Another week goes by with more of the "no news" as far as the adoption goes. We did put our profile in on another situation that, at current time, we have yet to hear from. This birth mother had a couple of criteria that we did not meet, but we put it in anyway and will let God handle the details. (She preferred a childless couple over a family.) So, we expect to hear today or tomorrow about that one, and then will wait to see what comes next down the pike.
On Friday, we received an email that there were eight situations in Florida that had been given to our agency through an attorney. Totally unrelated to one another, we would be able to look at some precursory details and make a decision whether or not to, again, throw our name in the hat to be considered for one or more of them. We looked and decided that two fit within what we have decided are our criteria and passed that information along to our caseworker.
I need to reiterate the point that we are prepared for the financial hurdles that this process is going to throw at us. Maybe not physically prepared in the way of we have the money right now, but spiritually and mentally we know that this is something to have faith in God for. Without being overly specific, we have been preparing for the costs, but noticed quickly that most of the total fees for the cases on this particular list far exceeded our expectations, even triple in once case. But, we decided to at least look over information and be prayerful and willing to follow where God was leading us.
We received a more detailed informational packet on the first birth mother on Saturday morning from the agency for our perusal, to let them know if we wanted to pursue it further or move to the other one on our list. When I looked at it, one set of information, to be honest. . . just bothered me, bothered us.
From our understanding, there will sometimes be fees included in the cost(s) of the adoption to cover some of the birth mother's expenses. Mostly medical or self-care expenses to make sure that both she and the baby are being taken care of. We have also been advised that, on isolated incidents, these may include requests to pay for utility bills for a month, or something of the like. But, for this particular situation, the adoptive parents are basically being required to pay for this young lady to live for the next six months. Six months worth of rent (plus first and last month's rent/security deposit), six months worth of cell phone bills, money to buy a new cell phone, monthly allowances for groceries, toiletries, clothing, and utilities. Then, an additional six weeks of the same fees and allowances to cover her post-partum. The total equaled a little over what someone making minimum wage would make in a year plus one week, working 40-hour days. That was only part of the total fees, which then included medical expenses, some other reasonable requests, and attorney fees.
I found myself at a mental crossroads, so to speak. On one hand, I want to be faithful to whatever God calls us to do, regardless of the details. On that same hand, we also aren't going to make decisions based on the money involved, whether that means a loan that lasts as long as the child that will live in our house or not. On the other hand, I have a hard time imagining a mother profiting financially just for being pregnant. There are other details of this particular situation that I won't divulge that only fueled my thoughts on that.
My crossroads led me to the realization that this is the society that we currently live in. Bro. Greg's sermon yesterday mentioned the lack of gratitude in the younger generations. I attribute that partially to the parenting they have received/are receiving, but attribute another small section to the society we have created. My grandparents lived through both the Great Depression and World War II. During the war, soldiers were not the only ones who made physical sacrifices. Products once made from brass were changed to aluminum or other softer metals so that more ammunition could be produced. Families were asked to ration food and only receive enough per week to feed their own family. Wives and mothers went to work on the assembly lines in place of their husbands and sons, both to hold their place of employment and to provide for their families. A couple of years ago, we moved my grandmother into a nursing home, where she passed away a short time later. In cleaning out her small, 1100-square foot house, my dad and his brothers found what it looks like to have a mindset of sacrifice and self-preservation. Boxes full of grocery sacks (paper and plastic), bins of bread ties, and stacks of newspapers lined closets and cabinets that she had saved for decades. She had gone through a time when things were scarce, and lived a full life of not having a whole lot in the first place. These were her "just in case" remnants of living with those thought processes.
The difference in today's generations and my grandmother is whom they rely on. She relied on herself and my grandfather to provide what they needed through hard work. She sat in her chair and with a less than 8thgrade education read her Bible to ask for guidance. Today's society refuses to work for minimum wage and instead uses the government for help for everything from rent to clothing to cell phones. I'm not against helping my fellow man, because I could be next to be out of a job and in an undesirable financial situation. But, I would find a job that paid something in the meantime, to make sure that I was taking care of me and mine. This is where I differ from this young Florida expectant mother.
Maybe my view on this offends some, or is skewed in some way. I struggle with knowing what the right way to think or feel is, to be completely honest. Please pray that we would have discernment in both following God's call but using wisdom at the same time.
We still rest in the knowledge that God already knows who and where our child is. We still can't wait to meet him/her.

13 Rescued After Flash Flood at Anna's Ranch
The Hawai'i County Fire Department responded to a Flash Flood Search and Rescue at Anna's Ranch in Waimea on Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018, at 4:21 p.m. 13 individual were found, seven of the individuals were trapped and two of the individuals were injured.
Upon arrival, responders found three of the party on the west side of the stream. They reported there were a total of 13 in the party that were swimming in the mountain stream when a Flash Flood came through without warning. The search immediately began along the stream for the missing.
Upon arrival of Chopper 1, three other were located walking thru the north side pasture. A short time later, four others were located in different areas stranded on the rocks along the stream. They were rescued and then air lifted to the staging area to be treated by waiting medic units. A while later, the final three hikers were located on the rocks behind a large waterfall. Extrication involved technical rope rescue and repelling/ascending a 150–250 foot cliffs in dark, wind and rainy conditions over a five hour period of time.
24 fire fighters were involved in the Search and Rescue which ended on Sunday, Nov. 4, at 12:33 a.m.

