Q: How to automatically add lookup field based on request? I have UserViewSet with based on viewsets.ModelViewSet.
It is attached to url /users/.
I want to create /user/ url with GET and PATCH methods.
How to link /user/ to UserViewSet, so when doing GET or PATCH methods it automatically linked to /users/request.user.id/
views.py
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet)):
    queryset = User.objects.all()
    serializer_class = UserSerializer
    permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated,)
    ...

urls.py
router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'users', UserViewSet, basename='users')
???
urlpatterns = router.urls

A: for this you can use require_GET or require_http_method
from django.views.decorators.http import require_GET

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^users/$', UserViewSet.as_view()),
    url(r'^user/(?P<id>\d+)/$', require_GET(UserViewSet.as_view())),
]

for more methods, a require_http_method decorator which receives allowed methods in its parameters, e.g.:
  url(r'^user/(?P<model_id>\d+)/$', require_http_method(['GET', 'DELETE'])(UserViewSet.as_view()))

Die katholische Pfarrkirche St. Nikolaus ist ein ortsbildprägendes Kirchengebäude in Markdorf im baden-württembergischen  Bodenseekreis. Die Kirchgemeinde gehört zur Seelsorgeeinheit Markdorf im Dekanat Linzgau der Erzdiözese Freiburg. Die Kirche war im September 2011 "Kirche des Monats" der Diözese.

Geschichte und Architektur

Im Mittelschiff sind steinerne Fundamente einer rechteckigen Saalkirche aus karolingischer Zeit erhalten. Sie war eine Eigenkirche der Freiherren von Markdorf und wurde im 11. Jahrhundert um den Chor erweitert. Wahrscheinlich gab es eine Vorgängerkirche aus Holz. Der untere Teil des 68 Meter hohen Turmes stammt aus der Zeit um 1200. Er war früher ein Teil der Stadtbefestigung und diente wohl als Wehrturm. Auf der Rückseite ist in einigen Metern Höhe ein über angelegte Leitern begehbarer Einstieg. Auf dem unteren Teil wurde 1966 der heutige Turm errichtet. Nach 1200 wurde eine Kirche im romanischen Stil errichtet; sie war etwa so groß wie das heutige Mittelschiff und besaß einen an den Turm angelehnten Chor. Als erster Leutpriester ist für 1200 Rudolf Plebanus belegt.

Die heutige Kirche entstand im Wesentlichen im letzten Drittel des 14. Jahrhunderts als gotisches Gebäude mit drei Schiffen. Der Chor wurde über einem polygonalen Grundriss angelegt. Bauherren waren Konrad von Homburg als Stadtherr und seine Frau Ursula von Markdorf. In diese Zeit fällt auch die Gründung des Kollegiatstiftes mit fünf Chorherren. Der Custos fungierte gleichzeitig als Pfarrherr. Die Reformation um 1525 konnte sich nicht durchsetzen. Bei der Markdorfer Synode 1549 wurde die kirchliche und diözesane Ordnung wiederhergestellt. Die einflussreiche Familie Weißhaupt ließ 1610 eine Privatkapelle an die Kirche anfügen und sorgte für eine reiche Ausstattung. Heute bildet der frühere Eingang die Nische für den Sebastiansaltar. Bei einem Brand im Jahr 1842, der die gesamte Oberstadt vernichtete, wurde der Bau stark beschädigt. Bei dem Brand des Turmes schmolzen neun Glocken, und die Innenräume waren nicht mehr benutzbar. Danach wurde der Bau in seiner heutigen baulichen Form wieder aufgebaut. Dabei wurden die ehemals kleineren Lichtgaden erhöht.

Das dreischiffige Langhaus ist im Stil einer Pfeilerbasilika ausgeführt. Die polygonalen Säulen wirken schlank und stehen auf Basen, die mit Kehle und Wulst verziert sind. Sie gehen ohne Kapitelle in die spitzbogigen Arkaden über. Die flachen Kassettendecken im Mittelschiff und den seitlichen Schiffen stammen aus neuerer Zeit. Die Fresken an der östlichen Wand im südlichen Seitenschiff stammen aus der Zeit um 1400. Sie zeigen Szenen aus der Leidensgeschichte und die Auferstehung Christi. Im östlichen Seitenschiff ist ein Fragment aus der freudenreichen Darstellung erhalten. Der Chor endet im 5/8 Schluss, seine Strebepfeiler zeigen eine starke Eckquaderung. Die Wände sind durch hohe dreiteilige Maßwerkfenster gegliedert. Das Rippengewölbe ist einfach gestaltet, es ruht auf Konsolen, die mit Blattwerk und Fratzen geschmückt sind. Die Schlusssteine im Scheitel des Gewölbes sind mit einer Mondsichelmadonna und einem Christuskopf geschmückt. Die neugotische Ausmalung erhielt der Innenraum 1870. 1955 bekam der Innenraum eine nüchterne Fassung und 1980 die jetzige.

Die Fenster hinter dem Hochaltar sind stilistisch fein abgestimmt. Sie wurden von Horst Beck aus Überlingen entworfen und von der Kunstglaserei Nikolaus Diering aus Überlingen angefertigt und 1967 eingebaut. Die übrigen Kirchenfenster wurden 1980 erneuert, dabei wurde der Stil der vorherigen beibehalten. Zum Chor hin steigern sie sich in Bezug auf Farbigkeit und Struktur.

Grabmale

Die Epitaphien zu beiden Seiten des Haupteinganges sind in die Wände eingemauert; sie erinnern an bedeutende Pfarrer und Bürger der Stadt.
 Das Epitaph aus Bronze wurde 1522 für Johannes Brandlin gegossen, er war ein Rat des Kirchenrechtes.
 Das Denkmal des Dekans und Stadtpfarrers Johannes Georg Spengler wurde 1736 angefertigt; es befindet sich rechts neben dem spitzbogigen Haupteingang.
 Die Gedenktafel für den Custos und Stadtpfarrer Franz Johann Rebmann ist an der Außenseite des rechten Strebepfeilers zu sehen. Rebmann ist als Verehrer der Schutzmantelmadonna dargestellt.
 Die Gedenktafel für Johann Claudius Merlet lobt dessen Verdienste in Krieg und Frieden. Die Tafel mit dem Sterbedatum 1732 wurde an der Außenseite des rechten Strebepfeilers angebracht.
 Der Präfekt und Kammerrat Johann Nepomuk Puzorini starb 1761, sein Grabdenkmal befindet sich an der Innenseite des rechten Pfeilers.
 Das Epitaph für Ursula Habitzel ist an der südwestlichen Ecke des linken Seitenschiffes erhalten. Sie starb 1558 und war wohl die Mutter der Äbte von Kloster Weißenau und der Abtei Weingarten.

