Anglers are hot on the crappie trail as the water warms at Lake Sequoyah on the east edge of Fayetteville.
Mike McBride of Winslow follows the tasty panfish as they move from deep water in late winter into the shallows at springtime. Crappie were somewhere in between when McBride launched his aluminum boat at Lake Sequoyah in early March.
Surface water temperature was a chilly 45 degrees when the angler made his first casts at sunrise. "This lake is real shallow so it warms up fast," he said. Four hours and a fine mess of crappie later, the water temperature was bumping 50 degrees. A half dozen of those fish measured 14 to 15 inches long. Those are big crappie at any lake.
McBride used a one-sixteenth-ounce soft-plastic jig with a black body and silver tail to usher a parade of crappie into his livewell. A small foam bobber is set just above the jig so the lure dances about three feet beneath the surface.
Now and then he gives his rod tip a little pop to twitch the jig a bit. When a light breeze came up, ripples did the work bouncing the bobber while the jig jitterbugged down below.
Bites can be light. Sometimes a crappie pulled the orange float way under water. On other strikes, the bobber barely moved. The 52-year-old rarely missed a fish, educated by a lifetime of fishing at Lake Sequoyah.
He grew up a mile from the reservoir. When McBride was 12, his mom bought him a small boat and outboard. Back then Lake Sequoyah had boat stalls for rent and McBride was the youngest angler with a boat at the dock.
"She'd rather see me out on the lake than getting into some other trouble," McBride said.
Later in life, McBride ran the office at Lake Sequoyah for eight years and coached customers on how to catch crappie, along with largemouth bass, catfish and sunfish.
When crappie are deep in late winter, McBride fishes along the edge of the old White River channel on the west side of the lake. A one-lane vehicle bridge crosses the lake's center. What's left of the old White River bridge can be seen north of the vehicle bridge.
"If you draw a line from the west end of the one-lane bridge to the White River bridge, that's the river channel," he explained. "That's where the deepest water is, 25 to 30 feet. The rest of the lake is a big mud flat, one to seven feet deep."
That's where McBride fishes during spring. Good as the fishing was on this sunny March day, it should get even better as spawning time nears.
"When the water hits 54 to 58 degrees, that's when they really start biting," he said. Crappie move close to shore in the warming water.
When that happens depends on the weather. Chilly nights keep the water temperature down. Once the overnight low is 50 degrees or higher, Lake Sequoyah warms quickly.
Checking with McBride on Thursday, he said the crappie haven't move to the bank yet, "but they're starting to stage in the shallower water. I think, with warmer weather coming, they'll be on the bank in another week or so."
The crappie is king in McBride's boat, but they aren't the only fish in the pond. The best largemouth bass fishing is April through June, McBride said. Spinner baits and plastic worms at the top lures. Bluegill and redear sunfish bite well in May and June on crickets, worms or small jigs.
Some giant flathead catfish prowl the lake. Flatheads go for live bait, so small sunfish or big minnows are good to use.
"The crappie always bite first and everything else starts after that," McBride coached.
The statewide daily limit of 30 crappie of any size applies at Lake Sequoyah. That could change, said Mike Carver, who runs the office now at Lake Sequoyah.
A lot of anglers, McBride included, favor tighter regulations such as reducing the daily limit to 15 crappie, setting a 10-inch minimum length limit or both. That's similar to the crappie regulations at Beaver Lake. The daily limit is 15 and crappie must be 10 inches or longer to keep at Beaver.
For Lake Sequoyah visitors not into fishing, the waterway is a haven for canoe and kayak paddling. Birds and waterfowl are everywhere, especially during spring. Bright flowering aquatic plants dazzle paddlers on the upstream reaches of the lake.
Hiking trails meander through the 1,400 acres at Lake Sequoyah City Park. There's a trail for horseback riding.
Fishing in the morning and hiking in the afternoon makes for a fine day at this picturesque lake.
Visit Lake Sequoyah
To reach the lake from Fayetteville, drive east on Arkansas 16 toward Elkins. Turn left at the large sign for Lake Sequoyah at Lake Sequoyah Drive. Follow the road approximately 1.5 miles to the lake.
The city of Fayetteville purchased the property for Lake Sequoyah Park in 1958. Construction of the Lake Sequoyah dam started in 1960 as a water supply for the city. When Beaver Lake filled in the mid-1960s, the city began getting its water from the Beaver Water District, as it does today.

