Let's Stop Using Sore Muscles as a Badge of Honor
We gym rats just love being sore. Waddling around the day after some seriously tough squats? That means they did their job. And struggling to hold the phone to your ear because your biceps are so freaking zonked? Serious bragging rights.
Yeah, we've all reveled in the "hurts so good" aches and pains that come in the hours and days following our workouts. But here's the thing: Sore muscles aren't necessarily a sign of a great workout. This isn't meant to put down all your hard work—rather, it's to inform you that contrary to what you've always thought, soreness isn't the best measure of how effective your workout was.
That "hurts so good" feeling is called delayed onset muscle soreness, or DOMS. It refers to the stiff, weak, and sore muscles that you get about 24 to 48 hours after a workout. It's especially common if you're new to working out, haven't exercised in a while, or recently tried a new type of exercise. "While the process is not fully understood, current research shows that the soreness, tightness, and reduction in strength capacity occurs alongside damage to the muscle fibers' contractile units, called sarcomeres, as well as inhibited calcium signaling and function within those units. These changes lead to inflammatory responses and the activation of several muscle protein degradation pathways," which result in pain and weakness, Minnesota-based exercise physiologist Mike T. Nelson, Ph.D., C.S.C.S., tells SELF.
As you've probably heard, exercise improvements come down to your body's ability to adapt to the stresses you put it under. Challenge it, break it down (just a bit), and as it recovers, it will build itself back to being stronger and fitter than before. So, from that point of view, DOMS has to be a good thing, right? Well, sometimes it is. It can be a sign that you're challenging your body in new ways, hitting previously underused muscles, and increasing your workout's intensity in a significant way. But it can also be a sign that your workout is all over the place, you aren't progressing toward any one goal, and that your body is in dire need of recovery.
DOMS isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Virtually every exerciser has started a new workout, only to be riddled with DOMS a day or two later. Then, when they hit up the exact same workout the next week, no DOMS (or just less intense DOMS). What gives?
According to 2016 research from Brigham Young University, it only takes one workout for your immune system to "learn" how to best repair your muscles from that workout. As a result, you boost your recovery (think: exercise results) while actually reducing your likelihood of getting DOMS.
So if you're constantly dealing with DOMS, it's possible that you're trying new and different workouts every time that you hit the gym, which, in the end, can shortchange your results. Fitness results—it doesn't matter if we are talking increased speed, more muscle, less fat, or better heart health—need consistency. Think about it this way: You aren't going to build a big booty by doing goblet squats one week and calf raises the next. No, you have to do squats every single week, increasing their depth, weight, or number of reps or sets, as often as you can.
Meanwhile, if you're on the opposite end of the spectrum as a consummate creature of habit, more likely than not, constant soreness is a telltale sign that you're overtraining, suggests one Sports Health review. "You need to allow the muscles to recover so you're not overtraining or hitting plateaus, and continual DOMS can signal that your body is breaking down from your workouts, but not necessarily building back up afterward," Baltimore-based strength coach Erica Suter, C.S.C.S., tells SELF. "Proper recovery will allow for a stronger grind the next day, and for you to hone in on high intensity in subsequent workouts."
After all, from a purely logistical side of things, are you going to want to hit up a crazy hard cycling class when you can barely walk? Seriously sore muscles can cause many exercisers to space their workouts further and further apart, or prevent them from performing those workouts with proper form, Tennessee-based personal and online trainer Hannah Davis, C.S.C.S., tells SELF. That's a huge whole reason in itself to stop chasing soreness.
There are a handful of other ways to judge the quality of your workout.
So if soreness isn't all that and a bag of protein powder, how do you know if your workout will deliver? Here are four ways to tell if you really got a good workout:
1. You leave the gym feeling better than when you got there. "A sign of a great workout is that you actually feel great after the workout, not wrecked," Davis says. Sure, you should feel some fatigue in your muscles, but you should still feel amped and energetic, ideally even loosened up a bit.
2. You get your heart rate up. "Heart rate is objective, and with wearable technology, so simple to use," Michael Silverman P.T., M.S.P.T., director of rehabilitation and wellness at Northern Westchester Hospital, tells SELF. Here's a quick guide: Your maximum heart rate is roughly 220 beats per minute minus your age. Balls-to-the-wall sprints should put you between 80 and 100 percent of your max heart rate (given your doc has OK'ed you getting your heart rate that high). Steady-state endurance work should get your heart rate up between 60 and 75 percent of your max. And if you're under 60 percent, you're probably (hopefully) stretching.
3. Your RPE is on point. RPE is short for "rate of perceived exertion," a measure of exercise intensity based on how hard you feel you're working, on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being "I can't take one more step." Steady-state cardio should have you working at an RPE of about 5 to 7, and high-intensity intervals about 8 to 9. But RPE is particularly helpful when gauging exercise intensity during strength workouts, which might not spike your heart rate as high as sprints would—but should still feel hard. "As some strength coaches say, 'weight lifting shouldn't tickle,' " Suter says. Aim for an RPE of 7 to 9.
4. You increase exercise intensity or volume (while keeping impeccable form). "Tracking your progress will assure you that regardless of muscle soreness, you are on the right track," Davis says. You don't have to increase exercise intensity or volume (think: reps and sets) every week, but if you've lifted the same 10-pound dumbbell for three sets of 10 reps for five weeks in a row, it's probably time to consider pushing yourself a wee bit harder.

