Simon & Bassett occupied an office at 1112 Chestnut Street and included partners David B. Bassett and Edward P. Simon, recently of the firm of Caldwell & Simon. Simon was a product of Drexel Institute's program in architecture, and Bassett had attended classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
The output of the partners is wideranging, but includes a number of the residences on which many early 20th-century firms in Philadelphia based their practices. In 1908, for example, they were involved with the major development around Oak Lane for the Oak Lane Park Building Company. Residential development, however, was not all that the partners were capable of managing, and many of these early commissions demonstrate the commercial expertise that would become a mainstay of Edward P. Simon's long career. By 1911 the partners were producing designs for the Manufacturers Club at 150 South Broad Street; in 1912 they constructed the Garden Pier in Atlantic City, NJ; and in 1914 they designed for the City of Philadelphia a complex of police station, fire station, patrol garage, etc., at 22nd Street and Hunting Park Avenue. On the brink of the 1919 replacement of Bassett with E. P. Simon's Ecole-trained brother Grant M. Simon, the partners took on Lit Brothers as a client and began a residential operation for the Chester Shipbuilding Co. (Emergency Fleet Corporation) in Chester, PA, that would include 227 dwellings, one boarding house for 25, one hotel, and 23 apartments. On this commission they associated with G. Edwin Brumbaugh.

Q: How to use laravel Multiple Auth Guard for same controller laravel 5.2
I have and multiple auth Gard given below

Admin
Clients
Employee

i have

ItemController
        ->index.blade.php
        ->create.blade.php
        ->edit.blade.php

ItemKitController
        ->index.blade.php
        ->create.blade.php
        ->edit.blade.php

I want to use Client  and Employee Guard to access same Controller and view mention above.
is their any possible way.

A: maybe you want something like this
public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth:Admin,Clients,Employee');
    }

in your controller

A: You can use middleware like:
Route::group([ 'middleware' => ['Admin', 'Clients', 'Employee'] ], function(){
  Route::get('/Admin', 'AdminController@index');
  Route::get('/Clients', 'ClientsController@index');
  Route::get('/Employee', 'EmployeeController@index');

});

For instance, I have an admin middleware that checks if user id is 1
<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;
use Auth;
use Log;

class AuthAdmin
{
    private $admins; // Admin ids

    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        $this->admins = config('custom.admins'); // get configs
        $user = Auth::user();

        if($user->id != 1)){
            // not admin, redirect home
            return redirect('/');
        }

      // is admin, let request continue
      return $next($request);
    }
}

Then you have to add it to Kernel.php  "$routeMiddleware":
protected $routeMiddleware = [
        'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
        'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
        'can' => \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\Authorize::class,
        'guest' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class,
        'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,

        // Custom Middleware
        // Auth Admin
        'auth_admin' => \App\Http\Middleware\AuthAdmin::class,
    ];

Then in my routes:
Route::group([ 'middleware' => ['auth_admin'] ], function(){

    // nobody can come to these routes but admins
    Route::get('/admin/index', 'AdminController@index');
});

A local Florida native to Safety Harbor, Bobby's education background begins in science, with a bachelor's degree in aeronautical science from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach. His training with Sea Dog began in Bangor, Maine in 2012. There he learned the old-world English style brewing of beer. Sea Dog's brewing system is a Peter-Austin system, which was the first generation of microbreweries, and was developed by Mr. Austin himself in England in 1978. Upon learning the trade of brewing, he really began to feel inspired to develop new recipes for Sea Dog.
Now, Baker has the freedom to develop recipes on a weekly basis- some that stay in the tasting room & and some that venture into Sea Dog's on-premise accounts. He oversees a 20-barrel brewing system at the Clearwater location, responsible for the distribution of beer all the way from Key West to Pensacola. Most of his inspiration comes from local chefs- food inspired beer. Offering beers with such diverse flavor profiles, Baker enjoys knowing that his customers can always expect a complex -food driven beverage here at the Tasting room.
Sean is a native Floridian, hailing from Daytona Beach. He's been with Sea Dog Clearwater as Bobby's Assistant Brewer and right-hand man since the day we opened. He loves brewing and his favorite style is Saison.
Megan, hailing originally from New Hampshire, began her Sea Dog career managing promotions and tastings. Now, she is the Queen of the Tap Room, keeping everyone organized and bringing new faces into the brewery. She's always got a smile on her face, and is definitely the sweetest of the Sea Dog Clearwater family.

The Raiders flew across the country to take on the Miami Dolphins looking for their first win of the season against a team that was undefeated.
Jon Gruden and his squad entered the game winless largely due to their inability to close out, whether on the road or at home. The Raiders held a second-half lead much like their first two games, but they were also unable to close out a win, just like their first two games.
The Raiders held a 17-to-7 lead in the third quarter after a touchdown run by Marshawn Lynch but were only able to add a 52-yard field goal by Mike Nugent after that.
Meanwhile, the Raiders defense gave up three straight touchdowns to a suddenly explosive Dolphins offense. The Dolphins took their first lead of the game when wide receiver Jakeem Grant took a pass on a trick play 52 yards to give them the 21-to-17 lead in the fourth quarter.
Derek Carr and the Raiders offense had a chance to bounce back but veteran Dolphins pass rusher Cameron Wake broke through the offensive line to hit Carr as he let go of the ball and was intercepted in the end zone.
The Dolphins wouldn't hesitate to take advantage of the added possession, finding wide receiver Albert Wilson on a shovel pass, who used his speed to take it 72 yards and into the end zone to put them up 28-to-17 at the two-minute warning. In all, the Raiders defense allowed 150 yards on four plays and two touchdowns in those two final drives.
The Silver & Black had plenty of opportunities to put points on the board but completed just 40 percent of their chances in the red zone. One of the Raiders failures came when they faced fourth and goal and opted to hand the ball off to fullback Keith Smith, who got stuffed at the line of scrimmage and the Raiders turned the ball over on downs.
Carr continued his strong play from last week, finishing 27-f0r-39 for 345 yards and one touchdown but also added two interceptions. Carr's second interception came when he threw the ball into triple coverage as he tried to find wide receiver Amari Cooper.
A week after Cooper's big game, it was veteran Jordy Nelson who found his chemistry with Carr. Nelson hauled in six receptions for 173 yards and one touchdown.
The Raiders defense once again struggled to create a pass rush, recording just one sack on quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
Gruden's offense out gained the Dolphins offense 434 yards to 373 yards and nearly doubled them up in first downs (25 to 13) but failed scoring opportunities proved to be the difference for in the loss.
The Raiders return home to take on a suddenly confident Cleveland Browns team that will seemingly have a new look with what appears rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield taking over.

