Released under GPL v3 or later. Netdata uses third party tools.
To protect your privacy, the dashboard will check all data transferred for cross site scripting (XSS).
This is CPU intensive, so your browser might be a bit slower.
If you trust the remote server, you can disable XSS protection.
If you don't trust the remote server, you should keep the protection on.
netdata dashboards cannot be captured, since we are lazy loading and hiding all but the visible charts.
To capture the whole page with all the charts rendered, a new browser window will pop-up that will render all the charts at once. The new browser window will maintain the current pan and zoom settings of the charts. So, align the charts before proceeding.
This process will put some CPU and memory pressure on your browser.
For the netdata server, we will sequencially download all the charts, to avoid congesting network and server resources.
Please, do not print netdata dashboards on paper!
Please wait while we initialize and render all the charts on the dashboard.
The print dialog will appear as soon as we finish rendering the page.
netdata can export and import dashboard snapshots. Any netdata can import the snapshot of any other netdata. The snapshots are not uploaded to a server. They are handled entirely by your web browser, on your computer.
Browse for a snapshot file (or drag it and drop it here), then click Import to render it.
Select the desired resolution of the snapshot. This is the seconds of data per point.
Select snaphost resolution. This controls the size the snapshot file.
The generated snapshot will include all charts of this dashboard, for the visible timeframe, so align, pan and zoom the charts as needed. The scroll position of the dashboard will also be saved. The snapshot will be downloaded as a file, to your computer, that can be imported back into any netdata dashboard (no need to import it back on this server).
Snapshot files include all the information of the dashboard, including the URL of the origin server, its netdata unique ID, etc. So, if you share the snapshot file with third parties, they will be able to access the origin server, if this server is exposed on the internet.
Snapshots are handled entirely by the web browser. The netdata servers are not aware of them.
netdata is a new way to monitor your systems and applications, to get real-time insights of what is really happening and what affects performance. It is carefully optimised to be a real-time system, without interfering in any way, to the core function of your systems.
netdata has been designed to monitor massive amounts of metrics, per server, per second. When installed, it might come up with 1k to 3k metrics, but we have been testing it with 100k metrics, all collected per second, and still the cpu utilisation remained negligible.
We have also tried to give each metric, a meaning, a context. We have grouped and categorized all metrics into meaningful charts, providing a better understanding of the underlying technologies and mechanisms.
netdata is free, open-source software. If you decide to use it, it is important to give netdata a star at GitHub.
Mouse over on a chart to show, at its legend, the values for the timestamp under the mouse (the chart will also highlight the point at the chart).
All the other visible charts will also show and highlight their values for the same timestamp.
Drag the contents of a chart, by pressing the left mouse button and moving the mouse, to pan it horizontally.
All the charts will follow soon after you let the chart alone (this little delay is by design: it speeds up your browser and lets you focus on what you are exploring).
Once a chart is panned, auto refreshing stops for all charts. To enable it again, double click a panned chart.
Double Click a chart to reset all the charts to their default auto-refreshing state.
New data are transferred from the netdata server, to refresh the chart with possibly more detail.
Once a chart is zoomed, auto refreshing stops for all charts. To enable it again, double click a zoomed chart.
While pressing the ALT key, press the left mouse button on the contents of a chart and move the mouse to select an area. The selected are will be highlighted on all charts.
While pressing the SHIFT key and the mouse pointer is over the contents of a chart, scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in or out. This kind of zooming is aligned to center below the mouse pointer. The other charts will follow too.
Click on the label or value of a dimension, will select / un-select this dimension.
You can press any of the SHIFT or CONTROL keys and then click on legend labels or values, to select / un-select multiple dimensions.
Single Tap on the contents of a chart to show, at its legend, the values for the timestamp tapped (the chart will also highlight the point at the chart).

These are browser settings. Each viewer has its own. They do not affect the operation of your netdata server.
Settings take effect immediately and are saved permanently to browser local storage (except the refresh on focus / always option).
To reset all options (including charts sizes) to their defaults, click here.
When to refresh the charts?
When set to On Focus, the charts will stop being updated if the page / tab does not have the focus of the user. When set to Always, the charts will always be refreshed. Set it to On Focus it to lower the CPU requirements of the browser (and extend the battery of laptops and tablets) when this page does not have your focus. Set to Always to work on another window (i.e. change the settings of something) and have the charts auto-refresh in this window.
When set to Non Zero, dimensions that have all their values (within the current view) set to zero will not be transferred from the netdata server (except if all dimensions of the chart are zero, in which case this setting does nothing - all dimensions are transferred and shown). When set to All, all dimensions will always be shown. Set it to Non Zero to lower the data transferred between netdata and your browser, lower the CPU requirements of your browser (fewer lines to draw) and increase the focus on the legends (fewer entries at the legends).
How to handle hidden charts?
When set to Destroy, charts that are not in the current viewport of the browser (are above, or below the visible area of the page), will be destroyed and re-created if and when they become visible again. When set to Hide, the not-visible charts will be just hidden, to simplify the DOM and speed up your browser. Set it to Destroy, to lower the memory requirements of your browser. Set it to Hide for faster restoration of charts on page scrolling.
When set to Sync, charts will be examined for their visibility immediately after scrolling. On slow computers this may impact the smoothness of page scrolling. To update the page when scrolling ends, set it to Async. Set it to Sync for immediate chart updates when scrolling. Set it to Async for smoother page scrolling on slower computers.
Which chart refresh policy to use?
When set to parallel, visible charts are refreshed in parallel (all queries are sent to netdata server in parallel) and are rendered asynchronously. When set to sequential charts are refreshed one after another. Set it to parallel if your browser can cope with it (most modern browsers do), set it to sequential if you work on an older/slower computer.
Shall we re-sync chart refreshes?
When set to Resync, the dashboard will attempt to re-synchronize all the charts so that they are refreshed concurrently. When set to Best Effort, each chart may be refreshed with a little time difference to the others. Normally, the dashboard starts refreshing them in parallel, but depending on the speed of your computer and the network latencies, charts start having a slight time difference. Setting this to Resync will attempt to re-synchronize the charts on every update. Setting it to Best Effort may lower the pressure on your browser and the network.
Sync hover selection on all charts?
When enabled, a selection on one chart will automatically select the same time on all other visible charts and the legends of all visible charts will be updated to show the selected values. When disabled, only the chart getting the user's attention will be selected. Enable it to get better insights of the data. Disable it if you are on a very slow computer that cannot actually do it.
Sync pan and zoom on all charts?
When enabled, pan and zoom operations on a chart will be replicated to all charts (even the ones that are not currently visible - of course only when they will become visible). When disabled, pan and zoom operations will not be propagated to other charts.
Netdata comes with two themes: Dark (the default) and White.
Switching this will reload the dashboard.
Netdata can show some help in some areas to help you use the dashboard. If all these balloons bother you, disable them using this switch.
Enable data padding when panning and zooming?
When set to Pad the charts will be padded with more data, both before and after the visible area, thus giving the impression the whole database is loaded. This padding will happen only after the first pan or zoom operation on the chart (initially all charts have only the visible data). When set to Don't Pad only the visible data will be transfered from the netdata server, even after the first pan and zoom operation.
Enable Bézier lines on charts?
When set to Smooth the charts libraries that support it, will plot smooth curves instead of simple straight lines to connect the points.
Keep in mind dygraphs, the main charting library in netdata dashboards, can only smooth line charts. It cannot smooth area or stacked charts. When set to Rough, this setting can lower the CPU resources consumed by your browser.
These settings are applied gradually, as charts are updated. To force them, refresh the dashboard now.
Enable auto-scaling of select units?
When set to Scale Units the values shown will dynamically be scaled (e.g. 1000 kilobits will be shown as 1 megabit). Netdata can auto-scale these original units: kilobits/s, kilobytes/s, KB/s, KB, MB, and GB. When set to Fixed Units all the values will be rendered using the original units maintained by the netdata server.
Which units to use for temperatures?
Set the temperature units of the dashboard.
When set to Time, charts that present seconds will show DDd:HH:MM:SS. When set to Seconds, the raw number of seconds will be presented.
Show browser local time or server time?
When set to Your Time, the charts will use your browser local time. When set to Server Time the charts will use the server time.
Set it to Your Time to have a common time-reference, no matter where the server is and which time zone it uses (all your dashboards will report your local time). Set it to Server Time when you need to compare netdata charts with server log files.
Your browser time zone is: -.
The server reported timezone is: - (you can set this in netdata.conf [global].timezone).
The current time zone on the dashboard is: -.

