Trump Administration Sued by States Over Abortion-Referral Rule

(Bloomberg) -- California and other Democrat-led states are going to court to block the Trump administration's policy that bars taxpayer-funded health-care providers from referring pregnant women for abortion services.
Opponents of the new rules say they will cut off Planned Parenthood and other health providers that offer abortion services from hundreds of millions of dollars of federal funding. The referral restrictions are part of a broader, conservative shift by the administration, which has been blocked in court from undoing an Obamacare requirement that employers provide insurance coverage for contraception.
California filed a challenge to Trump's abortion restrictions Monday in San Francisco federal court. A multi-state lawsuit, brought mostly by Democratic-controlled states, is set to be filed Tuesday in federal court in Eugene, Oregon, the New York attorney general's office said in a statement.
The federal Title X program last year offered $286.5 million in grants that funded family-planning services. Each year the program serves about 4 million women across the U.S., most of them with poverty-level incomes.
The administration's new policy "prohibits the use of Title X funds to perform, promote, refer for, or support abortion as a method of family planning," according to a fact sheet published by the Department of Health and Human Services.
Clinics will also be required to create physical walls separating their abortion services from other family-planning programs. Critics say a "gag rule" in the regulations that runs counter to medical ethics will prevent Planned Parenthood from referring women to health-care providers that perform abortions and authorizes providers to give only biased, one-sided information about carrying a pregnancy to term.
"The Trump administration's gag rule is an attack on over 1 million low-income Californians who rely on life-saving screenings and care from providers they trust," California Governor Gavin Newsom said in a statement.
The referral restrictions are set to go into effect 60 days after the date of publication of the new regulations, while there's a yearlong wait on enforcement of the requirement that clinics have separate entrances and exits, treatment facilities and patient records.

You are here: Home / Churros, any time
Irresistible ways that different cultures have found to fry up dough include the jelly-filled sufganiyot in Israel, and in China, a twisted dough stick known as you tiao.
Fritter, cruller, doughnut, beignet, elephant's ear, funnel cake, buñuelo are also variations on deliciously deep fried dough but the one that is perhaps most famous is the churro.
Churros have now become one of the most popular food indulgences of any kind, including a version in Disneyland.
Whether they were first created a few centuries ago by shepherds who invented the churro out of a need to make some simple, filling food while roaming the mountains, or many centuries ago by Phoenician sailors, the word Churros has now become one of the highest-ranked recipe searches on Google.
Recipes for ways to serve up and enjoy fried dough date from the 12th century, from Moorish Spain and other Arabic sources dating back to the 8th and 9th centuries
Today's churro is not that different from the recipe for a flour and water fritter in Apicius, a Roman cookbook dating from the 1st century AD and in the Mediterranean, the frying of dough is known to date from the Ancient Greeks , and before.
Spanish explorers in the 17thC took their fluted snacks, skinny, crispy treats called churros to the New World on their ships. From there, over the centuries, churros have become as much a part of breakfast in Mexico City and Buenos Aires as in Madrid and Malaga, often dunked into a cup of steaming hot chocolate.
Churros at Chocolatería San Ginés, Madrid
In wealthy 16th century Spain, chocolate, thick, dark and on the bitter side, was often drunk on its own but it was not until the late 19thC that it became a new sensation when churros were dipped into chocolate at Madrid's famous Chocolatería San Ginés when they started serving churros and mugs of thick, dark chocolate.
Chocolatería San Ginés in Madrid
As the now famous chocolateria explains "The churro is to dough what the French fry is to potatoes. Creamy, but with an emphasis on crunchy, in the right proportions."
While authentic churros are an essential feature at ferias, fairs and events and celebrations throughout the year the traditional churrerias in Gibraltar and the Campo area are also still packed at breakfast time.
In Gibraltar several popular breakfast places, including Bake and Take, Little Trucker and Time Out, provide churros while in the Campo area one of the best known of the churrerias in La Linea is Katuca, where celebrations have started for their 30th anniversary.
Authentic churros
"An authentic Spanish churro is thin and needs to be piped through a star-shaped funnel tip.
That way, the ridges get crispier then the rest, and the full gamut between crunch and chew can be appreciated by the mindful. The shape also has other things to recommend it.
A doughnut bumps into your cheeks but a churro is easier to eat, which may explain in part why they're so popular as a walk-around treat at fairs and amusement parks."
While one group of churro-enthusiasts enjoys their churros with chocolate, preferably chocolate Santa María, based on the chocolate enjoyed by the 17thC explorers, there is the camp that says churros should be enjoyed on their own, no chocolate.
Traditional dark chocolate, for dunking churros
According to one churromaker, "Those aren't churros anymore, that's a dessert! I don't like those silly frills, we make churros al natural, crunchy and served on the traditional metal tray."
Variations on what is considered to be an authentic churro include those with the addition of both butter and eggs and the traditional Portuguese farturas recipe is a combination of funnel cake and churros
The Portuguese fartura
The porra is the plumper cousin of the churro, the difference between them only in that the recipe includes baking powder to create a puffed, airy texture, almost exactly the same as youtiao.
Two other authentic churro types, in addition to the classic, are the Madrid churro, creamy and crunchy, and in Malaga, the heartland of the churro, the terenjero, "softer and juicier, and very filling."

