What is wisdom? As you begin reading through Proverbs today this is a question that should be on your mind because Proverbs is all about defining what is wise.
Let me help you start your definition by clarifying something for you. Wisdom is not cerebral. What I mean is that wisdom is not about knowing stuff. That is knowledge. In fact, as you read through Proverbs you will see a distinction made between knowledge and wisdom. They are related, and one plays into the other, but they are not the same thing. Knowledge is what you know, wisdom is what you do with what you know. Wisdom welcomes more knowledge, and knowledge is only useful with wisdom. It is one thing to know that it is wrong to steal, it is another thing to structure your life according to that knowledge. That is wisdom.
You will notice as we get into Proverbs that wisdom is exceedingly practical. Again, Proverbs does not paint a picture of intellectual pursuit for us. It paints a picture of a godly life that is governed by right decisions, decisions that are governed by the right knowledge. Repeatedly you will read that a wise person welcome reproach but a fool rejects correction (Proverbs 15 especially talks about this). Openness to knowledge, correction and instruction are characteristics of the wise. Wisdom works itself out in how you live, in how you conduct business, build relationships and react to life.
In fact, there are lots of characteristics of the wise that Proverbs talks about. We could spend a whole year talking about what a wise person looks like from Proverbs!
As you read, ask the Holy Spirit where you are like the wise and ask where you are more like the fool. Notice the comparisons between the two.
Happy reading

- What was new from this piece of scripture? What was something that really stood out for me that I have never paid attention to before?
- Does Jesus appear in this passage of scripture?

In Taoist meditation, specifically Zuowang, or "Sitting in Oblivion," there's that state you enter where you lose track of your physical body, your senses, and your thoughts cease. In some circles, they call this "emptiness," and in other circles, they call it "wuji," "void," or "primordial chaos." In either case, it's pretty rad.
I've had some pretty off the wall things happen during the times I actually reach this state, like actually communicating with one of my friends who just happened to be in that state at the same time, or reaching some sort of insight to a question or problem that has bothered me. But for the most part, I'm in this profoundly relaxed state of mind (or no-mind?) where, when my meditation is over, I feel as if nothing can bother me. Not even if someone comes up to me and calls me a panty-waste.
But I've found that the more I practice my meditation diligently and painstakingly, the more I reach that state of ultimate relaxation, the less that the daily and mundane things bother me.
In the book of Zhuangzi, he talks about perfected men being able to walk into water and not get wet, and walk into fire and not get burned. Not literally, of course, but he meant to say that the more you cultivate stillness and quietude within yourself, the more you can go about your daily life unscathed by the wretchedness of the matrix of our human society. You can stay centered amidst the flying egos once you go outside or log onto facebook.
I have miles to go before I can get to that point, but I find myself getting closer by a centimeter each day.

Pulsar punches hole in companion star disc
Observations by Chandra are providing NASA with new insight into the power of pulsars.
Below this artist's illustration are three images captured by Chandra showing evidence that a clump of material has been blasted out of a double star system at high speeds.
X-ray: NASA/CXC/PSU/G.Pavlov et al; Illustration: NASA/CXC/M.Weiss
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is tracking a clump of gas hurtling through space at four million miles an hour that was formed when a pulsar punched a hole in the disc around its companion star.
Double star system PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 consists of a massive star 30 times as big as the Sun and a pulsar, an ultra-dense neutron star left behind by a supernova explosion.
The pulsar's huge companion star is rotating close to break-up speed, creating a disc of material around it. The pulsar then passes through this disc every 41 months as it makes its closest approach to the star.

This contemporary classical piece "Zavaya" was written for the Omnibus Ensemble in 2012 by Austrian-Iranian composer Anahita Abbasi. It premiered within a new program at the Tongyeong International Music Festival, South Korea in March 2012.
Zavaya is a term for geometric angles in the Persian language. Thus the music in this piece is an imaginary conversation between the mathematics of varying angles, projected into our world with sounds.

Somewhere in this Christmas tree is a robin, whose only mission is to completely frustrate you.
Want to find this cat? You might need to "paws" what you're doing and give it your full attention.
Literally shook.
When you least expect it, trouble always has a sneaky way of finding you.
What a bunch of sass-holes.
You can laugh and you can cry...even at the same time.
Once you see, you can't unsee.
Seeing is believing.
Photos timed so perfectly you'd think they were taken by robots.
There's some crazy brain and eye trickery going on here.
These people are just extra.
Wait... what is going on in these photos?!?!?!
You can't make this stuff up, because why would you?
Extra! Extra! These people are extra!
These photographs prove that timing is everything!

I was looking high and in the distance and the Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) came in low and was almost on top of me before I saw it yesterday morning at Huntley Meadows Park. I had to scramble and pull back on my zoom lens to capture this image, which barely fit into the frame of the viewfinder. (The EXIF data for the shot indicate that it was shot at 309mm of my 150-600mm Tamron telephoto zoom lens.)
I feel like I should have been able to take better advantage of the situation that presented itself, but I am not disappointed. As I have noted repeatedly, any day with a bald eagle is a great day.

The ranks of anti-dentites grew last summer when dentist Walter Palmer killed Cecil the Lion and, if a new report from the AP's investigative team is true, there's gonna be a lot more of 'em.
For decades, dentists have been advising us to torture ourselves by flossing daily to prevent gum disease, plaque buildup, cavities and other dental issues … apparently for no good reason.
After noticing the government's recommendation to floss had been removed from the latest edition of The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the AP asked the feds why that was the case.
It took a Freedom of Information Act filing to get an answer, but the feds finally responded that the effectiveness of flossing had never been researched, as required, so it was removed.
Since the government never adequately looked into the topic, the AP did its own examination of 25 studies from the past decade that looked into the effects of brushing versus flossing.
The AP's analysis found that "the evidence for flossing is 'weak, very unreliable,' of 'very low' quality and carries 'a moderate to large potential for bias.'"
Whether you choose to keep lying to your dentist about how much you floss is entirely up to you, but if you decide to opt out of the practice entirely, we have a suggestion that may help.

