Kids often hear Sunday school lessons about Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus. But what about Ehud, Deborah, Jonathan, and some of the other lesser-known but equally colorful heroes of the Bible? Popular children's author and illustrator Sandy Silverthorne uses hilarious drawings and modern-day settings to introduce kids to some of the everyday people God has used in amazing ways. Each story includes an age-appropriate devotional that ties a life lesson to the character and helps kids apply what they learn to their own lives.
These tongue-in-cheek but historically accurate retellings will help readers (8 to 12 years old) discover some of the hidden gems in the Bible. Even "reluctant readers" will become immersed in these stories and enjoy watching the way God can turn anyone into a surprising and unusual hero in His plan to reach the world.
Sandy Silverthorne has been writing and illustrating books since 1988. His award-winning Great Bible Adventure children?s series sold more than 180,000 copies and has been distributed worldwide in eight languages. He?s worked with Focus on the Family, Universal Studios, and the Charlotte Hornets.

Im back and were disbanding and someone spammed me but im sorry i cant keep up.

The Bible is jam packed full of stories and yet, there are so many that children – and some adults – don't know. Even the children that attend church regularly. Do you know about the heroics of the Egyptian midwives? Do you know how a woman is credited with saving Israel's army when Barak didn't follow God's command? Has your family discussed the heroism Esther and Rahab? Hott Review AWESOME! My family thoroughly enjoyed this book. So many times the Bible stories seem to be designed for either girls or boys but these stories encompassed everyone – from the littlest to the eldest. While we generally knew these stories this book put them into a different light and reinforced in us how God uses every day people – adults and children, women and men – to fulfill his plans. Divided into short stories, this book makes for great devotional or bedtime reading.
This book is a great read for older children and pre-teens. The author has selected several lesser known Bible characters (as well as a few more common ones) and told their stories. The stories are written on a pre-teen level, and in some cases have been altered to fit that audience. (The case in point being that the story of Rahab leaves out the fact that she was a prostitute.) However, the stories do maintain their Biblical integrity, in spite of the characters saying "Whatever" a good deal and there being a lot of eye rolling going on. I feel that this book is great way to introduce children to some lesser known Bible characters. The stories are Biblically accurate, and will no doubt pique an iterest in learning more about these and other Bible characters. The only complaint I have about this book is the illustrations. The illustrations are stick figures style and lack detail. I would have liked to see more detailed drawings; maybe in comic-book style and not the basic stick figures. Over all, this is a fantastic book that I believe would be enjoyed by boys and girls alike. The stories are Biblically accurate and open a door to more in depth Bible study.

XML Schema Companion, The
15.7 Character Class Ranges
It is not necessary to individually specify every possible character in a large group of characters when the options form a sequence. For example, '[abcdefghijklm-nopqrstuvwxyz]' is a verbose way to specify that any lowercase letter can occur. When a large set of options have sequential character code values (according to the Unicode standard, which incorporates the ASCII standard), as in the example above, then a range can be specified instead. A '-' separator is placed between the first character in the range and the last character in the range. For example, '[a-z]' is a more succinct method of specifying that any lowercase letter is allowed.
Multiple ranges can be given. The following expression allows digits and all non-accented letters to occur:
<pattern value="[a-zA-Z0-9]+" />
If the '-' character is needed within a character class, it can be escaped with '\-', but it is not necessary to do this outside of a character class. Alternatively, it does not need to be escaped if it is the first or last character in the character class, so '[-abc]' and '[abc-]' both specify that the character must be 'a', 'b', 'c', or '-'.
The ISBN example can now be shortened still further:
<pattern value="0-201-[0-9]{5}-[0-9x]" />
Alternatively, here is a simplified ISBN pattern that unfortunately allows the 'x' check digit to occur anywhere in the code and does not specify exactly three hyphens, as earlier examples did:
<pattern value="[0-9x-]{13}" />
A more generalized ISBN code can also now be represented. In this case, no assumption is made as to the area or publisher, so the exact number of digits in each part of the code cannot be known:
<pattern value="[0-9]+-[0-9]+-[0-9]+-[0-9x]" />
An XML character reference such as '{' or 'ª' can be included in a range. This is particularly useful for representing characters that are difficult, or even impossible, to enter directly from a keyboard (but note that escape sequences that achieve the same purpose in similar expression languages are not supported here).
This approach can still be used even when some of the characters in the range would not be valid. Individual characters can be selectively removed from the range, by use of a subclass with a '-' prefix. For example:
<pattern value="[a-z-[aeiou]]+" />
This pattern removes all vowels as valid options from the list, including the 'a' character itself, despite the fact that it actually appears in the range (where it is needed because it signifies the start of the range):
<Consonants>bcd</Consonants>       <!-- OK -->
<Consonants>xyz</Consonants>       <!-- OK -->
<Consonants>abcdefgh</Consonants>  <!-- ERROR -->
Such a subclass can be included within a negative character class. This can look confusing, but the characters allowed are simply reversed, so '[^a-z-[aeiou]]' indicates that consonants are not allowed, but vowels (and other characters) are allowed.

