Brad Pitt Encourages A Drunk Margot Robbie To Fight With A Snake In Wild, NSFW Babylon Trailer
The latest from Damien Chazelle.
Damien Chazelle admitted to a crowd of fans gathered for an In Conversation panel at the Toronto International Film Festival that his upcoming film Babylon was going to be "big, boisterous, and loud." According to the director, he needed something totally opposite from the internal, brooding quiet of his moon-mission drama First Man. And from the looks of the first trailer for Babylon that Paramount just dropped, that's exactly what the Whiplash filmmaker aims to deliver once this opulent party drama hits theaters in December.
When a trailer opens with a Hollywood starlet (played by an unhinged Margot Robbie) snorting up the Paramount logo as if it were a mountain of cocaine, then ranting passionately about all of the things that she would do if she were rich, you just know that we are going to be in for something unique and special. Here's everything we know about Babylon, which takes audiences back to Los Angeles in the 1920s, at a time when Southern California's desert paradise was figuring out how to become a big city. And at the same time, the film industry was starting to find its way, leading to the gluttonous behavior of celebrities, directors, singers, dancers, musicians… in Old Hollywood, anything goes (and everything went).
Into this manipulatable reality steps Jack Conrad (Brad Pitt), a former actor who climbed the ranks to some position of power, even if that isn't made totally clear in the Babylon trailer. Producer? Studio head? Either way, the man is at the center of the madness that is happening in Hollywood at the time. Margot Robbie's character may want to live in a world where the party never stops, but sooner or later that lifestyle is going to catch up to you, and we have seen in his previous movies how Damien Chazelle embraces the melancholic sadness that can be found when one sacrifices to chase his or her dream.
Back when Damien Chazelle appeared on ReelBlend, he discussed some of his writing process for Babylon, and how the movie would be in direct contrast to First Man. But as he elaborated in the In Conversation panel at TIFF 2022, that has been his method since the beginning. Following the mean-spirited tone of Whiplash, he lost himself in the hopeful dreamscape of La La Land. After reinventing musicals (and almost winning a Best Picture Oscar), Chazelle needed to pivot to the quiet, barren landscapes of the moon.
He's back in celebratory mode with Babylon, which stars Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Tobey Maguire, Samara Weaving, Spike Jonze, Flea, Eric Roberts, PJ Byrne, newcomer Diego Calva, and the always spectacular Jean Smart. The movie will be in theaters beginning December 25.

Raytheon begins deliveries of pulse power containers for U.S. Navy's railgun
American defense contractor Raytheon has begun deliveries of pulse power containers in support of the U.S. Navy's Railgun program.
The electromagnetic railgun project is a futuristic weapon the U.S. Navy hopes to deploy on one of its surface combatants.
USNS Millinocket was supposed to be the first vessel fitted with the gun that is, according to the Navy, capable of firing a projectile at six times the speed of sound.
However, Millinocket joined the Navy without a railgun on its turret. The same happened with US Navy plans to equip the newest stealth destroyer USS Zumwalt with the gun.
Latest predictions say the Navy expects to deploy the electromagnetic gun on the third, and last, Zumwalt-class vessel, the USS Lyndon B. Johnson.
Raytheon said the containers, which are comprised of multiple pulsed power modules, will be integrated into the Navy's railgun test range for additional development and testing.
The company built this pulse power container to provide the mighty 32-megajoule jolt that the U.S. Navy's new railgun requires. The modular pulsed power containers, when combined, produce enough energy to enable the electromagnetic launch of a railgun's high-velocity projectile at speeds in excess of Mach 6.
"Directed energy has the potential to redefine military technology beyond missiles and our pulse power modules and containers will provide the tremendous amount of energy required to power applications like the Navy Railgun," said Colin Whelan, vice president of Advanced Technology for Raytheon's Integrated Defense Systems business.
Raytheon's pulse power container design is the result of work stemming from an initial $10 million contract with Naval Sea Systems Command to develop a pulsed power system, which will enable land or sea-based projectiles to reach great distances without the use of an explosive charge or rocket motor. Raytheon is one of three contractors developing a PPC design for the U.S. Navy.

Sending your child to a daycare center while you head to work is never easy. However, we would like to share how daycare can benefit your child's growth and development in ways you may not realize. Maybe it'll make it just a little bit easier for you when you drop your child off in the morning.
Improves Your Child's Behavior
Contrary to popular belief, a daycare center may actually make your child better-behaved than children who don't go to one. Studies show, spending more time with other children under the supervision of a friendly adult improves the ability to interact with peers and develop their social skills. Moreover, exposure to a positive daycare environment during the early years helps in your child's cognitive and emotional development. It can also prevent emotional difficulties later in life and encourage prosocial behavior in children.
Promotes Effective Communication
Daycare helps to make children effective communicators. By learning to adjust how they communicate with different people, the skill soon becomes intuitive. This skill is also enhanced because they are exposed to various social situations regularly.
Improves Overall Development
According to a seminal study conducted by the National Institute of Childhood Health and Human Development in 2006, the development of children attending daycare isn't hampered compared to those who don't. In fact, it was shown that language skills and cognitive development were better than other children. Not only does this happen during the first four or five years of their life, but it tends to last through to at least 15 years of age.
The next time you feel a tug at your heartstrings while sending your child off to a daycare center, remind yourself of these benefits. The Heaven's Elect staff and program are focused on every child's development. Heaven's Elect Christian Learning Center and Daycare is a Non-denominational Christian childcare center fully licensed by the state of Michigan. Our Midland daycare center has been serving the community since 2000. Please contact us at heavenselect.com.

