Roughly seven years after spending a few months in Boise, I finally returned to the state to climb its highest mountain. Borah peak was my first 50 state high point that I attempted in the northwest, and at the time was the hardest of the continental state high points I had climbed so far. The adventure to the top of Idaho started off innocently enough, in the foothills of a dry valley surrounded by what looked like mostly large but gentle mountains.
I had done some minor research on Borah peak a while back, but not really enough to know much about the climb. Pretty much I entered the trailhead only knowing that it was a dry peak with no water available, and there was a feature called Chicken Out Ridge that turned around any climber with a fear of heights. A local gave me a tip, which was to carry an extra liter of water and stash it somewhere towards the bottom of the trail, that way I could retrieve it on the way down.
Maybe if you're climbing weeks on end then I'd be more careful, but I'm a strong believer that a few extra pounds doesn't make a difference, so I carried three liters of water plus an entire gallon jug that I placed in the bottom of my pack and headed up the trail. Just like people said, there is no water on the mountain. The photo above shows a dried out creek on the way up. Maybe in the early spring this would bring water from the melting snows, but by the end of July there was little snow left.
Borah peak is also known for its short but very steep trail to the summit. From the trailhead to the summit it's only three and a half miles (5.5 kilometers), but gains 5,000 feet (1,500 meters)! While hiking up the first section of the trail with my friend, I found that the trail wasn't necessarily super steep, just more relentless without any breaks. Just two weeks ago my friend and I had actually done much steeper trails in Shenandoah back in Virginia!
The trail can be very hot at the bottom of the mountain, but luckily in the morning you're entirely in the shade. Most people seem to start the climb around six in the morning, and during that time the sun will be below Borah as you head up in an eastern direction. If you divide the climb into three sections, the first would be hiking this steep trail through a patchy forest. There are more switchbacks and scree as you get higher, and the trees eventually thin out. These photos were taken around 9,000 feet (2,750 meters).
After leaving the forest, you'll enter what I'd call section two, which begins after your uphill climb ends on a ridge. The ridge is just over 10,000 feet (3,000 meters), and by now you're out of trees and directly in the sun. Instead of continuing directly east, you'll traverse southeast while Borah Peak sits in clear view to your left. The ridge gradually rises to 11,500 feet (3,500 meters) and is the only gentle part of your day. My friend and I figured the beginning of the ridge was an excellent place to have a long break, since it is exactly half way up the mountain in terms of elevation gain. Things seemed so bare here that I was a bit surprised to see holes in the trail left by burrowing animals, likely marmots. Then of all things I found a curious squirrel darting about the rocks and checking us out!
I wish I took some photos of the actual ridge itself, but instead I only took them of the trail ahead. From the ridge you can see the entire part of the route. The ridge I was on is just outside of the photo to the right, and finally appears as it is getting steep and rises up to Chicken Out Ridge. Chicken Out Ridge isn't all that long as you can see, but it's much more exposed than it looks in the photo, and if you're not well acclimatized you'll have an added challenge of altitude! After Chicken Out Ridge you can see there is a large snow chute, and once that is crossed the terrain gets easier.
Once the ridge was over we finally made it to the infamous Chicken Out Ridge. I wasn't sure what really to expect, but definitely not to meet two Sherpas from Namche Bazaar, a place I had spent several nights in 2016! After a quick conversation I continued on. To be honest, I always thought that Chicken Out Ridge was nothing more than a very narrow and exposed trail that you simply walk across. A place like that does exist higher up on the mountain, but Chicken Out Ridge itself is actually a class four scramble! My friend had never done a class four climb before, and had considered turning around once he saw the exposure but decided to at least try a few minutes of it.
I'm not really sure if Chicken Out Ridge is the entire way from where the class four starts or all the way to the snow chute. Either way, it quickly changes from an exposed ridge to a normal but exposed trail, with some random climbing parts in between.
I have seen some websites call Chicken Out Ridge a class three climb, which I find a bit confusing. As someone who has down several class fours and fives on places like Matterhorn or Carstensz Pyramid, I'm not sure how this ridge wouldn't be a class four, although I admit it's an extremely short section! Once past the beginning the trail went from what I'd call a class four, to two, and then to a three where you have to scramble up this short gully photographed above. Regardless of what you call it, I'd say the only really sketchy part was photographed below. This was clearly just a class two trail, but some of it was eroded by melting snow and ice. The part of the trail you had to step on was lose scree at a bad angle, and there were no handholds. We used our ice axes to bite into the wall for something to hold on to. The chance of falling was pretty low, but would have had high consequences.
After Chicken Out Ridge, the next most famous part of climbing Borah peak is the snow bridge. For my friend and I, it was more of the snow chute. Most continue to scramble up the mountain and remain in the rocks until topping out, then they walk across the snow bridge to the other side. Since we had ice axes, we decided to traverse the snow chute upwards. It looks much more intimidating when you're actually on it, but the foot holds from others were excellent and with an ice ax it was an easy ascent. In the photo below, you can see two others who had crossed the snow bridge and were now scrambling up the rocks to descend on the other side.
From this point, all that remains of Borah peak is a gentle walk followed by a scramble up the summit block. Immediately after the snow bridge you can see the summit again, as well as its steep trail.