Virtual Reality or VR has become the new buzz word especially in the gaming world but don't let that fool you as it has applications in almost every walk of life including the health service, education and numerous industries, but today we are going to look at what VR can do for the gamers.
So how does it actually work?
At present VR devices are pretty similar although how they actually project the images in front of our eyes can vary. PC based operations like the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive require you to have a decent PC. Google and Samsung offer customers smartphone based headsets which are more affordable, and Sony have the PlayStation VR.
Google and HTC are pretty keen to provide standalone VR which is something to look forward to.
What everyone who is making Virtual Reality headset, app or game for that matter is working for is to make the whole experience totally immersive. This means that the experience is so real that players forget the computer, the headgear and all the associated accessories to become totally wrapped up in the game acting just as if they were in the real world.
In order to do this what appears to be a life sized. 3D virtual environment is created without the boundaries that we usually see and accept with television or computer screens.
For instance if we take a look at an online casino like Schmitts Casino and check out the choice of games they offer you can see that Live Multi Player Roulette is one of the options.
Live games are one of the nearest things to a real casino that players can experience as they are streamed from a real casino to your television screen via your webcam. The croupier or dealer is a real life human and games take place in real time.
Now imagine if you could take that experience further. Imagine that you could enter the casino and take in the complete environment, the table you chose to play at would probably have players from all over the world experience the same environment as you.
In fact the possibilities are quite fantastic when you begin to think about what could be achieved. Tournaments could be played via VR and that would mean that competitors would not have to travel from venue to venue in order to play.
We do have a way to go before that happens, but if technology keeps up with its present trend of advancing in leaps and bounds, the future for games looks virtual.

They just retained a craps table. I have never played the game but was willing to learn. Tony and company was extremely rude and was unwilling to help me learn. Him and company just laughed at all the bets other uneducated craps players placed....and said, " it's your money you pick the bets. We cannot give advice." ...I have always had fun energetic people help me play games I didn't understand. I will never bet their again. They made learning new games intimidating and I will never recommend going there.

|The Forest Inn hotel building was three stories high, and
surrounded by a covered porch. There were originally three other buildings associated
with it: a maintenance building (which was incorporated in the Practice House -- it still
stands), a bowling alley and billiard room (which was replaced by the first
Gymnasium), and the Gas House (which still stands on Woodstock Court as
"Building 126"). The building was built in the Shingle Style that was popular
at the time, with dark shingles and clapboards. Later, Dr. Ament
the walls covered with pebble-dash stucco. Above the front entrance is a
stained-glass panel spelling out "Ye Forest Inne."
Click on any of the images below to see a larger version of the picture.
|The interior rooms which had been used as gaming rooms and bars in the last year of the hotel were converted into classrooms and parlors by the Cassedys.
|Before there were sorority clubhouses, there was a social hall within Main.
|An art studio occupied one of Main's rooms in the early days.
|By the end of the Cassedy era, Main was no longer such a multi-purpose building. Social functions were held in the sorority houses, and students resided elsewhere. It was still an elegant building, as this 1918 view of the Reception Hall shows. Although the fireplace is still there, the appearance of the entryway has otherwise been changed drastically by the Army.
|During the Ament era, the bookstore, post office and bank were located in the hallway (known as the "Ballroom Link") leading from Main to Ament Hall.
|The dining room was expanded several times to accommodate an increasing number of students. The Dutch fireplace at the center of the room dominated the scene. It still stands today, but the beautiful ceiling and ornaments have been covered in Army painted colors.
|Another view of the dining room. Today, the room is unused, badly damaged from water and neglect. Faded tapestries on the walls are among the only hints at the beauty of the room.
|The kitchen was also expanded and moved. A large number of cooks and serving maids were employed by the school. Some of them lived on campus, and others came from surrounding neighborhoods.
|Adjacent to the dining room on the first floor of Main was Ye Blue Bird, a popular place to get ice cream and desert. This room was originally a tea room.
|The scenic view of the Glen from the veranda has endured (although now you are treated to the sights and sounds of the Capitol Beltway). Recuperating war veterans also rested on this porch.

Review 59 – Free Video Game
Mighty Jill Off, Jump the Tower
This homage to the game Mighty Bomb Jack is a deceptibly simple platformer. Jill must impress her empress by climbing up the tower, and to that end she has her only superpower: a super jump.
This game presents two obstacles: First, it's a vertical platformer, so it might take a while to get the hang of it. Second, you have to actually read the "readme" file, because if you don't, you won't know that tapping the jump button twice can make a jump shorter. And believe me, you'll need that trick.
A challenging and cool game, so you should definetly check it out. Oh, and if you finish the tower fast enough, your reward will be a new, secret tower! Try to unlock the secret level!