Palestinians Are Not Ready for Palestine
The Middle East and North Africa region contains an overwhelming number of failed or failing states. Libya is in shambles. Syria is in a state of chaos. Iraq is a ticking time bomb where U.S.-instituted 'democracy' is nothing more than a bad joke. ISIS has established a massive regional footprint stretching from the Levant to the Turkish Border. Iran's proxy in Lebanon, Hezbollah, has a larger and better-equipped force than the Lebanese Army. And Egypt has been through a rollercoaster of regimes and ultimately found stability only in the arms of its all-powerful military.
Against this unstable backdrop of conflict and mayhem, the push for establishment of a Palestinian state is as strong as it has ever been. European governments are passing resolutions supporting an independent Palestine and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is seeking a UN resolution on the matter with the utmost urgency.
Before I proceed further, let me state the following: I firmly believe that the Palestinians should have their own state. I believe it is the only long-term solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and I challenge those who disagree to provide a viable, long-term alternative.
With that said, I believe that the establishment of a Palestinian State at this time would be a horrible development for the Middle East and the world at large. Deserving a state and being ready for a state are two very different circumstances, and the blurring of the line between the two is dangerous for all parties. The Palestinians are currently plagued by a myriad of issues that would almost immediately classify an independent Palestine as yet another failed state in the Middle East. Particularly given the intimate proximity of a Palestinian state to Israel, a failed Palestine would serve as the ideal springboard for radical Islam to launch attacks on Israel and deepen the abyss of Middle Eastern violence to extreme levels. It is in the best interest of all world powers to avoid such an eventuality and the international ripples it would cause.
The issues that would contribute to a failed Palestinian state are:
#1: Corruption throughout the Palestinian government is rampant. Incalculable amounts of government funds and foreign aid line the pockets of Abbas, his sons and his cronies (just as they lined the pockets of Arafat and his tribe prior). Nepotism and favoritism are deemed to be the primary criteria for political appointments. Even the Middle East Monitor, an ardently pro-Palestinian website, recently published a scathing report of the expansive role of corruption through all institutions of Palestinian society inclusive of its security forces and the universities. Systemic corruption to such an extreme erodes the public's confidence in their government and almost inevitably leads to infighting and violence. This is particularly relevant in a Hamas v. Fatah landscape that has demonstrated its approach to conflict resolution through murder plots and executions. How does the global community reconcile the establishment of a Palestinian state with the inability of its political powers to co-exist in any degree of harmony with each other or with their constituents?
#2: The Palestinian Authority is a state sponsor of terrorism. According to Palestinian law, any Palestinian incarcerated in Israel is paid a monthly fee of up to several thousand dollars. This overtly includes prisoners convicted of murdering Israeli civilians. The families of suicide bombers also receive long-term payments of equal or greater amounts. In total, these payments amount to 6% of the overall budget of the Palestinian Authority. To put this in perspective, the US spends 6% of its federal budget on the combination of transportation infrastructure, education, and scientific research. The Palestinian Authority spends the same percentage to recognize, celebrate and glorify acts of premeditated murder that are the very definition of terrorism. How can the world justify creating a state whose existing legal framework rewards the slaying of innocent civilians? These are the very types of governments that world powers seek to topple, not erect.
#3: Palestinians live in the equivalent of a welfare state. UNWRA, the UN agency founded in 1949 to provide relief to the 650,000 Palestinian refugees of that time, has grown to become the largest body in the UN. It now provides education, health care and social services to 5 MILLION Palestinian refugees. During that same 65-year period, the UN High Commissioner for refugees succeeded in implementing durable solutions for refugees around the world but in the case of Palestine, it has become a pure welfare organization upon which the Palestinians categorically depend. In other words, the Palestinian Authority has never provided social services to its own population and instead relies upon the $1.2 billion annual budget of UNWRA to do so. Should the Palestinian Authority not be able to demonstrate some capacity for comprehensive self-governance prior to being granted a state? Is there any plan to wean the Palestinians off UNWRA support so that they become self-sufficient or will their upkeep simply become a permanent responsibility of the international community?
#4: Palestinians continue to educate their children to view Israel negatively and negate the validity of its existence. This untenable approach ensures that current and future Palestinian generations will be encouraged to undermine and attack Israel. A 2013 analysis of Palestinian school textbooks revealed that 84% of them characterize Israel negatively, referring to it as the 'Zionist Occupation' and the 'usurpation of Palestine' (In the spirit of full disclosure, textbooks used by ultra-orthodox Israelis were barely any better with 73% of them characterizing Palestinians negatively). Palestinian children are taught that Israel, their neighbor, has no valid standing as a country. They are taught that all violence against Israeli civilians is justified as 'armed struggle' and they are actively recruited and encouraged to engage in such violence. Should peaceful coexistence not be introduced into children's upbringing as part of the establishment of a Palestinian state? Should the world passively endorse the perpetuation of Palestinian incitement and the violent radicalization of its youth?
#5: There is no freedom of press in the Palestinian territories. Freedom of press is one of the cornerstones of any democratic society. Its absence, the inability of citizens to openly question and criticize government policies, is a hallmark of dictatorships and/or repressive societies. Stories abound throughout Gaza and the West Bank of reporters who are jailed, threatened and even physically abused when their reporting exposes corruption, violence or intimidation within Palestinian society. During this past summer, after the latest round of conflict between Hamas and Israel, several stories surfaced of Hamas' efforts to limit the publication of news that portrayed them in a negative light. The 2014 Freedom House 'Freedom of the Press' Report ranked the Palestinian territories among the worst in the world for press freedoms (equivalent to Somalia!). Without a robust and uninhibited press corps, would a Palestinian state be in any position to empower its citizens towards informed democracy? Is it not a disservice to the Palestinian people to condemn them to a sovereign state where their freedoms are trampled upon?
As calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state in the near term grow, world leaders and the global community at-large must institute political and social preconditions to ensure that a responsible, transparent and capable government leads the Palestinian people. Afghanistan and Iraq are two recent examples of 'democracy gone bad' when a global coalition instituted democracy in a society that didn't have the prerequisite freedoms and educational core. It is incumbent upon world leaders to use that precedent to help ensure the mistake is not repeated in Palestine. The establishment of a Palestinian state in the absence of such a framework would be irresponsible at best, and extremely dangerous at worst.

