Static Vision release Christmas Eve single
Limerick trio plan their Escape for the festive period
Track: Escape
Band: Static Vision
Released: December 24 2021
The final door of 2021's musical advent calendar opened to reveal Static Vision belting out their Christmas Eve release Escape. They have previous with festive releases - Strange Things came out on Christmas Day in 2020.  There's a slower-paced, more ruminative feel to this track. And what a gorgeous start! It's got a sweet American alt-rock vibe to it. I'm thinking Big Star, Galaxie 500 or even Tom Petty. While less frantic than some of their punkier numbers, it retains the key Static Vision elements of melody coupled with their very own power pop paradigm. As they say themselves, their sound comes from a raw and burning desire to take the listener into their world of beautiful, simple yet distorted melody, written and played from a deep passion for what rock 'n' roll music is truly all about. Loud, youthful and heavy.
Cian from the band takes up the story - "This song is about the feeling of isolation and wanting to escape your own mind. Especially from negative thoughts and the pressures and expectations we put on ourselves. We hope this song can relate to a lot of people who these days are definitely struggling more than ever with their mental health."
"I've got something on my mind that ain't right" sings Cian with the words elongated in a beautiful falsetto worthy of Bends era Thom Yorke. "I just want to live my life, I just want to make it shine" is a mantra I suspect the majority of us are feeling after 2 years of a pandemic. This is high quality, empathetic, relatable songwriting performed by a band at the top of their game.
Bring on more of the same in 2022.

Mr. HELDER's Maiden Speech
MR. HELDER'S MAIDEN SPEECH.
According to the London correspondent  of the  "Manchester Guardian" who
states that on the occasion of Mr. HELDER's maiden  speech at Westminster, on
Monday night that gentleman "interested the House for  members who have gazed
wonderingly at him as he goes in and out amongst them  have wished curiously
to test the quality of his oratory." That our respected  member has passed
through the ordeal most creditably is evident from the fact  that a fair summary
of his speech has been published in most of the important  London and
provincial papers.
Mr. HELDER's subject was the Workman's Compensation for Accidents Bill, a
measure that contemplates vast benefits to the working classes, who, through its
agency, will no longer have to apply to law courts to recover compensation
for  injuries. It is a measure, in fact, that goes further in the interests of
working men than any other ever suggested  or attempted by radicals, and
proves at once that the Conservatives, if they make less noise, are the truest
friends of the parties concerned.
As Mr. HELDER is in a position to speak from experience on an important
subject as it is, it is not to be wondered at that his sound and sensible  remarks
should be listened to with interest. While speaking he was repeatedly
applauded, which is a compliment in which his constituents may share.
In Whitehaven and round about Mr. HELDER is accustomed to a welcome and  warm
reception, and it therefore gives pleasure to his many friends to know that
he has, in his maiden speech in the house, been listened to with respect and
approval. With regard to the Bill upon which Mr. HELDER spoke, there is much
to  be said for and against, therefore, as he very properly suggested, it is to
be  hoped it will meet with every possible consideration in Committee now
that it  has passed the second reading.

Who Sits at the Head Table During the Wedding Reception?
We hate to break it to you, but seating assignments are one of the least fun parts of planning a wedding. In addition to figuring out which combination of cousins, coworkers, and childhood friends will be the best dining companions, you've got to determine who gets to dine with the guests of honor (ya know—you!). If you're skipping the sweetheart table and placing yourselves front-and-center at a head table, we've got a few ideas for who you might want to invite to sit by your side.


As you can probably deduce from my previous writings, fishing with these guys is always an adventure. Today was no different. We decided to go to another one of my fall favorites, The Williams Fork. The Willy is a nice little tributary of the Colorado that fishes well once all the mosquitos die. The mosquitos will literally kill anyone that walks in the area, if you venture there in the summer I would reccomend 100% DEET. Trust me, cancer would be a blessing compared to 15 minutes with the blood sucking demons of the Willy.
The weather was uncharacteristically warm for this time of year, lots of sun and temps near the 60's. Today we got on the board early with a few scores, but we are still working on helping these Kansas folks hold fish in true Colorado fashion. I will say however that it is a small problem to have. A couple hours of good fishing brought everyones spirits up and helped make me look like less of an idiot.
Out of nowhere a few clouds rolled in and the winds ripped across the canyon. I consulted my Kansas relatives on the best way to avoid becoming a victim of a horrific death. They assured me that finding a low lying valley and being face down would assure my survival should I ever see a tornado. They also assured me that I was safe, Kansas is mathematically as flat as a pancake and so the risk of a tornado here in mountainous Colorado were slim to none. In fact, Dave laid down and took a quick nap as I cautiously watched the looming storm clouds.
With the beat down we put on our underwater allies I saw the eyes of my comrades begin to look heavy. I hesitantly asked if they were beginning to think it was time to pack it in for the day. Even though it was only 3PM the long walk out loomed in front of us and we began to work our way toward the path home. David especially needed to get back to the car to check his "fone" (that is honest to god how he spelled it) being as he had work that needed to be done back in Wichita. As we trudged back toward the car we noticed a few pieces of construction equipment that were sitting idle.

Why Do You Sweat When You Sleep?
One of the most common complaints made by patients to doctors relates to night sweats. Night sweats refer to the excessive sweating that happens when you sleep. So, why do you sweat when you sleep? There are many reasons for this.
For instance, your bedroom could be too hot or you may be covering yourself with too many bedclothes. It is actually natural to sweat during sleep. However, sometimes you may find yourself drenched with excessive sweat, so much that your clothes and sheets are completely wet. This may not be related to the outside environment – in which case you should be concerned.
So, again, why do you sweat when you sleep? What are the causes of night sweats that drench your clothes completely and leave you embarrassed on waking up in the morning, as you find yourself surrounded by all the wetness around you? Night sweats are common for sure, but they may also be caused because of certain important medical conditions that you should know about.
When you complain about sweating at night to a doctor, he or she will want to know your full medical history to help with the diagnosis. Your doctor will want to know if there is an underlying medical condition which hasn't been diagnosed yet which has led to the night sweats. The following medical conditions are known to cause night sweats.
Medications: There are certain types of drugs, such as antidepressants that cause a patient to sweat profusely at night. In fact, according to a study, around 20% of the people taking antidepressants sweat excessively at night. There are other medications that cause night sweats as well, such as those taken for fever or headaches, such as a common aspirin or acetaminophen. In fact, often, medication and drugs are the most common causes of night sweats.
Infections: Infections are the most usual causes of night sweats. By infection, we mean bacterial infections like endocarditis, which leads to inflammation of the heart valves, abscesses or osteomyelitis, which causes inflammation in the bones. Tuberculosis is a dreaded ailment which causes profuse night sweating. HIV patients are also known to sweat really badly at night.
Menopause: In women, menopause is accompanied by hot flashes at night, which causes profuse sweating. This is the most usual cause of the heavy sweating in women at night.
Idiopathic Hyperhidrosis: This is a unique condition in which the body produces an extraordinary amount of sweat for no real reason or without a single medical cause that has been identified by the doctor.
Cancer: Night sweating should be taken very seriously because on occasions, they are an early indication that one might have some form of cancer. Islymphona is the most common form of cancer that is associated with night sweats. Also, there are people who may not be diagnosed with cancer as yet but suffer from severe weight loss and fever. In such people, night sweating is a sign that something is seriously wrong and needs to be looked into.
Hormone disorders: There are many severe hormonal disorders, such as pheochromocytoma, hyperthyroidism, carcinoid syndrome and so on that cause night sweating.
Neurologic conditions: Some of the neurological conditions that cause night sweats are autonomic neuropathy, autonomic dysreflexia, stroke and posttraumatic syringomyelia.
Hypoglycemia: One of the most common causes of night sweating is low blood sugar. Medications related to diabetes or low blood sugar, such as insulin may result in hypoglycemia at night which causes profuse night sweating.
There are practical reasons for night sweating as well. Night sweating is not always because of a medical condition. It may be caused when you have extremely spicy food at dinner or really hot coffee. It may be caused if the weather is really quite hot or you are someone from a country with cold temperatures, such as Sweden or Ireland, and have travelled to, say, the Middle East or Africa and are finding it hard to adjust. Also, people who exercise at night are known to have night sweats as well.
If you believe that your night sweating is not because of any of the harmless, practical reasons listed by us, but because of an ailment or a medical condition, then you must book an appointment with a physician as soon as possible.