Crypto-Friendly Japan Mulling ICO Ban?
Japan's support of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is unlikely to extend to initial coin offerings, according to prominent local entrepreneur Koji Higashi.
Higashi says a Japanese ban on ICOs is a "definite possibility," according to Forbes.
Initial coin offerings (ICOs) have taken the world by storm, with more than $2.3 billion raised this year alone. The controversial crowdfunding model is being investigated by several nations trying to determine whether new coin offerings fall under the domain of securities laws. A surge in fraudulent ICO cases is also placing more pressure on regulators to protect investors.
Japan is considered one of the most market-friendly nations for cryptocurrency. Earlier this year, the government accepted bitcoin as legal tender. Since the Payments Services Act legalized cryptocurrency, regulators have approved 11 exchanges (full list).
Japan's decision on ICOs will have important consequences on the broader market. As CCN notes, "a ban could potential limit the number of investors" and digital curency exchanges, thereby diminishing liquidity in the booming ICO market.
Ethereum, which has emerged as the platform of choice for ICO entrepreneurs, declined over the weekend. Prices have since fallen another 3% to $287.
The world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization underwent a successful fork last week, but hasn't yet stabilized, according to founder Vitalik Buterin. The second leg of the Metropolis fork known as Constantinople is forthcoming, although no timetable for its implementation has been provided.
Like other cryptos, the ether token has skyrocketed this year. However, new highs have proven elusive as of late as the token continues to struggle with resistance levels north of the critical $300 level.


Last Friday, August 12, marked the third anniversary of the historic ruling in Floyd v. City of New York, in which a federal court ruled the NYPD's stop-and-frisk practices unconstitutional and racially discriminatory. At the time, fear-mongering apologists for the NYPD predicted mayhem and violence if the massive violations of Black and brown New Yorkers' rights did not continue.
Across the U.S., recognition is growing that the effects of broken windows, zero tolerance policing practices have been devastating to Black, brown and other historically marginalized communities, and deadly for many people in those communities.
Of course Black and brown people suffering under these policing practices have been pointing out their harmful effects for decades. While reports like the DOJ's on Baltimore's policing are welcome, they are years overdue. When complaints from marginalized communities are, well, marginalized, it can take a mass movement—in this case the Movement for Black Lives and other similar grassroots racial justice and police accountability campaigns—to force media, government, and those who are blissfully unaware of such policing practices to pay attention. Let this be a lesson to all--listen to the people best poised to understand the effects of policies and practices: those living with the effects of them. That's why CCR pushed for and won community input as a central feature of the court-ordered reform process in Floyd.
As those who have followed Floyd know, the work of actually reforming NYPD practices is a long and difficult process with countless steps that we've reported on periodically. Last week, the survey seeking public input on the departmental policy that will govern the use of body-worn cameras by NYPD officers during the upcoming year-long court-ordered pilot program concluded, and the monitor filed his most recent status report, detailing proposed changes to the size and scope of the pilot. The NYPD will prepare a public response to the survey data, which should be available sometime this fall.
Also anticipated for this fall are the launch of public events to elicit New Yorkers' feedback on additional reforms to be made to the NYPD's stop-and-frisk practices. These are part of the Joint Remedial Process ordered by the court, which has been underway for several months now under the supervision of the court-appointed facilitator. We long advocated for such a process, building on the work of our allies across the U.S. in ensuring meaningful opportunities for input by affected communities.
Stay tuned! If you want additional updates on the Joint Remedial Process, sign up here.

Bowen family systems theory is used to conceptualize disorder and guide behavior on an inpatient psychiatric unit. Bowen theory represents a natural systems framework for considering function and dysfunction. The unit is described, including the admission and evaluation process. The concepts of the emotional system, differentiation of self, individual togetherness forces, triangles, and societal emotional process facilitate understanding the "identified patient" as a component of his own family emotional system. Also considered are the patient's and the family's emotional functioning as a component of the larger societal emotional system represented by the hospital. An awareness of the emotional processes has the potential to reduce the risk of unwittingly repeating in the treatment process and in the societal system those components that have supported the dysfunction leading to hospitalization.