BEIJING, CHINA: Chinese social media users are scratching their heads over a "Chinese proverb" US President Donald Trump's daughter and advisor Ivanka posted to Twitter as her father prepared for his summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un.
"'Those who say it can not be done, should not interrupt those doing it.' -Chinese Proverb," Ivanka posted on Monday, the night before her father and Kim came together to seek an end to a tense decades-old nuclear stand-off.
China's internet quickly lit up puzzled rather than flattered by the reference.
"Our editor really can't think of exactly which proverb this is. Please help!" the news channel for Sina — the company behind Weibo, China's largest Twitter-like platform — wrote on its official social media account.
In thousands of comments on Weibo, users proffered scores of different suggestions without arriving at a consensus.
Some suggested the proverb "the foolish old man removed mountains" — a common phrase used to signify perseverance. It refers to a fable about a man who persisted in his attempt to level a mountain he found inconvenient by dogged digging.
Ivanka Trump's family has a lot of fans in China. Her six-year-old daughter, Arabella Kushner, became an online sensation by singing ballads in Mandarin and reciting Chinese poetry in a video that was shown to President Xi Jinping during Donald Trump's visit to Beijing last year.
But her mysterious proverb was panned on Weibo.
"She saw it in a fortune cookie at Panda Express," one user wrote.
Another said: "It makes sense, but I still don't know which proverbit is."
"One proverb from Ivanka has exhausted the brain cells of all Chinese internet users," a commenter admitted.
Bill Kristol, editor of the US political magazine the Weekly Standard, tweeted a guess that the phrase "seems in fact to be American from the turn of the 20th c.- which makes sense, since its spirit is can-do Americanism".

There's another one in the drawer. More than a little full now, come to think of it. I need to do something about that…
Yes, I've finished the new short story. No, I'm not ready to tell you even the title yet. Just think of it as the Secret Short Story. 🙂 I have to do a lot of editing now, for a number of reasons. First, it's supposed to be 5-8k words. Currently, it's 8265. That clearly won't work, so I have to bring it down. I think I can do that though, without a huge amount of difficulty. I think I'll actually do that, get it down to 8k before I throw it in the drawer and give it at least a few days to mature.
Once that's done, I'm diving into the novella. I'm excited to see how that turned out. I think there are going to be parts I need to flesh out a little, but that too is part of editing. I still say that my biggest concern is readers asking for what comes after it, because at the moment, there isn't really an "after" to that story. No, creative brain, don't offer me one. Please, for the love of kittens, do NOT offer me a bigger story. I'm begging you, have mercy. 😉
I haven't decided for sure what will come after that. I should take a pass through one of the two novels in the drawer, but I'll worry about that after this short is out the door and the novella's had its pass.
And, of course, me not writing a novel at the moment means that the ideas are getting restless. This time it isn't Saul (for now), but rather Jacari, from the Queen and the Raven. I've felt from the beginning that my plans for the first book of that trilogy were incomplete at best. In the last couple of days, Jacari handed me the rest of that book, whispering ideas and secrets, not to mention ways to set up the other volumes. Oh dear god, it sounds so good that I'm practically begging for more. Great, another project I want to write immediately. Yes, I know that sounds cranky, but it's just that I want to write everything now and there just isn't that kind of time. Yet again, I need a time turner, or clones. And not the stupid clones with degraded DNA either. I have standards, you know. 🙂
To wrap up this post, there's something I wanted to share with everyone and I don't know why I didn't before, or why it suddenly seemed important last night, but here it is. A few of my Twitter friends run something really awesome on Friday nights called WriteClub. It runs off the hashtag #writeclub and basically it's a bunch of writers doing word sprints together, usually for 30 minutes at a time, with 15 minute breaks between. Some people write, others edit, and I've seen outlining done in it too. Really, it's just about getting down to doing whatever you need to and not feeling alone in it. @FriNightWrites is the account to follow for this because the timing for the sprints (not to mention a lot of encouragement) gets called out from it, on Fridays at least. What started out as a realization that a lot of writers spend Friday night at home has become a fabulous little community event. I've seen the #writeclub hashtag used on other days of the week too, often by people looking for someone to sprint with. Really, it's wonderful and sort of embodies the thing I love best about Twitter, the community of writers. The way people come together and help each other, even it it's just encouragement or sympathy, is absolutely amazing, quite touching. If you're on Twitter, I encourage you to check it out. You can join when you like and only go for as long as you want or have time for. If you're not on Twitter and you think it's just about promos and such, think about this example of when it isn't. Twitter really is what you make of it, partly by who you follow and how you interact with others. Don't let what other people use it for discourage you from trying it out. That community is a fabulous thing, especially when you need a pick-me-up after a bad day or a rejection.

