Bitwa pod Białą Cerkwią – starcie zbrojne wojsk Rzeczypospolitej i Chanatu Krymskiego 9 października 1626.

Tło polityczne
Z powodu wojny ze Szwecją, która wybuchła na Pomorzu, Stanisław Koniecpolski z głównymi siłami wojsk kwarcianych ruszył jesienią z Ukrainy nad Wisłę. Obrona kresów oddana została w ręce regimentarza Stefana Chmieleckiego, na którego barkach przez najbliższe pięć lat spocząć miała cała polityka wschodnia Rzeczypospolitej, a przede wszystkim stosunki z Tatarami. Ze względu na niezwykle poważną sytuację, jaka wytworzyła się na północy, siły wojskowe zostawione do dyspozycji Chmieleckiego były stosunkowo niewielkie. Król Szwecji Gustaw Adolf nie tylko listownie, ale nawet przez posłów usiłował skłonić Tatarów do ataku na Polskę. Podobnie czynił walczący ze sprzymierzonymi z Zygmuntem III Habsburgami protestancki władca Siedmiogrodu Gábor Bethlen, dobrze pamiętający polską interwencję z 1619 roku zakończoną bitwą pod Humiennem. Tatarzy nie potrzebowali jednak zachęty, by wykorzystać moment osłabienia sił polskich na Ukrainie.

Działania wojenne
Licząc na to, że po odejściu większości wojsk wraz z hetmanem Koniecpolskim ziemie ukraińskie pozostały praktycznie bezbronne, wojska tatarskie w sile 10-15 tys. Tatarów krymskich i Nogajów budziackich, idące Czarnym szlakiem, wtargnęły w końcu września w granice Rzeczypospolitej i założyły kosz pod Białą Cerkwią. Kosz rozłożono w błotnistej okolicy nad rzeką Roś. Wkrótce rozpuszczono czambuły, by sprowadzały do kosza łup i jasyr. Stefan Chmielecki nie tracił czasu i szybko skoncentrował siłę liczącą 5000 żołnierzy, w tym 1500 Kozaków rejestrowych. Natychmiast uderzył na zupełnie zaskoczonego nieprzyjaciela, odbierając mu cały łup i zadając bardzo ciężkie straty. Uciekinierów ścigano przez 4 godziny, po czym zawrócono, by niszczyć pozostałe czambuły, które nieświadome zaistniałej sytuacji wciąż zajmowały się grabieżą okolic. Jeden lub dwa dni później rozbity został pod Fastowem oddział sołtana Buhara i synów Kantymira. W tym samym czasie rotmistrz Bajbuza rozbił przy którymś z brodów wracający z łupami czambuł. Całkowicie pobici Tatarzy stracili w sumie ok. tysiąca zabitych, a ponadto kilka chorągwi i buńczuków. Zwycięzcy wzięli także wielu jeńców, sami tracąc tylko 40 poległych. Ponieważ na Krymie doszło niebawem do wojny domowej, ziemie ukraińskie przez cały następny rok były wolne od najazdów tatarskich.

Another Ubisoft veteran leaves the company after almost 20 years
Patrick Plourde is setting up his own "independent creative consultancy".
News by Vikki Blake Contributor
Child of Light director Patrick Plourde is the latest senior developer to announce they are leaving Ubisoft after almost 20 years at the company.
The creative director - who has also worked on Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 3, and Rainbow Six Vegas - announced his departure earlier this week, and confirmed he's moving on to form his own "independent creative consultancy".
"R6 Vegas, AC, FC3, CoL, WD2... it's been a privilege to collaborate with everyone at Ubi on these great games!" Plourde tweeted.
"Now, I'm happy to share that I'm starting my own independent creative consultancy, where I will keep working with Ubisoft and also spend time on some personal projects."
In a brief statement to Axios (thanks, VGC), he added that being "outside of a traditional structure" means he can now "dabble with other fields outside gaming [...] without having to ask my employer's permission".
R6 Vegas, AC, FC3, CoL, WD2... it's been a privilege to collaborate with everyone at Ubi on these great games!
Now, I'm happy to share that I'm starting my own independent creative consultancy, where I will keep working with Ubisoft and also spend time on some personal projects.
— Patrick Plourde (@patrick_plourde) April 13, 2022
Ubisoft confirmed the departure to Axios, too, adding: "We can confirm that Patrick is leaving Ubisoft but will provide consulting to some of our creative directors, at their request, and to the Editorial team on certain projects."
It's the latest departure in what many are calling "the great exodus" following a wave of resignations from the company over the past 18 months at all levels of the business. A range of reasons have been cited for departures, including low pay, competitive opportunities elsewhere, frustration at the company's creative direction, and unease at its handling of workplace misconduct.
As Ed reported at the time, the Canadian studios seem to have been particularly hard hit by departures, with at least 60 workers leaving in the six months leading to December 2021.
Ubisoft has been hit with criticism following its handling of workplace misconduct allegations, with Ubisoft chief people officer Anika Grant recently admitting the company mishandled complaints, causing a lack of trust.
Developers at the company are also reportedly disappointed with its inclusion of NFTs. French trade union Solidaires Informatique, which represents Ubisoft employees in Paris, called the technology "a useless, costly, ecologically mortifying tech".

The Lowlands is a region of more gentle, floral whiskies. Their single malt distilleries have earned the nickname "The Lowland Ladies". In this region, triple distillation is preferred, which makes the whisky more delicate. Auchentoshan is perhaps the most famed Lowland distillery, though there are other great distilleries, including Glenkinchie and the recently restarted Bladnoch. Rosebank and Ladyburn, meanwhile, are sadly defunct distilleries that earned great reputations for their superb whiskies.


