The Oklahoma State Home Builders Association (OSHBA) is a well-established and respected trade association with over 2,500 members statewide. Members include builders, lenders, developers, suppliers, manufacturers, architects, engineers, real estate brokers, and other professionals serving the residential construction industry. At the core of its mission, the organization works to serve both builders and the public by defining and upholding standards for safety, quality, and professionalism in the industry and advocating for affordable housing for the citizens of Oklahoma.
The OSHBA was managing its membership data through an Access database that could only be logged into through a local computer network. Because all information was stored offline, staff could not access it except in the office and members could not log in and update their own details as needed. In addition, users could not easily access OSHBA's wealth of professional resources. Signing up for certification programs and continuing education courses also needed to be easier to accomplish. Overall, the Association sought to streamline administration and modernize the user experience to deliver greater value to their association members.
The Web Revelation team implemented an online database integrated with the Association's website to store and manage membership and user data along with class and event scheduling. This online system could be accessed by staff from any location and included self-service functionality for individual users. With a fully updated website, members also enjoyed exclusive access to resources to help them manage and grow their businesses.
In particular, the new solution showcased OSHBA's online contract creation system. The Association had worked with experienced attorneys to develop a standardized contract designed to protect the interests of builders and their customers. Having access to this customizable contract through OSHBA allows builders to easily create agreements that align with industry best practices, promote a high standard of accountability, and reduce the potential for customer disputes.
For over a decade, WebRevelation has been our website provider. They are a company of high ethics and integrity. They pay attention to detail and offer suggestions to help create an amazing website. They listen well! One of our favorite projects with them was an online contract system for our membership. WebRevelation not only can help with 'routine' website issues, they help create solutions to specific needs. We have had a very satisfying relationship and can highly recommend them.


