In 2005 a bronze statue of the second Czechoslovak president Edvard Beneš was unveiled in fornt of the Černín Palace, the seat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The statue was cast in bronze based on an original by K. Dvořák, made during the life of Beneš, and installed by the Edvard Beneš Society with the support of associations of legionary, foreign pilots or freedom fighters. Unveiling of the statue stirred political controversy though.

Movie Review – King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (2017)
April 18, 2017 by Matthew Lee Leave a Comment
King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, 2017.
Directed by Jared Cohn.
Starring Sara Malakul Lane, Eoin O'Brien, Alex Winters, Kelly B. Jones, Russell Geoffrey Banks, Jon Nutt, Asia Marie, Byron Gibson, Harold Diamond, Jack Easton, Eilidh 'Ailey' MacQueen, Tanja Keller, and Ron Smoorenburg.
In this modern retelling of the classic tale, facing certain defeat, Merlin banishes the evil enchantress Morgana and her son Mordred to the ends of the universe. Vowing revenge, Morgana and her son return to Earth, hell-bent on destroying every last descendant of King Arthur and his Knights.
In the face of the blockbuster King Arthur: Legend of the Sword that nobody asked for, we're also treated to a mockbuster that nobody knew that wanted. This particular mockbuster feels more meta than usual, as though it's poking fun at the unwantedness of the actual blockbuster. Nonetheless, they both exist and we're here to talk about the latter.
The film opens in true The Asylum fashion by wearing its low-budgeted limitations firmly on its sleeve only to ignore it and work around it. It opens with a legend of King Arthur (Byron Gibson) banishing sorceress Morgana (Sara Malakul Lane) and her son Mordred (Russell Geoffrey Banks) to space. Leap ahead 1500 years to modern Thailand where we meet our protagonists in a weapons training session; couple Penn (Eoin O'Brien) and Jenna (Kelly B. Jones). After sparring Jenna makes tenuous connections to the King Arthur legend, courtesy of Penn's cousin Gunner (Jon Nutt) who believes their family are descended from the bloodline.
Meanwhile, Morgana and Mordred return to Earth in a spacecraft (which they seem to have built it from their medieval understanding of science and a rock) to reclaim the lineage 1500 years prior.
Yes, this plot does sound ridiculous. It's a screenplay that was clearly written around location opportunities and whatever was next in the blockbuster calendar. If you were watching this at home, and your roommate/partner/family member walked into this opening scene of two Caucasians sparring dojo in a Thai palace, you'll have to explain the connection to the film's premise to the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Or say it's an Asylum film and hope they'll understand.
Morgana and Mordred wear BDSM attire to blend in contemporary Thailand. At first, this is played for laughs, winking at the audience that these medieval sorcerers don't understand contemporary fashion. However, because they keep the BDSM look throughout the film it's uncertain if this is intentional or not.
As is with The Asylum films, it's an awkward film to endure. The clumsy exposition, the forced conflict-resolution dynamics, the uneven acting choices made by the performers, and a catalogue of camera motifs that shows a lack of self-discipline i.e. just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should, all make it a joyless experience as The Asylum films go.
It's not without merit, however. Mordred in the final act provides a (late) Alan Rickman's Snape-inspired performance that is part-comical and part-pathetic. It's uncertain if this is intentionally menacing, or if the actor had given up and gone straight for scene-chewing fun.
The climax, as depicted in the trailer, looks to be a last minute riff on the finale from Power Rangers, right down to the one-dimensional female villain who has quietly been building a horde and consequently becomes a giant villain (of sorts, for that last part may be tenuous). Nonetheless, it's an entertaining, 90s-inspired CGI climax that audiences will be waiting for.
Besides the joyful camp villains, the protagonists are forgettably bland. They take up the heroic tropes of defeating a force beyond their immediate capabilities, a nerdy sidekick who makes nebulous connections between the King Arthur bloodline and the characters, and someone must commit an act of faux-martyrdom for the good of the group.
King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is a slog to sit through, and really for The Asylum fans only. Everyone else should just watch the trailer again.
Flickering Myth Rating – Film: ★★ / Movie: ★★

Q: Pasting into OS X command line adds extraneous characters When I paste text into the Terminal window, Terminal appends 0~ before the pasted string and 1~ after it. I've never seen this behaviour before. If I copy foo from anywhere (including the same Terminal window), pasting into the command line results in:

I tried every method for pasting text into OS X terminal from How to paste into a terminal?, i.,e.
Command v; CommandControlv; Shift + Insert.
Pasting into text editors and browsers (basically, any place other than Terminal) does not add any extra characters. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
I'm using macOS 10.14.2; Terminal version 2.9.1.

Purple Jalapeño Pepper Guide: Heat, Flavor, uses
October 5, 2021 August 3, 2015 by Matt Bray

What are purple jalapeño peppers?
When you think of jalapeños, your mind likely first jumps to green chilies. For those that have grown them or bought them late in the season, you may also envision some red. But a purple jalapeño pepper? That's not a color typically in the palette. The purple jalapeño, though, does exist, and it's a beautiful ornamental pepper hybrid that often shows all three colors on the same plant. Plus, they bring an enjoyable medium heat to the table (2,500 to 8,000 Scoville heat units), with a little more sweetness than your average green jalapeño chili.
How hot is the purple jalapeño?
What do these chilies look like? Are purple jalapeños always purple?