Constantly on the blogging radar, Lush has released a couple of special bath ballistics especially for Easter. As usual, they are aimed squarely at the girly girls inside all of us – pink, duckling shaped and smelling of sweets.
Immediately after taking this picture, I heartlessly snapped off the ducklings head and dropped it into a nice hot bath. It smelt gorgeous, fresh but sweet all at the same time. I only used the head but it still smelt fantastic – so I think you can get at least 2-3 uses out of each of these bath ballistics.
I reckon the egg shaped bath ballistic is likely to appeal to anyone who likes the candy cane bubble bar from Christmas, or the comforter bubble bar – it smells EXTREMELY sweet and is EXTREMELY bright pink. But I haven't tried it out yet, so can't comment on how it smells/works in action.
Always worth making a stop at Lush if you want to add a bit of extra fun to bath time.
These bath ballistics were sent to be free of charge (and were a bit of a surprise – I didn't know they were coming till I opened the envelope to a waft of lush-scent) Opinions are still all my own.
i bought the candy fluff egg and the honey bun bombs. can't wait to try them!
I've been looking at these on the website and hinting to my boyfriend that I want them for easter, haha 🙂 But I think if I pop in there today I might have to pick one up, they're so cute!

Adventurous with many interests, yet grounded and centered within her explorations, Kelli is creative, aware, direct, curious, compassionate and bold. She's passionate and committed to deeper learning and wisdom by cultivating mindfulness through the practice of meditation.
Kelli has always been drawn to the edges of life, that place where true transformation occurs. By taking risks, falling down, diving deep and learning to trust her own process or experience, she has tested the waters many times in search for the meaning of life, coming to the conclusion that our life purpose is to live life awake and aligned with our personal core values.
Practicing the compassionate art of "staying with" uncomfortable feelings, she has discovered that edgy energy can be channeled into healing or life affirming actions through the power of wide awake self-expression. Kelli has a fascination with opposites and created her "Peace and Noise" theory. She believes that true inner peace and freedom isn't just about cultivating calmness or sitting in silence through meditation or prayer. It's also about making "noise," your unique, authentic, heartfelt "noise" or expression for the world to hear.
Inner peace is the freedom of giving yourself full permission to BE who YOU are and to live life truly awake and out loud so that others may do the same.
Born and raised in Texas, she was a wild, spirited child whose bold curiosity often clashed with rules and authority. Kelli's first dream was to be a rock n' roll star. Passionate about music, art and songwriters with a message, the Beatles, Dylan, and Patti Smith inspired her to explore and push life to the limits. Playing guitar, painting, racing mountain bikes and being the leader of the pack came natural to her. She attended the Art Institute of Houston and studied Commercial Art, joined the Army, which only brought out her more rebellious side, and explored the U.S. and Europe by backpacking on her own for two years.
The rock n' roll lifestyle eventually lead her down a dark road, she got clean and sober and now has 24 years of sobriety. Kelli landed in Los Angeles, and that became home for 18 years. During that time, she was a personal assistant for a famous comedian, supervisor for a women's recovery center in East L.A., and eventually a case manager, street outreach worker and art director for youth at risk on the mean streets of Hollywood.
After 8 years of social work and at a spiritual and personal crossroad, she became a serious student of the Dharma, or the Buddhist teachings, which altered her life and is her spiritual foundation. She went back to school, received a degree in graphic design and started her own business which included creating a successful Buddhist/motorcycle/music/ T-shirt line. While working in the creative arts, she yearned to be of service again, connecting with people on a deeper soul level. She met a life coach while hiking in Sedona, hired him and through his support completed the Core Coaching Curriculum at The Coaches Training Institute in January 2007 and CTI's in-depth Certification Program where she gained the designation of "Certified Professional Co-Active Coach" in the spring '08. Kelli then completed the rigorous 10-month Leadership Program offered through CTI and in 2011 graduated from the Hoffman Institute.
She served 5 years as Program Director, Vice President and President for the Greater Austin Chapter of the International Coaches Federation, which is the governing body of coaches around the world. Kelli is also a registered Integrative Yoga Therapist and incorporates the teachings of Yoga and meditation into her coaching practice. She is also certified as a Trauma Sensitive Yoga Teacher and is trained to teach people how to overcome anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder and panic attacks.
In 2016, Kelli and her partner created Dharma Ranch, a retreat center on 10 acres in San Marcos, Tx.
In her spare time, Kelli loves to ride her motorcycle, bicycle, and take hiking adventures with her two dogs. Music, art, dancing, people, yoga and meditation are her places for encounter.


