THE SOURCE OF TEMPTATIONS AND THE REALITY OF SIN.
THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE DETERMINIST.
"Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to them that love Him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, and He Himself tempteth no man: but each man is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed. Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is full-grown, bringeth forth death. Be not deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect boon is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of His creatures."—St. James i. 12-18.
After the slight digression respecting the short-lived glory of the rich man, St. James returns once more to the subject with which the letter opens—the blessing of trials and temptations as opportunities of patience, and the blessedness of the man who endures them, and thus earns "the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them that love Him." These last words are very interesting as being a record of some utterance of Christ's not preserved in the Gospels, of which we have perhaps other traces elsewhere in the New Testament (1 Pet. v. 4; Rev. ii. 10; 2 Tim. iv. 8).4545 In the Acta Philippi, Apocal. Apocr., ed. Tischendorf, p. 147, we have, "Blessed is he who hath his raiment white; for he it is who receiveth the crown of joy." See A. Resch, Agrapha; Aussercanonische Evangelienfragmente (Leipzig, 1889), p. 254. They 90 imply a principle which qualifies what goes before, and leads on to what follows. The mere endurance of temptations and afflictions will not win the promised crown, unless temptations are withstood, and afflictions endured in the right spirit. The proud self-reliance and self-repression of the Stoic has nothing meritorious about it. These trials must be met in a spirit of loving trust in the God who sends or allows them. It is only those who love and trust God who have the right to expect anything from His bounty. This St. James continually insists on. Let not the double-minded man, with his affections and loyalty divided between God and Mammon, "think that he shall receive anything of the Lord" (i. 7). God has chosen the poor who are "rich in faith" to be "heirs of the kingdom which He promised to them that love Him" (ii. 5). And this love of God is quite incompatible with love of the world. "Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God" (iv. 4).
It is the loving withstanding of temptation, then, that wins the crown of life: the mere being tempted tends rather to death. "Lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is full-grown, bringeth forth death." With these facts before him, the loving Christian will never say, when temptations come, that they come from God. It cannot be God's will to seduce him from the path of life to the path of death. The existence of temptations is no just ground of complaint against God. Such complaints are an attempt to shift the blame from himself to his Creator. The temptations proceed, not from God, but from the man's own evil nature; a nature which God created stainless, 91 but which man of his own free will has debased. To tempt is to try to lead astray; and one has only to understand the word in its true sense to see how impossible it is that God should become a tempter. By a simple but telling opposition of words St. James indicates where the blame lies. God "Himself tempteth no man (πειράζει δὲ αὐτὸς οὐδένα); but each man is tempted when by his own lust he is drawn away and enticed" (ὑπὸ τῆς ἰδίας ἐπιθυμίας ἐξελκόμενος καὶ δελεαζόμενος). It is his own evil desire which plays the part of the temptress, drawing him out from his place of safety by the enticement of sinful pleasure.4646 The punctuation and order of words in both A.V. and R.V. seem to be faulty: "enticed," quite as much as "drawn away," belongs to "by his own lust." Moreover, the metaphor is not seduction from the right road, but alluring out of security into danger. So that the fault is in a sense doubly his. The desire which tempts proceeds from his own evil nature, and the will which consents to the temptress is his own. Throughout the passage St. James represents the evil desire as playing the part of Potiphar's wife. The man who withstands such temptation is winning the promised crown of life; the man who yields has for the offspring of his error death. The one result is in accordance with God's will, as is proved by His promising and bestowing the crown; the other is not, but is the natural and known consequence of the man's own act.
At the present time there is a vehement effort being made in some quarters to shift the blame of man's wrong-doing, if not on to God (and He is commonly left out of the account, as unknown or non-existing), at any rate on to those natural laws which determine phenomena. We are asked to believe that such ideas 92 as moral freedom and responsibility are mere chimæras, and that the first thing which a reasonable person has to do, in raising himself to a higher level, is to get rid of them. He is to convince himself that character and conduct are the necessarily evolved result of inherited endowments, developed in certain circumstances, over neither of which the man has any control. He did not select the qualities of body and mind which he received from his parents, and he did not make the circumstances in which he has had to live since his birth. He could no more help acting as he did on any given occasion than he could help the size of his heart or the colour of his brain. He is no more responsible for the acts which he produces than a tree is responsible for its leaves. And of all senseless delusions and senseless wastes of power, those which are involved in the feeling of remorse are the worst. In remorse we wring our hands over deeds which we could not possibly have avoided doing, and reproach ourselves for emitting what we could not by any possibility have done. Ethiopians might as reasonably blame themselves for their black skins, or be conscience-stricken for not having golden hair, as any human being feel remorse for what he has done or left undone in the past. Whatever folly a man may have committed, he eclipses it all by the folly of self-reproach.
Positivism will indeed have worked marvels when it has driven remorse out of the world; and until it has succeeded in doing so, it will remain confronted by an unanswerable proof—as universal as the humanity which it professes to worship—that its moral system is based upon a falsehood. Whether or no we admit the belief in a God, the fact of self-reproach in every human heart remains to be accounted for. And it is 93 a fact of the most enormous proportions. Think of the years of mental agony and moral torture which countless numbers of the human race have endured since man became a living soul, because men have invariably reproached themselves with the folly and wickedness which they have committed. Think of the exquisite suffering which remorse has inflicted on every human being who has reached years of reflexion. Think of the untold misery which the misdeeds of men have inflicted upon those who love and would fain respect them. It may be doubted whether all other forms of human suffering, whether mental or bodily, are more than as a drop in the ocean, compared with the agonies which have been endured through the gnawing pangs of remorse for personal misconduct, and of shame and grief for the misconduct of friends and relations. And if the Determinist is right, all this mental torture, with its myriad stabs and stings through centuries of centuries, is based on a monstrous delusion. These bitter reproachers of themselves and of those dearest to them might have been spared it all, if only they had known that not one of the acts thus blamed and lamented in tears of blood could have been avoided.
Certainly the Positivist, who shuts God out from his consideration, has a difficult problem to solve, when he is asked how he accounts for a delusion so vast, so universal, and so horrible in its consequences; and we do not wonder that he should exhaust all the powers of rhetoric and invective in the attempt to exorcize it. But his difficulty is as nothing compared with the difficulties of a thinker who endeavours to combine Determinism with Theism, and even with Christianity. What sort of a God can He be who has allowed, who 94 has even ordained, that every human heart should be wrung with this needless, senseless agony? Has any savage, any inquisitor, ever devised torture so diabolical? And what kind of a Saviour and Redeemer can He be who has come from heaven, and returned thither again, without saying one word to free men from their blind, self-inflicted agonies; who, on the contrary, has said many things to confirm them in their delusions? Whence came moral evil and the pangs of remorse, if there is no such thing as free will? They must have been fore-ordained and created by God. The Theist has no escape from that. If God made man free, and man by misusing his freedom brought sin into the world, and remorse as a punishment for sin, then we have some explanation of the mystery of evil. God neither willed it nor created it; it was the offspring of a free and rebellious will. But if man was never free, and there is no such thing as sin, then the madman gnawing his own limbs in his frenzy is a reasonable being and a joyous sight, compared with the man who gnaws his own heart in remorse for the deeds which the inexorable laws of his own nature compelled him, and still compel him, to commit.
Is there, or is there not, such a thing as sin? That is the question which lies at the bottom of the error against which St. James warns his readers, and of the doctrines which are advocated at the present time by Positivists and all who deny the reality of human freedom and responsibility. To say that when we are tempted we are tempted by God, or that the Power which brought us into existence has given us no freedom to refuse the evil and to choose the good, is to say that sin is a figment of the human mind, and that a conscious revolt of the human mind against the 95 power of holiness is impossible. On such a question the appeal to human language, of which Aristotle is so fond, seems to be eminently suitable; and the verdict which it gives is overwhelming. There is probably no language, there is certainly no civilized language, which has no word to express the idea of sin. If sin is an illusion, how came the whole human race to believe in it, and to frame a word to express it?4747 See R. H. Hutton on The Service of Man, in the Contemporary Review, April, 1887, p. 492. Can we point to any other word in universal, or even very general use, which nevertheless represents a mere chimæra, believed in as real, but actually non-existent? And let us remember that this is no case in which self-interest, which so fatally warps our judgment, can have led the whole human race astray. Self-interest would lead us entirely in the opposite direction. There is no human being who would not enthusiastically welcome the belief that what seem to him to be grievous sins are no more a matter of reproach to him than the beatings of his heart or the winkings of his eyes. Sometimes the conscience-stricken offender, in his efforts to excuse his acts before the judgment-seat of his higher self, tries to believe this. Sometimes the Determinist philosopher endeavours to prove to him that he ought to believe it. But the stern facts of his own nature and the bitter outcome of all human experience are too strong for such attempts. In spite of all specious excuses, and all plausible statements of philosophic difficulties, his conscience and his consciousness compel him to confess, "It was my own lust that enticed me, and my own will that consented."
How serious St. James considers the error of attempting to make God responsible for our temptations is 96 shown both by the earnest and affectionate insertion of "Be not deceived,4848 Or, "led astray" (πλανᾶσθε). The word implies fundamental departure from the truth (v. 19; John vii. 47; 1 John i. 8; ii. 26; iii. 7; Rev. xviii. 23). my beloved brethren," and also by the pains which he takes to disprove the error. After having shown the true source of temptation, and explained the way in which sin and death are generated, he points out how incredible it is on other grounds that God should become a tempter. How can the Source of every good gift and every perfect boon4949 The words form an hexameter in the original, which may be either accidental or a quotation: πᾶσα δόσις ἀγαθὴ καὶ πᾶν δώρημα τελειον ("Every gift that is good, and every boon that is perfect"). be also a source of temptations to sin? How can the Father of lights be one who would lead away His creatures into darkness? If what we know of human nature ought to tell us whence temptations to sin are likely to come, what we know of God's nature and of His dealings with mankind ought to tell us whence such things are not likely to come.
And He is far above those heavenly luminaries of which He is the Author. They are not always bright, and are therefore very imperfect symbols of His holiness. In their revolutions they are sometimes overshadowed. The moon is not always at the full, the sun is sometimes eclipsed, and the stars suffer changes in like manner. In Him there is no change, no loss of light, no encroachment of shadow. There is never a time at which one could say that through momentary diminution in holiness it had become possible for Him to become a tempter.
Nor are the brightness and beneficence which pervade the material universe the chief proofs of God's goodness 97 and of the impossibility of temptations to sin proceeding from Him. It was "of His own will" that He rescued mankind from the state of death into which their rebellious wills had brought them, and by a new revelation of Himself in "the Word of truth," i.e. the Gospel, brought them forth again, born anew as Christians, to be, like the first-born under the Law, "a kind of first-fruits of His creatures."5050 See F. D. Maurice, Unity of the N.T. (Parker, 1854), pp. 320-23.
When, therefore, we sum up all the known facts of the case, there is only one conclusion at which we can justly arrive. There is the nature of God, so far as it is known to us, utterly opposed to evil. There is the nature of man, as it has been debased by himself, constantly bringing forth evil. There is God's goodness, as manifested in the creation of the universe and in the regeneration of man. It is a hopeless case to try to banish remorse by making God responsible for man's temptations and sin.
There is only one way of getting rid of remorse, and that is to confess sin—to confess its reality, to confess it to God, and if need be to man. No man ever yet succeeded in justifying himself by laying the blame of his sins on God. But he may do so by laying the sins themselves upon "the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world," and by washing his stained robes, "and making them white in the blood of the Lamb." That done, remorse will have no power over him; and instead of fruitlessly accusing God, and seeking vain substitutes for the service of God, he will humbly "give Him glory," and "serve Him day and night in His temple" (Joshua vii. 19; Rev. vii. 15).
Note.—The difficult expression (τροπῆς ἀποσκίασμα) rendered in the Authorized Version "shadow of turning," and in the Revised "shadow that is cast by turning," has received a great variety of translations and explanations. The Old Latin, modicum obumbrationis, like the Greek commentators, makes ἀποσκίασμα = σκιά = "shade, trace, small amount." It is doubtful whether the rare compound ἀποσκίασμα ever acquired this meaning; but the opinion of Greeks on this point is of great weight, and certainly this meaning makes good sense. The Vulgate, vicissitudinis obumbratio, is as difficult as the Greek; and Augustine's momenti obumbratio comes from the false reading ῥοπῆς. "Shadow cast by turning" does not seem to be very helpful, whether we interpret "turning" to mean the revolutions of the sun or of the earth, or the changes of nature generally. Perhaps the genitive is the genitive of quality, "shadow of change" for "changing shadow;" so Stier and Theil, wechselnde Beschattung, and Stolz abwechselnde Verdunkelung. Comp. ἀκροατὴς ἐπιλησμονῆς (i. 25), and, see the Expositor, Sept. 1889, pp. 228-30.
45 In the Acta Philippi, Apocal. Apocr., ed. Tischendorf, p. 147, we have, "Blessed is he who hath his raiment white; for he it is who receiveth the crown of joy." See A. Resch, Agrapha; Aussercanonische Evangelienfragmente (Leipzig, 1889), p. 254.
46 The punctuation and order of words in both A.V. and R.V. seem to be faulty: "enticed," quite as much as "drawn away," belongs to "by his own lust." Moreover, the metaphor is not seduction from the right road, but alluring out of security into danger.

