SPIRITED THINKING SINCE 1888

Travel & Pilgrimage
The estimated reading time is 3 minutes
If Catholics are not faithful to doctrine, we will face Anglican-style divisions
Fr Alexander Lucie-Smith
The Church is in a full-blown civil war over doctrine, as Dan Hitchens observed earlier this week in a carefully argued and fully evidenced article. Coincidentally, the Church of England's doctrinal civil war has taken a new turn at the latest sitting of the General Synod, with heated debates over same-sex relationships. Michael Fabricant MP suggests in the Telegraph that Anglicans should jettison their "conservative" wing. In the same newspaper, the devout and passionate Andrea Minichiello Williams makes a convincing case for Christian tradition.
The Williams article makes one very important point: "The Church can't give its blessing to same-sex marriages when its sole source of authority does not." She is completely correct to pinpoint the question of authority as crucial. If anyone is proposing change, one must ask by what authority do they act? When a change cannot be backed up by Scripture (crucial for all Christians) and by Tradition and the Magisterium (especially crucial for Catholics), then there can be no presumption that change is right. When Scripture, Tradition and Magisterium are not merely not silent on the matter, but explicitly forbid what is being proposed, then the matter is even more clear-cut.
This is not "fundamentalism", a charge often levelled at people like Andrea Minichiello Williams. If the Scriptural foundation of the Church's teaching – any Church's teaching – is removed – then it follows logically that no teaching is to be regarded as absolute, and thus no teaching is to be regarded as worthy of belief, for all teachings are from now on, in theory at least, open to radical revision.
If we look at the sort of Church that Michael Fabricant is envisioning, it is a Church without any foundation at all, except the vagaries of public opinion. Contrary to what he thinks, such a Church would simply fade away. It would, for a moment, seem terribly up to date, but that would last merely a few years. It would come to look increasingly desperate as it struggled to keep up with every vagary of public opinion, which is hardly coherent and ever fluctuating.
Catholics cannot be smug about this, for the same pressures that afflict the Anglicans are now being brought to bear on us. Those who are proposing change need to be confronted with the question of authority and challenged to show us where in Scripture, where in the Magisterium, and where in the Tradition is there anything that can be used to justify communion for those living in irregular unions. They would have a hard task to find any useful evidence for their position. Moreover, they have advanced no argument of merit, as far as I can see, that suggests that change in this matter is desirable or necessary.
Meanwhile, Catholics should look at the Church of England, for what is happening there today represents our future too unless we are not merely careful, but faithful to what we have received. The Anglican civil war began at the Lambeth Conference of 1930. Ours is just beginning, and will, perhaps, run for many a year yet.

At Al the Vecchio Braciere we are passionate about meat and we want to offer it to our customers in the best possible way! The grill is in fact one of our best strengths, because it allows us to cook the meat in a simple way and to give it a unique taste.
The experience of Luciano in the butchery has made all this possible: it is important to know the characteristics of each type of meat, and know the cooking times to obtain an exceptional result.
more valuable and coming from exclusively Italian pastures, with the exception of the Tomahawk Steak, of Irish origin.
from Italian beef, less fat and more succulent, up to pork, without forgetting the Fiorentina, typical Tuscan beefsteak.
Steak is usually cut perpendicular to the muscles of the animal in order to make the meat tender. Ours is a Cinta Senese steak, breed of pigs reared in Tuscany.
Located in the part of the chest, they are a very tasty and appreciated cut of meat. Used for the typical Tuscan Rosticciana, flavored with various spices.
Characterized by the balance between the lean and fat meat, it is located between the head and the loin of the pig. Appreciated a lot because it is tender and tasty.
It is a very rare cut of Irish beef and is obtained from the front of the loin. It is a huge steak (hence the name "Beefsteak of Brontosaurus"); the meat is tender and juicy and grilled cooking enhances its taste to the maximum.
Florentine steak is a classic of Tuscan cuisine, derived from the great bovine breed of Vitellone (a very big veal). The cut is the loin, from the lower half of the back: the vertebral column, which represents the characteristic central T-bone, is inevitable.
Lean and tasty meat, rich in protein and low in fat.
The steak with the characteristic central T-bone, which divides the fillet and the sirloin, a cut of meat typical of Tuscan cuisine. Characterized by cooking at a high temperature, the final appearance will be that of a well-cooked meat and with the crust on the outside, but a bright and juicy red inside.
A delicious and rich cut of pulp, for the most refined palates.
Rosticciana, sausage, shin and scamerita: various tasty cuts for pork lovers.
For those who want to taste different meats and know the goodness of a barbecue able to satisfy any type of palate.
A cut that looks curious and inviting, especially given by the long bone (about 30 cm), extremely tasty and soft. A huge meat dish for the most insatiable!