I file my email in different IMAP folders, grouped by topic rather than the "received messages in one folder, sent in another" model imposed nowadays by most mail clients. It's easy to keep the messages I receive organized by topic — when I'm done handling a message, I simply move it into the appropriate folder.
On the other hand, organizing the copies of message I've sent is less straightforward. Visiting my "Sent Items" folder every time I send a message and filing the message I've just sent is gross. What I've done in the past is to leave all the copies in "Sent Items" and periodically file all of them one at a time. This is time-consuming and error-prone, and what's more, it could be at least partially automated — if I file a message I received in a particular folder, then something ought to be smart enough to figure out that the response I sent should go into the same folder.
After spending over an hour this morning filing "Sent Items" messages, my annoyance threshold was finally exceeded and I decided to automate the process as much as I could. The result is file-sent-items.pl. In a nutshell, this script reads each message in your "Sent Items" folder (or whatever it's called), grabs the message IDs in the "Message-ID", "Resent-Message-ID", "In-Reply-To" and/or "References" headers, looks for a message with one of those IDs in your other folders, and if one is found, moves the sent message into its folder. There's a bit more too it than that, of course, which you can find out by reading the comment at the top of the script and running it with the "–help" option to get a usage message.
Of course, this script won't be able to file messages that aren't part of conversations already filed into other folders, but it still reduces by a lot the amount of filing you have to do by hand.
Excellent article. I agree with author completely, especially last section. Keep posting posts like this one.
Jik – you can make a rule in outlook to have outgoing messages copied to the inbox as well as sent items, and it works correctly with grouping by thread etc. I do this at work, and it's awesome. It's so much easier when I can see my own replies to threads as well as everyone else's. I can show you / email you it when I get to work on Monday.
@Nate: First of all, why would I want to see two copies of every outgoing message, one in my Inbox and one in Sent Items?
Second, even if I do want to display messages by thread in my Inbox (which I don't; see below), why would I need messages I've sent included in that display? I know what I said, and replies to my messages almost always include it below the reply.
Third, I tend to prefer strict chronological message displays in my Inbox (most recent first) rather than threaded displays. Occasionally when I've been offline for a while and entire conversations have occurred in my absence, I switch to threaded display briefly to group them, but once I'm caught up, I switch back to chronological.
I suppose that if I did regularly use threaded display in my Inbox, then I could configure Outlook as you've described and configure Thunderbird and my other email clients (e.g., Tiggit on my BlackBerry) to put sent messages in Inbox instead of Sent Items to avoid the BCC spam filter issue described above, and then file my sent messages along with the messages I've received all at once when filing the entire thread. But given that I prefer chronological display in my Inbox, doing things that way would just mean more time spent filing messages.
hmm.. You could clear the BCC field on such messages, but then, you might sometimes forget to do that.
You have my sympathy if you're forced to use Outhouselook. The vast majority of people at my current job use it. I figured I could get used to it, so I forced myself to use it at first, but after a few months, I gave up. Exchange servers can use IMAP for mail and LDAP for contacts, so I've bounced between Kmail, Thunderbird and Evolution ever since.
I always just set my mail client to automatically BCC me for all outgoing messages — that way, my sent messages always get viewed along with my received messages, and I can view them together in thread-views.
I used to do that, but it messes with my spam filter. For example, if a piece of spam gets through my spam filter and I submit it to SpamCop by email, if a copy gets BCC'd to me, then either my spam filter will classify it as spam, in which case I'll never see it, or as non-spam, in which case it'll automatically "train" itself to consider the keywords in the message, including all of the spam's keywords, as non-spam keywords, which will reduce its accuracy significantly.
In addition, I don't actually want my spam filter to train itself even on non-spam outgoing messages. The keyword profile of my outgoing messages is somewhat different from the keyword profile of incoming messages, and the closer the spam filter's keyword profile matches my incoming message stream, the better job it'll do filtering the spam.
And then there's the fact that Outlook, which I use at work to access both home and work email, doesn't support BCC'ing copies of outgoing messages, at least not as far as I can tell.

Parish on Fire
Reflections on faithfulness in a time of uncertainty
Those women in sandals who died in El Salvador
LBK	Uncategorized	 December 2, 2020 December 2, 2020 4 Minutes
What are their names? I asked, staring at the picture before me in my spiral-bound Catechism workbook. I don't remember how old I was, but since that time, the image has seared into my brain. Through somewhat blurry sepia-tones, I could make out the bodies of two women – their sandaled feet protruding from under piles of leaves and dirt. The caption said that there had been four. Four nuns martyred a long time ago in a place far away called El Salvador. Next to them, was a picture of another martyr, Archbishop Oscar Romero.
I don't remember, the teacher said, but they were Americans. I think at this point, the lesson moved on.
I have learned a few things since then: One, that was a particularly gruesome image to be featured in a book for children. You can still find the image online, but I have opted not to share it here. Also, 1980 wasn't that long ago, and El Salvador isn't that far away.
If you don't know the story, here it is, in brief. From 1979-1992, the US Federal Government backed a military junta in El Salvador (at the sum of $1-2 million a day), that was deemed to be an ally in the Cold War. More than 75,000 people in the 12-year civil war, with an unknown number being disappeared. US-trained death squads terrorized the nation, murdering prominent officials in the Catholic Church who dared to resist, or, who had the audacity to defend and protect civilians. Archbishop Óscar Romero was assassinated while performing mass on March 24th, 1980, and then, on December 2nd of the same year, a death squad raped, tortured, and murdered those four nuns, and left them in a ditch. As the story goes, those who love them identified them, first by their sandals, as Sr. Maura Clarke, Sr. Ita Ford, Sr. Dorothy Kazel, and Jean Donovan.
Turns out, those women had names.
Clarke, 49, was a Maryknoll sister, who had given her entire adult life to education and service. She'd spent almost 20 years accompanying the people of Nicaragua, and had been reluctant to leave Nicaragua for El Salvador. But, after the death of Sr. Carla Piette in a flash flood in El Salvador in September of 1980, felt that God was calling her to serve refugees in Piette's place. Ford, a fellow Maryknoll, was a close companion of Clarke, and had been with Piette in the flood. She, too, had only come in El Salvador in early 1980, responding to Romero's call to serve the poor there, and arriving shortly after his death.
Kazel, an Ursuline sister, arrived in El Salvador in 1974. She had written that it was a country writhing in pain. On the evening of December 2, she and Donovan had driven to the airport to pick up Clarke and Ford, who were returning from a regional gathering. Donovan, a layperson, was only 27. She'd had a promising future at an accounting firm when she felt a call to mission in El Salvador in 1979. She was inspired by Romero, and had assisted Kazel in starting an orphanage to care for wounded children, or those whose parents had been murdered by the junta.
In retrospect, I understand the omittance of their names as the most pervasive form of sexism. The failure to tell their stories, however, has an additional contributing factor; that being the strange, read: unhealthy, emphasis Christianity has placed upon death. (It's baked right into the "Mystery of Faith". We start with, Christ has died, as though he wasn't born. As though he didn't live. Jesus.) Clarke, Ford, Kazel, and Donovan are lumped together, because they died together. Their deaths, indeed, had great value, as news of their murders awoke opposition to the US funding of the El Salvadoran junta among North American church people. But while their deaths are what made them known, surely we cannot assume that the last (terrifying) hours of their lives are what made them notable.
They lived daily with an awareness of the danger they faced along side the Salvadoran people. As Ford said the night before her death, One who is committed to the poor must risk the same fate the poor.
Clarke wrote more explicitly, My fear of death is being challenged constantly as children, lovely young girls, old people are being (killed). One cries out: Lord how long? And then too what creeps into my mind is the little fear, or big, that when it touches me very personally, will I be faithful?
Memorial to Clarke, Ford, Kazel, and Donovan
Those women were not perfect. They were identified by their sandals, because most Salvadorans were so poor that they were barefoot. Certainly, there were other privileges those women did not see or understand. But their words, and the details of the separate paths that led to their fate, are a key for us to learn from their lives, rather than simply glorify their deaths. Clarke reminds us that even after years service, we are in good company if we are still afraid. Donovan demonstrates that even if a path of worldly success stretches out before us, we can always chose a life of service. Kazel shows us how to keep our eyes open to the suffering of the world, but to not be consumed by despair. And Ford asks us, Are we willing to suffer the same fate as those with whom we serve? That's the only path to true solidarity. It's the only way to preach the gospel.
In this season of waiting for God's justice, perhaps we should start by saying their names. Then, maybe we'll remember to celebrate their lives, as well as honor their deaths. And then, by God's grace, perhaps we can live into such faithfulness.