How to Compose a Personal Reflection
A superb WORK or SITTING score is anything you'll want many more significantly, to get fund money, and to get approved to the school of the alternative. Don't produce the error of thinking you're a powerful student and so will quickly do well on these exams. You have to learn precisely what each test is currently searching for and prepare appropriately. In this article I will discuss how to prepare for your SAT Reasoning test. Things You'll NeedMany people elect to register for particular test prep courses, but I don't believe that it is not unnecessary to commit all that income. It is possible to spend much less purchasing a several books that are great and utilizing free online learning resources. The SITTING has 3 pieces: Writing, Critical Reading and Q. Let us take a look at all these: Stage 1 Reading To accomplish a high report in this area you will need comprehension skills that are exceptional. Also to have the capacity to recognize the passing, you'll should comprehend the vocabulary used. So, it is not dispensable to produce a great vocabulary.
You'renot being evaluated, and nobody is examining your record.
Once a book is examine by you and locate term you don't know – look it up. Enjoy games online – www. freerice. org is an excellent site that donates every time to grain to weak nations you will get the word's definition correct. Step two Creating This area centers on correct grammar. Our daughter used the Princeton Grammar Smarts to brush up her syntax. Even be confident to learn the punctuation rules. Additionally, you'll must write a brief composition. Once again terminology performs a vital element in a high score. Exo platform exo platform is a business collaboration tool that includes a https://phonetrackingapps.com/best-free-keylogger/ very capable content management system.
Use caps sparingly to incorporate emphasis.
Test prep publications do review exactly what the testers are seeking, but I will suggest Our Accessibility Publishing Software posted by Vantage Learning, if you desire additional training. You must buy the standard house package and then the SITTING article add on. A membership continues annually and it can be shared by you. Work through the web class and publish documents for immediate grading. Studies show your dissertation must be longer in place of brief – aim at circular 400 terms. Step 3 MathematicsThis is probably the toughest area for in case you are vulnerable at q to organize. Test-prep guides and online sites can give lots of troubles to practice, but when you discover that you simply don't realize why you are obtaining the wrong responses, you might need to-go for added math tutoring or sort out a math course athome.
Type the heading for your letter.
Our children have loved Life of James math system. The guides are written in history structure which makes the q equally understandable and exceptionally enjoyable. The guides are not superior and much faster than normal packages – but anything is covered by them. I would recommend Starting Algebra, Advanced Algebra for SAT prep. Calculators are authorized – as well as in reality you're more likely if you are using one on most issues, to attain greater scores. Ensure yours matches the specs (check on the Collegeboard site) as well as make sure to understand how to use it as you will not have occasion inside the exam to work it out. The typical test-prep books I think will be the many beneficial are the Princeton books.
You will do more projects that are rigorous than you do in your typical research courses in faculty.
They explain the way that is easiest as well as the viewpoint behind the assessments to tackle them. The publications are filled with ideas that are outstanding, for instance, when to go away the question out, or HOWTO realize when you must suppose. All their guidance was used by our girl and were left with a fantastic rating. Also utilize the numerous free online test prep supports such as your day you can subscribe to at the Collegeboard website's SITTING query. SAT Planning is another location you'll find links along with some guides your neighborhood public collection might have. Ideas & WarningsDo not abandon your SAT prep too late. Really, beginning in middle school is just an intelligent strategy and from the moment you accomplish senior high school you need to be setting aside typical occasion every week to focus on test prep.

