How can my life bring glory and honor to God?
For centuries, believers in the Lord Jesus Christ understood the biblical doctrines that place the focus on God — not man. For One Books publishes books designed to reacquaint Christians with these doctrines that have been all but lost in our post-modern mankind-centered world. While we are certainly the beneficiaries of God's redemptive plan, we need to understand that His plan is first and foremost for His glory. The Bible was written for us — but it is about God.
Likewise, we hope you benefit from the books published here — but they were written for the sole purpose of bringing glory to God. They were written for One.
Lord of the Law tries to answer these questions (and more) from a biblical perspective — with the hope of clearing up a lot of common misconceptions about what God's Word says on this topic.
Evolution and Creationism clash once again in the tiny town of Hillsboro, where the proponents of evolution intend to make an example of a young science teacher who refuses to ignore evidence pointing to the possibility of a creator. Strong legal power is brought to bear in an effort to set a legal precedent that would influence American courts for years to come in what the media calls the "Monkey Trial II." The only thing in the way is a local attorney with a questionable past and the strength to stand on conviction.
If you've ever wondered whether God is a God of love or a God of wrath, whether or not God knows everything, or if God changes, then this book is for you. Written in a style that is suitable for older children, youth, and even adults, "What is God Like?" is a creative introduction to the character of God and doesn't shy away from the tough questions. It is an engaging and entertaining introduction to the doctrine of God.

New York City: Photo safaris
Max Behrman
To tour the 23 square miles of Manhattan, you can roam by bus, pedicab, horse-drawn carriage…trust me, the list goes on. But have you ever considered going on a "photo safari" of the city? It's essentially a walking tour led by a pro photographer, who helps you capture the most compelling shots possible.
There are two types of photo safaris: Either the photographer takes pictures of you and your friends at landmarks around the city, or the expert teaches you how to shoot memorable photos. In other words, the tours differ mainly in who is behind the lens: you or the tour guide.
Here are some tours to consider:
Allan Einhorn, a native New Yorker, runs Photo Walking Tours of NYC. Choose the neighborhood(s) you photograph, and you'll get about two or three hours to explore. Popular sites include Chinatown, Little Italy, the Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, and the South Street Seaport.
Einhorn's tours can include up to six travelers, and all he asks is that you have "a reasonable understanding" of how your camera works before you tour with him. He also provides you with a written handout of "12 Tips for Taking Better Photographs" to aid you on your photo shoot. Fees run you around $75 to $120 for the first two photographers-in-training, and an extra $15 to $25 for each additional traveler. If you own an SLR, bring it along to make the lessons that much more in-depth. But don't be discouraged if your camera is a bit more simplistic. If you don't own a fancy pants camera, a point-and-shoot will do you just fine (phototoursnyc.com).
Maybe you're not interested in taking your own pictures though. Perhaps you prefer having someone else firing the camera? No worries! PhotoTrek Tours has got you covered. For a two hour tour, PhotoTrek charges $100 a person for groups of three to eight visitors and $125 a person for groups of two (meaning that it would be advantageous to invite some friends along). Keep in mind that additional charges apply to longer-than-usual outings. Add 50 bucks per person if you want the tour to last three hours (phototrektours.com).
Similar to Einhorn, a perk of traveling with PhotoTrek is that you decide what's covered. Travelers set their own agenda; or, if they prefer, they can select a tour from a pre-determined list of popular sites to visit. For instance, PhotoTrek's Best of New York list of popular sites covers the following spots, as long as time permits: Times Square and the Theater District, Central Park, Midtown (including Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Grand Central Station, and Radio City Music Hall), Uptown and Downtown Manhattan, and the Brooklyn Bridge.
Something to remember: Personalized tours like these can sell out quickly during peak season. Sometimes nothing's available for two or three weeks, so reserve a spot as soon as you can to avoid being shut(tered) out.

BAY VIEW . . . A Chautauqua on Lake Michigan
Sponsored by Friends of the Bay View Chautauqua (TM)
Chautauquas
BV History
From the gingerbread Victorian architecture of the central campus to the idyllic shores of Lake Michigan's Little Traverse Bay, the Bay View Chautauqua takes visitors on a journey back in time. More than 440 picturesque cottages and over 30 public buildings nestle under a canopy of trees that shade the streets and flower-rimmed lanes. Many of these cottages have been in the same families for generations. The site is on the National Historic Register.
The Bells of Bay View call the cottagers to daily programs—organized around the Four Chautauqua Pillars: Education, Religion, Performing Arts and Recreation. (Photos at right): Behind the Bell Tower on the main campus stands one of the classroom buildings, Evelyn Hall,considered one of the best examples of Queen Anne architecture in America. (At left: Loud Hall, another classroom building). The Education Pillar is represented by a rich catalog of courses ranging from arts and crafts to yoga and physical wellness, creative activities for children, to political issues and literature. Many of these learning opportunities draw on the expertise of community members who are also respected leaders within their home, academic or business communities. The Woman's Council and Campus Club offer additional weekly educational programs throughout the summer season.
The Performing Arts Pillar revolves around the Bay View Music Festival, a 10-week summer session during which the community comes alive with chamber and pops concerts, dance programs, as well as a musical and staged opera performance. Students and faculty travel from all over the world to participate. There are exciting performances by outside musical groups and Master Classes, all of which are open to the public. Special youth and children's concerts, Rock at the Rec and other musical events encourage involvement by the whole family. Sunday night vespers are also part of the Bay View Festival program.
From sailboat races, to tennis tournaments and a beloved toddler-to-teen day camp known as "Club", the Recreation Pillar is a family affair. Daily crafts and an annual Club Olympics are highlights of the summer recreational season for youngsters.The waterfront offers swim instruction. A teen club meets regularly at the beach Rec Club for social activities. The Campus Club provides fellowship and team activities not just for seniors, but participants of all ages. Porch rocking with a good book or visiting with friends and neighbors contributes to the well-balanced lifestyle.
Religious life is at the spiritual heart of the Four Pillars with daily 'faith and life' lectures that draw outstanding speakers, preachers and theologians to the community. Sunday Assembly in Hall Auditorium brings together thousands of attendees in the course of a summer. Outreach activities like the annual Crop Walk and work days at the area food banks draw strong support from Bay Vieew residents. A Festival Choir made up of volunteers from Bay View and the surrounding community sings regularly at Sunday evening vesper concerts. A community gardening team maintains the lovely Bay View Memorial Garden, a living bayside tribute along the bay shore to loved ones, neighbors and friends who shared a deep love for the community.
The community maintains a public library and hosts both Family and Foreign Film Festivals. Special events such as Illumination Night and July 4th festivities enrich community life throughout the 10-week assembly season.
From May through October, the Four Pillars of Chautauqua— EDUCATION, RELIGION, PERFORMING ARTS AND RECREATION—continue to define what it means to live in community in this beautiful, historic setting on Lake Michigan's Little Traverse Bay.b