Tejeringos in Malaga
Churros at home
To make churros at home, the batter essentially consists of water, flour, eggs, sugar and a pinch of salt, piped through a pastry bag into long strips, deep-fried in vegetable oil, then rolled in sugar, sometimes mixed with cinnamon mixed into the sugar as a variation.
The basic mix for the traditional classic churro is one cup of water to one cup of common all-purpose flour, with a pinch of salt. The oil must be piping hot, so great care must be taken when handling it, and the flour dry so that the churros will absorb less oil.
Vegetable oil is used, although the celebrity chef Karlos Arguiñano prefers olive oil, but not necessarily extra virgin.
Some recipes include vinegar, which makes a smoother batter or enrich their batters with margarine or butter and there are also cream- and custard-filled varieties.
When churros are eaten more as an occasional treat than a staple of daily eating, nutritionists and the health-conscious breakfaster need not worry too much about all the refined carbohydrates and calories.
Looking at the ingredients of churros it's clear why the healthy eater should be cautious when they are eaten as a main part of the daily diet.
The nutritional content of the different types of churro depends on the variation in the recipe, but a 10-inch/25 cms, 2.5-ounce/75 gm plain churro would contain some 240 calories – about the same as a small helping of French fries, or a doughnut
The churro also contains about 9 of the 65 fat grams recommended on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. It has nearly 35 of the day's recommended 300 grams of carbohydrates, which the body breaks down into sugar – and that's before it's been rolled in the sugar / cinnamon
Less than a gram of dietary fibre is available to slow down the breakdown of those carbohydrates, although the fat does slow the rate at which the stomach digests the churro.
The protein to help build muscle and tissues would be just the 3.9 grams from the flour and eggs.
Salt would be some 226 milligrams or about 10% of the recommended daily limit of 2,400 milligrams.
The flour, even if enriched, provides negligible amounts of calcium, iron and vitamins.
The fresh oil in which the churros are fried contains vitamin E or a preservative to keep it from turning rancid but as soon as the oil is heated it begins oxidizing, which is the chemical process of going rancid.
The oil changes chemically, picking up more hydrogen (thus the term hydrogenated oils) and forming trans-fatty acids, which are increasingly associated with heart disease and other chronic illnesses.
One real health concern is whether all the carbohydrates in the churros end up being transformed into excess body fat – that will depend on whether all the calories get burnt up by the average person neutralising the potential caloric damage of a single churro with a 2.5-mile run.
Adults should ensure they find the right level of tradeoff that's always required between Eating and Exercise, although a visit to the gym is perhaps unlikely after enjoying the warm and fresh wheels of churros, chopped into manageable strips and served with sweet hot chocolate or coffee alongside.

Q: Flutter: GridView with dynamic height cards for each row (X-Axis items) I've product cards that have different heights depending on the content similar to the image provided below.
The cards on the same row/level (X-Axis) should be set to match the height of the max item card on that row/level. The product cards I'm having could have titles fit one or two lines and different widgets with different heights (Like discounts and free shipping icon).
I've tried using flutter_staggered_grid_view but there's nothing like what I asked for in it.
My current thoughts are creating ListView with children as Row containing the cards as if it was CrossAxisCount and the Row is wrapped with IntrinsicHeight to ensure that children are set to max-height, but hoping that there is a cleaner solution.