Nard n' Pat #1
Nard n' Pat
1974-1981 / Cartoonists Co-Op Press - Kitchen Sink
Though Jay Lynch has a long list of distinguished accomplishments that touch on many areas of pop culture, Nard and Pat are his signature characters in underground comics. The two issues of Nard n' Pat represent only a fraction of the characters' popularity, as they appeared in the Chicago Seed, Gothic Blimp Works, Purple Cat, Radical America and multiple issues of Bijou Funnies in the late '60s and early '70s before this series.
Lynch may seem to linger on the fringe of the history of underground comics, but in fact he played a key role in their birth. As a youth in the '50s, Lynch fell in love with Mad and later discovered The Realist, which gave him hope for humanity after years of thinking nobody thought like he did. The Realist showed him the possibilities of what a free press and free exchange of ideas could mean to society at large. As Lynch told The Comics Journal in 1987, "Here was a magazine that pointed out, through satire, the hypocrisies in the society that nobody else dared even speak of, let alone print discussions of."
In 1961, Lynch read a letter from Joe Pilati in Cracked magazine that referenced his satire fanzine Smudge and gave his address, which led Lynch into the world of humor fanzines. Lynch and Skip Williamson both contributed cartoons to the fanzine Wild in '62 and that same year Lynch moved from Florida to live on his own in Chicago at age 17. He was soon writing and drawing comics for college and national humor magazines like Cracked, Sick and Harvey Kurtzman's Help! In 1967, he launched the Chicago Mirror and converted that into Bijou Funnies in '68, featuring work by Lynch, Williamson, Jay Kinney, Art Spiegelman, Robert Crumb and Gilbert Shelton. Nard 'n Pat stories were featured in all eight issues of Bijou Funnies.
Nard is a conservative shlub of a guy who continually falls prey to the hip, horny and self-centered Pat, who is ostensibly a cat but talks and acts like a human. Nard and Pat are more like roommates than master and pet, but when riled Nard will point out that he is supposed to be the master. The characters were based on two people Lynch had known in real life, but over time Nard 'n' Pat became more reflective of the relationship between Lynch and his wife. The two issues of Nard n' Pat include both original and reprinted material from Bijou and other sources.
Lynch went on to write the long-running Phoebe & the Pigeon People strip (illustrated by Gary Whitney) for the Chicago Reader, the best of which were collected into three Kitchen Sink comic books. Lynch also was a teacher at the Chicago Art Institute and contributed to several popular comic series, like Topps' Zorro and Dark Horse's Duckman. His new book for children, Otto's Orange Day, has received excellent reviews, and he recently branched out into writing songs and working with musicians.
Jay Lynch is one of my favorite underground comic creators. He really knows how to write funny, concise stories, and is (in my mind) highy underrated as a comic illustrator. Besides his detailed ink work, which elevate his best work near the top of the underground fellowship, Lynch has a great sense of composition, well exemplified by the cover for Nard n' Pat #1.

Q: Compute the triple integral I want to compute the following triple integral:
$$\iiint_{x^2+y^2+z^2\le 2x}  x + z \,dV $$
What I've done so far is that I decided I will use spherical coordinates to solve the integral, as the region over which it should be integrated is a sphere centered at the point: $(1,0,0)$. I know this by bringing $2x$ to the other side of the equation and completing the square. Next I set up the triple integral. In spherical we first integrate with respect to $r$, to find the bounds of the integral for r, I know that $r$ is always positive so the lower bound is $0$, and the upper bound can by found by substituting $r^2$ into $x^2+y^2+z^2$ we then get $r^2\le 2x $, $x = rsin\phi cos\theta $ therefore $r^2\le 2rsin\phi cos\theta $ and  $r\le 2sin\phi cos\theta$ so the bounds for $r$ are $0\le r\le 2sin\phi cos\theta$ I'm wondering if this is correct or that $r$ is simply between 0 and 1 because the radius of the sphere is $1$. Then I found the bounds for $\phi$ as we integrate with respect to $\phi$ next. I set $x=1$ then we get $y^2+z^2 \le 1 $ which is a circle of radius $1$ on the $yz$-plane since  $\phi$ is never greater than $\pi$ I set the boundary for $\phi$ as $0\le \phi \le \pi $. Next I find the bounds for $\theta$, I set $z=0$ and get $(x-1)^2 + y^2 \le 1$ this is a circle of radius one in the $xy$-plane centered at $(1,0) $ so I set the boundary $\frac{-\pi}2 \le \theta \le \frac{\pi}2 $. Then I changed the function $f(x,y,z)$ to $f(r,\phi,\theta)$ $$x + z = rsin\phi cos\theta + rcos\phi$$ Finally I get the integral( with the Jacobian ) :
$$\int_{\frac{-\pi}2}^{\frac{\pi}2} \int_0^{\pi} \int_0^{2sin\phi cos\theta}  \, rsin\phi cos\theta + rcos\phi\, (r^2sin\phi) \,drd\phi d\theta $$
When I started integrating I started getting very nasty integrals with sin to the power of 6 and 5 and even if r=1 I would still have quite complicated integrals. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Could someone please help me develop my work and point out any possible mistakes?.

A: With $X:=x-1$ your problem is $\iiint_{X^2+y^2+z^2\le 1}(X+z+1)dV$, an integral over a unit sphere. The simplest solution uses symmetry to note neither $X$ nor $z$ contributes to the final result, so we just get the volume $\frac{4\pi}{3}$.

Алекса́ндр Ива́нович Перегу́дин (30 декабря 1924, дер. Танеевка, Пензенская губерния — 24 ноября 1994, Хабаровск) — командир отделения 44-й отдельной разведывательной роты, гвардии сержант — на момент представления к награждению орденом Славы 1-й степени.

Биография
Родился 30 декабря 1924 года в деревне Танеевка (ныне — в  Республики Мордовия). Окончил 7 классов в школе села Горяйновка того же района. Рано начал помогать отцу и матери в поле, работал бригадиром в колхозе. В начале Великой Отечественной войны трудился на строительстве оборонительных линий вдоль реки Инсарка.

В сентябре 1942 года призван в Красную Армию. Окончил школу младших командиров в городе Кулебаки Горьковской области, получил специальность командира расчёта тяжёлого пулемёта, но воевать в этой должности не пришлось.

В стрелковом полку, куда младший сержант А. И. Перегудин прибыл с маршевой ротой, он стал миномётчиком. В январе 1943 года принял боевое крещение, был контужен, но остался в строю. Затем был автоматчиком, командиром отделения, помощником командира взвода. В составе этого полка форсировал Днепр, в боях под Киевом был ранен. После госпиталя из запасного полка попал в 42-ю гвардейскую стрелковую дивизию, в дивизионную разведку.

В бою под населённым пунктом Змеица разведчики действовали в боевых порядках пехоты. Группа, в составе которой был гвардии сержант А. И. Перегудин, обошла противника и внезапным ударом в рукопашной схватке уничтожила три пулемётные точки, мешавшие продвижению пехоты. За этот бой награждён орденом Красной Звезды.