How do you use this pepper?
Where can you buy purple jalapeños?
Purple jalapeño fast facts
Scoville heat units (SHU): 2,500 – 8,000 SHU
Median heat: 5,250 SHU
Capsicum species: Annuum
Jalapeño reference scale: Equal heat
Use: Culinary
Size: Approximately 3 to 5 inches long, tapered
Flavor: Bright, Sweet
It shares the same exact Scoville heat range as the typical jalapeño pepper, 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville heat units. The average purple jalapeño, though, sits a little hotter in that range because of when its harvested. The pepper needs to mature to reach its beautiful purple hue, so there's more time on the vine and that means more capsaicin (the compound that creates the heat) in the plant. Still, this is a very eatable chili and it makes a colorful alternative to the norm.
They look a lot like regular jalapeños, only with the color variation. The chilies grow from three to five inches in length, and they don't start out purple. In fact, they start out green like a typical jalapeño. As they age they take on the deep purple color (almost seeming black at times). Then at full maturity, they return to looking much like the regular jalapeño – turning a rich red hue.
Best of all, a single plant can feature chilies all along this color scale, from green to green transitioning into purple; to purple and purple transitioning into red. The plant also features lovely purple flowers that add to its ornamental appeal.
They share a similar bright bite to a regular jalapeño, but there is a little more sweetness to these chilies, too. And expect just a little more heat than you expect from an average jalapeño (as mentioned above), though, not out of the typical jalapeño range.
Wherever a typical jalapeño can be used, a purple jalapeño can do just as well, with just a little more color flare. They have similarly thick walls that give these chilies a crisp bite that's great on salads and sandwiches, and it makes them excellent for stuffing and pickling. The slighter sweetness is something to consider, but it's still a very bright, grassy flavor you come to expect. Try these chilies, too, in hot sauces, salsas, and spicy dips. It's just as versatile as you'd expect.
Of course, there's the ornamental pepper side to this chili, too. It thrives just as well in containers as it does in gardens, so enjoy this edible ornamental wherever you want to landscape.
Obviously supermarkets are out of the question here – that's the realm of the traditional jalapeño. Instead, look to farmer's markets to find these beauties fresh. That's your best bet, but of course, no guarantee. Or you can grow them yourself if you have a green thumb. Purple jalapeño seeds are easy to pick up online (Amazon) or oftentimes at your local landscaping store. With their beauty, flavor, and versatility, these are chilies that are a ton of fun to grow.

I live in Apartments and my neighbors just love the purple jalapeno and I have it right next to a Fish pepper plant and it has the variegated leaves and fruits of 4 different colors! Eye candy is how i would describe the purple jalapeno plant


Short clip from our Gibson Center talk Jan. '17.
The spinal disc stay healthy when your spine has proper alignment and motion. This circulates fluid to and from the disc to stay healthy. This is similar to a calf muscle staying strong with ankle and knee motion.
When you loose spinal motion, then the opposite can occur: the spine disc will loose more fluid over time and shrink that can lead to disc conditions such as a bulge, herniation; or worse, rupture or tear.