Villains and their often intricate complexities can be incredibly difficult to get right; for superhero narratives specifically, an interesting balance needs to be struck in how they are pit against heroes. Physicality is not the only manner in which a villain should excel to be considered a formidable threat. In fact, sometimes physical prowess is of no interest at all. A villainous character's motives are typically put under a microscope, as is intelligence, personal ethics or code, and how they choose to enact their nefarious deeds. Many villains in the Arrowverse can be simply characterized by the criteria stated above, because story arcs allow them to develop into characters that are just as rounded as the franchise's most dynamic heroes.
RELATED: 8 Arrowverse Costumes That Are Better Than The Comics (And 7 That Are Much Worse)
However, there are admittedly several Arroverse baddies who comparatively fall short, either due to one-dimensional characterizations or an aspect of their mission and/or motives being exceedingly vague. We want to examine both strongly depicted villains and those who miss the mark. Because the list could stretch to an unmanageable number, only Arrowverse rogues who have been featured in recurring and impactful roles are being considered. Therefore, the villain of the week types who come and go with little fanfare will not receive mention.
Consisting of villains Malcolm Merlyn, Eobard Thawne, Damien Darhk, and, briefly, Leonard Snart, the Legion of Doom is a culmination of everything the Arrowverse gets right. By combining some of the more formidable big bads from Arrow and The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow's second season excelled in a way that season one struggled with narratively. The dynamic between the small group makes for arguably the Legion of Doom's most fascinating trait. Moreover, they're all unique, bringing with each of them a subset of abilities the Legends have trouble overcoming, especially with a speedster in the mix.
The supervillain team has several subplots acting independently of their search for the Spear of Destiny that also separates them from other main villains in the Arrowverse. These subplots are both interpersonal and intrapersonal, offering them character development capable of rivaling some of the Legends'.
Following seasons one and two, wariness was abound with thoughts of yet another speedster causing trouble for Team Flash in the show's third run. The "Barry must get faster" formula hit critical mass in the Arrowverse's storytelling, but Savitar's involvement piqued the interest of many thanks to his comic origins. A cult of followers and an insatiable thirst for speed and its various attributes are all intrinsically tied to the Savitar of Flash lore.
Fortunately, the show translates his power and ambition flawlessly. Where it falls flat is in crafting a mystery about the evil speedster's identity… and the design of his armor. The intricate details surrounding Savitar's identity are convoluted with time travel science that consistently borders on confusion with inescapable causal loop troubles. Additionally, his motivations contradict the values of the man hidden behind the armor.
Zoom had to follow The Flash season one's main villain, Reverse-Flash, which is no easy feat. Most would agree he's one of the Arrowverse's best big bads, if not the most terrifying. This depiction of the character, who in the comics is frequently another alias of Reverse-Flash, is demonic in nature.
With his haunting masked visage and voice over from demon voice extraordinaire, Tony Todd, the character induced fear in a myriad of ways. Who can forget his dragging Flash across Central City to show citizens their hero weak and defeated? A compelling backstory and a fascinating season long mystery surrounding his identity also elevated interest in Zoom as a character. All of the above eventually culminated in an incredible season finale tease that has since pervaded the Arrowverse admirably.
While Damien Darhk fares much better on Legends of Tomorrow as a member of the Legion of Doom, his Arrow debut in season four left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately for Darhk, he headlined the advent of magic on Arrow; thus, his storyline was saddled with the show abandoning its grounded nature. Generally, the character's interactions with Green Arrow looked somewhat silly, as a magic force would stop the hero in his tracks amidst a serious scene between the two.
Thankfully, this is rectified on Legends as Darhk embraces the silliness, taking mustache-twirling villainy to a new and exciting level. It works for him quite well, but even in that role he fails to evolve beyond the two-dimensional character on display throughout Arrow's fourth run. Should he return, it would be interesting if other layers of the magician received exploration.
Deathstroke remains the pinnacle of what villainy in the Arrowverse has to offer, though it can be argued better written villains have come along since he struck fear in the heart of Oliver Queen. Slade's motives were always questionable, but eventually received an explanation using his Mirakuru dependence as a crux. Regardless of the finer details, his characterization was about as complex as Oliver's, especially considering the development of their relationship in flashbacks. The extent to which he was willing to take his vengeance added to such complexity.
A calculated man, Deathstroke throughout Arrow season two was a triple threat -- psychologically, physically and intellectually, he was often the Arrow's superior. Prior to season five, the character's arc locked away on Lian Yu took an unfavorable turn. Things are looking up for him, though, as season six is set to delve even deeper into the much venerated villain turned… anti-hero(?).
The excitement of fans upon learning of Cyborg Superman's debut on Supergirl was difficult to contain. Such anticipation was swiftly deflated as season two progressed and the real Hank Henshaw acted as Lillian Luthor's muscle and absolutely nothing more. There exists no intricacy behind the character nor his motives; there's no explanation for why he adopted the name Superman. In truth, Cyborg Superman is arguably the most one-dimensional of all the recurring Arrowverse villains.
Little of what's been done with the character in the comics can be properly translated to Supergirl. Thus, changes were expected. But the mask he typically dons and the lack of character development even baffles actor David Harewood. Like many other Arrowverse villains with questionable fates, Cyborg Superman is bound to return; perhaps he will do so in a manner deserving of his namesake.
Though she's probably not the best "nemesis" for the Girl of Steel, as Supergirl chooses to identify her, Leslie Willis/Livewire is a reasonably formidable threat. In season two, she's given the Captain Cold treatment, wherein her and Supergirl make a deal ensuring her escape, a deal not too dissimilar from Captain Cold and The Flash's arrangement. Thus, she's bound to return in some form or fashion.
As far as Arrowverse villains go, Livewire isn't at the top of the list, yet she's perhaps the cream of the crop for Supergirl. The character's relationship to Cat Grant provides an interesting enough backstory, and her electricity powers give each bout with Supergirl a different course of direction. Apart from these facets, complexity is relatively non-existent where she's concerned. But she makes the list because so few villains can unnerve both Kara Danvers and Supergirl.
Metallo should be the villain Supergirl deems her archnemesis, but alas he receives no such honor. His portrayal in the first couple of episodes in season two, and a later one, is not particularly a miss. However, he seems shoehorned into a complex narrative revolving around Superman's official debut and the teasing of Cadmus. As such, John Corben is little more than a mysterious hitman for hire before being thrust into the iconic role of Metallo.
Cadmus' involvement may be the only saving grace, but even that is hampered by another Metallo taking some of the spotlight (in The Last Children of Krypton") and defective Kryptonite. It is likely he'll return, probably filling a role reminiscent of Metallo's in Superman: The Animated Series. Should that be the case, it will be interesting to see whether he goes full-on cyborg.
Malcolm Merlyn has been a mainstay in the Arrowverse since the beginning, acting as the villain of Arrow's first season, and then reappearing in a number of roles across all of the shows minus Supergirl. Few villains are as menacing as Merlyn, especially considering his close ties to the Queen family. These ties make him all the more compelling, as they allow for narratives both big and small to revolve around his typically hostile relationship with the Queens and, most notably, Thea.
Over time, audiences have watched as the cruel and overly ambitious billionaire has been humbled, navigating several tragedies to varying degrees of success. Though he demonstrates it in the most disturbing of ways, Merlyn's love for his own family drives a bulk of his decisions. It's equal parts terrifying and admirable, making him one of the Arrowverse's most beloved recurring characters.
Ra's al Ghul won't be remembered as Arrow's worst villain, but his tenure as season three's big bad is forgettable and rarely recalled favorably -- it's a shame, really. His being a fan favorite Batman villain and essentially playing a role similar to the more famous stories featuring the two drew ire as Arrow's season three arc began to unfold. To many, Ra's involvement cemented The CW's Green Arrow as a knockoff of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight. However, this iteration of the Demon's Head was particularly off-putting because of his poorly cultivated relationship with Oliver Queen.
Perhaps even more egregious, apart from the controversial casting, is that he so easily suffered defeat. Was he formidable? Sure. But did this depiction of Ra's live up to what's been expected of him in comics, animation, film, and gaming for the last several decades? The general consensus suggests the answer is no.
Wentworth Miller doesn't hold back on delivering Captain Cold as campy as he is usually depicted elsewhere. This camp, though, is imbued with a sinister bent that is both gratifying and eerie. The intonations of his voice, the way his eyes and mouth move when he speaks, and the way he articulates the names of certain characters makes Captain Cold work on a variety of levels similar villains have failed to achieve (i.e., Arrow's Count).
As one of the Arrowverse's premiere recurring villains, Leonard Snart is nothing if not beloved. What's launched his stay into a league of its own is the intriguing character progression that saw him go from criminal mastermind in The Flash to adopting heroic qualities throughout Legends' first season. Fortunately, the Arrowverse doesn't seem finished with him just yet.
Many may recall the hype surrounding Alchemy as The Flash entered its third season. Tom Felton had been cast as the mysterious Julian Albert, and Saw's Tobin Bell would provide the voice for Alchemy. Another intricately woven narrative akin to that of Zoom was expected of season three's big bad. However, Alchemy's identity was hardly a mystery.
Ultimately, it was a matter of how his mask would come off and the motives influencing the man wearing it. Both proved interesting enough thanks to his aptly written dissociative identity disorder, but as a threat, the character fell short. Once the menace of Alchemy was removed, his character's involvement in the story became spotty. He'd appear frequently for a while before vanishing, evidence of there being little room for him outside of a villainous role.
For the first time since season one, Arrow's main villain was a mystery to be solved. Season five returned the show to its grounded roots, and with it reintroduced the weight of a captivating villain who posed a threat rivaling Deathstroke in season two. Prometheus, similar to Slade before him, was a foe capable of psychologically, physically and intellectually challenging Green Arrow. A deeply personal vendetta drove Prometheus' madness, allowing for attacks against his enemy to reflect his intentions. As such, Oliver, and not Star City, received the brunt of the pain the villain's vengeance wrought.
His character development was also incredibly strong, not to mention the phenomenal job of the actor behind the mask who never failed to own every scene in which he took part. Here's to hoping Prometheus isn't an anomaly -- his season five arc truly returned Arrow to the excellence of its first two outings.
Several things plagued Legends of Tomorrow's divisive first season, chief among them being Vandal Savage. As one of DC's most famous immortal figures, Savage's arrival in the Arrowverse was expected to embark the characters on an epic new venture. To be fair, a new venture fans did receive, yet epic it was not. The character's close ties to Hawkgirl and Hawkman severely hindered his characterization; by proxy, much of his overarching narrative was crippled as well.
Vandal Savage, despite being a thrill to watch thanks to Casper Crump's portrayal, often felt like more of a grand idea and less of an actual, tangible threat. His obsession with the Hawks bordered on absurd, as his connection to them was superfluously woven into nearly every major plot point, which in turn took away from their strengths as individual characters.
Reverse-Flash in any timeline is consistently fun to watch. Setting the tone for The Flash's first season, he, similar to Deathstroke on Arrow, helped define Barry Allen as a hero. For Barry, everything begins with Eobard Thawne; it will be a wonder if it doesn't eventually end with him as well. As a villain, Thawne checks all the necessary boxes. He's threatening, terrifying, has an interesting backstory, and always manages to subvert expectations. His arrogant, know-it-all personality is also eloquently developed, which made his transition to Legends fitting as he was paired with the likes of Malcolm Merlyn and Damien Darhk.
Most intriguing is watching one of the Arrowverse's more formidable foes shake in terror at the sight of another, Black Flash. It's a small touch, but Thawne balancing an exertion of authority and the sensation of fear concurrently is an arc seldom explored with villains.
What are your thoughts on the Arrowverse's many villains? Let us know in the comments!