The broadcasting star has covered more than 100 Test matches and 400 One Day Internationals. The following are some facts which you don't know about the media star.
The Voice of Indian Cricket was born on 19th July 1961 in Hyderabad. Both his parents were professors with his father A. D. Bhogle taught French whereas his mother Shalini Bhogle was a professor of psychology.
Bhogle was a cricketer at the university level where he played for Osmania University alongside future India captain Mohammad Azharuddin and several other state level cricketers. He has also played alongside off-spinner ArshadAyub.
The Broadcasting star completed his Chemical Engineering from Osmania University in Hyderabad. He completed his schooling from Hyderabad Public School and was a bright student.
Bhogle was part of an advertising agency after he completed his post graduate program from India Institute of Management. After the two year experience at the advertising agency, he joined a sports management company for two years.
The star started commentating at an early age of 19 year old. He was part of the All India Radio while living in Hyderabad.

Gold and silver storage has become a popular topic of conversation given the current economic climate. People are turning to the fine metals as a way to protect their hard-earned money from losing value. Once acquired, you might be asking – what is the best place to store gold and silver?
The most secure method for gold and silver storage is in a private vault like Safe Links Security Company and Courier Service. There are other options available, but none of them protect your assets like a private vault.
Precious Metals can be a value asset in your investment portfolio. The difficult aspect is that investing in precious metals can be very confusing for the average person. Unless you are buying gold and silver at a large amount adding precious metals to your portfolio can be easier said than done.
Access to your safe deposit box can only be from an authorized owner.
Unlike the banks and other financial institutions we are a private facility where security and safety of your valuables is matched by absolute and total privacy. (We do not request or need a social security number).

European Privacy Regulators Target Music-Player Software
By Brandon MitchenerStaff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal
BRUSSELS -- Europe's privacy regulators are investigating whether music-player software and other products that automatically send information about the users across the Internet invade people's privacy.
A working group of European privacy-enforcement authorities labeled certain features of music-player software as "invisible and not legitimate" programs, which amounted to "spyware." The most popular music players are Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Media Player and RealNetworks Inc.'s RealJukebox and its successor, RealOne Player.
Certain software components are "secretly installed" on consumers' computers, the European Union regulators maintain, and "send back personal information" to software makers, such as "the music titles the individual tends to listen to." The regulators' working paper describing the charges was adopted May 30 by a group of privacy regulators from the EU's 15 member states, but hasn't yet been made public.
The regulators' intention to apply the EU's strict privacy laws to music-player software, no matter where the software makers or Web sites are located, would represent a broad expansion of EU power in the privacy field. Already, EU privacy law is setting the standard for the way software companies handle individual information contained in e-mail and text files, known as cookies, which keep track of how individuals use Web sites.
The same group of regulators has recently raised questions about Microsoft's .NET Passport online-identification service, and taken steps that could lead to a formal investigation of that service. Microsoft says Passport complies with European privacy rules and is working to avert a formal investigation. Violations of EU privacy rules can be punished with steep fines.


Jimbo has always been a musician that has followed his own muse rather than musical fashion, as evidenced by his being a founder member of the blues, jazz, klezmer and goodness knows how many other genres, the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Since starting his solo career he has made albums full of hard hitting blues, some with a psychedelic edge, and some of it blues rock, as well as rural delta blues that sometimes contains a blend of 'hillbilly' and 'race music,' southern rock and even twangy country, often incorporating all of the various styles on the same album. He doesn't stop there with keeping the listener off balance either. Even his Christian name is subject to change, having been Jim, James, Jas and now just for good measure Jimbo. Whilst his musical philosophy of never standing still should be hugely admired, as a fan, I can't say I've loved everything he has done and suspect he would neither want me to, nor care one way or the other, so long as he can remain true to his highly individual and at times idiosyncratic take on roots music. He will never have the style that fits into the mainstream and as with most of his fans, I wouldn't want him to. I love his raw expressive vocals that are a million miles from chart music, allied to a pretty much unique style of writing and blending of these various generic offshoots. Not for him the well trodden path of commercialism, although I doubt he would object to making a fortune, but he is too much his own man when it comes to the music he makes to ever be dictated to.
This album probably fits best into the 'classic country rock' category but not the twee branch that was so prevalent in the 1970s. In fact there is some common ground with early failures in toeing the line, the Flying Burrito Brothers and Gram Parsons, in producing an original blend of excellent music that tips its hat to so many genres. Also included is a little blues rock, some eerie old sounding blues with a gospel sensibility, some southern rock, ……….. oh, I'm sure you get the picture! His tremendous band, the Tri-State Coalition is made up of Matt Pierce on guitar, Eric Carlton, keyboards, Terence Bishop, bass, Ryan Rogers on drums and multi instrumentalist Jimbo handles vocals amongst other things.
allows the album to become disjointed or the flow upset.
on this new album that probably contains more country, or certainly country rock than any of his previous albums. Could this be a new direction for Jimbo? If you think that, you obviously haven't been following the career of this boundary stretching musician. Long may he continue on those diverse pathways that have converged to form an excellent album that should appeal to all true lovers of roots music, whichever of those sub genres has most appeal.