Transcendental meditation method was first introduced by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the late 1950's. This is a type of meditation that provides the improvement of an individual person by that persons own efforts through enlightenment.
Official Transcendental Meditation websites state that the technique is a mental technique for deep rest that is related to specific effects on the mind and body. It is practiced by people of all religions and that TM does not require a change in lifestyle, faith or belief to be successful as a relaxation technique.
The practice of TM can help treat stress related problems like hypertension with regular practice. It can help to improve your relationships and your mental capabilities as well. There is an increase in creativity due to your body and mind being so refreshed and relaxed. TM is said to help increase intelligence because the mind is returned to its natural state increasing your alertness.
The practice of this type of meditation is unique and returns the mind and body to a profound state of rested alertness. During its practice there is a deep state of rest for the body while the mind settles to a state of internal calmness. It is said that practitioners of TM have better interpersonal relationships because they radiate an influence of positivity and peace which improve relationships in society. Due to the rested state there is an increase in energy. People who practice TM are said to be biologically young by several years.
The effects of TM have been scientifically studied in more than 200 research institutions and universities in over 30 countries. Major scientific journals have published their findings. In all, over 500 studies have been conducted on the sociological, psychological and physiological effects of the program. The results show that with regular practice Transcendental Meditation is very beneficial in that the deep rest received by the body and the mind with its practice eliminates the mental stress and physical fatigue of the body.
When the mind and the body are rejuvenated, it will lead to improved health. Improved health provides the basis for a more dynamic, productive, and satisfying life. You will experience increased self esteem and self confidence. You will have less anxiety, improved problem solving abilities and warmer relationships. All of these benefits can be achieved with regular practice of Transcendental meditation and will bring more satisfaction and happiness into your daily life.