Caroline / Moorehead
Mussolini was not only ruthless: he was subtle and manipulative. Black-shirted thugs did his dirty work for him: arson, murder, destruction of homes and offices, bribes, intimidation and the forcible administration of castor oil. His opponents were beaten into submission. But the tide turned in 1924 when his assassins went too far, horror spread across Italy and 20 years of struggle began. Antifascist resistance was born and it would end only with Mussolini's death in 1945. Among those whose disgust hardened into bold and uncompromising resistance was a family from Florence: Amelia, Carlo and Nello Rosselli. Caroline Moorehead's research into the Rossellis struck gold. She has drawn on letters and diaries never previously translated into English to reveal, in all its intimacy, a family driven by loyalty, duty and courage, yet susceptible to all the self-doubt and fear that humans are prey to.

I use basic materials that define space: steel chain and short lengths of steel wire.
The structures are minimal, spacious, without complexity.
Despite the geometry and material, they are not hard pieces.
Softness enters the pieces as they drape and conform to the environment they interact with, the gentle pull of gravity, the planar surfaces of a table, the curves of the body.
There is a delicacy in the line and in the structure, but these flexible perimeters create their own spaces, capturing a moment within their curves and edges.
These pieces are necklaces, they are drawings, they are possibilities.
They stand alone, but they can interact and still maintain their individuality.
They leave room for interpretation, creating space for the viewer to exist.
The pieces also cross boundaries: they are contemporary jewelry, drawings, sculpture, and design.
This is the place I want to explore and develop in my work, the potential of creating spaces for the object and the viewer to exist together in an easy conversation.
I am interested in the variety that one piece, one simple structure, can contain. How does the piece maintain its own perimeters no matter how it is pushed or pulled, draped or stretched…even when a human form is inserted into the space.

Recall Alert: Why you'll want to toss those boxes of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Out!
If you grew up on Kraft Mac and Cheese like I did, then having this in your pantry is normal. Recently Kraft issued a voluntary recall of 242,000 cases of its Macaroni & Cheese Dinner because some boxes may contain small pieces of metal.
We know these popular boxes of Mac & Cheese are easy quick dinner fixes they many people give their children. The question is, what's actually in the box and what are you feeding your kids.
I did a little research and found out that these colorful boxes have many harmful ingredients. What I also discovered was that In Europe, foods with Yellow No. 5 are required to include a warning label that says, "This product may have adverse effect on activity and attention in children." Instead of adding this label on its products, Kraft decided to remove the artificial dyes from its European line, and uses paprika and beta-carotene to add color. The company has not make the same change in the United States.
By adding these dyes and coloring to foods and a variety of products, companies make them look more tasty or appealing to consumers. It is cheaper for the food companies to make these products with PETROLEUM-derived dyes opposed to using Paprika & Beta-carotene for color.
Research shows these ingredients are TOXIC enough to cause CANCER! Parents found a significant increase in hyperactivity in their children during the weeks that they consumed drinks with the artificial colors. These artificial colors are damaging and we need to do something about it.

Student Union Assembly (SUA) President Ray Inoue announced he will be resigning from his position at the end of fall quarter. Inoue, who ran unopposed in the spring of 2016, won over 90 percent of the vote with a record high voter turnout of approximately 45 percent. Members of SUA said Inoue's resignation is the first to occur in the organization's over thirty-year history.
Inoue resigned from the presidency for his own physical and mental health. He will be taking a leave of absence from UC Santa Cruz to spend five weeks in London. When he returns to Santa Cruz in spring quarter he plans to continue his work in the campus expansion student coalition and the student union working group, as well as seeking out new student run spaces to be involved in.
The SUA constitution outlines that in the case of the president's resignation, the vice president of internal affairs (IVP) will take over as president. If they refuse, the vice president of external affairs (EVP) will take over. At Tuesday night's assembly meeting, both IVP Grace Shefcik and EVP Judith Gutierrez declined the position of presidency.
Since neither vice president will take the position, Shefcik will act as interim president while the assembly searches for someone to take over the position. She will therefore be simultaneously acting as SUA president and IVP — Shefcik will be paid for both positions until a new president is hired. The presidency would add an additional $900 monthly on top of her current salary while holding both offices.
The SUA constitution does not outline the election process for the president if both the EVP and IVP refuse the presidency but, it does state that for any other SUA position the assembly will host an open election advertising the position with fliers around campus for at least two weeks beginning next week.
The SUA is adopting this policy for the presidency position, so the appointment will be open to any currently registered UCSC student. Those running will be interviewed by members of the SUA in week two of winter quarter. Forty-six assembly members will then vote on the next SUA president.

Manchester United Fans: Don't behave like brats!
Srivats Venkateswaran
Disclaimer: This article is the writer's personal views and in no way represents EssentiallySports' outlook.
Yet another loss, Manchester United. And this time, it was against FC Midtjylland, a Danish side not many had even heard of before the name popped up against the so-called 'giants' of the Premier League. While the Danish team was playing at home, it was no surprise that the fans couldn't contain their frustration anymore. They are sick and tired of their team being unable to cope with unheard teams from an unknown part of footballing Europe.
Unfortunately, it is not just the fans! Football 'pundits' and ex-United players have been lambasting Louis van Gaal's approach towards the game and how he has been completely ineffective in his duty towards their beloved. The English media only adds gasoline to the flame, igniting it and posing questions over the club's future.
Many even compare the club's future to that of Liverpool's! Dear United fans, stop acting like brats.
Yes, nobody is denying the fact that the team were below par on Thursday. They were weak all throughout, and the midfield was absent at times. But what do you expect, when 14 of your best players have been ruled out of the game due to unforeseen injuries?
The best you can do is what Louis van Gaal did: – tried to play a makeshift right back, give youngsters a chance to start, and try to fit pieces of a puzzle, hoping it'd turn into something beautiful. Now, assuming you don't have the right pieces, would it ever look the same as it was intended to? McNair and Donald Love, the two young defenders performed reasonably well despite one debuting a start and the other starting some 20 odd matches at senior level. Blind is not supposed to be a left back.
The next question often raised is 'How they could lose to a team like FC Midtjylland?'. There are a few stats which need to be shown before further questions are raised. While United has had an increased spell of matches, playing Sunderland on Saturday before the game, the manager also needs to keep in mind of the next game- The FA cup tie against Shrewsbury on Tuesday. 2 days later, We play Midtjylland again at home followed by Arsenal with a 1 day gap in between. Now, as a manager who has to put forward a team which can deal with such a tight schedule, and also somehow cope up with 14 injuries, I can only pity his role. It is no shock that the team didn't play well against their Danish counterparts due to lack of a consistent team. For a team to perform to the best of their capabilities, one needs to understand and attune themselves to what they are being trained for. With players coming in and going out almost every single game, there is no consistency in the team. Only David de Gea and Smalling looked to be the anchor in the sea.

