Will there be a Fellowship Conference this year? Yes, we are planning to, Lord willing, host the conference in Denton, Texas, on April 1-4, 2021. However, due to the current climate of constant change in government mandates, we are moving the usual January 1st registration back to February 15. Currently, Camp Copass, whose facilities we have used to host the conference for the past decade, can host us. We ask that you all would pray that the Lord would keep the door open; and that God would have His hand upon this conference.

Gov't Contract Reform in CA, Revisited
02.28.2024 | Linda J. Rosenthal, JD
In "One of Those Days," we introduced a hypothetical board chairman who – loudly and proudly – told his social media circles about his key role in a local charity and his devotion to the cause. On Facebook one day, he spouted off about a politician who opposed the group's objective, denouncing the official, and endorsing the opponent in the upcoming election.
The Executive Director worried that this quite-public rant would be considered prohibited political activity and that the chairman's writings would attributed to the charity. Was she right to worry that this would jeopardize the group's tax exemption?
This is the exact — and only — language in the federal tax statute governing charitable organizations that deals with political activity. It's short and to the point: political activity is absolutely prohibited. There's no exception if it's just an insubstantial part of the 501(c)(3)'s operations.
It's just not okay.
This restriction on political activity applies to the organization itself. But an organization acts through its key people: the founders, directors, officers, and high-ranking staff. So does everything that these people do and say — even on their own time and in their personal lives — stick to the organization?
People who are associated with a charity don't give up their right to have and express their own opinions, or to engage in the political process. "The political campaign intervention prohibition is not intended to restrict free expression on political matters by leaders of organizations speaking for themselves, as individuals. Nor are leaders prohibited from speaking about important issues of public policy."
So how do these key people — and their organizations — keep this distinction clear enough to stay clear of any troubles with the IRS about the tax exemption?
In short, " . . . for their organizations to remain tax exempt under section 501(c)(3), leaders cannot make partisan comments in official organization publications or at official functions of the organization."
… participates or intervenes, directly or indirectly, in any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office . . . Activities which constitute participation or intervention in a political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to a candidate include, but are not limited to, the publication or distribution of written or printed statements or the making of oral statements on behalf of or in opposition to such a candidate.
Groups that do these things are one of three categories of "action organizations." Not really much more help here.
Revenue Ruling 2007-41 describes 21 different hypotheticals that illustrate various aspects of the political activity prohibition: which types of activities will be ok under the rules and which ones won't pass muster.
Four of the 21 examples are presented to highlight when a key person's statements or activities will or will not be attributed to the organization.
The Case of the Enthusiastic Executive: The CEO of a 501(c)(3) hospital, along with several other prominent healthcare industry leaders, personally endorsed a candidate in a large newspaper ad paid for by the candidate. While listing their names, the ad included a disclaimer that the titles and affiliations of each of the endorsing healthcare executives were provided for "identification purposes" only.
How did the IRS view this situation? The hospital's tax exemption was safe. The ad wasn't paid for by the hospital, and didn't appear in an official hospital publication. And the executive's endorsement was made in a "personal capacity."
The Case of the Prominent Pastor: There was a similar result when a hypothetical minister — just a few weeks before an important election — attended a press conference held at a politician's campaign office. The well-known pastor spoke at the event, endorsing the candidate. He didn't say he was speaking on behalf of his church, but the endorsement was reported on the local newspaper's front page, and he was identified in the article as minister of that church.
Like the hospital executive, this church minister did the right things: he didn't make the endorsement at an official church function, or in an official church publication. He also didn't use any of the church's assets, and didn't say he was speaking as a representative of the church. Under these facts and circumstances, the church's tax exemption was not in jeopardy.
In two more examples, though, there were significant differences and results.
The Case of the Chatty Chancellor: Each month, a university president writes a column called "My Views" in the alumni newsletter. Just before an election, the educator wrote: "It is my personal opinion that Candidate X should be reelected." In an abundance of caution, he personally paid for the portion of the newsletter's cost attributable to this column.
But it wasn't enough for the man to have put up his personal funds, since the newsletter is an official university publication. His personal endorsement put the university's tax exemption in peril.
The Case of the Chirpy Chairman: Just before an election, the Board Chairman of an environmental group discussed a number of issues, including why it was important to vote. "It is important," he concluded, "that you all do your duty in the election and vote for Candidate Y."
This was a huge mistake; the endorsement was made during an official organization meeting, so the Chairman's statement was attributed to the group.
In the third and fourth examples, the candidate endorsements and support occurred at official organization functions or in official organization publications, or were paid for with organization funds.
The IRS makes clear that in deciding how to rule in these types of situations, it carefully considers all of the circumstances, and makes a fact-specific determination each time.
Our board member's actions are much closer to the first two examples than to the second two. Although this Chairman wasn't shy about letting his social media circles know about his key position, reminding them repeatedly about his passion for the mission, his candidate endorsement was unconnected with the organization. He didn't make his statement at an official function or in an official publication. And no organizational funds were used.
Based on the examples given in Revenue Ruling 2007-41, the IRS would likely consider the organization's tax exemption safe.

The idea of this rewriting project came after the release, in 2001, of Shrek, Jenson and Adamson's parodic cartoon : I therefore decided to make pupils write a parody of a magic tale, working on two axes. – First, they had to read different tales and use their readings to write a new tale, integrating characters they had encountered and obeying the tale conventions. – Then, this writing stage was followed by many rewritings, using their drafts. At the same time, I wanted to integrate ICT in this project, word-processing above all, as it is a wonderful tool for rewriting.

Early last week, Blizzard hosted a Legion preview event to give press and integral community members a chance to talk in small groups to members of the World of Warcraft development team. Given it began at 10:30 the morning after the Warcraft: The Beginning world premiere, all were a bit bleary-eyed. That's not to say, however, that there weren't some great nuggets of information to be had.
The day began with WoW Game Director Tom Chilton taking the floor to recap some of the biggest features and changes coming to World of Warcraft with Legion's launch in September. For those who may never have seen the full, and rather impressive list, here's a quick rundown:
- New Location - Broken Shore
- Demon Invasions
- New zones - Aszuna, Stormheim, Highmountain, Val'Sharah, Surimar, Dalaran
- New Class - Demon Hunter
- Artifact weapons
- New combat animations and soon new casting animations
- World Quests
- PvP Honor System
- Class halls
- Champion folllowers
- Dungeons - Arcway, Vault of the Wardens, Darkheart Thicket, Assault on Violet Hold, Neltharion's Lair, Black Rook Hold, Halls of Valor, Eye of Azshara, Maw of Souls
- Raids: Emerald Nightmare, The Nighthold
The story will take on some of the most iconic World of Warcraft lore and will bring some pretty significant changes to the overall game landscape.
One of the central stories that will be clarified and extended is that of Ilidan. "We want players to experience his story." said Chilton.
To so do, Blizzard will be releasing a new series of short videos to delve deeper into some of the stories being prepped for Legion. Called "Harbingers", the stories will follow the Illidan storyline up to the commencement of Legion. They will be of a similar art style to that found in the videos leading up to Warlords of Draenor. From what was revealed, the series will be four videos and is said to be ready to get rolling in the very near future.
We were lucky to get to view the first in the Harbinger series and, as expected, the story kicks off with Illidan as he and his Demon Hunters are ready to take it to the Burning Legion.
Some signature "Illidan-isms":
"You came to me with nothing left but rage. Now you see that there is no sacrifice to great if it means an end to the Burning Legion."
"They will stop at nothing to destroy our world and we will stop at nothing to save it. Now you ARE prepared."

