WhatsApp, Used by 100 Million Brazilians, Was Shut Down Nationwide by a Single Judge
It is stunning to watch a single judge instantly shut down a key means of online communication for the world's fifth-largest country. But similar battles are inevitable.

(update below)
A BRAZILIAN STATE JUDGE ordered mobile phone operators to block nationwide the extremely popular WhatsApp chat service for 72 hours, a move that will have widespread international reverberations for the increasingly contentious debate over encryption and online privacy. The ruling, issued on April 26, became public on Monday when it was served on mobile service providers. It took effect the same day at 2 p.m. local time (1 p.m. ET); as of that time, people in Brazil who tried to use the service could not connect, nor could they send or receive any messages. Failure to comply will subject the service providers to a fine of 500,000 reals per day ($142,000 per day).
WhatsApp is the most-used app in Brazil, a country of 200 million people (it is now owned by Facebook, the country's second-most used app). An estimated 91 percent of Brazilian mobile users nationwide — more than 100 million individuals — use WhatsApp to communicate with one another for free (it has 900 million active daily users around the world). Brazilians spent this morning, in the hours before the block took effect, frantically sending each other messages on WhatsApp warning that the service was going down for three days.
This ruling comes from the same judge, Marcel Maia Montalvão, of a small town in Sergipe state, who two months ago ordered Facebook's vice president for Latin America, Diego Dzodan, to be detained over WhatsApp's failure to cooperate with a subpoena issued as part of a criminal investigation. The judge said the arrest was justified by Facebook's "repeatedly failing to comply with judicial orders" in a drug-trafficking case. Pursuant to that order, Dzodan was arrested by federal police and held in custody for a full day, until an appellate court overturned the order.
Afterward, the Facebook executive insisted that "the way that information is encrypted from one cellphone to another, there is no information stored that could be handed over to authorities." WhatsApp similarly said: "WhatsApp cannot provide information we do not have." According to Folha de São Paulo, Brazil's largest newspaper, Monday's ruling ordering the shutdown of WhatsApp stems from the same case.
The extraordinary orders reflect what is becoming a global controversy over the fight of technology companies to offer their users "end-to-end" encryption. That service, which has become quite in demand in the wake of reporting from the archive provided by Edward Snowden, ensures that only the users — but not the company itself — can access the content they are sharing. The post-Snowden fixation of tech companies to demonstrate a genuine commitment to protect the privacy of their users (motivated by business self-interest) has driven a wedge between the once-fully collaborative Silicon Valley and U.S. government surveillance state partners, creating a protracted and bitter public PR war that culminated last month in the Apple/FBI fight over access to iPhones.
As a result of its encryption protections, the position of WhatsApp in response to subpoenas has been that it is incapable of turning over users' communications because the encryption not only keeps governments and non-state actors out but also the company itself. Over the past several years, numerous countries have begun enacting laws to bar companies from using any encryption that they cannot circumvent, and the Obama administration has been debating whether to support legislation that would allow only the use of encryption to which government agencies have backdoor access (in the 1990s, the Clinton administration used the Oklahoma City bombing to argue for a similar law, but it was blocked by a coalition of privacy advocates from both parties in Congress).
THIS IS NOT the first time WhatsApp service has been interrupted in Brazil. Last December, in a separate case, a lower court judge in São Paulo state ordered service providers to block the app for 48 hours as retribution for its failure to cooperate in a criminal investigation. An appeals court overturned the ruling but only after hours of service outage, invoking "constitutional principles" to say that "it does not seem reasonable that millions of users are affected because of the inertia of a company."
In many ways, Brazil — with huge numbers of internet users and a growing online population of young people — is a key battleground for the global struggle for internet freedom. The Wall Street Journal called Brazil "the social media capital of the universe." In January, after the last WhatsApp shutdown, two analysts from the Brazil-based Igarapé Institute, Robert Muggah and Nathan Thompson, wrote in the New York Times, "The country has one of the fastest growing populations of internet users in the world. Online tools like Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp are used not only to express opinions; they are an affordable alternative to exorbitantly priced Brazilian telecom providers."
In a country with turbulent political conflicts and a highly engaged online population, the debate over internet freedom has become very prominent. Along with Germany, the Brazilian government, in the wake of the Snowden revelations, was the most vocal in denouncing the U.S. for excessive NSA surveillance (Brazil was a key target for such spying). In 2014, the government enacted what it claimed was a law to protect internet freedom, "Marco Civil da Internet," that did provide some privacy protections but also granted new surveillance powers to the government. Just last month, the government demanded, and received, a new draconian anti-terrorism law that provided it with extreme new law enforcement powers (causing ex-President Lula da Silva to break with his party, which controls the government, by telling The Intercept in an interview that he opposes the new law).
And now, as The Intercept reported last week, a new cybercrime bill on the verge of being enacted could codify internet-shutdown powers of the type the state judge imposed on Monday. In a Facebook post, Ronaldo Lemos, founding director of the Institute of Technology and Society of Rio de Janeiro and an architect of Brazil's landmark 2014 Marco Civil internet legislation, wrote: "Tomorrow, the Cybercrime CPI will vote on a proposal to make this type of block lawful. If the CPI proposal goes forward, this will be the new normal in the country. Every week we would have news of sites and services that are blocked, as it is in Saudi Arabia and North Korea."
It is stunning to watch a single judge instantly shut down a primary means of online communication for the world's fifth-largest country. The two security experts in the NYT wrote of the first WhatsApp shutdown: "The judge's action was reckless and represents a potentially longer-term threat to the freedoms of Brazilians." But there is no question that is just a sign of what is to come for countries far from Brazil: There will undoubtedly be similar battles in numerous countries around the world over what rights companies have to offer privacy protections to their users.
UPDATE: WhatsApp is functioning again in Brazil. Hours after an emergency appeal was rejected early Tuesday morning, an appellate court upheld WhatsApp's appeal and overturned the original order at around 2:15 p.m. local time (1:15 p.m. ET).

