I'm sure it happens to all of us. You're at stuck at home while friends or family members are having fun exploring places in far-flung corners of the world.
This post is a case in point. This morning I received an email from our Australian friends who are currently in the south of France. Knowing how much I love plants—especially succulents—my good mate Bill sent me some photos from the Jardin exotique d'Èze (pronounced "eh-zz").
Be still, my beating heart!
Èze is a small town of 3,000 on the French Riviera, less than 10 miles from Nice. It is famous for its stunning views of the Mediterranean, the best of which can be had from the Jardin exotique.

1905 - Einstein involved negative time in* SRT
( nobody knew what negative time really was)
1908 - Minkowski* said that Einstein's* equations look ''ugly''
And he gave beautiful mathematical* solution changing
Einstein's ''ugly'' negative time into a positive time.
Minkowski* explained his solution as a* ''space-cone''
Today professors say to students:
''you cannot be physicists if you don't understand* Minkowski's
beautiful mathematical solution''*
( but nobody explains* what ''space-cone''* or 4-D* really is )
Then in 1919* Kaluza and* O.Klein* involved* 5-D
And* in 1969* ''string''- physicists involved 11-D, 27-D, M-D*
These* super - D* have never been observed, but physicists believe
that they are on the right way
You cannot do more complex arithmetic if you don't know what* 2+2 = 4
and if you don't know what 4-D really* is,* then more complex dimensions
are only* mathematical play for mathematicians
a) Classic view: dimension = direction
There are Descartes' three dimensions in space as
three directions in space. The point where all directions
are united shows place where object is.
We don't need more dimension, 3-D is enough to solve problem.
Looking on watch we know at what time object was in this point.
b) Minkowskki view:
there are four dimensions in space as four direction in space
but this ''space'' is not ordinary but very specific '' an absolute spacetime''.
In this ''absolute spacetime'' we don't know the point and time
where object is exactly.

|Lesson 1: How to Create a Project
|Lesson 3: How to Create and Use Term Bases
What is a Translation Memory?
A translation memory (or TM) is a database made up of segments of original source text and translations of each of these segments. These segments can be sentences, paragraphs, headings, etc. A pair of source and translated segments is called a "translation unit" (TU). A TU is created in real time and stored in the TM as the source text is translated into the target language.
Using TMs has several benefits. Translators can reuse translations, which speeds up the translation process and reduces costs. TMs also help to ensure that translations are consistent. This is especially useful when, for example, different translators are working on the same project for a specific client.
Even if you already have a TM that you've prepared for your project, you'll still need to create one in Memsource before you can upload yours into the project. Below, you'll find the steps to creating a new TM in Memsource.
Video Length 1:32
Step 1: To create a translation memory, you can either use the Create New button on the Translation Memories page or use the plus sign (+) in the navigation panel.
Step 2: Fill in the following mandatory fields:
- Name
- Give your new translation memory a name. Remember that you will be able to use it for other projects later on as well, so it does not have to be specific to just this project.
- Source Language
- The source language is the original language of your document. Only one source language can be selected per translation memory.
- Target Language
- A target language is a language that you will be translating into. There can be an unlimited number of target languages in a translation memory.
Step 3: Click the Create button at the bottom to complete the setup of your translation memory. This will redirect you back to the Project page. You'll notice that the Translation Memories section now has a (1) and an arrow next to the title. Click on the arrow to expand this section and see your new TM.
If you'd previously made a translation memory for your project outside of Memsource, you are now ready to upload it. See Step 4 below for how to go about this. If not, you're ready to go on to Lesson 3.
Step 4: Existing translation memories can be imported into Memsource using TMX or XLSX formats. To do this, first click on the TM you created in Steps 1-3. There will be three sections to this page: Search, Import/Export, and Related Projects. In the Import/Export section, there will be a button called Import. When you click this button, you will see the following popup:
Click Choose File and import your TM. Do this for all the TMs you want to add to this project.
Note: This section also has an Export button and a button called Align that you can use to create a TM. To use the Align feature, you need an original document in your source language and that same document in your target language. You can then align the two documents to make your translation memory.
Step 5: To use the translation memory in a project, navigate to the project in question, scroll down to the Translation Memories section and click Select. You can learn more about working with projects in Lesson 1.
Step 6: With the translation memory attached, anyone working on jobs from that project in Memsource Editor can leverage the results from the translation memory in real time. Also, confirming a segment in either one of the Editors will automatically save the translation into the translation memory. These will show up as suggestions in similar translations in the future.
If you want to learn more about the Memsource Editor, see the Getting Started Guide for Linguists. To find out more about working with TMs, see our main Translation Memories article.

