Mt Tabor Park / Water Reservoirs
Images and photos of Mt Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation: Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, referred to as the LT2 Rule imposes new requirements that open water reservoirs be covered, buried or additionally treated. This applies to Portland's five open reservoirs and to the unfiltered Bull Run source supplying them. The 3 open reservoirs in Mount Tabor Park, with their ancillary structures, were placed in the National Register of Historic Places on January 15, 2004. Active citizen interest is shown by Friends of Mount Tabor Park (http://www.taborfriends.com/) and Friends of the Reservoirs (http://friendsofreservoirs.org/index.html).
2020 Calendar Mt Tabor Park
The Mount Tabor Park Calendar is an 11-year personal project of photographer Andrew Haliburton, celebrating Portland's beloved park and former reservoirs. The park covers 190 acres, offering many recreational amenities including paved and unpaved trails, play areas, basketball court, tennis courts and picnic areas. For over 100 years, the reservoirs functioned at the heart of Portland's drinking water supply, balancing the flow of drinking water from Bull Run. The Portland Water Bureau disconnected the reservoirs and removed them from the City's distribution network in 2016.

The Mount Tabor Park Calendar is a 7-year personal project of photographer Andrew Haliburton celebrating Portland's beloved park and open water reservoirs. For over 100 years, the reservoirs functioned at the heart of the City's drinking water supply, balancing the flow and pressure in a network of pipes delivering pure drinking water from Bull Run to Portland. This ingeniously-engineered system was powered by a renewable resource – gravity, and was operational by 1910. With replacement reservoirs at Kelly Butte and Powell Butte nearing completion, the Tabor open water reservoirs face an uncertain future.

In this beginner's guide you learn something about the important spaceships in Homeworld Remastered Collection.
The Scout (dt. Reconnaissance) is one of the most important units in the game. They are used for reconnaissance and make it possible to detect enemy fleets early. They are quick and inexpensive to manufacture, making itself little damage but are highly manoeuvrable. So they are struck by the large vessels rarely.
The Interceptor (dt. Interceptor) is quasi the revised version of the Enlightenment, but which is not as effective. This is mainly due to the speed and the higher construction costs. So the interceptor against normal spaceships or even hostile reconnaissance due to the low speed is useless.
The Defender (dt. Defender) is one of the starship types that should you build especially for resource degradation processes. Not to break down the raw materials themselves (which makes the collectors), but to protect the collector. Although they are quite slow, but relatively agile and can make a good defensive "wall" in the crowd. However, their weakness is that they do not withstand hits long.
The Attack Bomber (dt. Attack Bomber) is an appropriate spaceship class to fight large frigates or generally larger spacecraft. The high firepower is a significant advantage, but the attack bomber is slow in shooting. So they might give to smaller, faster and more agile offensive spaceships to battle him not necessarily.
The Fighter (dt. Battle spaceship) is quasi the balancing act between the Scout and the Interceptor. He's fast, holds quite a lot and tells you out relatively well. In crowds a good alternative to fighting to decide quickly to his advantage. Against Corvettes they should however not be flying that goes quickly in the pants.
The Corvette (dt. Corvette) is slow but quite a tough nut to crack in space battles. Although no masses worth of standard Corvette, but it should be enough against smaller spaceships yet. Missile Corvette's are equipped with the standard Corvette but no suitable opponent.
The main spacecraft unit in space battles (especially in multiplayer mode) are not battleships, as the Fighter or similar, but the Scouts.
- As I spy with the Scout?
The Scout is designed to make the opponent and its positions identified. So can also quickly make a rough picture of what he's up to next. Sets forth at the beginning 2-3 scouts and let them in the presumed direction of the opponents flying. It is best, if you do maneuvered far below or far above the standard ceiling height. The Scouts have a wide field of view. But let them not too long without protection alone, the enemy is of course also be able to track her down.
- As I spy with the normal probe?
The normal probes are prima suitable to check the monitor "flanks". Build and send them lived far below or far above the normal ceiling height on the flanks, and see what the enemy is driving possibly there. Also suitable are the normal probes for the scout fields of resources, so Asteroids. You can also start with them kamikaze trips and send them directly into the enemy base for valuable information.
- As I spy with the probe distortion?
This probe will cost 500 commodity units but with the strongest probe in the game, because it can be very difficult to detect, and if, then only through appropriate anti-probes or the like. Far above or below the normal height spaceship is the chance to be discovered even lower. It is also helpful, then send them directly into the "base" of the opponents, since many opponents do not prepare to be spied directly within the intergalactic four walls.

