Stop Campus Carry
Concealed carry does not transform ordinary citizens into superheroes.
These senators are the ones to vote against. They have been most activist in forcing guns onto campuses. In 2012, they voted to force Kansas college campuses to accommodate concealed carry. They sponsored the bill to get rid of licensing requirements and voted against exempting hospitals. They even voted to rescind universities' exemption in 2016 (instead of 2017).

South Africans are paying tribute to tech entrepreneur, Elon Musk, who has overtaken Amazon's Jeff Bezos as the world's richest person.
Musk, who was born and raised in Pretoria, is now worth more than US$188 billion, US$1.5 billion more than Bezos after shares in his Tesla Motors firm soared over the past week.
Tesla's value was boosted by the Democratic Party securing control of the US Senate, and it is expected to introduce tax credits for electric vehicles.
Musk moved to California in 1995 to study at Stanford University, but dropped out after two days to pursue a business career. He co-founded Zip2, a web software company, which was acquired by Compaq for US$307 million in 1999. Musk then founded X.com, an online bank. It merged with Confinity in 2000, which had launched PayPal the previous year and was subsequently bought by eBay for US$1.5 billion in 2002.
He then founded SpaceX, an aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company, of which he is CEO and lead designer. He joined Tesla in 2004, the year after it was founded, becoming its CEO in 2008.
Mmusi Maimane, the former leader of the official opposition Democratic Alliance, congratulated Musk and said he has some ideas "about how to fix the education sector in this country outside of the clutches of a corrupt government and I would love to present something to you".
Musk, who has 41 million Twitter followers, has received thousands of requests for donations and he recently tweeted that he might fund some social responsibility projects. "Critical feedback is always super appreciated, as well as ways to donate money that really make a difference (way harder than it seems)," he said.
He added that he has little time for recreation and does not own a holiday home or yacht.

We?ve all been there?a week until payday and just enough money to cover a few groceries. In these times of stress, it?s easy to gravitate toward a diet of junk food. It?s generally inexpensive and many find comfort in the foods that are worst for us. But, especially during the holidays, it is important to maintain some semblance of a healthy diet, no matter how strapped for cash you end up. Luckily, it is possible to eat well on a budget if you plan carefully.
First, it is important to be a careful shopper. Begin by making a weekly meal plan that utilizes one ingredient for multiple meals. If you roast a chicken as a main course one night, you?ll be able to use it for a delicious (and easy to freeze) soup the next. Planning your meals in this way prevents waste. You can also browse ads to find the lowest prices and sales, and use coupons. Be careful though?just because something is on sale doesn?t mean you need it.
Save eating out for special circumstances. Spend more money on good food, and skip the trips through the drive-through. Make the experience worth both your time and your money?if you can make it better at home, it isn?t worth paying restaurant prices for. This works for coffee runs too?a Starbucks mocha three times a week can really set you back! Set a dining out goal and stick to it.
Set a grocery budget every week, and make sure it is something you can actually abide by. Plan for eating out and buy less food, and you?ll waste less. Take those expenses out of your grocery budget but remember that you may be able to buy less of more expensive food, like meat. If you?re really trying to save, plan meals without meat a few times every week, but make sure you?re getting protein from other sources. Focus on planning balanced meals.
Lastly, find out what foods are in-season in your area and make your meal plans around them. Your foods will be healthier, better tasting, and cheaper. You can also feel good about spending your hard-earned money within your community. You?re supporting local agriculture!

Aiding the Second-largest international airport in North America
Avasant developed a digital business strategy for the second-largest international airport in North America to optimize its non-aeronautical core operations and processes.

Lend Service To World's Least Developed Countries in Africa
Avasant supported the government of one of the world's least-developed countries in Africa in developing a digital government strategy to facilitate and promote e-Governance through a structured approach and strengthen the ability to deliver digital public services.

It further resulted in bringing the best in class capabilities to create a reliable infrastructure aligned with compliance requirements.

CEO, Kevin S. Parikh says, "We expect our continued excellence to scale as we hire from the top of the market at the senior level while our mentorship initiatives shape associates at the junior level to grow into top consultants on the Avasant home field. Our service offerings will continue to diversify also as we grow according to market demand, such as with newly added AvaMark services, Enterprise Blockchain Strategy advisory services, RadarView Reports, as well as the addition of Social Impact Institutions as a new service area for us.

Hi, I'm David Hampton, the User Experience Designer at Digital First. You can call me 'Design Dave', as the team do for short.
I joined the team about a year ago. My brief was to build on and improve the online identity of Brighton & Hove City Council, with a focus on designing and documenting standards for re-usable design. We call these 'web patterns'.
Our overall goal is to provide Brighton & Hove residents with a consistent, friendly and familiar website, whether they need to find and read about a service, report a problem, or browse news.
Over the past year I've been working closely with Product Managers, Content Designers and web developers at Digital First, re-designing and launching website sections.
Improving website accessibility has played a key part. We're making sure our new design and code is in compliance with accessibility guidelines. This will help improve usability for residents who may access the website in non traditional ways, for example using screen readers.
I'm excited to share our Website Design Guidelines and Pattern Library. Here you can find references to all new designs and patterns created since January 2018.
At first the pattern library was used internally to communicate new design standards and patterns amongst the team. Today we're opening it to everyone. We hope this will be a useful resource across departments and teams for referencing new design, and offering solutions to reoccurring design challenges. It may even be useful for other councils and public sector organisations – we've built on the experience of others and are delighted to contribute for the greater good.
Our plan is to continually improve the library through ongoing testing and research with actual users. We'll be including version releases so we can track design progression.
Above: An example website pattern with usage notes.
Over the coming weeks I will be blogging in more detail about some of the new designs and pattern library features. If you have any questions, please post below or get in touch.