Electric Vehicles in the South: What's on the Horizon?
Peter O'Connor, Kendall Science Fellow | December 6, 2016, 11:52 am EDT
In coordination with the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE) and Commissioner Tim Echols of the Georgia Public Service Commission (GA PSC), UCS convened an electric vehicle (EV) conference on November 9th to the 11th at Château Élan in Braselton, GA.
The agenda was developed in close coordination with these partners and with Southern Company. Key topics included investments in public charging infrastructure, the advancing capabilities of electric buses, and the issues to be considered in workplace charging. Participants discussed innovative technological solutions, policy suggestions, and strategies for communicating with potential EV buyers.
You can view all of the presentations here; my main takeaways are below.
The benefits of electric vehicles
A major benefit of electric vehicles is their reduced contribution to global climate change compared with internal-combustion vehicles (see UCS research on this topic). Dr. Marshall Shepherd of the University of Georgia provided an overview of climate science.
When charged with clean power, EVs can offer even greater benefits. Jeff Pratt of Oglethorpe Power discussed efforts underway in Georgia's electric membership cooperatives (EMCs) to harness clean power for EVs, such as a system with photovoltaics, stationary storage, and EV charging.
Dr. Marilyn Brown of Georgia Tech, in her keynote address, touched on the intersection of these clean technologies. The Smart Grid Consumer Collaborative noted that, at the consumer level, there is a high degree of co-adoption of electric vehicles and solar power systems.
Electric vehicles can also significantly reduce emissions of other harmful pollutants that contribute to local air pollution and health problems. Reducing these pollutants is a major driver behind the adoption of electric buses. Proterra, BYD, and New Flyer discussed the advances in their technology and some of the applications.
Electric transit buses avoid diesel emissions in densely populated areas, and achieve even better efficiency gains over their petroleum counterparts than light-duty electric vehicles do, due to the stop-and-go nature of transit routes. Jason Hanlin of the Center for Transportation and the Environment discussed "smart deployments," illustrating the factors that should inform selection of a vehicle and charging strategy for any given route. Don Walter of the University of Georgia spoke about that school's procurement of an electric bus fleet. From a fleet operator's point of view, the operations and maintenance savings of an electric bus are extremely valuable, as are the fuel savings. These can provide enough savings to warrant the higher capital cost.
Economic benefits of EVs, highlighted by Commissioner Tim Echols, include the fact that expenditures on electricity largely remain local and stimulate regional economic activity, while expenditures on gasoline do not have this effect.
Finally, electric vehicles may have operational benefits for the electricity grid. By providing a flexible load, they can enable more optimal use of assets by the utility, creating a smoother load profile. Influencing charging patterns in this way will require some sort of incentive or rate design, but there are numerous examples to look to.
Regional projects and initiatives
The South is home to a number of exciting research, development, and deployment projects. One such project that drew considerable attention from participants is The Ray, an initiative aimed at improving the sustainability of the transportation system.