Risers are critical components in the upstream segment of the oil & gas industry. Risers support huge internal constraints and their integrity is critical for secured, ongoing operations.
In the past, newly manufactured riser's weld underwent an x-ray process. Normally the weld area had to be evacuated for the x-ray process or in-production risers were moved to a remote location for safer radiation use. The HES constraints linked to the use of RT techniques pushed the industry toward ultrasonic inspection.
A combination of TOFD and Phased array has become the industry standard technique for inspecting welds on risers. It requires well trained technicians but allows the production environment to remain as lean as possible since there is no requirement to evacuate the welding area or moving the in-production riser to a remote location.
Quick and accurate adjustment of all the inspection parameters to guarantee proper data collection.

(Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images)
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has to watch out for Bears, Lions and Vikings twice a year, but his newest threat may be the most challenging of all: Danica Patrick's dad, TJ Patrick.
The Patricks are lifelong Bears fans, and TJ wanted to get his revenge for that 2010 Conference Championship loss.
Aaron Rodgers, Danica Patrick Pose For Beach Pictures Before Daytona 500
"The first time we met him I told the kids I was going to wear my Brian Urlacher jersey and tackle him," TJ told Autoweek.com
TJ couldn't locate the first ballot Hall-of-Famer's jersey in his closet when Rodgers stopped by, and apparently, the Packers QB called him out on it.
"Where is your jersey?" Rodgers asked TJ. And when TJ said he couldn't find it, Rodgers responded, "I would respect you a lot more if you had it on."
Despite the general fan animosity, TJ said the two get along well.
"He's good about it. He knows. He is very intelligent and still has a sense a humor," TJ told Autoweek.
But that doesn't mean TJ is swaying his fandom.

"I'm still a Bears fan," TJ Patrick told Autoweek. "I'm always going to be a Bears fan. I can't be a Packers fan," he said.
As for his daughter, TJ isn't quite sure.
"I don't know, that's a good question ...Danica is still a Bears fan, but that doesn't mean she can't be an Aaron Rodgers fan," TJ said. "We'll have to wait and see, won't we?"
Danica and Rodgers starting dating early in 2018, it was confirmed by the Associated Press when she flat out told them, "Yes, Aaron and I are dating."


For many of us, Thanksgiving is about surrounding ourselves with friends and family and expressing our heartfelt gratitude for excellent things like football and stuffing. For others, the day is simply a precursor to the largest consumer reality show/sporting event our country has to offer: Black Friday. This year, retailers are continuing the tradition of opening doors earlier than ever with some stores starting Black Friday sales well before Friday morning. But hey, so what? Deals! Coupons! Capitalism!
So if you're one of the brave souls who'd rather reap the bounty of Best Buy's harvest at 2 a.m. than celebrate the traditional harvest, here's a few tools (all accessible by smartphone) to stave off line boredom, make the most of deals and help you stay sane.

Japan has taught me a lot of things; one of the best lessons I've learned is to live humbly. For the short amount of time that I have visited this first-world wonder, I have observed how polite and disciplined the people are. I fell in love with their efficient lifestyle, this maybe coming from my desire for order and effectivity but I just simply loved how things are done without having to waste time and harboring unwanted energy due to impatience.
Peaceful as they are in everything, I have also observed their respect for pedestrians and bikers. In every area that we visited, we have observed how biking play a huge part of their lifestyle. They come in many shades and styles, but more often than not, you would definitely find a bike or two in each home and establishment that you will come across with.
In my attempt to jumpstart my Tokyo journal, I have put together some photographs that I took of bicycles and their surrounding areas. In the next few posts that I will be writing, I will show more of the things I saw and observed. In the meantime, I hope that this Tokyo bike photo essay would at least speak for the things I saw and appreciated during our trip.
See you on my next Tokyo journal!

I'm a molecular biologist who loves to tackle a tricky problem- over the last few years much of my work has been focused on getting RNA-seq to work well in highly AT-rich malaria parasites.
I've just joined Thierry Voet's group to work on new sequencing methods that will be applied to single cells, and will be in the lab soon hacking at new molecular biology protocols.
Until recently I was working on analysing PCR-free RNA-seq data sets for several species of malaria parasites, including Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium knowlesi. We're hoping analysis of these data sets will be useful for many researchers in the malaria community, as they include features that were previously undetected due to the high AT-content of the parasite genomes.
Prior to that I spent just over a year in the R&D team in the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, where I worked on developing molecular biology protocols that use high throughput DNA sequencing platforms. Highlights of this year included a project to implement higher throughput and lower cost RNA-seq, and the implementation of the PCR-free RNA-seq protocol ("DAFT-seq") I developed in my PhD within our DNA pipelines.
In my PhD project I worked on methods to study gene expression in malaria parasites using high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies (RNA-seq). I was jointly supervised by Matt Berriman and Julian Rayner, and interacted with researchers in the Parasite Genomics team and Malaria Programme at the Institute. I developed a PCR-free RNA-seq protocol ("DAFT-seq") to handle the RNA from AT-rich malaria parasite transcriptomes.
In my spare time I'm activity involved with science outreach in Cambridge, and in 2009-11 I was the student president of Cambridge Hands-On Science (CHaOS). Now I'm trying a range of other outreach activities, including communicating science by the medium of stand-up comedy!
Vector transmission regulates immune control of Plasmodium virulence.
Spence PJ, Jarra W, Lévy P, Reid AJ, Chappell L et al.
Finding a needle in a haystack. Microbial metatranscriptomes.
Joined the Sequencing R&D team.
Graduated from the University of Cambridge with my PhD degree.
Started a one-year Post Doc in the Parasite Genomics team (led by Matt Berriman).
Submitted my PhD thesis ("Novel Approaches for Transcriptome Analysis in Plasmodium Parasites").
Joined the Parasite Genomics team for my PhD project- which was about improving RNA-seq in AT-rich Malaria parasites. Matt Berriman was my main supervisor, Julian Rayner was my second supervisor.
Joined the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute PhD programme - the first year included three rotations in faculty teams.
Graduated from the University of Cambridge with a Masters in Natural Sciences (Biochemistry) - the four-year course included a Masters degree (MSci) and a Batchelors degree (BA).

