What makes a law a law?
In order for a law to be truly a law, certain conditions must be met. For example, a law must be just in order to be a true law.
All laws must conform to right reason (the correct use of reason) and to the eternal moral law. Any law that is in conflict with the eternal moral law cannot stand as a law; it is violence, not law. This concept is implicit in human law, in that, when a local law is incompatible with a State law, or a State law is incompatible with a Federal law, the law with the greater authority stands and the other law is null and void. So right reason, as expressed in human law, agrees that a law that conflicts with a greater law is not a valid law. But the greatest law is the eternal moral law of God.
An unreasonable law is not a law because it is contrary to right reason, and therefore contrary to the eternal moral law.
A law not made by proper authority is not a law. For example, if a nation makes a law attempting to govern the Church (deciding who may be bishop or priest, deciding what doctrine may or may not be taught), then that law would be null and void because the government of the nation does not have that type of authority over the Church. Or if the United Nations makes an international law attempting to govern particular nations internally, such a law would be null and void because that organization lacks the authority to govern nations.
Any law that is contrary to the common good is not a valid law because it is therefore contrary to the eternal moral law. The basis for the eternal moral law is the love of God above all else and the love of neighbor as self. Laws contrary to the common good are not in conformity with right reason and the eternal moral law.
Any law that is not promulgated is not a law. It is unreasonable to expect people to obey a law of which they can have no knowledge, since it is not promulgated. Therefore, a law does not take effect until it is promulgated. So if there were a news report claiming that a Pope or a Council was about to approve, or had approved but not yet released, a new Church teaching or a new Church law, the faithful should ignore those claims until and unless the teaching or law is promulgated. A rumor is not a law. A claim is not a law.
A law that is either not enforced, or not enforceable, is not a law. Now the eternal moral law is enforced by God. But those persons err gravely who claim that God, being all loving and all forgiving, never punishes those who break the eternal moral law. Certainly, the punishment is lighter for lighter sins (venial sins), and the punishment is lighter for those who are repentant, than for those who are unrepentant, even from mortal sins. But the claim that God does not enforce the eternal moral law implies that the moral law is not a law.
A law cannot be enforced if there is no penalty for breaking that law, and so a law without a penalty is not a law.
Those who claim that abortion should be illegal, but without any penalty for breaking the law, in effect are supporting the legalization of abortion. For although they protest, saying that they only support the depenalization of abortion, not its legalization (or decriminalization), it is a requirement of all laws that they be enforced and enforceable. Without a penalty, there would be no way to enforce the law. Therefore, support for the depenalization of abortion is just a clever way to support the legalization of abortion.
As for the question as to what the penalty should be, punishments must be proportionate to the offense. A minor offense calls for only a minor penalty. A law that gives a grave penalty for a minor offense is unjust, and therefore not a law. But a law that gives a minor penalty for a grave offense is also unjust, and therefore also not a valid law. Abortion is a grave crime; generally, it is a type of premeditated murder. Therefore, all just laws against abortion must attach a weighty penalty for that weighty crime.
The penalty should be more weighty on the person who performs the abortion, than on the woman who obtains it. For the one who performs abortions does much greater harm by giving abortions to many persons. But the woman should also suffer a weighty penalty, since her offense is also weighty. The exact penalty that should be applied must take account of the circumstances of the particular nation or state, but it cannot be so light as to not deter the crime.
Jail time is not necessarily the only possible weighty penalty. A heavy fine would be a heavy punishment for those with limited finances. And this also addresses the reason that some women get abortions, the effect of raising a child on their financial situation. But a fine is not sufficient, since the wealthy will not be deterred at all, and the middle class will not be sufficiently deterred. A lengthy amount of community service (perhaps working with children) would be weighty for those who are in the middle or upper classes, since it interferes with their lives. And this addresses another reason that women get abortions, to prevent a disruption to their lives. The combination of a heavy fine plus lengthy community service would perhaps be sufficient to deter the crime and to punish the offenders. However, a lengthy jail sentence should be given to repeat offenders, whether they are the provider of abortion or the recipient.


There are myriad reasons why New Yorker's prefer not to eat Italian food in Little Italy. Too many gullible tourists who think it's authentic, too many look-a-like rooms boasting near-identical menus, too much pressure from manipulative, apron-wasted, hair-slicked-back sidewalk talkers, too many other good options vying for their dining dollars, or perhaps because one can only eat just so many meatballs and just so much red sauce.
It's therefore doubly curious that Frank DeCarlo's rustic exposed vintage brick, concrete-floored, wooden bench filled ristorante Peasant not only dared to defy his neighbors by not succumbing to any of the Italo-American staples and (quite literally) build his own wood-fire oven and rotisserie kitchen, but that his success story has endured the renaming and reshaping of the neighborhood some 15 years later. If you ask any New Yorker if they've ever eaten at Peasant, they will probably say: "Ages ago. Is it still around?" Not only still around but DeCarlo has been consistently packing them in long before, during and (not surprisingly) after Michele Obama and the first daughters' recent visit.
The menu runs the gamut of delicacies from earth, sea and sky, with just enough flavor restraint to allow the benefit of cooking at over 700 degrees to really pay off. The Acciuga E Radice salad is a wonderfully simple combination of mild white anchovies, radishes and crusty croutons tossed in a complimentary red-wine vinaigrette. The appropriately named Polpi in Purgatorio (Octopus in purgatory) though immaculately tamed in a garlic and chili butter would have welcomed a touch more tenderness, but the white-wine, garlic and breadcrumb encrusted Cannolicchi (Razor Clams) were a home run.
The primi piatti selections include a Risotto, a Gnocchi and a tight handful of pastas including a rich and decadent Spaghettini Ricci laden with roasted cherry tomatoes and fresh sea urchin. Even though the fire-crusted-skinned Orata alla Griglia (Grilled Sea Bream) looked rather lonely on top of a rosemary quilt with only a tiny goblet of herb butter for company, the pure ocean flavor and perfectly moist texture is indubitably the best I have ever eaten.
But the money on the table has to be the whole-roasted Rabbit. Although not on the menu, (my hunch says it will be very soon) the leporid is heartily stuffed with rosemary, (clearly chef DeCarlo's favorite go-to herb) and then tightly wrapped in guanciale (pork jowels) which caramelize around the skin forming a smoky, salty and incredibly fragrant aroma. I realize that the thought of a rabbit stuck between the cheeks of a pig might put one over the edge, but the combination of these two worlds on one plate is utterly delicious and completely unforgettable.
Somewhat more forgettable were the ten-more-minutes-on-the-cooker-would-have-done-it Rhubarb and Berry stew, and the overly-dense Chocolate Ganache, but thanks to our waiter's theatrically gesticulating descriptions, via his thick yet disarmingly authentic accent, the dessert options are certainly worth hearing about.