Schutzmantelkapelle

Der Bürgermeister und der Rat von Markdorf gründeten 1450 eine Schutzmantelbruderschaft und bauten bis 1470 für die Schutzmantelmadonna eine Bruderschaftskirche. Die beiden gotischen Altäre schuf Hans Rueland aus Wangen. Die Bruderschaft blühte bis zum Dreißigjährigen Krieg auf, verlor allerdings bei Pestepidemien im 17. Jahrhundert bis auf einen Geistlichen alle Chorherren und Kapläne. Die Bruderschaftskirche wurde 1658 zu einem Kapuzinerkloster umgebaut. Die Bürgerschaft errichtete 1660, als Ersatz für die Bruderschaftskirche, die Schutzmantelkapelle, in der die Schutzmantelmuttergottes ihren Platz fand, an der Pfarrkirche. Das Gnadenbild verblieb bis 1818 in der Kapuzinerkirche. Die Stuckausstattung stellten 1770 die Gebrüder Schmuzer her. Von 1974 bis 1975 wurde die Kapelle umfangreich erneuert und nach alten Unterlagen möglichst in ihren ursprünglichen Zustand versetzt.

Die Schutzmantelmadonna, eine der bekanntesten ihrer Art, schnitzte Johann Rueland 1474, sie steht im Zentrum der Kapelle. Maria wird im Typus einer Frau, die schützt und hegt, dargestellt. Unter dem weit geöffneten Umhang suchen viele Personen, die relativ klein dargestellt sind, Schutz. Das Jesuskind sitzt auf dem rechten Unterarm der Maria. Sie wirkt in ihrer körperlichen Schönheit zart und gleichzeitig würdevoll. Die Hände sind fein ausgearbeitet, der Mund in dem schönen Gesicht lächelt.

Ausstattung

 Der Hochaltar wurde in der Zeit um 1870 aufgestellt. Der den Kirchenraum beherrschende Altar ist eine Arbeit des Karl Reihing aus Tettnang. Nikolaus Geiger aus München schuf 1871 die zentrale Figurengruppe mit der Darstellung der Geburt Jesu.
 Der Heilige Gebhard ist als Bischof dargestellt, ursprünglich war die Darstellung eine Begleitfigur des Bruderschaftaltares, der für die Schutzmantelmadonna angefertigt wurde.
 In die Südwand des Chores ist der Tabernakel aus Eisen eingelassen, die zwölf Verriegelungen sind von 1717. Die Kunstschmiedearbeit gilt als herausragend.
 Die um 1740 entstandene Figur des Kirchenpatrons Nikolaus steht an der Westwand. Daneben steht eine Figur des Antonius Einsiedler aus dem 16. Jahrhundert.
 Die mittlere Figur der Dreiergruppe an der Nordwand ist eine auffallend schöne Madonna. Der Meister der Schweinhauser Madonna schnitzte sie um 1480. Sie wird von den Figuren der Heiligen Katharina und Margaretha aus dem 16. Jahrhundert begleitet. Die Attribute der Heiligen wurden in neuerer Zeit ersetzt.
 Die Figur des Sebastian auf dem Sebastiansaltar stammt aus der zweiten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts und wird der Werkstatt Zürn zugeschrieben.
 Die Reliquientafeln aus der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts sind in Rocaille gerahmt, sie flankieren die Seitenaltäre.
 Die Silberleuchter im Stile des Barock fertigte eine Goldschmiedewerkstatt aus Augsburg im ersten Drittel des 18. Jahrhunderts an.
 Der Taufstein steht in einer Nische. Der untere Teil ist zum Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts entstanden, der Deckel ist aus dem 18. Jahrhundert.
 David Zürn schuf vermutlich die Marienfigur aus Sandstein, sie steht über dem südlichen Portal. Pfarrer Johannes Borngartner stiftete sie 1802 für die Bildbachkirche.
 Der Kreuzweg besteht aus vierzehn Stationen. Bei den Bildern, die an beiden Wänden der Seitenschiffe hängen, handelt es sich um Kopien. Die Originale malte Baron Leis aus den Niederlanden für den Dom in Antwerpen im 19. Jahrhundert.
 Der Zelebrationsaltar wurde von dem Bildhauer Josef Henger aus Kalkstein gehauen.
 Josef Henger fertigte auch die Wangen der Chorstühle, die Ambonen, die Kredenz, die Sedilien, die Türgriffe mit integrierten Weihwasserschalen, den Osterleuchter und die Nikolausfigur, die am Ende der Kirchenmauer steht.
 Die Kreuzigungsgruppe über dem Chorbogen stiftete 1727 die Familie Don. Maria und Johannes stehen als Begleitfiguren neben dem Kreuz.
 In den Nischen der Schutzmantelkapelle stehen zwei Muttergottespuppen mit menschlichem Haar. Diese Puppen dienten als Wallfahrtsbilder, sie entstanden in der Zeit der Gotik und wurden barock umgestaltet. Die linke der beiden Puppen stellt Maria als Königin aller Heiligen dar, sie wurde im 13. Jahrhundert angefertigt und stand früher in der Allerheiligenkapelle auf dem Gehrenberg. Es handelt sich hier um eine der ältesten Mariendarstellungen im Bodenseeraum.
 Die Beichtstühle im Stile des Empire sind in die Nord- und Südwand eingelassen. Hinter der Front befindet sich eine moderne Ausstattung.
 Die Büsten der Heiligen Joachim und Anna stehen am Altar auf Rocaillesockeln. Ebenso wie die Figuren des Casimir und Emmerich von Dominikus wurden sie von Hermengild Herberger im 18. Jahrhundert geschaffen.
 Über den Pfeilern und den Spitzbögen im Mittelschiff stehen überlebensgroße Apostelfiguren mit einem schwungvollen Gestus. Ihre Größe ist dem Raum nicht angemessen. Sie stammen aus der Pfarrkirche in Altdorf bei Weingarten, die während der Säkularisation abgebrochen wurde. Joachim Früholz aus Weingarten schnitzte die Figuren in der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts.

