Thanks for the 40X Rhyno!
Best present I've received this year. Shoots pretty good too. It'll go with my collection nicely!
I put 50rnds of center-x through it. It shoots pretty well. Very windy today (20-30mph) so it's impossible to see what it will really do. The redfield 3200 20x is cool. The clicks were out of the elevation knob when it showed up, but I tightened it up and it works good now. The objective bell is contacting the front ring, so I'll need to move that and re-mount it.
I can keep testing or send it on. Just let me know. :)
@orkan Send it on to me for some testing! :)
Beautiful! Very nice stock..:smile:
Look fantastic! Can't wait to get that thing in my hands.
Glad you figured out the scope I don't know a thing about it.
Excited 😊
@rhyno Very nice rhyno!!
I re-mounted the scope. Definitely stress in there from the objective being clamped down against the ring base. Loosened everything up, centered it out, clamped it down... and shot some more. Really helped tighten it up as that first group was a good little cluster with no real stringing. I put a click into it and the wind leveled out just long enough to get an honest 5 down range. Nice rifle and a shooter to boot. :)
Well this things fun.
Now I need some better ammo and less wind to see what I can do behind it.
Trigger is really light, haha.
Awesome rifle there rhyno!!:smile:
Nice meeting you today. I see you both made it home in one piece. :)
Enjoy that rifle! If you ever need to sell it... I call dibs!
It was great meeting you today as well, Along with @brittel and @irish
Guys, I wanted one of these for a few years now, ever since seeing one of Gregs awhile back.
Foolishly I just kept putting it off, and putting other things in front of it, instead wasting money on other 22s thinking they would make do.
Well after watching @dddoo7 and @orkan shoot targets and targets with little bitty groups, or consistent poa/poi I finally grew tired of my Savage and decided to get a 40x.
Luckily it didn't take as long as I thought it would because I got some money back from the government this year, so when it came close to getting it back I PMed Greg here and asked him if I could send the rifle to him and have him look it over when I bought one. That way we would know if it shot, and he could give it a quick look over to see if anything needed fixed on it.
He agreed, and it wasn't very long (it might have even been the next day) that I got my return. So during lunch that day I was cruising GunBroker looking for one, and literally the last minute of lunch I spot this one. The pictures weren't the best, so I sent the seller a few questions, and then sent the listing to Greg to see what his thoughts were.
After talking with him I decided to just buy the thing and hope for the best, it came complete with the scope and the price was good.
I think Greg got the rifle last Thursday, and Friday he went over it and posted the results here. I asked him some questions, and told him that I'd swing up there today to get it.
When I got there I met Josh, and we chatted while we waited for Greg to arrive, Irish (who's name I already forgot sorry 😐) was helping a couple other customers and when he was done we chatted as well. Then Greg arrived, we introduced ourselves and started our paper work.
Guys, when I grabbed this thing out of the case, I was shocked, it was much heavier then my Savage, you could instantly tell this thing was a quality piece of gear. I asked Greg a few other questions and he explained to me a few things about the rifle and scope.
We went to go look for something after that, I think a tacops drag bag, and when I saw a DT SRS I asked if I could hold one, and Greg said yes so they found one. Man, now that's another great piece of gear! I only held it for a bit but man that was nice. I also got to play with a CPS Lite, and I'll probably be ordering one soon. He asked me if I wanted to look at anything else and I kind of joked that I didn't want to look through any scopes haha.
Great experience, great day, and I can't wait for May now.
Oh I forgot, Greg I have no plans of selling but if anything comes up I'll call you first.
Honestly I want another, so I can leave this one as is and make a trainer with the other one, but not anytime soon.
My first target, wasn't ideal standing over the hood of my truck, but I could tell when I missed easily.
That is so great rhyno!! I am happy for you, it looks and, from what I've seen shoots terrific.!!:smile:
This scope is interesting.
It's a Redfield 3200 20x
The parallax is inconvenient, but it's a neat scope.
The turrets are surprisingly not bad, I'd say they're better then my SWFA.
Looking forward to playing with it a bit.
Made in America at its peak really was as good as anything in the world and better than most. That rifle is a piece of history. Glad it is in the hands of someone that respects it.
It is all on you or the ammo now Rhyno.
Nice rifle.
That thing looks great. You are really gonna like it. My 40x is easily my favorite rifle to shoot.
Thats a really neat find, glad you were able to find one.
Now I'm really starting to rethink doing anything to my Savage. Once I get my 700 done, this maybe next on my list.
Oh and nice bag BTW. Hope its working out well for you.
It was nice to meet you too @rhyno Like I said 2 minutes after I met you I already forgot your name but will always remember your name on here. Looking forward to seeing you again in May and everyone else that attends.
@norcal_in_az said:

It's working great when I need it. It worked well today haha. Just kind of depends on the terrain between my TAB bag and your bag.