AWS CodePipeline is integrated with a number of products and services. The following sections describe best practices and use cases for CodePipeline and these related products and services.
A simple business use case for CodePipeline can help you understand ways you might implement the service and control user access. The use cases are described in general terms. They do not prescribe the APIs to use to achieve the results you want.
Use the best practices outlined in these sections when using CodePipeline.
If you create a pipeline that uses an Amazon S3 source bucket, configure server-side encryption for artifacts stored in Amazon S3 for CodePipeline by managing AWS KMS-managed keys (SSE-KMS), as described in Configure Server-Side Encryption for Artifacts Stored in Amazon S3 for CodePipeline.
If you create a pipeline that uses a GitHub source repository, configure GitHub authentication. You can use an AWS-managed OAuth token or a customer-managed personal access token, as described in Configure GitHub Authentication.
The time and date of actions.
The source IP address for an action.
Which actions failed due to inadequate permissions.
AWS CloudTrail can be used to log AWS API calls and related events made by or on behalf of an AWS account. For more information, see Logging CodePipeline API Calls with AWS CloudTrail.
Amazon CloudWatch Events can be used to monitor your AWS Cloud resources and the applications you run on AWS. You can create alerts in Amazon CloudWatch Events based on metrics that you define. For more information, see Detect and React to Changes in Pipeline State with Amazon CloudWatch Events.
Use the best practices provided in this section for pipelines with a Jenkins action provider.
As a best practice, when you use a Jenkins build provider for your pipeline's build or test action, install Jenkins on an Amazon EC2 instance and configure a separate EC2 instance profile. Make sure the instance profile grants Jenkins only the AWS permissions required to perform tasks for your project, such as retrieving files from Amazon S3.
The instance profile provides applications running on an Amazon EC2 instance with the credentials to access other AWS services. As a result, you do not need to configure AWS credentials (AWS access key and secret key).
To learn how to create the role for your Jenkins instance profile, see the steps in Create an IAM Role to Use for Jenkins Integration.
You can create pipelines that integrate with other AWS services. These can be AWS services, such as Amazon S3, or third-party products, such as GitHub. This section provides examples for using CodePipeline to automate your code releases using different product integrations. For a full list of integrations with CodePipeline organized by action type, see CodePipeline Pipeline Structure Reference.
The steps in Tutorial: Create a Simple Pipeline (Amazon S3 Bucket) help you use the wizard to create a pipeline with two default stages: "Source" and "Staging", where your Amazon S3 repository is the source provider. This tutorial creates a pipeline that uses AWS CodeDeploy to deploy a sample application from an Amazon S3 bucket to Amazon EC2 instances running Amazon Linux.
The steps in Tutorial: Create a Simple Pipeline (CodeCommit Repository) help you use the wizard to create a pipeline with a "Source" stage that uses your AWS CodeCommit repository as the source provider. This tutorial creates a pipeline that uses AWS CodeDeploy to deploy a sample application from an AWS CodeCommit repository to an Amazon EC2 instance running Amazon Linux.
Uses AWS CodeDeploy to deploy the built and tested source code to Amazon EC2 instances running Amazon Linux or Microsoft Windows Server.
AWS CodeStar is a cloud-based service that provides a unified user interface for managing software development projects on AWS. AWS CodeStar works with CodePipeline to combine AWS resources into a project development toolchain. You can use your AWS CodeStar dashboard to automatically create the pipeline, repositories, source code, build spec files, deployment method, and hosting instances or serverless instances required for a complete code project.
To create your AWS CodeStar project, you choose your coding language and the type of application you want to deploy. You can create the following project types: a web application, a web service, or an Alexa skill.
At any time, you can integrate your preferred IDE into your AWS CodeStar dashboard. You can also add and remove team members and manage permissions for team members on your project. For a tutorial that shows you how to use AWS CodeStar to create a sample pipeline for a serverless application, see Tutorial: Creating and Managing a Serverless Project in AWS CodeStar.
CodeBuild is a managed build service in the cloud that lets you build and test your code without a server or system. Use CodePipeline with CodeBuild to automate running revisions through the pipeline for continuous delivery of software builds whenever there is a change to the source code. For more information, see Use AWS CodePipeline with CodeBuild to Test Code and Run Builds.
Amazon ECS is a container management service that lets you deploy container-based applications to Amazon ECS instances in the cloud. Use CodePipeline with Amazon ECS to automate running revisions through the pipeline for continuous deployment of container-based applications whenever there is a change to the source image repository. For more information, see Tutorial: Continuous Deployment with CodePipeline.
Elastic Beanstalk is a compute service that lets you deploy web applications and services to web servers. Use CodePipeline with Elastic Beanstalk for continuous deployment of web applications to your application environment. You can also use AWS CodeStar to create a pipeline with an Elastic Beanstalk deploy action.
You can use AWS Lambda with CodePipeline for invoking an AWS Lambda function, as described in Automating Deployment of Lambda-based Applications. You can also use AWS Lambda and AWS CodeStar to create a pipeline for deploying serverless applications.
You can use AWS CloudFormation with CodePipeline for continuous delivery and automation. For more information, see Continuous Delivery with CodePipeline. AWS CloudFormation is also used to create the templates for pipelines created in AWS CodeStar.

