|Jim Culver - In Chaos Major Final Build (From Covenant Live,
botounami · 868
Final build here: https://arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/23905/jim-culver-in-chaos-major-final-build-from-covenant-live-1.0
For the actual level 0 build, go to 2x Wither 0, cut Four of Cups, cut Fearless, and add 1x Astral Travel and 1x Ethereal Form.
When we first built Jim Culver on stream - with the help of so many of you on chat - it came together as an outsourced deck usually does: generically good cards that are traditionally associated with a particular investigator. Such a deck looks like this.
With Jim, you immediately want to focus on drawing skulls; Jim's Trumpet triggers from the draw, and many Mystic cards reward you for hitting those symbols.
So, of course you start down the road of Dark Prophecy, Olive McBride, and The Chthonian Stone. Then we recognized that the Trumpet was a relic, and bringing in unique allies is generally the best way to utilize those 5 level 0 slots, so Dr. Elli Horowitz made an appearance. That further incentivized The Chthonian Stone and added a wildly thematic Hallowed Mirror for Soothing Melody.
The rest is standard Mystic, with Shrivelling as the attack spell and Sixth Sense as a secondary investigator option. And because I find it to be the best card in the game, two Lucky! was a given.
Now, though, I've been able to take all of these ideas and actually obsess over the build for more hours than I'd like to admit. I've found that the absolute best way to refine a level 0 build, and to optimize your leveling after each scenario, is to look at your final build at about 30XP. There's probably a known "average" across a cycle, but I've found that building to around 30XP has been about right to lock in something I can actually realize and to elucidate a deck concept I might have so I can build it properly from the ground up.
When I started looking at ways to level up Jim, I had to decide on a mechanical theme, and then, because I can't resist, make sure it coalesces around a story that makes sense for the character.
Here's what I realized pretty quickly about Jim. It's not at all about finding ways to draw skulls. It's about consistency and a much higher than average success rate on tests that matter. In Carcosa, with the starting bag, Jim effectively has 3 extra "0" tokens. This means I'm less affected by bad draws. Being less affected by bad draws means that my big spells and events are less susceptible to being "wasted". Which started me in the direction of - how heavily can I mitigate failure, and how can I take advantage of that mitigation? The latter is especially important. Building an engine that never fails, but does nothing, is a trap I've found myself in many times. (Luckily, Mystic spells pretty much take care of themselves on the "this is worth succeeding at" front.)
So I searched out any card that mitigated failure. Immediate off-class interests were the Survivor staples Live and Learn and Lucky!. If I included both, I'd really be pushing the "can't fail" idea.
Then, from Mystic, it started getting very exciting. First was Recall the Future, which can turn the -4 to a -2, and/or the -3 to a -1, or drastically help against bad symbols, or any variation thereof. Likewise, you could turn -2 into 0, leaving you with yet more 0 value to draw in the bag.
Next was the "included but then cut" Ritual Candles. I actually love this card on second look. As is the case with a lot of Mystic builds, I was struggling for money in my first go with the original deck, and dropping a Stone for 3, especially when it can get immediately bounced, never felt good. Grabbing it with Dr. Elli Horowitz feels good, but balancing relics with hand/neck slots and hoping it all gets drawn in the right order is a game I already played with Mandy Thompson in Forgotten Age - and she plays it better - so I was ready for a cleaner approach.
Ritual Candles turns a Skull draw into a +1. It also turns the other symbols, generally -2s or -3s, into much more reasonable outcomes. I can hold Candles and the Trumpet without worrying about a conflict in my hand slots, and ultimately that is a cool enough visual to include on its own. Best of all, Candles cost 1, helping to keep the curve lower so I can afford my bigger spells.
It all really came together with The Black Cat. Not only does this insulate me from those awful symbols, but Ritual Candles makes them zeroes as well. In addition, the generous 3-health and 3-sanity helps sponge an unlucky Final Rhapsody and opens up Jim's super star ability to do something quite meaningful - pass an impossible test and heal up The Black Cat - rather than the oft-unneeded "this is a skull now" ability.
In a dream scenario - 2x Recall the Future, 1x Black Cat, 1x Ritual Candles, you can have insane odds. This is our bag after the first scenario on Standard:
1x: +1 || 2x: 0 || 3x: –1 || 2x: –2 || 1x: –3 || 1x: –4 || 3x: Skull || 2x: Tablet || 1x Star || 1x Auto-Fail
Let's imagine I am testing my 4 Will against a test of (3). Here's what can happen to the bag with the above cards out.
1x: +1 || 2x: 0 || 3x: –1 || 2x: –2 [0] || 1x: –3 [-1] || 1x: –4 || 3x: Skull [+1] || 2x: Tablet [0] || 1x Star || 1x Auto-Fail
Two tokens fail that test for me. If I have a margin of 2, only one token fails - the tentacle. If I bring in Olive, I can have a fantastic shot at triggering any "on symbol" effects and still have incredibly high odds at success. Now that's the Jim I want to play. Stay in tune with the bag, and keep those trumpet solos humming.
So, returning to the Level 0 build of the deck, we had to change some things. I'm now all-in on Ritual Candles and Holy Rosary. I've actually doubled up on Delve Too Deep since it wrecked us and I need to use it a few more times to make up the XP we lost from that play (what a trap!). Additionally, this deck really clicks once it has its big XP pieces working together (Black Cat + Recall the Future) so I want to get there quickly.
The splashes definitely changed. After a number of test draws and playing with the curve of the deck, I settled on a heavy skew toward 2-cost cards. That means Lone Wolf opens up almost every card in my deck being playable at the start of my turn, even if I ended last turn on 0 resources. This will allow me to keep pace with the scenario while also adding key pieces of the build during one of my actions each turn; it also means Wither, Spectral Razor, Read the Signs, and Ethereal Form are always playable right after they're drawn, important for reactionary cards that are best played after an enemy is drawn in Mythos.
Also, it has a piano player on it. That'll be important for a thematic appreciation of my setup.
While I'm headed toward Word of Command, Mystics live and die by their spells being in play. Spending half the game trying to draw into Shrivelling is a reality most of us have witnessed, so I needed a way to filter through the deck without sacrificing tempo. Reasonable choices on this front are Preposterous Sketches and No Stone Unturned, but Zach is running Joe Diamond and they'll be all over his Insight deck already, so I started looking elsewhere and stumbled upon one of my favorites - Eureka!. It keeps tempo nicely since it doesn't take an action or any cash, and it can be played on any of my common tests. It's especially nice on an early Read the Signs, which nabs two clues and is almost guaranteed success with an out-of-the-gate test of 8. Because of Jim's token consistency, getting it to fire successfully throughout the game shouldn't be an issue.
Finally, as an homage to the original splash, I left in one Live and Learn. I actually like this card better than Lucky! in this deck even though I don't want to. First, it's free. Second, it's a wild icon to use on a critical test made by another investigator. Third, it allows me to play my odds in a much more clever way; take an iffy test without using Olive McBride - maybe you get the token you need and you can now use her during a different action. If you fail, play Live and Learn, trigger Olive, and take the big test at +2 with Olive's ability. You can risk drawing the symbol you need if you don't hit a Skull, and have a buffer for its inherent negative. There's also a world where you fight with Wither, hit a symbol, fail the test, give the enemy -1 across the board, and then use Live and Learn to have a much better chance at success and potentially proc the -1 on the second test, too. I think that works, at least.
I did have 2x Live and Learn because it seems to synergize with "when you draw" effects so well, but the consistency across resources and cards with Lone Wolf and Eureka! was too good to pass up.
With two Arcane Research, my plan is to start with upgrading a spell every scenario, and then grab Recall the Future and Fearless to increase success odds and prevent losing scenarios to the early horror loss. It starts with Wither, as I'm supposed to do mainly combat, then next scenario it's Sixth Sense, and finally Shrivelling; going from 0 to 3, and then 3 to 5 if I have the time. Ward of Protection is also a solid option.
After upgrading a spell, the rest of the XP goes into The Black Cat, then Charisma, and finally the last copy of The Black Cat.
I'll be putting more thematic notes on the Final Build decklist once I publish it, but meantime this is how I'm planning to move Jim through Carcosa! In the grand scheme of things, my plan is to enhance the already impressive consistency of Jim's draws with Recall the Future, The Black Cat, Ritual Candles, Olive, and Fearless, then have a toolbox of powerful spells with Word of Command. To keep the tempo strong, I'll be importing Lone Wolf and Eureka, while packing the already impressive Uncage the Soul. All that's left to do after that is...play the right notes.