Guy Martin's 180mph claim probed
Police are investigating claims made by television presenter Guy Martin that he reached speeds of 180mph on open roads while reviewing an Aston Martin super car.
The motorcycle racer, who fronts Speed with Guy Martin on Channel 4, wrote in an article for the Sunday Times's Driving magazine that he drove the Vanquish Carbon Edition round the Isle of Man's TT course.
The 33-year-old, who has been tipped to replace recently axed Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear, claimed he "saw 180mph down Sulby Straight" - which has a speed limit of 40mph into 30mph - while driving the £203,000 car.
Guy Martin claimed to have driven an Aston Martin at 180mph on a public road
He wrote: "As soon as I passed Union Mills, on to a section with no speed limit, I thought: 'Right, let's have it.'
"I saw 180mph down Sulby Straight, one of the fastest sections of the course, and the car wasn't even in top gear.
"Aston claims a top speed of '200mph or above'. It's the quickest-accelerating road car it has built, that's for sure."
In the article, published on April 7, Martin said he began his lap of the 37.7 mile (60.7km) TT course at 6am and completed it in 22 minutes.
Inspector Derek Flint, from the Isle of Man Constabulary, said: "We are making some inquiries."
Martin has competed in the TT race on several occasions, finishing second in the 2014 Superbike race.
He has also fronted a number of Channel 4 shows including Guy Martin's Passion for Life and Our Guy in India.

Not only that choline also helps to control the structure of cell membranes, help in the transmission of nerve bumps, helps in the intake of fats and decrease chronic inflammation.
In a study of the Journal of Medicinal Food published, she found that sweet purple potato extract had anti lipogenic positive anti-inflammatory effects, as well as free radicals and reduction activities.
Is Sweet Potato Healthier than White Potato?
If you cook the sweet potato and white potato properly, then both are healthy complex carbohydrates. Unfortunately, mashed potatoes and fried generally like chips so people confuse unhealthy potatoes. If you cook potatoes simply that in the oven, the potatoes are in perfect health.
You always get pan-fried, restaurants, sweet potato fries and are just plain unhealthy like regular fries. I would say both are healthy but traditionally sweet potatoes are usually baked when cooking at home and therefore are healthier and yes sweet potatoes contain more fiber but also more sugar.
What are the Best Ways to Cook Sweet Potatoes?
Sweet potatoes are great as they are and have an affinity with many other ingredients. The first is to make the best ways to cook with a little oil and seasoning.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Shake the sweet potatoes and cut the slices in 1/2 inch, for four sweet potatoes in a large shallow dish, add extra virgin olive oil, two tablespoons, two tablespoons sugar or Demur raw, two teeth of crushed garlic and kosher salt and fresh pepper to taste.
- Potato slices in one layer in the mold, cover with a sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, remove the leaf and with a spatula, put the potatoes. Slide the uncovered pan into the oven and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes until done well and have a candy sweet.
We make this recipe in quantity and eat yams / sweet potatoes for snacks and light meals. As nutritious, hearty and delicious
How to Cook a Sweet Potato?
The method I use cooking sweet potatoes worked like a charm to me, but it takes a little planning. Cover the number you want to cook the potatoes with water and leave overnight if possible soak. Soaking is easier and steep is the potato. When you are ready to bake, put the oven at 375 degrees. Wrap each potato in aluminum foil, glossy side. Potatoes evenly over the space of the oven rack bake for 90 minutes. Allow a little cool in the film. Skin slide easily, the potatoes are very soft, tender and moist. Season with cinnamon, sugar, butter, salt. Backed in this way makes the natural sugars in the potatoes are very important. Never fails!
What is the Best Way to Prepare Sweet Potatoes? Steam/Cooking?
It really depends on the type of texture you are reaching interested.
For potatoes / mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, whole sweet potatoes that have been purified to very delicately throughout the process (expressed with a knife, that time to check varies depending on the size of the potato). When potatoes Heaven everything, it makes them very easy to peel when they are cooled. This process produces wet potatoes so when mixed with milk, cream or coconut milk (if you are vegan), you get a smooth texture.
Whole resting potatoes produced in an oven at 350 degrees after washing with a soft and moist texture not. Simply cut in half and butter, honey, or salty toppings like black beans and salsa.
Cut potatoes into pieces and frying reduced to moisture from the plant. The outside is made of hard and hard sugar to chew as it breaks down in heat.
Also, do not throw the skins! You can for their dogs for a treatment that will be added to the foods.
Is it Eating Additional Health Benefits for Sweet Potatoes Raw?
Sweet potatoes, not potatoes and other starchy foods (such as most vegetables) taste cooked for a good reason. When cooking it can be easier to digest and use the body nutrients in this vegetable a lot of simple vegetables. They are also much nicer to taste.
To do this, undoubtedly, sweet potato is obviously not a fruit that can be consumed raw. But as I remember, I figure I ate sweet potato raw at home. It is still to be digested uncooked. Since the sweet potato, a high content of vitamins and minerals contains intact available when we hope consumes oil. Primarily vitamin C is destroyed by cooking. But of course, beta-carotenes without much tension make it useful, even cooked. The sweet potato contains a considerable amount of sugar in the after cooking also available. If I'm wrong, stay a little iron and potassium under the skin of sweet potatoes, which can be lost by peeling skins of potatoes. After cutting, when washing with water, there is also a chance of losing vitamins and minerals. Get well.
What are the Health Benefits of Sweet Potatoes on Simple White Potatoes?
Sweet potatoes have many benefits for the health and beauty of ordinary potato. They have a low GI, which means that the levels of blood sugar cause to decrease, which means you remain satiated and satisfied more. This can cause you to eat less and maybe even lose weight. They are also high in fiber, potassium and are rich in vitamins and minerals. They are still good for your skin with only one sweet potato contains the entire recommended vitamin A (known to help keep the skin in good condition) daily intake.
Final Line
The sweet potato has tons of vitamin A, vitamin C, minerals and a lot of food energy. It is a versatile food that can be like any other food, part of a healthy diet. They can also only serve some of the many delicious dishes or served.