It is all too easy to call a place a plant paradise. But, from a gardener's viewpoint, there can be few more enchanting places than Caribbean islands. Stretching in an arc from the tip of Florida to the northern coast of South America, the Caribbean archipelago is a series of delightfully varied, plant covered islands. Practically all lie within the tropics and are blessed with warm weather throughout the year. Average annual temperature is around 25°C, sunshine hours are high and most islands have at least adequate rainfall. Coupled with deep fertile volcanic soil on many islands, conditions for plant growth are superb.
While the beauty of many temperate plants can evoke wonder and admiration, tropical plants are even more inspiring. Their speed of growth, unlimited beauty and rich variety of colour and form put them in a class of their own. Most Irish gardeners are already familiar with tropical plants as many are grown in homes and conservatories. But the struggling pot-grown specimens of Codiaeum, Bougainvillea, Canna and palms in Irish living rooms, porches and lobbies of public buildings are very different from the same plants with their roots free-growing in warm moist soil and with their head in tropical sunshine.
Many aspects of Caribbean plants are impressive. Above all there is the exceptional vigour of growth throughout the year and the marked difference in flora between islands. Dominica is almost completely covered with lush rain forest including gigantic tree ferns while near-by Antiqua is much more open with wild areas of Agave, Yucca and the Turk's Cap cactus, Melocactus intortus. The difference is due primarily to topography and its influence on annual rainfall. Mountainous Dominica has an average of over 3,000 mm whereas low lying Antigua is drier, with an average rainfall of only 1,000 mm. During the wet season, moisture-laden winds drop most of their rain on the mountains leaving very little for the low lying islands. Even on one small island, the landscape may change dramatically within small areas as mangrove swamp gives way to banana plantation and coconuts replace brightly coloured tropical scrub.
There are also interesting differences between the fertile acid soils of many volcanic islands, such as St Lucia, St Vincent and St Kitts and the limy soil of Barbados and islands formed from coral. On coral islands, many plants including Hibiscus and citrus are more difficult to grow because the high levels of calcium in the soil restrict the uptake of essential minor elements such as iron and copper. Despite this, magnificent gardens can be made on coral and the gardens of Barbados are among the best in the Caribbean .
Enhancing the rich diversity of plants and landscape, many different types of gardens can be found all over the islands reflecting the region's turbulent history. In contrast to Australia, New Zealand and many other New World countries where the cultivation of plants is a relatively recent development, the Caribbean Indians have been gardening for centuries. On his first visit to the Caribbean in 1492, Columbus recorded that the Carib Indians grew maize and beans in tiny gardens around their homes. Even earlier the Arawaks, the first known settlers in the region, lived well on a diet that included fruits, nuts and vegetables, such as pineapples, guave, cashew, maize, cassava and sweet potato. Small, highly productive gardens can still be seen on many islands particularly around certain villages such as Giraudel, known as the Flower Basket of Dominica.
During the centuries following Columbus, other European explorers added further economic and ornamental plants to the rich Caribbean flora, the most notable introduction being sugar cane from the Far East . The wealth created by the export of sugar to Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries led to the development of luxurious plantation houses. Because of the drastic decline in the sugar industry, new uses had to be found for these magnificent homes with their lavish gardens and many are now open to the public.
From the early days of the ocean voyages of discovery, Europeans recognised the potential value of tropical plants such as coffee, cinnamon and nutmeg. Many of these plants have their origins in different countries but were brought to the Caribbean by Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, British and other voyagers. In the 18th and 19th centuries the general view in Europe was that nature and the colonies were there to be exploited. Colonies were regarded mainly as production farms for the mother country for crops that would not grow in Europe . This accounts for the haste to set up botanical gardens as test areas for plants that might be economically useful.
The oldest Botanical garden was established in Kingstown, St Vincent in 1763 and many others followed. Today, with their work only partly done, many of these gardens are only shells of their former glory. The once famous gardens in Grenada are now closed and little new planting has been done in the Gardens in Antigua to replace the numerous trees and shrubs destroyed by occasional hurricanes that can sweep the islands between late August and October. Fortunately excellent botanical gardens still remain such as Hope Gardens, Kingston, Jamaica ; the Jardin de Balata, Martinique and those at Kingstown, St Vincent and Roseau, Dominica .
Further twists to the story of gardening in the Caribbean came in the 20th century. During this period, many wealthy people from Europe and the United States settled in the region on account of its healthy winter climate. Some were keen gardeners and they added a whole new layer of garden styles to the existing attractions. The latest developments are the many new gardens designed specifically to cater for the burgeoning tourist trade. Recent gardens include the Orchid World of Barbados which opened in January 1999, the stunningly beautiful Mamiku Gardens, St Lucia and the spectacular Montreal Gardens, St Vincent which is being developed in the fertile crater of an extinct volcano. All are outstanding examples of gardens made with the needs of demanding tourists in mind. Apart from a wealth of astonishing plants they also include coffee shop, toilets and are wheelchair friendly.
This is arguably the most scenically spectacular of all the islands with lush mountain scenery and awesome peaks such as the twin Pitons that rise spectacularly from the sea. This island has also some of the most magnificent gardens in the whole region including Mamiku. In contrast to many of the old botanical gardens where there has been little new planting for decades, Mamiku was started only in 1997 after years of careful planning. The young age of the garden gives it a fresh and verdant appearance. Not only does the garden display a wide range of tropical natives but it is also home to temperate plants such as roses and hydrangeas. Among many noteworthy tropical plants are the red flowered banana, the Chalice vine, Solandri nitida, Red Flag, Mussaenda erythrophylla, the Orchid tree or Napoleon's Hat, Bauhinia galpinii and numerous palm trees.
Another popular attraction on St Lucia is the Diamond Botanical Garden noted for its plants, sulphur springs and colourful waterfall. The sulphur springs arise from a weak spot in the earth's crust and feed mineral baths. These were built originally in 1784 for the troops of King Louis XVI of France, so that his soldiers could benefit from the healing waters. Close to the baths there is a spectacular waterfall whose mineral-rich water changes colour – yellow, black, grey or green, several times a day – according to the minerals it contains.
The grounds are now lavishly planted with a wide range of tropical plants so that in places visitors feel that they are in a dense rain forest, albeit with the luxury of good pathways. In places the different vegetative layers of a forest are well represented with tall trees such as coconut towering over citrus and nutmeg. Many contrasting features in the gardens provide variety and interest, such as attractive lawns around an open gazebo, rock garden, shady walks and wetland dell.
This is the most easterly of the Caribbean islands. Unlike many others, it boasts no spectacular volcanic peaks but instead has a gently undulating landscape with extensive sugar cane fields dotted with picturesque villages. The island is blessed with many first class gardens and, possibly because of the island's close links with Britain, more of these are open to the public than on most Caribbean islands.
Flower Forest is situated on a picturesque elevated site, near the western edge of the Scotland District. The garden has been made in the grounds of an old sugar plantation and the large sugar boiling vats near the entrance provide an historic link with the past. The gardens cover six acres and are planted with many colourful species, such as the Copperleaf, Acalypha wilkesiana, and the Crepe Ginger, Costus speciosus. But the whole garden comes together well as a luxuriant flower forest with winding main and side paths snaking through the luxuriant plantings.
Orchid World of Barbados is a new 6.5 acre garden with tens of thousands of orchids in a beautifully landscaped setting. Each species is grown under the conditions that suit it best. This may be the open, either shaded or sunny, or in shade houses or under full protection so that the potential magnificence of each plant can be fully expressed. For example, many species of Phalaenopsis, Cattleya and Oncidium do not like rain and are grown under cover while hardier Vanda is grown in the open.
New Francia is an elegant plantation house situated on fertile sloping land overlooking the picturesque St George Valley. The terraced lawns are spacious and show off many tropical plants to good advantage. The gardens contain a fine row of the Blue Trumpet Vine, Thunbergii grandiflora and a beautiful white flowered specimen of Queen's Wreath, Petrea volubilis.
Andromeda Botanic Gardens were started in 1954 by the late Iris Bannochie. Today they are managed by the Barbados National Trust and consist of a beautifully landscaped four acre garden that tumbles down a steep hillside among coral boulders. Small outdoor garden rooms, carved into the hillside, house collections of rare bromeliads, orchids, Heliconia and other colourful plants.
The most impressive plant in Andromeda is the Jade Vine, Strongylodon macrobotrys, supported by a high pergola. One of the most spectacular of all green-flowered plants, it is festooned with long racemes of lobster claw like flowers during the dry season from February through to May. Also impressive is a hundred-year-old Bearded Fig, Ficus citrifolia, the tree that gave the island its name. A small water garden is well planted with water lilies and the sacred Lotus, Nelumbo nucifera, whose seed heads are beloved by flower arrangers.
In contrast to Barbados, Grenada is a volcanic island, renowned for its lush green mountains and its production of spices including cloves, nutmeg. ginger, cinnamon and mace. Dawn Fletcher's garden is noted for its Bougainvillea and Croton collections but many other colourful plants are also grown including Nerium oleander, Alamanda carthartica and Vanda orchids. The garden also contains an attractive Crape Myrtle tree, Lagerstroemia indica, easily recognized by its stiff, rod like branches that are directed upwards and its dense panicles of purplish pink flowers at the ends of the branches.
Like Grenada, St Vincent is a volcanic island with rugged mountain terrain, steep narrow roadways, lush forests and small houses, many with beautifully planted surroundings. Montreal Gardens, now under new ownership, are being developed for visitors on a grand scale with many novel features being integrated with the best of the original amenities. The gardens are superbly sited – inside the fertile crater of an old volcano, whose rim provides an attractive backdrop to the gardens. In addition to the display of all the most popular tropical plants, Montreal Gardens are noteworthy for the skilful way ground cover plants are grouped according to their flower and leaf colour.
Christened by Columbus as St Christopher (St Kitts for short) in 1493, this fertile island is volcanic in origin and has rich, fertile, lava-type soils. St Kitts does not have the same large areas of lush rainforest as Dominica but it has the distinction of being one of the few areas in the world where rainforest is expanding at present. Romney Manor Gardens were badly hit by Hurricane Georges in late September1998 but renovation started immediately the wind had dropped. Helped by the tropical climate and volcanic soil, recovery was rapid. The remarkable recuperative powers of tropical plants is well illustrated by the avenue of Royal Palms, Roystonea caribbea, which was almost leafless in October 1999 but had virtually made a full recovery by April 1999.
Initially tourism in the Caribbean was based on the splendid scenery, sandy beaches and benign climate for most of the year. Forty years ago, only the wealthy could afford a Caribbean holiday, mainly island hopping by yacht. But travel costs have come down and tourist operators are now offering holidays that appeal to garden and plant lovers. Not all islands with superb gardens are good holiday destinations. The magnificent island of St Maarten, with its beautiful green, concave slopes, sandy, tortuous coastline and tax free bargains is home to many fine houses and gardens. But many residents, including Harry Bellefonte, have gone to St Maarten for privacy, their gardens are protected by high walls and are not open to the public.
For gardeners interested in tropical plants, the Caribbean has many advantages. Health risks are much lower than in most other tropical regions and the practice of opening gardens to the public is well established. The gift of pineapple fruits from Indians on the island of Guadaloupe to Columbus on his second voyage in 1493 indicates the region's long tradition for the exchange of plants and information – a tradition that looks set to continue.

