California State Officials Say Republicans Have Installed Fake Ballot Boxes (UPDATE)

UPDATED 10/13, 10:35 a.m. ET: California's GOP has, per the New York Times, "admitted responsibility for placing more than 50 deceptively labeled "official" drop boxes for mail-in ballots in Los Angeles, Fresno, and Orange Counties." State officials confirmed the activity is illegal and may contribute to voter fraud.
Cali's Secretary of State and Attorney General issued a cease-and-desist to state and county Republicans and ordered the misleading boxes removed. But California Republican Party spokesman Hector Barajas said they'll keep distributing the boxes and won't label them as a Republican effort.
"There is nothing in any of the laws or regulations cited in that advisory that indicate private organization drop boxes are not permitted," said Barajas. "The way Democrats wrote the law, if we wanted to use a Santa bag, we could. A locked heavy box seems a lot safer."
See original story below.
California officials have claimed that the state's GOP has installed unofficial ballot drop-off boxes across the state, and in doing so they've violated state law.
Washington Post reports that the Republican party has actively pushed for voters to put their mail-in ballots in these specific boxes, which feature a sign reading, "Official ballot drop-off box." The locations targeted by the GOP appear to be gun stores, churches, and gyms, with many advertising the fake drop-off boxes on social media. These boxes, however, are not county-authorized and state officials say they're actually illegal.
In a since-deleted tweet, a regional field director for the California GOP asked people to DM him for "convenient locations" to drop off their ballots, presumably to encourage the usage of these fake boxes.
"Operating unofficial ballot drop boxes—especially those misrepresented as official drop boxes—is not just misleading to voters, it's a violation of state law," Alex Padilla, California's Democratic Secretary of State. "My office is coordinating with local officials to address the multiple reports of unauthorized ballot drop boxes. Californians should only use official ballot drop boxes that have been deployed and secured by their county elections office."
According to the secretary of state's office, erecting or advertising an unofficial ballot box is a felony that carries between two to four years prison time. The official ballot return locations are listed on the secretary of state's website, while the GOP had urged voters to deliver their ballots to unlisted sites at numerous locations. While the fake ballot locations were listed on the GOP's site, the page has since been removed.
In a reply on Twitter, the state's GOP defended the decision. "If a congregation/business or other group provides the option to its parishioners/associates/or colleagues to drop off their ballot in a safe location, with people they trust, rather than handing it over to a stranger who knocks on their door - what is wrong with that?"
Essentially, the GOP claims it is using a 2016 law called "ballot harvesting," which is a practice allowed in some states in which campaign volunteers collect ballots on a door-to-door basis. While the controversial-but-legal practice has been criticized by the GOP in the past, it's now the same practice it has claimed to utilize.
Padilla's office believes they're not legal under this 2016 law, though, as the statute requires that a voter designates a "person" to return the ballot. The unofficial drop-off boxes have no person present with them to make the practice legal, Padilla has argued.

Florida Current is Weaker Now Than at Any Point in the Past Century

Topics: Climate & Ocean / Ocean Circulation

A key component of the Gulf Stream has markedly slowed over the past century—that's the conclusion of a new research paper in Nature Communications published on August 7. The study develops a method of tracking the strength of near-shore ocean currents using measurements made at the coast, offering the potential to reduce one of the biggest uncertainties related to observations of climate change over the past century.
"In the ocean, almost everything is connected," said Christopher Piecuch, an assistant scientist in the Physical Oceanography Department at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and author of the study. "We can use those connections to look at things in the past or far from shore, giving us a more complete view of the ocean and how it changes across space and time."
Piecuch, who specializes in coastal and regional sea level change, used a connection between coastal sea level and the strength of near-shore currents to trace the evolution of the Florida Current, which forms the beginning of the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream flows north along the Southeast Atlantic Coast of the United States and eventually east into the North Atlantic Ocean, carrying heat, salt, momentum, and other properties that influence Earth's climate. Because nearly continuous records of sea level stretch back more than a century along Florida's Atlantic Coast and in some parts of the Caribbean, he was able to use mathematical models and simple physics to extend the reach of direct measurements of the Gulf Stream to conclude that it has weakened steadily and is weaker now than at any other point in the past 110 years.
One of the biggest uncertainties in climate models is the behavior of ocean currents either leading to or responding to changes in Earth's climate. Of these, one of the most important is the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, which is a large system or "conveyor belt" of ocean currents in the Atlantic that includes the Gulf Stream and that helps regulate global climate. Piecuch's analysis agrees with relationships seen in models between the deeper branches of the AMOC and the Gulf Stream, and it corroborates studies suggesting that the deeper branches of AMOC have slowed in recent years. His method also offers the potential to monitor ocean currents like the Gulf Stream from the coast, complementing existing but difficult-to-maintain moored instruments and expensive research cruises.
"If we can monitor something over the horizon by making measurements from shore, then that's a win for science and potentially for society," said Piecuch.
This study was supported by the National Science Foundation.
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is a private, non-profit organization on Cape Cod, Mass., dedicated to marine research, engineering, and higher education. Established in 1930 on a recommendation from the National Academy of Sciences, its primary mission is to understand the ocean and its interaction with the Earth as a whole, and to communicate a basic understanding of the ocean's role in the changing global environment.