Sacred values
The role of religion
Conflicts over moral values drawn from religious beliefs play a significant role in conversations about government regulations and policies. While there is a strong argument for keeping religion and faith-based values out of civil proceedings, it is also clear that religion – specifically Christianity – was an integral part of the lives and motivations of our Founding Fathers. "In God We Trust" is sculpted onto our coinage, and the president takes the oath of office holding one hand on a Bible.
What happens in society when the beliefs of one religion are in conflict with another? Which one should prevail? Are Right-to-Life advocates or those opposed to same sex marriage based upon deeply-felt, religious values wrongly trying to to impose their beliefs on others? How should the beliefs of atheists be respected?
How are church and state to be separated?
Freedom of religion – some say the rise of Christianity itself – can be traced to the Roman Emperor Constantine's Edict of Man (313 AD), which introduced a limitation or separation between government and religion. The policy had practical benefits to the government regarding civil matters (property ownership and taxes), and established the precedent of religious tolerance.
Since then, however, religious intolerance has been evident throughout the world and in the United States. From the time of John Smith and Roger Williams in 17th century New England, religion and faith-based values have been closely tied to power and governance in America – resulting in the imprisonment, torture and death of people strictly because of their religious beliefs:
Read about the Salem witch trials on Discovery Education
Mormon Church founder Joseph Smith murdered while in prison in Ohio, 1844
Your liberty ends at my nose
— Keith Gray, U.S. Army Infantry, middle school teacher (retired)
Religious tolerance implies a separation between church and state; as do the U.S. Constitution and subsequent writings of our Founding Fathers. Principles set forth in the historical record imply the independence of government from the moral values espoused by any organized religion. Rather, civil matters are governed by principles established by law, which may include humanitarian or moral values, but which are interpreted through the application of non-sectarian, undiscriminating logic.
While the government should not favor or discriminate against any religion or its members, it is likewise inappropriate (a form of discrimination) for the sacred values of one religion to be imposed by legal means on those of different religions or the general public. Even though 2/3 of the population of the U.S. profess a strong belief in the existance of God, faith cannot be the sole basis for law.
So … one's religious beliefs are a protected personal right – so long as they do not impose on the rights of others – and can guide one's values, life, and decisions. Of equal importance is religious tolerance, which enables people of different sacred values to live together under one set of faith-neutral civil laws.

Police Horse 'Winston'
October 31, 2016 March 11, 2017 Chairman@ImberCourt Imber History, Police Heritage
The memorial to Winston's final resting place can still be found in the grounds of Imber Court
Police Horse 'Winston', who sire was Erehwemos was foaled in Yorkshire in 1937.
In 1944 he was purchased by the Mounted Branch of the Metropolitan Police Service and following tradition the letter 'W' was used to name all police horses that year. Winston was named after Winston Churchill. As a police horse Winston was often present on duty at public events such as the Changing of the Guard.
In 1947 Winston carried King George VI during the first Trooping of the Colour since 1939. Winston participated in various roles in other Royal ceremonial events when not working as a police horse.
From 1949 to 1951 , then Princess Elizabeth took her father's place at the ceremony becoming the first British Queen since Elizabeth I to review her troops on horseback. Though other police horses were made available, the Queen always preferred Winston.
During the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II procession Winston was ridden by Sir John Nott-Bower then Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis.
Winston retired from Troopings and other Royal Duties in 1956. Whilst later being ridden by a mounted police officer at Imber Court, Winston slipped and dislocated his back on the 7th February 1957 , requiring him to be destroyed.
An original photograph of Winston can be found in the members bar in the Club House at Imber Court and on the 7th February every year glasses are raised….
Dispelling The Myths & Rumours
October 31, 2016 March 11, 2017 Chairman@ImberCourt Imber Facts, Imber History
Imber Court is being sold to build a new Housing Estate!
Imber Court is to be become a 'Free School'
Neither are True.
In August 2015 we signed a 35 year lease to guarantee our occupation at Imber Court as a sports and recreation club. We are here until at least 2050
Imber Court is a Club for Police Officers only
Absolutely Not True
For a number of years Imber Court has welcomed local residents as members of our Club. At the last count there are over 500 individuals, partners and families at Imber who are local residents. We have a real diversity of membership.
Imber Court is a Club with a police heritage which we are proud of. You will notice this as you use the Club House, the facilities and grounds as there are many artifacts, pictures etc reminding us of the heritage. The club is also home to the Metropolitan Police Rugby, Football, Cricket and Bowls Clubs. However due to our extensive facilities, football for example, we can also claim to be home to other football clubs such as Weirside Rangers FC and Maori Vets FC.
In respect of our history the land was purchased in 1919 with the original purpose of providing a training centre for the Metropolitan Police Mounted Branch. However not all the land was required and in the early 1920's much of the land and meadows were turned into playing surfaces with monies that police officers donated themselves. A donation from The National Police Fund also paid for the building of the main clubhouse.
The Club was officially opened on 11th June 1929 by H.R.H. Prince George and has operated as a sports and recreation facility since then.
Over the intervening years the Club has operated (as it still does today) as a non-profit making entity. This means any profits made (through our commercial activities) are always ploughed back into the Club, enhancing the facilities for its users.
Becoming a member at Imber Court is a straight forward process and if you are interested pop in and talk to our staff, visit our website www.imbercourt.com or ring the office on 0208 398 1267 x 4 and ask for Julie our membership secretary.


