Farm Life: How Many Generations Between You and the Soil?


Prepare pasta according to package instructions. Drain and allow to cool. Place the pasta and the remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss. In a small bowl or dressing shaker, mix together the dressing ingredients until emulsification occurs. Drizzle over the salad and toss again. Serve at room temperature for best flavor.
Every year around this time I really, really want to eat light, spring-like dishes. Unfortunately, living in the mid-Atlantic means that despite recent warm weather, there are virtually no vegetables or fruits in season locally right now. Overwintered rhubarb or leeks maybe but that's about it. So frustrating. So what I've been doing is making a lot of salads that don't absolutely rely on in season vegetables to be awesome. I've been getting a head start on grilling some proteins for this summer's grilling posts and these salads are prefect accompaniments; I can make them ahead of time leaving me free to grill without running back and forth to the kitchen. The trick is to include enough fresh ingredients in the salad to keep it from tasting too straight from the cupboard but nothing that truly needs to be in season to be delicious like tomatoes or corn. A bit of fresh Italian parsley brightens the dressing, hot house English cukes and cubanelles are pretty tasty year round. Good quality olives, Parmesan and pepperoni round it out and add an Italian edge which makes it robust enough to serve along steaks or pork marinaded with Italian herbs. The leftovers make a tasty light lunch the next day too.

Now as you sink deeper and deeper relaxed all of the sounds fade away in the distance.
You pay no attention to any other sound but the sound of my voice. You sink deeper and deeper with every breath you take. Deeper and deeper and deeper, way down, deeper and deeper relaxed. In the past alcohol may have been to you something that meant life. In your mind you may have accepted a suggestion that alcohol saves your life or alcohol protects you from being injured, alcohol is good for you in some manner or another. But that was yesterday and we are in the future.
All that was yesterday, because alcohol may have protected you from injury in the past, it could have even saved your life. Alcohol to some people is a medicine so terribly necessary. And those suggestions may have been good suggestions at one time, but they have outlived their usefulness and if any of those suggestions are present to any degree in your mind, they are completely removed as of now.
And that suggestion takes complete and thorough effect upon your mind, body and spirit. Now to other people alcohol means death. It's a way of punishing oneself. It's a poison and some people want to poison themselves. It's a method of slow suicide. Well, you don't need that now.
If alcohol ever meant death and suicide to you and you have a need to punish yourself, that need is now long gone and we remove that suggestion. The truth of the matter is that alcohol is just alcohol. It's not life. It's not death. As a matter of fact, it's not anything to you anymore. It's nothing, neutral feelings.
It's a beverage that you don't need nor do you want. You've lost all desire for alcohol in any form. You're interested in water. You love tea, hot or iced, and especially when it's good. And there are many other beverages that you like and that you can drink. There's milk and cocoa, hot chocolate, and many soft drinks, a number of which you enjoy.
But the one that doesn't do you any good and that you don't even care about anymore is alcohol. Now that was yesterday when alcohol may have saved your life or protected you or when it was a means of self punishment. That was when you ran yourself down and lost your ego. That was yesterday when you thought ill of yourself. That was yesterday when you made yourself into a failure. And today is when you put alcohol aside forever.
And when you put it aside, you put it aside with all the other failures. You put it aside with all the other means of self punishment, with all the fears and anxieties, and everything else.
Because you don't need any of that. Today is the day in which you make yourself successful.
Today is the day in which you set goals and strive towards those goals.
Today is the day in which you have a nice clean cut appearance, in which you feel sober and can think straight and reason and make decisions upon good judgement and past experience.
Today is the day in which you start loving yourself and appreciating yourself for the really good and intelligent individual that you are.
Today is the day in which you turn yourself over and turn your life over to something higher than just you, not only to a higher principle, but to a higher power. Let that power run your life.
Today is the day that you'll bury your past mistakes and make something out of yourself.
Today is the day that you wipe failure out of your book of life and that success becomes really meaningful to you in a very personal way.
To be completely succinct about this, today is the day that you throw alcohol away. You throw it away for good. You don't need it and you'll never need it. You don't want it and you'll never want it. You can't desire it and you don't. You're through with alcohol. You don't need it, you don't want it, and you can't drink it. It tastes terrible. It acts terrible. And it makes you feel terrible.
You're going to enjoy life fully in every way and feel happy, live, laugh, love, and be happy for that's what today means to you. Now all these suggestions take complete and thorough effect upon you mind, body and spirit as you sink deeper and deeper relaxed and they seal themselves into your subconscious mind and they reinforce themselves over and over again. I'm going to give you a period of silence in which all this takes effect and that period of silence begins now.

Iconic Jet Star Razed
Mon May 20, 2013 - National Edition
Wayne Parry - ASSOCIATED PRESS
Casino Pier hired Weeks Marine, an experienced maritime contractor, to bring a barge bearing a giant crane and a grasping claw.
SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. (AP) When Superstorm Sandy hit this past October, it was the Jet Star roller coaster itself that plunged into the waves off the amusement pier where it had been anchored for decades.
Work crews began tearing down the remains of the roller coaster and placing them on a huge storage barge, which carried away the last remnants of the beloved ride within 48 hours.
The image of the Jet Star, sitting in the ocean, was perhaps the most famous and enduring image of Superstorm Sandy. It appeared hundreds of times in media accounts and graced T-shirts, hoodies and car magnets, sold by the numerous charities raising money for storm victims.
The ride is privately owned by Casino Pier, one of two amusement piers in Seaside Heights that were devastated by the Oct. 29 storm. Funtown Pier, at the southern end of the boardwalk, was so badly damaged it cannot open this summer, but will be back in 2014.
Casino Pier is being rebuilt and will include at least 18 rides this summer, including a new pendulum ride called The Superstorm, in defiance of Sandy.
The coaster's removal was delayed for months while the company wrangled with insurers and contractors over a rare engineering feat: Exactly how DO you snag a roller coaster out of the sea?
In the end, they came up with a fairly simple solution. The company hired Weeks Marine, an experienced maritime contractor, to bring a barge bearing a giant crane with the same sort of grasping claw featured in miniature in so many Seaside Heights arcades, where contestants maneuver the device and try to capture a stuffed animal or sports jersey as a prize.
The project also will remove three other rides that fell from the pier and into the ocean during the storm, but have been submerged and out of view since then, said Toby Wolf, a spokeswoman for the pier's owners. The Stillwalk Manor, a haunted house-type ride; The Centrifuge, and the Log Flume all plunged off the pier and into the waves.
A fifth ride that fell from the pier, the Music Express, landed on the beach and was salvaged a few days after the storm, Wolf said.
The boardwalk itself is nearing completion, and the mayor promises it will be done by Memorial Day weekend. The section of boardwalk upon which Prince Harry walked on Tuesday, May 14, was just finished over the previous weekend by workers hastening to prepare for his visit.

Prayer, or Salah as it is called in Arabic, is the means for human beings to communicate with Allah Almighty.
It is, in the words of the Prophet (peace be upon him), what distinguishes a believer from a non-believer.
This intensive and detailed unit will answer these very questions and much more. This unit has been designed to enlighten you and teach you about the outer rulings of prayers and its inner spiritual meanings so that you can pray to Allah with both body and heart.