Chrissie Gittins' poetry for children is rich and varied in both form and subject; her three...
River Torridge
I knew the river hid
behind the bank,
lying, like a length of silk,
stretched between the willows.
The surface ripped,
something dived –
gone too long to be a bird.
Weasel head above the water,
down he went again,
a flash of oily fur.
He swam up beside,
this time he stayed,
looking at me straight.
I walked to keep his pace.
I loved his length –
his tail his body,
his body his tail,
his tail the river's length.
We moved together
through the wind,
along the river's course.
Another dive,
I skimmed the current,
searching for his guise.
He'd gone on alone.
I felt him though,
gliding through
the river's strength.
There are so many good poems in the Children's Archive, it's hard to know where to start! I'd like to share with you...Take Jean Sprackland's tour >

NOTE: This was a poem I wrote and my mother edited in 2014
Deep into that pool of a heart,
I tried to represent something, other than the dark.
Black water blinds the eyes from their bluer skies
Destiny and faith snuffed out in black flies…
Walking down the path to the minds lake, I revelled in the silence.
Looking above, a white bird and so below, on black, heaping pestilence
Reflections of the moon on the downy wings
I couldn't help but smile, seemingly blue , winged things.
All trials and tribulations seem overbearing to bare
when you're lost in chasm of a man made world
Further down the trail I met a man.
Standing by a well, looking down and peering inside,
I see his dog had died…
The look on his face and the feeling of haste
I decided to muddle on…
"wait, what's your name sir?" he yelled behind me
" my name is gregory" I say
When you walk to the lake, will you say for kinds sake that you wish me good karma and grace?
For I stand here in woe, lost my dog in limbo
and now I'm alone in my life…
Thinking to myself, and remembering the past
I knew I couldn't say no.
Come with me then sir, I too am alone…
together we will find a better home.
The two walked that summers night path
lit by the moon and stars
" when I get to the lake" I said " I'll jump right in"
Black moonlit waters will cleanse me.
Little did I know, when we got to the lake my friend was not behind me…
Out on the water, i then saw his white face
eerily pale as paper before me…
Over the water like a man faded from life
my lone dove punched upon his shoulder…
Stars were his cloak, black water his bed
my mind reeled, this man …was dead.
"I died here, summer '64, was out with my love that day.
Went out on the boat, I knew I could float forever on this lake.
What I would give to touch a face, feel her love and scoff at her bad tastes.
But alas I can't be found, black water, mud and leech bound
in this grave I sleep.
Don't end up like me, don't get caught in the current, if you think you can't swim, you can.
If you think you can't fly, you will.
Just think of me in the deep."

Meet Leah and Chris; raised on Harry Potter, New Labour and a belief that one day they would be as 'special' as their parents promised. But what happens when those dreams don't become reality?
Follow Leah and Chris over these twenty years as they realise the future they were promised as children hasn't turned out as they hoped, against the backdrop of an asteroid heading for earth.
Told through performance and live music on multiple stages, with support from a different Humber Street Sesh band every night, this is Welly like you've never seen it before.
'Brilliantly punchy and poetic... a rousing and invigorating call to arms that speaks directly to anyone trying to find their place in the world.' WhatsOnStage ★★★★
'Hull has arrived in Edinburgh with all guns blazing... All We Ever Wanted was Everything is something between a play and a rock opera, MC'd by a raucous rocker played by Marc Graham. Accompanied by songs, composed by James Frewer and played by the performers, which accurately convey the relevant period, two lives are shown at ten-year intervals... It is only when evaluating their lives a decade on that happiness seems possible at the end of an evening that becomes more than the sum of its parts, any of which would be good on their own but are greatly enhanced in Paul Smith's fine production.'