The increased match counts have been having a really poor effect on the team. David de Gea was ruled out of the match because of an injury he suffered while warming up. Sergio Romero actually deserves a standing ovation for the commendable job he has done despite only being informed of his start 20 minutes prior to the game. So, dear fans, you think the team looked disjointed and out of shape? You know why now. Let's look at our opposition: This was the first game they had in the past 2 months and had a 20 game unbeaten run before their winter break. United, on the other hand, were on and off continually. Louis van Gaal's dismissal was not aiding the psychology of the team either.

Louis van Gaal's dismissal was not aiding the psychology of the team either.
Oh, so now they claim how they miss the United of the bygone years! And how they now understand Liverpool fans, who could only reminisce their glorious past. Well, the present team does not have the likes of Nemanja Vidic on the back lines, neither does it have someone like Paul Scholes in the middle. While Rooney does still lead up ahead, he is a shadow of his former self and has moved from a finishing player to a much more creative position. Sir Alex did not find them and develop them in just a year. Rooney was a process which matured brilliantly. Paul Scholes was in the class of 92′. Nemanja Vidic was already grabbing headlines before he came to United. When the present team tried to do the same with Luke Shaw, it was pure misfortune that he was ruled out for the season following a nasty injury against PSV. We do not have a Roy Keane in the middle, but we have to make do with an on and off Ander Herrera and Michael Carrick who is battling against his age for the club. Up ahead, we had to play Martial in the centre when he is often only put on the wings.

Up ahead, we had to play Martial in the centre when he is often only put on the wings.
Louis van Gaal is not a villain. He is not the doom of the club, neither is he worse than David Moyes. It was known right when he came in that his way of coaching is not textbook based. It is based on the training ground. He had told that he wouldn't deliver immediate success and would take at least 2-3 years to develop a formidable team. And that would be supposedly handed over to Ryan Giggs, who is now the assistant manager. When the facts were known all along, why the cribbing? On the other side, Louis van Gaal has given the youth more chances than ever. Warren Joyce has done his job brilliantly, providing Louis with a platter to choose the best from, and he has done that.

It is not all rotten for United either. Look at the future prospects! Keane has been outshining almost every other player in the league U-21's and has been no less than outstanding. Lingard, despite his lack of the finesse one needs, has all it takes to be a good player. He needs a potter to mould his clay into a beautiful chinaware. Martial, who was supposed to be the most wasteful buy of the summer turned out to be one of the few players who United could rely on.
United was never considered as a team fighting for the top spot this season. With all these unexpected issues popping up, it's a miracle how the team remained afloat managing to hold their ground somehow! Rather, they( the fans) would want their beloved Ryan Giggs to take up the position right away. Yes, their love for the legend is understandable, but it is also a veil. If he comes to manage the club right away, it'd be no different than Neville's despicable run at Valencia at the moment. While they may have a good sense of the game, managing is a totally different ball game, and there is a different world to learn on its own. Which is precisely why he is under Louis van Gaal. It is quite blatantly visible how desperation drools out due to the lack of silverware, despite the poor condition their team is having to make do with. Right now the team needs their support and not open-faced questions trying to put them off balance.

And with talks of Mourinho coming in to replace the Dutchman, it only seems to be a match made in heaven- spoilt brats made for each other.

Gabe Rygaard Die In Car Crash In Port Angeles
Netloid Team September 17, 2016
PORT ANGELES – In shocking news today, Gabe Rygaard of the hit show Ax Men has died in a car wreck. Fans are really shocked by this news that is just now coming out. KOMO News shared the details about what happened to Gabe Ryggard.
He is also known as a former Clallam County commissioner candidate. The wreck that took the life of Gabe happened at 9:22 a.m. Friday involving three vehicles on U. S. Highway 101, a quarter-mile east of Laird Road, west of Port Angeles.
After speculation, Gabe's father Craig confirmed that his son did die in the crash today. Clallam Fire District No. 2 Assistant Chief Dan Huff reported that the driver of a Ford Bronco died at Olympic Medical Center. This was due to injuries from the wreck, but so far a lot of details about what happened are not coming out. There were three different vehicles and seven different people in the wreck. Everyone else just had minor injuries.
The show Ax Men aired on History and was recently canceled. His family-owned Rygaard Logging Inc. was a big part of this show. Fans were really upset when they heard that it would not be coming back again and that Gabe wouldn't be on television anymore.
Lisa Kelly of Ice Road Truckers went to her Facebook page to share the news about Gabe. She simply shared a link to the article along with the comment "Its been a rough month." This is very true because it has been a hard time for the reality world lately. As the Inquisitr shared recently, Darrell Ward of Ice Road Truckers died in a plane crash. This was hard on the people on this show, as well as those who were close to him. Ice Road Truckers returned on August 4, featuring Darrell and his trucking partner, Lisa Kelly. Losing someone else she cares about is hard on Lisa.
Hopefully, more information will come out about Gabe Rygaard's accident and what went down. The fans would be interested to know a few more details, but at this time they simply know that Gabe has passed away and will be greatly missed. He was loved by many and died way too soon.
Peninsula Daily News shared back in April that Gabe Rygaard was trying to do something else with his career. At the time, he announced that he would run for Clallam County commissioner. He shared that he had been watching from the distance and had a lot of things that he wanted to change. This story revealed that his wife and business partner, Katy, 41, and him have three children ages 10 to 19. The death of Gabe Rygaard leaves these loved ones behind.
At the time, Gabe Rygaard shared that he is involved in his business, but he could oversee it without being there all the time. With having a lot of people who work for you, it makes it easier not to be there working every single day. He had never run for political office before. He did not advance from the Aug. 2 primary to the general election.
The fans of Ax Men are shocked to hear about the death of Gabe Rygaard. They had always had hopes that the show would come back again for another season, but that didn't happen.
Did you miss the show Ax Men and want it back for another season? Gabe Rygaard will be missed by his fans. Sound off in the comments section below on your thoughts. At this time, Ax Men is not coming back for another season, but you never know if they will change their mind in the future.