Ever since Twitter started taking back blue ticks from users on the pretext of paid blue tick service, it's been a hot topic in the tech world. Amid this Twitter's blue tick trend, suddenly Google's Gmail announced to start giving Blue Tick to verified senders. But Gmail's Blue Tick will be free, unlike Twitter.
Google talked about this new feature in its latest blog post. According to this blog post, this is an add-on feature to 2021 announced BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification). Let you know, the BIMI is a security standard that shows the logo or avatar on the sender's profile so that users can get to know about the senders before opening the mail.
Now, after rolling out this new feature, users will get more security as there will be a checkmark icon on users' mail IDs. This checkmark will help the users to be assured about the sender's authority as only verified Gmail users will get this checkmark on their Gmail ID. With this new feature, users will be able to differentiate the authorized and spam emails.
Google has already started to roll out this Gmail's Blue Tick feature. Even many Gmail account holders have got a checkmark on their profile. But what about other people who haven't got the Blue Tick on their profile? For those, here we are discussing some tips and tricks on How to get Blue Tick on your Gmail profile or to be verified on Gmail.
How to Get Blue Tick on Gmail? Get Verified on Gmail
The first thing to note about getting a blue tick on Gmail is this feature is not made for the end users but for organizations and companies. It is accessible for personal Gmail Accounts, Business Gmail accounts, and legacy G Suite Basic customers. But, is only having these accounts enough to get verified on Gmail?
Absolutely, not. Then how can you get Blue Tick on Gmail? Well, there is no guaranteed way to be a verified Gmail user and get a Blue Tick on Google so far. But, it doesn't mean that there is no way of it. The following are some tips that can help you get verified and get a blue tick on Gmail.
Set-Up BIMI
The foremost step to getting Blue Tick on Gmail is to set up your email-id's BIMI. Basically, it is an email authentication standard that allows account holders to display their logos in the email messages that they send. Although setting up BIMI is a lengthy and technical process at the same time. But, you can try to set up your Gmail's BIMI by following some basic steps which are;
- First, create a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) with the help of a BIMI Authorised Marking Authority.
- Add a new TXT record to your domain's DNS records containing the VMC data and publish it.
- Confirm that the DNS record is properly set up by utilizing a BIMI validator tool to check it.
- Request that email service provider, such as Gmail or Yahoo, enable BIMI for your domain.
- Once BIMI is enabled, your company's logo will be visible beside your email messages in email clients that support the feature.
As mentioned earlier, it is a lengthy process to set up the BIMI. If you cannot set it up after following these steps, you can take help from the Google Support page where the complete procedure is explained.
Go Through The DMARC
Going through the DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is the second step to getting Blue Tick on Gmail. Like the BIMI, it is also an email authentication standard that helps prevent email phishing and spoofing attacks by allowing domain owners to specify which emails should be accepted or rejected. You can follow the given steps to set up DMARC.
- Analyze your email infrastructure and identify which email domains need protection.
- Create a DMARC record in your domain's DNS settings, specifying the DMARC policy.
- Set the DMARC policy to "none" to begin monitoring email traffic.
- Use a DMARC monitoring tool to collect and analyze DMARC reports.
- Update the DMARC policy to "quarantine" or "reject" to instruct email receivers to quarantine or reject emails that fail the DMARC authentication check.
Maybe you face difficulties while setting it up so you can seek technical help from an experienced professional. Also, you can follow the Google Support page that explains this in-depth.
Final Checks
After setting up BIMI and DMARC, you have to check some last points that play a vital role in getting Blue Tick on Gmail. And those points are:
- The logo you submitted at the time of BIMI has to be issued by security companies like DigiCert and Entrust.
- Your ID logo has to be verified with VMC (Verified Mark Certificate).
Verdict Words
No doubt the receiver will get benefits of this feature as the Blue Tick on the Gmail profile will create one more security layer to identify spam or phishing emails. Along with the receivers, Blue Tick in Gmail will be helpful for the senders as well. This Blue Tick on the Gmail profile will increase the chances of reaching senders' messages to receivers as the checkmark shows the authority of the sender. And users got more confidence to open authorized mail sent by a verified user.

West Bengal, one of the most populous states in India, has a rich cultural heritage and a long history of political activism. Since gaining independence from British colonial rule in 1947, West Bengal has undergone significant changes in its political landscape. The state's government policies have played a crucial role in shaping the lives of its citizens and driving economic growth.
This article aims to provide an overview of the Government Policies Of West Bengal implemented by West Bengal's state government. We will explore policies related to education, healthcare, infrastructure development, agriculture, women empowerment, social welfare and economic growth. By examining these policies and their impact on the state's economy and society as a whole, we can gain insight into how effective they have been in addressing the needs of West Bengal's population.
Key Takeaways
- West Bengal has implemented various policies in education, healthcare, agriculture, women empowerment, social welfare, and economic growth.

