customers, so willing buyers can have the say-so in terms of what goes into and comes out of their burlified Tundras.

I'm honestly surprised more companies don't make more expensive trucks and SUV's. If you are in the market for a sports car there are 10-20 companies with a handful of models available in almost any price range but the same isn't true of SUV's.
There aren't many options above 75k aside from the highly specialized bullet proof ones.

If these guys were smart enough to design a 8 wheeled bogied suspension they'd have something.
It would work well on sand as well...provide a much smoother and safer ride and they could sell it to the Arabs for sand cruising and make some big bucks.
It seems that few understand that 8 wheels provide lower rolling resistance. If you don't believe it, tell it to the railway guys and watch them going into hysterics looking at you.
tjcoop3 April 9, 2013 01:43 PM
I figure with all that extra room rip out that rear facing seat and I got plenty of space for a whole lot more gear than any full size SUV available.

Does it at least come with an external Zombie guts wash & rinse?
Griffin April 9, 2013 07:24 PM
Laughable. "Tank-like armor?"
They have obviously never been in a tank- tanks don't NEED bumpers.
As for "off-road limos", if you stretch ANYTHING,try to take it off-road AND armor it you are moving into increasingly negative converging vectors.

Q: how to add point features to openlayer 6 map I'm new to openlayers and am looking for a good tutorial for adding point features to a map.
There are 900 points {name, lat,long,url} which represent retail stores and I need to be able to add each of them along with a colour that indicates the health of the store. The health of the store may change every 15 minutes.
I'm trying to start simple, but am struggling to add a single point to a map. Any guidance would be appreciated. heres what I have so far. The map displays , but no points are visible. I'm struggling with the examples as they seem to assume node.js.
stores=[
   {storeID:3,name:"store name",lat:51.576175,lon:-0.224523,addr:"store address"}

Originally appeared on kickaction.ca on 17/02/2016.
I talk a lot about self-care, a concept that means taking time to do the things that you haven't been able to do, often because of stressful circumstances. From many articles, tweets, and blog posts, I've learned about many things I can do – taking baths and walks, sleeping in, booking that much delayed doctor's appointment, spending time with friends you haven't seen in a while, and so forth. The goal is to learn to listen to myself when it's time to say "NO" and/or "STOP" to my work, making the balance between work and personal life easier to manage.
But working in non-profits and doing frontline work makes this harder. Self-care can seem like a box to check off the to-do list. The culture of non-profit organizations is doing a lot with very little, and always doing more. This looks like increasing quotas, tight deadlines, unexpected larger workload/new projects, and fragile supports and systems to deal with it all. It looks like the asking of questions about new projects and opportunities without asking if there is time and mental capacity to do it; the saying "you don't have to" while saying "you have to". By the time we realize we're in this culture, we're already trained to see ourselves as secondary to our work.
There is a tremendous amount of emotional labour frontline workers do that doesn't allow for us to press the pause button, and so self-care becomes a struggle to do and keep doing.
A long time ago, I made a promise to myself: don't bring work home. When I do, I end up staying up into tomorrow, ignoring the things I originally planned to do, and not feeding the passions I have outside of work. So I made this promise, but I have broken it many times. It is hard with deadlines and high stress levels that cause your brain to be on all the time. On some days I've told my brain to shut up at 11pm, then again at 2am, then again at 4am, only to wake up in a few hours to go back to my work space and work, work, work.
It doesn't help that some colleagues around me ignore self-care like I do; we end up enabling each other's habits. We send emails after work, glued to the screen as if we were still at work. We check them on our off days because we're "bored", which is code for overly committed. We stay later than we should in order to finish tasks and projects all in one go as opposed to five. Most importantly, we feel like there is never enough time.
Of course there are many people, things, and places that can help facilitate a process of practicing self-care. I've put glitter jars on my desk, stress balls in my filing cabinet, and brought markers to draw on my break. I've created many of these things with the young girls I work with, the Village Bloggurls, in order to pass the message along that self-care matters. But my actual work space when I'm not working with them does not allow me to even use those things.
My space is super small and squished, which means constantly moving things on and off my desk. Trainings and/or meetings fall at the odd hours/lunch hour, and if they are occurring somewhere besides my office, it means eating my lunch early only to be hungry when I come back. Or I don't really take a break and just eat at my desk while working. And anyone who plans and facilitates workshops can attest to many hours of thinking over every possible detail much longer than we are paid for, which means that thinking happens in all spaces we go into. Moving away from your desk is so much harder than it seems.
You just want to get the work done so you a) don't have to take it home and b) don't have to worry about it amongst the 549387 other things you already worry about. But it hardly ever works out that way. Firstly, you end up taking the work home in a bag you've been told many times is too heavy (with work stuff). Then, you start ignoring things and feeling low on energy. You ignore eating the food you spent much time preparing and eat junk instead; Your skin becomes paler and drier than any Winter could make it; You get sick more often; You fall asleep on every bus, while you're driving, while you sit at your desk, etc. You forget what enjoyment looks like; And because you're so tired, you can't focus nor function. Your body works overtime to accommodate the brain's command to "keep going".
There have been seasons where I was super sick, lost my voice, had swollen feet, and running on 2 hours of sleep but still came to work. This is often seen as a mark of dedication and something to be proud of. But I can't help but wonder if we have to be in such fragile conditions to do our best.
When we all don't practice self-care and don't talk to each other about it, the cycle continues. Weighing the pros and cons of taking a day off here or a vacation there is really asking whether our well-being is important enough. It's an awful reality that doesn't have to exist if we can change the culture in little steps.
1. Restructure breaks: Let's be real: I don't actually take breaks most days because in my "work work work" brain it doesn't make sense. Instead, I'll add something that involves colour and creation into my to-do list, like drawing out a calendar, doodling ideas (emphasis on "doodle"), and colouring in a print-out. Activities like this keep my brain focused in a way that helps me think clearly in terms of what needs to be done and when it needs to be done (hint: not all in one day).
2. Make a list of things to do for the week, then cross out/circle the ones you won't do today: I find this helpful in two ways: 1) I feel like I've done it already (momentary bliss) and b) I tend not to think about it as a "right now" thing. It's kind of like a "not to-do list". Doing my lists like this helps me hold myself responsible to my own boundaries. I cannot do everything at once, and that's okay.
3. Pep talks in between tasks: It sounds very weird, but I find it helpful to talk/whisper to myself about what I've done, what I'm going to do next, and remind myself of what I'm not going to do. Asking "are you okay?" is also something I do to really be honest with myself. I get lost in my brain a lot and feel the pressure to do more and more and more even when the pressure isn't there (the non-profit culture is!). Speaking with myself in encouraging ways really makes a difference in how much I strength I have to say "NO" and stick to it.