Declaration on Behalf of the Eastern Orthodox Church
The Rt. Rev. Archbishop GERMANOS, Metropolitan of Thyateira, then presented to the Conference the following declaration, in English, on behalf of the delegates from the Orthodox Church:
Brethren, on receiving the invitation of the Organising Committee of the World Conference on Faith and Order seven years ago, the
Orthodox Church answered readily by sending representatives from her particular Orthodox Churches to the preliminary Conference in 1920 at Geneva. That delegation of the Orthodox Church put before the Conference a united declaration in general terms of the teaching of their Church in the matter of faith and order and at its conclusion recommended that before any discussion of the reunion of the Churches in faith and order, a League of Churches should be established for their mutual co-operation in regard to the social and moral principles of Christendom. Further, when the Orthodox Church was invited a short time ago to take part through her representatives in the present Conference, although many of her particular Churches are in distress so grave as to threaten their very existence, she hastened to send her delegations to it.
Accordingly, we, the undersigned, delegates of the Orthodox Church, being inspired by a sincere feeling of love and by a desire to achieve an understanding, have taken part in every meeting held here for the purpose of promoting closer brotherhood and fellowship between the representatives of the different Churches and for the general good and welfare of the whole body of Christians. But while sharing the general labours of the Conference both in delivering addresses as arranged in the programme and in taking part in the open debates, as also in the work of the Sections, we have concluded with regret that the bases assumed for the foundation of the Reports which are to be submitted to the vote of the Conference, are inconsistent with the principles of the Orthodox Church which we represent.
Therefore, we judge it to be a matter of conscience that with the exception of the first we must abstain from voting in favour of the two Reports which are now ready. Although both in the papers read, in speeches, in debate and in statements made in the three Sections, we Orthodox have already made plain and clear what are the points of view and the conceptions of the Orthodox Church in regard to the subjects under discussion, we hold it to be of importance that we should specify here certain points in order to make manifest the differences which separate us from other members of the Conference. For example, while the Report on the Message of the Church, since it is drafted on the basis of the teaching of the Holy Scripture, is in accordance with the Orthodox conception and can be accepted by us, it is otherwise with the two other Reports, on the Nature of the Church and upon the Common Confession of the Faith of the Church. The drafting of these two latter was carried out on a basis of compromise between what in our understanding are
conflicting ideas and meanings, in order to arrive at an external agreement in the letter alone, whereas, as has often at other times been emphasised in statement by representatives of the Orthodox Church, in matters of faith and conscience there is room for no compromise. For us, two different meanings cannot be covered by, and two different concepts cannot be deduced from, the same words of a generally agreed statement. Nor can we Orthodox hope that an agreement reached upon such statements would remain lasting.
That the drafting committees have realised the existence of this disagreement is apparent from many of the notes which they have placed in the Reports and which leave full liberty upon matters which at least we Orthodox hold to be fundamental. Thus for example, we Orthodox cannot conceive a united Church in which some of its members would hold that there is only one source of divine revelation, namely, Holy Scripture alone, but others would affirm that apostolic tradition is the necessary completion of Holy Scripture. While the full freedom so accorded in the Report to each Church to use its own confession of faith would make those confessions of indifferent value in themselves, on the other hand, nothing but confusion as to the one common conception of the Faith of the so united single Church could arise.
The Orthodox Church adheres fixedly to the principle that the limits of individual liberty of belief are determined by the definitions made by the whole Church, which definitions we maintain to be obligatory on each individual. This principle holds good for us not only as to the present members of the Orthodox Church, but also as to those who, in future, may become united with it in faith and order. Moreover, the symbols which would be accepted by the united Church acquire their importance (in our conception as Orthodox) not only from the fact of their being historical witnesses of the faith of the primitive Church, but above all because the Church has affirmed their validity in her Ecumenical Councils. It should be unnecessary for us to add that the Orthodox Church recognises and accepts as an Ecumenical Symbol only the Creed of Nicea-Constantinople.
That which holds good for us in regard to the Ecumenical Symbol, holds good also in regard to the dogmatic definitions of the Seven Ecumenical Councils, the authority of which no Orthodox would be justified in shaking.
Therefore the mind of the Orthodox Church is that reunion can take place only on the basis of the common faith and confession of the ancient, undivided Church of the seven Ecumenical Councils and of the first eight centuries.
Although the Reports of the other three Sections are not yet to hand, the process of debate upon them makes it evident that agreement on them can be reached only by vague phrases, or by a compromise of antithetical opinions. Thus, for example, we cannot conceive how agreement can be made possible between two conceptions which agree that the existence of the ministry of the Church is by the will of Christ, but differ as to whether that ministry was instituted by Christ Himself in its three degrees of bishop, priest and deacon. In the same way we judge there to be no practical value in an agreed formula as to the necessity of sacraments in the Church when there is a fundamental difference between the Churches not only in regard to their number but also as to their general significance, as to their particular essential nature and as to their particular effects.
This being so, we cannot entertain the idea of a reunion which is confined to a few common points of verbal statement; for according to the Orthodox Church, where the totality of the faith is absent there can be no communio in sacris.
Nor can we here apply that principle of economy which in the past the Orthodox Church has applied under quite other circumstances in the case of those who came to her with a view to union with her.
In consequence, while we, the undersigned Orthodox representatives, must refrain from agreeing to any Reports other than that upon the Message of the Church, which we accept and are ready to vote upon, we desire to declare that in our judgment the most which we can now do is to enter into co-operation with other Churches in the social and moral sphere on a basis of Christian love. Further, we desire to add that as Orthodox Delegates we should view a partial reunion of those Churches which share the same principles with satisfaction as a precedent to general reunion, inasmuch as it would thus be easier for our Orthodox Church to discuss reunion with the Churches which had so united into a single Church and had a single faith, than with many Churches with different faiths.
In making it plain that we have arrived at our decision only in obedience to the dictates of our conscience, we beg to assure the Conference that we have derived much comfort here from the experience that, although divided by dogmatic differences, we are one with our brethren here in faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Declaring that in the future we shall not cease to devote ourselves to labour for the closer approach of the Churches, we add that we shall pray to God without ceasing that by the operation of His Holy
Spirit He will take away all existing hindrances and will guide us to that unity for which the Founder and Ruler of the Church prayed to His heavenly Father: " that they all may be one as we are one."
We close with the intercession that our Lord will richly give His blessing to one and all who labour in sincerity and in His fear for the establishment of His kingdom among men.