Hadoop 3.x is the latest release of Hadoop which is still in alpha phase. Developers who are interested in Hadoop can install the product and report to Apache if they found any issues or bugs. There are many new features that are introduced in Hadoop 3.x.
In this blog, we will be discussing about how to install Hadoop 3.x in a pseudo distributed mode and exploring HDFS new features.
Here are the list of changes and features that are introduced in Hadoop 3.x
- Minimum required Java version increased from Java 7 to Java 8
- Support for erasure encoding in HDFS
- YARN Timeline Service v.2
- Shell script rewrite
- MapReduce task-level native optimization
- Support for more than 2 NameNodes
- Default ports of multiple services have been changed
- Support for Microsoft Azure Data Lake filesystem connector
- Intra-datanode balancer
- Reworked daemon and task heap management
We also recommend our users to go for our blog 10 differences between Hadoop2.x and Hadoop3.x.
Hadoop 3.x Installation Procedure
Let's get started with Hadoop 3.x installation
Download latest version of Hadoop release from here
We have downloaded Hadoop3.0.0.alpha2.tar.gz
After downloading, move into the downloaded folder and extract it using the command
tar -xzf hadoop3.0.0.alpha2.tar.gz
Note: We believe that Java is already installed in your system. The minimum JDK required for Hadoop3.x is jdk8.
Setting JAVA_HOME path
Now move into the etc/hadoop/ directory of unzipped hadoop-3.0.0-alpha2 folder and set the JAVA_HOME path in the hadoop-env.sh file
To get the path of JAVA_HOME in your machine, open your terminal and type $JAVA_HOME
In our case, the path is /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle and the same we have set in the hadoop-env.sh file as shown in the below screenshot.
After setting the Java path, save and close the file.
Configuring core-site.xml file
Now open the core-site.xml file which is present in the etc/hadoop/ directory and set the below properties of your distributed file system.
<configuration> <property> <name>fs.defaultFS</name> <value>hdfs://localhost:9000</value> </property> </configuration>
Configuring hdfs-site.xml file
Open the hdfs-site.xml file in the same location and set the below property for replication.
<configuration> <property> <name>dfs.replication</name> <value>1</value> </property> </configuration>
Here in hdfs-site.xml, for storing the metadata of namenode and datanode, you need to create two folders and you need to set the path of those folders here.
<property> <name>dfs.namenode.name.dir</name> <value>/home/kiran/Downloads/Hadoop/Hadoop3_data/NameNode</value> </property> <property> <name>dfs.datanode.data.dir</name> <value>/home/kiran/Downloads/Hadoop/Hadoop3_data/DataNode</value> </property>
We have created a folder called Hadoop3_data and inside we have created 2 directories with names NameNode & DataNode
The same you can see in the below screenshot.
Configuring ssh & pdsh
Install and setup ssh
If you are using Debian OS, install ssh with the below command
sudo apt-get install ssh
If you are using a Non-debian OS, install ssh with the below command
yum install openssh-server
After the installation, generate the ssh key with the below commands
Generate ssh key for hadoop user using the command:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -P '' -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa Copy the public key from .ssh directory to authorized_keys folder. Change the directory to .ssh and then type the below command to copy the files into the authorized _keys folder. cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys To ensure whether the keys have been copied, type the command: cat authorized_keys Change the permission of the .ssh directory. chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Install and setup pdsh
If you are using debian OS, install pdsh using the below command
sudo apt-get install pdsh
If you are using Non debian OS, install pdsh using the below commands
yum update rpm -Uvh http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos6/1.x/GA/ambari-1.x-1.el6.noarch.rpm yum install pdsh
After installing, copy the ssh file into pdsh. For copying, you need to enter root user
Enter the root user using the command sudo and then type the below command.
echo "ssh" > /etc/pdsh/rcmd_default
Now let's configure YARN
Configuring mapred-site.xml file
Open mapred-site.xml file in etc/hadoop/ and set the below parameters. First you need to change the name of mapred-site.xml.template to mapred-site.xml
<configuration> <property> <name>mapreduce.framework.name</name> <value>yarn</value> </property> <property> <name>mapreduce.admin.user.env</name> <value>HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME=$HADOOP_COMMON_HOME</value> </property> <property> <name>yarn.app.mapreduce.am.env</name> <value>HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME=$HADOOP_COMMON_HOME</value> </property> </configuration>
Configuring yarn-site.xml file
Open yarn-site.xml file etc/hadoop/ directory and set the below parameters
<configuration> <property> <name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services</name> <value>mapreduce_shuffle</value> </property> </configuration>
Configuring bashrc
After setting the properties in the Hadoop configuration files, save and close the files. Now open bashrc file which is in your home directory.
cd gedit .bashrc
In the bashrc file, set the path of hadoop3 as shown below
export HADOOP_HOME=/home/kiran/Downloads/Hadoop/hadoop-3.0.0-alpha2 export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/bin export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/sbin
After setting, save and close the file and now update the bashrc file using the command source .bashrc
NameNode Format
That's it your Hadoop 3.x is ready. Let's now format the name node.
Use the command ./hdfs namenode -format in the $HADOOP_HOME/bin directory
After successful format, you will get the message as shown in the below screen shot
We have successfully formatted the namenode, let's now start the Hadoop daemons one by one. Move into the $HADOOP_HOME/sbin directory and type the below commands
Starting Hadoop daemons
Starting HDFS daemons
Starting name node
./hadoop-daemon.sh start namenode
Starting datanode
./hadoop-daemon.sh start datanode
Starting secondary namenode
./hadoop-daemon.sh start secondarynamenode
Starting YARN daemons
Starting Resource Manager
./yarn-daemon.sh start resourcemanager
Starting Node Manager
./yarn-daemon.sh start nodemanager
We have successfully started all the Hadoop daemons. You can check their status using the jps command.
You can also start all these commands using one command i.e., start-all.sh as shown in the below screenshot.
Exploring HDFS
In Hadoop 3.x, HDFS come up with some new features to deal with the files, you can do all kinds of storage operations from web UI itself. Let's see how to do that.
In Hadoop 2.x, web UI port is 50070 but in Hadoop3.x, it is moved to 9870. You can access HDFS web UI from localhost:9870 as shown in the below screenshot
You can see all the HDFS configurations in this page, to access webHDFS, click on Utilities–>Browse the file system
You can see few options added in it i.e., Creation of New folder, Upload files, Cut and Paste files from one directory to another directory.
Before creating the folder, make sure that the user has correct permissions to perform operations on that directories. If not, you can change the permissions using the command
hadoop fs -chmod -R 777 /
Let's create a new folder and upload some data into it. To create a new folder, click on the folder icon and give some name to the directory as shown below.
You can see that the folder has been created successfully in the below screenshot
To upload files, click on upload symbol and browse your file system to select the file that you need to upload.
You can also delete the files by clicking on the delete symbol beside the directory or file as shown in the below screenshot.
You can also cut and paste the files from one directory to another directory.
Select the files which you want to cut and click on cut option and then click on Ok as shown below.
Now move into the folder where ever you want to paste this file and just click on Paste option. After clicking on Paste, you can see that file has been pasted in that directory as shown in the below screenshot.
This is how you can perform operations on files using HDFS web UI in Hadoop 3.x.
We hope this blog helped you in understanding how to install Hadoop 3.x in a single node cluster and how to perform operation on HDFS files using HDFS web UI.
Enroll for Hadoop Training conducted by Acadgild and become a successful big data developer.

