It's always tricky, coming to review one of these "updated" Pokémon games. Not least because my word processor refuses to recognise the word "Pokémon" and seems to think it's some mysterious ancient glyph. But also because it's difficult to know where to dole out praise and where to give criticism. Do I simply talk about the new features and whether they justify "double-dipping?" Do I consider the game in a vacuum? Do I babble at length about how cute and strong my Vaporeon is? I suppose the professional thing to do would be to do all three.
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are the product of Game Freak realising they missed out on making a "Pokémon Z" update to Pokémon X and Y, so are now double-dipping on their double-dip games (Quadruple-dipping?). These re-releases generally consist of adding new Pokémon to the region (like my amazing and powerful Vaporeon), tweaking the story a little, and scattering a few new features here and there to keep things feeling fresh. USUM do not stray from this mission statement in the slightest.
Let's focus on the new to begin with. The story now focuses around the prism Pokémon Necrozma (official classification the "weird black husk thing" Pokémon) and its ambition, if Pokémon can have ambitions, to steal all the light from the Alola region. It does this by having a couple of cosplayers' worst nightmares meeting you at random intervals and telling you it wants to do this and how scary it is, despite not seeing it until nine tenths through the game. All of the existing supporting characters are also understandably rather concerned, and critics have previously suggested this leaves the story feeling one-dimensional and bland – but each character also undergoes new arcs that makes them feel more human than their Sun and Moon appearances. Hau strives a lot more for self-improvement rather than being "Sunny Disposition Character 14b;" Lusamine and Guzma change from a one-dimensional lunatic and a bully to more sympathetic characters; Lillie is still terrible, but in new and exciting ways.
Other little tweaks are made here and there; the introduction sequence up to getting your first Pokémon has been mercifully shortened, for starters (make sure to read in the voice of somebody forcing a terrible pun, you know the one). A couple of the Trail Captains have had their challenges tweaked, and lots now culminate in a battle with a different Totem Pokémon – many of which are significantly more difficult than their predecessors, which is nice. Perhaps most important are changes to the end of the plot, which I shan't spoil, but which now contains one of the most satisfying and climactic battles of the series – and if you've been avoiding spoilers it'll catch you so unawares you won't be affected by your opponents stat changes. Sorry, Pokémon humour.
Perhaps the most notable – and regrettable – choice is to mirror a decision the Pokémon anime in Japan made recently, probably in the interest of selling toys, and give the RotomDex a personality. In theory this sounds acceptable, but the problem is the personality appears to be the birth-child of every single annoying helper-fairy from Zelda mixed with a bit of Sonic smarminess for good measure. A.K.A the worst thing to have ever happened. His reminding you you didn't ask for it, just to rub it in, and while the new Rotom items are useful he'll sit there with a face like a smacked bum if you don't claim them 0.2 seconds after they become available.
Other changes are less notable but much more warmly-received. Mantine Surfing may seem like a frivolous side-distraction – mainly because it is – but it's a fun time and rewards more Battle Points than grinding through the Battle Tree if you get half-decent at it. The Battle Agency, which features borrowing "rental" Pokémon to fight opponents, is a neat call-back to the Battle Factory facilities in the Battle Frontiers of Pokémon Emerald and its ilk, and also makes for an interesting side-activity. I've only just noticed how egregiously this franchise overuses the word "battle" for naming things.
Traversing the Ultra Wormholes is also fairly entertaining, though I feel like it could be a bit of a slog if you were planning on gathering every Legendary Pokémon, which I'm sure a lot of people are. Still, it's better than Pokémon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire's take on Legendaries, which was "just sort of fly around until they turn up." The photo club is… also, there; it adds nothing to gameplay and I used it maybe twice (to capture some cute pictures of my perfect Vaporeon), but I'm almost certain it wasn't aimed at people like me, but younger players who play Pokémon casually, rather than seeing them an instruments of war disguised as mice and dogs and stuff. Finally, there's the teased end-game content, "Episode Rainbow Rocket." Which is just amazing. The fanfiction-esque "all the baddies team up" plot is handled surprisingly well, being both epic and respectful of its source material, and the music throughout this part is some of the best the franchise has ever offered.
This all said, asides from the RotomDex being a huge pain, a lot of these changes don't have a huge effect on the minute-to-minute gameplay, which is more or less the same as it was when Pokémon Red and Blue came out about two decades ago. While the new returning faces are nice there's maybe one or two of them per area max, and quite often at relatively low capture rates. This is compounded by the game taking a very long time to stop holding your hand – by halfway through the game, about 14 or so hours in, I was still being asked if I knew how to perform basic functions. This can make the game feel like an uphill struggle to begin with for returning players, but I personally feel the rewards waiting past this struggle are worth the effort.
If you haven't played Pokémon Sun or Moon yet, go ahead and slap a big "10/10" sticker over the score I'm about to give, because there's no doubt that, in a vacuum, this is the best Pokémon game ever made. But if you have, the changes introduced here make not be enough to warrant a second visit to Alola. For me, the returning Pokémon – like old friends at this point – and tweaks to the plot and Totem fights justified the return, but not without reservations, and not without being prepared to be taught how to catch a Pokémon for the millionth time.


On Thursday, November 15th, NICO will celebrate Beaujolais Nouveau Day with a special four course dinner crafted by French Master Chef Nico Romo. The menu will feature Louis Jadot Beaujolais wine pairings.
The four course dinner created by Chef Romo, a Lyon, France native and one of just 66 French Master Chefs in the country (and the only recipient in South Carolina), begins with Chicken Coque au Vin Soup with creme fraiche, followed by a Seafood Crepe with sauce nantua, Duck Breast with orange glaze, and fall vegetables, and ends sweetly with a Profiterole with pumpkin ice cream and spicy chocolate.
Beaujolais Nouveau Day is celebrated in France on every third Thursday in November with festivals and fireworks when the cherry-red colored wine is released at 12:01 am just weeks after the wine's grapes have been harvested. Beaujolais Nouveau is meant to be drunk young and is best served chilled. This fresh and fruity red is the result of a quick fermentation process with Gamay grapes, creating an easily-drinkable, tasty, and clean wine.
Limited seats to this festive French celebration are available for $60 per person. To make a reservation for NICO's Beaujolais Nouveau Dinner on Thursday, November 15th, call 843-352-7969.
NICO is located at 201 Coleman Blvd., Mount Pleasant, SC 29464.