This team, comprised of Audrey Gallier (Captain, '19), Aleah Brown (Captain, '19), Rowan Eggert ('21), Celeste Izaguirre ('21), Sabirah Taiwo ('21), Kayla Quigley ('21), Grace Mitchell ('19), Megan Ptak ('21), Jumobi Arowolo ('20), Amayrani Sanchez ('19), and Brooke Cambra ('19), collaborated to finish their season off strong.
The basketball team mixed many sophomores without varsity experience with seniors who have played during all their years at IMSA. The team's main obstacle was learning how to play together and communicate with each other both on and off the court. However, towards the end of the season, during their regional game, there was clear improvement. Although IMSA lost, they still gave the opposing team a run for their money. The team's record was 4-15 and in their conference, 1-6.
Brown maintains a constant positivity about the team evident through all her accounts about the girls' hard work and determination this season. Her optimistic mindset provided the fuel to rebuild the team and hopefully empower the members for years to come.
Make sure to watch the girl's basketball team in coming years, and congratulations to this year's team for a great season!

Super hot sand could help us store renewable energy
It'd be much cheaper than lithium battery storage.
By Angely Mercado | Updated Sep 9, 2021 12:14 PM
A new project explores the possibility of using silica sand over and over to trap thermal energy and release it to utilities when needed. Sergeystt/Deposit Photos
The US is pushing to decarbonize its energy sources to stay in line with the Biden-Harris administration's goal of net zero emissions by 2050. Major urban centers around the country like New York City and New Orleans have independently set timelines for net zero emissions by 2050 as well.
For decarbonization to work, it'll mean building in energy storage so that grids are functional when renewable sources aren't readily available. Doing so will mean expanding lithium battery storage for renewable sources like wind or solar energy. Thankfully, that technology is becoming more and more accessible. According to a Yale Environment 360 report, the country saw a record 1.2 gigawatts of battery storage installed in 2020. That number is expected to increase within the next few years to a little more than 7 gigawatts by 2025.
But there are challenges to decarbonizing different parts of an economy, especially when everything from residential buildings to businesses need energy storage that lasts longer and at lower costs to avoid sliding back to fossil fuels to power their utilities.
[Related: This century-old technology could be the key to the future of energy storage]
To meet that challenge, researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are testing new thermal energy storage technology that uses inexpensive silica sand as a medium. Economic Long-Duration Electricity Storage by Using Low-Cost Thermal Energy Storage and High-Efficiency Power Cycle, otherwise known as the ENDURING project, takes excess electricity from wind or solar and uses it to super heat silica sand. Zhiwen Ma, a researcher of the ENDURING project, sees the experimental solution as a way to achieve net zero in the near future.
"While decarbonization of electricity has a clear path, decarbonization of the whole economy―which includes things like building heat and industrial processes―is more challenging because natural gas is very cheap, making it hard to displace," Ma said in an NREL press release last week.
The system works when the silica sand, which has a high potential for retaining and conducting thermal energy, is gravity fed through a heater that can reach a staggering 1,200° Celsius. Once toasted, the particles are fed into insulated silos made of concrete for days of storage. When energy is needed, the sand goes through a heat exchanger that then pressurizes gas to power turbomachinery and spin generators that create the electricity.
The size of the silos can be scaled up or down according to the energy needed. (In the diagrams released by NREL, they look several stories tall.) The entire system can be hooked up to an existing grid, or be placed in a decommissioned coal or gas plant. Researchers explained that the stored thermal energy can be discharged during peak electricity usage when wind and solar power are limited, such as in the early morning or evenings when people are more likely to be at home and using multiple appliances at one time.

According to the press release, a single silica sand system can store up to 26,000 megawatt hours (or 26 gigawatt hours) of thermal energy. To compare, a report from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission states that "for conventional generators, such as a coal plant, a megawatt of capacity will produce electricity that equates to about the same amount of electricity consumed by 400 to 900 homes in a year." Renewable energy sources like solar, however, would power fewer homes at a time.
Researchers like Ma think that using silica sand for thermal energy storage over and over can help replace traditional heating fuels like coal and natural gas. What's more, the sand cost about $50 per ton, which is much cheaper than the per-unit cost of lithium batteries (though prices are falling there as well).
Other ENDURING researchers like Patrick Davenport agree that the silica sand storage system can help phase out less sustainable energy sources. "Sand and concrete silos with refractory insulation are very inexpensive materials that can lead to low-cost energy storage," he said in the press release. "Traditional four-hour storage technologies don't scale well to the grid or city scale," he continued, referring to battery storage. "Now that we are in need of large-scale energy storage, this technology makes a lot of sense."