Overview of West Bengal's Political Landscape
The current political landscape of West Bengal can be analyzed through an objective lens, taking into consideration the historical and socio-economic factors that have contributed to the state's unique political climate. The state has a multi-party system with major players being the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM), and Indian National Congress (INC). The TMC has been in power since 2011, with Mamata Banerjee as the Chief Minister.
West Bengal is known for its volatile election scenario characterized by violence, booth capturing, rigging and intimidation. The state has seen a significant shift in its political landscape over the years with the decline of Left Front dominance and emergence of regional parties like TMC. In recent years, BJP has emerged as a strong contender to TMC, making significant gains in terms of vote share.
Despite these changes, West Bengal remains one of the few states where national parties like INC and CPM still hold a considerable share of votes. With elections around the corner in 2021, it remains to be seen whether Mamata Banerjee-led TMC will retain power or if BJP will make further inroads into one of India's most politically significant states.
Moving on from this complex political scenario, we now delve into another area crucial for any state – education policies.
1. Education Policies
Education reforms in West Bengal have been aimed at improving access to education, increasing enrollment rates, and enhancing the quality of education. The state government has implemented various policies and initiatives to achieve these goals.
Some of the key education reforms include providing free education for girls up to the undergraduate level and introducing skill development initiatives such as vocational training programs. Additionally, the state has focused on strengthening infrastructure by building new schools and upgrading existing ones with modern facilities like libraries, laboratories, and computer rooms.
Another significant initiative is the Kanyashree Prakalpa scheme which aims to empower adolescent girls from economically disadvantaged families through financial assistance for continuing their studies. This scheme has been successful in reducing school dropout rates among girls and promoting gender equality in education. These efforts towards improving access to quality education have helped West Bengal become one of the leading states in terms of literacy rates in India.
Moving forward, it is imperative that these policies are sustained and further developed so that students can continue receiving a high-quality education regardless of their socioeconomic background. In the next section, we will discuss how health policies play an equally crucial role in ensuring a better future for citizens in West Bengal.
2. Health Policies
Improving the overall health and well-being of citizens in the region has been a key focus of recent initiatives in West Bengal. In order to achieve this goal, the government has launched several public health initiatives aimed at increasing healthcare accessibility for all. One such initiative is the Swasthya Sathi scheme, which provides free medical treatment to families with an annual income below Rs 1.5 lakh. This scheme covers not only hospitalization costs but also expenses incurred for diagnostic tests and medicines.
Another step taken by the government towards improving healthcare accessibility is the introduction of telemedicine facilities in remote areas of the state. This technology-driven initiative allows patients living in remote areas to get a consultation from specialist doctors through video-conferencing without having to travel long distances. Additionally, mobile clinics have been introduced to provide basic medical services to people living in underprivileged areas.
Overall, these public health initiatives have had a positive impact on healthcare accessibility and have helped improve overall health outcomes in West Bengal. However, there is still much more that needs to be done, especially when it comes to upgrading existing healthcare infrastructure and addressing issues related to staffing and equipment shortages. The next section will discuss how government policies are working towards improving infrastructure across various sectors including transportation and communication networks- both essential components for modernizing healthcare delivery systems while ensuring better access throughout rural regions where people often lack access or are unable due poor connectivity options available today!
3. Infrastructure Policies
Modern infrastructure is a crucial element in developing nations like West Bengal, with policies focused on expanding transportation and communication networks being essential for improving healthcare accessibility. To achieve this objective, the government of West Bengal has implemented several improvement plans aimed at upgrading the state's infrastructure. A notable example is the Kolkata Metro Rail Project, which aims to enhance intra-city transport by connecting different parts of Kolkata.
Another aspect of infrastructure development that the government of West Bengal has prioritized is budget allocation towards road construction and maintenance. The State Highway Development Programme (SHDP) was launched in 2017 as part of these efforts, with a focus on constructing new roads and bridges while maintaining existing ones. This program not only improves transportation but also provides employment opportunities for local communities.
Overall, West Bengal's infrastructure policies are geared towards enhancing connectivity across different regions within the state. By investing in modernizing transportation and communication systems, the government aims to improve access to facilities such as healthcare centers and educational institutions that were previously inaccessible due to poor connectivity. In the subsequent section about agriculture policies, we will explore how this improved connectivity can benefit farmers in rural areas through better market access.
4. Agriculture Policies
The state of West Bengal has implemented several policies to support the agricultural sector. One such policy is the Krishak Bandhu Scheme, which provides financial assistance to farmers and their families in case of accidental death or disability. Additionally, the Crop Insurance Scheme aims to protect farmers from crop failure due to natural calamities by providing insurance coverage for their crops. Another important initiative is the Kisan Credit Card Scheme, which offers credit facilities to farmers for agricultural activities at a subsidized rate of interest.