Q: Does MySQL allow two primary keys on one table? CREATE TABLE Orders
-> (
->    ID SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
->    ModelID SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
->    Descrip VARCHAR(40),
->    PRIMARY KEY (ID, ModelID)
-> );

Basically, this appears to me to be creating two primary key on one table. Is that correct?
I thought that we could create a number of unique keys in one table, but only one primary key.
How is it that my system is allowing the creation of multiple primary keys?
Please advise: what are the rules governing this?

A: Your system is not allowing multiple primary keys - it is creating the key based on 2 columns (ID, ModelID)

A: You are making 1 primary key. But that key is a combination of 2 values.
Which is not a wrong thing to do. But in your case it does look wrong.
You seem to have a primary key named ID and a foreign key named ModelID. You should probable have an index on the ModelID, and a primary key constraint on the ID

A: Think of it like it suggest, a 'KEY'.  So the key would be all of the columns specified.  In your case you can have multiple rows with the same 'ID' and multiple rows with the same 'ModelID' but there shall never be two rows that have the same 'ID' AND 'ModelID'.
So in this case it is not saying that the column 'ID' must be unique nor is it saying that 'ModelID' must be unique, but only the combination.

A: You can have one primary key (thats why it is called the primary key)
You can have multiple UNIQUE keys if you like.

The truth about Ashley Biden's husband
Joe Biden's youngest daughter, Ashley Biden, mostly steers clear of the spotlight, a trait she shares with her husband, Dr. Howard Krein. Biden met Krein through her brother, Beau, and the two dating in 2010 (via People). After asking her father's permission, Krein proposed to Biden on a cliff in Big Sur while the sun set. They married in a Catholic-Jewish ceremony at St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church, and danced the Hora at the reception. Krein seems to have a secret romantic side; the only comment he offered to ABC was that he and Biden had surprises for each other throughout their wedding ceremony, including where Krein had arranged their honeymoon.
Though he's a Democrat, Krein prefers to keep his public profile focused on his work, dedicating his Twitter feed to posts and news from StartUp Health. He and Biden currently live in Philadelphia, a short drive away from her family.
Howard Krein is an accomplished medical professional passionate about philanthropy
Krein has some serious academic prowess. After graduating from Rutgers University, he got a medical degree at Thomas Jefferson Medical College before getting a PhD in cell and developmental biology (via The New York Times). According to ABC, patients have remarked on his warm bedside manner. Medicine runs in the family for the Kreins; Howard's mother was a physician assistant in cardiology at Cooper University Hospital, while his father retired as a director of marketing for Aetna U.S. Healthcare.
Krein and his social worker wife share a passion for philanthropy. He is certified in otolaryngology and plastic surgery, which comes in handy for his volunteer work with the International Hospital for Children, operating on children with facial deformities in Belize (via Daily Mail). Krein has also volunteered with victims of domestic violence and soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. To relax, he enjoys techno music and rodeo competitions (via Observer).

ABOUT LUMANZIN
Since she was born in 1996, LUMANZIN composes and works with music. Her first composition was the track "Minha Turma" that was released in 2008. She spent her whole childhood singin in a lot of classical choirs and studying musical theatre, but it wasn't until she went to an apartment of a friend-of-a-friend-of-hers and participated on a jam that she found her space in music.
Since 2016 she works in the independent music scene from Brazil. She starts her career with "ABUSOS" an EP produced by Pedro Serapicos. In the same year she started a band called LUZIA that used to explore jazz, rock, MPB and a bit of classical.
In 2018 LUMANZIN went to Canada for an artistic residence at Banff Centre. There she did some partnerships with Lisa Schonberg (USA), Ariel Schlichter (ARG), Jordan Sand (USA) and Yantra del Vilder (AUS). She played some concerts in Canada, Portugal and Netherlands. Coming back to Brazil she signed with PWR Records and now just launched her first big project "quarentena".
ABOUT THE CONCERT
The concerts is interactive music + video. LUMANZIN plays with an APC controller, ableton live, a loop pedal and a effect pedal. All of these gives her the possibility to have a full band by herself. Is a strong concert even for a non-portuguese speaker audience. The feeling that the music provokes is universal and the complex arrangements is also a strong aspect that capture the audience.