Chairman of First Bank Nigeria Plc, Ibukun Awosika, while commending women in Airtel Nigeria also used the platform to encourage them to continue learning and to invest in themselves; break away from the normal and be bold for change.
"There is too much pampering and lying to the womenfolk and this is bad because it never helps. As a woman, you must build yourself and cultivate a culture of continuous knowledge acquisition. This will help you have the boldness to be the best of you," Awosika said.
Speaking earlier at the event, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Airtel Nigeria, Segun Ogunsanya, noted that women are very influential in the home, the workplace and all aspects of life. He urged women to strive for excellence in all their endeavours.
"Every woman has a rod in her hand. This rod could be a pen, qualification, network, disposition; whatever it is, women should use the rod in their hands to create value for others".
At the Airtel International Women's Day event, CEO, Fine & Country, Udo Okonjo, spoke to the theme of the year, Be Bold for Change. She urged women to strive for financial education and empowerment in other to be contributory members of the society.
Renowned marriage and relationship expert, Funke Felix Adejumo, highlighted on the need for women to have good understanding and a beautiful countenance.
"Women need to understand themselves, believe in themselves and strive to be happy irrespective of the difficulties they go through. They must also learn to be financially independent, make an impact on our world and ensure they leave a legacy for their children".
Other distinguished speakers at the Airtel International Women's Day event included Professor of Gynaecology, Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Abosede Afolabi who spoke on women and their body; Fashion and style expert, Veronica Odeka and award winning make-up artist, Joyce Jacob.
The Airtel International Women's Day celebration, which held on March 8, 2017 at the Airtel headquarters, is part of the telco's commitment to supporting and celebrating women who play a very important role in the society.
The celebration provided an avenue for Airtel female employees to come together and discuss various topics that relate to them in their personal as well as professional lives. The celebration, which also served as an avenue for mentorship gave employees the opportunity to relate with veterans in various fields.
The International Women's Day, which is marked annually on 8th of March, is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

Mesoporous silica; MCM-48; CNT; mesoporous silicon carbide; carbothermal reduction.
Mesoporous materials are the subject of extensive interest due to their large surface area and multiscale structuralorder. These properties are especially relevant for applications such as catalyst supports in both chemical and electrochemicalsystems. The first part of this study details the synthesis of carbon nanotube–mesoporous silica core–shell composites startingwith single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) through micellar selfassembly.The formation of such a composite structure was verified using scanning electron microscopy and further analysiswas carried out through X-ray diffraction (XRD). The subsequent refinement of the diffraction pattern revealed the silicashell to be of the continuous cubic (Ia3d) MCM48 structure. The mesoporous silica–carbon nanotube core–shell composite was later subjected to high-temperature carbothermal reduction. Subsequent XRD analysis showed that the reduction product was mesoporous silicon carbide (SiC). Thus, this study details a novel synthesis method for mesoporous SiC, which is anattractive material for possible diverse applications such as catalyst supports, intercalation electrodes and other emerginghigh technology areas.

Some songs that stand out – Cradle Rock, Never Make Your Move Too Soon, Steal Your Heart Away, and Slow Train. I personally have never seen Cradle Rock or Never Make Your Move Too Soon. Cradle Rock hasn't been performed since around 2002 – 2003, if I remember correctly. Never Make Your Move Too Soon has never been performed live before. Another song that people don't get to hear often is Steal Your Heart Away. That song is from Joe's latest album, Black Rock. You might also noticed Slow Train, which is a yet to be released track. It will probably be on Joe's next studio album that was recorded over the summer at Black Rock Studios in Greece.
Really wish he'd do "Reconsider" instead of "Bird on a Wire"…. that is, unless ST is planning on showing up. I hope not. Although she's getting better at it, she butchered the song in Fayetteville, AR, on 3/27/10.
Please play more of new album in Columbus Ga. Spanish Boots, Blue and Evil. You will never have a request like this from a Nello ever again!!! Love ya brother!!!


Humans have a terrible time getting the correct amount of sleep. If you sleep too little, you are probably shaving years off your life. If you sleep too much, you are probably shaving years off your life. That sweet spot exists somewhere between 7-9 hours, so we are told, but even those figures are highly subjective.
Sleep remains one of life's great mysteries. But if there is one thing that you can take solace in when it comes to sleep, it's that everyone is more or less in the same boat; i.e., we're all tired as hell. At least that's what a new survey suggests, which says that people are missing out on upwards of 32 hours of sleep a month.
The new survey comes the way of Bedstar, which conducted their survey with 2,500 adults in the U.K. to see how much sleep they were missing out on.
The survey was based on an 8-hour sleeping schedule and also found that hours of missed sleep varied on location. Bedstar discovered that adults in North Ireland only lost around 27 hours of sleep. On the other hand, adults in the West Midlands lost 32 hours of sleep a month on average.
The results also differed across industries. Healthcare employees lost up to 42 hours of sleep while public services had the least at 21 hours.
What's more, the survey revealed that many attempt to pay back the "sleep debt" by binge sleeping on the weekend. If you're not familiar, sleep debt is the "cumulative effect of a person not having sufficient sleep." As you fall under that 8-hour threshold night after night, your sleep debt accumulates.
According to the survey, many adults believe that they can just repay their longterm sleep debt back by oversleeping on the weekend. It sounds like a sound idea, but not so fast. Sleep debt is typically only offset by getting the correct amount of sleep consecutive nights and then maintaining that cycle.
The good news is that if you have a steep sleep debt to pay back to the sleep bookies (diabetes and high blood pressure), you can pay it back without mainlining Red Bull and coffee in the office.
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute outlines several strategies that are no-brainers at this point in human civilization. Among the most simple include heading to bed at the same time every night and waking up at the same time. Additionally, put tablets and phones away at least an hour before you hit the pillow. It also goes without saying to avoid caffeine and nicotine before bedtime.
If all else fails, revert to your infant days and get a bed that physically rocks you to sleep. It's worth a shot.


