During the first five centuries after its conception, the church was forced to deal with several different heresies concerning Christ. In fact, the church was forced to formulate a concise universal statement about the nature of Christ (Nicene Creed), because of the many differing heresies proposed during its infancy.
Most of these heresies centered around the nature of Christ, his humanity and divinity. How divine was Christ, really? How human was Christ, really? And how do these natures interact with one another?
In the next few blog posts, I want to consider a few of the more famous Christological heresies. In this post, I want to consider what is called the Apollinarian heresy:
By the fifth century, it became orthodox to believe that God in Christ had assumed a full human nature for our redemption. The eastern church had coined a phrase which is still prominent today: "God became man that man might become God" — and by that, they meant that God became fully man, that we might participate fully and redemptively in His very life. The thought was that if God wanted to assume and redeem mankind back into fellowship with him, he needed to become fully human in the incarnation to raise us back to glory.
One bishop name Apollinaris (after whom was named this heresy), however, was uncomfortable with affirming that God the Son became fully man. To him, to become fully man was to taint the divine nature.
Allister McGrath explains:
Apollinaris of Laodocia had anxieties about the increasingly widespread belief that the Logos (God the Son) assumed human nature in its entirety. It seemed to him that this implied that the Logos was contaminated by the weaknesses of human nature. How could the Son of God be allowed to be tainted by purely human directive principles? The sinlessness of Christ would be compromised, in Apollinaris' view, if he were to possess a purely human mind. Was not the human mind the source of sin and rebellion against God? Only if the human mind were to be replaced by a purely divine motivating and directing force could the sinlessness of Christ be maintained. For this reason, Apollinaris argued that, in Christ, a purely human mind and soul were replaced by a divine mind and soul: "The divine energy fulfills the role of the animative soul and of the human mind" in Christ. The human nature was thus incomplete. (Historical Theology, 47)
Apollinaris thus promoted the view that the divine nature of Christ "replaced" the human soul and mind, protecting him from the corruption of human sin. One can almost picture the human nature of Christ like a puppet. The problem with this view of course, was that it made Christ not fully human. He merely appeared to be human, but was in fact only outwardly human, not having a human mind or soul.
The early church rejected this notion for one massively important reason: if Christ was not fully human, he could not fully redeem the human race! If the goal of redemption was to welcome fully humanity back into fellowship with the Godhead, how can a half-human Christ redeem whole humanity?
Gregory of Nazianzus, theologian of the fourth century, replied famously to Apollinaris by saying: "what has not been assumed has not been healed". If Christ did not assume a "fallen" human mind, or soul, how can the mind and soul be redeemed? The answer is that it cannot!
McGrath explains:
For Gregory, only aspects of human nature which have been united to divinity in the incarnation are saved. If we are to be saved in the totality of our human nature, that totality must be brought into contact with the divinity. If Christ is only partly human, then salvation is not possible.(ibid, 49)
The biblical record of course agrees with this. Hebrews 2:17 says that Christ…
had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people".
Christ had to be made like his brothers "in every respect". What this means is that while God the Son had a fully divine nature, he also had a fully human nature. For this reason, Christians affirm that God the Son is one person with two natures. When asked who was acting in the person of Christ, we answer the eternal Logos. But when we ask about the what, we must reply: full divinity and full humanity.

Official synopsis
After the Baudelaires move in with Dr. Montgomery, a renowned expert in reptile behavior, their new guardian hires a frighteningly familiar assistant.
- For Beatrice –
- My love for you shall
live forever.
- You,however, did not.
The Baudelaires are taken to their originally intended guardian: Dr. Montgomery Montgomery. They arrive at an ornate mansion and are greeted by the doctor with pieces of coconut cream cake. As Montgomery or Monty gives the children a tour of their new home, they come across a picture of a piano with no one in it. It's the doctor's only proof that he knew their parents, explaining that the three of them were hiding in the piano and had unfortunately gotten locked in.
Monty shows the children his reptile room, which is filled with various types of reptiles. He introduces them to the Incredibly Deadly Viper who turns out to be not as deadly as it appears. It takes an instant liking to Sunny as it playfully curls around her. Monty encourages them to make themselves at home and to read as many of the books as they like. It looked like the Baudelaire children's luck was turning...
Until Monty's new assistant, Stephano, arrived at the front door. Stephano is really only a poorly disguised Olaf. The children lock themselves in the Reptile Room and wait there until Monty comes home from the running errands. Monty is possibly the only adult who believes them when they say that Stephano is Olaf. He and the children come up with a plan to get rid of him. They decide to go to the movies and watch a horribly named film called "Zombies in the Snow." Unknown to Stephano, there is a hidden message in the subtitles that instructs Monty to take the children to Peru on the SS Prospero.
After the movie, Monty is kidnapped by Olaf's henchman but not for long. He manages to get free and takes the children home so that they can plan their escape to Peru.

to be added
- Monty mentions the Dissonant Toad is soothed only by the music of Alexander Scriabin or early Sonic Youth.
- In the movie theater, Olaf insults a movie theatre as a "godforsaken nickelodeon". "Nickelodeon" was in fact a term for a neighborhood movie theatre that took a nickel as the admission fee. However, some fans believe this is Daniel Handler throwing shade at the film which was produced by Nickelodeon Movies, due to the fact that he wasn't allowed to work on it much and had mixed feelings about it.
- In the movie Zombies in the Snow, there are references to Gustav Sebald and Jacquelyn Scieszka (misspelled Jacqueline) in the credits.
- Doubling as a reference to the 2004 film and the entire Netflix series, Count Olaf breaks the fourth wall by saying that he prefers "long form television" to the movies, before turning to the camera and stating it is "more convenient to consume entertainment from the comfort of your own home" and grinning.
- Stefano is an anagram for Not Safe.

Deviations from the novel
- The Baudelaires all share a room in the episodes, when in the book they were each given their own.
- In the book, Monty hired Stephano. In the series, Stephano came over to his house uninvited.
- Monty has plans to go to Peru before Stephano arrives in the book rather than deciding to go after seeing the secret code in the movie.
- The Baudelaires simply walk away from Stephano after he threatens them in the book before getting scared in the Reptile Room. But here, he actually chases them and throws his knife at the door.
- Monty and the Baudelaires actually see Olaf throw the lamp down. In the book, none of them saw it, and he accuses Klaus of leaving it by the window.
- Monty seems to know who Count Olaf is (and was probably faking it to him so that he didn't raise suspiscion).
- In the book, Monty was oblivious to the Sebald code. Here, he knows it and tries to get it down. Also, he gets kidnapped by the white-faced women.
- About 10 minutes in, when Lemony Snicket is talking by a window, Hector's mobile home can be seen in the distance. (TV: "The Vile Village: Part Two", PROSE: The Vile Village)

Directed by Neeraj Pandey and starring Sushant Singh Rajput, MS Dhoni – The Untold Story, is one of the most awaited movies of this year. "Everyone wants to know the real story behind India's Captain Cool. It has been the talk of town ever since the teaser was launched," says Vaikundarajan.
The movie will soon be out and MS Dhoni is said to be a promotion team. Dhoni will be traveling with crew to promote the movie across 3 cities and interact with fans. "Dhoni is scheduled to visit Lovely Professional University in Jalandhar for the launch of trailer where he will also address over 35,000 fans," informs Vaikundarajan.
The crew will also travel to Delhi and Mumbai for the launch of the trailer. Fans should be excited about the promotion as they will not only get to interact with MS Dhoni but also with the star who dons his role onscreen. Over a small period of time, Sushant Singh Rajput has emerged as an actor of great potential and managed to garner his own fan base.
Director Neeraj Pandey has delivered superhit movies in last few years and audience will have high expectations from his next. The film is scheduled to release on September 30.
Vaikundarajan sends his best wishes to the entire film crew and hopes the film breaks all box office records.