THE victim of what has been dubbed in the local media as "Jazan murder", Fatima Al-Malki, was actually killed by hate-mongers in our society with their unfair speech before her husband killed her with a sharp weapon.
Fatima died leaving behind three young girls and a boy. These children will grow up remembering the horror of their mother being murdered in front of their eyes. This will be a very painful memory that will haunt them all their life.
Fatima was murdered in cold blood and there are many other women like her who die in silence. How many other Fatimas will be killed in our society in this manner?
If we do not start acknowledging a crime by its names, then we will witness a more worrying transformation in the kind of crimes being committed in our society.
When we started describing the assaults happening inside homes as "domestic violence", we have seen how society used this phrase to cover up every crime that happened inside homes. We need to admit the fact that we, like humans all over the world, do not live in an ideal society.
Isn't it time for our country to declare a new charter that protects human rights in the family? Such a charter will make every person responsible and put him or her in charge of their own freedom and security. It will also punish anyone who tampers with the peace and security of any citizen.
A horrible crime like the murder of Fatima in Jazan shakes society and makes people defy governmental authority, which was supposed to protect them from criminals.
Let us go back to the crime scene and analyze the case. According to a report in alarabiya.net, the victim's brother had previous knowledge of the psychological condition her husband had been suffering from. He also knew about the financial condition of the family. The brother, who described the culprit as "psychologically ill", already cleared him of responsibility for what he did in such a mental state. Psychological illness has always been the ruse for anyone who commits a horrible crime such as murder. Here I want to ask what measures the health and security authorities have taken to identify the threats from such people to the public, especially family members, as well as to protect them against such threats.
Did the Fathima's brother come to the conclusion that her husband was "psychologically ill" based on a medical report? Or is it just his hunch or the result of his moral support for the man, who happens to be his cousin? Or is this a repetition of the unacceptable justifications prevalent in our society all the time?
Thankfully the brother volunteered to support the children of her sister financially. This opens a question on the role of the Interior Ministry in dealing with children of criminals and convicted prisoners. Who will take care of such children and who will make sure those who care for the children are fit to do so?
Back to the crime scene again, I would like to ask what was the weapon used to kill Fatima? I wonder what type of weapons people keep inside their homes and are they fit to own them?
In England, for example, a person is asked to produce his or her ID when they buy a knife or other weapons, and the purchase is registered with the product type and the details of the buyer in the records. Under no circumstances, sharp weapons are sold to people who are below 18 years of age.
Has the Ministry of Commerce conducted any joint study with the Interior Ministry to find out the consequences of selling sharp weapons freely in the local market?
As for the media, women issues are almost always discussed by men. Even academic studies on women's issues are led by male researchers.
The media describe a criminal driver on the street as reckless, while they curse women drivers who make mistakes as incompetent. It seems as if these people are united in against the country's vision for the future. They feel helpless in the face of a government that gives unlimited support to women, so they unleash their anger on everything that concern women's affairs. This is a clear evidence for such men losing their manhood. These men cannot stand women freely voicing their opinion about problems they face, but they will not mind discussing the details of a woman's looks, her eyebrows and the curves of her body in public.
At this stage, we need to be wary of groups that oppose women empowerment and judicial reforms because of ideological reasons. They are using women empowerment and judicial reforms to play with people's sentiments and to influence their way of thinking. Our media should pay attention and rectify messages sent out to society in general and women in particular.
The monitoring authorities that are delaying the decision to ban the publication of any material that undermine women's interests must review their stand. Some media channels do not want to celebrate women's achievements and instead they mobilize all their resources to undermine them for reasons we do not know.
May Allah rest the soul of Fatima in peace and help her children. May Allah help every woman who is suffering from bad treatment and live under pressure, fearing what society might think and say about her.
Despite the strong societal connection, such cases, if not dealt with properly at the right time, will lead to criminal and security issues that will be difficult to deal with later.

Forward/Backward ?
April 30, 2019 by Gilad Atzmon
Introduction by GA: Forward's Editor Jane Eisner is frustrated. She believes that the US and its Constitution have betrayed the Jews. In the following article Eve Mykytyn suggests that Mrs. Eisner doesn't grasp the constitution and is pretty removed from the American ethos.
By Eve Mykytyn
Jane Eisner wrote an editorial in The Forward on Sunday entitled, "Spare Me your Thoughts and Prayers. The US Has Betrayed Its Jews." Her thesis is that by abiding by a "perverted, outdated, self-serving view" of the constitution, the government has failed in its "oblig[ation] to ensure that citizens have the freedom to live lives of dignity, equality and security."
Specifically she blames the Second Amendment right to bear arms which she claims "was not meant to turn America into a killing field," and the freedom of speech clause of the First Amendment which she opines, "was not meant to allow a few powerful, private corporations to ignore their civic responsibilities to prevent incitement and promote social harmony."
Ms Eisner dismissively allows that "scholars" have noted that the Constitution was drafted to define rights as "negative rights." She bemoans the lack of emphasis on "positive rights," that would make it the duty of the "government to ensure that citizens have the freedom to live lives of dignity, equality and security."
Perhaps Ms Eisner has failed to read the Constitution which sets forth the various powers of the federal government and then in its amendments makes clear its intent that the government interfere with its citizens to the least extent possible. The Ninth and Tenth Amendments specifically grant nonenumerated rights and powers to the States or the people. Importantly, even the 14th Amendment which has expanded certain rights of citizens is phrased in the negative. "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens… ; nor …deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person … the equal protection of the laws."
Nowhere is there a positive obligation placed on the government to ensure that its citizens "live lives of dignity, equality and security." Instead the constitution prescribes equality under the law and protection from government interference. Understanding this makes axiomatic the right to own a gun or to allow speech that Ms Eisner does not like.
Yet, Eisner claims the federal government has totally failed in its "central" job to "protect its people." From what constitutional or other law does Eisner derive this "central job?" Would a government attempt to prevent attacks on what Eisner calls "vulnerable minorities (her list - Jews, African Americans or Muslims or gays and lesbians or random children in a school.) by eliminating guns and free speech deprive all of us of liberties?
The United States has existed for 240 years with our constitution and its particular blend of rights and obligations. Ms Eisner apparently seeks to add additional restrictions in order to ensure the safety of the Jews. This is a dangerous route. The framers (of the Constitution and its Amendments) were wise enough to understand that positive obligations placed on the government must be balanced by the burdens they place on individual freedom. If we were to enact some version of Eisner's 'dignity and security' we would be inviting the government to control more aspects of our lives.
Neither private citizens nor corporations are obliged to let everyone speak nor to police other's speech. And fortunately, there is no exception to free speech that requires media to "prevent incitement and promote social harmony" even if one could somehow determine precisely what speech that would prohibit. Ms Eisner has it exactly wrong, free speech is most meaningful in allowing political criticism which indeed may not promote social harmony. See.
While some may plan nefarious deeds on Facebook, information can and is published in other ways. The shooter in Poway, John Ernest, posted his manifesto on pastebin. It is also possible that by allowing the type of speech that Ms Eisner does not like, anger may be defused. Christopher Poole, creator of 4chan, said he was often thanked for providing an outlet to vent frustrations.
Ms Eisner charges that "America has failed its Jews." Her solution is to change the constitution and limit freedom in ways that are foreign both to the intent and to the various interpretations of the constitution. Nor is it at all clear that suppressing speech and prohibiting guns (especially given the number of guns already owned) would end terrorist shootings.
Yosef Berger, the rabbi of King David's Tomb on Mount Zion, said that "[the shooting] is clearly Hashem telling the Jews to come home, to return to Jerusalem because "the sanctity of Israel can protect the Jews." Perhaps Rabbi Berger could explain why God does not protect the Jews wherever they are.

My battle for truth and freedom involves some expensive legal services. I hope that you will consider committing to a monthly donation in whatever amount you can give.