You'll often hear that fashion is one of the largest polluters worldwide, why is that? Besides the huge amounts of fast fashion that end up in landfill it's also the production and the large number of resources needed to produce garments that make it polluting.
Many materials require lots of water and chemicals during the production process. This is not sustainable, on the contrary it's very damaging to the planet. Besides this, animal-based materials such as leather and wool are best avoided as they are unethical and exploit living animals.
Luckily, there are many sustainable alternatives. We have gathered our top 3 for you. When shopping keep an eye out for the certifications brands work with, this will also give you an indication of whether or not the clothing is sustainable and ethical.
- Hemp
Hemp is a fibre and has been used for thousands of years in for example clothing. In its pure form it resembles the texture of linen, a nice and light fabric for summer. It's sustainable because it doesn't take a lot of water to grow and it's bio-based and biodegradable. Organic hemp is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, even better!
- Tencel lyocell
Perhaps less known, but definitely deserves to be known: Tencel or Tencel lyocell. Lyocell is a plant-based fibre, light and versatile, and can be used in anything from casual clothing, active wear, to underwear. Lyocell is made from wood pulp and sustainable because 99% of its solvent can be recycled which makes it eco-friendly.
- Organic cotton
Conventional cotton (which is what most traditional tees are made out of) is not sustainable. Yes, cotton is a natural fibre, but it requires lots of water and chemicals to grow. Organic cotton on the other hand is a more sustainable alternative. At Susty Wear, we choose to use organic cotton because it sustains the health of soils, ecosystems, and people by using natural farming processes. This means no toxic chemicals and 91% less water are used than with non-organic cotton.
These are just three of the sustainable and eco-friendly materials out there. Which eco-friendly and sustainable materials do you like to wear?

A fire alarm is a standalone device or a complete network of devices, installed in a building or an area, which gives audible and/or visible warning of an outbreak of fire in that building or area. Therefore, does the fire alarm really do what it is supposed to do? I ask that question because just the other day I was in a hotel room working on the computer when the Fire Alarm went off. When it started going off, my immediate thought was is this a test, do I smell smoke, do I need to go downstairs, why is this disrupting my day? At no point did I ever really think that the very function of the alarm was even a possibility, a fire. So, while the fire alarm is to inform you of the dangerous fire, to this day it is universally disregarded. Unfortunately, once you've been engulfed by the flames it becomes too late.
I see that the Bible is often seen with the same universal disregard. The Bible is God's love letter to His children, and it is just as important to ensure that people do not die without the knowing just how much God Loves them through the ultimate act by Jesus Christ.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
God did not just love the world but "God so loved the world." This is greater than what we consider love; so now makes this love mean "going beyond the ordinary." It's not just a physical love but a sacrificial love. God would later take that word sacrifice to a never before seen level, when He placed all of His cards on the table by giving His only begotten Son for the lives of everyone else (including you and me). Rom 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. We cannot disregard the Love that God has shown each of us like we disregard a Fire Alarm when we initially hear it. Because just like an ignored fire alarm, not realizing God's love for you becomes dangerous when you realize it too late; at death (Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord). Do not wait until you're engulfed in flames to realized just how much God loves you!!

Nowadays many devices come with chips and are connected to the Internet—the so-called Internet of Things. The smart fridge that alerts you when milk is low or adds it to the shopping list—maybe even orders it from the grocery app! The air conditioner that anticipates when you want the house cooler for a run on the treadmill but turns itself down when you're out at the movies. A baby monitor that tells you when it's time to stock up on teething gel: the little one has been tossing and turning a little too much.
It sounds useful and wondrous. It's quite possible, however, that your Internet-connected baby monitor instead spent last night teaming up with millions of other devices—cameras, printers, routers, speakers, air conditioners, DVRs, and more—to censor journalists; take down music, social media, or movie sites such as Twitter or Netflix; sabotage open-source software projects; knock almost a million German houses off-line; or bring down cell-phone communications in Liberia. With all this extra stealth activity, it's also running up your electricity bill.
Wait ... what? The problem is painfully simple and terribly thorny, and it is as much about globalization, law and liability as it is about technology. Most of our gizmos rely on generic hardware, much of it produced in China, used in consumer products worldwide. To do their work, these devices run software and have user profiles that can be logged into to configure them. Unfortunately, a sizable number of manufacturers have chosen to allow simple and already widely known passwords like "password," "pass," "1234," "admin," "default" or "guest" to access the device.
In a simple but devastating attack, someone put together a list of 61 such user name/password combinations and wrote a program that scans the Internet for products that use them. Once in, the software promptly installs itself and, in a devious twist, scans the device for other well-known malware and erases it, so that it can be the sole parasite. The malicious program, dubbed Mirai, then chains millions of these vulnerable devices together into a botnet—a network of infected computers. When giant hordes of zombie baby monitors, printers and cameras simultaneously ping their victim, the targeted site becomes overwhelmed and thus inaccessible unless it employs expensive protections.
To make things worse, the authors of Mirai released the source code shortly after their debut censorship attack on the Web site of Brian Krebs, an Internet security investigative journalist. Now even people with rudimentary levels of coding skill can assemble their own giant zombie botnets. There are also "peeping Tom" sites that randomly scan for, and easily find, cameras with these simple, known passwords and stream their feed to the world.
What's the fix? You might have noticed that phones or laptops occasionally need software updates. These introduce new features, but they also often patch bugs and fix software vulnerabilities. Alas, most devices vulnerable to Mirai were also shipped with no feasible or easy way to update or fix them.
I babysat various computer networks to pay for college, and the passwords that Mirai uses would be the same combinations I'd try when faced with a device with an unknown login. That this is still true so many years later points to the actual problem: nobody is minding the store. Indeed, why bother? For manufacturers of chips or devices, there is often little to no downside to shoddy security.
There is no authority with teeth and no clear law outlining liability from harm caused by such blatantly negligent security practices. The original authors of Mirai appear to be U.S. college students who eventually pled guilty after being caught, but that's mostly irrelevant. As long as there are large numbers of devices with the "admin/admin" username/password combination, someone would have done this eventually. The bad news is that there is no real solution to Mirai except waiting for existing vulnerable devices to degrade. The good news is that if a few device makers who shipped "admin/admin" gadgets were forced to pay hefty fines or if parents of a hacked baby monitor could sue manufacturers or sellers, security would probably improve rapidly.
The Internet of Things promised us great wonders, but I'd like them to be less exciting. It's time to make baby monitors boring again—and go back to worrying about the little one's teething rather than his or her security camera joining a zombie botnet and wreaking havoc across the globe.