In facilities along I-85, The Ray is demonstrating not only EV charging and photovoltaic power systems, but other cutting-edge technologies. These include wireless EV charging (also discussed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists) and solar road tiles powering an intelligent tire safety check system.
The Tennessee Valley Authority is exploring a number of interesting ideas, such as solar-assisted EV charging stations and an EV car-sharing program in Chattanooga. Chattanooga has had a fleet of electric shuttle buses running a downtown route since 1992.
Duke Energy, with operations in several states in the region, conducts extensive research on emerging energy topics including solar power and storage. Stationary energy storage integrated with EV chargers may be able to provide multiple value streams, including reducing the infrastructure needs for supporting high-powered chargers.
Other promising local developments included Atlanta's many efforts, such as installation of EV chargers at the airport (accelerated by the engagement of Mayor Kasim Reed and Commissioner Echols), and Jacksonville's recent strides into EV leadership.
These innovative projects often bring together solar, storage, and other "distributed energy resources" (DERs). General Electric provided an overview of how these technologies can work together.
Charging infrastructure
The conference featured several panels on electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Experts considered questions such as the number, type, and location of public chargers, the role of utility investment, and the potential of workplace charging. John Halliwell of EPRI provided an overview of the current state of charging technology.
This "charging pyramid" suggests relative numbers of the various types of charging stations. Source: Argonne National Laboratory.
While certain stations may be used often enough to recoup their cost from the sale of power, many others do not have such high utilization. These still serve a vital purpose by creating range confidence, assuring EV owners that they can charge at these stations if needed.
Public charging stations can also raise awareness among non-EV owners. Although an EV owner may have an app such as PlugShare showing just how widely available charging stations are, few non-EV owners are aware of this fact. The Federal Highway Administration's new designation of "signage-ready" alternative fuel corridors promises to help alleviate this issue, broadening awareness of the existing EV charging network.
Utilities have a role to play in EV infrastructure. The specific role is a topic of considerable discussion around the country, especially in California. Independent charging providers and ratepayer advocates have concerns about utilities installing charging systems and recouping the costs through billing all customers, including those who do not own EVs. However, some locations are not currently economical for a third party to serve, such as many low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. Utility investment might then serve a valid purpose.
Other solutions exist; for example, JEA has installed EV chargers with other sources of revenue (such as air quality funds), not billing its customers for these costs, and they work in cooperation with third-party charging providers. Greenlots, ChargePoint, and EVgo all talked about the opportunities they saw to work with utilities as partners. The utility's knowledge of the distribution system is essential when siting new chargers, in order to avoid excessive costs of system upgrades. And, if there is value in providing grid services (such as demand response or frequency regulation, as several speakers discussed), these services would be sold to the utility in most of the South.
The "duck curve" caused by an abundance of solar power on the grid. Source: CAISO.
Workplace charging is an excellent option that can provide many benefits. It can raise awareness of EVs, establish range confidence, and mitigate "duck curve" situations with abundant solar power on the grid. This duck curve is not yet significant in the South, but given the cost reductions in solar power it may be wise to anticipate it. KC Boyce provided statistics on workplace charging showing which types of firms were most interested in offering it.
A major issue with workplace charging is managing the vehicles in a condition of saturated charger capacity; ChargePoint noted that its workplace chargers are very busy. A positive aspect of workplace charging is that it often leads to remarkable increases in EV ownership in a fairly short period, as shown by FPL. However, this means that the number of vehicles may soon exceed the number of chargers. The chargers may remain occupied for the entire day, even though the vehicle may be charged after only an hour or two. Consequently, many workplaces have developed customs or strategies for EV owners rotating their vehicles. Another idea suggested is the multiplexed charger, a single charger with four cords that rotates the charge without requiring physical movement of the vehicles or even any unplugging. One barrier to EV owners cooperating (such as by unplugging one vehicle when it is done to plug in another) is the lack of a common "full charge" indicator among the different models.
Electric trucks in the UPS delivery fleet. Source: UPS.
Commercial facilities may have EV charging not just for employees, but for their fleet vehicles. Mike Britt of UPS discussed how his company is using EVs around the world. As other presenters noted, fleets appear to be well suited to providing grid services.
Southern Company was interested in the speed with which higher-powered fast charging would become the standard. With batteries of 60 kilowatt-hours (kWh) or more becoming widespread in the Chevy Bolt and the Tesla Model 3, the typical 50 kW DC fast charger would not be seen as "fast," taking over an hour to fully charge a battery. There is discussion about 150 kW being the new standard, but EVs with smaller batteries would not be able to handle that sort of power input. It was seen as more likely that some 150 kW DC fast chargers might play a role in intercity travel (like the 120-135 kW Superchargers), but the 50 kW stations will continue to exist.
An important issue to resolve is providing "home" charging for residents of multi-unit dwellings. Where such facilities have parking lots or garages, it is much more cost-effective to lay the infrastructure for EV charging when constructing or renovating those structures, rather than trenching into concrete for the sole purpose of laying conduit.
EV chargers are an emerging technology; work in recent years has rapidly reduced costs. Improving reliability is important; in this area, networked chargers have higher capital cost, but allow better monitoring of charger status.
Charging standards and protocols are continuing to develop, especially for "smart charging," higher-powered DC charging, and induction (wireless) charging. This work often involves industry-wide collaboration.
Demand charges, where a facility pays part of its power bill based on its highest peak usage, are one way of designing rates to reflect the strain placed on the grid by electricity consumption. This method does raise the costs of operating high-powered DC fast chargers, so some alternatives were suggested. Building a stationary battery into the charger is a technical solution that lowers demand charges; this has been done by Tesla, Greenlots, ChargePoint, and others. Redesigning rates to account for the timing of the peak use is a regulatory approach that might also be effective.
There was considerable discussion about how consumers would prefer to charge. Is the right model that of the gas station, where an EV owner charges once a week or so for their total range? Or is it closer to the smartphone model, where the owner (well, at least this smartphone owner) plugs it in every night and takes other opportunities to top off as available? These two models were described as "gorging vs grazing." Wireless charging has certain advantages but is a "grazing" solution only.
As noted by Advanced Energy, consumers view utilities as a trusted provider of information on EVs, and so that is a key role for power companies. Conversely, the utilities would also like information from EV owners. While the current chargers are not an overwhelming load on the grid, they can cause local grid impacts. Utilities would like to know when and where EV chargers are installed; there was interest in the example of the Salt River Project (in Arizona), which gave EV owners a $50 Amazon gift card for notifying the utility of this information.
A brochure from the utility might get a consumer thinking about EVs, but some other channels can help seal the deal. Workplace charging greatly increases EV adoption, not only because the prospective buyer now knows they can charge at work, but because they can discuss the technology with colleagues who already have EVs. Ride and drive events let people experience the performance and comfort for themselves. And, car-sharing programs such as in Chattanooga should increase familiarity with the vehicles even more—we look forward to seeing the effects of this program on the local EV market.
Automaker dealerships can be a source of information. Dealerships are not always knowledgeable about EVs, especially if there is only one model that does not have high volume sales; there is limited incentive for the retailer to become an expert on EVs in that case (although exceptional "EV champion" dealerships exist). Having more models of EVs tends to improve dealership familiarity and perceived legitimacy of the technology by consumers. The lower maintenance requirements of an EV do mean that a traditional service of dealerships is less valuable. Some efforts to increase EV deployment do feature incentives for dealerships, to encourage these key partners.
A major barrier to consumer adoption of EVs in Georgia was the loss of the tax credit combined with the introduction of an EV tax. Don Francis of Clean Cities Georgia showed that this tax appears to significantly exceed the foregone gas tax revenue from EVs. When discussing incentives for EVs, it is important to ensure that EV owners are not being unfairly subsidized by non-EV owners. However, the air quality benefits are real and do have economic value; this provides a foundation for utility investment in EV infrastructure (and/or EV rebates) in Kansas City, Jacksonville, and other cities.
Tesla sees EV adoption on a trajectory similar to cell phones. When Tesla started in 2004, the company made a list of barriers to EV adoption (such as range, appeal, performance, and charging infrastructure) and has worked systematically to address each barrier.
Participants shared their thoughts on the event and what they saw as the key needs going forward. One priority was finding ways to accommodate higher powered chargers without incurring exorbitant demand charges or unduly straining the grid. Integration of storage into chargers might be a good fit here, especially if the utility can operate the battery to provide other revenue streams and defer other costs.
Coordination between cities and utilities was seen as important, to reduce costs of infrastructure improvements. Funds from the Volkwagen settlement may provide an opportunity for cities and utilities to engage in long-term planning that would include EV infrastructure. The Atlanta airport installation of EV chargers grew out of collaboration between the city, the utility, and the PSC. This required the intervention of top-level policymakers to move the project forward. While it is great to have such champions, they do have constraints on their time and cannot directly shepherd every project to completion.
Other discussions featured the value of flexible loads, including not only EVs but also pool pumps, water heaters, and air conditioners. Utility representatives reiterated the importance of knowing where on the grid the EV chargers were being installed, including the specific feeder. Engagement with EV owners, as seen in the Salt River Project, could be helpful here.
Finally, there was an overall commitment to maintain the connections and the information exchange from this conference, and to continue to support EVs moving forwards. Bringing together diverse perspectives, replicating successes, dispelling myths, and highlighting innovative developments will drive change in the future.