This is not a sponsored post. I discovered this dip at my local Costco and wanted to share it with you.
One day when I was trying to figure out what to make for supper I decided to put together the La Terra Fina dip we had in our fridge from Costco with the chicken I really should make and baked it. It was incredible! Before experimenting with it I had looked up other recipes online for baked chicken with a topping so once I noticed that the main ingredient in the dip was cream cheese I figured it had to work since I had baked other recipes with cream cheese and chicken before.
Since then we've tried it with at least three different dips (some multiple times) including 'Artichoke and Jalapeño', 'Spinach Artichoke, and Parmesan', and 'Fire Roasted Veggie Fiesta Dip'. Now when I go to Costco I make sure to go by the dips to see what flavors are available and in what sizes. Sometimes we get a large container (31 oz.) so when I make this recipe I only use half and make sure the spoon I use to top the chicken isn't contaminated and then if I need more dip after I spread it I then grab a new spoon for the dip container. Sometimes the dip comes in smaller two packs and then I load the entire container onto the chicken and have the second container for later.
This is a simple meal. I first cut the chicken breast in half horizontally so it covers my entire 9 by 13 inch casserole dish. I then add dollops of the dip onto the chicken, spread it out so it coats the entire top, and then throw it in a preheated oven set to 375ºF for about 30 minutes or until done. I normally serve this with rice that takes about an hour to cook so the main is much simpler than the side. If you want it even simpler you can serve it with easy frozen vegetables. A frequent side for us is corn on the cob since we were at Costco anyway for the dip.
I love how you can choose a pre-made dip that tells you how much spice you're going to get, has all the extra flavors figured out for you, and it becomes an amazing main dish.
We find our dip at our local Costco in the cooler area and have tried three kinds already.
Prepare the chicken, put in a casserole dish, and spread the dip on top.
Then bake at 375ºF for 30 minutes or until done.
The take it out when the chicken is done. Depending how long you cook it the top may start browning too.
I threw some leftover rice and carrots together to reheat, topped it with the chicken, and served some corn on the cob for an easy meal.
mmm… corn on the cob.
When we have leftovers I always cut up the chicken before putting it away in a container. One simple meal the next day is to reheat it in a pot with a bit of water to get a sauce and then serve it over a pasta… like ravioli. This is especially great as you can choose a pasta the kids love and they can choose how much or how little they want… perfect if you broke into a spicier than normal dip.
Reheated the leftover chicken and dip with a bit of water and used it as a sauce over Costco ravioli. Reheat some roasted vegetables and you're good to go!
Lately when I go to Costco I specifically get a La Terra Fina dip so I can make an easy baked chicken. One of the large containers (31 oz.) can make two separate batches of chicken, but depending on the flavor you can also find two packs so then I use one for a single batch of chicken and can save the unopened one for longer. This is especially good when served over rice with a side of roasted vegetables.
Cut chicken breasts in half, horizontally, and lay them out in your 9 by 13 inch casserole dish.
If you have a large (31 oz.) container of dip use half. Dish dollops out of the container and drop them onto the chicken to taste. Then spread it out.
Toss it into the preheated 375ºF oven to bake for 30 minutes or until done.
Sauce: Reheat cut up leftover chicken and dip in a pot with a bit of water. Serve as a sauce over pasta or ravioli.
Baked chicken over rice with a side of easy Costco edamame beans… so simple.
We chose a spicy dip that day as the kids prefer not to eat the chicken anyway. They had a small piece they ignored, the rest of the meal, cheese, and a frozen applesauce freezie for supper.

Revealing The Story of George Harrison's Mad Guitar
Finding Fretless: The Story of George Harrison's Mad Guitar is the title of a new volume by Paul Brett who lives in Westham village, near Pevensey Castle.
By Phil Hewitt
Paul Brett
It has been published by This Day In Music Books at £24.99, available at thisdayinmusicbooks.com.
Paul, aged 57, said: "To be honest, it was all completely unintentional and not planned in any way at all!
"My friend Ray Russell, he's a brilliant guitarist! Celebrating the birthday of his friend George Harrison, early in 2019 he posted an image of his rare fretless guitar on Facebook, with the question 'Does anyone know anything about Bartell Guitars?' The guitar was treasured by Ray for decades as part of his collection of instruments that he played as a prolific composer and professional guitarist.
"You will have heard Ray play on David Bowie's Space Oddity, Tina Turner's Private Dancer and numerous other tracks with artists as diverse as Freddie Mercury, Gil Evans and Andy Williams. He's also a prolific award-winning composer. He's spent decades composing TV sound-tracks, and performing with stars such as Van Morrison, Art Garfunkel, Dionne Warwick, Bryan Ferry, Jack Bruce, Cat Stevens, Phil Collins and Cliff Richard.
"I love music and I'm very passionate about guitars though I'm never going to claim to be anything other than an amateur guitarist. There was something about Ray's guitar that intrigued me. When I dived into the internet, it slowly started to reveal some very interesting clues and an increasingly incredible story. Ray, my family and friends started to suggest I write a book and amazingly here I am launching Finding Fretless: The Story of George Harrison's Mad Guitar.
"I suggested to Ray that we take his unique guitar along to the Antiques Roadshow that was being filmed at Battle Abbey in the summer of 2019. He was hesitant at first, but we thought it might be fun and I'd just found, after months of searching online, an image of George Harrison at his home in Henley with his collection of guitars. Incredibly there it was, right next to his left arm, Ray's fretless guitar!
"The BBC were astounded, and we both ended up on air as the highlight of the show when the expert, Jon Baddeley from Bonhams declared 'This is an incredibly rare Beatles guitar with an enviable history, which turns out to be one of the most valuable items ever seen … valued at £300,000-£400,000.' Later, I was invited back to reveal more of my research to Fiona Bruce on the Christmas edition of What Happened Next at Pinewood Studios.
"On the face of it, Finding Fretless would appear to be just another Beatles publication or guitar book. However there is a real story worth reading. Think of frying pans, fist fights, Beatles, Zappas, Warm Guns, Helter Skelters, murder cults, corporate shenanigans, million-dollar lawsuits, wreaking crews, black widows, Elvis and detectives!
"In the book I interview the descendants of the Bartell company presidents, surviving employees, plus, established authors, musicians and academics on both sides of the Atlantic.
"One big breakthrough was finally linking that prototype guitar to the very origins of the electric guitar. Its designer, Paul Barth also co-created the electric pick-up in the 1930s from which all electric guitars are based today!
"The book includes untold memories of some of the most influential creators in the development of the guitar, including Paul Barth, a forgotten founding father of the electric guitar who should stand proudly alongside his friends, Adolph Rickenbacker, Leo Fender, and Les Paul. In my opinion and of many that I have interviewed, the history books need updating to truly reflect the importance and influence Barth had on the most popular instrument of the 21st century.
"I even uncovered a treasure trove of Paul Barth's artefacts in a lock-up in Florida!
Incredibly, when I had nearly completed the book, I finally located Paul Barth's 85-year-old daughter Sharon in California and his family who were blissfully unaware of the story. His granddaughter wrote to me saying 'What a thrill that you got to give my family the gift of your book, and that we better understand now the greatness of our granddad.'
"The research was like binge watching a series on TV that you just can't turn off, each new reve-lation, new piece of the jigsaw, each twist and turn opened up new leads and unbelievable coincidences."

