Polidectes foi rei da cidade-Estado grega de Esparta de 830 a.C. até 800 a.C. ano da sua morte. Pertenceu à Dinastia Euripôntida.

Ele sucedeu a seu pai Êunomo, e foi sucedido por seu filho Carilau, ou por seu irmão Licurgo, que reinou até Carilau nascer, quando Licurgo se tornou regente. Durante o seu reino, assim como durante o reinado do seu pai, Esparta viveu em paz.

Polidectes era filho da primeira esposa de Êunomo, e Licurgo, seu irmão mais novo, era filho da segunda esposa de Êunomo, Dionassa. O poeta Simonides, porém, colocava Licurgo uma geração antes: Licurgo seria filho de Prítanis, o pai de Êunomo.

Polidectes herdou o reino em um tempo de falta de lei e confusão em Esparta; seu pai, ao tentar separar um distúrbio civil, foi esfaqueado até a morte com uma faca de açougueiro. Polidectes se tornou rei, mas morreu logo depois do seu pai.

Polidectes morreu quando sua esposa estava grávida, e foi sucedido por seu irmão mais novo Licurgo. Licurgo declarou que reinaria apenas até o nascimento do bebê, e, se ele fosse menino, ele seria o rei, e ele se tornaria guardião.

A esposa de Polidectes, porém, propôs a Licurgo eliminar o bebe, com a condição de que Licurgo se casaria com ela em seguida; Licurgo, que detestava a mulher, fingiu aceitar, mas pediu que ela não usasse drogas abortivas, para não causar mal à sua saúde, mas esperasse o nascimento da criança que ele mesmo se livraria dela. Licurgo deu ordens aos seus homens que, assim que nascesse o bebê, se ele fosse menina, fosse deixado com a mãe, mas, se fosse menino, fosse levado à sua presença. Quando o bebê foi-lhe entregue, durante uma refeição com os magistrados de Esparta, Licurgo ergueu o bebê, declarando "Um rei nasceu para vocês, homens de Esparta!" e chamou-o de "Carilau" (em grego: Χαρίλαος), significando "Alegria do Povo".

Licurgo, porém, foi alvo de inveja, especialmente dos amigos e parentes da rainha-mãe; Leônidas, irmão da rainha-mãe, disse que sabia que Licurgo se tornaria rei, semeando a suspeita de que, se alguma coisa acontecesse com o rei, Licurgo seria o responsável.

Temendo ser acusado de plotar contra o sobrinho, Licurgo fugiu para Creta, voltando quando Carilau já estava governando; neste momento ele trouxe as leis da nova constituição de Esparta.

Doctoral Degree
Sociology - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
The graduate program in the Department of Sociology at CU Boulder seeks to train creative and productive scholars and teachers. The department maintains a strong emphasis in the theories and methods of the discipline while specializing in the following areas:
Environment, Hazards and Disasters
Life Course, Aging and Youth
Social Psychology and Emotions
The department offers a PhD program focusing on teaching, researching and training in theory and methods. It does not, however, offer a separate MA program. More information about program specifics can be found in the Graduate Handbook.
Graduate students will meet with faculty advisors during their time at CU Boulder to foster social integration at the university as well as research interests. Financial support is given to students serving as teaching assistants (TAs). A teaching assistantship is a fulfilling position that allows students to further their understanding of a specific area of study while gaining knowledge in instructing at the university level.
Additionally, advanced graduate students are encouraged to teach their own courses as graduate part-time instructors (GPTIs). The department encourages graduate students to pursue opportunities for funded research wherever possible and supports the efforts of other university units in which students may seek financial support for their research, such as the Institute of Behavioral Science. Aside from teaching and research, CU Boulder offers a wide array of courses for graduate students taught by a diverse and well-regarded faculty.