However, everything is coming up for me except the part including and after the card 1: line (plus subdivides for me says 7/7 instead of 8/8 since it doesn't sense the mic connected to it). Any idea on how I can make the "ReSpeaker 2-Mics Pi HAT" show up when I type aplay -l into the terminal? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Алерино Палма (ит. Alerino Palma di Cesnola, Ривароло-Канавезе, 1776 — Эрмуполис, 1851) — итальянский революционер и филэллин, юрист, писатель.

Биография
Граф Алерино Палма родился в 1776 году в городе Ривароло -Канавезе, Пьемонт. Будучи юристом (магистрат), примкнул к революционному движению Карбонарии, организовал и руководил в городе Иврея первой группой принявшей участие в революции марта 1821 года в Пьемонте, и в последующих революциях.
Был приговорён к смерти в Турине. Бежал сначала в Испанию, а затем в восставшую Грецию.
Первоначально Палма принял участие в военных действиях греческих повстанцев против османов. Но затем был вовлечён в юридическую деятельность. В январе 1826 года Палма предложил временному правительству Греции организацию Государственного совета. В том же году, на острове Идра, Палма издал книгу, которая была переведена на греческий, под названием «Политический катехизис эллинов». В том же 1826 году , Палма издал в Лондоне книги под названиями «Краткое описание морского похода лорда Кохрэна» и «Греческие требования в двух словах». После окончания Освободительной войны Греции, Палма остался в стране до конца своей жизни. Стал членом Ареопага (Верховного кассационного суда Греции). Умер в 1851 году в городе Эрмуполис, остров Сирос.

Палма стал кавалером ордена и получил крест Орден Святых Маврикия и Лазаря.

Did Racial Profiling Put an Unarmed Black Man in Jail in North Carolina?
Activists in Durham, North Carolina, have come together in support of Carlos Riley Jr. and against the racial policing they believe has put him behind bars.


U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman has named the lawyers who will head up the General Motors (GM) multidistrict litigation (MDL) related to claims surrounding the defective GM ignition switch. Selected as co-lead counsel are Steve W. Berman, Elizabeth J. Cabraser and Robert C. Hilliard. Judge Furman also filled out the rest of the leadership team, which includes the 10-member executive committee. Lance Cooper, the Georgia lawyer who uncovered the defect, and is directly responsible for exposing GM's cover-up, resulting in massive recalls, was named to the executive committee.
"It's widely recognized that without Lance's work in the Melton case the defect would not have been revealed by GM," says Beasley Allen Founding Shareholder Jere Beasley. "The automaker had successfully engaged in a cover-up of the known defect and the hundreds of deaths it caused for more than10 years. It's quite appropriate that Lance should be in a leadership role," he said.
The Cooper Firm, based in Marietta, Ga., and our firm are representing the Melton family against GM in Georgia state court. The Melton lawsuit has been described by the media as the "linchpin" of the GM litigation. GM committed fraud when it negotiated a settlement agreement with the Melton family late last year. Ken and Beth Melton sued GM after the death of their daughter, 29-year-old Brooke Melton, in a 2010 crash of her Chevy Cobalt linked to the ignition switch defect. After learning that GM knew about the defective ignition switch, and had been untruthful in sworn deposition testimony, the Meltons asked that their settlement agreement be rescinded and refiled a wrongful death and fraud lawsuit against the automaker. This lawsuit is now in the pretrial discovery phase, which is extremely important to the GM litigation. We will aggressively pursue both document production and the depositions of key GM officers, lawyers and personnel.
GM has recalled more than 17 million vehicles related to the ignition switch problem that can leave a vehicle without power and the driver unable to control the vehicle in sudden and dangerous situations. GM has admitted the ignition switch defect is the cause of deaths. Some experts say more than 300 deaths were caused by the defective switches. Investigations have revealed GM knew about the ignition switch defect for 11 years before disclosing it to safety regulators and the public. Hundreds of people have been killed and many more seriously injured. They never knew of the link between their defective GM vehicle and the crash.

