There may be as much controversy over whether a Christian should vote as over whom to vote for. All the same, the decision to vote or not vote is ultimately an issue of faith. When confronted by a choice that is not directly addressed in Scripture, Christians must ask, "What would Jesus Christ do in this situation?" We do this because, in John 13, Jesus taught His disciples an essential spiritual principle that covers the broad spectrum of righteous living: "For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you" (John 13:15).
First, though, we must realize that, from its foundation until now, the world's governments have not modeled themselves on God's governance. Dictatorship, constitutional monarchy, democracy, republicanism, socialism, communism, fascism—none is God's form of government. They are governments of the god of this world, Satan (II Corinthians 4:4). God will not alter or adjust them to conform to His will; He will totally destroy and replace them with His own divine government headed by His Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true perspective, despite most people's tendency to view politics from the standpoint of this present world.
1. What is the post-Flood origin of human government?
Comment: After the Flood, human society apart from God began when Nimrod, a grandson of Ham, organized the first secular government in the city of Babel (Genesis 10:8-10) and expanded it to Nineveh and other cities (Micah 5:5-6). He instituted a system whereby one or a few at the top profit from the labor of the majority under them. Soon there were many cities, each ruled by a self-willed king. Not content with one city, ambitious rulers, seeking greater wealth and power, armed a portion of their manpower and by aggression subjugated adjoining cities. Thus nations were born and then empires.
This grasping, enslaving principle of government, intertwined with economic manipulation, has dominated the world ever since. Whatever form human governments take, they display the same Babylonian style of rule. Governments have risen and fallen, but their basic principles have remained—competition and strife based on greed and pride (Psalm 10:2-11).
2. What is this world's system based on?
Comment: Regardless of form, human government is based on exploitation of people and resources, power, aggression, and deception. The entire system began and continues with the idea of cramming people together into cities. As a world order built on strife and competition, each of the four phases of human civilization—political, economic, religious, and social—has tried to dominate the others. In ancient Rome, politicians ruled over religion, business, and society. After AD 554, the Roman Catholic church dominated the others. In America, where self-rule is enshrined in the Constitution, big business and avaricious politicians have constantly struggled for dominance. Communism, as with all forms of socialism, induces the laboring class to support a suppressive government for the benefit of the elite.
Regardless of the particular form of administration, the civilization that now holds the entire world under its sway is the same Babylonian system initially established by Nimrod. Babylon means "confusion." Competition and strife have produced confusion throughout the world (James 3:16), but "God is not the author of confusion" (I Corinthians 14:33). Therefore, this world's system of government is not God's.
3. How should Christians view this world?
Comment: Many professing Christians view everything from the perspective of this world, blindly assuming it is God's world. They see certain forces of evil in it, which they feel they must oppose. In this vein, they see the Christian duty as working to make this a better world.
However, this concept does not square with Scripture. The Bible speaks of Christ "deliver[ing] us from this present evil age" (Galatians 1:4). Human society is not of God's making, but Satan's, as are its systems of government, basic philosophies, and business and religious practices. All nations are deceived, swayed, manipulated by the Devil (Revelation 12:9; 20:2-3). In other words, our civilization is Satan's handiwork, not God's.
God's Word tells us to flee from the midst of Babylonian society (Isaiah 52:11; II Corinthians 6:17; Revelation 18:4). Speaking to the Jews, Jesus says, "You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world" (John 8:23). Later, when questioned by Pilate about His Kingdom, "Jesus answered, 'My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here'" (John 18:36). Although Jesus lived in this world, He clearly saw Himself as a "citizen" of God's heavenly Kingdom. The same holds true of those who follow Him (Philippians 3:20).
Next time we will see more about Christ's perspective on the world's politics.

I include quotes from the summary in italics in cases where the title alone doesn't reveal what the story is about. My own thoughts appear without italics if I have any.
Hints of a volcanically active exomoon
A rocky extrasolar moon (exomoon) with bubbling lava may orbit a planet 550 light-years away from us. This is suggested by an international team of researchers led by the University of Bern on the basis of theoretical predictions matching observations. The 'exo-Io' would appear to be an extreme version of Jupiter's moon Io.
Might just be bubbling imagination, but then again, it might be true.
Artist's composition of a volcanic exo-Io undergoing extreme mass loss. The hidden exomoon is enshrouded in an irradiated gas cloud shining in bright orange-yellow, as would be seen with a sodium filter. Patches of sodium clouds are seen to trail the lunar orbit, possibly driven by the gas giant's magnetosphere.