We recently had the privilege to review Eclectic Foundations Language Arts Level A from Eclectic Foundations. Level A is geared towards K-1st grade. I was able to review this with my 4 year old preschooler. She won't be age eligible in the public school system to start Kindergarten until the fall of 2018 but she is advanced in several areas and she did pretty well with this curriculum. I said that so you would realize she is underage for this but was still quite able to complete most of the assignments and really enjoyed it!
This curriculum is available in either print or download form. Their print prices are going up soon so you may want to take advantage of the lower pricing by ordering soon if you choose to try this out. The student workbook is designed to be consumable as are the word cards. The word cards are also available as a FREE download from their site if you choose to do that. The print items available are the Teacher's Guide, Student Workbook, and Appendixes and Word Cards (McGuffey Flashcards). The download version includes each one of the print items. The program uses McGuffey's Eclectic Primer which is available as a free download and the link is available on their site.
The curriculum is designed to be used four days a week and we used it as suggested. The Teacher's Guide walks you through each short lesson step by step. It is really a turnkey program that requires no prep work. I like that! My little one loved doing her "lessons." Especially when play doh was involved!!
Each lesson also includes a Mother Goose rhyme from the 1916 version.
The Eclectic Primer is not even used until the second half of the program. Of course my little one isn't reading yet, but as I stated, the beginning lessons are perfect for her and a good review for what she knows and a challenge for what she has yet to learn.
The general format for the lesson is to review the alphabet (sing the alphabet song), work on letter recognition, work on the Start With? Game, and then recite the Mother Goose rhyme at the end. Other lesson include different variations. Sometimes you will work on word sounds, sometimes "where is the sound" of the letter (beginning, middle, end of word), mazes following the letter or circling the letter in a reading selection. You can easily complete a lesson within 20 minutes if not less depending on what is covered for the day.
My little one had a lot of fun with the Start With? Game even though she seemed to have trouble in this area understanding what I was asking. If a word from the list given to you in the Teacher's Guide "starts with" the letter of the day you are supposed to point to the smiley face. If it DOES NOT "start with" the letter you are supposed to point to the sad face.
We are really enjoying this curriculum and I would definitely recommend you check this out. They currently only have up through LEVEL C (4th grade) available, but LEVEL D (5th-6th grade) is scheduled to be out April 2017. They list all the way to LEVEL I (9th grade to college) on their website so I am excited that my older one will soon be able to try this out.
You can connect with Eclectic Foundations through their website or on Facebook.

Airman 1st Class Cosette Dahlvang, left, 552nd Maintenance Group aircraft parts store apprentice, and Airman 1st Class Karie Mees, 72nd Security Forces Squadron installation entry controller, talk to each other at the Mickey Mantle stop for the Oklahoma City Streetcar during a tour of downtown on March 8. Dahlvang and Mees were taking part in Tinker Air Force Base's First Term Airmen Center special tour through a partnership with the base and the OKC Convention and Visitors Bureau which brings the military and civilian communities closer together.
Master Sgt. Andre Thomas, First Term Airmen Course career assistance advisor, explained the program pairs a group of Airmen who are about to complete the course up for a day with the OKC Convention and Visitors Bureau. It came about by asking, "How do we improve the FTAC program, make it fun and also connect the Airmen to our community?" he said.
Like many big cities surrounding military bases, there are often two distinct communities and getting the two to mix and support each other can be a challenge. While the city's downtown area is only about nine miles away from the base, the sprawling downtown area isn't easily accessible to Airmen without cars. Exacerbating the problem for many years has been a lack of parking and simple transportation throughout the various downtown districts.
"This program has changed the first impression of Airmen because they have an opportunity to see what the community has to offer," Master Sgt. Debbie Jackson, FTAC CAA said.
The new partnership leverages the newly functional downtown Streetcar system run by Embark, which takes riders on two routes throughout downtown at reasonable costs. In fact, the OKC Streetcar tour is free for the day with passes courtesy of the Embark and the OKC Convention and Visitors Bureau. A built-in bonus comes in the form of a tour guide with Cristy Ksepka, OKCCVB certified tourism ambassador, who meets the group in the morning to begin the tour and immediately starts to bring the Airmen 'home' to OKC by telling stories and revealing secrets.
So why are these 'secrets' so important for new Airmen to know? "I bring them down there to show the (free parking) lot that not everyone knows about (near Bass Pro Shop)," Ksepka said. There's also the Centennial Land Run monument nearby which gives her a chance to tell the story of Oklahoma and Oklahoma City by talking about that monumental event. People from other states may not understand how our state was formed or that both Oklahoma and Oklahoma City was settled in one day. "There was a boom of a cannon on April 22, 1889, that began all this," she said.
Airmen, Career Assistance Advisors and their tour guide are reflected in the large pool which is the center of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing memorial site in downtown Oklahoma City during a special tour March 8. Back row from left, Airmen 1st Class Spencer Hamilton, Cole Frierdich, Joshua Cooper, Richard Swanson, Christian Esquivel and Willblas Coriano-Cotto. Front row from left, Master Sgts. Andre Thomas Jr. and Debbie Jackson, FTAC Career Assistance Advisors; Airmen 1st Class Zachary Therrien, Jeremy Weaver, Brandon Warren, Cosette Dahlvang, Karie Mees, Johnathan Doctor, Ribert Nielsen and Certifed Tourism Ambassador Cristy Ksepka.
The tour quickly progresses to the Bricktown area where the newly arrived Airmen are introduced to the Harkin movie theater, restaurants, OKC Dodgers minor league baseball stadium and the Bricktown canal. While waiting near the baseball stadium, they learn about the Streetcar system, how to purchase tickets and what they can expect when traveling downtown for events.
They board the Streetcar at Mickey Mantle Plaza to begin the trip uptown toward Automobile Alley while Ksepka points out historic sites, landmarks and continues telling the story of the town. "If you're going to visit downtown OKC, downtown, Bricktown, the business district, it's one of the greatest ways to see the whole thing in one swoop," Ksepka said.
The group then stops at the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum to learn about the 1995 Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing, the lives lost and are able to tour the grounds. "If there's one thing you are going to see in the city it has to be the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum or at least the grounds," Krepka said. "When we get to the memorial stop, we talk about the second boom that changed Oklahoma City — April 19, 1995, at 9:02 a.m." Standing next to the large reflecting pool, the group sees and understands the symbolism of the rows of empty chairs and why this is important to the city, its culture and how the military was impacted by loss of life and by participating in the rescue and recovery efforts.
Airmen 1st Class Christian Esquivel and Joshua Cooper look at the names of those who died in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing as they learn about the tragic event during Tinker Air Force Base's First Term Airmen Center tour of downtown Oklahoma City on March 8. Rows of large and small chairs, representing adults and children killed, stand in memory of the 168 people who died on April 19, 1995.
The Streetcar ride continues through the downtown area with the next stop back in Bricktown for lunch at the Bricktown Brewery restaurant. Being in a venue like Bricktown Brewery and overlooking the area from the second floor windows provided a relaxed atmosphere intended for a 'chat with the Chief' opportunity. Multiple Chief Master Sgts. from Tinker joined the tour for lunch to learn about the new Airmen, pass along their thoughts and guidance and learn a bit about the downtown area themselves.
The tour ended with a walk along the Bricktown Canal combined with further information and discussions about what the area has to offer. The Career Assistance Advisors were key players in answering questions and letting the Airmen know the great things Oklahoma and Oklahoma City have to offer them and their families.
"In the past, as Senior NCOs and supervisors, we tell Airmen to get out, do things and see what the community has to offer, but we don't show them. The downtown tour is a great example of the unique partnership between Tinker AFB and the community," Master Sgt. Jackson said.
Because of the new partnership between the base and Oklahoma City, there are dozens of new Airmen taking the ride downtown each month. The connections to the community grows with each positive, first impression.