The Nest Bedding Alexander Memory Foam mattress combines a top quality, topnotch density memory foam and a plush quilted top to provide a variety of benefits of name brand memory foam mattresses without off-gassing, and at a reasonable price.
Crafted and designed in America using locally-sourced materials, offering evenly–distributed pressure relief at an reasonable price, the Alexander mattress has been ranked at the top of majority of review sites as the most comfortable bed.
All of their models can be found in multiple relaxation firmness options, and with 2 memory foam beds, 3 hybrid models, and 1 latex, I am sure you'll be able to find the feel and support that is ideal for you. So, whether or not you're weigh very little, heavier, sleep on your side, or you deal with chronic pain, Nest can fit your preferences on at least one of their beds.
Alexander Signature: The Alexander Signature is a memory foam mattress. The comfort layer features four layers: a quilted cover made of cotton and polyester, an uppermost layer of 4 PCF memory foam, a center layer of 4 PCF polyfoam, and a base layer of transitional polyfoam. The support center is made with 1.8 PCF polyfoam. The Alexander Signature is available in 2 firmness options: Luxury Firm and Medium.
Love & Sleep: The Love & Sleep memory foam mattress is built with layers of 2.8 PCF memory foam and polyfoam in the comfort layer. The support center is built from 1.8 PCF polyfoam. The Love & Sleep is offered in two firmness levels: Medium and Luxury Firm.
Alexander Hybrid Luxury Contour: The Alexander Hybrid Luxury Contour highlights a comfort layer containing 3 layers: a cover made of 2.5 PCF copper-treated, phase-change gel memory foam; a center layer of 3 PCF polyfoam; and a bottom layer of 4 PCF memory foam. The support core is constructed with a high-density polyfoam edge reinforcement and pocketed.
Hybrid Latex: The Hybrid Latex model features 1 layer of Dunlop latex in the comfort layer. The support center is built with individually-wrapped coils and a bottom layer of 1.8 PCF high-density polyfoam. The cover is built with a blend of cotton and wool.
Latex Mattress: The Latex Mattress is available in 'Blended Latex' and 'Organic Latex' options; these options share the same general framework, but differ significantly when it comes to pricing with the Organic model being more expensive. Additionally, the Latex Mattress is available in three firmness levels. The 'Soft w/topper' option has a comfort layer built from soft Dunlop latex, as well as a 3 inch Dunlop latex topper. This option is more pricey because of the addition of the topper. The 'Medium' and 'Firm' options forgo the topper; the 'Medium' uses a soft Dunlop latex comfort layer and a firm Dunlop latex support core, while the 'Firm' uses a firm Dunlop latex comfort layer and a gentle Dunlop latex support core.
The three varying firmness settings of the Alexander Signature Hybrid all make use of the same general construction, but with slightly different foams and densities. Each mattress begins with 8 inches of individually-wrapped support coils. The next layer is 1 inch of "SmartFlow" support polyfoam, that is intended to improve airflow and aids with heat retention. Each firmness level utilizes 3 PCF (lbs per cubic foot foam in this layer. The subsequent layer is 1.5 inches of either 2.5 PCF copper-treated "Energex" polyfoam (Plush), 3.5 PCF copper-treated Energex polyfoam (Medium) or 4.5 PCF slow-recovery memory foam (Luxury Firm). The last layer is 1.5" of "TitanChil" cooling polyfoam. The mattress cover is 1.5" of 4 PCF gel-infused memory foam within a quilted, cooling fabric. This provides a gentle feel.
The Alexander Signature Hybrid is available in 3 firmness settings: Plush (3), Medium (5) and a Luxury Firm (8). Firmness level is measured on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most firm and 1 being the least firm. You can select between Plush, Medium, and Luxury firm. Weight will make an impact on what works for you. Generally, heavier people prefer firmer mattresses while lighter people normally discover they can achieve more hug and contour on plusher beds.
Hybrids usually don't isolate movement as well as all-foam mattresses usually do, due to the fact that springs permit movement to more easily transfer across the surface of the mattress. The Alexander Signature Hybrid, though, has several foam layers on top of its inner-springs. These layers help the bed absorb movement to a significant extent. As soon as I tossed and turned next to my colleague, you could not identify much movement in her body. She detailed that she could feel it, but it was minimal. Despite this, the bed still exhibits exceptional bounce.
If you have mobility problems, moving around in a reclined position can be hard. Traditional memory foam often caused a lot of sinkage that it made it challenging to move around. But if you have too much rebound, it's easy to disturb sleep.
You may experience some sinkage using the Alexander Signature Hybrid due to its soft foam top layers. However, this sinking feeling is different from what you would obtain with a more traditional memory foam bed as it is mitigated by the mattress' supportive pocketed coil system. Meaning you will sink, but will still have the ability to move around conveniently and get out of the mattress without too much work. While there is some sinkage here, it's not quite as striking as it would be on a conventional memory foam mattress. This makes for exceptional pressure relief with no stuck-in-the-bed experience.
The inner-spring coil support base of the Alexander Signature Hybrid functions to reinforce its perimeter. This produces a level sleeping surface across the whole bed and helps prevent sagging and sinkage at the edge of the bed. The spring coils are great at setting that strong base you want. When I moved in a variety of positions, I felt fairly well-supported. I could feel and you could actually see where I really do sink in a little bit, but the sinkage from the bed suddenly ends where the inner-spring coils start. Despite the soft foam uppermost layers, this bed is quite supportive, thanks to the eight inches of pocketed coils at its core. It's quite easy to get in and out of the mattress, and I'm well–supported when I lie on the border, a big advantage for sleeping partners.
The Alexander Signature Hybrid sleeps quite cool. The inner-spring coils permit enough airflow, helping to diminish body heat. The foam layers, which usually trap warmth, are infused with cooling gel and copper to offset this common issue. This bed is a great fit for people who need to sleep cool. This hybrid does a wonderful job of isolating and dispersing warmth, resulting in a sleeping experience that is marvelously cool.
After an Alexander Signature Hybrid mattress is made, it is compressed, vacuum-sealed in plastic and delivered to your doorstep in a box that is marked. Whenever a mattress is compressed and vacuum-sealed, it tends to emit a temporary smell when it is opened. This odor is called "off-gassing." You should expect to see this with the Alexander Signature Hybrid, but the smell should fade immediately.
If you're convinced that one of the Nest mattresses is the ideal mattress for you, the size and pricing info for your mattress can be found below. Please note that these prices reflect standard pricing, excluding my special promo. Click here in order to get my promo discount and receive 5% off your mattress today.
Overall, the Alexander Signature Select Series is a wonderful mattress for anyone who enjoys a quality designed mattress that is firm yet comfortable. I suggest it to anyone who enjoys the pillow-top feel and understanding that their mattress is great for the environment.