First, regarding the case where a person lodges an application, on their own and on behalf of a dependant, the Court confirmed that this is not covered by the inadmissibility ground of Article 33 (2)e of Directive 2013/32. According to the Court, that ground concerns cases where the dependant submits their own application, after having consented to the first application. Furthermore, this finding cannot be compromised by the fact that the application is based, among other facts, on a family tie with another person, who has also lodged a separate application for asylum. The latter should instead be assessed in the context of possible risks stemming from family ties with the person submitting the main claim of risk.
In this context, the Court started by reiterating its own case law on the importance of individual assessment of asylum claims, to be carried out in the context of the applicant's personal circumstances. However, it concurred with AG Mengozzi's conclusion in his Opinion that, during that assessment, the applicant's possible risk of persecution or serious harm, due to their family tie with the person at primary risk, must be taken into account. Lastly, regarding the mother's personal claim that her involvement in ECtHR proceedings against Azerbaijan put her at risk, the Court held that such an involvement could be considered a reason to grant asylum, if Azerbaijan would consider the complaint before the ECtHR as political dissent, with the purpose of retaliating against its national.
Second, on the procedural considerations of interrelated applications by family members, the Court found that the need for prompt assessment of asylum requests, as interpreted in the Alheto case, means that an application for asylum cannot be suspended until another family member's application is processed. However, the authorities can consider prioritising the assessment of the main application, upon which all claims are eventually based, before proceeding with the remaining applications, always in a timely manner. According to the Court, a single assessment of separate asylum requests lodged by family members would be unlawful, but an assessment of the interaction and relationship between those requests is not precluded by EU law.
Furthermore, on the question of the lawfulness of extension of refugee status to family members, the Court noted that this is in accordance with Directive 2011/95/EU, as long as there are no grounds for exclusion of that member, and the extension remains consistent with the overall rationale of the Directive's provisions on family unity and international protection. Lastly, the Court clarified the conditions and scope of review, of evidence and arguments that are being presented for the first time at the second-instance proceedings, focusing on the significance, content and time of presentation of the new elements.


When I was in college, a friend was reading "Fast Food Nation." I asked her why she was reading that particular book. She answered, "Because I can." She explained, "I learned to read so I can read."
I've been reading books about hiking the Appalachian Trail recently (also known as the AT). Some people are about walking the way my friend was about reading. They walk because they can and enjoy it. Some even end up walking the 2200 miles along the AT from Georgia to Maine. I've never walked that far but when I lived in San Diego, I used to hike in the desert and the Cuyamaca Mountains. Sometimes, I would just walk to the beach four miles away.
I always had a desire to thru hike the Appalachian trail. Work seems to get in the way. However, if an opportunity ever dropped in my lap, I'd like to be ready. Being inspired by my reading, I started walking the 2.7 miles from work to home. That's a start.