Professional And Reliable
Look no further for a professional lawn care provider. We strive to be a company you can count on for your grounds maintenance needs. We offer a complete line of services to keep your home or business looking great with a nice neat apperance that adds curb appeal and value to your property. We use a proactive approach and keep in contact with our customers so nothing gets overlooked. We understand that every property has special needs and challenges, that is why our crews are well trained and experienced to care for any property. We can customize a program to fit your specific needs and budget for your property.
Spring Cleanups - Get your yard and season started off the right way with our thorough spring cleanup service. Clean ups are scheduled as soon as weather permits. Our services include cleanup of winter debris such as removing built up sand, sticks, leaves and trash. Power thatching of turf, removal of spent perennials and wild grasses from planting beds, and landscape areas. Sweeping and power blowing of all paved areas, including sidewalks, curb lines, patios and driveways. All leaves and debris will be removed from turf and foundation landscape bushes. We will hand rake mulch beds to give them a fresh look.
Weekly mowing- Our commercial quality equipment will make your property look great! Turf will be cut every week during the accepted normal growth period for our area, typically May through September. All other growing months are subject to biweekly mowing, but shall not exceed 14 days without cutting. Lawns that are not watered by sprinkler systems may have exceptions during dry times. We "stripe" our lawns for a professional unique look, changing directions every couple weeks to avoid tire marks. All turf areas will be mowed at a min. height of 3 ½ inches with special care to be taken on bumpy/hilly sections to avoid scalping. Excessive grass clippings will be removed from turf areas via power blowing or hand rake to maintain a neat appearance. The property will be reviewed each visit to ensure that debris such as bottles, papers, cartons and similar items are disposed of from the turf and planting areas. Excessive amounts of debris such as storm damage, vacant dumped trash or windblown trash from tipped over garbage cans may have separate charges. Lawns will be trimmed along borders, flower beds/planters, fence lines, sidewalks, curb lines, driveways and any other areas using line trimmers. Clippings will be blown or removed from the rock beds, planting beds, walks, street and driveways to ensure a neat appearance. Shrubs will normally be pruned 1-2 times per season with standards of good practice to fit their location and needs of the specific species. Trees up to 6' will be trimmed as necessary to keep good form and not impede with sidewalks or vehicles.
Fertilizer and weed control programs- Let us customize a program that is right for you. We apply both liquid and granular form for both weeds and fertilizer. Bedding weeds will be removed via environmentally safe chemical or hand pulled to control broad leaf weeds. Turf weeds are typically controlled by a spring application of pre-emergent crab grass and up to (3) herbicide treatments throughout the summer. Turf fertilizing is done by applying up to (4) applications of our quality fertilizer to achieve a lush, green lawn.
Fall cleanups - Just as important as the spring cleanup, also get your yard ready for the winter by the professionals.Cleanups are started after the last mowing of the season, typically early to mid October. Our services include removal of all leaves, twigs and debris from turf and landscape beds, we then remove from site. We can cut down all perrenial and wild grasses. This is a good time to do core aeration for your turf. Some trees and bushes need to be protected from the winter sun to prevent winter burn.
Irrigation/sprinkler system maintenance care - Let us start up your system in the spring. We will run through your entire system, check for leaks and proper adjustment of all heads. Clock schedules will be established and monitored according to seasonal needs. We will review periodically for proper adjustment of system throughout the season and adjust as weather and conditions dictate. In the fall (usually second week in October) we will shut down and flush system of water.

Mac and a team of radio hosts from around the country spent 5 days sharing the culture, meeting the locals and experiencing first-hand the work that Compassion International is doing in the lives of the people in the Dominican Republic.
Mac frequently promotes Compassion International on his afternoon show "Afternoons with Mac" where listeners can sponsor a child through Compassion International from countries all over the world. Mac has travelled to Canada and Jamaica, but he couldn't be more excited about visiting an entirely new culture with a cause that is close to his heart.
"It's really about getting tuned in to the culture and connecting with the people living in the Dominican Republic. I consider this trip with Compassion to be a mission more than anything."
With over 1,800 children in need of a sponsor in the Dominican Republic alone, Mac prepares to experience the conditions that these children face as they wait to be sponsored. Sponsorship includes access to Christian training through a local church, education, key life skills training and vocational programs, heath care, supplements to protect against malnutrition, recreational and social activities, protection from danger, and the love shared through the Gospel of Jesus.
Mac's excitement and anticipation for his trip to the Dominican Republic isn't all about experiencing the culture and engaging with the locals.
"I want to leave this country knowing it's story and the reasons why things are the way they are."
After Mac returns to the WMUZ studio, he wants his listeners to feel the passion he holds for giving new life to the children living in poverty, Compassion International's mission and how they are changing lives, but most importantly, Mac wants listeners to be educated on why Compassion is in the Dominican Republic in the first place.
"I want to find answers. There are reasons why these kids are drinking dirty water and have mothers who must sell their bodies for food. I want to know the cause that is effecting thousands of children in this country."
Although Mac knows that he won't find answers to all his questions, he remains optimistic that this trip will educate him and in turn educate his listeners on the raw truth that makes Compassion International's presence in the Dominican Republic so important.

Data Source Plug-ins. Data source plug-ins get the information from any data source, such as a database (Outlook, MySQL, Oracle, Database, MS Exchange, DB2, Lotus Notes, 1C) or the computer's hard drive (Computer, User Folders, Disk Image).
Storage Plug-ins. Storage plug-ins provide the access to the file system. These plug-ins are created for remote backup. At the moment there are the following plugins: FTP, FTPS, SFTP, Online, Network, Amazon S3, WebDAV.
This section contains information about the filters included in the program. Now Handy Backup can do a compression (SingleZIP and MultiZIP), and encryption (BlowFish cipher).
This section provides information about the incremental and differential backup technologies. These technologies doesn't do full backup or overwriting new over the old backup every time, but only save the changes made, so it saves time and disk space.

The Dodd-Frank financial reform law turns five next month. To some U.S. lawmakers, this happy occasion calls for rolling back the burdensome requirements of an act written in the dark days of a global crisis whose origins weren't fully understood.
They have a point. The law is much too complicated and ought to be simplified. But this doesn't amount to simply rolling it back. Getting financial regulation right involves a judicious mix of strengthening some aspects of Dodd-Frank and relaxing others.

why not dropbox?
@ourielohayon As in: why not use dropbox to transfer large files? Well, main thing: you don't need an account for WeTransfer. It's quick and easy and accessible for anyone.
@t55 indeed. but if you have a dropbox account, then less useful right?

Wow, this is cool! But, is there a way to select a customized WT channel? For example "mycompany.wetransfer.com" instead of the default and standard "wetransfer.com"?
@marcobiral Yes, there is: https://www.wetransfer.com/plus
@jruis Uhm, ok, my company has a WT Plus account, but we don't have to login to upload a file in our channel, just type company.wetransfer url.
@marcobiral Yes, I believe that's how it works. Login is to customize etc. far as I remember. You could even share the URL with clients/relations so they can send bigger files while looking at your beautiful backgrounds. Great for branding.