Chris Duarte - Biography
Throughout it all, fans have hungered for the ferocious blues stylist to dig into some Texas blues with his own unmistakable magic. For his 15th album, his first since 2014, he does just that: The Austin, Texas blues guitar slinger teems up with Texas Sugar Strat Magik producer-guitarist Dennis Herring for the first time in 22 years. The resulting album, the gritty and sexy Ain't Giving Up, out September 2022 on Provogue Records, isn't a calculated return to roots affair, though. Recorded live on the studio floor with vintage gear and with minimal overdubs, this is a raw and revved-up showcase for the blues virtuoso's jaw-dropping chops; his mastery of the elusive Texas shuffle; and his deep love and commitment to the blues.
"I planted my flag with Strat Magik, and on this album I am pushing the music forward. I've explored lots of different facets of my playing, but this album says, 'I'm here, and I'm not giving up on blues or my career,'" Duarte says. He continues: "And I'm not playing it safe, either—the solos were all tracked live."
Duarte has been known for his physical and athletic playing style—he often plays so hard his fingers bleed while he's onstage (there are photos to prove this legend). Because of this fiery dedication, many fans and critics have playfully referred to his music as "punk blues" or "rockin' blues." "My style is super aggressive and physical," Duarte affirms. "These days I'm a bit older, but I still put as much heart into my playing as I ever did—I still love playing."
The guitarist, singer, and songwriter came up as a force to be reckoned with in the 1990s Austin, Texas roots and blues scene. He rose to prominence in the wake of Stevie Ray Vaughan's passing, and was noted for his muscular playing style; his jazz and rock n' roll-infused blues solos; and his command of the Texas blues tradition. Because of these soulfully virtuosic qualities, Duarte was often compared to the beloved modern blues icon, SRV. "I wish I was the whiz people think I am," he says with a good-natured laugh. "Whatever skills I have, have taken years to gain—I practice a lot." He continues: "I still want to be great and make my mark. I listen to SRV, Jimmie Vaughan, and others, and I always get inspired to carry on the Texas blues tradition."
Since those early days, Duarte has carved his own niche through a series of beloved blues-flavored albums, and a calendar of more than 150 dates a year which includes performances billed as Chris Duarte and as The Chris Duarte Group. In both of these contexts, Duarte has headlined major festivals and clubs throughout the US, Canada, and Europe. A series of explosive North Carolina shows were filmed for the PBS television show, The PBS Project. Apart from his solo career, Duarte has performed with Julie Burrell, Diana Cantu, Bobby Mack, Tracy Conover, Indigenous, Omar & the Howlers, and the Americana band Beth Lee & The Breakups. Incidentally, Beth is Duarte's girlfriend, and she co-wrote many tracks on Ain't Giving Up.
Reunited with Herring who produced his best-selling record, Duarte instantly found a lot hadn't changed with the two men. "There's more grey hair and creases in our faces," Duarte says with a chuckle. "But we have that same music connection we had years ago. Dennis's approach is to capture raw emotion, and, because of this, he records literally everything, even snippets between songs." Duarte continues: "I brought my guitar with me when we tracked vocals, and he said I didn't need it—the guitar parts were all done. He used the solos I played on the fly during the basic sessions. They were fun, off-the-cuff, and the tone and grooves were great. I was really dialed in."
Ain't Giving Up siphons from the same spirit as Texas Sugar, but the new album is definitely its own monster. The album was tracked live as a trio with Texas Sugar drummer Brannen Temple, but it also features a rhythm machine with some raw, looped beat patterns Duarte plays over, much like the same funky groove stylings as on J.J. Cale's iconic 1971 album Naturally. "This album explores a wider spectrum of musicality," shares Duarte. "I love Muddy Water and Howlin' Wolf, but also feel like it's part of me to introduce some unexpected influences. For this album, I didn't feel scared to explore beyond hard driving blues. I view this as expanding on the format that I love."
Ain't Giving Up is intimate and gritty, but it also boasts pristine fidelity, as if we the listener are in the studio with Duarte and his buddies. The album opens with a bang on the super-charged Allman Brother-style riffy blues-rocker, "Nobody But You." He follows this up, swaggering into some Fresh-era Sly and Family Stone-style funk. On "Can Opener" Duarte digs into a slinky Texas shuffle conjuring the instrumental magic of classic Freddie King.
With "Gimme Your Love" and the title track, Duarte conjures Jimmy Reed with some breezy, blues shuffles, each song is fitted with little tags and musical motifs that make these musical forms truly Chris Duarte songs. Duarte flexes some rockabilly chops on "Look What U Made Me Do" and slips into a Stones-y hip-shaking groove on "The Real Low Down." Ain't Giving Up concludes with a tour de force on slow blues of "Weak Days" which features some tasty Albert King-style stinging leads, and a heavy Zeppelin-esque musical interlude.
Ain't Giving Up is a reset for Duarte that shows his resilience and his undiminished love of the blues. "I am so grateful to be signed to Provogue and to work with Dennis again—it's been a dream come true," Duarte enthuses. "I have been so fortunate to play music and do my thing for almost 30 years, and I couldn't ask for a better life."

For Rev. Tommy Odum, the most rewarding aspect of serving as lead pastor at Centerville UMC* in Centerville is the opportunity to work with the people.
"They are extremely loving and caring and also have an incredible heart for outreach. We have a Food Pantry that has quadrupled in a year, and our Clothes Closet ministers to people in need every Tuesday," Odum said. "They are wonderful givers of their time, energy, effort, and finances. They understand the mission of the church and meet our community where they are."
Odum holds a bachelor of science degree in organizational leadership, which has proven invaluable in leading Centerville UMC. Since his appointment in June 2020, he has worked closely with the church's administrative team to improve its financial health. Odum shares several strategies, including a loan refinance with the Georgia United Methodist Foundation (the Foundation), that has put Centerville UMC in tip-top financial shape.
Move Beyond the 80/20 Rule
What is the 80/20 rule, and why do congregations need to move beyond it? "The 80/20 rule says that 20% of the people in your congregation are doing 80% of the work. That could include in your giving. When you have two people giving a huge portion of your budget, and when you lose those people, it impacts the budget in a powerful way, not only in paying salaries but also with missions and programs," Odum said. "Our church is closer to 70/30. Our average attendance is 150 people, and we have over 100 giving units. So, it's people who give consistently to the church."
Age of Your Church Members Matters
Odum encourages churches to know the average age of their members. "The average age of our congregation is roughly 65 to 70, and the average mortality rate in the U.S. is about 75 to 78. That means that we will have a significant decline in our congregation in five to eight years because of death and that we have five to eight years to change the face of our congregation in a way that improves our finances. You must look at how your finances are impacted over time with your death rate, and then determine how to compensate for growth within your church," Odum said. "The best way to offset this is to bring in young families and young adults. Since young families and young adults give half as much as we need, we need to bring in twice as many. They have a harder time giving because they may have a car payment, mortgage, and daycare costs."
Make Your Older Adults Feel Valued
"Our older members are extremely important because they gave us the legacy to build on at the church," Odum said. "We try to be there when they are in need, sick, or in the hospital. We also try to minister to these members through our preaching and by developing messages they haven't heard before."
Reduce Expenses
After analyzing the data on people and how death rates impact the church and considering what steps Centerville UMC needed to take to grow, Odum looked for ways to reduce expenses.
"You have to consider the financial implications of the decisions you make today and then make changes to positively impact the church," he said. "Employees are the last area you want to cut. People make the church grow – not the copier. So, we renegotiated the copier and cleaning contracts and saved over $6,000 per year."
Refinance Your Mortgage
Odum also looked at the church's mortgage expenses and began shopping loan rates to refinance its loan. Dr. Rick Lanford, Foundation Regional Vice President, connected Odum with Jim Pope, Foundation Senior Advisor to the President and Director of Lending.
"Jim reviewed our current mortgage and financial records and then sent a proposal. Working with the Methodist Foundation was a no-brainer. We received a lower interest rate and lower mortgage payment, saving us over $2,000 per month. In addition, unlike our former lender, the Foundation does not have balloon maturities, which would require the church to pay additional fees to refinance the loan. Conservatively speaking, we're saving about $150,000 over five years," Odum said. "When you can save this significant amount of money, you are providing opportunities to fund programs and ministries that will achieve the goal of lowering the average age of the church and bringing in young families and young adults."
Odum found Jim to be a great resource. "We had a small crisis while refinancing the mortgage. Multiple air conditioners needed to be replaced, and we had some other expenses come up at the same time. I asked Jim if we could increase the loan to cover the additional costs. He called back within an hour and said we were able to add to the mortgage. We now had money to take care of our building and facility," Odum said. "The Foundation worked hard for us and set us up for the success of our church financially in the future. Our church is in the best financial position we have been in for the past 10 years."
*In 2023, Centerville UMC because The Well at Centerville where Rev. Tommy Odum continues to serve as lead pastor.