There was a moment on Tuesday night when the Republican Convention looked like it just might slide right off the rails. The President had been banished from his own party. The running mate was caught in a media frenzy. And a Democrat was extolling the Republican nominee for a series of accomplishments that most delegates inside the Xcel Energy Arena deeply despise and resent. Campaign-finance restrictions, the Gang of 12 senatorial compromise on new judges, immigration reform, the acknowledgement of global warming — as Senator Joseph Lieberman ticked through the record of John McCain, it was so quiet you could almost hear the hum of the air-conditioning.
Still, a starving man won't pass up gruel just because it's not Mom's pot roast. And after Lieberman gave the delegates that first mouthful of stewed maverick, things started looking up.
She took one of John McCain's biggest weaknesses among Republicans and turned it into a strength. The conservative Christian leader Richard Land has said that what makes the base of the party so uncomfortable with McCain is not so much his unorthodoxy as his sheer unpredictability. They're never sure what he'll do next. But along comes Palin, McCain's wildest move yet — the Top Gun fighter jock, alone in his jet, throwing the stick hard over just to see what might happen — and she turns out to be everything the base could dream of. For at least one night, they saw a Reagan in heels, and they decided maybe they could trust McCain with their real priority: the Supreme Court.
On another level, Palin thrilled the Republicans by showing that Barack Obama has vulnerabilities, and she knows how to poke them. When McCain sprang his surprise choice on the public, the initial analysis held that by putting the rookie Governor of Alaska on the ticket he had erased the issue of experience. But like a lot of early thinking, that was wrong. Palin put the experience issue front and center, because suddenly America was seriously weighing the relative qualifications of the Democratic nominee versus the recent mayor of Wasilla. That's a comparison Obama loses simply by being involved in it.
Still another layer: Palin signaled to a disheartened GOP that there's a future. Republicans know that their party has plunged in popularity, and most of them will agree with John McCain that they have themselves to blame. "We lost the trust of the American people when some Republicans gave in to the temptations of corruption," McCain told the delegates. "We lost their trust when we valued our power over our principles." After decades of promising smaller government, fiscal discipline and military competence, the GOP got the reins of government, expanded its power, blew out the budget and blundered through a war.
In Palin, the dispirited GOP glimpsed the glowing horizon of a brighter tomorrow, whether it's her or someone who comes behind her. Democrats who gathered four years ago in Boston to nominate a candidate they didn't really like, and found their thrill in the eruption of Obama onto the scene should relate.
As for Palin's impact outside the hall, out in America, we'll have to see. An ABC News poll found that half the country believes Palin is unprepared for the vice presidency, a concern that may be more crucial in light of McCain's age. Some critics found her too mean or too right-wing. Over the next two months she will either sweeten or sour with the public, but certainly she will shrink, as the country focuses on the presidential debates. What McCain needed now was a jolt to awaken his own party, and she was it.
Palin's tough tone allowed McCain to deliver the speech he wanted to make, the one holding himself above the bitter business of partisanship. She got that out of the way. She rallied the party while he tried to transcend it. If you were to boil the past two eventful weeks down to their essence, you would have the Democrats wrapping McCain in the dead arms of the Bush presidency, and McCain trying to wriggle free. You'd have Democrats lasering in on the GOP of Rumsfeld, DeLay and Abramoff, and McCain reaching back to remind America of "the party of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Reagan." Give us one more chance, he said, promising to "get back to basics."
In a two-party system, each party must be broad enough to haul in diverse constituencies, so the idea of party unity is inevitably a screen that hides factions and rivalries. In St. Paul, the GOP assembled its screen with more than the usual amount of duct tape and staples showing. If they couldn't agree on politics, they could agree that John McCain is a patriot. They could rally to the conservative dog-whistle of low taxes and free enterprise. They could match the audacity of hope with the audacity of a thrice-married New York City mayor pretending to be horrified by the "cosmopolitan" Obama. They've won seven of the past 10 presidential elections, and as battered and tired as they are, they still know how to get up for the championship game.
A final note, a glance at the forest instead of the trees: No matter how it ends, this contest is now a lock for the history books. Our grandchildren will study it in school. Next January, barring some cataclysm, an oath sworn through the centuries exclusively by white men will be taken by an African-American man or a woman.

WBRV (900 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic rock format. Licensed to Boonville, New York, United States, the station is owned by The Flack Broadcasting Group.

Station history
WBRV AM signed on in the 1950s. The station was built by local newspaper owner Livingston Lansing. The station was a member of the Northeast Radio Network. WBRV-FM, and its repeater WLLG, both act as translators. In May 2007, WBRV became independent and began broadcasting an oldies format. The new station was called "Oldies 900".

On January 1, 2017, WBRV changed formats from classic hits to classic rock, still branded as "The Blizzard" (info taken from stationintel.com).

FM rebroadcasters
In February 2010, Flack Broadcasting acquired a former North Country Public Radio translator after it moved to a more powerful signal. The 105.9 FM translator allows WBRV to be heard more widely 24 hours a day, since WBRV is only allowed a nighttime power of 52 watts. Shortly after signing on the FM translator, WBRV changed its name from "Oldies 900" to "The Blizzard", but kept the same format.

In November 2011, Flack Broadcasting was able to acquire another North Country Public Radio translator that was being upgraded to a more powerful signal. This translator's frequency is 98.3 and should give Lowville, New York a stronger signal.

The New Angry Birds Space NASA Trailer is Pleasantly Ridiculous
Angry Birds Space will be coming out for iOS, Android, Mac and PC next on March 22, the game's developers at Rovio, tell Kotaku.
They lobbed that news our way this morning along with this exclusive trailer that combines official NASA footage with, well... you'll see.
Consider this another tease of the Angry Birds' off-world adventures.
"Our focus is to delight our fans and we're excited to launch Angry Birds Space on multiple platforms," Rovio's North America general manager Andrew Stalbow said in an e-mailed statement. "In the build up to launch, we're going to make a global online announcement on Thursday March 8th at 10 AM New York time on angrybirds.com/space, and we hope our fans from around the world will tune in for what will be an out-of-this-world experience."
And what of other gaming platforms like Wii, Xbox 360, PS3 or the respective handhelds from Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony? Rovio won't say if the game will or won't be coming to those platforms yet. So make sure you have an iPhone, iPad, Android phone or computer if you want to play Angry Birds Space next month.
Rovio is partnering with NASA to promote the game.