Saldivar Spruces Up Police Barracks #449768
Police Minister John Saldivar has been much in the news tonight - and that's because there are so many security issues. But, the reason we got to interview him in the first place is because Saldivar wanted to show off the work the ministry and the police are doing to refurbish the police barracks at the Queen Street station.
That is the Rafael Fonseca Barracks named after the former Financial Secretary - father of Ralph Fonseca.
It was opened probably two decades ago - and until recently - it had looked like it!
But now - with the ministry footing the bill, special constables providing the labour and a Superintendent overseeing the work - the third floor of the barracks is almost ready for use.
It is needed with the advent of 12 hour shifts at the Patrol Branch - and should have been in place when those shits started in August. But as the officer commanding explained, everything in due time:..
ACP Elodio Aragon - Officer Commanding Eastern Division
"Presently we are renovating 10 of our rooms here at the Ralph Fonseca building behind Queen street and these rooms will be retrofitted to accommodate at least 20 officers for now. That is already in the phase as you have seen and we look to complete this by the end of this month."
Hon. John Saldivar, Minister of National Security
"It's been spearheaded by the ministry. As you all know on Friday I finally concluded my countrywide tour and throughout the tour there have been some concerns expressed by police officers about the conditions under which they are made to work and this is one step in trying to improve the conditions under which they work by providing a facility where they can rest and sleep in between shifts until they are able to their regular homes."
"The barrack room is for police officers, it is for officers especially those working the 12 hr. shift system. We know we have some of our officers who still continue to travel; we know some of our officers have issues when it comes to housing or finding proper accommodation in the city. Having these barrack rooms will assist us to accommodate these officers and it is going towards welfare and looking after our police officers. Of course we as administration will put into place specific measures that will ensure that the barrack room is kept to the standard we are handing it over to them."
Saldivar confirmed that all patrol branch officers will get three hundred dollars in backed up allowance payments this Friday.

Douarnenez and Brest mobilize With Pride for the Bermuda 1000 Race
Thread: Douarnenez and Brest mobilize With Pride for the Bermuda 1000 Race
On May 8, following the Grand Prix Guyader, eighteen loners will line up at the start of the Bermuda 1000 Race, the first of three events on the 2019 calendar of the IMOCA Globes Series. All will then leave Douarnenez Bay to reach Brest harbor via the legendary Fastnet lighthouse and a virtual mark off the Azores archipelago, with a total of 2000 miles to go. A colorful route that will reinforce, once again, the strong link that unites the territories of western Brittany and in particular the two metropolitan Finistere. Two cities that, symbolically, come together to show the passionate about the sea and sailing, how they know how to unite to build new projects .
City of three ports located in one of the most beautiful bay in the world, Douarnenez has a history intimately linked to the sea. An indisputable asset that seek to enhance the organizers of the Grand Prix Guyader on the basis of this natural setting so conducive to the practice of sailing and boating since 2000, date of the first edition. An asset that has allowed the event to establish itself as a rendezvous, opening the maritime season of the city of Penn Sardin with a proliferation of challenges all as spectacular as each other.
Among them, the Bermuda 1000 Race. "Douarnenez is particularly proud to accompany the Grand Prix since the beginning and to be one of its main partners. These strong links symbolize the nautical ambition of the City, which is reflected in the regular hosting of races and the development of its infrastructures, just like the new nautical center inaugurated last year. For its second edition, the Bermuda 1000 Race will once again take off from Douarnenez. I welcome the dedication of Gwen Chapalain and her team, as well as all the partners, to our city which, year after year, affirms its nautical dimension and its ability to host major events "says François Cadic, Mayor of Douarnenez who naturally wants the race to be a permanent part of the IMOCA class calendar, rightly convinced that the Bay of Douarnenez is a magical place. An extraordinary nautical stadium.
The port of Rosmeur in celebration
"It lends itself, in fact, especially to the nautical games of these giants of the seas. I am convinced that the show that these boats and their skippers will offer throughout their Douarneniste stay will delight sailors and thrills as much as the general public, "adds François Cadic. If the eighteen loners will enjoy a perfect setting for their departure, they will also benefit from an ideal site for their arrival.
"Brest is mobilizing today, with pride, to participate in the success of the second edition of the Bermuda 1000 Race. Our territory has a long and double history that makes this commitment to the success of this event natural. This story is made of strong links with the sea of which we write today new pages around the search for the preservation of oceans, innovation, sailing and sport ... Brest, Port of Records, shows by its commitment to welcome the arrival of the most promising names of the class IMOCA, class of excellence of the monohulls, how much our attachment to the multiple sporting dimensions of the nautisme makes sense here " explains for its part François Cuillandre, Mayor of Brest and President of Brest metropolis.
Castle marina boiling
"By the International Maritime Feasts, which have been taking place in Brest since 1992, the relationship between Brest and Douarnenez finds, by sea, a unique illustration. This Bermuda 1000 Race already gives us the desire to experience new races, new maritime sporting exploits, new opportunities for encounters between the sea, sailors, Brestoises and Brest " , adds François Cuillandre, then joined by his deputy, Fortuné Pellicano, Vice President of Brest Nautical Events.
"When the organizers of the event proposed to us to join the team, we said yes right away because we have a lot of pleasure working with interlocutors whom we know for a long time, but also because it does not There are no good races at sea that do not leave Brest or can not do it. The whole Brest Evènements Nautiques team is mobilized today to help make this 1000 Race Bermuda a success "said the Brestois who has planned to put the dishes in large to receive as it should be this remarkable fleet of 60 feet IMOCA, as the Council department Finistere, through the departmental strategy Sea and Coastal 2017 -2023 works in particular to reinforce the nautical practice for all and, at the same time, accompanies the nautical events which make radiate the excellence of the offshore race. Events including this new edition of the Bermuda 1000 Race. Sure that in Douarnenez and Brest, the party will be beautiful for all!
The first event on the IMOCA Globe Series calendar for 2019, the Bermuda 1000 Race, will set sail from Douarnenez (Brittany) at 1300 hrs local time on Wednesday 8th May. On the programme, a 2000-mile solo race course finishing in Brest, via the Fastnet and the Azores. Eighteen sailors representing six nationalities will be lining up, including a number of rookies, who will be making the most of the event to gain their first important solo experience aboard an IMOCA. Whatever their ambitions in the event, all of the competitors will be attempting to complete the race to clock up some precious miles in order to be selected for the 2020 Vendee Globe.
Few sporting events can boast that the number of entrants has tripled from one year to the next. That is however the case for the Bermuda 1000 Race, which last year attracted six IMOCAs for its maiden edition (five of which were sailed solo and one double-handed). Organised within the framework of the Douarnenez Grand Prix by the Sea to See company in collaboration with the IMOCA class, this year, the event will bring together eighteen boats, or in other words almost as many as for the last Route du Rhum. Ten of them will before that have taken part in the Pom'Potes Challenge, speed runs organised off Douarnenez from 4th to 6th May.
Among the eighteen registered for the Bermuda 1000 Race, seven sailors will be taking part in their very first IMOCA solo race, including two who will be on very good performing foilers, Sebastien Simon and Giancarlo Pedote. Three other newcomers will be setting sail on IMOCAs built for the 2008-2009 Vendee Globe: Maxime Sorel, Clement Giraud and Miranda Merron. The Belgian skipper, Denis Van Weynbergh will also be discovering his boat, which is none other than Nandor Fa's old monohull. That will also be the case for the British sailor, Pip Hare, the new owner of the legendary Superbigou.
The sailors registered for the Bermuda 1000 Race:
Fabrice Amedeo (Newrest-Art & Fenetres)
Romain Attanasio (Pure)
Alexia Barrier (4myplanet)
Yannick Bestaven (Maitre CoQ)
Arnaud Boissieres (La Mie Caline-Artipole)