EAST Students at Clinton High School Help 71-Year Old College Student
Last Updated:12/1/2021
71-year old Mary Jean Hall is going back to college with a little help from a couple of EAST students from Clinton High School.
Investing in the next generation is what EAST is all about. But as a couple of EAST students at Clinton High School have shown, sometimes preparing the next generation is done by investing in those who have gone before them.
EAST at Clinton High School facilitator Sarah Hutchins reached out to EAST students Calvin Drew Koone and Katelynn Thatcher to help out someone they did not expect; a 71 year old college student named Mary Jean Hall.
"My facilitator told us that a lady was having some computer issues in one of her college courses, so I volunteered to help and met Ms. Hall," Calvin said. "Her project had to do with mortality rates in a specific graveyard by year. I helped take her data and format it into tables."
Katelynn helped Mary Jean with a couple of math and science projects, showing her how to create graphs and calculate mean values with her computer.
"I was called out of English class one day to help her. At first I didn't know what was happening, but once everything was explained, I was glad to help," Katelynn said. "I was amazed at her determination to complete college even after it had been so long since her past schooling. I was amazed that she was able to overcome so many obstacles to gain her college degree and I am glad that I was able to be a part of that process."
Hutchins was impacted personally by the students' interactions with Mary Jean as well, as her eyes were opened to just how valuable education is to those who might not take it for granted.
"One take away that I noticed from other students was the value in education," Hutchins said. "Ms. Hall was unable to go to college when she graduated but took advantage of the opportunity. She said it was one of her bucket list items. Kids saw the importance of having goals and working to achieve them no matter how long it took."
Mary Jean expanded on what Hutchins said, saying she wanted to go to college in the 60's when she was younger, but never had the opportunity until now.
"I always wanted to go to college," Mary Jean said. "I never had the chance to go to college, but if you're over 60 you can go for free, so I'm just taking advantage of my age. And I believe you're never too old to learn."
She says she loved working with the EAST students at Clinton High School, and has already visited them again and will continue to do so.
"They were really patient and helpful," Mary Jean said. "I was on a walker and they walked me all the way out to my car. They said I could come back any time whenever I needed help."