What can plaques be used for?
Employee recognition probably tops the list!
1. Improve productivity: Reward hard work or extra achievement with custom-engraved award plaques or sales awards. Why? With an established recognition program, your team will learn what's average and what's exceptional. Many employees will improve their quality of work as they strive to earn recognition.
2. Encourage teamwork: Along with individual employee awards, be sure to acknowledge the achievement of departments or teams with engraved plaques. If extra efforts are recognized in a group, team or departmental basis, your employees will be encouraged to assist their co-workers.
3. Spur friendly competition: Will the western region's team win the sales award this year, or will the southern region's group take it again? A corporate award plaque or recognition wall plaque may be just enough to prompt a boost in effort. Just be sure to establish the standards up front. Of course, you'll want to apply your recognition awards to individual workers, too.
4. Retain your best workers: Almost everyone likes to be lauded for their hard work, extra effort and singular successes. Engraved employee awards and corporate plaques are a great place to start. Your company will gain a greater chance of retaining your hardest working employees if they know their efforts are being valued.
There's no better way to express appreciation to a hard worker, deserving team or retiring employee than with a custom-engraved plaque. But why stop there? When mounted on a wall in a prominent place, you can also use them to underscore the importance of your company's mission statement or core values.
For expert help with custom-engraved plaques, rely on the pros at Signs Now®.
At Signs Now , you'll select from Custom-Engraved Signs, Plaques and Awards for any occasion.

As you look back on your movie and this book, it's very clear that through words and stories and cinema and book that you're trying to affect our imagination and the way we think about the Muslim world and how we should respond and think about terrorism. Talk a little about that. What do you hope to achieve in these works?
I think right now we're in a vacuum of political leadership and diplomatic leadership, and it falls on journalists in an odd way to do a more critical job of informing the public than we might otherwise be in. The imaginative, creative community, which has until recently not done a very good job of dealing with 9/11 and our response to it, but I think is beginning to -- it's more on the intellectual class and the creative class to address these problems because we have such a failure of leadership and of an understanding at that level.
I guess there's a sense of being drawn into the void, that I feel because I've been blessed with the background that I have that I've been called to duty, that I have to present myself in the service. We're in a really critical moment, Harry, and it's not going to be resolved anytime soon, it's going to last for a long time. We have made a ton of mistakes. So, right now I'm hoping to enlighten people a little bit about the nature of our adversaries and the kinds of things that we can do to lessen the strife. I always feel that things are dangerous when they become simple, when it's good-and-evil and us-versus-them and the West versus Islam. When these kinds of paradigms are thrown up things get very simple and they get very dangerous because they're polarizing. The role of an investigative reporter or of a movie maker, someone that takes these issues seriously, is to complicate issues. By complicating, you make things more human and therefore less dangerous.
If students or the general public were to watch this program, what would you tell them, especially the students, about what they should draw from the story and your career about how they should prepare for the future, where these conflicts with the Islamic world will be there? How should they think about that or think about preparing themselves to be ready to deal with it in some leadership capacity?
The first thing is to not be afraid to engage. It's the absence of engagement that has been such a liability for us. It's important that Americans get out in the world and experience the world and also present their own American perspective. People are hungry -- America represents something potent in the world. It's interesting: when 9/11 happened I felt, and I think many Americans felt, "Oh, we're going to have to stand for something now. Our parents have been tested, our grandparents, our forefathers, and it's our turn now." And in many ways that feeling has been lost, and yet that's really valuable, because we do have a great treasure that the world depends upon.
I was in Syria recently and a young Syrian filmmaker said to me, "What have you done with your country? I live in a police state but when I look at you now, I see us." Now that's a perception that we can't afford to have. We need to control our own society, we need to protect the things that are valuable and uniquely American, and we need to be able to provide a model for the world. We do have that duty, and it is our turn to protect it.
Students are going to be coming into their own in a period of real difficulty. It's not an easy time. Learning foreign languages is very important, and living abroad is extremely important, and also standing up for the things that you feel are vital to your society. Those kinds of things -- you are going to be tested. This is not a generation that's going to get away easily.
Larry, on that note I want to thank you very much for being our guest, and let me show your book again and suggest that everybody go out and buy it, The Looming Tower. Again, I want to thank you very much for joining us.
Harry, thank you. It's been a fun time. I enjoyed it.

Heien v. North Carolina
PETITIONER: Nicholas B. Heien
RESPONDENT: State of North Carolina
LOCATION: Interstate 77
DOCKET NO.: 13-604
DECIDED BY: Roberts Court (2010-2016)
LOWER COURT: North Carolina Supreme Court
CITATION: 574 US (2014)
GRANTED: Apr 21, 2014
ARGUED: Oct 06, 2014
DECIDED: Dec 15, 2014
ADVOCATES:

Rachel P. Kovner - on behalf of the united states as amicus curiae, supporting respondent
Robert C. Montgomery - for the respondent
On April 29, 2010, Sergeant Darisse of the Surry County Sheriff's Department observed Maynor Javier Vasquez driving north on I-77 with a broken brake light. When Darisse pulled over the vehicle, he noticed another man, Nicholas Heien, lying under a blanket in the backseat. Darisse spoke with the two men, felt that their stories did not match up, and was concerned that Heien had not gotten up from the back seat. Darisse asked for permission to search the vehicle. Heien agreed, and Darisse found a bag containing 54.2 grams of cocaine in the car.
A grand jury indicted Heien for two counts of trafficking cocaine. Heien filed a motion to suppress the evidence discovered during the search of his vehicle, and the trial court denied the motion. The North Carolina Court of Appeals reversed the trial court and held that the traffic stop was not objectively reasonable because North Carolina law only required one working brake light. The North Carolina Supreme Court reversed and held that when an officer's mistake of the law is reasonable, it may give rise to the "reasonable suspicion" required for a traffic stop of a vehicle under the Fourth Amendment. That North Carolina Supreme Court sent the case back to the state Court of Appeals.
The North Carolina Court of Appeals found no error in the trial court's judgment. A dissenting judge, however, stated that the North Carolina Supreme Court's ruling created "fundamental unfairness" because it held citizens to the traditional rule that "ignorance of the law is no excuse" while allowing police to be ignorant of the law. Based on this dissent, Heien again appealed to the North Carolina Supreme Court which rejected Heien's appeal.
Does a police officer's mistake of law provide the individualized reasonable suspicion that the Fourth Amendment requires to justify a traffic stop?