Budd Boetticher's The Killer Is Loose took the psychopaths off the streets and put them in the swell suburban homes of America, which certainly chilled audiences out of their bobby socks upon its release in 1956. Made 10 years after World War II, this film presents a different type of killer – one that's more traumatized by war than he is simply mad. A sharply directed film noir, The Killer Is Loose is a strong B-picture that's required viewing for folks interested in the evolution of cinema psychos.
The Big Knife is a sensational depiction of the movie business along the lines of Sunset Boulevard. But while Nora Desmond delusionally vied to force her way back into the movie business that left her behind, The Big Knife's protagonist will do whatever it takes to be left alone by its ruthless power brokers. Based on Clifford Odets' abrasive play and directed by Richard Aldrich, The Big Knife has a lot of great things going for it, including a terrific cast and wonderfully contrasting lead character, but ultimately it's way over the top and meanders too much to really have the fatalistic impact it seems to be going for.
Might as well tear through the rest of Robert Siodmak's noirs, huh? The File on Thelma Jordon is a crime melodrama featuring a couple of Siodmak's favorite recurring motifs: the double cross and dual personalities. Starring Babraba Stanwyck as the titular character, the film also features Wendell Corey as one of the most sympathetic male leads I've seen in a noir yet.

so i'm a second generation chinese american immigrant and i wanted to brush up on my chinese Just Because and i'm trying to test out of the lower levels, but they keep marking my answers wrong when they're one unecessary word off the mark. and from the discussion, it's been many months and they still haven't fixed it?

Saturday was one of those mellow days when all you want to do is walk around and just soak in the sun, and do some people watching. It started off with a quick brunch and then a visit down to the Union Square Shopping District, where of course paying homage the Apple store is a given. Not sure how crowded it was going to be, I had some feelings of trepidation about waiting in lines for hours. Fortunately, the Black Friday rush of iPod shoppers was over. Still, the Apple store was packed to the gills. It was more like gray saturday.
Most of the shoppers, while gravitating towards the iPod section, were actually snapping up the iPod accessories. Apple iPod Earbud Headphones,Incase covers, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Which made me wonder, if any of the analysts have taken into account the "iPod accessories" in their financial forecasts.
While there, I picked up iClean Screen Cleaner, an amazingly effective way to keep your PowerBook screens smudge free and bright. I highly recommend that everyone should buy this one. Having given my "bakshish" to Steve Jobs, the next stop, just for comparison sake, was an old school record store, Virgin.
The trip to the Virgin MegaStore, might have cost me more, but I was reintroduced to the joys of "CD packaging" and "liner notes." I wonder when the record industry will realize that to bring back the buyers, they need to start selling DVDs with music, videos and documentaries. If they don't well, Video iPod and the iTunes store are already here, and could be enhancing their offerings soon.
I am amazed that how broadband has jostled the incumbents out of their slumber. Gary Price writes on this new service from AOL , that allows (for now) Windows users to download High-Quality videos direct to their hard drives in the background when the system is idle. For now you can get "movie previews, celebrity interviews, music videos …. but I would be willing to bet will see much more content delivered using this approach in the future." Akimbo goes to Main Street?
Well, this is it for the second edition of my daily journal, but keep those comments coming, and give me your thoughts on if you want me to continue with this new format.
Thanks Havagan. I think this is the potential upside in Apple's earnings people don't talk about much these days. anyway I think it makes most sense… after all we all wanna pimp out our cards, pcs, and well why not iPods.
I'll forward a link on to my good friend who handles iPod accessories for Apple although he may know of it already. I think he actively monitors the blogosphere because he knew of some earlier items I had snipped for him.
vinyl is just a luxury i cannot afford. hopefully, the mp3 is the future and we can get more selections in the digital format.
iclean is pretty rad for screens but also a nice way to keep those shiney powerbook keys sparkling.
as far as buying music goes for me its either vinyl or mp3s. cds scratch, the artwork is too small, reading lyrics is a drag, and most cd only stores are so bare and hospital like.
ONe of the best blogs and informative one. keep it up.