As a faithful long time employee of the State of Georgia, I am celebrating my first furlough day by, what else? spending money! Actually, I have been secretly excited about this day for a while. I don't know about you, but it's really hard to take a day off for no good reason. Most of the time I am going on vacation, sick, or tacking it on to a long weekend. I never take a day off in the middle of the week. Well, thanks to the recent recesssion, depression, economic turndown, whatever you want to call it, I get a whole day off smack dab in the middle of the week.
Today, I am getting my hair done. My roots are 3 inches long and screaming for some beautiful red hair coloring. After that, I am going to have a little retail therapy, and hopefully find an argyle sweater. Why? I have no explanation other than I have really fallen in love with those crazy diamond sweaters and want one. Maybe it's the cool in the air. After that I am meeting the prettiest man in Putnam county and going to lunch.
I have no complaints about my furlough day......at least not until payday!

That one small hour
Now that I have come to terms with Leslie driving (which basically means I am no longer stalking her every move once she leaves the driveway) I am beginning to realize the benefit of no longer being the main Welch chauffeur.
Every morning I have an hour that is totally mine. The girls leave the house at 7:30, then Wayne follows after that leaving me all alone. I have one hour of uninterrupted peace and tranquility. It's my favorite part of the day. I can do whatever I want in the hour. I can leisurely get ready for work, with the Today show blaring in the background. Or I can sit out on my porch drinking my second cup of coffee and read or watch the squirrels play. I can even do laundry and clean up the kitchen. I usually waste it on the internet, reading my favorite blogs. But its my hour. That one small hour makes all the difference in my day!

Fall Reads
I'm gearing up for some fall reading. What is better than a cool afternoon on my porch wrapped up in a blanket with a cup of coffee and a good book? Here is my list of books I want to read this fall:
1. Mad Church Disease by Anne Jackson. Who is not been burnt or burned out that has worked in church? My sister, recuperating herself from burnout suggested this book.
2)Forgotten God by Frances Chan. His first book, Crazy Love has got to be one of my all time favorites! I love his writing style. He's blunt, and soul searching.
3)Handle With Care by Jodi Picoult. My sister got me totally hooked on her about a year ago. I have to admit, the last book I read, Harvesting the Heart was a bit of a dud, but I am usually deaf, dumb and blind to anything else in the world when I'm reading her.
4)Finally Alive by John Piper. Piper, oh how I love to read his books. They are deep, but rich. It takes me forever to get through them, but you are so more aware of who God is after reading his works.
5)Religion Saves and Nine Other Misconceptions by Mark Driscoll. He is my absolute favorite preacher in 2009! I listen to his Sunday sermon every Monday. He is relevant, but uncompromising. I love his blunt manner.
What are you reading this fall?

Go get your praise on
I have been thinking about this all week.......What is the chief end of man? Yeah I know pretty heavy duty thinking. According to the Westminster catechism. It's to honor God and love Him forever.
I had a thought this week that I could not seem to shake and the more I thought it the more I realize it was a question from God to me........
What is church really all about?........Learning? Outreach? Worship? Fellowship? Is church about what I do? Or is it about what I get when I'm there? Is the morning hour wasted if no one accepts Christ? Is it wasted if I don't learn? These are good thoughts to meditate on. It should drive me to Scripture to find answers.
Revelations 4:11- You created everything, and it is for your pleasure they exist and were created. News flash. I was created for God's pleasure. My worship is more about him and less about me. He's most honored when I have filled up in my heart with how good He is.
Romans 12:1- Present yourself to him as an act of worship. Worship is not doing for God. It's being for God. When I realize that there isn't much I can do for Him to impress Him, that's when I realize it's more about knowing Him. I'm not "saving" anyone. He does that. God's much more happy with me when I'm am longing to know Him with all I have. All my acts of service flow out from how much I love Him. Leave it to us to turn our Chrsitian journey into a works based contest.
These are my thoughts on a Sunday morning. I'm gonna go to church, and open up my heart to praise Him. I'm gonna take one uninterrupted hour this week to tell Him how great He is. It's gonna be an hour that is not about what I do for Him, but what He has done for me.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go blast some CeCe Winans while I get ready. It's never too early to get your praise on!

Once in a while you love a good splurge. This weekend I am going to Belk and splurging on this super cool Clinique eyeshadow.
According to Chic Critique it lasts all day. I don't usually spend $15.00 on eyeshadow, but if it lasts all day I'm all for it. I'll let you know. It's been a while since I had a splurge. What was your most recent well spent money on yourself?

This is the conversation I overheard (eavesdropped) on in Kroger line between two college girls this morning:
Girl #1- "What are you getting for your cold?"
Girl # 2 (sipping on a Diet Coke)- "I'm trying this echinacea."
Girl #1- "Why don't you get some of that Tylenol Cold and Sinus? I used it for my cold and it worked good."
Girl #2- (still sipping the Diet Coke full of aspartame) "No way, I'm taking this herb stuff. I really don't want any unnatural chemicals in my body."

My new favorite song
We sang this song in worship a few weeks ago and again today. I love it! My favorite line is 'We don't want blessings, we want you" Hard words to sing, because most the time I'm searching pretty hard for blessings and less for God Himself. I'll be humming this the next couple of days.....

Minus One
This weekend we spent four wonderful days catching up with my family. My three sisters live in different states, so it's always a fun time when we get together. We love to take pictures and I never look at a picture without thinking---we are minus one. My oldest sister, Laurie died when we were all kids, even before Liz was here. To be honest, I seldom think of her much, it's been so long now. I was younger than her namesake, my niece Kara Laurie, when she left us.
But when we're all together I often think, "we're minus one." What would her husband be like? Would her kids tease mine and splash them in the creek? Would she sit in the rocker and give me some good recipes to try? I miss her. I wish I could have known her as an adult. We're minus one.

Once in a While.......
it's nice to change things up. Do things a little different. Look at it from another point of view. Keeps things interesting. Prevents boredom. Like.........
..............taking the girls to Walmart at 10:00 at night, on a school night.
.............ordering soy chai latte instead of the standard mocha.
.............take a different route home.
.............listen to my kids ipod instead of my own.
.............paint my nails orange.
............wear pearls to work.
............listen to NPR instead of "the Fish" on the way to work.
.............ride a bike after work instead of running.
Yeah it's a wild and crazy life around the Welch household. We know how to live dangerous. Keep things interesting. Expect the unexpected.