Palestinian eviction case spotlights Jerusalem settler push
(AP) Ahmad Sub-Laban's family has lived for decades under threat of eviction from their home overlooking the gold-topped Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem's Old City. The experience inspired the 37-year-old Palestinian father of two to become a researcher for groups fighting attempts by Jewish settlers to move into properties in the city's central Arab areas. The Israeli Supreme Court is now poised to rule in the final legal battle over the apartment, and Mr. Sub-Laban has tapped into his network of contacts to try to halt the eviction by putting pressure on the Israeli government. Under a longstanding U.S. framework for a peace deal, Jerusalem would be divided into two capitals, with Jewish neighborhoods going to Israel and the Arab ones to Palestine. This complex arrangement becomes yet more challenging as more Jews move into Arab areas. Earlier this month, Jerusalem-based U.S. diplomat Dorothy Shea visited the Sub-Labans to express concern about their fate and the "pattern of evictions…"

High in the Caucasus Mountains, at the eastern end of the Black Sea, rests Georgia. Poised between the Arabic, Persian and Syriac cultures of Asia and the Greco-Roman world of the Mediterranean, Georgians have fashioned a unique civilization, integrating the some of the customs, ideas and traditions of these seemingly disparate societies with their own.
Christianity — which became the state religion in the eastern Georgian kingdom of Kartli by the fourth century — is as much responsible for the creation and survival of this distinctive nation as its unique language.
Strategically situated on this crossroads, tiny Georgia has repeatedly overcome far superior foes — Romans, Persians, Arabs, Mongols, Ottomans and Russians. And the Orthodox Church of Georgia, often described as the buttress of the nation, remains a formidable force in the lives of the country's 4.7 million people, 84 percent of whom belong to the church.
Byzantine and Coptic histories note that St. Matthias the Apostle first brought the Gospel to the Georgian kingdom of Kartli and died a martyr's death there around the year A.D. 80. Other Christian sources credit the apostles Andrew, Bartholomew, Simon the Zealot and Thaddeus with forming Christians among Georgia's Jewish communities in Kartli and Egrisi, the western Georgian kingdom known by the ancient Greeks as Colchis — the mythical land of Jason, Medea and the Golden Fleece.Modern archaeological evidence — the remains of second- and third-century Christian tombs as well as early fourth-century churches — indicates an early presence of the faith, particularly near the Black Sea coast. That Christianity was the official religion of Kartli by the year 337 is incontestable. Armenian, Byzantine, Georgian, Greek and Latin sources all indicate that, in circa 300, Nino, a woman from Cappadocia, left Jerusalem for Kartli in search of the robe from Christ's crucifixion.
"Equal to the apostles," as Georgians revere her today, St. Nino worked primarily among the kingdom's Jews, who were her first disciples. Written about a century after her death, "The Life of St. Nino" records the close relationship that existed between Nino and the Jews of Mtskheta (the capital of Kartli) as well as between the churches of Georgia and Jerusalem. It also details the conversion of King Mirian III, his establishment of Christianity as the faith of the kingdom and the erection of a shrine in Mtskheta to house the robe of Christ, known as the cathedral of Svetitskhoveli, or the "life-giving pillar."
The "life-giving pillar" still stands in the heart of the nation, the bells summoning the faithful from Georgia's mountains and valleys. To read more, click here.