Q: Is the torus the union of two connected, simply-connected open sets? Is the torus the union of two connected, simply-connected open sets? A routine computation with the Mayer-Vietoris sequence shows that if so, then their intersection must have exactly three components.
Also, exactly one of the components must have $H_1=\mathbb{Z}$; the other two must be homologically trivial. (That's assuming that $H_2(X)=0$ for any proper open subset $X$ of the torus, which seems obvious.)

A: Edit: The answer is still negative. What you have to use is the Lusternik-Shnirelmann category $cat(X)$:
Definition. $cat(X)$ for a topological space $X$ is the least number of contractible open sets needed to cover $X$.
It is known that $cat(T^n)=n+1$, see here. Thus, you cannot cover 2-torus with two simply-connected open sets (since such sets are contractible).

A: Suppose the torus is the union of simply connected open sets $A,B$. We have that those sets are manifolds which are not compact, and hence have trivial $H_2$. Since they are simply-connected, we infer that they are acyclic. But if $X=U \cup V$ with $U,V$ open acyclic sets, then $\alpha \cup \beta=0$ (cup product) for all $\alpha,\beta \in H^*(X)$ of positive degree*. However, we can generate $H^2(T^2) \neq 0$ with some $\alpha,\beta \in H^1(T^2)$ via cup product.
*You can see this in Bredon, page 332.

Israeli hurt in car collision with P.A. prime minister's convoy
JERUSALEM (JTA) — An Israeli man was seriously injured in a head-on collision with a car from the Palestinian Authority prime minister's convoy at a West Bank junction.
In the Saturday afternoon accident, the car from the convoy of Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah slammed into a vehicle carrying an Israeli couple and their four children, Ynet reported.
The convoy was returning to Ramallah and the P.A. vehicle crossed into the lane of oncoming traffic while trying to pass other cars, according to Ynet.
The family was taken to Hadassah-Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem.
Hamdallah was riding in another car in the convoy at the time of the accident at the Tekoa Junction in the Gush Etzion bloc in the West Bank.
Three Palestinian security guards also were injured and were taken to a Hebron hospital.

Which downtown locations were special to early Faribault residents?
The Opera House
Prior to the construction of Faribault's Opera House in 1893, entertainment events were held in a variety of "halls" around the city. The name "opera" was used, although the shows were considerably more diverse, because the term "theater" was not considered refined enough.
From 1893 to 1899, the Opera House was the site of Shakespearean plays, lectures, Minneapolis Symphony concerts and an actual opera or two.
Like many other midwestern Opera Houses , it was converted to a moving picture venue (called the Grand Theater) in 1908 before succumbing to fire in 1927. (In 1884, this site, now home to the Paramount Theater building, housed a roller skating rink at the height of a national craze for this activity.)
The Olympia Cafe
In 1908, Greek immigrant Gus Boosalis and his wife Mary came to Faribault and opened a cafe, fruit store and confectionary (candy store) in the Cosgrove Glass Block building at the corner of 4th and Central. The store later expanded to include an ice cream parlor and dining area, specializing in homemade candy and ice cream.
Their sons followed in the Boosalis' footsteps, and the family served the community for over 70 years. In 1983 the business was purchased and renamed Central Station.

Spoiler Alert: Eurovision 2013 Winner Announced
John Ritchie May. 19, 2013
Emmelie de Forest has won the 2013 Eurovision Song Competition for Denmark with her song Only Teardrops. In a bizarre situation, the host of the event announced Denmark as the winner before the remaining votes from Cyprus and Croatia were counted. With Denmark 47 votes ahead of second place this didn't turn out to be a problem.
20-year-old De Forest was the bookies favourite leading into the final. Speaking on Danish Television, De Forest said "This is totally fantastic…I'm so happy".
Azerbaijan's Farid Mammadov came in second and Ukraine's Zlata Ognevich was third with the song Gravity.

Bulgarian nationality law is governed by the Constitution of Bulgaria (article 25 and 26) of 1991 and the citizenship law of 1999 (with changes made in various years through to 2009).

It is mainly based on jus sanguinis; however, it is possible to obtain citizenship after 5 years of residence in Bulgaria. Naturalisation is available on the basis of residence in certain types of status; marriage or on the basis of origin or at the discretion of the government of Bulgaria to persons of merit. The Bulgarian Ministry of Justice is in charge of processing citizenship applications.

Every Bulgarian citizen is also a citizen of the European Union.