GRETNA, La. (AP) — A jury in suburban New Orleans has found Ronald Gasser guilty of manslaughter in the 2016 shooting death of former NFL running back Joe McKnight.
Manslaughter carries a maximum sentence of 40 years.
Gasser shot McKnight after what prosecutors said was a road rage incident that included aggressive driving along a 5 mile route.
Prosecutors told jurors Friday the evidence shows Gasser angrily pursued McKnight and shot him from inside his own car.
A defense lawyer said McKnight was the aggressor throughout and that Gasser fired in self-defense, fearing McKnight would come through his passenger window.

text: cgw 0 Posted April 5 New content for the game 7 days to die. Add livestock to the game. Grow chicken from an egg in an incubator. An animal trap so that you can catch the animal, load it into the car and bring the captured animal home for breeding and rearing. Rabbit or hare. Wolf or panther. Deer Wild boar Which bear can be fed with berries or faster meat, fish. To breed them, you need two individuals of different sexes. Catch a bird to breed. You can feed them what you grow in the garden or hydroponics. Add an automatic pet feeder. Add a fishing rod so you can catch fish in the river. Add an aquarium so that you can grow fish in this aquarium. Hydroponics, so that plants can be grown underground, if there is a power grid. Add a windmill generator. Add a solar panel. Add a water electro generator, a water mill. Add a nuclear reactor and uranium ore. Add an electric generator on the wood. Add an electric generator on organics. Add a steam boiler. so that some parts such as sheets of iron can be produced in a rolling mill or press. as well as make foil. Add a shredder to recycle the blocks back into the ore. A stove for burning wood into coal, which burns better, and gives higher heat. Add tools to make production harder. for example, such tools: A grinder (angle grinder) for dismantling blocks without destroying them. Drill for dismantling electrical appliances without destroying them. Screwdriver to configure electrical appliances. Welding machine for welding steel blocks. A crowbar or crowbar to remove glass without breaking them and remove doors without destroying them. Add a backpack to carry more cargo. Add modifiers for vehicles that you need to find and which will allow you to carry more cargo. Add to the game: Large cargo truck. for example, if you need to move a large base to a new place for 1 time. Since it is tiresome to drive dozens, transporting trash hundreds of times by car. A crane for construction on which you can build at a height. Excavator for digging in large pits. A tractor for processing large tracts of land, such as planting plants and harvesting large quantities. A truck for transporting animals. A drilling rig for digging ore as a quarry immediately digs all the ore in a given place. Demolition machine. The building disassembling machine is quickly dismantled by the entire building by marks. A car for the construction of a building from a drawing, it creates a drawing by tags. A machine for sawing trees, logs and transporting wood that will go to the fuel of an electric generator. Add a rocket runway. Add a spacesuit creation. Add the ability to make a rocket and fly to the moon or Mars or asteroids space trading station in orbits. On the planets, Mars, the moon, asteroids are all the same but there are none, zombies, no animals, no plants, no buildings. For the furnace to work, it is necessary to produce oxygen in the form of ore. In the presence of carbon dioxide in the room and the right temperature, you can grow plants. carbon dioxide is produced by burning hydrocarbon ores, and the furnace can run on hydrogen in the form of ore and oxygen in the form of ore. Add air conditioning and heater. Add pressure regulator in enclosed space. Animals can be brought with them on a rocket, but they will die without oxygen and the right temperature, pressure in the built room. On these planets, the enemy is asteroids and temperature. also the enemy is solar flares. Make a closed space (atmosphere) so that it does not require a lot of calculations, perhaps a special atmospheric unit that will calculate the isolation on the client so as not to load the server with complex physics. And the client will transmit few numbers to the server. otherwise you may run into problems of productivity. No need to make complex air masses make the atmosphere static the same. Only variable temperature, pressure. And a different atmosphere inside the enclosed space of each player's building. Also, finding rare abandoned, small buildings or space orbital stations in which there are a lot of zombies and rare precious space things (a laser rifle, an advanced spacesuit, rare plants, an unusual animal, etc.) would be super. Space trading at orbital stations or through a trading station catching signals and sending capsules on small rockets. Ore Required: ice oxygen nitrogen carbon dioxide hydrogen uranium (nuclear elements) hydrocarbon (coal) Desired Ores chemistry periodic table. Gases required: oxygen nitrogen carbon dioxide hydrogen poisons Desired Gases chemistry periodic table. Add planetary transport by analogy. rover cargo rover flying ship on the planet. Please do this in the game. Since this will make the game even better and more beautiful, it is already good, but it will be generally super. You will thus, with minimal effort, actually expand your audience of fans. After all, you already have all the most complex and works great. The space simulator is a new market and a huge number of new people who love space, but they don't have a 7 days to die game, for example, they are not interested in this game, but you made it beautifully and you will have much more sales, simply because you add space and such planets as Mars, the moon, asteroids, the moons of Jupiter and the moon of Saturn, the lava planet.

Lotus Cobra is Evil is a yonkoma webcomic by Sixten about all sorts of aspects of Magic: The Gathering. It was originally centered around the adventures of planeswalkers Nissa Revane and Sorin Markov, but has since expanded into strips poking fun at cards, characters, or Magic personalities.
Notable for having high amounts of moe and random crossovers from characters from other works. Can be found at MTG Color Pie or on the authors blog.
This webcomic provides examples of:
- Art Evolution: Sorin. Lampshaded in Ask Dr. Koth
- Cameo: Where do we begin?
- Touhou has the most cameos: Patchouli and Koakuma appear in "-12", the Aki Sisters appear in "Autumn's Veil", Suika Ibuki is Primeval Titan, Remilia in "Ask Dr. Koth", Shiki is a Head Judge, Medicine is in "Choose your faction", and the Praetor strips all depict Melira, Geth, and the Praetors as various Touhou characters.
- Shout-Out: One strip revolves around then-recently suspended Magic player Tomoharu Saito being summoned as Louise's familiar.
- Moe: Pretty much every single character.

I love raiding.
I love it.
It is by far my favorite aspect of World of Warcraft. It's the one that made me feel that this was my game. The social aspect has also been a very important one, but with raiding I can fulfill that need while also feeling productive, part of a team. I really love the way that 10+ people can coordinate their efforts without speaking (for the most part, after you learn the strategy for the fight) and accomplish the task, and celebrate afterwards.
Last night, I was reminded of something. I was reminded that sometimes these boss fights aren't all fun and games, and sometimes they are frustrating and seem quite stupid. Last night, I was feeling some of the same feelings with the last couple times I took a break from the game. When I was in a guild that was hardcore, bleeding edge, where I wasn't having a jot of fun and was in tears most nights after raid, due to frustration.
That scares me.
I love raiding, but I'm also getting to the point now where I loathe raiding. I don't like how the higher ilvl gear is worse stat-wise for me, which means I've blindly picked up pieces, and got rid of old ones, that aren't in fact upgrades, even though they're from another tier of content. This is very frustrating. I also feel as if I'm doing everything right that I can insofar as my rotation and class abilities. I'm not perfect, believe me I'm the first to admit I make mistakes, but I'm doing the best that I can. It doesn't feel like enough.
Do I try key binding? I have a few abilities key bound, but I'm just not used to that play style, so I feel as if that would be a broader learning curve. I don't have a fancy smancy mouse with all the buttons on the side, and I don't really want to go out and purchase one.
My guild is a semi-casual one, but that doesn't mean we don't get things done, and I feel like I'm getting to a point right now where I'm not only not getting those things done, but I'm not having fun raiding.
There. I said it. I'm not having fun raiding. I love progression fights, I love slowly but surely eking out the strategy, figuring out nuances of the fight, each attempt getting closer and closer, but…
For all the usual reasons, I don't want to quit raiding. Mainly because I don't like that 'quit' word, but also because then I would begin the process of oh, I'll be behind on gear. I'll be behind on content. Everyone will surpass me and I'll feel like I'm being carried, since the only seamless way to ease into a raid tier is at the beginning of an expansion, unless you can PUG raids.
I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet, but I might be.. squinting.. in the direction of the towel.