Memorials in Boynton, Jupiter remember victims of Pittsburgh shootings
Chelsea Todaro @ChelseaTodaroJorge Milian @caneswatch
Oct 30, 2018 at 10:12 PM Oct 30, 2018 at 10:16 PM
As the first burials for victims of an attack at a Pittsburgh synagogue took place Tuesday, close to 2,000 people gathered in Boynton Beach and Jupiter for a memorial and to show solidarity against a rising tide of antisemitism plaguing the U.S.
The Anti-Defamation League reports an increase of 57 percent in antisemitic incidents in 2017 -- the largest single-year jump on record. On Saturday, alleged gunman Robert Powers stormed into the Tree of Life Synagogue and killed 11 congregants while yelling, "All Jews must die." The attack is believed to be the deadliest in U.S. history against American Jews.
Rabbi Alon Levkovitz of Temple Beth Am in Jupiter said Tuesday's interfaith memorial, dubbed "Stand Together", was necessary because to do nothing "meant we agree with this culture of hate and antisemitism."
"We cannot just say, this to shall pass, because it will not," Levkovitz said. "If we're not actively working together against hate, nothing is going to change."
Religious leaders from various faiths spoke to a full house at Temple Beth Am while city police officers and private guards provided security.
Larry Abramson, an attorney and resident of Palm Beach Gardens, said that the shootings in Pittsburgh now have him "looking over my shoulder" when he attends religious services.
Abramson, 66, grew up in West Palm Beach, and said he can recall a time when he was not allowed inside clubs and hotels in Palm Beach because he was a Jew. He provided the anecdote to illustrate that antisemitism isn't new, but adds "that people are just less shy of doing it overtly now. They don't feel they have to hide it anymore."
Gary Krieger, of Palm Beach Gardens, said that antisemitism has always been around, causing the historical migration of Jews. But "when you come to a place like America and you've assimilated and given so much back to the country and you see something like this, it confounds the mind that it can happen," he said.
The solution, Krieger said, was for everyone "to stand as one and say we don't accept this."
At a memorial held at Temple Shaarei Shalom in west Boynton Beach, attendees learned that the Pittsburgh attack had a local connection.
Cindy Schlossberg, a chair member for the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County, told the crowd that a member of the Boynton temple, Barbara Kant, has a daughter who is married to a son of victim Melvin Wax.
"Barbara who would've wanted to be here tonight but she is in Pittsburgh preparing to attend (Melvin's) funeral tomorrow," Schlossberg said. "She wanted to thank everyone who came to honor the victims and who are standing up to anti-Semitism."
Schlossberg said she learned about the tragic news while returning from a trip to Israel.
"The first thing I heard as I stepped off the plane was the news of the deadly anti-Semitic attack," Schlossberg said. "Children of very dear friends whose weddings I've attended are members of the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill."
One of the speakers at the Boynton ceremony belonged to a local Muslim organization.
"To see the support amongst other faith-based groups is heart- warming," Michael Hoffman, president and CEO of the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County, said. "This shows a comprehensive community effort to stand against hatred."
During the ceremony Rabbi Anthony Fratello expressed the importance of coming together not just as a religious group but as a broad community wanting change.
"The more we can come together as a broader community of faith and a broader community of Americans the better we will be," Fratello said. "After mourning the dead, we will go back to work because in this country we are guaranteed rights, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Two Florida political figures, state Rep. Lois Frankel and county Commissioner Mary Lou Berger, attended the vigil.
Members of the Jewish Federation read the names of the 11 victims as their photos were displayed. Many in the audience had tears in their eyes as candles were lit for each victim followed by a moment of silence.

Q: Loading issues to get all filters set in jqgrid I'm trying to set filters stored in my database into the grid on load. This is working right now, but I'm not satisfied with the performance and the way of doing it..
The problem is that i insert my searching parameters into the grid, and afterwards I need to use the triggerToolbar() method.
The catch is when I also wants to set the page and sortorder of the grid. This is making two "reloads", and I think it should be possible to have just have one..
My code:
gridDOM.triggerToolbar();

setTimeout(function () {
    $("#Jqgrid").jqGrid("setGridParam", { sidx: sortnameFilter, sortorder: sortorderFilter, rowNum: rownumFilter, page: pageFilter }).trigger("reloadGrid")
}, 400);

Since triggerToolbar makes an ajax post I need to set the other reload in a timeout. Also something I dont like doing when considering stability.
Anyone got any solution to this?
Edit:
The code is running in the loadComplete event.

A: If triggerToolbar makes an ajax request. Call your reload in the success callback instead of using a setTimeout.
$.ajax({
  url : '',
  success : function(data){
     //do things
     //call reload
  }
});

Q: MbUnit - test dependecy when tests are in different assemblies doesn't work when using DependsOn Attribute I have this weird problem with DependsOn attribute.
I have a test A defined in Assembly ASSM_A and test B defined in ASSM_B (both are test fixtures).
When I define a dependency of test B on test A:
[TestFixture]
[DependOn(ASSM_A_NAMESPACE.A)]
public class B
{
    // my code .....
}

everything works and compiles in .NET (VS 2008, MbUnit version = 3.2.0.0, Gallio version = 3.2 build 601).
But when I load both assemblies ASSM_A and ASSM_B in Gallio and run test B (which depends on test A) I get the following message:
[warning] Was unable to resolve a test dependency.

When both tests are in the same assembly - dependency works as it is supposed to.
What might be the problem ? Maybe I should define my custom dependency attribute in case tests are in different assemblies ? If so, can anyone explain how to do so ?
Thanks a lot!
P.S.: Coding is done in C#.
P.S.S.: Read about AssemblyDependsOn but can't use it since it is old MbUnit
Read about DependsOnAssembly (which is basically the same as AssemblyDependsOn) but couldn't find int in MbUnit version that I am using.

A: The short answer is, that won't work.
Unfortunately, due to the way assemblies are loaded/isolated (by default, in a separate process), it would be quite hard to achieve what you're looking for.
A better error message would be good.

A: You should really have all of your tests in a single assembly (and your production code in a different assembly). This makes everything trivial, including dependencies and excluding test code from production code.
DependsOn works fine with tests within a single assembly, so I suggest you switch to this.

Q: Avoid exposing private member variables in hpp files I have implemented a class buffer_manager. The purpose of this class it to provide a buffer for my udp_client and tcp_client applications.
buffer_manager.hpp
#ifndef BUFFER_MANAGER_H
#define BUFFER_MANAGER_H

#include <iostream>
#include <exception>
#include <boost/array.hpp>
#include <boost/algorithm/hex.hpp>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iomanip>

class buffer_manager
{
public:
    typedef boost::array<unsigned char, 4096> m_array_type;
    buffer_manager();
    ~buffer_manager();
    void message_buffer(m_array_type &recv_buf);
    buffer_manager::m_array_type & get_recieve_array();
    std::string & get_message_string();

private:
  std::string m_message;
  m_array_type m_recv_buf;
};

#endif //BUFFER_MANAGER_H

buffer_manager.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/array.hpp>
#include <boost/algorithm/hex.hpp>
#include <algorithm>
#include "buffer_manager.hpp"

buffer_manager::buffer_manager()
{

}
buffer_manager::~buffer_manager()
{

}
void buffer_manager::message_buffer(m_array_type &recv_buf)
{
    boost::algorithm::hex(recv_buf.begin(), recv_buf.end(), back_inserter(m_message));
}

buffer_manager::m_array_type& buffer_manager::get_recieve_array()
{
  return m_recv_buf;
}

std::string & buffer_manager::get_message_string()
{
  return m_message;
}

I was told that if you are not planning to inherit from this class, there is no need to expose the member variables in the header file.
std::string m_message;
m_array_type m_recv_buf;

What is the option to do this without exposing the private member variables in the header files.? what are the advantages of such a method.