Oil prices rose slightly amid reports of slower growth in China.

January 3, 2019672 views0 comments
Oil prices rose slightly today as worries over signs of slower economic growth in China were countered by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' (OPEC) production cutbacks. Brent crude traded at $55.69 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) rose to near $47 per barrel.
Prices bounced back as a result of investors' confidence that OPEC will push on with promised production cuts, with data showing the group had made an early start on its pledged curbs. "We really do need a sustained effort from some of the OPEC producers to take supply out of the market in order for prices to recover," Jason Gammel, an analyst at Jefferies LLC, said in a Bloomberg television interview. "Now we're starting to see that."
In an attempt to push against the tide of lower oil prices, OPEC kingpin, Saudi Arabia reduced production a month before wider supply curbs pledged by OPEC and its allies started this month. The kingdom's cutbacks reduced OPEC's overall output by 530,000 barrels a day in December, the group's sharpest pullback since January 2017.
"OPEC and other producers not only have to deal with a renewed pick-up in U.S. production, but also the global outlook for growth and demand," said Ole Sloth Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank A/S in Copenhagen. "The market worries when data from the world's biggest importer, China, continues to show signs of slowing."
Read Also:
Also, crude initially fell as much as 2.6 percent as Apple Inc. cited an unforeseen slowdown in China and cut its sales outlook, just days after data showed weakening factory conditions across Asia.
Apple's forecast cut is the latest sign that a long-running trade war between the U.S. and China may be hurting the world's two biggest economies. Along with political turmoil in Washington and higher interest rates by global central banks, the spat has weighed on crude.
On another hand, Venezuela, once Latin America's largest oil exporter, ended 2018 with a whimper as crude sales dropped to the lowest in nearly three decades.

Cowboy Bebop: 8 Quick Things We Know About Netflix's Live-Action Series
You know why I really like the immensely popular anime, Cowboy Bebop? Because it's short. That might not seem like a good reason to like a series, but let me explain. Unlike a lot of other anime that just seem to go on and on and on, Cowboy Bebop, which is about a small crew of space bounty hunters tracking down some lively criminals (all set to some jazzy music) has a definitive ending. And this gets me even more excited for the upcoming Cowboy Bebop live-action series coming to Netflix, since it means that if it's like the anime, then we'll likely have a great show that won't wear out its welcome.
That's if the live-action series follows the anime, though. There's actually still a lot that's unknown about this live-action show, which had to halt its production for 9 months after its main star suffered a knee injury. That being said, we've scrounged up 8 quick things that we do know for certain about the upcoming series. And as for anything else that may come about? Well, "whatever happens, happens."
John Cho, Mustafa Shakir, Daniella Pineda, And Alex Hassell Will All Have Major Roles In The Cowboy Bebop Cast
I normally don't say a show has perfect casting, but when I heard that John Cho would be playing series mainstay, Spike Spiegel, I thought, "Well, that's some perfect casting." Spike Spiegel was once a hitman, but is now a bounty hunter aboard a ship called the Bebop. Also on that ship are its captain, a former police officer named Jet Black, who will be played by Luke Cage's, Mustafa Shakir, and an amnesiac named Faye Valentine, played by Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom's Daniella Pineda. The Boys star, Alex Hassell, will be playing series antagonist, Vicious. We also know that Strange Angel's, Elena Satine, will be playing Spike's love interest, Julia. So, yeah. The cast is pretty stacked.
Radical Ed Will Be On The Show, Too… But We Still Don't Know Who's Playing Her
But you might be asking, what about Radical Ed, the hacker from Earth? Well, according to Netflix, Radical Ed is coming… but at the time of that 2019 announcement, she hadn't been cast yet and there's been no announcement since. "Radical Ed's" real name is actually Francoise Appledelhi, and her own spacey father wasn't even sure if she was a boy or a girl. Ed came on the show in episode (Or rather "session") 9, and became a fan favorite since she brings some levity to the Bebop. There's no word on whether the Corgi, Ein, will also make an appearance, but a video from Netflix hinted at it, so, we'll see.
The Show Will Also Make One Fan Favorite Character Nonbinary
Fan favorite character (and killer saxophonist), Grencia Mars Elijah Guo Eckener, better known as Gren, will be portrayed by Mason Alexander Park, who will also play Desire on Netflix's upcoming Sandman series. Gren, who was in the excellent session, "Jupiter Jazz (Part 2)" was a gender fluid character before that was really seen on television. That said, Netflix is going one step further by specifically stating that Gren will be a nonbinary character. This is what the LGBTQ+ Netflix Twitter account, Most, tweeted out:
This is awesome news, and I'm looking forward to seeing this arc of the show featuring a true nonbinary actor in the role. Progress!
Christopher Yost We Be Writing The First Episode
Thor: The Dark World (Boo!), and Thor: Ragnarok (Yay!) writer, Christopher Yost, will be writing the first episode of the series, which is still untitled as of this point. But unlike the anime, which had episodes that were about 22 minutes in length, the live-action series will have episodes that should be about an hour long each. And if you happen to be worried about whether Christopher Yost can get the job done, the writer himself thinks you should just calm down. According to a tweet of his, he had this to say:
So, there you have it. They've got this. I just hope that they Thor: Ragnarok got this, and not Thor: The Dark World got this. Just sayin'.
There Will Be 10 Episodes In The First Season
Interestingly enough, there will be 10 confirmed episodes in the first season. Now note this: We all know that Netflix sometimes tends to cancel shows that aren't getting enough views, so the "first season" very well could end up being the "last season". We don't know yet. But with the original series having 26 episodes (and one movie) that were about 22 minutes in length, and the live-action series being 10 episodes that are about an hour in length each, that means that Netflix could technically do the entire series in one season if they wanted to rush things and cram some of the anime episodes together. So, as Jet Black (Yes, the anime character) might say:
So, yeah, what he said. There will be an eventual end. Let's just hope that it's not presented in one season.
The Composer of the Original Series, Yoko Kanno, Will Be Doing The Soundtrack For The Netflix Show
If you like Cowboy Bebop, then one thing you have to love about the show is its music, as it sounds like no other anime. That's why I'm overjoyed to hear that the original composer, Yoko Kanno, will be providing the score for the live-action series. Honestly, I was a little on the fence about the show until I heard this news, since music is such a huge part of the series. But now that I know that she's on board, well, maybe they do actually "got" this. This is really great news. Could a new rendition of "Goodnight Julia" be in our future? Only time will tell.
The Show Will Be Coming Out Fall 2021
Speaking of time, when will the show debut on Netflix? Fall of this year. When in fall of this year? I don't know. Just fall. Stop asking me. But if you're especially antsy and don't want to be late to the party ("3, 2, 1, let's jam!") whenever it debuts, you could always just go to the Cowboy Bebop's Netflix page and click "Remind Me". Such things are possible in the modern age.
The Series Creator Will Be Overlooking The Netflix Show
Lastly, series creator, Shinichiro Watanabe, who also created Samurai Champloo (which I also have to talk about on this site sometime), will be a creative consultant for the live-action series. Much like the news of Yoko Kanno working on the show, hearing that the series creator will be looking over the series to hopefully see that it meets his vision, is just plain awesome. Honestly, "Fall 2021" can't get here soon enough!
So, that's what we currently know about the upcoming Netflix series. But if you can't wait until "Fall 2021", why not check out some of the best shows to binge watch on Netflix right now? Come on. You know you want to.