As I say in the page the lowest count component the better.
I would dare to ask if anyone can provide a PC-XT 8088 or V20 motherboard schematic AND PCB layout?
This is tough but someone may have already scan these old magazines od done the reverse engineering job already?
Hi! Interesting! Please keep us posted on your progress.
PS, I recall there used to be companies your could order PCBs for various XT ISA boards including motherboards. They included schematics, parts lists, and PCB layouts. I haven't seen any in a long time but if one could locate a cache of those it may accelerate your project.
They exist, but are probably not easy to find nowadays. Steve Ciarcia, I believe published the plans and board layouts for an 8088 system, but it was somewhat incompatible with the standard PC. I'll dig around and see if I can find anything. Note that a complete board is likely to be multi-layer.
Note that a complete board is likely to be multi-layer.
That was what I was wondering about. Maybe some of the early boards were simple two sided boards, but somewhere along the way, the vendors would has gone to internal layers to increase parts density.
Hi! Yes, no doubt the advanced boards would multilayer since they could get the costs down with huge quantity. Unfortunately for home brew style PCBs 2 layer is really the only cost effective option. 4 or more layer PCBs are very expensive.
My tool set supports multilayer boards but there is not much point in making them since the unit cost would be so high no one would want them.
I remember "back in the day" making several PC ISA peripherals using PCBs I ordered from Computer Shopper or the like. I'd get parts from Jameco or JDR and build them up for pretty reasonable. Normally they'd work first try although sometimes they needed some help to fix. It certainly was a lot of fun to build though.
Also used to make ham radio stuff from PCBs like a VHF two meter rig and packet modems and the like. Ham radio was a lot of fun making equipment but I never really got into the DX or talking on the "net". Making equipment is one hobby I've never outgrown I guess!
I admire you guys that can make their own PWBs. In the early 70's at Rockwell I saw the pros with their light tables and mylar. Later of course it all went to CAD and auto-routing, but those pros could make some dense interconnects that were sophisticated. They could execute the circuit designers specifications of guard bands, minimum length and transmission line parameters, etc. better than any CAD program.
At Rockwell they tried everything from CALMA, Daisy and Mentor Graphics, etc. trying to find a sustainable vendor. They all seemed to go out of business. While I never used the interconnect tools, I did use the "front end" tools of schematic capture and logic synthesis/analysis.
Best of luck to your interesting projects.
We often forget that ICs used to be done that way too. Most of the really good board layout people tended to hail from east of Istanbul (a PC way of saying "Asian"). You could explain exactly what you wanted and they'd deliver, with their mylar sheet, X-acto knifes, tape and india ink. And more than once, they'd come back and point out an error that you'd made.
This might be a helpful book.
I have a Taiwan clone of an IBM XT which is not multi layered, I think. Seeing through the PCB using full light I cannot find any middle layer. I think if multi layered PCBs were used the whole motherboard would be populated by the internal leyer(s). I mean there is no point for the company to spend more if only a few connections are desired to be done on the middle layer...Yeah, I don't see why a DIY motherboard would have to be multi-layered; not much more to an XT than the N8VEM, especially with modern (S)RAM chips etc.
Well, the point of many multilayer PCB isn't the connections, it's the signal propogation. Having a nice ground plane can solve a lot of problems. When you get into higher speeds, it's a necessity, not an option.
FWIW, Rich Cini has the Big Blue Seed book scanned on his site (http://www.classiccmp.org/cini/pdf/random/).
It's not a high-quality scan, but might be useful.
Personally my brand of vintage purism basically says, don't use something more powerful than the machine itself to perform some kind of peripheral function, like using a 40MHz microcontroller to build an interface on a machine that only has an 8MHz CPU... I think it defeats the purpose more than using modern RAM chips - at least the RAM still functions the same even if it is smaller.
I found this thread almost by accident and I think it is a cool project. I really like the idea of building a PC clone with SRAM chips. Are there any schematic of a complete PC/XT board around?
The only one I know of is the schematics for the original IBM XT, as presented in their technical reference manual. It should be noted that the only thing seperating the actual system design from the PC is the lack of the casette hardware and enhanced memory support (the Mostek 4164 [64Kx1bit], the Mostek 41256 [256Kx1bit], the Intel 2118 [16Kx1bit], and some unidentified 128Kx1bit IC with similar pinout as the 41256).

Q: I am not able to label the vertex of the following graph in mathematica, can some one please help me Graph[{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, {1 -> 2, 1 -> 3, 2 -> 5, 2 -> 6, 5 -> 6},
 VertexLabeling -> True]

Graph::optx: Unknown option VertexLabeling in Graph[{1,2,3,4,5,6},{1->2,1->3,2->5,2->6,5->6},VertexLabeling->True].

GraphPlot[{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, {1 -> 2, 1 -> 3, 2 -> 5, 2 -> 6,
  5 -> 6}, VertexLabeling -> True]

GraphPlot::argx: GraphPlot called with 2 arguments; 1 argument is expected. >>

This was the message came after trying to draw the graph.

A: Seems in Mathematica 10 you should use the VertexLabels option. So, your code can be written like this:
Graph[{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, {1 -> 2, 1 -> 3, 2 -> 5, 2 -> 6, 5 -> 6},
 VertexLabels -> "Name"]

Which will give the result shown below:

A: Just to illustrate some ways to motivate play:
{v, e} = {{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, {1 -> 2, 1 -> 3, 2 -> 5, 2 -> 6,
    5 -> 6}};
GraphPlot[e, VertexLabeling -> All]
Graph[v, e, VertexLabels -> Placed["Name", Center],
 VertexStyle -> LightBlue, VertexSize -> 0.6]
GraphPlot[e,

COVID-19 Updates: Beal, Gill, Pacers, Pritchard, Young, Sixers
January 12th, 2022 at 11:39am CST by Luke Adams
Wizards guard Bradley Beal re-entered the NBA's health and safety protocols on Tuesday, as Josh Robbins of The Athletic tweets. It's Beal's second protocol-related absence within the last month — he missed three games between December 23-28 due to contact tracing, Robbins notes.
Unlike last season, when any player determined to be a close contact of someone who tested positive for COVID-19 was placed in the protocols, those guidelines only apply to unvaccinated players this season. Beal began the season unvaccinated, but confirmed when he returned in late December that he had recently received the vaccine. That could mean his absence this time around isn't related to contact tracing, and that he returned a positive or inconclusive test.
The Wizards did get one piece of good news on Tuesday afternoon, as forward Anthony Gill exited the protocols, per Robbins (Twitter link). That means Beal is currently the only Washington player affected.
Here are more protocol-related updates from around the NBA:
The Pacers announced on Tuesday that Caris LeVert and Goga Bitadze have exited the health and safety protocols, as James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star writes. Both players have a chance to be available on Wednesday vs. Boston. They're listed as questionable for now.
The Celtics no longer have any players in the COVID-19 protocols, as guard Payton Pritchard has been cleared, according to Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston (Twitter link).
Spurs forward Thaddeus Young is no longer in the health and safety protocols, tweets Paul Garcia of Project Spurs. However, San Antonio still has five players in the protocols, tied with Utah for the highest current total in the league.
Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey and forward Paul Reed aren't listed on the team's latest injury report, indicating that they've both cleared the protocols (Twitter links via Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer and Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia).
Of approximately 2,400 "tier 1" staffers working for NBA teams, there have been more than 500 confirmed cases of COVID-19 this season, creating major challenges for franchises, writes Baxter Holmes of ESPN. "You're basically taking an assembly of people who help the athletes and taking a few people off the line every few days for a week or more," one athletic training official told ESPN. "It has interfered significantly with the regular protocols and people being given responsibilities/duties they don't normally have or are even qualified to do in order to get the job done. It's been the Wild Wild West."