My Thoughts on the NYC Marathon
November 3, 2012 By Toni Church
I have access to internet!!!! This post may be a little late but I could not upload it because I did not have access to the internet. I have holed up at my Mother-in-laws house which has power and most recently TV and internet. Sadly, I am still without power but it could be worse. Here are my thoughts on the NYC marathon:
This week Long Island, NYC, NJ, and many other areas were devastated by hurricane Sandy. I was fortunate to come out mostly unscathed, with the exception of a large downed tree in my backyard and no power. My fortune did not extend to the many other people that lost their homes and some their lives during the hurricane.
I can say that I have never experienced anything like this in my entire life. Long Island is utter chaos with major traffic lights out and people waiting on mile long lines for gas. I was in Oceanside today and it was utter devastation, my heart goes out to all these people who lost so much in the blink of an eye.
Throughout this devastation I cannot express how disgusted I was in the fact that Mayor Bloomberg decided to continue on with the NYC Marathon. I was set to run this marathon up until about a month ago when I developed a stress fracture and many would say because I was not running, it is easy for me to say just cancel it. The fact is I have thought about this long and hard and any way you look at it, this marathon should not take place during all the devastation.
Valuable resources like the city's police department should not be taken away from their recovery efforts for hurricane Sandy to facilitate a marathon. Roads that can be used for emergency vehicles should not be closed for a marathon. Generators, food, blankets should be used for people who have lost their homes and their power rather than 30,000 plus runners.
I feel for the runners, but I feel that the areas devastated by this hurricane need all of the resources available and that running a marathon instead of focusing on them is just wrong. If I were able to run this race, I absolutely wouldn't. I was left with so much disgust at the situation that I was not even going to run this race next year, but I was going to pick another marathon to be my first.
As of 11/2/12, after all the controversy of hosting this race, Mayor Bloomberg decided to cancel after all. The right decision has been made, although it should have been made days ago, everyone's efforts can now be focused on Hurricane Sandy's recovery.
I feel for all the runner's that have made the trip to NYC for this race and for all those hoping to run it but couldn't, but I feel that the people devastated by Hurricane Sandy should come first. There will always be another marathon, but these people need help now and that help should not be impacted by a race that shuts down many portions of NYC.
My thoughts and prayers are with all the people that have been devastated by this Hurricane.
Hold your loved ones close because life can change in a blink of an eye.
What are your thoughts on the NYC Marathon???

I agree with you but what makes me angry is that they waited too long to cancel it. A co-worker of mine had to spend over a thousand dollars to rebook after it was announced it was going ahead. Another friend of mine flew in from London. Mayor B made a huge mistake by giving hope to those runners when we knew it was a bad decision. There are other races, true, but what a mess he created when it could have been avoided.
Toni Church says
They absolutely should have cancelled from the beginning! I feel terrible for all the people who travelled here for nothing.
Gigi says
I agree 100%. Even down to the part of boycotting future races, just a few hours before I found out it was cancelled I was talking to my husband about how NYC Marathon is one of the bucket list races especially being a life long NYer but if they did not cancel would I never run that race but I would also never run any NYRR races either. Would then even notice my absence? Not even slightly but I couldn't fathom why it was still going on.

The wouldn't have noticed me either but I am sure we would not have been the only ones. Hope you are doing good and your power returns soon.
Thanks it looks like it will be a few more days (weeks?) but we are lucky we have our home intact and great friends who are putting us up until we can return to it.
Hikermom says
I totally agree. The mayor should have cancelled it way sooner so that people didn't spend the money to travel there just to be disappointed:(