Why Trending "The Press In the Era of Trump"


It has been a couple of weeks since I last posted a blog. Life has been busy around here lately but am having a quiet Easter weekend so found the time to sit down and do some catching up. It is finally starting to feel somewhat like spring here now, the weather has warmed up enough so that we are finally getting some spring thaw – nothing compared to temperatures in Panama though – only have about 1 foot of snow left outside! I went online today and booked our flights to Panama in July for two weeks! This will be our first trip to Panama and hopefully not our last. Since we are thinking of making the big move to Panama we thought it would be wise to experience life during the rainy season. Now it's time to plan where we are going to stay. We are planning to rent a vehicle during our two week excursion and want to explore the areas along the pacific coast near Las Tablas as far west as David and are planning on staying in some bed and breakfasts along the way. We are definitely water people and want to be near the ocean. We arrive late in the evening so will be staying in Panama City our first night. If anyone out there has any suggestions on a good place to stay near the airport we would love to hear from you! Also, if you know of any good bed and breakfasts along the way, we are open to suggestions for these as well. Am looking so forward to planning our itinerary. Internet here I come!
TTFN – until next time!
http://www.hotelavila.com.pa/ I've stayed here and they are always very good to us. It's in the city though, not near the airport. The rainy season here reminds me very much of summer in Florida. Do whatever you need to do in the morning because by mid/late afternoon it's going to rain. It cools everything off and clears up by evening. And, the rain is warm! Being from the north (NY) I was surprised about that too.
Do you speak Spanish? The hotel recommendation above, often there isn't anyone at the desk who speaks English. I know they say there are a lot of English speakers here but that is not true, not even in Panama City. Start studying now if you need to! The more you know the better.
Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, we do not speak Spanish but do understand the importance of learning this beautiful language if we plan to retire in Panama and are planning to learn a few basic phrases before we head out! And once we are immersed in their culture, will tackle the task head on.
Also, we are planning to check out David during our travels. Any suggestions for a good B&B in the area?

Louisiana House, Fearful of Lawsuits, Rewrites Permission-Slip Prayer Bill May 18, 2018 Hemant Mehta
Louisiana House, Fearful of Lawsuits, Rewrites Permission-Slip Prayer Bill
Last month, the Louisiana Senate unanimously passed a bill allowing teachers and coaches to pray with students while on the job.
That, of course, is illegal. It's coercive. It sends the message that you need to agree with the staffers' religious beliefs to stay on their good side.
The sponsor of that bill, State Sen. Ryan Gatti, attempted to create a workaround to the claims of coercion. His bill said that the prayers would only be allowed if every parent or legal guardian of the students in attendance "submitted a signed request that the employee may participate in the gathering or pray with his child."
See? The adults could only pray with kids if they had permission slips from everyone!
Anyone who thinks about that for a few seconds would know that the problem is still present. Students would just be coerced to get that permission slip signed. If they didn't, they'd be accused of ruining prayers for everyone.
Here's the good news: When SB 512 went to the Louisiana State House, there were politicians who understood those concerns. Even Republicans!
Shreveport Rep. Alan Seabaugh says the old bill would have targeted religious minorities.
"Let's say you have 15 kids on a soccer team. 14 kids want the coach to lead them in prayer, one kid who's an atheist, a muslim, or somebody who doesn't. He is going to bullied, he's going to be coerced into signing the consent form".
The Shreveport Republican says the old version of the bill was obviously unconstitutional, and would have led to successful challenges by organizations like the ACLU.
"When they win your school district then has to pay their legal fees and costs, which is hundreds of thousands of dollars. And there is no doubt that they will win".
He's absolutely right about that. State Rep. Rick Edmonds, a Republican and Baptist minister, changed the entire bill to say that the teachers and coaches could only bow their heads "in deference and respect" during a student-led, student-initiated prayer. No joining them in prayer. No leading the prayer. Edmonds' amendment also eliminated the idiotic part about permission slips.
Essentially, his changes gutted the original bill. Which is exactly what needed to happen.
The amendment was adopted in the House on a 68-22 vote, the revised bill was passed unanimously, and it's now back in the Senate's hands.
***Update***: I spoke too soon. The State Senate rejected the amended bill 31-1. It will now go to a conference committee. So who knows what the hell is going on anymore.