How GET Protocol's dynamic seating makes filling your event a breeze
Are you tired of the tedious and time-consuming process of managing traditional seating arrangements for your events? Have you ever wished for a more efficient way to assign seating arrangements that leaves less seats empty and ensures your events fill to capacity?
If so, then a dynamic seating system could very well be the solution you've been seeking.
As the name would suggest, this feature automatically assigns ticket buyers a seat based on a section of the venue instead of a specific seat. Ticket buyers choose the section they would like to sit in and the dynamic seating handles the rest.
By allowing the system to assign optimal placement within a section, it fills capacity in an efficient way that accommodates groups and single ticket buyers with ease & allows for total flexibility of seating changes right up to the day of the event.
Let's dive into what makes our Dynamic Seating great..
The most common form of seating system available is a traditional seat picker which allows either the event organizer or the ticket purchaser to select and confirm their seats. The problem with this however is quite evident, creating a seat picker is a huge drain of time and resources, seats are selected by attendees inefficiently and crucially, the ability for groups to sit together are limited when random spots get filled by solo attendees selecting their seats.
What often occurs with a traditional seat picker is that customers battle with each other for the best seats in the house, impacting your platform's stability.
A dynamic seating system eradicates these problems by prioritizing filling your event to full capacity whilst adapting to any needed attendee accommodations. The system can adapt to any changes, whether it's a large groups buying tickets or attendees needing priority seats based on medical conditions.
The system will still give first ticket buyers the best seats whilst providing the stability to fill seating sections optimally.
Crucially you'll also have total flexibility to re-assign seats up to the day of the event without needing to rebook tickets. If an attendee with a medical condition reaches out needing an aisle seat, simply changing their seat will dynamically update other attendees' seating to accommodate without any headaches.
Using our dynamic seating, when a ticket buyer purchases a ticket they are able to choose a ticket located in a section of the venue, either through a menu of options or by using the section map that can be tailored to events.
When a ticket buyer purchases a ticket within a section of the venue, the dynamic seating gets to work, taking into consideration a number of important factors:
The number of tickets purchased - how large is the group?
The ticket types purchased - are all the tickets the same type or different?
Which section of the venue did the attendee choose?
The time and order of their purchase
The ticket buying experience is streamlined and optimized to work both on desktop and mobile. Handling customer support around seating is extremely easy as any changes you make will dynamically adapt seating for others in the background, saving you the hassle.
Dynamic seating is perfect for events at any scale & a stellar example of the system in practice can be found with GET Protocol's partner Djebber, the ticketing arm of cabaret group De Keet who manage headline comedians in the Netherlands.
Routinely filling venues & providing evenings full of laughter, Djebber offers ticket sales for comedians such as Jochem Myjer, Ronald Goedemont, Henry Van Loon and a plethora of other talented acts.
Using the White-Label's dynamic seating, Djebber's ticketing has made full use of the dynamic seating system to bring fans together in an efficient & hassle free way.
Laurens van Westing, who works with Djebber to setup ticket sales shares his thoughts on the Dynamic Seating:
'What really makes the Dynamic Seating potent is the flexibility it provides..
It has benefits for all involved parties: the organizer can make sure every group is seated together even when not all tickets are bought in one purchase, it gives the venue the flexibility to make last-minute changes to the floor layout, and the ticket buyer still has a saying in where they are seated
About 36 hours before the event I simply click on the "Autoseat" button and within seconds the venue is filled to perfection. It efficiently looks at where to place all ticket buyers and assigns them there in the best fitting way. It automatically fills "gaps" of two and three seats with groups of the same size so that no space is unused.'
If you're liking the sound of our dynamic seating, you'll be happy to know that it's only one of the plethora of state of the art tools that our White-Label comes equipped with to provide you greater control over your ticketing.
Our White-Label also:
Eradicates ticket scalping at a wide-scale level through anti-scalping mechanisms.

NHS Lothian has said it hopes a delay in the delivery of vaccine appointment letters this week will be resolved "very quickly".
The health board confirmed a problem after Edinburgh Live revealed significant numbers of people in the priority seven group, those aged 60 and over, had not received their letters.
Some worried residents age 60-64 only called the helpline after seeing social media posts about the error.
An inside source said the helpline had been taking calls all week with people missing their coronavirus vaccine letters.
Now, NHS Lothian has issued a statement saying they hoped a delay in people receiving their letters would soon be resolved.

Asked about the situation at today's Scottish Government Covid update, health secretary Jeane Freeman said there needed to be a "degree of patience".
NHS Lothian said: "Appointment letters are being distributed by a central system to patients across Scotland. We understand there has been a delay in sending out some appointment letters this week (March 12).
"This should be resolved very quickly and the letters are expected to arrive by this weekend.
"However, if you are over 60 and have not received an appointment letter by Monday (March 15), please call the national helpline on 0800 030 8013."
Edinburgh Live asked the health secretary earlier today whether the government thought it should change its messaging and urge people to call the helpline.
The health secretary said: "If people are anxious they absolutely should phone the helpline...that's the point of the helpline."
Local MSP Miles Briggs called for an investigation into the issue: "It is the responsibility of the Scottish Government to distribute vaccination appointment letters to everyone in Scotland.
"This week something has obviously gone very wrong with people not receiving their letter, or being told their appointment is not until May.
"An urgent investigation is needed to give people clarity on when their appointment will be and they are not being forgotten about.
"The rollout of the Covid-19 vaccination is too important to get wrong and we all want it to happen as quickly as possible so that restrictions can be lifted safely.