Great writeup! Really enjoyed the stream on Friday (Saturday for me in Australia), can't wait to see more Jim in Carcosa!
May 11, 2020
This is super well thought out and I really enjoyed the write-up! I think this deck is much more exciting than the original take. I'm excited to see you guys back in Arkham on Friday!
May 12, 2020
I've always been interested in Jim, but never interested enough to sit down with a deck. It'll be neat to see him in what is arguably his best campaign.
I am curious though: no mention of song of the dead? Not that it's good, but Jim is the only deck where it could be good, so I'd be tempted to see if I could make it work. Also, it seems like you took dark prophecy out; did the deck just not have the room?
May 13, 2020
When the starter decks come, you're going to be slapping Crystal Pendulum right in this deck instead of Holy Rosary!
You'll find the engine of 2x Candles, Recall and Olive means you're pulling down positive modifiers even when summing two tokens, it's absolutely bonkers. I'm not sure you even need the tarot to be brutally honest, 5 wp with all that bag mitigation should see you through the vast majority of tests, especially when you have the upgraded arcane slot spells (and it's so painful to draw during the game rather than at the beginning).
May 14, 2020
This build is shooting for consistently high odds tests that power high return spells, so Shriveling is a better fit!
I was super tempted too. The deck started in that direction, but deviated once Recall the Future + Black Cat came into view.
May 14, 2020
It's a really nice balance between those two accessory slots. Well-designed.
May 14, 2020
Then again, I could pivot that slot into Bulletproof Vest - which I actually like a lot better given the weak Agility stat. I'm in! Thanks for the recommendation.
May 14, 2020
Upgraded Sixth Sense is absolutely insane with Olive McBride. You get to gain two clues (one from your location and one from two away) -- which is absolutely amazing.
I am surprised that you are doing the upgraded Fearless so early. Typically that is a later scenario luxury upgrade. I would prefer something like Recall the Future earlier since it really changes the game vs. healing for just 1 more Sanity.
Arcane Initiate is another card to consider since you are running 13 spells. It can help you find the key spells early that you need and then you swap out to Olive McBride after a bit. It can be tricky to play well since you want to be careful around Ancient Evils and such.
May 14, 2020
Hi, thank you for the great build and all the informations :) I am still new to this game. So my question is: You get 5xp from scenario 1, and you have 2x Arcane Research, so the upgraded "Wither" only cost 2xp instead of 4xp I get that. Then you use 2xp on "Fearless" and 1xp for "Four of Cups" that in total is 5xp, but then I have to wait until scenario 2 is done to swap the cards with "Drawn ot the Flame", "Premonition" do to lack of xp. Why no buy "Four of Cups" and upgrade "Wither" then you can have both cards in scenario 2, or have I misunderstod something? What I understand is that: If you swap a card from one to another in your deck it cost 1xp, unless it is an upgrade of the same card (Like "Wither" to upgrade "Wither" cost 0xp, but "Premonition" to "Four of Cups" cost 1xp). Thanks in advance.
May 21, 2020
I think Jim is actually the WORST possible Mystic to take Ritual Candles. Jim already should expect to pass on which means the candles only helps him on .
Keep track of how many times the Candles actually helped you pass a test you would otherwise fail. Over the course of the whole campaign, I would be surprised if the number is greater than 0.
May 21, 2020
With Olive, Skulls are now +1, which can easily make up for the second token resolved. With Recall the Future, you have serious protection against symbols that have horrible downsides upon failure.
I'll definitely take your challenge! Will be good to track starting tomorrow on stream.

I ended up not adding the Fearless and instead upgrading Ward of Protection. I also went more damage dealer to balance out Zach playing Seeker, so no Sixth Sense and all in on Shriveling and Spectral Razor, with one Storm of Spirits. I'd probably go to 2x Read the Signs and drop an Astral Travel if I were doing it again.
Really hitting the synergies. Using Olive when I can't fail a test (to prevent tentacle) and taking tests at incredibly high odds. I really just don't ever fail them. The key, like most Mystics, is taking your time early to get setup.
Would highly recommend the build.