A: That is not quite correct. There are techniques that are more advanced (like a pimpl idiom or a virtual base class), but for normal usage they have to be in the header file.

A: The way of doing this is to move the private variables to the .cpp file. Any static global variables in a translation unit are essentially "private" because they cannot be accessed from other files. The rationale (from what I can tell) is that there's less cognitive load when you're reading the header file for a synopsis.

Stray Review: Let's Be A Cat (Spoilers)
July 24, 2022 - by Tiffany Padilla - Leave a Comment
The last time I played a silent protagonist was when I played The Quiet Man, but he wasn't a cute furry ginger cat; I'd probably have played more of the game if he was. Stray is part platformer, part adventure game where you control a cat that gets separated from his friends and ends up in a cyberpunk world, trying to navigate his way back to his gang of adorable strays.
If you're a cat lover, you will fall in love with this game within moments. The first few minutes are spent getting cleaned, cuddling, play-fighting, and meowing back and forth with your cat friends. What follows is a lovely moment of wandering around a beautifully created world of overgrown trees, a world that Mother Nature has reclaimed. Soon though, everything excellent shatters, and you fall off a giant cliff ending up hurt and limping. I'm too attached to cats and felt at that moment I'd probably cry a lot throughout this game. You soon find yourself in a post-apocalypse cyberpunk-type world with no humans in sight, simply wandering for what feels endless. After a frightening chase and a fun puzzle, you find yourself making friends with a small robot named B-12, and my heart swelled with love when B-12 put his battery pack (a small vest) on me, and I flopped over as an actual cat would. From this point, B-12 becomes your adorable floating robot companion who hangs out in your backpack and helps with puzzles and talking to fellow robots. All of this is only the first section.
Stray is generally an entertaining game with a compelling story, and the fuzzy feeling that the beginning moments give me is not something many video games have managed. Being a cat brings me light-hearted joy that otherwise wouldn't seem possible in this sometimes dark world. I love that there are moments that you're simply supposed to enjoy without fighting or wandering- you play a game similar to basketball at one point. It's actually just rolling a ball into a basket, but imagine a cat playing basketball, it's adorable. There's a dedicated meow button, so you must know there's a trophy to meow 100 times. Can you imagine how many times I meowed? Because I lost count. I meowed at everything: the robots, as I scratched a carpet, at trees, because if I'm going to be a cat, I'm going to be a noisy cat! Being a small, nimble cat is confusing at first because you see bars that separate areas or tiny crawl spaces, and then you realize, 'Oh, I'm a cat, I can just walk through these bars, I can crawl under the door' It's not something you're used to when you're always playing an upright humanoid character.
The futuristic soundtrack is beyond amazing. There are many video game soundtracks that I really enjoy, like The Last Of Us or Silent Hill 2, but this one might be hitting the top 10 for me. The music skips around between genres but always kind of keeps a good Sci-Fi feel to it. The sound design is even more beautiful, just listening to the pitter-patter of the cat's paws on roofs or different objects falling is amazing; I think that's why I knocked so many things over.
There are times the city is bleak, and then there are times it's very colorful and filled with charming robot citizens to chat with despite the fairly dystopian situation around them. Once I found a complete robot, I talked to everyone regardless of whether they had to deal with the plot. This game made me really care too much about these robots and I liked watching the little faces they made. It was interesting that when I meowed near them, they could show different facial expressions, no matter if it was annoyance or surprise at seeing a cat, or hearts in their eyes. There's so much to do, sometimes you'll just be wandering and jumping around trying to solve puzzles, then sometimes you're in an open world talking to people and enjoying the scenery, listening and taking in all the beauty.
One reason I was scared to play this game was that I didn't want to see a cat die, and my biggest fear in most games is fall damage, so I thought, 'Oh, I'm gonna trip with so much jumping and this cat will die,' but there's no fall damage in here. I don't have to worry about taking a step too far off an air conditioner and falling to my death. That's not to say the cat can't die, but honestly, it's pretty hard to kill the cat; he's very hardy. I played so delicately because I wasn't going to let this cat die- he meant the world to me and I looked at my own cat a lot throughout the game.
There are plenty of optional collectibles to keep anyone busy for hours, some can be right in front of you, or they can take you forever to find; there are some I still haven't even found, and I was studying everything. My favorite was collecting sheet music for a musician bot because you can lay right next to him and listen to him play his music, and it adds exactly what is needed at that moment. You can spend at least 2 to 3 hours finding collectibles.
This game is really an experience game; nothing gets repetitive or feels like it's being reused. It's a new feeling through every chapter; in some chapters, you'll have to do a specific thing and stick to that specific thing, but then you'll move to a new chapter, and it has its own new mechanics so the specific thing that you did the last chapter doesn't apply. I can say there's always excitement, no matter if you're being chased by small robot creatures called zerks, or in stealth sections where you're hiding from security drones. You can do things that aren't even needed because you're a cat, like knocking over every single thing you see whether it makes the plot go on or simply because you wanna be a jerk cat.
The ending leaves something to be desired. It felt like it ended abruptly and left me a bit empty, but that's entirely my personal opinion; you might feel a totally different way about it. I find the game so fascinating that I wish there were a bit more to it, like an extra chapter, being able to talk to robots more to find out extra lore, or more to do with B-12.
Stray is worth the price for a 5 to 7-hour game. It's endearing, whether you're scampering around, taking a nap on a cowboy, or just jumping from platform to platform, solving small puzzles. All in all, I find the game a solid 4/5. You'll love this game if you like cats, platformers, and story-based games. If cats aren't your thing, I would save your money for another game, maybe Nintendogs, if you're into dogs more.
Stray was created by BlueTwelve Studio and can be played on Steam, PS4, and PS5.