Indiana State star Cameron Henry is taking a path less traveled towards pro-level stock.
Unique players make college basketball special. There is nothing quite like a productive player who does so in an unorthodox manner.
During last week's Myrtle Beach Invitational, Indiana State dismantled Old Dominion 77-36 to set up in an intriguing matchup with Oklahoma in the tourney's semifinals.
Despite Oklahoma winning the game handily, Indiana State's Cameron Henry was the breakout star of the game with 25 points, eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocks. Let's learn more about Henry and his backstory.
—PODCAST: Hope & Rauf's Feast Week primer
—DPI: 1-500 player rankings | Game projections
—BRACKETOLOGY: Latest field of 68 projections
Henry's journey to Indiana State
Henry attended Chesterfield (Va.) L.C. Bird High. A late-bloomer by most accounts, the 6-6 guard was named first-team all-state and helped lead his team to a 5A state championship as a senior.
It took Henry a while to figure out his own playing style. It also took him some time to become a qualifier, allowing D-2 Lincoln Memorial University to sweep in late. Henry took the offer and redshirted his freshman season.
Henry's out-of-nowhere story has not been an overnight success. While at Lincoln Memorial, he led the Railsplitters to a 71-14 record and scored a robust 1,075 points in his three seasons. He also averaged 6.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.8 steals while shooting 39.2 percent from three.
"Cam was their best player but not their leading scorer," an opposing South Atlantic Conference coach said. "They played him 1-through-4. He was super skilled and mobile and very switchable."
Henry acts as the primary initiator on most of Indiana State's possessions. He joins the likes of David Roddy, Keegan Murray, and EJ Liddell as one of only 10 players in D-1 basketball this season to have a player efficiency rating over 25, more than 95 points scored, and usage percentage over 28.
Transitioning from D-2 to D-1
While it has only been six games, Henry's analytics have hardly changed. Last season, he averaged .966 points per possession on offense. Synergy rated Henry 'excellent' as a spot-up shooter. Synergy also graded him as 'very good' in iso situations, pick-and-roll ball handling, and shooting off screens.
During his three games at the Myrtle Beach Invitational, Henry averaged 17.3 points, nine rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 2.7 steals. He also shot 35.3 percent from three. According to Sports-Reference, only Evan Turner has produced similar numbers in a season since 1992-93.
Henry's offensive profile, including his on-ball ability in a 6-6/210-pound frame, is enough to catch the eye.
Henry's eye-popping defensive numbers
Last season, Henry allowed .798 points per possession, ranking in the 96th percentile in defending iso-situations on the ball.
Transitioning to the D-1 level, in six games, including matchups against Purdue, Oklahoma, New Mexico State, Henry carries a 92.1 defensive rating and a 3.2 defensive box plus/minus. He joins a who's who list of 12, including Paolo Banchero, Wendell Moore, Keegan Murray, Justin Bean, and Azuolas Tubelis, who have produced similar numbers and scored 15 or more points per game.
The entirety of Cameron Henry's game positions him in a special class of players. The two-way prowess of players who can defend the point of attack and knockdown triples is precisely what NBA front offices desire. Chesterfield, Va., to Lincoln Memorial to Indiana State is an atypical path. While Henry has a way to go, his next-level potential is in place.

Hey look at this! This came by way of Hobby Link Japan, a great site that has all sorts of amazing Japanese things including instant noodles! Thank you very much! Here's what they had to say about this unique variety on their website –
Eat like a sumo wrestler with this instant ramen take on the traditional hearty sumo stew, chanko! This one is made in collaboration with the famous Tagonoura Sumo Stable, so you know it's going to be good. This variety includes cabbage, carrots, chicken, mushrooms, sesame, and black pepper alongside classic ramen noodles, all in a simply but tasty salt broth.
Interesting – so sumo wrestlers are from 'stables.' Here's a little about this one from Wikipedia
The stable was established on 1 February 1989 by former yokozuna Takanosato Toshihide. The stable's first sekitori was Rikio in 1994. Four more, Wakanosato, Takanowaka, Takayasu and Kisenosato, have reached sekiwake rank, with Takayasu and Kisenosato going on to reach the ōzeki and yokozuna ranks respectively in 2017. It had a reputation for being a close, family-knit stable, as Naruto did not allow his wrestlers to go out and train at other stables (which is unusual in sumo) or socialize with wrestlers from different stables.[1]
Naruto died suddenly on 7 November 2011. The stable's current master, former maegashira Takanotsuru, changed to the Tagonoura toshiyori in December 2013 and renamed the stable accordingly.[2] Upon changing the stable name, the stable was also moved to the Ryōgoku area from Matsudo, Chiba. It has no connection to the defunct Tagonoura stable established by the late Kushimaumi. As of the January 2018 tournament it had 12 wrestlers. Five of them are new recruits who joined for the March 2017 tournament.
Alright – let's try this one out!

It was as if all his prejudices were confirmed in one . Magnus looked at the TV wide eyed and then accusingly at me as if to say " Cats! See I told you !"
I perhaps should explain that Magnus is my dog . A stray found in Northern Ireland then re-homed to us.
He originally came with the name "Magners" but we struggled with that for two reasons . First, it is my wife's favourite tipple and secondly hearing " a pint of Magner's please" repeated regularly, could have caused him performance anxieties when approaching his favourite tree . He prefers the " little but often" approach .
In fairness his favourite pee spot is the Thyme bush in our herb garden .( Mental note to self : there are times when dried herbs can do, rather than fresh ones …see above.)
Hence "Magnus" and an embarrassing explanation to one of my closest friends to explain, " no I didn't name him after your first born , it was a coincidence. Honestly ."
Magnus is the only dog we have had who is an avid couch potato, TV addict.
True, his viewing selections are species idiosyncratic. Most Attenborough stuff is on his list, though he wasn't too fussed with Blue Planet until the Whales started singing . The programme he did on Hyenas was compelling watching for him, head swivelling like a demented meerkat . As half a deerhound, you can also see him measuring up antelope and thinking " You know? I think I could ."
But it was Nadia, the COVID 19 infected Tiger at the Bronx Zoo that got his attention this time . Our fault really, we inherited a very big TV when we bought this house, so a Tiger head 4ft by 3ft does capture the canine imagination.
But he also suffers from FAS- Feline Anxiety Syndrome .
This all came about through a chance encounter with KC (Killer Cat) a recent newcomer to the village 2 doors up. In a prescient move that reflects our current times, KC adopts a "social distancing" approach. This applies to most other living creatures but particularly, dogs. KC is just an angry cat .
Magnus until that point was curious of, but generally friendly, to most cats.Then KC beat the living bejesus out of him for having the temerity of coming within a foot of his tail. Since then he has steered well clear of cats but actually would cross the M8 in peak traffic if he saw KC.
Coronavirus is also a confusing time for Magnus. He can't play with his friends because that necessitates the humans getting too close to one another. That is just weird because before they would chat interminably when all he wanted to do was chase seagulls. Humans are also now wearing muzzles .
He is also very confused by the Canine response in Ukraine. Our friend there confirmed that the total local down means you can only go out; to shop, get medicines and walk the dog . If you don't have a dog ? It appears there is a black market in dog walking emerging. Dogs are flinching with exhaustion when they see the lead. A response beyond his comprehension .
Now an article showing that Cats ……even very BIG cats can catch C19 .
I am using all my former counselling skills with him.
" No Magnus, there is no evidence of Cat to Human or Canine transmission. Get real, KC wouldn't come near you anyway!
Chill, watch the warthogs."