I found it pretty incredible that at 12,000 feet (3,650 meters), there were wild flowers that lived on the side of the mountain. This wasn't so much because of the altitude, but more the fact that this area is covered with deep snow during the winter and is mostly hot dry scree in the summer. I saw the occasional flower all the way up towards the summit block, where I stopped to take this photo below. This shows the easy trail we just completed, with Chicken Out Ridge mostly out of view in the background.
From the summit block, the short scramble doesn't take you long to reach the top of Idaho. Being that the last significant mountain I had climbed was Mt. Everest the year before, I was surprised to see some Himalayan prayer flags at the summit! They were bran new, so clearly the two Sherpas I had just met had put them up only minutes ago. I was worried about being disappointed on this climb, but after reaching the summit I felt it was a legitimate peak with a special ending.

The Components That Make Smart Clothes Possible
about 11 months ago by Sam Holland
Smart clothing may already be here, but it will take a while before the average person is reading their heart rate statistics through the very fibres of their jumper. For now, let's discuss the components and engineering considerations involved that, once mastered, could eventually commercialise this latest breakthrough in wearable tech.
Smart clothing is the name for garments whose fibres are embedded with electronics, in the interest of providing such capabilities as data feedback, wireless connectivity, and power provision—with the ability to display the wearer's medical readings, enable data syncing over Bluetooth, and allow the user to charge their phone through their garments, being just three of the countless possibilities.
Accordingly, to consider what needs to go into the development of successful smart clothing (SC), a key matter concerns what engineers need to accomplish regarding such a breakthrough. At its crux, SC needs to cover three basic requirements—namely, it needs to be:
Comfortable and robust, particularly by being flexible;
Able to collect data (e.g. the wearer's medical statistics), as well as feed back such data to the wearer; and
Able to be powered by, and provide power to, the wearer on the move.

Therefore, smart clothing must 1) be comprised of a flexible-electronics-friendly material; 2) essentially be an HMI, i.e. the clothing should offer an interactive display function for the information it collates; and 3) ideally have a (practically) self-powering system in place (especially for convenience), particularly one that relies on the wearer's movements to function.
Respectively, therefore, let's focus on the implementation of fibre-embedded graphene, which covers the first and second criteria, before ultimately considering point 3.
Naturally, for electronics engineers to seamlessly embed technology into the fibres of consumer clothing, flexible electronics are a key area for the experts to focus on.
This calls for graphene, which (as covered here on EP before), is just one-atom thick. By being so lightweight, therefore, the unique carbon is well-suited to a smart clothing wearer's needs—which are altogether largely what everyone wearing normal clothing requires: freedom of movement.
Consider, therefore, that to be a commercial success, SC should ultimately offer no encumbrance: the abilities of even the most flexible gymnast should be accommodated by the up-and-coming technology.
It's with such flexibility considerations in mind that the Engineering Department at the University of Exeter (UoE) has taken a typical commercial textile, polypropylene (a synthetic resin that is used for common items, such as ropes, fabrics, and moulded objects) and introduced graphene to the equation, by weaving the semimetal into clothing fabric.
Image courtesy of Bigstock.
The result is that the one-atom-thin carbon electrodes are seamlessly embedded into polypropylene fibres, meaning the transparent material can serve its many HMI functions, for which the UoE engineers chiefly suggest display applications (particularly to show the wearer's medical readings), but conclude that the potential is in fact endless. Consider having GPS tracking and location services that can't be misplaced; or simply a medium to feed back any areas where the garments are damaged to further inform the protective clothing industry, and so on.
Graphene, after all, offers a milestone, not only in the effectiveness of SC, but in its robustness and comfortableness, too. "The key," says UoE engineering lecturer, Dr Ana Neves, "is that the textile fibres are flexible, comfortable and light, while being durable enough to cope with the demands of modern life."
Piezoelectric Circuitry
Without exploiting flexible electronics at large, the only way to power intelligent textiles is through a somewhat awkward external battery; and so, another example of SC becoming more practical is in its ability to be powered by its wearer: a feat that is now being progressively exploited by engineers, particularly those focused on university research.

While piezoelectricity has been familiar to engineers for over a century, its application (particularly explored by university engineering departments) in SC is one place where such an energy harvesting method is coming into its own all the more. In the context of smart textiles, a successful piezoelectric device is one that proves both a vibration energy harvester (VEH) and a transducer—namely one that converts pressure through body movements, i.e. a mechanical strain, into the electrical signal required to power the functions of the SC in question (be they data and/or power-oriented, or anything in-between).
Known as 'the piezoelectric effect', the above is achieved through the compression of a piezoelectric crystal (such as quartz), whose combination of positive and negative atoms are effectively forced to no longer cancel each other out, leading to a mechanically-generated charge (a process detailed here).
Authorities on piezoelectric energy harvesting and other related topics (experts such as the University of Chalmers' Swedish engineering researchers in the open-access journal, Flexible Electronics) credit polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as the leading piezoelectric material. This is due to its low weight and high flexibility: ideal efficiencies that combined can result in up to an 11% electromechanical coupling coefficient.