Ken's wine review of 2015 Jeff Gordon Chardonnay "Carneros"

2015 Jeff Gordon Chardonnay "Carneros"
Winemaker Notes: Our 2015 Chardonnay has a vibrant, medium golden color with excellent concentration throughout. The enticing nose is fresh and clean with scents of lime zest, green apple, marzipan and Bosc pear. Upon the first sip, the wine is rich with lemon custard, honey and pear flavors on the palate. There is a long finish and the richness on the palate is countered with balancing acids. This creates exceptional texture and a layered flavor profile that gives a sense of harmony in the wine. Enjoy with roasted chicken, shrimp salad or Oysters Rockefeller.

MixTape.me Strikes a Chord With Music Junkies

The new web service MixTape.me fills a gap left by MuxTape. You can't upload your own tracks, but you can pull MP3s from all over the web, build a playlist and share it with your friends.
Screenshot: MixTape.meWe still miss MuxTape. The popular MP3-streaming service was shut down by the RIAA last year, and while there have been quite a few similar projects since MuxTape went off the air — OpenTape, the revamped FavTape as well as an RIAA-sanctioned version of MuxTape — nothing we've seen has been quite as nice as the original. Until yesterday, when we discovered MixTape.me.
MixTape.me has almost everything you loved about MuxTape. The core functionality is the same — a slick, simple-to-use interface that makes building and sharing custom playlists of your favorite music dead easy. MixTape.me also adds some cool extras by mashing up all sorts of musical info from across the web.
Getting started building a customized, shareable playlist with MixTape.me is simple. Just search for your favorite artists and available songs show up in the results. Drag the songs you want into the playlist creator and then grab the embed code to post that playlist anywhere you like. The interface looks just like most popular desktop jukebox apps, so if you're familiar with iTunes, Songbird or Windows Media Player, you'll be able to jump right in.
You can't upload tracks from your computer and share them — that's the biggest difference between MixTape.me and MuxTape — but we had no trouble finding all but the most obscure artists in the site's search tool. The service pulls files from around the web. Quite a few come from SeeqPod (which has been a record label target, but so far remains functional). The rest come from other public sources like blogs, labels and artist pages.
Also, as we mentioned, MixTape.me doesn't just grab the songs. It also pulls in tons of outside data so you can discover all sorts of new information while you're crafting the perfect mix — artist bios are pulled from last.fm, there are music videos from YouTube and song lyrics from LyricWiki.
If creating and sharing mixes isn't for you, MixTape.me is still useful for exploring and finding new music. There are dozens of popular playlists created by other users listed on the homepage which you can listen to or embed anywhere you like. Because each playlist has its own URL, there's no need to join the site just to listen — all you need is a URL. That makes MixTape.me mixes perfect for sharing via Twitter and other microblogging platforms.
If you do end up signing up for the site, MixTape.me offers some minimal social networking tools of its own. The most useful tool gives you the ability to follow users whose mixes you enjoy. Follow somebody and you'll be notified whenever they post a new mix.
Now, we know what you're thinking — sounds great, but what about the RIAA?
Well, like FavTape, MixTape.me skirts the major flaw that brought down MuxTape — MixTape.me does not host any of the .mp3 files. They are pulled in from external, and largely legal, sources. That's no guarantee MixTape.me won't suffer a fate similar to MuxTape. However, at least for the foreseeable future, it's a great way to mix, share and discover some new music.
Incidentally, Lifehacker editor Adam Pash is the one behind MixTape.me. An impressive service to pull off in your spare time, Adam!

Timeline Bar
============

The timeline bar shows an alternate view of the scene to the :doc:`event_browser`. Displaying the scene with time running as the horizontal axis, although it does not show each section in size relative to its timing.

Introduction
------------

The timeline bar shows the scene horizontally with the hierarchical frame markers being expandable from top to bottom.

This alternate view can be a useful way to get an overview of the whole frame, allowing you to jump around very different parts of the frame.

Given that the timeline bar shows the whole frame it also provides a secondary function of showing dependencies in a global way. For whichever texture is currently selected in the texture viewer, pixel history, or resource inspector, the timeline bar shows accesses of that texture throughout the frame. This can be especially useful for render targets that are cleared, written to and read from, as well as simply to see where a given texture is used in a frame without laboriously searching.

.. figure:: ../imgs/Screenshots/TimelineBar.png

	Timeline Bar: The timeline bar showing a birds-eye view of a typical application.

Timeline Display
----------------

By default the timeline bar views the whole frame, but with the mouse wheel you can zoom in and out. When zoomed in, you can scroll through the frame with the horizontal scroll bar.

Underneath expanded sections, a blue pip is rendered for each action. The currently selected event is shown as a green pip, as well as there being a light gray vertical line to indicate the current position, such that this is visible even when the relevant section is not expanded.

Clicking on any section will toggle it between expanded and unexpanded, and any sections underneath a section which is collapsed will remain in their previous state but will not be visible.