As a child of the late 90s and early 2000s, I have an affinity for the One Piece franchise, and as a teenager of the mid to late 2000s, I am very aware of Dynasty Warriors. Neither are properties I particularly love, but I've dabbled enough in both to say I at least enjoy them. Unfortunately, when you bring them together in a crossover series, it doesn't quite work. By stripping away all the interesting pieces of Koei Tecmo's biggest franchise and focusing way too heavily on the a story that's been told far too many times in videogames, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 is a time–waster with very little to offer aside from senseless button mashing.
It's really disheartening to play another sub–par One Piece game. The premise should translate easily—it's a show about pirates featuring a main character with stretchy limbs! But the Dynasty Warriors gameplay only compliments the cast's fighting style, while leaving out the feeling of exploration and wonder that One Piece is known for. Players press square through hordes of enemies, occasionally pressing triangle to keep things fresh and interesting. Despite its repetition, each attack managed to feel satisfying as I fought my way through thousands of unnamed enemies who went to the Empire's Shooting Academy. Their accuracy is actually laughable. At one point, I did not move while an enemy tried to attack. He missed every shot and didn't make a dent in my health bar. There is never a sense of danger unless you're in a boss battle; even when you're surrounded, you'll hardly take any damage. Enemies should be part of the story.Even if they're insignificant, they serve a purpose; they're meant to hurt you, not work as fodder to make it a little more time consuming to get to point B. If that's all they are, then there's a serious problem. The experience is made better with multiplayer, though. All the problems still exist, but there are a ton of playable characters, and if you're with a friend, you tend to focus less on why the game isn't working.
But there's more to a Dynasty Warriors game than senseless button mashing. For instance, the marriage system that's stuck with the series for a long time changes the way the entire game plays out. It makes the game feel more fluid. Hyrule Warriors did a great job of adding a splash of Zelda–style puzzle solving to keep the game interesting throughout the entire experience. Pirate Warriors, though, doesn't really bring anything;it just exists. Its big contribution is the ability to call on a comrade to jump in to aid you to make a super move. The concept is cool and it works well to clear an area, but it's not a game–changer. You're just dropped in a map, fighting hordes of enemies while trying to get to a plot point to watch a cutscene. Then, you'll fight across the map again for a boss battle and another cutscene. I get that One Piece has over a decade and a half of material and the manga has an even longer run, so there is a lot of content to re-create, but it would be nice to actually play an original story set within the world instead of a streamlined version of Monkey D. Luffy and friends on their adventure to the Grand Line. But the cutscenes were handled interestingly by keeping comic strip–style conversations and Japanese voice work. Much like the entire game, they're gorgeous to look at, but their frequent interruptions became more of a hassle than anything. It was just annoying, and most of all, not fun.
And that's the thing that stays with me when I think about my time playing this game. It's just not fun. Sure, it's beautiful, but the game is repetitive, cutscenes break its flow, and there isn't an original concept found in the entire game. The best parts of either franchise in this crossover were stripped away and we're left with a Frankenstein monster that only works in theory. As someone who enjoys both Dynasty Warriors and One Piece, I expected a lot more from this title and it definitely disappointed.
I have an affinity for the One Piece franchise, and as a teenager of the mid to late 2000s, I am very aware of Dynasty Warriors.

Q: Using Firebase as backend db for mobile app Using Firebase as DB for the app only.
I would like to use Firebase to store data that is global for all users. User authentication is not required to access those data.
So, all user's will be able to access same data. For example "news articles" are same for all users. Users don't need to authenticate to access the news.
How can I setup android application to access Firebase data securely for all users?
By "securely", I mean I don't want to bundle credentials to access the DB with the app. Otherwise, anybody can access the data and wipe it or corrupt it.
Based on quick investigation, I found there might be 2 ways:

*

*Firebase REST API
Using Firebase REST API and service account token to access the Firebase data.

*Firebase Auth
Use one of the auth schema. For example use email & password auth or custom auth with custom token.
I would assume both of them require me to bundle the secret password or token with the application.
Has anybody designed app with such use-case? Any pointers would be appreciated.

A: Firebase Authentication doesn't require any bundling of anything.  Your users provide their own credentials.  Google Play services on the device provides the security that only your app signed with your signing key may receive the token that authorizes the users to perform the actions on the data that you decide through security rules.