Ancient Aliens: The Complete Seasons 1-6
There is likely no other series I've had a bigger love-hate relationship than "Ancient Aliens." What began as outright rage at History for duping myself and what I'd assume to be countless others with the original 90-minute "documentary" special to sheer gall of the network to grab random discs from existing season sets and repackage them in a "best-of" package, "Ancient Aliens," has sent my emotions on the gamut from anger, frustration, confusion and outright sheer joy. Now entering it's seventh season, History gathers the first six seasons into one concise, twenty three disc package, for reasons unknown (until I found out there was a seventh season currently airing, I thought the show had been cancelled), in the aptly titled, "Ancient Aliens: The Complete Seasons 1-6."
I've been fortunate enough to not receive a lot of hate mail as a reviewer for the nearly half decade I've been writing about everything from the biggest blockbuster to the most obscure, micro budget indie production. Maybe only third to my scathing dismissals of "Avatar" and "Prometheus," my indifference and often-outright mockery of "Ancient Aliens" has been the noted exception. So before I begin writing about "Ancient Aliens" for what I hope is the final time, let me provide some context: the unexplained and crypto zoology have been lifelong interests, stemming from my love of sensational series' such as "Arthur C. Clarke's Universe," "In Search Of," and "Unsolved Mysteries," and within the past year or so, "Ancient Aliens" has slowly begun to take its place in my personal pantheon of goofy, schlocky pseudoscience.
If there's one undeniable qualm I'm always going to have with "Ancient Aliens," is its blatant arrogance in presenting the admitted baseless claims made by Erich von Daniken as fact. One could go on at great lengths tearing apart the logical fallacies flying a mile a minute in the series debut season, which is most heavily tied to von Daniken's infamous "Chariot of the Gods" material. Half a decade ago when History first brought von Daniken back to the public eye, I cried foul over their misrepresentation of pseudoscience as legitimate theory; however having watched the network itself evolve and the outlandishness of the series, it's time to accept the fact that "Ancient Aliens" is nonsense and merely enjoy the ride.
The strengths of the series are without a doubt its sheer willingness to present the absurd with the most deadpan serious tone: from season two's exploration into extraterrestrial involvement with the Third Reich (Alien Nazis?!) to latter seasons connecting the legend of Bigfoot to extraterrestrial origins, viewers can always rely on the series to provide a sold 40-odd minutes of sheer entertainment. Playing the more comedic foil to the tone of the series is Giorgio Tsoukalos, the show's producer. Tsoukalos, a former bodybuilding promoter turned director of Erich von Daniken's Center for Ancient Astronaut Research, initially pops up as a talking head. It's not long before Tsoukalos' natural charisma makes him the real breakout star of the series, offering up colorful catchphrases such as "Is it possible? I say yes, it is" and playing host to one of the most outlandish hairstyles in television history.
With Tsoukalos' colorful proclamations of aliens being responsible for nearly every unexplained event or advancement in civilization summarized in Internet history as a meme, it really is impossible to take "Ancient Aliens" seriously in any shape or form. For at least the first four seasons, it offers up healthy doses of outlandish claims and numerous leaps in logic. I often use the show as an example to my students as pseudoscience in modern pop culture and for that reason alone, I'll always owe a tiny bit of gratitude to the series. "Ancient Aliens" truly earns its place in the pantheon of the sensational pseudoscientific documentary; whereas "Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious Universe" approached things with a healthy dose of skepticism, and "In Search Of" held a consistently unbiased tone, "Ancient Aliens" plants itself as the ultimate extreme in shaky theories and baseless evidence presented as science fact; infinitely watchable for all the wrong reasons.
The Video
The 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is generally acceptable, with slightly warmer than expected colors; the picture itself is marred by minor compression artifacts and a wholly average at best level of detail. It's about what one should expect from a cheaply made, weekly TV production in the "documentary" category.
The Audio
The Dolby Digital English 2.0 audio is a very clear mix that appropriately fits the nature of the program.
The Extras
Final Thoughts
While the latter two seasons do highlight a show running on creative fumes, the first four seasons of "Ancient Aliens" make this set worth owning for the viewer fascinated with the unknown and entertained by pseudoscientific nonsense presented in a tone so serious, it's impossible to not watch without a giant smile. I predict it will be a great length of time, before we get anything like "Ancient Aliens" on TV again. Recommended.