By Jake Evans:
Friday night, Briarcrest (5-2) travels down the road to MUS (6-0), to take on the Owls in a primetime DII-AAA matchup. Last week, MUS smacked St. Benedict 35-0 at home, while Briarcrest was in a heavyweight battle with Christian Brothers. The Saints fell 17-14 at home to CBHS, struggling to find an offensive spark the whole night. MUS currently sits atop the DII-AAA standings, with Briarcrest hot on their trail. A win for the Saints on Friday would be crucial, as the entire DII-AAA West District is within a game of each other. However, MUS has been virtually unstoppable, all year long.
For MUS, their success is led by their offense. QB Sellers Shy has been one of the best signal-callers in the state, averaging 227 YPG through the air. He's thrown for 18 TDs and run for 5 too. His top target this season is WR Maurice Hampton, 4-star LSU DB commit. Hampton has been a weapon all over the field this year for the Owls, catching passes, and returning kicks and punts. Hampton is averaging nearly 180 all purpose YPG this season, with 12 total TDs through 6 games, and at least 2 TDs in all but 1 game this year. On defense, he's been exceptional at DB, registering 18 tackles, 6 passes defended, and 1 sack. Simply put, Maurice Hampton is the key to MUS' success so far, and the key to another win this week.
Even without Hampton, MUS' defense has been phenomenal all year long. They've shut out three opponents, and are giving up an average of 9.1 PPG. The defense's strength comes from the linebackers. Leading the way is 3-star LB Dorian Hopkins (2017 Mr. Football winner) with 39 tackles and 9.0 TFL, LB Jack Dabov with 35 tackles and 11.0 TFL, and LB Matthew Rhodes with 33 tackles and 10.0 TFL. That trio of backers has stopped the run and pass all year, and made it very difficult for opponents' offenses to get any kind of a rhythm.
For Briarcrest, they have a fairly balanced offense. They've run for 193 YPG and thrown for 140 YPG through 7 games this season. QB Jackson Walker has been solid this year with 12 TDs and 4 INTs. He's also added 187 rushing yards and 3 TDs. However, the real power comes from the dynamic run game. Junior RB Jabari Small leads the way this year with 103 YPG on the ground, and 8 TDs, while adding 2 TDs through the air. Behind Small, is junior RB Carrington Kelsey, who has tallied 259 yards and 3 TDs. Marlon Hampton has also been stellar, with 237 yards on the ground in 7 games. In order to have a chance versus the Owls' outstanding defense, Briarcrest will have to find a way to balance their offense, but rely on the running game to step up big at least once on Friday.
Through 7 games, the Saints have given up an average of 17.1 PPG. They've been clutch when they've been called upon, as seen by two clutch wins by a combined 3 points. However, they've struggled some against the better teams on their schedule. If Briarcrest is going to win on Friday night, their defense is going to have to find a way to slow MUS' offense as much as possible. With the success that Sellers Shy and Maurice Hampton have had this season, shutting MUS down entirely seems like a bit of a stretch. However, everytime Hampton is taken out of a play, that eliminates the Owls' biggest weapon. To me, the name of the game for Briarcrest on Friday, is damage control. Plain and simple. If Briarcrest wants a shot at a good playoff seed, this game is a must win. A win for MUS all but solidifies their #1 seed for the West District of DII-AAA.
Kickoff is Friday night, October 12th at 7 PM, at MUS.

United States Supreme Court
March 19, 2018
ABEL DANIEL HIDALGOv.ARIZONA
petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.
Statement of JUSTICE BREYER, with whom JUSTICE Ginsburg,
Justice Sotomayor, and Justice Kagan join, respecting the
denial of certiorari.
petition in this capital case asks an important Eighth
Amendment question:
"Whether Arizona's capital sentencing scheme, which
includes so many aggravating circumstances that virtually
every defendant convicted of first-degree murder is eligible
for death, violates the Eighth Amendment." Pet. for
Cert. (i).
capital punishment cases under the Eighth Amendment address
two different aspects of the capital decisionmaking process:
the eligibility decision and the selection decision."
Tuilaepa v. California, 512 U.S. 967, 971 (1994).
States must comply with requirements for each decision. See
Kansas v. Marsh, 548 U.S. 163, 173-174 (2006)
("Together, our decisions in Furman v. Georgia,
408 U.S. 238 (1972) (per curiam), and Gregg v.
Georgia, 428 U.S. 153 (1976) (joint opinion of Stewart,
Powell, and Stevens, JJ.), establish that a state capital
sentencing scheme must" comport with requirements for
each decision).
respect to the first, the "eligibility decision, "
our precedent imposes what is commonly known as the
"narrowing" requirement. "To pass
constitutional muster, a capital sentencing scheme must
'genuinely narrow the class of persons eligible for the
death penalty and must reasonably justify the imposition of a
more severe sentence on the defendant compared to others
found guilty of murder.'" Lowenfield v.
Phelps, 484 U.S. 231, 244 (1988) (quoting Zant v.
Stephens, 462 U.S. 862, 877 (1983)). To satisfy the
"narrowing requirement, " a state
legislature must adopt "statutory
factors which determine death eligibility" and
thereby "limit the class of murderers to which the death
penalty may be applied." Brown v. Sanders, 546
U.S. 212, 216, and n. 2 (2006) (emphasis added); see also
Tuilaepa, supra, at 979 ("'Once the jury
finds that the defendant falls within the
legislatively defined category of persons eligible
for the death penalty, . . . the jury then is free to
consider a myriad of factors to determine whether death is
the appropriate punishment'" (quoting California
v. Ramos, 463 U.S. 992, 1008 (1983); emphasis added));
Lowenfield, supra, at 246 (specifying that the
"legislature" may provide for the
"narrowing function" by statute (emphasis added));
Zant, supra, at 878 ("[S]tatutory
aggravating circumstances play a constitutionally necessary
function at the stage of legislative definition:
they circumscribe the class of persons eligible for the death
penalty" (emphasis added)).
second aspect of the capital decisionmaking process, the
"selection decision, " determines whether a
death-eligible defendant should actually receive the death
penalty. Tuilaepa, supra, at 972. In making this
individualized determination, the jury must "consider
relevant mitigating evidence of the character and record of
the defendant and the circumstances of the crime."
Ibid.; see also Marsh, supra, at 173-174
("[A] state capital sentencing system must . . . permit
a jury to render a reasoned, individualized sentencing
determination based on a death-eligible defendant's
record, personal characteristics, and the circumstances of
his crime"). This second aspect of the capi- tal
punishment decision-the selection requirement-is not before
precedent makes clear that the legislature may satisfy the
"narrowing function ... in either of . . . two
ways." Lowenfield, 484 U.S., at 246. First,
"[t]he legislature may itself narrow the definition
of capital offenses Ibid, (emphasis added). Second,
"the legislature may more broadly define capital
offenses, " but set forth by statute "aggravating
circumstances" which will permit the "jury ... at
the penalty phase" to make "findings" that
will narrow the legislature's broad definition of the
capital offense. Ibid.; see also Tuilaepa,
supra, at 972 ("The aggravating circumstance may be
contained in the definition of the crime or in a separate
sentencing factor (or in both)"). The petitioner here,
Abel Daniel Hidalgo, contends that the Arizona Legislature
has failed to satisfy the narrowing requirement through
either of these two methods.
the first way a state legislature may satisfy the
Constitution's narrowing requirement-namely, by enacting
a narrow statutory definition of capital murder. Some States
have followed this approach. For example, in
Lowenfield, this Court upheld Louisiana's use of
this method because it concluded that the State's capital
murder statute narrowed the class of intentional murderers to
a smaller class of death-eligible murderers. 484 U.S., at
246. Specifically, Louisiana's capital murder statute was
limited to cases in which "'the offender'"
not only had "'specific intent to kill or to inflict
great bodily harm'" but also (1) targeted one of
three specifically enumerated categories of victims
(children, "'a fireman or peace officer
engaged'" in "'lawful duties, '"
or multiple victims); or (2) was "'engaged in the
perpetration or attempted perpetration of" certain other
serious specified crimes; or (3) was a murder-for-hire.
Id., at 242 (quoting La. Rev. Stat. Ann.
§§14:30(A)(1)-(5) (West 1986)). The
Lowenfield Court also noted that Texas' capital
murder statute "narrowly defined the categories of
murder for which a death sentence could be imposed." 484
U.S., at 245; see also Jurek v. Texas, 428 U.S. 262,
271 (1976) (joint opinion of Stewart, Powell, and Stevens,
JJ.) (upholding the Texas capital murder statute, which made
"a smaller class of murders in Texas" death
the Louisiana and Texas statutes, Arizona's capital
murder statute makes all first-degree murderers eligible for
death and defines first-degree murder broadly to include all
premeditated homicides along with felony murder based on 22
possible predicate felony offenses. See Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann.