Acquisition of Bulgarian citizenship

Bulgarian citizenship can be acquired in the following ways:

 : By descent if at least one of the parents is a Bulgarian citizen;
 : By birth in Bulgaria (unless citizenship of another country has been acquired by descent), or a child found in Bulgaria whose parents are unknown;
 By naturalisation: If the applicant:
 is 18 or older;
 has been a holder of a long-term or permanent residence permit for at least 5 years, or 3 years if the applicant is married to a Bulgarian national, was born in Bulgaria, or settled in the country before the age of 18;
 has not been convicted of a premeditated crime;
 has a source of income or a trade and can financially support themselves;
 has a good command of the Bulgarian language.

Dual citizenship
Bulgaria permits dual citizenship only for native-born citizens, citizens of the EU, EEA and Switzerland, as well as spouses of Bulgarian citizens. Naturalised citizens who do not belong to at least one of the aforementioned groups, are required to give up all other nationalities. Those who previously renounced their Bulgarian citizenship are allowed to get it reinstated. Some countries do not permit multiple citizenship e.g. adults who have acquired Bulgarian and Japanese citizenship by birth must declare, to the latter's Ministry of Justice, before turning 22, which citizenship they want to keep.

Citizenship of the European Union
Since Bulgaria is member of the European Union, Bulgarian citizens are also citizens of the European Union under European Union law and thus have the right of freedom of movement within the EU and have the right to vote in elections for the European Parliament. When in a non-EU country where there is no Bulgarian embassy or representation, Bulgarian citizens have the right to receive consular protection from the embassy of any other EU country present in that third country. Bulgarian citizens can live and work in any country within the EU and EFTA as a result of the right of free movement and residence granted in Article 21 of the EU Treaty.

Travel freedom of Bulgarian citizens

Visa requirements for Bulgarian citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Bulgaria. In 2015, Bulgarian citizens had visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 150 countries and territories, ranking the Bulgarian passport 18th in the world according to the Visa Restrictions Index.

In 2017, the Bulgarian nationality is ranked twenty-sixth in the Nationality Index (QNI). This index differs from the Visa Restrictions Index, which focuses on external factors including travel freedom. The QNI considers, in addition to travel freedom, on internal factors such as peace & stability, economic strength, and human development as well.

Presidential Candidate Julián Castro: "I Don't Consider Atheism a Dirty Word" October 25, 2019 Hemant Mehta
Presidential Candidate Julián Castro: "I Don't Consider Atheism a Dirty Word"
Just days after he got Sen. Elizabeth Warren to say she'd consider hiring a Secular Outreach Director for her presidential campaign, Justin Scott, the Iowa State Director for American Atheists, had a chance to speak to former Obama Cabinet member and current presidential candidate Julián Castro during a meeting at the University of Northern Iowa.
He asked Castro what he would say to Hispanic Americans who are atheists, how he might bring atheists into his administration, and how he planned to work with or against the Religious Right. As with any politician, Castro was careful not to alienate potential voters, but he made it clear that atheism wasn't going to be taboo in his White House.
SCOTT: … I am a homegrown Iowan and I'm also an atheist. I love that when you announced that you're running, you shared that your Catholic faith is very important to you. I think there is a stereotype, though, that all Latinos are Catholic, or all Latinos are religious.
CASTRO: Sure.
SCOTT: I am curious if you can speak to the Latinos around the country, and around the world, that are giving up on religion, that identify as non-religious, or even the scary word "atheist." I'm curious how you would bring those in under your administration — and also, if you don't mind, how do you plan on working with or against the Religious Right as they continue their assault on basically everything, especially science?
CASTRO: Yeah, no, thank you for the question. I mean, I would begin by saying that I don't consider atheism a scary word. You know, I respect people's right to choose to believe or not to believe, and maybe more importantly, I believe that our Constitution sets out that right, and that it's important that we recognize that. You know, you're correct that I grew up Catholic. My mother went to 16 straight years of Catholic school! i went to one, and that was enough. [Laughter]
… My faith shaped, I think, my values. And the things that I've always liked about the Catholic faith center around social justice, especially. The things that have concerned me about faith, especially faith in politics over the years, is that I believe that too often, it's been used as a wedge, to teach some people that you should hate this group over here or that this group over here is the other. And I wish, oftentimes, that we would use our faith to embrace humanity, embrace people who are different from us, and also to preach about the freedom of people to believe what they should — or, you know, what they choose.
And so, you know, the commitment that I make is respecting everybody's rights in the country, and being inclusive and thinking about people who choose not to believe, and that they are citizens in our democracy, participants in our democracy, like anybody else.
I also will say that that I would not hold that against somebody when considering them for appointments, involving them in the administration or, you know, crafting policy or anything like that… That is the perspective and that's one of the reasons that our country is a great country that it is, is because people can choose to not believe as well.
SCOTT: Absolutely. Any thoughts about the Religious Right? And the reason I ask that is if we're going to bring more people in, especially atheistic and non-religious Hispanics and Latinos, they're going to be the majority in our country, which I think we can celebrate. If 1 in 5, according to Pew Research… says that 1 in 5 Latinos is non-religious, that number's going to explode in the next couple of decades…
CASTRO: Yeah, no, I mean, I think that there are a lot of Latinos that feel like this administration has put a target on their back. And the fact is, unfortunately, although I had hoped otherwise, at least some of the leadership in the Religious Right is abetting this president as he does that — as he otherizes the Latino community, and especially immigrants.
For those Latinos, what I see up there in the Latino community, I mean, I do see… obviously, you have a lot of Catholics that are Latino. You also have a lot that are moving to non-denominational or Pentecostal services. And then you do have some that are choosing not to believe — like everybody, you know. Like any community. So my message to folks is that we are great enough to be a nation where everybody is part of this family and should participate actively in our democracy, as we shape policy, as we move forward as a country, and that we can't afford to leave anybody out. We have to not only respect their decisions but also embrace them and what they stand for.
You know, I choose to believe, you know, my faith guides me and the decisions I make. But I also respect others who don't. Thank you for the question.
It's the sort of answer I could've scripted for Castro in advance, having watched his career over the years, but still, it's encouraging to watch these Democrats not shy away from the "atheist" word. It would've been easy to act like Republicans and spread the lie about how we live in a "Christian nation." They could've said everyone has a right to believe whatever they want, but Christianity has a special place in our culture and government.
Instead, they're welcoming a more diverse spectrum of religious belief without knocking disbelief. I don't need Castro to be an atheist. I need him to not exclude atheists — and the views most of us hold — from his administration and not give Christians special treatment like Republicans do. That would undoubtedly be the case.
For those who don't follow these campaigns, Castro hasn't been in the top tier of candidates, though he's made all the debates, but he's been widely regarded as a strong vice presidential selection for whomever eventually gets the nod.