Orgel

Die Orgel wurde 1997 von der Firma Karl Göckel eingebaut. Das Schleifladen-Instrument hat 46 Register auf drei Manualwerken und Pedal. Die Spiel- und Registertrakturen sind mechanisch.

 Koppeln: II/I, III/I (auch als Suboktavkoppel), III/II, I/P, II/P, III/P
 Anmerkungen:

Glocken
Die Glockengießerei Rosenlächer lieferte 1842 neue Glocken. Diese mussten 1942 während des Zweiten Weltkrieges für kriegswichtige Zwecke abgeliefert werden; dazu wurden sie auf dem Turm zerschlagen.
Ein Industrieller stiftete 1949 sechs neue Glocken. Diese wurden ersetzt durch sieben Glocken, die 1966 neu gegossen wurden. F. W. Schilling aus Heidelberg schuf ein Geläut, das die Tonlage des ausgefüllten Salve Regina in Moll bildet. Es ist auf die Tonlage der Glocken der evangelischen Kirche in der Nachbarschaft abgestimmt. Einen Überblick über die Daten der Glocken gibt folgende Tabelle:

If there's money to be had, a Neimoidian will be nearby. So says a common spacer stereotype, justified by the species' reputation for excelling at business. While Neimoidians are generally a cowardly lot, in financial issues, they can be bold and aggressive.
It was this instinct that led them to the command of the galaxy- spanning Trade Federation, a vast consortium of business interests that controls interstellar shipping in the Galactic Republic. When the government sought to tax outlying trade routes, the Neimoidians reacted with a brazen blockade of the peaceful world of Naboo. That the skittish Neimoidians could undertake so bold a move is remarkable; some suspect an unseen force manipulating events behind the scenes.
Neimoidians are tall humanoids, with mottled green-gray skin and smooth noseless faces. A nictitating membrane protects their large red-orange eyes.
The Neimoidian life-cycle has contributed much to their cutthroat business acumen. Born as disgusting grubs, Neimoidian offspring are placed in communal hives and given access to limited food supplies. The grubs then compete for food, and many young die if they are too weak to fend for themselves. Once Neimoidians achieve the age of seven, they emerge from the hives, having learned to fear death and to hoard goods.
Though they call Neimoidia home, Neimoidians can trace their ancestry to the ancient Duros spacefaring culture. The two share a striking similarity in appearance, but their personalities could not be more distant. While the Duros are a gregarious, expressive and adventurous lot, the Neimiodians seal themselves away from others, preferring to let droids do their talking.
Neimoidians place great value on wealth, and dress to display their riches accordingly. High-ranking officials dress in ornate and lavish gowns, towering headpieces, and the elite even travel about in inconvenient yet expensive conveyances called mechno-chairs.
Following the failed invasion of Naboo, the Neimoidians began losing favor in the galaxy. Though the command hierarchy of the Trade Federation still belonged to them, many Neimoidians fled from public view. Those that needed to conduct business took to calling themselves Duros to avoid the stigma.
Born-Traders: The Nemodians are born to make and break deals and organise trades virtually from when they are grubs, operating in business as if they were born with the skills. This is virtually true and they receive a bonus 2D to Bureaucracy, Business, Bargain and Con skills.
Treacherous: The Nemodian people are rarely trusted across the galaxy, and few people believe what a Nemodian says.


If you're planning on taking the Security+ exam, you should have a basic understanding of authentication factors such as something you are which is the strongest individual method of authentication.
Q. Which type of authentication is a fingerprint scan?
Fingerprint and thumbprint. Law enforcement agencies have used these for decades. Many laptop computers include fingerprint scanners or fingerprint readers, and they have also begun to appear on tablet devices and smartphones. Similarly, some USB flash drives include a fingerprint scanner. They can store multiple fingerprints of three or four people to share access to the same USB drive.
Handprint. These are similar to fingerprints, but the scanners look at the whole hand. Many amusement parks sell annual passes, but they don't want these passes shared with everyone in the neighborhood. They use biometric hand scanners to authenticate individuals as the actual owner of a pass. If someone else tries to use the pass, the scan fails.
Palm. Palm scanners identify individuals using infrared scanners and a palm-vein pattern recognition system. A great benefit of palm scanners is that you do not need to touch the scanner, eliminating a concern with many other types of scanners. Many businesses outside of the United States are using palm scanners in businesses and fast-food restaurants. Within the United States, many hospitals have begun to use them. Vendors claim that palm-scanning systems are as much as 100 times more accurate than fingerprint-scanning systems.
Retina. Retina scanners scan the retina of one or both eyes and use the pattern of blood vessels at the back of the eye for recognition. Some people object to the use of these scanners for authentication because they can identify medical issues, and because you typically need to have physical contact with the scanner.
Iris. Iris scanners use camera technologies to capture the patterns of the iris around the pupil for recognition. They are used in many passport-free border crossings around the world. They can take pictures from about 3 to 10 inches away, avoiding physical contact.
Although the use of DNA is possible in the future for authentication, it's unlikely it'll be used in the near term. Besides the lack of ability to identify DNA in a timely manner, most users will likely balk at having to prick their fingers to provide a blood sample to authenticate to a computer.
The third factor of authentication (something you are, defined with biometrics) is the strongest individual method of authentication because it is the most difficult for an attacker to falsify. Biometric methods include fingerprints, retina scans, and palm scanners.
Answer is B. A fingerprint scan is a biometric method of authentication in the something you are factor of authentication.
The something you have factor of authentication refers to something you can hold, such as a hardware token for a one-time password.
Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is an authentication method that sends passwords across the network in cleartext.
See Chapter 1 of the CompTIA Security+: Get Certified Get Ahead: SY0-401 Study Guide for more information on authentication methods.