Sixers Sign Charlie Brown Jr. After Maxey Enters Protocols
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:50pm CST by Dana Gauruder
The Sixers have added Charlie Brown Jr. on a 10-day contract via the hardship exception after another prominent player entered health and safety protocols, Kyle Neubeck of the Philly Voice tweets. Philadelphia confirmed the signing in a team press release.
Starting guard Tyrese Maxey will miss Monday's game against Houston due to those restrictions, joining Matisse Thybulle and two others.
Brown was signed to a 10-day contract by the Mavericks but it wasn't renewed. He made three brief appearances with Dallas.
Brown had been playing with the NBAGL's Delaware Blue Coats before the wave of COVID positives around the league. He also appeared in a total of 19 games with the Hawks in 2019/20 and the Thunder in 2020/21.
A Philadelphia native, Brown played his college basketball at Saint Joseph's, where he averaged 19.0 PPG in his final season with the Hawks.
COVID Updates: Joseph, Jackson, Murray, Johnson, Okeke, Rondo, Ball, Maxey
December 26th, 2021 at 12:30pm CST by Dana Gauruder
The league continues to be ravaged by COVID positives with an increasing number of players entering the league's health and safety protocols. Here are the latest updates:
The Pistons, who already had six players in protocols, added guards Cory Joseph and Josh Jackson to the list, James Edwards III of The Athletic tweets. The Pistons are scheduled to play the Spurs on Sunday night. San Antonio will be without Dejounte Murray, who also entered protocols on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic tweets.
The Magic, who already had a handful of players in protocols, won't have B.J. Johnson and Chuma Okeke available against Miami on Sunday after they joined the list, the team's PR department tweets. Moritz Wagner has exited the protocols but is going through a reconditioning period before returning to action, per the team (Twitter link).
Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo has entered protocols, joining three other Lakers, Kyle Goon of the Orange County Register tweets.
Two-way player Jose Alvarado became the third Pelicans players to enter protocols, Andrew Lopez of ESPN tweets.
Bulls guard Lonzo Ball has entered protocols, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN tweets. The Bulls, who have experienced major COVID issues this month, also have Alfonzo McKinnie and Tony Bradley in protocols, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic tweets. McKinnie just signed a standard contract and he can be replaced via the hardship exemption, Bobby Marks of ESPN tweets. Chicago has seen 14 players enter protocols this month.
On the positive side, the Sixers' Tyrese Maxey was spotted at shootaround after exiting protocols, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer tweets.

COVID-19 Updates: Osman, Lyles, Maxey, Kings, Aldridge, Mavericks
December 25th, 2021 at 9:59pm CST by Arthur Hill
If the Cavaliers are able to host the Raptors Sunday afternoon, both teams will have a shell of their normal lineups. Cavs forward Cedi Osman has become the team's eighth player in the league's health and safety protocols, tweets Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com. He joins Jarrett Allen, Ed Davis, Evan Mobley, RJ Nembhard, Isaac Okoro, Lamar Stevens and Dylan Windler.
Toronto's roster is even more strained, with 10 players currently in protocols. Khem Birch, Isaac Bonga, and Justin Champagnie were placed in the protocols earlier today, joining Precious Achiuwa, OG Anunoby, Scottie Barnes, Malachi Flynn, Pascal Siakam, Gary Trent Jr. and Fred VanVleet. Toronto will have to finalize 10-day hardship contracts with at least one more player before game time to reach the league roster minimum of eight.
There's more COVID-19 news from around the league:
Pistons forward Trey Lyles entered the protocols Saturday, becoming the team's sixth player this week to do so, writes Omari Sankofa II of The Detroit Free Press. Lyles is coming off his best game since signing with Detroit in the offseason, posting 28 points, eight rebounds and four blocks Thursday night. Sankofa expects rookie Luka Garza and possibly Jamorko Pickett to see more playing time while Lyles is unavailable.
Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey has also been placed in the protocols, according to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Maxey has taken over as point guard in the absence of Ben Simmons and has started 28 of the 29 games he has played in his second NBA season.
Kings forwards Marvin Bagley III and Louis King have cleared protocols and should be available Sunday, per Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee. Terence Davis has been cleared as well, Anderson tweets.
Nets coach Steve Nash said veteran big man LaMarcus Aldridge has either exited the protocols or is close, but will need time for conditioning before he can resume playing, relays Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN (Twitter link).
Josh Green has joined his Mavericks teammates in Utah after clearing protocols, but won't be active for tonight's game, according to Tim MacMahon of ESPN (Twitter link). He's expected to be able to play during the rest of the team's road trip.
Mavericks assistant coach Kristi Toliver tweeted on Christmas that she contracted COVID-19.