It's with this in mind that the Chalmers engineers and other scientists used PVDF, alongside other piezoelectric materials (which were formed of melt-spun microfibres), to constitute both a protective and electromechanics-friendly surface. Namely, a surface that surrounded a commercial conductive core (one example of which being a polyamide yarn). Ultimately therefore, the PVDF-based, outward layer gathers the required power through pressure, and the conductive core sits safely underneath it, ready to carry the resultant electric current.
The materials, and by extension the process itself, were contained in textile bands that were then lined inside a laptop strap (hopefully to be replaced by more common clothing one day!). The bands were then tested, which produced results that showed several volts of output for a less-than-1% strain: a process that has already successfully powered an LED, a calculator, and even facilitated a wireless signal transmission.
What's even more promising is that the seamless implementation of conductive yarn and its surrounding, water-resistant PVDF-based piezoelectric circuitry shows that the future of smart clothing does not have to be halted by harsh weather conditions; in fact, the conductivity of rainwater, and the weight-induced pressure that comes with wetted fibres, will even enhance it and further inform the smart textiles industry. "Gratifyingly, the robust and wear-resistant nature of these fibres allows us to exploit traditional manufacturing routes," write the Chalmers researchers.
Where Do These Breakthroughs Leave Us Now?
With smart clothing currently being defined by invisibly-small graphene circuitry for seamless in-fibre HMI displays, and electromechanics so well-implemented that even a stroll through a rainy day can reward an intelligent textiles wearer with energy to power their tech, there's no denying that the requirements mentioned earlier are being seen to.
It's with this in view, that it takes no stretch of the imagination to envision the smart clothing industry taking off in the foreseeable future.
The Case for Early-Stage Development of Recyclable Electronic Devices
The current design processes for developing electronics often don't factor in the result of a significant amount of material waste.

While in Chicago I met up with my good friend, Heather Talbert. She's an incredible photographer and I'm sure some of you remember the amazing shots she took of me last year. So I had been missing her like crazy and I was oh so happy that I got to meet up with her for lunch at a cute little restaurant called, State Lake in downtown Chicago.
Here are some images from a job I did for Republic Bike. Its this awesome company that lets you build and customize your own bike!
Yesterday, I needed a girl day. So me and my friend, Ginelle (A music enthused journalist.) went to the beach to spend the day. We headed over to the Standard hotel in Miami to attend a fabulous beach party. Good music, drinks, and food all while chillin with the partner in crime makes for a perfect sunday.
I've been MIA for far too long, but the past few months I've been doing some traveling! I went to Chicago and New york and I have so many new pics to share with all of you. Lots of new stuff coming to the blog... I thought about starting a new blog, but Skinny Intern is just too good to give up. Love you guys! leave me some comments.
Also if any of you think that you have what it takes to be a model and you live in the south florida area, you should check out the MC2 Model Management model search next weekend. April 16th and 17th!!

Six years ago, we decided to try our hand at making our own laundry detergent. It started as an experiment in saving some money, but then something happened – we never stopped. It's cost effective and we like that this mixture leaves our clothes clean without the heavy scent of 'mountains' or 'fields of flowers,' but most importantly, it works! The lack of perfumes and dyes is friendly for the allergy prone (aka, us and every single animal that lives in this house!), and we've used it in both a standard washer and, most recently, our H/E machine, too.
There are just 3 ingredients to the recipe – borax, washing soda and a bar of Fels Naptha soap – and all of these items can usually be found in the grocery store, in the same aisle where you'd buy the big name detergent brands (often times, you'll find them tucked on the lowest shelf). The longest part of the process has always been grating the bar of soap to make the dry mix, but many of you recommended the microwave method, claiming that it saves your arms a workout. (I'll take that!) A few months ago, I tried this new-to-me method for the first time and shared the process in an Instagram Story, and we received so many questions, I thought I'd share over here just how easy it is to replicate.
I always make a double batch at once, but whether you're making two batches or five, the math is simple: 1 bar of Fels Naptha + 1 cup borax + 1 cup washing soda = DIY laundry detergent. In the past, I used a cheese grater to whittle down my soap, but the microwave method nixes that step altogether!
Cut up the bars into thirds or fourths, and put them on a microwave safe plate. Microwave for 2-3 minutes, and allow them to cool for up to one hour in the microwave. It's so important to leave them be, because not only will the soap be extremely hot, but the strong smell of Fels Naptha will dissipate the longer it's left untouched.
In the meantime, mix equal parts borax and washing soda in a large bowl. If you used a single bar of soap, you'll use 1 cup of each. If you used two bars of soap, you'll use 2 cups of each – and so on.
Our double batch fits perfectly in one of these glass jars (we use these jars for everything from stashing coffee to cat food!), and we keep this 2 tablespoon scoop inside.
Only 1 tablespoon is needed for a regular load, but toss in a small amount more for larger loads. We currently have a H/E washing machine, and we've had great success putting the soap mix right into the detergent tray, although others swear by adding the detergent right into the drum along with the clothes. Tip: Resist the urge to use more than you need, as too much can dull your clothes!
Since completing the laundry room renovation, we also keep a wedge of Fels out by the sink. It has been an absolute miracle as a stain pre-treater; simply run it under water and rub it into anything stubborn. Before washing any of our dog bed covers, I'll take a moment to pre-treat the worn down areas, and they always come out of the wash looking great.