5. Krishak Bandhu Scheme
Implemented in 2019, the Krishak Bandhu Scheme is a welfare program aimed at providing financial assistance and social security to farmers and their families in West Bengal. The scheme provides two types of benefits: life insurance and assistance for crop loss. Under the life insurance component, each farmer is eligible for a sum assured of INR 2 lakh (approximately USD 2,700) in case of natural or accidental death. Additionally, if the farmer dies due to suicide within one year from the date of policy commencement, his/her nominee will receive an amount equal to the premium paid by the deceased farmer.
The crop loss assistance component provides compensation for farmers who suffer crop loss due to natural calamities such as droughts, floods or cyclones. Farmers can claim up to INR 25,000 per hectare for single crops and up to INR 30,000 per hectare for multiple crops. This scheme has been well received by farmers as it provides them with much-needed financial support during times of distress while also promoting rural development in West Bengal. Moving on to the subsequent section about 'crop insurance', this government policy aims at mitigating losses incurred by farmers due to unforeseen events such as pests attacks or diseases affecting crops.
Crop Insurance Scheme
One of the key measures aimed at reducing the financial burden on farmers in India is the Crop Insurance Scheme. This scheme provides a safety net against crop failures caused by natural calamities or other unforeseen events. The scheme offers crop insurance benefits to farmers, compensating them for losses incurred due to factors beyond their control such as droughts, floods, cyclones or pest attacks.
The implementation challenges of this scheme are numerous and range from inadequate coverage and delayed payments to lack of awareness among farmers and complicated claim procedures. Despite these challenges, the Crop Insurance Scheme has helped many farmers recover from crop losses and has provided a much-needed cushion in times of distress. As we move on to discuss the Kisan Credit Card Scheme, it is important to note that this policy initiative builds upon the foundation laid by schemes like Crop Insurance in supporting Indian agriculture and its stakeholders.
Kisan Credit Card Scheme
Agricultural financing has been a significant challenge for small and marginal farmers in India. However, the Kisan Credit Card Scheme has emerged as an effective tool to provide credit facilities and meet their financial needs. This scheme was introduced by the government of India in 1998, and it aims to provide affordable credit to farmers for agricultural and allied activities.
The Kisan Credit Card Scheme provides numerous benefits, such as providing timely access to credit at lower interest rates, flexible repayment options, and easy accessibility through various channels like banks and ATMs. Additionally, the eligibility criteria are straightforward, making it easier for farmers to apply for the scheme. The scheme is available to all farmers who own land or cultivate crops. It also extends coverage to fishermen, artisans involved in allied activities like dairy farming or horticulture.
In conclusion, the Kisan Credit Card Scheme has been instrumental in addressing challenges related to agricultural financing faced by small and marginal farmers in India. As we move on to discuss employment policies in West Bengal's governance structure, it is essential to note that schemes like these help create job opportunities by supporting rural livelihoods through agriculture-based activities.
6. Employment Policies
The employment policies of West Bengal have been a subject of interest and scrutiny in recent years, with a focus on their effectiveness in addressing the state's job market challenges. The government has implemented various initiatives to create jobs and increase employability for its citizens. Here are some key strategies that have been employed:
- Skill Development Programs: The state government has established various training centers to provide vocational training programs across different sectors. These programs aim to enhance the skills of individuals and make them more employable.
- Industrial Growth: West Bengal has introduced several measures to promote industrial growth within the state. One such initiative is the setting up of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) which offer tax benefits, subsidies, and other incentives to attract investment from both domestic and foreign companies.
- Entrepreneurship Development: The state government has also launched several entrepreneurship development programs aimed at encouraging self-employment opportunities among its youth. These include offering financial assistance, guidance on business planning, marketing support, etc.
Overall, these job creation strategies have shown positive results in reducing unemployment rates in West Bengal. However, there is still room for improvement as many individuals continue to face barriers when it comes to finding sustainable employment opportunities.
Moving forward into the subsequent section about 'women empowerment policies', it is important to note that gender-based discrimination is a significant challenge faced by women seeking employment opportunities in West Bengal. Despite this fact, the government has taken several steps towards promoting equal opportunities for women in the workforce through various schemes and initiatives.
7. Women Empowerment Policies
West Bengal has been implementing various employment policies to promote job opportunities and increase the state's economic growth. However, it is also crucial to note that the government has been making efforts to address gender inequality in the workplace. This leads us to the current subtopic of women empowerment policies.
The West Bengal government recognizes that promoting gender equality is vital in achieving sustainable development goals. Thus, they have implemented several programs aimed at empowering women and ensuring their rights are protected. One such program is Kanyashree Prakalpa, which provides financial assistance to adolescent girls and young women who want to continue their education or vocational training.
Moreover, the West Bengal government also introduced Rupashree Prakalpa, which aims to provide one-time financial assistance for marriage expenses of economically challenged families' daughters. These initiatives show the state's commitment towards addressing gender inequality and empowering women in all aspects of life.
Moving forward, it is essential for policymakers to continue prioritizing women empowerment policies. By providing equal opportunities for men and women, we can ensure a more just society where everyone can contribute their skills and abilities fully. In our subsequent section about social welfare policies, we will discuss how West Bengal's government has been working towards creating an inclusive society that values every citizen regardless of their socio-economic status.
8. Social Welfare Policies
Social welfare initiatives have been implemented in the state of West Bengal to improve the living conditions and well-being of its citizens. The state government has taken several measures to address issues related to poverty, malnutrition, and healthcare. One such initiative is the 'Khadya Sathi' scheme, which aims to provide subsidized food grains to more than 90% of the population of West Bengal. Another noteworthy social welfare program is the 'Sabuj Sathi' scheme, which provides bicycles to students in rural areas for free transportation.
However, despite these efforts towards social welfare, there are implementation challenges that need to be addressed. For instance, there have been reports of corruption and mismanagement in the distribution of food grains under the Khadya Sathi scheme. In addition, while schemes like Sabuj Sathi are commendable in their intent, they may not be sufficient in addressing deeper issues such as inadequate infrastructure and lack of access to education in rural areas.
To ensure that these policies are effective and reach their intended beneficiaries, it is crucial for regular evaluations to take place. These evaluations should assess whether these programs are meeting their objectives and benefiting those who need them most. Additionally, it is important for policymakers to consider introducing new policies that address underlying problems rather than solely focusing on providing temporary relief.
Moving forward into economic growth policies, it is essential for the government of West Bengal to continue prioritizing investments towards sustainable development that benefits all sections of society.
9. Economic Growth Policies
Economic growth policies in the state of West Bengal prioritize sustainable development for the benefit of all citizens. The government has implemented various measures to promote industries and investment in the state. One such initiative is the creation of a single-window system to facilitate ease of doing business, reducing bureaucratic red tape and promoting transparency. Additionally, a land bank has been created to provide investors with readily available land for setting up businesses.
The state government has also established several investment incentives such as subsidies on power tariffs, tax exemptions and rebates. These incentives aim to attract both domestic and foreign investors into the state, boosting economic activity and creating employment opportunities for its citizens. Furthermore, priority sectors have been identified by the government which include IT/ITeS, textiles, food processing, renewable energy and tourism.
The implementation of these economic growth policies has had a positive impact on West Bengal's economy. The state has recorded steady economic growth over the years with an average annual growth rate of 7%. Moreover, new job opportunities have been created which have helped reduce unemployment rates in the state. As we move on to discuss the impact of these policies on various sectors in West Bengal, it is important to note that these initiatives have set a strong foundation for sustainable economic development in the state.
10. Impact of Government Policies
The implementation of various initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable development and attracting investment in the state has had far-reaching impacts on different sectors in West Bengal. One of the most significant impacts is observed in the industrial sector, where the government's policies have brought about a surge in new investments and improved infrastructure. However, there are challenges that need to be addressed for effective implementation of these policies.
One of the major implementation challenges faced by the government is ensuring stakeholder feedback in policy-making processes. The interests and needs of different stakeholders must be considered to ensure successful implementation and avoid unintended consequences. Thus, it is essential for policymakers to engage with industry leaders, business associations, civil society organizations, and other relevant stakeholders while formulating policies.
Despite some challenges in implementing these policies, their impact on West Bengal's economy cannot be ignored. The state has witnessed an increase in job creation opportunities and economic growth due to these initiatives. As a result, West Bengal has become a preferred destination for investors looking to set up businesses or expand existing ones. Going forward, it will be crucial for policymakers to continue to monitor the effectiveness of these policies periodically and make necessary changes based on feedback from stakeholders.