Left clicking on the timeline will jump to the event underneath that point on the horizontal display.

Resource usage Display
----------------------

The timeline bar also shows the usage of the currently displayed texture.

If the :doc:`texture_viewer` is active then whichever texture is being displayed will have its usage laid out across the frame on the timeline bar. If the :doc:`resource_inspector` is active then whichever resource is currently being inspected will have its usage displayed.

If your textures have their names annotated you will see which texture is being inspected in the label for the usage bar.

A colored triangle will be drawn under each pip that reads from the texture. If the pips are too close together some triangles may be hidden, so zoom in anywhere that there is a great deal of usage in a small place to make it more visible.

.. figure:: ../imgs/Screenshots/ResourceUsage.png

	Resource Usage: The usage bar showing reads and writes to a texture.

Pixel history event Display
---------------------------

When a pixel history window is focused, the timeline bar will show the results over each EID with a red triangle to show rejected pixels and green triangles to show passed pixels.

A comarca (,  or ,  or ) is a traditional region or local administrative division found in Portugal, Spain and some of their former colonies, like Brazil, Nicaragua, and Panama. The term is derived from the term marca, meaning a "march, mark", plus the prefix co-, meaning "together, jointly".

The comarca is known in Aragonese as redolada () and in Basque as eskualde (). In addition, in Galician, comarcas are also called bisbarras ().

Although the English word "county" and its near synonym "shire" have similar meanings, they are usually translated into Spanish and Portuguese as condado, a term which in the Iberian peninsula only refers to regions historically ruled by a conde (count or earl). However, "comarca" is occasionally used, with examples including the Spanish Wikipedia entry for "comarca" and some translations of The Lord of the Rings (see below).

In the CPLP
In the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP), comarcas are used as follows.

Historical
From the Middle Ages until the 16th century, the comarcas corresponded to the large administrative divisions of Portugal. There were six such traditional divisions: Entre-Douro-e-Minho, Trás-os-Montes, Beira, Estremadura, Alentejo and Algarve, of which the last had the honorary title of "kingdom". In the 16th century, the comarcas started gradually to be referred to as "provinces".

The name "comarca" was then applied to the new administrative and judicial subdivisions of the provinces, created in the 17th century. Each comarca corresponded to the territorial area of jurisdiction of a corregedor, a high-ranking administrative and judicial officer who represented the Crown in the district.

In the 19th century, the comarcas were replaced by separate administrative and judicial divisions, reflecting the implementation of the separation of executive and judicial powers. The new administrative divisions became the administrative districts and the new judicial divisions kept the name comarca.

Present
Nowadays, in Brazil, Portugal, and some other countries of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, the comarca is the basic territorial division in the judicial system. It corresponds to the territorial area of jurisdiction of a court of first instance.

The comarca may correspond to a municipality or group several small municipalities together. Presently, in Brazil, there are 2,680 comarcas. A judiciary organization reform implemented in Portugal in 2014 reduced the number of comarcas from 231 to 23.

According to the new judicial division of 2015, Angola will be again subdivided into 60 comarcas, each with a court of first instance. The courts of comarca will replace the previous provincial and municipal courts.

Comarca is also the name of a suburb of Luanda, the capital of Angola.

Mexico
The ninth-largest metropolitan area in Mexico is known as the Comarca Lagunera. The region is made up of 15 municipalities, including the cities of Torreón, Coahuila, Gómez Palacio and Lerdo Durango.

Panama
In Panama, the comarca indígena is an administrative region for an area with a substantial Amerindian population. Four comarcas (Emberá-Wounaan, Guna Yala, Naso Tjër Di, and Ngöbe-Buglé) exist as equivalent to provinces. Two smaller comarcas (Kuna de Madugandí and Kuna de Wargandí) are subordinate to a province and considered equivalent to a corregimiento.

Spain

The term comarca is used in several regions in Spain.

 In Asturias, the historic division is the conceyu (pl. conceyos, concejo or municipio in Spanish). Currently, there are several comarcas but they are contemporary creations destined to tourism promotions, without administrative or government powers.
 In Cantabria, the comarca is a traditional or historical division, usually identified with the greatest rivers of the region.
 In Catalonia and Aragon, the comarca is a local government area, administered by a comarcal council.
 In the Valencian Community, the comarca is a traditional region with no administrative competences. They are legally referred as homologated territorial demarcations instead of as comarques.
 In Galicia the comarca or bisbarra are traditional divisions of the land that have limited official recognition, but have no administrative relevance. However, the Galician government is attempting to transform the bisbarras into territorial administrative tiers, to create a new regional network proposed to be more balanced and efficient. Galician comarcas also have a comarcal council.

In other places, such as Extremadura, the comarca may simply refer to a loosely defined region.

Because of the comarcas long-standing use, it is sometimes used as the basis for the promotion of tourism, with emphasis on local cultural tradition and history.