In what has become a seasonal ritual at this point, Chelsea thoroughly outplayed Arsenal only to drop points due to a collection of freak incidences. The team had been on a scarcely believable run of big-game results of late, so it was inevitable that we would drop points one game. The fact the reality check arrived during a derby is not great but on the flip side, it could have happened during a far more serious game.
Chelsea did not create many big chances — the two that were created came from an opposition error and as part of a desperate push in the 90th minute — but we also conceded virtually nothing outside one moment. While it looked like the team did not care, the reality is that most of our players are tired after a hectic run. A game where we let our guard down was inevitable, really.
Match statistics
Statistics from fbref and understat.
Individual ratings
Thomas Tuchel
Arguably had his worst game as a Chelsea manager, something that he admitted to in the post-game interview. While the starting lineup was what most people expected, his in-game changes effectively nullified Chelsea's chances of mounting a comeback. Gilmour's substitution had a massive negative effect on the team's ball-progression, especially since Mount had an off-day.
Just as Chelsea started showing some life in the second-half, Giroud's introduction sucked out the momentum and the team did not create anything of note except for the desperate last-minute heave mentioned above. Tuchel had a pretty bad night but he has also plenty of credit in the bank for this to be merely a blip.
Kepa Arizzabalaga — GK
Did really well to prevent an own-goal, albeit somewhat illegally. (Ed.note: it would've been an indirect free kick, but due to a quirk in the rules, not a red card for a denial of a goal-scoring opportunity.) He could have perhaps stayed on his line against Aubameyang but it is hard to criticize during a situation evolving as fast as that one. The biggest difference between him and Mendy was in terms of passing — Kepa held onto the ball for too long and was not as quick as Mendy.
Stats of note
3 passes over 40 yards completed (5 attempted)
3 defensive actions outside the box
Reece James — RWB
Had an OK performance without tipping the needle in either direction. His poor final ball has been a concern for quite a few weeks now and this game was no different.
Stats of note
3 key passes - Joint 1st
3 passes into penalty box - Joint 1st
3 successful dribbles (3 attempted) - Joint 1st
2 tackles - 2nd
César Azpilicueta — RCB
Fulfilled his defensive duties competently and did well to move the ball upfield.
Stats of note
3 tackles - 1st
2 interceptions - Joint 1st
4 carries into final third - 2nd
9 passes into final third - Joint 2nd
4 progressive passes - Joint 2nd
3 clearances - 3rd
Thiago Silva — CB
Ensured Arsenal could not generate any dangerous actions from transitions. His passing was awesome for most of the game too. Neither Thiago nor Azpi deserve low ratings — the defeat was not really their fault.
Stats of note
10 passes into final third - 1st
18 loose-ball recoveries - 1st
5 clearances - 2nd
4 aerial duels won (5 contested) - 2nd
11 progressive carries - Joint 2nd
Kurt Zouma — LCB
He put Jorginho under unnecessary pressure and should shoulder a part of the blame for the goal. Arsenal let him have the ball as a ploy to induce mistakes and while he held his own besides one moment, the difference between him and Rüdiger is palpable.
Stats of note
4 shots - 1st
6 clearances - 1st
5 aerial duels won (6 contested) - 1st
13 progressive carries - Joint 1st
5 carries into final third - Joint 1st
10 loose-ball recoveries - 2nd
4 shot-creating actions - Joint 2nd
9 passes into final third - Joint 2nd
Ben Chilwell — LWB
Like Reece, he had an okay display at best. Arsenal did phenomenally well to ensure both our wing-backs got the ball in safe locations.
Stats of note
2 interceptions - Joint 1st
2 successful dribbles (2 attempted) - Joint 2nd
14 pressures - 3rd
Billy Gilmour — RCM
Was the sole shining light in the first half among midfielders and attackers. It was bizarre to see him taken off, whatever the reasons may be. While it is not his best role, Gilmour has shown that he is capable of sitting deep.
While he might not rank in the top 3 for any stat, his early substitution has a part to play in that — he was on track for finishing in the top 3 for both progressive passes and passes into the final third, at the very least.
Stats of note
Jorginho — LCM
Arsenal's goal could have been avoided had Jorginho lifted his head and assessed his options. However, this was an one-in-a-thousand occurrence and shouldn't be held against him. What should be held against him was his poor passing all night. One instance in the first-half where he was five yards away from Reece James and scooped a pass to his chest summed his game up.
Stats of note
6 progressive passes - 1st
19 pressures - 1st
2 key passes - Joint 2nd
2 successful dribbles (2 attempted) - Joint 2nd
9 loose-ball recoveries - 3rd
Mason Mount — R-AM/W
Mount could have done better once he moved deeper. He was well short of his usual passing standards and his set piece delivery was poor too, although his ball-carrying was close to its normal levels. Like Tuchel, there's enough reason to be optimistic that this was a one-off and not something serious.
Stats of note
12 touches in the penalty box - 1st
3 key passes - Joint 1st
13 progressive carries - Joint 1st
5 carries into final third - Joint 1st
3 carries into penalty box - Joint 1st
17 pressures - 2nd
6 progressive passes received - 2nd
3 shots - Joint 2nd
4 shot-creating actions - Joint 2nd
4 progressive passes - Joint 2nd
Kai Havertz — CF
Created a chance out of thin air but failed to finish it. He got into some dangerous locations in the box before being pushed off the ball or fouled, depending on how you view it. Havertz, like Mount, needs to learn how to manufacture fouls. We have improved dramatically in terms of gamesmanship but there is still a lot to learn.
Stats of note
5 shot-creating actions - 1st
3 successful dribbles (4 attempted) - Joint 1st
3 carries into penalty box - Joint 1st
3 shots - Joint 2nd
9 touches in the penalty box - Joint 2nd
5 progressive passes received - 3rd
3 aerial duels won (3 contested) - 3rd
Christian Pulisic — L-AM/W
The team failed to get him the ball close to the box consistently, where he is in his element. As a result he was drawn out of his comfort zone and was forced to receive the ball deep, leading to multiple turnovers and a frustrating night.
Stats of note
10 progressive passes received - 1st
3 passes into penalty box - Joint 1st
2 carries into penalty box - 2nd
3 shots - Joint 2nd
2 key passes - Joint 2nd
9 touches in the penalty box - Joint 2nd
2 successful dribbles (4 attempted) - Joint 2nd
11 progressive carries - Joint 2nd
Callum Hudson-Odoi (45th minute) — Had a torrid outing, making mistakes in almost every facet of his game. Young players are allowed to be inconsistent but this was an unacceptably bad display.
Stats of note
2 key passes - Joint 2nd
Olivier Giroud (65th minute) — Gave Hudson-Odoi a run for his money in terms of being the worst substitute. It is hard to see what he offers at this point.
Stats of note
3 shots - Joint 2nd
2 successful dribbles (2 attempted) - Joint 2nd
Hakim Ziyech (78th minute) — Besides one cross to Silva, he did nothing of note.
Stats of note
3 passes into penalty box - Joint 1st
4 progressive passes - Joint 2nd

[ES] El Crimen Perfecto
An impending much-sought-after promotion at Yeyo's shopping mall in Madrid has created quite a stir, as a new floor supervisor needs to be chosen between Don Antonio, the helpful, experienced, yet, stern and gloomy head of the men's department and Rafael, the seductive, highly skilled salesman and head of the women's department. Without a doubt, competition is hard when there's only room for one, however, when the suave and sophisticated Rafael loses out to his inelegant arch nemesis, he will find himself in a very tight spot when during an argument, he will accidentally kill Don Antonio. Obviously, with him as a prime suspect, handsome Rafael is in dire straits and desperate as he is, he will inevitably accept help from Lourdes, the department's ugly duckling who unfortunately knows all about his misfortune, nevertheless, not without a cost.