20 December 2015 will be one great day to remember.
It was the day of the Christmas celebration at the Holy Family Church in Gaza, celebrating with members of the heroic small Latin parish who call Gaza home.
Again I was fortunate to be one of the few people of my status, a Palestinian East Jerusalem "resident" of the State of Israel, to be granted a one day permit to go to Gaza, despite the ongoing ban. I accompanied the official delegation of his Beatitude Patriarch Fouad Twal, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem.
The St. Joseph scout troop was there to receive us upon arrival with traditional Palestinian and Christmas songs. The drums were louder than ever to announce the arrival of the delegation. Shortly after arrival, His Beatitude opened the Door of Mercy at the Latin Parish Church in Gaza before celebrating the Christmas Mass with the parish members and the clergy. He was assisted by Bishop Marcuzzo from Nazareth and some 10 priests from the Latin Patriarchate who all came specifically for the day. The Superior General of the Rosary Sisters accompanied the delegation as well as the Superior of the Order of the Fathers of the Incarnate Word, the President of the Christian Schools Commission in Palestine, the Rev. Faisal Hijazin, and the Rev. Raed Abu Sahlieh, Director of Caritas Jerusalem.
In his homily, the patriarch reflected on the Year of Mercy, as well as on his continued prayers for peace and justice in our region. He affirmed his continued support and that of the Catholic Church for the small Catholic community of Gaza. He stated that he continuously prays for them, especially for an end of the blockade of Gaza and for unity within the Palestinians so that the situation there will improve and they will live a better life in the near future. He asked the people to remain steadfast and reminded them that they are suffering on earth and truly living the life of our Lord Jesus Christ who did not have an easy life in this land. He assured them that their suffering will not go unnoticed and that their rewards will be in heaven.
As soon as Mass ended, the renovated areas of the Latin parish complex were visited and blessed by his Beatitude. This included the newly renovated and refurbished parish center which was completely funded by CNEWA–Pontifical Mission. The renovated center includes a new library fully stocked with a variety of Christian books for all ages, as well as a new gymnasium with state of the art equipment, a sitting area and a kitchen, renovated rest rooms, and a large parish hall. During our visit, the first formal performance took place: a Christmas play by the parish children. All the children perfected their roles, and the long hours of practice as part of the CNEWA–Pontifical Mission "Oratorio" program paid off.
Aside from the official celebrations, there was noticeable respect granted to the official delegation by both the Israeli authorities at the Erez Crossing, as well as by the Palestinian government officials in Gaza who came to visit with his Beatitude and bid him and the parish congratulations for Christmas. Also noticeable was the large number of local and international press representatives who all wanted to interview many people so that the voices of the Christian community of Gaza are heard both locally and internationally.
One of the important people in attendance was Elias Manneh, the former Chairman of the Board of our partners, the Near East Council of Churches (NECC) in Gaza, who is now in retirement. He reminded me of a conversation we had six years ago when I first met him and we were discussing the dwindling Christian presence in Gaza as emigration was on the rise.
He said then: "Despite our small number, we are a force to be reckoned with. We are respected by the government and the larger community. Quality and not quantity is what counts in Gaza." Our wish for this small, but brave community is to enjoy the Christmas celebrations in Gaza, Many confided that although Israel issued permits for a full month (20 December 2015 through 20 January 2016) to hundreds of Christians from Gaza to enter the West Bank and Jerusalem (as was the case in previous years) it was rare that a complete family received the permits. The ban on youth aged 16-35 continues; none in this age group was granted a permit. The Rev. Mario da Silva, the parish priest at the Holy Family parish, will celebrate midnight Mass in his beautiful church. Undoubtedly the same prayers heard today will be repeated again for pace and jkustice for all in our Holy Land, especially for our suffering people in Gaza.
This was my shortest visit to Gaza. Despite the great joy of being able to be there for the day to show our solidarity with our brothers and sisters, I left with a heavy heart, knowing that most of them will not be able to join us in Bethlehem for the celebrations. Please keep the people of Gaza in your prayers and join me in wishing them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

There have been a number of times when having got my Raspberry Pi all set up and ready to take time-lapse photographs, or just when I think I have finished configuring it as a music player, the moment I tuck it away on a window sill or somewhere behind the hi-fi I discover I need to connect to it from my laptop to modify something, only to find I don't know or can't remember the IP address.
I could login to the router (or what ever box was acting as my DHCP server) and list all the current DHCP leases, but I generally find that it is quicker just to scan the network and see what is connected using 'nmap'.
Note – While using 'nmap' to scan your own home network is unlikely to upset anyone, scanning someone else's network with out their explicit permission is generally considered unfriendly and could get you into trouble.
Installing NMAP
If this handy tool isn't installed then you will have to install it using 'apt' which requires you to be running as a super user.
Then you need to update the current package list and install any updates before installing 'nmap' using 'apt'. (Updating your system before installing a new package can help avoid problems with dependencies on out of date packages breaking the install later).

Using NMAP to find you Raspberry Pi
You could do a ping scan but you Raspberry Pi may be set up to block ICMP ping requests, and it can take a while to scan a whole subnet. So I just use 'nmap' to perform a reverse DNS lookup for every address in the subnet – obviously you need to make sure you use the right network address (see below).

The longer command below may take a while to enter unless you are using cut and paste but it has the advantage of using the 'hostname' command to get the IP address of your machine so it will automatically do the reverse lookups using the correct range of addresses (assuming you have a class C subnet). I then use 'grep' to remove any results that don't match the first octet of the local subnet, so the output includes all machines on my local subnet that are known to the DNS server.

You can also use 'nmap' to try to obtain a bit more information about any machine on your network, in this case not a lot as this particular Raspberry Pi is configured as a secure ftp server.
However, you can still see which ftp server it is running and the version number, which is information that an attacker could use to identify any vunerabilities in the system. You can also see that all the unused ports are being filtered which indicates that there is a firewall rule in place to deny access to any port not explicitly allowed.