Sixers Notes: Maxey, Embiid, Lillard, Morey
Tyrese Maxey has emerged as a bright spot for the Sixers in the Ben Simmons standoff, writes Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer. With Simmons not playing and Shake Milton sidelined by a sprained ankle, Maxey became the team's opening night point guard. He has remained in the starting lineup and is averaging 16.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists in his second NBA season.
"Tyrese's energy is so contagious," Matisse Thybulle said. "… He's got one of the hardest jobs on the court being a point guard trying to quarterback the whole gym, and (coach Doc Rivers) doesn't take it easy on him, and he's able to take this challenge and show up day in and day out with one of the best attitudes on the team."
The Sixers landed Maxey with the 21st pick in the 2020 draft, even though they had him ranked in the top 12. President of basketball operations Daryl Morey, who had just arrived from Houston, credits the scouting department and general manager Elton Brand for identifying Maxey as a top prospect.
"We believed in Tyrese so much," Morey said. "We weren't looking for 'solid'. … We felt like our first-round pick, we wanted to shoot for someone who could be a higher-end player in the league. We were surprised he was there, and really thrilled he was there."
There's more from Philadelphia:
Joel Embiid had to briefly leave Thursday's game in the second half to get checked for abdominal pain, but he doesn't believe it's a big deal, according to Justin Grasso of SI.com. "In the first quarter, I thought it was a cramp," Embiid said. "As the game went on, I started not breathing right. So I needed to check it out. I honestly don't know (what it was), but it was pretty painful. I'm not sure what happened. I don't know (if it'll affect me moving forward). I'll be fine."
There's a chance to trade for CJ McCollum right now if the Sixers decide to send Ben Simmons to the Trail Blazers, but Damian Lillard probably won't be available until at least the offseason, Kyle Neubeck of The Philly Voice states in a mailbag column. However, the collapsed lung that McCollum suffered this week could delay trade talks.
Morey's trade history suggests that Sixers fans shouldn't get attached to anyone other than Embiid, Neubeck adds. Morey overhauled the Rockets several times during his years in Houston and will continue seek the best possible return for Simmons at any position other than center.
Eastern Notes: Schroder, Maxey, Joe, Bertans
November 13th, 2021 at 12:00pm CST by Dana Gauruder
Dennis Schröder signed a one-year contract for the taxpayer mid-level exception in the hopes of building his value. So far, so good. Schröder erupted for 38 points on Friday in the Celtics' victory over Milwaukee and elicited MVP chants from the home fans, Jared Weiss of The Athletic writes. Schröder is averaging 20.8 PPG and 5.8 APG as a starter.
"He's finding his way," Celtics head coach Ime Udoka said. "He's brought his bench role to the starting lineup. He's been very aggressive."
We have more from the Eastern Conference:
While Ben Simmons continues to sit out, Sixers second-year guard Tyrese Maxey has become one of the most popular athletes in Philadelphia. Fans were chanting "MVP!" during Thursday's home game, according to Gina Mizell of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Maxey has piled up 64 points and nine assists while committing just two turnovers over the last two games. "I appreciate the Philly fans, of course," Maxey said. "They're always behind us."
Isaiah Joe has cleared protocols and will join the Sixers in Indiana for Saturday's game, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer tweets. He is expected to go through a workout pregame and is questionable to play, Pompey adds. Joel Embiid and Matisse Thybulle remain under those health and safety protocols.
Wizards forward Davis Bertans is a week away from returning to action, coach Wes Unseld Jr. told Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington (Twitter link) and other media members on Friday. Bertans has done more shooting drills in recent days. He has been out since November 1 with a sprained left ankle.

Sixers Notes: Simmons, Embiid, Niang
November 8th, 2021 at 5:21pm CST by Dana Gauruder
After initially resisting, Ben Simmons has now met with a team-recommended specialist to discuss mental health concerns, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN (Twitter links). The Sixers had recently reinstituted fines for Simmons' reluctance to meet with team doctors, among other issues. Simmons plans to continue working out at the practice facility and meeting with his NBPA-provided mental health specialist. He has yet to make his debut and there's no timetable for his return.
We have more on the Sixers:
Joel Embiid is experiencing symptoms in his bout with COVID-19, Kyle Neubeck of The Philly Voice tweets. "He's not doing great, he's struggling with it, very similar to Tobias (Harris)," coach Doc Rivers said. Reports surfaced on Monday morning that the star center had been placed under the league's health and safety protocols.
Embiid has been pleasantly surprised by reserve big man Georges Niang, Lauren Rosen tweets. The former Utah forward, signed as a free agent this summer, is averaging a career-best 11.9 PPG in 22.7 MPG. "I used to think he sucked, honestly," Embiid said. "Obviously, on this team he's doing way more than (shooting 3s). What I'm impressed with is he's a competitor. He brings so much joy to all of us, on and off the court. I'm just glad I have him."
The franchise has gained more leverage in the Simmons situation, David Murphy of the Philadelphia Inquirer opines. The team's hot start shows Simmons that they can win without him, which could force the disgruntled guard's hand. Tyrese Maxey and Niang have more than filled Simmons' void and he's now faced with the prospect of sitting out for months.

Sixers Pick Up 2022/23 Options On Thybulle, Maxey
October 29th, 2021 at 1:44pm CST by Luke Adams
The Sixers have picked up their 2022/23 team options on forward Matisse Thybulle and guard Tyrese Maxey, the team announced today in a press release.
Thybulle, 24, hasn't done much offensively since entering the league as the No. 20 overall pick in 2019, averaging just 4.3 PPG across 135 games. However, he's a key contributor on the other side of the ball, having been named to the All-Defensive Second Team in 2020/21. His fourth-year option for '22/23 will pay him $4,379,527.
Maxey, the 21st overall pick in the 2020 draft, has been forced into starting point guard duty in his second NBA season due to Ben Simmons' absence. He's still finding his footing, but has put up respectable averages of 14.4 PPG, 4.4 RPG, and 3.6 APG in five games (33.0 MPG). His third-year option for '22/23 is worth $2,726,880.
Thybulle will be extension-eligible during the 2022 offseason, while the 76ers will still have to make one more team-option decision on Maxey for the 2023/24 season.
All of this year's '22/23 rookie scale option decisions, which are due on Monday, can be found right here.
Sixers Notes: Embiid, Simmons, Morey, Maxey
October 27th, 2021 at 5:09pm CST by Arthur Hill
Sixers center Joel Embiid has been slowed by pain in his right knee and wasn't able to walk for two days after hurting it in the season opener last Wednesday, according to Ramona Shelburne of ESPN. Shelburne made the comments during an appearance on NBA Today (video link), adding that Embiid is determined to continue playing because Ben Simmons isn't available.
Embiid has appeared in all four of Philadelphia's games, although he's averaging career lows so far with 19.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per night. Simmons told the team last week that he's not mentally ready to play, and it's uncertain when he might return.
Embiid is also trying to lead by example and is motivated by his second-place finish in last season's MVP race, Shelburne adds. He appeared in just 51 games in 2020/21, which was one of the arguments some voters made for not supporting him.
Embiid suffered a small meniscus tear in his right knee during the first round of the playoffs, but was able to continue playing until the Sixers were eliminated. The pain flared up after he banged knees with Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas last week, and Shelburne said there's a feeling that "maybe he should sit a game or two" to help relieve it.
President of basketball operations Daryl Morey said this week that "things seem to be moving very much in a positive direction" with Simmons (video link). He added that the team is working with Simmons to provide "every resource to help him with what is needed."
Until the Simmons situation is resolved, it will loom as a threat to team chemistry, contends Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Simmons still prefers to be traded, and the rotation is likely to undergo a shakeup whenever that happens. There are also players on the roster who could be headed elsewhere in a Simmons deal. "There's obviously uncertainty," Tobias Harris said. "Personally myself, I look at all of the uncertainty as a positive of what could happen. And in reality, the biggest thing is to just stay in the moment."
Tyrese Maxey is experiencing "growing pains" as he tries to handle the lead guard role in Simmons' absence, Pompey adds. Maxey is a combo guard who isn't used to running the offense, and he didn't have an assist until the fourth quarter in Tuesday night's loss to the Knicks.
Atlantic Notes: Nash, Irving, Sixers, Raptors
October 10th, 2021 at 3:59pm CST by Rory Maher
Kyrie Irving is back with the Nets, but he won't be traveling with the team for tomorrow's preseason game at Philadelphia, and coach Steve Nash seems resigned to the fact that Irving is going to start missing home games unless he gets vaccinated, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post.
"I think we recognize he's not playing home games," said Nash. "We're going to have to for sure play without him this year; so it just depends on when, where and how much."
However, Nash also noted that things can change quickly in this unprecedented situation, per Lewis.
"Right now we assume he's not going to be available for home games," Nash said. "Anything can change. Who's to say, the city's ordinance could change? Anything could change."
"Right now we're just trying to remain flexible, open-minded and figure it out as we go, because information is coming in by the half-day here, whether it's Paul [Millsap's health and safety protocol] situation, Kyrie's situation or the laws. We found out Friday he could come in the building, so things are shifting. No one's been through this before, and we're just trying to figure it out as we go."
Here's more from the Atlantic Division:
Tyrese Maxey and Shake Milton of the Sixers appear locked in a battle over the starting point guard spot with Ben Simmons still away from the team, writes Derek Bodner of The Athletic. The players have taken turns starting the team's first two preseason games, with mixed results for both. However, Bodner thinks Maxey has much higher upside and should be given the opportunity to start, given Milton's physical limitations.
In the same article, Bodner notes that second-year guard Isaiah Joe has been outstanding thus far in the preseason and is making a strong case for a spot in the Sixers' rotation. Joe is averaging 16.5 PPG while shooting 7-12 (58.3%) from three, and he's also shown growth as a shot-creator and defender. Coach Doc Rivers has taken notice, per Bodner. "He's starting to put the ball on the floor. That's something he couldn't do (last year)," Rivers said. "He made plays tonight getting into the paint there's no way he could have done that last year. Good for him because he's putting all the work in."
The Raptors have been impressed with free agent acquisition Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk thus far, writes Doug Smith of the Toronto Star.
Khem Birch is out of health and safety protocols and could be available for the Raptors tomorrow against Houston, tweets Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports.