It has taken forever, or at least it has seemed like forever! I've just made this hard cover edition of Vampire: a wild story of scraps and colors available for the first time. It is a massive book with over 500 pages. It is also my favorite book of the trilogy because I think it is the most autobiographical of them all.
Between now and the summer solstice the 3D and 5D timelines are splitting apart from each other. It is time to turn to each other and help each other get through this sacred window. It is time for community and collective effort like never before and it doesn't focus on physical reality, it focuses on multidimensional reality.
I will give you a graphic illustration. A dear friend of mine recently suffered several strokes and she is not able to speak properly or use her right hand like she used to. In a recent very powerful dream she was calling out to me for help. Her hand had been stuck in the door of a vehicle. When I got there and released her hand I saw that it had been severed from the rest of her arm and I felt a strong sense of urgency. I gripped the end of her stump and squeezed to keep it from bleeding and called 911 for emergency assistance. But I would not let go of her. In the astral I was doing some type of healing so that she wouldn't lose more energy, but I was not able to help get her hand back.
This was a profound dream because it showed that my friend had ascended to 5th density, but just barely. Her 5th density body was not able to completely form and her lost hand was the casualty. The healing I helped with stabilized the rest of her 5th density body. She made it! But she needed my help! This dream vision shows how important the non-physical worlds really are right now and how illusory the physical world really is. Other people need help right now as well, and I don't mean help in the physical world , but help in the non-physical worlds.
A couple other recent dreams. In one I was leaving a bank just as someone was entering the bank to rob it. As he brushed past me he grabbed my arm and tried to pull me back inside, but I resisted and pulled away. Then he looked at me and our eyes met for a long time. Finally he went inside but I knew that he would fail. What he really had wanted was me. That same night was another dream in which I was getting into my rust heap of a car and someone came up and tried to steal something from me. I pulled out a knife and severely threatened him so that he ran away. The lesson from these two dreams is that it is currently very dangerous out there and we not only need to help each other, but defend ourselves as well. In these dreams there was potential injury to others, but not to myself as I routinely function at the lowest astral/etheric levels and have for some time.
The full moon of May in less than two weeks is the time of the spring when the veil between the worlds is the thinnest. On the wheel of the year it stands opposite Samhain or Halloween when the veil is also the thinnest. But in the spring it is the astral that springs forth through the veil into physical manifestation. At Samhain it is the physical that tries to move back into the non-physical planes to astrally create events for the coming year. So we are seeing the final astral struggle for dominance in what will physically manifest this summer and this fall. You will see a peak of this struggle during the next two weeks and then it will drop away as things resolve into their new places.
There has been an interesting reset taking place in my life and I would suspect others as well. To try to explain this I will divide people into two groups. The first group likes what has been created in the astral planes as the potential future and in their actions try to follow the flow of what already exists in the astral as it tries to physically manifest. In the past they would say, "Don't fight it! Allow what must happen to happen so that what we desire will physically manifest. They are "space keepers" holding a space for those things to happen. They will try to hold that place until what they desire is attracted to them.
There is a second group of people that doesn't want the future that lies ahead for them in the astral planes and they try to change those things through physical action and will. In doing this they act upon the lower astral planes and affect or alter things in the lower astral planes changing how those things manifest or don't manifest. They use physical actions and physical power to influence the outcome of physical events.
Neither group is right or wrong. There was a point in Gaia's ascension process where all life upon her was supposed to die but didn't because of the efforts of the many to change the future that lay in the astral planes. There was also supposed to be WWIII where Gaia was ravaged by nuclear holocaust. But that didn't happen either. These events were created in the astral planes and were destined to become our future but they were altered and changed by the physical and spiritual efforts of the many light workers and way showers.
So the battle in the astral was to change the destruction and create a peaceful alternative. This has happened and now the roles are reversed. The energy dynamics have changed radically. Those that were once fighting against the destructive astral future are now defending a created peaceful one. Those that were once letting the flow of events happen without resistance are now finding that they need to battle against the flow to maintain what they have.
Those that used to "let go and let God" are now finding that won't work for them and they need to work harder to change things themselves on the physical plane. Those that used to fight to change things on the lower astral planes and physical plane are now finding that they must "let go and let God". They need to accept that things have been "reset" and where they find themselves in the new starting point in their lives.
In my personal life this has been quite dramatic as I've struggled to fight against personal restrictions and barriers. The message I'm getting is that things have "reset" and I should accept both the good and the bad that is currently in my life as my new starting point. Take the hits and let them roll off my shoulders and more importantly accept the blessings that are now flowing in from all sides. It is time to step into a new life, not remain stuck in an old one!
Tomorrow is my sixtieth birthday and I bought a T-shirt that says "Life begins at 60"! I'm looking forward to wearing it for the first time!
Ascension lift off is Easter Sunday! How appropriate and how powerful! Can you feel it? Feel the difference? The mold has been in place for the past year, the concrete has been poured and allowed to set up. Now the support structures are being taken off and our new world stands revealed for the first time. The final hurdle and big question was if North Korea would erupt, but it didn't. Russia stands backed into a corner like a rabid dog but can do nothing.
Humanity should take this day and celebrate its collective victory! No one gets what they wanted, but everyone gets to continue, to move on. The opposing forces have been so severe and the emotions have been so violent. A true compromise has been forged out of conflicting beliefs and values and it is holding! The most dangerous point is now behind us! It is time to let the sediment settle to the bottom of the ocean where it belongs, time to let the murky waters clear so that everyone can see what has just happened!
Through the rest of this coming year we will see the advancement of peace and security as things settle down and the criminals and disrupters sink into self destructive spirals. You see, the world collectively had to choose between it's own self destructive tendencies or a willingness to compromise and it collectively chose to compromise! It collectively chose to live and those not in attunement with the new energy will soon leave. The battle is over.