This material is meant to assist teachers to facilitate learning about international conflicts, human rights and conflict resolutions in the school. Global political conflicts are issues that may be sensitive and controversial to bring up, especially in school classes where students are related or have strong feelings to different sides in a conflict. It is nevertheless important to create a space for democratic dialogue about controversial issues in the classroom, a place for disagreement, engagement and for different voices to be heard, in order to prevent exclusion and polarization that may lead to extremism.
- Students get an overview of the many current global conflict zones as well as peaceful zones and regions.
- Students develop critical thinking and a nuanced view of global conflicts by getting a sense of A) the variety of reasons and background factors involved in different conflicts, and B) the dynamic dimension of conflicts, i.e. that conflicts are not permanent and static, and can be ended in various ways.
- Students gain knowledge and understanding of human rights, as well as engagement through active participation in activities, as a frame to work for peace and equality.
- Students gain an understanding of conflict solution, peacemaking and peacekeeping work, through practical activity concerning conflict solution.
A basic function of the educational system in a democratic society is to prepare for a democratic citizenship. Schools must provide a safe space for students "where teachers invite students (especially those who are on the margins of society and those who feel marginalized) to explore their ideas in inclusive settings" (RAN 2018).
Controversies, conflicts and a plurality of positions are basic parts of a democratic society and schools have to take up national and international conflicts in an educationally constructive way to make them understandable for students living in a globalized world. It is also the challenge for schools, to create the frames for the students own engagement and perspectives to unfold. The school must stimulate, and be open for, the active engagement of students as they contribute with their ideas on how to create a better local and global world.
Political and ideological factors can play a role in radicalization in a complex interplay with other factors. According to Magnus Ranstorp, political factors "include grievances framed around victimhood against western foreign policy and military intervention." (RAN 2016). Students may also become mobilized by right-wing political narratives and a xenophobic emphasis on the failure of the conventional political system to defend national identities perceived to be under threat. The process of an open democratic discussion involves "addressing controversial and conflicting interests. Polarization cannot be challenged by disregarding sensitive issues." (RAN 2018).
International conflicts, politics and military attacks and interventions can also be highly controversial – in various ways for different people.
In your class, you may have students whose family are refugees from warzones or countries, who are or have been targets of military attacks and interventions of American or European troops. Students who may have lost relatives or still have relatives in such targeted and conflict ridden areas. You may also have students with family members who have been soldiers in international military interventions. Other students may have relatives which have joined military groups in war zones. Finally, polarization in class may include students with strong xenophobic attitudes towards certain population groups.
This material aims to be part of the teachers work to create a safe space in the classroom where the students can investigate and have dialogues about issues that occupy them, in a respectful and still open way that takes into account different sensitivities and experiences concerning the subjects. The activities aim to set the basis for a deeper and less sensational understanding of global issues related to peace and conflicts, as well as a basis for the active empowered engagement of students to work towards solutions in the global society.
Didactic and methodological considerations for the teacher:
- Be aware as a teacher of your own norms, beliefs and values and how these have been shaped, and the potential impact of these on your teaching of controversial issues.
- Be aware and reflect on the pros and cons of revealing your own beliefs and values to students and decide a personal policy on this on the basis of the benefits to students and one's sense of personal integrity.
- You may experiment with different teaching roles and approaches according to circumstance, e.g. the teacher as a 'neutral chairperson', 'balanced' approach, 'devil's advocate' and 'stated commitment'. See:"Teaching Controversial Issues. Professional development pack for teachers". Council of Europe, 2015, pp. 15 – 21) http://www.worldwiseschools.ie/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Teaching-Controversial-Issues-Professional-Development-Pack-for-Teachers-Council-of-Europe.pdf
Here you can also find ideas on how to establish ground rules with the students in class, and about de-personalizing and distancing strategies, use of structured discussion formats, etc. as well as ideas to turn spontaneous questions and controversial remarks into positive teaching opportunities.
See also additional suggested approaches and activities on how to deal with controversial topics in class and conflict resolution in the other modules of PRACTICE Radicalisation Prevention Programme.