This Texas Quilt Shop Can Teach a Master Class in Winning Over Customers
This small-town business owner built an empire by helping customers follow their passion.
By Leigh Buchanan, Editor-at-large, Inc. magazine@LeighEBuchanan
Debbie Luttrell, owner of Stitchin' Heaven.
Inc. is celebrating Small Business Week 2020 with a look at local merchants beloved by customers whose devotion goes beyond loyalty and well into passion.
Debbie Luttrell remembers the "defining moment." It was a late afternoon in 1996, and she was cashing out the day's receipts--a whopping $35--from the register in Stitchin' Heaven, her startup quilt supply store in Quitman, Texas. Outside the window, her parking lot stood empty. "I thought, 'What in the world have I done to make everyone so angry at me?'" Luttrell recalls.
Luttrell had angered no one. But in a town of 1,895 residents far from major cities, she was selling primo fabric at $7.99-a-yard. For good-enough versions, Walmart charged just $4.99. At Stitchin' Heaven's grand opening months earlier, "Everyone in town came out and welcomed us," says Luttrell. "I know now that people left my store saying, 'That lady is not going to make it.'"
Twenty-four years later, Stitchin' Heaven is a 60-employee company, with $5 million in annual sales and fans who travel thousands of miles to take classes and commune with fellow "piecing" enthusiasts. Recognizing a rare small-town economic engine, Quitman's development office gave Luttrell 12 acres, free of charge, on which she recently built 17,500-square-feet of retail, e-commerce, and office space. A retreat center with 10 guest cottages for visiting quilters is rising near a pond she installed across the parking lot.
At a time when many brick-and-mortar stores are on the ropes, Luttrell--a late-blooming but steely and endlessly creative entrepreneur--is demonstrating just how vibrant retail can still be. For Main Street merchants, the Stitchin' Heaven story is a master class in the wooing, winning, and retention of customers.
If you build it, they won't come.
When Luttrell was 13, her mother taught her how to sew as a leg up in homemaking class. Through high school, the Texas native made most of her own clothes, until she realized it cost less to buy them. "Also, the stuff I made didn't always fit exactly right," she says.
Luttrell went straight from high school into a corporate job at Southwestern Bell. Ten years later, she moved to the yellow pages publisher GTE Directories, where she helped lead the company's successful application for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. That experience instilled in her a lifelong obsession with systems and customer focus.
But it was stressful work requiring lots of travel. Inspired by an aunt who started quilting at age 65, Luttrell, then 40, took up the craft. "I would work on my blocks on the plane," says Luttrell.
In 1993, Luttrell asked her employers for the summer off to spend more time with her son, then in fifth grade. When they said no, she quit. She and her husband, a property-tax consultant, packed up their lives in a suburb of Dallas and relocated to a 200-acre ranch outside of rural Quitman. They planned to raise emus there. But that once hot industry was cooling. "The emus did not happen," says Luttrell.
Bored, Luttrell used a $70,000 bank loan to open Stitchin' Heaven in 1,000 square feet with 600 bolts of fabric. Few customers materialized. With her money running out, Luttrell decided to reinvent her sleepy small business as a destination. "This was not some build-it-and-they-will-come stuff," she says. "I had to stand out. I had to make people come to Quitman to see me."
Becoming a destination.
Luttrell began traveling around Texas to quilt shows, where serious stitchers display their work and compete for prizes. She would rent a booth and sell supplies. Her objective: to collect postal addresses from potential customers. To them she mailed newsletters announcing classes at Stitchin' Heaven taught by quilting celebrities--chiefly book authors and pattern designers.
But Luttrell could only fit eight or 10 people at a time in her store's tiny classroom. And she needed the instructors to teach classes over several days to justify the few hundred dollars it cost to hire them. So she arranged to rent out a nearby campground when it wasn't in use and started hosting retreats. Avid quilters came to stay in cabins with family or friends, combining social stitching sessions with in-store education. Luttrell dubbed the program Camp Quilt S'more.
"We had mothers and daughters, and good friends who would quilt together during the year but wanted a different venue," says Luttrell. The cost was low: just $100 per person for three days. But the retreats and classes were never meant to make money. "I wanted them to come into the store and buy," says Luttrell. To ensure customers experienced the best possible service, she hired only full-time staff--a rarity in retail--and created procedure manuals for each position.
Luttrell's strategy worked with Ana Earl, who started visiting the store in the late 1990s during family fishing vacations to nearby Lake Fork. Since retiring there, she has taken almost every course available. She bought a sewing machine from Luttrell after being intimidated by her classmates' "fancy-dancy" ones. "I love that they are so positive there," says Earl. "They believe if you walk through those doors, you can make something. They will take you by the hand and show you."
The lure of smart promotions.
In 2000, Stitchin' Heaven was named one of the top 10 quilt shops in America by Quilt Sampler magazine. Quilters from around the country signed up for the newsletter, which now went by email. They joined the retreats and traveled to Quitman for an annual outdoor quilt show that Luttrell had launched in a local park. "It gave people an outlet to show the work they'd done and attracted them to the store," she says. "They became repeat customers."
As the internet boomed, Luttrell looked for opportunities to expand her reach beyond Quitman. She came up with Block of the Month, an early version of a subscription service that is still one of the company's most popular offerings. Each month, customers receive in the mail the pattern and pre-cut fabric for one block of a quilt. "At the end of 12 months, you have all the blocks and you are able to put them together," says Luttrell. At $29.99 per month, the program is significantly more costly than simply buying all the fabrics and patterns at once. But customers find the "bite-sized approach less overwhelming," says Luttrell. Today Stitchin' Heaven sends out roughly 8,000 block kits each month.
Meanwhile, a popular variation called the $5 Quilt Program lured people to the physical store. Stitchin' Heaven customers who turn up on the first Saturday of every month receive the fabric and instructions for the first block in a featured quilt for $5. If they return on that day a month later with the block finished, they get the next block for free, until the quilt is complete. Of course Luttrell leverages those crowds to trot out all the store's new products. "You see all the new notions and fabrics and patterns and magazines," says Earl, who before Covid-19 had never missed a first Saturday. "Everything they demoed I had to have."
At sea and on the road.
From the Baldrige experience, Luttrell learned to always listen to customers. And it was a customer who, in 2010, suggested she offer quilting cruises. Stitchin' Heaven Travel--an LLC run by Luttrell's son, Clay--partners with Royal Caribbean Group to offer 15 cruises a year to places like Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska. The ships turn over their conference rooms to the quilters for classes led by high-profile instructors while at sea. They work with materials sold by Stitchin' Heaven which, for an extra charge, will pre-cut the fabric. Luttrell ships sewing machines from port to port.
Kathleen Bell has been on eight cruises since 2017. "It would be 10, but the damn virus canceled two," she says. Bell calls the cruises "over-the-top wonderful," with "outstanding instructors" and "stunning" projects. "You can tell Debby's cruises aren't about making money," she says. "They are about quilters and quilting."
Temporarily exiled from oceangoing by Covid-19, Luttrell recently launched Land Ahoy Quilting Cruises. Starting in February, quilters will gather at luxury hotels in cities like Orlando, Nashville, and Las Vegas for socially distanced activities similar to those on shipboard.
Despite the success of the cruises and programs like Block of the Month, Luttrell remains intent on getting people to Quitman and into her store. Toward that end, a few years back she started running bus trips from cities within a three-hour drive. Ten times a year, 56 quilters assemble at designated parking lots in places like Shreveport and Houston. For a nominal fee, they are transported to Stitchin' Heaven, where "we feed them lunch, give them wine, let them shop, have a show for them, give them wine, let them shop, play games, give them wine, and let them shop," says Luttrell.
Quilting through quarantine.
Of course the bus trips, like the sea cruises, are on hold during the pandemic. But in other ways, Covid-19 has been kind to Stitchin' Heaven, whose sales this year--many through its web site--are up more than 60 percent. "People are sewing again," says Luttrell. "They have dusted off their old sewing machines or are buying new ones. They are buying fabric."
And the company has received national recognition--including a spotlight on The Kelly Clarkson Show--for spearheading a facemask drive among its community of quilters. The company's customers and social networks sewed more than 50,000, which Luttrell distributed to clinics, doctors' offices, and other businesses in her corner of East Texas. Although Stitchin' Heaven could have produced the masks itself, "We knew our customers would want to be the ones to make them," says Luttrell. "They are giving people."
Meanwhile, Luttrell is revving up for 2021. Starting in May, a new and improved version of Camp Quilt S'more will emerge as a year-round offering on Stitchin' Heaven's 12-acre property. Luttrell anticipates the 9,000-square-foot retreat center she is building will be ready by March, as will 10 cottages that each sleeps two to four quilters. Until things are completely back to normal, the new retreat center will host smaller groups, with social distancing enforced.
Joy Mardon expects to be among the retreat center's first guests. A customer since 2009, when she traveled to Quitman from her home in Calgary, Alberta, Canada just to take a class. Mardon loves Block of the Month, the cruises, and the "incredible customer service." From a distance of 3,000 miles, she has kept up with news about Stitchin' Heaven's new store. "I can't wait to see it," says Mardon. "As soon as they open the borders, we are there."