It was never for one side to win over the other side, for one side to be victorious. Both sides had valuable points and arguments that need to be taken into consideration. It is now time for both sides to step forward in bipartisanship! It is time for both sides to understand that they have both won the battle! Our new world has risen and is firmly in it's new place! Duality has become Unity!
The Lunacy of Light Workers and the Far Left!
In surfing the web for various New Age sites I was appalled at the lunacy expressed by several light worker groups and thought I would make one final attempt to reach out to them. They were saying how Donald Trump had been deceived into attacking Syria and that Assad had not been the one behind the poison gas attack. That Assad was innocent and it was all a false flag event leading us all down the wrong track! This was echoed by other voices on the far left and even Ron Paul on the right! Russia said that Assad was innocent as well and that normal bombing had accidently hit a storage place of poison gas that the rebels had hidden within the city.
These people are blind to the truth of the matter! This is pure lunacy as I will attempt to illustrate. Just suppose that they are right and that Assad was not guilty of the poison gas attack. Does that make him innocent? No! He has been proven to have used barrel bombs in the past against his own civilian people, including women, children and babies, and barrel bombs are just as illegal as poison gas! Anyone that kills civilian women, children and babies is a monster! It doesn't matter if they use poison gas or barrel bombs. Assad is a monster and the inability to see him as one is pure lunacy! There is no reason to question his using poison gas on his own people when he has routinely used barrel bombs which are just as bad! Forget the barrel bombs and just understand that it is not normal to be dropping bombs on civilians anyway! The holes in this story are self evident!
Why are light workers and the far left unable to see this? The answer is simple. They don't have the ability to integrate their own shadow aspects! All they can perceive is the spiritual side of things in a loving way. They are filled with love and harmony, except for their anger, fear and hatred toward Trump which they don't even question. What is that all about anyway?
People like President Trump have integrated their light side together with their own dark side and are balanced at the soul level. This allows them to be spiritually, mentally and emotionally healthy for the most part. But the light workers and far left don't see the light in them and only see the dark in them! They only see the dark and don't understand that it is balanced and integrated in a healthy way with the light. This is why the light workers and far left are so fearful of Trump and his followers. It is also why they will lose this battle.
This new world is about being balanced and having both the higher self and shadow self integrated under the dominion of the normal healthy human ego. Both the Higher Self and Shadow self are secondary personalities that must be integrated and absorbed in order to be healthy. Light workers and the far left are holding on to their Higher Selves and rejecting their own Shadow aspects. They are projecting their own fears onto the rest of the world, particularly Trump and his associates. They are denying healthy human egos in favor of remaining under the influence and control of their own Higher Selves. In the meantime their own Shadow aspects are erupting as psychotic behavior!
The events of the past week have shown us several things about the energy dynamics of our New World moving forward. We have seen how easy it is for people to spiral into an inescapable vortex of mutual self-destruction and we have also seen the alternative, the power of creatively moving forward with a vision of the future. Those that choose to be destructive or even obstructionists are finding their world tumbling down around them. This is not the time to move against the tide that is sweeping across the world!
This is the time to move forward with the vision of the type of world we want to live in. All we have to do is participate and include our vision of the future with that of others. The horrific gas attack in Syria was a wake-up call to the entire world. It was certainly a wake-up call to Pres. Trump! Even more stunning was the support for the United States actions in bombing a Syrian air base. In a world where no individual country had the courage to stand up against such atrocities the United States and Pres. Donald Trump did what was needed! The rest of the world looked on. It is apparent that the world wants strong leadership from the United States! That is perhaps the most surprising thing that I have taken from these events.
In an almost miraculous way an opening has occurred for the nations of the world to join together under the leadership of the United States and collectively create a world without chemical weapons and other weapons of mass destruction! In a world where no solution seemed possible there is suddenly a light at the end of the tunnel! It requires the collective efforts and dreams of all the nations of the world, but the possibility didn't even exist one week ago!
What we are seeing is the unfoldment of events that have already happened within the astral planes even before last November's election. Who would have ever thought that the United States could take up its rightful place as a world leader in one night? There is divine guidance behind these things.
As we celebrate the Easter season it is a good time for us to reflect upon the type of world we want to create for ourselves and our children. It is time for peace on earth!
Today is April Fool's Day! Yesterday my car engine blew up! There seems to be a wave of things trying to physically manifest and they are not my things! But just as interesting is that I'm not being dragged down into a pit. It is as if I stand back watching this happen to someone else. I've got a second junker that I can ride to work in. Guess I know where that tax return money is going. Hit me with your best shot! I am going to get through this.
Things like this seem to be happening all over. Lines have been drawn in the sand and things have been blown way out of proportion until now people are getting hurt. That means people on both sides as the issues finally resolve themselves. I've been hurt but I'm going to survive and others will too! This is the "Dark Night of the Soul". This is the time when we have no more energy to move forward, when there is nothing left at all. This is the time when only the momentum of our own past efforts will carry us through to the dawning of a brighter day.
In politics the Democrats have finally seen the evidence that the Obama administration was spying on the Trump team. Everyone will finally see if Trump had direct ties to Russia. Nobody's perfect, but my car engine blew up! And I've been working at this stuff for years trying to prevent as much damage as possible. Let's just say that things have escalated so far that everyone is going to take some hits. The real question is whether anyone is going to go down! I don't see Trump going down. I don't see the grass roots energies of rugged individualism going down either. I see the collective dreams of couch potatoes being dashed as they meet hard physical reality.
We are just starting to see the Alt Right extremists derail the Republican party. They were there all along, but invisible, like a virus. It's good to get things out into the open. I believe that the house and senate intel committees will begin working together is such a strong way that bipartisan support will erupt as the swamp of murky Democrats and Republicans is drained and extremism cast aside in favor of cooperative moderation. It's time to roll up our sleeves and get things done.