Donald Trump's Monday morning perfectly encapsulates his entire presidency
Updated 11:25 AM ET, Mon December 4, 2017
(CNN) – President Donald Trump did two big things on Monday morning before jetting off to Utah to announce he is shrinking two national monuments.
1. He tweeted a full-scale endorsement of Roy Moore's Senate campaign in Alabama. "Democrats refusal to give even one vote for massive Tax Cuts is why we need Republican Roy Moore to win in Alabama," wrote Trump of the embattled Republican who faces a series of accusations from women that he pursued relationships with them when he was in his early 30 and they were teenagers. "We need his vote on stopping crime, illegal immigration, Border Wall, Military, Pro Life, V.A., Judges 2nd Amendment and more. No to Jones, a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet!"
2. He offered sympathy for his former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty last Friday to lying to the FBI about his conversations with then-Russian Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak.
"I feel badly for General Flynn," Trump told reporters before boarding Marine One. "I feel very badly. He's led a very strong life and I feel very badly."
For any other president — literally any other one — doing one of those things would be considered so politically and legally risky that they wouldn't even talk about it much less actually say it in public.
For Trump, his moves on Moore and Flynn are standard operating procedure — illustrations of how his presidency is a sort of bizarro version of every other presidency that has come before it.
Think of it this way: Remember that "Seinfeld" episode where George decides to do the opposite of every natural instinct he has? He tells a woman he is bald, unemployed and lives with his parents — and she is suddenly interested in him. He shouts at someone making noise at the movies and is applauded for it. He rejects her invite up to her apartment and she is intrigued. You get the idea.
(Sidenote for Millennials: "Seinfeld" was an observational comedy show in the 1990s starring the"Comedians in Cars getting Coffee" guy.)
Trump's Monday morning is a telling reminder that the driving force of his presidency is to simply do the opposite — of what past presidents would have done in similar situations, of what political conventional wisdom suggests and of what politeness dictates.
White supremacist violence? Blame both sides! Attacked by a Gold Star family? Hit back! Not fully supported by someone in your party? Attack them! Facing allegations of sexual assault from multiple women? Deny it and call them all liars!
That desire to do the opposite — and, in so doing, to stick a finger in the eye of the political establishment — was an instinct Trump had before he ran for president. But it was wholly affirmed by Trump's candidacy — in which he was first laughed at, then feared and now accepted. He did the opposite at every turn of the campaign and he won. It was proof positive for Trump that any political person who said "the right thing to do here is …" was wrong.
Which brings us to Monday morning.
As I noted last week, Moore is — by profile and demeanor — Trump's kind of politician. Moore is hated by the political establishment. He's counted out. He's presumed guilty of the allegations against him. And yet, Moore persists. He refuses to bow down to the gods of political correctness. He fights.
Those traits — coupled with the fact that Moore now looks like he may win — is plenty for Trump to endorse him. And, of course Trump knows that his endorsement of Moore — coming hard on the heels of a decision to schedule a campaign rally in nearby Pensacola on Friday — will make his critics (Republicans and Democrats) crazy. It's part and parcel of why he's doing it.
On Flynn, who was so loyal to Trump, sure, he did a bad thing by lying to the FBI. But Trump views the punishment for Flynn as over the top — and the product of an out-of-control FBI/special prosecutor who is pursuing a "witch hunt" on Russia.
Flynn, then, is not only a Trump guy but also a symbol, to Trump, of how he is being unfairly persecuted by the nameless and faceless bureaucrats who never wanted him to be president anyway.
Remember that everything — absolutely everything — that Trump says or does is filtered through the lens of Trump. His first– and maybe only — calculation is whether something is good or bad for him. Moore's plight reminds Trump of his own. So he endorses the Alabama Republican. Flynn is an example of how Trump himself has been treated unfairly and, therefore, is worthy of pity and sympathy.
Trump — by his own admission — sees himself as a counter-puncher. He sees what people do and then he strikes back by doing the opposite. He is, by nature, a reactive force — someone defined by opposition to things rather than support for them.
Viewed that way, Trump's endorsement of Moore and his praise for Flynn make total and complete sense. Up is down. Down is up. "C-A-T" spells "dog."

While Samuel Taylor Coleridge was walking with his friends William and Dorothy Wordsworth they discussed George Shelvocke's 1726 narrative "A Voyage Round The World by Way of the Great South Sea," an account of his 1719-1722 privateering expedition against the Spanish and his shipwreck on Más a Tierra ("Closer to Land")(modern Robinson Crusoe Island off the coast of Chile, where Alexander Selkirk had been marooned from 1704-1709 -- the inspiration for Daniel Defoe's 1719 novels The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner" and its sequel "The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe; Being the Second and Last Part of His Life, And of the Strange Surprizing Accounts of his Travels Round three Parts of the Globe"). It included an account of the slaying of a black albatross by his 2nd-in-command. William Wordsworth suggested that Coleridge should write a poem about "spectral persecution" by "the tutelary spirits" as a consequence of "some crime," such as the needless slaying of the albatross. By the time the trio finished their walk, the poem had taken shape in Coleridge's ind, and he wrote "The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere" in 1797-98. It was included in the seminal "Lyrical Ballads, with a Few Other Poems" (1798) by Wordsworth and Coleridge. In the course of the poem the assassin and the crew were mercilessly punished for his deed until he achieved an ecological epiphany. The mariner's last words were:
He prayeth well, who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast.
He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.
Though Wordsworth quibbled about some aspects of the poem, such as "the old words and the strangeness" of the narrative and "that the imagery is somewhat too laboriously accumulated," and suggested that it be replaced by "some little things which would be more likely to suit the common taste" if a 2nd edition were published, he nevertheless included it in the 2nd edition despite Coleridge's own objections, claiming that it contained "many delicate touches of passion, and indeed the passion is every where true to nature, a great number of the stanzas present beautiful images, and are expressed with unusual felicity of language; and the versification, though the metre is itself unfit for long poems, is harmonious and artfully varied, exhibiting the utmost powers of that metre, and every variety of which it is capable. It therefore appeared to me that these several merits (the first of which, namely that of the passion, is of the highest kind) gave to the Poem a value which is not often possessed by better Poems."