Many illegal marijuana growers from last two years not charged with crime in King, Snohomish counties
Plant count a factor in deciding whether to prosecute unlicensed marijuana growers
By Allison DeAngelis • March 1, 2017 1:30 am
The scene inside of a house in the 14200 block of SE 38th St. Bellevue police found 775 marijuana plants (Photo courtesy of the Bellevue Police Department).
Every year, police and fire departments across the region undercover illegal marijuana growing operations that cause large fires and contribute to the black market. But, it can be years before the alleged criminals are charged with a crime, if at all.
In nine uncovered marijuana grows from the last two years investigated by the Reporter, charges have only been filed in two cases. Though law enforcement uncovered thousands of plants, processed marijuana, processing equipment guns, money and other evidence, King and Snohomish County officials said that many cases are still under review and some are not moving forward because they do not meet the prosecutor's standards for prosecution.
Three Eastside cases from 2016 — two from Bellevue, one from Kirkland — are sitting on the King County prosecutor's desk.
On March 21, 2016, the Bellevue Fire Department responded to a fire in the 14200 block of SE 38th St. The location is less than 500 feet from two day care facilities, a violation of state law that generally leads to harsher penalties.
Inside, fire and police crews found a marijuana growing operation with approximately 775 marijuana plants. They also located a baggie containing 44.2 grams of processed marijuana.
Under the state law passed in 2012, persons over 21 years of age may possess one ounce (roughly 28 grams) of usable marijuana. The possession of marijuana plants is only allowed for those with a valid processing license. The suspect — who is not being identified because he has not been charged with a crime at press time — was found to have an expired medical marijuana license to purchase marijuana, but no valid processing license.
One month later, the Bellevue Police Department investigated two growing operations in the 1500 block of SE 43rd Place and the 1000 block of 158th Place SE. The operation of nearly 1,700 plants was allegedly being tended over by a 53-year-old man on behalf of a third party.
In September 2016, Kirkland police officers arrested a man who allegedly had 370 marijuana plants in a house in the 13500 block of 93rd Ave. NE, as well as a $5,000 marijuana processing machine.
Unlicensed marijuana grows such as these can pump millions of dollars into the black market.
In October 2015, a multi-agency law enforcement raid uncovered a large-scale growing operation in Renton and Skyway. The marijuana grows, which were worth an estimated $2 million, were housed in several residences.
During their two-month investigation, officers conducted "a ton" of surveillance, could detect the odor of marijuana coming from inside the homes and found evidence the suspect had illegally tapped into the home's power lines to run their growing equipment. Inside the homes, law enforcement found more than 3,000 marijuana plants, more than 150 pounds of processed marijuana and sophisticated growing and processing equipment, according to the Reporter's sister publication in Renton.
Charges were not filed until Feb. 8, 2017. A decision on whether or not the suspects in the Eastside cases will be charged for violating the controlled substances act is expected to be made in the coming weeks.
The suspects in non-violent offenses like drug crimes are not being held in jail, so prosecutors can take more time deciding on charges, according to Dan Donohoe, spokesperson for the King County prosecutor's office. If they have not been charged with a crime, the suspects are not required to remain in Washington.
The number of plants uncovered plays a large part in whether charges are filed, with some prosecutors having a threshold that must be met before charges are filed, according to law enforcement.
No charges have been filed in a 2015 Edmonds case in which law enforcement uncovered 368 plants after neighbors complained. A member of the South Snohomish County Narcotics Task Force told the Reporter it was because the case did not meet the plant threshold.
"I can tell you that the plant count doesn't meet their guidelines, but we're waiting for an actual decline notice for them," Sergeant Jeff Mason said.
In another case, Lynnwood resident Thurston Meyers was arrested twice in nine months for repeat illegal marijuana grows. He was first arrested and charged in early 2015 for growing more than 400 marijuana plants and five pounds of processed marijuana. The suspect was arrested a second time in July 2015 with more than 250 plants.
Meyers received a first plea deal in the first case that led to him not being charged for his second violation. Under the agreement, he was not fined or served any jail time, instead agreeing not to apply for a marijuana license, to grow marijuana, possess any controlled substances without a prescription and not have any new law violations.
According to Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Kirk Mahjoubian, there must be at least 100 mature plants with attached roots tended by a single grower for the prosecutor to consider charges.
In King County, Donohoe said while growing any number of marijuana plants without a license is illegal, they decide whether to prosecute on a case-by-case basis. He also disputed the suggestion that prosecuting illegal growing operations is not a high priority for head prosecutor Dan Satterberg.
"I really can't speculate with regards to a specific number of plants. We take it on a case-by-case basis. But, growing is illegal. We do distinguish, certainly, personal use versus someone who is participating in the black market and selling on a large-scale basis. Those are factors that we take into consideration," he said.

'The Bachelorette' Spoilers: Zach's Dramatic Fantasy Suite Doesn't Air Until Tuesday
by Lauren Weiler linkedin | More Articles: TV
Fans keeping up with ABC's The Bachelorette Season 19 know Fantasy Suites are finally here. Rachel Recchia is potentially taking three men on overnight dates — Zach Shallcross, Tino Franco, and Aven Jones. Zach and Rachel had a strong connection from the start, but The Bachelorette spoilers suggest their relationship goes awry. Here's what to know about when his dramatic Fantasy Suite date airs.
[Spoiler alert: The Bachelorette spoilers ahead regarding Zach Shallcross's Fantasy Suites date.]

ABC decided to stretch The Bachelorette Season 19 Fantasy Suites over the course of two days. The first night of Fantasy Suites begins airing on Monday, Sept. 5, 2022, at 8 p.m. ET. The second night airs on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2022, at the same time. Both episodes are two hours long.
Fans welcome the extra content surrounding the Fantasy Suites dates, as many viewers criticized the brief hometowns. According to the ABC schedule, Gabby and Erich's date is shown on the first night, as is Gabby's date with Johnny.
The Bachelorette Season 19 finale also takes place over two days. Part one of the finale airs on Tuesday, Sept. 13, and part two airs the following week on Tuesday, Sept. 20. The After the Final Rose live special rounds out the season and also airs on Sept. 20.

Fans keeping up with The Bachelorette spoilers can't wait to see what happens between Rachel Recchia and Zach Shallcross. The two were going strong throughout the season, and Zach admitted to Rachel that he was falling in love with her during hometowns. Unfortunately, something goes awry during Fantasy Suites week. Teasers for Fantasy Suites week showed Zach speaking to Jesse Palmer with tears in his eyes.
"What I can say about Zach is this. His conversation with Jesse in Mexico where Jesse is telling him he needs to tell Rachel the truth happens after his overnight date, and I can't tell you the exact wording because I don't know, but that's essentially Zach eliminating himself," Reality Steve revealed. "Whether it's him telling Rachel he's not ready, or that it's too serious and he's not there yet with her, like I said, don't know his wording."
According to The Bachelorette spoiler account bachelorsherlock, Zach's Fantasy Suites date airs on Tuesday. An unaired promo shows him and Rachel in a two-bedroom loft. It seems they go to the bedroom on the second floor, too, indicating Rachel invites him to the overnight portion of the date. Zach and Rachel stay at the Grand Luxxe – Vidanta in Mexico.
Does Zach make it to 'The Bachelorette' Season 19 finale?

Does Zach Shallcross make it to the finale with The Bachelorette spoilers pointing to a possible self-elimination?
It's tough to say when exactly Zach faces elimination or self-eliminates. With his entire Fantasy Suites date airing on night two, production may leave his possible self-elimination as a cliffhanger for the following episode. The following episode begins the two-part finale.
Additional sleuthing revealed that Rachel likely has a breakdown over both Zach and Aven, so they may get the ax in part two of the Fantasy Suites episodes.
The Bachelorette Season 19 Fantasy Suites begin airing on Monday, Sept. 5, 2022, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Q: upload multiple csv files to sharepoint folder in python? I am trying to save the data that pulled out from PostgreSQL db onto designated MS SharePoint folder. To do so, first I retrieved data from local db, then I need to store/save this data onto SharePoint folder. I tried of using office365 api to do this, but no data saved on SharePoint folder. Does anyone has similar experiences of doing this in python? Any workaround to do this in python? any thoughts?
My current attempt:
first, I did pull up data from local postgresql db as follow:
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
import pandas as pd
import os.path

hostname = 'localhost'
database_name = 'postgres'
user = 'kim'
pw = 'password123'

engine = create_engine('postgresql+psycopg2://'+user+':'+pw+'@'+hostname+'/'+database_name)

sql = """ select * from mytable """

with engine.connect() as conn:
    df = pd.read_sql_query(sql,con=engine)

then, I tried to store/save the data to designated sharepoint folder as follow:
from office365.runtime.auth.authentication_context import AuthenticationContext
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.files.file import File

url_shrpt = 'https://xyzcompany.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx?'
username_shrpt = 'kim@xyzcompany.com'
password_shrpt = 'password123'
folder_url_shrpt = 'https://xyzcompany.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/EnIh9jxkDVpOsTnAUbo-LvIBdsN0X_pJifX4_9Rx3rchnQ'

ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url_shrpt)
if ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_user(username_shrpt, password_shrpt):
    ctx = ClientContext(url_shrpt, ctx_auth)
    web = ctx.web
    ctx.load(web)
    ctx.execute_query()

else:
    print(ctx_auth.get_last_error())

response = File.open_binary(ctx, df)

with open("Your_Offline_File_Path", 'wb') as output_file:
    output_file.write(response.content)

but file was not saved on SharePoint folder. How should we save the data from PostgreSQL onto SharePoint folder using python? Is there any workaround to do this? any thoughts?
objective:
I want to write down the data that pulled out from PostgreSQL db onto SharePoint folder. From my current attempt, above attempt didn't save data onto sharepoint folder. Can anyone suggest possible way of doing this?