Better late than never.
The 2022/23 Arizona Legislative Session has finally ended.
Sine Die is here.
Fortunately, it ended with, after much deal-making with Republicans who detested light rail in the Phoenix area, the bipartisan passage (with mostly Democratic votes) of the headline bill designed to refer Proposition 400, the measure that will fund various road, highway, street, and public transit projects in Maricopa County and the rest of the Grand Canyon State.
Commenting on the passing of Prop 400, Senate Democratic Leader Mitzi Epstein offered:
"As is customary, Republicans have waited until the very last minute to pass widely popular legislation that invests in the daily lives of Arizonans. These infrastructure investments and improvements are desperately needed for economic development in Maricopa County and across the state. Prop 400E will create $40 billion in new income, increase local business sales by $113 billion, reduce traffic congestion throughout the valley, and create or support 32,000 jobs annually. Our state should not have had to wait until July 31st to see this measure, which has had legislative support since the start of the session, get sent to the ballot. However, with the support of Arizonans cities and towns, I am proud to join my Democratic colleagues in delivering the key votes needed to send the extension of the regional transportation tax back to the voters of Maricopa County."
House Democratic Leader Lupe Contreras relayed:
"Proposition 400 has helped our region grow and prosper for nearly 40 years. More growth is on the way, so it is vital that we give Maricopa County voters the opportunity to extend that investment with a smart plan that meets the needs of all our residents, whether it's freeways, streets, buses, or light rail. Democrats were determined to deliver on that plan. We stuck together and we overcame every obstacle put in our way. When Maricopa County voters approve this plan — and I know they will — then we can proudly say this bi-partisan effort improved the quality of life for generations to come."
Governor Katie Hobbs praised the bipartisan agreement on Proposition 400, posting on social media:
Phoenix Mayor and current Maricopa County Associations Government Chairperson Kate Gallego also issued a statement on Proposition 400, writing:
"After months of negotiations, I am glad that our robust, unanimously approved transportation plan will finally reach the voters of Maricopa County. This legislation is how we will continue to support our region's record growth, and with approval from our voters, its passage will ultimately mean that we can deliver on improved and expanded transit and transportation services that connect county residents to jobs, education, and more.
"While it's exciting that we've advanced Proposition 400, I remain disappointed that this critical legislation was coupled with an effort to cut revenue to cities, including Phoenix, as soon as in the next budget year. As such, I cannot and will not support any action that would take away the power of cities to levy a residential rental tax, as this revenue is how we fund public safety hiring, improvements to parks and preserves, and neighborhood public safety grants. If the legislature wishes to push forward attempts to effectively defund our police and firefighters, I strongly urge them to come to the table and discuss how they can help us recoup the lost funding."
She also posted on social media:

A hilarious scene in Friday's episode of the CBS hit drama "Blue Bloods" should serve as a warning about where to draw the line with going green.
In the scene from the series' milestone 150th episode "A Deep Blue Goodbye," officers Jamie Reagan, played by Will Estes and Edit "Eddie" Janko, played by Vanessa Ray, are told that they have to use a Prius as part of the NYPD's new Green Vehicle pilot program.
The officers hated the idea but they didn't dare complain because they didn't want to draw the ire of their superiors.
But, as the officers are called to the scene of an accident that was becoming violent, viewers were given an idea of exactly how well a green car might work in a real life situation.
As the team heads to the scene they are being kept up with by a man on a bike. And when they arrive no one takes them seriously.
As they attempt to break up the fight one combatant tells them, "Y'all can't be real cops."
"Yes, we are." Officer Reagan replied.
"What, driving that thing?" the other man said.
But the most hilarious part was when the officers looked back at the car that was being rocked back and forth by bystanders.
"Get off the car! Get off the car!" Officer Janko yelled as the crowd sat on the ridiculous looking car taking selfies.
With a mayor like Bill de Blasio this scene isn't too far fetched.

Location: Soil Management Research
Title: Big agronomic data validates an oxymoron: Sustainable intensification under climate changeAuthor
Jaradat, Abdullah |
Submitted to: Meeting Abstract
Publication Type: Abstract Only Publication Acceptance Date: 5/1/2018 Publication Date: N/A Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: Crop science is increasingly embracing big data to reconcile the apparent rift between intensification of food production and sustainability of a steadily stressed production base. A strategy based on long-term agroecosystem research and modeling simulation of crops, crop rotations and cropping systems was advocated to generate big data that can address complex research and development questions regarding agroecosystems functionality (AF: biomass, grain yield and yield gap per crop, crop rotation and cropping system) and natural resources sustainability (NRS: carbon sequestration, soil erosion, drainage, runoff, and N-leakage) under four future climate change scenarios with increasing emissions (i.e., Representative Concentration Pathways; RCP 2.6, 4.5, 6.0 and 8.5) as described by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). A calibrated and validated agricultural production systems simulator (APSIM), using long-term data on local weather, grain and forage crops and major and minor soil series, generated >100 GB of data on AF and NRS using 99-year of past (recorded) and future (generated) weather data under each of the IPCC climate change scenarios. Big data was mined for causation and for inter- and intra-relationships within and among components of AF and NRS. Yield gap (YG, relative to largest yield) and the probability of sustained delivery of agroecosystem services (pAES) relevant to AF and NRS, were estimated and presented in a multi-dimensional matrix to highlight paths to sustainable intensification under each climate change scenario, and for each crop, crop rotation and cropping system. A dynamic prediction profiler demonstrates how to select factor levels that can optimize each response variable (i.e., YG or pAES) based on realistic assumptions. |

Lake Genero Campground
- 1284 Hamlin Hwy,
- Lake Ariel 18436
- (570) 535-9799
Lake Genero Campground is on a privately-owned spring-fed 7-acre lake. The crystal-clear lake is on a private road in a natural setting of pine and hemlock trees. It's just 3 miles from Lake Wallenpaupack. Accommodations range from barebones campsites to cozy cabins. You'll find camping, glamping, and RV sites. They've recently added 8 primitive tent sites. Genero offers RV hookups, RV rentals, glamping sites, tent camping, and an event venue for public or private events.
In 2023 they added their BYOB restaurant, Tailgaters Lakeside, for families with music and games on the side of the lake.
Sites start to book for spring in March, so get on it!
There are 10 cottages. 7 of them have wood-burning fireplaces, and the other 3 are equipped with gas heaters. Each cottage has a large screened-in porch overlooking the lake. Cooking utensils and tableware are provided. Only sheets, pillowcases, and towels are not furnished.
The lake is great for fishing, swimming, and row boating. There are BBQ pits, a tennis court, and a playground. There are primitive camping sites available. Great for groups with picnic and group pavilions.
Grab your fishing license and get caught in their lake, or let them do it for you. Lake Genero offers daily & seasonal boat rentals and fishing passes.
Tailgaters is own quick food place with picnic tables and music located on the premises.
"Lake Genero is a 5-star property. Coming from New York City into the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania is a complete shock! The fresh air and glistening water was enough to make us instantly book a trip for next summer."

play us a little something
The last week or so has been an exercise in patience for my anxious mind. Dude and Chick is coming up on some exciting things - not the least of which is our first release in a while, which has been postponed by John's second case of strep throat this year. I've never enjoyed waiting for things I want (does anyone?) but am trying to remind myself of all the back-burner tasks I have lurking around the studio. It's been productive but tedious, and my mind wanders to all the cool stuff on the horizon. And so, in an effort to have a little fun, and also to commemorate the end of my favorite season of Mad Men so far, a little sketch of our accordion-playin Joanie made it all the way to a quick color.