22/04/2013 – Clean power for transport package – Invitation to a stakeholder consultation by Rapporteur Ms Saima KALEV (EE/EA - COTER)
Location: Committee of the Regions, Brussels
The Committee of the Regions is drafting an opinion based on the attached Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions "Clean Power for Transport: A European alternative fuels strategy" COM (2013)17 and Proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure COM (2013)18. These documents can also be found on the CoR website.
The Clean Power for Transport Package has three goals: to overcome transport dependency on oil, introduce alternative fuels in order to lower greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, and to kick start the market for alternative fuels in the EU. The Commission proposes in its draft law to set out national policy frameworks based on a mix of alternative fuels, to establish a minimum alternative fuel infrastructure for each Member State, and to implement common technical specifications for this infrastructure EU-wide. In its comments on the strategy, the Commission refers to current problems with alternative fuels which remind a vicious circle.
The rapporteur's aim is to contribute to the drawing-up of an effective directive to escape from this vicious circle and put in place better conditions for achieving the important new objectives. She also looks into the question how local and regional authorities could encourage the alternative energy use while, at the same time, keeping affordable energy and transport prices for consumers.
The rapporteur on the Opinion, Saima KALEV (EE/EA), Member of Jőgeva Rural Municipality Council, together with her expert, would be happy to meet with representatives of local and regional associations and other stakeholders for a consultation and an exchange of views on this opinion.
The consultation will take place on:
Monday 22 April between 11.30 a.m. and 1.30 p.m.
in the Committee of the Regions building
(Rue Belliard 99-101, B-1040 Brussels)
Room JDE 70
The rapporteur would be very keen to hear your views during the meeting. After a short introduction by the rapporteur, stakeholders will be invited to respond.
In addition, if you have any position papers relevant to the subject, you are welcome to send them to us by e-mail using the addresses below.
The meeting will be held in Estonian with simultaneous interpretation, allowing you to speak in English and French as well. Please note that the rapporteur's mother tongue is Estonian.
You can already register to participate in this debate to shape the rapporteur's views. For practical reasons, you are kindly asked to register your participation before 3 p.m. on Friday, 19 April via the following link.

Coastal paling fence on a super steep property on Oliver's Hill in Frankston, Victoria
We recently constructed a standard paling fence on a not so standard property in Frankston. The property was situated in Frankston hot spot area, Oliver's hill.
The beautiful ocean views were counterbalanced with super steep slopes, sliding soil and the enquistive neighbours. This was definitely one of those landscape construction jobs that they don't include in the manual.
The weather was great and moving the posts up the hill felt like we had signed up to a boot camp.
With people walking and running up the adjacent stairs for exercise, it was heaven sent when the Mt Eliza junior boys Redlegs football club came across us in their training. The young, fit and very kind boys helped us move all our upright posts up the hill via the stairs, Paul Vosti the coach, you are an absolute legend!
Tackling the steep slope was our greatest challenge. Moving the materials , digging holes and placing materials into position all became a bit trickier. We definitely had fun chasing our shovels, levels and posts from sliding down the hill.
We dug the upright posts in deeper to give the fence more stability. When dealing with slopes like this, quality construction is even more important to ensure that the fence is built to stand the coastal elements.
We got the job done in two days and we think it looks great. Thanks to everyone involved!

City Government
Tagami's Behind-the-Scenes Deal to Bring Coal to Oakland Draws Opposition
Now that the Oakland Army Base development project is well underway, city developer and project manager Phil Tagami is working on a behind-the-scenes $53 million deal to ship coal from Utah through the new Oakland trade and logistics center.
Last year local residents spoke out, and the City Council and the Port of Oakland have voted not to allow coal to be shipped through the port.
The Utah Permanent Community Impact Fund Board last month approved funding that would allow four counties in the state to acquire interest in the port in Oakland, according to The Richfield Reaper in Utah, which is the 14th largest producer of coal in the U.S.
The coal would be exported as soon as summer 2017 through a terminal at the Army Base that is expected to begin construction later this year. The new Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal will be designed to transport "bulk commodities" including iron ore and oversized equipment.
While the deal is still being negotiated, according to reports, the project is Tagami's deal and has remained off the city's radar until recently.
Tagami said his seven years of securing approvals and environmental entitlements for the Oakland Army Base project allow him to lease space to a private company that can export just about anything except "nuclear waste, illegal immigrants, weapons and drugs," as reported in the Contra Costa Times.
However, according to a number of residents, bringing coal into the city could jeopardize everything that community residents and activists have fought for in massive Army Base development project – among them, clean energy and reduced environmental impacts on the West Oakland community adjacent to the port and to the city in general.
"This (Army Base) is city property, and at least half of the total investments are public money," said Brian Beveridge of the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project (WOEIP) and resident of Oakland. "Ultimately, Tagami and his group is a tenant of the City of Oakland; they don't own the land."
There are two core local environmental impacts, said Beveridge – "hundreds of pounds of coal dust emissions in the area, with 150 to 850 pounds of coal dust lost in transit."
Secondly, "Oakland has a greenhouse gas reduction plan. Everything we'll have gathered will be lost" by buying and exporting coal into the city, he said.
"Coal is one of the worst greenhouse gas producers in the world," Beveridge added.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf has also voiced her opposition to the export of coal in the city, voting last year in May as a councilmember in support of a resolution against the transport of fossil fuels through the city.
Although Utah has already approved funding, winning support for the deal in Oakland is likely to be a hard sell.
According to the Sierra Club, the nation's largest grassroots environmental organization, coal burning is responsible for one-third of U.S. carbon emissions and leads to as many as 13,000 premature deaths every year and more than $100 billion in annual health costs.
In 2013, Tagami told Sierra Club leaders that there was no way he would consider coal as a commodity, according to Michelle Myers, director of the Sierra Club San Francisco Bay Chapter.
Myers suggested that the city amend the development agreement to allow them greater oversight on Tagami's role as project manager and developer on the project.
"(Councilmembers) clearly expressed that they don't want this type of commodity coming through the community, but they don't have the legal levers to prevent it," she said. "This is public land. They could potentially repeal his authority."
Added Beveridge, "The city needs to define more clearly what kind of action and activities are appropriate to happen on their public land."
"We have to connect our world-view to our local view, and exporting coal is a disconnect," he said.