We investigated the effect of low density lipoprotein (LDL) on vasorelaxations and nitric oxide generation induced by the adenosine analogs, 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamide)adenosine, 2-p-(2-carboxyethyl)phenylethyl-amino-5'N- ethylcarboxamidoadenosine and/or 2-chloroadenosine in porcine coronary artery rings in vitro. Preincubation of tissues with native LDL (100 and 200 μg/ml) for 4 hr in the absence or presence of copper sulfate (5 μM) selectively attenuated the endothelium-dependent relaxations elicited by 5'-(N- ethylcarboxamide)adenosine and 2-p-(2-carboxyethyl)phenylethyl-amino-5'N- ethylcarboxamideoadenosine without altering the response to 2-chloroadenosine which produced endothelium-independent relaxation. The 4-hr exposure of tissues to native LDL (100 μg/ml) also inhibited the production of nitrite induced by 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamide)adenosine in endothelium-intact rings. These effects were associated with enhanced oxidation of the lipoprotein. The inhibitory action of LDL on tissue relaxations and nitrite generation as well as the oxidation of the lipoprotein were all prevented by high density lipoprotein (100 μg/ml). In contrast, a relatively short period (20 min) of tissue incubation with native LDL produced no alterations of the relaxations and nitrite production evoked by 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamide)adenosine and 2-p(2- carboxyethyl)phenylethyl-amino-5'N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine. Under this condition, the oxidation of LDL was not also significantly altered. In conclusion, the results indicate that in coronary artery LDL, with oxidative modification, causes attenuation of nitric oxide-mediated endothelial responses induced by adenosine receptors activation, and this effect is prevented by high density lipoprotein. Such modulation may be of importance in hypercholesterolemia and in the development of atherosclerosis.

About This Report
NBI/Michael Sone Associates' Canadian
Mobile Wireless Communications Services Market Report, 2009
Edition continues to be the most comprehensive study
published on this industry.
The report examines the cellular, wireless messaging and mobile
data markets in Canada, focusing on both services currently
offered and probable future developments of the industry. Of
particular importance is the potential role of the new entrants
that were successful in securing licences for advanced wireless
services (AWS) that promise technological advances in popularizing
the increased use of mobile data and Internet access and, therefore,
their growing importance in increasing market competitiveness.
The spectrum auction itself and the emergence of new service
providers is examined through a detailed description of the
process and examples of some new applications that promise even
more potential in the near future.
The report opens with an Executive Summary that offers the
reader a snapshot of the industry's relevant issues, specifically
the service providers' performance, market share, penetration
and future direction as indicated by the key metrics of their
subscriber acquisition and growth, ARPU, usage rates and churn.
This is followed by a detailed account of the spectrum auction
and the results of the winning bids.
Thereafter are two sections that contain detailed profiles
of the wireless service providers themselves. The first covers
the established companies and includes recent market performance
and activities as well as predictions for the near future. The
discussion focuses on the effects of different airtime and mobile
data plans, pre-paid packages, messaging and other value-added
services, marketing programs and distribution channels on revenues,
subscriber growth, usage patterns, acquisition costs and capital
The second of these sections profiles the new entrants, including
their likely strategies with particular emphasis on their announced
or likely technology choices and service plans, thereby offering
the reader NBI/Michael Sone Associates' view of a future
with, possibly, twice as many service providers as today.
Eleven comprehensive Exhibits illustrate service provider-specific
data including projections to 2012 for wireless customer and
revenue growth, provincial analysis, segmentation between business
& consumer accounts, breakdown between voice & data
revenues and detail on SMS traffic and revenues.
Please watch for our upcoming Canadian Mobile Wireless
Communications Device Market Report, 2009 Edition.