Cleanup is quick and easy. Important: always finish with a drizzle of oil spread evenly over the entire plate, including the edges, at the end of each use, to protect it from oxidation.
The Rainbow range has been designed to enhance your garden or kitchen with its unique design. Its double-walled frame is a safety feature for family use. Simogas quality in a perfect design.

Do you have a real relationship with God, or do you just have a religion? Do you know God, or do you just know about God? Do you worry about the smallest things, or do you trust God to help you through even the biggest things? Have you ever considered a relationship with God that has no limits, with a God powerful enough to enable you to think, love, and live differently?
When I read these words as reflection questions as a preparation for prayer, my response was to judge them as too intellectual too focused on the mental and lacking in the spiritual mood that I judged to be necessary for prayer. Then the awareness descended: How can I pray to God when I am setting the expectations for the relationship with Him? Why am I not treating God as my friend? My relationship question evolved into: How do I learn to let go and let God lead? How can I deepen my friendship with God? In answer the Holy Spirit led me to this Prayer Maturity Track.
A note of caution is necessary here. These track steps are to be taken slowly. That is over several weeks. They are starting points for reflections before prayer. They are intended to help open us to allow us to let go of habits that limit us by causing us to want to understand and know before we trust. These habits inhibit our ability to humble ourselves and surrender to God's will when we attempt to pray. Faith works when we trust God first and we act in faith then the Spirit comes to bring assurance and understanding.
Some of the steps have suggested readings included. If you find reading the Bible at times confusing try using the scriptural prayer form LectioDivina which is designed to help us approach the reading not only to encounter the text but also to experience the moment related and to place one within the movements of the Spirit. The steps for LectioDivina can be obtained from several texts and also from many web sites.
The Steps
DEEPENING OUR PERSONAL THEOLOGY [DECERNING the ONTOLOGY of GOD]
This pray topic focuses on how do we speak about God? How do we value God? Another way to measure our understanding of the essence of God is to ask how big is your God? (God is too big to fit in our head) Am I willing to let God be mystery? Reading Exodus 34:29-35. [Note: Theology - how one speaks about God or how one describes God's dimensions. Ontology - study of being, essence]
The old hymn: Count Your Blessings is a good place to begin this assessment but a more profound insight can be gained by reflecting on Psalm 139 (use the New Revised Standard translation) [Note: Praise can imply Value i.e. In our praise we show what value we place in object of praise]
What does God sound like? 1st Kings 19:3-16. [Note: focus on verses 11-13] Seeking God's will can mean listening to the yearning to be in His presence.
EXPERIENCING A DEEPENING of OUR FAITH & TRUST
Are we willing to step out of the boat and walk to Jesus? Matthew 14:25-31.
God's will is revealed in what He calls us to do. Consider Ananias: Acts 9:10-19.
Reflections on how to receive our gifts: let the gifts affect us; open our heart; do not measure the potential value or risk; let the giver see you use and enjoy your gifts. Luke 1:26-38.
Live in hope, do not seek to avoid trials; limit the need to be happy all the time trust God to be in charge. Psalm 23:1-6
NOTE: Faith growth is not a solo enterprise. We need to be servants for Christ. We grow best when we assist others meet their needs instead of just seeking to fulfil our own needs.
The Meaning Of The Feast of Christ the King and Advent »
On November 20th we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King. It is one of many opportunities the Catholic Liturgical Church year offers to each of us consider the creature which is called time, receive it as a gift and begin to really live differently.
Do you have a real relationship with God? »
Do you have a real relationship with God, or do you just have a religion? Do you know God, or do you just know about God? Do you worry about the smallest things, or do you trust God to help you through even the biggest things? Have you ever considered a relationship with God that has no limits, with a God powerful enough to enable you to think, love, and live differently?
This generation of youth and their conduct have posed to be a source of worry for many of the older generations. As much as the world is advancing, one cannot really see the benefit on the youth of our time, most of them are losing value for life.
7 Financial Habits of Successful Entrepreneurs »
Most of us are familiar with the typical habits of successful people -wake up early, eat breakfast, build a network. But what about the financial habits?
The beauty of The Thrill of the Chaste, and indeed, of the Catholic Church's approach to chastity and love in general, is that it proposes a lifestyle that is both dynamic and practical, both challenging and peaceful. Chastity is the ability to moderate our own sexual desires, and involves much more than simply saying "no" to sex before marriage
One of the errors of Pelagianism was the assertion that prayer is not necessary for salvation. Pelagius, the impious author of that heresy, said that man will only be damned for neglecting to know the truths necessary to be learned.
St. Andrew »
Feast Day: November 30
Patron Saint Of: Fisherman
Andrew, like his brother Simon Peter, was a fisherman. He became a disciple of the great St. John the Baptist, but when John pointed to Jesus and said, "Behold the Lamb of God!" Andrew understood that Jesus was greater. At once he left John to follow the Divine Master. Jesus knew that Andrew was walking behind him, and turning back, he asked, "what do you seek?" When Andrew answered that he would like to know where Jesus lived, Our Lord replied, "Come and see." Andrew had been only a little time with Jesus when he realized that this was truly the Messiah.
The True Meaning of Advent»
What is the best way to prepare for the season of Advent? You're free to do what you know will help you prepare for Christmas the best. If decorating and so forth does not help you prepare for the coming of Christ, you can be the judge of whether it's worth doing.
Trust in the Lord — Bishop Barron»
Friends, a connection with God leads to life and flourishing. When we sever that connection, we experience a drought similar to the one in our first reading today. The Lord responds to our needs, so trust in his providence, and he will not abandon you.