The Florida Current, which forms the start of the Gulf Stream, has slowed over the past century and is the slowest it has been at any point in the past 110 years.
Historical analysis of the current was made using sea level records from Florida and the Caribbean.
Slowing of the Florida Current relates to the strength of the Gulf Stream and the much broader system of currents known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) that helps regulate global climate.
Understanding past changes in ocean currents helps reduce one of the biggest uncertainties in observations of climate change over the past century.

Missing In Michigan

Police help families check if missing persons match remains at Michigan medical examiner's offices
Michigan State Police hold event at Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office
DETROIT – For families of missing people, discovering a loved one is dead can be a heartbreaking reality, but knowing one way or the other can bring closure.
Officials from Michigan State Police, the Detroit Police Department, Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office and NamUS are teaming up for an "ID the Missing" event at the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 1300 East Warren Avenue in Detroit.
UPDATE: Wayne County Missing in Michigan event aims to solve missing persons cases
"If you are missing somebody and you feel like maybe they could be there, this is the time to come forward," said Detective Sgt. Sarah Krebs, of the Michigan State Police Missing Persons Unit.
The event is from 2 to 6 p.m. Wednesday.
"It's extremely successful," Krebs said. "We have found answers for a lot of families by doing this. We invite the families of missing people that have not heard from somebody in a long time and are concerned that they could possibly be at the morgue as unidentified remains, and that's really our intent is to identify some of these John Doe and Jane Doe cases that we do have at the Wayne County Morgue by matching them back to missing persons records."
Families of missing people should bring two biological family members who can give DNA samples, other identifying documents, including dental or medical records, and pictures of the missing person.
Some cases are solved the same day, depending on the identifying information available. Other cases are solved once DNA is processed or the body of a missing person shows up.
"I'm always very honest with my family members about what they're about to embark on, and I'm frank with them about, 'A very real outcome is they're going to be here at the morgue,'" Kreb's said. "They're already facing that challenge coming into it, so it's not a complete blindsided event when I do give them a death notification. That they come there knowing that this is a possibility but that's real and they need to face that and that may be why it's so hard for them to come forward in the first place."
Krebs said the event is sometimes the first time a family fills out a missing persons report for their loved one. The "ID the Missing" event is an opportunity for family members who have been afraid to come forward to do so.
For more information, families can contact the Michigan State Police Missing Persons Coordination Unit at MSP-MissingPersons@michigan.gov.

With more and more readers preferring to consume content on their mobile device, publishers are witnessing firsthand the importance of having a strategy for their content which is optimised for mobile. One of the most common questions we hear publishers ask is how do they effectively go about transforming their print ads for their mobile audience?
Below are a few tips you should keep in mind to maximise your advertising efforts when transforming your print publication to an optimised mobile web app.
When you are up against small screen mobile devices, the concept of a full page, half page, or quarter page ad becomes meaningless. Instead, it makes more sense to value ads in terms of hierarchical placements within the mobile site.
To determine how this hierarchy is achieved, it is first important to understand how the fundamental structure of a publication differs when published as a print replica edition vs a mobile-first edition. A publication that has been optimised well for mobile should be broken down and reformatted so that it can follow a user-friendly layout, regardless of the device that it is being viewed on. Readers should also be able to quickly navigate between different section categories.
Leading ads and sponsored content can receive priority placement on the home page before the crease so that they are seen immediately, or receive a targeted placement within a category of their choosing.
Banner ads are the simplest and most recognisable form of mobile advertising, and can also be customised for each section category. When you place the ads with the user experience in mind, banner ads can be a highly appealing and unobtrusive option for your sponsors and can allow their ads to achieve more visibility than they would have had tucked between the pages of your replica edition. Dynamic animating banner ads will draw the reader's eye, and are an upsell incentive for your print advertisers.
Before you go about re-imagining your ads for mobile, it is first important to understand that readers will engage with media and content in drastically different ways on their mobile phones than on they do on desktop. Google insights from a recent report show that people are increasingly choosing to consume content on their smartphones in short bursts throughout the day. They call these brief periods of engagement 'micro-moments'.
While the overall time we are spending consuming digital media on mobile devices has risen to 3 hours a day in 2015 (compare this to only 18 minutes in 2008), the time we are spending per session is on average only 1 minute, 10 seconds!
It is important for publishers to keep this behaviour in mind when developing their mobile ad strategy. The mobile space is not bound by the same spacial limitations of print, allowing brands to add more content and media to their adverts. At the same time, it is also crucial that brands communicate their marketing message to mobile readers as succinctly as possible. Just because advertisers can invest in sponsored mobile articles instead of just small print ads, it doesn't mean that mobile users will want to read through paragraphs and paragraphs of text to hear their message.
It is this trend that is driving brands to invest their marketing dollars in mobile video, with eMarketer estimating that by 2019 mobile's share of total digital video ad spend will reach 47.7%, up from just over one-third in 2015.
For publishers who are aiming to see improved ad engagement and click through rates in their metrics, including mobile video is definitely one option that should not be overlooked.
Mobile devices offer one major benefit over the desktop medium for publishers, and that is the ability they have to draw upon the native functionality of a mobile or smartphone device to improve and personalise the reading experience.
When you consider the fact that only 9% of users will stay on a mobile site or app if it doesn't satisfy their needs (for example, to find information or navigate quickly), it makes sense for publishers to make the most of all of the tools in their arsenal to ensure that readers get value out of their publication's advertisements.
Including advertiser buttons in sponsored articles can transform a brand's ad into a much more engaging, targetted experience, and will facilitate a seamless flow of consumers through the sales funnel. Adding trackable buttons which allow readers to tap through to an advertiser's website, tap to call or book, or tap for directions to the nearest store are HUGE incentives to upsell to your advertisers. Considering that 61% of smartphone users are more likely to buy from companies whose mobile sites or apps customise information to their location, your advertisers are bound to see a greater return on their mobile marketing investment.
These are only just a few of the easy, actionable ad strategies publishers can leverage when they take their magazine mobile. The great thing about publishing to mobile is that your advertising strategy will be limited only by your creativity.
However, not all publishers have the time, resources, or technical knowhow to come up with a mobile solution for their publication which sets your brand up for growth in the digital space.
To help you get a leg up over your competition, Realview have just launched PARTICA– a new mobile-first publishing and content marketing solution that was created in response to the advertising challenges faced by publishers world wide. Click through to our presentation where you will discover how you can transform your print ads for mobile audiences, so you can start profiting today!

