Crime?
If the Mafia had engaged in a systemic system of sexual abuse against children and youths with a coordinated plan across the hierarchy to cover up and in some cases abet the molesters, it is probably a safe bet that this would be deemed to be "organized crime" and prosecution under racketeering and other laws would be brought to bear on those coordinating and participating in the scheme. Yet, due to undeserved deference to religion and the Catholic Church in particular, no such prosecutions have occurred anywhere in the world. Meanwhile, more and more cases from across America and the globe continue to show just how pervasive the abuse of children and youths has been and how time and time again the Church protected the predators rather than the victims. A piece in Religion Dispatches makes the case that RICO laws should be applied against the Church. Here are excerpts:
The Catholic Church has been trying desperately to suggest that the days of rampant sexual abuse of minors by priests and subsequent cover-ups by bishops are a thing of the past and that the church has moved into a new, more transparent future. But to paraphrase a classic mob movie, just when they think they’re out, they get pulled back in.
And just when the publicity over Spotlight’s Academy Award dies down, now comes a hard-hitting report chronicling 50 years of abuse in the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese in Pennsylvania.
One state legislator is calling for a RICO investigation of the conspiracy, calling it “nothing less than organized crime.”
Despite the pledges by Pope Francis and other Vatican officials to take a zero-tolerance position on abuse and to make a full reckoning of sins of both omission and commission, it appears that the church is still dedicated to protecting its power and privilege over seeking justice for abuse victims.
On one hand, the Vatican is happy to promote its new anti-abuse expert with a high-profile interview with Crux. But on the other, on the ground where it counts, it still flexes its muscle to block a full reckoning with the past—even if financial settlements are an imperfect means of justice.
And in case there’s any doubt that a reckoning is still needed, some 250 additional victims have come forward in Altoona-Johnstown just since the release of the report in March. But due to the church’s lobbying, it doesn’t appear their voices will be heard. On Tuesday, the abuse bill passed a House committee with the window for past abuse cases firmly slammed shut.

When we go down in September, we’ll be staying for good!
Here I am, very tired after a long day of sprucing up the flat, followed by a long evening at work. I don’t look my best, but I’m happy.
Although the last day of nursery school isn’t till Thursday, today was Tadpole’s Graduation Day.
Tad has really enjoyed his time at the nursery and says he has the best teachers in the world, so he’ll be a little sad at leaving, but he’s been telling everyone for weeks now that he’s nearly ready for Primary 1, so I hope the transition won’t be too tough on him.
The whole class made their own mortar boards for the occasion and everyone got a lovely certificate congratulating them on graduating. Our boy was very smiley and did very well (especially as this morning he was very tired and didn’t want to go to school at all – he didn’t go to sleep till late last night, despite going to bed at the usual time of around 7.30pm).
I was so proud seeing him standing up to receive his certificate and shaking hands with the Deputy Head Teacher of the school.
Yesterday was Tadpole’s nursery school sports day. There’s nothing he loves more than running around, so he was understandably very excited about taking part in races (and we were excited at going to watch him take part). He’s usually very camera shy, but he was very good about letting us snap a photo of him showing off his medal and also about us shooting little videos of him racing. We’re so proud of our little sports star at the best of times, but he also won three out of the four races he did! They don’t actually do “winners” at nursery, but all the kids got a medal for taking part.
The bat and beanbag race was first (nursery school equivalent of egg and spoon race), and it was a tight run thing till Tadpole decided to get competitive with his friend who was running next to him, and ran straight back to the beginning instead of weaving in and out of the little cones like he was supposed to, but he went back and completed the course as he was supposed to, so he finished last in that one.
Next up was running. Just straight out running. There’s nothing can stop our little speedster once he gets going and he came first by miles.
Finally there was a fun race – the hat and bag race. The kids had to run to the first hoop and put on a hat, then to the second hoop to pick up a bag, then run round the end and return the bag and hat to their hoops before racing back to the finish. It was a close call, but Tadpole just made it to the end in front of the others.
I love that Tadpole enjoys being energetic – hopefully he’ll be able to enroll in a gymnastics class very soon – we’re on a waiting list for an accredited group and I know he’d love it!
Well done, Tadpole – you’re a star!
Another week, another update, although this time a very quick one because it’s a busy day! Tadpole’s just home from nursery and we’ve had a quick lunch, but now I have housework and baking to get on with before getting ready for work this evening. Time flies when you’re having fun! Oh, and we have a couple of completions too – hurrah!
Still not bought any new books – doing really well with this!
I came to realise that the next installment of this series has now been set back till next year, therefore I have, in effect, completed this part of my challenge, as I have read all the available volumes in the series and am up to date, ready for the next book when it is published next year.
We also started watching Killer Joe (2001) but it was so terrible we quit watching it after about 25 minutes. We just couldn’t stand any more of that drivel!
This part of the challenge is now completed (although I’m sure I’ll see more new films this year anyway).
I actually tried out TWO no-cook recipes this very week, so I’m including them together as this months challenge entry. Overnight oatmeal and energy bites.
Today Tadpole and I went on a school trip. It was one of those induction “away day” trips that are supposed to help prepare the kiddies for Primary 1 after the summer. So, I packed my backpack with wellies (just in case), suncream and water and we set off for school.
Excited about our impending adventure!