Post Election Violence in 2018
The post-election violence occurred in Harare on the 1st of August 2018. Rioting crowds alleged to be aligned to the MDC Alliance clashed with the Zimbabwe National Army and the Zimbabwe Republic Police. The security forces opened fire with guns, water cannons and tear gas, and protesters burned cars and threw rocks as helicopters hovered above Harare. The riots claimed three lives according to the media.
Alleged Causes
Zanu-PF parliamentary Victory
Violence swept through central Harare after an official announcement that the ruling ZANU-PF party had won most of the seats in Parliament, an outcome that enraged opposition supporters who believed they had been cheated of victory.
ZEC's alleged delays
It was alleged that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission's decision to delay announcing the results of the presidential race at least three days after the vote angered opposition supporters who accused ZEC of colluding with ZANU-PF to rig the election in favour of Emmerson Mnangagwa. The Alliance has lost dismally in the national assembly elections, where ZANU-PF garnered a two-thirds majority, but blames this on massive rigging.
MDC Alliance
The MDC Alliance was blamed for instigating the violence that led to its alleged supporters clashing with the security forces. Emmerson Mnangagwa laid the blame for the violence squarely on the Movement for Democratic Change Alliance leadership which he said should bear the cost of the damage caused.[1]
It was alleged that Tendai Biti and youth leader Happymore Chidziva warned that there would be havoc if Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa was not declared the winner of the presidential elections. Further allegations were that their statements threatened future violence and triggered the Result riots according to the police.[2]
Chamisa Claiming victory
The results of the presidential elections had not yet been announced but Chamisa had been claiming victory even before the elections.His claims were alleged to have created a tense atmosphere which sparked the rioting.
Tendai Biti's statements
Tendai Biti said that We're going to fight this after the Zimbabwe Election Commission (ZEC) announced a landslide victory for the ruling Zanu-PF.[3]
The fascists are trying to steal this election, but we won't accept it," said veteran opposition leader Biti, who is one of the co-leaders of the seven-party Movement for Democratic Change Alliance (MDC-Alliance) coalition which contested the presidential and parliamentary poll. "Our data shows we have won by 61%; Nelson Chamisa has won 61% of the votes. If you win by this much in the presidential elections – for instance in Masvingo (province) where Chamisa won overwhelmingly but hardly won any parliamentary seats – something is wrong. People don't vote for a presidential candidate of one party and not for the MPs of that party. So it's called cheating
A few days before the election, Biti had vowed to make Zimbabwe "ungovernable" if the MDC-Alliance lost. After the ZEC announced the alliance's overwhelming (official) defeat in the parliamentary poll Biti was asked what his party would do and he said :
The people are already making the country ungovernable. The people are already on the streets. They are marching spontaneously, without organisation. There are spontaneous riots. There is chaos in the town centre. Huge crowds are marching to ZEC, which pretends to be the electoral body. And the police are on the warpath. They are fighting the people "The fight is just beginning. It will get worse
Tendai Biti said there was a clear attempt by Zanu-PF to interfere "with the people's will. He warned the party not to plunge Zimbabwe into chaos
Emmerson Mnangagwa's response to the violence
Emmerson Mnangagwa appealed for peace and blamed the MDC Alliance for causing the riots that ended up with civilians losing their lives.H e urged the MDC Alliance to restrain its supporters.
Chamisa' Response
Chamisa issued a statement through his spokesperson and distanced himself as well as the Alliance from the rioting Mob, Dr Sibanda statements complemented Douglas Mwonzora's sentiments earlier that the MDC Alliance was not responsible for the rioting crowds.
European Union appeals for calm
The European Union has appealed for calm a day after deadly violence linked to Monday's elections that the EU says were marred by "shortcomings.[4]
Obert Mpofu's statement
Home Affairs Minister Obert Mpofu confirmed several violent incidents after the country's historic elections. Mpofu claimed MDC supporters were behind many of the attacks, in full view of party leader, Nelson Chamisa. He said that The government was to lodge a complaint with the Law Society of Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe's police commissioner said that the military would remain on standby, in case of violence flares up again.[5]
Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission statement
In a statement, the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission (ZHRC) condemned the use of live ammunition and excessive force on unarmed protesting citizens by the army following protests by MDC Alliance supporters.
ZHRC also condemned hooliganism and vandalism by the protesters. The Commission also urged the law enforcement agencies to manage protests in a manner that does not result in the loss of life.
The Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission (ZHRC/Commission) joins the nation and other peace-loving Zimbabweans in condemning, in the strongest sense, the use of live ammunition and excessive force on unarmed protesting citizens by the army on 1 August 2018. Regrettably, we understand there was unnecessary loss of lives and property.
Whilst the Commission does not in any way support violence, hooliganism and vandalism by the protesters, constitutionally there are better ways of managing protests without infringing on the citizens' right to life, which must be jealously guarded by all State institutions at all times. The ZHRC urges that the army be only deployed when necessary for the maintenance of law and order and in strict compliance with the relevant legal provisions and internationally accepted standards including restrictions on the use of live ammunition against protesters.
Further, the Commission calls upon political leaders and related stakeholders to exercise restraint and call upon their followers to respect peace and avoid violating the rights of others.
The Commission wishes to express its sincere condolences to the families of the deceased and equally wishes the injured a speedy recovery.
Commonwealth condemnation
The Commonwealth Observer Group has condemned the violence by the opposition supporters who were protesting against alleged rigging by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) on Wednesday. The group also denounced the excessive use of force by the Zimbabwe Defence Forces who used live bullets on the demonstrators. Three people are confirmed to have died after being gunned down. Delivering the Commonwealth Observer Group's Preliminary Statement on Monday's harmonised elections. Chairperson of the Commonwealth Observer Group and former president of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama said,
Let me start by expressing the Commonwealth Observer Group's profound sadness at the outbreak of violence by supporters of the opposition and the excessive use of force by the security services in the last 24 hours. Tragically, this has resulted in a number of fatalities and injuries. We extend our sympathies to the families and loved ones of all those affected by these deeply troubling incidents. We categorically denounce the excessive use of force against unarmed civilians and wish to urge all parties to exercise restraint.….All parties must exercise patience and restraint while we await the announcement of full results. We urge the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission to expedite the announcement of all election results, without further delay. Grievances must be pursued through due process, with the use of all available conflict resolution mechanisms.
SABC coverage of the riots
According to media reports the random shots fired by the army claimed 3 lives.
Gavin Charles
One of the three people who was gunned down after the army was deployed to handle opposition protesters, was identified as Gavin Charles.
According to his relative, William Chui, Gavin was not involved in the protests but was unfortunate to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Writing on his Facebook page, Chui said,
Gavin Charles shot and killed Aug 1, 2018.
His offence?
Walking in Harare CBD while a demonstration was taking place and failing to get away fast enough before heartless soldiers could randomly shot and get him with a bullet.