*Entity Involvement

However, when I look at the unzipped package retrieved via sfdx force:mdapi:retrieve, there appears to only be metadata for one of those objects, along with the standard account object (which we've relabeled 'Relationship'):

This naturally follows through to the next step, when I convert the retrieved package with sfdx force:mdapi:convert to my SFDX project. Finally, when I try to push my SFDX package to a new scratch org, I get the following errors:

I'm not sure why there's an error about Entity 'LLC_BI__Loan__c' not found, since that's the one object that was retrieved. But my concern is mainly with not being able to pull the full set of components I need to make an SFDX project, using the method SF themselves prescribe here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_dev.meta/sfdx_dev/sfdx_dev_ws_retrieve_unman_pack.htm

A: You can :

*

*generate the package.xml of your whole sandbox using https://packagebuilder.herokuapp.com/

*use force:mdapi:retrieve with the generated package.xml in a temp folder

*copy paste the missing metadatas into your unmanaged package retrieve folder
Then, when you will need to deploy to another org, if you don't need to deploy the whole SFDX project in an org (Profiles etc ...) , but only the content of a package.xml file, you can use command sfdx essentials:filter-metadatas of sfdx plugin https://github.com/nvuillam/sfdx-essentials

When it comes to choosing an engagement ring, there are many things to consider; the style, the type of diamond or gemstone and your budget, are just a few. What sits at the top of your individual list is a personal choice but one of the biggest growing trends amongst ethically conscious couples is the origin of their diamond. More and more couples are taking into consideration both the human and the environmental impact of their purchase.
In recent years there has been increasing awareness of the negative impact the diamond industry has had on struggling communities in Africa and alike. Thankfully, there have been strict guidelines put in place by the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme to govern the diamond industry and account for where each individual stone has come from. To read more about the Kimberley Process agreement visit here.
It is not only the humanitarian responsibility that the diamond industry has a flawed history of but also the environmental impact. As a result, the increasing accessibility of Canadian diamonds comes as a welcome change to the socially and ethically conscious bride and groom.
When purchasing a Canadian diamond, you can take peace of mind in the knowledge that they are conflict-free, ethical diamonds. Canada was instrumental in the creation of the Kimberly Process and was one of the first countries to sign up to the progressive agreement.
In addition to the above, the Canadian Diamond Code of Conduct goes beyond the Kimberly Process agreement. Canadian diamonds are mined in accordance with the guidelines of sustainable development and are mined to the highest environmental standards in the world. The Canadian Diamond Code of Conduct ensures that Canadian diamonds adhere to a minimum standard based on records and chains of origin which validate their authenticity.
Having the code in place means that Canadian Diamonds can always be traced from consumer to the original source.
One of the largest mines in Canada, the Diavik Mine in the Northwest Territories, is committed to ensuring that no damage is done to the surrounding water systems. These provide habitat for wildlife, particularly the Caribou. Rio Tinto works with the local indigenous communities to draw on their knowledge of how to preserve the nearby environment and waterways. Another important initiative is enlisting the help of Canadian Universities to monitor and report on any potential environmental impacts.
What makes a Canadian Diamond so special?
Not only are Canadian Diamonds some of the world's most ethically sourced diamonds they are also incredibly beautiful. Mined in the wild and stunning Northern Canada, they are renowned for being very high quality with fewer inclusions and exceptional cutting standards. In a way, the knowledge that your diamond has benefited local communities rather than harmed them makes it even more beautiful. A diamond that is radiant for the good it does, not just the way it looks, now that sound like the gem for us!
Are Canadian Diamonds more expensive?
Canadian diamonds do come with a slightly higher price tag. This is due to the strict ethical and environmental standards that are in place and the process required to certify a diamond. Although you may pay more for a Canadian Diamond, you can be confident that the diamond you will wear for the rest of your life has been sourced and mined to the highest of standards.
So, is it worth the extra money? We think so. Maybe it means you increase your budget a little more or choose a slightly smaller stone, but we believe this is a small price to pay to support a pioneering environmental and social initiative. The diamond industry as a whole has done a lot to clean up the damage done many decades ago, but no country has done more than Canada. A diamond ring is a symbol of love so why shouldn't we spend a little more to show some love to our planet as well. After all, we are happy to pay a little more for our reusable cup to be filled with fairtrade coffee, why not apply this logic here too?
At Larsen Jewellery, we have a small selection of stunning Canadian diamonds available right now. Enquire here to see if we have a range that suits your dream design and budget, then you too can invest in what we believe should be the future of the diamond industry.


5 SUITORS OUT THERE FOR LUONGO? The buzz in NHL circles today is surrounding Robert Luongo and not because he is close to being traded. It's because of GM Mike Gillis comments to the Vancouver Sun about a mystery team. "We have a potential deal in place with one team that has to do something with another player that they have — and it's not who anybody thinks it is — so we have to wait. (But) we've been offered packages that don't fit what our plan is, what we need," Gillis told Sun. Who could that be? Well there might not be a mystery team at all and I'm hearing no's on Tampa Bay, New York Islanders and Washington. The sense on Luongo is the 5 teams with varying levels of interest in him include Toronto, Florida, Edmonton, and sleepers Chicago and Philadelphia.
Sedin's could be the ones to close to the gap Sidney Crosby has missed four straight games due to a concussion and will miss another contest Saturday afternoon against the Boston Bruins. Despite being sidelined, Crosby's NHL points lead has remained very much intact by a wide margin.
The Latest Penguins Draft Buzz; Opportunity to move up for the Penguins?