A high school that has an unusually high number of students who leave school (drop out) before graduating. Primarily heard in US, South Africa. With so little funding going to public education these days, it's no wonder that so many schools are becoming dropout factories.
Career academies address the root cause of the dropout issue, and this is necessary to obtain the savings and reductions in crime.
Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, has filed legislation that adjusts the way the state measures dropout and completion rates for charters that serve at-risk students.
In that time, he has seen the dropout rate at the high school almost cut in half, from 6.
Many could not and had to report higher dropout rates.
Himself an advocate for improving the dropout problem, Hinojosa introduced with Davis the Graduation for All bill, which asks for up to $1 billion to improve adolescent literacy for at-risk sixth- through 12th-graders.
Kennedy, potential dropouts, aka "early school leavers," will therefore be motivated to stay in school, if only to get their licenses.
Among those states for which CCD dropout data are available, event dropout rates for public high school students ranged from 2.
So, engineers must interpolate data to determine the dropout voltage for a given output current.
5 percent dropout rate in 2003-04 is a statistical blip.
They've cooked the books: they've tolerated or even encouraged high-risk students to drop out while failing to keep tabs on the dropouts.
Problems arise in obtaining accurate information of cohort dropout rates because students move, change schools for other reasons (e.
Sherman Dorn's Creating the Dropout successfully undermines a number of myths about the "dropout problem" in America.
We included in our analyses information on whether an individual obtained each type of training for each year from date of dropout through 1991.
Does a GED lead to more training, post-secondary education, and military service for school dropouts?
Based on data from the California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS), the study conducted by the California Dropout Research Project (CDRP) shows that just 100 high schools--out of 2,462 high schools in California--account for more than 40 percent of the state's dropouts.


It's never too early to start saving for a home. It is a process that takes time, determination and patience. Whether buying a house is in your immediate future, setting aside money now will help ensure you are ready when the time comes. Generally, you want to save about 20 percent of the selling price, but the more you can save for a down payment, the lower your interest and monthly payments may be on your mortgage.
To start saving to buy a house, take a look at your current budget; are you putting money away into a savings account? How much are you saving each month, and what is it for? Consider how much room you have in your budget to set aside savings, and what you could possibly cut out to grow your savings even more.
Opening a designated savings account can help you manage your budget when saving for a home. If you keep your savings in a specific account for a down payment, you may be more hesitant to withdraw funds for other purchases. You may also want to find out if banks in your area have a home buyer savings account. Since these accounts are designed to help when saving to buy a house, some have better interest rates than a standard account and may even offer you a bonus when you reach your goal or help you obtain a mortgage pre-approval quickly when you are ready to look at homes.
You might be surprised how much you can save when you have everything set up ahead of time. Automatic deductions take the everyday chore out of saving; making it easy to set aside the funds you need while staying within your budget. If you have a direct deposit set up for your paycheck, automatic deductions or transfers are even simpler. Inform your employer which accounts you want your paycheck deposited into and the amounts which should go to each, that way part of your paycheck goes right to your savings account. You can also, set up a recurring transfer from your checking account to your home buyer savings account the day after your paycheck is deposited each month. This allows you to set aside your savings for a home before you might be tempted to spend the money elsewhere. It will help you set up a steady method of saving for a down payment on a house and you can always raise or lower this deduction as your financial situation changes.
Consider using a savings calculator tool to give you accurate results that may alter your buying deadline or the amount you're setting aside each month. Even if it seems like the dream of owning a home is far away, you should start the process now. Research the price range for different types of homes in your area by looking at local real estate listings. This will help you calculate how much you need to save each month to make the down payment you're aiming for. Then set up automatic transfers to your home buyer savings account and start saving for a down payment on a house today.


Arlington is a small, quiet community with a population of over 2,000 people who enjoy its friendliness, good schools, and close proximity to excellent employment opportunities in Fremont, Valley and Omaha. Located on the banks of the Elkhorn River seven miles east of Fremont, its small business district straddles Highway 30, while most of its residences are found on the gently rising banks north of the river.
Established in the mid 1800's, it was originally a true farm community, which supported the many fertile farms located in the surrounding area. While the town still fulfills this purpose to a lesser degree, it is now primarily a "bedroom community" for the cities listed above. It does, however, celebrate its agricultural heritage by hosting the annual Washington County Fair. This is a time when rural and town kids display their 4-H projects which range from livestock (cows, pigs, goats, horses, chickens, rabbits ) to garden produce, interior design, photography, sewing, public speaking, baking, cooking, and child care. The list goes on and on as does the excitement and satisfaction from celebrating a job well done. Of course, the Fair isn't just about these projects—it's also a time for mud volley ball, lots of food, car races, tractor pulls, a rodeo, a demolition derby, concerts, and the usual carnival rides and games.
With a progressive Pre-K through 12th grade school system, the public schools serve approximately 600 students in their modern elementary, middle, and high schools. (There is also a K-8th grade parochial school located in a rural setting close to Arlington, giving parents options for their children's education.) Students are given opportunities to participate in many athletic, scholastic, music, public speaking and debate programs. There are also numerous recreational activities for kids during the summer as the town has well-maintained fields, a swimming pool, and park facilities.
Homes of all types and price ranges are found in Arlington. Many older homes have been well-maintained, while ranches, two stories, and multi levels built in the late 1900's are also very popular. New homes are still being constructed, and there are several apartment and town home facilities.
Several years ago, Business Week ranked Arlington as the 2nd Best Place to Raise Your Kids. So if you're looking for a small, neighborly town with good schools and lots of activities for your family, (and don't mind a short commute), this may be just the community for you.