take a look at Cite de l'automobile http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mus%C3%A9e_National_de_l'Automobile_de_Mulhouse. Schlumpf Collection- Mulhouse. In their collections you can fine a Bugatti Royale which should be worth over ten millions.
F1 appears to be a very simple sport but it's so intricate because everyone spends billions just to be a millisecond faster.
Schumacher used to be king. He's retired now which has made the sport substantially more interesting-better competition.
Dear Michele, the Bugatti became a symbol of fate remembering Isadora Duncan killed by her shawl in Nice 1927 in a Bugatti. Remember Vanessa Redgrave in the film about the San Francisco born Duncan. She was the temptress of Sergei Yessenin, the great Russian peasant poet, who committed suicide in 1926. The two children of Duncan were killed in a car accident. The secretary of Yessenin killed herself at the graveside of her lover. Those were the days.

"This is great piece in conveying the basics of auto racing, in the cute way for "Dummies". With this diversification, you are bound to reach a wider audience.
It so happens that I am a car enthusiast. I know about cars, watch and sometimes participate in the racing events. It is a largely unknown fact that NASCAR attracts the largest number of spectators of any sport in the US/world. I do not suggest it to everyone, however, a one-time participation is promised to be an unforgettable experience. I saw a race 2 years ago which drew over 230,000 fans. The tickets were sold out by September for the April race. The roar of the engines, the enthusiasm of the crowd, the sophistication of communication and racing strategies, the side events and the tail gating that goes on for the whole week, the fact that hotels rooms become scarce within the radius of 150 miles and the 100 mile traffic snarl that rivals freeway 405 in the rush hour are sure to make it an unforgettable experience!
Jennifer, don't get me wrong, I for one definitely appreciate the need for speed. In fact, I have a stack of old speeding tickets to prove it! 🙁 So, I don't want to sound didactic here and I do agree with you; but the need for speed, which you describe in your post is different. I'm sure the feeling you describe is there whether one's driving a VW GTI at 120 mph or a Buggati at 300 mph! Beyond a certain speed, the certainty of death upon crash is irrelevant to the actual speed! I also don't know how fun the speed is, when one is taking off of a runway on a commercial plane. But you brought up a very interesting point: the need for speed and its effects on the body. What's interesting is that the very symptoms you described, "the fast adrenaline rush, fast blood pumping heart, and the feeling of being alive" are also the pharmacological side effects of an amphetamine called speed! So, you're right, my post, which was mainly dealing with the social aspects of the car and driver totally missed this point. Let's face it, the need for speed is no different than the need for a fix; it's a form of addiction! I mean, if one gets high from it, and if this high is a physiological effect caused by it, and if one chases this high over and over again…. well, it sounds like speed, just like the drug speed, is addictive!
I know NASCAR is big in the States… but we just love to flock to whatever we're told is "IN" right now… it gives us a chance to have water cooler conversations and feel on top of it … NASCAR is big now, like Golf was earlier, and Basketball, and Tennis before that, and baseball before those, all the way to the time when a bored cave man kicked a pebble all the way back to his cave and invented Stoneball! It's been suggested that Stoneball caused more head and toe injuries on free kicks and corner kicks that any sport since. And this poor tribe played Stoneball happily until they were all consumed by neighboring cannibals who could not resist their enlarged calf muscles as a result of this sport!


I like a large board on which to hang paper targets. The larger 1000 yard targets are ideal because their large area allows you to see hits that are off the mark. This is essential when checking zeros at longer range. The F-Class center is a little smaller than the 1000-yard target and I use it to practice for those shoots.
There are no special targets that will make us better shooters. To be better shooters we need to use targets a lot and regularly. This is called practice. There are however, targets that will make shooting set up easier and more fun giving us incentive to practice more. Shooting at a variety of targets and scenarios is more like training. Practice makes us better shots; training wins matches and prepares us for difficult situations.
Not all of us have the luxury to have a shooting range nearby let alone a long-range facility. With a little engineering and help from some target makers, any safe stretch of BLM or other public ground can become our fun house and give us the training we need in between matches and practice shoots.
My formal 1000-yard range is 120 miles one way from my house. I cannot always make it out for practice sessions although I go as much as I can. These days one has to save travel money for the matches so I practice close by the house with the help of some prefab targets.
For getting on paper I use a target board. The rifle has to be printed on paper to see what it is really doing. Mostly it is for shooting groups and sighting in rifles at 100 yards. It is big enough though, I can shoot at further ranges and show hits on the paper while fine-tuning my ballistic charts. This paper target helps me get some of my elevations set and also I can check variances in different climates.
The paper target backstop is made from some scrap plywood and 2×6 lumber that fit into a metal upright stand.
It breaks down quickly and fits in the back of the truck for easy set up in the field. I can staple any target on it and since I shoot F-Class competition I use a replacement center for along-range paper target. For closer groups that I want to record for later reference I use a Benchrest type target that can be put into a ring binder. These are made out of a heavy grade plastic-coated paper and hold up well in a binder. These record the actual group and any other info on weather and the load that was used.