Poker table image is simply how a player comes off towards other players. Many players fail to use their images to their advantage.
Who has a poker table image?
All professional poker players have images. For example Dan Harrington is tight and Gus Hansen is loose. However, they do not stay with a specific style throughout an entire tournament. They have the skill to change up their game without an opponent realizing.
Phil Helmuth is known for playing very aggressively; but it is more often the case that he has the best hand and just posturing as an aggressive player. This ability of imitating a loose or aggressive player gives him a significant advantage over his adversaries. Gus Hansen plays almost any two cards, however; a good deal of the time he is playing premium hands.
If you are a loose player than make sure your opponent knows it. When you actually get a premium hand play it the same way. Doing this will confuse the other players.
If you are a tight player use it to your advantage. Let your opponents think you have picked up a quality hand by betting pre-flop. If you win the blinds be happy and if you are called don't be discouraged. Following up on the flop with a bet will make it tough for a good player to call. If the flop comes big (ace, king, ten for example) they will most likely assume that you have hit and fold. If it comes low and your sub par hand hits it is even better, they will put you on an even larger hand, or nothing.
Aggressive players must use their poker image to their advantage. Being aggressive angers your opponents. In most cases being aggressive pays off. When you actually pick up a hand your opponents will be so frustrated by previous play that they will play stubborn. By playing stubborn I mean that a player will be tired of folding their mediocre hands and call. Play your hand the same way: bet, bet, and bet again.
Showing your cards is good in some situations and bad in others. Most online poker rooms give players the option to show or muck. Use this feature to your advantage.
Always muck the winning hand. If you've got the nuts make them pay to see it. Showing the winning hand just gives free information to your opponents. It gives the confidence to know they made the correct play and actually makes their play stronger. Not showing ones hand confuses the others and makes them question their own play.
Show the bluff. Their is nothing more demoralizing then showing someone that they folded the best hand. More often than not it puts a player on tilt. They question every play they make. When up against the same player again he or she will believe that you are attempting to bluff once again and when you turn over the nuts nothing makes them angrier.
In a live game the ability to show only one card can sometimes be used to your advantage. Showing a deuce and mucking your other card can often confuse your opponent. However, players often catch on quick to this style and going back to mucking your cards is recommended.
After reading this article you should be able to maintain and manipulate your poker table image.


Actress Samantha may well be the top league heroine of Tollywood and everyone dances to her tunes in the industry but then it looks like she is being made to dance to the tunes of one man. He also happens to be a hero and there is a strong grapevine that both him and Samantha are having a serious affair.
Now, the talk is that the hero has been putting tremendous pressure on Samantha to wrap up all her films as soon as possible.
At the same time, he is also putting pressure on her not to sign any new films. The reason for that is, the hero is desperate to marry her at the earliest.
There is a buzz that the key reason why Samantha has not looked towards Bollywood is because of the hero's instructions.
Well, he seems to be quite determined to marry this girl but using pressure tactics is something to be thought about. The cine folks are waiting to see how long Samantha will last this pressure and when she will snap. No guesses on who the hero is folks!

Undocumented Immigrants
Washington, District 3
Retired Physician: Small Towns Need More Doctors, So Why Hinder Undocumented Med Students?
James Merrill has led a life of service. As a doctor in the small town of Enumclaw, Washington, he delivered some 3,000 babies. Many of the families he treated were Mexican immigrants and they made him part of their community. "I was invited to a lot of fiestas," he says.
Merrill is also very active in his Catholic church, and he regularly counsels immigrant teenagers preparing for their confirmation. As he advised these young people, he discovered that some were undocumented. They had been brought to the United States as children and their parents had not been able to obtain legal residency for the family.
What a loss it would be if these young people were forced to leave. They could be of great service to our country.
One of these children was Mari Pachuca, who had come to the United States when she was six years old. "Mari is so Americanized, it is ridiculous," Merrill says. "She has no accent. She's like anyone else who has lived here forever." Mari aspired to be a doctor, a goal Merrill believed was imminently attainable, given her high grades and studious nature. But her lack of status meant that financing college and medical school would be exceedingly difficult. "I thought that was pretty unfair," he says. "It shocked me and saddened me." (Mari is now on Deferred Action for Early Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, which shields her from deportation and allows her to seek legal employment. She has, however, shelved her plans to become an M.D. Her immigration status doesn't allow her to secure an educational loan, which means she is forced to work her way through school.)
Working with people like Mari Pachuca has made Merrill a strong supporter of immigration reform. "We have a large amount of land," he says. "It's not like we are going to be overpopulated. There's lots of room for good people." He sees Mari and other Dreamers as particularly deserving of citizenship. "What a loss it would be if these young people were forced to leave," he says. "They could be of great service to our country."