Last years fun spooky trick or treating and haunted fun times is back this year with Havenhollow Returns! The trick or treating is still the same but there is a new haunted area to explore!
Once again the trick or treating on the sim is just fun in itself. Each home gives out something different and the decorations on each house is different from last year! The details the sim designers put into the build is amazing.
And again the way to the Scary area is hidden. Find the little girl talking about the pumpkin patch and follow her directions. there is nothing where last years haunted house was at.
And this years haunted are is a creepy abandoned either Asylum or hospital, not fully sure which. Be SURE to wear the hud you're given to move about the place properly.
Once you get though the haunted area you're taken to a pumpkin patch with prizes, both free and for sale. As well as an auction for a date with the members of group that puts on Havenhollow.
So go have some fun! Collect candy and get scared!
And I am now about to go load up my car and head off to The Haunted Castle of Muskogee. Same place my Renfaire is in May. Only now it's done up for halloween with various haunted to go through. If you live near Muskogee, OK come find me at the Fireside Stories area! It's free to get into the grounds *just not the haunts* and I am one of the storytellers!

The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry (the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction in the United States often omits the and, while the English Constitution in the United Kingdom omits the Scottish), commonly known as simply the Scottish Rite or in the United Kingdom as the Rose Croix (although this is only one of its degrees), is one of several Rites of Freemasonry. A Rite is a progressive series of degrees conferred by various Masonic organizations or bodies, each of which operates under the control of its own central authority. In the Scottish Rite the central authority is called a Supreme Council.
The Scottish Rite is one of the appendant bodies of Freemasonry that a Master Mason may join for further exposure to the principles of Freemasonry. In England and some other countries, while the Scottish Rite is not accorded official recognition by the Grand Lodge, there is no prohibition against a Freemason electing to join it. In the United States, however, the Scottish Rite is officially recognized by Grand Lodges as an extension of the degrees of Freemasonry. The Scottish Rite builds upon the ethical teachings and philosophy offered in the craft lodge, or Blue Lodge, through dramatic presentation of the individual degrees.