Lebanon begins all-day curfew as virus spins out of control – The Associated Press
Uncategorized / By fiascojob
BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanese authorities began enforcing an 11-day nationwide shutdown and round the clock curfew Thursday, hoping to limit the spread of coronavirus infections spinning out of control after the holiday period.
For the first time, residents were required to request a one-hour permit to be allowed to leave the house for "emergencies," including going to the bakery, pharmacist, doctor, hospital or airport.
Authorities came under pressure to take a tougher approach after the country's hospitals ran out of beds with daily infections reaching an all-time high of 5,440 cases last week in the country of nearly 6 million people.
The dramatic surge in infections began in late December. As most governments around the world tightened lockdowns, Lebanon relaxed health measures over the holidays, allowing restaurants and nightclubs to reopen with barely any restrictions in place. An estimated 80,000 expats flowed back into the country to celebrate Christmas and New Years with loved ones, many of them expats who skipped visiting in the summer due to the devastating Aug. 4 explosion at Beirut port.
"The holiday season should have been the time for lockdown. The season of crowds, shopping and parties," said Hanna Azar, owner of a money transfer and telephones shop. "They opened it to allow dollars into the country and now they want to close, especially in this economic crisis. People don't have money to eat."
Even before the coronavirus, Lebanon was going through an unprecedented economic and financial crisis that has seen its national currency and bank sector collapse and locked depositors out of the savings. Hospitals, long considered among the best in the Middle East, struggled to pay staff, keep equipment running and secure necessary medical supplies as dollars grew scarce.
Amid the surge, many hospitals have now reached maximum capacity for coronavirus patients. Some have halted elective surgeries as they run out of beds, oxygen tanks and ventilators.
Furthermore, the country has been without a government since the old one resigned in the wake of the catastrophic Aug. 4 explosion at Beirut port, which put a further strain on hospitals, inundating them with injured. At least three hospitals were destroyed.
The massive explosion caused by the detonation of a stockpile of poorly stored ammonium nitrate ravaged the city, killing over 200 people and injuring thousands.
On Thursday, police manned checkpoints around the country, checking motorists' permits to be on the road and creating traffic jams in some cases. The curfew is the strictest since the start of the pandemic. For the first time, even supermarkets were told to close their doors and open for delivery only. That decision triggered three days of chaotic panic buying as worried citizens emptied shelves at supermarkets and grocery stores.
Lebanon had only just announced a nationwide lockdown last week. But many, including the health minister and officials on a government committee, considered it to be too lenient because it exempted many sectors. In some areas of the country, it was business as usual, leading to more calls for a complete shutdown and curfew.

Creating a realistic world(s) map - planetary systems
Once the geography of the world is designed, it needs a planetary system to inhabit. But how should that solar system look? The only constraint is that the system needs the new world to be placed in a habitable zone for the suspiciously Earth-like creatures that evolved there. By placed, I only mean it's made up, the system needs to have naturally formed in all respects.
The naive solution would be to make it like our planetary system, the Solar System.
That is, arrange it so that the planets orbit the same direction in the ecliptic plane, there are some rocky planets close to the star followed by an asteroid belt and some gas giants, like this: SRRHRAGGG (incidentally, this is the sound the planetary system will make when it dies)
S- Star
R- Rocky Planet
H- Habitable Planet/Moon
A- Asteroid Belt
G- Gas Giant
Is this the most likely arrangement, RxAxGx (rocky planet[s], asteroid belt[s], gas giant[s])? Can a massive gas giant be orbiting near the star out of the ecliptic plane? Can the habitable world be alone with some comets and asteroids?
The main question:
What is the range of planetary configurations I can reasonably expect from a habitable system?
I'm interested in the ordering of planets (mass and type), the planet mass to star ratio, number of planets, orbital direction of planets (as in agreement between planets), ecliptic plane confinement, and the reasonable range of these aspects. Reasonable meaning very precisely "not, like, super rare among habitable systems".
The system must contain a planet which has evolved Earth-like life.
The system must have been formed by natural processes.
Magic, science fiction, and anecdotes need not apply, this is hard-science. We don't know much about other systems, let alone explicitly habitable systems, so inductive reasoning is allowed (if not required) but peer-reviewed papers should support any evidence used in that process.
This is related to a series of questions that tries to break down the process of creating a world from initial creation of the landmass through to erosion, weather patterns, biomes and every other related topics. Please restrict answers to this specific topic rather than branching on into other areas as other subjects will be covered by other questions.