I have never been too interested in politics. I generally try to stay out of political debates and heated discussions. This year is different.
It seems impossible to avoid stepping in the muck that has been slung recently. Instead of being bored by politicians, I am now stressed out to the point where I completely cut myself off from news at times to divert a panic attack.
As the hurt, hatred, and accusations fly, I feel an icy fear rise within me. Fear for our nation, for what lies ahead of us, and for my children's future.
Apparently, I am not alone. I have read several articles recently stating that many counselors and therapists are reporting a rising number of their clients having significant anxiety over the election. Some have even given it a name: Election Stress Disorder. Really? Has that ever been a thing in the history of politics?
In grappling with how to process and respond to current news events with a Jesus-follower heart and mind, I have come to the following conclusions. These four principles guide our Christian response to the current election and any resulting anxiety we may experience.
Voting is an important civic duty that we should not neglect, especially as Christians. Jesus said we are the salt and light of the earth. We are meant to preserve and illuminate according to God's truth. This is not the time to bury our heads in despair, stick a basket over our light and surrender to the godlessness of the age. Our voices are needed now more than ever. The Light shines brightest in the dark.
Contrary to some opinions I have heard lately, there is no one right way for a follower of Jesus to vote. God is not registered nor affiliated with any political party. He has not declared His endorsement for any candidate nor will He ever (Jn 2:24-25, NLT).
There are many godly Christians I respect who are choosing to vote in different ways or not at all. They have honorable reasons for doing so. Everyone must vote according to her own conscience. Even though we love and worship the same God, we may not all come up with the same answers, and we really need to learn to be okay with that.
God is infinitely more vast than any political system mortal man could contrive. Sorry folks, but God will never fit into the boxes we try so valiantly to stuff Him into. Nor will He wear any labels other than those He has defined for Himself; and "Republican" and "Democrat" are both noticeably absent from His list.
We must not lose sight of the fact that the power of our prayers extends far beyond the power of our votes.
Even though educating ourselves about our options and casting our vote is important, prayer for our nation and our leaders is essential. We will accomplish far more if we are united in our prayers than if we are divided by our opinions.
You reign over all the earth and you are the King above all other kings. You are higher than any authority or power that claims to be something in this world. We see so many current national and world events where our earthly kingdoms desperately need a touch from your heavenly kingdom. O God, transform our world into a place where You reign. Make our Earth more like your Heaven.
No matter which political candidate wins in November, we will know that God is still on His throne. He has not lost control nor abandoned us. Each side delights to describe how the sky will fall if the opposing candidate gets elected. But we have confidence that the sky won't fall until God tells it to (Rev 6:12-13).
God's kingdom is anywhere that He is ruling. If we are devoted to Him, He rules in our hearts no matter who our elected officials may be. The kingdom of God is present any place we are living out His will, freely expressing His love, and pouring out His grace by the bucketful.
No political party is able to prevent God's kingdom work in our hearts against our will. If goodness and righteousness fail to advance upon the earth, it is because we, God's people, have dropped the ball and failed to resist evil (James 4:7). It is not because a particular candidate did or did not get elected.
Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him.
They set up kings without my consent; they choose princes without my approval. With their silver and gold they make idols for themselves to their own destruction.
Clearly, God has power and authority to intervene in governments if it serves His purpose. He also allows us free will giving us the option to set up our own governments without consulting Him or securing His consent or direction.
So while God is sovereign over all, He doesn't necessarily condone all leaders by virtue of the fact that they are in power. God's kingdom always has been and always will be greater than any earthly kingdom.
Your kingdom is wherever you are in authority. A kingdom is the domain of the king. You are the One True King worthy of our allegiance. We choose to receive and reflect your love in opposition to Satan's rule on this earth. By doing so, we reclaim in your name the territory he has killed, stolen, and destroyed. Work in us and through us to bring forth your goodness and righteousness here on earth. Let us be active participants in your advancing Kingdom of Grace (Mt 11:12, NLT).
Hateful rhetoric accomplishes nothing. Grievously, our children can no longer watch our political process in action because our national discussion has degraded to such a despicable level. As parents, we are forced to cover their ears rather than educate them about American politics lest they are exposed to "locker-room talk" long before they are old enough to enter a locker room.
It is a very sad state of the union when I am more concerned about what inappropriate discourse my children will pick up from a potential future leader of the free world than I am from any other source they are currently exposed to.
What is to be our response to this moral descent? We cannot fight hate with hate. It is an ineffective and useless weapon. Hate can tear down, but it is powerless to build up. We must overcome evil with God's love and goodness.
We have no power over what others say, but we can guard our own mouths. As we discuss current events with others in person or online, let us vow to hold our speech to God's standards rather than the world's.
We have heard so much recently that does not benefit those who listen. Let's refuse to add our own voices to that dreadful cacophony. Let's stop shouting out what we're against and choose instead to stand for what we believe in action, in truth, and in love (1 Jn 3:18).
Dissolve our divisions, remove our self-imposed labels and overwhelm our differences with your love. Help us eliminate our judgment and strive for harmony. Let us be unified in loving you back with all we've got and loving each other as if our lives depend on it, because they really do. Let our speech give life, build others up, and reflect the love you have for all people. (1 Th 5:11) Teach us how to overcome evil with your goodness and remind us to pray for those we disagree with. Help us to respect all people as unique individuals created in your image no matter how badly the image they reflect is distorted. We have freely received grace from you. Help us to freely give it to others (Mt 10:8).
Current events have the potential to provoke great fear and alarm in us if we allow it. God's anecdote for our fear is His perfect love. God's love and power are greater than any fears that threaten to engulf us.
To give into fear is to surrender to the enemy. Instead, let us run boldly into God's arms where nothing can separate us from His love.
Jesus, I consider the wind and waves around me and I start to sink in fear. Help me focus on your loving gaze instead. Let me listen to your voice saying, "Do not fear. I am with you." I've heard so many lies recently; I don't even know what to believe anymore. I choose to believe you. You are Truth and you are Love. I want to soak up your perfect love into every crack of my soul so there is no longer any room for fear.
Prayer will always matter more than votes.
God's kingdom will always be greater than the nations.
Goodness will always overcome evil.
Love will always conquer fear.
God will never abdicate His throne.
We are ALL in desperate need of God's kingdom and The Only King of Kings, our Lord Jesus. We don't need to make America great again, we need to acknowledge that God always has been and always will be the greatest of all.
The world desperately needs us to demonstrate this truth by actively and deliberately loving people. Jesus said we would be identified with Him by how we love, not how we vote, or what policies we support or oppose (John 13:35).
Let us agree together to pray for our nation and her leaders more than we argue and debate the policies.
Surely this election perhaps more than any other in the history of America highlights the fact that our true hope is not contingent on any man or woman, but on God alone. America and any of her elected officials are impotent to redeem us. God alone is mighty to save and we must keep our eyes and our hearts ever fixed on Him.
Forgive us for looking to our leaders to rescue us or set the standard for us. You alone are mighty to save. You alone are pure. You alone are worthy of our worship and allegiance. All our hope is anchored firmly to you and you alone will not disappoint.
Lord, let your kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. So be it.
SO timely for me! I felt the anxiety trying to press on me from the time I rose this morning! Thanks for the inspiration! I needed this reminder.
Yes, I've had to battle it myself lately. I must deliberately turn away from the gloom and doom of the media and other highly opinionated people and face God instead. Gazing into His loving truth calms my spirit.
Beautiful post, sweet friend! You hit the nail on the head with this one. I do believe I have had some Election Stress Disorder. Also, I had the news on the other night and left the room. When I re-entered, I noticed that they were talking about some of the recent scandals with my children watching as they came out of bed needing something from me. I had to quickly find a remote and get it off. It's an interesting time here in America.
I did see a Revive thing that was happening across theaters. Kirk Cameron is organizing it and when I saw his commercial, his enthusiasm about this being an "exciting time to be a Christian" changed my perspective.
"Exciting time to be a Christian" is a bit of a paradigm shift for me too. I'll have to go check that out! I hope your lovely family is doing well and that your little guy is continuing to heal and grow stronger.
Thank you for the courage to write this insightful post! I'm not at all surprised that your 5th grade daughter's speech had more depth than many of our candidates. A little child shall lead them. It concerns me that our children are suffering anxiety over this election. Thanks for sharing that information.
Sara, I appreciate your encouragement. I was apprehensive about publishing this because I usually prefer to avoid discussing politics at all. This is definitely outside my comfort zone. There comes a point where one can no longer be silent.
This is just so good. It's exactly how I feel about it all. We are citizens of Heaven yet need to be responsible to do our part here on earth! Thank you for this well thought out post.
Yes! We can't abdicate one responsibility for the other yet it can be so challenging to balance both. That's why we are dependent on God's wisdom to lead us.
Amen! I think we also need to seriously consider how abdicating our parenting to the teachers named TV and Video Games has seriously messed with the morals of our children. We've raised a generation (or two) of blind followers instead of critical thinkers. Parenting done right is hard work with no vacation.
Anita, I agree that there is obviously a severe shortage of critical thinking in America today. It is shocking and sad that this is the best leadership we are able to put forward today. What a far cry from the wisdom, courage, and character of our founding fathers and mothers.