Nob Hill Masonic Center of San Francisco (also known as the Masonic Temple or Masonic Auditorium) is a public venue at 1111 California Street in San Francisco, California. The venue was formally dedicated on 29 September 1958.
It has several large sculptures representing the four branches of the Armed Services on its outside wall. There is a frieze representing a gigantic tug of war between good and evil forces. Inside, it has a unique mosaic window designed by artist Emile Norman. The mosaic depicts a variety of natural themes as well as the professions. It contains gravel and soil from each of the 58 counties in California.
The Masonic Auditorium currently hosts many concerts and other live events and is managed by Live Nation.
Freemasonry came to California in the wake of the Gold Rush of 1849. The first meeting of California Lodge No. 13 took place November 17, 1849, on Montgomery Street. The Montgomery Street location was replaced by a new Masonic Hall on Kearny and Pine Streets June 6, 1850, and renamed the California Masonic Lodge No. 1. The current location opened in 1958.

The Scottish people (Scots: Scots Fowk, Scottish Gaelic: Albannaich), or Scots, are a nation and socially defined ethnic group resident in Scotland. Historically, they emerged from an amalgamation of two groups—the Picts and Gaels—who founded the Kingdom of Scotland (or Alba) in the 9th century, and thought to have been ethnolinguistically Celts. Later, the neighbouring Cumbrian Britons, who also spoke a Celtic language, as well as Germanic-speaking Anglo-Saxons and Norse, were incorporated into the Scottish nation.
In modern use, "Scottish people" or "Scots" is used to refer to anyone whose linguistic, cultural, family ancestral or genetic origins are from within Scotland. The Latin word Scotti originally referred to the Gaels but came to describe all inhabitants of Scotland. Though sometimes considered archaic or pejorative, the term Scotch has also been used for the Scottish people, though this usage is current primarily outside Scotland.
There are people of Scottish descent in many countries other than Scotland. Emigration, influenced by factors such as the Highland and Lowland Clearances, Scottish participation in the British Empire, and latterly industrial decline and unemployment, resulted in Scottish people being found throughout the world. Large populations of Scottish people settled the new-world lands of North and South America, Australia and New Zealand. There is a Scottish presence at a particularly high level in Canada, which has the highest level per-capita of Scots descendants in the world and second largest population of descended Scots ancestry after the United States. They took with them their Scottish languages and culture.

Very interesting class! I made a 1 foot tall sculpture I could take home with me! Great stuff, you learn all about Powertex - fabric hardening paint and powder inks. Happy to go again!
I never expected a single class had so much scope for creativity! Really informative class and the skill was easy to pick up for the non-expert. Rachel was very knowledgeable and supported us all well, our final pieces completed in 5 hours and uniquely different from each other -I got a few new ideas from watching my classmates too! From one class alone I feel confident and can't wait to pursue new projects inspired by the material. I am very interested in coming back to Craft My Day to see what else I can take up.
Great Powertex session with Rachel. Amazed that I could go home with something so impressive and it was a fantastic medium to work with. Cant wait to do more crafting!
All materials and protective apron, and refreshments will be provided. Lunch is not provided, please bring a packed lunch, or there are many local places that you can purchase food.

Willard (n.d.) ties spirituality and the body to discipleship, which is "conformity to Christ." One cannot become a fully devoted disciple without discipline. The call of the disciple is conformity in every aspect of life to the image of Christ, including what we do with our bodies, for "if the body is simply beyond redemption, then ordinary life is too" (Willard, n.d.). In these words, I sense Willard confronting a subtle Gnosticism that can creep into Christian thought. Matter matters in spirituality!
Willard takes us beyond a stewardship approach of the body. He leads us to a spiritual approach to the body, and this spiritually approach to the body is submission to Christ. "When Jesus taught about discipleship, on the other hand, He made it very clear that one could not be the servant of the body and its demands and also succeed in His course of training" (Willard, n.d.). This spirituality of the body is active on our part, but supported by grace, for "nothing inspires and enhances effort like the experience of grace" (Willard, n.d.).