Father accused of drowning daughter in Healdsburg appears in court
HEALDSBURG, Calif. (KGO) -- The father accused of drowning his four-year-old daughter in a baptismal tub made his first appearance in court Tuesday.
RELATED: Father accused of drowning daughter outside Healdsburg
When Gerardo Gordaz appeared in court Tuesday afternoon he did so in a wheelchair, shackled and confined, appearing at one point to turn toward family members and ask for forgiveness.
The judge's only action was to suspend criminal proceedings pending examination by a doctor.
After court only one member of his family spoke to reporters anonymously. "I can't speak for him," she said. "I wasn't in his head, I wasn't there to witness what happened. It is a tragedy."
Neither the family nor police has released a photo of four-year-old Maria. Flowers surrounded the baptismal pool in which police say her father drowned her Sunday night in the presence of an older brother.
Flowers now surround baptismal pool in #Healdsburg church where police say, a father drowned his daughter. #abc7now pic.twitter.com/LEpgntjCDF
— Wayne Freedman (@WayneFreedman) November 23, 2016
"The first charge is homicide," said Healdsburg Deputy District Attorney Jason Riehl. "The second is related to the child's death. The third is related to infliction of emotional distress."
Healdsburg police have not made any more formal statements since Monday's press conference. They spent Tuesday reconstructing events, which appear to include Ordaz walking with his children to the church from outside city limits.
Whatever family members have told police, they're not sharing anywhere else.
Ordaz will return to court Nov. 28. He is being held without bail.

TikTok video from yvng..jayden
Yvng..jayden has unwittingly won the TikTok competition with his slickly produced video of the week. The short film features a bevy of boozed up millennials. The video is a lot of fun to watch as the young lads are relegated to the periphery while the ladies bask in the glow of their mates' pheromones. After all, the name of the game is to make the girls want to swoon. After all, it's the one and only time your guy is going to be in the spotlight. Hence, the best time to play is in the early hours. This is probably the best time to watch the video on your laptop, if you can stomach the video on your phone. The video has garnered nearly a dozen comments so far. The video is a lot of fun, even for those not feeling the spirit of the bevy. This is a nice change from the norm.

Par la voix de leur ambassadeur auprès de l'Union européenne, Gordon Sondland, les États-Unis ont fait savoir qu'ils prendraient des mesures de représailles si Bruxelles persistait, « par entêtement ou par protectionnisme », à tenir les entreprises américaines hors du Fonds européen de défense.
J'ai souhaité répondre à cette menace inacceptable et ainsi faire savoir à nos alliés américains qu'il n'est pas dans leurs intérêts d'affaiblir leur allié le plus fidèle.
Gordon Sondland, Washington's ambassador to Brussels, reacted strongly last month to the EU's proposal that European Defence Fund investment should go to EU-based and controlled companies only ("Europe must open military projects to foreign firms, says US envoy", March 11). He has threatened the EU with retaliation if it excludes American companies from European industrial defence projects.
In linking the European Defence Fund to Nato, the Americans now seem to correlate the solidarity of the alliance with the purchase of US military equipment. When Mr Sondland claims that the EU's reasons may be "stubbornness or protectionism" he forgets that foreign companies can only benefit from American financing if they employ American personnel onl and are set up in the US. We are starting to wonder whether President Donald Trump is not putting undue pressure on us to increase our military spending simply in order that we purchase more American equipment. He also appears to be trying to force us to spend our taxpayers' money to support American research via the European Defence Fund!
The European Commission set up the fund in order to strengthen our security. It should be endowed with €13bn over the next seven years if the new European Parliament approves the budget next autumn. It is to promote security and defence research and innovation, built on existing frameworks. Whether it is the future European MALE RPAS drone, the European Secure Software-defined Radio program for the development of military communications, or projects in artificial intelligence and cyber security, the signal is clear: for the first time Europe is claiming its strategic autonomy as well as agreeing on the definition of what the European industrial base is. Obviously it displeases our long-term partner, who is actively attempting to divide us.
In my visits to European capital cities I have observed that lobbying by the Americans is quite successful, particularly in eastern European countries, which are deeply attached to the protection of Nato. They say that this is the price to be paid for the US's continued protection. They see Nato as the only deterrent against potential Russian aggression. They of course don't really believe that Russia will invade them as it would trigger an immediate reaction from Nato and the EU. However, they don't trust Europe to be capable of defending itself.
However, beyond the economic interests placed at the forefront of all negotiations by the current US administration, it is the security of European citizens that is at stake. European unity — an expression of citizenship in the making as well as European sovereignty — is being challenged by our long-term friends the Americans. A dangerous game to play with one of the US's traditional and strongest allies.


Acme/Lingo Flagpoles offers custom flags and banners along with wide format digital printing. The demand for custom printed outdoor media has led us to begin our own in house digital printing. In 2007, we invested in equipment that allows us to provide custom flags, banners, signs, and vehicle graphics. Shortly thereafter, we refined our printing process to also offer custom Street and Avenue banners printed on Sunbrella brand fabric. Our process allows for full color printing on the most durable, non PVC material available today. Short runs are no problem and no screen charges apply.


Magu is a female immortal in Chinese mythology and is depicted here as a Tang figure, though she is painted in a sweeping calligraphic style rather than in the fine conventions of Tang figure painting. Xu Lele studied at Nanjing Academy of Painting and her style derives from the Shanghai School painters Ren Xiong (1820-57) and Ren Yi (1840-95).
Magu is a female immortal related to longevity in Chinese mythology. It is said that she looks young and pretty even though she has seen the sea become land three times, a concept which signals the passage of time. Here she is depicted as a Tang dynasty figure, although she is painted in a sweeping calligraphic style rather than in the fine conventions of Tang figure painting.