$\begingroup$ @user6760 The planet is habitable and has evolved Earth-like life. Select answers to your questions appropriately. If the answer leads to "does not support the evolution of Earth-like life" then it's the wrong answer. $\endgroup$ – Samuel Jul 28 '15 at 22:58
$\begingroup$ @Samuel, the string 'RxAxGx' reminded me of notation I've seen in relation to context free grammar used to define programming languages. A CRG to define solar systems would be incredibly cool. $\endgroup$ – Green Jul 28 '15 at 23:01
Ordering of planets (mass and type)
Can I start out by jokingly complaining that you picked a rather complex system? We've found a lot of exoplanets, but there are not many that reside in complex systems like this. This is going to be a tough question. As Green predicted, Kepler data is useful here - Fang & Margo (2012) found that
75%–80% of planetary systems have one or two planets with orbital periods less than 200 days
They also were able to plot data from a variety of parameters to come up with some graphs that could be used to make distribution curves. You can extrapolate from that, if you wish.
Anyway, I'm off track here. Mass distributions were covered in Mazeh et al. (1998) (which is almost certainly outdated, but a good analysis nonetheless) and Malhotra (2015). Using some orbital spacing parameters (which you can adjust, if you want), Malhotra found that the peak value of $\log m/M_{\oplus}$ occurs at about 0.6-1.0, with a standard deviation of 1.1-1.2. Not the greatest accuracy, but still pretty good.
Llambay et al. (2011) were able to come up with a mass-period distribution for exoplanets close to the star, which you can then use to come up with a decent distribution of masses at a given radius:
Most smaller planets have orbital periods longer than P~2.5 days, while higher masses are found down to P~1 day.
In short, more massive planets are closer in, while less massive planets are further out. Still, Llambay et al. only considered planets extremely close to their parent stars. For the rest of the system (i.e. planets farther out), I refer you to Jiang et al. (2007). I can't copy the mass- and period- histograms they gave (relating each one to the total number observed), nor can I copy the scatter plots, but they are incredibly helpful, especially as they considered a sample size of 233 exoplanets.
This graph, complied on Wikipedia from the Open Exoplanet Catalogue, is also helpful for an at-a-glance reference:
Image in the public domain.
Something you must consider is planetary migration. I've written several answers on it across Stack Exchange (e.g. The Solar System Explosion in the Nice Model, Did Jupiter really make Earth (in)habitable, What gravitational impact would moving Jupiter to the inner solar system have on the outer?, etc. - the first focused on only one part, because Kyle Oman was already familiar with the it, hence the question), and others have written excellent answers elsewhere on Stack Exchange. By now, I'm sick and tired of typing the same thing up, so I refer you to the latter two posts I gave, as a starter. You need to include planetary migration because it will severely impact the orbits of the three gas giants in the system. Be careful that you have enough - my answer on Physics discusses just why a certain number is needed.
Planet mass to star ratio
No such ratio exists. You can have pretty much any (reasonable) combination you want. It all depends on the giant molecular cloud from which the star formed and the evolution of the protoplanetary disk. Anything can happen.
Number of planets
Fang & Margot are, once again, helpful. Weissbein et al. are also an excellent resource for this specific part. I once again wish I could figure out directly how to copy graphs and histogram without using imgur - I may use that later - but I can get around that. Unfortunately, they make three assumptions:
All planets in a system are exactly aligned
All of the stars and planets are identical
The Occupancy distribution of a planet existing at a given distance from its stellar host, f(r), is the same for all the stars which are capable of producing planets and is given by equation (1).
The third is not a problem, but the first two are (see my section on ecliptic plane confinement for a discussion on the first). Luckily, as I show later, that criterion can easily be met. The second one is the problem.
Anyway, Weissbein et al. find the probability, $P$, that a star hosts $m$ planets to be $$P(m)=\int_0^{\infty}\left[\frac{F(r)^m}{r^2m!}e^{-F(r)}\right]dr$$ where $r$ is radius and $$F(r)\equiv \int_0^r f(r')dr'$$ where $f(r')$ is a modified form of the general occupation probability function.
They then used this to create a table of the results, which I will not include at the moment, as I am not good with tables in Stack Exchange. However, predictably, the number of systems went down as the number of planets increased.
Ecliptic plane confinement
"Ecliptic plane confinement" can be discussed in terms of orbital inclination, generally denoted by $i$. In the case of most systems, this is close to zero degrees for most of the bodies involved (although Pluto has a high inclination).
The planets in the Solar System orbit in one plane, because everything formed out of a protoplanetary disk. The planets tend to stay that way because of a conservation of angular momentum. This can change in some cases - notably, Kepler-452b has a high angle of inclination (90 degrees!). As I wrote in my answer there, this may have happened for several reasons:
The star's rotation axis was perturbed, just as Uranus's rotation axis was perturbed (although by different objects)
The planet was perturbed by another object, either in the system (e.g. a planetoid) or a companion star. The Sun was formed with many other stars in a cluster; this happens for many stars.
The relevant papers on this subject are Crida & Batygin (2014) and Xue et al. (2014). There are other reasons for the change in orbital inclination of one planet, notably the Lidov-Kozai mechanism (see Lidov (1962) and Kozai (1962)). The Lidov-Kozai mechanism basically states that the eccentricity of an object's orbit can be changed by interactions with another (more massive) object, which also changes the orbital eccentricity of the first object. The angular momentum in the $z$-axis must be conserved here; it is the quantity $$L_z=\sqrt{1-e^2}\cos i$$ You can play around with this a bit to see what happens when different parameters are changed (you should be able to apply the orbital formulas given here). However, the model assumes that the perturber is much more massive than the perturbed object (Kozai's original analysis applied to perturbations of asteroids by Jupiter!). For larger bodies being perturbed, you would need a larger perturber. This makes it very difficult for planets. This could happen in a binary system where one star is more massive than another star, and the second star perturbs a planet moving around the larger star. It is, however, unlikely, and does not fit your model of one star.
It makes sense that either most or the orbits have high orbital inclinations - a result of a perturbation of the star's rotation axis or the protoplanetary disk - or low orbital inclinations. The Lidov-Kozai mechanism is not good for large systems. It is also important to note that it is periodic in nature. Once again quoting Fang & Margot,
In addition, over 85% of planets have orbital inclinations less than 3◦ (relative to a common reference plane).
They used a Rayleigh distribution to describe this: $$P(k)=\frac{k}{\sigma^2}e^{-k^2/\sigma^2}$$ where $\sigma$ is the parameter that determines the distribution of $k$. Notice the difference between a Rayleigh distribution and a normal distribution. An distribution for orbital eccentricity can be found in Kane et al. (2012).
Bringing it all together.
There's the raw information that we need. Here's the synthesis.
Is this the most likely arrangement, RxAxGx?
Well, it's unlikely for that many planets to form around a star, so technically, no. Three gas giants implies orbital migration, which could push them outwards, as in our Solar System, but be prepared to have a fourth be in there at the beginning, as some variants of the Nice Model require (the "5th gas giant").
Can a massive gas giant be orbiting near the star out of the ecliptic plane?
I stated earlier that the perturber generally needs to be more massive than the perturbed object, in classical models of the Kozai effect. This means that such an arrangement is unlikely to happen. A gas giant could be close to the star, sure, but not out of the ecliptic, if it was with a system of other planets that stayed in the ecliptic.
Can the habitable would be alone with some comets and asteroids?
Asteroids? Sure. Well, the habitable could not be in the asteroid belt, because then it would not have cleared its orbit and would be prone to collisions, which would quickly make the planet not so habitable!
The arrangement, on the whole, could happen.
HDE 226868♦HDE 226868
$\begingroup$ Very nice work. I am impressed. Some notes: 1) From a desktop you can snip images from PDFs and upload them here. 2) The system doesn't need to have only one star, it just needs to be habitable. 3) The 'RxAxGx' notation was meant to demonstrate rocky planet(s), asteroid belt(s), and gas giant(s) not necessarily one of each. I'll make that more clear. $\endgroup$ – Samuel Jul 28 '15 at 22:28
$\begingroup$ @Samuel Thanks for #1, I didn't know that. #2 is very helpful. I understood #3, by the way, that didn't affect my answer. $\endgroup$ – HDE 226868♦ Jul 28 '15 at 22:30
$\begingroup$ I had developed my own empirical suite of formula to calculate this stuff for me. But I wrote mine before Kepler started returning data. I'm going to use your answer to reprogram my own algorithms. I know this board frowns on "thanks" but "Thanks!" (also +1 for question and answer). $\endgroup$ – Jim2B Aug 5 '15 at 17:35
$\begingroup$ @Jim2B Cool, thanks! Let me know how it goes. $\endgroup$ – HDE 226868♦ Aug 5 '15 at 17:39
$\begingroup$ One thing I would like to see is that Kepler and other planet search programs favors spotting large planets over small planets and short period planets over long period planets. Somewhere there should be a statistical treatment of this applied backwards to give us an idea of what the over all population of planets should look like based upon what we've seen so far. But I haven't seen any and I don't have the statistical background to do this for myself. :( $\endgroup$ – Jim2B Aug 6 '15 at 1:09
Rocky/Gas Configurations
Anything is possible but it is no coincidence that the solar system has its most dense planets at orbits closest to the sun and gas giants a lot further out. The greater temperatures and solar wind pressures nearer the star will be pushing lighter elements away more easily from inner orbits when the star's reactor fires up.
To quote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formation_and_evolution_of_the_Solar_System:
The inner Solar System, the region of the Solar System inside 4 AU, was too warm for volatile molecules like water and methane to condense, so the planetesimals that formed there could only form from compounds with high melting points, such as metals (like iron, nickel, and aluminium) and rocky silicates.
Heavy rocky planets nearer the star and gas giants further away are probably the most likely configuration with only peculiar formation events changing that.
Independent rocky planets in the zone of the gas giants don't exist in our solar system but rocky moons of those gas giants do. So, rocky things can and do exist at any distance but gas giants tend to be further away and capture or destroy anything in their path.
That gas giants don't exist beyond a certain point is probably simply a matter of the solar nebula being too thin after certain distances.
Binary to trinary systems could perhaps produce different situations. If Jupiter had been big enough to be a red dwarf then we would have a complex binary system: Still probably with rocky planets between the two stars but perhaps an even larger rocky system orbiting Jupiter. However, we expect multiple-star systems to be generally less conducive to stable orbits as close as the habitable zone.
Orbital Planes and Directions
All planets formed within the system will be orbiting in the same plane and in the same direction: they will be constructed in that orbit from the same rotating primordial mass.
However, collisions or gravitational interactions with a extra-stellar objects could feasibly knock a planet into a slightly different plane of orbit. It would have to be from an extra-stellar object, everything else has the same angular velocity vectors so collisions between system bodies just knock things into different motions in the same plane.
A solar system that moved too close to a particularly massive neighbor could end up with planets in orbital planes that slope and become more elliptical the further out they are. That is far more likely than a rogue extra-stellar planet crashing into one of the planets and producing a new planet orbiting in a different plane and/or direction.
Captured Planets
Capturing an object in orbit is extremely unlikely: they tend to follow parabolic or hyperbolic paths and leave the encounter with the same kinetic energy they arrived. Only collisions during the process can change that and they are highly unlikely to happen let alone happen in just the right way to cause the visitor to start orbiting.
However, it is possible: Neptune captured Triton (we know this because Triton orbits the opposite way to Neptune's rotation) so an extra-stellar planet could be captured and that could happen in any plane or any direction. It had to involve a collision so the result could be another planet also orbiting in a peculiar plane and direction.
The Star(s) Itself
Blue giants and super giants (O and B class) are almost certainly to be ruled out: they are too short lived.
Other giants are also likely to be ruled out as they tend to be dying stars: the habitable zone will have moved and that causes problems for evolution. Their lives as giants also tend to be short.
But anything else except dead stars (White Dwarfs, Neutron Stars and Black Holes) is feasible.
Only nice orange, yellow or white main sequence stars seem likely to produce habitable zones that are stable for long enough for life to evolve:
We live in one of hundreds of billions of galaxies each with hundreds of billions of stars. I expect every imaginable configuration exists at least around one of those stars.