THE CHAIRMAN: We sympathise with our Orthodox brethren in their difficulty and appreciate most sincerely the tone in which this declaration has been offered to us, and we welcome with great thankfulness the indication of their desire as far as possible to continue in spiritual unity with us. It is too great an issue for me to venture to say anything about it, and I will call upon the President of the Conference, Bishop Brent, to indicate what seems to him the proper course of action.
BISHOP BRENT: A Conference such as ours, which pays mutual deference to the consciences of all present, cannot take any exception to the statement made on behalf of the Eastern Orthodox brethren by Archbishop Germanos.
We appreciate his frankness, but I would point out the fact that the paper is but a declaration of the manner in which the Orthodox Church will act with regard to the Reports when finally presented, and being such—and in this Archbishop Germanos agrees with me there should be no discussion of it. I should, however, like to point out one or two things.
In the first place, this Conference was not called to provide a sufficient basis for unity in its first inception; it was stated clearly that it was to be a Conference in which both agreements and disagreements were to be carefully noted, and we thank our Orthodox brethren for making so distinct the differences which prevent them from taking a more positive position in relation to, the Reports, We thank them because we are now in a position to consider the stand they take with more clearness than we could otherwise have done.
I would further say that in our Reports we have tried to be frank, and have tried to avoid compromise. We have given the Eastern Orthodox every opportunity to express their differences. They have expressed them to a certain extent, and we are glad to have their statements incorporated in the Reports in the final form in which I believe this assembly will receive them, But their further statement gives us a large responsibility, and we only hope that they will study the positions which are contrary to their own position with the same earnestness and lack of prejudice that the balance of the Conference will study their position.
I do not think it is necessary for me to say anything more. This is not a Conference that aims at a complete agreement, and there can only be a complete agreement reached when everyone faces the convictions of others with honesty, and we congratulate our Orthodox brethren on the frankness with which they have made their statement, because I recognise that it is an extremely difficult thing to take the position which they have taken and which I will say they have taken with great grace.
THE CHAIRMAN: The matter now before the Conference was not on the agenda for to-day, but Bishop Brent and myself felt it to be a matter of such importance that it was due to our Orthodox brethren that they should have an opportunity of bringing the matter forward now. It does seem to me, however, that it would be a departure from the proper order of business if we were to engage in any discussion of it at the present stage. The proper occasion for such a discussion would be at the time of the discussion on Report VII or when we are debating the question of the reception of the various Reports.