В ночь на 14 августа 1944 года близ населённого пункта Броштень гвардии сержант А. И. Перегудин с разведчиками форсировал реку Сирет. Группа незаметно приблизилась к боевому охранению противника и внезапно атаковала его. Вынес в безопасное место раненого командира взвода. Действуя в тылу врага в том же районе, уничтожил пулемёт и его расчёт. Приказом от 21 сентября 1944 года гвардии сержант Перегудин Александр Иванович награждён орденом Славы 2-й степени.

3 сентября 1944 года в 40 км восточнее города Топлица гвардии сержант А. И. Перегудин с бойцами углубился во вражеский тыл, разведал систему укреплённых районов противника. Разведчики внезапно атаковали отряд врага и пленили свыше отделения солдат, захватив большое количество вооружения и боеприпасов. Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР от 28 апреля 1945 года за исключительное мужество, отвагу и бесстрашие в боях с вражескими захватчиками гвардии сержант Перегудин Александр Иванович награждён орденом Славы 1-й степени. Стал полным кавалером ордена Славы.

Войну разведчик закончил в Чехословакии. Участник парада Победы на Красной площади в июне 1945 года. В составе сводного полка 2-го Украинского фронта гвардии сержант А. И. Перегудин нёс знамя своей 42-й гвардейской стрелковой дивизии.

Q: How 'juju deploy' on dedicated OpenStack availability zone/aggregate in non-MAAS environment? the following problem is to solve:
- OpenStack Ocata (Ubuntu 16.04) (deployed with MAAS/Juju) with serveral availability zones / aggregates. Some are for testing, some for production
- Test-tenant in its own OpenStack domain and project
- Jump server VM in test-tenant (Ubuntu 18.04) with Juju 2.4
- Juju controller (bootstrapped from jump server in OpenStack cloud/region)
(NO MAAS in test-tenant !)
Now, we want to deploy a multi-node charm bundle with 'juju deploy' and make sure that every juju-initiated 'machine' would be created only on nova compute nodes in the 'testing' availability zone/aggregate.
Any suggestions or recommendations?
Regards
PS: What I did NOT want to achieve with this question:
- Hints and tips for 'juju deploy --to 0 xxx' or 'juju add-unit --to 1 xxx'
cause the target machines must still exist. I am searching solution for a 'green field' bundle deployment.

A: The deploy command allows for zone placement.
Here is the example from the 'juju deploy --help' command:
juju deploy mysql --to zone=us-east-1a
(provider-dependent; deploy to a specific AZ)

I believe that zone placements work with openstack, so targetting zone=testing should work.

A: The following is working  --> Juju 2.4
$ openstack availability zone list
+-----------+-------------+
| Zone Name | Zone Status |
+-----------+-------------+
| internal  | available   |
| default   | available   |
| testzone  | available   |  <--- desired AZ
| nova      | available   |
+-----------+-------------+

# juju model-config zone='testzone'
# juju deploy cs:ubuntu-12 --constraints "root-disk=8G" --to zone='testzone' ubuntu01

Each deployed machine will start in the desired AZ.
What´s NOT working:
# juju deploy canonical-kubernetes --to zone='testzone'
ERROR flags provided but not supported when deploying a bundle: --to

So you have to deploy your services step by step and reproduce the charm-bundle with single charm and relation deployment.  :-(
I am currently investigating some possibilities forcing a zone to a local bundle.
Many thanks !

Black Kapital Records is an American independent record label founded by Suge Knight.

History

In early 2008, Death Row Records' co-founder and former CEO Suge Knight formed a new record company called Black Kapital Records as a vehicle of releases after his former label Death Row Records filed for bankruptcy, rumored to be due to having few artists and Knight's prison time. Suge Knight alongside Manager Nino Cappuccino, Young Life and label A&R executive Lesane Casino debuted a reality show called Unfinished Business. The show was based on Knight dispelling long-standing rumors in sit down interviews, his days with Death Row and the artists he worked with, and finding new talent for his record label. On September 20, 2018, Knight pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 28 years in prison.

An overview of how the Assembly came together.
It should be conceded, without fear of intelligent contradiction, that the Westminster Confession of Faith, Larger and Shorter Catechisms are the finest creedal formulations of the Christian Faith that the church of Christ has yet produced. This is not to deny that in certain particulars some other creeds may surpass these Westminster standards, nor does it mean that these standards have attained such a degree of perfection that they could not possibly be improved. But it does mean that they are the most perfect creedal exhibitions that we possess of the truth revealed in Holy Scripture. Many people are familiar with the Confession and Catechisms and yet know very little regarding the history of the Assembly that produced these documents.
One of the most important Parliaments that ever existed in England was what is known as the Long Parliament. It continued from November 1640, until it was dissolved by Oliver Cromwell in April 1653. It was this Parliament that was responsible for the calling of the Westminster Assembly of Divines.
In 1642 a declaration of the Parliament of England was sent to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. This declaration contained a plea for the prevention of civil war. The answer of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland deplored the tardiness with which the reformation of religion progressed, and contended that religion is not only the means of the service of God and the saving of souls but also "the base and foundation of kingdomes and estates". It also reiterated the plea "that in all his Majestie's dominions there might be one Confession of Faith, one Directory of Worship, one publick Catechisme, and one form of Kirk Government".
On April 19, 1642, the House of Commons ordered that the names of divines fit to be consulted with be presented to the House. In less than a week this list was completed. It consisted of two divines from each county in England, two from each university, two from the Channel Islands, one from each county in Wales, and four from the city of London.
Chapter XXIII of the Westminster Confession of Faith deals with "the Civil Magistrate". Section III of this chapter reads as follows: "The civil magistrate may not assume to himself the administration of the Word and sacraments, or the power of the keys of the kingdom of heaven: yet he hath authority, and it is his duty, to take order, that unity and peace be preserved in the Church, that the truth of God be kept pure and entire; that all blasphemies and heresies be suppressed; all corruptions and abuses in worship and discipline prevented or reformed; and all the ordinances of God duly settled, administered, and observed. For the better effecting whereof, he hath power to call synods, to be present at them, and to provide that whatsoever is transacted in them be according to the mind of God." The last sentence of this section is the defense, on the part of the Westminster Assembly, of that Ordinance of the English Parliament of 1643 in accordance with which the Assembly convened on July 1st of that year. The Westminster Assembly was the creature of the Long Parliament.
The Westminster divines did not, of course, regard the authority of Parliament or of any civil magistrate as essential to the calling of an assembly such as the Westminster Assembly was. In Chapter XXXI, which deals with "Synods and Councils", the divines also said: "As magistrates may lawfully call a synod of ministers, and other fit persons, to consult and advise with, about matters of religion; so, if magistrates be open enemies to the Church, the ministers of Christ of themselves, by virtue of their office, or they, with other fit persons, upon delegation from their Churches, may meet together in such assemblies" (Section II). Nevertheless the Westminster Assembly was actually convened by Ordinance of Parliament.
The Assembly consisted of some one hundred and fifty members. Thirty were members of Parliament, the remainder divines, representing the chief parties of English Protestants except that of Archbishop Laud.
The Assembly was called to meet on July 1, 1643. Two days before the meeting a royal proclamation was issued prohibiting the meeting. Notwithstanding this royal interdict, sixty-nine of those appointed met. They convened in Westminster Abbey for divine service, and both Houses of Parliament adjourned for the purpose of attending the service of worship. Dr. Twisse, the prolocutor of the Assembly, preached. After divine service the members of the Assembly met in the Chapel of Henry VII. The Assembly adjourned until July 6th.
(1) That two Assessors be joined to the Prolocutor, to supply his place in case of absence or infirmity.
(2) That Scribes be appointed, to set down all proceedings, and those to be Divines, who are not of the Assembly, viz. Mr. Henry Robens and Mr. Adoniram Byfield.
(3) Every member, at his first entry into the Assembly, shall make serious and solemn protestation, not to maintain any thing but what he believes to be truth in sincerity, when discovered unto him.
(4) No resolution to be given upon any question the same day, wherein it is first propounded.
(5) What any man undertakes to prove as necessary, he shall make good out of Scripture.
(6) No man to proceed in any dispute, after the Prolocutor has enjoined him silence, unless the Assembly desire he may go on.
(7) No man to be denied to enter his dissent from the Assembly, and his reasons for it, in any point, after it hath been first debated in the Assembly, and thence (if the dissenting party desire it) to be sent to the Houses of Parliament by the Assembly, not by any particular man or men, in a private way, when either House shall require.
(8) All things agreed on and prepared for the Parliament, to be openly read and allowed in the Assembly, and then offered as the judgment of the Assembly, if the major part assent. Provided that the opinion of any persons dissenting, and the reasons urged for it, be annexed thereunto, if the dissenters require it, together with the solutions, if any were given to the Assembly, to these reasons.
When the Assembly met on July 8th, the following protestation was taken by every member, Lords and Commons, as well as divines: "I, A.B. do seriously and solemnly protest, in the presence of Almighty God, that in this Assembly, whereof I am a member, I will not maintain any thing in matters of doctrine, but what I think in my conscience to be truth; or in point of discipline, but what I shall conceive to conduce most to the glory of God, and the good and peace of his church." This protestation, it should be noted, is of the nature of a solemn oath. It would be well for all to be animated by the spirit that evoked its composition and by the determination that the taking of it expresses.
In accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance quoted above, the Assembly was largely occupied for the first three months with the revision of the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England.