TRAILER REVEAL! GET A FIRST LOOK AT 'DEAR JUSTICE LEAGUE' BY MICHAEL NORTHROP AND GUSTAVO DUARTE
TRAILER REVEAL! GET A FIRST LOOK AT 'DEAR JUSTICE LEAGUE'...
By DC Publicity Tuesday, April 30th, 2019
New Middle Grade Original Graphic Novel from DC Zoom
Hits Stores Everywhere Books are Sold on August 6, 2019
Available to Pre-Order Now
DC revealed today a new book trailer and preview artwork for DC Zoom's forthcoming middle grade graphic novel, DEAR JUSTICE LEAGUE, by New York Times bestselling author Michael Northrop (TombQuest) with art by Gustavo Duarte.
"In DEAR JUSTICE LEAGUE, I wanted to explore who these DC Super Heroes are behind the masks and answer the kinds of questions kids would have for these larger than life figures," explained Northrop. "On a personal note, comics helped me become a better reader, a better storyteller and helped me fit in as a kid. Writing about these same characters is a dream come true and feels like coming full circle to where things began for me as a reader. I hope kids enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it and I hope it helps young fans see that everyone is going through something. Even when it seems like someone is perfect or has it made, they're probably trying to figure it out just like the rest of us."
"The Justice League (or The Super Friends to my generation :) ) are some of most iconic characters in the world. Characters I've been living around, reading and watching since I was a kid," said Duarte. "When DC called me to work on this book, it was a great to joy work with these old friends, and on a book that will introduce these beloved characters to new kids - like I was when I first met them. Plus. I could draw my favorite Super Villain of all time. :) To work with Michael on this book was so much fun! Writing for kids is not an easy task or an exact science, and Michael is the best there is. He gives us a script with humor, adventure and spice. A delightful story not only for the kids, but for the whole family."
An exclusive excerpt from the original graphic novel will be given away for free on Free Comic Book Day on May 4, 2019 at participating comic book shops across North America. The full book is slated to hit stores everywhere books are sold on August 6, 2019 and is available to pre-order now.
See below for trailer and official synopsis and above for a first look at interiors.
Written by Michael Northrop
Illustrated by Gustavo Duarte
On sale everywhere books are sold on August 6, 2019
The greatest heroes in the DC universe, the Justice League, answer mail from their biggest fans--kids!--courtesy of Michael Northrop, New York Times bestselling author of TombQuest, and artist Gustavo Duarte.
Does Superman ever make mistakes? What was Wonder Woman's eleventh birthday like? Does Aquaman smell like fish? In this new middle-grade graphic novel, iconic heroes are asked questions both big and small, and when they are not busy saving the world, the Justice League even finds time to respond. Their honest and humorous answers will surprise and delight readers of any age, as it turns out that being a superhero is not too different from being a kid.
Full of feats, follies, and colorful illustrations, Dear Justice League gives readers the inside scoop into everyday heroics, no matter who wears the cape!

In Gloucester, Poetry and Prose on Writing and War
Posted on May 13, 2012 by mrseclecticist
Thanks to Henry Ferrini and the Gloucester Writers Center for this photo of yesterday's readers.
Yesterday afternoon I was fortunate to attend a reading, "Readings and Conversations: Poetry and Prose on Writing and War"; a combined presentation of the Gloucester Writers Center, The Joiner Center for the Study of War and Social Consequences, and Consequence Magazine.
In opening, Gloucester Poet Laureate Ruthanne "Rufus" Collinson read a vivid and touching poem about a dear friend from college, being with him the day he received his draft notice, and years later visiting the Vietnam War Memorial with her daughter, and finding his name on the Wall.
Kevin Bowen, former director of the William Joiner Center for the Study of War and Social Consequences
read poems and–in Vietnamese, follwed by English translation– a piece from a Vietnamese poet; there is an interview with Kevin on the website for "Voices" . I've been immersing myself in novels set in WWI, so I was interested to read this from Kevin: " I think the poetry of the Vietnam War does hearken back to poetry from World War I. The themes of betrayal, of the enormity of war, of its brutality, the creation of an enormous gulf between past and present, the world before and the world after the war, they are there. "
Bowen and his fellow poets were unsparing in brutal detail; the work makes it clear that the war is very present for them, a well of horror continually yielding fresh images. In the poem "Body Count: The Dead at Tay Ninh", Bowen writes of stacking bodies beside the mess tent. "Their bodies black and crisp curled in the purple light. Dawn, we flew them out in bags,/ mopped up the mess for chow."
Marc Levy, the next reader, served as an infantry medic and Vietnam and, as he read, there was an electric intensity in the room as he made the war very real for us through his words and images. As Marc writes in his essay "Whatever You Did in War Will Always be With You", "That was thirty-seven years ago. Or was it last night?" Hearing his poems left me eager to watch a video, "The Real Deal", featuring Levy reading his works accompanied by a background of sounds and images from the Vietnam War. You can read his poem "Dead Letter Day Poem" online.
Fred Marchant, accomplished poet and educator (he is the director of Creative Writing at The Poetry Center of Suffolk University), opened with an amazing poem by William Stafford, sharing that Stafford was a conscientious objector in WWII. The poem contained a terrifying image of the atomic bomb "mushroom cloud" as an immense snake rising up from the earth; I wish I could find the poem and share it here but it's well worth looking for.
Marchant's 2009 poetry collection from Graywolf Press, "The Looking House", was named by Barnes & Noble as one of the five best poetry collections of the year. You can read two of these astonishing and hard-hitting poems here. The review of the book in the Christian Science Monitor notes that Marchant was one of the first Marine officers to become a conscientious objector. I need to share his photo here because I kept thinking, as he was reading his searing verse, that he has the face of ….maybe an angel who has passed through hell without losing his light. Stefi Rubin took this photo, which appears on The Poetry Foundation website, and I hope she will not mind me sharing it here, so you can see what I mean.
Helen Garland, wife of the late Joe Garland (author of Unknown Soldiers), shared some moving reflections
about Joe, their correspondence during WWII–a contact which Helen later discovered was redemptive for Joe–, their experiences with his post-traumatic stress disorder, and the writing of this book, a compelling mission in his life. Most of us were in tears, as was Helen, when she closed her portion of the talk with a poem.
Martin Ray, who arrived in Vietnam in 1971 as an Airborne Ranger Combat Engineer, discovered a new dimension of the war and of humanity when he enrolled in a basic photography course and began taking his camera around Saigon at every opportunity. He speaks of the images of his subjects rising up to him from the developing tray and asserting their common membership in the Family of Man. "I went there to test my manhood and came home to test my humanity". As he read poetry and prose reflecting on his war experiences, the audience circulated several of his eloquent photographs of the people of Saigon.
George Kovach (editor/publisher of Consequence), spoke about the mission of his magazine, of which Kevin Bowen and Fred Marchant are contributing editors. The Spring 2012 issue is just out; copies of the journal were available for perusal and purchase, and, with its focus on the cultural consequences of war and injustice, it's clearly a valuable addition to the selection of literary journals focused on social issues.
The final featured reader was Aldo Tambellini, a visual artist, filmmaker, poet and peace activist still vibrant and visionary at 82. He shared his experience of surviving an Allied bombing of his village when he was a teenager in Italy; and he read some powerful poems that brought the reading full-circle, as he had not been a combat veteran, but a civilian witness to and victim of the horrors of war. I'd encourage you to explore his website to learn more about his genre-stretching and boldly imaginative creative works and to experience his authentic voice through his writings.
This event made me hungry for more of what literary Gloucester has to offer, and also eager to deepen my acquaintance with the works of these artists, all of whom were new to me. What a rich afternoon; out of pain, such gifts.