A son was ordered to move away from his crying mother at a funeral for his dad.
Footage shared on Facebook from Milton Keynes, in the UK, showed the man being reprimanded by funeral staff.
He and another mourner move to embrace the woman but are quickly told to move back, as seen in the video above.

The video has resulted in an outcry of support for the family and condemnation for the funeral officials.
Milton Keynes Council, which is in charge of the crematorium, has since apologised.
In a statement to local outlet MK Citizen, a spokesman for the council said it was sorry to have "upset this family".
"We don't usually step in if a guest needs to be comforted by another family member and in this instance should have taken a more considered approach," he said.
"We ask funeral directors to let us know whether any chairs should be grouped in advance, and from now on this includes guests who are in the same household or bubbles as well as people who need extra support."
The son and his mother had been together for two weeks, constituting their own social buble in accordance with UK coronavirus guidelines.
He told the publication he was devastated not to be allowed to sit with her at the funeral home.
He suggested a double standard had taken place, given he is allowed to live and go out with her, but not sit directly by her side during a funeral.
The United Kingdom on Monday reported almost 16,000 new coronavirus cases - but many of those were due to a technical glitch, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said.

To many a dessert lover's surprise, the menu at CH Pâtisserie also boasts a drink menu loaded with creative icy, fruity concoctions. In this ideal summer quencher, Hanmer freezes fresh-squeezed lemonade and layers it with sugared strawberries, then finishes the drink with a dose of sweet-tart limeade. The frozen lemonade slush keeps the drink icy-cold down to the last chilling sip.

Prep Time
Cook Time
Total time: 6 hours, 20 minutes
- Frozen Lemonade
- 1½ cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (5 or 6 lemons)

- ¾ cup fresh squeezed lime juice (6 to 8 limes)
- Zest of 1½ limes
- Strawberries
- 1 pint strawberries, hulled and finely chopped
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 4 sprigs fresh mint
- Make the frozen lemonade: To a small saucepan set over medium-high heat, add the water and sugar and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Transfer the simple syrup to a shallow container (such as a loaf pan) and stir in the lemon juice. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or up to a few days.
- Make the limeade: To a small saucepan set over medium-high heat, add the water and sugar and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Transfer the simple syrup to a small bowl and cool to room temperature. Stir in the lime juice and zest and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or up to 2 weeks.
- Sugar the strawberries: To a small bowl, add the strawberries and sugar and stir to combine. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Remove the icy lemonade from the freezer and use a soup spoon or ice cream scoop to flake it into a fluffy, snow-like consistency. To 4 glasses, alternate adding a little of the frozen lemonade and a bit of the strawberries until the glass is almost full, with 1 inch of headspace below the rim. Top each glass with the limeade. Add a mint sprig and serve immediately.

Albert Einstein Quotes
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Our defense is not in armaments, nor in science, nor in going underground. Our defense is in law and order.
What is the meaning of human life, or of organic life altogether? To answer this question at all implies a religion. Is there any sense then, you ask, in putting it? I answer, the man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life.
Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been kindness, beauty and truth.
A hundred times a day, I remind myself that my inner and outer life depends on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am receiving.
What counts can't always be counted; what can be counted doesn't always count.
If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.
When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.
We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the results of his thoughts in clear form.
He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

The advantages And Drawbacks Of Mail Purchase Brides
setembro 26, 2020 12:00 amThe mail-order brides' industry has received tremendous level of popularity over the last several years. The most important basis for this is there exists a lot of women from overseas countries who wish to get married to someone from other country. Nevertheless , marriage is definitely not as easy in the foreign lands as it is in their house countries. There are countless factors which have to be taken into consideration while deciding on a mail-order new bride. These factors include the dowry value, beauty and age of the bride.
The necessity with regards to mail-order wedding brides in India is very superior and it is raising day by day. The main reason for this may be the dowry system. There was a time when ever Indian wedding brides were regarded as property with their husbands and it was difficult to get one for the reason that dowry was the main qualifying criterion for selecting a bride. However , considering the introduction from the federal laws on overseas marriage brokers, dowry has become irrelevant.
Just before marriages, women living in foreign countries used to have difficulty convincing all their husbands of their willingness to marry them. With the creation of mail-order brides to be, these types of women are now able to prove themselves. Many women possess pictures of themselves on online dating sites. Many such girls want to meet up with a partner who has a much better face than their current husbands. In such cases, the husband is not going to question the lady about her marital status as he definitely will think that she's not committed. This makes it easier for women residing other countries to influence their husbands to marry these people.
There are several reasons as to why all mail order brides became popular in the western world only. 1 was the growth of technology. The internet became a necessary instrument for all kinds of interaction and information. It was also found that the girls that are segregated by miles and even continents from their partners can find durable and meaningful relationships throughout the help of the net.
Another reason so why mail purchase brides shot to popularity in the west is because of the increasing numbers of divorce cases in the west. Most of the marriages in the west today are ending up in divorce. In some developing countries, the number of divorces is a lot more. Brides in the developing countries find it difficult to avoid jollyromance review marrying an previously married gentleman. They dread that marrying someone with no their approval will cause a divorce and therefore, they select mail-order brides to be.
For people from the developing countries, there is also another advantage in choosing mail-order wedding brides. There is a lack of legal treatment when it comes to relationships in the united states. Because of this people who have dedicated a crime in the usa are unable to get married to a person who comes from one other country. In most cases, the crime will be relevant to visa breach. For example , if you are accused of visa violations, you will not be allowed to marry a person who came from a second country.
Many ladies from the east and the southern part of Europe visit the United States to be in his campany their partners, sweethearts or relatives. They cannot wed a man by another region because they risk getting sent back with their home country. Nevertheless , there are many females from the east and southern European countries that have found appreciate and betrothed men from your US and other western countries. Mail order brides enable these women to stay in the US and live with the husband or partner.