Tag: Cathy Vitale
When three should be one
Last month I wrote about the controversy some Central Committees around the state faced when it came to filling vacancies for Senator and Delegate positions. It boiled down to the preference of Governor Hogan to have a selection of names to choose from when it came to these positions clashing with both the desire of local Central Committees to make the choice and the language of Section 13 of the Maryland Constitution.
If you look at those who have been appointed so far to the various positions, there is a level of familiarity involved: Barrie Ciliberti is a former Delegate returning to the House of Delegates, while Andrew Serafini and Justin Ready have moved up from the House to the Senate to fill vacancies there. The seats formerly held by Ready and Serafini are among the three current vacancies in the House of Delegates, with the other being the seat formerly belonging to Delegate Cathy Vitale, who was tapped by the outgoing O'Malley administration to fill an Anne Arundel County judgeship.
In the cases of Ciliberti, Ready, and now Vitale, there has been no shortage of controversy in filling the seats. Supporters of Wendi Peters, who finished fourth in the District 4 primary for Delegate, fumed that a member of the slate also consisting of Delegates Kathy Afzali and David Vogt and Senator Michael Hough leapfrogged Peters in the selection process – Barrie Ciliberti was fifth in that primary, but a Frederick County Republican Central Committee consisting of Hough supporters made the decision with Carroll County's body tabbing Ciliberti as one of their three finalists as well.
Carroll County's Republican Central Committee has its own stain, replacing its original choice of Robin Bartlett Frazier for District 5 Senate at the behest of the Hogan Administration, which insisted that they amend the process to permit the elevation of then-Delegate Justin Ready to the Senate.
With Anne Arundel County now under the gun to replace Vitale, the three vs. one controversy is back. According to an article in the Capital Gazette by Chase Cook and Sarah Haynesworth, Anne Arundel County's Central Committee is planning to send just one name to Governor Hogan – at least until there's a formal request to do otherwise. Apparently such a request is on its way.
If it were my Central Committee, though, that formal request would be crumpled up and thrown into the circular file. The Gazette piece quotes current Delegate Tony McConkey at length, noting that he's advising the AARCC to send just one name.
As I stated in January, the selection of a state officer should be done closest to the district involved, meaning it would be the Central Committee's task to select the recipient and not the Governor's. It's a similar argument to the one we as a Central Committee have made regarding the wisdom of an elected Board of Education for Wicomico County as opposed to the current system of appointees from the governor's office in Annapolis. Assuming we get the school board as currently envisioned, even the appointees for the hybrid portion of the board and for any vacancies would be done locally.
Yet there's now another element being thrown into the mix. On her way out the door Delegate Vitale introduced HB1070, which would change the Maryland Constitution to allow for a special election in Presidential years once a vacancy is created. As an example, if the law were in effect today those who were recently appointed would face re-election in 2016 to a two-year term rather than serving all the way until 2018. In its description of the proposal the Gazette is incorrect because the earliest we could see such an election would be 2020 – even if passed this year it would be on the 2016 statewide ballot as a question (most likely Question 1.)
In some respects this is a good idea, but I think this would be very confusing to voters. In certain time frames, it could also be difficult to get a person to serve unless it was understood they would be a caretaker member until the election was over – sort of like the situation we faced in replacing Page Elmore in 2010 during the midst of a primary campaign for his successor. The consensus we reached with Somerset County was to put his widow in the seat until the new Delegate was elected (which turned out to be Charles Otto.)
Nor should we forget that, when the shoe was on the other foot and a Democrat was appointing for a Democratic seat, only one name was turned in by the local party organizations.
If appointments are going to be done in Annapolis from a list of three names, it begs the question: just what function do Central Committees have, anyway? At that point the Appointments Secretary just might as well handle the whole thing. I hope that's not the overall intent of the Hogan administration, but right now they seem to want to cut the locals out of the process where they can and it's disappointing.

Anderton among Constitutional Conservatives for Maryland PAC endorsees
Yesterday the Constitutional Conservatives for Maryland PAC announced seven endorsements for the 2014 campaign. All seven of these candidates are Republicans and they are seeking office in most corners of the state, so I will cover them in district order. As a hint to what they are up against, I'm featuring the lifetime monoblogue Accountability Project (mAP) score for incumbents.
Robin Grammer, District 6. This Baltimore County district elected three Democrats in 2010 but only Michael Weir, Jr. (mAP = 28), who is seeking his fourth term, decided to run again. (John Olszewski, Jr. decided to run for the Senate seat of retiring Senator Norman Stone and Joseph "Sonny" Minnick opted to retire.) So two of the seats are open in a district which has elected moderate Democrats and just might be amenable to the GOP alternative.
Gordon Bull, District 12. Sliced between Baltimore and Howard counties, this used to be a 2/1 split district. But all three incumbent Democrats, who had a combined 52 years in office, decided to get out so the opening is there. Not the easiest territory but hopefully the district's conservative voters can unite and sneak Bull into the top three.
Michael Ostroff, District 14. Ostroff certainly has a tough race. All three incumbents are running again: Anne Kaiser (mAP = 3), Eric Luedtke (mAP = 2), and Craig Zucker (mAP = 3) are in the race. But for Luedtke and Zucker, this is their first bid for re-election so the jury could be out on them – Ostroff provides a conservative alternative for MoCo voters.
Philip Parenti, District 27B. Some could write this race off because it's in Prince George's County, but a significant part of the 27B district lies in Calvert County, much friendlier to Republicans. It's the eastern half of the old two-member District 27A, but shifted even a little more eastward into Calvert. Moreover, Parenti is up against a newcomer rather than an incumbent – James Proctor, Jr. is running in adjacent District 27A while Joseph Vallario, Jr. was redistricted himself to District 23B. So this is a winnable race as well.
Deb Rey, District 29B. St. Mary's County has been trending more Republican over the last four years and the opponent is 15-year veteran John Bohanon, Jr. (mAP = 6). True, her section of the 29th district at the southern tip of St. Mary's County has a Democratic voter advantage – but so does Wicomico County and we see how Republicans do there. This is a case where the Delegate may be a mismatch for the district in terms of voting record.
Sid Saab, District 33. Saab is in the catbird seat among these contenders. Two of the three incumbents in the newly-restored District 33 (it was a split district) are Republicans who have represented Anne Arundel County well – Tony McConkey (mAP = 82) and Cathy Vitale (mAP = 80) decided to stay on, while Robert Costa (mAP = 44) opted to leave after three terms. It created the opening for Saab, who should hopefully score about as well as McConkey and Vitale, if not better.
Carl Anderton, Jr., District 38B. Most of my readers should be familiar with Anderton, who's running against a 28-year incumbent in Norm Conway (mAP = 6.) State Democrats tried to assist Conway by excising most of the geography of his old district, removing Republican-heavy Worcester County entirely and centering it in the Salisbury metro area. Voter registration would suggest it's a leaning-Democratic district but in terms of registered voters it's also the third-smallest in the state – so the candidate who can motivate best has an advantage and Carl is working extremely hard.
While this PAC isn't wealthy by any means, they can throw a few hundred dollars into the coffers of each of these candidates should they so choose. But it's more important to spread the word about these worthy conservative alternatives – imagine what the General Assembly would be like if all six won and pushed the GOP numbers tantalizingly close to 50. Even getting to 47 would be a victory as they could get around the committee process if all stick together.
So those who bought raffle tickets from the group should be pleased with the results.