This free standing staircase highlights how traditional materials can create a modern feature inside of your home. With minimal styles such as chamfered spindles and square newels, the actual shape and presence of the staircase becomes the feature.
The client wanted cut string to improve visibility in the room making the staircase less intrusive. The underside was finished with plasterboard and then painted white to add a contrast in the room and break up the colours from the stairs.


SACRAMENTO, CA (November 6, 2018) — As a proud sponsor of SkateMD, a Northern California based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Emplicity is excited to help spread the word about their upcoming fourth birthday celebration and fundraiser and wants to encourage friends and clients in the Sacramento area to come out and celebrate four extraordinary years of kindness and skateboarding as well as help fund the program for another year.
The event will be held on Sunday, November 11th at Beatnik Studios in Sacramento. The celebration will feature sets by DJ Eve, live music, a beer and wine garden, an out of this world raffle, a silent auction featuring work from local artists and members of the local skateboarding community, an awards program and of course birthday cake!
Tickets to the event are just $10, and children 12 years old and under are free. Businesses and individuals who would like to do more than attend can reach out to the SkateMD team at [email protected] to see which sponsorship levels are still available.
SkateMD's mission is to "heal hearts by spreading kindness and skateboarding to special populations of children facing developmental, physical, emotional or family challenges." The program was founded in 2014 by two friends connected through skateboarding (the "Skate"), Melanie Tillotson (the "M") and Andrea "Drea" Bibelheimer (the "D") in response to a viral video of a teenage boy with Autism who was viciously pranked by other teenagers.
Drea and Melanie combined their respective backgrounds in community relations and nonprofit leadership with the support of a quickly-formed board of directors, and were able to gain nonprofit status, have a logo and site designed, receive skateboard and gear donations, recruit over 50 volunteers and host their first clinic with 25 children from the community just two months after the viral video surfaced. They've been able to hold their free one-on-one skateboard clinics for children with special needs every other month at local skate parks in the Sacramento region for four years running.
"Emplicity is proud to be a sponsor of SkateMD's fourth birthday celebration and fundraiser, " said Vic Tanon, President/CEO of Emplicity. "We hope our friends and clients in the Sacramento area will join us in supporting this amazing organization," he added.