Nick Craig says
I agree with your point of view, but also wanted to share something I read earlier today, just to illustrate that it is not such an easy decision to make. The below was written by Toby Tanser (a NYC running legend) and I think it illustrates how difficult of a decision this really is:
So, I sit here with about 400-emails to answer. To runners who signed up to do this race, the majority who signed up not just to run, but to raise money for a purpose. Who then, when they heard, or saw firsthand Hurricane Sandy AGAIN donated. Runners; the changemakers. To the ones who saved up for years, like the A
borigines group with Rob De Castella – a once in a lifetime experience, how can we apologize? To the man whose dying daughter gave me an entry to this year's marathon who has raised thousands for cancer research. To runners in a whole who have raised a mind boggling 650-million for Cancer research…
Sunday will come and Sunday will go – as if it was a Saturday.
No resources are being shifted that aren't needed– who knows better than Bloomberg, you or I? The Red Cross are saying "We don't need more volunteers, we need money," and that is what the runners were doing. Who was listening to the Red Cross?
Raising Dollars — in the first day near to $3-million before the fanfare started… All these people who are shouting, "We're going on a clean up on Sunday instead on running" – where were you on the day of the hurricane, or the day after… Why do you have to wait to Sunday for a Clean up?
We, as a city, voted Mayor Bloomberg to make the executive decisions; he spoke with the police, the fireman, all the city agencies who repeatedly said, "This will be good for NYC."
I can not tell you how many Firemen I met at the expo who were looking forward to this race, who were excited for this race… Anyway, many problems are deeper lying than the obvious… but as a Board Member of the NYRR I know I have to apologize to each and everyone of these runners. I hear all your stories and I feel pain. Am truly sorry. Every story I hear makes me feel terrible, and I know the pains, trials and tribulations you took to arrive to get to this day. What a sad resolution
Also found a great link http://aleksruns.com/2012/11/02/breaking-nycm-cancelled-after-all/ showing a
map of volunteer stations in NYC for all interested in giving a helping hand.
Thank you for sharing! I think we all jump to our own conclusions quickly so I think it is great to hear other perspectives! Deep down I still think canceling was the right thing to do.
Mindy Artze says
I agree Toni. The problem was that they didn't tell the runners immediately. How stupid it was to think that this could go on…. Bloomberg didn't make the right call when it was needed. God bless the runners who didn't know and the people of NY!
Mindy Artze recently posted..November Goals! And Chickbands giveaway!
He should have never said that it was definitely on, I feel for all the runner's who traveled for the race…..
Thank you Nick for sharing this. Like Toni said it is good to hear all sides. I have a bunch of friends that were running this locally and who traveled in who were all very disappointed.
lauriewalksfast says
I agree it should have been cancelled. My BFF works in NY State Disaster Preparedness and when she told me she had been in the bunker for 14-16 hour days and expected 3-4 weeks more, I knew how bad NY had it. I am glad it was cancelled, even if there was heartbreak for the runners.
lauriewalksfast recently posted..They made the right call
I feel horrible for the runners especially the ones who travelled here but in the end I think it was the right decision.

Five is One
Interview by Mitch Lafon
Original Alice Cooper band bassist Dennis Dunaway has just released a great new album called 'Bones From The Yard' under the Dennis Dunaway Project moniker. He speaks candidly about why the Alice Cooper band broke-up and the upcoming "reunion" show (on Dec 16th in Phoenix, Arizona) with Alice and the other two surviving members of The Alice Cooper group (Michael Bruce and Neal Smith).
Mitch Lafon: How is it going to feel playing the Pudding show in December with Neal, Michael and Alice?
Dennis Dunaway: It'll be fun providing everybody's equipment is working.
ML: Would you like to do more shows or record a new album with Alice?
DD:"Alice is the one that has to call the shot on that. He's the one that has not wanted to do it all these years and we've always wanted to. I figure if it was going to happen, it would have happened years ago. So, I don't think it's going to happen. How many times can you ask somebody and have it not happen before you realize that it's really not going to happen?
ML: What made The Alice Cooper band unique other than just the theatrics?
DD: The image was different to anything that was happening then. The stage show was different other than just the theatrical presentation. It was the first time a band ever took a stage and their own lights on the road. Nobody did that before us. You just showed up and if the stage and lights were good – you were happy. But if it was crappy – you had to work with what the promoter supplied. That's how it was even for The Beatles and Hendrix. We started taking our own lights on the road and that made a big impact; the visuals of the band made people not realize the extent of the light show, but it was extremely elaborate and ahead of its time.
ML: Did you ever get frustrated that the stage show sometimes overshadowed the musicianship of the band?
DD: Yeah, it was frustrating when it wasn't balanced. We were putting out two albums a year and coming up with an elaborate stage show. We hardly had a day off and when we did we worked on music. We'd work for months on these new songs, record them, work up this whole show, go out and play and then somebody would write about 'the snake'. But that was part of our creation as well (laughs). It was the imbalance of it. I didn't mind people talking about the stage show because we created that as well as the music and the music was always number one.
ML: When the band went its separate ways – was it really a question of the band wanting to cut back on the stage show and concentrating on music while Alice wanted to take the theatrics further?
DD: No, that's not true. We are the ones that thought of the theatrical ideas. When we did the Battle Axe show that was probably the most elaborate show we've ever done. That was something to make it seem like there was a reason for the band to be shed.
ML: What really happened then?
DD: We were working more than any band out there. We were putting out two albums a year and the bookings... we'd record a track in the studio go out and do a couple of live gigs and come back to the studio to lay down another track. It was just that busy and it's hard to keep up that pace. When it was time to re-negotiate our contract with Warner Bros.... bands rarely made money on their first recording contract. It's only if you managed to still be popular enough to have clout to re-negotiate or go shopping to other record labels (that you made money), and as that was approaching wedges started to come into play and it was made miserable for the band members. The more we rebelled against it – the more we were made to look like we were being unreasonable. Low and behold the new contract was re-negotiated and split two ways rather than seven ways (we all had had equal pay plus the two managers – so that seven people would have enjoyed the fruits of their labours after so many years). But the contract was re-negotiated on behalf of two people rather than seven.
ML: How did you feel when Alice moved on without the band and started making new albums? How was it to hear Flush The Fashion or the song 'Poison' in later years? Did you think it could have sounded better if you had played on them?
DD: Well, musicians are notorious for thinking that (laughs). I was busy working on my own music and hiding out in my basement. I was pretty bitter with the whole situation, so there's no way I could listen to it objectively.
ML: Can you today?
DD:"I'm too busy writing music and working on ideas for stage and things like that. It's not like I hide Alice's solo albums in the closet and never dig'em out. I dig'em out once in a while, but as far as sitting down and listening to the old Alice Cooper albums... I'll do that if I have a gig coming up and I'm going to play the songs. It's not something I put on for enjoyment necessarily.
ML: I noticed you called them 'Alice's solo albums'.
DD: We've gotten into the habit of calling it the Alice Cooper Band or Alice Cooper Group, but really Alice Cooper means five people. Alice was a vital part of that band – no question, but it was the name of the band and it wasn't the name of any individual and it was intended to be shared equally as all of the creativity came from all five. The rewards were intended to be shared by five.

async-timeout
=============

asyncio-compatible timeout context manager.