The search for hot naughty girls
I am looking for some really hot naughty girls, but I have noticed that most London escorts seem so nice and clean cut these days. It is very hard to find an escort who looks a bit naughty, and have that certain look in her eye. What is going on here? I used to date a lot of London hot babes in my younger days. Then I have it all up when I got married, but now after my divorce, I would like to start dating London escorts again.
The problem is that everything seems to have changed, and the girls look like professional models now. Many of the girls give me the impression of do not touch, and it does not feel right somehow. I was wondering if you would be able to help find a good old fashioned escort for some sexy companionship. The most important criteria are that she must still have the glint in her eye, and be able to be a bit naughty. So far, I have mainly been looking in the Kensington and Mayfair areas. This is where I used to date when I was younger, but things certainly seem to have changed. I have never seen so many posh girls in sexy lingerie. Thank you, Dave.
Dear Dave,
It was good to hear from you. Yes, the London escorts industry has really moved on and things have changed a lot like the ones. It is now a multi-million-pound business here in the UK and is very competitive. You have probably come across a lot of new exciting terms such as duo dating, escorts for couples and some exotic massage terms as well. The world is now truly your oyster when you date here in London.
I know what you mean when you say dating with a girl who has a certain glint in her eyes. This is a good core value to have for any escorts, but most London escorts services are a lot of more sophisticated these days. They aim towards the international business traveler, and most of the time, they can be rather expensive as well. I do, however, appreciate exactly what you are looking for and I think you are much more likely to find this sort of girl working for East London escorts services. The original naughty girl is long gone from central London, and you are much more likely to meet some serious posh girls in this part of town.
If you go enter the search term London girls and naughty London escorts, you are much more likely to find what you need. It is a good idea to try some East End escorts agencies, but at the same time, you may want to check out areas such as Romford and Ilford. In these areas, you will be much more likely to find what I refer to as classical escorts services. This is probably much more inline what you are looking for, and I am sure that you will have a good time.

Everywhere you look in shops at the moment, statement sleeves are taking centre stage. From billowing to puffed, lacy and general boho effect, this is my favourite fashion feature for the spring/summer season so far.
I love this simple way of adding a little extra detail to style proceedings. Whether investing in work wear, school gate outfits or shopping for a date night or weekend away, the best bit is; you'll probably need to dodge washing up whilst wearing one. Such a shame.
I found a few favourites in Next this season such as this striped number costing a snip at £20, finished off with a bit of broderie anglaise, which you can find in yellow as well. They have lots of sleeve picks available, covering stripes, sports luxe, going out tops, dresses and more.
Also on the high street, Quiz Clothing are offering the above beauties at a purse-friendly price. The buys pictured at the top are- Cream Ruffle Lace Up Blouse (£29.99) and Pink Lace Bell Sleeve Top (£22.99). Adding in some Victoriana-esque ruffles and lace textures, these are two huge trends popping up for SS17 too.
Other top shopping picks cover Zara and good old Marks & Spencer, both featuring classic and bold colours. At this time of year, I start tentatively adding a bit of extra brightness into my wardrobe and a fresh sleeve is the perfect way to do this.
Whatever your sartorial direction, this is a simple trend to follow. It does give you an extra edge, and take basic jeans up a significant style notch. Or, you could get involved with a gorgeous shirt dress. Come summer, I'm thinking of pairing tops like these with a maxi skirt and freshly painted toenails. Not long to go now.