Solution to the Revolution
"General Bonaparte at the Conseil des Cinq-Cents at Saint-Cloud" by: François Bouchot, 1799
There is a power, but only one power, that shuts down revolution. This is Christianity.
Christianity is the most extreme opposite of the sins of the revolution. For it bases all of human life on God's order and providence. But Christianity is simultaneously the most profound satisfaction of the impulses [otherwise leading to] revolution.
Only Christianity is still capable of guaranteeing the social order after the great masses have reconsidered its foundations, as well as those of monarchy, property, and marriage, and called them into question. Only Christian purpose has established for us joyful devotion to king and God, to marriage that God has joined together, to the occupation that God has assigned us, to the distribution of goods that God has provided. Christian purpose does not call for a governing authority that it establishes for itself, for a constitution it has made on its own, for law that it discovered out of its own reason. It would much rather receive all this from divine administration, and it is content with contributing its modestly small portion to the grand design of the times, as God has assigned it.
But Christianity is also [the] only [force] capable of fulfilling the real aims of the time, real progress. It is the only source of the principles from which one may expect a satisfactory construction of society – freedom, equality, fraternity in their true essence.
From Christianity comes genuine freedom, whereby man acts only out of his innermost self and according to the gift he has from God, and is not a judge over human governing authority, and yet at the same time [Christianity emits] commitment to God's orders, toward which true freedom itself immediately strives as if homeward-bound.
From Christianity comes true equality, whereby in every human being the likeness of God comes into its own right and privilege, which is higher than chivalry, and yet at the same time [Christianity emits] a position of membership for everyone, which carries along with it a diversity of rights and privileges.
And from Christianity comes genuine fraternity, which does not, as in socialism, boastingly celebrate the human species in every human being, but rather humbly loves the individual with heart and soul, and therefore [Christianity emits] compassion with the plight of the people, without fraternizing with sin and the depravity of the people.
Christianity grants the most precious of all political ideas, the idea of the vocation [Beruf], that is the calling [Berufung] from God. In this idea the opposition between right and duty, power and restraint gets resolved. When the proletarian maintains that he has the right to vote and be elected to a legislative assembly, like everyone else, he is asked if it is his calling from God to legislate; and when the large estate owner says it is right to enjoy the fruits of his property, and no public duties may be imposed upon him for the inhabitants of his estate and his poorer neighbors, he is asked if that is the calling for which God has awarded him such a large estate.
Christianity establishes the communion of the Holy Spirit, which, as a moral power and as a reciprocal guarantee of the divine order, even sets standards and commands respect over governing authority, genuine popular sovereignty.
Indeed, Christianity is above all the power that redeems and blesses individual human beings; only it is also the power within the nation from which alone [a] genuine constitution and genuine freedom arises. Christianity gives rise to the longing for one great community, which is a realm of the Lord, a protection for all personalities in their freedom and their purity, a harmonious joining of all gifts and vocations into one body, an application of divine justice and holiness – a type of community that fulfills that heavenly message which is also the final aim of the state: Glory be to God on high, and peace on earth and good will to men!
Therefore, since Christ appeared on earth, there has not been a gleam of political freedom that has not received its aura from the center of Christianity. The German Empire during its loveliest periods of freedom was based on Christian faith. What one now admires as political freedom, England's constitutional monarchy, North America's democracy, are the work and product of the Puritans; and while the Puritans were certainly not free from profound errors, from revolutionary tendencies, which also adhere to both of these celebrated constitutions, they were driven from deep inside by a longing, within their community and in their national life, to build the realm of God and proclaim the glory of His name. This is the soul that they breathed into their political creations and that has maintained the existence of the American and English constitution to this day. And even the three eastern [European] powers that pledged themselves forty years ago to an alliance against the revolution on the basis of Christianity are not in any way prevented from granting to one another the complete development of political freedom, depending on the educational level of their people on the basis of divine order; and, regardless of this, they can lead the holy struggle against that empire that is based on human will against God's will, whether it show up in one form or another.
Only Christianity is capable of shutting down the revolution. For Christianity is the archetype [Urbild] of that realm of freedom of which revolution is merely a caricature [Zerrbild]. But where the archetype is consumed in the light of its glory, there the shadows of the caricature must fade. For that reason, too, the revolution will not be shut down, because the archetype of Christianity is never consumed on earth, but instead revolution can only be suppressed, have a foot placed on its neck; but it will never cease its rebellion, and when the guardians slumber, it will rise up. In the same way that Amalek was suppressed by Israel in battle, but immediately rose up when the praying hands of Moses fell. Therefore there will be no return to the time in which governing authorities might nonchalantly give themselves over to their injustices and vices, their inclinations and hobbies, their rivalries [other] than in profound tranquility and under secure rule. The enemy of human society is girded and threatens to fell society when it leaves the fortress of divine protection by sinning against its divine vocation. And we, too, who live as subjects in this era, are already surrounded by divine tribunals on our earthly passage. We, too, dare not close the wakeful eye and take off the armor; for all of us are called to be guardians and fighters against revolution. Revolution is indeed a realm of sin that permeates all of human life and human essence. The fight against it does not stand still at the barricades and in the parliaments. Everyone who professes faith in Christianity and leads a life of God-fearing, of loyalty toward king, of contentment in his profession, of cultivation and love – he wields gigantic blows against the revolution. Christian faith and the Christian creed have the eternal promises on their side. The double-edged sword of God's word, even from the meekest mouth, will penetrate the rock-hard armor of the revolution. But these promises are linked to a condition: to Christian loyalty.
Whoever wants to break with the revolution must first break with his own sin.
Nobody can fell the enemy in the world unless he first fells him in his heart. Christian loyalty is the thoroughgoing, complete break with the revolution. Therefore may God provide that the princes among the nations do not depart from the fortress of his care and the guardians do not slumber and the fighters do not grow weary, and that the praying hands of Moses do not fall; and may He provide that we stay loyal, so that we may be contrived as victors in the early dispute and in the eternal decision. Let it come true!