Review by Karl Verhoven
A third paperback selection of the Justice League's earliest adventures again showcases the early 1960s as another country. The static creative team alone indicates that, this being the third consecutive volume where Gardner Fox writes everything, and all the pencil art is by Mike Sekowsky. That pairing would last another four years. It was also the era where a dynamic cover concept would provide the springboard for the content within, sadly not living up to what's stimulated in the imagination on seeing a giant man ripping a skyscraper from its foundations or the Justice League on a protest picket.
For readers now of pensionable age this does contain the bona fide classic of the Justice League meeting their 1940s counterparts in the Justice Society of America. "Use the crystal ball to summon the Justice Society to Earth One", instructs the Flash, "They won't be bound by the magic that hampers you". Fox loves a plot where the tables are turned by a switch, but it was usually Wonder Woman taking on Aquaman's foe leaving Aquaman to take on Green Lantern's villain. Bringing heroes over from another world was a big deal. The concept was so successful it would bear repeating annually for a further seventeen years, and the first reprise closes this selection as the teams united against a form of evil Justice League, the Crime Syndicate.
Until these stories, whenever Fox needed a new alien menace he'd invent one, but for the first time here he starts re-using previous menaces, Amazo, Despero and Kanjor Ro all returning, now with revenge on their minds. Despero has the best plot, transporting the Justice League to worlds where their powers no longer function, but throughout Fox prioritises scientific solutions, educating as he entertains. Well, sometimes. You can't really transport the Justice Society from Earth Two via a crystal ball, but they're working on it at the Pentagon, so perhaps some day…
Sekowsky's art is goofy splendour. He twists the Justice Leaguers into strange positions, sometimes because he's trying to fit as many as he can into a panel, but like Jack Kirby, he's great stylist whose art is completely internally consistent. Rumour has it that he drew as fast as Kirby as well, able to knock out a 25 page story in a week, and look closely to see the simplicity of the shapes forming anything other than people. Yes, that is Adam Strange in the sample art. He stops by to help deal with Kanjar Ro.
These stories are very much of their time, staid and dated when published, never mind all these years later, and it's really only the two teamings with the Justice Society that retain some spark. Make the most of that, as by Volume Four the quality takes a dip. Most alternative collections featuring these stories have been allowed to slip out of print. If you want them in hardcover try sourcing Justice League of America Archives Vol. 3, or Vol. 1 of Justice League of America: The Silver Age Omnibus. Showcase Presents The Justice League of America Vol. 2 has the stories printed in black and white on pulp paper.