Audio Transcription for Opinion Announcement - December 15, 2014 in Heien v. North Carolina
John G. Roberts, Jr.:
I have the opinion for the court in case number 13-604 Heien v. North Carolina.
Early one morning Sergeant Matt Darisse of the Surry County Sheriff's Department sat in his patrol car near Dobson, North Carolina observing North bound traffic on I-77.
Shortly before 8 a.m., a Ford Escort passed by. Darisse thought the driver looked very stiff and nervous, so he pulled onto the interstate and began following the Escort.
A few miles down the road, the Escort braked as it approached a slower vehicle, but only the left brake light came on.
Noting the faulty right brake light, Darisse activated his vehicle's lights and pulled the Escort over.
There were two men in the car, and they acted suspiciously, for example - they gave inconsistent answers when asked where they were headed.
Sergeant Darisse eventually asked the owner of the car if he would consent to having it searched, and he agreed. Darisse found a sandwich bag of cocaine in the car.
In the trial court in which the owner of the car Heien argued that the search of the car violated the Fourth Amendment, he lost.
He appealed, and this is where it gets interesting.
The North Carolina Court of Appeals held that the police officer had no reasonable basis for stopping the car because under North Carolina law, cars only have to have one working brake light.
The state appealed to the North Carolina Supreme Court but the government did not argue that the law records leading of the brake light law was wrong.
Instead the state argued that even if the officer turned out to be wrong about the law, his mistake was a reasonable one and that was enough to satisfy the Fourth Amendment.
The North Carolina Supreme Court agreed and regranted Heien's petition for review.
We began our analysis with the words of the Fourth Amendment, "The right of the people to be secure in their person's, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated."
Now the key word is 'unreasonable.'
We have held before that searches based on a reasonable mistake of fact can be consistent with the Fourth Amendment.
For example; police can generally search a home without a warrant if a resident consents and such a search remains lawful when the officer obtains the consent of someone who reasonably appears to be but in fact is not a resident.
The limit is that as we put it in a 1949 case the mistakes must be those of reasonable men.
But reasonable men can make mistakes of law too and such mistakes are no less compatible with the concept of reasonable suspicion.
Reasonable suspicion arises from the combination of an officer's understanding of the facts and his understanding of the relevant law.
The officer maybe reasonably mistaken on either ground, whether the facts turn out to be not what was thought or the law turns out to be not what was thought the result is the same, the facts are outside the scope of the law.
There is no reason under the text of the Fourth Amendment or our precedence why this same result should be acceptable when reached by a reasonable mistake of fact but not when reached by a similarly reasonable mistake of law.
Support for that proposition in our cases goes back more than 200 years.
In 1809 the Supreme Court had before a case in which a customs official had misread the law in seizing merchandize from a ship.
The Court held that he could nevertheless not be held liable to the owner because the official's mistake of law was reasonable.
In his opinion for a unanimous court, Chief Justice Marshall wrote that "a doubt as to the true construction of the law is as reasonable a cause for seizure as a doubt respecting the fact so to here."
Contrary to the suggestion of Heien and amici our decision does not discourage officers from learning the law.
The Fourth Amendment tolerates only reasonable mistakes and those mistakes -- whether of fact or of law -- must be objectively reasonable.
We do not examine the subjective understanding of the particular officer involved.
An officer can gain no Fourth Amendment advantage through a sloppy study of the laws he is duty-bound to enforce.

Some interesting parallels between very different traditions
by RudraShiva on 01.12.09 7:46
As we all know, the Asetian vampire is quite different from all other vampires out there. They are "divine beings", created out of Aset´s essence. They are not humans with damaged chakras but a type of being that is beyond the human condition. They need "life force" in order to survive in this world because of their high developed "energy body".
Well, reading some "manuscripts" from the Order of Nine Angles, I found an interesting description of some "acausal beings" which will sound familiar to some of you:
"Associated with Baphomet are other dark, female acausal entities, some of whom have existed, hidden, on Earth for millennia, and who maintain their causal, ageless, and secret, existence by feeding off the acausal life-force of their male human victims whom they entrap, and test, using sexual enchantment, and which victims die after all their life-force has been sucked away. These other entities are The Dark Daughters of Baphomet, and they - like their Mistress, The Mother of Blood, Baphomet - are thus, in a quite literal sense, beautiful, cultured, alluring but predatory vampires, whose needed and necessary food is not blood, but rather that acausal energy that animates human beings and makes them alive.
These vampiric beings - shapeshifted into alluring female human form - can spawn (and according to legend have spawned) half-human offspring if they so desire and if they find a suitable human male, as they can also gift that male, or other chosen human males or females, with the gift of a much extended mortal life in the realms of the causal, and can provide such chosen ones with the opportunity to egress into the acausal and thus life as immortal acausal entities, there."
Of special interest, in my opinion, is the fact that these "vampires" are not humans with a damaged energy sistem or something like that, but "acausal beings", that is, "divine" and immortal, who are also beyond the human condition. Also the relationship of these vampires with a female entity, in this case, Baphomet, the Mistress of Blood and the fact that they can turn a mortal into an immortal, make me think on the Asetian culture. I do not claim, obviously, a direct relationship between both traditions, but, anyway, I think these are interesting parallels and some "food for thought".