Some of our readers have swapped in Kirk's Castile, Zote or Ivory in place of the Fels Naptha, and we've even heard of using OxiClean as an additional whitening boost! For anyone who may be having trouble finding the ingredients at your local grocer, you can get a starter pack right here. One box of both borax and washing soda will yield you many, many batches of detergent (we only buy these two ingredients maybe once a year), so we're always sure to stock up on bars of the Fels Naptha soap.
I should have proofread my comment. *too mountain fresh *and pulsing.
I used to make my own laundry detergent… for a year or two. But then my sister sent me this and I ended up switching to a plant based laundry detergent from Young Living.
We use maybe a half cup (or whatever the 'max' line is), and we pour it right into the bleach tray. People use it as a softener, although we've always thought that it helps to brighten white!

A deep-forest experience without the drive. Whipple Creek Park is a 300-acre green oasis in the midst of farmlands to the west of the Clark County Fairgrounds. This hike loops through colossal Douglas fir trees and waist-high sword ferns to provide a primordial experience where you are dwarfed by nature. There is a small meadow for a picnic and the remnants of a grist mill to explore. This hike is a great way to escape urban life and be immersed in a peaceful forest environment.
Whipple Creek Park has over four miles of mixed-use trails. This hike combines the South Ridge and Grist Mill Loops to provide variety and capture the highlights of the park. The park is heavily forested with a labyrinth of trails, both marked and unmarked. To avoid getting turned around, download a copy of the park map from the Vancouver Clark Parks & Recreation website and take a copy of this guide with you.
The trailhead is on NW 31st Avenue. Park at the paved area near a raspberry field, and then walk down the road 200 yards to the trailhead marker and a white gate. Go around the gate and continue down the road to where the trail takes off to the left into woods with grand fir, cedar, big-leaf maple and Douglas fir.
Just after starting downhill on the trail, you will come to a junction. Stay to the right and continue downhill. At the bottom of the hill, you will come to a junction with a bridge off to the right. Go right, cross the bridge, and go uphill to the junction with the South Ridge Loop.
At the junction, go right and continue your trek uphill. Shortly after reaching the top, you will be rewarded by a pretty little meadow with a picnic table. After enjoying the meadow, follow the trail to reenter the woods. You will soon come to a junction with the trail on the left heading uphill. Take the trail to the right and start downhill. The woods open up here, providing nice views to the right.
When you come to the next junction, go to the right and in 30 yards go to the right again to connect with the Grist Mill Loop. Follow the trail downhill to Whipple Creek. When you get to the bottom of the hill, go left and cross the creek. The stone remains of the grist mill will be on your left.
After checking out the grist mill, start uphill. When you come to an unmarked trail off to the right, stay left and continue on the main trail. The trail passes through woods with alder trees, and then turns to the left to parallel a barbed wire fence with farmland to the right.
You will come to a junction in about 60 yards after reentering the woods. Go to the left. At the next junction, go right and in about 20 yards go right again to rejoin the South Ridge Loop.
Go uphill until you come to a junction. Take the trail to the left to stay on the South Ridge Loop. At the next junction, take the trail to the right and follow it until it intersects the trail you came in on. Turn right, cross the bridge, and turn left at the trail junction. Go up a short heart-thumping hill. When you get to the junction at the top, go left to return to your car.
NOTE: This is a deep-woods experience where the trails can be muddy. Wear shoes you don't mind getting dirty, pack some precautionary insect repellent, and bring your childhood sense of adventure.
Vancouver-Clark County Parks
Vancouver-Clark Parks & Recreation Whipple Creek Park Trail (online)
Whipple Creek Park is in Ridgefield, WA just west of the Clark County Fairgrounds and north of Vancouver. From downtown Vancouver take I-5 North to exit 9 and follow 179th Street west for about 2 miles. Turn left (south) on NW 31st Avenue. Go about 0.2 miles to a paved parking area.
(Note: there are three other places you can access the park including the large parking area of of NW 21st Ave. on the north end of the park), where there is parking for about 40 cars, but be mindful that horse trailers can park here, which could quickly diminish available parking.

Q: Given two different classes which refer a common class(Test.java) in their definition, How many times ClassLoader#loadClass(Test) gets called? Given two different classes which refer a common class(Test.java) in their definitions,
How many times ClassLoader#loadClass(Test) gets called?
ClassA    {
Test t = new Test();
}

ClassB    {
Test t = new Test();
}

I want to understand if a classloader has already loaded class(Test), and in another class(ClassB) same class is referred,
does the jvm call ClassLoader#loadClass(Test) again or not? if not, how does it check if class is already loaded by same classloader?

The Sermon for Sunday, January 22nd, 2023, the Third Sunday after Epiphany
The Lessons: Psalm 139:1-18; Amos 3:1-11; Matthew 4:12-22
The Text: Amos 3:1-11
The Topic: The prophetic call to treat people justly
The prophet Amos, though he lived in the village of Tekoa in the southern kingdom of Judah in the eighth century B.C., directed his prophetic messages to the northern kingdom of Israel, warning them of the Fall of Samaria (722 B.C.) on account of the injustices practiced by its people. Amos was primarily a sheep farmer, cattle farmer and a grower of sycamore figs, but God called him to prophesy to the northern kingdom of Israel (otherwise known as Ephraim). The physical location of Amos's home may have affected his ministry as a prophet. Though Tekoa was more than 2,700 feet above sea level, the wilderness of Tekoa descended about 4,000 feet to the east into the Dead Sea valley. His proximity to the lonely desert emphasized the narrow border between life and death, and the power of God who has ultimate control over life.