Fritz Zimmerman, Author of The Nephilim Chronicles::: Interview RE: Giant Skeletons:::
Written by The Truth Denied, , 4 Comments
Fritz Zimmerman on The Nephilim Chronicles: Fallen Angels in the Ohio Valley : The Interview
About Fritz:
Fritz Zimmerman is the author of The Nephilim Chronicles: A Travel Guide to the Ancient Ruins in the Ohio Valley", which guides readers into the mysterious world of the Allegewi Hopewell mound builders from 1000 B.C. – 500 A.D. Two-hundred-twenty-two mound and earthworks sites have been photographed, with directions provided in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia and Michigan. The Guide is the result of physically exploring over 700 burial mound and earthwork sites in the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes Region.
Zimmerman's second book, The Nephilim Chronicles: Fallen Angels in the Ohio Valley, leads readers on an ancient journey from the Levant to the British Isles to the Ohio Valley, where the remains of giant human skeletons have been documented. It includes the historical accounts of over 300 giant skeletons that have been discovered within burial mounds and subsurface tombs. The accounted giants in the Bible, known as the Amorites have not only left their physical remains, but have have left an indelible mark across the landscapes of the British Isles and the Ohio Valley with their conical burial mounds and open air solar and celestial temples known as henges.
The Radio Interview
This was a most interesting interview with Fritz Zimmermen, so much so that we wished we had more time to spend with him. He covered a lot of ground on the show, and we be sure to invite him again in the future.

Here are just a few of the points that Fritz brought up on the show today.
"Fallen Angles"
1. Hunters and Fishers of the Maritime Archaic : Maritime migrations to North America
Stretching across
the expanse of Eurasia was a homogeneous culture yeilding bone
harpoons, leaf shaped projectivle points, fish hooks, slate ice
picks, net sinkers (plummets), gouges and polished stone axes.
Patterns decorated on these implements were chevrons, cross-hatching
or other geometric desings. (This is a continuation of designs found
in Upper Paleolithic CroMagnon graves)
1. Burial types of the Maritime Archaic
Remains of the Hunters and Fishers are found in Kitchen Middens, Glacial Kames. Burial many times contained the evidence of charcoal or fires. Childrens burials are found accompanied by dogs.
III. "Archaic" type skulls
are desribed as having a protruding brow ridge, sloping forehead,
thick skull walls, massive jaws.
IV "Archaic" skull types are found on both the Pacific and Atlantic
coasts. They are also found in large numbers in the Great Lakes Region from New York to Wisconsin.
V. There also a number of skulls found with a double row of teeth. This dental anomolie is found in the greatest numbers in the coastal regions and always with giant skeletons.
VI. Earliest mound and earthwork sites
at Watson Break (3000 B.C) and Poverty Point (1500 B.C) contained
large number of plummets. This is good evidence that these early
mound sites were connected to the Maritime Archaic groups on both
coasts.
VII. Shell mounds occur in the Late
Archaic in southern Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. It is believed
that these are the early Sioux. Archaeologist believe these same
areas were the origination of the later "Hopewell"
I.) Prehistoric
Mining in North Amerca
Where is all the
copper 500,000 tons missing
II. Early and Middle
Bronze Age ype weapons found with thew "Copper Culture"
EBA-MBA
sequuence of tanged daggers to the socket in Wisconsin along with
adding a mid-rib on the blade for additional strength.
III Origins described in the Book of Genesis 6:4
1.) Bronze Age metals technology, knowledge of the coarse of the Sun, Moon and Constellations is elaborated on in the book of Enoch.
IV. Origins of the Biblical Amorites with the Cro Magnon
1. historical reports of giant Cro Magnon remains
V. Amorites migrations across Europe to England under the guise of the "Beaker People"
A. Beaker People were a combo of Dinaric, Corded People and Boreby Cro Magnon
1.) Conical mounds surrounded by a curb or ditch found from Syria, Kiev, Germany to England
2.) Henges found in Germany and England
3.) Large skeletal remains found in the conical mounds
VI Same "head types" of the Dinaric, Corded people and Boreby Cro Magnon found in the Ohio Valley burial mounds.
VII The Ohio Valley mound and henge sites are identical to that found in the British Isles
VIII Numerical Codex of Gematria 666= Sun Father 1080 Earth or Lunar Mother
1.) First noted with the Amorites of Babylon 1950 BC
2.) Evidence in the Bible
3.) Evident at Stonehenge
4.) Evidence on the Ohio Valley
IX Complex mathematics and the use of pi and square roots were used in the construction of the earthworks of the Ohio Valley.
Travel Guide.
I. 222 sites photographed that was the result of 13 years of field work investigating over 70 burial mound and earthwork sights.
II. Importance of understanding ancient religion and the meaning of the symbolism of shapes in the construction of the earthworks
III. The importance of understanding the balance between the Sun Father and the Earth Mother in the construction of the earthworks. The Sacred Marriage or the Holu Union of opposites
IV. Signs in nature that are evident on the "Sacred Landscape" where he earthworks were constructed
A special note from Fritz Zimmerman
"Two Iroquois burial mounds are scheduled to be destroyed to make way for funeral plots in the Marion, Indiana IOOF cemetery. The owner of the cemetery is a minister. The cemetery is now the Historic Estates of Serenity. Please call and express your anger. 800 747 2692 Ext: 208698"

When I work with florists trying to grow their business, the first question I ask is, "what is your goal?" The next, "what is your plan to get there?" If they don't at least mention Teleflora in their response, I always know where to start.
For over 20 years now, Teleflora has rewarded and thanked florists for supporting the network with their orders. The orders sent through Teleflora help many florists prosper. You see in my opinion, no one is doing more to help local florists succeed than Teleflora to ensure this continues.
They offer every possible option for helping florists operate a business including point of sale equipment, signage for your shop, images to sell, credit card programs (which are better than almost any local bank), state-of-the-art tech websites, and dedicated support staff available to help any florist in need, at just about anytime.
What I applaud most about Teleflora is, they generate their own orders (which they do by marketing) and send them through their system. They secure the trust of the online shopper and completes the transaction with the help of a LOCAL RETAIL FLORIST who designs and delivers the order. They clearly appreciate the time and hard work their members put in to generate orders to send through the network and they make showcasing flower buyers a priority.
What if Teleflora was not out there doing this? I would bet the chances are far greater that FTD or 1-800-Flowers would get those orders. Why? Because they have the marketing dollars. The local retail florist has what they need to market locally, but unfortunately, not enough do. Teleflora even tries to help florists understand how to compete by offering programs to market local florists. But what really makes Teleflora stand out is the fact that they NEVER ship flowers in a box, it is always designed and delivered by a local florist. I personally appreciate this.
Teleflora supports any shop looking to grow their business. It's important florists remember one thing, Teleflora needs florists to be successful for Teleflora to be successful, and that's a great position for florists. So reach out and talk to your Teleflora representative, myself, or anyone you feel comfortable speaking with and make decisions that are best for you and your business. That is everyone's goal because if we do well, our support systems do well.
Teleflora will make you a custom website just about any way you like? Just ask.
You don't have to carry every image Teleflora offers. If you don't control your inventory, Teleflora can't either. You will end up with more options than you want. This is up to you.
Teleflora is the ONLY wire service that offers after-hours service for YOUR customers. Answering services are not cheap. Teleflora continues to make them available to local flower shops at affordable prices. Shop around, I did. I was amazed. There are so many more values they bring to the table. I find when florists seem frustrated it is because they are not informed.
Last but not least, Teleflora handles order resolutions FAR GREATER than any credit card company does. If there is a problem, Teleflora is pretty fast, to the point, and fair. They see the big picture and want all their members happy.
Let's remain optimistic and enjoy the beauty of this industry. Our greatest strength, we can have a bouquet HAND-DELIVERED on the same day, anywhere in the USA! Let's not forget the power of what made us special to begin with. I am always available for you any time day or night. You can reach me at (941) 806-1911 or drop us a line here.