I am a skeptic. I don't believe in fortune tellers or psychics. I certainly doubted that I could forsee the future. But, as I did the research for this article, I discovered that I was wrong. Everyone can see into the future and we do it all the time.
Ooop! That wasn't supposed to happen.
Our journey starts with an experiment conducted in 1976. Dr. Kornhuber asked a number of volunteers to be wired with EEG electrodes to measure their brain activity. He then asked the volunteers to flex the index finger of their right hand, suddenly and at various times of their own choosing. He wanted to measure how fast it took for the mental decision to move the finger to actually make the finger move. His results were not what he expected.
Kornhuber expected to find a sharp peak in electrical activity when the decision was consciously made, at which point he would begin timing the trials. However, what he found is remarkable, namely that there is a gradual build-up of recorded electric potential for a full second, or perhaps even up to a second and a half, before the finger is actually flexed. This seems to indicate that the conscious decision process takes over a second in order to act! Even more surprising was that the volunteers were not aware of this delay and believed they were acting spontaneously and instantly.
So what happened? Did the brain somehow "know" that the decision would be made in the future and begin planning the action?
The experiment received little attention until another experiment conducted by Dr. Libet in 1979 raised questions about our conscious perception of time and the idea of "now."
Everything "now" happened already!
Libet tested subjects who had to have brain surgery for some reason unconnected with the experiment and who consented to having electrodes placed at points in the brain, in the somatosensory cortex. He monitored the electrical activity while stimulating their skin. To his amazement it took about a half-second before the subjects were able to perceive the stimulation. Further experiments showed that this same delay - about a half second - was needed for all sensory input to reach consciousness.
The significance of this is enormous. Everything we know about the external world right now - the sounds, the sights, the feelings - are all being delayed. Everything that you think is happening right now actually happened already, about half a second ago!
So how is this possible? How do we drive cars, catch baseballs, swat flies and write or draw if it's all delayed? Well, the obvious answer is that we have adapted the ability to compensate for the delay by projecting our behavior into the future, which is really "now."
Confusing? Wait... it gets even better.
Five Seconds In The Future
Marilyn Schlitz connected volunteers to a series of monitors, similar to a lie detector, to measure their heartbeat, perspiration and other nervous activity. She then had them sit in front of a computer screen and began showing them a series of images which were selected at random by the computer from a large collection. These images were described as either "neutral" (boring) or "emotional" (erotic or morbid). As expected, the subjects showed physical and mental excitement when the "emotional" images were shown and showed less reaction to the "neutral" images. But as the experiment continued, something weird happened.
Researchers began to see that most people, unconsciously, began to react to the "emotional" images a full 5 seconds before they were selected by the computer program! What's more, they did not react to the "neutral" images. This result was statstically significant (p=0.00003) and has been repeated many times. It strongly suggests hat subjects can perceive the future.
Another study, described in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, was reported by psychophysiologist Rollin McCraty and his colleagues from the Institute of Heartmath in Boulder Creek, California. McCraty's group simultaneously measured skin conductance, heart rate, and brainwave activity before, during, and after 26 participants viewed emotional and calm pictures. They found that both the heart (p < 0. 001) and the brain (p < 0. 05) responded about 5 seconds before the future emotional stimuli, and to their amazement, that the heart responded before the brain. They also observed significant gender differences in the processing of this future information (women performed better, on average, than men). They concluded: "Our findings suggest that intuitive perception is not a discrete function produced by a single part or system of the body alone. Rather, it appears that intuition may in fact be a system-wide process involving at least the heart and brain, together, in the processing and decoding of intuitive information." They highlighted that "the fact that the heart is involved in the perception of a future external event is a surprising, even astounding result, especially from the classical perspective that assigns the brain an exclusive role [for perception]."
How do you feel?
Here are eight pictures, some neutral and some emotional. Before you view each image, try to sense how you feel. Is the picture neutral or emotional? This isn't a real test but it will give you an idea how the actual experiment worked and felt.
FUTURE GLOBAL CONSCIOUSNESS
Five seconds isn't a long time to see into the future. It doesn't allow you to pick tomorrow's lottery number or predict the headline. But there is strong evidence that this ability to see future events may extend for several hours.
Dr. Roger Jahn from Princeton University developed a small computer (the Random Event Generator or "black box") that generated random numbers. The numbers were converted to either "1" or "0" and were recorded over various time intervals. The device was similar to flipping a coin and resulted in an equal number of "1s" and "0s."
The pattern of ones and noughts - 'heads' and 'tails' as it were - could then be printed out as a graph. The laws of chance dictate that the generators should churn out equal numbers of ones and zeros - which would be represented by a nearly flat line on the graph. Any deviation from this equal number shows up as a gently rising curve.
During the late 1970s, Jahn decided to investigate whether the power of human thought alone could interfere in some way with the machine's usual readings. He hauled strangers off the street and asked them to concentrate their minds on his number generator. In effect, he was asking them to try to make it flip more heads than tails.
It was a preposterous idea at the time. The results, however, were stunning and have never been satisfactorily explained.
Dr Nelson, also working at Princeton University, then extended Prof Jahn's work by taking random number machines to group meditations, which were very popular in America at the time. Again, the results were eyepopping. The groups were collectively able to cause dramatic shifts in the patterns of numbers.
From then on, Dr Nelson was hooked.
Using the internet, he connected up 60 random event generators from all over the world to his laboratory computer in Princeton. These ran constantly, day in day out, generating millions of different pieces of data. Most of the time, the resulting graph on his computer looked more or less like a flat line.
But then on September 6, 1997, something quite extraordinary happened: the graph shot upwards, recording a sudden and massive shift in the number sequence as his machines around the world started reporting huge deviations from the norm. The day was of historic importance for another reason, too. It was the day when over one-billion people, from all around the globe, watched the funeral of the loved Diana, Princess of Wales at Westminister Abbey.
It seems that, without making a conscious effort to focus on the "black boxes," the collective psyché of humanity was able to change the random pattern. This amazing event prompted Nelson to install the "black boxes" in 41 different countries around the globe and wire them together over the internet so that the collective results could be instantly monitored. And this is when he noted something even more extraordinary.
Something happened just prior to 9-11-2001 also!
On September 11, 2001, the normally flat line of the boxes began to peak, warning of an event of terrible proportions a full 4 hours before the first plane hit the World Trade Center! Could the collective human mind have "known" what was going to happen?
According to the researchers:
"One way to think of these startling correlations is to accept the possibility that the instruments have captured the reaction of a global consciousness beginning to form. The network was built to do just that: to see whether we could gather evidence of a communal, shared mind in which we are participants even if we don't know it.
Groups of people, including the group that is the whole world, have a place in consciousness space, and under special circumstances "they," "°" or "we" become a new presence. Based on evidence that both individuals and groups manifest something we can tentatively call a consciousness field, we hypothesized that there could be a global consciousness capable of the same thing. Pursuing the speculation, it would seem that the new, integrated mind is just beginning to be active, paying attention only to events that inspire strong coherence of attention and feeling. Perhaps the best image is an infant slowly developing awareness, but already capable of strong emotions in response to the comfort of cuddling or to the discomfort of pain."
In the last weeks of December 2004 the various "black boxes" again went crazy, showing dramatic peaks while everything seemed peaceful and calm. Just 24 hours later, an earthquake deep beneath the Indian Ocean triggered the tsunami which devastated South-East Asia, and claimed the lives of an estimated quarter of a million people. Was this another example of "future shock?"
Several other historical "emotional" events have been recorded by this method and continue to suggest that the effect is real, yet still unexplained. The boxes are now monitored and studied by the Global Consciousness Project and the results and graphs for past and present are made available to the public at the website.
What's happening right now in the world?
What color is this dot?
[It's usually green or yellow. If it changes to orange or red... something bad is going to happen!]
The colored dot above shows the current status indicator for the Global Consciousness Project. It's linked to the Global Consciousness computer. It changes to different colors depending on the results of more than 68 "black boxes" or "eggs" (as they are now called) located all over the globe and sampled many times each second. The color coding represents the level of coherence or correlation among the eggs, which is reflected in the probability of the Chisquare. The expected level is about 50%, and big shifts in either direction are notable. The GCP's formal testing looks for increased interegg correlation, which is represented here by the warm colors, orange and red. That means something's disturbing the global consciousness... possibly indicating that something bad is about to happen!
* Blue starts to fade in at 90% and above.
* Green represents about 50%
* Yellow starts fading in from green at 40%.
* Orange fades in at 15% or so.
* Red is 5% which is regarded as "significant".
* Bright red is 1%, or odds of 1 in 100.
Since out nervous system is hard wired with a delay of about one half of a second, we have had to develop the ability to anticipate the future. This function is not only beneficial but vital to our survival. Hand-eye coordination and avoiding danger in the "real time" world demand that we have this ability. It is not surprising then that this ability should extend beyond a half-second, perhaps diminishing as it extends toward the future. It is also possible that this ability can be concentrated from a group or collection of human minds in way that we have not yet tested.
Spiritualists value collective prayer and meditation as an effective force to change nature or petition higher powers. Until now the ability to see the future has been considered mystical or paranormal. Now, with the recognition that this ability is innate to humanity, perhaps we can develop and refine it to make a better world and a more pleasing future for our species.
I thought this was just scifi writing until I checked it out on the web. I was curious why some reaction time games traditionally show that it takes just 0.2 seconds to click the mouse after being shown, for example, a red circle on the monitor. I learned that this type of reflex is not handled by consciousness but is more like a knee-jerk reflex. So it doesn't contradict your theory really, although it still confuses me a bit.
How can the eye "see" the red circle and then the brain send the message to click the mouse in like a quarter second? Or is it just that the conscious realisation takes half a second? I'm a bit puzzled. Anyone?
Rob's question was similar to mine. But then I remembered how the knee can jerk (as he pointed out) almost instantly when its hit with a hammer and that this happens involuntarily - without consciousness. I think its possible for the brain to make what we would call a "sub-routine" in programming so that a change in stimulus, like the eye, will trigger a response before this is conscious. We do it all the time when we drive a car and make small changes to steering ad direction without being conscious of it. But the conscious reality does seem to take half a second.
CrazyBill@--
CrazyBill is correct. We live most of out lives acting automatically to stimulus without being conscious of it. Maybe that's because we need to devote so much time and effort to projecting our thoughts in to the future.
Barb. Ms.
To answer those of you inquiring about differences between reflexex and controlled actions and their corresponding times of contraction, there is an explanation for part of it. With reflexive action, it takes only 0.2 seconds to occur because your brain is bypassed. Doesn't make sense does it? When the sensory areas of the body (eyes, ears, hands, etc.) perceive a stimulus that demands reflexive action, the signal is received by the SPINAL CORD, not the brain, and sent back as an action potential to the relevant moving part(s) of the body. This happens before the brain even acknowledges that something is happening. This is why a trained fighter can combat someone without ever truly thinking about what the other fighter is attempting to do him/her, but rather focuses almost entirely on what they are going to do to the other fighter. This pertains to driving, walking, and any other motor skill that we learn; this is believed to be an adaptation so that the mind can use its resources for more pressing matters.