Deep-sea sediments reveal solar system chaos: An advance in dating geologic archives
In a study published in the journal Science, Richard Zeebe from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa and Lucas Lourens from Utrecht University used geologic records from deep-sea drill cores to extend the astronomical time scale beyond 50 million years, by about 8 million years. Using their new chronology, they provide a new age for the Paleocene-Eocene boundary (56.01 Ma) with a small margin of error (0.1%).

New threat from ocean acidification emerges in the Southern Ocean
"Scientists investigating the effect of ocean acidification on diatoms, a key group of microscopic marine organisms, phytoplankton, say they have identified a new threat from climate change -- ocean acidification is negatively impacting the extent to which diatoms in Southern Ocean waters incorporate silica into their cell walls. The findings are important in the context of global climate change because of the implications for global carbon and silicon cycles and ultimately ocean productivity."

soundscape ecology
Open Archive Day
Animals not only make various noises, many of them also rely on the soundscape of their environment for crucial information. It therefore makes a lot of sense to tune into the sounds of nature and use that to study the interactions between species, aka ecology.
My debut feature on soundscape ecology came out a year ago and is now in the open archives:
Listening to the sounds of the biosphere
The presence of species like song birds, crickets or frogs can be detected in ambient sound recordings with the help of artificial intelligence.

no pain all glory
Almodovar's Pain and glory (Dolor y gloria) is released in the UK today, and I went into the first showing in Oxford, at lunchtime today. (A grand total of 4 other people showed up too.) He's now the only Spanish director whose films reliably get released in UK cinemas (in contrast to these films that don't get shown here), so it's also a case of use it or lose it.
If I've got all my numbers crunched the right way, this is his 21st feature length film as a writer-director, and it's the 18th I've seen (I still need to catch up with some of the wilder ones from before 1988). So a few words are in order (also, this blog has an almodovar tag that needs feeding).
As the media (even in the UK) have widely reported, this one has Antonio Banderas playing a thinly disguised, ageing and ailing version of San Pedro himself, which is of course hilarious for those of us who still remember a barely adult Banderas in the very early Almodovar movies. We're anchored in a very up-to date present (watch out for graffiti representing the #metoo type slogan "hermana yo si te creo" which dates from 2018), looking back at the director's distant past, from his childhood to the early movies. Various clever tricks help to bring back the ghosts from the past, and it's all very warm-hearted, life-affirming and all that. As always, it doesn't harm to have Penelope Cruz on board, ironically playing San Pedro's mother.
All my favourite Almodovar films have female protagonists (Volver, La flor de mi secreto, Todo sobre mi madre, etc. ), but given that this one was about himself, he didn't really have that choice, and right now, just hours after seeing it for the first time, I think I like it almost as much as some of the great female-led ones. Having said that, I will go back and watch Volver for the 3rd time (at least - can't believe I've only seen it twice, must be a bug in the bookkeeping), and Julieta, also for the third time.
Anyhow. Enough of me rambling. Here's a proper review from Peter Bradshaw, who saw it at Cannes.

the science of sleep
Why do we have to sleep? Well, ok, for humans it is easy to come up with a whole range of reasons why we need a certain budget of sleep - our lives are tiring, our complex brains need rebooting once a day, and sleep does all sorts of good things for us.
However, as research keeps discovering sleep behaviour in more and more primitive animals, including invertebrates that don't even have a brain, the phenomenon is getting harder to explain. If they want a bit of a rest at night, that could be easily regulated in a circadian cycle which most multicellular organisms have anyway. But why did our common animal ancestors, more than half a billion years ago, go to the trouble of evolving a budgeting mechanism of the kind that troubles us when we missed out on sleep and have to catch up?
The short answer is, we don't really know - but the quest to understand this does yield some very interesting insights into the hidden lives of all sorts of animals. My feature on this issue is out now:
The reasons of sleep
Current Biology Volume 29, issue 15, pages R775-R777, August 19, 2019
Oh, and if I got my maths right, this is the 200th feature in this series - since I took on the challenge to write a feature for every issue, back in February 2011. Since the first one, there have only been three or four issues without one, for one reason or another.
Most mammals are very much like humans in their sleep behaviour. Attempts to explain the evolution of sleep with the mental benefits it has for humans and other mammals are undermined, however, by the findings that some of its features are shared across the animal kingdom. (Photo: RoyBuri/Pixabay.)