Re: Some interesting parallels between very different traditions
Quite interesting detail, actually. I wasn't aware of it. Thanks a lot for bringing this up, I'm interesting in digging it deeper...
by ElizabethBathory on 03.12.09 2:26
That makes sense. I've always considered Elizabeth Bathory (symbolism? I swear I've heard Mistress of Blood and Elizabeth Bathory together somewhere) to be a sort of patron goddess to me. But the whole targeting of men specifically has always seemed like some sort of projection of a male fantasy.
ElizabethBathory
Interersting comparison RudraShiva. Is it worthy to note that you could "christianize" these acausal female entities and call them succubi or lilin? The half breed offspring could also be called a cambium. And feeding on acasual life force is too similar to some dark demoness feeding on a human soul. Many cultures and religions have some version of this powerful, dark female figure. This appears a retelling of a familiar theme
From a website discussing the ONA:
"One of the aims of the ONA is the presence The Dark Ones: to return, to our causal Space and our causal Time, The Dark Gods. To unleash these entities upon the world and so cause Chaos, and that Change and evolution which will result. Thus will the Old Order - a now ever-increasing tyrannical order - be destroyed, and thus would a New Aeon begin. Thus will there be a significant evolution of ourselves, as individuals."
Do you think unleashing old gods in our present space/time
is a wise thing to do?
Hi Phoenix.
Absolutely, the succubi/lilin are a very closed description of that "acausal beings". Keep in mind that the ONA uses a specific clasiffication, that of causal and acausal, but all the stuff they talk about have been out there for thousands of years. That is one of the reasons I made this post, to show that, beyond the myth, beyond the forms and symbols that are used, there is a concrete reality. Maybe we can better understand what the "Asetian being" is by studying other traditions and perspective.
To unleash the spiritual forces is always a process of change and evolution. "White light religions" has always "worked" with the "dayside" of reality, or the Sephiroth. These forces represent the "Archonic world", the creation, order and structure of reality, as we know it.
Still, spiritual ascension has ALWAYS been a process in which you go from the formed world to the formless reality. No matter if your path is "dark" or "white", you always go from a formed and concrete state, to a formless and, thus, limitless state. Form our point of view, that of humans and finite beings, such a process is, actually, disruptive, as it destroys the old forms to give space to new realities.
In Tantra, for example, a system that is not divided in such stupid realities as "qlippotic/dark side" and "sephirotic/light side", spiritual ascension is a process of "destruction". It is said that Shiva´s third eye will destroy the universe. Why do you think is that?
The ONA is very "tantric" in that it is not dualistic. They understand the acausal/spiritual forces as:
a) Amoral: Since they are beyond duality, they also are beyond good and evil.
b) The cause of evolution and change: Not working "on their side" is the same thing as not "flowing with the Cosmos". In order to bring evolution and change, those forces need to be contacted, assimilated by our individual consciousness and then unleashed into the world. As "they" are a-moral and beyond duality, their manifestation in our reality will come freely, without restrictions, pure change: higher states of consciousness, war, murder, revolution, destruction....Chaos.
Maybe, just maybe, could it be said that the "Dark Gods" of the ONA are "qlippotic forces". But well, I think that is bullshit. You should understand the spiritual forces as what they ARE, without your dualistic human mind.
I do not interpretate the spiritual realities in terms of "white light religions"/hippy/new age stuff. Even the "Sephirotic forces" can take you to a formless state in which you can be percieved as a monster by inferior beings, in my opinion.
It is just a matter of perspective.
So, do I think that to unleash the old gods in our world is a wise thing to do?

What is the deal with ONA anyway? For what it tries so hard to be, the texts radiate such positive energy. Anyone else get that? Like reading an ONA text makes me feel inspired to go better myself.

Shaping the reorganisation of PHE
The BMA expects to be consulted on any changes to Public Health England, says Peter English
Published: Thursday 10 September 2020
The past few months have been among the most challenging of my professional career, as I am sure that they have been for many of you.
Along with the now-resurging challenge of COVID-19, we have the proposed reorganisation of PHE (Public Health England) and the potential negative health effects of the end of the Brexit transition period.
On top of that, BMA public health medicine committee members have been developing responses to all these issues on behalf of you all and the wider BMA.
During the course of the pandemic the committee has sought to defend the pay and conditions of public health doctors. We have had some notable successes in ensuring additional pay for registrars undertaking work for PHE. We are working on extending that to local authorities. We have also sought to ensure the public health system makes the best possible use of returning doctors and continues to do so over the next 12 months or more. We believe the effective use of this group of doctors is the best way to tackle the workload challenges many of us now face. If you have any concerns about either of these issues, please email the committee.
Like many of you, while we were not wholly surprised at the decision to reshape PHE, we were surprised and disappointed at the way it was done. The BMA has made its feelings known to the health secretary on the way information has been leaked and has made it clear that it expects to be consulted on the changes. Through the PHE local negotiating committee we are working on a joint position on the next steps, and we are close to agreeing a set of principles to underpin our response with a wide range of professional organisations. Look out for the publication of these initiatives on the BMA website.
Given the significant effect of these issues on the morale of public health doctors we hope to be able to bring you all together at a virtual conference, most likely in early November. Please look out for further details in newsletters and emails. If you have personal concerns about your health and well-being, the BMA has a range of support services which can be accessed via the BMA website.
Finally, nominations for 12 places on the committee will open on Friday 11 September. The places are open to any public health doctor in any part of the UK. Our aim is to run a more flexible and open election than we have in previous years with one objective being a better-balanced committee in terms of gender and ethnicity. If you have been affected by and/or are interested in the issues that we are facing do please consider standing for election. With all the challenges ahead we need the strongest possible committee working on your behalf.
Nominate yourself

Salt reduction in England from 2003 to 2011: its relationship to blood pressure, stroke and ischaemic heart disease mortality

Objectives To determine the relationship between the reduction in salt intake that occurred in England, and blood pressure (BP), as well as mortality from stroke and ischaemic heart disease (IHD).
Design Analysis of the data from the Health Survey for England.
Setting and participants England, 2003 N=9183, 2006 N=8762, 2008 N=8974 and 2011 N=4753, aged ≥16 years.
Outcomes BP, stroke and IHD mortality.
Results From 2003 to 2011, there was a decrease in mortality from stroke by 42% (p<0.001) and IHD by 40% (p<0.001). In parallel, there was a fall in BP of 3.0±0.33/1.4±0.20 mm Hg (p<0.001/p<0.001), a decrease of 0.4±0.02 mmol/L (p<0.001) in cholesterol, a reduction in smoking prevalence from 19% to 14% (p<0.001), an increase in fruit and vegetable consumption (0.2±0.05 portion/day, p<0.001) and an increase in body mass index (BMI; 0.5±0.09 kg/m2, p<0.001). Salt intake, as measured by 24 h urinary sodium, decreased by 1.4 g/day (p<0.01). It is likely that all of these factors (with the exception of BMI), along with improvements in the treatments of BP, cholesterol and cardiovascular disease, contributed to the falls in stroke and IHD mortality. In individuals who were not on antihypertensive medication, there was a fall in BP of 2.7±0.34/1.1±0.23 mm Hg (p<0.001/p<0.001) after adjusting for age, sex, ethnic group, education, household income, alcohol consumption, fruit and vegetable intake and BMI. Although salt intake was not measured in these participants, the fact that the average salt intake in a random sample of the population fell by 15% during the same period suggests that the falls in BP would be largely attributable to the reduction in salt intake rather than antihypertensive medications.
Conclusions The reduction in salt intake is likely to be an important contributor to the falls in BP from 2003 to 2011 in England. As a result, it would have contributed substantially to the decreases in stroke and IHD mortality.