Gov. Edwards holds press conference to discuss severe weather across Louisiana
BATON ROUGE - The Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness is activating its Crisis Action Team due to dangerous weather that will likely continue through Sunday evening.
Governor John Bel Edwards, along with emergency preparedness and response officials, held a press conference at GOHSEP headquarters at 4 p.m. to discuss the severe weather across the state.
According to GOHSEP spokesman Mike Steele, hail, dangerous winds and street flooding were reported in some regions before noon Sunday.
The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed portions of the state in the high-risk category for tornadoes, an occurrence which is fairly rare, according to Steele.
That area extends from western central Louisiana to north Louisiana.
The high-risk category means there is a threat of EF-2 or greater tornadoes, damaging winds in excess of 75 mph and large hail in those areas.
The potential for severe weather will travel near the lower Mississippi Valley into the evening hours.
Most of the state is currently in the moderate or enhanced risk category. Excess rainfall is also expected to reach 3 to 6 inches or higher in many areas by Monday morning.
A modified State Unified Command Group made up of several state agencies will meet with Governor Edwards Monday morning at 8:00 am to assess damage and address any new concerns.
GOHSEP Director James Waskom said the following in today's press release:
"Conditions change quickly as these types of weather systems move across the region. I can't stress the importance of monitoring your local media and the four National Weather Service offices that cover our state for potentially lifesaving weather alerts. Maintaining that awareness, preparing your emergency kits and taking any actions to protect your property, businesses and pets are critical when facing this type of threat. There is a wealth of information on preparation at www.getagameplan.org. Check that site and download the Get A Game Plan App. You can also get emergency alerts on your phones and tablets by downloading the ALERT FM App. If you must travel, be aware of the potential road issues due to the weather conditions. Visit www.511.la.org for DOTD updates."

I have a unique perspective on approaching technology and transforming the overwhelm into inspiration. I've found to my delight and surprise this is a universal conversation.
I'd love to share it with your audience.
Greta is genuine, passionate, a great-storyteller, and the bearer of golden nuggets of wisdom and synthesis.
Thank you for an excellent presentation, Greta! I am looking forward to getting the videos to those poor students who didn't get to see you.
Greta's knowledge was incredibly insightful. Her down-to-earth nature and awesome energy made her a total home run.
Greta was the best guest ever!! Funny and approachable. In fact, I think I learned more than our listeners! Thank you, Greta!
Welcome to the new "online frontier", where it is suddenly mandatory to have a basic understanding of how to (a) manage your business website, (b) engage with social media, (c) grow an online audience, (d) master SEO and (e) Google Analytics, (f) generate authentic and compelling content, (g) maintain an active blog and newsletter, (h) know how to inspire and share your brand throughout the universe…. oh, and (i) continue to run your existing business.
Feeling overwhelmed and confused by it all? We all are! It's perfectly natural to feel a bit lost. Actually, it would be odd if we didn't!
Technology can feel intimidating, even burdensome, especially if you don't see yourself as a "technical person". Technology confronts us, makes us feel stupid, stops us.
But when we allow ourselves to be a beginner – maybe not even knowing the right questions to ask just yet – we can approach this conversation with a bit more patience and empathy. We may just discover a way to embrace technology and see it as a vast and powerful tool expressing our truest selves to an exciting new universe.
Together, you and I are going to figure this out.

Let's climb the enigmatic Glacier Peak! Side effects include stellar views, calm isolation, and blisters on your feet.
Be at TH Friday, Aug. 17 6:30am.
This is a mentored lead for Meryl Lipman. Please direct all questions to her.
***This climb gives priority to Olympia basic climbing students and 2 from other branches who'd asked Meryl to lead Glacier Peak.*** If you're from another branch, please do not request permission until July 29!!!
These dates are a placeholder. Scheduled dates could change.
Day 1: We arrive at Sloan Creek campground at 3pm. Divide group gear. 4pm walk in to Mackinaw Shelter 5.5 miles and 900ft. Arrive 7-7:30pm, get water and early to bed.
Day 2: We start at daybreak on a 9-mile, 4000ft day up to White Pass and Glacier Gap. We'll beat the heat and bugs on what may be the hardest part of the approach to White Pass. Then, we'll take the Foam Creek Trail to Foam Creek drainage and contour down and around, up through a pass and down to WhiteChuck Basin, over probable melting snowfields (taking care not to post hole), onto the now-melted out White Chuck Glacier at 6400ft. It's possible to camp here or continue to Windy Pass/Glacier Gap 800ft higher. Pros of continuing are getting higher and possibly summiting morning of Day 3.
Day 3: Possible summit - We'll start at first light and, depending on conditions we'll take the route on the Gerdine/Cool Glacier (or over Disappointment Peak). We walk up a steep and switch backing ridge to drop down to the Gerdine Glacier, rope and crampon up, and head NE toward the Cool Glacier, crossing an ice fall where the two glaciers meet. Hike NW on the Cool to get back onto the steep scree slog to the summit. Descend and decide whether to break camp and move to a lower elevation.
Day 4: Second chance for the summit if we didn't do it Day 3, or out to TH if we did.
Day 5: Possible out to TH if summited Day 4.
Will send out a spreadsheet with group gear requirements.