Friedrich J. Stahl on What is the Revolution?
The Reformed Conservative aims to reunite gentlemanly virtues with scholarly conversation. Standing in the great Reformed and conservative heritage of thinkers like Edmund Burke and Abraham Kuyper, we humbly seek to inject civility into an informed conversation, one article at a time, bringing clarity out of chaos.
Friedrich Stahl
Friedrich J. Stahl was a Lutheran legal theorist, who was the first to codify and systematize a Burkean concept of law. His works on the philosophy of law and state have long impacted the Dutch neo-Calvinists, and today being made available in English.
A Theology of the Home and Home-Building
Only when man takes responsibility for his sin in destroying his home, his resting place, can he accept God's plan of rebuilding it: a theology of home.
The Reformation Principle
If we are to defeat the Revolution, we must have the Gospel stripped of all hindrances and set free from the superstitions in which Rome has sunk and distorted it.
The Old Soul vs the Noble Soul
The guardians of our past were the unsung heroes of their day. Will we be considered 'old souls' or 'noble souls'? What should the genuine conservative desire?
What is the Revolution?
Revolution is the characteristic world-political signature of our age, the establishment of society on man's will rather than God's order and providence.

The otherworldly landscape of northern New Mexico known as Georgia O'Keeffe country – towering red spires and exposed cliffs of white and gray – have inspired generations.
It's difficult to drive north on U.S. 84 and not stop to wonder at the geography; more difficult still to stay for a while in the Abiquiu area and not explore it.
The area has something for everyone from landscape tours that pair famed artist Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings with the geology that inspired them, artist studio tours, art and other creative classes as well as kayaking and fishing along Rio Chama and in Abiquiu Lake.
Everywhere invites you to walk or hike to get a little closer to the natural beauty, carved and layered by an ancient shallow sea and shifting tectonic plates.
Like many new to the state, O'Keeffe first visited Santa Fe and Taos. The state began its romance with the world-renowned artist, often called the mother of American modernism, in 1929. She discovered Ghost Ranch a few years later and found her home in Abiquiu in 1945 and moved there permanently in 1949.
Born in 1887 in Wisconsin, she died in 1986 in Santa Fe, according to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum website.
The state's tourism office explains their definition of Georgia O'Keeffe country as the places she traveled and stayed in northern New Mexico, including Santa Fe and Taos, but the area surrounding Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch, where she lived and painted so many of her abstract landscapes, is the heart of Georgia O'Keeffe country.
"I'm walking in her footsteps where she painted and where she found her inspiration," says Walter Nelson, a photographer, painter and sculptor.
Nelson is one five established artists who have opened their studios for daily tours for the Abiquiu Art Project, says Teresa Toole, the tour director and wife of one of the artists, Joseph Hall, a metalsmith and fine jeweler.
The tour, about 2 to 3 hours, starts at the Abiquiu Inn and is about $25 each, depending on the size of the group, she says. Visit abiquiuartproject.com to book a tour or for more information.
The White Place, or Plaza Blanca, prominent in O'Keeffe's series of paintings about it, is a high point of the tour, Toole says. The white cliffs are owned by Dar al Islam Mosque, but open to the public.
Sculptor Doug Coffin, also on the tour, looks at Plaza Blanca everyday from the door of his studio, where he's worked for 25 years.
"I get a sense of calmness and energy. It's stimulating to be surrounded by this beauty," he says. "It's easy to understand why she was attracted and inspired here.
A new Georgia O'Keeffe Welcome Center next to the Abiquiu Inn is scheduled to open this spring, says Micaela Hester of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe.
Tours to the O'Keeffe compound, home and studio, Tuesdays through Saturdays through Nov. 21, $35-$45, can be scheduled at the center or through okeeffemuseum.org.
The museum in Santa Fe is a great place to get perspective on Georgia O'Keeffe country either before or after visiting the Abiquiu area.
This summer the museum will explore work from the Black Place, remote badlands near Nageezi, about 150 miles from Abiquiu, that O'Keeffe drew and painted more than 200 times.
In a program called Contemporary Voices, the installation will explore O'Keeffe's paintings of the place and new photographically-based work by Michael Namingha, a Santa-Fe based, multidisciplinary artist.
"Created in different centuries, but inspired by the same place, comparing Namingha's artwork to O'Keeffe's presents an opportunity to examine evolving notions of art and the landscape of New Mexico," says a museum news release.
The exhibit is open through Sept. 14.
Nelson, who is also deeply inspired by that dramatic landscape, pays tribute to it in his work.
"Some of O'Keeffe's most beautiful paintings came from that place," he says.
Nelson and author Douglas Preston published "The Black Place: Two Seasons" in 2014. It features Nelson's photography.
Ghost Ranch, where O'Keeffe lived during the summers before she bought her Abiquiu home, has morning and afternoon tours, everyday but Wednesday, for $37 for adults. Visitors travel by bus to the scenes and locations of O'Keeffe's paintings. Other tours feature different perspectives, including paleontology and archaeology.
Ghost Ranch, formerly a dude ranch and owned by the Presbyterian Church since 1955, has a full line-up of classes all summer and fall, that explore all kinds of creativity for adults and children. Visit ghostranch.org for information.
Nestled into the cliffs, two miles north of Ghost Ranch on U.S. 84, and 13 miles west, is Monastery of Christ in the Desert.
The graded, dirt U.S. Forest Service Road 151 winds along the Rio Chama, with roads for camping, canoes and kayaks. Deer and other wildlife live in the canyons and cattle graze in the mesas.
The monastery was founded in 1964 by Benedictine monks. People of all faiths are invited to services in the chapel. The area is open to day visitors from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Overnight guests are welcome. The minimum stay is two days and two nights.
Back south on U.S. 84, Abiquiu Lake, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, boasts that it has some of the best fishing in northern New Mexico for bass and trout. There are campgrounds and picnic areas. A swimming beach was opened in 2015 in the Cerrito Recreation Area.
Boating, swimming, water skiing, jet skiing, river running, windsurfing, kayaking and fishing are all allowed at the lake. Visit New Mexico State Parks at emnrd.state.nm.us for maps and information.
Bode's General Store, established in 1890, just off U.S. 84 in Abiquiu, is a great place to stock up on breakfast burritos and other food, beverages and information about the area. They carry a wide selection of wine and there's beer from Abbey Brewing, made by the monks at Monastery of Christ in the Desert.