Education, a multi-disciplinary approach
The annual education conference at Bengal Chamber of Commerce witnessed a creative exchange on redefining education to address modern challenges.

The Bengal Chamber of Commerce recently organised the "Annual Education Conference 2019" which dealt with the topic "21st century realities and learning — Creating more polymaths".
Education aims to help tackle real life problems through innovative solutions. Specialisation in just one discipline limits the ability to approach problems differently.
Hence, reconstructing the education system to keep up with new challenges and creating polymaths becomes important.
According to Indrajit Sen, president, Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the managing director of International Combustion (India) Limited, the conference aims to focus on the impact of multi-disciplinary immersive learning and its prodigious significance in sustaining mankind in the coming years.
Amitabha Dutta, director, Calcutta Media Institute, mentioned in his theme address that an age old institution like BCCI have been continuously working towards the progress of education and at the end of the day, their main aim is to bring education to all.
Suborno Bose highlighted that a new-age education should aim to amalgamate various disciplines creating pathways for career opportunities of tomorrow.
IAS Alapan Bandhopadhyay in his keynote address, said, "Deep generalisation, encyclopaedic humanism, broad based appreciation of arts, literature and culture sensitive studies of state and society are important."
Satyam Roy Choudhury, co-chairperson, education committee, The Bengal Chamber, said that polymaths try to detect a common thread between different concepts and then integrate many disciplines around this core idea and educators should create innovators and not just consumers of technology.
Bikash Sinha, INSA honorary scientist stated that a real interaction in a class, not virtual, is important for a wholesome education.
Saikat Mitra, vice chancellor, Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad University of Technology, said that the pedagogy by technology will take over the classroom system and polymath-centric approach is needed to solve problems.
Keshari Nath Tripathi, Governor of West Bengal, gave the keynote address. He said, "The true aim of education is to restore the human mind in diverse dimensions and develop the ability to deal with problems and arrive at creative solutions."
He also said that confining education only in one direction may hamper the growth of the society. The discussions were moderated by Bose. Among the panellists were Ajay Kumar Roy, professor, IIT Kharagpur; Paul Welsh, MBE, managing trustee, founder of Jungle Crow; and Suman Kumar Mukherjee, director general, The Bhawanipur Education Society College, among others.
Speaking on creating polymaths, they discussed how the relationship between a teacher and a student has changed to more of an exchange.
Swami Sekar, CEO and co-founder of Winimy Al, Singapore, spoke on "Immersive Learning- Let's dive into the deep end". He highlighted on the point of making something new, elaborated on learning and unlearning and stressed on the value of empathy.
Arindam Sil, chairman, Music & Films Forum, The Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry, told how he got into the film industry and the struggles he faced. Through this, he tried to covey that nothing is impossible.
The second panel discussion was on the topic, "Rebooting education — Time to ctrl+ alt+ del". The discussion, moderated by Rupkatha Sarkar, principal, La Martiniere For Girls included senior panellists Bratati Bhattacharyya, secretary general, Shri Shikshayatan School; Ashok Ranjan Thakur, vice chancellor, Sister Nivedita University; Pradip Chopra, chairman, iLeads, Kolkata and Mimi Joseph, senior english teacher, St Xavier's Collegiate School and students Rick Mukherjee, Divyanshi Sharda, Sreshtha Basu Roy Choudhury and Purushottam Choudhury who discussed how education can be improved to benefit each student equally.
The panel on "Living your dreams" with Irfan Ahmed, celebrity mixologist and bar consultant; Jimmy Tangree, RJ, Head- Friends 91.9 FM; and Soumitra Dutta, paediatrician and photographer. Each highlighted how they are living their dreams, the challenge they had to face and what they learnt in the process.
Anupam Dutta spoke on the topic "Real intelligence in the time of artificial intelligence". He stated that we need to incorporate technologies in our education because today's generation is more comfortable with technologies.
The event also felicitated personalities such as dancer Alokananda Roy and Sudha Kaul, vice chairperson, Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy, with Lifetime Achievement Award. Author Ruskin Bond was bestowed with the Hall of Fame Award and was interviewed by Tangree.
In the interview, Bond opened up on what inspired him to write. On being asked what he would have been if not a writer, he said that he would love to be a librarian or a forest guard.

'Mapping Dejope' project seeks to make Indigenous histories in Madison available digitally
Digital project will offer more than signs, professor says
By Jonah Beleckis
Friday, February 25, 2022, 2:30pm
Signs are static.
They can, of course, convey concise and relevant historical information. But they are limited to one point in time, said Kasey Keeler, an assistant professor of civil society and community studies and American Indian studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
That's why Keeler is leading a project, "Mapping Dejope: Indigenous Histories and Presence in Madison," which will make Indigenous history of the area digitally accessible.
"It's a living entity so that it can continuously be updated as needed, providing more information as it comes in," Keeler said recently on WPR's "The Morning Show." "Then people have their phone right at their fingertips. So, if they see something that sparks interest, they can also dig in more."

The initiative received a seed project grant from the Baldwin Wisconsin Idea Endowment this year, according to the UW-Madison School of Human Ecology. The maximum amount awarded from these grants is $4,000.
Other funds are also coming from the School of Human Ecology's Indigenous EcoWell Initiative.
The exact format of the project is not yet fully clear, Keeler said. As of now, they are planning for a digital app and web-accessible version.
Keeler said the project will collect stories from Ho-Chunk Nation members — and crucially, the funding will help pay them for it.
"Something that is often lost is that folks often expect Native community members to participate in different events without compensating them for their knowledge and for their time," she said. "(Paying them) is so important in doing this kind of work."