The local and regional implementation of human rights has been at the heart of the ETC's agenda since its establishment in 1999. In 18 years of activity, the ETC has successfully positioned itself as a forerunner in the field, offering trainings and intensive research on the local, national and regional levels. Several partnerships have been carefully nurtured over many years and have seen great outputs both in theoretical and practical terms – the ETC has published dozens of research papers, conducted a plethora of trainings, contributed to the discipline of human rights education, and taken an active stance in representing the importance of human rights as a "lived experience" in various spheres.
In 2016, the UNESCO Chair in Human Rights and Human Security was established at the University of Graz in close cooperation with the ETC. Similarly, efforts towards establishing and furthering the Human Rights City of Graz have been realised in partnership. In the years since its inception, over 100 local authorities have been advised by the ETC, particularly relating to inclusion, anti-discrimination, and equality. The ETC can be said to have established itself as a major player in the field of human rights implementation on the local and regional levels, and is well-respected for its expertise, interdisciplinary methodology, and human rights-based approach. It has contributed extensively to local institution-building on human rights and has a proven track record in human rights education and scientific research.
With changing global dynamics come changing responsibilities.
In line with recent international developments, the ETC must therefore re-focus and adapt its scope of activity to current needs and happenings. Together with several stakeholders, increased efforts have been undertaken to further the implementation of human rights within the country, and also globally. This stands in close relation to advancements on the global level, such as the adoption of the UN Sustainable Development Agenda 2030, as well as the New Urban Agenda. The New Urban Agenda can be seen as a framework that lays out how cities should be best planned and managed to promote sustainable development and urbanisation. In line with this, the Agenda 2030 posits a total of 17 goals that outline global spheres of activity to address sustainable development, one of which is directly addressed to local governments (SDG 11).
In order to meet these requirements, the operational goals of the ETC have been re-focused in the framework of the International Centre for the Promotion of Human Rights at the Local and Regional Levels. This brings increased efforts towards capacity building on the local level, together with becoming a resource base for information and active global proponent of a human-rights based approach in local and regional governance. The current International Centre builds on the ETC's expertise and will contribute to the implementation of the New Urban Agenda and Agenda 2030 through research, capacity building, information sharing, and international cooperation. The focus will be put on urban inclusion related commitments of the New Urban Agenda. Again, these undertakings are firmly grounded in the plethora of interdisciplinary research on the local implementation of human rights, conducted on all levels.
We see ourselves as confirmed in our previous outlooks, and strengthened in our future plans to play a part in helping to realise the local and regional implementation of human rights. Still, we also recognise that our commitment must adapt to changing global dynamics, take a pragmatic approach, build new networks, and uncover new areas of activity.
Changing dynamics also merit new approaches.
Space has been created for a Human Rights Lab – an innovative platform where new methods to education and capacity building can be developed, tested, and evaluated. In the lab, the goal is to create appropriate instruments and training methodologies for improved capacity-building in various contexts.
At the same time, intensive international partnerships are envisioned that see an increased focus on Africa and the Middle East. The first steps towards realising capacity-building in these regions have already been made. This cooperation will be taken further through the creation of a large-scale Forum, which will gather international, regional, and local authorities and organisations, networks, and civil society actors to advance the implementation of human rights at the local and regional levels.
Furthermore, the International Centre is in the midst of setting up a globally unique clearinghouse, including a systematic collection, analysis, and dissemination of good practices at city-level in the spheres of human rights education and local-capacity building. In order to contribute to this as a Centre, an increased focus will be put on research activities that build the knowledge base for these areas of work, mainstream human rights in monitoring and evaluation and support the implementation of a human rights-based approach on a larger scale of governance.
Finally, in late 2017, the UNESCO General Assembly unanimously voted to declare the establishment of an International Centre for the Promotion of Human Rights on the Local and Regional Levels, under the auspices of UNESCO. The International Centre for the Promotion of Human Rights at the Local and Regional Levels is thereby a designated UNESCO Category II Centre – an institution with the specific goal of capacity-building, knowledge sharing, and research. Several such Centres exist across the globe, but the Graz Centre is only the second worldwide to focus on human rights and the first focusing on the local level.
After 18 years of intensive activity in the local and regional implementation of human rights, the ETC has grown to a flourishing International Centre for the Promotion of Human Rights at the Local and Regional Levels, designated to host a UNESCO Category 2 Centre. The long-nurtured multi-governance, interdisciplinary, and human-rights based approach is set to expand from 2018 onwards, with strong support from actors at the local, federal, and national levels. Within a global, regional, local (municipal) and inter-regional scope, the work of the Centre will more broadly involve targeted research, capacity-building, clearing-housing, and international cooperation. We look forward to the challenge!


Woohooo! What a roller coaster ride. Yayy! I am in a Jurassic park. OMG! That dinosaur is coming towards me. Nooo! A sudden drop. Awesome! That was one heck of a trip. Whoa! What an experience. No, this is not about some amusement park I visited. No, this is not about an outing I went to. No, this is not about the future zone. This is about me sitting in a seat with my goggles on. Welcome to the world of Virtual Reality!


Checking the bees in July.
I was a little worried. One of the hives I manage had a bad die off from some pesticides a neighbor applied early in the year, and they have had a hard time coming back. I've spoken with the perpetrator, and they have seen the light (vinegar kills plants too!). The hive in Duvall has been a struggle. I may not run it again there next year (more on that later). The hive at the farm though is doing well. In fact, given that I pulled a split out of them in April, they are doing really well. There is still some bloom to go, and they have a super and change full, as well as both the brood chambers jammed with honey and a good supply of pollen. But don't take my word for it, check it out!

Seems like about this time every year, I've gotten to catch a swarm. This year it was from a hive I am 'maintaining' at a friends house about three miles away. I say 'maintaining' because in theory, if they swarmed, I wasn't doing my job very well. But hey, they are Italian… A dinner guest of theirs was able to shoot a video of me hiving the swarm. Enjoy!!
Also, for the curious, I have been taking photos, and gardening, fairing, planing, mowing, milking and such at a rabid pace. As things slow down after all the food is put up for the fall, I'll get back to sharing 'what I did on my summer vacation'.

So the wonderful farmer J said "fine, just don't fall off the ladder" with the same intonations as she might tell our eldest that she could go play in the rain, but wold be doing her own laundry.. Awesome!
The swarm was about 14′ off the ground over a sidewalk, and I could 'just' reach the branch with the loppers. I managed to get them down, and shaken into an empty hive body. A few bees ended up back on the stub of a branch and after things had mellowed out, I clipped that off and tossed it in the hive as well. top screen and entrance screen and home I went!
That's about four pounds of bees!

I have been rendering wax in the house and I think I can possibly re-coat the old placticell with new wax and they will be more 'useable'. Till then, they are getting drawn comb… My hopes are still high, Chesnut, Locust, blackberry and fire-weed. And I'm keeping my eyes open for knot-weed… For now, they are happy with my feed, and pollen from the dandy lions and the sun….