Along with characters, weapons are some of the most important items in the two Plazma Burst games. Plazma Burst: Forward to the Past and Plazma Burst 2 are shaped around the use of different weapons in different combat scenarios. Every weapon is unique and has its advantages and weaknesses.
This is a list of all the weapons from the Plazma Burst series. Some of the weapons don't vary from PB:FttP to PB2 and some do. There are many different types ranging from your basic assault rifle all the way to a fast firing plasmagun. Many weapons have long cool down times that need to be waited out before they can be fired again, while others will continue to spray bullets in a rapid succession if the mouse is held down.
This page contains only a basic description of all the weapons, but for a much more in depth and comprehensive weapon information visit the weapon statistics page. It should also be noted that all weapons in Plazma Burst 2, with the exception of the Alien Pistol, Ray Rifle TCoRR, Sniper Rifle CS-YippeeKiYay, Glock, M4A1, Teleport Grenade v03 CS-PortNade, and Portable Shield v07 CS-Quarium were present in their current form upon the game's release.
Electroshock - A taser-like device that electrocutes enemies on contact. Has a very low damage but a high damage per second. Found in PB:FttP only.
PSI Blades - Energy based blades that can cause great amounts of damage and have the ability to deflect bullets. These replaced the Eletcroshock in PB2.
Pistol CS-Pro - A realistic pistol with decent damage, fire rate, and penetration. Excellent accuracy and found in PB2 only.
Pistol C-01p - The pistol the Marine started with. It boasts excellent damage, fire rate, and penetration. The accuracy is quite decent, but not perfect. Human Soldiers are found using a weaker version of the C-01p.
Alien Pistol - A pistol that is a bit like a railgun and has a fast rate of fire. The weapon shoots rails since Version 1.17 but these shots will not bounce. Unfortunately, it has very low damage and no penetration. Found in PB2 only.
Falkonian Pistol - A pistol that is made by the Falkoks, one of Plazma Burst: Forward to the Past's main enemies. It sports a red coloration and a small blue bulb, much like the Pistol C-01p.
Assault Rifle CS-RC - Used by the Civil Security on some levels in the Plazma Burst 2 campaign and is a rapid-fire assault rifle. Very well-rounded stats, with decent accuracy and penetration, great damage, and a good rate of fire.
Assault Rifle C-01r - One of the main weapons of the Marine. In PB2, it looks like the fully upgraded Assault Rifle C-01r from PB:FttP and has a different firing noise, although it is the same weapon. It has mediocre piercing power, bad to excellent accuracy (depends on upgrade level), and an amazing rate of fire. It is also used by Falkoks and CS Bosses (on level 40 only), while Human Soldiers are seen using a weaker and less advanced version.
Alien Rifle - A special rifle with extremely high accuracy and penetration, a very low rate of fire, and incredibly high damage for a rifle weapon. Found in PB2 only; Usurpation Soldiers use this as their main weapon.
Minigun C-02m - Noir Lime's signature weapon in PB2. A large gatling gun-type weapon with a very high rate of fire (comparable to C-01r), very high damage, and good penetration. Unfortunately, it has the worst accuracy of any rifle.
SMG - The FttP version of Noir Lime's weapon, it was somehow upgraded or the Minigun was found by Noir Lime between PB:FttP and PB2. It features medium damage, a good rate of fire and perfect accuracy.
Shotgun CS-DAZ - A powerful pump action shotgun that fires 4 pellets in one shot. Low accuracy and rate of fire, decent penetration, and high damage (if all 4 bullets hit).
Shotgun C-01s - A compact shotgun used by the Marine that fires 3 projectiles per shot, with good penetration. A weaker design is used by Human Soldiers. Less powerful than the CS-DAZ, but has higher accuracy allowing for more kills at long range.
Alien Shotgun - Rapid-firing Usurpation Forces' weapon. The rate of fire is identical to that of the Alien Rifle, and it shoots two moderately-high damaging projectiles per shot. It is more like a hybrid between Alien Rifle and a shotgun.
Lite Railgun v01 CS-HShot - A somewhat fast firing beam weapon that fires in a straight trajectory and has the ability to reflect off walls in multiplayer Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. It can fire through multiple enemies. Excellent accuracy and moderately slow rate of fire. Found in PB2 only.
Heavy Railgun v04 CS-OneSOneK - Much more powerful than its light counter part, it can fire through multiple enemies as well. Very slow reload but very high damage. Accuracy is less than that of the Lite Railgun. Like the Lite Railgun, it can reflect off walls only in multiplayer DM/TDM modes and contains a much thicker rail than the Lite Railgun. Found in PB2 only and haves the most damage in the game.
CS-BNG - The most powerful explosive handheld weapon in PB2. It fires a large lime green plasma radioactive round which damages anything in its way, exploding on impact (Anyone including allies gets damaged by the radioactive if the projectile goes near them). It has a slow reload, but it also has a very high knockback that can send anyone and anything flying.
Plasmagun CS-Bloom - Rapid firing plasma-based weapon that shoots small spherical projectiles that deal medium splash damage and high knockback. Found in PB2 only. Because of its decent damage and splash, it is often referred to as the "BNG's Little Brother."
Plasma Cannon - Plasma-based weapon in PB1 that fires multiple bolts at once with great penetrating power. Good accuracy, slow reload, massive damage. It could also be called an energy shotgun to some people; the same applies to Ray Gun. It was seen in use by Falkoks and Human Soldiers, and a similar look to the next weapon.
Ray Rifle TCoRR - This weapon shoots rays (single raygun-like projectiles) with automatic fire at a very high rate. This gun could also be classed as an automatic, because it's essentially an energy-based assault rifle. It has medium accuracy, extremely high fire rate, low damage, and low penetration. It is unknown who made this gun, but it was seen in use by Grubs in FttP. Not available for use in Campaign, but usable in Custom Maps.
Falkonian Marksman Rifle - A Falkonian energy-based precision rifle that has red coloration and the Lite Railgun firing noise. It does high damage with good penetration.
Grenade C-00n - Basic high explosive grenade that explodes after roughly 3 seconds.
Rocket Launcher - A weapon that slowly fires powerful explosive rockets. These rockets can deflect off the walls when fired at correct angle, just like railguns' projectiles. It uses player's grenades as ammo but rises their number from 3 to 15. Found in PB1 only.
Rocket Launcher CS-LitBro - The successor of PB1 Rocket Launcher. It has a new look and doesn't spend your grenades anymore, but it lost the ability to deflect off the walls. It is used by most Civil Security and Usurpation soldiers.
Grenade Launcher CS-SpamThemBaby - It fires grenades. These grenades are less powerful but are unlimited. Found in PB2 only.
Falkonian Grenade Launcher - A grenade launcher with red coloration that fires three small white grenades with white, blinking centers.
Vehicle Grenade Launcher - A grenade launcher built for vehicles, usually found on a Drone.
Vehicle Rocket Launcher - A rapid-fire burst rocket launcher-type gun that is used primarily by Corvettes.
Vehicle Minigun - A fairly accurate machine gun that is attached to vehicles like the Mobile rO81-CS or Drone.
Vehicle Cannon - A cannon that fires a projectile similar to the CS-BNG, but less powerful and at a higher rate of fire, mainly used by the Hound Walker-CS.
CS-Autocannon - A large vehicle-based cannon that fires Vehicle Cannon rounds at a slower rate than the Vehicle Cannon itself.
All of these are exclusive in PB2.
Defibrillator - Used to revive dead allies and heal the player. It can also send enemies into a dying state. It has an alternate version, the gun_defecator, impossible to get in your weapons slot unless specific steps are followed (see the Defibrillator page).
Teleport Grenade v03 CS-PortNade - A teleportation device that, when thrown, will teleport the thrower where the grenade would normally detonate. The player arrives at this location, traveling at the same velocity as the grenade, meaning that the player will also receive damage if it was at a high speed. It is exclusive to Multiplayer and it can't be used in the campaign.
Portable Shield v07 CS-Quarium - Another device that emits a circular shield which absorbs projectile damage, protecting the player inside or behind it. It will be destroyed over time or if the shield has received too much damage. Another type uses slot 7 and only works once. Once the slot 7 version is used, it spawns a unusable clone of itself. It is exclusive to Multiplayer and can't be used in the campaign (unless a campaign custom map has a slot 7 shield).
Plazma Burst 2 has more weapons than Plazma Burst: Forward to the Past.
Plazma Burst 2 is the first game in the series to add more weapons via updates.
Only three weapons - the Pistol C-01p, Assault Rifle C-01r, and Shotgun C-01s - have gone virtually unchanged since the first installment.
Most of the weapons are not affected by gravity.
The FttP Rocket Launcher is the only non-grenade weapon that has limited ammo and is affected by gravity.
In multiplayer, all weapons that have splash damage (such as the CS-BNG) rarely show their unique kill message. However, gun modification triggers can solve this by changing projectile type to a normal bullet or railgun-like energy.
Normally, vehicle weapons can't be used outside of the vehicle (you have to control it in order to use these guns). However, the August 26, 2014 update introduced new gun modification triggers to the Level Editor, which can make vehicle weapons hand-held, and vice versa.
When a ballistic, rail or ray-type projectile penetrates through an enemy and then hits another enemy (or more enemies in a chain combo, especially in case of using a Heavy Railgun), that is recorded as 2 (or more) hits. Since the accuracy stat (shown at the end of any campaign levels except 41) is just a # of hits divided by # of projectiles fired, multi-hits can result in accuracy being higher than 100%. However, enemies harmed with splash damage of projectiles such as rockets have no impact on accuracy.