We Transform Helping Youth Offenders Beat the Odds
Jamaica News: When then 13-year-old *Sophie was placed at the South Camp Juvenile Correctional and Remand Centre for Girls for committing aggravated assault, she cried every day for weeks.
The 18 months she was ordered to spend at the juvenile centre seemed like an eternity of misery, but now she is grateful for the experience and the way it helped to turn her life around.
Although the adjustment to her new surroundings was initially tough, her time at the juvenile facility and the support she received from staff of the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) proved to be invaluable to her life.
"Things started turning around for me there because of the staff. I remember when I started at the school there, teachers encouraged me because I had potential and they just told me to do my best," Sophie explains in an interview with JIS News.
She completed her time at the juvenile centre with three Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) subjects, but encountered difficulty in her reintegration into society.
"Before I left the facility, I always said I would change, but when I got home, I was just rushing to do everything, as I wanted to use my freedom… so I would leave home without getting permission and go to parties," she recounts.
An intervention came from the maths teacher from the juvenile centre, who helped her to enrol in another high school. Her former wardens sought help for her to sit four additional CSEC subjects and a City and Guilds examination.
Sophie is the first recipient of a $100,000 educational grant under the Ministry of National Security's 'We Transform' programme to cover her tuition as she pursues four Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) subjects in sixth form, where she is focused on business subjects.
The funds were provided through support from FamFun Entertainment Limited.
Minister Henry Tours JIS Television Dept. New Building
Sophie says she is grateful for the financial assistance and the support to reintegrate into society.
"If I didn't go to South Camp, I don't know where all the help I got would come from. Maybe I wouldn't be in the position I am in right now. Everything happens for a reason, I regret what I did, and I am grateful for what has happened to me as a result of the rehabilitation received through the DCS," she tells JIS News.
Launched in 2017, the We Transform programme focuses on facilitating the rehabilitation and reintegration of youth offenders who were placed in the four juvenile remand centres.
It targets over 200 children between the ages of 12 and 17 in the facilities as well as youth offenders monitored by the island's 16 community service (probation) offices.
The programme's first phase concentrated on engaging youth in academics, vocational education, and health and wellness activities, including workshops on sexual and reproductive health as well as substance abuse.
Minister of State in the National Security Ministry, Hon. Rudyard Spencer, says the transition from childhood to young adulthood can be a challenging period; therefore, programmes such as We Transform are important.
"Many of our youths continue to face environmental, social and family conditions that hinder their personal development and successful reintegration in the economy and society. The intention is to stimulate prosocial values, attitudes and behaviour among our unattached youth," he points out.
He adds that this approach will re-socialise antisocial mindsets and promote respect for self, others and community.
Minister Spencer says the Ministry will continue to work assiduously to create and support targeted social-intervention programmes designed to prevent youth from seeking refuge in crime.
Programme Manager, We Transform, Ella Ghartey says the initiative is important in giving youth offenders a second chance.
"Through the many rehabilitative programmes, all of the children in State care are engaged in purposeful activities such as education, skills training among others," she points out.
Meanwhile, Miss Ghartey is calling on corporate Jamaica to support We Transform as it moves into the second phase, which will focus on similar support such as that provided to Sophie.
"We are inviting Jamaicans to assist us in providing educational grants and internship/job placements. Additionally, an organisation can adopt a child to provide critical financial and emotional support," the Programme Manager urges.

Q: Why is string.find_first_of behaving this way? I am trying to make a (assembly) parser which uses a string as a guide for how to cut the text to get the tokens I want.

string guide = "$!,$!,$!";
int i = 1;
string test =s.substr(0, s.find_first_of(" ,.\t"+to_string(guide[i+1]) ));

if s = "$t4" then test = "$t"
what I am expecting it to do is test to be "$t4", this works for every other $tX except for specifically the number 4 even though it's not in the (" ,.\t"+to_string(guide[i+1])) string

A: s.find_first_of(" ,.\t" + std::to_string(guide[i + 1]))

Assuming ASCII, that string will be:
 ,.\t44

44 is the ASCII value of the , in guide[i + 1].
The first character in "$t4," that it'll find is 4 at position 2, and you then create a substring from 0 and length 2, that is $t.


I want you to imagine learning how to ride a bike. Maybe you had a parent teach you, a friend, or maybe you learned on your own. Whatever the case, I want you to try and think back to that time in your life as I share my own experience.
I can vividly remember my own father taking me to the church parking lot to practice and learn how to ride a bike. I remember feeling pretty apprehensive about the situation out of fear that I might fall. I am known to have a very low tolerance for pain so the possibility of getting hurt weighed heavily on my mind.
As my dad taught me he would start by holding me up, staying very close in case I got off balance. However, as I got better, he would slowly let me go. I remember the insecure feelings I felt as I began riding on my own. At first I was pretty wobbly. I can remember my heart racing as I could feel myself beginning to tip. What I don't remember was ever completely falling over. Although I didn't always see him, I knew my dad was close. Every time I felt like I might crash, my dad was right there to catch me.
Although I am sure it took some time and patience on my dad's part, I never remember him being frustrated or upset when I lost my balance. He was always there, ready to catch me. I imagine there might have been times where I was too scared to keep trying and wanted to give up. However, my dad never gave up on me. No matter how many times I "lost my balance" he was there. He believed in me.
Just like my dad, or any parent who teaches their kids to ride a bike, Heavenly Father is right there ready to catch us when we feel "wobbly". I couldn't always see my dad, but I knew he was there. Throughout our Earthly lives, we won't be able to physically see our father in heaven, but as we trust and lean on Him, we can know He is there.
When I finally "got it" and was able to ride a bike, my dad was proud. It didn't matter how many times I lost my balance, it didn't matter if I fell. I got back up. I kept trying. And eventually I "got it". Not once has my dad ever said, "Well, you were pretty wobbly at first", or, "Eh, you fell down ____ many times, so it doesn't really matter that you can ride now." All that matters is that I can ride a bike. The wobbles and crashes that happened in the process of learning are irrelevant.
Throughout our lives we are going to feel "wobbly", we might even "fall" or "crash". The good news is, Heavenly Father is always there to hold us up, or if need be, pick us up. He doesn't care how many times we fall, as long as we keep getting up. He doesn't want us feeling weighed down by our fears or past mistakes. He wants us to keep moving forward. Just like we must keep moving on a bike to avoid falling, in life it is the same. Keep moving forward, don't quit. And if you fall, keep getting up.