A: I think you should write csv files locally, then try following in order to upload them onto SharePoint folder:
from shareplum import Site
from shareplum import Office365
from requests_ntlm import HttpNtlmAuth
from shareplum.site import Version

UN = "myself@xyzcompany.com"
PW = "hello#"

cred = HttpNtlmAuth(UN,PW)
authcookie = Office365('https://xyzcompany.sharepoint.com',username=UN,password=PW).GetCookies()
site = Site('https://xyzcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/sample_data/',version=Version.v365,authcookie=authcookie)
folder = site.Folder('Shared Documents/New Folder')

files = Path(os.getcwd()).glob('*.csv')
for file in files:
    with open(file, mode='rb') as rowFile:
        fileContent = rowFile.read()
    folder.upload_file(fileContent, os.path.basename(file))

this is error-free and working solution, this should work for uploading files to SharePoint folder.

A: A slight variation to what @Jared had up there for  example if  one wants to create a folder based on a date and upload files to it from a location other than the root folder on the user's computer. This  will be  handy to people  interested in a such a solution, a problem I had.
from shareplum import Site
from shareplum import Office365
from shareplum.site import Version
import pendulum #Install it for  manipulation of  dates

todaysdate = pendulum.now() Get todays date
foldername1 = todaysdate.strftime('%d-%m-%Y') #Folder name in a format such as  19-06-2021

UN = "myself@xyzcompany.com"
PW = "hello#"

path = r"C:\xxxx\xxx\xxx" #Path where the files to be uploaded are stored.
doc_library = "xxxxx/yyyy" #Folder where the new folder (foldername1) will be stored

authcookie = Office365('https://xyzcompany.sharepoint.com',username=UN,password=PW).GetCookies()
site = Site('https://xyzcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/sample_data/',version=Version.v365,authcookie=authcookie)
folder = site.Folder(doc_library+'/'+foldername1) #Creates the  new  folder matching  todays date.

files = glob.glob(path+"\\*.csv")
for file in files:
    with open(file, mode='rb') as rowFile:
        fileContent = rowFile.read()
    folder.upload_file(fileContent, os.path.basename(file))

That's a solution that will work well for  anyone looking around for such code.

Committee on Open Government says Ogdensburg likely made a 'reasonable effort' to accommodate public as required by law
Tuesday, May 12, 2020 - 2:33 pm
BY JIMMY LAWTON
North Country Ths Week
OGDENBSURG – An opinion from the state Committee on Open Government says the city "likely" made a "reasonable effort" to "accommodate members of the public who wish to attend remotely."
A city council meeting Monday failed to take place after the number of people attempting to participate online exceeded the 1,000 maximum limit for the web-based meeting software and City Clerk Cathy Jock said proceeding would be a violation of open meetings law.
The state opinion was requested by Mayor Jeffrey "Mike" Skelly after a meeting set for Monday was postponed due to the number of people wishing to attend exceeding what the city could accommodate.
Skelly at the meeting said that he was in favor of the city council spending money to expand the application's capacity.
On Tuesday, Skelly issued an email to the Committee on Open Government, which was forwarded to North Country This Week by Deputy Mayor John Rishe.
Kirstin O'Neil, assistant director of the Committee on Open Government, said that state law requires public bodies to "make or cause to be made all reasonable efforts to ensure that meetings are held in an appropriate facility which can adequately accommodate members of the public who wish to attend such meetings."
However, due to the current circumstances, the governor's executive orders allow some aspects of that law to be exempted, as is often the case with emergency declarations.
"Of course, under current circumstances and consistent with the Governor's executive orders, public bodies, such as the City Council, are (not) holding meetings in "facilities," but instead are holding them remotely. In my opinion, if City Council meetings do not normally attract crowds of close to 1,000 or more, then offering a remote access program that can accommodate 1,000 participants would likely be considered a "reasonable effort" to "accommodate members of the public who wish to attend" remotely," O'Neil said in an emailed response to a request from Mayor Michael Skelly.
O'Neil said the council could further meet the governor's orders by live streaming the meetings.
"As long as the public has the ability to listen or listen and view the meeting while it is occurring, the City Council will have complied with the "remote access" portion of the Governor's executive order. In addition, we would recommend that the city post the recording of the meeting to its website as quickly as possible after the meeting has ended," she said.
Although most municipalities allow for public comment at meeting, state law does not require it.
However, the Ogdensburg City Charter does provide citizens with the ability to speak at meetings, separate from state law.
An excerpt from the city charter related to public comment follows:
• Addressing the Council. Any person desiring to address the Council prior to Council Action Items, by oral communication shall notify the City Clerk prior to the Council Meeting of their desire to speak in order that their name may be placed on a list and they will be recognized by the presiding officer without further action. Any person desiring to address the Council after New Business Items by oral communication shall first secure the permission of the presiding officer.
• Manner of addressing the Council - time limit. Each person addressing the Council shall stand, approach the microphone, give his/her name and address in an audible tone of voice for the record. Each person addressing the Council, prior to Council Action Items, shall limit their address to five minutes unless further time is granted by the Chair or requested of the Chair by a member of Council. Each person addressing the Council, after New Business Items, shall limit their address to two minutes unless further time is granted by the Chair or requested of the Chair by a member of Council. All remarks shall be addressed to the Council as a body, and not to any member thereof. No person other than members of the Council and the person having the floor shall be permitted to enter into any discussion, either directly or through the members of the Council. No questions shall be asked the Councilors, except through the Chair.
• Personal and slanderous remarks. Any person making personal, impertinent or Slanderous remarks, or who shall become boisterous, while addressing the Council may be requested to leave the meeting and may be forthwith, by the presiding officer, barred from further audience before the Council.
• Reading of protests. Interested persons, or their authorized representatives, may address the Council for the reading of protests, petitions or communications relating to an matter over which the Council has control when the item is under consideration by the Council, if a majority of the Council present agrees to let them be heard. Such readings shall be governed by the rules set forth within rule herein.
• Written communication. Interested parties, or their authorized representatives, may address the Council by written communication in regard to any matter concerning the City's business or over which the Council has control at any time by direct mail or by addressing the City Clerk, and copies will be distributed to the Council members.