Our Hyper Watermelon Chalice is perhaps the nicest chalice we have had the pleasure of cultivating. A bright hot pink base with purple undertones leads out to a neon green growth edge which contrasts perfectly with golden eyes. If you collect rare or high end corals do not miss this one! This WYSIWYG coral is a nearly completely grown out frag plug, roughly 1"+.
Chalice Corals are a broad collection of corals that are loosely jumbled together. Several different genera of corals are represented ranging from Echinopora, Oxypora, Mycedium, and even Lithophyllon. As such, care requirements are going to be generalized more than other corals because these are very different corals that all get lumped in together. Please see below for more care tips for Chalice Corals as well as checking out our Top 5 Tips for setting up a reef.
Indo-Pacific - Chalices are found all over the islands of the Indo-Pacific including Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands, and the Great Barrier Reef.
Moderate lighting is recommended for best coloration and overall health. Metal Halide lighting or a large bank of high output fluorescent can sometimes be tolerated but typically these corals do not fare well under extremely intense light. If not provided proper lighting, the colors may fade. Chalice corals tend to have some of the most impressive fluorescence in the reef keeping hobby which can be best viewed under actinic LED's. The Chalices we grow here at Tidal Gardens look best in the winter when light is less intense. In the summer they tend to brown out considerably but will return to more attractive coloration once in a stable home reef aquarium.
Moderate water movement is recommended. Flow that is too low can allow detritus to settle on the colonies which creates dead spots. Flow that is too strong may knock a chalice over because the shape of the colony acts as a sail that can catch the water current.
Chalice coral relies heavily on the products of their zooxanthellae, but are surprisingly one of the most aggressive eaters. We have tried feeding it a number of different types of food ranging from frozen foods to pellet foods. Chalices do not have pronounced polyp extension so it never appears that they are eating however in our time-lapse videos we can see that they eat large amounts of food. If you are curious about making your own food for both fish and coral, take a look at our Home Made Food Article!
This genus for the most part has been propagated extensively in captivity and is an excellent candidate for aquaculture. Chalices are diverse and some varieties propagate better than others.