Advertising networks need to do a better job of protecting brands like General Motors, Honda, and Lenovo against serving ads on ad-supported Web sites that distribute pirated content, such as movies and music.
The industry has been active in identifying ad units served next to competing or undesirable content, but not informed when they appear on sites distributing copyrighted material gratis.
Amazon, American Express, BMW, Lexus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Walmart and Walt Disney World are among the brands that appear on multiple occasions on infringing sites, according to Annenberg Innovation Lab Transparency Report at the University of Southern California, which cites an estimated 150,000 sites related to entertainment.
The university school became one of the academic organizations to work closely with Hollywood as it transitioned from celluloid to digital distribution of movies to theaters in the mid-2000s.
The goal of the report is to steer ad dollars away from pirated-content sites that exploit film, TV and music. It draws on information from the list of top infringing sites compiled using the Google Transparency Report of domains with the most DMCA Takedown requests.
Since the last report, several brands and agencies are working with the lab to regulate ads across pirated sites. Google and OpenX, two big players from the last report, are no longer on the most recent. Annenberg Lab Director Jonathan Taplin said he met with both companies to discuss methods and address the issues. Basically, they blocked access from their ad servers, similar to what they do to avoid placement on pornographic sites, he said. Both reduced the number of infringing sites they place ads on.
The latest report, which compiles information since Jan. 1, 2013, names Yahoo's Right Media and British firm Propellerads.com as a major provider to infringing sites. Propellerads increased service this month to the pirate marketplace, and moves into the No. 1 spot in USC's survey. Sumotorrent takes the No. 2 spot, followed by Yahoo's Right Media, Admxr, Exoclick, Adcash, Quantcash, Mgid, Adtransfer, and Infolinks.