The Woodlands area growth driving subdivision, multi-family and commercial expansion
New additions to keep pace with area growth are being made to the gated community of Harper's Preserve next to the Woodlands. "Harper's Preserve is expanding its home builder lineup with higher priced homes, more amenities, and the addition of multi-family and commercial convenience, all in response to the higher quality of life demanded by those families who desire to work, live and play near everything," says Sam Yager III, Executive Vice President of SYI which develops Harper's Preserve on behalf of 242, LLC, a partnership between Forestar and First Continental.
Harper's Preserve East Village -New Gated Home sites with Lots of Amenities
Three new sections in the private gated master planned community of Harper's Preserve should open in the second quarter of 2015. These new sections contain four new neighborhoods: Palmetto Place, Palmetto Park, Harper's Trails and Bayou Bend. The homes will be priced from the $290's to $600's.
Palmetto Place features 80' X 140' home sites by Drees Custom Homes with views of the new fly fishing lake (Lake Palmetto).
Palmetto Park features 75' X 130' lots from J. Patrick Homes and Ashton Woods with great access to Palmetto Lake Park and stunning views of Lake Palmetto.
Harper's Trail features 65' X 130' home sites by Highland Homes and Gehan Homes located adjacent to Stewards Park and the community trail system.
Bayou Bend is located adjacent to Horspen Bayou and the community trail system and consists of 55' X 125' home sites by Highland and Plantation Homes. Bayou Bend also has a section of patio homes next to Stewards Park by Chesmar Homes and Plantation Homes.
These new sections in East Village offer buyers a truly natural and peaceful atmosphere in a wooded landscape with lake and park view lots, a gated entrance and the new amenity features, Palmetto Lake Park and Stewards Park. Palmetto Lake Park is located lakeside with a proposed stocked fishing lake and pier, the Wild Life Garden, walking trails, a future picnic area and a centrally located playground. This community will have fly fishing opportunities at the zero entry pebble beach in the heart of the park. Stewards Park features include a playground, park pavilion and picnic area.
In addition to these features, home buyers in East Village share access to the existing amenities in Preserve Park located in West Village. Preserve Park has a community pool and pool barn, playground, walking trails, a bowling green, horseshoe pits, a bocce court, outdoor kitchen, fire pit and the climbing boulders at Lookout Hill. (See Harper's Preserve Amenities)
Harper's Preserve Multi-Family
"The Exxon Campus, the expansion of the Grand Parkway, the construction of Texas Children's Hospital Campus, the construction of Methodist Hospital Campus buildings and the Woodlands Town Center are driving the need for sophisticated, convenient, higher density housing alternatives with more amenities," said Sam Yager, III.
De Anda Allied Venture closed on 7.705 acres located adjacent to Harper's Preserve West Village on S.H. 242 and Harper's Way less than 1 mile east of I-45 and minutes from the Woodlands Town Center for a 216-unit garden style multifamily community. In addition, Worthing Companies has also purchased 15.4 acres located west of the entrance of Harper's Preserve East Village which is located just south of Harper's Trace and S.H. 242 for a 328-unit sophisticated multifamily community.
Harper's Retreat (216 units)
De Anda Allied Venture II, LLC is partnering with Allied Orion Group, a fully-integrated, multi-housing real estate investment and development firm which has successfully acquired or developed over 14,000 multi-family units with a total aggregate value of approximately $1.1 billion. Currently, they manage approximately 26,000 units in seven states as the second largest multi-housing manager in Houston and the 50th largest multi-housing manager in the U.S.
"We plan to develop 216 units of luxury gated multi-family housing consistent with the high standards evident in the Harper's Preserve community, and consistent with other housing we have developed in Houston area master planned communities such as Cinco Ranch, The Woodlands and Riverstone," said Charles Crane, Senior Vice President of Allied Orion Group.
Harper's Retreat, which began construction in December 2014, will be a 216-unit, three-story, multi-building, garden style apartment community. It will have one and two bedroom units ranging from 681 sf to 1163 sf. This community will also feature garages and covered parking. The internal multi-family amenities include a resort-style clubhouse and pool, fitness center, billiards lounge, Starbucks café, private dog park, pool side and landscaped courtyard grilling stations. (See Harper's Preserve West Village Illustrative Plan)
Heights at Harper's Preserve (328 units)
"We are very excited to be part of the new Harper's Preserve community and look forward to providing Montgomery County, Conroe and the Woodlands area with a unique, high quality product," said Michael McGwier, Executive Vice President of The Worthing Companies.
The Worthing Companies specializes in the development, construction and management of Class "A" institutional quality multifamily properties. Worthing is a vertically integrated company strategically focused on executing new development opportunities in select Sunbelt growth markets. With over 29 years of experience in the industry, Worthing has successfully developed over 30,000 units with costs in excess of $2.8 billion.