I Miss Texting With T9
The Last Jedi Takes Star Wars to a Fantastic New Level
Newly Discovered Japanese Duck-Billed Dinosaur Was a Cretaceous Beach Bum
Victoria Song
Filed to:smartphone
I Miss I MissGizmodo staff fondly remembers the extinct gadgets of years past.
Smartphones have made plenty of tech obsolete. Yet every time I get a buzz for a text, I can't help but feel a deep yearning for the old glory days of T9 texting.
Before T9, or "text on 9 keys," texting was godawful. Each of your phone's nine number keys substituted for three or four letters, and to get to each one you had to press the same key multiple times. Too fast, and you'd blaze past the letter you were intending. Too slow and it'd assume you meant a different letter and you'd have to backspace and try all over again. Most times, it was easier to just call. Longer conversations with friends were for when you parked your butt in front of a computer and logged onto forums, chatrooms, or some sort of instant messenger. And while I miss that strict separation between phone and computer, having to call or email for everything was a pain.
That's why the first time I got a T9-capable cellphone, it blew my mind. It was a boring silver Motorola clamshell—the cheapest one at the Verizon store my dad was willing to get me—but I was finally able to shoot off quick messages like "Where u at" and "Running late" without taking 15 whole minutes to do so. Instead of having to tap multiple times to type one letter, I could hit a single key and trust an algorithm to predict what word I was trying to write. Sure, there were a few snags at first—especially with my friends' love of early 2000's slang—but over time my phone was able to learn which words I used most.
Technically, while T9 debuted in 1995, texting didn't take off right away. It still had to wait for network carriers to catch up. My first cellphone was a craptastic Panasonic with a monochrome screen the size of my thumb—you know like the ones on those old StarTAC phones. Even if I wanted to text on that thing, I don't think I could have. It wasn't until 1999 that you could text across networks, and in 2000, Americans were only sending about 35 texts per month. By the time I hit the end of middle school and started high school in 2002, that number skyrocketed to 250 billion worldwide. Smartphones weren't a thing until 2007, and the kids in my schools weren't rich enough to afford full-keyboard Blackberries. The cool kids were all T9-texting on their Motorola Razrs (and the rest of us made do with our knockoffs). By the time I graduated college in 2010, Nielsen reported teens were sending and receiving 3,339 texts a month.
But back to me getting my first T9-capable phone in summer 2002. Could I write a four page essay telling that one back-stabbing 'friend' who told my crush I hated him exactly where she could stuff it? Technically yes, but even with T9 that was an ambitious endeavor and likely to be riddled with typos. If you don't believe me, or you're too young to remember, you can try out this T9 emulator.
Here's what I miss about T9's limitations. It was easy to send run-of-the-mill texts like, "When r u heading home?" or "Can you pick up some water on your way home?" I could save my minutes for real conversations and not three-second housekeeping calls. I was also spared the embarrassment of multi-paragraph text arguments. Those were reserved for in-person blow outs, emails, or instant messengers. At least there, the extra effort and time delay gave me a moment to parse my thoughts.
I was still connected, but more importantly, I wasn't distracted. When I was out with friends, my mind wasn't chained to my computer at home. Carrying on text conversations with people who weren't present was way too obvious—there was none of that slip the phone under the table, keep your eyes up, and surreptitiously text other people thing that so many of my friends do these days. T9 was convenient, but it still took a minute to type out a coherent sentence.
Recently, I decided to rewatch the first three seasons of Veronica Mars with my partner. Set in the early 2000's this was a typical CW—or back then, WB—show about teens with a dash of murder. In each episode, the characters' crappy phones played a major part—just in a different way than you might expect if the show had been made today. People sent texts, but they were short and to the point. The majority of the drama happened in real-life conversations, or occasionally over email. Phones were a useful tool, but life and relationships didn't revolve around them. I credit T9 with that.
Of course, it's hard not to want more of a good thing and T9 was clearly a gateway drug. Once it became clear what the possibility of instantaneous communication via texting could do, T9's days were numbered—starting with physical keyboards on phones. Even Veronica upgraded to a T-Mobile Sidekick II in later seasons. Smartphones were the final nail in T9's coffin and today, it's useless for everyone except stubborn holdouts clinging to their flip phones.
I held out for as long as I possibly could—the first iPhone was announced in 2007, but I didn't give up T9 until early 2012. A big part of that was because I didn't want to get sucked into that texting life. It annoyed all my friends, but truthfully, I liked having a viable excuse to be as communicative or uncommunicative as I wanted. T9 gave me a sense of control that I feel I've since lost—even if I love how texting has evolved to include emojis, reaction gifs, and memes.
Sure, I could regain a semblance of control if I had more discipline. Realistically? These days, being unreachable is sometimes borderline irresponsible. When that thought stresses me out, I look back and miss the level of measured connectivity that T9 provided.

George W. Rappleyea
In 1929 Rappleyea became Vice President of Higgins Boat Industries, the maker of the famous Higgins landing crafts used in World War II. Higgins boats are credited with helping to win the war for the Allies.
In 1946 Rappleyea became Secretary-Treasurer of the Marsallis Construction Company in New Orleans. In March 1947 Rappleyea and others were arrested in New Orleans for conspiracy to violate the National Firearms Act. According to Time Magazine, "William Marsalis and George Rappleyea had a hole-in-the-wall office in New Orleans, a houseful of guns in Gulfport, Miss., plus two landing ships, four P-38s and four tanks. They insisted that they were interested only in opening up the mahogany wilderness of British Honduras." In March 1948, Rappleyea pleaded guilty in a federal court in Biloxi, Mississippi to conspiracy to ship arms and ammunition to British Honduras. He was sentenced to one year in prison.