Mangaluru, January 3, 2015: In keeping with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pet theme of 'Make in India', a new foreign trade policy is being formulated which will actively promote the manufacturing sector, said union Minister of state for Commerce and Industry Nirmala Sitharaman while addressing Media persons at the BJP district office here today.
Nirmala Sitharaman is in the city to deliver a lecture on 'Commerce policy for the future India' at a function organized by Mangaluru Initiative for Nationalist Dialogue (MIND) at Sangha Niketan.
Elaborating further, she said formulation of the new policy is in the final stages and is likely to be announced during the upcoming budget session of the parliament.
"Presently India has a 3 percent share of the global market and we want to increase this by giving a boost to exports," she said.
Responding to further queries, she said the government was focused on pursuing its development agenda but blamed the opposition for disruption of deliberations in the Rajya Sabha and blocking the effective functioning of the government.

Board of Selectmen
Budget Workshop
March 28, 2006
Douglas Board of Selectmen
Workshop Minutes
March 28, 2006
Approved October 3, 2006
Madam Chair Shirley Mosczynski called the workshop to order at 6:30 pm.
In attendance: Paula Brouillette-Vice Chair, Rich Preston, David Furno, Executive Administrator-Michael Guzinski and Administrative Assistant-Suzanne Kane
Mitch Cohen and Tribune reporter-Tom Mattson
Mike Guzinski reviewed the following:
- Mr. Paul Keddy resident of Perry Street Extension requested the Board be made aware that he filed a petition 2 years ago with the Town Clerk in regard to a section of the Towns' Bylaws that allows individuals to petition Town Meeting to get them to pave private roads in the community and have the assessments divvied out amongst the owners along the roadway. Mike explained to Mr. Keddy the reason it didn't go forward at the time was it came in late and wasn't written properly, it didn't reference that section or that assessments would be charged. Concerns with this Bylaw, even though approved by the Attorney General.
- Letter from Rick Colonero requesting the Board-in the next month or two-to review his roll as far as maintenance of the library. Mike – Unless it's a total remodeling job, Mr. Colonero should be given very wide latitude in making sure that any defects in the building are corrected as soon as possible without having to wait for action from the Library Committee. Another issue is "where does the money come from?"
- Budget – Handouts: Mike – Information from the schools just received this evening-budget of $10,569,250, indicating request reduced by $104,157, reduces our budget deficit $1,247,041.
-Jeanne Lovett (Accountant) and Mike Daley (Interim Accountant) did a 5 year thorough search through the towns' books $2,046,937.13-Stabillization.
-Rolling in the $600,000 in free cash to budget variance leaves $647,041.
-Assessors request for re-valuation: excess of $60,000 in over lay surplus account-reduces the variance to $587,041.
-Amount reduced from exempt debt for FY07, because of the receipt of balloon payment from the State, we'll be paying the ban off on that within the next week. Outside cap reduction because of that payment is $467,279.
-Health Insurance impact and14-16 new hires
-For Fy06: A $500,000 over ride would have an estimated impact of a tax rate of .54 cents and an average home in Douglas assessed $291,400 would have an increase of $157.31
- Over ride Discussion - This would be 4th year of using free cash to balance the budget and lucky to be able to do. Expense growth this year is 9% and increased expenses year after year. Towns should look at the revenue as well as expense side. Taking half of what the over ride is, out of stabilization and asking for the other half as an over ride may take us through one year but facing a tough choice year two. Continuing to drain our stabilization every year. With approximately 16 new hires we'll be paying COLA's then maybe have layoffs. It cost about $130,000 in unemployment associated with the necessary school lay offs from hires by the prior superintendent. We'll have money to get us through the next two years slowly draining stabilization and for Capital projects but not for every day. New hires on the Municipal side in public safety probably the biggest increase besides health insurance which is 14%. Douglas in 1980 was basically a volunteer town so Towns like ours over 30 years of prop 2 ½ have had a hard time. Mike will talk to Mr. Melican (Interim School Superintendent) in the morning regarding the school budget.
Next meeting posted for April 3rd prior to the STM on April 4th.
Consensus of the Board – We want the school to go back and look at what they've got. The Board of Selectmen willing to put on one over ride of $450,000.
Town Meeting is May 1st, the Warrant signed by April 11th and then to FinCom for approval for the flyer.
- Proposed DPW Special Act (Draft 3-10-06 Handout Final Draft April 11th): Mike – This was distributed a few weeks ago after conversation with Town Counsel in regards to the way the language was presented. Added language and Section 11 crossed out.
It was the Board's decision to review the draft section by section as Mike read them.
-Section 2-July 1, 2007 contingent upon legislature moving this through expeditiously.
-Underlined Sections-New way Counsel recommends we present the actual functions of that department.
-Section 3-Basically allows the Town to have some flexibility with this, so we don't have to go back and change a special act every time. As long as it's within the basic scope it can be expanded somewhat.
-Section 4-Addition of GL c.30, §9A or GL c.31, by Town Counsel describes the nature of the position-somewhat more of executive nature because of the work this person would be doing. It gives the Board the option to establish an employment agreement.
Page 2, paragraph 2-Discussion followed regarding requirements, qualifications, certification, flexibility, experience. Rich – emphasized his thoughts that certification is important for someone working in this field and if successful in creating a DPW, we have an experienced, registered Civil Engineer. This is also an executive position. Maybe get an opinion from Bill-Town Engineer. Paula – Agrees, but advocates leaving it the way it is and during the advertising and interviewing process you narrow down the candidates. Shirley – Has asked Mike to talk to the Town Manager and Public Works person in Hopkinton. Suggested when Mike talks with Town Counsel to clarify "what's the Executive's role and what's the Board's role?"
-Section 6-Shirley- It's not the intent of this process to do away with anyone's job. As an employee reading this, because it's change and stressful, the more we can define what it means to different kinds people is important to do. Inform public of what they're voting for or against. We have no set rules for maintenance so Cemetery, Recreation can't even apply for grants.
Compared to what the salary of what this person will get it's not even going to come close to what the grants would be. We have to buy a pick up truck, give them health insurance, it's a lot more money than you realize. We have good co-ordination but there's room for even better with a central person and a lot of communities have shown that.
Mike – working on a present status chart and proposed DPW chart.
-Section 7-Mike – This is a clarification so we have everything in black and white.
*Note: Mike-The next several sections talks about the different Boards that are affected somewhat by this change.
-Section 8-Mike-(Water/Sewer) Basically the Board pretty much retains their policies and powers.
-Section 9-Mike-(Parks & Recreation) Again, from a policy standpoint they will continue to have over sighting control over who uses the fields and when, whether to pursue additional fields, upgrades and changes, but the general maintenance is by the director of the department.
-Section 10-(Cemetery) Monies from the lots goes into the general fund. The budget now used for mowing would go over to DPW and they would not be given an appropriation. Mike – met with them, they were pleased and didn't think they would need a budget with a DPW.
-Section 11-Deleted as previously noted-replaced with a new one. Recommended by Counsel to give the Town more flexibility in respect to the Tree Warden.
-Section 12-Mike-(Highway Superintendent, Tree Warden, Insect Pest Control Superintendent) Would still have to have someone as supervisor and the DPW would be a resource to these people.
-Section 13-Mike-Convesation with Town Counsel, if the State doesn't get around to approving this in time for annual election, the Town could get approval at the subsequent annual election.
-Consensus to have Mike - look into calling other communities with a DPW
-check on language for terminating employees
-clarification on language in Sections 9 & 10
- Motions for the Special Town Meeting:Mike – offered to meet individually to discuss the article or motion and has additional information if needed. Shirley – Selectmens meeting posted at 6:30 prior to the STM if necessary.
- Revenues and Expenditures next 5 years (Handout):Mike has been working with Mike Daley and have him come in before the Town Meeting if the Board requests to show the trend lines in regards to with or without an over ride.
Mike – briefly discussed the charts and suggested the Board review them for another session.
Discussion-The rationale for '07 for dropping almost 3 Million Dollars, right now there's a zero free cash number put in, that's a large portion of it and the drop off of the debt. They are basically math formulas so there are other external factors that we may have to consider. You can look at historically how budgets are increasing. Recommend working on this with the School Committee and once the new administration is in to develop a formula and communication.
-Cafeteria Workers/Teamsters Union:Mike- The employer does not get involved in this.
-Letter from Mr. Tetreault's Attorney (Drainage issue on his property):Mike- Has tried calling the attorney and if no results in a couple days, he will write him a letter. This is one of 5 drainage issues Bill is working on. This one requires easements, proper planning, co-operation and the Board will be informed of progress.
-TIF Requests-Mr. Marty Green: Mike– One is for the Board to sign the one approved at Town Meeting last year. The other is involving his client Mr. Nick Jane, who's interested in establishing his landscaping business on Riedell Road at the same locality as the TIF's approved last year. Mr. Green did submit two articles, however Mike informed him it was too late in the process at a brief meeting several weeks ago. Recommend the Board consider these for possible inclusion on the fall town meeting. Pending sale on a 2.8 acre parcel to construct a six thousand sq ft headquarters for the company. Maybe the Board to consider at some point setting a general policy for all TIF's should go on a fall town meeting.
Consensus of the Board to do it in the fall.
–Personnel Bylaw and the Board's Positon: Shirley – The bylaw is on the warrant and this Board did not take a position on it. Mike –The Personnel Board put it on, as it's right as a Town Board on their own. Pay levels here vs. the pay levels of other communities, tuition reimbursement, sick leave buyback and longevity. Dave can not take a position formally.
Discussion - The Personnel Board has done a great job putting data together. Originally the intent of the Personnel Board was to have this come through under the policy provisions which probably would have required a lot more dialogue and discussion between them and the Board. It was moved to the bylaw process which all it needs is approval from the Board to be on the warrant. The "Sick Leave Buyback" had a lot more liability issues and was removed and "Tuition Reimbursement" is subject to funding availability and pre-approved by the Board of Selectmen. We have to look at the whole picture and come way up with some way to compare these to the union contracts that we have.
Adjournment- Paula Brouillette made a motion to adjourn at 9:35 pm.
Seconded – Rich Preston. All - aye.
Respectfully submitted,
Jane L. Alger
Administrative Secretary