Nest Doorbell and new Nest Cams official: More style, storage and smarts
Nest has launched a quartet of new smart home products, with a new Nest Cam, Nest Doorbell, Nest Cam wired, and Nest Cam with Floodlight bringing revamped styling and more onboard-smarts. The redesigned range of home security devices include an uptick in onboard machine learning, allowing for data to be processed on-device rather than in the cloud.
That's a double-advantage, the Google-owned company points out. On the one hand, it means more security: all footage, for example, is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and things like motion and person triggers are processed locally. At the same time, it also means that Nest can offer more advanced features – such as smarter notifications – without requiring a Nest Aware subscription.
The new platform uses machine learning that runs on twice the number of pixels at double the frame rate as the old models. It can, for example, distinguish multiple objects at the same time, and tell the difference between things like moving and stationary vehicles, people and animals, packages, and more. It can ignore things like branches waving in the wind, so that the motion alerts – and recordings – you get are more useful.
Those notifications lead you to the Google Home app, where Nest is trying to shift users. Rather than in the Nest app, that's where you'll now find the Sightline 2.0 interface, the Home Feed with curated priority events – like package deliveries – together with a whole home history. There's filtering, too, by type of event and more, along with activity zones which can be set up to only trigger alerts and recordings when movement and more is within those portions of the scene. As before, you get more functionality if you sign up to a Nest Aware or Nest Aware Plus subscription.
All four of the new models support features like HDR, which Nest says has been tuned here for sharper details across a range of environments. More useful still, there's now support for recording up to an hour of local video. That means, even if your internet connection is down, the cameras will still capture footage. Nest says the offline storage is enough for about a week's worth of events based on typical use, and they all get uploaded when the internet connection returns.
As for power, half of the new Nest models can be battery powered. There's now a tab in the Google Home app, which shows the power remaining not only as a percentage but in days/weeks/months, making it easier to understand just how much charge is left. There are options to optimize battery life and limit notifications to certain activity zones, too, along with battery usage profile that balance power against performance. The Google Home app pings out notifications when it's time to recharge, and can switch to an automatic battery saver mode when levels get low to coax out longer runtimes.
Nest Doorbell
Nest's new Doorbell is a sleeker, more easily-installed option than the outgoing model. Battery operate now, though with the option for a wired install if you have preexisting cabling, it's more readily positioned on a door frame. Nest says the rechargeable battery is good for up to around two and a half months of typical use, based on around 13-16 events per day.
Out of the box, you'll get four types of smart alerts: package, person, animal, and vehicle. There are also three hours of event history, and activity zones support. With a Nest Aware subscription you get Familiar Face Detection and 30 days of event history. The HDR camera supports a 6x zoom and has a taller 3:4 field of view to see things like packages that are close on the doorstep.
It'll integrate with an existing chime, as well as ringing on your Nest speakers and smart displays. There are four colors – Snow, Ivy, Linen, and Ash – and Nest includes free theft replacement should someone other than the homeowner take advantage of the ease of removable form-factor. It's priced at $179.99, and will go on sale August 24.
Nest Cam (battery)
The new Nest Cam is designed to work either outdoors or indoors, and run on either battery or wired power. Even the stand is optional ($29.99), with the camera designed for wall-mounting too, and Nest has an optional solar panel for even more convenience in positioning. The whole thing is weatherproof – Nest says its magnetic mount withstood a category 2 wind – and has up to three months of battery life based on around 9-12 recorded events per day.
Out of the box there are three types of alert – person, vehicle, and animal – and Activity Zones, along with three hours of event video history. For more 1080p HDR recording you'll need a Nest Aware subscription.
Like the Nest Doorbell, it's priced at $179.99; a 16 foot weatherproof cable is $34.99, or a 33 cable for $39.99. Nest offers an anti-theft mount ($14.99), too, with free theft replacement should it still be stolen. It'll go on sale August 24.
Nest Cam (wired)
Nest's first camera under $100, the Nest Cam (wired) is intended for indoor use only, and lacks the weatherproof rating of its siblings. It's priced at $99.99, and comes in four colors, one with a real wooden base.
The cable is designed to snake down through the base to keep things sleek, and unlike the Nest Cam it's wired-only. It'll go on sale later in 2021.
Nest Cam with Floodlight
Similar to the Nest Cam, in that it's designed to be positioned outside, though reliant on wired connections like the Nest Cam Indoor, the Nest Cam with Floodlight is Nest's first camera to include an LED security light. It can trigger those lights whenever the Nest Cam sees activity, based on the same criteria and on-device processing as are used for smart notifications.
That should mean fewer times when the lights turn on just because a tree moved in the wind, or a car drove past, while still adding security should someone walk down your driveway at night. It's priced at $279.99, and Nest says it's "coming soon."

Something unusual happened a day or two ago; one of our back relief from discomfort customers asked me an inquiry. Since my agony has gone do I need to proceed with the program? A basic answer was no there are a couple of conditions with the answer however. You can stop in the event that you need the torment to return again soon, stop now and leave the reasons for your agony to remain and with time gradually increment.
Surrender now and the expense of back relief from discomfort will twofold if not triple. Why? Agony is a sign that the muscle and joint irregular characteristics have expanded to where your body says that is the last straw. When your spine has arrived at its limit the agony sign will happen.
Agony is the exact opposite thing to show up and the main thing to vanish.
Allow me to state it another way… Would you quit checking for flames when an alarm is killed? On the off chance that you state indeed, at that point in the event that I eliminate all the alarms, does that mean there would not ever be a fire again? Back relief from discomfort is actually equivalent to extinguishing fires. You need to eliminate every single reason in the event that you hope to become and remain torment free.
Eliminate a couple and sure agony will ease, you will feel extraordinary again and go on with your life. At that point one day soon, you will encounter torment once more. You will again eliminate the agony, yet this time it might take somewhat more to do as such However, it facilitates and afterward you by and by make the most of your life.
At that point it very well might be half a month, months or even years and agony will green malay kratom. This time it is more awful, it might never ease absolutely, you get some x-beams or outputs and they state take a gander at all the degeneration or those circle have truly worn out.
What does back help with discomfort COST now?
It costs more cash, more torment and brings down the estimation of your life. This article is not intended to alarm you in spite of the fact that I trust it alarms you right into it.
However, this is the most well-known course of back agony. Regardless of whether you look for help from specialists this is as yet the most well-known result except if you get things done to eliminate all the causes.
Dependable back relief from discomfort expects you to eliminate each cause, not only a couple. However, how would you know whether they are totally gone. This is the greatest misstep made in back relief from discomfort… Not knowing where the causes are. Except if you can survey and reevaluate your spine, you would not ever realize the causes have gone. You will see torment facilitating and you may figure the causes should have all vanished. Be that as it may, do you truly know without a doubt?
Reevaluate your spine utilizing the methods you were given. On the off chance that you can see that the muscles and joint are in equilibrium, at that point sure, stop the restorative methods. Btu does not stop there.