Malays will be biggest losers in a May 13 repeat
As the countdown to the elections begins to take place in earnest, we are getting more and more calls from desperate and irresponsible politicians drawing attention to the possibility of a repetition of the infamous May 13 violence if the election results should go against the expectations of various political parties and interests.
The fact that these calls are directed towards the bumiputera component of our population, are expressed in the national language, and are widely carried in the Malay mass media and Internet world makes me suspicious of the intentions of these politicians who claim that they are simply doing Malaysians a favour by warning of the backlash should the election outcome not bring about a continuation of the present power structure.
To my mind, these politicians are not only applying crude pressure on the Malay electorate to vote for them, but they are also blatantly revealing their trump card – that violence, chaos and political instability will automatically erupt in the event that the opposition parties win the elections.
This blackmailing of our electorate as well as incitement of disruptive and hooligan elements in our society is totally unacceptable.
Various groups such as academicians and individual politicians from the opposition have spoken up against such fear mongering in the recent past.
However, not enough has been done by members of the business community and other professional organisations to speak out against these warnings and threats, although they will be the main losers should another May 13 episode takes place.
Much more needs to be done by key stakeholders to condemn the individuals and organisations making these threats as the risk of them becoming self-fulfilling prophesies increases by the day.
Sharizat's not so veiled threat
The latest round of May 13 invocation took place at the Umno general assembly meeting held recently.
In that meeting, the Wanita chief Shahrizat Abdul Jalil (right) warned that the May 13 tragedy might be repeated should Umno became weak and not be able to overcome its challenges.
That this warning was not made obliquely but was served up as part of her written opening speech testifies to the way in which this kind of desperado thinking has become the mainstream in certain political circles.
What is more worrying is that both Najib Abdul Razak and Muhyiddin Yassin as Umno president and deputy president, and more importantly as the prime minister and deputy prime minister, failed to repudiate or rebuke Shahrizat for fear mongering.
Instead the deputy prime minister attempted to defend the speech by explaining that chaos will be inevitable under Pakatan Rakyat rule.
Other Umno leaders, notably Umno vice-president Hishammuddin Hussein (left), have even gone so far as to dismiss the attention brought by Shahrizat's May 13 statement as a case of "spinning" and to put the blame on a pro-opposition media and other opposition elements.
"Shahrizat has already told me that this will be another matter that will be used for spinning by certain quarters, just because it coincides with the general assembly", the country's minister in charge of internal security is reported to have responded in his dismissal of public concern when questioned about it.
Even if it is a case of overreaction by the media and a fearful public, it is hoped that Shahrizat and her colleagues will not play with fire or pander to the psyche of insecurity found in Umno party members by constantly harping on the possible recurrence of 13 May and even worst, by condoning or justifying violent and catastrophic racial riots as they appear to be doing in the run up to the elections.
Aftershocks of electoral violence
Should there be bloodshed and violence arising from the next elections, it will not be non-Malays primarily who will lose out or be hurt by the collapse of the share market and the larger economy as we see a rush to exit the country by local and foreign businesses and investors.
It will be all Malaysians, especially those who are now enjoying the good life. The biggest losers will be the Malays.
Malays must bear in mind that in the 1969 incident while they may have had less to lose, today the situation is completely different.
There is Malay control of a major part of the commanding heights of our economy such as the banks, manufacturing, high-tech industries, and the largest listed companies.
These gains, which have given birth to the creation of a sizable Malay middle and upper class, will be put to great risk should there be another May 13. They may even disappear as the economic aftershocks and loss of economic confidence spiral out of control.
Another May 13 is unthinkable and unforgivable except to those who are so blinded by ambition and their lust for power that they need to keep reminding themselves and their supporters of that horrific possibility.
However, should it happen, unlike in the first May 13 incident, it will be clear as to who are the instigators.
I trust this article will encourage more stakeholders, bankers, business leaders, academicians and leaders of all political parties to speak out and condemn those who are using the threat of another May 13 if there is a change of government.
The Malays must remember that even if Pakatan wins control of the government, there will be more Malay members of Parliament and the Malays are the biggest losers if there is another May 13 riot.

A golden Oktoberfest season: Alpine Village…
A golden Oktoberfest season: Alpine Village launches its 50th year of beer-steeped Bavarian bashes on Friday
This year marks the 50th anniversary of German-themed shopping center Alpine Village, and work is in full force preparing for the annual Oktoberfest celebration in Torrance on Wednesday, September. 5, 2018.
By Nick Green | ngreen@scng.com | Daily Breeze
PUBLISHED: September 6, 2018 at 12:03 pm | UPDATED: September 6, 2018 at 9:41 pm
When Hans Rotter and fellow German immigrants built Alpine Village, the kitschy, but fondly regarded slice of Bavaria in Southern California, they had a modest goal.
"I needed a place to play soccer," Rotter was quoted from his own obituary in the Palos Verdes Peninsula News that appeared shortly after his death at age 83 in July at his Rolling Hills home.
But in the intervening half century, Rotter's Alpine Village evolved into one of the major German-American cultural centers in Southern California. It's best known as the home of one of the nation's largest annual Oktoberfest celebrations – attracting more than 50,000 people each year. The beer-steeped Bavarian bash celebrates it 50th anniversary on Friday.

The golden celebration season begins at 6 p.m. Friday when Carson Mayor Al Robles and Torrance counterpart Pat Furey tap a ceremonial beer keg. The North Torrance Reserve Officers' Training Corps Color Guard will lead the march to the tent, while festmeisters Hans and Gretel return this year after a brief absence.
Then, as always, the parties will kick in at the Village every Friday and Saturday night and all-day Sunday over the next two months.
Alpine Village, which sits just outside Torrance, held its first Oktoberfest Sept. 26-28, 1969, attracting 32,000 celebrants. And they're been Oom-Pah-Pah-ing ever since.
The shopping center is best known for:
Its huge beer hall, which can accommodate hundreds of fans who gather for German national soccer team games;
And a store that imports German goods and makes its own award-winning sausages and other meats.
These days, Oktoberfest is held in a giant tent erected on the 13-acre site.
"I think we're the only (American Oktoberfest) that tries to emulate the Munich experience by having a large tent," said General Manager Anton Tabar.
Alpine Village's 21 and over (except Sundays) Oktoberfest strives for authenticity.
For example, two German Oom-Pah-Pah bands – with more than a dozen members apiece – are imported for the occasion. Each plays four weeks of the event, leading such traditions as the audience-participation "chicken dance."
This year, Paulaner beer, imported from Germany, will help wash down those giant pretzels and pork schnitzel.
The South Bay's increasing taste for craft beer will also be sated. Inglewood's Three Weav3rs will bring its Expatriate India Pale Ale, while San Diego's Alpine Beer Co., will contribute its Windows Up IPA.

Rotter may be gone, but his legacy lives on at Alpine Village, especially during Oktoberfest.
"It was his vision way back when," Tabar said. "It has really evolved over the years but it keeps plugging away.

This set of 32 task cards is perfect to go along with your unit on weather. It can be used for students to work independently or with a partner. I have used the cards in centers, for review games with teams, or in a game of Scoot. This set covers the essential academic weather vocabulary for elementary students. The concepts covered are: the steps of the water cycle; the three states of water; weather tools; types of clouds; and climates of regions.