Every New York-er knows that when enters the subway car should be staring at his/her phone, book or feet; Avoid any possible communication with other humans.
My intention was to reveal these social layers and make a digital portraiture of NYC subway phenomena; Common ground with enormous number and diversity of people that successfully avoid any kind of interaction.
Here I have bunch of goPros, charging and setting them all to respond on one remote controller.
Unfortunately, with goPros, you learn fast how great but unreliable they are. This is the only time it worked..
Now a first test, trying to generate 3d model out of multilpe photos. I'm using 123DCatch Autodesk.
What has helped is the fish eye removal tool, made by a 15-year old guy who loves to hack goPros 🙂
Second test that actually has generated more like 3D model out of photos (after removing fish eye).
Third test, nicely generated 3d model of myself. It is detailed enough with no more then 35 photos.
Test again, with some student sleeping 🙂
4 goPros hidden in the box.
Secretly taken photos with the box..
Then I decided to better hide cameras
Testing cameras from the backpack; Generating the 3D model (school restroom).
And then, time for train.
2 methods tried. One with taking photos every few seconds (with multyple cameras), and another, shooting vides (with all cameras again) and then picking photos later and generating 3D model out of that. I was not sure which ones will be more clear and sharp. I was assuming I will have more success with photos then with the video, which actually was not proven right in the train. As I was constantly moving all the photos I took were blury and so useless.
It is hard to stop next and in front of people in the train, pretend you are doing something train-casual but actually scanning them with backpack. And what is casual/normal when riding? –> Stare at your feet and don't move : )
This is a model generated of these 2 people. Not enough details of people, so they are lost in the model. Only the surrounding is left.
One of the photos:
Not enough information to generate 3D model:
Hey, my classmate!
Instead of the iintended 3D model, where you can walk-through the interactions of people in NYC subway cars, what will depict that comon ground is this video from my back:

Ideas for How to Build a Square Pyramid Strawberry Planting Bed
Build up instead of out when making planters for patios and decks. A stackable, pyramidal form using square beds is one way to use vertical growing space in tight quarters, and it fits nicely in a corner. Pyramidal planters are especially suitable for small, trailing plants, such as strawberries (Fragaria spp.), which are winter-hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 3 to 10.
Necessary Materials
Use 2-by-6-inch lumber to ensure the bed walls don't bow out over time and to give the strawberry plants the soil depth they need. Since the bed has to stand up to the elements, rot-resistant lumber, such as cedar or redwood, is a must, but avoid using pressure-treated lumber as it contains chemicals that make it unsuitable for food production. Galvanized lag screws are a strong, long-lasting fastener for joining the boards. Use two 3/8-by-3-inch lag screws with a washer for each joint, drilling a 5/16-inch pilot hole for each one before tightening them into place with a wrench. Strawberries need excellent drainage and grow best in a soilless potting mix when planted in containers.
Building Squares
A 3-tiered wooden pyramid provides space to grow enough strawberries for the household. Only the lower level of the pyramid needs a bottom, the other 2 beds will be open on the bottom, resting directly on the soil in the bed below. Build a 5-by-5-foot wooden bed with a floor as the base of the pyramid, using 2-by-6-inch pieces of lumbar for the walls and the base. Build another bed 3-by-3-foot and a third bed that is 1-by-1-foot. Nailing 1-by-4-inch pieces of wood horizontally along the tops of all the 2-by-6-inch pieces of wood is not necessary but gives the beds a more finished look.
Other Components
Attach casters to the bottom of the bed, as it will be quite heavy once planted, and nearly impossible to move around without wheels. Drill 1-inch drain holes every 12 inches in the base of the big bed to keep the soil from becoming waterlogged during rainy periods. Staple a small piece of screen over the holes to keep the soil from filtering through. Position plastic trays under each of the drain holes to catch the water that trickles through, preserving the surface of the deck or patio underneath. The 12-inch round trays made for potted plants provide sufficient volume to keep the water from overflowing in all but the most torrential downpours.
Putting it Together
Fill the bottom bed to the brim with soil. Set the midsize bed on top of the soil and precisely in the middle of the bottom bed. Fill the middle bed with soil. Place the smallest bed on top of the soil of the midsize bed, centering it. Fill this top tier with soil. The result is a pyramid bed 18 inches in height and big enough to hold 25 strawberries planted on a 1-foot spacing.