Peace Wapiti Academy (PWA) students enroled in Grade 9 French and Spanish courses will be exposed to nine different languages this year, thanks to a new 'Fantastic Fridays' initiative developed by teacher Sheryl Deimert to enhance her students' second language experience. The classes have already received special presentations in German, French and Spanish. On Thursday and Friday, January 18-19, PWA's Grade 10 American Sign Language (ASL) class shared their language skills. Within minutes, the Grade 9 students were able to sign the alphabet and basic statements and questions, including "My name is…" and "How are you?" Students put their skills to the test during a "speed dating" event, forming two lines to participate in one-on-one conversations. Upcoming Fantastic Friday language days will include exposure to Arabic, Korean and Japanese. In March, GPRC's Cree language instructor Darlene Horseman will offer a presentation that will include videos made by her students. The Fantastic Friday series will wrap up in June with a Mandarin session. -30-

President-elect Donald TrumpDonald John TrumpOklahoma City Thunder players kneel during anthem despite threat from GOP state lawmaker Microsoft moving forward with talks to buy TikTok after conversation with Trump Controversial Trump nominee placed in senior role after nomination hearing canceled MORE recently reaffirmed his plans to abandon the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a treaty that links the United States with 11 Pacific Rim economies. He argues that trade agreements are a "disaster" for American workers and should be scrapped.
Many trade lawyers and economists disagree. They caution that retreating from the global economy reduces the market access enjoyed by American exporters and raises the costs that consumers pay at home.
Which side of this argument is right?
The true value of trade agreements is often overlooked. Treaties like the TPP are about far more than market liberalization. They provide a vital diplomatic tool through which the U.S. promotes its broader foreign policy agenda. As such, abandoning these commitments is not just an economic mistake — it fundamentally limits America's role in the international community.
Consider the contents of modern trade treaties.
Treaty mandates expanded significantly after the creation of the World Trade Organization. Prior to 1995, most treaties were little more than a schedule of tariff concessions. They included very few issues not related directly to trade. Recent deals, by contrast, govern a wide variety of policies.
The TPP is no exception. Numbering 5,000 pages, it touches on a range from human rights and labor regulations to product safety standards and intellectual property. In fact, the same is true of all U.S. agreements, including the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, the proposed deal between the U.S. and the European Union.
Including these diverse provisions may seem unnecessary. It isn't. The TPP offers the U.S. a way to extend its domestic regulations to key trade partners.
Note, for example, that TPP exports stringent domestic regulations relating to bribery and other forms of corruption. The goal is promoting transparency and good governance among trade partners through the TPP's additional monitoring and enforcement mechanisms. The deal also ensures that the legal rights that U.S. firms enjoy at home are protected abroad, helping insulate American enterprises from some of the risks associated with doing business overseas. The agreement even helps guarantee that animal and plant products meet U.S. health and safety standards.
Why are these features relevant to American interests?
The TPP's rules aren't just important because they facilitate trade. They harmonize policies and stabilize relations between the U.S. and its key partners. It's no coincidence that the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative stresses the TPP's strategic benefits. The agreement ensures that America plays an active part in shaping international law.
Of course, not everyone is happy with the TPP's broad mandate. Trump and his supporters claim that trade agreements overreach and that the U.S. has forfeited too much sovereignty by signing similar treaties. But that logic is flawed for two reasons.
First, trade agreements are not imposed upon the U.S. against its will. If anything, the opposite is true. The U.S. heavily influences the terms of its commitments. In fact, America's heavy hand in designing the TPP is precisely why global leaders are reacting to Trump with dismay, with some calling it "meaningless" if the U.S. steps away.
Such responses are no surprise. The TPP is a U.S.-led initiative and it can only work effectively with America's participation. For evidence, look no further than the nervous reactions many Pacific Rim leaders had to the contentious "fast track" renewal process in June 2015. Their fear was precisely that Congress would torpedo the deal by endangering U.S. involvement.
Second, critics ignore the larger geopolitical implications of tearing up the agreement.
The TPP is partly an artifact of the Obama administration's "pivot" to East Asia. This policy marked an effort to solidify U.S. influence in Asia and to balance against China. Whatever his political differences with Obama, Trump should see the virtues of retaining America's diplomatic foothold in the region.
Trump took every opportunity to criticize China during his campaign. If he is truly concerned with China, then his strategy is irrational. Abandoning the TPP would mean leaving Asia in the hands of his supposed rival. The results can only harmful for American interests.
TPP does not stop Japan's currency manipulation & China has a backdoor to join. It must be stopped. We need to protect the American worker!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 19, 2015
How should Trump proceed?
Certainly no one argues that the TPP is perfect. Implementation and enforcement issues can endanger the effectiveness of any trade agreement. The TPP cannot promise to solve all labor rights abuses or to reverse environmental degradation. There is still a reasonable debate to be had about these issues and others.
But trade agreements do not have to be perfect. A rules-based system is better than an economic and political Wild West. The U.S. should continue to help write the rules of the game.
This is Trump's principal mistake. He thinks that the U.S. can still score points while sitting on the sidelines. That strategy is going to backfire. Critics of free trade should be less worried about forfeiting U.S. sovereignty and be more worried about throwing away an opportunity to promote America's regulatory and geopolitical influence.
That way, even if American firms don't win every game, at least they aren't playing under someone else's rules.

I've been struggling with mapping the XMLids for Surewest Kansas City to the proper QAM channels. I can only find the surewest logical channels listed online anywhere, but nowhere have I been able to find a list of the surewest logical mapping to the actual channel mapping. I've been at it for about 6-8 weeks, and have managed to get about 20 HD channels mapped to the correct xmltv ids, but at this rate I figure it'll take me another year or two to get all the clear QAM HD channels mapped. Does anyone know where I can obtain a list of surewest actual clear QAM HD channel mappings to xmltv ids used by schedulesdirect?
I do have an extra Cisco Explorer 4652HDC supplied by surewest that I could use, IF I could figure out how to get to an info screen that shows the actual channel mapping.
I'd much appreciate ANY help!

I was going to start this post with the phrase, "I think we can all agree that taking a selfie while driving is very stupid," but according to new data from the Auto Insurance Center, that's not really the case. The company combed 70,000 Instagram posts that use hashtags associated with selfies taken while driving to get an idea of where the hotspots are for this kind of ridiculous behavior.
As you can see below, California tops the charts for number of posts per 100,000 residents, with Nevada and Florida close behind. New Jersey checks in at number seven, which is particularly terrifying to me as a person who has spent a lot of time driving around the Garden State.
The lowest adjusted incident rate comes from Mississippi, followed by Oklahoma and Ohio. Nice job, there.
There's actually quite a bit of interesting analysis in the full post, even if it isn't exactly perfect science.
So, probably best to leave the camera alone while driving. After all, if you have to post with the hashtag #hopeidontcrash, it's probably a really bad idea.