text: Providing youth with opportunities Youth This quarter, Base@Belmont celebrated young people working on themselves and thanks to the YMCA, these young people are able to take the next step into their future, whether it be TAFE, apprenticeships and beyond! Eight young people recently graduated from a Certificate II in Community Services, a course which ran from February to June, three days a week. Students completed nine units as part of the course, including learnings on; how to communicate in the workplace, how to manage conflict, how to identify stress (particularly in a workplace) and completing a first aid course. Amanda Hodkin, Trainer and Assessor and Youth Worker at Base@Belmont reflected how the course had such a massive and positive impact on these young people. "Not only was this impactful for their own personal growth but it's reignited their love for education again and set up a real pathway of where they can go in the future" she said. Darren, a graduate from the certificate, said "This certificate helped me develop a routine and schedule, dealing with stress and managing timing. Managing school was really stressful and not a good place to be so this was good." Sue Young, Human Resources Advisor-Recruitment and Joy Alfred-Lyamu, Human Resources Administrator, part of YMCA WA's People and Culture team, also added some extra skills on top of the core units, providing some information on how to write a resume and cover letter. Since graduating, three students have been accepted into TAFE courses; Certificate IV in Nursing, Certificate III in Aged Care and Certificate in Make-Up and others hoping to get an apprenticeship and employment.

Rowan, Dolff, and Ben left their horses at Kesh the Clean's camp and made the half-hour trip down the hill to Bthardamz on foot. The road ended at a steep flight of stairs that led to a landing and then another flight up to the ruin. Just as they reached the first set, two sentries turned onto the landing and attacked. A woman in leather armor stood on the landing and fired arrows while a man in rags charged down the stairs, brandishing an iron sword. Dolff made short work of the man, while Rowan and Ben finished the woman off with an arrow and a lightning bolt. Then they made their way up the steps.

Dragonborn: The Legacy Fourteen – Coranil
A/N: Sexual situations. Not appropriate for children.
Dolff and Ben released Coranil from the wall shackles, and Rowan caught him as he collapsed. He was so thin and frail, she thought she could carry him on her own, but Dolff picked him up and toted him to the nearest bedchamber. Rowan figured he must be in incredible pain, but he didn't wince or groan once.
Dolff went to get some water, and Ben sat down next to Coranil and called healing magic to his hands while Rowan stood back and chewed on a fingernail.
"She's biting her nails, isn't she?" Coranil asked without even opening his swollen eyes.
"Of course," said Ben as he concentrated on the elf's foot, which appeared to be broken.
Dragonborn: The Legacy Thirteen – The Prisoner
Rowan and Ben arrived in Riften a couple of days later and gave Selene the vial of snow. They left the next morning to go back to Whiterun, and Selene and Brynjolf headed for Windhelm. She called once again on Odahviing, who, as always, was happy to give them a ride; and they arrived in Skyrim's capital city in a few hours.
Ulfric had stepped up security. Extra guards patrolled the streets, and some of them who didn't recognize Selene and Brynjolf glared at them suspiciously. Selene could sense her husband's unease as they approached the Palace of the Kings, but it wasn't the extra guard that made him uncomfortable. Although he respected Ulfric as High King, his animosity toward the man had never waned. He hated him with a passion, and Ulfric was none too fond of him, either. Still, they were men of integrity in their own way, and they tolerated each other enough to work together when necessary.
Dragonborn: The Legacy Seven – Leg Work
When Ben returned to the college, he found that the orb had been moved to the Hall of the Elements and was now floating above the energy well in the center of the main lecture room. Tolfdir stood at the well, gazing raptly up at the orb, with Blanche standing next to him. Ben's stoic aunt was wizard, vampire, and Dragonborn, and Ben loved her. She was the main reason he had taken an interest in magic as a boy.
The Dragonborn's Tale 15 – Justice
Solitude was…crowded. Ralof had done his job, though, and they got Ulfric from the Palace of the Kings to the Blue Palace without incident. They arrived the day before the Moot, just ahead of Laila Law-Giver, who was last. Jarl Elisif put most of her guests up in the palace, but Selene and Brynjolf chose to stay at Proudspire Manor, where they were more comfortable. Besides, they had guests of their own. Half the Thieves Guild had turned up to reap the bounty afforded by all those wealthy people congregating for the coronation, which was to be held the day after the Moot. Selene also had a special project in mind for the Guild.

Believe it or not, radiant floors are one of the oldest forms of heating a structure — dating all the way back to Roman times. Radiant floor heat provides numerous benefits, including increased comfort, even temperatures, cleaner air, no cold drafts, no unsightly ductwork and no floor vents, all while being quieter and more energy-efficient compared to forced-air heat. In a radiant floor heating system, warm water flows through tubes located underneath the floors. That warmth radiates up from the floors and warms everything it comes in contact with. Radiant heating is compatible under any type of floor covering — carpet, wood, slate, tile, linoleum, and even concrete — making design possibilities endless. Talk to one of our sales professionals to find out more about in-floor heating.