An Introduction to Moroccan Arabic and Culture
by Abdellah ChekayriPublished by Georgetown University Press
An Introduction to Moroccan Arabic and Culture and the accompanying multimedia DVD are designed to enable students to communicate effectively using Moroccan Arabic. Since Moroccan Arabic is rarely written or used in formal communication, the strength of the book lies in training learners in speaking and listening skills that can be used in everyday situations.
The book uses Romanized transcription alongside Arabic script for the first three chapters and thereafter only the Arabic script. It also includes a glossary and answer key. It requires approximately 120 contact hours, plus 180-240 additional hours of preparation outside class. A novice student should reach the intermediate-mid level of proficiency by the end of this course.

We have twooooo images ready for your viewing pleasure! The first is a canon image drawn by the immensely talented (and basically official artist of MGP at this point) Grimay! It's Eli and Kara out on a date at the arcade as they have a dance together… Eli and Kara style! I can totally see these dopes dressing up a bit for a nice dinner then slumming it at an arcade after. I don't know if this will be written into the actual story (in other words, the pic may turn out to be a bit of a spoiler) but in my mind it definitely will happen at some point.
First of all, as usual, he puts amazing detail into the background that I can't believe is there. Second of all, PLEEEEASE click on the image and see the high-res version of this image. He puts some awesome small shades into Kara's top to give it a nice, soft texture. That's just incredible to me! He's so amazing and talented and working on the next canon image as we speak. I'm excited for the next one too!
Next image is the pinup for June. All the $5 and up Patrons voted on some options of characters drawn as their in-game Aspect Realms avatars. Your choices were Robynne dressed as her Seraphim Rippleblade named Waveförm, Angela as her Seraphim Starsentry named Convictiön, or Robert dressed as his Deviling Windwhisper named Blustery. I guess Rule 63 ruled the day because Blustery won a VERY close vote (3 to 3 to 4!). For something this creative I went to Badgertastic to get the image done and… donut.
First of all. She didn't have much to work with on Robert. I have, like, maybe one picture of him. But she was able to extrapolate that picture out into this. And I love the demonic-looking wind effects around her. And the BLADE WORK! Mmmmm… those are some straight menacing looking daggers Blustery is sporting. Badgertastic is amazing and these are the exact type of pieces of art I love using her for.
I have several more irons in the fire artistically speaking so expect more art in the future. In the writing front expect at least a Q&A and ViD 5 to be posted this weekend with work gettind done on the next MGP. Sorry to post and run but I need the sleeps.
PS: discovered this Electo-swing song and love it. I want to share

Saint Dorothy
Yesterday I attended a baptism for a beautiful baby girl named Dorothy, so I took that opportunity to paint up a little painting of her namesake saint, Saint Dorothy (who happens to be the patron saint of gardeners, florists, and brides) as a baptism gift.
She was a fun little painting project, with her pretty basket of roses and apples and her crown of flowers, but then I also guess I'm a sucker for any chance to get to research the symbology of saints and religious figures (a penchant I've had in particular since my days studying art history and living in Florence).
I had some folks suggest I turn this into a series of saints, but I also like the idea of it being a personally specific-gifty-for-a-specific-person kinda thing.
BUT, if you do happen to have an interest in purchasing your own little saint, check out what I found during my Saint Dorothy web researching -- these super cute saint softies by Saintly Silver over on Etsy!
(I think Saint Lucy might be my favorite -- love the little seed bead eyes!) Pin It

A professor from the University of British Columbia is facing heat online for a Remembrance Day tweet that some deem to be disrespectful.
Economics professor Marina Adshade sent a tweet directed at UBC president Santa Ono, questioning why members of one of the university's fraternity houses were laying wreaths as part of the school's Remembrance Day ceremony. She asked why "more representative groups" weren't included instead.
@ubcprez wondering why frat boys are laying wreaths at the Remberance Day Ceremony at UBC. Surely there are other more representative groups on campus to play this role?— Dr. Marina Adshade (@MarinaAdshade) November 11, 2019
The tweet didn't go over well with some students, who felt the timing and intention of it was disrespectful. Others felt she was being flippant towards a certain group of students.
Before you were disrespectfully tweeting during the ceremony, the same gentlemen you are condemning spent hours setting up and running a ceremony which is meant to honour and respect the thousands of brave Canadian who lost their lives; several of whom were fraternity members.— Jordan Black (@Jordanblack2323) November 11, 2019
Hi Marina, next time I think the Veterans, fraternity members, and greater UBC would appreciate if you held off spewing your hateful fraternity rhetoric until after the Remembrance Day ceremony has concluded.— Stefan Borich (@stefanborich) November 11, 2019
3 of my 4 grandparents served for Canada in WW2 but because I'm in a fraternity I am not a fair "representative" of the spirit of Remembrance Day? Trying to isolate who is most worthy of paying their respects is bigotry, the focus should be on remembrance and respect in general— Davis (@davisbaynton) November 11, 2019
An unbelievably bias and out of touch opinion. @ubcprez at what point do you draw the line and stop this hatred towards a group of students existing on your campus? Students should not have put up with faculty criticizing them for attending Remembrance Day ceremonies #fireadshade— Josh Bourke (@JoshBourke) November 12, 2019
I find it very disrespectful that a professor would tweet something like this towards a student to try and question their understanding of the purpose of Remembrance Day - when in fact you were the one tweeting during a ceremony to honour veterans.— Mischa Frances (@mischafrances) November 12, 2019
You are so filled of hatred towards young men, you had to tweet this DURING the actual ceremony.— Toby Levins (@TobesLevins) November 12, 2019
Some pointed out that fraternity members were amongst those who served in World War II, including Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, who wrote the iconic poem "In Flanders Fields".
99 men of UBC's Beta Theta Pi Chapter served in World War II. Nine of those young men never returned. These are the names of those men. Today, fraternity members lay wreaths at UBC's ceremony to remember the their brothers and the many veterans that serve this country. pic.twitter.com/4wS6yjpSkR— Aaron A (@aaron604) November 11, 2019
Lt Colonel Dr John McCrae was a part of the Zeta Psi fraternity. And it was him who wrote the poem In Flanders Field if you didn't know. It's an honour of being part of the same fraternity as him— Sudarshan Iyer (@008_sud) November 12, 2019
Dr Adshade, 10 Brothers from my Fraternity Chapter at UBC gave their lives in WW2 so that you can present your views to the world. In addition, many more Fraternity Brothers are serving in the Armed Forces today to uphold those freedoms that we take for granted.— John Mio (@JohnMio5) November 12, 2019
Despite the critical feedback, some of which was racist, sexist and derogatory in tone, Adshade hasn't deleted the tweet.
November 11, 2019
This exactly my point, you belong to an exclusive and secret society of men. How can you possibly represent all UBC students?— Dr. Marina Adshade (@MarinaAdshade) November 11, 2019
In an e-mail to CTV News, Adshade doubled down on how she felt.
"I stand by what I said. UBC prides itself on being an inclusive and diverse campus. That was not reflected today by the student representation at the ceremony today. This is something that can, and should be addressed, in future years," she said. "The fraternities are antithetical to those ideals and should not be given a place of privileged at any UBC functions. I think that when wreaths laid by student organization they should be student organizations that are open and inclusive."
Asking for representation is spewing hatred? Are certain you fully understand the purpose of this day?— Dr. Marina Adshade (@MarinaAdshade) November 11, 2019
The university has not commented.