Brain Tumour Takes Josh Lenartowicz Out of 2019 Olympia!
We all were expecting to see Josh Lenartowicz to step on stage to compete at the 2019 Mr. Olympia, in just over a week. However, after seeing his interview with Tony Doherty, he explains why he will not be competing.
Josh Lenartowicz walked away with a win at the 2019 IFBB Big Man Weekend Pro Bodybuilding Show, which earned him a place on the most prestigious stage in all of professional bodybuilding. He was among the select few athletes selected to compete at the 2019 Mr. Olympia. However, he shocked the industry when he announced that he will no longer be able to compete at this year's competition.
After Josh made this announcement, he sat down with Tony Doherty, of IFBB Pro League Australia. The two of them discussed why Josh will not be competing at this year's Olympia. At first, they discussed how everything was going great for Lenartowicz during his prep. Josh then explains that things started going south, when he noticed a lump developing on his head.
"Yeah, it was tiny, and I started getting these headaches, and I never get headaches. and that was a concern for me. So, I went and saw a [General Physician] and they kind of said to just take some aspirin and see a dermatologist.
I went home and couldn't sleep really. So, I said 'no, something's definitely up.' I went back, and asked for a referral, and it came back with a scan that said I have a tumor in my skull
It was very rare, it's the rarest tumor you can get, and I didn't think it was in my family. But my middle brother, who doesn't train or anything like that, had it at 18 years old."
Lenartowicz explained that he was to have surgery and would only be out for a day. Doherty then explained that upon waking, Josh had a brain seizure. After that, Lenartowicz explains that they were trying to wake him after the seizure. However, the method they were using to wake him, caused fluid to enter his lungs. At this time, medical staff put him into a medically induced coma. He further explained that due to his size, the doctors were having hard time finding a strong enough dosage to subdue Lenartowicz.
"Yeah, I had a seizure. Which, speaking to the neurosurgeon, it's common. It's not rare to happen, so that's the thing. So, it's rare that it happened to me, in the circumstance that my neurosurgeon hasn't had a seizure in a very long time. He backtracks it to when I was younger, and I had meningitis. He said that kind of alters your brain a little bit. When you're under stress, then you could have a seizure.
So, that happened. Basically, what happened in my head, was that I went in for the surgery, and 8 or 10 days later, I can't remember. It was 8 days later, I wake up, and my wife was telling me that I had been in a coma for that whole time."
At this time, conversation switched to how this development would affect Josh's ability to compete at the Olympia. The time frame was too short, and Lenartowicz was unable to walk properly at first. Add to that the fact that Lenartowicz spent 8-10 days without proper diet and exercise, he knew he would be not be able to attend this year. Josh agreed that it would be better for his health to take the time to rest, and not risk damaging his body further.
Josh Lenartowicz has had a tough time the last few years. From this serious health scare, to dealing with the loss of his close friend Dallas McCarver, things have not been easy. Hopefully, this necessary break will allow Josh the time to recover from this scary health incident.
All of us here at Muscle Insider wish Josh a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the Mr. Olympia stage next year!

Check out our Useful guide published in the Hampton and Stanground Gazettes here
Business Expenses for the Freelance or Self Employed
If you're self-employed or work on a freelance basis, your business will have various running costs. You can deduct some of these costs to reduce your taxable profit as long as they're allowable expenses. The lower your taxable profit the lower your tax bill at the end of the tax year; however, any errors could attract penalties and interest charges so it's important to get it right.
The following list details some of the more common expenses which are allowable by HMRC:
- Mobile Phone Costs
In addition to the usual office costs like stationery, postage, internet and line rental, which are all allowable expenses, you can claim some of your mobile phone costs as a business expense, the tricky bit is what proportion to claim as usually you will use your phone for both personal and business use.
What you should in theory do is go through one or two bills each year and work out your business use vs personal use – that will be the basis of what % of your total bill to claim as a business expense.
A more pragmatic approach that we suggest is that if you use your mobile phone heavily for business and just a bit personally then to claim perhaps 80% of the total costs for business would be fair and justifiable. However if you use it quite evenly for business and personally, then we would suggest claiming perhaps 50%.
What you need to remember is that you might have to justify this percentage to HMRC in the event of an enquiry, so keep a note of your workings and lean on the side of caution when it comes to what % to claim.
- Home Office costs
With so many businesses operating from home, it's important to ensure you have a sufficient home office cost put against your tax return. There are two ways to do this:
A simplified HMRC rate of £4/ week, which the HMRC will allow you to put through without any back up, or to apportion the actual home running costs – include costs such as mortgage interest (but not capital repayments), rental charge, Gas, Electricity, Insurance, Service Charges, Cleaning and Council tax and then work out a fair business %.
The simplest way of doing this is to firstly work out how many rooms you have in your house, then work out what % of the time you use one of the rooms for business use. Let's say you use one of your rooms as an office half the time and the other half it's a guest bedroom and say you have 5 rooms excluding bathrooms, hallways and kitchens. Say the total running costs of your house are £10,000p.a. then it would therefore be justifiable to charge £1,000 per year (50% x 1/5 x £10,000) to the business as rent.
Another tip is that you shouldn't use your office room entirely for business use – keep at least a small element of the room for personal use as this protects you from any potential capital gains tax issues when you come to sell.
- Travel and Vehicle Costs
All business travel between your 'Usual place of work' (which can be your home if you operate from home) and your business destination is allowable. Again you have two ways to do this – the simple flat rate of £0.45/ mile for cars up to 10,000 miles and then £0.25/mile after 10,000 miles (you must keep a record of the business journeys you are claiming for) or to record the actual running costs of a car or other vehicle including fuel, road tax, insurance, repairs and servicing adjusted for the business proportion of total miles the vehicle is used for. You can choose whichever method gives you the best tax saving.
Non-Allowable Expenses
Money taken from your business to pay for private purchases is not an allowable expense and neither is entertaining (client or staff) even if you spend the entire time talking about work!
If there are any elements that you would like further clarification, speak to Polly for a free initial chat.

So this question wanted me to find two cyclical compounds that are 'structural' isomers of the molecular formula given in the question. The two isomers I came up with are: 1,2-dichlorocyclopropane and 1,1-dichloropropane since I thought that structural isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms. However, the mark scheme to this question states that the answer is: '(cis or trans) 1,2-dichloropopane', which is confusing to me since I thought that cis/trans isomers are stereoisomers and not structural isomers where stereoisomers are molecules with the same structural formula but different arrangements of atoms in space.
So is the mark scheme correct in it's solution?