Ørsted records 11% profit increase in first half of 2020 despite pandemic
The firm's earnings from offshore and onshore wind farms in operation increased by 17% over the period

Wind energy firm Ørsted reported it has been able to deliver strong results for the first half-year of 2020, with operating profits going up by 11%.
Earnings from offshore and onshore wind farms in operation increased by 17% to DKK8.2 billion (£990m), driven by high wind speeds and the ramp-up of power generation from wind projects, including Hornsea One.
During the first six months of the year, the company's power generation also increased from 82% to 88%.
However, the Danish business says Covid-19 has dramatically affected European power markets, especially the UK, due to lower electricity demand – the negative impact on the second-quarter earnings of the company amounted to DKK150 million (£18m).
The firm now expects an increased risk of delays, especially at Hornsea Two project.
Henrik Poulsen, CEO and President of Ørsted, said: "Our business model and organisation have proven very resilient and we remain confident about the company's ability to deliver on both its short term and long term performance targets.
"We continue to see strong political and public support for an accelerated transition to green energy and Ørsted's long-term growth prospects are as strong as ever."

You cannot judge food by its size. Seeds are known to be nutritional powerhouses.
Just a small pinch of them is loaded with minerals, vitamins, and essential nutrients. Also, they are easy to add into any diet.
Hemp seeds are a good source of omega-3, omega-6 fatty acids and protein. They also contain phytosterols, which are plant-based compounds that help lower cholesterol levels.
You can toss them in your shakes, salads, smoothies, or sprinkle over yogurt or cereal. They can also add texture to baked goods.
Chia seeds have nearly 11 grams of fiber per ounce. The more fiber you consume, the lower your risk of chronic diseases and it also helps lower your blood sugar.
You can try them as chia pudding or just mixed into meatballs.
Flaxseeds are a great source of soluble fiber, which helps in lowering cholesterol, it also makes you feel fuller longer and helps in stabilizing blood sugar levels.
Flax seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acid, which benefits brain and eye health, and also help lower triglycerides. Also, they are high in lignans, a plant-like form of estrogen, which help prevent certain cancers.
Flax seed shells are hard, you can grind them in a blender or coffee grinder. You can add the seeds to shakes, smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, casseroles, cereal, and when baking.
Pumpkin seeds or also known as pepitas, are a source of B vitamins, magnesium, iron, zinc and protein, and are rich in the amino acid tryptophan, which may help lower anxiety.
Also, pumpkin seeds have high levels of essential fatty acids that help keep blood vessels healthy and lower bad cholesterol.
You can snack on these seeds raw or roasted. You can even add them to granola bars, or use to garnish soup.
Sunflowers are an excellent source of B vitamins, including folate and vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage, helps maintain healthy skin and and may work to prevent cancer. Also these seeds are rich in protein and heart-healthy fats.
You can eat them by the handful, or add them to muffins or cookies, salads, and stir-fries.
Sesame seeds are a good source of magnesium, calcium, fiber, zinc, B1, iron and phosphorus. These seeds can lower blood pressure, and protect against liver damage.
Also, sesame seeds have also been linked to prevention of many diseases such as asthma, arthritis, menopause, migraine headaches, osteoporosis and may even reduce PMS symptoms.

Human Rights in China protests and condemns the prolonged-detention and persecution of Tashi Wangchuk, who peacefully advocated for a genuine bilingual education in Tibetan areas so that the Tibetan language and culture may be preserved.
HRIC stands in solidarity with the Tibetan community in demanding the immediate and unconditional release of Tashi Wangchuk.
Article 4 of the Chinese Constitution guarantees the freedom of all of China's nationalities to use their languages and preserve their customs.
To try Tashi Wangchuk for "inciting separatism" for exercising a constitutionally guaranteed right makes a mockery of China's Constitution. His prosecution adds another glaring example to the Chinese authorities' misuse of the judicial system as an instrument of oppression. It highlights, again, the Chinese government's systematic trampling on the fundamental rights—including cultural, religious, and political rights—of the Tibetan people.
In the upcoming UN reviews of China's human rights record, the international community must address China's ongoing impunity and press China harder to respect its obligations under the international human rights framework.

Gin Rummy is a form of the rummy game where players place cards into sets and runs.
The object of the game is to collect a hand where most or all of the cards can be combined into sets and runs and the point value of the remaining unmatched cards is low.
Note that in Gin Rummy the Ace is always low. A-2-3 is a valid sequence but A-K-Q is not.
You can place mate sets or run sets in the red bordered boxes above your cards to better organize your hand.
App crashes on every play. Very simple and archaic app. Much better free ones out there. Too bad. It has a better 'computer' player than most. Deleting app.
I like the idea that I can move my melds as I wish. However, the pop asking me if I need the card that was discarded is very annoying. Also, I would prefer to tap on the deck to get my own card rather than have it moved automatically.