Coast venues cash in on BEpoz technology
Written on the 5 March 2009
A REVOLUTIONARY payment system is adding efficiency to working environments in Gold Coast restaurants, hotels, convention venues and clubs.
BEpoz was developed in Australia specifically for Australian hospitality market requirements and is now used by companies including the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, The Gold Coast Arts Centre, Nobbys Surf Club and Shuck in Main Beach.
Smart Business Technologies (SBT) is the exclusive sale and support company behind the BEpoz product. SBT has been supplying and supporting cash register and POS solutions to the Australian market for more than 25 years.
Director Trina Hill says SBT now services more than 95 companies from Kempsey to Inglewood and as far north as Port Douglas with more than 300 sites internationally.
"Innovation is the key to survival in this climate," says Hill.
"We are very product-driven and are a multi-venue supplier. For more than 10 years, we exclusively supplied and supported the Jetz POS product and successfully installed hundreds of sites throughout Queensland and northern NSW."
Hill has taken over the family business from her father Graham, who was the exclusive Australian distributor for Kinktron cash registers in the 1970s. Clients now range from single till installations to venues with more than 60 POS terminals.
"Many of our users are also multi-venue businesses, with venues spread around Australia and controlled from a central management location," she says.
"BEpoz uses the latest cutting edge technology to provide our clients with a powerful, fast, easy to use, reliable and cost effective solution. We at Smart Business Technologies in turn are dedicated to backing this up with superior customer support and ensuring that our clients receive the most out of their system."

Chris Brown went to jail briefly yesterday after pleading not guilty to charges stemming from a May hit-and-run crash. The singer turned himself in to police, reports MTV, and was released about 40 minutes later without posting bail. Records from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department show that Brown was booked at the Van Nuys jail around 2:40 p.m. and was released by 3:22 p.m.
50 Top Tweeters in Music: Chris Brown
The singer has repeatedly denied that the accident was a hit-and-run, and had two lesser charges of driving without a valid license and proof of insurance dropped in the case. Brown allegedly hit a woman's car at a red light and fled the scene. The singer's probabtion was also revoked following the incident.
Brown had tweeted his frustration on June 25th, the day he was charged, writing, "It's not a hit and run if u get out the car, exchange information (who has NO DAMAGE to either cars).This is really ridiculous."
The singer today tweeted that his upcoming album, due out on August 20th, could be his final new release.
"Don't worry mainstream America.After this X album, it'll probably be my last album," he wrote.

9340. 'And I will set your boundary from the Sea Suph even to the Sea of the Philistines' means the full range of truths from factual ones to interior truths of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'setting the boundary from one place to another', when it refers to spiritual truths, as the full range; from the meaning of 'the Sea Suph' as truths on the levels of the senses and of factual knowledge, which are the lowest levels of the human mind (the Sea Suph was the final boundary of the land of Egypt, and 'Egypt' means factual knowledge in both senses, that is, true factual knowledge and false, 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 2588, 4749, 4964, 4966, 5700, 6004, 6015, 6125, 6651, 6679, 6683, 6692, 6750, 7779 (end), 7926, 8146, 8148; in this instance true factual knowledge is meant since the subject is the full range of spiritual matters of faith among the children of Israel, who represented the spiritual Church, 4286, 4598, 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223, 8805); and from the meaning of 'the Sea of the Philistines' as interior truths of faith. The reason why these truths are meant by 'the Sea of the Philistines' is that the sea where Tyre and Sidon lay was the boundary of the land of Philistia, and 'Tyre and Sidon' means cognitions or knowledge of truth and good, 1201, while 'the land of Philistia' means the knowledge of interior matters of faith, 1197, 2504, 2726, 3463.
[2] Since 'the land of Canaan' represented the Lord's kingdom, which is heaven and the Church, all places in the land therefore meant such things as form part of the Lord's kingdom, or heaven and the Church, which things are called celestial and spiritual, and are connected with the good of love to the Lord and the truths of faith in Him. For this reason the seas and rivers which were boundaries meant the final limits there, and therefore 'from sea to sea' or 'from river to river' meant the full range of those things, as may be seen in 1585, 1866, 4116, 4240, 6516. From all this it becomes clear that 'the boundary from the Sea Suph even to the Sea of the Philistines' means the range of spiritual things, which are matters of truth, from external ones to internal, thus truths ranging from factual ones to interior truths of faith. But the range of celestial things, which are aspects of the good of love, is described next by the words 'from the wilderness even to the River'. The fact that places belonging to the land of Canaan, including seas and rivers, mean such things in the Word, has been shown in explanations everywhere.
[3] What the full range of truths from factual ones to interior truths of faith is must be stated briefly. Truths which exist in the external man are called factual ones, but truths which exist in the internal man are called interior truths of faith. Factual truths reside in a person's memory, and when they are brought out from there they pass into the person's immediate awareness. But interior truths of faith are truths of life itself which are inscribed on the internal man, but few of which show up in the memory. These however are matters which will in the Lord's Divine mercy be spoken of more fully elsewhere. Factual truths and interior truths of faith were meant in Genesis 1:6-7 by the waters under the expanse and the waters above the expanse, 24; for the first chapter of Genesis deals in the internal sense with the new creation or the regeneration of a member of the celestial Church.
(References: Genesis 1:1)
[4] The reason why 'Philistia', which also bordered on the land of Canaan as far as Tyre and Sidon, meant the interior truths of faith was that there also the representative Ancient Church had existed, as is evident from the remnants of Divine worship among them which are alluded to in historical sections and prophetical parts of the Word in which the Philistines and the land of Philistia are the subject, such as - in the prophetical parts - Jeremiah 25:20; Jeremiah 47:1-end; Jeremiah 47:Ezekiel 16:27, 57; 25:15-16; Amos 1:8; Zephaniah 2:5; Zechariah 9:6; Psalms 56:1;	1 60:8; 83:7; 108:9. The situation with the Philistines was the same as it was with all the nations in the land of Canaan, in that they represented the Church's forms of good and its truths, and also evils and falsities. When the representative Ancient Church existed among them they represented celestial things which were aspects of good and spiritual things which were matters of truth. But when they fell away from true representative worship they began to represent devilish things which were aspects of evil and hellish things which were matters of falsity. This is the reason why 'Philistia', like all the other nations belonging to the land of Canaan in the Word, means either forms of good and truths, or else evils and falsities.
[5] The fact that interior truths of faith are meant by 'the Philistines' is clear in David,
Glorious things are to be spoken in you, O city of God. I will mention Rahab and Babel among those who know Me; also Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia. The latter was born here.	2 Psalms 87:3-4.
'The city of God' means teachings presenting the truth of faith that are drawn from the Word, 402, 2268, 2449, 2712, 2943, 3216, 4492, 4493, 5297; 'Tyre' means cognitions or knowledge of truth and good, 1201, and so does 'Ethiopia', 116, 117. From this it is evident that 'Philistia' means knowledge of the truths of faith.
[6] In Amos,
Are you not like the children of the Ethiopians to Me, O children of Israel? Did I not cause Israel to come up from the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? Amos 9:7.
This refers to the corruption and destruction of the Church after it had been established. 'The children of the Ethiopians' here are those in possession of cognitions of goodness and truth, which they use to substantiate evils and falsities, 1163, 1164. 'The children of Israel from the land of Egypt' are those who had been brought to spiritual truths and forms of good by means of factual truths, 'the children of Israel' being people in possession of spiritual truths and forms of good, thus in the abstract sense spiritual truths and forms of good, see 5414, 5801, 5803, 5806, 5812, 5817, 5819, 5826, 5833, 5879, 5951, 7957, 8234, and 'the land of Egypt' being factual truth, as shown above. The same is meant by 'the Philistines from Caphtor' and by 'the Syrians from Kir', to whom they are therefore likened. 'The Philistines from Caphtor' are people who had been brought to interior truths by means of exterior ones, but who perverted them and used them to substantiate falsities and evils, 1197, 1198, 3412, 3413, 3762, 8093, 8096, 8099, 8313, whereas 'the Syrians from Kir' are those who were in possession of cognitions of goodness and truth, which they likewise perverted, 1232, 1234, 3051, 3249, 3664, 3680, 4112.
(References: Arcana Coelestia 1163-1164, Arcana Coelestia 1197-1198, 3412-3413)
[7] In Jeremiah,
... because of the day that is coming to lay waste all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper that is left, for Jehovah is laying waste the Philistines, the remnants of the island of Caphtor. Jeremiah 47:4.
The subject in Jeremiah 47 is the laying waste of the Church's truths of faith, interior truths of faith being meant by 'the Philistines' and exterior truths by 'the remnants of the island of Caphtor'.
[8] In Joel,
What have you to do with Me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the borders of Philistia? Swiftly I will return your recompense upon your own head, inasmuch as you have taken My silver and My gold, and My good and desirable treasures you have carried into your temples. Joel 3:4-5.
'All the borders of Philistia' stands for all the interior and the exterior truths of faith; 'carrying silver and gold, and good and desirable treasures into their temples' stands for perverting truths and forms of good, and profaning them by putting them together with evils and falsities. For the meaning of 'silver and gold' as truths and forms of good, see 1551, 2954, 5658, 6112, 6914, 6917, 8932.
(References: Joel 3:4, 3:6)
[9] In Obadiah,
At that time those in the south will be the heirs of the mountain of Esau, and of the plain of the Philistines, and they will become the heirs of the field of Ephraim; but Benjamin [will be the heir] of Gilead. Obad. verse 19.
This refers to the establishment of the Church; but spiritual things are implied by the names. 'Those in the south' are people who dwell in the light of truth, 1458, 3195, 3708, 5672, 5962; 'the mountain of Esau' is the good of love, 3300, 3322, 3494, 3504, 3576; 'the plain of the Philistines' is the truth of faith, 'the plain' being also that which constitutes matters of doctrine about faith, 2418; 'Ephraim' is the Church's power of understanding, 3969, 5354, 6222, 6234, 6238, 6267; 'Benjamin' is the Church's spiritual-celestial truth, 3969, 4592, 5686, 5689, 6440; and 'Gilead' is the corresponding exterior good, 4117, 4124, 4747.
(References: Obadiah 1:19)
[10] In Isaiah,
He will gather the outcasts of Israel, and will assemble the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. They will fly down onto the shoulder of the Philistines towards the sea, together they will plunder the sons of the east. Isaiah 11:12, 14.
Here 'Israel' and 'Judah' are not used to mean Israel and Judah; rather, 'Israel' means those who are governed by the good of faith, and 'Judah' those who are governed by the good of love. 'Flying down onto the shoulder of the Philistines' stands for receiving and taking into possession interior truths of faith; and 'plundering the sons of the east' stands for receiving and taking into possession interior forms of the good of faith, for 'the sons of the east' are people who are governed by forms of the good of faith and with whom cognitions or knowledge of good exists, 3249. 3762. For the meaning of 'plundering' as receiving and taking into possession, see what has been shown in 6914, 6917, regarding the plundering of the Egyptians by the children of Israel.
[11] Since 'the land of Philistia' meant knowledge of the interior truths of faith, and since Abraham and Isaac represented the Lord, and the sojourning of these two in places meant instruction received by the Lord in the truths and forms of the good of faith and love, which belong to God's wisdom, therefore - to provide a figurative representation of this - Abraham was commanded to sojourn in Philistia, Genesis 20:1-end, and so too was Isaac, Genesis 26:1-24. Therefore also Abimelech king of the Philistines made a covenant with Abraham, Genesis 21:22-end, and also with Isaac, Genesis 26:26-end. Regarding all this, see the explanations to those chapters.