Very well written article! Two of my takeaways - "The 9 minute videos that are fashionable today demonstrate mechanical steps to reach a simplistic goal." This is the exact reason why beginners feel difficulties when they write their own code. "if code is something you think about when you are not in front of a computer, than I recommend you stick with programming, you'll go far." I think this is one of the best advise for beginners.
I don't agree with the try to write your own webserver or database part. Why not embrace being a high level programmer? Understanding different datastructures is one of the things that seperates a good programmer from a mediocre one, and just getting your feet wet with C or C++ might be what you need to understand objects and references, that's how I got the hang of it. (you'd be surprised, but it's something I have seen many experienced developers struggle with) When it comes to writing code, in pretty much any language you can do 90% when you know 20%. The writing of code might be the first challenge, but it is definitely one of the easiest. Writing good code might be a little bit harder, but you don't need to be all that experienced before you will realize that understanding the problem and the conceptual solution makes writing the actual code almost a formality. - putting thought and effort into the code might raise the quality, but then quality at this level, with the right concepts behind it, mostly translates into readability and maintainability. - something that mostly have value when working with others. I will agree that the daunting part of starting today is there are so very many things to know, and if you have a project in mind to start with that touches too many things, you can basically forget it. One step at a time, don't start with a singlepage application backed by a webapi using a sql server. - yes it might well be where you end up, thats all very common stuff, but that would be starting with at least 5 languages and 2 frameworks. At least!
I agree that starting out today is more challenging than the "early years". To create a web application, you need to learn the syntax for any number of technologies and frameworks. You also should attempt to pick the best one for your project. I think that's the hardest part of it all. My current dilemma is that I want to write an MVC app with SignalR and some kind of 2-way databinding framework. The problem is that I have read a dozen different blogs and still don't have a good idea of what pitfalls are ahead of me. The ignorance (lack of knowledge/experience) of the multitude of different frameworks leads to a self-perpetuating insecurity of whether or not you chose the best one. I still don't know if using Knockout or Aurelia or some other framework is better or worse. I've decided to write my project in both just to see which I like better. I think they will both perform in equivalent ways.
Great article indeed... Programming is more like mathematics or any subject which requires a lot of practice, some people find it easy and to some it's very hard. It really depends on individuals. Through lots of practice, one gains experience and it becomes easy to even learn new patterns and programming languages on your own. Passion and Practice!!!
I can't believe you didn't make mention of Stackoverflow :-) Learning the mechanics of programming from a book called how to learn Vb6 in 30 days is much more difficult than googling for answers. Learning the art of designing and coding systems is something that comes with time and experience and learning from a good set of peers.


I'm an extrovert, usually a very happy sanguine—except when my schedule is so full I can't think. At those times, I find myself desperately desiring the solitude that an introvert enjoys.
Many, many years ago, I kept an incredibly hectic schedule (with both business and ministry) and thought I managed it exceptionally well. (What did I know?) But one day, the Lord halted all of it. After I regained my balance and repositioned my priorities (God, husband, children, and ministry—in that order), I was vigilant in reviewing every commitment. I maintained that for a long time, for my children and myself. My husband and I were very careful to keep from being overwhelmed by too many activities. There were occasional spurts of stressful activity—you can't run from all of them. But they were brief, and I quickly settled back into my carefully constructed routine. As a result, we were able to spend a great deal of quality time together, and created many lasting memories. We wanted our children to have a strong sense of family—who we were—who they were.
Now they are teenagers. Busy teenagers.
We had a good summer break. My kids thrived relationally without the added stress of homework, tests, and projects. For the most part, everyone was happy! Last week, however, everything changed. We had already added morning and evening rehearsals, but in my desire to give my kids wonderful, last minute, summer fun, I filled every waking hour that wasn't already committed, with trips to water parks, visits to grandparents, lunches out, and shopping trips. Once again, and too quickly, I was a basket case.
I walked away feeling dry and empty.
Yesterday was the second day of school. I got up earlier than the day before and had unhurried time with the Lord. One of the Scriptures I read was Psalm 23. Typically, I read that psalm and immediately think about the comfort it brings to people walking through deep suffering. But the first three verses spoke fresh encouragement to me.
Isn't that beautiful? I needed that desperately this morning. My soul has been dry and weary from the busyness of overcommitment during the last school year and the recent summer. My Shepherd lets me, literally, rest–in–peace. I can be like a strong tree, bearing fruit, and bringing honor to Him because I chose The Best Yes.
This year, I am taking a break from leading Bible studies. I'm still attending, but not bearing the responsibility of caring, preparing, and teaching. Instead, my focus will be on my blog and completing a Bible study I want to have published. I'm looking forward to enjoying my kids and their activities, without feeling guilty about ministry commitment conflicts.
"The decisions you make determine the schedule you keep. The schedule you keep determines the life you live. And how you live your life determines how you spend your soul.
Most of all, I'm anticipating joy-filled moments with my Shepherd, who satisfies my soul-thirst.

Vincent Bounoure (né le  à Strasbourg et mort le  à Paris) est un poète et écrivain surréaliste, expert en objets d'art premier.

Biographie
Neveu d'un critique littéraire, Gabriel Bounoure, Vincent s'intéresse à la littérature et aux arts dès son plus jeune âge, mais poursuit, à la demande de ses parents, des études scientifiques qui le conduisent à l'École des Mines de Nancy.

À sa sortie de l'école, il s'installe à Paris où il travaille dans un bureau d'architecture industrielle, et fréquente Jean-Louis Bédouin et Benjamin Péret, deux membres du groupe surréaliste parisien, auquel il participe à partir des années 1950 et jusqu'à la dissolution du groupe, en 1969, à l'initiative de Jean Schuster.