$\begingroup$ "The greater temperatures and solar wind pressures nearer the star will be pushing lighter elements away more easily from inner orbits when the star's reactor fires up." - That's not why the gas giants in the Solar System are farther away. Consider Hot Jupiters. They don't fit in with that model, yet they're quite common. There are other inaccuracies: "That gas giants don't exist beyond a certain point is probably simply a matter of the solar nebula being too thin after certain distances." - Citation, please, and that claim is unlikely, because it's based off of a sample size of one. $\endgroup$ – HDE 226868♦ Jul 28 '15 at 21:57
$\begingroup$ @HDE226868 Hot Jupiters (and gas giants in general) may just appear to be quite common because they are the easiest to spot (the first to be detected in fact) because of their size and short orbital periods. Whether they are actually quite common is not established (it depends what you mean by common) but yes, you are right: they are certainly a possibility in formation scenarios different to our own. $\endgroup$ – Avon Jul 28 '15 at 22:29

Massachusetts State Lottery winner: Man wins $1 million after Salem store clerk hands him wrong ticket
Published: Aug. 03, 2022, 9:31 a.m.
Marcus Miller, of Hudson, New Hampshire, won a $1 million lottery prize from a ticket purchased in Salem, Massachusetts. He said he intended to buy a $10 ticket, but was handed a $5 ticket instead. Deciding to keep it, he ultimately won a top prize. (Massachusetts State Lottery).