The configuration of the stars of the coming Full Moon in Taurus will be magnificent for the intense energies triggered in the sky. On one side, this Full Moon will have the qualities of a Super, Super Full Moon, meaning that our satellite will be at its closest position to the Earth since 1948; on the other side, the Black Moon Lilith, which represents karmic imprints and the calling to the inner truth, will be conjunct the Sun at 23° Scorpio and opposite the Moon at 23° Taurus.
In our former blog we clearly described the energies of this Scorpionic time of the year. We are definitely at the end of the old way of living our lives and coming to the understanding that what we truly are in the depth of the Self is very different from the idea that we hold in our mind. We have been struggling between the old and the new for quite a long time and Scorpio has brought this inner conflict to the surface for its resolution. Scorpio is about death and rebirth, recapitulation and reorientation, and with its turquoise quality it speaks about the process of individuation, which means going beyond the erratic intellect and accepting who we deeply are. This is the sign of the Sun/Soul, whose energetic influence will be enhanced, because the Earth will fully receive an unrestrained flow of energy from the constellation where it is located.
Scorpions most often bite the heel, which according to the Semang cultural tradition represents the place through which the soul leaves the body at the time of death. The heel holds the foundation-stone of our body structure and, once it is affected, the person falls down. In the Jewish tradition the heel is called the Angel of Death in Man and it is described as the place expressing our lowest mundane level, but it also relates to the coming of the redemption.
At the time of the Full Moon the veil of illusion is lit up, it is a time of emotional tuning of the themes appeared during the previous New Moon, a time where "a stream of love is poured forth by all Masters" (Master Djwal Khul) to support our rise in consciousness.
The Black Moon Lilith will stand next to the Sun at 19° Scorpio. Black Moon Lilith is not a planet, but a point in the orbit of the Moon, called apogee, which is furthest away from the Earth. Lilith appeared first in the Sumerian mythology as the handmaid to the Goddess Inanna, the Queen of Heaven, and later as the first exiled wife of Adam in the Hebrew tradition. Lilith's presence makes us experience a spiritual crisis in order lift up the illusionary veils of the personality and reveal the naked Truth of the soul.
The Sabian symbol for Lilith is about the courage to go through the veiling darkness and plunge ahead into the unknown territory of the soul. It is about a "unitive life", which occurs when we go beyond fear and selfishness in order to rediscover the love that we hold within.
The hidden hypothetical planet Vulcan at 26° Scorpio, conjunct the Sun, is the esoteric ruler of Taurus, both on the Fixed and Cardinal Crosses. Vulcan vehicles the energy of Ray 1 of Will and Power, which stimulates the process of death and the opening of the door to a clear vision of the Divine Plan. Vulcan is the God of Fire and he creates the need for going deeply into the material aspect of life in order to free an individual from his identification with the form.
In the esoteric teachings Taurus is associated to illumination and the opening of the third eye, which means to be able to awaken the Higher Mind functions and see reality as it is. It teaches us about the nature of desire, assisting us in releasing our personal attachments and shaping matter as an expression of spiritual values. The Taurean challenge is a constant struggle between Spirit and matter, self and non-self, creating a strong inner sense of separateness.
In the universal language of colour Taurus relates to coral. Coral is about unrequited love, dependency and co-dependency issues. As we do not love who we deeply are, we look for that love in the outer world, thinking that if we own, if we have, we will fulfil that sense of separation and unworthiness that we feel inside. Taurus on the Cardinal Cross (the Cross of the initiate) is about going beyond the limits of the personality (thinking, feeling and behaviour) towards the resolution of this conflict so that we can live from soul.