Fiction
Some Spanish-language editions of British writer J. R. R. Tolkien's works use the term La Comarca as a translation for the English "The Shire".

https://sportlifeadviser.com/best-bowling-balls-buyers-guide/ is among the advanced procedures that a player can use to improve their techniques and their scoring opportunity. It offers you bigger probabilities of figuring out where your ball will tumble and precision with which it is going to strike the pins. Straight bowling that is typical with many rookies may also preserve the balls away from the gutter but is not as likely to give you a very good strike unless by fantastic luck the pins knock down one another. The gamers placement matters an awesome deal when hook bowling simply because the player's bowling stride and launch will rely upon the wherever the player is standing on the lane.
The rationale why the player should find out hook ball may be the simple fact that may be that rolling the ball down the center lane includes a increased chance of splitting the pins in fifty percent, pulling down some as a result leaving a gap within the center with the lane. This causes it to be unattainable with the player to knock down the rest of the pins in the next demo except the participant is a qualified with innovative capabilities. This is the scenario a large number of gamers try to stay clear of just as much because they can. Luck may well beckon any time you obtaining an opportunity for your spare with your 2nd flip albeit a gain will not be confirmed particularly when your opponents are receiving strikes. A bowler who wants to learn hook bowling ought to get acquainted along with the four-step solution exactly where the bowler stands four methods far from the foul line. The bowler should, if at all possible, look for a ball that has finger guidelines mainly because it are going to be of fantastic aid with regards to spinning.
Its edge is it'll enable the player to utilize a slight spin when having a shot and provides you the power to secure a excellent angle to aim with the focus on. Which has a fantastic spin, the ball will vacation in a straight route around the break stage, exactly where the ball commences to turns to the goal. The ball must at this time arc out inside of a gradual method and begin relocating specifically towards the pins you wish to strike.
The axis rotation put together with axis tilt practices are incredibly vital in case the player wants to throw a good best hook ball. The participant could possibly get this idea by concentrating over the placement from the hand all through a launch even though the very best issue for that participant to try and do is usually to observe a person do the first number of shots.
Once the player appreciates the his or her axis tilt and rotation designs, it'll be feasible to appropriate the game and in addition get to know the proper spin over the ball. A participant will find that there are individuals sorts of bowling balls which are more efficient although throwing the hook ball. The player should get the ideal ball to the video game after which embark on significantly follow to ideal the spins. Hook bowling is often overwhelming at the outset but with a lot persistence and practice the participant are going to be making the most of each move.

Liberals do drink more lattes, but maybe not for the reasons you think
The term "latte liberal" has been a popular way to disparage American progressives as uppity and out of touch, but does a person's coffee preference really say something about his or her political ideology?
According to a new study, it does.
Liberals do drink more lattes, but it's not because they're liberals. Liberals, the research finds, drink more lattes--a drink associated with its European origin--because they're more open to globalization, and conservatives drink fewer lattes because they are generally more nationalistic and opposed to what are seen as "foreign products" of all kinds.
Diana C. Mutz, Samuel A. Stouffer Professor of Political Science and Communication at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communication and School of Arts and Sciences, and her co-author Jahnavi S. Rao discuss their findings in a new study, "The Real Reason Liberals Drink Lattes," which was recently published in PS: Political Science & Politics.
In surveying 1500 Americans, 1,000 of whom were coffee drinkers, and asking about their coffee preferences, political ideology, household income, gender, zip code, and attitudes toward globalization, the researchers discovered that liberals and conservatives are equally likely to enjoy coffee. They also found that most Americans, regardless of political ideology, prefer regular brewed coffee to lattes. In fact, only 16% of liberals, 11% of moderates, and 9% of conservatives prefer lattes.
In exploring why liberals show a stronger preference for lattes, the researchers considered numerous factors, including the availability of lattes in one's local area, household income, and gender. Although all of these were predictors of latte drinking, none of them explained the relationship between lattes and liberals. However, latte drinkers' attitudes toward globalization proved most meaningful in explaining why liberals are more likely to drink lattes.
Coffee drinkers with a more "America first" nationalistic attitude were less likely to choose lattes over regular coffee. The researchers suggest that economic nationalism often leads to rejecting products that seem un-American or foreign.
Despite the fact that a latte purchased in an American coffee shop is produced in America, the Italian name may be leading nationalistic coffee drinkers to avoid the beverage in favor of regular brewed coffee.
The reality, of course, is that all coffee drinkers are engaged in the global economy; with the exception of minor amounts grown in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and California, all coffee is produced outside the U.S. and imported. Ironically, the researchers say, the latte contributes more to the American economy than regular brewed coffee because its high milk content supports the American dairy industry.
Rather than being a symbol of elitism or hypocrisy, drinking lattes, the researchers say, can be seen as an indicator of openness to globalization and willingness to embrace open markets.

I've been reading some books about professionalism. The one I was reading yesterday touched on an interesting model that I'm not quite sure what to make of, but it certainly caught my fancy.
Some commodities have universal demand; i.e. everybody wants some. Some examples: food, education, knowledge, safety, health, mobility, conflict resolution. States naturally are drawn into providing a regulatory function for these industries. A state that fails in these areas finds its legitimacy at risk. Their universal demand assures a strong signal from the citizens to the state, particularly in any functional democratic state.
Meanwhile, universal demand tends to attract numerous suppliers; and in the absence of barrier to entry too many suppliers. Which will lead in short order to market failure if the quality of the goods supplied is hard to measure dependably. The market fails because the horde of suppliers furiously underbid each other until they can't make a reasonable living, which drives all the competent suppliers to seek other work.
It is practically impossible for most buyers to evaluate the quality of what they are buying. If you can't tell from the plate on the table in the resturant if the kitchen is or isn't a public health nightmare there is no chance you can evaluate the quality of your teachers, lawyers, groceries, or the city's levee.
So that's the story. A commodity with strong demand whose quality isn't transparently obvious can easily engage in a rush for the bottom, a market failure. If the demand is universal the state will find the pressure to respond irresistible. And so the state will step in to regulate.
As early as the 16th century some European states established regulatory mechanisms for medical providers. Now that's a great example because it looks to me like those states picked, more or less at random, one class of medical hucksters declared them legit, and declared the others ill-legit. They had to do something.
What I find thought provoking is how granting the state license (the franchise, the monopoly) to one group is a new kind of standards making I'd not recognized before. In the presence of 16th century medical science (i.e. a something totally bogus) and complete market failure (i.e. doctors and barbers sharing the same wages) the state has a chicken and egg problem. No quality, and no market. By tagging one group as responsible it solves the market failure. Wait a few centuries with luck the might science emerges.
If the practitioners don't capturing the regulator and the regulator keeps demanding that the practitioners address the quality problem this can work. There is some hint that is exactly what happened with the medical profession. That time and time again the profession failed to provide reasonably quality; for example Doctors were very slow to adopt ideas about public health, hygiene, etc. If you want to be nice you could say they were very loyal to their professional practices. Forces would come to bear that would force them to change; in the absence of the professional monopoly there wouldn't have been anything for those forces to bear down upon.