I started using machines to create muy art work in 1971, when I arrived from Madrid to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and enter to the Generative Systems Department created in 1970 by the artist and resercher Sonia Sheridan. I discovered all the potentials that machines offered us to generate images.
The use of the first 3M Color Copier just invented was magic. The possibility to work directly on the screen with the objects: to unify the three dimensions in two, to build the composition directly on the glass, moving and performing while the machine was processing the image. We were painting mainly with the light of the machine, through our movement, through our body, through ourselves ,
In my working process, I use objects and images as an autobiographical reference, as a metaphor, as a symbol. In my iconography has been implicit the psychological aspects of feminism in an imbrication between esthetic technique and concept.
I use this technology overlapping two ways as a tool to process instantaneous reproduction creating secuences, and as a language to conform my personal concept to develop and integrate it in the language of the machine in a simbiosis of both. intervening in the process time, space and motion.
The work that came from the copier was considered "just a photocopy" without any commercial connotation. Women were not worried in positioning her work commercially oriented, we felt absolutely free doing our research.

Cargo transfer operations in high gear BY WILLIAM HARWOOD SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: March 15, 2001 The Discovery astronauts spent the day loading the Leonardo cargo module with trash and discarded equipment from the international space station while the lab's departing crew members briefed their replacements on the finer points of operating the growing outpost. Completing this handover process is critical, flight controllers say, to make sure Expedition Two commander Yury Usachev, James Voss and Susan Helms are up to speed on the station's complexities and idiosyncracies before Discovery departs Saturday.
"They're right now trying to learn the ropes of the international space station from the Expedition One crew. They are zooming back and forth trying to figure out everything that goes on." At the same time, Kelly and his three shuttle crewmates are racing the clock to repack the Leonardo cargo module with trash and discarded equipment that's no longer needed on the station. Some 9,650 pounds of equipment and supplies carried into orbit inside the module have now been transferred into the space station, including the first suite of science experiments, computer work stations for operating the lab's robot arm, a compact medical facility and components of the station's Ku-band communications system. "We are working on the Leonardo, repacking that to go back in the Discovery's payload bay and bring it back home," Kelly said. "And once that's done, we'll round up the seven of us that are coming home, which is the four of us that went up and the three from the Expedition One crew, and we'll do an undock and hopefully a fly-around." "We're bringing back a whole bunch of logistics and supplies that are no longer necessary and frankly, a lot of trash and things like that that we want to clear out of station.
NASA flight controllers say the mission is proceeding on schedule with no problems of any significance. "We had 10 astronauts working really hard today," said lead flight director John Shannon. "The Expedition One/Expedition Two crew members are spending most of their time right now doing handover tasks. "The Expedition One team is working very hard teaching the Expedition Two team all they need to know about the workings of space station Alpha. "The four shuttle crew members that are left have spent most of their time doing transfers from the Leonardo module," Shannon said. "They got it all unpacked and they're working very hard on the return stowage." Shannon said he was struck by how large the international space station has become and how much volume is available in Leonardo to carry equipment up and down. "It really brings home the fact that this is the largest space station ever put in Earth orbit," he said. "And if you saw (Expedition One commander) Bill Shepherd's video of him translating through the lab, the node and into Leonardo, you get an idea of how immense this is. "Also, how much stowage we can put in Leonardo. It's very impressive, but it's quite a daunting task over the next couple of days to get all the stowage put back in Leonardo. But we're sure happy we have that capability." If all goes well, the Italian-built cargo module will be detached from the space station early Saturday and reberthed in Discovery's cargo bay. The shuttle is scheduled to undock from he station around 10:54 p.m. Saturday evening. |

LA rental data for the past year reflects a broader trend of rising prices in the suburbs. Rents rose in Calabasas and Santa Clarita, but fell in Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and downtown LA between May 2020 and May 2021. That's data from Apartment List, a property listing service, according to Crosstown LA, a local data journalist who examined rents in nine Los Angeles County cities.
"We spoke to real estate analysts and they said residents appreciate the space in front of the local amenities," says Crosstown reporter Taylor Mills. "They would rather have a larger garden, they would rather have a larger apartment and perhaps pay that extra charge than being closer to restaurants and bar scenes."

However, the company has cleared that this is not an attempt to directly ride the crypto wave. Instead, they simply want to offer services and technologies that the companies can use with Web3. Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, said that they are looking to create value and contribute to the ecosystem as a company.
What is web3?
Web3 is a notion for a new generation of the World-Wide-Web based on blockchain technology, which includes principles like decentralization and token-based economy. Some engineers and journalists have compared it to Web 2.0, in which data and content are consolidated in a small handful of businesses known as "Big Tech."
Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood created the phrase "Web3" in 2014, and the concept piqued the interest of cryptocurrency enthusiasts, huge technological corporations, and venture capital organizations in 2021. In other words, one can say Web3 is a replacement for Web2 and aims to take control of the internet away from giant companies and place it in the hands of the users.