The historical period in which Amos prophesied is given the framework of the reigns of two kings: Uzziah, king of Judah (783-742 B.C.) and Jeroboam II, king of Israel (786-746 B.C.). Although this period showed peace among nations and prosperity, the inner life of Israel was characterized by injustice, and it is this against which God's word is directed.
Samaria, the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel, had been built by King Omri and King Ahab in the ninth century B.C. The city was situated on a hill 300 feet above its surrounding plain, which was encircled by hills. Enclosing the city were fortified walls, within which the magnificent palaces of these two kings had been built.[1] The rulers and people of Samaria trusted in these fortifications and the wealth and military might of their kingdom to keep them safe from the attacks of the enemy, but their way of life was hateful to God.
AMOS 3:1-11: CAUSE AND EFFECT IN PROPHECY AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GOD AND MAN
The Lord begins the prophetic oracle against the whole nation of Israel that he brought up from the land of Egypt by declaring that Israel is the only nation of all the families of the earth that he has known; therefore he will punish them for all their sins (Amos 3:2). This means that of all the peoples of the earth, God has known only Israel, that is, made a covenant with them, and entered a unique relationship with them. On the basis of the terms of that covenant, then, he will punish them for all their sins. The covenant God had made with Israel clearly stipulated curses and punishments for Israel if it disobeyed God and did not keep the terms of the Covenant (Deuteronomy 27, for example). Not only in the Old Covenant, but also in the New, and in ancient treaties between an overlord and his vassals, disobedience to a covenant is the cause of retribution.
After the Lord's initial declaration of why he will punish Israel for their sins, a series of questions follow, to which the modern reader might well reply, "These are all self-evident." What we must understand, though, is that these truths of cause and effect apply to man's relationship to God and God's relationship to man as well. The first question, "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" (Amos 3:3, KJV) speaks to the covenant relationship between Israel and the Lord. A covenant is a kind of formal agreement. But in the next few questions, the topic is predators and traps. A lion in the forest will not roar unless he has prey, nor will a young lion cry from his den if he has not caught anything (Amos 3:4). A bird will not fall in a snare when none has been set for him, and no-one will take up a snare from the ground if he has caught nothing in it at all (Amos 3:5). The questions show the pattern of cause and effect in the ordinary life of animals, birds, and human beings. The listener and the reader are meant to apply this relation of cause and effect to their relationship with God and with their neighbor, bearing in mind they are like animals or birds caught in a trap, if they purposely rebel against doing God's will. In the Book of Ecclesiastes we are also warned of this:
For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
(Ecclesiastes 9:12, KJV)
In Amos 3:6, the question is whether a trumpet that is blown in the city will not cause the people to be afraid. The trumpet (shofar) would be blown to warn the inhabitants of a city that it was to be attacked by an enemy and they must prepare to defend it. Naturally, they would be afraid at the sound of the trumpet. The second question is about evil in a city, and whether the Lord is not responsible for it. This evil does not refer to sin, but to evil coming upon a city that the Lord has brought upon it. This speaks to a tendency we find today. Plagues, pestilences, floods, and wildfires have natural causes that can be explained in scientific terms. But on another level at times God can bring these things to pass as punishments for sin.
Though God is the ultimate cause of judgments in this world, including the destruction of some nations and empires to establish others, he does nothing, Amos 3:7 assures us, without first revealing his secret to his servants the prophets. Just as there is a causal relationship between disobedience to the covenant and retribution, so there is a causal relationship between God's speaking of his word and prophets' prophesying (Amos 3:8). Also, just as the lion roars, and everyone is afraid, so when the Lord God has spoken, his prophets must prophesy. The cause of genuine prophecy is God's inspiration of his prophets, giving them the messages they must speak, not prophets themselves dreaming up from their own imaginations things that they pass off as the word of God.
In the last section (vv.9-11) of Amos 3:1-11, God calls on Israel's neighbors, the palaces of Ashdod (representing the Philistines and their rulers) and the palaces of Egypt to gather on the mountains of Samaria to witness both the tumults and the oppressed in Samaria. In verse 10 we encounter the final indictment, that the rulers of Samaria do not know how to do what is right since they "store up violence and robbery in their palaces" (Amos 3;10b, KJV). The upper class, living in palaces, were oppressing the poor, stealing from them and doing violent acts against them.
God's judgment on the sin of the Samaritan upper class would be an enemy round about their land, who would weaken them and loot their palaces (Amos 3:11). This judgment was fulfilled when Assyria (under King Shalmaneser) besieged Samaria for three years, captured it, and deported the Israelites to Assyria, replacing them with citizens of Babylon and other cities of Mesopotamia (2 Kings 17:24).
What does this passage teach us today? All people have free will, God's faithful people included, but God holds all accountable for their actions. Just as many ancient Israelites relied on their election as God's people, and thought they could behave as sinfully as they pleased, but God would still be pleased with them, so there are those today who bear the name of Christian while they live their lives in conflict with the will of God and the mind of Christ. Just as the northern kingdom of Israel faced downfall because of its unjust treatment of the poor in its midst, so God today will not forever prevent from falling those, whether nations or individuals, who treat others unjustly.