The Moon will be conjunct the Fixed Stars Algol and Capulus, which are both positioned in the constellation of Perseus. Perseus was the son of Zeus and Danae. As a young man he undertook the mission of killing Medusa, one of the three Gorgon sisters whose hair was changed into hissing serpents by Minerva. Everyone who looked at her tenebrous beauty was changed into stone, symbolic of the identification with desire, which gives birth to the rigid mental structure of the personality (stone), trapping the soul inside. Perseus slayed Medusa by cutting her head off while she was asleep, guided by her image reflected in the luminous shield that Minerva had given him. Algol is positioned in the Head of Medusa, which represents the illusion coming from desire; while Capulus is a cluster in the hand holding the sword which slayed her.
Capulus is associated to the Hebrew letter Lamed and the esoteric Tarot card The Hanged Man. The Lamed represents the heart breaking through the limitation of the rational intellect and aspiring to the Divine guidance. The Hanged Man is the all-seeing eye (in esoteric numerology 12/3 is the Eye of the Trinity), which is able to perceive the glamour and illusion of the outer world and is giving over in obedience to the impulse coming from the soul.
Conjunct the Moon we have the little planet Sedna (discovered in 2004), which is located far beyond Pluto and which it takes 10.500 years to orbit around the Sun. Sedna is the Inuit Goddess of the Ocean who rules the marine life and controls the fate of humans by releasing her bounty to those who respect the sacredness of life and withholding it from those who are careless. In her myth Sedna had no choice, as her father betrayed and killed her. On the Mutable cross Sedna is the expression of victimization, which then evolves into the decision of letting go of our personality and accept our soul (we are forced to answer no to the personality and yes to the soul; Sedna physically died but became immortal) and develop inner compassion for what we left behind.
The main aspect of this Full Moon in Taurus will be a quincunx formed by the Sun, Lilith and Vulcan, and Uranus conjunct Eris, Ceres and Andromeda in Aries. The presence of "rebellious" Uranus suggests a time of unpredictable changes in relation to what was initiated at the last New Moon, and a stage of personal transfiguration inducted by the awakening power of the "Voice of God" that this planet embodies.
Ceres represents Mother Nature, the Goddess of growth, grain crops and grieving, and the bond between the mother and the child. On one side, she is the emblem for separation and dying, and the mourning and grieving related to it, but she also associated to re-birth, new beginning and re-generation. Ceres reminds us that the new is always hidden behind the painful end of something; her task is to hold our hand as we walk through the dark nights of the Underworld (unconscious mind), teach us about the soul and the meaning of its existence. In this configuration Ceres stands next to Andromeda, the Chained Maiden, who was liberated and married by Perseus after he slayed Medusa.
In the Kabbalistic tradition this constellation is associated to the esoteric Tarot card The Stars. This tarot card talks about truth and love. It is about giving up any hope that belongs to the personality to follow the soul path; somehow we realize that we have to let go of all the needs and desires of the little self in order to connect to something greater; there has to be obedience to the soul as there is absolutely nothing else we can do but obey. The Stars represent the triumph of love and hope over the rational aspect of the mind; they symbolise the realization of Heaven (the soul) on Earth (body).
As the desires of the personality crumble in front of our eyes, a new vision emerges and we will finally own the truth of the soul.
Love is the only energy that truly drives our will and, as we recognize it within us, we can manifest not our own idea of the world but the One that Spirit has in Plan for us all.