Just like everything, a top tier of vehicles exists where only the elite even dream of owning them. Whether it is price, speed, age, efficiency, or look, these vehicles are the best of the best. They blow regular cars out of the water all while beating astronomical world records. These vehicles may be available to the public, but you can trust that most people won't dare buy one.
Bugatti Veyron
The Bugatti Veyron SuperSport is the most expensive car in the world coming in with a price tag of $2.4 million. Not only does the price tag put most people out of the game, only thirty of them were even made! This makes this vehicle extremely elite in every sense of the word.
Speed Demon Streamliner
The Speed Demon Streamliner is the fastest land car in the world, with a test speed of 439.562 mph. The car's looks alone assures us that this won't be seen on the street anytime soon, but it is available to the public if they think they can handle the power.
Modified 1950s Dodge Power Wagon
The 1950's Dodge Power Wagon is by the far the largest pick up truck in the world. It is at least 5 times larger than a regular Dodge Power Wagon. Look inside this astonishing vehicle and find four air conditioned bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and even a backyard.
Looking for fuel-efficiency? This is a one-stop-shop. This VW will beat any Prius in the world. It is the most fuel efficient car in the world at 261 miles per gallon.
Commuter Cars Tango
Have you ever been frustrated when another car comes into your lane and almost hits you? Fear no more; the Tango is the narrowest car in the world fitting in only half of a lane.
Paramount Marauder
The Paramount Marauder is by far the toughest vehicle on the planet. Obviously designed for military needs, this car can survive just about anything. By the looks of it, you would not think this but once you get behind the wheel, you are invisible.
World's Longest Limousine
This limousine measures up as the world's longest car ever at 100 feet long! It calls for two drivers, making use of all twenty-six wheels to get around turns. Inside there is a swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, and a king size bed. On the outside you will find a sun deck and a helipad: that's right, I said a helipad.
Forget the fastest land vehicle in the world. The ThrustSSC is the fastest non-legal vehicle in the world. It broke the sound barrier with Two Rolls Royce Spey jet engines using a ten ton vehicle. It's top speed is 1000 mph. This is a whole new level of fast.
Bigfoot 5
Bigfoot 5 is the largest monster truck in the world. It weighs 28,000 lbs and is almost 16 feet tall. This truck looks far from normal with enormous wheels underneath a normal (relatively) sized truck.
Longest Freight Train
The longest freight train in the world is 4.568 miles long containing 682 cars with 8 diesel electric engines. Talk about a world record.
World's Fastest Bus
The yellow school bus is taken to the next level here with a jet engine from a Phantom fighter plane. This bus is capable of reaching a speed of 367 mph.
World's Fastest Lawnmower
If you have ever mowed your lawn, then you know those old things can go super slow, and you dread the thought of putting around on one. Well, think what it would be like with an 86 mph lawnmower. This was been done, beating the world record for the fastest lawnmower in the world.

I really can't believe I only found this gmail productivity hack out now… Sorry in advance if you already knew about this and think I've been living under a rock!
If you didn't know about it, you're welcome, lol 🙂
I've been using Gmail for over a decade now and I've got a number of different emails coming through, including subscriptions, receipts, marketing emails, etc. (like all of you who've come to read this post!).
As much as I'd love to achieve the inbox zero, it's impossible with the number of emails I receive.
With this Gmail filing for productivity hack I've recently come across, it may still be possible!

Kammenos to be summoned over botched Saudi arms sale
Leftist deputies on Thursday blocked another request from New Democracy and other opposition parties for government ministers and other officials to appear before Parliament's Institutions and Transparency Committee to respond to questions about the botched sale of ammunition to Saudi Arabia.
After a tumultuous session, chaired by SYRIZA lawmaker Anastasia Christodoulopoulou, it was decided that only Defense Minister Panos Kammenos will be summoned, but no date was set for the hearing.
Christodoulopoulou called for a new meeting to decide whether Kammenos should be summoned before or after Turkey's snap elections on June 24 in a bid minimize the risk of public attention being deflected from national security issues.
The opposition has accused Kammenos of trying to involve a middleman in a deal that the Saudis wanted to negotiate directly with Athens. Opposition MPs walked out, accusing SYRIZA of staging a "parliamentary coup."