the lost world of tumblr
Eight months after the Great Tumblr Purge, the site appears to be going the way of MySpace now. Press reports of its sale to the owners of WordPress this week suggested the price tag was just $3 million, down by a factor of 300 on what Verizon paid for it just two years ago. Which reminds us, again, of MySpace in the doomed tenure of Murdoch's empire.
Here is a very detailed article in El Mundo which cites the $3 million price as a fact, while the Guardian calls it unconfirmed.
(UPDATE 21.8. I like this analysis asking: Could WordPress + Tumblr create an alternative to Facebook? which would be good but I'm not terribly optimistic.)
Since the purge, I have made it a habit to log into tumblr just once a week to inspect the damage. The situation is very much as it was in January - the art has gone, much of the porn is still there. Clearly censorship has done a brilliant job at blowing this up.
Screenshot of my tumblr archive when I still had one (mid Dec 2018). At that time, I shared a bit more NSFW content than usual in protest against the censorship, upon which I was sent to the naughty corner - no archive, no profile pic, posts can only be accessed by scrolling in a sidebar, so older posts are basically unretrievable (they don't show up in searches either).
One of the effects of the purge is that some NSFW artsy things that would have been all the rage on tumblr are now a bit harder to find. Following my December listing of free the nipple things, here are a few more things that should be on tumblr but don't have a home there any more.
La perla expuesta (a Spencer Tunick style art project connecting public spaces with human forms, which happened in Guadalajara, Mexico, last year apparently).
Performance Leonardo Otero (this is the title of the youtube video, don't know anything else about it, but it also seems to be set in Mexico).
Tove Lo live - a compilation of revealing moments ...
... and speaking of LGBTQ-related synth pop, here's t.A.T.u. in a Sept. 2013 reunion concert which I only just discovered. The notorious stage kisses have given way to hugs, and there are dancers with hilarious costumes and inflatable props, so what's not to like? This has given me some serious noughties nostalgia now. And made me realise that I need to work on reviving my Russian.
Reminiscing of the lost world of tumblr also reminded me of Clayton Cubitt's iconic series of videos Hysterical Literature, which has since then been transferred into many other languages including:
Spanish (?),
Catalan,
Portuguese,
Russian,
Chinese (?) ...
and here's author Candice Dawn using the format to promote her book Reclaiming Eros
and here is one of the original videos with the artist's explanations of his thinking.
PS sadly the alternative site 2mblr which I mentioned in previous posts never became fully functional - last time I checked it still worked as an uncensored archive but not as a live site where you can blog and reblog things. And the last time they copied content across from tumblr appears to have been in early May, so maybe they have given up entirely now?

"New research led by Oxford University and Queen Mary University of London has resolved a pig paradox.

Scent brings all the songbirds to the yard
"Lehigh University scientists found that not only can chickadees smell, but the males and females prefer the smell of their own species over the smell of the opposite species. These preferences could be impacting hybridization. Their results have been published in an article entitled: 'Conspecific olfactory preferences and interspecific divergence in odor cues in a chickadee hybrid zone' in Ecology and Evolution."
"The sense of smell has been very understudied in birds, particularly songbirds, because they frequently have such impressive plumage and song variation," says Amber Rice, an evolutionary biologist at Lehigh University. "Some other recent work has documented that species of songbird can smell and prefer their species' odors, but this is the first example in currently hybridizing species that we know of."

alaska without the sea ice
Sea ice in the Arctic continues to decline. Right now, the shores of Alaska are reported to be free of ice, with the nearest ice shelf 240 km away. Lots of people aren't hesitating to exploit these new economic opportunities with activities that inflict further damage on the environment.
It still drives me mad when I see ads for Arctic cruises (eg through the North West Passage, where the Franklin expedition perished in 1845-47), but a year ago I channelled that rage into a feature about the damage done by ships in places that should really be covered by ice.
My feature is now in the open archives:

plant a billion trees
As the world is slowly waking up to the fact that the climate crisis is real, a popular response is to plant some trees - after all they do CO2 removal for a living. Recent research has looked into the scale of reforestation physically possible and its impact on the climate. The good news is that it can have a significant effect - but not if people plant monocultures of unsuitable trees for commercial purposes.