An-Nafs al-Lawamma: The Reproachable Nafs
The Second Station
I swear by the day of Arising! And I swear by the reproachful soul! (75:1-2)
This is the study of the nafs al-lawamma, showing its walking, its world, its place, its states, its source of guidance, its attributes, and the course of treatment to be released from it and to ascend beyond it to the third station in which the soul (nafs) becomes inspired.
The walking of the nafs al-lawamma is for Allah; its world is the world of al-barzakh; its place is the heart; its slave is love; its source (warid) or leader is the way (at-tariqa); its attributes are: reproachfulness, arrogance, self-satisfaction, abandonment of the company of people because of an objection to creation, hidden pride, the love of appetites, and the love of a high position.
The nafs still has traces of the attributes of the nafs al-amarra, but it has the discrimination of knowing the truth as truth and seeing falsity as false. It knows that these attributes are ugly but is not free of them. It has a desire to struggle and to be compliant with the shari'a. It has good action in prayer, fasting, and charity, but these good acts are mixed with pride. The person in this station, even though he hides his good actions, likes to be praised for them and cannot totally remove this desire from his heart.
The Messenger of Allah said, All people except those who know will perish, and all those who know except men of deeds will perish, and all men of deeds except the sincere will perish. Then he added, And all the sincere ones a in grave danger.
This is because the sincere ones still want others to know of their sincerity, and this is the hidden pride. These people perform their good actions for people and not for Allah, and this is a hidden sin. Know that if you have these attributes, you are in the second station and know that your nafs are reproachful (al-lawamma), and that it is a dangerous station for the reasons we have explained.
So if you say that this contradicts the saying of the Prophet, Had the mu'minin entered a lizard's hole (al-juhr), Allah would have sent someone to harm him, and his saying, The dunya is the prison of the mu'min, I would say to you that these hadith refer to the righteouspeople who have some fear (awe) of Allah, except that they have not freed themselves from the impurities of the nafs, and so they are not free from the toil of the dunya. For that reason Allah has promised them reward in the Hereafter (al-akhira). As for those very few who are brought near (al-muqarrabun)(56:11;83:21), by what would they be hurt or imprisoned? The nearest ones reach the seventh state avoiding this state of danger. Salvation from danger comes by vanishing. They enter into the presence of Allah Who grants them His grace. This is the difference between the righteous and the nearest, between the toil of the former and the comfort of the latter. To illustrate their condition, we say they are like a tree whose branches bear poisonous fruit. The righteous begin to remove the fruit and the branches, whereas the nearest work to uproot the tree altogether. So, it is the nearest whose work in fruitful. They seek the fana' in themselves and survival in their Lord.
So my beloved, if you wish to be one of them, to be free of all pain, and to have rest at all times, then walk their way and continue to walk from station to station until you arrive at the seventh station, which is al-nafs al-kamala. There you will see what will amaze you. At every station you will see what pleases you and what inspires you to keep walking and to ascend the stations through the struggle (al-mujahada) with the nafs. You will busy yourself with the names. In every station there is a particular name devoted to that maqam, and the busier you are with your Lord and His attributes, the closer you get.
If you become lazy, you have only yourself to blame. You need to engage in the struggle with the nafs, and to leave your old habits, which are so many that they cannot be counted, but the path has well established principles. You need to acquire at least six of them: reducing food, reducing sleep, reducing talk, keeping away from sins, engaging in adh-dhikr, and reflection.
These six practices are more important than anything else. If the seeker engages in them with sincerity, they help him to leave old habits. But what is required in these practices is a middle way between excess and lack. So it is said to reduce your food; it is not said to stop eating. Do not eat unless you are hungry and do not eat until you are full. It is useful to leave the habit of eating a required lunch and dinner. The Messenger of Allah said, We are people who do not eat unless we are hungry, and if we eat we do not fill up. He also said, There is nothing worse that is filled by humans than the filling of the stomach. And if you need to put something into it, then know one third is for food, one third is for drink, and one third is for breath (air). The seeker takes on this practice to turn his nafs toward the Haqq. But he needs to give himself rest because changes in temperament corrupt states and stations. For example, if the seeker feels sick, then he needs to relax in his struggle with his nafs and engage himself in taking care of him temperament. After returning to health, he can re-engage in his struggle with his nafs, but with caution.
In this second maqam, you engage in adh-dhikr of Allah. Do remembrance in abundance- standing, sitting, and on your side, in the night, in the day, and at specified times when you sit facing the Qibla. Repeat the name with strength and with raising your voice, and do not tilt yourself to the right or the left. Put a stress on the first A, and make the ah quiet, and elongate the name-ALLLah, and do not do it fast. Know that in this station, you have many thoughts, many whisperings, and many ideas, especially if you do the dhikr with a middle voice. If you do it with a strong voice then the thoughts will be quieter.
Assign yourself times when you sit facing the Qibla.
This name is a fire that burns all thoughts and whisperings. Be concerned to preoccupy yourself with the dhikr, and do not pay attention to the thoughts. You cannot quickly free yourself from all thoughts because the mirror of your heart is still facing creation. Your heart is full of the pictures of creation concerned with actions, beauties, ugliness, and movement. These pictures cannot be removed until you turn your back to all of creation. Then there is no trace of all the pictures of creation and you do not hear their words. As long as you do not disengage, you will find these thoughts and whisperings in your heart, and they will trouble you. Know that creation will veil you from the truth. If you are truly thirsty for arrival, then leave creation alone and say, I am traveling to my Lord Who will guide me.
Know that this path is a serious path and a path of struggle. Whoever is serious and struggles will achieve everything that he desires and more. Whoever is lazy and negligent will have no arrival because of the many obstacles. The greatest obstacles are relying on creation, leaning toward it, and sitting with others. Whoever does not cut off these obstacles does not have arrival because what is sought is contrary to what the people of adh-dunya are engaged in with their words and in their hearts. So if you wish to reach the highest station, leave creation completely and forget everything that is an obstacle to you, and busy yourself with your Lord. Then you will become familiar with the Haqq and you will see what amazes you, Allah willing.
If you do not follow these instructions, you will spend your time in toil and tiredness and will not reach your desire. So be serious in removing all traces of the nafs al-amarra whenever in manifest pride, envy, enmity, and bad opinion of the creation. You cannot be free of all these things unless you avoid the dunya and cut yourself off from it outwardly and inwardly. In this maqam you are not bound to the order to command to good and to prohibit evil, because this command can only be exercised with gentleness and modesty, and in this station you do not possess these qualities.
The Messenger of Allah said, Whoever commands to good, let him command with goodness, meaning gentleness. At this stage the most important thing is to release yourself from destruction and to purify your heart from the evils that obstruct your walking and prevent you from witnessing the Haqq. Because the heart is the place of seeing the Haqq, the purification of the heart becomes obligatory and necessary. Let your prayer be, O Disposer of hearts, turn my heart to Your obedience. It is good to say this prayer a sunrise and sunset. Ask Allah to turn your heart from forgetfulness to remembrance, from laughter to weeping, from fear to security, and from contraction to expansion. The summation of all these prayers is to ask to be put on the straight path.
In this station you will understand the secret of the Prophet's saying, The hearts of the slaves are between the two fingers of the Merciful. Allah is the provider. He alone can make you oblivious to the pain of struggle, and He can increase your desire to walk the path, and He can make you shun everything other than Allah. This is possible if you do what you have just been told. If you do not, you will feel the tiredness and toil.
If you think that you have received the secret of these works without struggle, then you know that this is a false claim from the nafs because that nafs always make claims of perfection and completion. Know that completion is only witnessed after struggle with the nafs. So struggle with your nafs and reveal the hidden jewels. Do not be deceived by the claims of the tongue. Whoever claims to have what he does not have will be put to the test. So test your nafs; do not believe your nafs. Be the one who takes the nafs into account every time your nafs so what is contrary to the tariqa. So refute the nafs and inform your shaykh. Do not conceal any of its ugly qualities from him because whenever you receive the secrets from this tariqa, you will benefit.
You need to be watchful of any traces of arrogance, confusion, and making false claims. Be sincere and truthful in your seeking and in your struggle with the nafs (al-mujahada), and in this way perceive the wonders and the secrets of the heart. This is the doorway to the imaginal world (al-mithal), which is a world different from the one you are in now. This world is only known to those in the station of the heart, which is at the end of the second station (an-nafs al-lawamma).
This is the first station (an-nafs al-lawamma) of those who are brought or drawn near. The traveler (as-salik) begins to perceive what cannot be perceived by the senses. This is because the heart of the believer is the throne of Allah and the house of Allah, meaning that it is the place where the secrets of Allah are kept. So follow the shari'a which is al-Qur'an and al-hadith of the Prophet, may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him. Take on the qualities of the tariqa, which are the actions of the Prophet-extreme hunger, little sleep, and silence. If the Messenger of Allah spoke, he only spoke of good things. He was silent much of the time. He laughed little. So follow his form and his states and act on them. If you do this, springs of wisdom will gush forth from your heart expressing themselves by your tongue. You will be a traveler walking the path of those who are near, which will confirm your traveling to the presence of al-jabbar.
One of the first stopping places on this journey in the world of the mithal is your encounter with celestial bodies, which are pictures or forms midway between the coarseness of the body and the subtlety of the spirit. What you see will strengthen your himma for traveling, increase your yearning, kindle the fire of the love in your heart, and cut you off from all appetites, desires, and passions of the nafs. But know that entrance into the world of al-mithal is only for the travelers (as-salik). It is a state called the inevitable event (al-waqi'a), intermediate between wakefulness and sleep. It is important that you are aware of this place and time, and that you know of the existence of this intermediary space. If you do not have an awareness of this state, then you sleep is only sleep and is of no consequence.
In the beginning the travelers are overcome by sleep. Later they are more wakeful, so that when they see spiritual bodies, they think they see them in a waking state. In reality they see them in this inner space. It is in this state that Jibra'il came to the companions of the Prophet in the form of an Arab carrying the spirit of the Prophet.
It is important to purify the nafs and the heart. The sign that the heart has been purified is its receptivity to inspiration and divine knowledge, and its agreement with the Qur'an and the sunnah. Evidence for the purification of the nafs comes when it is free from anger, envy, pride, and hatred of some parts while inclined toward other parts of creation. The right state is when all creation is equal in your sight; to love everyone, but not so excessively that is cuts you off from the Haqq, nor to hate anyone inwardly so that it occupies you from the remembrance of the Haqq. It is important in this station for the salik to cut off his appetites for food and clothing. If you see that you have a preference for some foods and not for others, or you have a preference in what you wear, then you need to struggle with your self to avoid excess and negligence by these two worldly goods. This is the first step toward the nafs al-kamala because the perfection (al-kamala) is not arrived at unless you wean yourself from the appetite for food and clothing. If you find that you still have these appetites, know that you are not on the path toward the Haqq, the path of those who are brought near. If this claim to be on the path is made while these appetites persist, know that this is the claim of the shaitan. Those who do not stop these habits will fall into them and stop traveling. If you want arrival, then disconnect from everything that stops you form reaching your Beloved. Avoid everything other than Allah. Do not sit with anyone, even if he claims to be al-Khidr, if you see him preoccupied with creation in his actions and if you do not see him engaged in the actions of the people of traveling, which is the only way to reach Allah.
Know that the heart has a side facing the outward world which is under the governance of the five senses, and it does not know anything of this outside world except through these senses. The heart also has a side facing the unseen world which is the world of the malakut. Whenever you turn toward the seen world with your five senses, you turn away from the unseen world. In the beginning you cannot be turned to both sides at the same time. Whenever you turn toward one side, the other becomes absent, and there is a big difference between the two worlds. The seen world is extremely far away form the presence of the Haqq. If the heart turns to the seen world and leaves the unseen world, it becomes like an animal. This is why a person becomes captive to his appetites, to anger, to engaging in sleep and in what does not concern him, and in argumentation and confrontation without concern for the ending of his affairs. But if he turns to the unseen world by following the orders, leaving the prohibited, leaving everything that does not concern him, leaving excess talk, excess sleep and excess eating, then he takes on the angelic attributes. Anger and appetite come under his command, and he becomes an insan al-kamal worthy of the trust.
Know that anger and appetites are like rust. Just as a mirror cannot receive images if it is covered with darkness, the ruh cannot receive the tajalli if it is covered with anger and appetite, unless these two qualities are governed by the directives of the shari'a.
The deficiencies of the nafs are many. Only the sincere among the travelers can walk through them. This is through al-mujahada, through seeking the aid of Allah in opposing the shaitan and the resistance of humankind and the jinn. Everyone in existence seeks to stop the traveler from reaching his Lord out of envy and jealously, because they know that whoever crosses this path is given sovereignty over them!
Know that envy only hurts the one who exercises it. The traveler should not pay any attention to envy, to those who are envious, nor fear envy. This is possible when the traveler knows that Allah is closer to him than anything else, and knows that he does not move a foot except by the will and the power of Allah. He holds onto the knowledge that Allah knows everything in the heavens and on earth, and that Allah ahs a greater mercy toward him than any mother is capable of having for her child. Only good comes from Allah; evil is only in the outward of things. If you were to look inward, you would know that everything is good. What is called evil is simply what does not agree or accord with the nature of people. Goodness is connected to the great essence, which is perceived only through the cleaning of the heart, which becomes a witnessing through the cleaning of the heart, which becomes a witnessing through tasting.
If you know this, then you know four things: there is nothing that can oppose the power of Allah; Allah has knowledge of everything; Allah is very tender and the Most Merciful; and all actions of Allah are good.
Whoever knows these matters is not afraid of the plottings of the envious and has no fear of people or of shaitan. So, O traveler, hold onto these four knowings, contemplate their meanings, be truthful in your turning to Allah, and do not turn to anything that does not concern you. When you truly know that Allah has power over everything, this increases your himma in turning to Him, in your prayer to Him and in your confidence in His answering you. Any petition that is made in this state is never denied.
As for your realization that He has knowledge of everything, that He is gentle and merciful, and that all His actions are good, these are the qualities or the knowledge that establishes you in the station on reliance on Allah, acceptance of Allah, yearning for Allah, love of Allah, and other such stations and states, and that help you in your ascension to the third maqam, which is called the secure and inspired station (al-maqam al-mulhama). From that you ascend to the complete rest and satisfaction station (an-nafs al-mutma'inna), then to the well-pleased station (an-nafs ar-radiyya), then to the well-pleasing station (an-nafs al-mardiyya), and then to the perfect station (an-nafs al-kamala).
Know that it is a custom of Allah that the precondition for ascension form the second to the third station happens only at the hand of the gnostic traveler who has knowledge of the stations and the states of the way. Allah does break with customs. It is possible that one can ascend if he has understanding and intelligence, especially if he studies the teachings in the books. Then Allah will give him the helping hand of one of the knowers. Progression from the third to the fourth maqam can only happen with the perfect traveler, who is not necessarily the perfect gnostic. You do not say about anyone that he is the perfect traveler unless he has perfected the fourth station where the nafs is called al-mutma'inna. Progression to the forth station is only possible with the perfect one (al-kamala) because the third station is one of the most difficult and one of the most dangerous stations. It combines both good and evil, benefit and harm. It is easy to confuse the Haqq with what is false and disbelief with realization, except for those whose worship and whose following of the shari'a has become customary, who have a noble disposition of the nafs, who are generous, who are correct in their perception of the revelation, and who see the truth as truth and falsity as false. It will become clear how dangerous this third maqam is.
As for the ascension from the fourth to the fifth and then on to the sixth and seventh, except for a few, the traveler does not need the hand of the guide because when Allah lights up the light in the heart form the light of the Perfected One, then the traveler sees all the perfections, and all he needs is the himma to reach them. He does not need the guide so much. How you know that the fourth station is al-kamil even through it is of the lower rank of perfection.