Spieth's gamble pays off on No. 11 at Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The shot was so risky that Jordan Spieth's caddie practically begged him not to try it Thursday in the Masters.
A great shot always beats a bad decision.
"That was one of the best shots I've ever hit in tournament competition given where it was," Spieth said of his escape from the pine trees on the 11th hole. "And I was laughing afterwards. That's how dumb the decision was, and pulled it off."
Jordan Spieth holds up his ball after putting on the 11th green during the first round of the Masters golf tournament Thursday, April 7, 2016, in Augusta, Ga. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)
Spieth was coming off a birdie on the 10th that put him at 4 under and in the lead during a deceptively windy day at Augusta National. He blocked his tee shot to the right on the 11th hole and didn't have many options. His ball was on the pine straw. By going through the widest gaps in the trees, he figured the best he could have done was punch it out to 100 yards or more from the green. His caddie, Michael Greller, at one point motioned back to the fairway.
Spieth picked the tiny gap in the trees.
"I would like, if anyone gets a chance, to go look at that shot," Spieth said after his 6-under 66. "Because Michael did everything in his power to call me off of hitting that shot. I had a 4-iron in my hands from about 210 (yards). And I had a gap where it had to rise over a tree, under another branch and split."
So why bother?
After all, this was only the opening round. He was off to a great start as the defending champion. All it takes is one mistake to make a big number.
Spieth liked what he saw.
"I knew the trajectory that was going to come off of my 4-iron, and it was the right club for the distance," Spieth said. "I thought that if it were to hit a couple of pine needles, worst case it knocks it down a little it stays short.
"So I liked the option, and Michael didn't," he said. "And I said, 'Just trust me on this one.' I actually hit it a touch fat, but I knew that as long as it split that gap that it should be OK."
It came off perfectly, though there was one last moment where Spieth held his breath. The ball took a hard hop to the left when it reached the green, running fast toward the water. He bit his lip. He grit his teeth and said quietly, "Bite." It held up on the collar, and Spieth repeatedly slapped his thigh.
He had to made a 7-foot putt to escape with par.
Asked if the fact he was 4 under and it was only the first round of a major ever came into the discussion, Spieth smiled.
"It should have," he said. "And I should not have hit the shot I hit."