All our instruments series, episode 16
Approaching the millennium, we're now firmly in the realm of instruments bought for the children with various flimsy excuses. This one was a present for the young flautist in the family, but never found much use. Trying to record a half-decent video with it, I realised why - it isn't all that easy to get a proper sound out of it. Even though I spend a fair amount of time each day producing sounds by blowing across a similar-sized hole on a flute, this set of panpipes seems to want a different kind of embouchure or angle or I don't know what. I'm only playing the bottom row anyway, as the access to the top row seems to be limited by my chin colliding with the pipes of the bottom row. So this instrument seems to be trouble all round, but it is very decorative dangling from the shelves.
(The background texture in this photo is another instrument to be discussed later in the series ... )
It doesn't have any marks re origin or maker, and I can't remember where I bought it. May have been from Tumi, who had a lovely Latin American / Fairtrade shop in Little Clarendon Street in the 90s. Nowadays I believe the company still exists but only trades online. Oooh, good guess, here are the pipes, still: Zampona 11/12, although sadly sold out at the moment.
So, anyhow, here's my rather embarrassing series of attempts to play some notes on it:
I do like the sound though, on the rare occasions when I manage to produce it.

Race, Class and Power
Over four decades ago, radical scholars began to suggest a new way of looking at South African society, one that blamed the economic power of those who owned property for the racial bondage of the black majority. Their work, and the debates it triggered, are mostly forgotten: but they and their critics have much to say that sheds lights on today's South African realities.
Harold Wolpe was arguably the most influential theorist of this generation. His writing played a major role in a revolution in thought and his celebrated escape from prison in the 1960s made him a symbol of alternative action.
'Race, Class and Power: Harold Wolpe and the Radical Critique of Apartheid' clearly and insightfully examines Wolpe's work in the political, intellectual and social contexts in which it was developed and to which it gave form. Drawing on interviews with those he worked with, disagreed with and inspired, the book also maps his influence on ideas and the culture that emerged in anti-apartheid circles in the 1970s. Wolpe's writing is a prism through which South African society can be viewed; this book is an intellectual biography both of Wolpe and of South Africa's left.
The book also assesses and engages with the ongoing impact of Wolpe's ideas into the post-apartheid present. Moreover, it suggests how Wolpe's work can move us towards a way of thinking about and acting upon South Africa's realities differently.

I started Narcissu at around 9PM knowing nothing of the story other than the Steam description.
It's now 1:30 am and after numerous breaks to collect myself, I am finished.
Surrounding me are spent tissues and a plastic bag, my face is red and my eyes sting.
I've cried 6 times between the start and finish of this visual novel, and honestly, I couldn't be happier.
Narcissu really spoke to me on numerous levels, as someone who's lost ones they love, and as someone who is a former catholic. (Note: The religious themes in this game are not heavy handed, but actually enhance the story.) I would recommend this title to anyone, especially people who've lost loved ones and have ever felt the hopelessness involved.
Truly a beautiful heart wrenching story.

The reason this Anthology is cheap is because it's already available as free games on this Steam. If you don't feel like paying a few dollars (this is on Humble Bundle as well at the moment), then you can play the free version here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/264380/Narcissu_1st__2nd/
My old review which is still relevant is here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/zeroxxx/recommended/264380
And yes this version's still recommended. By purchasing this will allow you to purchase the season pass. Never purchase the DLC separately - it makes things more expensive - buy Season Pass on sale if you are frugal.

Guys, if you're not sure about buying this one, consider playing/reading/watching/listening it for free:
I love this VN, bought it with Season Pass and now I hope to see Narcissu's sidestories on Steam.
Thank you, Sekai Project, thank you, stage-nana.