The 2018 Nissan Kicks: A New Compact Crossover Nissan has released a new model that will takeover the Nissan Juke the next model year. The Juke had a good run but it was time to change things up with the evolving crossover market. The two share similar body lines but I think I can say that the new Nissan Kicks is easier on the eyes with much sleeker body lines. The new Kicks will allow for some serious customization from paint schemes to an impressive audio system. It is certainly compact and nimble so it would be perfect for someone ….
The History & Evolution of the Chevrolet Silverado This post is being contributed by A-1 Auto Transport, Inc., a nationwide and international auto shipping company with more than three decades of experience transporting vehicles of all types to locations throughout the U.S. and around the world.As Chevrolet celebrates its 100 year anniversary of the first truck it produced in 1918 (Model 490), it seems an appropriate time to take a look back at the history and development of one of their most iconic and celebrated trucks: the Chevrolet Silverado.Though the Silverado wasn't released as a truck model until 1998, it ….


Ilog Maria Sting-Less – Citronella mosquito repellent with propolis, natural plant and fruit oils. It has pleasing smell that lasts for hours. It provides antifungal, antibacterial and anti-viral action.
Note: I've been using bgone lotion and bgone spray for almost 3 years and I find it really effective to repel mosquitoes and other insects. But when I saw Ilog Maria Sting-Less for P70, I did not hesitate to try this product. I love the scent but I think it only lasts for few hours unlike bgone spray and bgone lotion that lasts for 4 to 10 hours.
Ilog Maria Healing Massage Oil- An aromatic and soothing blend of essential oils, herbs, flowers, fruit, nut oils, honey and bee propolis.
Note: I really love the scent of this massage oil, it really soothes and relaxes your muscles and there is no doubt that it is excellent for healing massage, reflexology and siatsu.
Spearmint and Oatmeal soap – Cooling and refreshing. Perfect for hot days. Alleviates skin asthma.
Note: It is absolutely true that this soap is perfect for summer season because it really cools and refreshes your body. I love the minty scent of this soap. It is also for sensitive skin.

Spider-Man is the Premier Superhero
Growing up, I wasn't a normal child. I didn't enjoy watching or reading about superheroes because I thought they were "overrated", until one day when I was four years old it all changed. My dad let me stay up one night to watch a Spider-Man movie marathon with him. The themes of the movies weren't…

We live in a world full of amazing heroes and it would be quite impossible to choose the "best". But favourites now that most of us can choose one. Though we may not be superhero fans we all know them well enough to say something about them. Today I am going to tell you why…
With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility
For over 50 years, Spiderman has been a role model for children and teenagers all over the world. His life as a superhero began when he was 15 and was bitten by a radioactive spider. Immediately after the bite, he was fixed with his original powers which included superhuman strength, reflexes and balance; the ability…