Wow. In my life I've been to dozens of Blue Jays games, dozens of Maple Leafs games and dozens of Raptors games. I've been to Marlies games, Argo games and WWF cards. I've been to all of these live events in this city, but I've never experienced what I experienced this afternoon at BMO Field.
For over 90 minutes of play, everyone was on their feet singing, chanting, dancing, stomping and cheering. It was as if everybody was reading from the same handbook. When the players are introduced, the public address announcer just says the Toronto FC player's first name and we all yell their last name. At the 23-minute mark, we all sang a song for Danny Dichio, because he scored the franchise's first ever goal at the 23-minute mark. There were lots of customs and practices to obey.
The songs were awesome. There were songs for certain players, such as the spin on "Hey Jude" for Maurice Edu or the call and response between sections for Marco Velez. There were anti-Galaxy songs, such as the super catchy "F*ck Galaxy" and love songs for Toronto. There was a song to start things off, a chant to remind the opposition "this is our home", anti-Beckham songs and even "Seven Nation Army". My favourite songs were the anti-ref songs which we sang whenever a call went against us. There was even this French question we'd ask the section across the field and then they'd answer and we'd both do this dance. That one is tough to explain... but super fun.
In addition to the singing, chanting and dancing, there was also a soccer game. I was worried it would be a boring 0-0 game, but I actually got to see two Toronto FC goals and at least six other solid scoring chances. I was stunned by how dominant we were and how much offence there was. It could easily have been 5-0 for the good guys.
Thanks for the ticket, Elvis. I'm seriously starting to think I was wrong about this franchise. I didn't think a professional soccer team would make it in this city, but today I witnessed 20 thousand young, enthusiastic fans treat the event with all the ritualistic fervent of a religious gathering. This was their church, and there was no sign of impending apathy.
Here are dozens of photos I took this afternoon during my very first Toronto FC game as we beat the Los Angeles Galaxy 2-0.
I forgot to mention... I bought Elvis a beer, and it cost $13. Yikes!!! $13 for a beer?!?!?
Rookie defender Julius James made his long-awaited Major League Soccer debut on Saturday, and boy was it ever worth the wait.
James came on as a substitute early in the first half and scored his first professional goal to pace Toronto FC to a convincing 2-0 victory over the David Beckham-less L.A. Galaxy on a rainy afternoon before 20,096 fans at BMO Field.
Jeff Cunningham also scored for Toronto, which improved its record to 5-3-2 on the season and sits in fourth place in the Eastern Conference with 17 points.
"It was unreal. I've been waiting for a while and I got the chance today, and with the help of my teammates, things worked out," James told reporters after the game, a toothy grin etched on his face.
"I'm delighted for Julius because it's his first game and goal, which is great. He's come in, stepped up and was fantastic," said Toronto coach John Carver.
Beckham, the Galaxy's star midfielder, didn't make the trip to Toronto because he was called up to play for the English national team in an exhibition match against Trinidad and Tobago in Port of Spain on Sunday.
Beckham wasn't the only player who missed Saturday's contest due to national team commitments. Toronto was minus goalkeeper Greg Sutton (Canada), midfielder Carl Robinson (Wales) and forward Amado Guevara (Honduras).
Three other regular starters — French winger Laurent Robert (suspended), forward Danny Dichio (groin strain) and defender Tyrone Marshall (hamstring injury) – were also missing for Toronto.
Carver was impressed with the way his team played without so many key players.
"This game shows we have a bit of bench strength and depth. That's why this performance has given me more pleasure than any other game this season," Carver said.
James was Toronto's top pick (ninth overall) in January's MLS draft, but a shoulder injury suffered in the pre-season and new player signings later in the campaign prevented him from making his debut until Saturday.
The Trinidad native admitted he was frustrated over his lack of playing time, but said his older teammates encouraged him to be patient.
Despite scoring and putting in a poised performance, James believes he still has some work to do in order to crack Toronto's starting lineup.
James came on for the injured Olivier Tebily (strained calf muscle) in the 18th minute, and the young defender wasted little time in asserting himself, trying to beat Galaxy goalkeeper Steve Cronin with a lob from the centre line.
The first half was a contrast in styles, with the Canadian club efficiently moving the ball around in midfield and looking to spring the speedy Cunningham free, and L.A. playing conservatively and launching counterattacks.
Toronto started brightly and nearly opened the scoring after just 15 seconds, but Cunningham couldn't connect on a dangerous, low cross played deep into the penalty box from the right wing.
The Galaxy's only scoring opportunity came late in the first half when former Toronto forward Edson Buddle ballooned his shot over the crossbar following a slick passing sequence by L.A.
A torrential downpour at halftime led to slippery field conditions in the second half but it hardly slowed down James. The rookie defender out-jumped two Galaxy players inside the box on a free kick from teammate Rohan Ricketts and connected on a beautiful header that sailed past a diving Cronin at the 49-minute mark.
The Galaxy's defence was rattled and conceded a second goal in the 65th minute. New Zealand forward Jarrod Smith fed a perfect, defence-splitting pass to Cunningham who burst into the penalty area and beat Cronin with a low shot.
Toronto poured on the pressure and overwhelmed the beleaguered Galaxy defence. Cunningham nearly added a second goal, only to see his shot whisper past the post, while Smith squandered a glorious breakaway opportunity.
Rookie goalkeeper Brian Edwards earned his first career shutout in only his second regular-season appearance for Toronto.
Toronto's next game is on the road, against two-time defending MLS champion Houston Dynamo on June 8.
Interesting Mike, I think we have a team in Rochester? Id root for Toronto, how much are tickets?
I'm told you simply can't buy a ticket - and there's crazy demand for them. So, if you want in, you have to know somebody or buy the tickets from a scalper.
Can we even say "scalper" anymore? Those dudes need a new label. We'll call them unlicensed ticket brokers.
Okay if you wanted to buy a ticket and there were some available, how much do they go for?
I just checked out a ticket broker site and saw a range of $88 - $3500.