Blockchain Technology: From Bitcoin To Crypto-Wallet Know It All
Blockchain is an emerging technology that is making its way into the mainstream sectors rapidly.
You must have heard about the term 'Blockchain Technology' frequently and wondering why exactly in the world everyone is talking about it. Many of us believe that the blockchain is the technology only behind the bitcoins.
However, the blockchain holds the potential beyond managing the cryptocurrencies. The number of world leaders including Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Richard Benson is listed among the people who admire the Blockchain Technology.
Every day, more and more International Banks are integrating the technology for digital currency transaction, but why? Here is a guide for you to know all about the blockchain technology and how top blockchain app development companies work.
What Is Blockchain Technology?
As per Wikipedia, the definition of Blockchain technology goes like this, "Blockchain technology is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block typically contains a hash pointer as a link to a previous block, a timestamp and transaction data."
To put it in simple words, the Blockchain is an anonymous ledger that uses the data structure to record the transactions between two individuals without the involvement of the third party for verification. Two users can carry out the transaction on their own, without depending on the third party for it.
To get a better idea, consider a Google spreadsheet which holds all records of actions. The spreadsheet is duplicated thousands of times and shared with each computer in the blockchain network and they regularly update the sheet.
The data in the blockchain is shared publicly for verification instead of saving it at a centralized location. This saves the data from any risk of being attacked or corrupt by hackers. The stored data in the technology is hosted by millions of computers across the globe and it accessible to every computer with an internet connection.
In 2008, a digital currency named Bitcoin was created by a cryptographer named Satoshi Nakamoto (Pseudonym). The Bitcoin is used to make the digital transaction without revealing the identity of the involving parties to anyone and there is no third party such as banks is involved.
The Bitcoin currency uses the Blockchain technology for enabling the users to send and receive the digital capital anonymously. The blockchain technology contains the algorithm that eliminates the process of verification while the transaction.
The technology comprises a complete chain of computers that must exchange the approval for the transaction to be recorded and verified. The blockchain technology gives data access to every single entity in the system which assures there is not a single point of failure in the process.
Now that we have provided you with a basic introduction about the blockchain technology, let's move forward with the working segment of this emerging technology.
Now, let's take a look at how does the blockchain technology actually works. In order to carry out the successful transaction, the system assures the two entities that process is safe and secured to participate without the verification process. In contrast to putting the details in sheet, the system has a database that receives the different outputs and then arranged them in blocks.
Afterward, using the cryptographic signature, each block is chained to the next block that is accessible to everyone having access. The blockchain technology uses the Bitcoin as the cryptocurrency and provides a hassle-free way of money transaction without the involvement of any third party without any risk. This technique of digital transaction allures the people who didn't want to reveal their identities while making the transaction.
Being public and allowing every single computer to access the data freely embeds the attribute of transparency to the blockchain technology. Moreover, corrupting the blockchain development is not possible, even if happens, it will take an enormous amount of computer power to retrieve the whole information.
Who Is Using It and Why Banks Are So Interested?
The application of the blockchain development is not limited only to the money transaction but is also helps the banks to keep records and other back-end functions. With the help of blockchain, the banks are able to convert the paper-based records into an electronic decentralized ledger to access all the information from a single source.
Banks are also using the technology for a money transaction process to make it more efficient and secured. This also enables the banks to access any documentation to track the authentic assets of anyone easily.
However, the use of blockchain development is not limited to the financial sector, the government of Honduras uses the blockchain project to keep a record of the landowners. The record is available on the blockchain- public ledger and it immediately reflects any change in the ownership. The authorities of Georgia is working on the blockchain-based property registry.
The tech companies are also suggesting to their respective nations to introduce national blockchain currency solutions. e-Dinar of Tunisia is the first state currency, which is powered by blockchain. Along with this, the technologies eliminate the need for a middleman to carry out the transaction process. This encourages the people to go for the more one-one transaction of cryptocurrencies using the blockchain technology.
For users to make the process seamless, there are electronic 'wallets' or crypto-wallets that is used to buy, sell and manage Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies.
Is Blockchain Safe?
The blockchain technology ensured a trusted pathway for two parties willing to transfer the digital currency without the involvement of any third one. The whole system provides financial constitutions for the transaction without the interference of human beings. The transaction is recorded and maintains by the technology in the form of blocks and keep it secured with the help of cryptography.
While operating through the blocking technology and managing the bitcoins their user gets 'Public' and 'Private' keys. Where Public key is randomly generated with a combination of string that denotes the user's address on the blockchain network.
The private key is more like a password for the user to store and manage their Bitcoins. You can save your digital assets on block change as it is incorruptible, however, you need to safeguard your private key to avoid any kind of harm to assets.
However, Blockchain security has always been a point of argument over the technology between the tech experts and the government of many countries. In spite of this, many popular banks are adopting the technology. Currently, the prices of Bitcoins are hiking, but the time will tell in what direction the technology will go.