El balón intraaórtico de contrapulsación, o balón de contrapulsación intraaortico (BCIA) es un balón alargado, usualmente de látex, conectado a un catéter y que se coloca en la aorta descendente como parte principal de un sistema de asistencia circulatoria mecánica intracorpórea temporal, con el objetivo de mejorar el aporte de oxígeno al miocardio y reducir la carga de trabajo del corazón, en pacientes con trastornos de la función circulatoria y un estado alterado de su hemodinámica como consecuencia de hipovolemia, infarto, sobrecarga de volumen o trastornos mecánicos.

Mecanismo de acción

El balón es inflado en diástole y desinflado en presistole en forma sincrónica con el ciclo cardiaco mediante una consola que insufla y extrae helio del balón. La mejoría de aporte de oxígeno al miocardio y la reducción de la carga de trabajo del corazón se logra mediante la contrapulsación, es decir al inflado del balón en la diástole lo que tiene como resultado un aumento de la presión durante la diástole en el compartimiento proximal y del flujo sanguíneo coronario y por lo tanto la mejoría de la perfusión del miocardio, simultáneamente durante la sístole se desinfla en forma rápida, disminuyendo el consumo de oxígeno del miocardio en el ventrículo izquierdo al reducir la presión sistólica aórtica y por lo tanto la tensión sistólica ventricular.

Técnica de implantación

Generalmente el balón se inserta vía percutánea pero en algunos casos puede hacerse vía abierta (o por disección) femoral o transaortica Se coloca en la aorta descendente después (o a la izquierda) de la arteria subclavia.

Indicaciones

En general con la contrapulsación lo que se busca es la mejoría hemodinámica y metabólica en pacientes con patologías cardíacas y colapso circulatorio como:

 Shock postcardiotomia
 Isquemia perioperatoria.
 Insuficiencia primaria del miocardio.
 Insuficiencia mitral aguda debida a rotura papilar.
 Como puente o soporte circulatorio en espera de trasplante
 Como complemento a los dispositivos de asistencia ventricular
 Como preparación para cirugía cardiaca en caso de fallo en procedimientos percutáneos

Contraindicaciones

 Disección aórtica
 Insuficiencia aórtica significativa
 Aneurismas torácicos
 Insuficiencia vascular periférica grave
 Discracias sanguíneas

What are the bowl odds?
The regular season and championship Saturday have concluded in college football, and now, the bowl schedule has been set. And, we're obviously keenly interested in the Florida schools that are involved in the upcoming games, including the two "New Year's 6" contests.
In the Gasparilla Bowl Thursday December 20th, USF is a surprising 2 1/2 point underdog to the Marshall Thundering Herd. Marshall, out of Conference USA, did pull off an upset of Florida International on the final day of the regular season. And, you are probably aware that the Bulls lost their last five games in a row doing them no favors with the oddsmakers. Still, it's interesting that in a game that is essentially a home one for USF, they are not at least favored.
The following day on Friday December 21st Butch Davis' FIU Panthers will be playing Toledo in the Bahamas and the Rockets have been installed as a six-point favorite in that one. While that might be surprising, Toledo did win four of their last five games and scored at least 45 points in all four wins.
One line that is surprising is the Peach Bowl for Saturday December 29th. That's when the Gators take on the Michigan Wolverines out of the Big Ten. And, the oddsmakers already have great belief in Jim Harbaugh and his team, installing them as a seven-point favorite. Florida won their final three games of the regular season to finish with a 9-3 record, while Michigan was wiped out by Ohio State in their rivalry game two weeks ago.
Still Vegas believes much more in Harbaugh and the Big Ten, at least initially, in this one.
And finally, UCF is playing New Year's afternoon in the "New Year 6" Fiesta Bowl against LSU, and they still aren't getting very much respect. That's because the oddsmakers have the Tigers favored by 7 1/2 over the unbeaten Knights. UCF however, is going to be undaunted coming off of their blowout win over Memphis in the American Conference Championship Game 58 to 41.
LSU meantime has dropped three games, including their 7 overtime 74 – 72 lost to Texas A&M two weeks ago. The SEC traditionally has the deepest and most talented league in college football, and that has to be why Vegas is disrespecting UCF once again.
Then again, we know exactly how that worked out and what happened to Auburn in last year's Peach Bowl.


Currently, I am working on an MA in philosophy at ASU. My long term goal is to eventually be a professor, speaker, and writer in philosophy. My short term goal is to start a blog of my own on various intellectual topics.
I am interested in a position like yours because, besides being hard work, it strikes me as rewarding work. Also, the experiences learned will be challenging and thus invaluable. I have been doing much writing for the past eight years, with such writing always receiving good evaluations from over dozens of professors. Moreover, I have done a large amount of teaching, tutoring, and review board editing. And in the past, I published a few times in my college newspaper. It was a lot of fun. In the past two years, I've successfully worked on the phone doing sales and customer service with countless people from various backgrounds and ages. Because of my experience, I am confident that I tremendous communication skills, work ethic, and writing ability.


"That means a new and different leadership, greater transparency and greater accountability, collaboration, and communication." she said.
Speaking without notes, the state's 28th Chief Justice said that the first year of her tenure—which began on January 3, 2011—was marked by the single largest budget reduction ever to the judiciary. At the same, the judiciary has seen a 20 percent increase in court filing during the past decade.
The Chief Justice made it clear that her present agenda is to adequately fund the judicial branch, but the current difficulties will not deter her from focusing on the next generation of Californians. When children are suspended or drop out from high school, she said, studies show that they are at a greater risk of entering the juvenile justice system and then the adult prison system. The judicial system can't wait until that happens, she said, and needs to recognize this "looming problem" and create the "restorative partnerships" needed to return these children to school.
A copy of the speech, as prepared, can be found here.