Insofar as putting thoughts into words go, I guess I'm not really qualified to take up an issue with Arundhati Roy; she's a globally acknowledged, indeed, acclaimed writer, while I am no more than an inconsequential rarely-read salaried cog in the gigantic wheels of the print media. Having said that, I am very clear that I don't want my share of the accumulated pity that she thinks the nation collectively merits. So, here's my inadequate submission:
Arundhati has said that she "spoke about justice for the people of Kashmir who live under one of the most brutal military occupations in the world; for Kashmiri Pandits who live out the tragedy of having been driven out of their homeland; for Dalit soldiers killed in Kashmir whose graves I visited on garbage heaps in their villages in Cuddalore; for the Indian poor who pay the price of this occupation in material ways and who are now learning to live in the terror of what is becoming a police state."
I disagree with the effortless branding of Kashmir as "one of the most brutal military occupations in the world" – it is not pleasant, today, I am sure, but from 1948 to say, at least 1988, a period of well over four decades, Kashmir was a part of what we consider India – merged, integrated, acceded, depends on whom you ask – and for those four decades it was not part of India on the strength of a "brutal military occupation". Unlike German soldiers marching into Poland or Chinese troops invading Tibet, India did not have to "invade" Kashmir and then hold it from Day One by administering martial law or its equivalent. I don't mean to sound cheesy, but for years and years Bollywood didn't churn out those scenes of a beautiful, peaceful, idyllic Kashmir on the strength of shooting crews backed by hundreds of 'brutal soldiers' trying to create a pretence of normal, peaceful life. That's just how it was. Someone worked to change it. The question is – who?
Punjab, too, faced a decade of insurgency, something which we forget all too easily today. But it wasn't 'occupied' prior to that, it isn't 'occupied' today. Kashmir has faced more than a decade of insurgency, agreed, but to portray it as if everyone in Kashmir for all time has been subject to "one of the most brutal military occupations" does no justice to the intellect which Arundhati obviously possesses – more so in the context of the fact that the other friendly democratic states that border Kashmir, namely Pakistan and China, have no noticeable tradition of tender loving care extended by their respective militaries to people who question whether they belong to those states.
Having lived and worked in J&K for many years, as an editor, I have carried stories about remote hilly villages where terrorists surrounded hamlets of Gujjars and slit the throats of two dozen villagers to indicate the price of 'cooperation' extended to security forces patrolling the hills. When Bill Clinton came to India, we saw the carnage of 36 Sikhs in Chatttisinghpora – something which Arundhati's comrade in arms, Syed Ali Shah Geeelani, incredibly enough, still reiterates was 'done by India to defame Kashmiris'. There is no dearth of such instances – I quote only a couple to remind us all that Kashmir's brutal occupation is not quite as much of an innocent-lambs-being-led-to-slaughter scenario as Ms Roy perhaps sees it as.
When Arundhati says that she speaks for justice "for Kashmiri Pandits who live out the tragedy of having been driven out of their homeland", it is too ridiculous to even merit comment, given that she wants that justice to come while she shares a dias with Geelani. They were 'driven out of their homeland', Arundhati, by the brutal military occupiers of Kashmir, or by someone else? Driven out by whom? Why leave it to delightful ambiguities here? I do not know if Kashmiri Pandits give any weightage to her speaking ostensibly on their behalf. And the statistical chances of Pandits returning to Kashmir if the brutal military occupation ends tomorrow are slimmer than of Arundhati joining the BJP.
Arundhati seeks justice, too, "for Dalit soldiers killed in Kashmir whose graves I visited on garbage heaps in their villages in Cuddalore." This is slick if you are writing a column for a foreign audience, the way Aussie 'experts' wrote on the caste composition of the Indian cricket team during the Bhajji-Symonds spat, but, hello, "Dalit soldiers" killed in Kashmir die in situations different from upper caste soldiers or Sikh soldiers or Muslim soldiers – or local, Kashmiri Muslim policemen? Don't insult our intelligence, and the Army's basic DNA, with this line of argument. You wish to be the defender of the rights of those oppressed in Kashmir, of the Pandits, and of the "Dalit soldiers" from among the troops who die there day in and day out? Sorry, this is just not real, it's just not genuine, even if it is possibly good homework for global awards coming your way as defender of the rights of all oppressed sections in this part of the world.
Arundhati's also looking for justice "for the Indian poor who pay the price of this occupation in material ways and who are now learning to live in the terror of what is becoming a police state", but I have little comment to offer on this because, frankly, it is a little too esoteric for me to understand the point. I understand that India is in selective ways and selective zones a police state of sorts, but how insensitive policing in interior Bihar is attributable to Kashmir's status – and how Azadi will address that – must have a subtle connect which my everyday, non literary mind has singularly failed to grasp. But then, we are all not blessed with equal talents.
Anyway, this is not one of Ms Roy's essays, so I daren't type away endlessly. I'll conclude.
You say, Arundhati, "pity the nation that has to silence its writers for speaking their minds. Pity the nation that needs to jail those who ask for justice, while communal killers, mass murderers, corporate scamsters, looters, rapists, and those who prey on the poorest of the poor, roam free." I say, you are jumping the gun. Neither have you been silenced at any point for speaking your mind – distasteful as it may be to many when it veers towards applauding anyone willing to kill an Indian soldier, be it a Naxal in Chattisgarh or a terrorist in Kashmir – nor does the nation need to be pitied. Yet. Writers and dissidents are silenced, in friendlier and I suppose less 'brutal' societies such as Pakistan, China, Myanmar, but the very fact that you can issue statements and notes challenging the same to be done here is, perhaps, the strongest negation of those statements. Yes, many murderers, scamsters and rapists still roam free, and no, we aren't proud of that in the least, but no, you haven't been jailed for asking for justice. And I don't see that happening. Truth be told, I think you don't see it happening either.
So while one gives all credit to your intellectual prowess, I don't think this overdose of pity for the nation is quite deserved. It's a lot of hyperbole. As part of 'the nation', even if just one-billionth, I respectfully wish to return my proportion of pity offered by you, Ms Roy. Please accept it. And while you're at it, pass it on to Mr Geelani; I daresay he needs it more.

In other news, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is fantastic. And so's its bigger, image-editing brother...
Edit: additional photos available on Flickr!
Looks like you are getting a lot of very good material. The environment almost looks great, and by great I mean run-down and dirty and rusty.
cut the "almost", it was left over from editing :(
Its been quite a while since I posted here, but those photos just drew me in.
They're all interesting but I'd have to say that the first shot is the most intriguing, what could lie at the end of such a path in the MINERVA universe? A Combine workhouse? Rebel safehouse? Also ep2 props could be used very well to give a sense of nature reclaiming the area.
Still they're only references I suppose, but with these, the previous ones, the books and those great texture tests I can see Out of Time could be shaping up to be something very special, not that I should have ever have doubted that ofcourse.
1 - Intriguing - Follow the grey cobble path to freedom!
2 - BioShock? - Seriously, isn't that the thrower?
3 - Cranes! - Hot crane on crane combat
4 - Sulphurous - Look at all those phys_props!
5 - Ambush! - I hear the fast zombies howling!
And what about the 100+s of images that didn't make the final cut? That's just cruelty not posting all of them here! Oh, will these people make an appearence in the final mod?
Well, so far we know OoT will feature streets in the city and the filthy docks. Was I the only one thinking China when looking at these photoes?
New Theory: Minerva is a communist! Stalin is probably Freemas father! And Stalin is Minerva! Freeman is a communist!
Ehm... OoT is truly going to be awesome.
I haven't been around for bit myself and thought I would check back in. These reference photos provide some great possibilities for enviroments in the game! Keep up the good work!
If the point is to intrigue and tease us, I have to say Adam knows exactly what he's doing.
And, kast? It's prop_physics, not phys_prop, by the way. ;)
I'm always struck by how well-researched your work is.
Any chance you have higher-rez versions of those photos somewhere? The green one especially would make a rad desktop.
If you can make the actual maps look even half that good then this would be the enviorment I realy would like to be shot by overwatch ;-)
The first picture reminds me of Tresspasser's lab area.
Anyone else think picture 4 looks like an in-game shot from STALKER? :P
Nah, though that might be partly because there's no way my computer could possibly handle graphics that realistically ;)