Please pray that we may know God's will in this matter
We are publishing updates on the Refurbishment page

Real March Madness, Year 2
For the second year in a row, the Individual Mandate has taken the tarnished crown as the "winner" of our REAL March Madness ObamaCare bracket game.
You can click here to view the entire results of the 2nd REAL March Madness tournament.
It's not hard to understand why the Individual Mandate has claimed the title two years running.
As Cato Institute Senior Fellow and Georgetown University law professor Randy Barnett explains here, the mandate is unprecedented, unlimited, unnecessary, and dangerous.
It's unprecedented because never before in the name of enforcing a law has Congress claimed the power to forcibly compel private citizens into private contracts with private businesses.
It is unlimited because even the lawyers for President Obama's Department of Justice — and even the lawyers who defended ObamaCare last week before the Supreme Court — have struggled and failed to offer a single limiting principle on the power represented by the creation of the individual mandate. The lack of any limiting principle to this power means, in effect, the end of our nation's tradition of limited and enumerated government powers.
It is unnecessary because all along Congress has had the power to create a new health care regime — but it knew that the American people wouldn't stand for an explicit government take-over of health care, so they opted instead to disguise this goal by creating a mandate for "private" insurance. Ironically, the individual mandate is also vastly unpopular, with a stunning 72% of Americans believing that it expressly violates the Constitution.
And finally, the individual mandate is dangerous because standing behind it to enforce it on an unwilling American populace is the full power of the government. That's the power not only to impose fines and penalties, but to even imprison citizens for the "crime" of not purchasing health insurance.
Our REAL March Madness bracket game was just that — a game. But the individual mandate and ObamaCare are deeply serious matters.
Click here to contact your Congressman and your Senators. Let them know that you're not just waiting and hoping for the Supreme Court will strike down ObamaCare.
Tell them that you're counting on them to do the right thing and repeal this unconstitutional government take-over our our private health care decisions.

My heart is still full from one of the most meaningful experiences I've had in a long time. Last night our predominantly white Centenary United Methodist Church came to worship together with St. Paul United Methodist Church, who are predominantly African American. We had folks from United Methodist Churches in the east Winston Salem area join us. It wasn't just a joint worship of strangers that share a denominational title. In fact the Holy Spirit showed up in a powerful way and it felt like I was worshipping with family.
It was a beautiful thing to see black and white together, not exactly sure of ourselves but trusting enough to just be together. To gaze on our joint choir and watch as each group learned and sang songs from the other's traditions. The joy on their face and the incredible sound they produced moved me to by core.
To hear words spoken from young and old voices, black and white voices, clergy and lay voices that named our pain, our broken heartedness, our fears, and our hope in God and in the Body of Christ was powerful. There could have been no better balm for my weary and saddened soul then to sit in God's presence and lament from the deepest part of my heart with brothers and sisters of like mind.
And we were of like mind. All of us were saddened over the death of black men at the hands of police officers. All of us were saddened over the death of officers in uniform at the hands of black snipers. All of us long for safe spaces to share how we feel about what is going on around us. All of us long for taking some next steps that matter. We just aren't sure what they are. But we are sure that together, we can help this community of Winston Salem find a better way through this than what our nation has experienced. I'm grateful to Rev. Donald Jenkins and his courage and boldness to partner with us and help us find a better way forward.
I have hope like I haven't felt in a long time. Politicians won't solve this for us. But God sure does have a message that we can share that can solve this. And last night I saw a group of people who because of the love and hope that Jesus preached and modeled believe that we can do the same today.
We know that the whole creation is groaning together and suffering labor pains up until now. And it's not only the creation. We ourselves who have the Spirit as the first crop of the harvest also groan inside as we wait to be adopted and for our bodies to be set free. We were saved in hope. If we see what we hope for, that isn't hope. Who hopes for what they already see? But if we hope for what we don't see, we wait for it with patience.
In the same way, the Spirit comes to help our weakness. We don't know what we should pray, but the Spirit himself pleads our case with unexpressed groans. The one who searches hearts knows how the Spirit thinks, because he pleads for the saints, consistent with God's will. We know that God works all things together for good for the ones who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.
I have a message to share about wanting to be there and why I wasn't but that is for you alone and not on Facebook. I am so happy you as well as others were blessed and was praying that good would come out of this gathering. From the looks of your heart it must have been a joyous time!!!