In 2016, Camp Randall Stadium put up a sign at one of its entrance identifying the areas as "Ho-Chunk Nation Plaza." The sign, Keeler said, is big, red and very hard to miss.
It acts as a symbol of the relationship between the Ho-Chunk Nation and the university. She said it's a good reminder for tens of thousands of fans who attend football games about whose land they're all on.
But it didn't come for free. The Ho-Chunk Nation paid about $2 million for the naming rights, she said.
For Keeler, it's important the project gets into the thorny matters of Native history, especially as it pertains to land dispossession and forced removal considering the university sits atop Ho-Chunk land.
"A lot of the goal of this digital project is to push back on colonialism and to really question what we've been taught and what we think we know about this area that we call Madison today," she said.
She also said she would like to see more conversation at UW-Madison about moving beyond acknowledging past wrongs into righting those wrongs, such as having tuition waivers for Native students.
Keeler has been at the university for four years. She has taught larger, introductory classes in which she sees a need for students to connect with the landscape around them in Madison. Her own areas of interest include place-making, identity and the names of places.
Part of the story of the land UW-Madison occupies goes back to 1866, when it became a land-grant institution.

Keeler said land-grant institutions have been celebrated for making education more accessible. But accessible for whom?
"It's a really complicated history that myself and some other colleagues at the University of Wisconsin are really trying to dig into and provide resources to folks to learn more about this history," she said.
Keeler said the project was "just barely getting off the ground." She is hoping to have a version of the digital map go live in the fall.

A method of selecting optimal color filters to perform accurate multi-illuminant color correction is reviewed. The transmittances for a set of filters obtained by the method were provided to a color filter manufacturer. The manufacturer used a dichroic filter modeling program to produce transmittances that satisfied the physical constraints of the manufacturing process and approximated the optimal filter transmittances. The ideal and manufacturable filters are compared through computer simulation and their accuracy assessed during the CIE ΔEL*a*b measure. The results show that the unconventional shapes of the optimal filters can be weil approximated by actual filters with slight degradation in performance.
We describe a method of enhancing color images by applying histogram equalization to the saturation component in the color difference (C-Y) color space. When histogram equalization is applied to the saturation component of a 24-bit image, the transform often leads to red, green, and blue components that exceed the realizable RGB intensities. The histogram equalization algorithm presented reduces this problem by taking into account the relationship that exists between luminance and saturation and how the luminance value limits the range of possible saturations. This method also retains a more uniform distribution of color saturation once the components are transformed back into the RGB space. This is important for images that contain high-luminance, low-saturation features.
A fractal-based method for color image compression is presented. The method transforms the direct color components into three approximate principal components and applies a fractal-based compression method developed for gray-scale images to each new component. The main principal component, which contains a large amount of energy, is coded with high accuracy, while the other two components can be coded at lower accuracy and a very high compression ratio. The principal-component-based method gives an overall higher quality in the reconstructed image at a similar compression rate compared with compression based on other linear transforms of the color space.
An overview of the wavelet scalar quantization (WSQ) and Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) image compression algorithms is given. Results of application of both algorithms to a database of 60 fingerprint images are then discussed. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) results for WSQ, JPEG with quantization matrix (QM) optimization, and JPEG with standard QM scaling are given at several average bit rates. In all cases, optimized-QM JPEG is equal or superior to WSQ in SNR performance. At 0.48 bit/pixel, which is in the operating range proposed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), WSQ and QM-optimized JPEG exhibit nearly identical SNR performance. In addition, neither was subjectively preferred on average by human viewers in a forced-choice image-quality experiment. Although WSQ was chosen by the FBI as the national standard for compression of digital fingerprint images on the basis of image quallty that was ostensibly superior to that of existing internationalstandard JPEG, it appears possible that this superiority was due more to lack of optimization of JPEG parameters than to inherent superiority of the WSQ algorithm. Furthermore, substantial worldwide support for JPEG has developed due to its status as an international standard, and WSQ is significantly slower than JPEG in software implementation. Still, it is possible that WSQ enhanced with an optimal quantizer-design algorithm could outperform JPEG. This is a topic for future research.
Among the various digital halftoning methods, carrier procedures have the advantage of being fast and requiring few computational resources. However, because they are pixel-oriented algorithms, they offer less flexibility than more complex algorithms that involve the information from a neighborhood or the entire image in the quantization of each pixel. By introducing noninteger ratios between the carrier and raster period, the carrier procedure can be adapted to the spectral characteristics of the visual system. The spectral noise distribution can be optimized in this regard for two-dimensional, periodic carriers with arbitrary shape.
In a raster scanning printer, a laser beam is scanned across a photoreceptor in a direction perpendicular to the photoreceptor motion. When there is vibratory motion of the photoreceptor or wobble in the polygon mirror, the raster lines on the photoreceptor will not be evenly spaced. We analyze the positioning error and show that fractional raster spacing error is equal to photoreceptor fractional velocity error. These raster position errors can result in various print defects, of which halftone banding is the dominant defect. The dependences of halftone banding are examined using a first-order geometry-based printing model, an exposure model, and a more sophisticated laser imaging model coupled with a xerography model. The system model is used to calculate print reflectance modulation due to vibrations in both charged-area and discharged-area development modes using insulative or conductive development. System parameters examined are halftone frequency, raster frequency, average reflectance, vibration frequency, and multiple-beam interlace spacing.
We propose an algorithm for the computation of a region-based measure of image edge profile (IEP) acutance based on graylevel variations across the boundary of an object. A procedure to calculate the acutance based on region growing and a root-mean-squared gradient measure across region boundaries has been designed and implemented. After testing the algorithm on various images, it is shown that this measure of acutance can accurately reflect changes in the appearance of objects due to blurring and sharpening operations. Using this technique, it should be possible to quantify the level of enhancement in a digital image by calculating the acutance before and after the enhancement operation. The measure should also be useful in comparing specific features or regions of interest in images produced by different imaging systems.
In recent years several algorithms have been reported for automating fringe data collection in photomechanics using the technique of digital image processing (DIP). Recent advances in phase shifting interferometry have offered some hope for full automation of static problems. However, for real-time dynamic studies conventional recording of fringes is a must. Fringe thinning is a very crucial step in extracting data for further processing. The various DIP algorithms for fringe thinning are surveyed and an attempt is made to explain better the mechanism of fringe skeleton extraction by various algorithms. The algorithm of Ramesh and Pramod is improved to extract fringe skeletons from saddle points in the fringe field. A cornparative performance evaluation of these algorithms is discussed with respect to the quality and accuracy of fringe skeleton extracted and the processing time. Performance evaluation is done on a few computer-generated. test images and also on images recorded by the technique of photoelasticity. The improved version of the algorithm of Ramesh and Pramod is found to give better fringe skeletons; it is also the fastest and the processing time is an order of magnitude less than the other algorithms. It is proposed that these computergenerated test images could be used as standard test images for checking the performance of any new fringe thinning algorithm.
During the next years, profound changes are expected in computer and communication technologies that will offer the medical imaging systems (MIS) industry a challenge to develop advanced telemedicine applications of high performance. Medical industry, vendors, and specialists need to agree on a universal MIS structure that will provide a stack of functions, protocols, and interfaces suitable for coordination and management of high-level image consults, reports, and review activities. Doctors and engineers have worked together to determine the types, targets, and range of such activities within a medical group working domain and to posit their impact on MIS structure. As a result, the fundamental MIS functions have been posed and organized in the form of a general MIS architecture, denoted as ELPIDA. The structure of this architecture was kept as simple as possible to allow its extension to diverse multimode operational schemes handling medical and conversational audiovisual information of different classes. The fundamentals of ELPIDA and pulmonary image diagnostic aspects have been employed for the development of a prototype MIS.