Il tente alors de reconstituer une activité surréaliste collective, ce qui se traduit par la publication d'un Bulletin de liaison surréaliste, qui paraît de 1970 à 1976.

Ce bulletin, orienté à l'extrême-gauche, témoigne, outre l'activité littéraire, de l'intérêt que Bounoure, déjà signataire de l'appel des 121 en 1960, porte aux questions politiques.

A la fin de la décennie, il apporte son soutien à la Charte 77 ou aux opposants à la dictature militaire en Argentine.

Cela aboutit à la publication, en 1976, de La Civilisation surréaliste, en collaboration avec Michael Löwy et Michel Lequenne, puis à l'éphémère revue Surréalisme (deux numéros, en 1977).

À partir de 1974, il se spécialise dans les arts premiers, qu'on appelle alors « primitifs » ou « sauvages », et, en 1976, devient expert en ventes publiques dans ce domaine.

Many years passed since my first encounter with Himachal Pradesh. It was the next day after my arrival in India. That time I was working for a consulting company in Delhi. Since one of the company's clients was in Shimla, it was a great idea to take a drive to Himalaya after a 25-hour long flight (sarcasm! yet Himachal is always a better idea in May than Delhi).
I still remember my head whirling the whole day after a crazy night drive on the serpentine roads; an altitude was pulsating in my head. Now it's funny to talk about Shimla altitude (2300m) after I've crossed numerous 5000+ meter passes. At that time, my biggest achievement was climbing a 200m high neighboring hill in my grandmom's village. So yeah, I felt the altitude!
Shimla was the first place where I've seen mountains for real, yet it's a crowded city filled with local people and tourists. I'm more into villages and smaller towns (*cough* tells a girl who spent a few years living in the most populated cities in India).
Himachal Pradesh has numerous charming villages which I've discovered independently throughout the year. In this post, I put a practical travel guide to Jibhi and what type of travelers will definitely enjoy this experience.
Jibhi and its neighboring villages were a hidden paradise for me after Manali. I have to confess, I dislike most of the popular destinations in India because there is high traffic, noise pollution, constructions and overpriced charges for many basic services. Hill stations like Manali are beautiful, but in my humble opinion mass tourism has killed it.
Jibhi is so far less explored destination and, in my opinion, this town and its neighboring villages will not become a "hit", because these places target a certain audience. I could relate it somehow to Aru Village in Kashmir – very beautiful, remote and not for everyone.
Being a part of Banjar Valley, Jibhi is a hill station with, mainly, homestays, a few guesthouses (ran by families) and cafes which are managed basically by the same homestays. It's a great destination to come and settle for a few days/weeks, go for trekking, but there are no trendy crowd-attracting activities like in Shimla or Manali. Also, there are no souvenir shops to cater to mass tourism needs.
The lack of commercialization makes this place a beautiful retreat from the big city life into a natural ambiance with picturesque views.
It purely depends on your Goals. The peak season is from March to May. It's time when summer comes to some parts of India and people are looking to escape the heat. The weather stays chilly during the night and pleasant during the daytime.
March to May is the best time to visit Jibhi weather wise. If you are planning an active stay with day treks, visiting neighboring villages and some adventure activities this is the time to choose.
If you are looking to escape travelers and rather do a "workation", visit Jibhi during monsoons from June to September. It's one of the places you can sit in a warm blanket and socks on a balcony with a cup of tea watching rainy green mountains and breathing fresh chilly air. Like on those seasonal instagram accounts.
Despite I adore Himalaya during monsoons, it's the most unstable weather, when floods and landslides might occur. While you will encounter seasonal fruit, natural beauty and authentic stay due to the offseason, you need to be ready to miss some of the adventurous activities.
Jibhi in Autumn opens to you a warm color scheme and sunny fresh mornings. If you are looking to experience autumn colors, October and beginning of November is your time. Nevertheless, the weather gets colder day by day, so pack accordingly.
If you are looking to experience morning frost and snowfall – winter is your season. Visit Jibhi from December to February. Though winter is a special experience in Himalaya, keep in mind, there is no central heating in India. Take all the warm clothes with you and savor local hot chai.