Cancer has plagued many individuals and their families. In fact, it is estimated that 39.6% of the general population will receive a diagnose of cancer sometime in their life. Cancer doesn't discriminate, it affects people of all ages, races, men or women. Sometimes a specific type of cancer could be caused by certain lifestyle choices. For example, lung cancer is most often seen in people who smoke. There are treatment options, however, no one treatment is right for everyone. The type of treatment you receive will depend on the stage of cancer and the type.
Surgery is an option for some. There are two types of surgery to treat cancer, open surgery or minimally invasive. In a minimally invasive surgery, the doctor will use a laparoscope and remove the tumor with some surrounding healthy tissues. An open surgery is sometimes necessary to remove large tumors or if it presents an imminent threat to other tissues around it which will also have to be removed. This type of treatment is usually performed if the tumor is solid and hasn't spread to other areas. For some, it is the only treatment needed, but it's not uncommon to use a combination of treatments through other methods.
There are two types of radiation treatments, an internal or external beam. External radiation treats specific parts of your body while internal may better suit cancers that affect the blood. Radiation can slow, stop, or even cure cancer. It does come with side effects such as killing other healthy cells. Chemotherapy is similar to radiation therapy in some ways, but it is usually used with other methods. For example, chemotherapy can help shrink the tumor before radiation or surgery to help rid the body of cancer without using more invasive procedures. Chemotherapy has very similar side effects to radiation in some ways and is commonly known as the one that can cause hair loss. This side effect is heavily outweighed, however, most side effects are minimal.
It surprises some that hormones can actually be used to treat some cancers. For example, breast and prostate cancer use hormones to grow. There are two types of hormone therapy, the kind that inhibits the body's ability to produce certain hormones and then there are those that alter how the hormones react in the body. Stem cells therapy is an option for recovering patients and can help alleviate symptoms of cancer. Stem cells are cells that contain the ability to multiply and replicate other surrounding cells. This is beneficial to those who have had their healthy cells destroyed during the process of trying to rid the body of cancer.
In some cases, you may need to take prescription medications. It's not uncommon to have the doctor recommend some diet or lifestyle changes. For example, if you've been diagnosed with lung cancer, you should stop smoking immediately and avoid being around secondhand smoke. Changing your diet may be ideal especially for those who are going through chemotherapy.
Maybe also look into CBD Oils or CBD capsules to help with the common side effects of the most used cancer treatment options. CBD is the non psychoactive ingredient of Marijuana and has been shown to help with the pain, the nausea that go along with the above mentioned treatment options. Further, it can make you feel a lot better compared to the alternatives medicines. As cannabinoids are still a controlled substance, you would have to talk to your GP / Doctor about obtaining CBD.