CLEVELAND — Legal analysis: In Ohio, unless a bill specifically states otherwise, new laws signed by the governor in the previous year take effect on January 1.
Legally speaking, there are quite a few new laws for 2022 that could make a difference in your everyday life, ranging from new voting district maps to limits on abortion access, fending off robocallers and sports betting.
Here's a run down of a few big ones that should be on your radar.
Late last year, Gov. Mike DeWine signed off on a new congressional voting district map for Ohio, which was drawn exclusively by Republicans after Democrats didn't agree that it was fair. While that's supposed to be used for the upcoming elections in November, it's currently being challenged in the Ohio Supreme Court, so we'll have to wait and see what those final boundary lines look like.
In the field of reproductive rights, it's getting tougher to get an abortion in Ohio. Starting March 23, doctors who teach at state-funded hospitals and medical schools won't be able to work at clinics where pregnancies can be terminated. Under the same law, titled the "Born-Alive Infant Protection Act," a new crime is outlined if doctors don't try to save the child's life in the very rare case where a baby is born alive after an abortion attempt. This provision of the law is redundant, since existing homicide laws would already cover this kind of medical malpractice.
Additionally, a child being born in this case is so rare, that it almost never happens. One CDC report on death certificates for infants from 2003 to 2014 showed "143 deaths involving induced terminations" during that 12-year period, and 97 of those involved either a complication for the mother, or a congenital issue. This law is expected to be challenged in court, too.
On the personal communication front, it's now a crime for someone to make it look like they're calling you from a different number. This is called "spoofing," and this law means we should see less fake local phone numbers showing up from robocallers, trying to trick us into picking up the line.
For people who work in the service industry, now you can serve alcohol to customers once you hit age 18. Before, you had to be 19 years old. Business owners hope opening this kind of job up to more people will help out with the worker shortage we've seen across so many different jobs, here in Ohio.
And speaking of jobs, the minimum wage in Ohio just got a little bit higher, thanks to the Ohio Minimum Wage Increase Amendment passed in 2006. It calls for a yearly increase in the minimum wage, proportional to inflation. For most people, this year that requires a fifty cent raise, increased from $8.80 to $9.30 per hour. If you make that much and work forty hours per week, you'll bring in $18,600 before taxes this year. After taxes, that equates to just under $15,000 of take home pay. For people who also earn tips at work, the minimum wage went up twenty five cents, from $4.40 to $4.65 per house.
And if you can afford it, very soon you'll be able to bet on sports in the state. Ohio has all year to roll this out, but as soon as the Ohio Casino Controls Commission can iron out the details people will be able to start rolling the dice on professional, college and e-sports games. The commission expects to start accepting applications to run sports betting as soon as fall of this year.
Stephanie Haney is licensed to practice law in both Ohio and California.

Taken 2- -
In Istanbul, retired CIA operative Bryan Mills and his wife are taken hostage by the father of a kidnapper Mills killed while rescuing his daughter.

Taken 2 revolves around the life of retired CIA operative Bryan Mills. Mills is retired and living a life of luxury. During a family vacation in Istanbul with his family he is discovered by some old enemies. In the original Taken, Mills saved his daughter from kidnappers. Now the tide is turned, and his daughter must save Mills and his supposed wife from the same kidnappers, bent on revenge. The plot is good, the action is good, but is it good family movie fun for the whole family? Let this family movie review continue.
This movie, Taken 2, is an action flick and is very frightening for younger members of the family. Milläó»s daughter in the movie is an older teen of at least 16 years old. There is lots of gunfire and a frightening abduction scene. The villains in the movie are of Middle Eastern origin, not necessarily the best message for teaching diversity to our children. The villains in the movie are built on much too common ethnic stereotypes. The movie involves a violent kidnapping scene where black hoods are placed over the heads of Mills and his wife.
If that is not enough, there is an electrocution scene and graphic portrayals of torture. The entire theme of the movie is based on violent revenge for past and actions. There are car explosions, impossible leaps from tall buildings, and many other forms of violence you would expect in this blood for blood type of action flick.
If you pay close attention to the plot, the woman and daughter with Mills are his ex-wife and daughter. There are many scenes of women begging for their life against horrible villains. They are waiting for a hero to come and save them. I found this movie very disappointing and its portrayal of women and ethnic groups. They stuck to long-standing stereotypes. The movie had foul language used throughout, smoking, drinking, and drug use. There is also a theme of human trafficking in the film as well.
The movie was suggested for ages 13 and above and every parent must make their own decision. However, at Parental Guide, we are dedicated to make certain that this is an informed decision. Taken 2 is an action packed flick that may not be fun for the entire family. Every parent must make that decision for themselves, but at least with this family movie review, you wonäó»t be unpleasantly surprised.

The Philadelphia 76ers were able to knock off the Atlanta Hawks at home on Monday night, but it did not come without some drama involving their superstar center.
While Sixers big man Joel Embiid was dribbling out the clock and finishing up one of the more dominant games of his career in the win over the Hawks, he had the ball stolen from him by Kevin Huerter as there was still some time left on the clock. Embiid did not like what he did and he gave Huerter what appeared to be the middle finger in disgust.
The NBA then reviewed the play and decided to fine Embiid $25,000 for his actions.
Embiid scored a career-high 49 points in the win as he and the Sixers did get the last laugh, but $25,000 is still a hefty chunk of change for flipping the bird.
The Sixers are currently in Cleveland preparing for Andre Drummond and the Cavaliers looking to end a 6-game road losing skid. Tipoff from Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse is set for 7:00 p.m. EST.

Italy orders murder trial in case of missing Pakistani teen
A judge in Italy on Tuesday ordered trial for several family members of an 18-year-old Pakistani woman who disappeared last year after refusing an arranged marriage and was allegedly slain, according to authorities.
The Italian news agency ANSA said Judge Dario De Luca, at the end of a preliminary hearing, set trial on murder charges to begin in the northern town of Reggio Emilia in February 2023.
Saman Abbas, 18, had refused to be married to a cousin in Pakistan as her parents, immigrants to Italy, insisted she should. She disappeared on April 30, 2021, after telling her boyfriend in Italy that her family was talking about killing her.
For two months, some 500 Italian police officers, aided by dogs and drones, searched farm fields near the town where her parents lived, before ending the effort to find her body which Italian authorities suspected was buried in a field.
Ordered to stand trial are an uncle who was extradited from France earlier this year, two cousins, and her parents, who flew to Pakistan from Milan on May 1, 2021. The parents were seen on a video camera as they hurried to a check-in counter at Malpensa airport. They will be tried in absentia after failing to respond to appeals from Italian authorities.
A separate video showed the uncle walking with a shovel and a pitchfork in the countryside near the family's home in Novellara. Interrogated by prosecutors after his extradition, the uncle has denied any role in his niece's disappearance.
In Italy, suspected accomplices to a slaying can face murder charges.
Children of immigrants who grow up in Italy can request Italian citizenship when they turn 18, but Abbas had apparently not done that.
Growing up in northern Italy, Abbas adopted Western-style dress, abandoning the robes and scarves that her mother wore, and dating a Pakistani youth in Italy who, like her, had also adopted Italian ways.