The fact that we are in the New Covenant sealed by Christ's blood means that because we have been saved by grace, our duty is to love God with our whole being and our neighbor as we love ourselves, making sure we treat others rightly and justly.

Between an exhibition in Dubai and one in her adopted city, New York-based Moroccan artist Meriem Bennani took some time to talk about her work, the women that are portrayed in it and what it means to be an Arab artist in a Western country.
InterviewNatacha Lecsei
PhotographyYael Malka
NAAR: Hello Meriem, how are you? I believe you've had a lot of work recently, on several exhibitions?
Meriem Bennani: Hi!! It's been a busy year for sure, I'm very happy and to be honest I am kind of ready for a short break, just to recharge and make sure I have the time to be bored and explore new ideas outside of the path of thoughts and interests I have set for myself. I want to learn new things and think about new things.
NAAR: You grew up in Rabat and studied in Paris and New York. What made you stay in New York afterwards?
MB: Paris is where I naturally went after going to French school in Rabat, but New York was never supposed to happen. I loved it so much after a visit and an exchange semester there that I decided to stay. It was the first place I would live that was fully a decision and not just where I was set to go. I can't explain why I love New York without sounding obvious, I just find it extremely exciting for artists. It's a tough place to be and people are a little too carrier oriented but it's never boring or static, which I love.
NAAR: Let's talk about your project Fardaous Funjab, that had quite a success. It is a reality TV parody in which we follow Fardaous, a fashion designer who invented the Funjab. Fardaous says she noticed that more and more Moroccan women were wearing the hijab, like some sort of fashion trend. She draws a parallel between the influence of Egyptian movies in the 60s and the more recent influence of Gulf States channels on the way Moroccan women dress. Isn't the Funjab a bit of a collission between religion and pop culture ?
MB: It could be.. I think religion is omnipresent in pop culture and culture in general, so in a way I am just using the oldest collision in the world. I always say that Fardaous is not about religion, because I don't want to and am not qualified to talk about religion. In many ways the central subjects in the Fardaous Reality TV show are contemporary entertainment methods and certain aspects of moroccan society that I grew up in. In other words, there is a class and social satire, but no mention is ever made of religion. I did notice indeed that the Hijab had been extremely popular in Morocco in the next decade or so, although I don't think people's faith has deepened. It's a visual change in the practice of islam that I noticed.
NAAR: Fardaous designs very convenient Funjabs for all circumstances and for all tastes. However, the headscarf is also one of the expressions of a broader order for women to hide their bodies. While Fardaous Funjab can be seen as a criticism of the hijab, I have the feeling that your speech is more one of acceptance. Am I right ? If so, why do you make that choice?
MB: Yes. I am completely opposed to criticizing the hijab, because I simply think that there is no such thing as the hijab. Each women wearing a hijab has different reasons behind it, and I think that being against the veil is a lack of tolerance. I obviously don't support the endless amount of pervs roaming the streets of my beloved country who think that women bodies are only off limit if covered in fabric (by don't support, I mean that if I had a remote that could send them to space, I would probably hit that button..). I just think that constantly talking about muslim women as victims is limiting, insulting and wrong. Fardaous is a badass business woman, that's a very important aspect of her character, but talking about the religious implications of her practice always wins.
Fardaous is a badass business woman [..] but talking about the religious implications of her practice always wins.
NAAR: Still, on Moroccan beaches, you can see young girls bathing with their clothes on while young boys walk bare-chested. And the fact that women are less free than men in public spaces is intensified. Is there a feminist ambition in your art? What form does it take?
MB: The real problem is not how people dress, it's about education, women's right and equality. Clothes are the most visible symptoms of these issues. Countries like France are obsessed with the fabric aspect, maybe because it never fails to deliver sensational visuals to talk about Maghrebi women in France and North Africa. There is a feminist ambition but not in any way that structures the work explicitly. It's embedded in it, because of who I instinctively chose to give visibility to. For example, I think a lot about what it's like to be a single moroccan woman living in her 50's. That's an age and marital status combination we don't get enough of on TV in general. I know a lot of women in my family in that situation and I always wonder: is it hard to meet guys ? To go on dates? To have casual sex and also fall in love ? Is there less social pressure because they are older and have been married? What if they were never married.. does that mean some of them might still be virgins? I would love to see a movie about a moroccan woman in her 50's and her love life. I also think that the women I chose to film have a type of femininity that is so over the top it feels like another gender, extremely queer. So there is a general exploration of gender and sexuality, not just feminism.
NAAR: You had a show in Dubai recently, which was commissioned by Art Dubai 2017, a contemporary art fair. Was there a specific theme? Did you have any restrictions, and if so, how did you deal with them?
MB: There wasn't a set theme, but a specific location I had to work with. It was outdoors on this artificial island in this area of the Jumeirah hotel that feels like a Disneyland version of Marrakech. It was very fun for me to work outdoors because it forced me to find a solution for showing videos in full daylight. I made these sculptures that are viewing stations for videos. Actually, the videos inside were portrait of 4 women in my family talking about love.