Expected: McDermott Tier Map repeal dies in committee vote
Update 2-21-13: Surprisingly, the Senate companion bill (SB391) received a vote in their Education, Health, and Environmental Affairs Committee. It failed 7-4, with the committee's three Republican Senators (Jennings, Reilly, Simonaire) being joined by Democrat Roy Dyson – that part was no shocker.
I knew this would primarily be a symbolic bill because Democrats in Annapolis weren't going to cede back any sort of planning control to the counties upon gaining it in 2012. But I was disappointed in the vote on Delegate Mike McDermott's House Bill 106 for two reasons: the lopsided 19-5 margin and the abandonment of common sense by two Republicans: Delegates Cathy Vitale and Herb McMillan, both of Anne Arundel County.
It's also worth pointing out on a local level that Delegate Rudy Cane, who is the Chair of the Agriculture, Agriculture Preservation, and Open Space Subcommittee within the Environmental Matters Committee, voted to retain a bill which won't do a thing to preserve agriculture – although it may increase the amount of "open space" as farms go bankrupt and become overgrown.
While there is a companion Senate bill, Senate Bill 391, the common procedure once a crossfiled bill is killed in one chamber is for the measure to either be withdrawn or simply not get a committee vote since the other chamber rejected it. We'll see if Senator E.J. Pipkin, who sponsored the bill, presses for a vote anyway to put people on the record.
Since the repeal bill was defeated in committee, it will be up to counties to now either defy the state's edict or go along with it. There is another bill pending – House Bill 1385, also sponsored by Delegate McDermott – to extend the deadline to July 1, but any artificial deadline defeats the purpose of localizing zoning decisions. Wicomico County residents will have their say on the issue Wednesday evening at 6 at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center; also worth mentioning for my Cecil County audience is they'll have a similar hearing on the Tier Map they already passed tomorrow night at 7:00 at the Cecil County Administrative Building, apparently because the state overlords don't care for it.
Finally, it's very likely that this HB106 vote will be one of the three Environmental Matters Committee votes I use for the 2013 monoblogue Accountability Project. So it looks like Delegates Hogan, Jacobs, Norman, O'Donnell, and Otto have an early lead on getting Legislator of the Year honors. I'd like to publicly thank them for voting for the people (and agricultural industry) of Maryland, even if it was in vain.