Yet again we are talking about chocolate, this time the raspberry kind. Light, delicate, pink and yummy - an ideal choice for glitzy Christmas parties.
Place all ingredients in a metal pot. Using a whisk, give the ingredients a good stir over the boiling water bath until mixture is completely homogenous.
When all ingredients have liquefied and the mixture is homogenous, remove it from the stove and set it aside to cool down, giving it an occasional stir so that a crust doesn't form on the surface.
When the mixture has cooled down sufficiently, pour into the cups (even a silicone ice cube tray will do ) or pur over baking paper.
Decorate depending on preference, using coconut chips, the lyophilized raspberries powder, pink leaves, blueberries, etc.

Q: Statistical uncertainty on an Poisson distributed value estimated using Poisson distributed variables Let's say I have the number of events in four regions in phase space. Where the regions are named: $A, B, C$, and $D$. These are Poisson distributed and not correlated with one another, and the number of events in each region is above $100$.
I can estimate the number of events in a blinded region E using the formula:
$$\text{estimated number of events in E} = \frac{A \cdot B \cdot C}{D^2},$$
where each letter represents the number of events in that region.
Then what is typically done, in my field of research, is to calculate the uncertainty on the estimated number of events in $E$, let's denote this $\widehat{E}$, as the propagated error from the calculation of $\widehat{E}$, plus the square root of $\widehat{E}$. Where the errors on, $A, B, C$, and $D$ are their square roots.
I.e. the uncertainty on $E$ is, without simplifying so that the reader can follow more easily:
$$\sqrt{\widehat{E}} + \widehat{E} \cdot \sqrt{\left(\frac{\sqrt{A}}{A}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{\sqrt{B}}{B}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{\sqrt{C}}{C}\right)^2 +\left(\frac{2\sqrt{D}/D}{D^2}\right)^2}.$$
Now, to the question!
$$\widehat{E} = 2.06,$$
i.e. the estimated value of $E$ is small and if the true value of $E$ is close to $\widehat{E}$ then the probability distribution is Poisson and will be skewed.  Also, I want to have that the true value falls into the uncertainty interval $68\%$ of the time. Therefore $\sqrt{\widehat{E}}$ does not suffice, it is symmetric and the true value would fall into the uncertainty interval more than $68\%$ of the time.
What would be a better solution to estimate the statistical uncertainty on $\widehat{E}$ when its value is small?

And now I will appeal to someone more authoritative then Dostoevsky or Dylan.
The Galilean prophet had been hauled before Pontius Pilate by the Sanhedrin. Caiaphas, the high priest, accused Jesus of claiming to be a king — a seditious act punishable by crucifixion. Jesus was now to be tried before the Roman governor. The trial was held in Pilate's praetorium. The marble-adorned palace, the governor's stately attire, the presence of the imperial seal all produced an atmosphere of authority and grandeur. Jesus was on trial before the Roman Empire. Which is to say Jesus was on trial before the world in all its glory. Jesus had refused that world during the wilderness temptation and now the spurned world was striking back.
Jesus tells the Roman governor that the purpose of his life is to bear witness to the truth. Jesus knows that the world as it's arranged (and most gloriously represented in the splendor and majesty of the Roman Empire) is built upon an enormous falsehood. Jesus then says that those who can feel the falseness will be inclined to listen to what he has to say. ("Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.") Jesus claims not only to be a king, but to possess the ultimate truth that exposes the lie that the world has become.
Pilate has answered his own question. What is truth? Truth is the power to kill. According to Pilate, the truth is that the world is run by those who have power. Military power. Economic power. Religious power. The world is run by people like Governor Pilate, King Herod, and the high priest, Caiaphas. And most of all the world is run by the Emperor. Caesar is Truth. Because it all comes down to power. Power trumps everything.
That's the falseness that prevails in society.
That's the deception of the material life.
But can't you feel the falseness of it all?
Don't you know it's all a lie?
Resist it! Don't tolerate it! Rise above it!
The meaning of life is not power, the meaning of life is love. God is not Nietzsche's totalized Will to Power; God is Love. It's not proximity to power that is the goal of life; the goal of life is love. When we see faith leaders fawning over proximity to political power, don't we feel the falseness of their faith? Don't we know they too are confessing, "we have no king but Caesar"?
I feel the falseness. And I'm determined to resist it, to struggle against it.
Jesus is the world's true king. Right now. Jesus is not going to be king some day, Jesus is King of Kings right now! He was crowned as king on the cross and God vindicated Christ as the world's true king by raising him from the dead. I believe this. I confess this. I seek to live this.
In the kingdom of the Prince of Peace we study war no more; we turn swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks; we turn tanks into tractors and missile silos into grain silos. Our task is not to turn the world into the battlefield; our task is to turn the world into a garden. Our goal is not Armageddon; our goal is New Jerusalem. We're marching to Zion; the beautiful city of God.
They can't feel the falseness. They are the falseness.
But if you can feel the falseness, that's good. It means you still have a heart for the truth. So if you feel the falseness, keep listening to the truth that Jesus speaks. Keep believing in the truth that Jesus is. Let Jesus lead you out of the falseness — the falseness of a world built around power. Follow Jesus into his kingdom of love.
The meaning of life is not power. That's the prevailing falsehood. The meaning of life is love. That's the eternal truth. Caesar is not the truth. Christ is the truth.
May we have courage to live the truth.