Habits for a Healthy Marriage
– Richard P. Fitzgibbons
Fitzgibbons, Richard P. Habits for a Healthy Marriage: A Handbook for Catholic Couples. San Francisco, CA: Ignatius Press, 2019. 280 pages.
Reviewed by Christopher Siuzdak.
Drawing upon the temple portal at Delphi, the ancient Greek philosophers conveyed the invaluable aphorism of "know thyself." The Romans, influenced by Stoicism, developed a maxim counseling "master thyself." The Christian tradition contributed to civilization the notion of "give thyself," wonderfully recapitulated at the Second Vatican Council as making "a sincere gift of oneself" (Gaudium et spes, no. 24). Self-knowledge, self-mastery, and self-sacrifice are the pillars for a healthy and fulfilling marriage. Through a series of accessible vignettes and explanations, Dr. Richard Fitzgibbons conveys forty years of experience as a psychiatrist helping couples flourish in their marital relationship by detecting and displacing potentially corrosive behaviors or patterns with virtuous habits.
The first chapter discusses forgiveness as a remedy for anger. In many cases, angry outbursts reflect unresolved and misdirected anger from one's past. Not only can anger wound the delicate dynamic of a relationship, it can also be detrimental to physical health by significantly increasing the risk of heart attack. The author offers some strategies or techniques for forgiveness. "Forgiving those who inflicted hurts decreases anxiety, sadness, and anger and increases self-esteem" (136). Among the Scriptural passages cited, it would have been helpful to include that God is "slow to anger" (Ex 34:6; Num 14:18). Likewise, Pope Francis's reflection on patience as a dimension of love (cf. 1 Cor 13:4) found in the post-synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris laetitia seems germane but did not make it into the book.
The second chapter explores how generosity conquers selfishness. "Self-giving is essential to human fulfillment and happiness," writes Dr. Fitzgibbons (60). "Generosity," the author explains, "helps spouses to expand their thoughts and actions beyond their narrow desires, to encompass the greater 'we' of marriage and family life" (70). Chapter three discusses respect and the role it plays in overcoming the urge to control. The author notes: "Respect in marriage flows when the spouses deeply admire each other's goodness, abilities, qualities, and achievements. This respect contributed in no small measure to their being attracted to each other and to their decision to marry" (87). The author offers some advice on how to gently correct controlling spouses or parents. The fourth chapter treats responsibility as a means of closing emotional distance. The virtue of responsibility "prevents spouses from turning inward, expands and purifies their hearts, and helps them focus on 'we' and not on 'me'. It protects spouses from becoming prisoners of themselves" (109). Spouses need to see each other as the greatest gift given by God, not as yet another person making demands. By taking responsibility for the marital friendship, goals, and confiding in each other, spouses can turn into "each other's champions" (113).
The fifth chapter explores trust as the antidote to anxiety. "When offering one's spouse a needed correction or a recommendation for growth in addressing a weakness," Dr. Fitzgibbons suggests, "one should begin and end by affirming his goodness. This approach is called the sandwich technique of correction" (133). The sixth chapter discusses how hope reduces sadness and loneliness. The author points out that "the pursuit of holiness (rather than wealth) and the goal of attaining eternal life together" provides couples with a sense of common mission and can act as a buffer against discouragement, sadness, and depression. Chapter seven describes the harm that insecurity and ingratitude can inflict on a marriage. "Confidence in our God-given gifts and fundamental goodness makes us comfortable and fulfilled in giving love to our spouse and children and in receiving love from them," the author explains (163). "In married life, it is important for spouses to express their gratitude for each other every day" in order to counteract the pernicious tendency of taking the other for granted (172). He cautions about the "thinking error or cognitive distortion" of perfectionism (172). An attitude of gratitude is highly beneficial.
Chapter eight discusses prudence in relation to healthy communication. Fitzgibbons reflects: "The proverb 'problems shared are halved' is true in a marriage in which husband and wife share their burdens with each other and solve difficulties together. It is doubly true when spouses also share their concerns with the Lord" (181). The author advocates for emphatic listening, explaining that "problems need to be discussed in order for solutions to be found" (190). Moreover, "When spouses are sincerely trying to become other Christs to each other, they want to help each other carry their crosses by listening and offering supportive feedback" (190). He warns that "silence can be perceived as indifference or a lack of respect, which can lead to sadness, anger, a loss of trust, and a decreased motivation to communicate" (192). The ninth chapter addresses temperance, which includes the aspects of self-control and self-denial, as a restraint on compulsions and infidelity. Chapter ten shows that justice demands that couples who experience turbulence in their marital relationship should not "give up" too quickly. The author provides examples of some collateral damage and unintended consequences of divorce.
The eleventh chapter, entitled "Loyalty Lessens the Retreat from Marriage," discusses the causes and consequences of the so-called cohabitation revolution. The author also expounds on the benefits of marriage. The author points out that "chastity is not prudishness" (128). The twelfth chapter reflects on humility as a catalyst of self-knowledge. "Research has shown," the author reports, "that approximately 70 percent of adult psychological conflicts originate in childhood and adolescence" (263). By reviewing and reflecting on the models of marital life to which one was exposed and one's formative experiences, one can identify anomalies or limitations that need healing and growth.
The chapters are interrelated and reinforcing but can also stand alone. The intended audience includes both recently-married and long-married Catholic spouses, engaged couples, singles, parents, clergy, and mental health professionals. First and foremost, the book aims to assist Catholic spouses in maintaining or repairing the health of their marital relationship. Engaged couples, especially those who have been impacted by their parents' divorce, can learn how to uncover and resolve vulnerabilities. "This book can help Catholic singles be more hopeful about becoming successful Catholic spouses" (24). Parents, "who have the primary responsibility for the long-term preparation of their children for marriage," will be assisted in "modeling a loving, sacrificially giving, cheerful Catholic marriage" and "communicating the Church's truth about marriage" (25–26). Clergy will be assisted in preaching and teaching about marriage and in providing pastoral counseling. Vocations directors can be assisted in their evaluation of candidates for the priesthood and religious life by learning more about parental legacies" (27). Lastly, marital counselors will emerge better equipped to counsel couples with a Catholic spirituality. Given that many couples in distress are reluctant to approach a therapist because it appears costly or uninviting, Dr. Fitzgibbons's self-help resource fulfills a need by starting a serious conversation about identifying weak points in a relationship and encouraging individuals to undertake the demanding task of fostering virtuous habits in place of maladaptive ones.