I got this recipe from The Pioneer Woman's website. We did make some changes to it to suit our tastes. These were really good and we will make them again. {print recipe}
4 Tablespoons butter
2 pounds cube steak
salt and pepper
2 small onions, halved and then sliced
1 red pepper, halved and then sliced
1 green pepper, halved and then sliced
1 yellow pepper, halved and then sliced
2 mushrooms, halved and then sliced
2 Tablespoons additional butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
4 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Hoagie rolls
slices of cheese
Cut the cube steak into strips against the grain. Season with salt and pepper and set it aside.
Prepare the onions, peppers, and mushrooms.
Heat the 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over high heat. As soon as it's melted, brown the strips of cube steak. You will need to do this in a couple of batches. Once browned on the one side, flip it over and brown on the other side. We did this longer than the 1 1/2 minutes she suggests as we like our meat well done.
Remove the meat to a clean bowl and brown the rest of the meat. Set this aside while you cook the vegetables.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add onions, garlic powder, and peppers. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms after a couple of minutes and stir.
Pour in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or so, or until liquid has reduced by about a third. We did add the meat when we added the broth and sauce.
Toast your halved hoagie rolls until golden brown, we toasted ours under the broiler. Spoon the meat and vegetable mixture on the lower half of the roll. Spoon a tablespoon or so of juice on top of that. Place on a broiler pan and top with sliced cheese and place under broiler until the cheese is melted.
Drizzle some sauce over the top bun and then serve.