Usage example
-------------

The context manager is useful in cases when you want to apply timeout
logic around block of code or in cases when ``asyncio.wait_for()`` is
not suitable. Also it's much faster than ``asyncio.wait_for()``
because ``timeout`` doesn't create a new task.

The ``timeout(timeout, *, loop=None)`` call returns a context manager
that cancels a block on *timeout* expiring::

       with timeout(1.5):
           yield from inner()

1. If ``inner()`` is executed faster than in ``1.5`` seconds nothing
   happens.
2. Otherwise ``inner()`` is cancelled internally by sending
   ``asyncio.CancelledError`` into but ``asyncio.TimeoutError`` is
   raised outside of context manager scope.

*timeout* parameter could be ``None`` for skipping timeout functionality.

Installation
------------

::

   $ pip install async-timeout

The library is Python 3 only!

Authors and License
-------------------

The module is written by Andrew Svetlov.

It's *Apache 2* licensed and freely available.

Guten tag, again. If you missed our last episode, you can read Part 1 here, or scoll down if it's on the same Web page at the moment.
Within hours, I received some venom-enriched hate mail that proves what I'm saying about the intolerance and emotionalism of Darwinists. It was a personal attack, including my religious beliefs (which is pretty low of them), but there was no "religion" in my previous article!
Evolutionism as a world view has led to a host of problems. It has led to a loss of faith because people chose to believe in the philosophy of evolution. "Survival of the fittest" is a frequent excuse for economic and social injustices. It leads to a liberal view of euthanasia and abortion. Eugenics, the sterilization and extermination of the "unfit" people of the world fits Darwinism. Marxism is hard-core Darwinism applied politically.
So is Nazism. Hitler was a devout Darwinist, and thought that he was doing the world a favor by eliminating the unfit and building a perfect race. He wanted to apply Darwinism to society, and "create the new man".
I'm not saying that evolutionists are Marxists or Nazis, don't misunderstand me. I'm saying that those philosophies go hand-in-hand with Darwinsim.
With this prevailing viewpoint comes the suppression of scientific freedom ("You cannot believe in or promote Intelligent Design"), and is not only growing, but dominating rational thought in society today. We get evolution crammed down our throats at every turn. Watch a science channel and it is spouted as absolute fact, with none of the flaws presented. And yet, there is no "equal time" for those of us who want to present Intelligent Design as a valid scientific alternative.
Evolutionists actually want to eradicate Intelligent Design. I have had discussions in person and online with people who belive it's their duty to eliminate "religion" from public life. Amazing. If they cannot have religion completely removed, they want to "put it in its proper place" so it won't bother anyone. Richard "Daffy" Dawkins hates any concept of God, and wants to see him eliminated. (Dawkins is a lousy philosopher.) It's not that the evidence is nonexistent for Intelligent Design. Instead, evolutionists are unwilling to believe the evidence (or even allow a presentation of it) because it threatens their world view.
Too bad that common sense is not scientific, because I feel that I have to put my own observations, questions and sensibilities on the shelf in order to believe in the blind, gibbering, mad god of random chance and natural selection; evolution is intellectual castration.
America, with it's Judeo-Christian ethic, has a long history of helping the helpless and the oppressed. We have charities for medical purposes, for housing, for feeding the hungry. We help victims of natural and political disasters all around the world. What if we say, "Tough rocks, Roland? Survival of the fittest, so you can just die so the strong can continue"?
The logical conclusions of Darwinism are alarming. The discussions of scientific alternatives are strongly forbidden.
Addendum April 28, 2009: Thomas Brewton has a chilling reminder of how this comes together in modern society and politics. Click here.
There may be a Part 3 to this, I'm not sure yet. If there is, it will be about the logical fallacies that I encounter when dealing with evolutionists.


Waiting for our friend to pick us up and take us to the airport, we are about to embark on a month-long adventure in Paris. For a short time, we are going to live like the French in an apartment in the 16th arrondissement. I am ready to eat croissants, drink wine, roam little side streets, visit the markets, and enjoy life in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

El castillo de la Trinidad corona la punta que cierra la bahía interior del golfo de Rosas (provincia de Gerona, Cataluña, España). Situado en la punta de la Poncella, sobre el faro, a unos 60 metros sobre el nivel del mar. El topónimo proviene de una ermita construida en el año 1508, que fue destruida, junto con una torre de defensa que se alzaba en la zona, cuando se construyó el castillo.

El emperador Carlos I mandó construirlo con anterioridad a la construcción de la Ciudadela de Rosas. Las obras se iniciaron el 2 de enero de 1544 y se terminaron a mediados 1551. El autor del proyecto fue el Capitán General de Artillería Luis Pizaño.

Es Bien de Interés Cultural desde 1988.

Descripción
Es un castillo de reducida extensión y su planta es muy irregular, tiene la forma de una estrella de cinco puntas desiguales, con las aristas muy anguladas y un apéndice que cubría la puerta principal.

Era una construcción pensada para albergar una guarnición de unos 350 hombres. Disponía de dos cisternas y almacenes de reservas que podían contener lo necesario para largos periodos de tiempo.