– Corvino, Anderson, and Girgis
Corvino, John, Ryan Anderson, and Sherif Girgis. Debating Religious Liberty and Discrimination. New York: Oxford University Press, 2017. 343 pages.
In the set of dueling essays and rebuttals that comprise this work, the authors debate and help define the essence and scope of religious liberty within "an increasingly diverse, interconnected, and legally complex society" (3). Without wading into the thicket of historical scholarship regarding the formation and enactment of the First Amendment to the Constitution, the book opens with a succinct history of religious persecution and religious freedom in the United States. The authors center their debate on contemporary questions that have arisen as a result of the recent (2015) Obergefell v. Hodges decision of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Corvino argues that "religious liberty should not morph into religious privilege, licensing discrimination and inequality" (103–04). He favors replacing the "strict scrutiny" standard of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) with an "intermediate scrutiny" test for statutes that incidentally burden religion (51). Corvino advocates for laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) in order to prevent material harm and dignitary harm (helpfully defined in pages 72–73). He proposes and assesses three different paths to balance rights. The options range from "constructing antidiscrimination law in such a way that excludes certain types of businesses (e.g., 'expressive,' 'wedding-related,' 'small-owner operated') or certain services" (81–82), to granting religious exemptions while requiring "business owners who take advantage of such exemptions to post their position publicly" (85), to denying religious exemptions but permitting "business owners who object to same-sex marriage to post their position publicly" (87). Corvino is concerned that assertions of religious liberty could risk anarchy by allowing a religious citizen to become "a law unto oneself."
Anderson and Girgis argue that "a law merits extra scrutiny when it penalizes you for the chance to pursue basic goods adequately" (241) because "the state's basic duty is to empower and not encumber people's pursuit of the basic goods" (133). Religion and integrity are among the irreducible goods required for human flourishing, according to Anderson and Girgis. They argue that antidiscrimination laws should be promulgated to remedy social or material harm only "when media, market forces, and social pressure of other kinds aren't treating the harm themselves (182). Anderson and Girgis argue that "a given antidiscrimination bill should be passed only when: (1) private treatment of a particular group imposes (a) material and/or (b) social harms (c) which the law can best cure; and (2) the particular proposed antidiscrimination provision is drawn narrowly enough to (a) suppress interactions that inflict those material and social harms, (b) avoid banning too many legitimate or harmless interactions, and (c) avoid treading too far onto other interests like conscience, religion, and speech" (179). Anderson and Girgis are concerned that SOGI laws could be used in culture clashes as a metaphorical battering ram to suppress individuals and groups with views different from the prevailing orthodoxy.
This work is well-suited for a wide range of readers. The authors "attempted to frame things in a manner that is accessible enough for wide audiences — voters, politicians, students, and ordinary citizens of various stripes — but also detailed enough to be of interest to opinion leaders and academic specialists" (5). Anderson and Girgis's articulation and application of natural law reasoning (basic goods theory) to these questions of discrimination, toleration, and balancing of liberties is a noteworthy contribution to the field. Undergraduate students in political science, students of law and canon law, and all individuals interested in the intersection of religion and the law of the land will emerge better equipped to engage in public conversations on these neuralgic and high-stakes issues by pondering the points and counterpoints presented in this thought-provoking book.
– Ignatius of the Side of Christ
Fr. Ignatius of the Side of Christ. Meditations of the Passion and Death of Christ. Charlotte, North Carolina: TAN Books, 2018. 194 pages.
Reviewed by Deacon Thomas Skaja.
Meditations of the Passion and Death of Christ, written by Fr. Ignatius of the Side of Christ, a Passionist priest, is a compilation of The School of Jesus Christ Crucified, originally published in 1895, almost forty years after his death. Although his meditations are over a hundred years old, they are beautifully relevant today. In this book, Fr. Ignatius offers powerful reflections to the reader who journeys with Christ from his betrayal to his crucifixion and death.
From the moment Christ took leave of his mother prior to the Last Supper to the moment his side was pierced with the lance on the Cross, Meditations of the Passion and Death of Christ serves as a strong spiritual aid to assist the reader in going deeper into the Paschal Mystery. Fr. Ignatius takes the reader through thirty-one meditations on the Passion and Death of Christ, enabling a person to meditate on a different aspect and event of the Passion every day for a month. He begins each meditation with a brief description of an aspect of Christ's passion, which is followed by several different considerations. These reflections are followed by what he calls a "fruit," or some practical way of living out the particular meditation. The lesson is then concluded by an example of a saint who exemplified the mystery by the way he lived his life.
Fr. Ignatius roots these meditations in Sacred Scripture, and then expounds upon them in an elegant manner. The reader will be sure to appreciate the depth in which he speaks about these events in the Passion of Christ. For example, when he examines the denial of St. Peter, he does not merely gloss over the event, but rather takes the reader through the causes of what led him to deny the Lord. Fr. Ignatius then relates the causes of Peter's denial to what causes a person to fall into sin. Time and time again, he gracefully and succinctly delves deep into these meditations, plunging the imagination and the soul of the reader into the last moments of Christ's life. In a real way, Fr. Ignatius guides the reader and takes him back to that Good Friday so long ago, in order to help him to experience the Passion and Death of Christ in a new way. Undoubtedly, this text will serve as a classic Lenten reflection for all who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of Christ's sacrifice, as well as his immense love for us.
Overall, the efforts of Fr. Ignatius are praiseworthy in leading the reader through the mysteries of Christ's Passion and Death. Written in the nineteenth century, the language is accessible, though advanced. By "advanced," I do not mean to say that a theological degree is required before reading this book, but to acknowledge that this is a text full of theological depth and insight. Because it is theologically rich with meaning, the meditations allow for deep prayer and contemplation, which will make for a beautiful monthly retreat, especially in the season of Lent. With that said, it seems to me that this compilation is not merely the fruit of intellectual research, but is all the more the fruit of his prayer and love for Christ as a Passionist Father.
Meditations on the Passion and Death of Christ is a book that has already proven itself to stand the test of time. Having read and prayed through these wonderful meditations, I am grateful that this work of Fr. Ignatius has been re-published and made available for the modern-day Christian. I would recommend this book to anyone who seeks to grow deeper in their relationship with Christ, the Blessed Mother, and the saints, particularly to those who seek to enter more deeply into the mystery of the Passion and Death of Christ. As I have mentioned, this classic text would make for a beautiful Lenten retreat, as the reader slowly walks with the Lord through his last hours on earth.

In her book, Target Africa: Ideological Neocolonialism in the Twenty-First Century, the human rights activist Obianuju "Uju" Ekeocha has provided a clearly argued and provocative exhortation on moral truth, human dignity, cultural identity, national autonomy, and the self-determination of peoples. In doing so, she has given the human family, especially the West, a popular re-read of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Ekeocha affirms and appeals to these fundamental rights of nations while unmasking the perpetuation of colonialization on the African continent. She begins her 203-page work with a summary of the end of historical, temporally governed colonization of the various countries of Africa. After reminding readers of this dark past, Ekeocha describes the continued presence of Western countries in Africa and the manipulation that is often employed in the giving of foreign aid. Such manipulation, no longer born from historical direct governance, is much more disguised and deceptive.
Western countries and their various corporations feign a love and concern for the African peoples and offer vast sums of assistance. African countries, many of whom are in dire need of such support, accept the aid that's offered. After the assistance is given, however, new expectations and demands are imposed. Such demands often betray the spirit and way of life of the recipients. If any objection is raised, the benefactor nation or corporation threatens to suspend or withhold the promised aid.
The real arrangement, falsely represented, is quickly made clear as the donor reveals its true motive. The foreign aid is not to help with industry or agriculture, vaccinations or education, infrastructure or technological development, but rather to use the vulnerability and lack of options of African nations to impose a foreign, non-African ideology onto the peoples and cultures of Africa.
Such an ideology, completely removed from African values and sensitivities, oftentimes involves definitions of marriage, family planning, parenthood, abortion, and radical feminization. As an outside worldview, which is forced upon ancient cultures, it becomes an ideology is tantamount to a new colonization.
This new, ideological colonization is dismissive of local values. It's condescending to native peoples, belligerent of revered customs and traditions, and is aggressive in its stance against fatherhood and parenthood.
Ekeocha explains: "Africans by and large believe that sex is sacred, that human life is precious from womb to tomb, that children are blessings, that motherhood is desirable, and that marriage between man and woman is life-generating" (29). She continues: "To take them away from us amounts to invasion, occupation, annexation, and colonization of our people" (29).
After giving a summary of various fundamental rights, Ekeocha explores the various aspects of the new ideological colonization. Throughout the book's eight chapters, she dives into questions on population control, the hypersexualization of youth, the seeds of radical feminization, the push for abortion rights, and the normalization of homosexuality.
Ekeocha is bold in unmasking the "modern-day colonial masters" who intimidate African nations, threaten their well-being, and ride roughshod over African values and the African family. Rather than invest in African agriculture and resources, education, and technological advancements, the new masters show their true colors. Africa and its inhabitants are seen as an occupied and controlled territory that can be used for ideological experimentation and social engineering.
In her book, Obianuju Ekeocha has given a well-formulated exposé of Western ideological neocolonialism and a well-argued summary of the fundamental rights of peoples and nations. This is one of those rare books that should be read and studied by all people of goodwill.
Target Africa: Ideological Neocolonialism in the Twenty-first Century shows us a glimpse of what Western culture once was, what has been lost in the West, what is under attack in family-oriented African cultures, and why it's worth fighting for and preventing as we move forward.