Doomsday rally quotables from notables
Some of what was said Monday evening in Annapolis:
Delegate Michael Smigiel:
"Did anybody here vote for somebody to create a quarter-billion dollar slush fund for you?" – reaction to a provision in the BRFA called the "Budget Stabilization Fund."
"They're telling us to move forward into a tax bayonet, pointed right at the heart of the middle class."
"We're going to be one Maryland united against these tax increases that they're trying to put on us."
"Only in 'entitlement math' is the fact that you've got a $700 million increase (but it becomes) a half a billion dollar cut."
"A triple A bond rating means one thing: you're willing to tax anybody, any amount, anytime. I would much rather have my freedom, I would much rather our counties have their sovereignty, then to have the burden of having to pay that $35 billion (in teacher pension liability) coming due."
Introducing Delegate Mike McDermott: "Our next speaker has changed the way things are done in the legislature as far as speaking goes. They had to repaint the walls after Mike spoke the first session because he peeled a little of the paint off."
U.S. Senate candidate Dan Bongino:
"Frankly, I'm tired of hearing about how Republicans – we're this anti-government, anti-tax crowd. Folks, that's nonsense. You know it and I know it. I will proudly give you my last dollar to fund our fighting men and women overseas…I will proudly fund our police, our fire, our teachers, our court system. But folks, I will be damned if I pay one more dollar to fund a cowboy poetry festival in Nevada."
"We have all the gifts in the world (in Maryland.) Why are people leaving? It's not us, it's them…it's him (Martin O'Malley.)"
"They like to classify people into 'us' and 'them', because if they don't have victims they don't have anything."
State Senator E.J. Pipkin:
"(As of Wednesday, when the revenue bills pass) Martin O'Malley is officially the $2 billion governor."
"One thing (Democrats) can never, ever stop: that's the idea that we can have better ideas than what's on the table, and we have the right to put them forward, and eventually our better ideas will win out."
AFP Maryland head Charles Lollar:
"We have the arrogance of an administration that wants to take more money from you and I…it doesn't work, you're wasting more of our money."
"It's an issue about taking money from those who create opportunity and trying to give it to those who simply don't want to create opportunity."
"Whether it's five people, 15,000 people, or 500 people – this is our state, this is our country, and you're not going to take it without a fight on your hands."
"We created the greatest economy on God's green earth with sweat equity, an American spirit, and a belief in God that was greater than our own. And now my fear is…my daughters are going to inherit a state that does not understand the American spirit."
"You cannot pursue happiness sitting on your rear end."
To Governor O'Malley: "On our watch, you will not be able to continue to raise taxes and sleep peaceably because we'll stand right outside your window…until you understand this is our state."
David Craig, Harford County Executive and 2014 candidate for Governor:
"This is actually a doomsday session, not a doomsday budget. I could live with the budget that was proposed."
"If you look at our history, we were called the Free State. Now we're the Fee State. I'm surprised they didn't charge you a fee to come here and stand and listen to this."
"Please don't die, because it's going to cost you twice as much to get your death certificate."
"We don't have Democrats in this state – I get along with Democrats. We have 'monocrats' in this state. They just want a one-party state so they can run things."
Delegate Mike McDermott:
"We have a governor that is increasingly putting the burden on our children's children. Nonstop. It is the kids – today we were inside, and all the kids are taking the tour, and they're walking around looking at history, and I'm thinking 'you know what, every one of you poor kids is getting tagged for this.'"
"We've got the best schools that debt can buy."
"When the governor moves you forward, just remember you're walking a plank. That's where we're moving forward on, we're moving on a plank."
"Governor, if you're not going to change your ways – if you're not going to cut our taxes, if you're not going to control our spending – then the next time you bring a budget in here, and we strike it, you strike the colors of the state of Maryland and you run up the Jolly Roger! Because this is nothing but a pirate ship! The only thing missing from the Governor and his staff is a patch over one eye and a parrot on his shoulder."
Delegate Neil Parrott:
"Washington County, I look across the border – I see West Virginia. I see Virginia. I see Pennsylvania. And I see businesses, unfortunately, relocating or locating to those other counties instead of coming to Washington County."
"We've got to stop this tax and spend attitude. It's out of control. We also need to stop the one-party system in Maryland; it's not working."
"One other way – besides just winning elections – that we can change our state is something we haven't used very much, but we just used it last year for the first time. They wanted to raise our taxes to give it to illegal aliens – that's what they wanted to do and they still want to do it. Thanks to you all, last year we stopped that."
"This year, I came to session thinking 'you know, we're (in a) $1.2 billion structural deficit,' which just means this: we came to session thinking we're spending $1.2 billion more than we're taking in. That must be Governor O'Malley's top priority…instead, he spent over half the session pushing through a bill to legalize same-sex marriage in Maryland."
"This (Congressional districting) map is an example of politicians choosing their voters. We don't want politicians choosing their voters, we the voters want to choose our politicians."
Senator Nancy Jacobs, a 2012 Congressional candidate:
"Governor O'Malley does not live in reality. When was the last time this man bought a gallon of gas? Before he was here – on our taxpayer dime – he was in the City of Baltimore and they paid for his gas. When was the last time he bought a loaf of bread, or a gallon of milk? We should put him on one of those game shows and see if he knows the price of any of these things, because I don't think he does."
"I always thought that when (O'Malley) said we've got to move the state forward, that's code for here comes another tax."
"(O'Malley) has higher aspirations and they are costing the citizens of Maryland so he can go to Washington."
Delegate Cathy Vitale:
"We didn't pick the cuts. We didn't select what was going to happen. The doomsday budget was carefully selected to cause you to come back here to fix the problem. Anybody figure out there's a problem?"
"Decisions were made, it's time to live with them. Go home."
Delegate Gail Bates:
"Our beautiful State House dome is made of wood…do you know they don't have a single nail in that? It was all put together with wooden pegs. Do you know why? There was a tax on nails, and they refused to pay it."
As far as actual results go, the protest didn't do much. We'll get the income tax on those who make a middle-class living, the tax on certain tobacco products, and other "revenue enhancements" we don't need. But now we have them on record again, and you can bet votes from this Special Session will find their way to the monoblogue Accountability Project.

A Brief History of Whale Evolution
The evolutionary history of cetaceans is thought to have occurred in the Indian subcontinent from even-toed ungulates 50 million years ago, over a period of at least 15 million years. Cetaceans are fully aquatic marine mammals belonging to the order Artiodactyla, and branched off from other artiodactyls around 50 mya (million years ago). Cetaceans are thought to have evolved during the Eocene or earlier, sharing a closest common ancestor with hippopotamuses. Being mammals, they surface to breathe air; they have 5 finger bones (even-toed) in their fins; they nurse their young; and, despite their fully aquatic life style, they retained many skeletal features from their terrestrial ancestors. Discoveries starting in the late 1970s in Pakistan revealed several stages in the transition of cetaceans from land to sea.