With a declining population and a shortage of women in Kerry, is there a need for a matchmaker?
Bill O'Herlihy travels to Dún Chaoin, County Kerry to find out more about rural population decline, the lack of women, and the future of matchmaking.
In Dún Chaoin guesthouse owner Kruger Kavanagh is opposed to the idea of matchmaking for a number of reasons. He points out that Irish women do not want to stay in rural Ireland and would rather head to London or New York. When these women move to the cities, he says that they will meet their match and settle down without the help of any matchmaker.
Kruger Kavanagh thinks the population decline in rural areas is irreversible. People have to work to make a living and there is no work in rural Ireland.
The Irish girls don't want to stay you understand on the farm. They want to either head for Piccadilly Circus or for Broadway and to tell the honest personal truth I don't blame them.
This episode of 'Newsbeat' was broadcast on 3 May 1968. The reporter is Bill O'Herlihy.

April 1-7 Marks 14th Annual Global Asbestos Awareness Week
Mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases may feel like a highly personal experience, but they represent a problem that affects people all around the world.
As a result, international organizations have joined hands and linked their efforts to raise awareness of the dangers of asbestos exposure.
Although this is a 365-day a year mission, the groups' actions are highlighted each year on Global Asbestos Awareness Week, marked this year between April 1 and April 7th.
While the U.S. sees approximately 3,500 mesothelioma diagnoses each year and 12,000 to 15,000 asbestos-related deaths per year overall, nearly 200,000 people die from asbestos-related diseases each year around the world.
The carcinogenic material has been used for a variety of purposes since the days of Ancient Greece, but truly took hold during the Industrial Revolution. Though most industrialized nations cut back on its use dramatically after its hazards were proven and publicized, it continues to be used in many developing nations.
Educating the world about asbestos' dangers are a big part of the Global Asbestos Awareness Week observation, which is focusing on four explicit topics:
- Banning the mining, manufacturing , and use of asbestos
- Preventing exposure to asbestos
- Improving the enforcement of and compliance with existing asbestos laws and regulations
- Strengthening the partnerships between international asbestos awareness agencies
One of the highlights of the international observance has been the airing of a thirty-second public service announcement video called "Asbestos: The Killer You Can't See."
The animated message is being broadcast in six languages, and tells the story of a child losing her father to an asbestos-related disease.
Speaking of this year's observation, head of the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) Linda Reinstein said, "The simple truth is asbestos kills and prevention remains the only cure. Asbestos-caused diseases like mesothelioma can take years, even decades, to kill, but the hidden risk of asbestos fibers only takes a few heartbeats to tell."
If you or someone you love has been affected by mesothelioma or any other asbestos-related disease, the Patient Advocates at Mesothelioma.net can give you the information you need to address it head on. Call us today at 1-800-692-8608.