As I write at 11 a.m. Eastern Time Monday, Hurricane Dorian, with sustained winds of 155 mph—barely below Category 5—is pounding the Bahamas and moving very slowly westward, forecast to turn north later today.
After crawling slowly up the Florida and Georgia coasts Tuesday through Wednesday, Dorian is forecast to turn northeast Thursday morning and continue its crawl along the coasts of South and North Carolina.
By Friday morning the eye could be east of North Carolina's outer banks, and there is some chance that the far western edge of Dorian's winds and rains could affect Virginia, Delaware, and Maryland later Friday and into Saturday, though the storm seems more likely to stay well offshore.
I can only imagine the plight of friends I met in Florida in 2016, and countless others along its coast. State and federal officials have arranged rescue operations, and people are being made aware of safety procedures.
Not surprisingly, climate-change alarmists are seizing the opportunity to promote unfounded fears.
Writing in Forbes, Laura Tenenbaum declared, "global warming causes more intense hurricanes" and suggested that more are on the way. Grist quipped, "'Another hurricane?' How climate disasters can give us compassion fatigue," and asserted that "the scientific consensus is that climate change will contribute to more frequent extreme weather events." Grist blamed President Donald Trump for being complicit.
This tactic—seizing the moment to politicize a hurricane and push the climate scare—is not new. The Washington Post did the same during Hurricane Florence's landfall last year.
Is Dorian a result of "climate change"? Well, yes, insofar as every hurricane forms due to changes in climatic conditions that bring favorable conditions for a hurricane.
But that, of course, isn't what climate alarmists have in mind by "climate change." They mean global warming over the past 50 years or so driven to dangerous levels by human emissions of carbon dioxide. This, they claim, is causing more extreme weather events like the recent wildfires in the Amazon and Category 5 hurricanes like Dorian.
But one need not be a scientist to expose the falsehood of that claim. All one has to do is look up the historic frequency and strength of hurricanes since records began. The data reveal the truth—and here they are.
No Increase in Hurricane Frequency
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's "U.S. Hurricane Strikes by Decade" data, reaching back to 1851, can be accessed here. They show that there has been a 50 percent reduction in the number of major hurricanes making landfall in the United States since the 1930s. For the entire period, there is a slight downward trend in frequency, but the decline since the 1930s is remarkable.
So, if anything, hurricanes have become less frequent, not more, during the period of allegedly manmade global warming.
No Increase in Hurricane Strength
Although damage done by hurricanes has risen, the increase is entirely because more people and property are in their paths, not because there are more, or stronger, hurricanes. Hurricane intensity shows no sign of increase in the past 90 years. In fact, there is a slight decrease between 1930 and 2018.
So the hard data reveal that hurricanes are not increasing in either frequency or intensity. Any claim of scientific consensus otherwise is simply false.
The mainstream media have been promoting the myth of "scientific consensus on extreme weather events." Scientists themselves say there is no such consensus.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) special climate report in 2018 finds little to no evidence for the hypothesis that global warming caused extreme weather events to increase.
Instead, it says "there is only low confidence regarding changes in global tropical cyclone numbers under global warming over the last four decades." Even more shocking, it states,"Numerous studies towards and beyond AR5 have reported a decreasing trend in the global number of tropical cyclones and/or the globally accumulated cyclonic energy."
So instead of creating climate fears and politicizing Hurricane Dorian, the media should stick to warning people of risks and informing them about safety procedures and rescue operations.