The stage is set at Whistling Straits 2021 for the 43rd Ryder Cup with the USA aiming to gain revenge against Europe after a heavy defeat at Le Golf National in Paris three years ago.
Steve Stricker will hope to pick off Padraig Harrington's men in Wisconsin, though the weather could play a decisive role, which could limit the Americans' advantage from their brawn and heavy-hitting off the tee.
The world golf rankings are filled at the top with Americans, with only Jon Rahm and Louis Oosthuizen breaking up the top 11, which includes, in order: Dustin Johnson, Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Bryson DeChambeau, Tony Finau, Brooks Koepka and Harris English.
The team spirit Europe possess has been the secret ingredient for upsets over the years though and the tourists are already looking to charm the locals into some extra support behind the ropes after wearing 'cheeseheads' in tribute to the local Green Bay Packers.
Here's everything you need to know about the tee times, matches and pairings as the 2021 Ryder Cup begins:

The 12 singles matches, and the order each team is sent out, will be confirmed early on Sunday morning.
Who will be picked for USA and Europe pairings?
Once official, the pairings for Friday's matches will be listed below.
One of which is expected to be Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, with the pair good friends and winning three of the four sessions they played together three years ago at Le Golf National.
Xander Schauffele and Tour Championship winner Patrick Cantlay look to be another lock to pair up, having teamed up at the Presidents Cup in 2019.
Brooks Koepka and Tony Finau, seemingly one of the glue guys to Team USA and happy to play with anybody, could reunite, having paired up three years ago, where they won their opening Four-Ball match 1 up over Justin Rose and Jon Rahm.
But Finau could match up with Daniel Berger given Stricker has sent them out to practice together, while Koepka could swap his partner for rookie Scottie Scheffler, with a practice round scheduled.
Europe could turn to a trusted pairing in Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia, whose history dates way back to The Belfry in 2002, with three wins from four matches together.
While Tommy Fleetwood will be looking for a new partner in crime, with Francesco Molinari not in this year's team, having combined spectacularly together three years ago. Team Europe's live chances of winning the Ryder Cup, according to Betfair, can be seen throughout the week below:
Team USA
- Collin Morikawa
- Dustin Johnson
- Bryson DeChambeau
- Brooks Koepka
- Justin Thomas
- Patrick Cantlay
- Tony Finau (wildcard)
- Xander Schauffele (wildcard)
- Jordan Spieth (wildcard)

Far right lawmakers create white nationalist agenda; Tucker Carlson advances the 'great replacement theory'
Democratic priorities
A bill that grants statehood to Washington, DC, passed the House Oversight Committee last week, setting up a vote before the full House on April 22. It is expected to pass the House but faces a less certain future in the Senate with the 60-vote threshold to break a filibuster. If it were to become a state, DC's 700,000 citizens would make up the country's only plurality-Black state.

The House Judiciary Committee held a historic vote on Wednesday advancing a bill to create a commission on paying reparations to the descendants of people enslaved in the U.S. H.R. 40, sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), would establish a 13-person panel to study the effects of slavery and racial discrimination in the U.S. and recommend appropriate remedies. All Republicans on the Committee voted against advancing the measure.
A bill to address hate crimes directed at Asian-Americans passed a procedural hurdle in the Senate on Wednesday, opening debate on the measure. S.728, sponsored by Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) and Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY), would create a new position at the Justice Department to expedite the review of hate crimes related to the pandemic, require the DOJ to strengthen guidance for state and local government hate crime reporting, and broaden channels for reporting hate crimes.
- Six Republicans opposed moving the bill forward: Sens. Cotton (R-AR), Cruz (R-TX), Hawley (R-MO), Marshall (R-KS), Paul (R-KY), and Tuberville (R-AL). Many Republican objections to the bill originate in its language connecting the rise in hate crimes to the pandemic. For instance, Cruz called the measure "a Democratic messaging vehicle designed to push the demonstrably false idea that it is somehow racist to acknowledge that Covid-19 originated in Wuhan, China".
A group of three Congressional Democrats introduced legislation to expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices on Thursday. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), and Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-NY), was quickly dismissed by lawmakers from both sides of the aisle. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told reporters "it's an idea that should be considered" but she has "no plans to bring it to the floor."
Sen. Markey: "Senate Republicans have politicized the Supreme Court, undermined its legitimacy, and threatened the rights of millions of Americans, especially people of color, women, and our immigrant communities. This legislation will restore the Court's balance and public standing and begin to repair the damage done to our judiciary and democracy, and we should abolish the filibuster to ensure we can pass it."