So far, I have only played through the First Visual Novel, and I will update this as needed
It has no replayability, no choices, and no nudity.
In fact, you rarely see the characters at all, and only once in full view.
But damn, this is art. The storyline is slow-paced, dramatic, and most importantly, emotional. It is a two-character play which tore my heart out and replaced it with a sullen husk of what it once was. I love this, and I feel that it is a masterpiece that is worth every penny.
Such a beautiful, deep and heart wretching set of stories. Watch for onion cutting ninjas while playing this game.
As a side note, I actually played the original versions a while back and getting them all as a set on Steam was a real treat.
I really recommend this to everyone!

Many years have passed since the first games of the renowned Narcissu series first became known among the fans of the visual novel, and within there the kinetic game genre, quickly establishing itself as one of the better known and well received doujin releases in Western communities. Shortly thereafter, the second one came out which was also freely available to those who were so inclined and wanted to read it, leaving many a fan waiting with bated breath if others will also be offered later on, as were its predecessors. As it turned out it wasn't the last, but sadly it came at a great price.
The first sign stems from the simple yet powerful fact that despite the title which is at least in name supposed to be the anthology of all Narcissu releases, its producer only included the already free first two games in its core edition, and a never before heard extra chapter. This is because unlike with a real collection of stories, the chapters are split up instead this time on the pretext that people interested in them can choose only which they want to read and pay for only that. It's a little difficult to accept however as it's little more than a thinly disguised attempt at milking a fairly famous game for all it's worth, asking significantly more money for the entire set than actually great visual novels like eden* or planetarian are being sold for. Which gets even more pronounced on the Kickstarter page where the publishers set tiers for those investing in their funding project, requesting insane amounts of money for anything more than a digital copy, which is like a store offering the covers of a book at a modest price then charging ten times more for the pages themselves. In that regard, its publisher is nothing like a proper company which handles visual novels, especially considering the fact that they mostly release already existing ones when they can like they did with Grisaia, and all the other games they have are abysmally low in quality, especially the Sakura series. This alone should be enough of a reason to steer clear of the game presented here.
Even if it wasn't though, there are still plenty not to support a nonexistant anthology, one of the biggest being that the third entry of the series, Die Dritte Welt is not mentioned anywhere on the store page and is only said to being translated. That leaves the direct sequel to the first games out, replacing it with completely unrelated chapters that try to extend the series in the wrong direction, but contrary to what was expected only destroy what made it so unusual at first by doing so. Not completely unlike how EA killed Westwood and with it ruined the Command and Conquer universe, and arguing that the new content isn't bad in itself unfortunately doesn't counterweigh the damage done to the original games. A shame since if it wasn't for present edition being a collection, there would be much less flaws to find.
Sekai Project also flagged this review for no reason but it being critical of the product they made, while I received several verbally abusing comments from Kickstarter supporters that could get one permabanned due to how disgusting they were. I care not for mindless fanboys however as I will ignore all downvotes from them if they can't even try or just don't want to make decent arguments about why there's a disagreement.
Therefore, if you truly appreciate visual novels, then look for quality games from good publishers while read the combined game of Narcissu 1 and 2 if you are still interested in reading them since it's free and has the soundtrack in store if you want to buy it. Avoid this release. Don't buy.
Review in one sentence : Himeko's Epilogue is recommended for fans of Narcissu 1 and 2, and non-fans may feel unsatisfied with the content they get (about 1 hour of reading) for the price they pay.
As the title says, this is an epilogue for Himeko, who is a main character in Narcissu 2. As such, it is strongly recommended that you finish Narcissu 2 before starting Himeko's Epilogue. The epilogue is short as you may expect, with about 1 hour of reading, and it takes Himeko's story from Narcissu 2 to the very end. That's not to say that the ending in Narcissu 2 is unfinished. The ending of Narcissu 2 satisfactorily closes the story of Himeko and Setsumi, so reading Himeko's Epilogue is not strictly necessary to understanding the story.
Himeko's Epilogue focuses on the friendship between Himeko and Yuka. Without spoiling any events, you could say that Himeko's Epilogue is a story about two friends supporting each other to get through the difficulties they are facing. Yuka is a minor character in Narcissu 2, and her character develops a little in the short amount of time covered in Himeko's Epilogue.
There are two options for going through Himeko's Epilogue – Normal and Classic Mode. The only difference between the two modes is the artwork used for the background. The artwork in Normal will show character's faces, whereas Classic will not, and the artwork in Normal is larger.
A note on play order for people who have not read Narcissu 1 and 2
The chronological order of the stories is: Narcissu 2 -> Himeko's Epilogue -> Narcissu 1
Setsumi is a main character in Narcissu 2, and Narcissu 2 is a prequel to her story in Narcissu 1. Narcissu 2 explains some of the actions that Setsumi takes in Narcissu 1, so if you can't stand seeing characters doing things for seemingly unexplainable reasons then you may like to read Narcissu 1 last. Otherwise, you can read Narcissu 2 after Narcissu 1 and have several moments of "Ah, so that's why!"