Each Hornets player was then introduced and each ran through some white smoke and between pillars of shooting flames.
Wanna guess which player got the loudest ovation? Of course, it was former Oklahoma State star Desmond Mason. Mason scored his first point of the season with 11:02 left in the fourth quarter on a free throw.
Bulletin board material: In the Hornets locker room before the game, Shinn had written some words of wisdom on the bulletin board.
Here are his words: "We are all blessed to have been embraced by Oklahoma City. Now, we must embrace Oklahoma City back by working our butts off to play hard and be the best we can be. If you believe you can ... you can. God bless.
Plane delayed: The Kings didn't make it for their shoot-around, which was scheduled for noon Tuesday.
The Kings left Sacramento on Monday night, but returned to Sacramento shortly after takeoff.
The Kings got to Oklahoma City at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon and skipped the shootaround.
Andersen not in violation: Hornets forward Chris Andersen was styling early in the evening Tuesday at the Ford Center. Andersen was in compliance with the new NBA dress code, looking dapper in a blue pin-striped suit with a white shirt complete with a butterfly collar. No tie, but a suit.
Dressed nicely, but not for the game: As per NBA rules, only 12 players are allowed to dress for the game. The three Hornets who did not and were listed as inactive were guard Kirk Snyder, forward Sean Banks and forward Maciej Lampe.
Speaking of dressing up: Former NBA star and current NBA announcer Bill Walton was at the Ford Center on Tuesday. Good thing Walton isn't on an NBA roster, because he would have been in stark violation of the new dress code.
Walton wasn't wearing a suit or tie, but he was wearing a tie-dyed Oklahoma City Hornets shirt.
Nicknames to know: Public address announcer Michael Thompson referred to guard Chris Paul as "CP 3" throughout the game.
Of course, Chris Andersen was called "The Birdman," and guard J.R. Smith was referred to as "The Prodigy."
White out: Each ticket-holder got a free white T-shirt when they entered the Ford Center.
With about 10 minutes to go before tipoff, after a request from Thompson, all the fans put on their shirts.
"Let's show everyone that Oklahoma City is behind this team," Thompson said.
So far, so good: When owner George Shinn spoke to the Oklahoma City Rotary Club last month, Shinn predicted a sellout for every Hornets home game this season.
Well, he's right so far. One game, one sellout. The announced attendance was 19,163. Only 34 more to go in Oklahoma City.
The nose knows: Hornets forward David West was rubbing his nose after the game in the lockerroom, thanks for an elbow from the Kings Brian Skinner.
"I'm good now," West said. "But I can't get hit no more."