Movie Mistakes You Can't Unsee
Movie Mistakes
We love our films not because they're perfect but because despite some mistakes like continuity errors or editing mishaps, we love them for it.
Keep reading to see some funny mistakes in your favorite movies that are sure to have you giggling.
Independence Day
In Independence Day, there's great looking shot of the Empire State Building. But did you know that this would be impossible in real life?
The real Empire State Building is actually on a street corner, so there's no chance that it could be in the center of the road like that.
John Carpenter's Halloween instantly became a cult classic. With our beloved antagonist Michael Myers stalking the cast.
But Haddonfield is set somewhere in Illinois, the kicker is that there are palm trees. How can a place like that have palm trees!
The Lord Of The Rings
Frodo and Sam leaving the Shire is a big moment for them. This scene is filled with anticipation of adventure. But if you look at the top right of the panning shot in this scene. You'd catch a glimpse of a car driving past.
We didn't know they could have used a car to get to Mount Doom.
This one may not be a movie mistake, but we thought we'd add it here anyway. Remember when Monica gets stung on the beach so Chandler pees on the sting?
Well, this is an old myth and it would actually cause more harm than good. Rather poor seawater or vinegar on the sting.

Learn About the Top Strategies for Preventing a Hotel Fire
6/19/2022 (Permalink)
Strategies for Preventing a Hotel Fire
A hotel fire is a disastrous situation that endangers multiple people and destroys large amounts of property. Preventing one can be challenging since various potential factors can ignite it. Thankfully, you have employees who can look after the entire building. Learn about some of the top prevention strategies you will need to protect your Guthrie, OK, hotel.
Review Potential Hazards
Your facility has a large number of potential hazards that can spark a fire. Record every item and operation inside the hotel and then create a list of all possible scenarios such as:
- Defective electric appliances
- Damaged wires
- Faulty electrical sockets
- Blocked ventilation
- Improperly disposed cigarettes
- Cluttered kindling (furniture, paper, chemicals, etc.)
Predicting these risks can help you create solutions for each one. The hotel's conditions can change over time, so it is important to constantly update these assessments.
Encourage Fire Prevention
Reducing the chances of a hotel fire is a task you cannot accomplish alone. Your staff can assist you whenever possible. Besides basic information such as evacuation routes and extinguisher locations, they should also know prevention tactics. Use information from the fire hazard evaluations to encourage safety practices such as thoroughly cleaning rooms and reporting incidents and malfunctioning devices. Take it a step further and kindly encourage guests to follow these guidelines as well.
Assign Fire Wardens
Although everyone should know prevention and evacuation procedures, there should be established leaders who can help others. Fire wardens can fulfill leadership roles that involve thwarting and responding to fires. Some of their responsibilities include directing guests to safety, informing crew members about fire hazards and disclosing information to you, emergency response agents and fire restoration technicians. Assign wardens to their own floor and ensure they know the layout, the guest list and other crucial information.
Preventing a hotel fire can sound like an overwhelming feat due to the building's size and population. If you and your employees follow the right prevention strategies, you can minimize or outright avoid a disaster.