This museum doesn't need any advertising. Frankly speaking this is one of the most legendary art museums of the world. Here is where you can find masterpieces of such widely known artists as Perugino, Botticelli, Bronzino, Giorgione. The hall 214 is obviously the most prestigious of Hermitage, possessing two canvases of Leonardo: Madonna Benois, also called Madonna with a flower, bought by Hermitage in 1914 and Madonna Litta, one of the main masterpieces of the artist, created in 1490 and bought in Milán for the princes Litta. The hall 221 is completely dedicated to Tiziano. There is where you can see Dánae, there is a copy in Nápoles, Viena and Madrid. The hall 222 is completely dedicated to Veronese. The hall 229 preserves two main masterpieces of Raphael: Madonna Conestabile and the Holy Family. Caravaggio, Tintotetto, Canaletto, Velázquez, Murillo, Goya and many other names. Just imagine you stay in the room with all the masterpieces around you. What a stunning impression! It will leave you breathless. If you are amateur of arts your fillings will be stronger. You will feel yourself happier after this tour. Just imagine Leonardo was painting his Madonna in 1490 in Italy, at the same time Christopher Columbus was planning his trip to India, Latin America hadn't been discovered yet. At the same time Kremlin walls were still under construction… and five centuries later you are able to enter the hall and see the original work of Leonardo!
Our professional licensed guide will help you to find all main masterpieces of Hermitage because it's not easy.

Cook County's circuit judges formed the Committee for Retention of Judges in Cook County years ago so they would not have to directly raise money when they face election to remain in office.
The move to shift the money was the result of a secret vote by the retention judges. They decided to fund the party's efforts despite opposition to Coghlan, one of 59 Cook County judges who will be on the November ballot seeking new six-year terms.
Mary Kay Dawson, a political consultant working on behalf of the committee, failed to respond to interview requests.
Dawson gave the judges a list of political events that she wrote were important to "have people at.


The Dunes Restoration Plan for the Monterey Shores Resort proposed for 39 acres of rare beachfront dune habitat in Sand City has been released and Ventana Chapter has retained experts to submit comments. The developer, Security National Guaranty (SNG) is proposing construction of a 1.3 million square foot mixed-use residential and visitor-serving development in undeveloped dunes seaward of Highway One adjacent to Fort Ord Dunes State Park in Sand City.
These undisturbed beachfront dunes contain several threatened and endangered species and have been monitored for nesting coastal populations of western snowy plover since 1999. Ventana Chapter attorney Larry Silver has retained senior biologist Scott Cashen to provide comments on the western snowy plover. Dr. Cashen (Dr. Cashen letter here) focuses on inadequacies in the Plan which proposes measures that will not offset the Project's contribution to habitat loss. Coastal ecologist Peter Baye's (Dr. Baye letter here) report highlights coastal dune ecology and management with an emphasis on Smith's blue butterfly, Monterey spineflower and western snowy plover.