Jeff Flake: populism "is not a real governing philosophy"
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) criticized his own party and President Trump once again on CNN last night. Asked if he felt his party has left him, Sen. Flake responded with his commitment to the party, but added his concerns on their governing, the party's stance regarding free trade, globalism, and immigration.
He later fired at the party's immigration policy announced last week: "On immigration, the immigration package put forward last week I think is in the wrong direction. ... But cutting legal immigration in half is not the right direction we need to go as a country."

The Unthinkable
The hatred spewing at the McCain/Palin rallies is sinking to a frightening level.
"Terrorist!" one man screamed Monday at a New Mexico rally after McCain voiced the campaign's new rhetorical staple aimed at raising doubts about the Illinois senator: "Who is the real Barack Obama?"
"He's a damn liar!" yelled a woman Wednesday in Pennsylvania. "Get him. He's bad for our country."
At both stops, there were cries of, "Nobama," picking up on a phrase that has appeared on yard signs, T-shirts and bumper stickers.
McCain, in his town hall meetings, is giving a platform to the rants. He could stop them, but he lets the hate come forth.
And Thursday, at a campaign town hall in Wisconsin, one Republican brought the crowd to its feet when he used his turn at the microphone to offer a soliloquy so impassioned it made the network news and earned extended play on Rush Limbaugh's program.
"I'm mad; I'm really mad!" the voter bellowed. "And what's going to surprise ya, is it's not the economy — it's the socialists taking over our country."
After the crowd settled down he was back at it. "When you have an Obama, Pelosi and the rest of the hooligans up there gonna run this country, we gotta have our head examined!"
This is different from past elections — materially different.
Such contempt for Democrats is, of course, nothing new from conservative activists. But in 2000 and 2004, the Republican rank and file was more apt to ridicule Gore as a stiff fabulist or Kerry as an effete weather vane of a politician.
…Now, though, the emotion on display is unadulterated anger rather than mocking.
Activists outside rallies openly talk about Obama as a terrorist, citing his name and purported ties to Islam in the fashion of the viral e-mails that have rocketed around the Internet for over a year now.
Some of this activity is finding its way into the events, too.
On Thursday, as one man in the audience asked a question about Obama's associations, the crowd erupted in name-calling.
"Obama Osama!" one woman called out.
And twice this week, local officials have warmed up the crowd by railing against "Barack Hussein Obama."
Some Republicans worry about this.
…The raw emotions worry some in the party who believe the broader swath of swing voters are far more focused on their dwindling retirement accounts than on Obama's background and associations and will be turned off by footage of the McCain events.
John Weaver, McCain's former top strategist, said top Republicans have a responsibility to temper this behavior.
"People need to understand, for moral reasons and the protection of our civil society, the differences with Sen. Obama are ideological, based on clear differences on policy and a lack of experience compared to Sen. McCain," Weaver said. "And from a purely practical political vantage point, please find me a swing voter, an undecided independent, or a torn female voter that finds an angry mob mentality attractive."
…"It's time that you two are representing us, and we are mad," reiterated the boisterous Republican at McCain's town hall in Wisconsin Thursday. "So go get 'em!"
"I am begging you, sir, I am begging you — take it to him," pleaded James T. Harris, a local talk radio host at the same event, earning an extended standing ovation.
"Yosemite Sam is having the law laid down to him today in Waukesha, Wis.," quipped Limbaugh on his show Thursday, referring to the GOP nominee. "This guy, this audience member, is exactly right," the conservative talk show host said of the first individual.
"You are running for president. You have a right to defend this country. You have a responsibility to defend this country and not just fulfill some dream you had eight years ago running for president against Bush. It's time to start naming names and explain what's actually going on, because, Sen. McCain, the people of this country are dead scared about what we face if you lose."
No one I've read yet says the unthinkable, but they're coming close. The author uses the word "lynching," but what McCain is stoking is an assassination attempt against Obama.

The early education movement in Michigan isn't done yet.

Shortly before 10 a.m., the tall strangers in business suits arrive for their tour.
"Morning," says Denise Brown, who is not a stranger, and not in a suit. She leads this early childhood program at Campus Elementary in Grand Rapids. She's today's tour guide for the tall strangers in suits.
"Wow, I'm overwhelmed with 20 of you," Brown says.
Two years ago, the state of Michigan made a major new investment in preschool. Since then, state funding to help four year olds attend preschool has more than doubled. About 14,000 more children now have access to preschool.
Many of the tall strangers on this tour were deeply involved in making that investment happen. But they're not done yet. And today's event is, ultimately, about keeping the movement going.

Michigan spends about $5.6 billion on social welfare programs a year, and that doesn't include health care.
Even though that's only about 10% of the state's total budget, our passions and our politics are very much at work when we talk about these programs.
In this hour-long special, we uncover why we get so emotional about social welfare spending. Do these emotions keep us from having policies and programs that would actually help families in Michigan get ahead?