Interfaith groups help immigrants
PUBLISHED: June 16, 2007 at 4:05 a.m. | UPDATED: August 15, 2016 at 7:41 p.m.
Houses of worship are circling the wagons around an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants at risk of deportation nationwide in a sweeping partnership called the New Sanctuary Movement.
In the East Bay, more than 10 churches and synagogues have agreed to provide housing, legal, financial or child care help to targeted families.
An additional 90 or so have expressed an interest, said the Rev. Sharon Brostrum, regional coordinator. Organizers are withholding the names of the participating congregations until early July.
Interfaith organizations launched the New Sanctuary Movement in Los Angeles, New York and San Diego on May 9.
Clergy announced the Bay Area link-up at a San Jose news conference Thursday just as the doomed federal immigration reform bill came up for air.
The bill, since buoyed by an extra $4.4 billion in border security, would introduce a "guest worker" program that would require trips back and forth to the country of origin. It would also penalize companies that hire illegal immigrants. The undocumented could obtain legal status, but at a cost of $5,000. And family ties would no longer be given primary weight in determining eligibility. Senate leaders predict they will vote on the bill before the July 4 recess.
Before the bill took shape, the federal government stepped up deportations in the past year. "Operation Return to Sender" netted 13,000 arrests nationwide from June to January, and 119 people in Contra Costa in 12 days, according to government figures.
The program targeted those with criminal backgrounds but allowed "collateral" arrests of any other illegal immigrants who were present.
In shielding those at risk of deportation, "We have a very specific covenant," said the Rev. Carol Been, Northern California director of Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice.
Part of that covenant is that the families who receive sanctuary will agree to go public.
"The mantra of 'They broke the law' has been in the media so much that the human face is getting lost," Been said. "We have people who are quite heroic who are willing to stand up and be one of those human faces.
"Families are getting torn apart, the victims of legalese — citizen children torn from their parents," she said. "Most have had lawyers who cheated them. In a nation in which family values are at the top of the list and hard work is prized, we feel we have to stand with them."
Speaking publicly will not place the families in danger, because they will have mounted a legal challenge with the help of the congregations. That puts deportation proceedings on hold, Brostrum said.
The coalition is guarding the identity of one family whose case is to be heard in the Ninth District Court of Appeals in about two weeks, as well as the name of the Concord church providing sanctuary.
"Those who willfully violate U.S. immigration laws face the consequences of their actions," says a prepared statement issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It did not address religious sanctuary directly.
But ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said many of the people targeted for deportation received notices and ignored them.
Others "have been litigating for years," she said. "They've had abundant access to due process."
Contra Costa faith leaders say residents like Norma Mejia are more typical of those who run afoul of immigration laws.
Mejia's husband was on his way home from work when agents arrested him with a deportation order. The Richmond man was transported to a federal detention center in Eloy, Ariz. For two weeks, his wife, who was born in the United States, did not know where he was.
"I got him back but it cost me a lot," she said. "Now, he just works and comes home. He feels afraid and sad."
In another case, a 22-year resident applied for an update to his green card and found himself arrested instead, Brostrum said.
This sanctuary movement differs from the movement of the 1980s, when churches housed asylum seekers from El Salvador and other Latin American countries where juntas routinely suppressed human rights.
"In that case, people were leaving their countries in fear for their lives," Been said. "Now we have people who have been here for 22 years."
Religious leaders have organized and played an increasingly vocal role in the debate over immigration.
Sojourners, a national faith-based advocacy organization, has launched a campaign to draw attention to the plight of tomato pickers, whose wages have not risen in 30 years, and whose working conditions are so severe the U.S. Department of Justice prosecuted growers for slavery conditions five times since 1997.
More than 30 priests, pastors, imams and rabbis gathered at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles in May to ask lawmakers to map a feasible path to citizenship. They also announced their intention to shelter two Central American men from deportation.
Members of the Contra Costa Interfaith Supporting Committee in May testified before a Senate committee about deportation's devastating effects on residents, including the Mejias.
Rebecca Rosen Lum covers religion. Reach her at 925-977-8506 or rrosenlum@cctimes.com.
To locate a participating religious congregation, call Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice at 510-299-2364 or e-mail info@clueca.org.