Amid the roiling debate over the impact of the internet on democracy, we reflect on a recent contribution to this topic in these pages by Francis Fukuyama, who proposes that internet companies open their platforms to outside content-moderation services. We support exploring new approaches that promote greater user control and autonomy on social media platforms but take issue with his narrow definition of the problem. While the core issues of agency and power in democratic systems will not be resolved by better technology, improving design can make a positive impact. Whole-of-society problems will ultimately require whole-of-society thinking and action.
This essay is a part of an exchange based on Francis Fukuyama's "Making the Internet Safe for Democracy" from the April 2021 issue of the Journal of Democracy.
Far removed from the techno-optimism inspired a decade ago by prodemocracy movements using digital tools to organize, today's discussions are mired in a gloomier—and more realistic—place. Scholars and pundits now frequently argue that the internet, in its current form, is a threat to democracy. Much of their critique takes aim at the consolidation of power in the hands of large internet platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google, and what these companies do—and do not do—with this power.
The eminent political scientist Francis Fukuyama lends his voice to the coalition of the concerned in a recent article in these pages, summarizing the work of a Stanford-based group of scholars who examined the scale, scope, and power of platforms, the potential for their abuse, and possible remedies. Arguing that the key threat to democracy is the platforms' potential to sway election outcomes, he proposes a strategy to reduce platform power: Require companies to open their platforms to outside content-moderation services called "middleware," thereby giving users more options to curate the material they see online.
From our perspective, Fukuyama's diagnosis of the digital threats to democracy is far too narrow. He effectively dismisses the impact and threat of bad actors that exploit the openness of online forums to distort and manipulate political debate and suppress participation by historically marginalized voices through harassment and threats. Fukuyama also sidesteps the "elephant in the room": right-wing political forces in the United States that have embraced a decidedly antidemocratic strategy which leverages the amplification power of social media to sway public [End Page 152] attention. This same problem extends around the globe. Governments in India, Turkey, Brazil, and the Philippines, to name a few, have applied authoritarian impulses to the internet, manipulating online discourse and harassing opponents. While there are numerous digital threats to democracy, more technology cannot solve the problem of misinformation-at-scale. On the positive side, middleware would offer users greater choice in terms of how the content they encounter is moderated. Yet we should also anticipate that middleware will be coopted by the same forces that are currently working to undermine democracy with all the tools at their disposal.
In the United States, where policy makers have long been growing wary of the immense power of internet platforms, openness to new regulatory action is building on both sides of the aisle. This might include antitrust action or revisions to Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, which offers platforms protection against liability for their users' actions. While many laud a growing bipartisan consensus that large internet platforms are not serving the public interest, this consensus is no more than a veneer covering profound disagreement along political lines.
Critics on the political left are far more likely to assert that platforms are not doing enough to root out extremism, online abuse, and disinformation. This perspective is informed by the brazen disinformation campaigns that circulated on social-media platforms during the 2016 and 2020 U.S. elections, and more recently by the flood of medical disinformation related to the covid-19 pandemic. A core argument in favor of greater platform action, to which our research has contributed, is that the openness of the internet enables malicious actors to build their power by spreading disinformation, exacerbating social divisions, and harassing or threatening their opponents into silence, and that big-tech companies bear a responsibility to address harms perpetrated on their platforms. Adding further cause for concern, operating disinformation campaigns is politically expedient and immensely profitable.
The critique from the right is that platforms disproportionately and unfairly target conservative voices. In this view, rather than not doing enough, content moderation is going too far. Emblematic of this divide are opinions on the fate of Donald Trump's social-media accounts. Even among those on the left who are uneasy about the power of platforms and the troubling precedent of selectively cutting off political leaders, there is support for enforceable standards of conduct that apply even to presidents. Many on the right, meanwhile, view the deplatforming of Trump and other right-wing figures as motivated solely by partisanship. We should be clear that Trump and his allies exploited the openness and scale of social media in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. His call to action leading up to the January 6 insurrection would not have been as effective without [End Page 153] platforms' power to facilitate mass protests—a feature that we celebrated until recently.
Although he does not frame it in these terms, Fukuyama enters into this debate and sides with the conservatives. Referring to the false claims by Trump supporters that the Democrats stole the 2020 election, Fukuyama writes that it is "neither normatively acceptable nor practically possible to prevent them from expressing opinions to this effect. For better or worse, people holding such views need to be persuaded, and not simply suppressed." Noting that we cannot rely on Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey or Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg to do "the right thing," he then shifts attention to the "underlying problem, which is one of excessively concentrated power" (p. 39). This feels a bit like rhetorical sleight of hand. In essence, Fukuyama asserts that platforms should not moderate political speech and that it would not work anyway, so we should focus on the accumulation of power by platforms. But when politicians gain clout by abusing digital services, perhaps it is not the tech companies whose power should worry us the most.
Fukuyama seems to be making a renewed argument in favor of the marketplace of ideas as the best hope for U.S. democracy, or perhaps simply throwing in the towel on addressing political disinformation. In our view, the evidence clearly shows that the marketplace of ideas in the United States is broken and that more speech, something which the internet has been wildly successful at producing, has not been a remedy for bad speech. In a letter to the United Nations regarding disinformation's impact on freedom of expression, our research team argues that disinformation is displacing the truth by merit of both its sheer volume and campaign operators' success in exploiting social media's very design.1
There is an institutionalist argument that we need gatekeepers for the marketplace of ideas to function well, an argument that Fukuyama has made in the past. Internet platforms have uneasily moved into this role in response to a combination of market and societal pressures. A key question is whether they should be gatekeepers at all. Critics of the current system rightly point out that social-media platforms make their decisions with profitability in mind, an incentive structure that does not always align with the public interest. It is also true that the decisions companies make are shaped by political and social pressures. In fact, politics shapes technology recursively as technology shapes politics, a dynamic that has played out around the globe to the detriment of journalism, democracy, and public health.
Right now, the platforms are attempting to enforce norms of behavior that they are making up as they go. Many commentators take issue with companies' relative lack of transparency in developing and applying content-moderation policies, as well as the many errors in implementation. Given the central role that platforms play in modern public life, [End Page 154] there is also widespread disquiet over private actors serving as arbiters of truth and acceptable conduct. Yet outside of a few platforms that specialize in hosting extremist content, very few argue that lines should not be drawn marking at least some conduct as impermissible. As a cost of their success, platforms must now balance the needs and desires of a vast number of stakeholders, many of them highly vocal. The ongoing debate—likely never to be resolved—is over where exactly to draw the lines and how to better ensure that content-moderation standards serve the public interest, balancing the value of free speech against the damage to institutions and individuals wrought by saboteurs, scammers, and trolls.
We can agree that the current system is not up to the challenges at hand, that it is at times unjust and arbitrary, and that platforms have a responsibility to do better. That in itself, however, is not a good argument for dismantling the system or paring it back before better alternatives can be identified.
Allowing users to choose outside algorithms to curate their information feeds is not a new idea, but it does have considerable allure. Such a system could tap into the underutilized expertise of librarians in sorting out knowledge from information. Hiring thousands of librarians could form the core of a middleware industry that ensures that a semblance of the truth still circulates.
A government-mandated middleware architecture would face its own set of political hurdles, but enabling such services to "plug in" is something that platforms could explore voluntarily. Limited experiments would give a better understanding of how middleware services operate in real-life settings and whether the benefits exceed the costs. Researchers must also consider how effective giving users a choice of filters will be when many may know little about how algorithms curate content in the first place.
The middleware concept would functionally break up platforms into smaller pieces with different priorities and policies when it comes to presenting ideas, viewpoints, and sources of information. It is unclear, however, how much this would vary from the current system, in which algorithms are informed by user choices and tailored social-media feeds serve each user differently. The middleware approach would more explicitly embrace fragmentation and would work against the notion of a unified public sphere. In essence, it is fragmentation by design. How this would work in practice is anyone's guess. An interesting question is how many users will end up in echo chambers when given the express [End Page 155] option of taking refuge there, rather than being gently nudged into one. There is the real possibility that such a system will only feed radicalization and polarization further.
The impact of middleware would depend on who steps forward to offer products and who wins subscribers. In a rose-tinted vision of the future, a large majority of social-media users would select middleware providers that serve up the best that journalism has to offer and relatively few would choose middleware that inundated consumers with disinformation-ridden, hyperpartisan clickbait. A more likely scenario is that users would choose middleware that strongly resembles their current media diets.
If users had more choices in curating their digital worlds, would platforms be any less responsible for the damage caused by malicious actors? How would outsourcing content curation to third parties help to make it more accountable and attuned to the public interest? Would these new governors, as Kate Klonick calls online platforms, be any less likely to abuse their positions of power to disrupt and distort democratic systems?2 The vexing question of where to set the floor would remain. Would the platforms see the addition of third-party algorithms as a justification to loosen their own moderation of racists and white supremacists?
The emergence of digital platforms has not altered the oldest and most profound challenges of democracy: how to empower citizens to participate in collectively charting a course for the nation, while keeping in check the concentration of political power and preventing the emergence of oppressive forces. In the digital realm, there is much to be done to ensure that all have equal footing to participate in democratic processes and to prevent manipulators, scammers, operatives, and trolls from playing an outsized role in public debate. In the immediate term, continuing to demand that platforms address manipulation and abuse on their platforms is as clear an articulation of democracy as there is in the digital age.