NAAR: What does it mean for you to be a contemporary artist in Arab countries?
It means that you will constantly be asked about what it means, haha. Well, I am more like an Arab artist in a non-Arab country. It means nothing and everything, depending on your tolerance to categorization. If I wanted to be negative, I'd say it means that you are somehow locked into the position of constantly working within a market that has been built around western expectations. It also simply means that you are Arab and lucky to have grown within an endlessly rich culture with an amazing sense of humor!
NAAR: We can see some women of your family in some of your work. For example, in Fardaous Funjab or Ghariba, which a modern reality TV about the daily life of 4 Moroccan women. How do you make them feel at ease? How do they react to the pieces of art they appear in?
MB: I don't know if I make them feel at ease, haha! Most of them are very close to me and used to me filming them. I feel like because they've seen my work and the special effects in my video, they always except the worse, and joke about it in anticipation, but they don't really care. Honestly, when I showed Ghariba to the women who are in it, the special effects made them laugh, in a good way. What actually made them emotional is looking at themselves talking about feelings. I only included what they were comfortable sharing, of course. I feel like it made us closer, because we spent a few hours talking about love, which doesn't naturally happen with most family members.
We spent a few hours talking about love, which doesn't naturally happen with most family members.
NAAR: Among your video projects, there are music video hijacks, for example a very covered Wicked Games (Chris Isaak) and a Drunk in Love Basketball. In addition to the humor, I thought it was interesting to see what you did with those 2 music videos. The revisited Wicked Games made me think quite directly about extremely covered women bodies in some Muslim countries, but also about how women are still depicted in Western countries : half-naked, in sensual poses and who only have their attractiveness to offer. Same thing to me with Drunk in Love, I thought it was quite unnerving to see Beyoncé dancing in a very sexy fashion, and then you see a laid back Jay-Z who isn't even asked to look at the camera. Are those, two things you wanted to put into perspective?
MB: To be honest, there wasn't necessarily a comment on Hip-Hop culture and feminism in my Beyonce Basketball video, although I think that's an important subject. It was a very silly idea of hijacking the video of a pop star that is so obsessed with being perfect. The Wicked Games video is different. I don't think I would make this video again today, it's visually efficient but a little gimmicky and .. I don't know. I had just seen this couple on the beach on a very hot day, walking hand in hand, and the woman was wearing a Niqab (very different from a hijab), while the man was in a bathing suit. That's where the idea came from.
Aita is Moroccan literature, poetry, history and activism circulating through the bodies of the Chikates, these women who get so much shit for belonging to nightlife.
NAAR: Can you tell us a bit about your new projects on the Chikhat in Morocco? You recently exhibited Siham & Hafida at The Kitchen in New York. For you, what do they evoke?
MB: The Chikha is the female vocalist who sings Aita music. There are a lot of negative and objectifying misconceptions around the Chikha figure in popular culture. What I learnt when I researched the genre a little bit was that Aita is a repertoire of songs written "a long time ago". This meant that the lyrics were a precious archive of darija evolution (Moroccan dialect, therefore never really written ) and Moroccan history. Aita is Moroccan literature, poetry, history and activism circulating through the bodies of the Chikates, these women who get so much shit for belonging to nightlife.
NAAR: In an interview for The Fader, you say that people like Siham and Hafida don't think Chikha Tsunami is a real chikha. But can't she also be seen as some kind of updating for the Chikha tradition? The Chikhat have always been rebels. In a very different way, aren't the Chikhat like Chikha Tsunami leading a kind of rebellion in defending the right to have control over their own bodies?
MB: I think that what Siham and Hafida mean is that Tsunami is more of a dancer / entertainer, than a vocalist. They talk about how she hasn't gone through a proper training. Aita is like Jazz, it's very complex and you have to learn to count specific measures that change multiple times within one song, etc.. They are also understandably spiteful because Tsunami is balling, playing every VIP party and wedding in Casablanca while they are completely forgotten by the ministry of culture, although they preserve a very important moroccan art. There are a couple Aita festivals, but that's it.
NAAR: How does the art world that surrounds you perceive your projects? Do you feel that people are sensitive to the different issues that you raise (for example the place of women in societies, or the acceptance of Muslims in Western countries)? Or do they mainly take the « exotic » and ironic angle of your creation?
MB: Most of my feedback comes from America, since I live and work here most of the time. My friend and excellent curator !) Martha Kirszenbaum said something one day that I think answers your question. She talked about how people are so politically correct here that they are often scared to ask some questions or talk about some aspects of the work because it's foreign, which limits the potential for productive and challenging conversations. So it's almost like the opposite of being exoticized, it's the fear of it, which ironically creates a distance that is very similar to the avoided reaction.

Objectively, the past few months have been extremely costly for Marco Rubio's reputation.
He now has a record of directly and repeatedly lying to major Talk Show hosts about the contents of the Amnesty/Immigration Acceleration Bill, along the way turning in such shockingly weak performances from a narrowly technical point of view that professional observers began to question his intellectual capability and sagacity. Also of telling Spanish speakers a different story from the dumb Anglos. And of course there is the matter of his total betrayal of his supporters.


Well, in the past few months it has been quite a special time for us Clutch fans with news and tracks galore appearing on the net!