Let's get this out of the way: The story of Jesus being raised from the dead is totally nuts. The idea that for two nights Jesus would lie dead in a tomb – probably beginning to smell a little funny – and then on Sunday morning would be up and about, visiting his friends, strains credulity to the breaking point.
Even those who saw it first-hand were slow to believe it. Mary assumed he was a gardener. The male disciples dismissed the women who told them what they had seen. And the apostle Thomas said he wouldn't believe in the resurrection unless he personally put his hand into Jesus' pierced side.
Today, there are billions of people who say they believe in the resurrection. Countless men and women throughout the centuries have believed, despite not having the benefit of touching Jesus' wounds or having breakfast with him by the Sea of Galilee.
To any rational outsider, the resurrection faith of the Christian community must seem inexplicable. How do so many otherwise reasonable people come to put their faith in an event that none of us have personally witnessed, and which all our scientific knowledge tells us is not possible?
I had the same reaction during my first visit to a Quaker church on Easter Sunday. Everyone around me was saying, "He is risen!" and I could only look at them with startled curiosity. On what basis were these intelligent, highly-educated people saying something so preposterous? Did they have special knowledge that I didn't? I asked some of them directly: Have you seen Jesus yourself?
I remember being less than satisfied with their answers. How could faith in something as crucial as the resurrection rely solely on church tradition or the words of an ancient book? Surely we should demand more proof than that. If Jesus showed himself to the first disciples, why shouldn't we expect the same today?
According to John, Jesus says those who have not seen but believe anyway are blessed. But I've never been very interested in that kind of blessing. I'm more of a Thomas. I want to see Jesus with my eyes and touch him with my hands. If Jesus and his resurrection are going to be at the center of my faith, I want to know the reality of it for myself. I don't want any second-hand religion. I want to be a witness to the resurrection.
And in many ways, I have been. In the years since my first, skeptical Easter, I have had my own Thomas moments. I have seen the presence of Jesus shining through in the lives of those around me, in acts of courage and love, and in totally unexpected encounters that are hard to explain. I have come face to face with Jesus, the one who was dead but now has been raised to life.
I acknowledge that to many my faith might seem to stand on a weak foundation. But I have seen Jesus in the flesh. I have seen him in the flesh of men and women who are serving him, many times without even being aware of it. I have seen how he lives in the most broken of us, even in me. He is alive. His amazing presence fills the cosmos, and this silly little world we share. If that's not bodily resurrection, I don't know what is.
I grew up with a weird mix of influences. My parents were pastors of an Evangelical Friends Church in Wichita, Kansas. They were also radical social justice activists who were getting into all sorts of trouble with mainstream Christian culture. In the early 90s, they were taking me along to gay pride rallies. They trespassed at the local Air Force Base and stood on railroad tracks to block the transport of nuclear weapons. They involved me in creative protests at stores selling violent toys. My parents taught me that it was the duty of Christians to disobey unjust laws and reject violence – whether by individuals or the state.
My family straddled two worlds that are often kept apart: Biblically-based Christian discipleship, and radical movements for social transformation. It wasn't until later that I would understand just how unusual, and amazing, this early training was. I got exposed to the nonviolent principles of Gandhi and King, as well as to a variety of other radical ideologies not explicitly based in the gospel. I absorbed all of this side by side with a reading of the Bible that emphasized God's love for the poor and Jesus' invitation to participate in a new social, political, and economic order.
Growing up in this milieu, I heard the word "solidarity" a lot. To be honest, I never quite figured out what it meant. It was a nice word to throw into an email to make myself sound a little more radical, but my understanding never went much beyond that. "Solidarity" was an insider word that helped signal that I was part of the movement.
The first time I truly began to grasp the meaning of the word "solidarity" was during the Occupy movement. Thousands of like-hearted people were coming together to make immediate, concrete change in our society. This was a new experience for me, on a whole new order of magnitude from the what I had seen before. It opened my eyes to what solidarity could mean in practice.
Suddenly, I was part of a community so much bigger than myself, a movement whose total focus was the transformation of the world, now. We made decisions together, we prepared food and tried to stay warm. When the police attacked, we all felt it. We were so identified with one another than an assault on another occupier felt like a personal slap in the face. "Solidarity" wasn't just some convenient movement word anymore; it had taken on flesh and bone. We were ready to suffer and sacrifice for one another. We believed we could change the world through our endurance. And we did.
I find it striking how this experience of solidarity parallels with the story of the early church and other movements of the Holy Spirit. Solidarity corresponds to that sense of being "one body" that Paul describes in his first letter to the Corinthians. Communities gathered together by the Holy Spirit experience this kind of organic unity: a readiness to prioritize love for one another over personal fear and ambition.
For the thousands of us forever changed by our experiences in the Occupy movement, we know that solidarity is a key ingredient. It's like salt, without which our lives have very little flavor. Yet solidarity is such a rare thing for many of us. It's a reality that is lacking almost completely from middle-class American culture. We're individuals. We don't rely on one another. We're not knit together as one fabric.
It's time to break out of this middle class trap of fear and consumptive materialism. We're invited to experience solidarity, which breaks down the barriers between us and creates genuine community. When we become friends of Jesus, we discover the true meaning of unity. Based in shared mission, gifts, and care for one another, we are drawn together as one body in his Spirit. Living as members of one another, we can discover a life that goes beyond the hungry selfishness of consumerism.
Are you ready to open yourself to this journey of discipleship together with me? The Holy Spirit is present to break your shackles and fill you with life. You have nothing to lose but your fear.
Is Capitalism Compatible with Christianity?
When I was about twelve years old, I went through a phase when I was terribly afraid of hell. Like, wake-up-screaming scared of hell. Shouting-at-the-ceiling-because-God-won't-answer afraid of damnation. My parents probably thought I was mentally ill, but that wasn't quite right. I was living in a persistent state of spiritual terror.
Somewhere along the way (maybe at the church summer camps that tended to be run by the more fundamentalist-leaning folks in our denomination) I had come across the idea that my eternal soul was in peril. There was a deep, dark abyss of fiery torment waiting for me the moment I died, and there was nothing I could do to save myself. Nothing, except say a prayer inviting Jesus into my heart and asking God to forgive my sins.
So I did that. A lot. I can't even remember how many times I invited Jesus into my heart. Asking God for forgiveness for my sins became a compulsive ritual, lifelessly recited several times a day, just in case I might die in the next few hours. My relationship with God was basically robotic. I just kept hitting save on my spiritual Word document, praying that when my physical computer crashed God would be able to recover the data.
I felt so empty, so distant from God. I was desperate to know that I was acceptable to him, and that I would not face unspeakable punishment when I died. I wanted the constant, gnawing anxiety to stop. Eventually, I became so desperate that I asked my mom to baptize me in a swimming pool.
This was a strange thing for me to ask of my mother, and perhaps even stranger that she agreed to it. You see, we were Quakers, and baptism is just not something that Friends do.
The Quaker church teaches that traditional Christian rituals, called sacraments by most groups, aren't the true religion instituted by Jesus. You don't have to eat bread and wine to commune with Jesus. You don't have to get dunked in a river to experience spiritual conversion. Real faith comes from a living relationship with Jesus Christ, not from masses, baptisms, and suppers.
Following this logic, Quakers normally eschew the mainstream Christian rituals. Our understanding of Scripture leads us to believe that these practices are not only unnecessary, but can actually be harmful if they are allowed to take the place of the substance of Christian faith. There's good reason to believe this is true: How many people have been burned, hanged, drowned, and tortured because they baptized by dunking rather than sprinkling, or baptized adults rather than children? How many communities have been ripped apart by disagreements over how the Lord's Supper should be performed, and whether the wafers and wine are really the body of Jesus, or just symbolically so?
Jesus didn't come to establish a particular way of eating bread or washing ourselves. The church's historic obsession with these rituals has caused more harm than good, often even serving as tools of oppression. As one of the most radical Christian groups of the already revolutionary 17th-century England, Quakers did away with the iconic ceremonies of the historic church.
My parents being Quaker pastors, I was well-aware of our tradition's rejection of sacramental rites. At this point, though, I didn't really care. I had had enough of the torment. If dunking me in the chlorine-filled swimming pool would make the pain stop, I was for it. If my pastor mom (a former Baptist, conveniently) could impart some grace to my life, I was ready to give it a go.
I came up out of that water expecting to feel something. Anything. Some kind of shift in my mental state. A feeling of deeper communion with God. Relief from the burden of sin and the fear of hell.
I waited for it. Pretty soon, I realized I'd be waiting a long time.
It would be years before I would finally experience the connection with God that I longed for. When it did come, it was not the result of any ritual or rote prayer. I would have to learn that the grace and power of God is not a magic trick to be controlled, but a relationship to be received.
Before that, I would pass through a period of deep despair. I renounced God and religion, certain that the faith of my upbringing had nothing to offer me but daily fear and spiritual burden.
When I did come back to faith, it was through direct, personal experience of the Holy Spirit. This Spirit led me back into the Quaker community (though, admittedly, a very different corner of it). Even after becoming a Quaker again, I still found Christian theology and language offensive and threatening. Fortunately, the Spirit kept working with me. I eventually discovered the real Jesus, first in the pages of the New Testament and later in my own direct experience of him as risen Lord.
I finally realized that I had become a Christian in early 2007, when I was able to say with integrity: Jesus is Lord. Since that time, I have been growing in my understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus. My deepening experience of his life has been both beautiful and painful, teaching me that relationship with God is not only about feeling the Spirit's presence, but also involves significant periods of spiritual dryness and doubt.
I am so grateful for the space that the Quaker community has given me to develop as a follower of Jesus. The rich and radical theology of the Quaker tradition has provided me with a greater awareness of the Holy Spirit, and the ability to name when I see Jesus alive and at work in the modern world.
As time has gone on, I have also felt myself drawn to other Christians, from different traditions. There is a radical stream of Christianity – found across denominations – that takes the Sermon on the Mount literally and experiences Jesus as alive and present to lead us. I'm inspired by Anabaptists, radical Catholics, charismatics, and rowdy believers of all kinds. I long for unity and collaboration with these other radical disciples. I want to be together with them, following the leading of the Holy Spirit and sharing the good news, just like in the New Testament church.
But my joy turns to sadness when I realize that my Quaker conviction about the sacraments may prevent me from entering into full fellowship with others in the radical church. It's startling for me to realize that I actually can't become a member of most non-Quaker congregations without being sprinkled or dunked with water. Even in relatively radical circles, where most ideas are up for debate, the necessity of certain rituals for group membership (if not salvation) is a core assumption.
I wish I could let this thing go. I really do. It seems silly to block ecumenical unity on the basis of arguments about water and bread and wine.
But it's not silly. Sacraments don't really matter. And that really matters.
It's a question of whether my path to God and relationship with Jesus Christ are valid. It's a question of whether I'm really a child of God, even if I didn't do a certain ritual when I came to trust in Jesus as Lord. It's a question of whether God's power is greater than the human need for orderliness and rules to follow.
I am a baptized believer. I was baptized that night I stayed up late reading CS Lewis and was visited by the Holy Spirit. I was baptized on the campus of Lancaster University in England, when God called me into a life of service. I've been baptized in ecstasy, and I've been baptized through suffering. I've been baptized into the agony of God's absence from my life, and into the joy of his presence. I've been baptized and re-baptized so many times, I've lost count.
I can't throw all of that away for a false unity around water baptism. I can't renounce my faith that God does whatever he wants to do, human rituals or no. I can't forget that God saved me while I was still an unwashed sinner, and that no amount of outward washing can improve upon the inward work of Christ's spirit in me.
In spite of the barriers that these convictions present to so many of my brothers and sisters, I still long for unity.
I accept you. I embrace the work that God is doing in your lives. Can you accept what God is doing in me?
Whether we have all passed through the same rituals is unimportant. What matters is the power of God at work in us. Clearly, God has poured out his Holy Spirit on the Anabaptist and the Quaker, the Baptist and the Catholic. Who are we to question the saving work of Christ in our midst? How much longer will we grieve the Holy Spirit with our human disputes?

Program your wrist watch
Written by Harry Fairhead
Bored with developing apps for mobile phones?
What about working on an app for a wrist watch?
No it's not a Dick Tracy fantasy - it's reasonably priced, available now and there's an SDK for it.
Just when you though you had considered all the options for your killer app - there's a new platform in town. The inPulse digital watch is a programmable Bluetooth-connected "smart watch". It's just right to pair up with your smart phone, netbook or portable and it costs $149.
It can work in two ways:
A programmable display on your wrist
An alerting platform, connected to your smartphone (Android, Blackberry, Jailbroken iPhone) or PC (Mac OS X, Windows, Ubuntu).
An SDK provides pixel-level control of the display and access to Bluetooth messages. The connection isn't full Bluetooth, it is described as "blue-flavoured", but it works with Android, BlackBerry, Mac, Windows and Linux and it's a two-way connection.
The SDK also has an emulator so you can develop your program and test it out before you actually have to buy the hardware to run it. Code is written in C and there isn't much space to cram everything into - 32KB of flash and 8KB of RAM. As well as Bluetooth it has a buzzer, a single input button and an OLED 96x128 screen. The processor is a 52MHz ARM7 but this mostly doesn't matter because you code in C. The battery life is claimed at 4 days and charging is via a micro USB connector.
So what could you use it for?
Before you ask, yes Doom has already been ported (partly) and it runs in a semi-convincing way - one control button is something of a limitation!
Doom on a watch
You can code a server on your PC in any language you like and send messages to the watch via Bluetooth, so this means you can use the screen to display more or less any status information you like. If you want to use it with a mobile device then you obviously need to create an app on that device that can talk to the watch.
There are already some standard apps for the watch, iTunes, various watch faces, ping stat, PowerPoint controller, notification and alerts. There is forum where you can chat and share apps but at the moment there is no official app store.
This is clearly another hardware device in search of a killer app - but what does it matter, it sounds fun and if I can already think of serious uses for it then it can't be that hard.

What is AR / VR?
Is my device AR-compatible?

Bringing history to life
There are few more obvious applications for augmented reality than heritage. The places and spaces dedicated to telling the stories of our past represent some of the most valuable cultural capital we have, but face a perennial fight for relevance in the digital era. The incredible histories, characters and narratives risk gradually being lost from the collective conscious, as society turns its attention elsewhere, particularly for entertainment and leisure. Embracing technology has always been a potential way for heritage to move with the times, but the immersive experiences that are now possible represent the most impactful use of technology yet available to the sector.
TO LEARN MORE ABOUT AR AND WHAT IT CAN DO FOR HERITAGE, READ ON OR GET IN TOUCH
Contact Arcade
The short answer is that AR is for everyone in heritage. From the biggest museums with the deepest pockets to the smallest heritage sites relying on volunteers, there is an immersive technology solution for you.
Device capabilities (whether supplied by the heritage site or brought by the visitor) and quality of experiences now readily available in immersive tech are fast putting to bed any debate about the potential of AR. Magical, mind-blowing mixed physical and digital experiences are within reach of all, with the key differentiator being mindset and ambition, not tech infrastructure or budgets.
Here are a few examples of the different ways AR can be used in the heritage sector:
MARVELLOUS MISSENDEN // EXPAND YOUR FOOTPRINT
The Marvellous Missenden experience dramatises the inspiration that Roald Dahl took from his surroundings, by taking visitors to the Roald Dahl Museum & Story Centre on a magical journey through the village he called home. The museum had historically suffered from being seen as a 'wet weather destination', but by creating a digital, narrative-led journey beyond its walls, it suddenly had something to offer on glorious sunny days too.
Read more about the experience here.
MISS PERKINS // FACE TO FACE
The Ragged School Museum in East London was once the largest 'ragged' or 'free' schools in London. Saved from demolition in the 1980s by passionate local heritage enthusiasts, today it welcomes thousands of schoolchildren and other visitors through its doors each year. Many meet Victorian-era school teachers, played by actors, who show them what it would have been like to attend the school. To offer a different type of visitor experience and possibly open it up to those unable to visit the school, we created 'Miss Perkins', an AR hologram that can be viewed as if she were standing in front of the user. Answer her questions correctly, or you might end up wearing the dunce's cap!
MUSIC WALK OF FAME // Animating the Inanimate
Arcade were selected as partners to design, create and provide the AR experiences that can be triggered by each stone on Camden's Music Walk of Fame. Using a free app, visitors can bring each stone to life and access the AR experience that is revealed. To date, that includes hearing exclusive content ahead of The Who's latest album release, joining the Madness 'nutty train', taking a memorial photograph of sadly-missed icon Amy Winehouse on the streets she loved so much, and getting 'back to life' with Soul II Soul. Importantly, these experiences trigger directly from the stones themselves, 'anchoring' the AR in physical, real-world objects. The effect is believable, 'authentic' digital experiences that feel real, even though we know they are not.
Keeping up with expectation
The visually astonishing, physically and emotionally engaging experiences that characterise augmented reality offer an entirely new way for heritage to tell its stories – but it won't stay 'new' for long. As our furniture retailers, cosmetics brands, fashion labels, social media apps, games and so many more are introducing AR, we are all becoming more familiar with 3D digital content, to the extent that in the near future it will be as normal as web pages are today.
That doesn't mean there's any need to panic, but it does mean there is a growing imperative for organisations of all kinds to ensure they understand what this technology is, what it should be used for, and most importantly whether – and if so, how – it can add value for them and their audiences.
As you can see from the examples above, AR can be used for a variety of different purposes. The most important startpoint is to identify the challenges you are trying to address. They might include traditional issues such as growing visitor numbers, frequency of visit, dwell time, satisfaction, advocacy and, of course, secondary spend, but can also be about attracting new audiences, engaging with people off site or expanding the footprint of the attraction.
So, first thing's first: what's your challenge?

Th is year I planted several types of cut flowers into my raised bed, but only a few seeds actually grew. I don't think I kept the seeds moist enough during their critical germination window. So I have only 4 snapdragons, 3 bachelor buttons, and several zinnias from all the seeds I spread.
The zinnias have gone wild, though! I planted two varieties, Giant Doubles and Candy Cane Zinnias. I've had to use metal plant stakes to hold them up – they are easily 2 feet tall.
While working in the yard this morning, I noticed these red flowers & vines growing through the fence from the neighbor's yard.
Aren't the flowers pretty? My Master Gardener's group identified it as Red Cypress Vine and said that the hummingbirds love them. Further research reveals that it needs a trellis or something to vine around (they grow like morning glories) and that it can get very tall and be rather invasive if you let it self seed. It also needs a fair amount of water, so I'm going to have to consider carefully about whether I want to grow that in my yard or not. My ultimate goal is to have gardens that need no hand watering, native adaptive plants. Somehow I doubt Red Cypress Vine qualifies. But it certainly is a lovely looking flower. I'll have to see how my neighbor is growing it, as I don't see any trellis poking up over the fence that it could fine on.

Iran ready to connect Gwadar port with Chabahar

Category: Gwadar News
–Pakistani officials tells Iranian FM to avoid conflict with US
–Javad Zarif says Tehran shares Islamabad's vision for regional peace
–Gen Bajwa tells Iranian official war is not in anyone's interest
ISLAMABAD: Iran has said that it is ready to connect Pakistan's Gwadar port with Chabahar port to promote trade and commerce in the region.
The proposal was put forward by Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who met Pakistan's civil-military leadership in Islamabad on Friday.
"I've come here with a proposal for the government of Pakistan for connection between Chabahar and Gwadar… We believe that Chabahar and Gwadar can complement each other," Zarif was quoted as saying during a meeting with Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi.
"We can connect Chabahar and Gwadar, and then through that connect Gwadar to our entire railroad system, from Iran to the North Corridor, through Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, and also through Azerbaijan, Russia, and through Turkey."
Iran, India and Afghanistan signed a trilateral transit agreement in Tehran in May 2016, which allows the three countries to open new routes of connection by converting Chabahar port into a transit hub.
The port in Chabahar, only about 100 kilometres from the Pakistan border and located on the Indian Ocean, is Iran's largest outside the Gulf.
It is also the only Iranian port with exemptions from economic sanctions re-imposed by the United States in 2018.
Meanwhile, Pakistan urged both Tehran and the United States to refrain from escalating the conflict.
Zarif, who landed in Islamabad late Thursday night, held separate meetings with Prime Minister Imran Khan, Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi.
Zarif and PM Imran talked about bilateral relations between Iran and Pakistan in a meeting that was also attended by Qureshi.
The purpose of Zarif's visit to Pakistan was not made public, says Associated Press, reporting that there has been speculation that Iran is looking to Islamabad and its close relationship with Riyadh to help de-escalate the situation.
Ahead of Zarif's arrival, Pakistan's foreign ministry called on "all sides to show restraint, as any miscalculated move, can transmute into a large-scale conflict."
In his meeting with Gen Bajwa at General Headquarters, matters of mutual interest and evolving situation in the region were discussed during the meeting.
The army chief said that war was not in anyone's interest and that all sides need to make efforts to keep conflict away from the region, said a statement issued by the military's media wing.
During the delegation-level talks held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Qureshi assured the Iranian counterpart about Pakistan's reconciliatory efforts for ensuring peace in the region.
He further said that dialogue is the only way to resolve the disputes as conflict will not benefit either side. Pointing towards the surging tension between Iran and the US, he reiterated that all stakeholders need to showcase tolerance as regional tension was in no one's interest.
He stated that Pakistan wants resolution of all outstanding issues through diplomatic engagement and said that stakeholders need to demonstrate patience and tolerance.
Zarif assured Qureshi that Iran "gives value" to Islamabad's efforts to establish peace in the region.
Both sides expressed satisfaction over the implementation of decisions made during Prime Minister Imran's recent visit to Iran and agreed to continue cooperation on bilateral matters.
The Iranian foreign minister also met National Assembly Speaker Qaiser where the two stressed on the importance of promoting bilateral relations between Pakistan and Iran.
Qaiser insisted that joint efforts were needed to eliminate terrorism from the region. He added that friendly relations with Iran were essential for the prosperity of the people of both countries.
Zarif said that Iran values its "historic" relations with Pakistan, adding that both countries have a similar outlook over a number of issues. He further said the Tehran considered Islamabad as its "partner" in establishing peace in the region. He stressed on the need to promote economic trade relations.
Zarif, upon his arrival in Islamabad, told IRNA that Tehran seeks stronger ties with Islamabad and that "developing strong relations with our immediate neighbours is on the top of Iranian foreign policy".
He also lashed out at US President Donald Trump for his tweet earlier this week warning Iran not to threaten the US again or it would face its "official end".
"Iran will see the end of Trump, but he will never see the end of Iran," Zarif was quoted by Iran's semi-official Fars news agency as saying as he landed in Pakistan.
Tensions have ratcheted up recently in the Mideast as the White House earlier this month sent an aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers to the region over a still-unexplained threat it perceived from Iran.
And on Thursday, the Pentagon outlined proposals to the White House to send military reinforcements to the Middle East to beef up defences against Iran.

IN the aftermath of last month's deadly sniper attack on an obstetrician in upstate New York, Attorney General Janet Reno announced last week that she was setting up a new investigative unit to examine the possibility that the doctor was the victim of a broader anti-abortion plot.
The unit, the National Clinic Violence Task Force, will include a dozen Justice Department lawyers and involve several law-enforcement agencies. But the main work of looking into the shooting of Dr. Barnett E. Slepian in his suburban Buffalo home and how it fits a larger pattern of organized violence will be done by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which has jurisdiction over domestic terrorism.
For many in the F.B.I., that's a problem.
In contrast to the old image of gung-ho F.B.I. agents turning their surveillance machinery on political groups, a number of senior F.B.I. agents privately expressed misgivings about the Attorney General's latest task force, the second she has ordered to begin a broad investigation into a conspiracy involving anti-abortion violence.
Bureau officials fear that expanding the investigation could drive the agency over the ill-defined boundary that separates inquiries into criminal activity from those into political causes and unpopular ideas.
Today's agents are eager to disassociate themselves from the old J. Edgar Hoover days of trampling the civil rights of political dissidents in the guise of serious investigations. They do not want the agency drawn into the middle of the bitter ideological war between anti-abortion groups and abortion rights advocates, who have long asserted the existence of an organized campaign against clinics and doctors. Many of those calling for Government help were once themselves subjects of F.B.I. interest as antiwar and civil rights activists.
Senior agency officials, including Director Louis J. Freeh, were starting their careers in the early 1970's and watched in dismay as the F.B.I. was shaken by revelations about Cointelpro, the counterintelligence program that allowed agents to spy on, burgle, wiretap and infiltrate antiwar and civil rights groups like Students for a Democratic Society and the Student Nonviolence Coordinating Committee.
Some officials are dubious that a conspiracy exists to kill doctors who perform abortions. They came up empty handed when Ms. Reno ordered the first Federal inquiry in 1994 after the killing of a Florida doctor and his bodyguard. The Justice Department conducted a two-year grand jury investigation; agents pursued some anti-abortion activists using surveillance teams. But investigators never found a specific plot against abortion clinics and staff members.
Violence at abortion clinics is only part of the problem. The F.B.I. has in recent years found itself thrown into a minefield of politically tinged cases involving the volatile worlds of anti-government militias, environmental and Christian extremists, white separatists, animal rights activists and Islamic fundamentalists.
In response to terrorist attacks like the bombings of the World Trade Center in 1993, the Oklahoma City Federal building in 1995 and the Olympic park in Atlanta in 1996, the agency has increased efforts to deter such incidents in a major prevention program. In such cases, the Justice Department, the F.B.I. and other law enforcement agencies said they operate under domestic security guidelines that require investigators to find a ''reasonable indication'' that a group is planning to break the law before they can open an inquiry into an organization. Before the authorities can use such intrusive tactics as wiretapping or property searches, they must have specific evidence.
Yet F.B.I. agents throughout the country have quietly evaluated the threat posed by a variety of extremist groups through its links to local authorities and informal interviews with the leaders of some groups. Their conclusion is that most of these groups pose little real danger.
Much more difficult to investigate are lone terrorists inflamed by the oratory of extremist ideology but who belong to no group, drifting along society's frayed margins, ''off the grid,'' as some agents describe it, without the usual ties to family, friends or work.
The profile fits Eric Robert Rudolph, the fugitive wanted for bombings at the Atlanta Olympics, a gay nightclub and two abortion clinics. He has kept his beliefs mostly to himself, although acquaintances hint that he was familiar with religious extremism and hate groups.
In contrast, James Charles Kopp, who is being sought as a material witness in the killing of Dr. Slepian, left a trail of clues about his motives. He was an early follower of Randall Terry, a leader of Operation Rescue. Later, Mr. Kopp was associated with the Lambs of Christ, an another militant anti-abortion group.