Rhythmic Living: Let Sabbath Refresh You
"Better is one handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind."
Ecclesiastes 4:6, TNIV
As a young man I worked for my uncle, a plumber. One day we landed a job for a new restaurant in a small hotel. Our project involved something we had never done: cutting a hole in the twelve-inch-thick concrete slab so we could install a floor sink. We rented a concrete-saw, including the special "sintered" blade, which was embedded with diamond crystals to make it hard enough to cut the cement. To keep the dust down, we built a tent of clear plastic sheeting around the work area, and I began cutting. The project took hours, and put up so much dust that the visqueen became opaque, and I looked like "Dr. Cement." The other construction workers seemed to be avoiding us! When we returned the saw at the end of the day the bill was astronomical. We had worn out and used up the bejeweled blade, which cost hundreds of dollars! The rental tech pointed out something we hadn't noticed on the saw: a threaded fitting to which a water hose could be attached. It was designed to be water-cooled to keep the dust down and to save the blade from burning away. If we would have observed the design of the saw, we could have avoided ruining the precious blade and spending all that money—and I could have avoided the embarrassment of walking around the construction site looking like a C.G.I. comic-book movie villain!
We humans are like that blade: valuable and powerful, we need refreshing cool water flowing over us to honor our worth and preserve our strength. God has designed each aspect of his created order with a threaded fitting, too, including us. The rhythms of Sabbath are built in to the very fabric of creation and—since we are part of that creation—into the DNA of every human being. Christians are not required to observe a structured, law-based Sabbath as the ancient Hebrew people were,[1] but the mystery of Sabbath and its rhythms of rest and worship are still crucial to our spiritual, physical, and relational well-being.[2] Abraham Heschel, a leading Jewish thinker and rabbi who, "praying with his feet," famously marched with Martin Luther King, Jr., paints a compelling picture of what Sabbath can be: "The seventh day is a palace in time which we build. It is made of soul, of joy, of reticence. In its atmosphere… is a reminder of adjacency to eternity."[3] He goes on to ask what was created on the seventh day. His answer: "tranquility, serenity, peace, and repose… happiness, stillness, and harmony. The Sabbath must all be spent in charm, grace, peace, and great love."[4] Wayne Muller articulates the heart of Christian observance of Sabbath rhythms, "Sabbath is more than the absence of work; …it is the presence of something that arises when we consecrate a period of time to listen to what is most deeply beautiful, nourishing, or true."[5]
Though it is tempting simply to see Sabbath as a longed-for opportunity to get by ourselves and take a long nap, isolation and sleep are not defining characteristics of this practice as described in scripture. The Sabbath is a day for sacred assembly—for gathering together in the name of God.[6] Sabbath is communal. Sabbath is a gift from God for our delight and blessing, a time to thankfully receive God's provision as a grace, and to do so together.[7]
Sabbath is the first positive commandment. It is not simply a prohibition of work, it is a call to remember and observe something greater than accomplishment and effort. Sabbath is an expression of human nobility that relocates our intrinsic value so that our worth is no longer defined by what we can produce, but by who we are as God's beloved.[8] Rabbi Heschel gets to the heart of this matter in a way that evokes the Rolling Stones' classic song: "Man is not a beast of burden and the Sabbath is not for enhancing the efficiency of his toil."[9] Jesus likely had ideas like these in mind when he said, "The Sabbath was made for people, not people for the Sabbath."[10]
All this brings the question "why don't we honor God's creation rhythms of worship and rest?" Perhaps the greatest detriment to Sabbath observance is selfish ambition. The person who works seven days instead of six has an automatic seventeen-percent time advantage—great leverage if the ultimate goal is to get ahead! Another motivator is lack of grace toward self and others, often rooted in a misunderstanding of our basic human identity (I hear that Mick Jagger song again!). Fear, strife, and anxiety can also be powerful forces inhibiting a rightly-ordered life.
If we don't honor these rhythms, though, we risk becoming slaves to our work; and, worse, we enslave others, failing to give our spouse, children, coworkers, and friends the grace of rest that God intends for them. We become bitter toward God and others and we become sick, depressed and burned out.
The Christian Practice of Sabbath
The Jewish practice of Sabbath involves sanctifying the time between sundown on Friday and sundown on Saturday, refraining from all work and physical effort, and gathering with family and friends for worship and togetherness. Some Christian groups choose to observe Sabbath according to this Jewish model, and this can be done in a healthy and life-giving way. I have a friend who is a Messianic Christian pastor and rabbi, and the congregation he leads honors the Jewish Sabbath, along with the rest of the Jewish calendar of worship and holidays—and they do so without a trace of legalism toward those who choose to do otherwise! Most Christians, though, will not choose this kind of rigorous observance—and this makes things much more complicated and murky. One solution to this complexity is to build "Sabbath-resonant" activities and practices into the ongoing patterns of life.
My ability to navigate this concept was challenged one day when my then teen-aged daughter, as we were arriving home on a Sunday evening after a long and busy weekend of ministry, asked me if I would go for a midnight run with her. If Sabbath were simply defined as rest and the avoidance of physical activity on the holy day, the answer would have been simple: "No honey, Daddy's tired and needs to get to sleep." As I lifted my attention to God in that moment, seeking a response that resonated with divine values, I realized there was a greater logic at work: a midnight run with my daughter was resonant with important biblical values that touch on Sabbath—much more so than an early bedtime on the heels of a weekend full of work!
To sort out real-world questions like this, and to recognize Sabbath-resonant activities when they present themselves, consider these five Sabbath values:
Faith: Sabbath is holy, so attendance of public worship, times of family prayer, reading and contemplation of scripture, giving thanks at the table, and other God-centered activities are more than appropriate.
Family: Sabbath is not getting away from the relational matrix of home, it is allowing family and home to be infused with God's goodness and presence. Stephen Covey offers a compelling four-word phrase that captures the hoped-for end product of this Sabbath value, the cultivation of "a beautiful family culture."[11]
Friendship: Sabbath is communal and is characterized by togetherness, so anything that involves time with friends enhances the life-giving aspects of Sabbath.
Freedom: It is not the expenditure of effort that is to be avoided; it is the slavery of have-to's. Climbing a mountain or riding a bike is a Sabbath activity; completing the honey-do list is not.
Fun: Sabbath is a celebration of life in God, not a morose duty.
Considering these values, I concluded that a midnight run around the neighborhood with my daughter really was an expression of Sabbath. I could invest time with my daughter in a spirit of family love. I could express the divine gift of freedom by doing something out of the ordinary—something not required by my work agenda. She and I could worship God by observing the creative beauty of the stars in the crystal sky above us. We could laugh and enjoy the exhilaration and joy that comes from a good run in fresh air.

One of the joys of hosting a radio show is getting feedback. Because American Warrior Radio broadcasts on multiple days in several markets, we don't take calls on the air.
Apart from the AWR fan (who happens to also be a radio host) that texts me during interviews, feedback is never immediate. There IS the Phoenix listener who calls almost every week to discuss the episode that just aired. He always has valuable insights and I look forward to our regular chats.
Just a couple of weeks ago, we got a note from our Sacramento affiliate asking us to call a listener who wrote their station. I did, and it turns out she is a retiree on a fixed income but every month she makes a donation to a charitable organization. She heard one of our features and wanted to make a contribution. Then a few days ago we received a call from another retiree in Massachusetts who told a similar story. She couldn't remember the name of the charity so we went through a list together and she settled on making a contribution to Spike's K9 Fund.
Doing radio is a privilege. But feedback like that REALLY puts the icing on the cake. If you have a story to share don't be shy about reaching out!