This is part 1 of a 3-part series on equal-opportunity connection.
Simplification. It's hard to explain everything perfectly, so they stick to whatever they consider the basics. Perhaps they demonstrate something consistently in class, but social dance quite differently.
Lack of awareness. If they demonstrate something differently in class without acknowledging it, chances are they don't know they are doing it. They way they dance socially may be even further from what they demonstrate in class.
The second one is more frustrating. As a student, you are receiving conflicting information from the same person.
The first one, while necessary, can be quite limiting if your teacher over-simplifies and leaves out important information.
Today's article (Part 1) explains the traditional approach to connection/partnering and establishes 10 huge problems with this approach.
The lead leads, and the follow follows. The lead initiates, and the follow responds. The lead tells the follow what to do, and the follow does it.
Traditionally, the lead is in charge of the entire structure of the dance. The lead must give the follow clear instructions. Traditionally, the follow has limited choices, and all choices must mesh with the lead's instructions.
First, the traditional definition is literally inaccurate. Of course you can dance that way. But the best dancers do not. The best dance partnerships work as a team, both people contributing creative ideas on the fly, each responding to the other's movements, adapting the direction of the dance based on their partner's input.
Second, it creates an imbalance of who contributes creative ideas. The lead is expected to contribute more, the follow less. This limits creativity for both lead and follow, especially in the early years of learning lindy hop. The lead's burden is too high, while the follow is not developing her creative juices much at all.
Third, in later stages of learning, as the lead's creativity is finally blossoming, the follow's creativity is often stagnating. Since she's conditioned to "follow first," she's plagued by self-blame if a move fails when she tries to do something creative.
Fourth, classes are consistently lead-focused, since in their traditional role, they have a more complicated job. Leads are expected to direct the dance, do their steps, and work on connection, while follows are expected to connect and do the moves without thinking about them too much. Follows often leave class feeling like they didn't learn as much. Apparently we need to organize entire events and create female–only dance troupes and switch roles to work on our dancing and have a forum to fully express ourselves.
Fifth, we all tend to dance the same as we get to a certain level. There is immense pressure to dance like others, since there's only one right way to connect.
Seventh, when there's only one right way to connect during a move, it makes blaming your partner (or yourself) even easier. You know this common scenario: If a move fails, the lead secretly thinks, "She didn't follow honestly," or "She hasn't learned to follow that yet." The follow thinks, "He can't lead it clearly." In a partnership, blame is unproductive, destructive, and stifling.
Why are we obsessed with acting out these stereotypes?
Eighth, it causes different performance standards for leads and follows in competitions. It's harder for a follow to make finals if she draws mediocre partners in a Jack and Jill. Follows are expected to respond to their partners more than leads are, so they are regularly docked points if they "show off" (read: act independently) too much.
Ninth, choreography is frequently one-dimensional. Leads (usually men) play to traditional "strong and in charge" masculine stereotypes, and follows (usually women) play to traditional "demure and submissive" feminine stereotypes. Boy-meets-girl and other ways of framing sexual/romantic tension are the most overused tropes in lindy hop. They are boring and do little to push our dance to new creative heights.
Tenth, it's an unnecessary double standard based on outdated gender roles, also known as sexism. Why should the follow's creativity be limited only to the context the lead gives her? This expectation can make a follow edgey, angsty, and judgey, for good reason. Add this to the pile of other sexist tendencies in lindy hop: Classes being lead-centered, male teachers doing more talking than females, and men being given more status and respect.
I have personal experience with all of these problems.
I've observed the top-level dancers being mutually responsive to each other and wondered why my partners weren't responding to my ideas.
I've felt the crushing expectation that following my leader is more important than expressing my creative ideas. I've felt stymied by the expectation that I must follow perfectly before I'm allowed to be creative.
I've sat through many lead-centered classes, frustrated and sometimes angry at the lack of attention follows received, especially in creative instruction.
I've experienced the limitations of silently blaming my partners over and over for "not leading right" (meaning, not leading the way I was taught they are "supposed" to lead).
I didn't feel like an equal; I didn't know I could ask for my needs to be met. I didn't know there was a different way. I was only trying to act out what my teachers explicitly taught me… Until I started noticing that they dance differently than they teach.
Then one day, I danced with a lead who was incredibly responsive to me while sacrificing nothing about his own dancing. And I realized things could be different—not just in my head, but in real life.
Improving our understanding of how connection works gives us the incredible opportunity to raise the bar in lindy hop. At least half of our lindy hop population's creative juices are under-utilized. If we could harness everyone's creative input, we can lift the burden of man-as-chief-creator and woman-as-passive-executor.
How do I "leave space" for the follow?
How come my dancing works with some people, but not with others?
I'm bored with my moves. What now?
The connection requirements of leads and follows are identical.
We treat them as they are two entirely separate skills, but that is wrong. Lead and follow must learn the same connection skills, initiating and responding. The steps are different, but the connection is not.
For leads, learning to listen through the connection and respond to each follow's unique movements is the key to unlocking the above mysteries.
For follows, they key is to give yourself permission to initiate new ideas in your dancing, and relieve yourself of the responsibility for making all moves work perfectly.
Naturally, there will be objections. I've been talking about this for years and have heard staunch resistance from many angles (though in Seattle I've encountered much greater receptivity). Many lindy hoppers are very attached to what they've learned and taught.
Practicing equal-opportunity connection has the ability to help mitigate all 10 of the problems cited above. It'll also make you a better, more fulfilled dancer.

Нейтральные крипы — более сильные и опасные существа, появляющиеся в лесу. Они
не принадлежат ни к одной из фракций и являются альтернативным источником добычи
золота и опыта. Герои могут сосредоточиться на убийстве нейтральных монстров,
качаясь в лесу. Также некоторые нейтральные монстры обладают специальными
способностями. Герои вроде Doom Doom могут использовать эти способности,
применяя их против врагов, или же для своей выгоды. Рошан также считается
нейтральным крипом.\n\nМЕХАНИКА
Нейтральные крипы появляются каждую минуту, начиная с 30-й секунды игры.
Рассерженные монстры покидают свой лагерь и преследуют обидчиков в течение 7
секунд, после чего вновь возвращаются в лагерь. Эту задержку возвращения можно
использовать для отвода крипов, что заставляет нейтральных крипов сражаться с
союзными, или же для нагромождения крипов, что позволяет иметь более одной пачки
крипов в одном лагере.
Нейтральные крипы не будут появляться, если в их лагере имеются крипы, герои,
варды или же некоторые снаряды вроде Homing Missile Gyrocopter.
Лес каждой из фракций состоит из одного лагеря маленьких монстров, двух лагерей
средних монстров и двух лагерей больших монстров. Также в лесу нашли свое
пристанище древние монстры. В среднем за зачистку леса (не считая древних лагерей)
будет получено 513 ед. золота и 977 ед. опыта.</string>