A dozen of the U.S. Air Force's most sophisticated stealth fighter aircraft are now on Okinawa, beginning a three-month deployment "to underscore the U.S. commitment to Japan as a vital regional partner.
The F-22 Raptors arrived at Kadena Air Base this past week from Langley Air Force Base, Virginia. The twelve aircraft and about 250 support personnel will spend the deployment in training exercises with American and Japanese Air Self Defense Forces.

Local residents and mayors of towns and villages surrounding Kadena Air Base are complaining the aircraft will bring more noise and disrupt local life. Kadena Town's mayor was not happy "the F-22's came flying in without listening to resident opinions," but then said he "hoped the training will be done in a minimal way, without making any accidents." Chatan and Okinawa City officials have also voiced displeasure at the F-22 deployment.

The Legacy of the King of the Peeps, the First Person to Introduce Peepshows to Gritty Old Times Square
Robert Brenner
We recently announced the latest addition to our tours, which will explore the remnants of Gritty OId Times Square of the 1970's. Back then, the neighborhood was an exciting, dangerous and racially and sexually diverse place, frequented by both locals and tourists. Today, most of Times Square has been carefully obliterated by generic hotels, soulless office buildings, and Walt Disney musicals, but there are still a few vestiges of its seedy past—if you know where to look.
Buy tickets to an upcoming tour of the Remnants of Gritty Old Times Square here:
Gritty Old Times Square
So let us take you back to the halcyon days when 42nd Street was the Deuce, Eighth Avenue was the Minnesota Strip, the Great White Way was a red light district, and the Crossroads of the World was XXX-rated. This tour is led by Robert Brenner, a native New Yorker and licensed New York City tour guide. Brenner, who squandered his misspent youth in the fleshpots of Times Square, witnessed firsthand the demimonde in all their sordid glory. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he lived to tell the tale—and is unashamed. Here, he highlights the legacy of one person who helped to change the landscape of the neighborhood:
His name was Martin "Marty" Hodas. He was known as the King of the Peeps, who transformed Times Square by building a porno empire and becoming a multimillionaire in the process.
While Hodas didn't invent peepshow machines – they've been around since the time of Thomas Edison – he was the first one to introduce them to Times Square in 1996. For years, the Mayor's Office had maintained that you needed a movie theater license to operate a peepshow. Hodas successfully challenged that legal assumption and installed his first machine at Carpel Books, an adult bookstore located at 259 W. 42nd St.; today, it's a Chevys Fresh Mex.
After a week, the owner of the bookstore called Hodas and told him his machine was broken. When Hodas examined the machine, he saw it was so stuffed full of quarters that the mechanism had jammed. He knew then that he had a hit on his hands.
Hodas, who ran his porno empire out of an office located at 113 W. 42nd St. – presently, an anonymous office tower – set up dozens of peepshow machines throughout Times Square. He hired gorillas to haul all of his quarters in locked steamer trunks to a Chemical Bank branch (what is now Duane Reade) on the northwest corner of 8th Ave. and 42nd St. to deposit. At its peak, an amazing 85% of all quarters deposited at that branch came from Hodas' machine. He also expanded into other ventures: massage parlors, topless bars, live model photography, and eventually started his own movie studio to produce "loops" for his peepshows somewhere on W. 14th St. — the exact location of which is a closely guarded secret. If landlords objected to his businesses, he simply bought the buildings.
Unlike most pornographers, Hodas wasn't publicity shy. He gave interviews to the press, and was always good for a quote on "the smut biz." He also wrote aggrieved letters to the New York Times—which the Times published—claiming he was an honest businessman just giving the public what it wanted.
With his empire on the rise, Hodas eventually became known as "the King of the Peeps." He grew so big that he attracted the attention of the Feds, and in 1975, he was convicted of income tax evasion after underreporting his quarters. He went on to serve a year in prison, but when he got out, he sold off his holdings and retired, having had enough of the "smut biz."
Despite his fame and influence on Time Square, however, Hodas died quietly in 2014. In fact, there was no obituary in the New York Times, or an analysis of his impact on the neighborhood – only a modest posting in his local newspaper.

Khanith (also spelled Khaneeth or Xanith; ) denotes a person assigned male at birth who uses feminine gender expression, including trans women, men who have sex with men, cisgender or Boudi men perceived as feminine. It is generally considered derogatory and misleading, but some individuals have sought to reclaim it as a mark of pride.

The term is used in Oman and parts of the Arabian Peninsula and is closely related to "mukhannathun" , meaning "effeminate".

781 Fifth Avenue #18THFLOOR New York, NY, United States 10022
Area Detailed Information
At the southwest corner of the Sherry Netherland sits one of the most important apartments ever created in New York City. Central Park views from five public rooms as well as dazzling views to the south from four additional rooms make every moment living on the 18th floor of the Sherry Netherland a memorable experience. As one enters this palatial residence, attended elevators open to a private landing where an entrance with sparkling mosaic floor leads to the home's principal entertaining spaces, which offer 95 feet or frontage on Fifth Avenue and embrace the planted west terrace overlooking Central Park. The library has been tastefully lined with custom paneling and a perfectly appointed bar. To the east of the library, one is led to a comfortably outfitted media room and a guest bedroom, cleverly concealed behind a paneled door. Each of these rooms are equipped with their own en-suite bathrooms. To the north of the library, the grand living room opens to the north, west and south for indomitable Central Park views. From the living room, one can enter the truly stunning 59'7" long west-facing terrace, all of which directly overlooks the park. Along this magical terrace are three more rooms, each fulfilling its own purpose in this carefully designed residence. The solarium, just past a perfectly shaped dining room of square proportions, could well be considered the key stone, connecting the south and west facing wings of the apartment. It gives access to both the west-facing terrace and to the equally impressive, 84'9" long, south-facing terrace from which the city lights are truly a majestic sight at night. Both terraces are landscaped and equipped with irrigation systems. The master bedroom of 480 ft2 couples with its own beautifully appointment dressing room, his and hers baths, and is additionally complimented by the terrace. A massive eat-in kitchen, with its beautiful southern light and views, cannot be replicated in New York City. With Central Park below, views of the Empire State Building to the south and the skyline views of Central Park South and Central Park West, the world is your oyster. This iconic residence at the Sherry Netherland, with its 15 rooms, 7 bedrooms with en-suite baths, and 2000 sq.ft. of terraces comprises the entire 18th floor of this legendary early 20th century skyscraper. Every entertaining space enjoys Central Park views, and nearly all rooms overlook or access one of three planted terraces. One can announce from somewhere on another continent that a dinner party must be arranged for that very evening and Harry Cipriani will deliver and serve the meal upon request. Twice a day maid service and impeccable maintenance of the apartment make it a care-free luxury residence at the power corner of the world.

I am hoping that the inclusion of a best series option will bring Hugo's to series like "The Wheel of Time", "Mistborn", "Dresden Files", etc... TWOT is effectively my foundation or anchor into SF&F fandom. TWOT was so popular among fans that Usenet basically had to split off the fandom for Robert Jordan into a new newsgroup because the volume of topics regarding TWOT was overwhelming the rec.arts.sf.written group. They have sold 80+ million books worldwide. The comparable for the discussion about Jon Snow's parents is "Who Killed Asmodean?" from TWOT, which perplexed fans for over a decade of crazy theories. Despite all of this, none of the individual books were ever in the finals for a Best Novel Hugo. Even last year if you took off the puppy picks the Companion book would not have even qualified for related work.
I am hopeful that something like a Series award will give a place for works like this to be awarded and look forward to what happens this year.


I decided to redo my old and ugly wordpress website using blogdown and Hugo. Thanks to the great theme for academics by George Cushen and the blogdown book by Yihui Xie, Amber Thomas and Alison Presmanes Hill, it was a breeze. In a few hours, I have a better looking website than I thought possible, without having to do too much fiddling. Once more, I am amazed by what can be achieved thanks to the open source software community.

Norwalk Bookkeeper Penni Parker Sentenced to Prison for Fraud and Tax Offenses
(STL.News) – John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that PENNI SHERMAN, also known as Penni Parker, 53, of Norwalk, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Michael P. Shea in Hartford to eight months of imprisonment, followed by two years of supervised release, for fraud and tax offenses stemming from an embezzlement scheme. Judge Shea ordered Sherman to spend the first two months of supervised release in home confinement.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Sherman operated PSP Accounting & Bookkeeping, and provided bookkeeping services to area businesses. Between 2011 and 2018, Sherman stole a total of $418,197.09, from clients and used the funds to pay her own credit card bills and to cover other personal expenses, including salon services.
Sherman stole more than $396,000 from one of her clients who owned a small business. When confronted about the embezzlement, Sherman returned $165,920 to the victim business owner.
Sherman failed to report the embezzled funds, and certain other business receipts, on her federal income tax returns, resulting in a loss of $125,167 to the Internal Revenue Service.
On October 11, 2019, Sherman pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of making and subscribing a false tax return.
Judge Shea ordered Sherman to pay restitution of $252,277.09 to the victims of her fraud, and $125,167 in back taxes, plus applicable interest and penalties, to the IRS.
Sherman, who has been released on bond, is required to report to prison on August 13, 2021.

A doting dad is running the London marathon to raise awareness of Cystic Fibrosis – which affects his son, Finley, a Millwall super-fan aged eight.
Wayne Shoults, 34, who was born and raised in Walworth will be undertaking the gruelling run on behalf of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust in April which funds research into the condition.
The condition causes the body to produce thick mucus negatively affecting sufferers' lungs, digestive system and liver.
Finley was diagnosed with CF at three weeks old, which Wayne and mum Danielle, 34, say was a massive shock to the family.
Finley's condition has motivated him to run marathons to fund-raise for the CF trust, he says.
He is hoping to raise £4,000 to match what he has achieved in previous years.
Despite having to take forty tablets a day and doing two daily physio sessions to dislodge mucus from his lungs, little Finley doesn't let Cystic Fibrosis get in the way of doing what he wants to do.
The Millwall supporter – whose favourite player is Jed Wallace – travels all around the country to see the Lions play, is the captain of his football team, and has even appeared in a TV advert.
"From looking at Finley you wouldn't know he's got this condition," said dad Wayne, who met wife Danielle at high school in Walworth.
The family, who moved out of the borough to Welling around five years ago, say they feel CF is a "forgotten illness" which doesn't get the attention or funding it deserves.
Medicines which could help improve lung function for people with CF are not funded by the NHS because they're too expensive added Wayne.
The charity Wayne is fundraising for also relies on donations to fund research into a possible cure for the illness. He has so far raised over £400.

Den russisk-svenske krig 1495-1497 var et resultat af en alliance mellem storfyrst Ivan 3. af Moskva og Hans af Danmark om at føre krig mod Sture-familien i Sverige i et dansk håb om at genvinde den svenske trone. Det menes, at Hans lovede at indrømme visse strækninger af finsk land til den moskovitiske storfyrste, selv om han ikke opfyldte aftalen efter, at han var blevet kronet til konge af Sverige ved afslutningen af krigen.

I henhold til aftalen sendte Ivan 3. fyrsterne Daniil Shchenya og Vasily Shuisky at belejre den svenske fæstning Vyborg. Belejringen varede i tre måneder og endte, da slotsherren satte sit forråd af krudt i brand og således "skræmte muskovitterne fra vid og sans", som de svenske optegnelser beskrev det. Året efter hærgede de russiske generaler Vasily Kosoy og Andrey Chelyadnin alvorligt svensk Finland så langt som til Hämeenlinna (Tavastehus). En anden styrke sejlede langs kysten og tvang finnerne til underkastelse.

Sten Sture den Ældre, som dengang var i Turku (Åbo), blev rasende over nyheden om moskovitiske ekspedition og sendt Svante Nilsson med 2.000 mænd til at indtage Ivangorod - en ny fæstning, som Ivan 3. havde bygget for at beskytte russisk Ingermanland mod Den Liviske Orden. Fæstningen blev taget uden problemer, men - efter som det var åbenlyst umuligt at forsvare den i en længere periode - foreslog Svante Nilsson at overdrage den til ordensridderne, et tilbud, som de afslog. Derpå satte svenskerne fæstningen i brand og sejlede hjem.

Efter, at den svenske trone blev indtaget af Hans af Danmark, blev fjendtlighederne suspenderet indtil 1508, da Sverige og Moskva ratificerede en fredsaftale for 60 år. Selv om krigen ingen håndgribelige resultater gav til nogen af de krigsførende, bekræftede begge lande fredsaftalen i 1513 og 1524.

Eksplosionen

Mindet om den enorme eksplosion i Vyborg Slot den 30. november 1495 overlevede i finsk og russisk, folklore. Sandsynligvis nogle af de senere historier en senere tids opfindelser. Et samtidigt populært digt fortæller historien om denne eksplosion.

Forsvaret af Vyborg blev ledet af slotsherren Knut Posse. De moskovitiske angribere var lige ved at erobre byen. Ifølge overleveringen havde Knut Posse forårsaget eksplosionen med en slags eksploderende blanding. Andre historier hævder, at fænomenet var en figur vist mod himlen og afbildede for eksempel det X-formede Sankt Andreas kors.

Der er forskellige meninger om de reelle begivenheder. Der var kun et par tusinde soldater på den svenske side, og forsvarere forsøgte at rekruttere bønder for at øge forsvarernes antal. De første moskovitiske angreb blev vellykket afværgede, men i slutningen af november angreb  muskovitterne med alle deres styrker. Kampen syntes tabt. Det var lykkedes angriberne at nå toppen af Vyborg bymur, og flere tårne var i deres besiddelse. Efter dette, skete der noget, som forårsagede moskovitterne til at trække sig tilbage.

En historie fortæller, at Knut havde en krudtforråd eller tjæretønder under ét tårn, som han detonerede. De moskovitter, der var i live efter eksplosionen, kunne ikke have vidst hvad, der skete, og flygtede i stor frygt. En anden historie fortæller, at moskovitterne flygtede, fordi de blev bange for en lysfænomen på himlen. Den 30. november er festen for Sankt Andreas og de mente, at helgenen havde beskyttet byen, hvilket fik dem til at stoppe angrebet.

The legislation was introduced by Senator Christopher Connors, Assemblyman Brian Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove at the request of a constituent, who is a disabled veteran.
The 9th District Delegation issued the following statement regarding the Senate's passage of their veterans-related initiative, S-1703:
"Exempting disabled veterans from paying for beach buggy permits is a small, yet meaningful gesture of appreciation to these brave individuals in recognition of their service and sacrifice for our nation.
Legislation sponsored by Senator Robert Singer and Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean expanding Code Blue protections to help local officials better care for the homeless during winter weather events has passed the State Senate.

Currently, a Code Blue is triggered when temperatures drop to 32 degrees with precipitation, or 25 degrees with no precipitation. The bill advanced by the Senate, S-3422, would eliminate the 25 degree standard, so that a Code Blue would be triggered as soon as the temperature falls to 32 degrees, regardless of whether or not there is precipitation at the time.
Connors, Rumpf & Gove Praise Legislative Passage of Superstorm Sandy Foreclosure Assistance Bill
Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove today praised the final passage of legislation they sponsor to extend the mortgage forbearance and foreclosure assistance program for Superstorm Sandy victims.

The deadline for reauthorization was set for July 1, which meant that without legislative action, the program would have expired. As the deadline drew near, Connors, Rumpf and Gove wrote a letter urging Legislative leaders to immediately post A-5096 and S-3582 for a vote, stressing the urgent need to ensure that Superstorm Sandy victims would continue receiving this critical form of assistance. The Senate passed the Senate version of their bill, S-3582, on June 20. The identical Assembly version of the bill passed the Assembly on March 25.
The Delegation has worked in conjunction with representatives of the New Jersey Organizing Project (NJOP) to advocate for this legislation, as well as a number of other efforts to aid Superstorm Sandy victims.
"As representatives of an area that was among the hardest hit by Sandy, we continue to work closely with constituents who are still coping with the catastrophic damage caused by the storm. Therefore, we completely understand how critical the mortgage forbearance and foreclosure assistance program is to Sandy victims, as well as to the overall rebuilding and recovery process.
Pennacchio's Anti-Bullying Measure, Mallory's Law, Passes Senate
Comprehensive legislation sponsored by Senator Joe Pennacchio (R-Essex, Morris, Passaic) and Senator Patrick Diegnan (D-Middlesex) to strengthen New Jersey's anti-bullying laws has passed the New Jersey Senate. The bill is named in honor of Mallory Grossman, a twelve-year-old Rockaway resident who committed suicide in 2017 after being bullied.
Sen. Joe Pennacchio's "Mallory's Law" to toughen NJ's anti-bullying laws has passed the Senate. Pictured: the Senate honors Mallory's Army on Dec. 18, 2017 for its fight against bullying. (SenateNJ.com)
"Incidents of bullying should not be solely handled by the schools – the problem is much larger than that," said Pennacchio. "Parents must be engaged in the process as well. This legislation standardizes the reporting process while increasing transparency and accountability at every level. There is no doubt that Mallory's Law will go a long way to combating bullying in every school in New Jersey."
Senate Passes Oroho's Update to 'Criminal Injuries Compensation Act of 1971'
Legislation modernizes 1971 law in order to better support crime victims and surviving loved ones
The New Jersey Senate has passed legislation sponsored by Senator Steven Oroho (R-24) to update the "Criminal Injuries Compensation Act of 1971," in order to ensure that crime victims or their surviving loved ones receive the compensation and support they deserve.

The 1971 law created an agency designed to award funds to victims to help them recover. As a result, the right to receive compensation became the first right legally provided to crime victims in New Jersey. The compensation is intended to cover costs such as counseling, funeral expenses, attorney fees, medical bills, and ongoing costs for rehabbing a catastrophic injury.
A 2018 investigation conducted by NJ Advance Media found that the agency is failing to meet the needs of those whose lives are forever changed by violence. For example, crime victims often struggle to cope with delayed responses to their claim applications. Some victims reported that the funding they received was not sufficient to meet their needs, and many were not even aware that help from the state is available. The maximum amount a crime victim can receive in compensation has not been updated in nearly 20 years.
Oroho Statement on State Budget Bill
Senator Steven V. Oroho (R-Sussex, Warren, Morris), Senate Republican Budget Officer, issued the following statement in response to the State Legislature passing the State Budget Bill today:
Statement from Senate Republican Budget Officer Steven Oroho on the State budget. (SenateNJ.com)
"A State Budget without tax increases is important for our economic brand and a win for taxpayers. Republicans have advocated against the tax hikes as Governor Murphy proposed in his budget document and we appreciate the Legislative Leadership for stripping them out of the Budget Bill as passed today. I would hope we continue with such fiscal restraint and start taking legislative action immediately on the Path To Progress recommendations to help systematically control government costs.
Health Committee Approves O'Scanlon Measure to Address Shortage of Advanced Life Support Units
Bill Would Boost Availability of Paramedics and Modernize Care
Legislation sponsored by Senator Declan O'Scanlon that would help address an acute shortage of Advanced Life Support (ALS) units statewide has been approved by the Senate Health, Human Services & Senior Citizens Committee.

"We need to update the decades-old rules that prohibit us from utilizing our paramedic safety net in the most efficient way possible," said O'Scanlon (R-Monmouth). "We've spent years examining the best practices from other states in consultation with our first responders to develop a modern plan to improve emergency medical care and response in our communities. We have developed a plan that will put more units into service, while maintaining the quality of care, and creating career advancement opportunities for paramedics and other medical first responders."
Singer Bill to Help Battle Opioid Overdose Epidemic Passes Health Committee
Legislation sponsored by Senator Robert Singer that would help local officials to better understand and prevent the circumstances that lead to fatal drug overdoses has been approved by the Senate Health, Human Services & Senior Citizens Committee.

"The opioid epidemic is like nothing we've ever seen, and we continue to lose lives to overdose at a sickening pace," said Singer (R-Monmouth, Ocean). "We've learned that there is no simple fix that will stop this. We need to bring together experts from many fields to develop a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to both deter and treat drug abuse before it's too late."
Corrado Bill to Boost Investment in NJ's Innovation Economy Advances
Legislation sponsored by Senator Kristin Corrado that would boost investment in emerging technology start-ups in New Jersey was advanced by the Senate Economic Growth and Senate Budget & Appropriations committees today.

"New Jersey has one of the most highly educated workforces in the nation," said Corrado (R-40). "What we're missing is a tax environment that encourages investors to put that talent to work in new tech businesses right here in the Garden State. This legislation helps fix that. I want to thank Assemblyman DePhillips for taking the lead on this important effort."

The 3 Types of Rattlesnakes in Alabama! (ID Guide)
Believe it or not, you can find THREE types of rattlesnakes in Alabama!
But please don't live in fear, thinking that you are going to be bitten. In general, rattlesnakes try to avoid any contact or interaction with people. The whole reason they have a rattle is to warn you to stay away! As long as you leave them alone, you shouldn't have any trouble.
*If you come across any of these species, PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB! Rattlesnakes are dangerous animals and should be left alone. The more you agitate them, the more likely you could get bitten. DO NOT RELY ON THIS ARTICLE to correctly identify a rattlesnake that has recently bitten you. If you have recently been bitten, GO DIRECTLY to the nearest hospital to get help and determine if the snake is venomous.*
RELATED: The 50 Types of SNAKES Found Alabama! (ID Guide)
RELATED: Look for these 26 COMMON SPIDERS in Alabama!
#1. Timber Rattlesnake
Crotalus horridus
Adults typically range from 30 to 60 inches in length.
Coloration is variable and generally ranges from yellowish-brown to gray to almost black. Look for dark brown or black crossbands on their back.
Heavy-bodied with a characteristic rattle on the tail.
The Timber Rattlesnake, also known as the Canebrake Rattlesnake, can be found in a wide variety of habitats in Alabama. Look for them in lowland thickets, high areas around rivers and flood plains, agricultural areas, deciduous forests, and coniferous forests.

These rattlesnakes are ambush predators, waiting for unsuspecting prey to come within range of their strike. They feed primarily on small mammals but may also consume frogs, birds, and other smaller snakes. Timber Rattlesnakes strike their prey and release them, waiting until the venom has taken effect before eating them.
Due to their large size, long fangs, and high venom yield, these rattlesnakes are potentially the most dangerous snake found in North America. Luckily, Timber Rattlenskaes have a mild disposition and don't often bite. They also typically give plenty of warning by rattling and posturing.
The Timber Rattlesnake has played an interesting role in U.S. history. As it can be found in the area of the original 13 Colonies, it was used as a symbol during the American Revolution. In 1775 it was featured at the center of the "Gadsden Flag." This yellow flag depicts a coiled and ready-to-strike Timber Rattlesnake and the words "Don't Tread on Me."
#2. Eastern Diamond-backed Rattlesnake
Crotalus adamanteus
Adults typically range from 3 to 6 feet long!
Coloration is a mixture of browns, yellows, grays, or olive. Look for the distinctive diamonds that run down their back.
A black band covers the eyes, which have vertical, cat-like pupils. A pit between the eye and nostril is present on each side, and adults have their distinctive rattle.
This species is the longest, heaviest rattlesnake in Alabama!
Some impressive individuals have even grown up to 8 feet long. Eastern Diamond-backed Rattlesnakes prefer relatively dry habitats, including pine forests, palmetto flatwoods, mixed woodlands, and scrublands. However, they can also be spotted around the borders of wetlands and in wet prairies and savannas. The best time to look for these rattlesnakes is during the morning and evening, as this is when they are most active.
Eastern Diamond-backed Rattlesnake Range Map
These impressive rattlesnakes can strike as far as two-thirds of their body length, meaning a six-foot individual can reach prey four feet away! When attacking, they inject venom into their prey, which includes mice, rabbits, and squirrels. Once their victim is bitten, they release it and track it to the place it has died to consume.
As you may have guessed, Eastern Diamond-backed Rattlesnakes typically issue a warning with their rattle when threatened. If you hear this sound, make sure to back away and move along, or you risk being bitten.
Interestingly, young snakes don't have a rattle as it grows as they mature. Each time an individual sheds their skin, a new section is added (though sections commonly break off).
#3. Pygmy Rattlesnake
Sistrurus miliarius
Adults are small and range from 12 – 18 inches in length.
Coloration varies, as there are three subspecies of Pygmy Rattlesnake.
Thick body, dark bands that run from the corners of the eyes to the jaw, a small rattle prone to breaking, and elliptical pupils.
This species is the smallest rattlesnake found in Alabama!
Pygmy Rattlesnakes occupy a wide variety of habitats. Typically, they can be found in pine forests, dry upland forests, floodplains, sandhills, and near lakes, rivers, and marshes. In addition, they are often encountered in urban areas and may be seen in gardens and brush piles.
Pygmy Rattlesnake Range Map
These rattlesnakes are rarely seen because they are so small and well camouflaged. When they are found, they typically remain silent and motionless and rely on blending into their environment.
It's rare to hear them rattle. When they do, it sounds more like a faint insect and can be hard to hear unless you're within a few feet of one.
Due to the Pygmy Rattlesnake's small size, a bite typically isn't fatal to healthy adults and is considered less severe than the bite of most other rattlesnakes. But make no mistake, these snakes' cytotoxic venom can cause pain and necrosis for a few days.
Do you need additional help identifying a rattlesnake?
I recommend purchasing a Peterson Field Guide to the Reptiles and Amphibians of North America. These books have lots of helpful information, including pictures and range maps.

Remembering Giants LB Sam Huff; Lights Out in Oregon
By Ed McNamara
On the night before Halloween in 1960, CBS aired a scary documentary. "The Violent World of Sam Huff" showed the Giants' All-Pro linebacker going about his brutal business in the NFL.
His father and two of Huff's brothers worked in the mines of their native West Virginia. Sam's job was in football's trenches, where talent and relentless drive took him to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Huff, 87, died Nov. 13 of natural causes, his family lawyer Deborah Matthews told The Associated Press. He was diagnosed with dementia in 2013.

"Sam was one of the greatest Giants of all time," Giants president and CEO John Mara said. "He was the heart and soul of our defense in his era. He almost single-handedly influenced the first chants of 'Defense! Defense!' in Yankee Stadium."
Huff also left his mark in racing, as a breeder of thoroughbreds and the co-creator of the West Virginia Breeders Classic.
Athletic ability helped a poor kid from the hills of Appalachia become a national celebrity, and Huff built on it after his 13-season NFL career ended in 1969. In 28 years with the Marriott Corporation, he rose from salesman to vice president. He did color commentary on Giants games for three seasons before a long stint with his second NFL team, the Washington Redskins (now The Washington Football Team), until leaving broadcasting in 2012.
Huff had a passion for racing and was a frequent visitor to Churchill Downs' press box during Kentucky Derby week. He was friendly, accessible and didn't look nearly as big as he did when tackling all-time great Jim Brown back in the Fifties and Sixties.
Huff began breeding thoroughbreds in 1986 at Sporting Life Farm in Middleburg, Virginia, and Bursting Forth was a multiple graded-stakes winner for him and trainer Graham Motion. She won 10 of 28 starts and earned $524,474. Among her biggest victories were Monmouth Park's Grade 3 Matchmaker (1998) and Keeneland's Grade 3 Bewitched (1999).
In 1987 Huff helped launch the West Virginia Breeders Classic at Charles Town Races. The 35th running of the $300,000 Classic on Oct. 9 topped a nine-stakes, $1 million card for state-breds. Against all odds, the Depression Era boy became a mover and shaker in the Sport of Kings.
Charles Town saluted Huff Saturday on social media:
"Most knew Sam Huff as an NFL Hall of Famer. We knew him as an advocate of horse racing and co-founder of the Classic. He will forever be woven into the fabric of West Virginia racing."
Danger in the dark
It was the last race of the last night of the fall meet at , a little track in southern Oregon. The Nov. 9 finale wasn't grand, however. It was bizarre and terrifying.
About 10 seconds after the field of six left the gate at 10:28, everyone was in the dark. Here's race caller Jason Beem: "The lights just went off. Somebody just turned the lights off. I've got no clue what's going on and hopefully everybody is staying safe out there, because we can't see a thing.
There could have been a disastrous pileup, but fortunately nothing horrible happened. Lead Actress and Don't Rub It lost their riders, and Patrick Henry, Jr. (broken rib) and Alex Anaya (broken toe) suffered minor injuries, but none of the six horses was hurt.
Standard Time began two days earlier, leading to speculation that the lights had been programmed to switch off shortly before 11:30 p.m. Daylight Savings Time and had not been adjusted. Tag Wotherspoon, Grants Pass Downs' marketing and communications director since 2007, told usracing.com that wasn't the case.
"That was just speculation, and we can't confirm that in any way," he said. "I think it's safe to say two things. It didn't have anything to do with Daylight Savings Time, and nobody physically turned off the lights. We're just very thankful it didn't turn out worse than it did."
As for why it occurred, we're being kept in the dark.
Track president Randy Evers told usracing.com: "We've identified the problem, but I'm not going to say what it was. I don't think that would help the situation. We've contacted the Oregon Racing Commission. We have a clear solution in place, and it won't happen again."

WTF!: Man Gets The First Ever PENIS REDUCTION…"It Looks Like A Football"
By: Bijou Star
Umm well this is a first. I've never heard of a man wanting to have a smaller package but clearly this situation was one of a kind.
Follow @BijouGlamStarFollow @HipHopDetroit
A Florida teenager has successfully undergone the world's first penis reduction surgery, doctors at the University of South Florida claim.
The unidentified 17-year-old's "massive" penis was "too large for intercourse," according to a report published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
Shaped like a football, it was almost 7 inches long and had a circumference of 10 inches when it was soft.
"It sounds like a man's dream — a tremendously inflated phallus — but unfortunately, although it was a generous length, its girth was just massive, especially around the middle," Dr. Rafael Carrion, the urologist who treated the teen, told the Daily Mail.
The well-endowed patient, who "reported inability to penetrate his partner," had asked for the operation after the shape of his penis also restricted his ability to play competitive sports, the study says.
"There comes a time in every urologist's career that a patient makes a request so rare and impossible to comprehend that all training breaks down and leaves the physician speechless," Carrion reportedly said. Since he was 10, the teen, who has a history of sickle cell disease, had three episodes of priapism — a medical condition in which the penis stays erect for hours — that "progressively" led to his penis deformity, surgeons said in the report.
Doctors were able to make it symmetrical.
The average length and circumference of a penis is about 5 and 3 inches, respectively, according to the study.

The 2005/08 survey reported 570 applications for new housing, where the sole agreed contribution towards affordable housing provision was a commuted payment. Table 7 shows a breakdown of those consented applications, by the number of market units contained within them.
Table 7 and Chart 3 show that more than three-quarters (78 per cent) of all market housing applications, for which only a commuted payment was made towards affordable housing provision, are no larger than 5 units in size. 9 applications were for developments of over 50 units in size.
Of the 570 planning applications granted consent in Table 7 / Chart 3, 349 were from Aberdeenshire, 126 were from Scottish Borders and the remaining 96 were spread across 11 other Planning Authorities.
Table 8 (below) shows information by Planning Authority on the amount of commuted payments dealt with for affordable housing provision.
The first two columns show the total level (for each Planning Authority) of commuted payments agreed on planning applications granted consent during the 2005/08 financial years. The financial years 2005/06 and 2006/07 have been amalgamated for ease of display. A total of £5,083,074 was agreed to be paid by developers towards affordable housing provision on applications granted planning consent during 2005/07. This figure covering two financial years was still less than the agreed £7,512,552 for the 2007/08 financial year. Note that these figures refer to agreements to provide commuted payments. Actual commuted payment provision will be based on the commencement of the development receiving planning consent.
The rest of Table 8 outlines the flow of actual commuted payments dealt with by Planning Authorities. The amount of commuted payments for affordable housing held by Planning Authorities at the start of the 2005/06 financial year is shown. This is followed by the amount received during 2005/07, the amount spent on affordable housing provision and the amount no longer available. The final column shows the amount of commuted payments held by Planning Authorities at the end of the 2006/07 financial year. This information is then provided in the same format for the 2007/08 financial year.
Planning Authorities collectively held £4,704,596 in received commuted payments for affordable housing at the start of the 2007/08 financial year. During the following year they took in a further £5,848,857 on applications where the granting of consent included a commuted payment. They spent £701,721 on affordable housing provision and concluded with £9,851,793 at the end of the 2007/08 financial year.
Aberdeenshire Planning Authority held the greatest amount of commuted payment for affordable housing provision at the end of the 2007/08 financial year (£2,714,770 or 28 per cent of the total). This was followed by Perth and Kinross Planning Authority (£1,464,412 or 15 per cent).
A majority of Planning Authorities (19) did not receive or spend any commuted payments for affordable housing during 2005/08 (and held no commuted payments throughout this period). Cairngorms Planning Authority is not counted in this total due to the coverage of its neighbours.
Caution should be used with these figures, as detailed in the footnotes.


There are some traps in which the player suspends TNT over a 1x1 long pit and activates it. It will drop into the darkness, hopefully killing any unwanted monsters below it. It is especially useful upon entering a dungeon away from the chest to destroy the monster spawner.
When TNT is lit and then extinguished by rain it will of course go out. Afterwards, however, clicking the block will cause it to disappear and drop the TNT pick-up, then the pick-up goes away, and the block comes back activated, and detonates as if it were hit before the update making activation possible via fire or redstone only. This only happens with water when it is lit and extinguished by hand with water on the sides and not covering the top.

Sydney took the time to do it right. She listened to what I wanted and continually refined the process. She then sent me leads that I would be interested in, not homes SHE wanted me to buy. I never felt sales pressure; she gave me honest feedback about the houses; she had many useful tips.