The surprising truth behind the world's electric cars
Though electric cars are greener than conventional ones, much of their power still comes from coal.

Cybersecurity risks in aviation: Building a cyber-resilient future
The production and sale of electric vehicles accelerated in 2016, with two million cars manufactured and over 750,000 sold globally, according to the International Energy Agency's (IEA) 2017 Global Electric Vehicle report.
And the market is expected to boom further in the coming years. The report predicts electric car stocks will range from between nine million and 20 million by 2020 and between 40 million and 70 million by 2025. Countries around the world are also attempting to ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars, and are encouraging motorists to go green.
However, electric vehicles are not emissions-free. While these vehicles obviously run on electricity, that electricity typically comes from a mix of emissions-intensive fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and power from renewables. That is, unless you live in country like Norway, which generates virtually all of its electricity from hydropower. But Norway is the exception rather than the rule.
At the other end of the scale, China, whose electric vehicle market accounts for 40% of all sales globally, drives the most emissions-intensive electric cars. That is according to data from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), which shows the majority of China's electricity comes from coal.
China commands 40% of the global electric car market
China's coal consumption intensifies
While China is among the nations working to curb the production of fossil fuel-powered vehicles, its appetite for coal has intensified in recent years, from a global share of 13.6% in the early 1970s to 44.5% in 2016.
As a result, China produced 3,242 million metric tonnes (MT) of coal in 2016, dwarfing the world's second biggest producing nation, India, which accounted for 9.7%, or 708 Mt, of the world's total in 2016.
According to BNEF's data, electric vehicles in China produce 188.5 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per mile, the most of any country globally. In comparison, electric vehicles in the United Kingdom produce just over 76 grams of CO2, while in France just 2.7 grams are produced per mile.
The eco benefits outweigh the energy concerns
In reality, though, driving an electric car is still far more environmentally friendly than driving a gasoline-burning vehicle, which typically produce about 250 grams of CO2 per mile, BNEF says.
BNEF also points out that electric vehicles were 39% cleaner on average than using internal combustion engines in 2016. That gap is expected to widen to 67% by 2040, as renewables such as solar and wind make up a larger share of the global energy mix.
Renewable revolution
China is at the heart of this renewable energy revolution, having announced last year that it would invest $360 billion in renewable energy by 2020 and scrap plans to build more than 100 coal-fired plants (although Chinese corporations are backing coal power projects overseas).
The IEA Renewables 2017 report also predicts China will account for over 40% of the total global clean energy mix by 2022. This is the result of meeting various capacity targets and addressing concerns about the country's air pollution.
In recent months, for example, China has deployed various novel technologies designed to clean the air, including a 100-metre-tall smog-sucking tower in the city of Xian.
China has also already surpassed its 2020 solar panel target, and the IEA says it expects the country to exceed its wind target in 2019.

The biggest town in South Iceland, about 4.900 inhabitants. Situated at the lfus river. About 60 km away from Reykjavik, between Hveragerdi and Hella. Selfoss is also the name of a waterfall in the north of Iceland.
Selfoss is one of the hidden diamonds of iceland. Only 45 minute drive to the capital of Iceland.
Sometimes saidt that all routes lead to Selfoss because it is situated near many of greatest places to see in Iceland, including Gullfoss, Geysir, Reykjavik, ingvellir,Skogar, Sklholt and many other great places.
Many small, interesting towns are situated near Selfoss, such as Hveragerdi, Eyrarbakki, Stokkseyri, Thorlakshofn, Hella, Reykjavik, Skogar and other great destinations.
Like everything in iceland the town is small but still everything you need. The closeness to the beautifull nature, the sea near by, entertainment such as cinema for those who enjoy that a relaxing enviroment.
The great thing about Selfoss, which separates it from many other towns is that is not too small and not to big, not so far away from the Capital that you find your self isolated but not to short from the Capital so you are able to enjoy the fresh air of iceland, one of the cleanes water in the world and a peacefull, relaxing enviroment, making Selfoss one of the most exciting places to visit when coming to iceland.

What are universal carrier screening panels?
You may have heard of "universal" or "pan-ethnic" or "expanded" carrier screening panels, which are newer screening panels that test for 80+ genetic diseases that could could affect offspring, if both parents are shown to be carriers of the same disease. These panels are different from those that only test for genetic diseases common in the Jewish population. The expanded panels are available due to advances in genetic testing methods and technologies, which has made it easy to add more and more diseases to panels without a significant increase in cost. Because of this, and because one's true ethnicity is not always 100% clear, these larger panels are gaining popularity.
Because "knowledge is power," if one is found to be a carrier, then having been screened for more diseases would be considered "better." "Carrier couples" can use the information when considering various options for building a healthy family, and carriers could also tell their relatives of their results since they share genetic material.
As with any screening test, a negative result on a broader screening does not fully eliminate the risk of having a child affected with one of the tested disorders, it only reduces the risk. Furthermore, expanded carrier screening does not cover all diseases that could affect offspring. Additional diseases (not covered on the panel) may run in the family, ultrasounds may suggest the presence of other diseases, and genomic (chromosomal) disorders will not be picked up by universal carrier screening.
Should I consider expanded carrier screening?
It is up to you. For the Ashkenazi Jewish population, current professional guidelines recommend preconception carrier screening for diseases that are commonly found in this population, in addition to spinal muscular atrophy and (in some cases) fragile X syndrome. There are currently no professional guidelines to recommend the use of large expanded panels for carrier screening in the general population, although the updates on these guidelines may be forthcoming.
All this being said, if you would like to find out more about the possibility of expanded carrier screening, we recommend that you meet with a genetic counselor.