Unfortunately, once you've gotten to that point, it's almost too late to try and remedy the problem. Rather, it's important to plan ahead during the lesson. Being proactive throughout the lesson will keep the last minute cram sessions to a minimum.
I've written previously about flexibility during the lesson, and how to capitalize on what we can control, but now I'd like to offer a few tips on how to maximize weekly lesson times.
How to Avoid Getting 'Bogged Down' When Teaching: Tips to Maximize Limited Lesson Time
1. Don't Skip Warm-Ups!: As tempting as it may be, these are essential to the lesson. Warm-ups help the student relax, settle in, and focus for the lesson ahead. Skipping warm-ups can negatively impact the entire lesson.
2. Gimme a Break: Kids have a hard time focusing for extended periods of time. If you expect a child to sit at the bench and be fully engaged for the entire lesson, you're going to be disappointed. To keep a fresh focus, taking a mid-lesson break to do some other music-related activity away from the bench will give the student fresh focus when they return, meaning that the end of the lesson will be more productive.
3. Stick to Your Guns: Do you have a timeline before you begin? Do you have a good idea of what you want to accomplish and how that's going to pan out over the timeframe of the lesson? If not, you're setting yourself up for disaster! Know what's on the list to accomplish before the lesson- and do your best to stick to that schedule. Flying by the seat of your pants never works- trust me!
4. Let it Alone: If you find yourself with limited time and a planned task to accomplish that you know you won't be able to get to- skip it! Yes, skip it! Instead, pull out another activity- a short game, worksheet, or do some sightreading. Trying to cram at the end won't do you or your student any good. Then, plan to hit that area first the following week.
As teachers, we have to be insightful, sensitive, and intuitive. When do we spend a bit more time focusing on a certain aspect, when is it best to move on? Is a student engaged, do they need a break? Are they comprehending what I'm explaining or do I need to try a different approach? This is all part of what makes teaching such a challenge-- and what makes it so rewarding! I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you avoid last minute cramming at lessons and how you work to keep your students focused!

Dancers of Damelahamid is proud to announce the 12th annual Coastal Dance Festival (formerly Coastal First Nations Dance Festival), a celebration of Indigenous stories, song, and dance from Canada and abroad, February 20–24, 2019, in the state-of-the-art Anvil Centre in New Westminster. Audiences will be treated to a dynamic selection of Northwest Coast and international Indigenous artistry through ancestral and innovative performances, and educational offerings. Highlights include the world premiere of an excerpt of Dancers of Damelahamid's Mînowin, a new commission from the National Arts Centre's inaugural National Creation Fund, Australia's Jo Clancy and the Wagana Aboriginal Dancers, and Montreal's Émilie Monnet and Nahka Bertrand.
"This is a year of change for Coastal Dance Festival," says Festival Executive & Artistic Director Margaret Grenier. "With MOA's Great Hall undergoing seismic upgrades, we are delighted to have found a new home for 2019 at the Anvil Centre — a vibrant space that is an ideal backdrop for this year's inventive program. Additionally, we are thrilled to announce our new name; we have re-branded to better represent the festival's inclusivity of Indigenous cultures around the world while still maintaining a focus on the longstanding tradition of Northwest Coast Indigenous dance. The festival shines a light on strong threads of Indigenous feminism from British Columbia and beyond."
Coastal Dance Festival welcomes Indigenous artists from British Columbia, the Yukon, Quebec, Alaska, Washington state, and Australia.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued its long-awaited ruling on same-sex marriage today. By a slim 5-4 majority, the nation's highest court ruled that the 14th Amendment—which was put in place to protect the rights of former slaves in the wake of the Civil War—should be applied to make same-sex marriage the law of the land nationwide.
During the past few years, federal and appellate courts have overturned dozens of state laws and constitutional amendments put in place by voters and legislators, and it was only a matter of time before the Supreme Court finally weighed in on the issue. Now that they have ruled on one of the most controversial issues in our nation's history, many leaders have issued statements against the decision.
Many worry that religious liberty and freedom of speech protections for those who hold traditional views of marriage will be undermined by the decision. Others lament what they see as the demise of the democratic principles on which the country was founded, as a handful of unelected judges have tossed out the voice of millions of Americans as decided at the ballot box. Others still fear that this decision might be the beginning of something even more dangerous, another step down a path where the values and morality that have been at the core of America for centuries may soon become criminalized. Here are some of the most resonant statements.
1. Dr. Alex McFarland—Religion and Culture Expert, Author

"Today's atrocious Supreme Court decision took the definition of marriage out of the hands of the people—and out of the Bible. The fact is that marriage is biblical, it's a gift from God, and no one should have the power to change its definition or meaning because of societal trends and perceived cultural shifts. God was the first to define it in the Garden of Eden and He should be the last to define it. It's a sad commentary on society when nine human beings have the power to change God's laws for an entire nation."
"Even in spite of the decision, states must now work to protect the religious rights of their residents. Freedom is nothing without the right to make decisions and act accordingly on faith-based beliefs, if a person so chooses."
2. Sam Rohrer—President of the American Pastors Network and the Pennsylvania Pastors Network
"This landmark decision had deep biblical, historical and constitutional roots, and unfortunately our justices chose to redefine marriage for the entire nation, ignoring other constitutional rights and opening the door to a dangerous infringement on religious liberties. The fact that this issue even made it to the Supreme Court of the United States was an indictment against American Christians and against American churches. Even though some churches have sought to blend into the culture rather than change it, this ruling serves as a wake-up call for pastors and churches who are committed to being the salt and light of our society and standing up for truth.
"This is just the beginning, and as the culture continues to change—and move even further away from the truth of God's Word and from our constitutional roots—it is crucial that pastors and churches know the truth, speak the truth and live the truth, doing all they can to preserve God's Word and protect the religious liberties of Christians across the nation."
3. Jim Campbell—Senior Legal Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom
"The Supreme Court has stripped all Americans of our freedom to debate and decide marriage policy through the democratic process. The freedom to democratically address the most pressing social issues of the day is the heart of liberty. The court took that freedom from the people and overrode the considered judgment of tens of millions of Americans who recently reaffirmed marriage as the union of a man and a woman. The court cast aside the understanding of marriage's nature and purpose that diverse cultures and faiths across the globe have embraced for millennia."
4. Reince Priebus—Chairman of the Republican National Committee
"The Supreme Court failed to recognize the states' constitutional role in setting marriage policy, instead finding a federal role where there is none. In doing so, they have taken power away from the states and from the people to settle the relevant issues for themselves.
"Even though the Supreme Court has spoken with finality, there remains a diversity of opinions about marriage policy—from those celebrating today's ruling to those concerned about the constitutional balance of power.
"As a Party, we believe in the importance of traditional marriage between a man and a woman and remain committed to finding common ground to champion the family's role in society. Marriage is critically important to strengthening our country and our communities. Likewise, we will remain champions of religious liberty. Today's ruling cannot and must not be used to coerce a church or religious institution into performing marriages that their faith does not recognize. We should respect the sincerely held religious views of our fellow citizens, just as we respect those on the winning side of this case."
5. Rev. Samuel Rodriguez—President of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference
"Today's SCOTUS decision redefining marriage serves as a defacto and legal catalyst for the marginalization of Americans who embrace a biblical worldview.
"Still, we affirm the Court's recognition to uphold proper protection of religious organizations and persons, under the First Amendment rights, as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to continue the family structure they have long revered.
"As children of the Cross, committed to biblical truth, we affirm the biblical definition of marriage as a sacred union between one man and one woman.
"At the same time, as Christ followers committed to the loving gospel of Jesus, we reject and repudiate all vestiges of homophobia, intolerance and bigotry.
"Accordingly, we must all work arduously to recognize the image of God in every individual, without exception, while simultaneously building a firewall against intolerance and bigotry toward followers of Christ who preach truth with love.
"For at the end of the day, I know for certain, that the moment biblical truth stands defined as hate speech in our nation, America, as we know her, will cease to exist."
6. Alveda King—Civil Rights Activist, Author and Niece of Martin Luther King Jr.
"The Supreme Court has spoken and ruled from a position of common law—human law—that gay and lesbian couples have a fundamental right to marry. This is the highest rule that humans can make. Yet this is not the final word.
"In the end, natural law, God's law will always trump common law. Do not fear or be confused or deceived. Remain prayerful. Keep looking up. God will have the final Word in this matter.
"Don't be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant" (Gal. 6:7, NLT).