McKinley Landing is a quaint, lakeside community nestled on the North side of Kelowna, BC. This semi-rural community is home to both permanent year-round residents and a large spattering of seasonal residents flocking to their lakeside retreats during the famous Okanagan summer months.
Located a short and picturesque fifteen minute drive from downtown Kelowna, McKinley Landing is quickly becoming a sought after refuge for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of suburbia. An eclectic mix of architecture from sprawling farmsteads in the McKinley highlands to multimillion dollar modern estates perched high over Okanagan Lake can be found in McKinley Landing.
The community of McKinley Landing is actively working together, using the McKinley Landing Residents Association as its voice, to improve and enhance the community while preserving the reasons that residents have chosen to live in this beautiful, unspoiled area of Kelowna.

Meet the Millennial Politicians on the Northwest Side
How did two millennials with no political experience get elected on the Northwest Side?
Most of the 32 aldermen who won in February found out about their election victories at campaign parties or at home with family. In true millennial fashion, Carlos Ramirez-Rosa learned of his while sitting in his car, alone, checking Facebook. The 26-year-old thumped incumbent Rey Colon in the 35th Ward, earning 67 percent of the vote.
That by itself would be surprising. But curiously, Ramirez-Rosa hails from basically the same part of the city that just elected another 20-something, Will Guzzardi, to the state legislature, ousting incumbent (and daughter of the Cook County assessor) Toni Berrios. The swath of Chicago they call home—an area covering parts of Logan Square, Humboldt Park, and Hermosa—is proving to be ground zero for fresh-faced young politicians defeating powerful incumbents. So what gives?
"That area is changing," says Dick Simpson, a professor of political science at the University of Illinois at Chicago. "It's heavily Latino, but it is gentrifying and bringing in people who don't want to go with the old machine."
Consider the part of Logan Square with the ZIP code 60647, which has the largest overlap between Guzzardi's 39th District and Ramirez-Rosa's 35th Ward. From 2000 to 2010, its Hispanic population declined from 68 percent to 55 percent, while the white population rose from 23 percent to 35 percent. What's more, the population of residents ages 25 to 45 grew from 38 percent in 2000 to 43 percent in 2010.
Simpson says 30- and 40-year-olds are the group effecting change most: "A lot of them have children who go to school." (Ramirez-Rosa and Guzzardi both vigorously protested Chicago's school closings.)
Ramirez-Rosa agrees that the demographic groups here have different priorities from those in moneyed neighborhoods such as River North and Lincoln Park (which voted overwhelmingly for Rahm Emanuel). "I think Logan Square is a place of public workers, of teachers, of artists, of folks that work in the nonprofit sector, and Latino working families," Ramirez-Rosa says. "People who want to see independent leadership that's accountable to their neighborhoods. And I think that's why they've been willing to give Will Guzzardi and me an opportunity."
The community organizer is contemplating going to law school—after he sets up a constituent services office for his ward, that is.
The former Huffington Post editor first ran for the legislature in 2012—before he could even rent a car—and lost by only 125 votes.

Imaginary Cities: Fall of Romance
The concoction of two cooperating voices, a great sense of melody and the ability to make everything sound grand doesn't quite deliver what it could, but still makes you want to embrace it.
Imaginary Cities
Fall of RomanceLabel: WEA / Votiv
US Release Date: 2013-05-28
UK Release Date: 2013-05-28
Fall of Romance, the second album by the Canadian Polaris-nominated indie pop act Imaginary Cities, begins with a ditty called "All the Time" (not counting the scene-setting but largely unimportant short intro). It's a song that yearns to be big, both in scale and in the emotional impact it wants to achieve in its listeners. It has a gradual build from intimate to enormous, it has dramatic pianos and gospel choruses, soaring middle-eights and extended finales for the crowd to sing along with. It tries so desperately to be a Huge Moment that it's almost a textbook example of one. But you know what – it achieves its goals. It's the sort of opener that continues to echo in the listener's mind even when the album's moved on to other things; it sets the scene and opens the album in such a gorgeous way that it almost endangers to overshadow everything else before everything else has even had a chance to play. It's an excellent song and if Imaginary Cities need a calling card, this is it. Right from its very beginning, Fall of Romance wants to sound like a classic album.
"All the Time" is a minor anomaly on Fall of Romance because after it, Imaginary Cities largely strip down the grandeur, leaving the gospel choirs and other budget-breaking production choices behind. On one hand, it's a little disappointing because it's allowed us a taste of something lovely and now we want more, but on the other hand it helps to reveal who Imaginary Cities really are: a group that manages to take small elements and turn them into lush musical statements on their own, straddling somewhere between intimate and universal. Throughout the album songs start out as something small and suddenly turn into lush, towering anthems without ever really moving away from where they began. The title track is a great example. "Fall of Romance" is a gently strummed mid-tempo number that seems rather unassuming for a title track initially, but suddenly it hits a swooning melody so gorgeous in its chorus that the once bedroom-sized song suddenly touches something very universally beautiful and becomes something big and important. This occurs throughout the album and the moments never get any less exciting: "9 and 10" and "Bells of Cologne" (the only other big production number here, because with a title like that you just need some big bells to go along) in particular are excellent landmark moments for the band that make you believe you might have hit something special, simply because of their wonderful melodies and the way the band employ them.
The secret weapon that Imaginary Cities accentuate their music with is their singers. There are bands with great vocalists and then there are bands that use their vocalists in a great way, and Imaginary Cities fall in the latter category. That isn't to say that anything's lacking in the voice department for their two mouthpieces: Marti Sarbit's raspy, soulful tone stands out instantly in a very positive way and is a big part of the appeal in many songs, while Rusty Matyas' softer, harmonious tone has a nice amount of charisma of its own whenever he steps in front of the microphone. The key thing is that the Sarbit and Matyas understand that their two very different voices can complement one another really well and they shamelessly take advantage of it all the time. The two singers trade the lead vocal position (although Sarbit spends most of the time in said place), underline each other's strong moments with their own frequently and harmonise, back-and-forth and answer each other's cues. It works incredibly well and often either helps accentuate the songs' strengths or mask weaker moments where they might be.
There aren't many weaker moments on Fall of Romance but they're confined to the final stretch of the album and act as a rather negative reflection to how strongly the album started. "A Way With Your Words" tries to be the personal moment of the album, stripping the elements down to an acoustic guitar and Matyas' voice for the most part, but it ends up sounding like the least naturally flowing part of the album; a too conscious effort in sounding intimate. "Who's Watching You" on the other hand is just good old poor judgment. It's Imaginary Cities wanting to show that they can ROCK but they aren't a band who really lends itself to that and the result is like a one-off live novelty cover, and the guest vocals from the Sheepdogs' Ewan Currie are way too over-the-top to go with the rest of the Imaginary Cities vocal cast. The classily swaying "Water Under the Bridge" and the bombastic final bow "Still Waiting So Cold" fare better, but the former isn't strong enough to really lift the album back to its legs and the overly short latter track finishes before it does. It's an underwhelming, even if not a bad ending to an album that for most of its duration showcases something that could be rather special.
The strengths outweigh the flaws however. Fall of Romance is special in the way that it makes you want to believe in the act: it's not an extraordinary album, "merely" rather good, but Imaginary Cities themselves flash brilliance throughout in the way they create their melodies, make particular moments sound extraordinary and how they perform throughout the album. They make you want to fall in love with their music and quite often the songs themselves back the notion. All they need is a little more songs in the calibre of "All the Time", even if not exact facsimiles of it, and they could make the step up from award nominees to winners. For now, Fall of Romance is a rather good way of spending time with them.

WASHINGTON, January 21, 2018: From the adoption of our Constitution's First Amendment, and even before, Americans have endorsed the concept that government should not be involved in the affairs of religion. The term that has been used to paraphrase that belief is "the separation of Church and State." What it means is that government cannot make laws that favor one religion over any other in this country.
It also follows that our government cannot make laws related to the establishment of religion or that in any way encroach upon the free expression of religious beliefs. Yet since this principle became bedrock, our courts and our elected officials have continued to push the envelope.
Read also: Self-Driving Cars: We the people will be the test-dummies
Most Americans have a general understanding that church and state are supposed to be separate. Despite God's past and present popularity in many quarters, from early days in our country's formation to today, the concept that our government should not get involved in the religious activities of worshipers is generally accepted.
Church and State in America: A short history
In 1644, Roger Williams, the founder of the first Baptist Church in America and of Rhode Island as well, wrote a letter- much since quoted – offering his opinions about religion in the new world. Williams said opening a gap in the garden of the Church would result in the church becoming a wilderness.
When they (the Church) opens a gap in the hedge or wall of separation between the garden of the church and the wilderness of the world… "
This idea eventually became bedrock belief in the then-British colonies, ultimately leading to the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment, which was adopted in December 1791:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof… (the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause).
Also found in the Constitution (Article 6):
No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
Thomas Jefferson was later credited (a letter he wrote in 1802 to the Danbury, Connecticut Baptist Association) with coining the phrase "separation between church and state":
I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.
In 1868, the 14th Amendment to the Constitution was added. Pertinently here, this amendment extended the scope of the entire First Amendment to all levels of government, including states and state governments.
An uninformed jurist?
Perhaps his honor, Texas Judge Jack Robinson, did not get any of these memos. A woman was recently on trial in the judge's courtroom, accused of trafficking a teen girl for sex. Robinson interrupted the jury's deliberations to tell them that God told him the defendant was not guilty. His honor apologized to jurors for the interruption, but told them "when God tells me I gotta do something, I gotta do it." The jury apparently defied God. They convicted the woman, and later gave her 25 years in prison.
Sample cases involving schools
A review of court cases over the years that have involved God, religion and the government's role in religion must begin with what famously came to be known as the Scopes Trial, or the Scopes Monkey Trial.
Back in 1925, a Tennessee state law banned teaching evolution. The law required instead that schools teach a religion-based course on how we all got here.
John Scopes, a substitute high school teacher at a state-funded school, was charged with violating that law by teaching the "non-religious" evolution theory. The central issue of the trial essentially was whether "modern science" should be taught in schools. Ultimately, Scopes was convicted of violating state and was fined. But the verdict was later overturned on a technicality.
The Supreme Court in 1948 decided McCollum v. Board of Education and found that religious instruction in public schools was a violation of Church and State and unconstitutional.
In 1962 the Supreme Court held in Engle v. Vitale that any kind of prayer, composed by public school districts, even nondenominational prayer, was an unconstitutional sponsorship of religion.
Bible reading over a public school intercom was deemed unconstitutional in 1963 in the Court's Abington School District v. Schempp case. Forcing a child to participate is a no-no.
In 1968, in Epperson v. Arkansas, the Supremes struck down a law prohibiting the teaching of evolution. Public schools may not conduct religious observances such as prayer.
Church rights
This past summer a Missouri church that had applied for a state grant to resurface its preschool playground was awarded that funding. A lawsuit seeking to bar the funding on separation of church and state grounds was initially granted but then overturned, reasoning that states cannot deny public benefits to religious institutions that are otherwise qualified.
In other words, churches should be allowed to receive government funding if the money is used for non-religious purposes.
As early as 1947 that concept was understood. The Supreme Court held in Everson v. Board of Education that the state of New Jersey paying for the transportation of students attending a private religious school was acceptable and not a violation of church and state principles. Justice Black recognized in his opinion activities that were indisputably marked off from the "religious function" of schools. In other words, bus transportation is not part of religion.
Continuing that theme, states can refuse to award scholarship funds to college students pursuing divinity degrees in preparation for the ministry. Government funding for religious instruction is a no-no. Locke v. Davey (2004).
Right to assemble?
Need a permit? Not if non-religious groups do not. States cannot require special permits for religious solicitation if they are not required for other types of group or association meetings or gatherings. Cantwell v. Connecticut (1940).
Religious beliefs?
Separation of church and state applies only to government, not private employers. Private companies can fire people who refuse to work because of their religious beliefs (Sabbath day, for instance). Thornton v. Caldor (1985).
But a Jewish chaplain in the Air Force was penalized for wearing a yarmulke (skull cap) in defiance of regulations. The Court held that the military's interest in uniformity outweighed the individual's right to free exercise of his religion. Goldman v. Weinberger (1986).
Oregon was allowed to deny unemployment benefits to someone fired from a job for illegally smoking peyote during a religious ceremony. The Free Exercise Clause does not excuse people from obeying the law. Employment Division v. Smith (1990).
Religious objects
A six-foot monument displaying the Ten Commandments placed with other monuments next to a Texas State Capitol would not lead an observer to conclude that the state endorsed the religious message. Van Orden v. Perry (2005).
Two large framed copies of the Ten Commandments in a Kentucky courthouse were determined not to be religiously neutral. Therefore, their placement in a courthouse violated the Establishment Clause. McCreary County v. ACLU (2005).
Interesting end-notes
While Texas Judge Robinson said he did what he had to do, in reality, he did what he wanted to do. So too did two Presidents. Only after they had purposely trampled the line between Church and State, they did not recuse themselves as the judge did.
Beginning with President George W. Bush and followed a decade later by President Obama, it seems those in power really can decide to do what they want to do by placing encroachments upon the separation of church and state principle.
Early in his Presidency, Mr. Bush created, by executive fiat (without congressional approval) the "Faith-Based and Community Initiative Program." The goal was to enable religious organizations to provide compassionate care for the poor by receiving Federal grants on the same basis as other groups. Though an otherwise fine idea, the Bush program stood in naked violation of the First Amendment.
New York Times Opinion piece, December 30, 2002:
President Bush punched a dangerous hole in the wall between church and state earlier this month by signing an executive order that eases the way for religious groups to receive federal funds to run social services programs. The president's unilateral order, which wrongly cut Congress out of the loop, lets faith-based organizations use tax dollars to win converts and gives them a green light to discriminate in employment. It should be struck down by the courts.
President Bush upended centuries of First Amendment law holding that government dollars could not be used to promote religion. He claimed the money would not be used directly to support religious activities. The reality, as the program rolled out over the next decade, was that religious people with the new government funding did indeed provide social services that included religious-based themes.
Black churches were mostly ignored under Bush's initiative. The official explanation was that they couldn't pull off the delivery of the social services.
President Obama tweaked the program and created the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, a taskforce made up of church-state "experts" from across "the ideological spectrum." The taskforce identified numerous ways to strengthen the constitutional and legal footing of the social service partnerships.
Noted Joshua DuBois, then the executive director of the program:
Groups are reminded they must keep their religious activities entirely separate in time and location, from the services provided with federal funds. But they are not required to remove religious signs and symbols from their facilities or religious references from their names.
There are hundreds of examples of the violation of the concept of church and state separation. Hmmm. The lesson is that basically anything can be justified.

Huntersville, NC – This new racing gear oil from Driven dominated the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule in the summer of 2015, with wins in six races. It is now also available for hobby racers to run on short tracks and road courses.
Driven 75W-140 Racing Gear Oil is a synthetic blend used by top race teams. It reduces operating temperatures by up to 15 degrees more than other brands. The oil also reduces friction and provides shear-stable viscosity for outstanding gear durability. It eliminates the pitting and scratching of gear sets seen as a result of lower viscosity oils, and it does not increase drag or reduce horsepower. Even after six hours of driving it maintains its viscosity, and extended change intervals allow it to be used race after race. These performance gains can be just the advantage needed to reach Victory Lane. Driven Racing OilTM 75W-140 Racing Gear Oil is available in quart bottles or cases of 12.

More than three times as many American adults have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis than was believed, a new analysis has found.
The diseases, both classified as types of inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, contribute to a diminished quality of life and costly medical complications, said analysts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Investigators reviewed data from the 2015 National Health Interview Survey and found that an estimated 3.1 million U.S. adults, or about 1.3 percent of all U.S. adults, had been diagnosed at some point with IBD.
The finding that inflammatory bowel disease is more prevalent than health officials had realized "is important to understanding the burden this disease currently places on the U.S. health care system," researchers wrote. "Highlighting population subgroups with higher prevalence rates of inflammatory bowel disease can enable a better understanding of the disease and the populations most affected."
Another recent study found links between Crohn's disease and an increased risk for thyroid cancer.
What is inflammatory bowel disease?
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are both chronic inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. Ulcerative colitis affects only the colon; Crohn's may affect any part of the GI tract, from the mouth down.
Symptoms may include:
- Persistent diarrhea
- Rectal bleeding
- Frequent urge to move bowels
- Fever
- Loss of appetite followed by weight loss
- Fatigue
- Abdominal cramping
Health care providers often treat the symptoms of the diseases with medication, but most Crohn's sufferers will eventually require surgery, according to the CDC.
Talk to your health care provider if you have symptoms like these. Check our directory for a Providence provider near you.

The statistics about the prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease, "Prevalence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Among Adults Aged ≥18 Years — United States, 2015," were reported in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report this fall.
The study linking Crohn's disease and thyroid cancer was published in the journal Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, the journal of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America Inc.

Soundgraph Hummin' 3.03 & Finger VU 1016W ReviewPackaging & Contents »
I would like to thank Soundgraph for supplying the review sample.
Soundgraph may not be so well known to the end user, but the company looks back on years of experience in HTPC products. In fact, you will find Soundgraph technology in all major HTPCs from Silverstone, Thermaltake, Zalman, Antec - just to name a few. We have reviewed many of their products in the past and now have the pleasure to review their first HTPC chassis. The Hummin' 3.03 along with the FingerVU 1016W. While we have reviewed their touchscreen based monitors in the past, the new 1016W is unique as it is the first and only wireless touchscreen monitor on the market today.
You may opt for the Hummin' 3.03 chassis, which is shaped in such a way so that you may install the FingerVU 1016 directly on the case, or choose the display along with a docking station. This is great in case you already own a HTPC for example and just want the wireless functionality. We will be looking at the chassis and monitor, along with the docking station called "FingerVU 1016D". All of these are available in white or black - we received the former for this review.

The Stormreaver clan was a small but powerful clan which originated in the time prior to the Horde's arrival on Azeroth. The ruler of the Stormreavers was the warlock, Gul'dan, who maintained an iron-fisted rule over the clan. He was disliked in the Second War by Doomhammer due to his manipulations of the Horde, and especially of Blackhand. The Stormreavers, founded by Gul'dan to serve as his personal protection, had Doomhammer attacked. Gul'dan, along with the support of his clan, intended to find the lost Tomb of Sargeras; legend had it that this Tomb contained power beyond imagining.[1] (W2Man 69)
The clan was assigned to defend the Horde's positions at Stormwind and Balor, but betrayed Doomhammer and hastened to the Broken Isles to raise the Tomb of Sargeras from the ocean floor. Stormreaver's warriors were slaughtered by Doomhammer and the Blackrock clan when he exacted his revenge and their spell casters were torn apart by the Guardians of the Tomb. The few Stormreaver Warlocks and Necrolytes who survived wander the world, their only company the ghosts of their fallen comrades (see: Drak'thul).

Slave Coast of West Africa
The Slave Coast is a historical name formerly used for that part of coastal West Africa along the Bight of Benin that is located between the Volta River and the Lagos Lagoon.[1] The name is derived from the region's history as a major source of Africans that were taken into slavery during the Atlantic slave trade from the early 16th century to the late 19th century. Other nearby coastal regions historically known by their prime colonial export are the Gold Coast, the Ivory Coast (or Windward Coast), and the Pepper Coast (or Grain Coast).
European sources began documenting the development of trade in this region and its integration into the trans-Atlantic slave trade around 1670. The slave trade became so extensive in the 18th and 19th centuries that an "Atlantic community" was formed.[2] The slave trade was facilitated on the European end by the Portuguese, the Dutch, the French and the British. Slaves went to the New World, mostly to Brazil and the Caribbean. Ports that exported these slaves from Africa include Ouidah, Lagos, Aného (Little Popo), Grand-Popo, Agoué, Jakin, Porto-Novo, and Badagry. These ports traded in slaves that were supplied from African communities, tribes and kingdoms, including the Alladah and Ouidah, which were later taken over by the Dahomey kingdom.
Researchers estimate that between two and three million people were stolen out of this region and traded for goods like alcohol and tobacco from the Americas and textiles from Europe. Current estimates are that about 12 million Africans were shipped across the Atlantic from West Africa, although the number purchased by traders was considerably higher.[3][4][5]
The coast was called "the White man's grave" due to the mass amount of death from illnesses such as Yellow fever, malaria, heat exhaustion, and many gastro-entero sicknesses. In 1841, 80% of British sailors on expeditions up the Niger river were infected with fevers.[6] Between 1844 and 1854, 20 of the 74 French missionaries in Senegal died from local illnesses and 19 more died shortly after arriving back to France.[7][8]
Intermarriage has been documented in ports like Ouidah where Europeans were permanently stationed. Communication was quite extensive between all three areas of trade, to the point where even individual slaves could be tracked.[9]
This complex exchange fostered political and cultural as well as commercial connections between these three regions. Religions, architectural styles, languages, knowledge, and other new goods were mingled at this time. In addition to the slaves, free men used the exchange routes to travel to new places, and both slaves and free travellers aided in blending European and African cultures.
After slavery was abolished by European countries, the slave trade continued for a time with independent traders instead of government agents.
Cultural integration had become so extensive that the defining characteristics of each culture were increasingly broadened. In the case of Brazilian culture—which had differentiated itself from Portuguese culture through its combination of African, Portuguese and New World traditions—Brazilian-style dress, cuisine and speaking Portuguese had become the main requirements for Brazilian identity, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or geographic location.[10]

Last month, I started introducing you to my Creative Team members. So far, you've met my two Melissas. Today, you get the absolute pleasure of meeting Sara, aka mom2paigenjunior. Sara is an absolute sweetheart and creates such amazing layouts. I'm thankful for Sara and her willingness to always help out. Without further ado, let's meet Sara.
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was little I wanted to be NICU nurse but my father told me that would be an extremely hard job to get into because so many went into that field. Then I changed to wanting to be a Pediatric Cardiologist and headed in that path until my second year of college when I realized how much school I would need to complete in order to do that and that most likely I would have to put family on hold. I just graduated with a BS in Psychology and hope to one day to work with children who have parents that are military.
If you could travel anywhere, where would it be?
I have a lot of want to visit places and hopefully this one will be covered soon but I want to travel to Rome. The Vatican is top on my list of things I must visit. Living in the UK now it is not an impossible feat but we may not have much time left before we have to move again.
Which would you rather visit- Disneyland or Disney World?
I have bad memories of Disneyland as a child because we went twice on my birthday and I was a little brat and jealous that everyone got presents on my birthday because it was our last day there. I never wanted to celebrate away from home again. We are hoping to take our children to Disneyland Paris before the summer when it is not so busy.
What is your favorite place you have seen in Europe? Can you share a photo?
Favorite place? Hummm. I love Europe. I have been lucky to have visited more than one country and still hope to see more. Germany is always my favorite country here. I love the markets and the culture. Venice, Italy was amazing because of the way they travel and the architecture. Austria has a beautiful lake in the middle of the mountains that we stumbled upon on the way to Neuschwanstein Castle (Photo Above) . Ireland is a land of it's own with beautiful views. Finally our home for the last 2 1/2 years, England never disappoints. There is so much history here that each castle, town, or local you visit tells a different story.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
Not trying. I think that a lot more people would be able to complete different things if they just tried but we have this idea that we are often not good enough to complete things. I am a try and fail or try and succeed type of person. But I will always try a couple times before I give up.
What form of public transportation do you prefer (plane, train, taxi, boat, bus, etc.)?
Plane. I do not mind trains as you can rest and relax but recently we missed our stop on the train and ended up at another stop after 1 in the morning and no more trains were running until 3:45. We had to taxi back to the other train station to pick up our vehicle and get home. Interesting trip. I get motion sick so buses, cars, and boats are not often the best idea!
How long have you been scrapbooking?
I have been scrapping since I was around 12 or 13. I think probably an idea of it when I was younger but not with books and more like collages. I started Digital scrapbooking when my husband deployed and I was left with an infant to care for. I did not have time to get all the traditional scrapbooking items out so one day I saw something that caught my eye and I started to try it out. At that time the product quality and quantity was very minimal. Now I am amazed at how much this has expanded and the quality of each product.
How did you learn about digital scrapbooking?
Internet searches. I was a part of a military mom's group and in charge of changing out the decor in the forum and on the blog so was trying to find different ideas and stumbled upon this.
What kind of camera do you have?
I have a Nikon. I love it but I sent it with my husband on deployment so I just have a point and click and my phone for now. I am looking forward to getting a new DSLR and he can keep my older one.
Is it on automatic or manual mode?
I do not like Auto mode so 95% it is on manual. I am not a flash type of girl and so most of the time I am working to limit the use of the flash.
What kind of computer do you use?
PC. I am not sure I want to jump to MAC because that means I would need all new software. I am a saver not a spender so it is hard for me to justify that.
What program do you use to scrapbook?
What's your favorite time-saving or organizational tip for scrapbooking?
I wish I had one. The only thing that keeps me sane are the numerous folders that hold my to do kits, completed kits for each of the designers I love. I am not a big template user.
How do you get out of a scrapping slump?
Go out and take great photos that I know need to be represented in a layout. I think that it is important to let photos direct you to the kits so when I have to work on a kit, it is important that I have the correct photo for it so I may have to go out and explore which is great when there is so much to explore around here.
Why do you scrapbook?
For the memories. I like to create something that my children will love forever and want to share with our future relatives. We travel so much often things get confusing and with the children at the age they are (8 and 11) they will remember the traveling and some of the things they see but they will not remember the little things. Plus we meet so many different military families and it is nice to be able to reference back to our old friends and keep them fresh in our hearts and minds.
What is your greatest reward as a scrapbooker?
The greatest reward is the memories that are preserved through time. We may not be able to go to some of the places we have visited again but we will always have albums to look back on and talk about.
Here are a few of Sara's Favorite Layouts

Thanks, Sara, for letting us get to know you a bit better! I hope that you make it to Rome soon and get to see the Vatican. And I hope that when you do go, you'll take lots of photos and let me live vicariously through you!