Although it is probably unfair to judge a book by its review, there seems to be an omission in what is covered: there are many spiritualities which support and encourage the fullness of Christian Marriage; and, therefore, whether it is Marriage Encounter, the Neocatechumenal Way or whatever it is, marriage benefits from the presence of others in the Christian life. Furthermore, and generally as a part of that spirituality, there is a tremendous help in a prayerful reception of the teachings of Christ's Church, the enlightenment and help of the word of God and time together "in retreat", with or without the children. For a reflection on over twenty years of marriage and how it has been punctuated by pilgrimages, with and without the children, see: The Family on Pilgrimage: God Leads Through Dead Ends, published by En Route Books and Media: https://enroutebooksandmedia.com/familyonpilgrimage/.

Dr. Rick Fitzgibbons says:
Francis,
I recommend that you review my book again. You seemed to have overlooked the citations of the benefits of the luminous writing of St. John Paul II on marriage in each chapter for struggling couples. I also suggest you read again the stories in each chapter on the benefits of faith, in addition to virtues, in addressing the powerful and harmful emotional and personality conflicts in each, often arising, in part from unconscious childhood wounds or negative modeling. Finally, I suggest you review the role of faith as it is discussed in attempting to resolve the excessive anger that is present in every major marital conflict and that blocks their resolution.
The book offers a unique approach to marital healing based no over 40 years of clinical work that incorporates the writings of the Saint of the Family, St. John Paul II, Catholic meditation and prayer with positive psychology, particularly Forgiveness Therapy, with its focus on growing in virtues to resolve conflicts in self-giving in order to maintain a. healthy personality. Healthy marriages are dependent upon each spouse honestly facing and addressing his/her own weaknesses so that they can become in the process another Christ to their spouse.
This is demanding work. However, as St. John Paul II wrote, "But this is precisely the source of its beauty: by the very fact that it is demanding, it builds up the true good of man and allows it to radiate to others." p. 19

Liverpool's Pep Lijnders attacks 'absurd' Premier League schedule continuation
Lijnders: 'the experts are scientists and doctors, not managers'Liverpool dismayed at lack of support for deferring some gamesLiverpool's assistant manager, Pepijn Lijnders, has described the decision to press on with the Premier League's festive schedule as "absurd" and warned it will increase the risk to players' health.
Liverpool were among a small number of clubs at Monday's meeting in favour of deferring one fixture from the three rounds scheduled to be played from 26 December to 3 January. They were dismayed that the recommendation did not receive wider support, given that 10 Premier League games have been postponed because of Covid-19 recently and a record 90 players and staff tested positive last week. Lijnders believes the decision to persevere with the festive programme is another example of authorities responding too late to the pandemic.

Proposed Jefferson Parkway Hits a Big Bump in the Road: Broomfield
Lauren Boebert's Wild Attack After Resignation Calls Explode
KOA Invests in Alfred Williams, Extending His Contract by Five Years

KOA is investing in its newest host.
Is KOA's investment in Broncos and CU Buffs sports legend Alfred Williams paying off? The flagship of iHeartRadio's local outlet seems to think so. The station announced on Thursday, December 26, that it is extending "Big Al"'s contract by five years.
"Big Al has set the standard for afternoon drive radio," said Tim Hager, president of iHeartMedia Denver, in a statement. "This long-term renewal is a testament to Al's impact and importance to iHeartMedia, KOA, our partners and his legion of fans throughout Colorado. Not only is he a tremendous talent and a great man, but he is the type of guy who you want on your team no matter what you are doing, and we are so glad he's a part of our team."
Williams's show may have a dedicated fan base, but it's relatively small compared to the program that came just before his that recently moved to Freedom 93.7 in Denver: Rush Limbaugh's syndicated talk show. In August, KOA had a 4.0 audience share, meaning four out of every hundred people listening to the radio were tuned into the station, according to industry magazine Talkers. That slid to 3.0 in September, when Williams's show debuted, and 2.4 in October. The station notched a slightly better figure in November: 2.5. Meanwhile, Freedom 93.7 went from a 0.8 share in August to a 2.1 share in October.

The argument could be made that listeners are simply still warming up to Williams, who played with the Broncos when they won the Super Bowl in 1997 and 1998 and was an All-American linebacker at CU Boulder. Williams got his start in radio at 104.3 The Fan, teaming up with Darren "D-Mac" McKee on The Drive until February of this year, when Williams announced that he would leave the station and join KOA.
Williams welcomed the contract extension: "I'm happy and excited to sign a multi-year extension with one of the most dynamic and innovative companies in the world," he said in a statement. "I've learned so much in a short time about the strength of iHeart and I've met radio giants and artists that would make anyone blush. I'm still learning about all the areas that I can contribute to, and I'm amazed by the many opportunities this role gives me to connect with the Denver community and do what I love."

3 arrested as people clash at immigration town hall in Santa Ana
By Anthony Mendoza | anmendoza@scng.com | Orange County Register
PUBLISHED: May 30, 2017 at 11:40 pm | UPDATED: May 31, 2017 at 1:33 pm
SANTA ANA – A man was arrested on suspicion of assault and two women were detained at the Town Hall & Immigration Workshop in Santa Ana on Tuesday night, May 30, police said.
About 15 minutes before the workshop began, a fight broke out between two women inside the Delhi Center, Santa Ana Cmdr. Matt Sorenson said.
They were arrested for assault and battery on each other, police said, and issued citations and released with promises to appear in Orange County Superior Court.

Organizers temporarily stopped the event, which prompted people on both sides of the immigration debate to flood the parking.
Soon, a man struck another person in the head with the pole of his anti-fascist flag, Sorenson said. He was arrested for assault. The victim of the flagpole incident sustained a small laceration.
Because police were aware that counter-protesters planned to attend, 10 officers were stationed at the scene.
The event was hosted by Rep. Lou Correa, D-Santa Ana, to give an update on new immigration policies.
"I completely support the right of all parties to exercise their First Amendment rights," Correa, who represents California's 46th Congressional District that includes Anaheim and Santa Ana, said in a statement. "However, I urge people to act responsibly and refrain from violence."

With rubber cushioning any time of impact, when kids fall down the risk of injury reduces at a considerable level.
When kids play a lot of noise emerges. This could stem out to be a major problem where night workers along with babies sleep during day times. When you keep rubber tiles, you reduce the noise levels at a considerable level. The reason being rubber absorbs sound well. Falling or jumping would be a lot of ease as rubber would absorb. Not only you will be able to eliminate sounds but will go a long way to reduce the noise levels down.
Rubber emerges to recycle product, does possess nonslip features. In fountains, pools or water bodies at a premises rubber would be extremely useful. With rubber the features of slip resistant for exteriors which do require a lot of perspiration.
Recycle versions of rubber products are long-lasting and durable at the same time. You expect the flooring surface to stand up to a lot of abuse as it would not be prone to any form of damage.

Dom Smith scratched from lineup after experiencing "general wrist soreness"
The injury does not appear serious, and Smith took some reps in left earlier today

The Mets have scratched Dominic Smith from the lineup, manager Luis Rojas announced before the team's 1:05pm game against the Marlins in Jupiter, Florida. Smith was originally slated to hit fifth and play left field, but he will miss the contest and is listed as day-to-day. Mallex Smith will take his place.
Dom Smith has been dealing with "general wrist soreness" during the spring, so the first baseman turned left fielder is taking the day off from hitting. He did get in some defensive work in left field earlier in the day, so it appears the scratch is mostly precautionary and is not too worrisome.
Smith played in yesterday's game and launched a three-run home run to give the Mets a lead that they would not relinquish en route to an 8-3 victory over the Astros. It was his second long ball of the spring. He has gotten off to a slow start so far, slashing .182/.182/.455 in 22 at-bats.
The focus for Dom Smith this spring has been getting him acclimated to left field, so his ability to get some work in defensively this morning is still valuable, even if he couldn't hit. Smith has mostly served as the designated hitter in game action so far as the team tries to ease him in to his new permanent position.