Thank this man for the gifts of fantasy drafts, advanced scoring and novelty trophies. Cody Pickens for ESPN The Magazine
FORTY-NINE YEARS AGO, an Oakland bar manager named Andrew Mousalimas made George Blanda the first pick in fantasy football history. And with that selection, the first draft-day regret was born. Many of the originals of the Greater Oakland Professional Pigskin Prognosticators League (GOPPPL) have passed away over the years or long since hung up
their GM caps -- but not Mousalimas. He spent decades serving up the gospel of fantasy football at his Bay Area bar, the Kings X. Now, as Mousalimas gets set to tackle his 50th -- and final -- fantasy season, he shares the wisdom he has collected from five decades' worth of bad picks, sketchy trades and high times.
LESSON 1: QUIT WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD
I'll be 88 in December. I mean, Jesus Christ, that's enough. That's 50 years of drafting. You get tired, honest to god. No one has played as many fantasy seasons, not even close. I had my son, my son-in-law and now my grandson as partners, but god almighty, I'm quitting. I'm telling everyone at the draft this year that this is it. But I'll miss it, because I've had some good times.
LESSON 2: BOREDOM IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION
Bill Winkenbach started fantasy football, no question about it. Wink was a millionaire and a minority owner of the Oakland Raiders. At the time, I managed a bar in downtown Oakland called the Lamppost. That's where I met Scotty Stirling, a beat writer for the Oakland Tribune. Back in the early '60s, when the Raiders would go out East to play Buffalo, Boston and New York, they'd stay there the whole 16 to 18 days. At the tail end of a trip in 1962, Wink was holed up in a hotel with Bill Tunnell, the Raiders' public relations director, and Scotty. It was kind of a dreary night, so they thought up this fantasy football idea, and that's how the GOPPPL got started. To be eligible for the league, you had to be either affiliated with the Raiders or have purchased or sold a certain number of season tickets. At the Lamppost, we had something like 125 season tickets. So Scotty calls me up and says, "I think we've got something going. Come on down, you'll enjoy it." We ended up as partners in the league.
LESSON 3: NEVER PASS ON JIM BROWN
Our first fantasy draft took place in Wink's rumpus room, and we didn't know what the hell was going on. There were pretty simple rules, basically just points for touchdowns and field goals. You could take players from the AFL and NFL; it was before the merger. Scotty and I had the first pick, and our decision was between George Blanda and Jim Brown. Jim Brown, Christ, he was outstanding. My god, he would just go crazy on defenses. But in the old AFL, they were throwing the hell out of the ball, so we took Blanda, and by the end of the draft, we thought we had a hell of a team. But even though Blanda did end up throwing a lot of passes, the second, third and fourth quarterbacks were pretty close. But Jim Brown was overwhelming! We finished last. So we became the first guys to have our names inscribed on the Dunce Trophy -- it was a football with a dunce helmet on top.
Every Monday at 3 a.m., Mousalimas would grab the early edition of the Oakland Tribune and start scoring his divisions. It'd take him until dawn to finish. Cody Pickens for ESPN The Magazine
LESSON 4: RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN
I opened up my own bar in Oakland in 1968 called the Kings X and decided to start a fantasy football league in the bar in 1971. I'll
be honest with you, in all humility, I think the Kings X is what really perpetuated it in the Bay Area. No question, Wink was the godfather. The only trouble with Wink was that he didn't want to make any changes to the rules. He was stubborn as hell. Damn, he was stubborn. In the GOPPPL, a return touchdown was 250 points and a receiving touchdown was 25 points. So I formed a rules committee to update the game. We were the first ones to put in a yardage rule. You had guys like Pete Banaszak, who would carry the ball four or five times and score two to three touchdowns from the 1-yard line, while you had other guys like O.J., who was running wild, but he wasn't scoring, so he wasn't getting any points. We fixed that.
LESSON 5: FANTASY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
Back then, if you wanted to make lineup changes, you had to come into the bar in person by 9 o'clock Friday night. I'll tell you, that bar was jam-packed Friday night, and people told us that was the most fun time. The guys in first place would be jive-assing and razzing the guys in last all night long. We used to have a sign: "$13.75 -- breakfast, bus and a ticket to the Raiders." My wife gave our customers a hell of a breakfast. So Sunday morning, I'd have as many as four buses going to the Raiders games. Then other people would sit there because we were able to bootleg the games. Monday for lunch, it'd be jammed because I had a temporary score sheet at the bar, and everyone would come in and check for mistakes. Then for Monday Night Football, the place is jammed. Tuesday again at lunch, I'd have the final scores up on the boards. By 1973, I had so many people who wanted to join that I had to add two more divisions. A few years later, I had more than 200 people playing.
LESSON 6: READ THE OBITUARIES BEFORE DRAFTING
It was difficult to research players in those days. For years, we wrote letters to NBC and CBS. We called them up, begged them to give us the names of the people who were scoring. They refused! Then I'd call newspapers up and ask the sports writers about certain players, and they wouldn't give me the information; they thought we were bookies. We had one magazine that we used: Street & Smith's. That was the bible. But one time I had two of my Sicilian friends who didn't do much research. On the night we were drafting, they picked J.V. Cain from the Cardinals. All of a sudden, everyone starts laughing. My two buddies ask me, "What the hell are they laughing about?" "Well, J.V. Cain died two weeks ago."
LESSON 7: NO DUMB DEED GOES UNPUNISHED
We used to have an awards night at the end of the season -- a sit-down banquet with almost 200 people. I'd dress up, everyone would give speeches, but beforehand we'd go out and buy a unique award for every franchise. Sixty franchises! So one guy got a jersey with the number 00 on the back -- Jim Otto's jersey -- because one weekend he didn't score any points. Zero! And then for the guys who drafted J.V. Cain? We got them a little casket.
LESSON 8: SOME PICKS WILL FOREVER HAUNT YOU
One day, George Blanda comes into the Kings X. He was only about three years younger than I was, so I said, "George, nice to see you, nice to see someone like you, because you and I are about the same age." Oh, he got upset, he got so upset with me. "What do you mean I'm the same age? What are you talking about?" What was I supposed to do? I backed away. I never told him he helped me finish in last place.
LESSON 9: ELIGIBILITY MAKES THE MAN
I remember a player named Vic Washington. They listed him as a receiver/running back, but we all knew he was going to play RB -- a huge edge. We had booked a banquet room at a restaurant for our draft, but they just gave us the back end of the dining room. So about the fourth round, I draft Washington as a receiver. One of my buddies went crazy: "You MF!" Everyone in the restaurant dropped their food. There were a bunch of old folks in there, and I think a few of them had a heart attack. Three weeks later, the place closed. I told my buddy, "I think you were responsible for it."
LESSON 10: FANTASY DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE
Listen, I love the ladies, but I would not let them participate in the draft. I felt that this was a man's night out. But the ladies got all upset. A good friend of mine, Albert Santini, said, "You know, Andy, why don't you start an all-ladies division?" I think his wife had talked to him. I said, "That sounds like a good idea," and we called it the Queens Division. And you know what? The ladies turned out to be the most loyal of the whole group. I started them in '80, and five of the original divisions are still drafting today.
LESSON 11: DRAFT AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT
Santini was the godfather of the ladies division, so I had him be moderator of their first draft. So I'm all the way in another part of the room, and all of a sudden the girls started to scream. I look over to see him flop over and grab his chest; he has a heart attack! We had to get the ambulance for him! But of course we had to finish the draft. So I asked the ladies, "Do you want to continue?" "Oh yeah, we want to continue!"
LESSON 12: EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN
I always used to draft running backs early and wide receivers late, but things have changed the past few years. You've got these great receivers, and the running backs all split carries. The QBs throw the hell out of the ball. So this year I'm thinking about going quarterback first, and I haven't done that since Blanda!