Just this week I have re-established contact with Karen, and both she and Silken are holding up despite the traumatic events that have ripped their lives from under them. I am sure that this is excellent news for many of my readers, as it is for me!
Here is one email that I received earlier today:
I worked with Peter when he was the GM at the Delta Hotel in Richmond, BC.
Following your blog was very interesting. I know Karen and Silken just from meetings at the hotel. I am worried for them both. I also know of Tom Matthews and Ellen Walker Matthews
Do you have any news as to the whereabouts of Peter? After Karen and Silken were evicted, I have lost contact with Karen.
Thanks for any update you are able to give me.

Double world, Olympic and European champion betters two-mile mark while Lynsey Sharp beats top field to also claim victory at Diamond League meeting
Mo Farah delighted the Sainsbury's Birmingham Grand Prix crowds on Sunday as he dominated the two-mile event, smashing the European record with 8:07.85.
Talk before the race had been on how the double world, Olympic and European champion would surely have Steve Ovett's almost 36-year-old British two-mile record of 8:13.51 in his sights but not only did Farah better that mark, but a four-minute flat second mile helped him on his way to break the European best too.
The 31-year-old crossed the line almost 15 seconds clear of his nearest rival – Zane Robertson of New Zealand – as Kenya's Emmanuel Kipkemei Bett was third with 8:25.55. Andy Vernon, who finished second behind winner Farah in the European 10,000m and third behind him in the 5000m in Zurich, ran 8:27.55 for sixth as their fellow Brits Tom Farrell Jonny Hay, Tom Lancashire and Lee Emanuel filled the places from eighth to 11th.
"I was a bit tired going into it so I had to push myself to get that win, but once I got into it, I got better and better," said Farah. "I was looking at the clock thinking 'I can do it'.
"Last week (the European Championships) has definitely given me a lot of confidence," he added. "I know I have a lot of speed on that last lap."
Fresh from claiming her Commonwealth and European 800m silver medals, Lynsey Sharp returned to the track to claim a number of big scalps. The Scottish athlete clocked 1:59.14 for her second-quickest ever time to beat world champion Eunice Sum of Kenya – the athlete Sharp finished behind in Glasgow – and USA's world bronze medallist Brenda Martinez, the pair clocking 1:59.42 and 1:59.56 respectively. In fourth, Sharp's fellow Scot Laura Muir ran a personal best of 2:00.67.
Kenya's world and Olympic 1500m gold medallist Asbel Kiprop ran a meeting record in the Emsley Carr Mile event, his 3:51.89 enough to see him cross the line clear ahead of world indoor 1500m champion Ayanleh Souleiman of Djibouti with 3:52.07. With 3:58.06 Britain's Charlie Grice finished 14th.
In the women's two-mile event, Ethiopia's Genzebe Dibaba was back in action after she was beaten by American Jenny Simpson in the Stockholm 1500m a few days before but she was again out-run in the closing stages as Kenya's Commonwealth 5000m champion Mercy Cherono clocked 9:11.49 for victory. Behind her, her compatriots Viola Kibiwot and Irene Jelagat ran 9:12.59 and 9:12.90 respectively as Dibaba ran 9:14.28 for fourth. Britain's Emelia Gorecka and Laura Whittle placed 12th and 13th with respective 9:43.22 and 9:49.75 clockings.
There was another exciting battle over the bar in the men's high jump as world and European high jump champion Bohdan Bondarenko of Ukraine and Qatar's world indoor gold medallist Mutaz Essa Barshim both cleared the winning height of 2.38m – a meeting record – but failed their three attempts at 2.41m and Barshim claimed the victory on countback.
Also out in the field and New Zealand's shot put star Valerie Adams extended her unbeaten streak to 55 competitions, her first throw of 19.96m her best to claim victory ahead of Germany's Christina Schwanitz, while Olympic triple jump champion Christian Taylor leapt his best in the final round of the long jump to move from fifth to first and beat Commonwealth silver medallist Zarck Visser of South Africa by just one centimetre – 8.09m to 8.08m. Britain's Greg Rutherford – gold medallist ahead of Visser in Glasgow – leapt a best of 8.04m for fourth as just eight centimetres separated the top five.
World, Olympic and now Commonwealth gold medallist Kirani James of Grenada was the man to beat in the 400m and although Botswana's Isaac Makwala came closest in the closing stages, James still easily crossed clear, clocking 44.59 to his rival's 45.02. Britain's European champion Martyn Rooney ran 45.25 in third as his compatriot Matt Hudson-Smith – silver medallist behind Rooney in Zurich – looked tired in seventh.
World champion Christine Ohuruogu returned from her fourth-place finish at the European Championships to clock 51.40 to win the non-Diamond League race in Birmingham. Behind her, fellow Briton Kelly Massey clocked a 51.96 PB for fifth as Anyika Onuora equalled that time in sixth and Shana Cox ran 52.76 for eighth.
Kenya's world 800m record-holder David Rudisha admitted he was disappointed not to have got a bit closer to Johnny Gray's 1:12.81 world 600m record but he cruised to victory with 1:13.71 – the fourth quickest time in history for the rarely-run distance. Behind him, Poland's European champion Adam Kszczot clocked 1:14.69 as Kyle Langford clocked 1:16.30 in seventh to break the UK junior record.
Kenya's Jairus Kipchoge Birech ran a meeting record in the men's 3000m steeplechase despite coming to a complete stop ahead of the final barrier as he misjudged it and had to put his hands on top to hop over before resuming his run to clock 8:07.80 as his compatriots also filled the next six places.
Olympic silver medallist in 2008 Kerron Stewart of Jamaica ran 11.22 to win the women's 100m from France's Myriam Soumaré with 11.25 as Britain's Asha Philip – part of the gold medal-winning GB 4x100m relay team in Zurich – was third with 11.26. She was followed over the line by relay team-mate Ashleigh Nelson with 11.27 as USA's Tori Bowie pulled up before limping off of the track.
Jamaica's Kemar Bailey-Cole was dominant in the men's 100m, the Commonwealth champion clocking 10.08 ahead of compatriot Nesta Carter. Britain's Chijindu Ujah – third over 100m at the Stockholm Diamond League on Thursday – ran 10.23 for fourth, as Harry Aikines-Aryeetey clocked 10.34 in sixth.
A Jamaican athlete claimed victory in the men's 200m too, as Nickel Ashmeade clocked 20.33 in a close race, Panama's Alonso Edward just behind him with 20.35. Britain's James Ellington ran 20.93 for sixth.
There was a repeat of the Commonwealth top two in the women's 400m hurdles as Jamaica's Kaliese Spencer beat Scottish athlete Eilidh Child – 53.80 to 54.89 – while Dawn Harper-Nelson won the sprint hurdles event in 12.66 from fellow American Queen Harrison with 12.70. Olympic champion Sally Pearson of Australia was third with 12.85, one place ahead of Britain's European champion Tiffany Porter with 12.93.
Fresh from winning the discus competition at the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial in Poland the day before, Germany's Olympic, world and European champion Robert Harting saved his best until last to also win in Birmingham – 67.57m his winning throw. One jump was all it took for world champ Caterine Ibargüen of Colombia to claim victory in the triple jump, 14.52m her best. That win also secured her the overall Diamond League victory. The women's pole vault was won by Greek vaulter Katerina Stefanidi with a best clearance of 4.57m, while Olympic and European champion Barbora Špotáková was handed a rare defeat in the javelin as Canada's Elizabeth Gleadle – 12th in the London Olympics – threw 64.49m to beat the Czech thrower's 62.89m.