La construcción era de muros robustos, de cinco metros de espesor, y un parapeto de dos metros de grosor. Su altura era de unos 18 a 20 metros. En la parte más alta del castillo había un espacio trapezoidal llamado caballero, capaz de contener unas seis piezas de artillería de calibre grueso. En el interior había bóvedas a prueba de bombas, destinadas al alojamiento del estado mayor. Al pie de este caballero había un frente de fortificación muy pequeño con su revellín delante. La parte del norte la cubría una de las casas del baluarte de San Francisco de Paula, y el flanco, que figuraba una terraza con un gran espacio intermedio, era ocupado por dos edificios: uno para provisión de pólvora y otro (de tres pisos) que servía de alojamiento y para almacenar víveres.

Había otro baluarte, llamado de Santa Tecla, al que seguía un muro de contención que cubría la parte de mediodía de dicho caballero. Ante este baluarte, más bajo que este había una contraguardia con un almacén y al mismo nivel que ésta se encontraba un pequeño baluarte llamado de Santa Bárbara.

En conjunto, el fuerte estaba dividido en tres pisos de plataformas, descubiertas hacia el mar, cubiertas de las alturas del Puig Rom, que le dominaban, por un muro muy grueso que servía de espigón en la más elevada; las otras, por la disposición en anfiteatro iban cubriendo cada una por la inmediata superior. Estas plataformas, orientadas hacia el mar, servían de asiento para los cañones; eran, pues, verdaderas baterías de costa. Los fosos estaban abiertos en la roca viva y la puerta de la banda de montaña estaba cubierta por una renta de mampostería, tres rastrillos y un cuerpo de guardia.

Restauración

Estos últimos años el conjunto ha sido objeto de una reconstrucción total que ha destruido buena parte de los valores históricos y documentales del monumento. La actuación se ha hecho con la connivencia del consistorio de Rosas y siguiendo un proyecto del arquitecto de Olot Miguel Capdevila y Bassols. Concretamente, se ha procedido a extraer todo el derribo, que ha sido arrojado a un vertedero (contraviniendo la Ley del Patrimonio Histórico Español, que exige su utilización) y se ha construido un edificio de nueva planta, dado que no se ha respetado ni siquiera su fisonomía original (sólo se han rehecho dos de las tres plataformas originales y no se ha recuperado su compartimentación interior). Asimismo, la elección de materiales utilizados, en su mayoría cemento armado, casan poco con los restos conservados, de forma que le dan una estética más propia de un búnker que de un castillo renacentista.

Mapping Texas: From Frontier to the Lone Star State Opening Jan. 27th at Houston Museum of Natural Science
AUSTIN - Today Commissioner George P. Bush announced the Texas General Land Office will lend 50 maps of Texas, representing more than 400 years of its history, to the Houston Museum of Natural Science for a nine-month exhibition opening January 27, 2017. Mapping Texas: From Frontier to the Lone Star State opens just in time to welcome visitors to Houston for Super Bowl LI.
"People from all over the world will be converging on Houston for Super Bowl LI on February 5," said Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush. "While in Houston, they will have the chance to see why 'everything is bigger in Texas,' when they visit the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Through this exhibit, showing more than 400 years of Texas cartographic history, visitors will have the opportunity to see the formation of Texas, from an unnamed frontier in the New World, to a small outpost of New Spain, to the huge, bustling state that now leads the nation. Residents and visitors will be able to visualize how the fourth largest city in the U.S., Houston, and the third most populous county in the U.S., Harris County, grew into an economic powerhouse because of the Houston Ship Channel and the growth of railroads in the region."
Mapping Texas: From Frontier to the Lone Star State will be in the Hamill Gallery and feature maps dating between 1513-1920. The works in this exhibition are mainly from the archival collection of the Texas General Land Office and Houston map collectors Frank and Carol Holcomb. Additionally, there are items on loan from the Witte Museum in San Antonio and the Bryan Museum in Galveston.
"This exhibition is a wonderful partnership among multiple institutions and private individuals," said Commissioner Bush. "It is important to me, as the steward of both the Alamo and the 36 million documents and maps in the General Land Office archives, to preserve and provide public access to Texas history. Through exhibits like this, we are able to show why Texas has a history that sets us apart. This exhibit is one way to bring Texas history to life. Tens-of-thousands of people will be able see Texas history, and view these brilliant works of art up close."
This exhibit illustrates how centuries of political changes shaped Texas, with an emphasis on the fact that in order for a place to be claimed, it needed to first be mapped. Mapping Texas features many of the most important, influential, and rare maps of Texas, the United States, and North America.
Some of the maps presented in this exhibit include Martin Waldseemüller's 1513Tabula Terre Nove, one of the earliest maps of the Americas; Paolo Forlani's Discoveries of New France (1566), an early view of North America; Thomas Jefferys's The Western Coast of Louisiana and the Coast of New Leon(1775), one of the first modern maps of the Texas Coast; and Alexander Von Humboldt's 1809 General Map of the Kingdom of New Spain, which was highly influential in the mapping of Texas and the American west.
Also on display are oversized maps of Texas including a copy of Stephen F. Austin's 1837 Connected Map of Austin's Colony; a one-of-a-kind manuscript map documenting the boundary between the U.S. and the Republic of Texas, when it was first surveyed in 1841, which is over 14-feet long; the largest ever lithographed map of Texas, the 8 ft. x 8 ft. Pressler and Langermann Map of the State of Texas from 1879;and many more.