Surprise, Iraqi Resistance Bombs Green Zone!
The most outspoken pro-Zionist president in US history.
Sky News, doing what it does best—dispense war propaganda—broadcast this know-nothing report soon after "Iran" attacked the Green Zone in Baghdad this evening.
Two rockets have been fired into the Green Zone in Baghdad, Iraq causing sirens to go off at the US Embassy.
Our Middle East Correspondent @Stone_SkyNews says there is no suggestion that they are from Iran.

This fellow fails to name the group allegedly responsible—Kata'ib Hezbollah, depicted as a zombified Iranian proxy. (On the other hand, this attack may be a false flag to drive the war narrative forward and keep the heat on Iran. Point is, we really don't know.)
Kata'ib Hezbollah is a Shia paramilitary organization formed when George Bush and his neocon handlers invaded Iraq in 2003. It was specifically organized to resist Dick Cheney's illegal and brutal invasion. It's leader, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, was murdered along with Iranian major general Qasem Soleimani on January 3.
Additionally, the chattering teleprompter readers and newspaper scribblers say almost nothing in regard to the Preamble to the 1899 Hague Convention II on Land War (specifically the Martens Clause) or the 1977 Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts. Article 1, Paragraph 4 refers to armed conflicts "in which peoples are fighting against colonial domination and alien occupation and against racist regimes."
Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was killed specifically for his resistance to US occupation in addition to his relationship with Iran, which was natural considering he was a Shia Muslim, as are most Iraqis, and there are strong religious and cultural ties between what are now Iraqi and Iranian Shias.
But we are not allowed to hear any of that from the war media. Instead, we are told Iran is responsible for the deaths of US soldiers illegally occupying Iraq. Forgotten is that fact both Sunni and Shia Iraqis have resisted US occupation for well over a decade. In the United States of Lies, this resistance is depicted as terrorism.
Soleimani was murdered because he planned to talk with the Saudis about deescalating tension in the Middle East. Trump's high-tech Mafia hit on Soleimani was also designed to please the Israelis. They have waged an assassination campaign against Palestinian activists for more than sixty years. Additionally, they have murdered a number of Iranian nuclear scientists and Lebanese Hezbollah leaders and activists (most notoriously Sayyed Abbas Musawi in 1992). It is safe to say the double hit in Baghdad was coordinated with the Israelis.
Donald Trump is the most outspoken pro-Zionist president in US history. The Zionist agenda, most urgently advocated by Bibi Netanyahu lo these many years, calls for the destruction of Iran on par with the destruction of Iraq and similar criminal acts in Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya by Bush, Obama, and Trump. Iranian nukes serve as a pretext, however flimsy, to realize the Israeli agenda of political control in neighboring states and the further annexation of land in the Golan and the West Bank (and no doubt beyond; the Israelis have coveted Lebanon's water resources for decades, i.e., Operation Litani).
Donald Trump's Kabuki theater of Fire and Fury must drive the neocons and Israelis up a wall, though. It was a different story under Bush. The neocons simply told a bunch of less than plausible lies, the media did the propagandizing and mesmerizing in preparation for the mass murder to follow, and it was off to the races.
It can be said we were a somewhat different people in the first couple of years after 9/11. Now most people distracted, they're inured to war, it has become part of the cultural fabric, it is endlessly portrayed as service to the nation in defense of freedom and liberty—and it's all bullshit.
Here's what the corporate media never tells you.
The killing of US soldiers in occupied Iraq is legal self-defense and resistance to alien occupation. Iran is not firing ineffective Katyusha rockets into the occupation Green Zone, Iraqis are. Iran is certainly provoking and assisting and can you really blame them? Brother and sister Shias just over the border are long-term occupied by alien invaders and the invaders keep making threats against Iran.
Reality is irrelevant for the reality TV president. Reality dictates people invaded and occupied will resist, often with devastating result. The most radical Zionists in Israel do not and never have planned to make peace with the Arabs and Muslims around them. They have worked for many decades to undermine Arab nationalism, engage in false-flag deception, assassinate opponents in Mafia fashion, and prevent the barbarians from coming together, to paraphrase the late globalist Zbigniew Brzezinski.