What to do in Jibhi?
Enjoy nature. Jibhi is a slow travel destination, where you can sit for hours near the river listening to the water flow. The air is clean and there is no traffic disrupting peaceful life of the villagers. There is just one road passing through the village with handful buses and cars going to Jalori pass.
Trek – you can climb to the neighboring village Gada Gushaini which looks even more offbeat than Jibhi. Since it is uphill, you will get a picturesque view from there. There is also a waterfall 2 hours walk from Jibhi, which you can visit in the monsoon season or right after it.
Visit Jalori Pass. The pass is 13 km away from the village. There is also a day trek to the serene Serolsar lake from the Pass.
Visit neighboring villages. For more natural delight, explore the neighboring villages – Shoja with its step-like mountain fields, Ghiyagi for the grey roof houses surrounded by wheat fields, Tandi with small waterfalls within the river, Chaini which has one of the best representations of wooden architecture in Himachal – all these villages are small and picturesque.
Looking for more unusual experiences in Himalaya? Visit a sustainable school in Ladakh.
Jibhi homestay and hotels – where to stay?
There are plenty of homestays and guesthouses with a common price 500-700 INR. You can find cheaper if you are ready to compromise on some conditions as well as luxury options if you are looking for a proper retreat. There are also plenty of camps in Jibhi if you are into this thing.
I'm a huge fan of balconies and terraces in the mountains because I often have to live in my laptop. I've stayed in Rana Homestay in Jibhi. The family running this place is very lovely, you can expect plenty of homey yummy local food and I swear, this lady makes the best ajwain(it's a spice) parathas I've ever tried.
I liked my working place in the homestay overlooking the river and forest. It's close to the bridge and bus stop which was convenient for me in the side-trips. Note, if you come here for a silent one-place retreat and don't intend to travel too much, you can check the neighboring village of Gada Gushaini (it doesn't have the access to the main road, so even less transport goes there) or choose more remote accommodation options in Jibhi far away from the road. I shared my logic behind choosing this homestay.
On the way to Jibhi Inn, there is another homestay in the field of wheat and apple trees. The lady was very lovely there offering tea for the visitors. I don't recall the name of the guesthouse unfortunately and it's not online.
Read also: How to find accommodation in India?
These are all mid-range options within 1000 INR + – budget. If you don't care much about location, view and a few other conditions, you can find a place to crash for 500 INR within the season, but it will not be online of course and it will take a good walk around the village to find this.
Where to eat in Jibhi?
Wild strawberries – yummy and free! Anyone for the walk through the forest?
There are many eating spots, but most of them are part of the guesthouses/homestays. In my opinion, the most practical solution is to take food in your homestay. I've seen just a few "independent" cafes in the town – one local café near the bridge and another one at the roof of Asha Homestay. The last one has nice ambient music, a hilly view and reasonable prices.
As mentioned previously, Jibhi is not a trendy tourist spot comparing to some neighboring towns and that's why some of you may like it.
How to reach from Manali and Delhi to Jibhi?
Jibhi lies somewhere between Manali and Delhi (though not on the highway). You can also reach it from Shimla, Chandigarh and other bigger cities of Punjab state. If you start from Manali or Delhi, take a bus to Aut Village (Aut Tunnel). There are regular local buses and it costs 103 INR from Manali to Aut.
From Aut you need to take another local bus to Banjar – this is a big town in Kullu district which also serves as a starting point to numerous destinations in Tirthan Valley.
There are hourly buses starting from Aut Village. It takes 1 hour to reach from Aut village to Banjar and costs 35 INR. From Banjar, there are also a few buses towards Jibhi and neighboring villages. The journey takes around 1 hour and costs 20 INR.
If you travel by local bus from Manali to Jibhi it takes overall 6 hours to reach and costs 160 INR. You can find as well Volvo buses, but the price will be significantly higher.
If you start from Delhi or cities in Panjab, you might find direct local transport to Aut or arrive up till Mandi – it's a big hill city in Himachal. From there you can get regular buses to Aut throughout the day. The bus ticket costs 60 INR and it takes one hour to reach from Mandi to Aut.
There is airtel 4G network in Jibhi, but you can find it only close to the road and outside the homes. Inside the homestays I rarely got a connection, thus if you plan to work, choose places with balconies and/or terraces.
I recommend spending at least three days in the area. In my opinion, it doesn't make sense to come here on one day off, because you would rather exhaust yourself. The road is quite long, plus it's hard to understand much of this place during a short stay.
Buy local fruits and veggies when you are in Jibhi. There will be products imported from other states of India, but local is always the best. E.g. tomatoes, cucumber, cherries, strawberries, apples – depending on the season.
Are you getting well with technology? Help genuinely good homestays to register on Booking and similar platforms so more people find out about them.
Here you have a quick guide to Jibhi which can give you an idea about this offbeat gem in Himachal. What about you? Do you have your favorite villages in Himalaya?

Q: Aura:If vs Styling to show/hide content Are there any benefits/negatives from either of the approaches below to conditionally show content in a Lightning component?
<aura:if isTrue="{! v.myBoolean }">
    The Content
</aura:id>

versus
<div class="{! v.myBoolean ? 'slds-show' : 'slds-hide'}">
    The Content
</div>

A: The benefit of aura:if is it does not even create the content inside its block if the conditions are false, thus it can help you make lightweight applications.
Hiding a div via CSS will still create the block and thus I feel, it will be bad for performance.
According to Salesforce docs

Using the aura:if tag is the preferred approach to conditionally
  display markup but there are alternatives. Consider the performance
  cost and code maintainability when you design components. The best
  design choice depends on your use case.

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/components_conditional_markup.htm?search_text=aura:if

A: Another purpose of using slds-hide is that it creates the content inside you div but will not display it on the UI. This can be useful if you have used some Input fields inside the div along with aura:id to validate the data before saving it into the database.
Whereas aura:if will not even create the content if the condition fails. And on Condition fail, the aura:id will not hold the updated data.

A: First of all you don't need to use slds-show. If you remove 'slds-hide' the component displays anyway, but that's not the main question here.
Difference between those two is that <aura:if/> actually removes instance of contents from your page and slds-hide just hides it from view. Removing contents from page is usually better for optimization but keep in mind that if you re-instantiate them on a runtime they'll be back at the original state (just as you coded them in the first place).

Sessions have Each of the event handlers may engage in ablocking I/O operation, for example to fetch the attributes. In doing so it indicates what event the upcall. A queue associated with the session will complete the asynchronous operation.
Lento also needs a variety of daemon sessions, example, we have the ReqDispatcher, which which are not garbage collected but perform sets up new request handling sessions. For the management of client initiated connections, we use Connector daemons, which create a TCP packet: requests, messages, replies, data, end- socket connect to a server, and manage the Lento also uses various tables: tables exist for servers, volumes, and file system objects, each Completion Tokens (ACT's, see [ace]) which with their own attributes.