The global economic meltdown in 2008 made it imperative for corporate sectors across the world to accept the fact that we can no longer afford to be passive observers. The fast-paced and unremitting transformation of corporate environment further raised the need of experts capable of mapping the future (two to five years)– identify and decipher risks, formulate a matrix of risk management, risk mitigation and risk avoidance.
To have an effective Corporate Governance framework, it is no longer sufficient for boards to relegate risk management as a supplement to the oversight of Audit Committee (AC). Pragmatic boards shall construe risk management as one of the fundamental enabling processes within the broader framework of strategy. Boards must design a risk management policy and risk management framework by forming Risk Management Committees (RMCs).
The risk management framework should envisage the scale and scope of risk arising out of macro- and micro-socio-politico-economic factors. These factors help in determining and managing the impact and influence of a business, specific to a certain part of geography, to have in other parts of the planet. For instance, the political and social imbalance in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) coupled by their impact on the production of oil affected the global economy.
Another factor for consideration should be 'regulatory risk impact'; the amends in regulatory stance might leave the current organizational design, business model and even the strategic approach redundant. For example, during the years 2008- 2013, Indian life insurance industry witnessed the massive impact on growth and profitability due to unfettered regulatory risk. Moreover, any act of non-compliance can invoke regulatory cognizance, thereby eroding the financial and reputational standing of the company. Case in point, recently, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) ordered a penal action against 196 erring companies for not shelling out funds for CSR activities in FY 2014-2015.
Once the categories are detailed, all the risk must be graded into major and minor risks and their possible impact should be assessed. Following which, measures to avoid, mitigate and manage risks must be designed, along with the monitoring plan by the RMC. It should include the schedule of meetings of various forums of structures, and what kind of information, data and analysis were discussed in those forums.
In the beginning of every quarter, the board should get a comprehensive feedback from RMC on how the risk management process is functioning and suggest changes in approaches if required. Moreover, at the end of every financial year, the board must judge the risk management of the company by taking a reverse journey and look into the financials–to assess their successes and failures– and determine whether the enterprise value has been maintained, enhanced or reduced. This exercise will help in mapping and re-engineer the journey next year.
In conclusion, the ability to visualise future business environment and to choose and implement the best alternative strategy is at the very core of risk management. It should be observed as an evidence of value preservation and creation process rather than a mere regulatory obligation.

Peninsula Medical School, UK, employed six students to write MCQ items for a formative applied medical knowledge item bank. The students successfully generated 260 quality MCQs in their six-week contracted period. Informal feedback from students and two staff mentors suggests that the exercise provided a very effective learning environment and that students felt they were being paid to learn. Further research is under way to track the progress of the students involved in the exercise, and to formally evaluate the impact on learning.

Passive acoustics has been used to investigate behavior and relative abundances of soniferous fish. However, because of noise interferences, it remains challenging to accurately analyze acoustic activities of soniferous fish. This study proposes a multi-method approach, which combines rule-based detector, periodicity-coded non-negative matrix factorization, and Gaussian mixture models. Although the three methods performed well when used to detect croaker choruses in quiet conditions, inconsistent results are observed in noisy conditions. A consistency matrix can provide insights regarding the bias of acoustic monitoring results. The results suggest that the proposed approach can reasonably improve passive acoustic monitoring of soniferous fish.

Herbert G. Wells (1866-1946), author of the Time Machine (London, United Kingdom: W. Heinemann, 1895). While Wells was not the first to write about time travel, his fantastic novel popularized the idea.
A Venusian named Solgonda contacted him in the Mojave Desert back in 1953 and gave him the blueprints for a time travel and ascension portal known as the Integratron, which he started building in 1958 and completed in the following year.
Contactee with Venusians and other extraterrestrials, first to write about Venusian time travel capabilities in a series of articles in the Redondo Breeze newspaper in his home state of California. A frequent speaker at Van Tassel's Giant Rock Interplanetary Spacecraft Conventions, here he is seen autographing copies of his book, Aboard a Flying Saucer (Los Angeles, California: DeVorss, 1954), at the first convention in April 1954.
Contacted by Venusians landing in Tibet, he was flown to Venus along with some other lamas and while visiting a temple facility there, were allowed to view the Earth through a time scope 1,000 years into the future.
Typical city on paradise Venus, and what Earth city could be like in the future, if we survive our current timeline's military and political crises.
America's most well-known and respected evangelist, Billy Graham also speculated that angels and aliens were one and the same, both good and bad ones. Photo by Barney Sellers, Commericial Appeal newspaper archives, Memphis, Tennessee.
In Rev. Graham's book, Angels: God's Secret Agents (Waco, Texas: Word Books, 1975), the evangelist first proposed his angelic origins UFO theory.
First American contactee? Beginning in the early 1820s and throughout his life, upstate New York farm boy Joseph Smith, Jr. (1805-1844) began receiving revelations from angels about life in the celestial realms. Earliest photo of the Mormon prophet, taken in Nauvoo, Illinois, 1843.
As the co-founder of the Theosophical Society, Blavatsky believed that advanced intelligences from the planet Venus were guiding the course of human history. Blavatsky noted that, "Venus was the most powerful, mysterious and occult of all worlds." Photo from archives of the Theosophical Society, with international headquarters in Adyar, Chennai, India.
After investigating several claims by American citizens in the western states of having had contact with Venusians, Arnold came to believe the Angelic origin theory as the most valid one for explaining the presence of flying saucer occupants.

A New M60A3 (TTS) for the 10th Anniversary of Steel Beasts
By SimHQ on August 9, 2010 in _land3
by Chuck "Magnum" Ankenbauer
On August 21, 2010 eSim's Steel Beasts celebrates 10 years. To commemorate the event, a new update to Steel Beasts Professional PEis being developed that includes several new and updated features including the new M60A3.
eSim's Director of Marketing, Nils "Ssnake" Hinrichsen told us about the new M60A3 in this latest SimHQ Exclusive Preview of Steel Beasts Pro PE v2.5…
"The M60A3 (TTS) was the last US MBT built from homogeneous (cast) steel armor. More than 15,000 units were built, of which about 1,700 are still in use in Egypt, 900 in Turkey, and 700 in Israel (though heavily modified).
It's another example of Dejawolf's magnificent work which he did as another "private" development project. But of course we were happy to integrate it. The M60A3's fire control system supposedly is very similar to the M1's, so I'm rather optimistic that we can add crew positions in a future upgrade — there just wasn't enough time for it this time around.
Together with the already discussed T-55 and T-62, I think we can expect a surge of classic Cold War era scenarios, even though this admittedly doesn't have too much relevance in contemporary training. Still, Cold War era scenarios have a strong entertainment appeal, so I'm sure they will be good for some fun with retro equipment."
Here are several screenshots of the new M60A3 (TTS).