Riverwise Interview with 'Pedal To Porch's' Cornetta Lane
Interview conducted by Eric Thomas Campbell
Neighborhood by neighborhood, Cornetta Lane is coaxing Detroit homeowners onto their porches to take ownership of their communities through the ancient craft of storytelling. The stage may be intimate, but the potential for raising awareness about our identity, and our vital role in protecting it, is vast. In 2014, Lane turned to storytelling as a way to reclaim her own childhood neighborhood, known as Core City, after discovering signs of a misguided effort to rebrand the area as West Corktown.
Lane reacted by canvassing the city blocks where she grew up. She quickly discovered a high level of awareness and a willingness to organize around the issue. Folks in other parts of the city may not have known the area inside the approximate borders of Michigan Avenue, Grand River, Warren and East Grand Blvd. as 'Core City', but the residents living there certainly did.
Out of that initial neighborhood survey, Core City Stories, which has now evolved into Pedal To Porch, was born. Pedal To Porch hosts bike tours through designated neighborhoods, making stops at designated homes where residents emerge onto their porches to tell their story. Lane and her longtime neighbors took the rebranding effort and used it as an opportunity to engage a wider audience in a much-needed conversation about the past, present and future of our city.
The intentional renaming of historic Black neighborhoods is a device used by city planners to make communities more attractive to potential investors, and to speed the erasure of the people's cultural history. Pedal To Porch and Lane's writing on that issue, and the subject of gentrification in general, have increased the scope of the dialogue.
"For me, rebranding is a form of gentrification and it's a hot topic," Lane told Riverwise. "No one wants to be labeled as a gentrifier."
With the help of a Knight Foundation grant, Pedal To Porch has taken the concept citywide. Riverwise met with Lane on her new porch to discuss the evolution of Pedal to Porch and its potential to increase self-determination from within our strongest asset— the neighborhood community. — ETC
Riverwise: After the success of Core City Stories in 2015, how important was it to continue developing the outreach element with Pedal To Porch?
Cornetta Lane: I wanted to create a city-wide conversation about what rebranding can do to neighborhoods. If you look at New York, neighborhoods were rebranded or buildings were rebranded, and then you get this wave of interest coming through those parts of New York and now people are priced out of their homes. I didn't want that to happen to Core City.
When I launched Core City Stories, I needed to get my neighbors involved because I needed to share with them what was going on. I feel like the only way to do that was to go to their door and knock and have a conversation with them.
And then also realizing, there is a digital divide in Detroit. Not everyone has access to the internet. The way that I found out about the effort to establish a 'West Corktown' was scrolling through Facebook and stumbling upon the Model D article.
For Pedal to Porch I kept the same process that I had with Core City [Stories] because it establishes a trust and a relationship with the people I'm working with. Also, with Pedal To Porch, we're usually invited to the neighborhood so we don't presume that Pedal to Porch is for every community.
Pedal To Porch seeks to address the issue of neighbors not knowing each other, and neighbors not having conversations about what's happening in the community. It's built to lower the barrier of connection between neighbors so that we can begin to talk to each other.
I built in the door-to-door campaign, not only to begin to ask questions of the residents, but also to let them know that this thing is happening in their community and if they want to participate, they're more than welcome.
So it's a two-pronged reason for continuing with the door-to-door campaign: The first is to create awareness, the second is to ask questions of the residents. Not every community development organization is going to go door-to-door, so this can create another opportunity to do so."
RW: How has storytelling invigorated and mobilized the neighborhoods that have participated in Pedal To Porch thus far? Can you expand on the idea that storytelling can heighten one's consciousness, or self-consciousness— that in the act of telling your own story you're placing yourself in the course of history, or at least the history of your neighborhood?
CL: The community organizations that are contacting Pedal To Porch have usually already established some sort of organizing process in the neighborhood and want to continue mobilizing residents through Pedal To Porch.
They are intimately aware of what's happening in their neighborhood and they just want to talk about either the history of it, or they just want to have an interesting and fun event.
The thing about Pedal To Porch is stories. I just believe in the power of crafting stories as well as telling stories. For me, crafting stories is all about self-reflection and I feel like when you put aside time to self-reflect, that's growing your emotional intelligence around your experiences and the more you do that the more capable you are of handling different situations and, also, whatever hurt that you've experienced during that time, be able to kind of heal from that.
Story crafting is a form of meditation, I feel. Because it has an ability to self-correct, or even change how you see and view things. It allows for emotional and intellectual exploration and I believe in that…when you come to tell your story you're able to share ideas with people and share experiences and people are able to see themselves in your experience or begin to empathize better. I just think the two of them together, within a community, it's a very powerful tool for mobilizing and that's why it's resonating with a lot of people even outside of Detroit. They see the power that it can have in their neighborhood.
Pedal To Porch in Southwest Detroit, one of the storytellers told a story about how they started the Brown Beret chapter in Southwest Detroit. And another storyteller on a different street responded during the workshop that the Brown Berets had motivated him to become an activist.
They didn't know each other and now they do because someone paved the way for them to become active in Detroit and contribute to their community how they see fit…. I thought that was a really powerful example of growing more in the connection to your community and your community's history.
RW: What types of stories have you been hearing during the tours? What topics seem to be the most popular?
CL: They range from a kid on the East Side, 16, who told a story about losing his dog and his neighbors helping him to find it, and that journey. Another woman talked about how her neighbor– an incredibly kind woman– pointed to a little sprig, or plant, that was in the ground and asked if we should let this thing grow? The other woman said, "Yeah, we should." And now it's like a 50-foot oak tree. One of the women has now passed on, but that tree lives in honor of her, along with the story.
Back in the southwest neighborhood, a man told us about social awareness and why he's now into urban farming. He talked about the extraction of Black wealth and poverty in his community. He was saying a lot of the homes around him burned down and now there are these huge gaps in his community and for every home that's gone, that story and history are gone as well. And so it's up to people in his community to reconnect or even fill in those gaps by creating new things that benefit the community, like gardens.
I think diversity of story is important. We can do issues-based stories, but I just prefer not to influence what people share. I want people to share what they authentically feel because it comes off better that way.
I have considered doing issues-based Pedal To Porches—issues like transportation, food and food insecurity but, for the most part, when we host our storytelling workshops, we just ask people to talk about something significant that happened in their house or on their street and you get the diversity of stories.
RW: I love the idea of people using their own home as their stage. It not only makes the storyteller more comfortable, but provides a perfect prop for the stories themselves. How integral is the storytelling environment to the story?
CL: The interesting thing is that people don't necessarily have to leave their house. One woman– she's an artist– she brought all of her paintings out on the lawn. She had a little lemonade stand for everybody. She really kind of brought her house out so that people could feel comfortable on her front porch.
Public speaking is terrifying in general. But when you can speak on your front porch, I feel like that lessens the anxiety and you've gone through the storytelling workshop, so you know what you're going to say. You're comfortable in your delivery. So now you just have a built-in audience. There's something to be said about the comfort level within that.
RW: How many Pedal To Porch tours have you done? How many stories have been told through Pedal To Porch since its inception?
CL: For Core City it was four, for southwest six, and Eastside along Mack Avenue, five. This summer we're doing four tours in Detroit and each will have five storytellers and then we're doing one in Washington, D.C. with five storytellers.
RW: Have you seen any lasting effects on participants that went beyond the Pedal To Porch experience?
CL: The experience has influenced people to go to the next level in community engagement, or in making their community better. In Core City, after the bike ride, my neighbors began to be more active in the community. So we've launched the 48208 Collaborative. We meet once a month to just share what's happening in the neighborhood. That was pretty awesome.
I think that the best thing that can come from sharing your story is that now you're interested in organizing in your community because you're more connected to the people. Now you don't have that fear that you'll be doing it alone— you'll be doing it together, whatever it is.
On the Eastside, I really wanted to concentrate on conversations along the Detroit/Grosse Pointe border. After the Pedal To Porch on the Eastside, they put together a plan to create a program where Detroiters and Grosse Pointers had to come together to create some kind of public art or public space along the border. They were finalists for the Knight Cities challenge, but they didn't ultimately win. I don't know if they are going to continue with that project, but further action was inspired by those stories.
RW: Are there any new projects or efforts on the horizon for yourself that have evolved out of Pedal To Porch?
I'm starting a new initiative called Dinner for 30, and it's built to bridge cultural divides. I'm inviting a cook– it can be a novice or an expert– to recreate a dish that's connected to their fondest memory and they can invite their Dad or their Mom or their spouse or their best friend to help them prepare this dish. And at the end of their story, the audience will get to taste the dish. We plan on doing five installations of Dinner for 30, and then we're going to create a Detroit Story recipe book. And it's all attached to this identity, food and culture and what food means for communities. So that's the project for the winter months.
RW: How are you dealing with the program's ties to the Knight Foundation and the perceived drawbacks to relying on foundation monies to ignite community engagement, or community development?
CL: So when we won, we went to Philadelphia where the winners' convening was held. I was listening to some of these projects and I thought to myself, are some of these projects encouraging gentrification? Are some of these projects responsible for the alienation that some people feel?
I grapple with that question: Do foundations– that have no previous understanding of what communities are– do they effectively fund projects that will then, in the future, displace people, based on the participation of certain folks and not others?
I can say that, for the Knight Foundation, it has been hands-off. So I don't have to worry that my project exposed people or promoted gentrification. I didn't get push-back from the foundation for that, and I'm glad that I had that freedom.

Asymmetric cell divisions produce new cell types during animal development. Studies in Caenorhabditis elegans have identified major signal-transduction pathways that determine the polarity of cell divisions. How these relatively few conserved pathways interact and what modulates them to ensure the diversity of multiple tissue types is an open question. The Wnt/β-catenin asymmetry pathway governs polarity of the epidermal T seam cell in the C. elegans tail. Here, we show that the asymmetry of T-seam-cell division and morphogenesis of the male sensory rays require NHR-25, an evolutionarily conserved nuclear receptor. NHR-25 ensures the neural fate of the T-seam-cell descendants in cooperation with the Wnt/β-catenin asymmetry pathway. Loss of NHR-25 enhances the impact of mutated nuclear effectors of this pathway, POP-1 (TCF) and SYS-1 (β-catenin), on T-seam-cell polarity, whereas it suppresses the effect of the same mutations on asymmetric division of the somatic gonad precursor cells. Therefore, NHR-25 can either synergize with or antagonize the Wnt/β-catenin asymmetry pathway depending on the tissue context. Our findings define NHR-25 as a versatile modulator of Wnt/β-catenin-dependent cell-fate decisions.