President Biden's second large legislative package, to shore up America's infrastructure, faces an uncertain future in Congress as certain issues already divide the Democratic caucus. One of the biggest sticking points is the SALT deduction cap imposed by Republicans in their 2017 tax bill, limiting the state and local tax dedication people can take when calculating their federal income tax at $10,000.
Democrats in favor of lifting the cap point to its politically motivated origin – Americans in blue states largely benefit from the deduction. However, the main beneficiaries of a SALT cap repeal are high-income Americans, leading some Democrats to support the cap. Reps. Thomas Suozzi (D-NY), Bill Pascrell (D-NJ), and Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) released a joint statement vowing to oppose the entire infrastructure bill unless the SALT deduction is restored: "No SALT, no deal." On the other side of the issue, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told reporters:
"I don't think that we should be holding the infrastructure package hostage for a 100-percent full repeal on SALT, especially in the case of a full repeal… Personally, I can't stress how much that I believe that is a giveaway to the rich."
Republican priorities
Meanwhile, a group of Republicans is preparing a counteroffer to Biden's $2.3 trillion infrastructure bill, estimated to be about one-third the size. While there is not yet a consensus on what will be included, Republicans have objected to the corporate tax hikes in the Democratic proposal and complain that it includes provisions that they say don't count as infrastructure. They suggest that the government impose "user-fees" to consumers of federal services and goods to pay for an infrastructure bill:
"My own view is that the pay-for ought to come from people who are using it. So if it's an airport, the people who are flying," Sen. Mitt Romney told reporters on Wednesday. "If it's a port, the people who are shipping into the port; if it's a rail system, the people who are using the rails; If it's highways, it ought to be gas if it's a gasoline-powered vehicle."
Critics say such a plan would shift the financial burden from companies onto people:
"At a time when they have been struggling, even before the pandemic, but especially during the pandemic … to lay an additional burden on them is completely unfair and it's unacceptable," [AFSCME President Lee] Saunders said. "The American people believe, and as a matter of fact the polls show this, that corporations should step up to the plate and share the burden and accept the responsibility of putting the house back in order."

A draft document outlining a new caucus led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was leaked to the media on Friday, sparking widespread backlash from both parties. The 'America First Caucus' includes Reps. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Barry Moore (R-AL), and Louie Gohmert (R-TX); Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) tweeted Friday that he would also be joining. In its introductory document, the Caucus aims to support "uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions" and only accept immigrants who "have demonstrated respect for this nation's culture". These white nationalist tropes have been seen before in America, in the early 1900s:
In the 1920 publication "The Rising Tide of Color: The Threat Against White World Supremacy," Lothrop Stoddard made the same claims, warning that white Americans were being engulfed by the more "fertile" nonwhite races. Americans of "Anglo-Saxon origin," he insisted, had to restrict immigration to preserve their country for "future generations who have a right to demand of us that they shall be born white in a white man's land."
…This popular panic over immigration helped revive the Ku Klux Klan, which pressed the issue aggressively in the early 1920s. The Klan's imperial wizard warned in 1922 about "the tremendous influx of foreign immigration, tutored in alien dogmas and alien creeds, slowly pushing the native-born white American population into the center of the country, there to be ultimately overwhelmed and smothered."
Faced with backlash from even House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Greene walked back the very existence of the Caucus the next day… despite her spokesperson seemingly affirming the group hours earlier.
"Be on the look out for the release of the America First Caucus platform when it's announced to the public very soon," [Greene's spokesperson Nick] Dyer said in a statement to CNN Friday.
"The Congresswoman wants to make clear that she is not launching anything. This was an early planning proposal and nothing was agreed to or approved," he said in an email to CNN [on Saturday afternoon].
Rep. Gosar also tried to distance himself from the Caucus, claiming he never heard of the leaked document before media reports. "I will continue to work on America First issues in the House Freedom Caucus," he said in a written statement. "I will not let the lying media deter me from the America First work I have been championing for years in the House Freedom Caucus and with President Trump".
The nationalist and anti-immigrant themes of the America First Caucus came on the heels of Tucker Carlson's embrace of "replacement theory" live on Fox News. The previous week, Carlson told his audience that Democrats are trying to "replace the current electorate" with "more obedient voters from the Third World" (clip. The Anti-Defamation League immediately called out the white nationalist roots of such an argument:
While couching his argument in terms of what he described as the Democratic Party attempting to replace traditional voters with immigrants from third-world countries, Carlson's rhetoric was not just a dog whistle to racists – it was a bullhorn.
Make no mistake: this is dangerous stuff. The "great replacement theory" is a classic white supremacist trope that undergirds the modern white supremacist movement in America. It is a concept that is discussed almost daily in online racist fever swamps. It is a notion that fueled the hateful chants of "Jews will not replace us!" in Charlottesville in 2017. And it has lit the fuse in explosive hate crimes, most notably the hate-motivated mass shooting attacks in Pittsburgh, Poway and El Paso, as well as in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The ADL called for his firing; Fox News CEO Lachlan Murdoch refused and Carlson doubled down on his position: "Now, I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term 'replacement,' if you suggest that the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World. But … let's just say it: That's true." (Clip).

Far-right Republican representatives voted against three pieces of legislation that passed with overwhelming bipartisan support last week. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-FL) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) voted against a bill that reauthorized a national bone marrow donor program… for reasons that have nothing to do with the legislation. Boebert claimed the "bill added hundreds of millions of dollars to the national debt," but it does not; it doesn't add any money to the national debt. Greene, on the other hand, claimed to object to "the funding of aborted fetal tissue by taxpayers," something that the National Marrow Program does not use.
Eight House Republicans voted against the Protecting Seniors from Emergency Scams Act: Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Thomas Massie (R-KY), Ralph Norman (R-SC), and Chip Roy (R-TX).
13 Republicans voted against the Fraud and Scam Reduction Act, which creates an advisory office to help monitor scams targeting seniors: Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Mo Brooks (R-AL), Ken Buck (R-CO), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Good (R-VA), Gosar (R-AZ), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Hice (R-GA), Thomas Massie (R-KY), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Chip Roy (R-TX), and Pete Sessions (R-TX).

Is Upgrade by S&P Relevant for India? - Rajeev Upadhyay
This week positive news came from global rating agency S&P. S&P has upgraded India's rating from negative to stable position. This means India is slightly in better position than earlier. This was done perhaps on account of higher GDP growth during last quarter and higher expected GDP growth rate that India is expected to post this fiscal year. S&P has also cited that it has higher faith in current regime in India as government would take decisions on time.