Legendary magician Ricky Jay, who has appeared in films including "Boogie Nights" and "Magnolia," has died, according to Variety. He was 72.
The famed sleight-of-hand artist died of natural causes on Saturday in Los Angeles, the entertainment outlet has reported.
Jay's career in acting spanned decades, with appearances in "Deadwood" and "Tomorrow Never Dies," according to IMDb. He also wrote and gave lectures on the art of magic, with presentations at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and Princeton University, according to his website.


NEW DELHI – Police on Saturday were hunting for three men who allegedly drugged, kidnapped and raped a teenage girl while she was on her way to a test-preparation course in northern India earlier in the week, the latest incident of violence against girls and women in the country.
Police officer Ashwini Kumar said the 19-year-old victim was in stable condition in a hospital in Haryana state and police have taken her statement.
The Press Trust of India news agency cited the girl's father as saying she named three suspects who abducted her from a bus stop on Wednesday, but felt that eight to 10 people could have been in the village home where she was raped.
Indian media reports said the suspects were believed to be from her village and known to her. They dropped her off later in their car in Mahendragarh, a town about 145 kilometres (90 miles) southwest of the Indian capital, New Delhi.
Kumar said police know the identity of the suspects, but they had switched off their phones and were evading arrests.


On the tenth anniversary of 9/11/01, Rev. Penwell preaches a gospel of forgiveness.
Maybe that's the good news.
Sermon Podcast: "The Gates of Hell"
Rev. Derek Penwell preaches on Matthew 16 13–21, in which Simon Peter first articulates the disciples' belief that Jesus is "the Messiah, Son of the Living God."
In this passage, it's clear that Jesus sees a church playing offense--marching on the gates of Hell. After establishing that he's uncomfortable with martial metaphors for the reign of God, Rev. Penwell asks what weapons are we to use? The answer is in the passage following today's gospel, Matthew 16:21: "From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and undergo great suffering at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised."
Suffering, sacrifice, and death are the weapons of Christians. That is, as Christians we must be prepared to stand beside the oppressed and marginalized and receive the same blows they do.
It's all we've got. It's enough.
"The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them. . . . They will not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea" (Isaiah 11:6, 9).
So we Christians do not oppose nuclear weapons because they threaten to destroy 'mother earth,' but because the God we serve would not have one life unjustly killed even if such a killing would insure the survival of the human species (Stanley Hauerwas, Sanctify Them in Truth: Holiness Exemplified, Nashville: Abingdon Press, 1998: 192).
In The Brothers Karamozov, Alyosha Karamozov and his brother, Ivan, have a conversation in which Alyosha, a postulant at the monastery, seeks to understand Ivan's seemingly entrenched agnosticism. Ivan, in explaining his philosophy turns to the question of theodicy (i.e., the goodness of God put to the question of human suffering) to demonstrate his understanding of the universe as essentially unjust. He cannot get his mind past the very basic question of God's righteousness in the face of wanton suffering, especially the suffering of children who are presumably innocent.
Ivan gives a series of accounts in which children are the object of profound suffering. One story that is particularly horrifying recounts the tragedy of a five-year-old girl who is tortured by her parents for dirtying her bed. Her mother makes her eat her own excrement and locks her in an outhouse every night, even in the dead of winter. Ivan wonders how the mother can sleep at night while her daughter beats her chest and cries out to "gentle Jesus" for help.
In a world that casually assumes the fact of violence as woven into the fabric of the universe, Alyosha's reticence is puzzling. We think, "If you had a chance to bring happiness and peace and tranquility to all humanity, and all it would cost is the suffering and torture of one innocent creature, and you didn't do it, you would be stupid." Of course, we try to limit "civilian casualties" and "collateral damage," but we all know that peace (progress, democracy, justice, a new world order, etc.) come with a cost. Only the most hopelessly naive think that peace occurs without a few "civilian casualties." Only the most credulous believe that the happiness of the world can be secured without a little "collateral damage." No pain, no gain.
And yet, maybe there is something to be said for a guileless vision of the world in which the structures of happiness and peace and tranquility will no longer be built on the back of the suffering caused by our relentless pursuit of peace by violent means. Maybe there exists a way of looking at the world in which no violence, no matter how well intended, can ensure the reconciliation of enemies. Maybe there survives a way of construing the world that depends no longer on the blood of children to make the world a safer place, but insists on relying on God to secure our future.
Nah. You'd have to be pretty stupid to look for a world like that.
Forgive us Christians who are a bit skeptical about the world's ability to pick and choose which innocents have to die to secure peace. We have a good memory. We remember a time when those in power got together to secure peace by killing an innocent man.
Well, on second thought, maybe you can build a peaceful world on the back of the suffering of one innocent man. I suppose it depends on the man.