Submitted for your perusal
Pickett replied to nine6's question in New Word RiddlesThis is either sheer madness or complete brilliance. It's a lot to read, and I've only briefly skimmed it because i don't know if I have that much time to dedicate to it, but I've definitely noticed a number things out of this that will start to relate each of the paragraphs and "poems" together as well as a number of random pieces of information. A few examples I found: It ends with an Irish Blessing (although it is missing the final piece: "May God hold you in the palm of His hand.") There is an entire section containing pieces of song lyrics (Lou Reed - Walk on the Wild Side, Leonard Cohen - The Future, Simon and Garfunkle - The sound of Silence, Schoolhouse Rock - Conjunction Junction, The Trashmen - Surfin Bird, Gorillaz - Empire Antz, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Runnin' Down the Dream, etc) There are repeated phrases or words that seem too coincidental across the paragraphs ("Four Seconds", "Military Bases", "Capital G God", etc) So, again, I'm not going to have time to spend digging into this, and i'm still not completely sure if it's actually worthwhile, but it definitely piques my interest and will be checking in on this one...
Mind telling us (or PMing me) the answer? as it has been 6 months with no correct answers and the participation seems to have dwindled...
Emoji based math puzzle - level easy!
Pickett replied to Solvemoji's question in New Logic/Math Puzzles
Isn't my answer above correct?
Bisecting a triangle
Pickett replied to bonanova's question in New Logic/Math PuzzlesI'll take a quick stab at it:
Well then I've got nothing...closest I can think of that even relates to numbers is
curious as to how obscure these are or even the pronunciation allowed for these. Here are some examples of what I would consider "valid", but probably not what you're looking for:
Not sure what I was thinking when i wrote that...not even 5 vowels...I'll shut up now ;c)
not it, I know...but it was close
Dots, not hats...
Pickett posted a question in New Logic/Math PuzzlesSo bonanova's most recent puzzle, Another hat problem, reminds me of one of my favorite riddles that my dad always told me. It's very similar, but slightly different, and I don't think I've posted it before, so here it goes (he was a much better story teller than I, so pardon my narrative): A king put out a decree saying he will give his entire kingdom to the person who could solve all of his riddles, thereby proving to be the smartest person in the land. Obviously many showed up, but after all of the trials, only 3 people remained. The king told them to get some rest for tomorrow they would face their final challenge. Only one person would remain after it, the other two would be killed. That threat didn't dissuade them, and they all went to bed. When they woke up, they found themselves all in a room together. Any and all reflective surfaces were covered, and there were armed guards surrounding them. Before any of them could speak, the king told them their challenge: "While you were sleeping, we painted either a red dot or a blue dot on each of your foreheads. You are not allowed to speak or communicate with each other in any way shape or form. Anyone who does so will be killed immediately. Now, raise your hand if you see a blue dot on someone else's head." The three people looked at each other and all three raised their hands. "Good. Keep your hands raised. You may only lower your hand when you can tell me what color dot is on your own forehead. If you lower your hand and do not answer, you will be killed. if you answer incorrectly, you will be killed. If you answer correctly, you will gain all of my wealth, and the other two will be killed. Good luck." The three looked at each other...what seemed like hours went by with no one answering. You could see they were all straining themselves, trying to figure out how they could know what color dot they had. Their arms started getting tired... Finally, one of the men got a big smirk on his face. He did some final double checking of his logic and slowly lowered his hand. "The spot on my head is ... " Given that the man successfully answered the question, and it clearly wasn't a "guess", what color dot was on his head, and how did he know?
solve this please
Pickett replied to Lwestcott's question in New Word RiddlesGood luck.

Suffragist Millicent Fawcett is the first woman to be immortalised with a statue in Parliament Square.
Fawcett founded the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies in 1897 and spent her life fighting for women to vote. She held non-violent demonstrations, petitions and the lobbying of MPs, but died a year before were granted the vote on the same terms of men.
The Suffragists led to the creation if the Suffragette movement, established by Emmeline Pankhurst.
The 11 statues in Parliament Square are currently all men, including Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln and Nelson Mandela. Theresa May said this weekend said that Fawcett 'continues to inspire the battle against injustices of today'.
'It is right and proper that she is honoured in Parliament Square alongside former leaders who changed our country,' she said. 'Her statue will stand as a reminder of how politics only has value if it works for everyone in society.'
Damn Fawcett's legacy continues with the women's rights foundation, The Fawcett Society.
'Her contribution was great but she has been overlooked and unrecognised until now,' said the charity's chief executive Sam Smethers. 'By honouring her we also honour the wider suffrage movement.'

Ismet Yuksel, General Director of the Crimean News Agency [QHA] and Mejlis adviser on relations with Turkey has been banned from entering Crimea for 5 years. Commenting the ban Crimean premier Sergey Aksyonov accused Yuksel of inciting interethnic hatred.
Yuksel, in turn, called the premier's words a slander.
"Let he [Aksyonov] put his hand on the heart and listen to the voice of conscience when making such statements and accusing people. I have been living in Ukraine for 20 years. Together with my colleagues I have implemented hundreds of projects, helping pupils, students and sick people. In 2002I was conferred with award of Ukrainian Orthodox church of Kievan patriarchate for creating interethnic dialogue between representatives of different nations and religions. It is even hard to remember all the names projects that were implemented, as every project is a destiny and help to concrete person that led to positive results. It is a strange thing that I am accused of inciting interethnic hatred"- Yuksel said.
Yuksel also required concrete arguments of "inciting hatred".
"Let them give concrete examples, that I incite hatred. It is a slander against me. My philosophy is based on ideals of humanism and help to people"- stressed.

Denise Dmochowski and I installed the latest edition of our work of Synergy in the Art Lounge at the Zen Center of San Francisco. The exhibition of our paintings will be on view until September 30.
Synergy. The interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual elements, contributions, synergism. By presenting our paintings side by side we strive to create a beautiful atmosphere of peace and joy.
Our paintings shown together compliment each other beautifully. The colorful, light filled images draw you in offering a place of serenity and allowing for a connection to a deeper level of consciousness. In our individual interpretations of nature there is an energy that connects our work.
Do you have an idea of where we can show our work together again? We are always looking for new places to show. Please let us know, we would love to hear from you.