WattNode® meters use Euroblock style pluggable screw terminal blocks for line voltage, current transformer, and output connections. All WNB and WNC models use the same terminal blocks for the voltage and current transformer input connections. The only model differences are the output connections: LonWorks based meters use a two position terminal block, while the BACnet, Modbus, and pulse meters use four position terminal blocks. Note that all WNA series and the WNB-FT10 series meters are obsolete products that have been replaced by newer models.
Two sets per bag of Voltage input, CT input, and Output terminal blocks. Note that all WNA series and the WNB-FT10 series models are obsolete products that have been replaced by newer models.
The terminal block screws are recessed for protection but they are conductive. Do not contact metal tools to the screw terminals if the circuit is live!
Green line voltage input terminal blocks are only rated for one wire per screw terminal. If you need to connect voltage to more then one meter, use wire nuts or distribute power using a multi circuit terminal strip.
Black CT input and output terminal blocks will accept more than one wire per screw terminal.
Before turning on the power to the WattNode meter, pull on each wire to make sure that the connection is tight.
The terminal blocks used on the original WNA series WattNode Pulse and LonWorks models are not compatible with newer WattNode models. Both Pulse and LonWorks WNA models for delta electrical service use the same terminal blocks, and both WNA models for wye service use the same terminal blocks.

10 Surprising Facts About How Hollywood Sex Scenes Really Get Made
Articles, Cosmopolitan
1. Dance choreographers are often called in to help. It takes a lot of thought to make on-screen hookups seem both spontaneous and graceful — i.e. nothing like messy regular-people sex. New York-based choreographer Tricia Brouk has been brought on to help map out scenes that include especially physical movements. (Her credits include the short-lived ABC series Black Box and the Off-Off Broadway musical Tokyo Confidential.) She first choreographs the scene with herself and another dancer, then shows what she calls her "dance" to the actors and director. She'll then teach the routine to each actor as she plays the opposite role. "Nothing is left to chance," she says, "so that no one feels like they are being groped, which could make an actor feel unsafe and therefore unable to be present in the scene."

title: Convention over configuration in NServiceBus 3.0

One of the key goals for NServiceBus 3.0 is to remove much of the need for configuration and there by improve the out of the box experience. In order to achieve this we have introduced the concept of a EndpointName that will be used to control our naming conventions.

The endpoint name is the name of a individual endpoint and must be unique across your solution. The only exception to this rule is when you are scaling out using the master node concept where the same logical endpoint would reside on many physical servers, more on that in a upcoming post.

Conventions that use the endpoint name

The following conventions use the endpoint name to configure various parts of NServiceBus. Note that the {masternode} will be localhost if not specified.

Local address - The local address (input queue) of your endpoint will be the {endpointname}

Subscriptions - If you use the Msmq subscription storage the name of the queue used to store the subscribers will be {endpointname}.subscriptions

Raven database name - The database name when storing data related to the endpoint will be {endpointname}

Timeout manager address - The address of the timeout manager will be {endpointname}.timeouts@{masternode}

Gateway input address - The address where the gateway will pickup outgoing messages will be {endpointname}.Gateway@{masternode}

Gateway url - If you use the http/https channel the url that the gateway will listen to is defaulted to http(s)://localhost/{endpointname}

Distributor input queue - The input queue of the distributor will be {endpointname}@{masternode}

Distributor control queue - The control queue of the distributor will be {endpointname}.distributor.control@{masternode}

Distributor storage queue - The local storage queue of the distributor will be {endpointname}.distributor.storage

How to specify the endpoint name

There are multiple ways that you can define the endpoint name. Lets look at them one by one.

If not specified by the user the namespace of the class implementing IConfigureThisEndpoint will be used as the endpoint name when running the NServiceBus host. If your project is called MyServer and the config is in the root this will result in the endpoint name "MyServer". This is the recommended way to name a endpoint.

If not specified by the user when custom hosting NServiceBus the namespace of the class calling NServiceBus.Configure.With() will be used. For websites this will likely be the namespace of your global.asax.cs

You can set the endpoint name using the [EndpointName] attribute on your endpoint configuration.

You can implement the INameThisEndpoint interface on your endpoint config

If you specify a explicit service name when installing the NServiceBus host this will be used as endpoint name: /serviceName:""MyEndpoint"

You can specify a endpoint name when running the NServiceBus host: /endpointName:""MyEndpoint"

As you can see there is lots of ways to do this. But if all the above is not enough you can define your own convention using:

Configure.DefineEndpointName(()=>{....})

Upgrading from NServiceBus 2.6

Users upgrading from 2.6 need to name their endpoint to the same name as their current input queue since there is no way to explicitly set the input queue in NServiceBus 3.0

In closing

Naming your endpoint will be a very important thing going forward and the framework will try to push you in that direction by not making it to easy for you to override. This will hope fully help us further improve our "convention over configuration" support make it even easier for you to build, deploy and run NServiceBus in the future.