A New Hampshire man never intended to buy the lottery ticket that ultimately won him a $1 million prize.
Marcus Miller, of Hudson, had hoped to buy a $10 lottery ticket at Tropicana Market in Salem, Massachusetts. When the store clerk mistakenly instead handed him a $5 ticket, he decided to keep it, he told state lottery officials.
Miller's decision last Thursday paid off. His $5 ticket in the Massachusetts State Lottery's "$1,000,000 Royal Gold" game resulted in a top prize of $1 million.
According to the state lottery, the New Hampshire man chose to receive a one-time cash payment of $650,000.

Striped Dracaena is an evergreen shrub that averages 5 to 8 feet in height with a spread of 3 to 4 feet, but these sizes can be highly variable depending on environment and maintenance. It is upright in growth habit with vertically oriented cane-like stems. It has a slow to moderate growth rate.
Leaves are evergreen, stiff, strap-shaped, an average of 8 to 12 inches long, spiral in arrangement, and are green with gray stripes and with a narrow white stripe through the center of the leaf. It has parallel veins and undulate margins.
The small yellowish/white flowers are mostly inconspicuous. It blooms in the summer, but the blooms are not often seen.
Fruit are small, round, reddish orange berries.
It prefers partial shade or bright, indirect light when used indoors. It will tolerate lower light situations indoors. It suffers leaf burn with too much sun.
It will grow on a variety of moist, well-drained soils, preferring a pH range of 6.0 to 6.5. It will occasionally exhibit iron deficiency in soils with a pH above 7.0. It will sometimes suffer from fluoride toxicity in soils with a pH below 5.5, especially if fertilizers are used that contain fluoride compounds.
It has moderate drought tolerance once established, so some water is needed for survival in dry spells. It will do much better with even, consistent moisture.
If branching is desired, pruning is required as the natural growth is multiple unbranched stems.
It has no special fertilizer needs. Unless a soil test suggests otherwise, a balanced analysis fertilizer applied per the product label will work. Be careful of fertilizers that may have a high fluoride content – it has a tendency to suffer from high fluoride toxicity.
California Poison Control lists Dracaena deremensis as non-toxic.
Wisconsin Poison Center lists Dracaena as generally non-toxic, but toxic to cats.
The Cat Fanciers Association lists Striped Dracaena as toxic to cats.
Merck Vet Manual lists Draceana spp. as toxic with Alkaloids, saponins, and resin found in leaves.

Supreme Court • Video
What Supreme Court cases to watch for this session
We are seeing unprecedented attacks on the independence of the judiciary. It starts with the Democratic presidential candidates who are pushing court-packing plans. We also see current senators like Senator Whitehouse who filed a friend-of-the-court brief arguing that the court should be restructured if the court doesn't find its decisions in accordance to what Sen. Whitehouse would like. We're also seeing attacks by the media such as those on Justice Kavanagh a couple of weeks ago by the New York Times, who ended up having to correct the reporting they had done.
All of these show how critical this term, which starts today, will be. Top legal questions that the entire nation is watching. I was on Fox News to discuss important cases coming up before the Supreme Court.

Brady Obligations, Criminal Sanctions, and Solutions in a New Era of Scrutiny
By Smith, Andrew
Six days after terrorist attacks shook New York City and Washington, D.C., the FBI raided an apartment complex in a suburb of Detroit and apprehended three North African men.1 Among the men's possessions were hand-drawn sketches potentially detailing targets for terrorist attacks abroad. Four men2 were charged with providing material support for terrorism and document fraud and were brought to trial two years later.3 Richard Convertino, an assistant United States attorney with a strong track record in the DOJ, was tapped to prosecute the case and won convictions against three of the four defendants.4 Attorney General John Ashcroft personally and publicly lauded the importance of the case and proclaimed the convictions victories in the war on terror.5
Allegations soon arose, however, that Convertino and a "regional security officer" concealed photographs of one of the alleged targets from the defense at trial.6 The defense claimed that these photographs would have shown that the sketches were benign and not "terrorist casing sketches" as the prosecution had asserted at trial.7 Convertino vigorously denied any wrongdoing, but an investigation revealed that he may have received an email containing the photographs at issue. Amid a maelstrom of controversy and allegations of political reprisal, Convertino was charged and indicted for conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and making false declarations.8 This may have been the first time a U.S. attorney faced prosecution for failing to adhere to his prosecutorial duty to disclose exculpatory evidence. That distinction was of little solace to Convertino as he awaited his fate at trial, facing the very real possibility of years behind bars.9
At almost the same time in Durham, North Carolina, an exotic dancer accused three athletes at Duke University of raping her at an off-campus party where she had been hired to perform.10 The county's district attorney, Mike Nifong-facing reelection11 and a volatile electorate-immediately took the reigns of the case, speaking to the media freely and exalting the strength of the impending prosecution.12 As the prosecution moved forward, it became apparent that the evidence in the case was less than convincing. Nifong subsequently withheld the results of a DNA test, witness statements, and other evidence that cast significant doubt on the guilt of the three accused.13 Against an onslaught of criticism, Nifong remained recalcitrant, refusing to abandon the prosecution, and instead asked the state attorney general's office to take control of the case.14 The North Carolina Attorney General soon dismissed all charges against the students, proclaimed their innocence, and cited numerous prosecutorial improprieties.15
Admittedly, prosecutorial behavior in these two cases was extreme, but each example gives rise to significant questions about our system of criminal justice. When a prosecutor misbehaves, what outcome is just? Should a factually guilty defendant escape punishment because of a prosecutor's error? Who really suffers in these situations? How should prosecutors pay for their misdeeds? Convertino endured a full-blown jury trial and could have spent years behind bars if convicted, while Nifong lost his license to practice law and spent just one night in jail.16 Which outcome is fair?
The two cases also illustrate that prosecutors can wield an incredible amount of control over the civil liberties of their fellow citizens by withholding evidence. When abuses of this nature occur, repercussions are few and inconsistent. This Note examines the federal and state remedies currently employed to combat prosecutorial failure to disclose evidence. An examination of these remedies reveals a frustrating system; disclosure violations continue to occur at high rates at both the federal and state levels,17 while individual prosecutors rarely face repercussions for these violations. This Note makes two primary recommendations for decreasing the incidence of disclosure violations. …