New Research Shows Ford's Adaptive Cruise Control Can Minimize 'Phantom' Traffic Jams
【Summary】Ford Motor Company has teamed up with researchers at Vanderbilt University to demonstrate that the widespread use of its adaptive cruise control can reduce traffic jams caused by drivers constantly accelerating and braking.

Driving in stop and go traffic is incredibly frustrating for most drivers. However, without being caused by an accident, this type of traffic is often caused by drivers themselves, as drivers often accelerate too fast and brake abruptly or too early, causing the drivers of all of the cars behind them to brake as well. This behavior often slows traffic to a crawl.
Ford Motor Company has teamed up with researchers at Vanderbilt University to demonstrate that the widespread use of its adaptive cruise control can reduce traffic jams caused by drivers constantly accelerating and braking.
The Ford and Vanderbilt University researchers demonstrated this week that these so-called 'phantom traffic jams' could be minimized with widespread use of adaptive cruise control (ACC) which is available on many makes and models. Adaptive cruise control automatically matches the prevailing speed of traffic, allowing the driver to set a fixed following distance from the car ahead.
The team conducted what is believed to be the most realistic demonstration of its kind, showing that existing technology could help minimize phantom traffic jams, which appear to happen for no reason and can cause hazardous traffic backups.
The test was conducted on a closed Ford test track in Detroit using 36 drivers lined up in three rows of twelve vehicles that simulated normal highway traffic. The lead vehicles in each lane slowed from 60 to 40 mph to mimic a traffic disturbance.
Without the ACC technology, the drivers each braked harder than the vehicle ahead, which led to a braking disruption that became more pronounced further down the traffic stream. Drivers not using ACC amplified the initial braking event, in some cases to the point where traffic slowed to a crawl.
For the second part of the test, the 36 drivers drove the same course without using ACC, requiring them to manually brake and accelerate the vehicle. The results showed that vehicles using adaptive cruise control reduced the impact of a braking event more than those vehicles without the technology. Even with just one in three vehicles using adaptive cruise control, the test yielded similar results in reducing traffic.
The test was repeated with all vehicles using adaptive cruise control set at 62 mph, just slightly higher than the lead vehicles to ensure the vehicles remained in a constant platoon. In these demonstrations, the ACC systems outperformed the human drivers in almost every braking situation.
In one of the tests, the ACC actually suppressed the braking wave so the last car in the lane only slowed by 5 mph instead of coming to a stand-still.
"A fun Fourth of July family road trip can quickly become irritating when traffic slows to a crawl – especially once you learn there was no reason for the gridlock," said Michael Kane, supervisor, Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology. "We encourage Ford owners who have adaptive cruise control to use it during their summer travels in the hope this smart technology today can be that first step to help ease commutes."
Poor driving habits, such as not using turn signals, distracted driving, slow reactions times or unnecessary braking are the main causes of phantom traffic jams. For example, once one driver hits the brakes, a chain reaction occurs for all of the cars traveling behind that driver. As the other drivers tap their brakes, the entire line of cars slows down or stops, which leads to traffic.
"For years, traffic researchers and engineers have been looking to smart vehicle technologies to reduce traffic congestion, whether that's vehicles that talk to each other or vehicles that can predict the road ahead," said Daniel Work, civil engineering professor at Vanderbilt University. "This demonstration was a unique opportunity to understand how commercially-available active driver-assist technologies can be used to positively influence traffic flow."
Smart Technologies Can Reduce Traffic
Work, along with lead PhD researcher Raphael Stern, have been working with the support of the National Science Foundation to determine how smart technologies can provide a pathway to fewer traffic snarls, as well as reducing fuel consumption. The two plan on publishing the results of the Ford demonstration in an upcoming academic journal.
"Unlike the traffic jams caused by accidents or road construction, phantom traffic jams appear out of nowhere," Work released in a statement. "Combined, traffic backups cost the typical American commuter on average an additional 41 hours a year sitting in traffic at a cost of $1,400 per commuter." These figures take into account lost productivity, fuel burned while idling and increased wear and tear.
"The fact that we saw a commercially-viable ACC system fully suppress the traffic backup is quite impressive," Work added. "And while we know this won't happen in every situation or in every circumstance, it's very promising to see that commercially available ACC systems can already have a desired effect in normal, everyday driving scenarios."
The team also reduced the number of ACC active vehicles to 33 percent. This is the low threshold researchers have long believed could help suppress phantom traffic backups. The results were similar to the full ACC demonstrations. So if just one out of three cars is using ACC traffic can be reduced.
"The big takeaway from all of this is it's to everyone's benefit to practice good driving," Michael Kane, supervisor for Ford's Co-Pilot 360 Technology, said in a release. "Give ample space between you and the vehicle ahead, stay alert, and that will always help traffic flow more smoothly and help us all get to our destinations on time."
"Adaptive cruise control systems don't get tired or distracted, they're consistently looking at the vehicle ahead," Kane added. "Plus, they are programmed to provide more consistent distances between vehicles so they can better respond to the speed and distance of the vehicle ahead."
Ford's adaptive cruise control technology was originally introduced in 2006 and has been consistently updated to function in a variety of road conditions.
Until cars are fully autonomous, ACC appears to be an important technology to reduce traffic jams caused by humans.
Ford currently offers adaptive cruise control on 71 percent of its U.S. models.