The difference between client-side and server-side header bidding
Trish Manrique December 3, 2020 Ad Ops
Header bidding is a large component of programmatic advertising. Less than ten years ago, it was unheard of, but now, about 79% of publishers are using header bidding. So what is header bidding? Header bidding is a programmatic advertising technique that allows publishers to offer their inventory to multiple ad exchanges simultaneously before sending requests to ad servers (ie. Google Ad Manager).
Within header bidding, there are two types of implementation methods that a publisher can choose — client-side and server-side. In this blog post, we take a look at each implementation method and analyze the pros and cons of each type. Before we begin, let's break down what a header bidding wrapper is since both implementations use a "wrapper." A wrapper, also known as a container or framework, is JavaScript code that organizes all demand partners and sets out rules for the auction like a specific timeout period. The wrapper also ensures that all demand partners bid requests are triggered at the same time.
Now, let's dive in!
What is client-side header bidding?
Client-side (or browser-side) header bidding involves adding a piece of JavaScript to a publisher's website in between the tags. This code executes each time a page loads and sends an ad request(s) to a number of demand partners. Then, bids start coming in from their demand partners, with the highest bidder winning the auction and serving their ad.
How does client-side header bidding work?
A user opens their web browser and types in the publisher's URL.
The browser starts loading the page.
The header-bidding JavaScript code located in between the tags executes and sends a request to the third-party header platform.
Bids from various sources start coming in.
The highest bidder wins and is passed to the publisher's ad server.
The winner from the header-bidding auction competes with a publisher's direct deals.
The ad server selects the highest bidder and the ad is served (displayed on the page).
What is server-side header bidding?
In server-side header bidding, requests are sent from a central server rather than directly from the user's browser. It offers publishers all the advantages of header bidding, but at the same time saves them from many of the problems that come with it, such as latency.
How does server-side header bidding work?
The header-bidding JavaScript code located in between the tags executes and sends a request to the server-side header bidding vendor.
The server then sends out bids to multiple demand sources.
How are they different from each other?
Client-side header bidding (or browser-side header bidding) involves adding a piece of JavaScript to a publisher's website in between the tags. The code then executes each time the page loads and sends an ad request(s) to a number of demand partners. Then, bids start coming in from DSPs via SSPs and ad exchanges, with the highest bidder winning the auction.
As previously mentioned, server-to-server header bidding involves requests being sent from a server rather than directly from the user's browser. A publisher is still required to add a piece of JavaScript to their website in between tags, but instead of requests being sent from the publisher's website and the website hosting the bidding process, a server hosts the auction and manages the bids. This improves the header bidding process for a number of reasons – one of them being reduced latency which we'll go into in the next section.

What are the pros and cons of each implementation?
CLIENT-SIDE HB SERVER-SIDE HB
PROS Cookie matching
Client-side header bidding has the ability to identify users allowing advertisers to run targeted and retargeted ad campaigns, which ultimately results in more revenue for publishers.
Control and transparency
By using a wrapper, publishers can easily add and remove demand sources and set bid timeouts. This also gives the publisher the opportunity to see who is bidding and when.
Client-side header bidding is the go-to implementation for many publishers and advertisers, so there are many ad partners and demand partners who can easily work with this implementation. Reduced latency
With server-to-server header bidding, latency is significantly reduced by moving the header-bidding process off the browser and into a server. The latency may be improved by just a few milliseconds, but the difference is big enough to matter in the overall user experience.
Works better for videos and rich media
Videos and rich media are already slow to load so switching to server-side can improve the user experience when loading these types of ads.
More demand partners bidding
While browsers have a limited number of network connections they can make at one time, you can set server-side header bidding to send bid requests to as many buyers as the publisher wants. For a publisher, this means better ad yield and higher fill rates.
CONS Latency
Client-side header bidding adds a number of scripts in the page header, meaning page-load times get longer and may negatively affect the user experience and result in fewer impressions loaded.
Duplicate bids
If a publisher connects to multiple header partners, there is a risk in offering the same impression for sale multiple times, which can lead to duplicate bid processing. This can also happen in the server-side implementation, albeit less frequently.
Limited ad requests
There are only so many requests a browser can make at one time, meaning the number of ad requests sent from the client-side header-bidding wrapper is going to be limited to around a dozen or so. Lack of control and transparency
While the floor price in an auction is set by the publisher, the publisher can't choose the buyers. The auction process remains "hidden" on the server. With client-side implementation, publishers can choose the buyers using the header-bidding wrappers. However, server-side doesn't offer such transparency for publishers.
If a publisher connects to multiple header partners, there is a risk in offering the same impression for sale multiple times, which can lead to duplicate bid processing. This typically happens more frequently in the client-side implementation.
Harder to identify users
Server-side header bidding lacks cookie matching, as most user data is filtered when moved to a server.
Which solution is better for publishers?
The choice between client-side and server-side header bidding is a decision unique to each publisher. Client-side header bidding offers greater control and monetization for standard formats, but lacks in user experience due to latency issues. Whereas, server-side header bidding offers a better user experience as latency issues are minimized, but potential risks arise from a lack of control and transparency, with reduced match rates. As both implementations come with their own advantages and disadvantages, the best way forward for a publisher is to see what works best for them.