Every year at the Winter Meetings, MLB general managers are scrambling for supremacy. Whether it's pulling off a blockbuster trade or landing a big free agent, they are constantly looking for a way to gain the upper hand.
Christmas comes early for some. Others board their flight from Orlando wondering what could have been. This year, the stakes are even higher.
Shohei Ohtani is far from your typical free agent. This year's most coveted prize has yet to play a single Major League Baseball game.
But he is an incredibly rare find — a two-way player who projects as both a pitcher and hitter at the Major League level.
Ohtani, 23, has made his mark in the NPB, Japan's highest level of professional baseball. In 2016, he posted a 1.86 ERA with 174 strikeouts in 140 innings. He dominated with an arsenal that includes 89 mph sliders and a 94 mph forkball. At the plate, he hit .322 with 18 doubles, 22 home runs, and a .416 on-base percentage.
These numbers are reminiscent of someone who is way above their league's level of competition. You know, the oversized Little Leaguer who's father held him back a year so he barely makes the age cut-off.
Sure, professional baseball has seen players make an attempt to play both ways, but this kind of two-way success is unprecedented.
It is downright scary to think of Othani's potential, given that the NPB is projected between Triple-A and the MLB in terms of competition. The hype surrounding Ohtani has reached mythical proportions.
He's been called a superhero. He's been compared to Babe Ruth. His combined Wins Above Replacement, between pitching and hitting, was roughly equivalent to Mike Trout's best season.
But will the legend of Shohei Ohtani live up to the hype? At least one general manger thinks so. On a new podcast, Seattle Mariners' GM Jerry Dipoto said the team is going all out to land Ohtani.
History has shown that hype doesn't always equal success. Expectations rarely become a reality. Numbers don't always translate. In the past, pitchers who have come over from Japan have found varying degrees of success.
Masahiro Tanaka posted a 24-0 record with a 1.27 ERA in his final NPB season before signing a seven-year deal with the Yankees. He was an All-Star in his first big league season but struggled in 2017.
Hisashi Iwakuma signed with the Mariners after receiving Japan's Cy Young equivalent as well as a Pacific League MVP. He has been satisfactory for Seattle through six seasons, finishing third in Cy Young voting in his best year.
Yu Darvish is one pitcher who has actually lived up to lofty expectations. In the NPB, Darvish went 5 straight seasons with a sub-2 ERA and at least 160 strikeouts. He took the strikeout title three times and was named Pacific League MVP twice.
In the MLB, he has been to 4 All-Star games, finished in the top-10 of Cy Young voting twice, and helped lead the Dodgers to the World Series this past season.
For Ohtani to follow suit would be a remarkable feat. Still, scouts would be disappointed if he didn't show elite hitting ability on top of that. No matter how you spin it, Ohtani is facing massive expectations.
His move to the Majors is unprecedented. We have not seen a two-way player of his ability in a long time. Will he succeed or will he disappoint? Time will tell.
Either way, Ohtani's arrival will make for a fun 2018 season.


Install tile vertically instead of horizontally to make a space appear taller.
Glass shelves can maximize storage space without adding to visual clutter.
Splurge on higher-end features like a decorative vessel sink or tile and avoid clutter to focus the eye in your small bath space.
Pocket or barn doors that slide are a great way to keep a door from intruding into a small bath space. Since the door won't need to open into the space, you will have more room to move around.
Use a mirrored wall to create the illusion of a much larger bathroom. An interesting wall mirror can is add light and utility as well.
A frameless or semi-frameless glass shower makes a small bathroom look more open and expansive.
A round mirror and vessel sink enliven a small bathroom.

These words of Jesus, spoken just hours before He would be arrested and crucified, speak of His concern and love for the disciples, and also His care of us – the ones who would believe. They also show that He knows just how the human heart operates!
What does it mean to have a troubled heart? The word means "to agitate, to cause one inward commotion, to take away calmness of mind, make restless, to render anxious or distressed." It can mean "to strike one's spirit with fear or dread." A troubled heart is that inner conflict, often a physical sensation, that causes us to doubt and fear.
We live in a troubling world. Our culture is accelerating in its decline, sinking farther and farther into immorality and depravity. The line between good and evil, right and wrong is blurred. We wonder how we will be able to teach our children and grandchildren what is true. We wonder what is ahead for our nation and our world.
What is the antidote to a troubled heart? Believe in God. Believe in Jesus.
Did you know that Jesus experienced His own troubled heart, so that we could trade ours for His peace? He says in John 12:27, "Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, 'Father, save Me from this hour?' But for this purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name." Jesus' work – His mission – His purpose in coming, purchased our peace. Peace with God, and the peace of God for this troubling world. The key to accessing that peace? Believe.
Are you troubled? Fearful? Anxious? Depressed? Experiencing the peace of God is a matter of faith. It's choosing to believe that His word is true, that He is who He says He is. After Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, the disciples still had to be reminded. Jesus stood before them in a resurrected, glorified human body, and they still doubted. They were still troubled. What does Jesus have to do for you, before you will believe, and experience the peace He offers?
As believers, we have the answer to the world's troubles. Let's act like we truly believe the message of the Resurrection. Let's live a life of bold and confident faith in a risen Savior, so that the world around us will see and experience the peace He offers.


Monica Pignotti has already exceeded her record for Internet posts in April, and it is only the 6th of April.
Monica Pignotti does a lot of talking about her advocacy work.
Where, please, it is it exactly?
Once a staunch supporter of the Larry Sarner and Linda Rosa "we funded it with voting machine money" crowd, Pignotti seems to be on her own again.
Apart from self-serving blogs, it is hard to tell what she is doing.
Can anyone show us a child she has helped?

Thank you for signing the Guest Book for William Stulpin Jr.
Please take a moment to sign the Guest Book for William Stulpin Jr.
Please accept my condolences in the loss of your son, brother, husband, father and uncle. Though it's been many years since I last saw Chris, I knew his face as soon as I saw his picture. I can still remember him from school and from the time I spent at the Stulpin household. Those were my younger years and some of my best years. I will be holding you close in my thoughts and praying for you during this difficult time.
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers at the most difficult time.
Fran and I send our most sincere condolences to all the members of Chris' family as they mourn his unexpected death at such a young age. "Stippy" (as we always affectionately referred to him) was a Newport HS classmate of our oldest son, Tom and visited our home (the Episcopal Church Rectory) regularly. I remember particularly always asking him how he was doing in school when he would come calling to our door and Tom would often tell me to stop asking him so many questions (I had an inquiring mind with a protective intent for all of our son's friends especially during their teen years). His untimely death brings back many happy memories of our 30 years in Newport and we pray that all his family and loved ones will know the consolation of God's ever-present mercy and love as they mourn his loss. May Stippy enjoy eternal rest and peace in God's presence.
Sorry to hear about the sudden loss of your brother and son. I know at this time we are saddened for the loss of are loved one but it 's also time to remember good things. I know there where lots of them. How time does fly. It's hard to believe that it has been 40+ years since we where am growing up fast in a slow moving newport Perry county. But as I look back now and reflect on it they where great times and made great memories and in this time of sadness we just need to remember them times to get us through the difficult times. Pam,Cindy,and Ann I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Send me a daily email when updates are made to the obituary or Condolence page for William Stulpin Jr..