The Jerusalem Epistle (al-Risala al-Qudsiyya) is a small theological tract written by perhaps Islam's most influential thinker Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (d.1111/505) expounding foundational Muslim beliefs (Qawa'id al-'Aqa'id) as they were understood and articulated primarily by the Ash'arite School at the close of the 5th century. Written whilst living in Jerusalem (al-Quds), Al-Ghazali sets out in four "cornerstones" (arkan) each with ten "foundations" (usul) what he takes to be the core Muslim doctrine a general believer must assent to.
*** 4. On Faith and Fundamentals.
The book has three parts : Part One contains an introduction to the aims, structure and methodology of the Risala. Part Two consists of a full edited edition of the original Arabic text. Part Three contains over 100 pages of notes on the core themes within the Risala in order to help the reader understand and appreciate they key precepts and major arguments. The distinctive feature of this part of the book is that the notes are assessments based on philosophical analysis and not just descriptive explanations.
Although terse and short, the Jerusalem Epistle is layered with theological and philosophical arguments. This book contains an edited version of the original Arabic text of the Jerusalem Epistle followed by extensive notes to help the reader unpack the key notions and arguments for further study and systematic reflection.
This is the first time a fully annotated edition of the Jerusalem Epistle has appeared in the English language.

Q: ECharts: How to use the resize event of the window? Im trying the Echarts library  for my graphs. I'd like to resize the plots when the window's resize trigger is fired but I can't find the way to do it.
Thanx for your help

A: var plot = echarts.init(yourDom);
plot.setOption({...});
window.onresize = function() {

Brigadier General Fred Castle, the B-17G Copilot that stayed aboard his crippled Flying Fortress to let his crew bail-out. He was killed in the crash of his bomber after gasoline tanks exploded.
By Dario Leone
Brigadier General Fred Castle was flying as copilot with the 487th Bomb Group and 1Lt. Robert W. Harriman and his experienced lead crew of 6 officers and 3 enlisted gunners in the lead B-17G Flying Fortress seen here.
Europe, Christmas Eve 1944 – The weather over the northern continent finally started to clear due to the arrival of a much-needed high pressure system. The Battle of the Bulge was raging in hotly contested areas in Luxembourg and Belgium, and allied ground forces were in real danger of being completely surrounded after six hard-fought months on the continent. With the break in the weather the unprecedented might of the allied air forces launched what turned out to be the largest heavy bomber strike of World War II …
While over 1,000 9th Air Force fighters and fighter-bombers continued the bloody low level war directly supporting US Army forces, the England-based 8th Air Force launched a strategic "maximum effort" of nearly 2,000 heavy bombers escorted by almost 900 fighters. They were accompanied by 800 Royal Air Force heavy bombers. All three of the "Mighty 8th's" bombardment divisions put up everything they had. Their targets were German fighter airfields and communications centers throughout western Germany in critical support of the ongoing battles far below.
As the awesome artwork in this post painted by Wade Meyers (be sure to visit his site to see his beautiful paintings) shows, as the 3rd Bomb Division's 4th Combat Bomb Wing commander, Brigadier General Fred Castle was flying as copilot with the 487th Bomb Group and 1Lt. Robert W. Harriman and his experienced lead crew of 6 officers and 3 enlisted gunners in the lead B-17G Flying Fortress seen here. The bomber was nicknamed Treble Four in honor of her serial number, 44-8444. As airborne commander and a 'pathfinder' – 444 was equipped with the advanced H2X "Mickey" ground-mapping radar in place of her ball turret – Castle's Fortress carried three navigators, one each for dead reckoning, pilotage (ground reference), and a specially trained Mickey radar navigator.
This beautiful artwork is named "TREBLE FOUR" and is available from Wade Meyers Studios – CLICK HERE TO GET YOURS.
At altitude and nearing the target, Treble Four began to have problems. Brig. Gen. Castle's Medal of Honor citation reads as follows:
The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pride in presenting the Medal of Honor (Posthumously) to
BRIGADIER GENERAL (AIR CORPS) FREDERICK WALKER CASTLE
UNITED STATES ARMY AIR FORCES, for service as set forth in the following
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action above and beyond the call of duty while serving with the 487th Bombardment Group (H), 4th Bombardment Wing, Eighth Air Force.
He was air commander and leader of more than 2,000 heavy bombers in a strike against German airfields on 24 December 1944. En route to the target, the failure of one engine forced him to relinquish his place at the head of the formation. In order not to endanger friendly troops on the ground below, he refused to jettison his bombs to gain speed maneuverability. His lagging, unescorted aircraft became the target of numerous enemy fighters which ripped the left wing with cannon shells, set the oxygen system afire, and wounded two members of the crew. Repeated attacks started fires in two engines, leaving the Flying Fortress in imminent danger of exploding. Realizing the hopelessness of the situation, the bail-out order was given. Without regard for his personal safety he gallantly remained alone at the controls to afford all other crewmembers an opportunity to escape. Still another attack exploded gasoline tanks in the right wing, and the bomber plunged earthward, carrying Gen. Castle to his death. His intrepidity and willing sacrifice of his life to save the members of his crew were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.
Brigadier General Fred Castle
War Department, General Orders No. 22 (February 28, 1946)
Castle's other combat decorations include the Distinguished Service Cross, Legion of Merit, four Distinguished Flying Crosses, four Air Medals and the Purple Heart.
Merced Army Air Field was redesignated Castle Field in his honor on Jan. 17, 1946. The facility became Castle Air Force Base in 1948. The base closed in 1995.