The motion control is extremely accurate and this screwdriver will probably save your wrists from carpal-tunnel if you are doing A LOT of precision screw-driving!
I think it was made for me because I'm very excited about how helpful it's been
HQ, very cool, handy.
Excellent tool for precision work. Don't expect enough torque to pull out tight screws, which is actually a good thing for precision work as it prevents accidental stripping. Magnetic tip and speed control based on how much you twist your wrist make for an intuitive and easy tool without giving it a second thought. Unlike cheaper tools, its small diameter makes it work anywhere I use a normal small precision screwdriver.
amazing, this has saved me hours and hours of work bolting together printers

Heb 10:24-25
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Heb 10:24-25
Names of God
What Guys Think About Modesty
Sermon is titled, "The Soul of Modesty" by CJ Mahaney.
Numbers 6:22-27
Lacho Eli - To You My God
He has a real talent - Boaz Mauda. Makes me think of King David in the bible. I wonder if he sang like this. Israel is indeed the prince of The True God. Bless his people.
James King West writes: "In II Chronicles 33:10-20 we are given an account of how the wicked king Manasseh, after being taken captive to Babylon by the Assyrians, repented and was restored to his kingdom, where he proceeded to undo much of the mischief he had done in his apostate days. Special mention is made in verses 18 and 19 of Manasseh's prayer. Since the prayer. Since the prayer was not recorded by the Chronicler, an unknown writer of uncommon skill and piety has undertaken to supply the lack by means of this prayer." (Introduction to the Old Testament, pp. 470-471)
Daniel J. Harrington writes: "What were the words of Manasseh's prayer? Inquiring minds wanted to know. According to 2 Chronicles 33:18-19 the words were preserved in 'the Annals of the Kings of Israel' and in 'the records of the seers.' But neither of these books has been preserved. The Prayer of Manasseh represents what an anonymous author imagined that Manasseh should have said or would have said in his prayer.
Bible, King James Version
Prayer of Manasseh
O Lord, Almighty God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of their righteous seed; who hast made heaven and earth, with all the ornament thereof; who hast bound the sea by the word of thy commandment; who hast shut up the deep, and sealed it by thy terrible and glorious name; whom all men fear, and tremble before thy power; for the majesty of thy glory cannot be borne, and thine angry threatening toward sinners is importable: but thy merciful promise is unmeasurable and unsearchable; for thou art the most high Lord, of great compassion, longsuffering, very merciful, and repentest of the evils of men. Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned against thee: and of thine infinite mercies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved. Thou therefore, O Lord, that art the God of the just, hast not appointed repentance to the just, as to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which have not sinned against thee; but thou hast appointed repentance unto me that am a sinner: for I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea. My transgressions, O Lord, are multiplied: my transgressions are multiplied, and I am not worthy to behold and see the height of heaven for the multitude of mine iniquities. I am bowed down with many iron bands, that I cannot life up mine head, neither have any release: for I have provoked thy wrath, and done evil before thee: I did not thy will, neither kept I thy commandments: I have set up abominations, and have multiplied offences. Now therefore I bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace. I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, and I acknowledge mine iniquities: wherefore, I humbly beseech thee, forgive me, O Lord, forgive me, and destroy me not with mine iniquites. Be not angry with me for ever, by reserving evil for me; neither condemn me to the lower parts of the earth. For thou art the God, even the God of them that repent; and in me thou wilt shew all thy goodness: for thou wilt save me, that am unworthy, according to thy great mercy. Therefore I will praise thee for ever all the days of my life: for all the powers of the heavens do praise thee, and thine is the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
David A. deSilva writes: "The petition for forgiveness (vv. 11-13) begins with a beautiful image of humility of heart: 'I bend the knee of my heart.' This stands in marked contrast with the hubris that Manasseh displayed in his earlier disregard for God's prohibition of idolatry. Another acknowledgement of sin, 'I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned,' is poetically balanced by the supplication 'Forgive me, O Lord, forgive me' (vv. 12-13). The petition concludes by identifying God as the 'God of those who repent' (v. 13), which is an original way of describing God, a fine counterpoint to the 'God of the righteous' (v. 8) and an expression of the conviction that the God of all does not cease to be God of those who fail to walk in God's way. As their Creator and as the One who stands ready to forgive and restore those who humble themselves and turn aside from sinful ways, God remains 'their God.'" (Introducing the Apocrypha, p. 299)

Today is the official celebration of Easter. You've probably seen the ads and your kids have probably begged you for Easter candy, even if you don't celebrate for religious reasons. Growing up one of my favorite activities was the Easter egg hunt. Yes, we were a religious family, but there's something special about looking for hidden eggs, just like there is about Santa at Christmas. Why have an Easter egg hunt with your kids?
For one, it's fun your kids will want to do more than once. You'll be filling and hiding, or at the very least hiding, eggs for the next few months. It's one of those gifts that keep on giving. If you don't want to fill individual eggs you can give the child with the most eggs found a prize.
If you've got slightly older kids who get easily bored or don't have the same interest as younger kids in looking for eggs, just hide a few, maybe even some of the same color, around the house. It will be a bigger challenge for them and keep them interested for longer.
I do have a vote for the religious aspect, even if you're not very religious. Giving your kids the knowledge, or letting them choose whether to believe or not, is empowering for both you and them. It's great to be able to say to your kids "because [God] made it that way" when they ask you a particularly tricky question that you just don't have an answer to. It also helps kids understand why things don't always go their way and why not everything makes logical sense. Knowing there is something bigger, stronger and loving out there can help allay fears and provide reassurance of answers when there don't seem to be any.
Finally, I love the whole concept of eggs. You're looking for something, you're discovering what's inside and you're celebrating that discovery. Just like kids learn, discover and grow as they get older, these steps are important for them to be aware of, especially in this instant age. Sometimes the good stuff is wrapped in a little mystery, surrounded by a little work, but no matter how you get there, it's important to celebrate what you learn.
This Easter and this week ahead, hide some eggs with your kids, and discover the fun you can have together.