It is a simple straightforward fact that you need to make certain you are covered by a great Health Insurance policy. With this being understood you would definitely think a greater number of people would obtain Health Insurance in the world today. You should contemplate acquiring Health Insurance today if you really do not have coverage. There are actually many choices for acquiring a rate that you are able to easily afford.
It truly is wild just how much the internet has changed the face of Health Insurance purchasing. There is no better technique then using the net to shop for insurance coverage in Phoenix, AZ. If you search almost any insurance term you can come across places where you can obtain multiple insurance quotes. The methods offered nowadays are just mind blowing.
The majority of sites are employing the exact same techniques to track down your Health Insurance quote. Step 1 is going to be filling in an insurance quote form with your own significant information and facts. The actual Health Insurance form will then be electronically sent to local insurance agents in Arizona. The content is then structured into a estimate specially for your scenario.
This process flows much smoother if you give all of the information demanded. When the insurance brokers lack the right info your quotes will likely be way off. Precision is always important when filling out online insurance coverage quote forms as the providers quoting you will email you with much more precise quotes with the correct information and facts from you and your family. Folks are often weary with regards to offering their social security number up nowadays, but you must bear in mind it is going to be essential before most Health Insurance agents can provide you with your finalized quote on Health Insurance.

Mercury History: Henry Ford adopted the Mercury brand in 1939 to compete with the General Motors Buick but most models were based on other Ford models. Mercury became a part of the Lincoln division in 1945 and adopted the Lincoln platform in 1949, the year Mercury's also became know as "Lead Sleds". Mercury's heyday was in the 1950's but it was considered a spin off of Fords, and then Lincolns, until the early 1970s when the Cougar and Marquis were introduced. Sales peaked in 1978 when almost 600,000 units were sold but by the 1980s the Mercury had lost its uniqueness again and the image began to suffer. Ford tried to revive the Mercury lineup in the 1990s with front-wheel drive, an import called the "Merkur" and a mini van but less than 100,000 units were sold in 2010. Ford dropped Mercury from the Lincoln division the following year.
The first Mercury logo was a head profile of the Roman god Mercury. From the 1960s to the 1980s the Cougar became the logo amid a series of cat-named models followed. Some of the upper end models adopted the Lincoln diamond logo.

Wayback Wednesday: No more teachers, no more bucks
By Philissa Cramer Sep 24, 2008, 7:47pm EDT
In her response to the mayor's announcement of a first round of economy-induced budget cuts, Randi Weingarten cautioned, "We must not repeat the mistakes of the 1970s when the city cut education so deeply that it took our school system decades to recover." What happened to the city's schools in the 1970s?
By the middle of the decade, worsening budget conditions forced the school system to adopt a budget that the Board of Education president warned would be "educationally irresponsible and probably illegal." Indeed, in the fall of 1975 students returned to schools with huge classes, fewer teachers, and dramatically scaled down sports and activities programs.
Slashing nearly $50 million from a nearly $2 billion budget, the 1975 budget reflected a 2.5 percent cut, the same proportion the mayor is now asking the DOE to cut. And $2 billion in 1975 dollars is about $7.5 billion in today's dollars — almost exactly what the DOE currently receives from the city.
The whole article is after the jump. Look for more on 1970's budget cuts to city schools in next week's Wayback Wednesday.
As for last week's Wayback Wednesday challenge, commenters who guessed dates in the 1910's for a report detailing inefficiency and low test score gains in the schools were right: the date was March 11, 1913.

RPG Group invests $1 million venturing into senior care e-commerce
The venture-capital arm of the tyres to transmissions tower conglomerate has put in $1 million in Seniority, an online portal that sells elderly-care products to senior citizens
Megha Mandavia
India's takeover pioneer, the RPG Group, has begun its journey into new-age Web commerce through an investment in old age-senior-care.
The venture-capital arm of the tyres to transmissions tower conglomerate has put in $1 million in Seniority, an online portal that sells elderly-care products to senior citizens. The investment reflects the expanding market for senior-care products in an ostensibly young country where the extended family remains the bedrock of society, but with increasing financial independence for the superannuated.
An Indian government report last year said that the percentage share of people aged above 60 was 8.6%, or about 10.4 crore people in 2011, up from to 5.6%, or 7.66 crore, elderly people in 2001. Market research shows that a significant number of seniors today are independent, financially stable, well-travelled, socially connected, and have a fairly good idea of how they want to spend their lives after retirement.
"Seniority is an innovative concept promoted by RPG Ventures that seeks to address the growing lifestyle needs of the older generation. We are excited by the market and its unique facets. It is a highly discerning and demanding market that requires products that must have immense practical application and ease of use," said RPG Enterprises Chairman Harsh Goenka.
RPG Ventures pegs the elderly care addressable market at about $1 billion in India. It owns a majority stake in Seniority, while the rest is owned by the two founders – Ayush Agrawal and Tapan Mishra. It may look to raise money from external investors sometime in the second half of calendar year 2018.
"The market is huge and extremely underserved. The 60-plus demographic is the fastest growing. While people think of India as a young country, it is also rapidly ageing. The age group is increasingly Internet savvy and comfortable buying products online," said Co-founder Ayush Agrawal.
Other similar startups in the space are Old is Gold, BeautifulYears, Senior Shelf and Seniorworld.
The investment is part of RPG Group's strategy to use RPG Ventures to incubate and build new businesses. Seniority, launched in February, sells about 200-250 products a day at Rs. 1,500 on an average, RPG said, bringing its total gross merchandise value to about Rs. 1 crore a month.
"The idea is basically that once we get to a certain size and scale, we would look to partner with other investors to build Seniority. It would be a typical financial investor who belongs in a traditional venture capital, private equity community. We would think about it a year down the line... to go out on the road," said Kunjan Chikhlikar, head at RPG Ventures. He had earlier worked with private equity funds such as Fidelity Growth Partners India, Lighthouse Funds and IDFC Private Equity.
Seniority currently imports most of its 3,000 products, but plans to start a private label soon by manufacturing some of these in-house, said co-founder Tapan Mishra. These products will also be sold on other ecommerce portals such as Amazon and Flipkart. It may also expand its offline presence through stores in hospitals and retirement communities.
RPG Ventures is building a portfolio of startups around healthcare, cyber security, medical devices and artificial intelligence. It has invested $1 million each in some of these startups already.
"The purpose of RPG Ventures is to build futuristic businesses for the group. A lot of these businesses are not part of the group's current portfolio. The idea is to think out a decade or two... which would be the most interesting businesses," said Chikhlikar.