Accommodating Religious Freedom under the Secular Rule of Law
The freedom of religion is first among our freedoms in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and it forbids government from making any law that prohibits the free exercise of religion. But religion can itself encroach on our freedom, as evidenced by Kim Davis, a clerk in Rowan County, Kentucky, who refused to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples based on her religious beliefs. When a federal judge ordered Davis to issue such marriage licenses and she refused, she was found in contempt of court and spent a short time in the county jail.
There can be no freedom of religion without a secular rule of law to protect it, and the law is ineffective if religious beliefs give people a license to disobey the law. There is a seeming exception made famous by Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but their peaceful civil disobedience was not really an exception. Both Rosa Parks and Dr. King went to jail when they purposely violated the law to protest separate but equallaws in the Jim Crow South. As a result of their protests, the law was changed through normal democratic political processes.
Michael Gerson of The Washington Post has asserted that Kim Davis is no Rosa Parks; but in the unlikely event that Davis ignites a quiescent majority of Americans to make same-sex marriage unlawful, then she would be more like Rosa Parks than Gerson would like to admit.
Private employers are required to provide reasonable accommodation for employees whose religious beliefs conflict with their job requirements, but Davis is a public official. She requires a statutory accommodation like those provided in North Carolina and Utah that would allow other public officials to perform her duties when they conflict with her religious beliefs.
While secular law can accommodate issues of religious belief that conflict with lawful duties, the issue can be avoided altogether if religious standards of legitimacy (what is right and wrong) are considered voluntary moral standards rather than obligatory laws. When religious standards of legitimacy are enforced as law, as with apostasy and blasphemy laws, there can be no religious freedom. Unfortunately Jewish, Christian and Muslim fundamentalists all consider the holy laws in their scriptures to be coercive laws rather than voluntary moral standards.
Kim Davis is a Christian fundamentalist who believes that the Bible is God's inerrant and infallible word and that it takes precedence over secular law, just as fundamentalist Muslims, or Islamists, believe that Islamic law, or shari'a, is God's law and takes precedence over secular law and human rights, so that apostasy and blasphemy laws preclude any freedom of religion or speech. In similar fashion, ultra-Orthodox Jews believe that it is God's will that they rebuild their temple in Jerusalem on the ancient temple mount now occupied by a sacred mosque. Such fundamentalist beliefs based on ancient scriptural mandates are not only a threat to democracy, human rights and the secular rule of law, but also to world peace.
By way of contrast, progressive believers consider their sacred scriptures a source of truth for matters of faith and practice, but not as the perfect and immutable word of God that must be applied as a matter of law and policy today just as it was in ancient times.
Jesus was a Jew who never refuted Mosaic Law, but unlike Moses, Jesus never taught that it was God's perfect and immutable standard of law and righteousness. Jesus taught the supremacy of love over law, and that the greatest commandment was to love God and our neighbors as ourselves. And Islamic scholars have confirmed that the greatest commandment is a common word of faith for Jews, Christians and Muslims alike.
The teachings of Jesus and Muhammad on morality and law are at the heart of legitimacy. Both men understood that true faith was based on voluntary acts of love and mercy rather than on obedience to religious laws. The laws of Moses and Muhammad were suitable for their time and place, but not for ours. In modern times, we are governed by the rule of secular law, not by God's law; but believers can assert the moral supremacy of God's law over secular law in democratic political processes and ultimately through peaceful civil disobedience, so long as they are willing to pay the price for violating the law.
Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. exercised their religious freedom and protested the immorality of racially discriminatory laws in the Jim Crow South, and those laws were changed. They used peaceful civil disobedience to demonstrate the moral primacy of love over law and the interrelated roles of religion, legitimacy and the secular rule of law. Kim Davis protested the morality of the law on same-sex marriage based on her beliefs. While her protest was ultimately accommodated by the law, it is unlikely to change the law she protested.

This morning, I decided to come from JOY and DELIGHT. The day was great.
Let's go back to yesterday – I work as a Collaborative Lawyer. As such, I help divorcing people transition with dignity and respect. I get to work with other professionals who share the same commitment to transparency and healing. Usually, I love my job.
AND – I am committed to transformation. My Landmark Education kicked in a few times. Most importantly, yesterday, I wrote down my intention for a class (Wisdom) that I am registered into that starts in June. My intention – "To live from JOY and DELIGHT rather than duty and obligation." And I am enrolled in "The Science of Personal S.T.Y.L.E." with Liana Chaouli where we are tapping into our true nature so that it can be expressed fully. I am having so much fun.
So this morning, getting in my car to go to that meeting – a meeting that I thought should have been cancelled with a briefcase full of paper that I didn't want to carry, it occurred to me… I want to live from JOY and DELIGHT. … So do that. I didn't directly "counter" any of these things that I didn't want. My perspective simply shifted.
I arrived at the meeting – spoke to the attorney – told him that I found it challenging, but here are the things we needed to talk about before the clients arrived. There was no "make wrong" in my voice. I genuinely felt gratitude for his presence, his contribution and our ability to work together. And it was not "perfect" – but it was what it was.
During the meeting, all the people at the table seemed to feel heard. My client expressed satisfaction with the outcome and the process. I answered her questions. We lined up our next steps. (The inner critic didn't even show up to list all the ways that these to-dos could have been avoided. That just showed up for me now.) But here is the kicker – during the meeting, we had a neutral professional at the table. She said, "Wow, you guys are essentially done. This went so smoothly and so quickly. This is why I love the Collaborative Process." The other attorney agreed. He pointed out that we got so much done so quickly. And the clients agreed. They have seen friends and neighbors go through such a long, drawn out, painful process that they feel blessed to have found us.
I stopped in my tracks – I had been feeling like we were dragging. (Because in my head – doing it my way – we would have been moving at a faster pace and getting more done.) Then JOY and DELIGHT showed up. THEIR JOY AND DELIGHT as well as mine.
I was able to receive the awareness of Harmony – each of us as an instrument playing its part. And all the parts coming together to make beautiful music.
May you shift – however you need to – to the "come from" that brings you closest to your true nature. Namaste.


MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Sheriff's deputies say a worker at an Amazon warehouse in Florida stole nearly $4,000 in merchandise and gift cards, and sent customers empty boxes.
Orange County deputies tell news outlets 20-year-old Elvis Edgardo Soto was arrested Tuesday on a felony third-degree grand theft charge.
He has been released from jail after posting $500 bond.
An arrest report says another employee discovered the thefts after running a report for gift cards that had been redeemed within six hours of being issued by the facility.
The report says Amazon reimbursed customers who received empty packages.

Business Disputes that Follow You Into Your Bankruptcy Case

A creditor can challenge the discharge of its debt in bankruptcy. This is not common, but is more so after a debtor closes a business.
Why Creditor Challenges Are More Common in Closed-Business Bankruptcies
For the following reasons, creditors tend to object more to the discharge of their debts in bankruptcy cases that are filed after the debtor has operated and closed a business:
The amount of debt owed, and thus the amount at stake, tends to be larger than in a conventional consumer case, making objection more tempting to the creditor.
In the business context some debtor-creditor relationships can be very personal, so when the business fails, these creditors take it personally. Consider debts between former business-partners who are blaming each other for the failure of the business, or between a business owner and the business' primary investor who believes the owner drove the business into the ground, or between the contract buyer of a business and its seller in which the buyer feels that the seller misrepresented the profitability of the business. In these situations the aggrieved creditor is more personally motivated to fight the discharge of its debt.
The owners of businesses in trouble find themselves desperate to keep their businesses afloat. So they make questionable decisions which then expose them to objections about fraud and such once they file bankruptcy.
In the kinds of close creditor-debtor relationships mentioned above, the creditor often has hints about the business owner's questionable behavior, and so is more likely to believe it has the legally necessary grounds to object.
But Objections to Discharge Are Still Not Very Common
When former business owners hear that any creditor can raise objections to the discharge of its debt, they figure an objection would very likely be raised in their case. But in reality these objections occur much less frequently than might be expected, for the following reasons:
The legal grounds under which challenges to discharge must be raised are quite narrow. To be successful a creditor has to prove that the debtor engaged in rather egregious behavior, such as fraud in incurring the debt, embezzlement, larceny, fraud as a fiduciary, or intentional and malicious injury to property. These are not easy to prove, so creditors do not tend to try unless they have a strong case.
In his or her bankruptcy case the debtor publically files a set of papers containing quite extensive information about his or her finances, and does so under oath. The debtor is also subject to questioning by the creditors about that information and about anything else relevant to the discharge of his or her debts. If the information on the sworn documents or gleaned from any questioning reveals that the debtor truly has no assets worth pursuing, a rational creditor will often decide not to throw "good money after bad" by raising an objection.
In a closed-business bankruptcy case there are these two opposing tendencies. Challenges to discharge are more likely, especially by certain kinds of closely related creditors. But these challenges are still relatively rare because of the narrow legal grounds for them and the financial practicalities involved. A good bankruptcy attorney will advise you about this, will prepare your bankruptcy paperwork to discourage such challenges, and will help derail any such challenges if any are raised.