When someone is investigating affect, they are studying the ways that a piece of writing appeals to and triggers a reader's feelings. If a piece of writing is "affective," the reader should feel something when reading through the lines. The word can be used to refer to all types of writing from poems to non-fiction. The latter has the capability to be affective in the way it tells a story, for example, a detailed account of someone's personal loss or a devastating world tragedy.
Explore Affective
Definition of Affective
When describing a piece of literature that makes the audience feel something, one might use the word "affective" to define it. The book, short story, play, or poem is "affective" if while reading or hearing it, the listener/audience member/reader experiences some kind of emotions in relation to the storyline. This could be anything from shock and horror, to feelings of love and contentment. Readers might find themselves feeling sorry for one character and horrified at the actions of another. Drawing emotions out of one's audience is one of the most important ways a writer can ensure that their work is going to have an impact.
Example of Affective Literature
Night by Elie Wiesel
In this semi-autobiographical novel, Elie Wiesel tells the story of Eliezer, a young man who endures the Holocaust alongside his father. He based Eliezer's experiences around his own, with a few changes. This allowed the writer to put himself at a slight distance from the story since it was so personal. The novel is incredibly affective in the way that it describes Eliezer's suffering and the loss of almost his entire family.
Once removed from his home and taken to Auschwitz, he loses his mother and his sister. There, he sees an incredible amount of tragedy that should move the reader to feel for him and for all those who suffered at the hands of the Nazi regime. Here is a particularly moving part of the novel:
Then came the march past the victims. The two men were no longer alive. Their tongues were hanging out, swollen and bluish. But the third rope was still moving: the child, too light, was still breathing…
And so he remained for more than half an hour, lingering between life and death, writhing before our eyes.
And we were forced to look at him at close range. He was still alive when I passed him. His tongue was still red, his eyes not yet extinguished.
Wiesel does not hold back while describing the horrors he witnessed. But, he also doesn't revel in them. Events such as this were a part of his everyday experience.

The Colossus by Sylvia Plath
In this incredible poem, Plath defines her relationship with her father. The poem was first published in 1960 in Plath's collection Colossus and Other Poems. She depicts her father as a fallen statue and herself as the statue's keeper. She spends her time around the statue, expressing her irritation at points and contentment and peace at others. The speaker sometimes enjoys her ties to this fallen colossus while other times she feels imprisoned by her connection. Here is the second stanza:
Perhaps you consider yourself an oracle,
Mouthpiece of the dead, or of some god or other.
Thirty years now I have labored
To dredge the silt from your throat.
I am none the wiser.
The speaker can't stop trying to put her father back together again or reassemble something of their past relationship. She works on and on but still, nothing changes. The affective qualities of this piece of writing are clear from the beginning. The speaker is torn between her loyalty to her job/to her father and her desire to move on.

Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe
'Annabel Lee' is one of Poe's best-known poems. It's perfectly rhymed with beautiful and affective images, making it easy to imagine and hard to forget. It starts with a fairy-tale-like tone but evolves into something darker as it becomes clear that Annabel Lee is dead and, in the speaker's own words, in Heaven with the angels. They grew jealous of the relationship she had with the speaker and took her away. Here are a few lines:
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
At first, everything seems perfect. All the two wanted to do was love one another. Suddenly, "My beautiful Annabel Lee" was chilled by the wind. Eventually, the wind "came out of the cloud by night, / Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee." Her death comes suddenly and seemingly, purposelessly. The poet's use of language makes this poem quite emotional.

Death and the Moon by Carol Ann Duffy
In this emotional poem, the poet remembers Adrian Henri, focusing on how his passing impacted those left behind. Duffy conveys a sense of loss within her poem, exploring how still the world has become. She knew Henri for decades since she was sixteen years old. She lived with him until 1982. Here are a few lines from the poem:
The moon is nearer than where death took you
at the end of the old year. Cold as cash
in the sky's dark pocket, its hard old face
is gold as a mask tonight. […]
The poet uses images of stillness, like a frozen pond, in order to define how the world changed when he died. She's describing her personal experience but in such a way that many readers are going to feel connected to her. It is easy enough to project one's own experience with loss onto Duffy's words.

Why is the Affect Important in Literature?
When writers compose their work, it's often at the forefront of their intentions they make the reader feel something. Depending on the work, whether it's a short poem or a long novel, the number, and type of emotions are going to differ. Throughout Night, readers experience a wide range of emotions while in a short poem like 'Annabel Lee,' they are more specific. No matter how a writer goes about creating an emotional effect, readers who experience it are more likely to enjoy what they're read and remember it for longer.
It is a term from literary criticism that's used to refer to an error in judging a text. This error comes about due to the reader's emotions. When a reader is moved by a piece of writing they might be distracted by their emotions and judge the work incorrectly, positively or negatively.
An intentional fallacy is a mistake in judging a piece of writing. It occurs when the reader is only considering the author's intentions and not their own reaction. They become distracted by what they think the author is trying to do, and they let it overrule what the author actually accomplished.
The word "affective" refers to the emotional qualities of a work of literature. If a piece of writing is affective then it "affects" the reader. They're moved by the content and experience some kind of emotions in relation to it. These might be feelings of sorrow, satisfaction, or even rage.
The word "affect" is used when describing the impact something has while "effect" is the result of being "affected." For example, "Did that affect you? The end effect was that it made me cry." "Affect" is a verb and "effect" is a noun.
A piece of literature might make the reader feeling sorrowful and cry, feel joyful, filled with rage, jealousy, peace, or even fear. Writers are incredibly capable when it comes to triggering reader's emotions and sometimes making them feel all of these emotions within the span of a few pages.