I'm not sure how many times I cried. A fantastic game with so much emotional impact. It's easily one of the most impactful games I have ever played. Even for as sad as the stories make me, I always walk away feeling better in a hard to describe way. Every story included with the season pass is amazing. And the soundtrack will linger with you, beautiful compositions with flawless use within the visual novel.
My favorite story was either Narcissu 2 or Sumire. They both hit me even harder than the others. Himeko's Epilouge is also beautiful, like a last flurish to give the story just that much more depth. A Little Iris was my least favorite, but likely because it feels less personal, and less relatable than the other stories. It's set in Medieval Europe and takes a very diffrent tone than the other stories. Even if it was my least favorite, I still completely enjoyed it.
This game is absolutely worth the asking price. Season Pass included.
Although I think it's going to be a while until I can bring myself to replay them. I'll update an addendum to this review whenever I do.

Last Summer I had the great pleasure of attending the Door County Plein Air Fest. Looking back on the Summer there was so much I learned. Watching the professional painters, over their shoulders in all types of conditions, in the beauty of Door County, was so motivational to me!
The weekend before the fest, I participated in a wonderful vintage show in Baileys Harbor and it was my maiden voyage with my little camper, Miss Mabel, SOLO. Hooking her up, unhooking and setting up camp... all by my self! I did it!
In the first part of the week, I hit the road to find the professionals out on the town painting. I found a friend in Laurel Daniel, she was such a delight. I first met her, looking over her shoulder in Egg Harbor. She was painting a little shop called Papel. A cute little building just across from the Market in Egg Harbor. I loved watching her mix colors and create her beautiful painting.
Later that day, I went to Woodwalk Gallery. What a beautiful setting that is. I loved seeing the colors and paints that were being used.
Thursday I headed out to the Causeway on kangaroo lake to do a little practicing and color mixing. The evening was lovely and the light on the lake, unforgettable.
Saturday morning I woke up at 7 am to be ready at the quick paint by 8:00 am to stake out my spot. In years past, I painted "Malibu Moos" in Fish Creek. This year I thought I would mix it up a bit and paint The Summertime restaurant, a beautiful little indoor and outdoor bistro. The gardens were breathtaking as always, in the Door. We had a great time finding our spot for the Quick Paint, amongst professionals and non professionals alike.
At 9:00 am the horn sounded and we had 2 hours to complete our painting. You may not draw or paint on your canvas prior to the horn. Working at a steady pace, until someone yelled "we've got 30 minutes left" and it is time to wrap up our paintings... to pull them all together so that they will be ready for sale that evening at the Peninsula School of Art in Fish Creek.
In the past years I have painted Malibu Moos and have sold it every time, but this year I wanted to mix it up.
Later Saturday morning my eldest daughter Aubrey, Sister Leslie, Brother-in-law Ken and "Sister" Jinny arrived after traveling from the Chicagoland area that morning. What a surprise to see them!
We spent the day wondering around the county, then that evening we attended the reception for the painters at the School. I got in line to see the work of the non professionals that was set up under a large white tent on the grounds and as soon as I arrived at my painting, I found a S O L D sign on it!
Every year I have attended, and painted, I have had the good fortune of selling my painting. It is just so much fun. I can't wait to participate in 2014!
And, all by yourself. I am so impressed.
Oh Muriel! Thank you for stopping by! You know the beauty of a northern lake... with the last beams of sun glinting off of it as the evening clouds begin to roll in. Truth be told, as soon as I arrived home, I joined the " Sisters on the fly" ... now I am a Sister... who can trailer her little travel trailer on her own! :) sister # 3968 !