Child solicitation charges confirmed
CHAMBERSBURG >> All charges against a Chambersburg man accused of propositioning young teens for sex were approved to go forward for trial after a preliminary hearing Wednesday morning.
Christopher Garrison, 23, is charged with criminal solicitation of a 13-year-old girl, along with corruption of minors in one case, and a newly added charge of criminal solicitation of an 11-year-old girl and corruption of minors in a second case.
Garrison's preliminary hearing was held in front of Magisterial District Judge Jody C. Eyer at Franklin County Courthouse.
During the hearing, both girls testified to Garrison's actions toward them, in which they said he proposed sex to both of them.
The first girl, now 13, said on March 22, she was watching a younger boy around Garrison around Cumberland Circle in St. Thomas Township. She said the boy told her Garrison wanted to date her. She said she didn't think much of it, but eventually began talking to him and at one point held his hand.
However, she said they followed the young boy into a nearby clearing, and that was when Garrison propositioned her for sex. The girl paused for a long time before testifying what he said, because she told the court she felt uncomfortable saying what he had said.
The girl described being scared and nervous when Garrison propositioned her.
"My heard was pounding," the girl said. "I was shaking, sweating."
Shortly after Garrison propositioned her, she said they walked back toward the more residential area where she ran into a house and met a woman who was then in a relationship with Garrison.
She said she told the woman about the incident, then remembered the woman yelling at Garrison about the accusations. She said she began yelling to defend herself when she believed Garrison began lying to the woman about the incident.
The woman then called the girl's mother, and police were alerted.
The second girl — 12 at the time of her testimony but 11 at the time of the incident, said Garrison texted her a profane proposal for sex while she was in the car with him and a woman. The girl said when she received the text, she was a little nervous and scared, but Garrison told her to delete the text, so she did.
The girl said she waited a day to tell anyone, but as soon as she did, police were called.
The girl admitted to writing Garrison a letter after he was taken into custody. The girl said the letter asked how he was doing, then said the charges would be dropped. The girl said she had been very close to Garrison before the incident, and thought of him as a friend.
During cross examination from Garrison's attorney, Todd Sponseller, the girl said members of Garrison's family had begun to pressure her to write the letter, including one person threatening her.
There was also discussion that she had give her phone to investigators, where attempts have been made to retrieve the alleged propositioning text messages. She was unsure if they were able to retrieve the texts or other records.
After the girl said she wrote the letter partially because she didn't want anyone to go to jail and she didn't want to start drama, Sponseller asked her if she was starting drama by making the accusations.
"I think Chris started it," the girl replied.
Arresting officer Patrick Hinds, from the Chambersburg Police Department, also testified to the conversations he had with Garrison during the investigation. Hinds said he had oral and written statements from Garrison admitting to one of the solicitations. Garrison also said one of the girls had come on to him. Hinds said Garrison claimed he was attempting to prove himself.
Garrison, who has two addresses listed in Chambersburg, was brought in by U.S. Marshals on the charges in late March and is now being held in Franklin County Jail in lieu of $150,000 bail.
His next court hearing is set for July 15.

Jefferson Energy Cooperative is a non-profit, member-owned electric cooperative. Although cooperatives are considered non-profit organizations, they still have to make a certain amount of margins to satisfy the requirements of their lenders. As part of the cooperative business model, these margins are treated as capital, contributed by the membership to the cooperative, to help keep rates low, and to reduce the cost of borrowing funds for capital needs such as power line construction, transformers, inventory, and other equipment.
At the beginning of each year, members are allocated a portion of the previous year's margins – called Capital Credits – based on the amount of electricity purchased from Jefferson Energy Cooperative that year.
The Jefferson Energy bylaws and Equity Management policy allow for Capital Credit retirement if the board of directors determines it will not adversely affect or impair the cooperative's financial position. Additionally, the board of directors determines when and how much money may be refunded through what is called a general retirement. Once a retirement of capital is approved, members will receive a check for their portion of the margins retired for the service years designated by the board of directors.
Jefferson Energy Cooperative's bylaws provide for the early retirement of capital credits for former members who have inactive accounts in a discounted, present-valued, lump sum payout. The lump sum payout may be refunded for all allocated service years. A Capital Credit Former Member application must be completed in order to receive the discounted lump sum payout.
Jefferson Energy Cooperative's bylaws also provide for early retirement of a deceased member's capital credits in a discounted, present-valued, lump sum payout. The lump sum payout may be refunded for all remaining service years, up to and including the year of the death of the member. A representative of the deceased member's estate must complete a Capital Credit Estate Application in order to receive the discounted lump sum payment.
As a member of Jefferson Energy Cooperative, you not only get the benefit of affordable, reliable electric service, but the opportunity to receive a return on your investment in the form of Capital Credits.
Below is a list by name and address that you can search for unclaimed Capital Credits.

There are some paths that are easy to embark upon. If you want to start jogging, it's as simple as putting on a pair of running shoes and hitting the road. Starting is easy, but you don't get to complete a marathon by casually jogging from time to time. The same is true for innovation management: getting started is easy but real, lasting success can be an elusive goal.