Whew. Okay, having failed by more than 10, Gorillon is bound and helpless...for now!
Okay, so he's in there through the round.
Gorillon is bound and helpless. He also has cover from the snare, since it doesn't have Transparent.
Okay, he'll damage the snare, but not break out this round.
Should be DC 28 Toughness and DC 19 Fortitude, Reflex saves withstanding.
Do I need to roll since he's helpless?
Okay, that drains his Impervious 7 first, then 5 regular Tou.
Gizmo and Godiva, add an HP to your current roster from the Fiat.
He's gonna All-Out Attack Jade Dragon.This will drop his Defense to 13 (meaning you have to hit or get above 13 to hit him), but add +5 to his Attack.
Give me a DC 22 Reflex save, Godiva.
Sonic Wail; All-Out Attack 5, Power Attack 5. (1d20+8=14) DC 15 + 18 + 5 = 38.
Okay, he is stunned and knocked back 189 miles.

Family Law Corner: Custody Chaos
Author: Sarah Van Voorhis & Ariel Sosna
Publication: The Bar Association of San Francisco Bulletin Volume 5, Number 10
Even living under a rock wouldn't be enough to avoid the controversy between Mel Gibson and his girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva. The audio tapes alleged to be Gibson have been all over the internet and have been the subject of more than a few comic
A little over a year ago, Gibson's wife filed for divorce and shortly thereafter he announced that he was having a child with Grigorieva. According to various reports, during pregnancy, Grigorieva signed a cohabitation agreement which bars her from bringing any claim under In re Marriage of Marvin (1976) 18 Cal.3d 660. A Marvin action allows one half of a cohabitating couple to bring suit based on violation of an express or implied contract, basically allowing unmarried cohabitators financial recovery. The parties also reportedly have an agreement on custody, though the gossip sites are split on when this agreement was reached (i.e. before the birth of their child or around the time of their split). What is agreed is that shortly after implementing this agreement, Gibson filed for a restraining order against Grigorieva restricting her from releasing "certain information," according to the Huffington Post. Around the same time, tapes purporting to be Gibson yelling at Grigorieva were released. Finally, Grigorieva requested a restraining order based on an incident where she alleges Gibson hit her. Gibson is now being investigated by the District Attorney and child protective services. Grigorieva is seeking supervised visitation and child support. Their family court judge has made a temporary order that the co-parenting agreement will be followed, which means Gibson continues to have unsupervised visitation with their daughter.
The case raises a number of issues regarding secretly recorded telephone calls. Recording calls without the consent of all parties is prohibited and punishable by fine (Penal Code §632 and Flanagan v. Flanagan (2002) 27 Cal.4th 766). However, a judge issuing a temporary restraining order may give a person the right to record calls. It remains to be seen if Grigorieva recorded the calls or had the right to do so.
The outcome of the domestic violence restraining order will pose the most problems for Gibson. If it is found that there are grounds for a permanent restraining order, under Family Code §3011, there is a rebuttable presumption that joint custody of a child is detrimental to the best interests of the child. This would mean that Gibson would face an uphill battle in gaining more custodial time with their daughter.

The Palm Cabaret and Bar (sometimes abbreviated as The Palm) is a bar and performance venue in Zona Romántica, Puerto Vallarta, in the Mexican state of Jalisco.

Description

The venue hosts a variety of comedy, music, and theater acts. According to Frommer's, "In 2013, the Palm underwent a much needed renovation and now, finally, the venue is as good as the performers (heck, even the bathrooms are clean). The nightly show uses performers from across the Americas ... and covers a broad array of genres from drag acts (such as Damn Edna) to musical groups, like Well Strung, classical musicians who also play Lady Gaga. There are two shows nightly, and sometimes a matinee. The crowd is mostly gay, but straights won't feel out of place if they come (the management and patrons are a tolerant bunch)."

History
The venue was established in 1999. Gustavo Gomez is a co-owner.

Coco Peru, Mama Tits, Spencer Day, and Well-Strung have performed at the venue. Shows have included:

 Back to Basics
 Beginnings
 The Boy Band Project
 Dueling Drag Divas
 I Feel Love, a tribute to Sam Smith
 I Want It All: The Freddie Mercury Story
 MexiQueer
 Queen Live Forever, a tribute to Queen
 This Is Gaga, a tribute to Lady Gaga

Reception
Frommer's has rated the venue 2 out of 3 stars.