Human always prefer the luxury life it is in nature of human he work day and night just only because he want to satisfied his basic need and fulfill its self Esteem and once he satisfied his basic need the move to luxury. UAE especially Dubai is place of Dream Many People Came in Dubai to change their life many succeed in this goal but some get Fail and today we discuss one of biggest Reason which force a person to live the Dubai and leads him to Failure and its effect on Etihad Credit Bureau.
Credit Card is most sensitive product to Handle it comes with many features but if you fail to pay the Minimum Due Payment then things get worse we will try to understand what happen if you fail to pay the due amount in Steps.
This is beginning once you start late payment your profile goes to 1st Bucket and a red mark shows in your Etihad Credit Bureau but if you pay the due Amount with Late Payment because in 1st Bucket there is no harm and your profile is still safe and you can apply to any bank many people forget to pay the credit card bill because they are new and don't know how to handle the product you have 45 days to pay your bill if you want to understand bill cycle of Credit Card you can visit leopardmoney Credit Card page.
An Alarming Situation will start if your profile moves to 2nd bucket if you don't pay for three month bill then your Credit Score will Decline rapidly and now you are not Eligible for any bank product if you apply to any bank your profile is straight away get Rejected because now all the bank is link with Eithad which is department keep record of all your Financial Report and every bank send monthly Report to Eithad in 2nd bucket your case refer to collection Department and you will start receiving lots of calls they will request you pay the bill or sometime threat you that they will file a case against you.
You are in Trouble if your profile move to 3rd Bucket now you are black listed and collection Department let suppose you take a Credit Card from Dunia Finance and not pay for many months they file a case against you and present your cheaque to Court and you will receive a call from Police Station to report in Court and now it's time to face the judicial Matters.
So Credit Card use makes many people life easy but also worst if they fail to handle this product and many people leave the country because they are not able to face the judicial process so if you take any financial Product thing twice before using it negative.

Study Sheds New Light on Water Splitting Reaction of Photosynthesis
A special combination of chemical analysis and nanoscale imaging has allowed an international research team to identify a crucial step in the molecular mechanism that contributes to the water-splitting reaction of photosynthesis. This latest discovery may lead to the development of renewable energy technology.
Image Credit: Greg Stewart/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Life depends on the oxygen that plants and algae split from water; how they do it is still a mystery, but scientists, including our team, are slowly peeling away the layers to get to the answer.
Vittal K. Yachandra, Study Co-Lead Author and Chemist Senior Scientist, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Department of Energy
Yachandra continued, "If we can understand this step of natural photosynthesis, it would enable us to use those design principles for building artificial photosynthetic systems that produce clean and renewable energy from sunlight and water."
The study was published in the PNAS journal.
The researchers had earlier designed and fabricated an instrument that they employed to examine photosynthetic proteins using both X-ray emission spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
This dual technique, which the researchers had initially developed and have been improving for the last decade, produces chemical and protein structure data from the same sample simultaneously. The imaging was carried out with the X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) at SACLA based in Japan and at the LCLS based at SLAC National Laboratory.
With this technique, we get the overall picture of how the entire protein structure dynamically changes and we see the chemical intricacies occurring at the reaction site. The X-ray free electron laser produces extremely bright, short bursts of X-rays that allow us to not only analyze a protein at room temperature, which is how these reactions occur in nature, but also capture various moments over the reaction time scale.

In conventional crystallography techniques, the sample proteins had to be usually frozen and, as a result, they can only produce images of static proteins. Due to this limitation, researchers find it difficult to get a grip of the accurate behavior of proteins in living organisms. This is because the molecules deform between varying physical states at the time of chemical reactions.
"The water-splitting reaction in photosynthesis is a cyclical process that needs four photons and cycles between four stable 'states'," Yano added. "Previously, we could only take pictures of these four states. But by taking multiple snapshots in time, we now can visualize how one state goes to the other."
We saw, really nicely, how the structure changes step-by-step as it transforms from one state to the next state. It is pretty exciting, because we can see the 'cause and effect' and the role that each moving atom plays in this transition.
Jan F. Kern, Study Co-Author and Chemist, Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging Division, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory
Nicholas K. Sauter, the study's co-author and computational senior scientist at Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging Division, added, "Essentially, we're trying to take a 'movie' of a chemical reaction. We made a lot of progress to get to this point, in terms of our technology and our computational analyses."
Sauter continued, "The work of our co-author Paul Adams and others in MBIB was critical to interpreting the XFEL and X-ray data But we still have to get the other frames to see how the reaction is completed and the enzyme is ready for the next cycle."
The scientists at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Lab are hoping to pursue the new project as soon as the various research sites—situated in the United States, South Korea, Switzerland, and Japan—begin to operate normally after the COVID-19 pandemic. Incidentally, the entire international research community depends on these research sites.
Kern further observed that the technological milestone demonstrated in this study has considerably gained from the different know-how of the authors from Humboldt University based in Germany, SLAC, as well as Uppsala and Umeå Universities based in Sweden.
The study also benefited from the capabilities of five DOE Office of Science user facilities—the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource and LCLS at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and the Advanced Light Source, Energy Sciences Network, and National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.
Other researchers from Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory who contributed to this study include Ruchira Chatterjee, Louise Lassalle, Kyle D. Sutherlin, Iris D. Young, Sheraz Gul, In-Sik Kim, Philipp S. Simon, Isabel Bogacz, Cindy C. Pham, Nicholas Saichek, Trent Northen, Asmit Bhowmick, Robert Bolotovsky, Derek Mendez, Nigel W. Moriarty, James M. Holton, Aaron S. Brewster, and David Skinner.
The study was mainly funded by the DOE Office of Science and by grants from the National Institutes of Health.