Who said plants don't have character or personalities? We humans are all different, unique and so are the different plant varieties. A cactus is totally different from a fern in so many ways. One of its uniqueness is its location, where it comes from, another is its RNA its set of genes and of course we can't forget its nurturing set of circumstances as it was growing. Ya, given this information…if we replaced our name instead of the cactus or fern, we'd probably have an idea of our characteristics and personality.
So we all are different and we act differently in certain situations. Plant varieties are the very same and they will act differently in different circumstances in your office. Some are showy and bright but don't last too long, others are stallworths, but a little stand-offish, just until you get to know them.
But if you're looking to get that promotion, there are certain characteristics you need to employ to prove to yourself and show to everyone else that you got what it takes. So take a lead form three of the best of the plant world, and you won't go wrong.
Place this plant on your desk or if you've some space get a larger specimen plant and put it beside your desk, this plant will get you noticed! It's a fabulously handsome plant, with large green shiny leaves that draw the eye toward its good looks. People can't help looking at it and admiring its qualities. Here are its qualities that will get you promoted.
The fiddle leaf fig is a hard worker and ambitious plant producing up to 1-meter in growth and adding10 new rugged leaves in one year. This is quite impressive and surely implies substance to add that alluring strong style. The fiddle leaf fig will give loads of value for the place it occupies in your office. It does its job without looking for attention. So take its lead, be confident have belief in yourself and your abilities and take on responsibilities, be that team player.
The first minute you see a cactus you know what you're dealing with. It doesn't tell you how wonderful it is, or charm you with a bit of nonsense. No it doesn't, its sharp and to the point and it tells you the bad news the truth, right away. "It's darn hot boss and it's going to get hotter" but here is the data, the facts the figures and this is what we're doing to fix the problem and get on top of the situation. Here are the qualities that will get you promoted.
No right thinking plant would grow in a desert where it's so hot that its leaves shrivel up and turn into sharp spines. Somewhere, where the wind blows 40 °C and it only rains a little once every year. But cacti do and they have challenged convention thinking and solved the hardest problem on earth. And they've done it with simple facts and figures. They have grown amazing shapes where only half of the plant is every facing the sun, the cooler side is where their water is stored. So take its lead, make sure your boss is aware of a serious issue, tell her how you're solving the problem and give her time to prepare a course of action. Ah ha.. problem solved.
This plant builds networks everywhere, whether in a green wall or on the top of a storage unit it wants to build relationships. Therefore effortlessly it stretches out its strong stems and fetching foliage and says "let's build rapport – let's get to know each other" The Solomon's Ivy is so good at building networks that NASA has begun to study it, and found that its leaves are very effective at eliminating formaldehyde and carbon monoxide from the air. Here are the qualities that will get you promoted.
The Solomon's Ivy shows leadership by networking with those in higher and lower positions than itself. In only one year its vines will grow and reach out beyond 2-meters in any direction. Networking is about kindness, mutual support and growth. So take its lead, reach out and quietly mentor someone in a lower position. And don't be afraid to ask for support from your bosses when needed. Remember - Those who get things done are people who know people.


In My Book: It's R.I.P. VIII Time!
You have a great stack. I love The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and I really want to read Titus Groan.
I've heard a lot about The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, so I'm looking forward!
I also have been wanting to read Titus Groan for ages. I haven't gotten around to it for some reason. There are so many books!
I've read about this event in the past, but never taken part; however, right now I'm thinking this will be what I want to do as well! I already picked my books last night and will write my post before September 1st. Thanks for the information!
Carl's events are always fun, and I hope you'll enjoy it!
The Ransom Riggs book was good. I think the sequel is out soon. I should check on that!
Welcome!!! Love having first timers, especially when they have fun and come back! :) You have some great choices. I really enjoyed Miss Peregrine and am very much looking forward to the sequel. The Castle of Otranto is good, fun melodramatic gothic fare, as I suspect is Udolpho. I think I read Sleepy Hollow when I as in elementary school but remember little of the story. I've seen the Tim Burton film so many times that I cannot picture much else when I hear the title.
I've heard a lot of funny things about both Udolpho and Otranto, so I guess they will be more funny than scary :) I need to check the Tim Burton film out after I finish the book!

Philhellenism the fascination with the artwork, politics, faith and society of old Greece- is a strong and compelling phenomenon in German tradition and highbrow historical past, making a language and a sequence of key rules that have been to exert a continuing effect on German proposal, aesthetics and politics good into the 20 th century. during this booklet Valdez examines the 1st new release of German Philhellenes from Winckelmann to Goethe. He exhibits how German Philhellenism was once torn among the hunt for a historic entire that may clarify and surround Greek excellence, and the will to include person features of Greece in a much wider moral and inventive company, and eventually, to provide it a spot within the historical past of freedom itself. Valdez additionally indicates that German philhellenic rules grew out of a discussion with French and British principles and historiography. He charts how the fascination with Greek antiquity used to be mirrored in theatre and literature and the way the longings and idealisation of Philhellenes clashed with the extra serious and sober historians of the Enlightenment. The ebook additionally explains how the hunt for the old truth of philhellenic beliefs created extreme emotional and ideological conflicts concerning the certain nature of male friendship in historic Greece and in regards to the place of girls in historic Athens.

Iran's air defenses intercept three US aircraft
by Emad AlmarshahiSeptember 12, 2020Add comment
Iran's military says it has intercepted three US aircraft that had intruded into the country's Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in violation of rules that regulate large-scale naval exercises, Press TV Reported.
According to Press TV, the military said, in a statement on Friday, that the aircraft, including P-8 Poseidon and MQ-9 and RQ-4 drones, were intercepted by a domestically-manufactured Karrar turbojet-powered drone.
On the second day of the exercises, dubbed Zolfaqar-99, the three aircraft entered the ADIZ while they had already been monitored by the Iranian integrated air defense network from kilometers away, the statement said.
It noted that the intruding aircraft were intercepted after they ignored warnings to stay away from the drills area.
The Iranian military said the aircraft veered away and left the drills area after the Karrar drone was launched.
The three-day exercises kicked off on Thursday under the command of the Army's Zolfaqar base, with observers from the Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base in attendance.
The drills cover an area of two million square kilometers in the eastern waters of the Strait of Hormuz near the Persian Gulf, Makran coast, the Sea of Oman and the northern Indian Ocean up to 10 degrees north.
On the second day of the maneuvers, the Army's coastline missile sites fired the Qader anti-ship cruise missile, successfully destroying a mock enemy vessel more than 200 kilometers from the coast.
The Nasr anti-ship cruise missile was also fired from Iran's Najm missile boat, destroying its designated target in the country's southern waters.
The Kaman-12 drone, which is the Iranian Army's first combat drone, also conducted surveillance operations within the perimeter of the maneuvers.
With a pin-point attack capability, the Karrar is a strategic combat drone which can deliver payloads comparable to manned aircraft.
Prior to the drills, American and all other extra-regional military aircraft were warned to avoid the exercise zone, resulting in a noticeable shift in behavior of the American UAVs operating in the area.