❤ iOS 14: How to use the new iPhone alarms
Table of Contents
Among the more modest tweaks to the iPhone's UI with iOS 14 is a redesigned Clock app. While it is nice to see the rotating dial replaced with a more efficient number pad, there are some confusing aspects to the new interface. Read along for how to use the new iPhone alarms in iOS 14 and where the Bedtime tab has moved.
The Clock app on iPhone with iOS 14 is simpler in some ways but also a bit counterintuitive in others. Below we'll look at how to best use iPhone alarms as well where the Bedtime tab now lives and more.
Note: iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 are available as free public betas as well as developer betas for iPhone and iPad.
How to use new iPhone alarms in iOS 14
- Open the Clock app
- Tap the Alarm tab at the bottom
- Tap the orange "+" icon in the top right corner or hit Edit in the top left corner and tap an existing one to modify it
- Use the number keypad at the bottom of the screen to enter your full alarm time (don't tap the small orange time near the top, if you do, you'll just be editing the hour)
- You can leave out the 0 for hours between 1-9 (e.g. type 730 instead of 0730)
- Don't forget to check the AM/PM toggle (light gray box signals what is selected)
- One way to opt-out of the interface is to use Siri to set your alarms
Here's how the new UI looks and works with some more details and tips:
After you tap to add a new alarm or edit an existing one, make sure to start with the on-screen number keypad at the bottom.
Don't forget to check the AM/PM toggle. Unfortunately, it defaults to whatever the current time is. So if you're adding or editing alarms 12 PM or later, make sure to switch it to AM for morning alarms.
What happens when you tap the orange time
The new UI becomes confusing if you start by tapping the orange alarm time at the top of the edit/new alarm screen as it selects just the hour to be editable or just the minutes as shown below. That leads to a counterintuitive and clunky experience.
However, with the default that displays the entire time in orange (showing the current time) you can use the number pad at the bottom of your screen to quickly enter the hour and minutes for your alarm. So make sure to head straight for the number pad at the bottom.
Where's the Bedtime tab?
You probably also noticed that the Bedtime tab that used to be in the clock app is gone. You'll still see the Sleep | Wake Up alarm that is scheduled in the Alarm tab of the clock app but you'll find that what used to be the Bedtime settings now live in the Health app.
Here's what it looks like to edit your sleep schedule in iOS 14:

Given how mischievous Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is as a character, it only makes sense that his namesake series follows suit. A show that, from the first two episodes afforded to media ahead of its Disney+ debut, seems to absolutely delight in embracing the unexpected, Loki continues the more inventive, and oft-humorous, route that served the recent WandaVision so fruitfully, as opposed to the more traditional Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
If you're wondering how Loki is even afforded his own program after he was killed off by the almighty Thanos in those opening moments of Infinity War, you have little to ponder as the Michael Waldron-created show gives us a neat recap in that the Loki we are set to follow for a six-episode run is in fact an alternate timeline Loki, the one from 2012 who managed to steal the Tesseract from The Avengers. Remember that?
If you don't, Loki is clearly not the show to pop your Marvel cherry.
For the rest of the MCU enthused, this show wastes very little time in establishing itself as a fast-paced effort, one that has an awful lot of fun playing (and toying) with the multiverse branch that has already been teased in the last Avengers film, and will seemingly have ramifications pertaining to the upcoming Spider-Man and Doctor Strange sequels. But that's getting ahead of itself. Loki very much wants to prove its footing as its own creation and it manages to do so within minutes, with the partnership between himself and the gloriously named Mobius M. Mobius (Owen Wilson) proving its greatest asset.
The buddy-cop mentality adhered to between Loki and Mobius allows Waldron's script to shine, with the wickedly smug Hiddleston balancing out the straight-man drollness of Wilson. Just how they come to work together manages to not entirely be a plot element for the sake of narrative projection either, with Loki's villainous perspective proving to be of use to Mobius and his Time Variance Authority organisation as they seek out whatever catastrophe is to be planned for intended global destruction.
As to be expected with Hiddleston, he's absolute perfection in the role, perhaps never better than he is here. Savouring every arrogant syllable of his many villainous articulations, there's effortlessness in how he explores facets of his character we've seen hinted at prior, as well as virgin avenues that lean into the notion that redemption on his part is truly a believable arc.
Though a six-episode running may seem too skint, the story and detail Loki manages to encompass in these first two alone suggests Waldron and director Kate Herron have embraced these limitations with a vastness that would overshoot the narrative if it could.
Immensely engaging, darkly funny (there's a dialogue reference to Wes Craven's original Scream that should satisfy the purists), oddly emotional, and joyfully wild, Loki, like WandaVision, is further proof that when Marvel colour outside the intended lines, they manage their own canvas that's just as attractive and infinitely more interesting.
Loki will premiere its first episode on Disney+ on Wednesday, June 9th, 2021. It will continue to release each subsequent episode weekly, before concluding on July 14th.

Our BIG Goal
Aligning with our mission, Dare To Be A Cowboy's goal is to expose the western and agricultural way of life to children (and adults) through a "DTBAC Facility". The idea behind the DTBAC Facility is to design a space that children and adults can come to from anywhere around the world, to work with animals, ride horses, and to begin a basic appreciation for the industry. We will also invite cowgirls and cowboys down for retreats and clinics to help them with things like personal growth, branding, and so much more. By providing summer camps, lessons, mentors, clinics, and scholarships to get here, we believe that we can change the lives of everyone that we work with. Our mission is to gather a team of horses and instructors that will help with this lofty goal- and are going to do whatever it takes to create this dream into a reality!
Here are some photos for inspiration as to what the DTBAC headquarters is visioned to look like:
