"The American election in 2016 was Putin's 'grandest campaign' of deceit, Snyder writes. He outlines the stages of Trump's ascent, beginning long before the presidential race: Russian money rescued him from financial collapse, thus enabling the reality television fantasy of Trump the successful businessman. That character became a spokesman of the birtherism fraud, propelling Trump's political career and presidential ambitions, which were in turn further supported by Russian propaganda. 'Fiction rested on fiction rested on fiction,' Snyder writes. 'From a Russian perspective, Trump was a failure who was rescued and an asset to be used to wreak havoc in American reality.'
Trump's victory and presidency have indeed served Putin's interests, precisely through the havoc they wreak. Though Washington still imposes sanctions against Russian individuals and organizations, long-standing Western alliances and trade relations are rapidly deteriorating under Trump, as are the reputation and global influence of American democracy. This helps Putin argue that the United States 'is not exceptional,' McFaul laments, 'that we have no moral authority to preach to other countries about their behavior.' The president also continues to minimize the Kremlin's role in the 2016 U.S. election and even lobbies for Russia's re-entry into the Group of Seven.
But none of this means that Putin is responsible for Trump's election, nor does it mean that Russia is masterminding some unwitting American transition to authoritarianism. 'Americans were not exposed to Russian propaganda randomly, but in accordance to their own susceptibilities,' Snyder emphasizes. 'People are led towards ever more intense outrage about what they already fear or hate."
The siloing of news consumption and the erosion of faith in common facts and truths, the demonization of opponents and the polarization of our politics, especially on the right - they were all underway long before Trump announced his candidacy. Snyder also highlights the weakening of key provisions of the Voting Rights Act, maintaining that 'when Russia acted against American democracy, the American system was already becoming less democratic.'
Whatever is happening here, we were ripe for it. The risk is not that Putin will turn us into a Russian facsimile; it's that we morph into something different all on our own." [Emphasis added.]

A 'Hateful Spirit Envelopes Trump, Consumes Him and Animates Him', Don't Vote Hate (© NoBullU.com)
UPDATE: "For three decades, Steve Schmidt has played at the highest levels of Republican politics, as a top strategist in presidential campaigns and as an adviser to other GOP candidates. He has also been one of the most vociferous critics of President Donald Trump. On Wednesday, he made that opposition even more emphatic, renouncing his party affiliation and urging Americans to vote for Democrats in the November elections.
'Trump's election did not spell doom for the Republican Party,' Schmidt said by telephone Wednesday while traveling. 'The reality is that our Founders always predicted that one day there would be a president like Trump, and that's why they designed the system of government the way they designed it. What they never imagined is the utter abdication of a co-equal branch of government, which we're seeing now. . . . The definition of conservatism now is the requirement of complete and utter obedience to the leader.' . .
He sees an abdication by the congressional wing of the Republican Party to remain independent of the president when necessary. 'There's a crisis of cowardice in the Republican Party that is profoundly un-American and, in my reading, unprecedented,' he said. 'No one is prepared to lay down their political career to do what's right to oppose the corruption, the assault on institutions, the nonstop lying, the assault on objective truth.' . .
[Schmidt believes the Republican Party] is populated by servile politicians unwilling to buck Trump's loyal following. He called the party 'utterly corrupted,' a force for 'incendiary politics and crackpottery and a real threat to small 'L' liberalism in the U.S.-led liberal global order.' . .
He decries the decision to welcome Trump into the 2012 Republican campaign despite his having pushed the false narrative that Obama was not born in the United States as a means to endear himself to a most extreme wing of the GOP. 'Trump was legitimized by birtherism, and he was abetted by a billion-dollar incitement industry,' he said."
Read the Washington Post, Longtime GOP strategist abandons his party, calls for the election of Democrats, which also notes that:
"Some analysts of American politics attach to Schmidt and McCain some blame for the rise of Trump. In their reading of the past decade, McCain's decision to tap Sarah Palin, then the governor of Alaska, as his vice-presidential running mate was the starting point for the rise of the kind of nationalistic, populistic politics Trump employed to win the election.
Schmidt was one of those who suggested McCain look to Palin as a possible choice, based on his and others' belief that McCain needed a dramatic selection to shake up the race and avoid certain defeat to Barack Obama. He wishes now that the choice had been different.
'My role in Palin is something that there's not a day that has gone by that I don't have regret about,' he said. 'She was manifestly unfit' - which he said became more and more obvious after she was selected - 'and she injected all manner of toxin into the political system. But she is not the cause of any of this.'"
Another MUST READ, The New York Times, 'I Want to Hate . . .', which states in full:
"In Trump's America people are understandably experiencing news fatigue. There are torrents of it on multiple streams. There is outrage after outrage. It is often overwhelming.
That's the plan, I suspect. Trump is operating on the Doctrine of Inundation. He floods the airwaves until you simply give up because you feel like you're drowning.
And unfortunately, it's working. A Pew Research Center report released Tuesday found that nearly seven in 10 Americans "feel worn out by the amount of news there is these days."
Fighting this fatigue is the real test of a person's resolve, including mine.
When my enthusiasm for resisting this vile man and his corrupt administration starts to flag, I remember the episode that first revealed to me the darkness at Trump's core, and I am renewed.
On an April night nearly 30 years ago, a young investment banker was beaten and raped when she went for a jog in Central Park. The attack left her in a coma. She happened to be white. Five teenagers arrested for the crime — four black and one of Hispanic descent — went to trial. As this newspaper reported at the time, they were "in what the police said was part of a marauding spree by as many as 30 youths in the northern end of the park" that night.
After being questioned for hours, the defendants gave false confessions that conflicted with one another, and those confessions were captured on video. As The New York Times pointed out in 2002: "The defendants in the jogger case were put on camera after they had been in custody, in some cases, for as long as 28 hours."
As one of the five wrote in 2016 in The Washington Post: "When we were arrested, the police deprived us of food, drink or sleep for more than 24 hours. Under duress, we falsely confessed."
A few days after the attack, long before the teenagers would go on trial, Donald Trump bought full-page ads in New York newspapers — you may think of this as a precursor to his present-day tweets to a mass audience — under a giant, all-caps headline that read: "Bring Back the Death Penalty. Bring Back Our Police!"
The boys would be convicted even though the physical evidence in the case was inconclusive. When one of the teenagers was led away in handcuffs, he yelled at the prosecutor: "You're going to pay for this. Jesus is going to get you. You made this … up."
After serving up to 13 years in prison, the boys were proven right: Another man confessed to the crime and his DNA matched that at the scene of the crime.
The boys, then men, had their convictions overturned, were freed, and eventually reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with the city over their wrongful convictions.
How did Trump respond after having called for them to be put to death? In true Trump fashion, he refused to apologize or show any contrition whatsoever.
In a 2014 opinion essay in The Daily News, Trump wrote that the settlement was a "disgrace" and that "settling doesn't mean innocence." He continued his assertion that the men were guilty, urging his readers: "Speak to the detectives on the case and try listening to the facts. These young men do not exactly have the pasts of angels."
Some people will never admit that they are wrong, even when they are as wrong as sin.
But it is the language in the body of Trump's 1989 death penalty ad that sticks with me. Trump wrote:
"Mayor Koch has stated that hate and rancor should be removed from our hearts. I do not think so. I want to hate these muggers and murderers. They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes."
He continued:
"Yes, Mayor Koch, I want to hate these murderers and I always will. I am not looking to psychoanalyze or understand them, I am looking to punish them."
That to me is the thing with this man: He wants to hate. When Trump feels what he believes is a righteous indignation, his default position is hatred. Anyone who draws his ire, anyone whom he feels attacked by or offended by, anyone who has the nerve to stand up for himself or herselfand tell him he's wrong, he wants to hate, and does so.
This hateful spirit envelopes him, consumes him and animates him.
He hates women who dare to stand up to him and push back against him, so he attacks them, not just on the issues but on the validity of their very womanhood.
He hates black people who dare to stand up — or kneel — for their dignity and against oppressive authority, so he attacks protesting professional athletes, Black Lives Matter and President Barack Obama himself as dangerous and divisive, unpatriotic and un-American.
He hates immigrants so he has set a tone of intolerance, boasted of building his wall (that Mexico will never pay for), swollen the ranks of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and attacks some as criminals and animals.
He hates Muslims, so he moves to institute his travel ban and attacks their religion with the incendiary comment that "I think Islam hates us."
He always disguises his hatred, often as a veneration and defense of his base, the flag, law enforcement or the military. He hijacks their valor to advance his personal hatred.
So I remember that. I center that. I hear "I want to hate" every time I hear him speak. And I draw strength from the fact that I'm not fighting for or against a political party; I'm fighting hatred itself, as personified by the man who occupies the presidency. That is my spine stiffener."

Denzel Washington recently appeared on Instagram Live with Brooklyn Pastor A.R. Bernard of Christian Cultural Center to talk about his relationship with God and his faith journey. Washington, who is devout Christian, shared that he had given his life to Christ three times when he was younger, Fox News reported. The Academy Award-winning actor described […]
Hollywood has not had a lot of success with historiclal Biblical epics since "The Passion of the Christ", but it certainly hasn't given up trying. The latest attempt looks like it might be a new take on the story of David and Goliath. It was announced in the trades today that Relativity Media and "Exorcism of Emily Rose" directorScott Derrickson plan to bring this giant story to the big screen.
So the good news is that Derrickson is an edgy director with an edgy Christian faith. I am waiting for him to bust out with a truly epic motion picture at some point in his career. Bad news – I am not convinced this project is it. Anything that is already being compared to a movie like "300" makes me a little nervous. I am also not sure what to think about the rumors that the story will start with Goliath chasing down David and other possible liberites with the Biblical account of David and his slingshot slaying of the warrior.
But all those concerns aside, let's have fun plying the casting game. Who do you think should play David ? Who do you think should play Goliath? Do you worry that Hollywood may not stay true to the Bible narrative or does it not matter?

I love moving to an asynchronous flipped course. However, it is clear to me that the next major paradigm shift must be toward Standards Based Grading.
The asynchronous nature of the course works well for so many reasons,which I have mentioned in the past. My major struggle is the model seems to encourage, or at least allow, students to submit late, and typically useless, assignments at the end of the quarter. Most of these assignments are irrelevant at quarter's end because students already completed their summative assessments. Students submit these late assignments solely to increase their average. While the flipped model decreases the opportunity for the typical "students playing school," clearly some of that is still happening in my course! I could ban submission of assignments after the subsequent steps but that would treat the symptom, rather than the cause.
The culprit seems to be grades, or at least the traditional assessment based grading system. I incorporate assignment completion percentage into the quarter averages to encourage students to do their work. But this seems wrong to me. If we have to assign a grade, shouldn't it be based exclusively on what students have learned, rather than behavior, participation and assignment completion and timeliness rates? Don't get me wrong, I understand why these aspects are included in grades; teachers want to encourage certain behaviors while discouraging others. The easiest method is including specific behaviors in the grading system. Unfortunately, the result is inflated grades for compliant students and deflated grades for noncompliant students. Rather than grades reflecting learning, grades merely correlate or relate to learning in the traditional system. This is an odd paradigm when you really think about it!
Standards based grading can be the solution. Students are graded exclusively on how well they demonstrate mastery of learning objectives or standards. Students can choose which learning activities (readings, videos, labs) to complete. They can redo assignments to learn or practice objectives before opting for a graded objective check or mastery quiz. If students want or need to retake the summative assessment, they can revisit some or all of the learning activities - but I won't include the completion percentage rate into the grade. I haven't figured out the logistics but I am sure that my current grading system needs a makeover.

Govts creating 'confusion' over Panchayat polls: Cong
Srinagar, Sep 12: The J&K Congress on Wednesday accused the Centre and the State governments of creating "uncertainty" over the Panchayat and local bodies polls, saying it will decide on participation once the "confusion" is cleared.
The elections in the state is scheduled to be held from next month.
The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) would send a team to New Delhi to brief the party leadership on the issue, Congress state unit president G A Mir said at a press conference here.
He said the team of senior state leaders will also hold deliberations on whether to participate in the polls.
"There is a lot of confusion over the issue of conduct of these elections. Both the centre and the state government have created the confusion. There is no clarity on part of both of them.
"The stand of the state government on the issue seems to be fluctuating with every passing hour," he said.
Mir said the party had raised certain questions on the issue when it met Governor Satya Pal Malik and it seemed the government was only "testing waters" and not serious on the issue.
"We have called on the Governor twice in the last 10 days. Yesterday, also we met him. We had raised certain question on the preparations for these polls, but the concerns have not been addressed. The polls were announced without taking anyone onboard. It seems that the government is only testing the waters," he said.
The JKPCC president said the party is watching the situation and wants the Centre and the State governments to clear their stand on whether to conduct these polls or not.
"They have themselves created an uncertainty here. We want them to clear the confusion and come out with their stand on whether to conduct the polls or not.
"The state administration should put up a credible person before the people and ensure them that it is ready for the polls. Once the confusion is cleared, the Congress party will take a decision on whether to participate," he said.
On whether the situation was conducive or not for conducting the polls, Mir said, "Even a blind person will tell you that the situation is not fit for elections in Jammu and Kashmir right now."
To a question of the announcement of boycott of the polls by the National Conference and the Peoples Democratic Party over the issue of legal challenge to the Constitution's Article 35-A, he said every party in entitled to its opinion, but "linking the panchayat and local bodies polls with the hearing on the article in the Supreme Court by the government is wrong."
This creates apprehensions in the minds of people, Mir said.

Sheriff's department needs deputies
Sheriff's department needs deputies
By Michael Johnson
BHG News Service
The turnover of McLean County Sheriff's deputies continues as the county is currently seeking at least two more deputies for coverage in the county.
County officials have been advertising for one or more deputies. Sheriff Don Charging said he recently let one deputy from the Garrison area go, so instead of one, two are being sought.
There are 14 to 15 applicants for the deputy positions and at least half are certified.
While those positions need filling, county commissioner Barry Suydam brought up the need for more rural patrol. He said that with increased traffic all over the county, more eyes are needed in the rarely monitored rural areas. He suggested oil impact money to pay for it.
"We've got to nip some of it," Suydam said.
Charging agreed that the county is a busier place.
Suydam added that he's hear

With Phase One completed and now all available on blu ray, Marvel is now focusing their efforts on Phase Two. The mid-credits scene in Avengers obviously gave a hint of the things to come and the slate that was announced during Comic Con elaborates further on the direction the studio is taking.
Iron Man 3
Release Date: May 3, 2013
Director: Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, writer of Lethal Weapon)
The third Iron Man venture will be based on the "Extremis" storyarc by Warren Ellis and Adi Granov. The story concerns Tony's internal conflict of whether or not he has tried to better himself over the years and the discovery of a project that once again attempts to duplicate and improve upon Super Soldier Serum. Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau, and Paul Bettany will all repraise their previous roles from the second film. Ben Kingsley joins the cast as main villain the Mandarin and Guy Pearce will appear as Aldrich Killian, creator of the Extremis virus.
Thor: The Dark World
Release Date: November 8, 2013
Director: Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones, The Emperor's Clothes)
An ancient and shadowy race has resurfaced so that they could plunge the universe into eternal darkness. With even Odin and the other Asgardians unable to stop this threat, Thor embarks on a dangerous journey that will lead him back to Earth and Jane Foster, but may force him to make the ultimate sacrifice to save the Nine Realms. Virtually everyone from the first film is back to repraise their previous roles. The only difference being Zachary Levi replacing Joshua Dallas as Warriors Three member Fandral. Ironically, Levi was supposed play Fandral in the first film, but had to drop out due to his commitments to Chuck. Now he's reclaimed the role due to Dallas' commitments to Once Upon a Time. Christopher Eccleston joins the cast as new villain Malekith the Accursed.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Release Date: April 4, 2014
Directors: Anthony and Joe Russo (Community, Arrested Development)
Steve Rogers is still trying to adjust to the world around him after seventy years in cryogenic stasis when a Cold War assassin begins to appear on the scene. What Captain America will suddenly discover is that this Winter Soldier is a familiar face from his past. Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan will repraise their previous roles of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes respectively. Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson will be bringing their characters Nick Fury and Black Widow into the story. Anthony Mackie is in the running to play Falcon and Mary Elizabeth Winstead looks to be the favorite to play the female lead, who may or may not be Sharon Carter, descendant of Steve's old love Peggy.
Guardians of the Galaxy
Release Date: August 1, 2014
Director: James Gunn (Slither, Super)
The Guardians of the Galaxy are a rag-tag team of super-humans and extraterrestrial adventurers dedicated to safeguarding the Milky Way galaxy. Based on concept art shown, the team will be made up of Drax the Destroyer, Groot, Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, and Gamora.
The Avengers 2
Release Date: May 1, 2015
Director: Joss Whedon
Storyline has yet to be announced, but indications are they it will likely involve the coming of Thanos. Perhaps it might be about the Infinity Gauntlet?
One other film on the Marvel pipeline that may or may not make it onto the Phase Two slate is Ant-Man, which Marvel confirmed was still in the process of being made by Edgar Wright.
Phase Two of Marvel Studios and the Avengers

text: Alkylation: The covalent bonding of an alkyl group to an organic compound. It can occur by a simple addition reaction or by substitution of another functional group.Alkylating Agents: Highly reactive chemicals that introduce alkyl radicals into biologically active molecules and thereby prevent their proper functioning. Many are used as antineoplastic agents, but most are very toxic, with carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and immunosuppressant actions. They have also been used as components in poison gases.Palladium: A chemical element having an atomic weight of 106.4, atomic number of 46, and the symbol Pd. It is a white, ductile metal resembling platinum, and following it in abundance and importance of applications. It is used in dentistry in the form of gold, silver, and copper alloys.Methyl Methanesulfonate: An alkylating agent in cancer therapy that may also act as a mutagen by interfering with and causing damage to DNA.Nitrogen Mustard Compounds: A group of alkylating agents derived from mustard gas, with the sulfur replaced by nitrogen. They were formerly used as toxicants and vesicants, but now function as antineoplastic agents. These compounds are also powerful mutagens, teratogens, immunosuppressants, and carcinogens.Stereoisomerism: The phenomenon whereby compounds whose molecules have the same number and kind of atoms and the same atomic arrangement, but differ in their spatial relationships. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed)Allyl CompoundsGuanineIodoacetamide: An alkylating sulfhydryl reagent. Its actions are similar to those of iodoacetate.Ethylmaleimide: A sulfhydryl reagent that is widely used in experimental biochemical studies.Iodoacetates: Iodinated derivatives of acetic acid. Iodoacetates are commonly used as alkylating sulfhydryl reagents and enzyme inhibitors in biochemical research.Ethylnitrosourea: A nitrosourea compound with alkylating, carcinogenic, and mutagenic properties.Molecular Structure: The location of the atoms, groups or ions relative to one another in a molecule, as well as the number, type and location of covalent bonds.Methylnitronitrosoguanidine: A nitrosoguanidine derivative with potent mutagenic and carcinogenic properties.O(6)-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase: An enzyme that transfers methyl groups from O(6)-methylguanine, and other methylated moieties of DNA, to a cysteine residue in itself, thus repairing alkylated DNA in a single-step reaction. EC 188.8.131.52.Cysteine: A thiol-containing non-essential amino acid that is oxidized to form CYSTINE.DNA: A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).Uracil Mustard: Nitrogen mustard derivative of URACIL. It is a alkylating antineoplastic agent that is used in lymphatic malignancies, and causes mainly gastrointestinal and bone marrow damage.Quinacrine Mustard: Nitrogen mustard analog of quinacrine used primarily as a stain in the studies of chromosomes and chromatin. Fluoresces by reaction with nucleic acids in chromosomes.Sulfhydryl Compounds: Compounds containing the -SH radical.Distamycins: Oligopeptide antibiotics from Streptomyces distallicus. Their binding to DNA inhibits synthesis of nucleic acids.Leucomycins: An antibiotic complex produced by Streptomyces kitasatoensis. The complex consists of a mixture of at least eight biologically active components, A1 and A3 to A9. Leucomycins have both antibacterial and antimycoplasmal activities.DNA Repair: The reconstruction of a continuous two-stranded DNA molecule without mismatch from a molecule which contained damaged regions. The major repair mechanisms are excision repair, in which defective regions in one strand are excised and resynthesized using the complementary base pairing information in the intact strand; photoreactivation repair, in which the lethal and mutagenic effects of ultraviolet light are eliminated; and post-replication repair, in which the primary lesions are not repaired, but the gaps in one daughter duplex are filled in by incorporation of portions of the other (undamaged) daughter duplex. Excision repair and post-replication repair are sometimes referred to as "dark repair" because they do not require light.Nylons: Polymers where the main polymer chain comprises recurring amide groups. These compounds are generally formed from combinations of diamines, diacids, and amino acids and yield fibers, sheeting, or extruded forms used in textiles, gels, filters, sutures, contact lenses, and other biomaterials.Mechlorethamine: A biologic alkylating agent that exerts its cytotoxic effects by forming DNA ADDUCTS and DNA interstrand crosslinks, thereby inhibiting rapidly proliferating cells. The hydrochloride is an antineoplastic agent used to treat HODGKIN DISEASE and LYMPHOMA.Catalysis: The facilitation of a chemical reaction by material (catalyst) that is not consumed by the reaction.Methylnitrosourea: A nitrosourea compound with alkylating, carcinogenic, and mutagenic properties.Monomethylhydrazine: Hydrazine substituted by one methyl group.Epoxy Compounds: Organic compounds that include a cyclic ether with three ring atoms in their structure. They are commonly used as precursors for POLYMERS such as EPOXY RESINS.Cyclization: Changing an open-chain hydrocarbon to a closed ring. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed)KetonesHydrocarbons, IodinatedAziridines: Saturated azacyclopropane compounds. They include compounds with substitutions on CARBON or NITROGEN atoms.DNA Glycosylases: A family of DNA repair enzymes that recognize damaged nucleotide bases and remove them by hydrolyzing the N-glycosidic bond that attaches them to the sugar backbone of the DNA molecule. The process called BASE EXCISION REPAIR can be completed by a DNA-(APURINIC OR APYRIMIDINIC SITE) LYASE which excises the remaining RIBOSE sugar from the DNA.DNA Adducts: The products of chemical reactions that result in the addition of extraneous chemical groups to DNA.DNA Damage: Injuries to DNA that introduce deviations from its normal, intact structure and which may, if left unrepaired, result in a MUTATION or a block of DNA REPLICATION. These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS.Acronine: A pyrano-acridone alkaloid found in RUTACEAE plants.Nitrosourea CompoundsIodoacetic Acid: A derivative of ACETIC ACID that contains one IODINE atom attached to its methyl group.Phosphines: Inorganic or organic compounds derived from phosphine (PH3) by the replacement of H atoms. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)Binding Sites: The parts of a macromolecule that directly participate in its specific combination with another molecule.Kinetics: The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.Structure-Activity Relationship: The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.Oxidation-Reduction: A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471).N-Glycosyl Hydrolases: A class of enzymes involved in the hydrolysis of the N-glycosidic bond of nitrogen-linked sugars.Antineoplastic Agents, Alkylating: A class of drugs that differs from other alkylating agents used clinically in that they are monofunctional and thus unable to cross-link cellular macromolecules. Among their common properties are a requirement for metabolic activation to intermediates with antitumor efficacy and the presence in their chemical structures of N-methyl groups, that after metabolism, can covalently modify cellular DNA. The precise mechanisms by which each of these drugs acts to kill tumor cells are not completely understood. (From AMA, Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p2026)Mesylates: Organic salts or esters of methanesulfonic acid.Carbonates: Salts or ions of the theoretical carbonic acid, containing the radical CO2(3-). Carbonates are readily decomposed by acids. The carbonates of the alkali metals are water-soluble; all others are insoluble. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)Sulfuric Acid Esters: Organic esters of sulfuric acid.Dimethylnitrosamine: A nitrosamine derivative with alkylating, carcinogenic, and mutagenic properties. It causes serious liver damage and is a hepatocarcinogen in rodents.Nitrosamines: A class of compounds that contain a -NH2 and a -NO radical. Many members of this group have carcinogenic and mutagenic properties.Alkenes: Unsaturated hydrocarbons of the type Cn-H2n, indicated by the suffix -ene. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed, p408)Ethyl Methanesulfonate: An antineoplastic agent with alkylating properties. It also acts as a mutagen by damaging DNA and is used experimentally for that effect.

Some advice I picked up somewhere along the way. While working on a project, be it big or small, personal or professional or somewhere in the between, do not show it to people until it is done. One way around this is to just break the project up in to small parts and call them done whenever you want feedback. That's cheating though.
This is actually good advice. I have come up against it. Proud of the first ten-thousand words of my awesome amazing new story I foolishly, fervently showed it to any friends and family members who would listen, or read, rather. After going around with a smile on my face and a stack of paper in my hand I came back to my beloved Smith-Corona and produced precisely dick.
When working on something, I tend to get drawn in. The longer the work, the more lonely it can become. Although I can explore the rich worlds I create and populate, I sometimes get sick of my own company and yearn for another living, breathing being.
I never realized just how lonely writing can be until I strapped in and attempted the long haul. An experience so traumatic I have yet to endure it again. We need outside input. I think of my mind as an engine, a complex machine that takes a form of fuel and transforms it into something necessary. There are some who would say that the art of the written word is unnecessary; but I assert that it is, in fact, the most necessarily human thing there is.
The thing that separates us from the other apes is our ability to communicate. Other animals can reason, implement tools and even go to war. The human ability to share information and to then record and store that information is our only advantage over our primate primos. Okay, not the only advantage, but come on man, think where we would be without language. We'd be those cave-man guys from your childhood memories of museum exhibits.
Language, expression, shared knowledge and the ability to build upon that knowledge as opposed to resetting it with every generation has taken us to the space age, and soon beyond. Therefore my mind-engine, and yours too, is a vital and necessary cog in the vast machine of humanity.
The fact that we are so dependent on our interconnectivity is the very reason that we so often seek that interaction. It is instinctual. It is the reason we are who and what we are today.
When writing you may feel compelled to share your unfinished work with a friend, someone close, someone who you think you can trust to tell it like it is. Don't. I appreciate the need to share with somebody, either because you need feedback or because you are simply lonely in your vast new world. Share your work with an online community. Internet strangers who will give you honest advice and not worry about hurting your feelings.
Your wife just watched you toil over that piece for the last six weeks. Up all night, unable to focus, angry at the real world because you were trying to get your fantasy world to come together just right. She saw you pour your heart and soul onto those sheets of paper. Do you really think she wants to tell you it sucks, if it sucks? And even if she is able to offer real constructive criticism, which is highly unlikely, do you think you'll accept it, or use your familiarity and comfort level to steam-roll her feedback and justify why your way is the right way?
Seriously, don't put your loved ones through that. They want you to be happy just as much as you want to be a good writer. They think that telling you it's good, even when it isn't, is the right thing to do.
Internet strangers are an invaluable resource. There are so so many groups you can join online and get instant access to feedback, tips and lively discussion. You can also look in to local groups at your public library or community centre. Life can get hectic at times, but if you have the luxury of free time, adding a little bit of structure can go a long way when it comes to being a productive writer.
Good luck guys. Peace and long life,

Early Marriage actually happens in some countries. It is even legal for them to do it. And parents are the ones who force their children to be married at a young age. There are many different reasons why early marriage occurs. In some countries, parents want their children to be married at a young age because their daughter was pregnant. But, is early marriage the best solution to the problem about early pregnancy? That is not a solution to the problem because it will become severe actually.
Whether a person is in the age 14 or 17, that is actually considered a young age. He or she is still a teenager. In some countries, a 21-year old person is still young too. So, if a teenager is involved in early marriage whether he or she likes it or not, what will be his future as early as you can ensure? Young girls who are being given in marriage at a young age come to visit this good beauty company 台中 醫美. If they also become pregnant at a young age their clothes are made from here.
Did you know that in some nations, a 12 year old girl can be given in marriage already? That is their tradition and practice for years. It only mean that a young girl given in marriage will not be able to enjoy her youth. The common reasons why parents force their children to go on early marriage is because of tradition, wealth, and honor. In countries like Yemen, child marriage is still legal. They also have beauty service over this company肉毒瘦小臉 in legal. Then, how many young girls were already given in early marriage?

Koinonia Institute's 2013 Israel Program
Koinonia Institute
We know that a trip to Israel changes lives and we truly believe we now have something for everybody, so pray about joining us on one of these tours in 2013.
It has been a privilege at Koinonia Institute to see lives radically changed by visiting The Land. Our desire is to always look with fresh eyes at our program, always striving to make the tours not only better, but unique. We are excited about the program we are offering for Israel 2013.
Talmidim Expedition: Feb. 2–18, 2013 (In Israel dates)
Wilderness Experience: Feb. 18–26, 2013 (In Israel dates)
These are two new tours intended for those who want an extended stay in Israel along with a true feeling for living in The Land. Participants can choose to do one or the other, or both. Incorporated in this adventure will be a School of Discipleship, where we delve into the Word of God, as well as hands-on work projects in both the Galilee and Jerusalem. Visiting the sites at a more-relaxed pace will definitely enhance one's experience in Israel.
Our Talmidim Expedition takes place in the Galilee and Jerusalem. While in the Galilee, those choosing to do so will hike the Jesus Trail. These travelers will experience a 3 1/2 day hike that begins at Nazareth and ends in Capernaum—about 45 miles in all. We will have overnight accommodations at Beit Bracha during our entire time in the Galilee, including during the hike. Those opting out will be able to relax at Beit Bracha, a Prayer Retreat Center overlooking the Sea of Galilee, or perhaps explore the city of Tiberias. We will be in the Galilee for a total of 10 days and will spend time at Tabgha, Capernaum, Mt. Beatitudes, Gamla, Caesarea Philippi, Tel Dan, Mt. Bental and the Golan Heights. In addition to touring, we will also be rolling up our sleeves and doing a G12 (Genesis 12) Work Project…blessing those in Israel.
From the Galilee we will make our way up to Jerusalem for seven days. Besides walking the sites, we want to experience living in Jerusalem. We will shop in the open-air markets, have amazing coffee in local establishments and simply immerse ourselves in David's Capitol! Other sites we will tour include: City of David, Rabbinical Tunnels, Herodian, Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Old City, and the Garden Tomb. We also will undertake another G12 Work Project.
These two locations make up the Talmidim portion of our expedition. Much attention will be given to the Scriptures as we work, worship and study our way through the Land.
The second part of this expedition is our Wilderness Experience. We will be spending six days hiking through the Judean Desert, the Wildernesses of Zin and Paran, and the Negev, eventually making our way down to Eilat. The camping portion of this tour is by no means "roughing it," as we will have our camp set up for us nightly and all meals provided! We will spend two nights camping, one night at a hotel, another two nights camping, and then two nights at a luxury hotel in Eilat, located on the shores of the Red Sea. This portion again will be given to prayer and study as we experience the spirituality of the desert.
Those participating in the Wilderness portion must be able to hike/walk up to 10 miles per day. This tour will be limited in number so if you are interested, please contact Sharon Stolebarger (email@example.com) right away.
Jesus Trail: April 29–May 5 (In Israel Dates)
In 2012, a group of rag-tag JT'ers (as we became known) headed out on our first Jesus Trail Tour. To say that it was a resounding success does not even come close to what was experienced on this amazing adventure. The 2013 Jesus Trail will be six nights and backs up to our Berean Tour (see below). We will hike from Nazareth to Capernaum in four days. Participants must be able to hike 12–15 miles per day with a backpack. Overnights are spent in accommodations—not on the trail! We will start the tour in Tel Aviv, on the Mediterranean Sea. Our hike will incorporate time in Nazareth, Zippori, ascending the Horns Of Hattim, majestic views from below Mt. Arbel, a waterfall at Tabgha, and ending at the gates of Capernaum. Participants will get a first-hand experience of the walk Jesus would have taken and will gain a profound sense of belonging in The Land.
Berean Tour: May 5–13 (In Israel Dates)
The Berean Tour is our traditional tour to Israel. It is on the Berean Tour where people often get "the bug"—a passion for Israel. We spend one night in Tel Aviv, three nights in the Galilee, one night at the Dead Sea, and three nights in Jerusalem. The sites are too numerous to mention…a plentiful buffet of where Jesus walked, talked, taught, prayed, died, and returned.
Israel 2 – Returning To The Land: May 13–22 (In Israel Dates)
We are excited about this brand-new tour, as it is geared towards all of you who have been to the Land at least one time before … or for someone who is looking for an experience not offered elsewhere. We will explore the present borders of the State of Israel, from Lebanon and Syria in the north to Egypt and Saudi Arabia in the south, Jordan in the east to Gaza and the Mediterranean in the west, with special prayer times on each border for the peace and security of Israel. We also will visit the Biblical borders of Israel, from Dan to Beer Sheva—again, praying on all the borders. (Note: We will not be crossing over any borders.)
One cannot experience all there is to see in Israel on just one tour so we are excited to offer a return visit and adding some incredible sites that are impossible to squeeze into a first-timer's Pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Our sites include: Tel Dan, Mt. Carmel, Zippori, Corazim, Bethsaida, Gamla, Mt. Hermon, Mt. Arbel, Gideon Springs, Rabbinical Tunnels, Burnt House, Herodian, Beit Guvrin, Uvrin, Maresha, Valley of Elah, Eilat, Beersheva, Negev Desert, Ramon Crater, Avdat, Ein Avdat, Wilderness of Zin, Ben Gurion Grave Site and Sderot. We also are planning some optional excursions such as rafting on the Jordan River and a lunchtime barbecue cruise with snorkeling on the Red Sea.
Issachar Tour: October 28–November 6, 2013 (In Israel Dates)
The Israel of the Bible – The Israel of Today. That is what you will experience on our Issachar Tour. This not only allows our travelers to visit all of the major Biblical sites, but also to gain a unique strategic perspective as to what is really going on in Israel—not what you see on the six o'clock news!
We are excited about these new additions to our Israel program. If you are interested in receiving details and are not currently on the Israel Tour Update list, please email firstname.lastname@example.com to be added to this list.
We know that a trip to Israel changes lives and we truly believe we now have something for everybody, so pray about joining us on one of these tours in 2013.

The Bank Holiday break is great for one very good reason: a three day weekend feels so much longer than a two day weekend. It's much more of a "proper" length of time off before going back to work. I've always found standard weekends too short. Friday night's usually a write-off because of tiredness, and then a lie-in on Saturday leaves you with a far shorter day. Before you know it, the weekend's half over and you haven't even done anything yet. And then, knowing that you're on the downhill stretch, time seems to pass much more quickly, and a few seconds later you're back in the office again, trying to fathom just where the weekend went.
What I'm saying is that I think it's about time to introduce an eight day week. Five days on, three days off. It'd be much better. Everyone would be much happier. Who's with me?

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Sunday that the Trump administration is ready for unconditional discussions with Iran in an effort to ease rising tensions that have sparked fears of conflict. But the United States will not relent in trying to pressure the Islamic Republic to change its behavior in the Middle East, America's top diplomat said.Story here.
Pompeo repeated long-standing U.S. accusations that Iran is bent on destabilizing the region, but he also held out the possibility of talks as President Donald Trump has suggested. While the offer may not pan out, Pompeo made it during a visit to Switzerland, the country that long has represented American interests in Iran, as part of a European trip aimed at assuring wary leaders that the U.S. is not eager for war.
"We're prepared to engage in a conversation with no preconditions," Pompeo told reporters at a news conference with his Swiss counterpart. "We're ready to sit down with them, but the American effort to fundamentally reverse the malign activity of this Islamic Republic, this revolutionary force, is going to continue."
I've listed a cabal that I believe form the deep state within the US govt. Those forces include Democrats, Neo-Cons, so called Republican Party leadership, the media and certain bureaucrats.
The most dangerous of this group?
In my opinion the Neo-Cons.
Because they lust for power (well they all do) but the Neo-Cons have flexed/morphed themselves to appear as if they support the current administration's policies while pushing the same old song and dance that has our military stretched to the breaking point.
Fortunately the most prominent of them appear to be getting crushed in the latest internal battles inside the Trump admin.
John Bolton has been banging the war drums with Iran for the past month or more. Unfortunately it appears that JCS Chairman General Dunford is also pounding those same drums.
But despite limited troop movements (I had heard reports that up to 10k could be heading to the Gulf) numbering a few planes, ships and soldiers we've seen serious attempts by the President AND SecState to lower the rhetoric and the tensions.
Even better?
We've gotten the same signals from Iran.
Was the raising of tensions justifiable? I don't know. We don't have visibility on the intel that they're claiming.
What I do know is this.
We don't need to start another fight in a region being wrecked by war already. Oh and make no mistake about it. The fighting we're seeing there currently IS A REGIONAL WAR!
I don't need this admin to be peacekeepers. I just need them to not blunder into another fight.

Winds Four Quarters
Maiden, Warrior, Mother and Crone
Wind's four quarters, air and fire
Earth and water, hear my desire,
Grant my plea who stands alone,
Maiden, Warrior, Mother and Crone
Eastern Wind, blow clear blow clean
Cleanse my body of its pain
Cleanse my mind of what I've seen
Cleanse my honor of its stain
Maid whose love has never ceased
Bring me healing from the east
Southern wind, blow hot blow hard
Fan my courage to a flame
Southern wind be guide and guard
Add your bravery to my name
Let my will and yours be twinned
Warrior of the southern wind
Wind's four quarters, air and fire
Earth and water, hear my desire,
Grant my plea who stands alone,
Maiden, Warrior, Mother and Crone
Western wind blow stark, blow strong
Grant me arm and mind of steel
On a road both hard and long
Mother, hear me where I kneel
Let no weakness on my quest
Hinder me, wind of the west
Northern wind, blow cruel blow cold
Sheathe my aching heart in ice
Armor round my soul enfold
Crone, I need not call you twice
To my foes bring the cold of death
Chill me north wind's frozen breath!
Wind's four quarters, air and fire
Earth and water, hear my desire,
Grant my plea who stands alone,
Maiden, Warrior, Mother and Crone
Maiden, Warrior…Mother and Crone
La Loba
There is an old woman who lives in a hidden place that everyone knows in their souls but few have ever seen. As in the fairy tales of Eastern Europe, she seems to wait for lost or wandering people and seekers to come to her place.
She is circumspect, often hairy, always fat, and especially wishes to evade most company. She is both a crower and a cackler, generally having more animal sounds than human ones.
I might say she lives among the rotten granite slopes in Tarahumara Indian territory. Or that she is buried outside Phoenix near a well. Perhaps she will be seen traveling south to Monte Alban in a burnt out car with the back window shot out. Or maybe she will be spotted standing by the highway near El Paso, or riding shotgun with truckers to Morelia, Mexico, or walking to market above Oaxaca with strangely formed boughs of firewood on her back. She calls herself by many names: La Huesera, Bone Woman; La Trapera, The Gatherer; and La Loba, Wolf Woman.
The sole work of La Loba is the collecting of bones. She collects and preserves especially that which is in danger of being lost to the world. Her cave is filled with the bones of all manner of desert creatures: the deer, the rattlesnake, the crow. But her specialty is wolves.
She creeps and crawls and sifts through the mountains, and arroyos, looking for wolf bones, and when she has assembled an entire skeleton, when the last bone is in place and the beautiful white sculpture of the creature is laid out before her, she sits by the fire and thinks about what song she will sing.
And when she is sure, she stands over the criatura, raises her arms over it, and sings out. That is when the rib bones and leg bones of the wolf begin to flesh out and the creature becomes furred. La Loba sings some more, and more of the creature comes into being; its tail curls upward, shaggy and strong.
And La Loba sings more and the wolf creature begins to breathe.
And still La Loba sings so deeply that the floor of the desert shakes, and as she sings, the wolf opens its eyes, leaps up, and runs away down the canyon.
Somewhere in its running, whether by the speed of its running, or by splashing its way into a river, or by way of a ray of sunlight or moonlight hitting it right in the side, the wolf is suddenly transformed into a laughing woman who runs free toward the horizon.
So remember if you wander the desert, and it is near sundown, and you are perhaps a little bit lost, and certainly tired, that you are lucky, for La Loba may take a liking to you and show you something – something of the soul.

Brenda Vrba
With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Brenda Louise Vrba in her 69th year on May 18, 2019 while surrounded by family at Strathcona Long Term Care. Brenda was born on November 18, 1950 to John and Melva (Koehler) Atto in Kitchener. Brenda graduated from nursing school at Norfolk Hospital in Simcoe and worked proudly as a nurse at Henderson, Dunnville Memorial, Credit Valley and Oakville Trafalgar hospitals, before reeducating as a Social Worker at Niagara College. Brenda met her husband Peter Vrba in Honey Harbour when she was only 17 years old and married soon after at 19. This October they would have celebrated 49 years of love together. In their retirement, Peter and Brenda moved to Hanover, Ontario, where Brenda was active in the Hanover Lions Club and also at Grace United Church as a grief counselor. She was a talented painter and enjoyed life on the lake with her two dogs, Oliver and Lucy. Brenda is survived by her husband Peter Vrba, children Melanie (Brian McEwen), Bryan (Julie Poitevin) and Adam (Cassandra), grandchildren Zoë, Mila, Keele and Matilda, as well as many nieces and nephews. Brenda is also survived by her siblings Nancy and Tom Leathong, Jill and Mark Deakin, and Randy and Caroline Atto. Brenda was predeceased by her parents John and Melva Atto and her older brother John Atto. Brenda will be remembered for her love for family and her dedication to helping others. A celebration of her life will be held on Thursday, May 23rd at Grace United Church at 310-12th Street in Hanover, Ontario at 11 AM, followed by a luncheon. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Lions Camp Dorset at https://www.lionscampdorset.ca/visitors/donations/.

Green tea from Japan that is rendered brown by roasting Bancha tea leaves over charcoals. The popularity of our "Hojicha Fugue" stems from its nutty and very accessible mesquite taste. The roasting process lowers its caffeine content. Made from toasted green tea leaves, it produces an amber or light brown liquid. Hojicha has the most body for a green tea, with a taste reminiscent of almost burnt toast.
- Type - Green tea

Too many nonprofits are too focused on themselves.
"Look at us!" "Here's what we did." "Aren't we great?!?" "Now give us some money to do more great stuff!"
When you boil it all down to the simplest concept… it's all about humility and empowerment. Remember this:
1- People don't like braggers.
2- People want to give to your organization because you make them feel good about helping.
So go ahead… give them the power to feel good. Allow the donor to be the hero in the story. Say things like, "Thanks to you…" and "Your donations did _________.
Be humble.

The song that most accurately portrays what it must be like to be a highly sensitive soul, trying to survive in a brutal, uncaring world, for me, is Don McLean's brilliant "Vincent". I commend the lyrics and music to you, if you are unfamiliar with the tune. The artist described in this song, Vincent Van Gogh, and all people like him, are the people that break my heart and make me sad. Gentle souls and sensitive artists are all too often crushed underfoot, by the insensitive, the grasping, the selfish, the ruthless, the insensate, the sadistically mean and by people that lack any semblance of empathy or compassion. To endure a life of pain, giving the gifts of your artistic talents, generously and freely, while receiving nothing but derision, ridicule, ignorance and aggressive condemnation, in return, must be worse than a descent into Hell.
In the 1970s, I remember there was a popular band, who received accolades and adulation, seemingly everywhere they went. The lead singer was a charismatic, larger than life character, who bestrode the stage like a colossus, yet inside, it turns out, he was a very sensitive soul who wanted nothing more than to sing and make people happy. When the band broke up, he suddenly found himself met with resentment, rejection and indifference. Confusingly, to him, he was singing just as well as he always had, tried just as hard to please audiences and worked as hard as anybody to re-establish himself and his new bands, yet he was roundly discarded and dismissed by previously loyal audiences. He had had his time in the sun and was put out to pasture. "Next!"
Being disorientated by the sudden change of fortune, drained of all energy, from years of gruelling touring and feeling lost and powerless to reverse the situation, no matter how hard he tried, he descended, sadly, into insanity. Forgetting to eat or sleep, he would disappear for days at a time, wandering aimlessly. Nobody knew where he was. Few cared. He was bound to die an early death. The cause of this obvious decline and degeneration was undoubtedly the hostility and indifference of the people he wanted to please most. Eventually, friends and family abandoned him and he found himself utterly alone, in a psychiatric asylum. The psychiatrist noted his delusional and confused state, writing that the patient absurdly claimed to have had thirteen gold records. To the psychiatrist, this was a pure fantasy. In fact, it was true.
Fortunately, the story has a partially happy ending, in that this singer found his way back into the world, gradually, with setbacks along the way and never quite his old self. They called it "rehabilitation", but he has a clearer, more honest view of what it's like to suffer a fall from fame than practically anybody. There was nothing wrong with his art and he still sings beautifully, but that wasn't enough to protect him from the brutality of the barbarous world.
His story is one of giving and giving and giving, putting out the very best he had of himself, but finding this met with cold, hard, cruel reactions. Finally, he realised he had given so much, he hadn't retained anything at all for himself. While he was a big earner to agents and managers, he was pushed hard to bring home more and more money. Nobody cared about the price he paid or the toll it took on him. He was just a walking wallet, to all those people that sought to control him. Being eager to please, he let them. His life was not his own. He was milked dry and glibly tossed aside, when no longer able to draw in the crowds, as he once had. That sort of thing would have a tendency to unbalance anyone's state of mind, I feel.
The sensitive, gentle souls who want to please, by giving their art generously, straight from their heart, are frequently threatened, pressured and squeezed, until they exhaust themselves. All they want, in return, is to be loved, but that is precisely what they are denied.
After a while, you can see how easily the abused artist might begin to feel little other than betrayal, abandonment, like a total, abject failure and powerless to change the reactions of other people to them. Paranoia can set in, when you wake up, one day and realise that you have been taken advantage of, by people that you loved and trusted, who didn't have any concern about your well-being at all. It's a fair question to ask: who else might want to inflict such harm on you and who might already be in the process of doing so? Far from this being a delusional thought process, it's evidence-based. It's a rational, realistic response to sustained, unrelenting, merciless abuse. The facts are undeniable, if excruciatingly painful.
Our society tells these sensitive people to toughen up, in order to withstand the blows, but to do so would be a betrayal of their very essence, as human beings and quite frankly, why should they change to withstand the terrible behaviour of other people toward them? They are being treated in an unacceptable way, yet are told they must learn to accept it. No sane person could remain so, when confronted with that stark, blatant contradiction; constantly and coercively.
Countless other artists and musicians, poets and writers, lovers and pacifists have suffered madness or premature deaths, due to the despair they endure at the hands of their fellow human beings, behaving despicably. The body count is alarming and yet the death toll goes unremarked, never investigated and unpunished. Those that inflict the most harm walk away, scot free, presumably to inflict the same, or worse, harm on the next gentle soul they find.
It's regrettable, but true, that we live amongst legions of those that are ruthlessly competitive, bullying, heartless and domineering; whose credo is conquest and who seek to vanquish those they consider to be weak, comprehensively. It's not enough to win. They have to make sure the loser feels the loss acutely.
The human propensity to crush the gentlest, most sensitive creatures among us, who are often the kindest, sweetest, most loving and generous of people, as well as exquisite artists, dismays me utterly. They're obliterated like bugs under a steel-capped boot. The sensitive people are much easier to break than other people. We should treat them more gently, to protect them from harm. More than that, we should give them what they seek, instead of denying them, as if the act of denial is some sort of advantageous leverage and control mechanism.
They deserve love.
Do we have it in our hearts to love them?

Released in Update 1.19 on April 20th, 2016, the Titan Stage is an optional state of development of a Dragon - only the Dragons with the Titan Stage released into the game can be titan-ed up.
While optinal, the stage increases the Battle Health, Energy and boosts the Base Damage slightly. Titan-ing a dragon can also increase the percentages in Stable Missions and to an extent unlocks Titan-exclusive Stable Missions who are often very bountiful in Experience Points, Coins and often include Gem Prizes or Mystery Dragon Egg Chests.With the exception of Toothless who requires an active 6 or more months to come with the Alpha Toothless Skin, all the Titans comes with a cost: The appearance will be altered, the quantity of the alteration depends within Titans. Titans like Dramillion barely have any changes whereas Titans like Death Song change drastically - because the only available ways to Titan a Dragon are to use 50 Titan Runes who are hard to find or spend 500 to skip the Titan Runes, be sure to first check and look for images of said Titan before paying/wasting Runes on something that can't go back.

| 11.1°C Dublin
Lionel Messi scored the goal that clinched the Spanish league title for Barcelona last night, securing a 1-0 win at dethroned champions Atletico Madrid.
Messi slotted in the decisive goal in the 65th minute after working a sublime one-two with Pedro Rodriguez, who started in place of the injured Luis Suarez.
It was the Catalans' 23rd league crown and their seventh in the last 11 years as they re-established themselves as Spain's dominant club.
After failing to winning a major title last season, Luis Enrique's side can now focus on the final of the Champions League and the Copa del Rey as they aim for a treble.
"We're very happy with this glorious era with so many titles," said midfielder Sergio Busquets. "Last year we weren't up to the challenge to win any competitions, but this year we are on a good path and this is only the first.
"This winning era hasn't ended. What Pep Guardiola started with Messi, Xavi, Iniesta is still going. We have one title now and are two more wins away from a historic season."
Real Madrid will finish runners-up despite Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick in a 4-1 win at Espanyol.
They trail Barcelona by four points with one round left.
Atletico, who won the title last year in a winner-takes-all finale at Barcelona, were left in third place.
With Suarez out nursing a left hamstring injury, Messi moved into the centre of Barcelona's attack and had four shots in the first 20 minutes. He first sent two efforts into the hands of goalkeeper Jan Oblak before firing high and heading a ball off the arm of Juanfran Torres in the area, which went unpunished by the referee.
Messi next clipped the crossbar with a free-kick in the 34th before Dani Alves' dipping strike from long range forced Oblak to tap it over his bar just before half-time.
Barcelona kept up the pressure until Messi and Pedro finally broke down Atletico's defence, when the Argentina forward took three stunning touches in the area to fire the ball inside the post for his 41st league goal of the season - and his 54th in as many games in all competitions.
Ronaldo's goals - he leads the league with 45 - were once again not enough for Madrid to better Messi's Barcelona, and Carlo Ancelotti's team will end the season without a major title.
Atletico's defeat means they can be removed from third place by Valencia on the last day, given Los Che are only three points behind and trail Los Rojiblancos by a single strike in the goal-difference charts.
But a 1-1 draw with Celta Vigo, which saw Nicolas Otamendi rescue a point after Pablo Hernandez's early opener, leaves Valencia vulnerable to Sevilla, who are one point shy in fifth following a 2-1 victory over Almeria.
Vicente Iborra scored twice for the Andalusians to cancel out Thievy's first-half strike.
Athletic Bilbao mounted a late comeback to edge Elche 3-2 and move into seventh place.

Product Description
MOVING SALE: Help Us Reduce Inventory! Peak Bamboo is moving from leased warehouse space to owned warehouse space in the summer of 2019. Moving tons of bamboo is no-one's idea of a good time, so we'd like to sell down the inventory as much as possible. This is your chance to grab culms at a great price. Stock up!
Ten packs of A+ Grade Peak Bamboo normally retail for $1079.55 + S/H/I.
Moving Sale – We Ship: if we're cutting & shipping inside the United States, then the sale price is now $979.95 + S/H/I. This is the sale price noted in the webstore.
Moving Sale Price – You Pick Up: if you schedule a trip to the warehouse BEFORE we move and you drive off with your culms so we don't have to take the time and effort to box the culms, the price is only $949.95/ten pack (ten or more…the sale price on a per-culm basis will hold regardless of volume for 10 – 99 sticks; buy 100+ and we'll further sharpen our pencils). We'll still cut the sticks into thirds or halves at your request. If you're coming by to pick up your culms at this increasingly discounted price, please email for payment details and to schedule pick-up. Short version: you must pay by check and the check must clear in advance of your scheduled pick up date. If you prefer to be billed and pay through PayPal, we add a 4% PP surcharge to the bamboo price.
Sale prices not applicable to prior purchases. The Moving Sale ends the day we finish moving, and we're not quite sure when that will be, but the clock is ticking.
Grown In China.
Imported by Peak Bamboo.
We do not believe that you will find finer bamboo anywhere in the world than our A+ Graded Bamboo. (The pictures don't do it justice, but read the testimonials to fully understand what you're ordering). THIS IS A TEN-CULM PACK.
"Russ, Just wanted to let you know that the [A+] stick arrived late yesterday. This is by far the finest piece I have ever had to work with. It would be sinful to even think about flaming this so I'll be making a natural blond rod. Also thanks for the little package of coupons and Peak items. I'll be making a Paul Young Para 15 8′ 5 wt from this stick. Thanks, BJ W. – USA"
Read everything you need to know about Peak Bamboo at PeakBamboo.com, then return here to order. You'll learn things like:
- What is the bamboo graded on?
- Who's doing the grading?
- Why you should buy Peak Bamboo, as opposed to other brands
- How much do we keep on hand? and how much should you keep on hand?
Important Details:
- Shipping of all bamboo is on a custom, per-order basis and will be billed separately, after we cut, package, and weigh it. This currently takes 10 business days due to our backlog. PLEASE BE PATIENT.
- Need FAT culms? These are rare, but may be available at a premium. EMAIL US FOR DETAILS.
Looking for a Sampler? or a Beginner Pack?
RE Drying Splits:
Culms WITHOUT A Drying Split may travel better, but may also develop entirely random check splits due to temperature and humidity variations; Culms WITH A Drying Split will have, obviously, the drying split and they will also have a hinge split opposite the drying split…these culms are more compressible and may develop additional "handling" splits especially at the ends of culms, but they are less likely to develop random splits. It really is six of one, half a dozen of the other. Pick your poison. Or travel to pick them up yourself, which is the best way to secure 12′ sticks and to protect your investment. We offer Open Warehouse Saturdays approximately once per month.
RE Length, we have two options:
- 12′ cut into halves (Approx. 71" after sawing; clearly marked and bundled)
- 12′ cut into thirds (Approx.. 47" after sawing; clearly marked and bundled)
ROUGH U.S. Shipping Estimates: These are just ballpark estimates and you'll note that the shipping drops dramatically as you move from one to six culms. A single culm is running $75-$80 to most Continental US locations, but it's the box length and 'dimensional weight' that drive up the initial shipping cost. Two culms would be in the range of $85 -$95.00. By six culms you're looking at $120-$130, or just over $20.00/culm for shipping. At ten culms it drops to about $18.00/culm; at 24 culms you're looking at $16.00 or less per culm to most locations in the Continental US. Individual culm weight does come into play, and the average A+ stick weighs more than the average A- stick, so ten of one grade vs. ten of another grade would have modestly different shipping costs to the same location.

Some of us went shopping and found good Uyghur party outfits. This season's fashion expands beyond just sparkle and glimmer to include leopard and fishnet (it's considered trendy not trashy – this year in Uyghur shopping leopard is 'in' for every age).
The scene that greeted us at the door was much like any wedding a man in a suite, a women in white, even the bridesmaid. But this was no wedding…
This time we crashed a circumcision party. In Uyghur culture boys are circumcised when they are about 7 or 8 years old. The party and the actual event take place several weeks apart, which means last night was more of a big overblown birthday party for this kid too (hence the reason Mickey and Mini mouse showed up part way through the evening).
At these parties the mom and dad dress up like it's their wedding, the kids stand around singing songs and playing little game, all the relatives eat until they are stuffed, and we foreigners awkwardly swing our arms around and call it Uyghur dancing. But I think both of the boys would tell you: "It was the best birthday ever!"