Home Featured Blogs Yes, it's too much to ask
Yes, it's too much to ask
Aaron Hecht
Pro-Palestinian protest (Photo: Facebook)
It's been a rough couple of weeks here in Israel, as anyone who reads these blogs will know. The residents of the southern communities near the Gaza Strip had the worst part, except perhaps for those who live in Lod, Acre, Jaffa, Haifa and some other mixed Arab and Jewish cities where riots broke out which resulted in heartbreaking destruction and violence.
For the rest of us, including Israelis like me who live in parts of the country where no rockets fell and no riots broke out (there were some fairly rowdy demonstrations a few blocks away from our apartment, but they didn't get out of hand and they didn't reach us) the conflict still touched our lives in the form of the "battle of the narratives" on social and traditional media.
My Facebook feed was packed with videos showing outrageous statements by celebrities, politicians and activists all over the world condemning Israel for the crime of existing. There was of course pushback from Israeli politicians and supporters, and the amount of support Israel got from US President Joe Biden and several European and Latin American governments was a pleasant surprise which showed that the anti-Israel narrative wasn't as dominant as it might seem to be.
But there was plenty of celebrities, athletes, comedians and other "influencers" who attacked Israel and these attacks were responded to by Israel's supporters and a rhetorical question which came up over and over again in these discussions which I'd like to address, and that rhetorical question was "is it too much to ask for people to see the truth about what's going on? Is it too much to ask for people to use their brains? Is it too much to ask for people to look objectively at this situation and see that Hamas is to blame for this war and the suffering it's causing in both Israel and Gaza? Is it too much to ask to support Israel's right to defend itself against these rockets?
The answer to all of these questions is, sadly, yes.
It is too much to ask.
It has been rare in human history for arguments based on fairness, truth, rationality and logic to prevail against arguments based on emotion. Advertisers know this, for instance, and that's why most of the commercials we are exposed to on the internet, TV, radio, etc. appeal to our emotions in order to persuade us to buy stuff that we usually have little or no logical reason to buy.
In this context, the unfair, one-sided rhetorical attacks on Israel and the accompanying defense of Hamas' indefensible actions do not follow any logical or rational pattern. They are, by their very definition, illogical and irrational according to human understanding.
Beyond that, as I said in last weeks blog, the rockets, riots and the massive surge in attacks against ordinary Jewish people minding their own business in New York, London, Paris and many other cities around the world, are merely manifestations of Lucifer the Devil's spiritual war against the Human Race, directed at Israel and the Jewish People specifically because of the role Israel and the Jewish People have been assigned by God in the salvation and redemption of the Human Race.
So yes, it is too much to ask people who do not understand spiritual matters to be persuaded by rational, logical, truthful arguments.
To repeat the quote from Derek Prince, "The kingdom of Satan is a kingdom of darkness and most of the people who are in it don't know that they're in it."
To be angry and frustrated with such people is natural, but it's also very unhelpful. For reasons I've already explained, it's also unhelpful to try and argue with such people by appealing to truth, logic, rationality or a sense of fairness.
If you want to have a positive impact on such people and if you want to have a positive impact on the overall situation, the thing to do is to engage in spiritual warfare by praying into the situation. It's always better to talk to the One who can actually make a difference, rather than those hapless individuals who are so wrapped up in their irrational, illogical hatred of Israel and the Jews that they can't or won't be convinced.
The source of all that irrational and illogical hatred is the kingdom of Satan and his demons, and the way to push back against it is to get behind the plans and purposes of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ and His angels. Get involved in the work of establishing and carrying out those plans and purposes by praying into them and encouraging others in your circle of influence to do the same.
You might not have 1.3 million followers on Twitter, but you've got family members and friends and people who will listen to you and take you seriously. If you tell them that you're praying for God's plans for Israel and the Jewish People to be advanced and ask them to join you in those prayers, some of them will indeed join you, and the ones who don't are not your responsibility.
As a footnote, the seemingly random attacks on Jewish people, Jewish-owned businesses and synagogues and community centers etc. around the world is moving many Jewish people to consider moving to Israel. If you have any ability to assist those people in their journey, that would also be a good way to get involved in God's plans and purposes for this season of history that we're in.

Thanks for sharing the Byron (Byron, n.d.) slides on creativity. The SCAMPER framework (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to other uses, Eliminate and Reverse) contains many useful questions that allow for a developmental approach to a situation. Perhaps Byron's framework is more suited to physical materials development. I'd like to supplement this with a look at a method that is aimed at educational research genesis.
"[A] passerby encounters a drunk on his hands and knees under a street lamp. He offers to help and finds out that the drunk is looking for his house keys. After several minutes, he asks, 'Where did you drop them?' The drunk replies that he dropped them outside his front door. 'Then why look for them here?' asks the passerby. 'Because,' says the drunk, 'there is no light by my doorway.'" (Senge, 1990, pp. 45–46).
Wagner's (1993) way of discovering blind spots is to adopt interdisciplinary views on a single topic. His idea is as relevant today as it was then (hence the article's reprint in Thompson & Walker's, 2010 Doctoral Companion), as interdisciplinary perspectives still have much to offer education research.
I'm wondering how much scope for lateral thinking my future supervisors will 'allow' me. The dialectical tensions between creativity and conformity may well be a recurrent feature of the relationship. Only time will tell.

Captain Lewis Mark Fant, United States Air Force Academy Class of 1964, went home to be with the Lord after a courageous battle with cancer. He died in Rockford, IL on September 23, 1998.
Mark was born on May 27, 1942 in Evansville, IN. to Minnie Arleen and Ralph Lyle Fant of Boonville, IN. Mark came to the Academy in 1960 and was a member of the 20th Cadet Squadron all four years. There, he excelled in academics, military training and intramural athletics. He was very well liked and appreciated by his fellow Trolls.
After graduating from the Air Force Academy, Mark completed pilot training at Vance AFB, Enid, OK, and served as a T-38 instructor pilot until June 1969. After leaving the Air Force, Mark was a commercial pilot for United Airlines, most recently as an A320 captain out of Chicago. Up until the day Mark was diagnosed with cancer, he had never missed a day's work. He often said he couldn't believe he was being paid for doing something he loved so much.
Mark was an active member of Rock Church in Rockford, IL, and a member of Promise Keepers. Mark loved flying, music, skiing, boating; but most of all, his family, friends and the Lord. Mark has left an unfillable hole in the hearts of so many who knew and loved him for his wonderful "Hoosier Humor" and his impeccable integrity.

Van Gaal wants improvement
Van Gaal: 'The result is important, but we have to improve'
Saturday 09 Jan 2016
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal
Manager Louis Van Gaal admitted Manchester United will have to play better than they did in their Emirates FA Cup third-round win over Sheffield United if they are to lift the trophy this season.
The Premier League side have lifted the trophy 11 times, but looked miles away from potential winners as they limped past a brave challenge from League One Sheffield United, with England captain Wayne Rooney scoring a 93rd-minute penalty to put his team in the hat for the fourth round.
Man Utd 1-0 Sheff Utd
Third round
Winning sides receive £67,500 from The FA prize fund
And, in an honest assessment of his team's performance, Van Gaal said: "The result was OK but the performance was not alright.
"We moved the ball too slowly. We had to play with wingers when you come up against defensive organisation like that. They had 10, 11 behind the ball. You have to make the pitch as big as possible in response and we didn't do that.
"The most important thing is the result, but we have to improve.
"The crowd can see that it is very difficult. It's not only frustrating for the fans, but also the players and the staff and everybody.
Sign up for The FA Peoples Cup
"I can imagine the manager of Sheffield United chose these tactics but maybe you can also see that they didn't have any chances. We had another clean sheet and we deserved to win.
"It wasn't good, I agree, but we have won. That's the most important thing in the FA Cup."
Sheffield United boss Nigel Adkins felt his side had done enough to force a replay, but was keen to take the positives from matching United for so long rather than dwell on the late sucker punch.

He said: "A replay would have been fantastic. There was a steely resolve and it's just a shame we haven't got it across the line.
"It's a shame. There were three results on offer and we wanted two of them. The respect Manchester United have shown us showed they knew it would be a tough game.
"We were sitting there with that defensive shape and great credit to the players. They showed determination to frustrate a very good Manchester United side.
Wayne Rooney fires home the winning penalty
"An honest endeavour to win the ball has given the referee the opportunity to give the penalty and unfortunately they have scored it.
"I think we need to take the positives from it. We've had a challenging start to the season but I've now been able to show consistency in selection.
"It was a good effort, it's just a shame we couldn't force the replay."