text: Hi, like mentioned in my last patch for "Patch: Fix KEncodingProber crashiness" i have a patch that might be a good idea for 4.2.2 It renames encodingNameByteArray() to encoding() as suggested by David Faure, fixes a few comments in the header, adds a @since and restores the function of encodingName() ! So programs not ported to the new API do not see any breakage compared with 4.2.1 The only current user i know about is katebuffer.cpp (which is included in this patch) amarok, which also uses KEncodingProber only uses the old encodingName() (which is now depecated/(and more or less broken since it always returns 0 without this patch) Changelog: Rename encodingNameByteArray() to encoding() Make the old encodingName() function return a useful value again Fix some typos in documentation Add @since 4.2.2 to the new encoding() function If anybody wants to see this in 4.2.2, now seems to be the very last chance before we are stuck with encdingNameByteArray() name. If anybody wants to apply it please apply to 4.2.2 and 4.3(trunk) Greetings Peter -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Dustin Poirier shocked the world in the early hours of Sunday morning, handing Conor McGregor the firs knockout loss of his illustrious UFC career.
The implications of the bout stretched far beyond the two men in the ring, as question marks remained over the future of lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Khabib announced his retirement following victory over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254, though has since said if the division seemed competitive enough, he could be tempted by a return to the octagon.
Walking away as a legend of the sport… ?

Having already beaten both Poirier and McGregor, fans would have been hoping the weekend's meeting could have been a big influence on the Russian returning to the promotion.
However judging by Dana White's recent comments, the fight seems to have had the opposite effect.
"He said to me, 'Dana, be honest with yourself. I'm so many levels above these guys,'" White revealed.
"I don't know. [Nurmagomedov returning] doesn't sound very positive."
The UFC president also insisted that Khabib's situation wouldn't hold up the process of crowning a new lightweight champion, revealing that it would be a rematch between McGregor and Poirier to decide on a new title-holder.

McGregor has repeatedly said he'd want the Khabib rematch, though another defeat on his record, combined with the wrestling specialists' latest comments, will likely put a huge dent in any hopes of that happening.
Whatever Nurmagomedov decides, the lightweight division is a fascinating space following Poirier's shock win and Michael Chandler's blockbuster debut.