Barcelona's ten districts are Ciutat Vella (Old Town), L'Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc, Les Corts, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Gracia, Horta-Guinardo, Nou Barris, Sant Andreu, and Sant Marti. At the same time, Barcelona is only one twenty-fifth the size of Moscow by square km. Therefore, if you travel from the outskirts of the city right to the center by public transport (for example, to Plaça de Catalunya) it won't take more than 40 minutes.
Ciutat Vella: for aficionados of history, culture and partying
Ciutat Vella, or Old Town has the highest concentration of museums and historical sights of all districts. Some of its neighborhoods ring a bell with anybody who has read at least a little about the city: El Gòtic, La Barceloneta, El Raval, and Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and la Ribera.
The main pedestrian street La Rambla, the Gothic quarter, Port, the Church of Santa Maria del Mar and the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia are the main tourist sights of the city and are all to be found in this district. The Old Town has plenty of restaurants to cater for every taste, with both local and more exotic cuisine. Its streets are full of shops with world-famous brands, as well as products from Catalan designers and artisans. As Christmas approaches a fete is set up on the square in front of the cathedral.
For historical reasons, the Old Town is also the epicenter of the city's nightlife. Here it really is at its most wild! Passeig Marítim street sports the best clubs: Opium, Shôko, and CDLC. Here you can also find bars and discos to match any taste: from simple beer spots to trendy cocktail bars, hip hop, and electro.
The Gothic quarter is famous for the Jamboree jazz club, as well as Marula Café, which is a staple for groove fans. If hookah is your thing, then head for La Concha — a bar covered in posters with the famous Spanish actress Sara Montiel. For electro music, you can hang out at Moog in El Raval neighborhood, or if you're into rock and roll then make sure to stick your head into Magic Club.
At some clubs, each day has a special music style: for example, Mondays might be salsa, with pop on Tuesdays and reggaeton on Wednesdays. If bars are more to your taste, then you can find quite a few in the neighborhood of Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera: theater bar El Bar del Antic Teatre, indie pub Ale&Hop, La Lola, where one of the best flamenco concerts in Barcelona is organized, or, if you prefer sitting in a quieter atmosphere, El Nus.
If you're here in a large group and plan on partying until the morning then this is the best place to stay, as if you stay in a residential neighborhood you may encounter the wrath of the locals who can't sleep due to your noise. They may call the police and would be perfectly within their rights to do so.
The downside to living in the Old Town includes the limited number of supermarkets, as well as the poor level of safety — especially in El Raval neighborhood. If you are adamant that you want to stay in the Old Town but are looking for a more or less quiet spot then the most comfortable option is El Born neighborhood.
La Barceloneta: for those who want to be closer to the sea
If you are here to sunbathe on the beach and enjoy the sea, then it's best to stay in the neighborhood of La Barceloneta. It's just a stone's throw not only from the beach but also from Parc de la Ciutadella and the Gothic quarter. It's also a great place if you're into sport: the waterfront is equipped with exercise machines and volleyball courts, while joggers all head for Parc de la Ciutadella.
It takes half an hour to walk from La Barceloneta to Plaça de Catalunya. This neighborhood has an active nightlife, so if you're traveling with kids or prefer a quieter holiday then you'll have to sacrifice proximity to the sea.
L'Eixample: if you love peace and quiet
If you just came for a quiet break but don't want to wander too far from the main sights then it's best to stay in the district of L'Eixample. L'Eixample is rightfully considered one of the prettiest neighborhoods of Barcelona. And not only because this is where La Sagrada Familia and the Gaudi House-Museum are located, but also because the district itself is constructed with surprising harmony.
L'Eixample was the first district to be combined with Barcelona after the walls of the Old Town were destroyed. If you gain a bird's eye view, then it resembles honeycomb, and in line with the design of the engineer Ildefons Cerda, it is arranged as a garden-city. All of its apartment blocks are built in modernist style. It's partially due to L'Eixample that Barcelona may be considered an example of modernist aesthetics. Unlike the Old Town, L'Eixample is a residential district with schools and a large number of supermarkets and is much more densely built despite being near the center. It's also Heaven for lovers of fashion, as Paseo de Gracia is one of Barcelona's main shopping streets.
Gracia: for arty visitors
If you enjoy a long conversation with an interesting partner and prefer a more bohemian atmosphere, then Gracia is the place for you. It's a quiet neighborhood, even though it's the one mostly associated with young people. It's said of Gracia that here you live in the very center of Barcelona yet you have the feeling of having moved into a little town. This is a place for young designers, fans of alternative cultures and locals who want to open a small business of their own.
There are a lot of bars here playing music, and young people often stay out here until very late, but without the crazy partying seen at Ciutat Vella. Those seeking rock and roll or music from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s head for Bar Musical María, while live music is to be found at La Sonora de Gracia or Alfa Bar, and Latin rhythms at Gracia Latina.
Sants-Montjuïc: for those who can't sit still
If you prefer the quiet and comfort but don't want to stray too far from the center, then Sants-Montjuïc is your choice. It's considered one of the best districts in terms of the transport network. From Sants railway station you can travel to Sitges (around €4), Girona (around €15) or Tarragona (around €10), while from Plaça d'Espanya station you can reach Montserrat monastery.
Go and visit Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (€12), take a bus ride to Montjuïc castle (€5), and near Poble Sec subway station turn into Blai Street, which is famous for its bars and restaurants. Be sure to order pintxos — these are Basque snacks similar to canapes: a slice of bread with cheese, sausage or some other filling stuck on a toothpick. You can also order any drink that looks appetizing and grab a selection of pintxos, but take note of the toothpicks' colors. Plain, red and yellow – each signifies a different price: €1, €1.50 or €2, respectively. When the time comes to bill you the waiter simply counts the toothpicks.
There are a lot of these bars, including Blai Tonight, Blai 9, Pincho J and L'Atelier de Blai.
Les Corts and Sarrià-Sant Gervasi: for those who want to live like the locals
If you're not bothered about living right by the main sights and prefer to immerse yourself in the life of ordinary Barcelona inhabitants, then you can choose accommodation in Les Corts, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Horta-Guinardo, Nou Barris, Sant Andreu or Sant Marti.Les Corts is one of the most elegant, spacious and rich districts of Barcelona. Here there are a number of modest-sized gardens, park squares as well as pretty town squares, such as Parque Pedralbes, Jardines de la Maternidad, and Plaza Comas, where it is pleasant to take breakfast or drink an aperitif prior to dinner — this is why Barcelonians like it so much.
From Les Corts, it's easiest of all to reach the mountain range of Collserola (Reina Elisenda station) — a typical Mediterranean forest with pines, oaks and rich fauna extending over more than eight hectares. Collserola is often named the "lungs" of Barcelona. This district also houses the famous Camp Nou stadium — a must-see for football fans. An entry ticket starts at €25. While if you want to renew your wardrobe you can head for the big shopping centers La Illa, Corte Inglés and Pedralbes Center.
Sarrià-Sant Gervasi is considered the most comfortable district for living in. The locals believe this neighborhood to be peaceful, safe and family-friendly. That said, it's the most expensive neighborhood of Barcelona and, probably, the one worst connected to the rest of the city by public transport. This is where footballers, politicians and other famous people live. In the past, it was at Sarrià-Sant Gervasi that the rich bourgeoisie built their homes — many of the houses there are symbols of modernist architecture.
Although most of the district is taken up with ordinary houses, it also neighbors Tibidabo, a mountain which hosts the Expiatory Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (free entrance) and an amusement park loved by children. If you're traveling with children, be sure to visit CosmoCaixa, one of the best science museums in Europe (€5 per ticket). It's greatest merit is its maximum interactivity: you can touch everything and test gravity and inertia. The museum also contains a tropical forest and tactile zoo.
Where not to stay
Of the ten districts of Barcelona there is none that is a complete no-go. Nevertheless, certain places are best avoided. In the Old Town this is the El Raval neighborhood. It's considered very noisy and also dangerous at night, even though it's located at the very heart of Barcelona. Due to its poor reputation, it's much cheaper to rent accommodation here than in the other neighborhood of Ciutat Vella — so don't be tricked by the low prices.
In the Sant Andreu district, you should totally avoid the Trinitat Vella neighborhood and la Via Trajana street of the Bon Pastor neighborhood. This is also a risky place, especially when it gets dark. The towns neighboring this district are also viewed as dangerous, such as Badalona, La Mina, and Sant Adrià de Besòs.
Barcelona will shelter all travelers: those who have come to stroll through the museums, those planning to hang out in the bars, and those who wake up closer to nightfall and head for the dancefloor. Choose your own Barcelona.

The country is facing a very challenging slow growth situation, that is not constrained to this country alone. Retail have not been doing very well.
It is why the result of FCT (5.6% Dividend Yield) and CMT (5.2% Dividend Yield) always sheds like on the extent of the problem.
FCT released their results and they have raise their dividend versus 3rd quarter 2015.
It will be tricky to annualized FCT's 3rd Quarter Dividend per share and think that is the forecast dividend yield. Based on past history, their payouts are not even.
However, FCT's management look bent on keeping their DPU growth record, despite Northpoint's ongoing asset enhancement initiative (AEI)
Despite the defensiveness of the suburban malls, foot traffic have been trending down.
Despite that the rent renewals, from the passing rent 3 years ago (tenant lease usually 3 years) have been good except for Bedok Point. That is rather resilient.
They continue their trend of good overall positive revisions.
Despite the strong rental revision, occupancy for Changi City Point is down, attributed to ongoing fit out for one anchor tenant. I wonder how much space the anchor tenant take up.
FCT is currently supporting the dividend by way of accepting more management units. Management units have been one of the big levers to dilute shareholders earnings and keeping existing dividend payouts for many REITs.
At this dividend yield, valuations look rich based on historical comparison.
Whether it is rich by new normal, when the risk free rate is very very low, is another matter.