The United States is one of only 13 countries in the world where the rate of illness and death during pregnancy is rising. From 2000 to 2013, the U.S. experienced a substantial increase of 26.6 percent in maternal mortality.
According to the Center for Disease Control, Black mothers in the U.S. die at a staggering three to four times the rate of White mothers. Black women are also twice as likely to suffer from severe maternal morbidity than White mothers.
In April of 2019, during National Minority Health Month Rep. Alma Adams (D-NC) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) introduced legislation recognizing the inaugural Black Maternal Health Week. In effort to raise awareness about the growing problems around Black maternal health.
"This epidemic has reached crisis levels," she added.
On April 9, freshman Congresswoman Lauren Underwood joined Rep. Adams and co-launched the first first-ever Black Maternal Health Caucus.
"Launching the caucus sends a message that we are very concerned about the disparity as it relates to maternal health and African American women. That African American women and giving birth and being successful at giving birth and having healthy children is an important issue for this Congress and for our country," said Rep. Adams.
"Though it spends the most money, the US has the worst maternal death rate in the developed world. Rate is nearly four times worse for Black women than White women, even adjusted for education and income. I'm launching the Black Maternal Health Caucus to elevate this important issue," she tweeted.
Rep. Adams has also founded the first congressional caucus on Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Watch Kelly Clarkson's Gospel-Style Cover of Taylor Swift's 'Shake it Off'
Jesus took the wheel.
Over the weekend, Kelly Clarkson put a gospel twist on a song we didn't see coming: Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off." Clarkson re-imagined Swift's chart-climbing pop anthem at a concert in Buffalo, New York.
Before launching into the number, Clarkson invited the audience to guess what she'd be covering.
"This is a church song, this is a soulful song, this is one of my favorite songs out right now," she teased. "And you think you know it but you don't. It's not Sam Smith."
"I'm going to bring it in," she added. "Bring in a little Jesus."
Clarkson not only wowed the audience with her soulful rendition, but even Swift herself, who tweeted the following:
Now we just need Swift to cover Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone." That'd be fitting, no? Swift's new album 1989 dropped at 12 midnight and is currently curing our case of the Mondays.

Rockport man accused of murdering mother and grandparents uses insanity defense
Josh Reynolds | AP
Orion Krause stands with his attorney Edward Wayland at Krause's arraignment in Ayer District Court in Ayer, Mass., Monday, Sept. 11, 2017.
By Seth Koenig, BDN Staff • March 7, 2019 4:44 pm
Updated: March 7, 2019 7:48 pm
An attorney for Orion Krause — the Rockport man accused of the brutal 2017 murders of his mother, grandparents and a caretaker — entered an insanity plea on behalf of his client Thursday.
Defense attorney Edward Wayland said in an email that he notified prosecutors in Massachusetts, where the alleged crime took place, of his intention to argue Krause is not criminally responsible because of mental illness, a move that will delay the man's trial to allow for further mental evaluations.
The trial had been scheduled to begin April 22. Instead a status conference will take place that day, Wayland said.
The insanity defense has been expected since April of last year, when Krause pled not guilty and Wayland told the BDN "mental illness is the entire explanation for this tragedy."
Krause was charged with four counts of murder in the beating deaths of his mother, Elizabeth "Buffy" Krause, 60; her parents, Elizabeth "Esu" Lackey, 85, and Frank Danby "Dan" Lackey III, 89; and their home health aide, Bertha Mae Parker, 68, at the Lackeys' house on Common Street in Groton, Massachusetts.
If conviction on all charges, Krause faces a maximum of four life sentences without the possibility of parole.
Krause allegedly admitted to investigators that he committed the killings with a baseball bat at his grandparents' home, according to police reports from the Sept. 8, 2017 incident.
Police found the bodies of Krause's mother and grandparents sitting in chairs in the kitchen. Parker's body was found in a flower bed, according to the report.
Krause allegedly told investigators that he "freed them."
On the night of the killings, Krause allegedly called a former college professor and said, "I think I have to kill my mom."

STEEPED IN TRADITION, EXPANDING WITH TECHNOLOGY
Major investment in new plant will practically double output at the Simpson With established long-term contracts to fulfil, Simpson's Malt is gearing up for the increase in demand for malt production. Two new 350-tonne Germinating and Kilning Vessels (GKVs) are being constructed, with another two to follow next year together with new barley handling equipment and effluent plant. When the new equipment is commissioned,Berwick-upon-Tweed will be the largest privately-owned maltings in Europe, with an annual output close to 250,000 tonnes of white and green malt.At the heart of all this technology, however, is a cereal crop and the associated vagaries of weather – a poor barley harvest in any of the large crop-growing nations can have a knock-on effect that ripples right around the globe.
Chief Engineer Pat Richards explains; "It's not just bad harvests that affect the market – unusually good harvests affect supply and demand as well. The malting industry is a global one and we are affected by what happens elsewhere, even though we predominantly supply the UK. If you then factor into those peaks and troughs the emergence of new markets (increased demand for malt whisky in China, for example) there can be a lot of variables to contend with.""We need to mitigate against that by ensuring that we are as efficient as we can possibly be. When conditions get tough it's the inefficient plants that will go under." As Chief Engineer, Richards is ensuring that his maintenance department plays a pivotal role in the drive for increased efficiency."When I joined the business five years ago I introduced manual systems that moved us to a more preventative and predictive maintenance regime. The next stage was to give our engineers the means to update and review maintenance information electronically."
"Of all the options available to us, Mainsaver suited our requirements best and the implementation plan proposed by Spidex was delivered fully in line with our own productivity objectives." Mainsaver went live at Simpson's Malt in June 2007, and the benefits were already starting to appear not long afterwards.The company deployed Mainsaver's Shop Floor module on terminals throughout the giant site so that the engineers could log on and off within a reasonable distance of where they were working.
"Once we started to get daily intelligence into Mainsaver,we could see very clearly where we were spending our time. One small production area in which we knew we had regular problems actually turned out to be responsible for 30% of our work. The difference now is that we know the extent of the problem and can address it in an informed way.""Similarly, we gained a wealth of new detail on the small tasks that every maintenance department has to do. I can tell you very accurately how long it will take three of my engineers to build a conveyor and how much it will cost.What I couldn't do previously was tell you how much time and expense was going on ten-minute jobs. Now I have that information and we can target preventative maintenance in order to reduce them. "
Another success story brought about by the Mainsaver installation has been a significant move towards best practice in the management of stores.Mainsaver now holds details of all the spares Simpson's needs for the site, their optimum on-hand quantities and where each is used. The overall value of the stockholding is now known, unnecessary stockholding has been eliminated and there are always critical spares available when required."The conveyors are operating at full-tilt, all the time." says Richards. "When you are running continuously, all day every day, it is absolutely vital that the equipment is backed up by the appropriate inventory so that a component that cannot be fixed is immediately replaced.""If a kiln fan breaks down and we lose a day's production because we don't have a replacement part to hand, that equates to around 300 tonnes of white malt. And that day is lost forever - we don't have spare ones in which we can catch up."
"Good management of stores is therefore essential, and we're now achieving that with Mainsaver."One further encouraging outcome from Mainsaver's deployment at Simpson's Malt could be on departmental headcount. It is a common fallacy that maintenance management software is used primarily to identify over-manning and create the case for redundancies. Not in this case.Pat Richards; "Mainsaver shows me how many jobs are still outstanding on the work queue, the number of engineer hours available to do them and the subsequent percentage job completion rate." "Using this information, I have been able to put together a strong justification for recruiting two additional engineers. It's just another example of the priceless information that is now available to me."

The sale will include a historic original copy of the 19th Ammendment, which guaranteed women the right to vote.
A historic document which helped changed the course of women's rights in the U.S is amongst the top lots in the latest auction by One of a Kind Collectibles.
The new law gave women the right to vote for the first time, and was the result of decades of hard-fought campaigning by the women's suffrage movement in the United States.
It had initially been introduced in Congress in 1878 by California Senator Aaron A. Sargent, but took a further 41 years for it to be finally ratified and written into law.
In August 1920 thirty-six states voted to ratify the amendment, with the final necessary vote from Tennessee coming in the night before the ratification period was set to expire.
The document offered by One of a Kind Collectibles is one of the original 'true' copies of the amendment, sent out by the Secretary of State during this process which helped change the face of American democracy.
The importance of the document means it could fetch up to $20,000 when it crosses the auction block later this month.
"It's always an incredible feeling to hold and touch documents that changed history," said David Gindy, president and owner of One of a Kind Collectibles.
The document is just one of dozens of historic items on offer, which also include political memorabilia, autographs, books, manuscripts and space memorabilia.
For collectors seeking presidential autographs, notable lots include documents signed by Franklin D. Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln, along with the highly rare signature of William Henry Harrison – the ninth U.S President who lasted just a single month in office before he died in 1841.

Welcome friends! I hope that your week is off to a great start! I can't believe that Thanksgiving is next week. Today, I am so excited to be joining some of my sweet blogging friends to bring you our Thanksgiving tables. This special gathering is being hosted by the talented, Amber, at Follow the Yellow Brick Home. If you are visiting from The Painted Hinge, I am so happy that you stopped by for a visit. A list of all of the participants is posted below.
For my Thanksgiving table, I chose to mix traditional fall colors with metallic accents.
Each placesetting consists of a gold scalloped charger plate topped with a plate stack of mixed china. The first layer is Mikasa English Countryside followed by Johnson Brothers Friendly Village, and topped with my Great Grandmother's Haviland china. For added texture, burlap placemats anchor each setting. Rounding out the look are Mikasa Golden Tiara crystal and Onieda Michelangelo flatware.
The centerpiece is comprised of a lace table runner topped with tall gold candlesticks and gold metallic urns flanked with fall floral globe arrangements. Autumn berries are scattered about.
You will also find the china hutch that displays my Spode Blue Italian china adorned for autumn.
Fall berries, pumpkins, and gourds are scattered about the shelves. I adore the way the autumn colors accent the blue and white china.
I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your visits and sweet comments. I want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. May we all enjoy the company of those we love and remember our many blessings. Next up on the tour is Art and Sand.
Oh my, Shannon ~ your table is fabulous. Your centerpiece is gorgeous and I so love the autumn berries twining around. Your mixture of patterns with your dishes works beautifully together.

God of War - A Path to Jotunheim, Tyr's Secret Chamber and the Hall of Tyr
How to complete A Path to Jotunheim.
A Path to Jotunheim, Tyr's Secret Chamber and the Hall of Tyr come towards the end of God of War PS4's main story.
This page follows on from Escape from Helheim, Helheim Landing, Helheim Ship and Skies of Helheim.
A Path to Jotunheim, Tyr's Secret Chamber
In the Realm Travel Room, select Midheim and exit to Brok's Shop, showing him all that stuff you learned about Tyr's key plans.
After a touching moment with his brother Sindri, they make it - Tyr's Key to a mysterious door...
Locate Tur's mysterious door
Head outside, following your waypoint down the side of Tyr's temple, and you'll soon approac a locked door in the side of the temple with a triangular handle on the front.
Insert the key and enter Tyr's hidden chamber.
Explore Tyr's hidden chamber
Head up the steps and shoot the light crystal ahead, and go up the ramp into the next room - the Realm Travel Room! - only it's different. You're actually under the regular version, and up above you to one side is the glowing shape of the thing you need to progress to Jotunheim.
Interact with Boy for a bit of dialogue and then work your way round to the south to another door outside, across another light bridge, where you can follow a corridor to a room called the Hall of Tyr.
The Hall of Tyr
Ahead of you are two lovely statues, and in the middle of the room is yet another sand bowl. Puzzle time!
Look to the East to see a rune in the wall - and above it that white glowing thing from the Realm Travel Room.
Walk towards it and interact when prompted - you need to flip the entire Realm Travel Room on its head!
Only, you can't - there are chains, one on either side of it, that hold it in place. So, your next job is the break the chains, then flip the room.
Break the chains
Go back to the sand bowl, and it's been replaced with a lever. Turn it and you'll be lowered down to another level. Look to the West for another Shrine to read.
There are now two directions to go on - one for each chain - and they're both broadly the same. Left or right, you're going to need to go through a corridor full of traps, then fight a gauntlet of enemies in a chamber at the end, and then repeat it for the other side. Let's go left first.
In the left (Norther) corridor, there are a load of twirling, spinning discs rotating around the room. You need to freeze them, on at a time, until they all line up, then when they're spinning around together there'll be room for you to dash by on one side.
Start by hitting the first disc's cog for a bit, just until it's well clear of the second, then hit the second disc's little marked cog, and wait until it lines up behind the first one exactly, then recall your axe.
Then repeat for the one behind that, and so on. Eventually they'll all be lined up behind one another, or at least roughly so, and you can run through.
Out the other end, it's time for another puzzle, this time involving Winds of Hel. Before solving the corridor puzzle though, nab the wind from one of the spinning discs and put it in the trap just to the left, where there's already some wind next to it, to open a lock to a Legendary Chest. If you're having trouble, get the wind from the locked door and put it in the trap on the right of the corridor to get the blades spinning.
Now, the corridor. Take the winds from that locked door to the trap on the right of the corridor, and the other one to the central blade to get everything moving.
Take the wind out of the first blade when it's pulled back to the right, to allow you through.
When the top blade is moving, wait for it to go to the top position and then take the wind out of that.
Then dash through the two side-blades when they open together - if the timing's a bit tight, take the wind out of one and then put it back in when the line up timing-wise so that they open together at once.
On the far side of the chamber is another Cypher chest for Niflheim. Then hang to the open end of the room and pull at the chain to set it free.
Now, it's battle time.
The middle of the room will feature a nice spinning podium that spits fire out in a couple of directions, whilst enemies attack. In this case, they're Draugr and an Orgre.
When those enemies are done, run through the corridor to the previous chamber and deal with the same enemy-and-fire situation again, then return to the central room.
Now, rinse and repeat for the other side of the chain! This time they're vertical masher traps in the corridor.
Freeze the first one as soon as it slams down, then as soon as the second one slams down, recall your axe. That leaves the first two lined up so that, when they raise up, you can run under them both and then under the third one before the first two slam back down.
There's a coffin with some Legendary armour in the next room, then it's on to the next corridor's puzzle.
This one is more vertical mashers, only they don't raise very far. You need to throw some red crystal (there's a stump on the South side of the room) at the red sap on the floor under the first masher, then have Atreus shoot it to make the floor explode.
That lets the first one drop all the way down, and then wait for the next one to be down and you can run straight through, dropping down as you go, to the final chamber.
There's another Niflheim Cipher to grab from the chest ahead, and then you can set the second chain free - and all you have to do now is beat the two Travelers that attack you at once - easy!
It's not that easy let's be honest. Focus on the first one that attacks you - the shielded one - and most importantly remember to hit that glowing skull out of its hand when it raises it above its head to charge a huge attack.
The other handy tip to know is that the red-tinged one can be frozen with a heavy throw of your axe. And frozen enemies can be kicked off ledges, which we did to great satisfaction here.
When you've beaten them both, go back the way you came, to one last room of enemies - Hel-Reavers with shields and ranged attacks, in a room of more hectic spinning fire.
There's no easy solution here. Just keep moving, rotating with the flames to stay in the safe zones between them, and remember to use your chains rather than your axe, which'll be useless.
When they're down, go back to the starting central room and take the platform back up the way you came by using the central lever.
Now you can go flip the entire Realm Travel Room from that same spot where you tried it before, by mashing Circle as hard as you can, and there's a gold-marked spot on the left for you to climb.
Climb up the wall and pull apart the extravagant doors, and now to grab that weird object.
Collect Tyr's Mysterious Object
Run over and interact with the glowing white orb, and you'll get "some kind of travel stone"...
Mimir knows what it all means. It's time to go to the Realm Between Realms...
Next up: God of War - Between the Realms, Gauntlet of Realms


These cute Bubble Alphabet Matching Cards are a great way for kids to learn the uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet. Kids love bubbles and will enjoy using this theme when learning the letters of the alphabet.
To set up these Bubble Alphabet Matching Cards, first, print them out on white paper or cardstock.
Next, cut them into pieces.
I recommend you laminate them for durability, but this is optional.
These cards can also be used to practice spelling simple words as you can print out as many copies as you need.
Your child could also glue them onto coloured card once they have matched the uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet together.
Very cute freebie – perfect for summer learning!
Thanks for linking up to TGIF! I appreciate you stopping by to share your creativity with all of us! Hope to see you again today!

Q: Angular 2 abstract directive needs decorator I want to implement an  Angular 2 Directive hierachy.  A base, abstract class sets up handlers for mouse events and hands off processing the cursor position to a concrete derived class that does specific processing upon the model.  I have an abstract class
    export abstract class DragDirective implements AfterViewInit, OnDestroy {
        constructor(protected elementRef: ElementRef) { }
        @Input() dragTarget: Draggable;
        ngAfterViewInit() {
            // various rxjs Observables and subscription handlers for mouseevents, including ...
            ...  this.handlePoint(point);
            ...
        }
        abstract handlePoint(point: Point): void;
    }

And a concrete directive:
    @Directive({
        selector: '[drag-anywhere]'
    })
    export class DragAnywhereDirective extends DragDirective {
        handlePoint(point: Point): void {
            this.dragTarget.setPosition(point);
        }
    }

At runtime I get the error:
Can't resolve all parameters for DragAnywhereDirective: (?).
unless I also decorate the abstract class with:
    @Directive({
        selector: '[unusable-because-its-not-concrete]'
    })

Why is it necessary to decorate the abstract class?

A: You need to pass the elementRef to the constructor in your base class like so
@Directive({
   selector: '[drag-anywhere]'
})
export class DragAnywhereDirective extends DragDirective {
   constructor(protected elementRef: ElementRef) {
       super(elementRef);
   }

   handlePoint(point: any): void {
       this.dragTarget.setPosition(point);
   }
}

Via CREW: Bill Barr's Trump Hotel Holiday Party is the Least of his Conflicts
December 23, 2019 No CommentsFrank Schaeffer
By Linnaea Honl-Stuenkel
Originally published December 11, 2019
Read at citizensforethics.org
There's no question about it: even though Attorney General Barr postponed his $30,000 holiday party at President Trump's DC Hotel, any appearance of his impartiality had long since disappeared. From the beginning of his time as AG, Barr never let his job description as America's prosecutor get in the way of his preferred role as President Trump's personal protector. He inaccurately summarized the Mueller report, caved to Trump's demands for a sham investigation into the FBI, and is now reprising his role as Trump's defender as impeachment progresses. At this point, spending tens of thousands of his own money at Trump's business (for a party that has now been postponed to an undisclosed date) is another embarrassing exhibition of Barr's lack of objectivity, but certainly not the worst, or the most dangerous.
Barr's appointment in February as the nation's top lawyer was swiftly followed by the release of the Mueller Report in March, which Barr initially held back and summarized misleadingly for the public. This came as no surprise, because even before his appointment, Barr had already sent the White House legal team a 19-page memo criticizing Special Counsel Mueller's investigation and the possibility of Trump facing obstruction charges.
The three-and-a-half-page summary of the Mueller report that Barr released days before the full 448-page document became public gave President Trump and his allies the ammunition they needed to claim exoneration for the President, though that could not have been farther from the truth. Barr's summary claimed "the report identifies no actions that, in our judgment, constitute obstructive conduct," while the Mueller report laid out 200 pages of obstructive conduct and made clear that an OLC opinion prevented the prosecution of a sitting president, which factored in to the Special Counsel's decision not to make a legal conclusion regarding the conduct. Even Special Counsel Mueller wrote a letter to Barr saying that Barr's summary "did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance" of his investigation. Barr also granted the White House legal team a preview of the report, a privilege that may not have been extended to anyone else.
In April, Barr went on to launch his own investigation into the origin of the Mueller investigation despite a separate ongoing probe into the same topic. Barr picked US Attorney for the District of Connecticut John Durham to oversee the investigation, and echoed Trump's claim that the Mueller investigation started because the FBI "spied" on him. That claim has been routinely debunked, and in fact, Durham recently said that he could not back the right-wing theory. The lack of evidence did not stop Barr from doing his own digging, and he even reportedly took a taxpayer-funded trip to Italy as part of Durham's investigation. CREW is working to uncover the full cost to taxpayers of the trip.
Barr's conflicts of interest and efforts to mislead the public were egregious enough that in May, CREW called on him to recuse from any ongoing Mueller-related cases. In September, CREW called for him to recuse from the Durham investigation. He never recused from anything. In fact, on December 10, in an interview with NBC, Barr continued to promote baseless speculation that the FBI probe of the Trump campaign's connection to Russia started in "bad faith." Given his summary of the report on that investigation, his new comments are especially ironic. The comments also perpetuate damaging myths on the investigation, while ignoring the 34 indictments, seven guilty pleas and convictions of Paul Manafort and Roger Stone that stemmed from the investigation.
To add one more thing to Bill Barr's litany of conflicts, his son-in-law works in the White House counsel's office on work that, according to public reporting, "will 'intersect' with the Russia investigation."
As egregious as Barr's work to subvert the findings of the Mueller report were, his continued involvement in protecting President Trump during the House impeachment inquiry has proven to be even more troubling, given that he was implicated in Trump's call with Zelensky that launched the impeachment inquiry in the first place. On the call, Trump asked Zelensky to investigate former-Vice President Biden and a debunked conspiracy theory involving the 2016 election, and repeatedly asked him discuss the investigations with Barr. As CREW's Noah Bookbinder put it at the time, Barr's recusal should have been "a no brainer." Again, Barr never recused.
In less than a year as Attorney General, William Barr has again and again proven that he cares more about protecting the president than the rule of law. Since apparently he won't recuse, as we have said previously, Barr must resign.

Just picture perfect weather the next few days with plenty of sunshine, dry weather, low humidity and temps in the 70s and 80s. However, Friday we're expecting another round of strong to severe weather with a cold front that will be moving through the region.
A strong front moved through Sunday bringing a quick round of severe weather. After the front moved through, winds shifted out of the NW and it really dried out the atmosphere. Today was just a beautiful day with 70s, sunshine and low humidity.
The next few days will be AWESOME. Highs in the 70s and 80s, sunshine and of course, dry weather! By Thursday, the humidity starts to climb as highs reach the 80s. This sets us up for the next weather event for Friday.
We've declared Friday a First Alert Weather Day!
A cold front will slide through the region on Friday bringing with it the risk for strong to severe storms. Some storms will certainly pack a punch with heavy rain, gusty winds and of course lightning. We'll keep a close eye on it for you as we move through the week.
Tuesday: Beautiful day with temps in the 70s and sunshine. Low humidity too.
Wednesday: Staying sunny but a little warmer with highs near 80.
First Alert Friday: Watching for strong to severe storms to roll through during the afternoon. Highs in the 70s and 80.

NieR: Automata Soars Past 2 Million Mark
September 22, 2017 Darius Purse Leave a comment
Glory to Mankind- NieR: Automata has achieved a new sales milestone. Square Enix announced the game has exceeded two million copies, a figure comprised of worldwide shipments and digital sales.
NieR: Automata previous sales milestone was back in May when it reached the 1.5 million mark. Since launching in February of this year, NieR: Automata has become a big success for Platinum Games helping to turnaround the fortunes of the company. Not to mention the endless amount of cosplay it has produced for 2b.
It's good to see a game that easily could have fallen into cult status achieve something more. Besides playing the demo, I have yet to fully dive into NieR. However, there is a PS4 copy on my bookshelf waiting for me to crack it open.

As in Buddhism, the true path of yoga is liberation from the ego and from suffering. "Yoga becomes a complete spiritual path when we join the familiar postures of Hatha Yoga with the meditative practices of Raja Yoga," says Chip Hartranft, one translator of the Yoga Sutras. "Raja" means "the kingly path" and raja yoga is one of the original schools of yoga. Raja Yoga follows the Eight Limbs of yoga as described by Pantanjali in the Yoga Sutras. The major obstacle to this practice is the ego. Hatha Yoga arose from of Raja Yoga, and the asanas, or postures, are expressions of rigorous discipline as outlined in the first four limbs of Pantangali's practice philosophy.
Sutra means "thread" in Sanskrit. The sutra is the thread which strings together complex aspects of a philosophy. Pantanjali wrote the Sutras around 250 C.E. Though other yogic texts had been written before this time, most notably, the Bhagavad Gita (around 450 BCE) and the Pali Cannon (around 100-200 BCE), no text had so completely and succinctly described the goals of yoga and a prescribed series of practices to alleviate suffering and attain enlightenment.
Pantanjali begins the Yoga Sutras by defining yoga: "Yoga is to still the patterning of consciousness. Then pure awareness can abide in its very nature. Otherwise awareness takes itself to be the patterns of consciousness." (Chip Hartranft, Shambala Sun, July 2008). Our thinking tends to be the result of habitual and conditioned patterns that leave us closed rather than open to awareness. Stilling the mind creates a space in which unconditioned awareness may be revealed to us. Like the Buddhists, yogis felt that it is our conditioned patterns of belief that cause suffering in our lives.
It is through the Eight Limbs of yoga, that we have access to a quiet mind and body, open and receptive, fully alive and aware. The reader may notice that the Eight Limbs bear similarity to the Noble Eightfold Path in Buddhism. The two systems share a common history and culture and both claim that suffering is caused by attachment. Students of these systems work to free themselves from grasping for, or clinging to external attachments in order to end suffering.
The First Limb of the Eight Limbs is called the Yamas, also known as wise characteristics or restraints. These characteristics include ahisma, non-violence or non-harming; satya, right speech or truthfulness; asteya, not stealing, or appreciating without having. brahmacharya is the quality of using the senses wisely. The last of the yamas is aparigrapha, which means non-grasping, being non-covetous. When we covet, we live with the delusion that "if I had this, all would be well," without the realization that all life changes at every moment, and that our happiness comes from within, not from without.
The second of the Eight Limbs is called the Niyamas, codes or observances for living soulfully. They include shaucham, purity or cleanliness of mind, body and environment; santosha, contentment with what is; tapas, burning desire for spiritual practice; svadyaya, self- study and study of the spiritual scriptures; and, lastly, ishvara pranidhama, surrendering the fruit of one's actions unto God, or giving credit to the Divine.
The third of the Eight Limbs is asana, or posture. Pantanjali mentions asana only twice in the Sutras, and he was speaking primarily about seated meditation. The fourth limb is pranayama, the practice of conserving and moving prana, the life force, through breathing exercises. Pratyahara, the fifth limb, is withdrawal of the senses. In other words, one attends to the inner experience instead of to the outer, material world. The sixth limb, dharana, is a cultivating of focus without distraction. The seventh limb, dhyana, is a natural outcome of dharana. By learning to focus without distraction, whether in seated or moving meditation, we are more able to tap into awareness. The eighth and final limb is Samadhi. Samadhi naturally follows dhyana and dharana. As we sit or move in stillness and focus without distraction, we achieve a place of divine awareness in which union with all things is experienced.
Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras focuses on the qualities of the fluctuating mind and how we are prevented from seeing what really is unless we learn to still the mind. When we live in delusion, we suffer. Pantanjali shares techniques by which we can see reality directly, and reduce our suffering. This is not a religious text. Anyone can practice yoga, and the eight Limbs whether s/he believes in god/s or not.