"Buzz Lightyear got us through"
A wonderful story was reported yesterday where a father and his autistic son were rescued after having been swept out to sea. They survived some 15 hours in shark and jellyfish infested waters by calling out lines from… wait for it… Disney movies.
Yup, Walter's son Christopher watches a lot of Disney movies and is largely non-verbal so to maintain a connection with him while in the water, especially after darkness fell, he'd yell out things like "to infinity and beyond!" After drifting apart enough to where he couldn't hear his son anymore, Walter reconciled himself to the worst, that his son was dead, but fought on to stay alive for the sake of his daughter.
He eventually was rescued, and soon after, the Coast Guard found his son, very much alive. Walter actually credits his son for helping him get through it:
"His lack of fear was calming to me," Marino said. "He was on an adventure — I mean, he was laughing. It was just a day in the ocean to him. It wasn't until the jellyfish started stinging that he started to freak out a little bit."
Marino also offered a shout-out to the animated superhero who helped him communicate with his son. "Buzz Lightyear got us through," he said.
Rescue team member David Birky said he was awed at Christopher's resolve. "That kid is an amazing kid," Birky said. "To tread water for almost 14 hours — I don't know about you, but I don't think I could do that. They have amazing willpower to be able to do it."
Great story, but I can't help but be amazed at how out of the ordinary this sounds. Where's the God talk? Where's Jesus? "Amazing willpower"? The kid is amazing, all by himself? No divine help? See, this is how these stories normally read:
Lost at sea with nothing to hold onto amid a dreadful darkness, Florida resident Walter Marino continually called out some of the few words his 12-year-old autistic son Christopher responds to.
"I'd be screaming, 'Have mercy on me, O God!'" Marino said, referring to Psalm 51, one of Christopher's favorites from the Bible. "Then I would hear him and it would be more and more and more distant, until finally I couldn't hear anything."
Miraculously, father and son's prayers were answered as they survived the night, thanks in part to good Samaritans and the U.S. Coast Guard. Walter and Christopher Marino, along with Walter's daughter Angela and the children's mother, Robin Bishop, beamed their way through a joyous interview with Matt Lauer on TODAY Wednesday.
Walter, Christopher and Angela were enjoying a family day at the beach at the Ponce Inlet south of Daytona Sept. 6. Late in the afternoon, Christopher was swimming near his father when he got caught in a current, and his dad paddled rapidly to retrieve him.
"We were both just sucked out," Marino told Lauer. "The forces just took us out so quickly, it totally took me by surprise."
On the beach, Angela could no longer see her father and brother and quickly called 911. The Coast Guard and the Volusia County Beach Patrol launched a search-and-rescue effort, but were unable to locate the pair and called off the search when darkness set in.
Meanwhile, Walter and Christopher treaded water while looking at each other face to face. Christopher, who is largely nonverbal, "spends most of his time leafing through his illustrated Bible," explained his father, and Walter kept calling out Christopher's favorite passages, including Psalms 51.
As the hours ticked off in the dark night, Walter could no longer hear his son, but he never doubted whether his son was ok.
"I knew in my heart he was ok," Marino told Lauer. "Knowing that and having faith God would save us was what got me through."
Around 7:30 a.m. the next morning, fishermen spotted a glint in the water from Walter's necklace and rescued him. With the fate of Christopher still unknown at the time, Walter maintained hope of finding his son alive.
After nearly two hours, the Coast Guard asked Marino to come on deck where they pointed to the helicopter and said, 'See that helicopter over there? That has your son, and he's fine.'
While an animated Marino showered his rescuers with thanks, appreciation — and yes, kisses — he also cited plucky Christopher as a hero, saying the boy actually helped his father get through the nightmare ordeal.
"His lack of fear was calming to me," Marino said. "Clearly God was with him the whole time, protecting him and stealing away his fear." He then added, "God got us through".
Rescue team member David Birky said he was awed at Christopher's resolve. "To tread water for almost 14 hours — I don't know about you, but I don't think I could do that. It's quite a miracle."
Now you KNOW, had the article gone like that, this would be hailed as proof of God, Jesus, the power of prayer, miracles, the whole shabang. So does this mean then, following the logic, that the actual story is proof of the power of Disney? Is Walt Divine? Maybe Jobs (Toy Story was a Pixar production)? Should people replace those St. Christopher medals or dashboard Jesuses with Buzz Lightyears? Should Buzz be my co-pilot? Can the Mouse provide miracles?

Fandamntastic! I had read the news story last night, and the fact that God/Jesus/Holy Spirit/Santa/Easter Bunny was NOT invoked passed me by. You are correct, though. If he had recited the Lord's Prayer, or even The Night Before Christmans, to keep in contact, it would be getting double the coverage with the god(s) angle dominating.

Philly,
Oh please, this is obviously just another fundogelical attempt to smuggle god into the press. Disney is God, God is Disney, and his son, Jesus Disney, is living secretly at Scientology headquarters from where he makes up press stories like this. I'm surprised you could fall for such a transparent ruse.

Now I know what it means when people drink and say they got a Buzz. It's sort of like getting filled by the Holy Ghost. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
The Exterminator, on September 11th, 2008 at 7:05 pm Said:
I can just see it now:
What a Friend We Have in Buzz
Onward, Disneyite Soldiers
Rockin' around the Lightyear Tree
I suppose hell in Lightyearism would be an eternity stuck in a sealed package in the toybox.

Damn, I meant to read and respond to this last week. Where's my manners?
You missed the obvious, though, Philly. What are the first 6 letters in little Christopher's name?
See. They'll get it in there somehow.

Well, I saw we all bow at the altar of Pixar!
I've seen more morals in those movies than in all the years I've spent in religion.
PhillyChief, on September 17th, 2008 at 11:36 am Said:
Well of course Pixar was headed by the true Messiah, Steve Jobs.
Of course "The Mouse" is a god, one loved and revered by many, and no doubt many people have stories associated with family trips to the holy lands of Disney. The important point is all of the pleasures, the increased meanings to some people's lives, the effects on individuals and families visiting these places or watching the movies, and certainly this story all show that these things are man made, just like religion.
As far as Disney vs. Religion goes:
Disney makes far better hot dogs and toys, and when you wave at the characters they actually wave back.
On the other hand, Religion's "Journey to Hell" ride is much scarier than anything in Anaheim or Orlando.
PhillyChief, on September 17th, 2008 at 2:59 pm Said:
Well there is He'brew beer and Hebrew National hot dogs, but the other religions really can't compete so yeah, I'd say Disney wins, although they need a beer. I think they should use Goofy as a mascot for that.

My developer is wanting to convince me to maneuver to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the concept due to costs. But he's tryiong none
the less. I've been utilizing Movable-type on various websites for approximately a year and am nervous about
switching to another one platform. I have heard really good aspects of blogengine.net.
What is the way I could transfer my wordpress posts with it?

Which history of philosophy would you recommend, then?


I have been a little quiet sorryyy! I injured my knee so took some time to rest and recover. And we are saying our last goodbyes to the summer vibes to welcome Septembre and the premisces of Fall. Woot woot! So here is a little tropical/ hispanic flavour to celebrate the end of the season.
I am in love with this Doux shirt hair, it's very natural and sophisticated, with a little detail with the hairpins! It gives you a relaxed yet elegant touch.
Blueberry and Candydoll are very complimentary with these two dresses, and I love the frills on the Blueberry one. Candydoll's & Blueberry's fatpacks always provide a tremendous amount of color and textures options so you can change according to the mood of the moment!
These Mandala earrins are EVERYTHING, I am so glad to see new Mandala products again, because it's one of the best jewelry designer around. Kibitz did not work any less and blessed us with these gorgeous cross earrings.