Firstly we have new artist Jordyn Taylor's "Won't Play Nice" which unfortunately, is far from a Clutch banger. Looking at her myspace page you will see that her looks far outshine her vocal talents. (or lack of) I don't think its completely their fault as Jordyn's voice is awful, really, even studio effects can't save it as they can on Britney's and the like and her spoken parts make it even more unbearable. The production sounds cheap as hell, the synthesised strings and the awfully thin drum line are really the only effects used at all on this Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" rip off gone wrong. The lyrics are rather generic as well, with particularly cringeworthy ones being "she likes your car, you're such a star, y'all at my nerves" and "quit callin' me ten times a day like ch-ch-chirp" which is not the norm from The Clutch who normally come up with the most dynamic and quirky lyrics. The arrangements, which are usually a massive strong point on Clutch tracks are also virtually non-existent. My only justification is that they thought it would be wrong to give such a no-talent like Jordyn a decent Clutch track as this is categorically one of the first and only disapponting Clutch joints! Her currently untitled debut album has yet to recieve a release date from Myspace/Interscope but is also set to feature production contributions from Timbaland associate Ryan Tedder, Darkchild, Madd Scientist and Mysto & Pizzi and writing from the talented Writing Camp & Frankie Storm.
Jordyn Taylor "Won't Play Nice"
Both Bayje and Money have tentatively titled their Clutch-assisted projects via MySpace recently, although neither currently have a release date. Money's project Unlady Like looks to be falling into some kind of trouble as we expected with Blackground, although after a long delay she performed "Fantasy" and introduced her debut single "Future" yesterday. Let's hope this talented girl who Candice writes fire for will get a release as her track snippets were dope! Bayje's Curious is looking more positive as she recently finished filming a video for the single "Find a Way" and is currently on a college tour. Not exactly the promotion I expected for a big record company like Atlantic, but at least they've got things cracking in some way. As you should have heard by now two of Bayje's banging tracks have been leaked with The Clutch "Jealous Of Your Whip" and "Problem", if you haven't, check them out at her myspace. Currently, no Clutch/Money collabos have leaked.
Bayje "Jealous Of Your Whip"
The Clutch have additionally been working on the forthcoming projects from Brandy, Keri Hilson, Chris Cornell, The Pussycat Dolls, Cassie, Menudo and Ciara and a mysterious new group The Goods have popped up on MySpace whose top friends are all the Clutch members and record label is Clutch Entertainment so more info on these guys as we get it!
The Jordyn Taylor track is terrible. Sounds like gar-bage' urban/pop from the late 90's. The chick is not even that great looking. Her vocals aren't THAT (well...) bad, but every bit of everything on her myspace (specially her music) comes of as cheap, cheap, cheap.Do I smell fu*king for tracks???
I don't like "No Brainer". That's about all I can say. The lyrics and arrangement are nice, but that's all I can say. it's not bad, I just don't feel it at all. Tad bit wimpy, if I do say so myself.
"Jealous Of Your Whip" is okay. I think it would sound better if someone with more swagger and a bigger and less nasally voice sang it. I like "Problem". It's a solid r'n'b track. But Bayje's voice gets on my nerves. The lyrics on both are fine, but no line in any of the songs made me stop and rewind to think or chuckle (like other Clutch tracks have made me).
One Chance - No Brainer... hot track!

There are no hard-gainers. There are only the under-eaters. If you want to see yourself grow, the most important thing to do is to EAT! Learn how to eat solid food and learn how to eat it very often. Only going to the gym and doing bro-splits wouldn't help. Get you training structured and follow these eating tips.
Most people make this mistake of eating the same foods which they were eating in cutting (losing fat) and maintenance (staying at same weight) phase. This is not actually a problem per se, as you can always increase the quantity of same foods in bulking. However, your stomach has only limited capacity to fill itself with food and you are better off filling it with foods that provide higher nutritional value or calories.
For example- Replacing 100gm of chicken breast (commonly eaten during cutting) with 100gm of whole chicken/thighs will give you more calories as it has good fats along with almost same amount of protein. Other examples are - replacing low fat milk with high one, adding virgin olive oil and chia seeds to salads.
If not eating high calorie/eating enough is a problem, then we have other category of people who will simply stuff their face with anything they see in the name of bulking. Remember guys, a calculated approach with eating good foods is required in bulking. This HARDLY should include fries, burgers or regular trips to Mc Donald's. For so many people, bulking becomes an excuse to let loose on all the foods which they already know are bad for them.
I assume most of you reading this article are naturals (not using steroids). As a natural, you need to understand that you will lose some of your 'aesthetics'. Come to terms with the fact that you midsection will get soft for the time you feed to grow. Little bit of fat gain on belly area during bulking is almost inevitable if you are doing it naturally. So don't stop eating is a steady surplus if you lose definition around the abs.
Best magic supplement for muscle gain, best protein powder with 0 carb, how to train upper chest, how to train lower abs and what not; these are just frills. Guys, these things hardly ever matter. Listen. It won't make any difference if your protein powder has 0gm or 4gm carbs, unless you are competing and please leave the muscle anatomy of upper chest or lower abs for advanced bodybuilders. You have limited energy and time, invest it where it matters the most- heavy compound lifts and eating right.