Most of the kids scoffed theirs straight away, but I was very proud of Tadpole who kept his to enjoy after lunch. Good lad!
Ts. ’! n’t going to say no to thaek’s trip to Haddo House. I won’t be going along to that one (it’s kids only this time), so I’llTadpole loves animals. So do I, but there’s a problem in that I’m am highly allergic to many of them and number one on the list is cats – five minutes in a room with a cat and I can hardly breathe, my nose is bunged and my eyes are streaming. Basically I’m allergic to anything with fur or feathers, animal dander and saliva (if one licks me I come out in hives!), washing powder, and powders in general, pollen, and pine sap. The animal allergies effectively rule out pets that aren’t of the aquatic, amphibious or reptilian kind.
Anyway, back to the point, Tadpole would dearly love a furry pet of his own, but cannot have one, therefore he’s delighted that a local cat appears to have adopted him! Almost every school morning, the cat (which he calls Puss-Cat) waits for him and runs right up to him the moment he’s in sight. He then pets it a while and it follows us almost all the way to school. Then at home time, it waits for him again.
He gets very disappointed on days the cat isn’t there, and on the rare occasion that Tadpole has been ill and can’t go to school, but I have been going to my Primary 1 class, the cat mews quite pitifully as I pass on my own. I guess they love each other very much!
Me and my lovely boy!

The greatest baseball game ever played.
The most important four-and-a-half hours in Cubs history.
A game with so many twists and turns, so many unbelievable moments that everybody would scoff and chalk it up as “unrealistic” if they saw the same sequence of events play out in a movie.
Heck, the game even ended with a playe la Rudy.
It was unseasonably warm in Cleveland, reaching a high of 77 degrees with sunny conditions earlier in the day on Nov. 2. By the time the game started at 8:02 p.m. local time, it was still 73 degrees with only a slight breeze.
In other words: Absolutely perfect baseball conditions, though that obviously changed as the night wore on.
The Cubs and Indians were set for the most high-stakes Major League Baseball game the world has ever seen. These were the teams with the two longest current championship droughts – the Cubs at 108 years, the Indians at 68 years. The Cubs hadn’t even earned a trip to the World Series since 1945, while the Indians lost both the 1995 and 1997 Fall Classics.
The Indians had jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the series while the Cubs’ bats once again went into one of their October silent spells. But Kris Bryant’s homer to lead off the 4th inning in Game 5 woke the offense up and – with a day off in between Games 5 and 6 – the Cubs were carrying some momentum into Cleveland.
All the pressure was off the Cubs and had been placed squarely on the Indians. The Cubs had just used their battle-tested veteran Jon Lester to win Game 5, but they also had Jake Arrieta and Kyle Hendricks lined up for Games 6 and 7. With the off-day, the bullpen was rested and it gave Lester another chance to catch his breath after a gutsy performance.
Between all that and the warm, hitter-friendly weather, it was playing perfectly into the Cubs’ favor.
Game 6 proved that, as the Indians fell victim to the pressure immediately and the Cubs lineup suddenly reemerged as the same relentless group that won 103 games in the regular season.
Luckily for the Cubs, there was no off-day between Games 6 and 7, allowing them to carry the momentum from one night to the next.
Maddon kept his lineup exactly the same as Game 6, while Francona only switched up his centerfielders, inserting Davis to replace Naquin, whose miscommunication led to a pair of 1st-inning runs the night before.
Four pitches into the game, the Cubs already had a lead as Fowler sent Kluber’s 94 mph fastball into the bleachers. Kluber was operating on short rest and making his third start of the World Series after winning Game 4 just four nights earlier.
The Indians tied the game in the bottom of the 3rd when Santana drove Crisp in with a single. The Cubs responded immediately when Russell hit a sacrifice fly to plate Bryant and Contreras followed with an RBI double in the top of the 4th.
They tacked on from there with 2 more runs in the 5th (a Javy homer and a Rizzo RBI single) before the wheels started to come off a bit as the Indians were hitting Hendricks hard, but right at Cubs defenders.
Maddon opted to go against his pregame plan and brought Lester in from the bullpen in a “dirty” inning with a runner on base in the 5th. Lester proceeded to give up a single to Kipnis and then threw a wild pitch that caromed off David Ross’ mask and allowed 2 runs to score. On another night, that moment might’ve been classified as a “Cubbie Occurrence,” but this was not one of those nights.
Ross immediately rebounded by hammering a 2-strike fastball from Indians relief ace Andrew Miller over the center field fence to recoup 1 of the runs given up the previous half-inning.
Things stayed that way for a while, as Lester battled and got the ball to closer Aroldis Chapman in the 8th inning, departing after a 2-out single to Ramírez. As Maddon found out during the regular season, Chapman was of the breed of closers who preferred to work only 1 inning at a time.
But plans change in the playoffs and Maddon had been riding Chapman hard as the only trusted option out of the Cubs bullpen the longer the postseason wore on. That meant Chapman had thrown 62 pitches in the previous 2 games (3 days). Who knows how much that extra workload truly impacted Chapman or affected how familiar the Indians hitters had become with him, but the Cleveland lineup greeted Chapman rudely in the 8th.
Brandon Guyer doubled to drive home Ramírez. After a long battle, Davis smacked Chapman’s 7th pitch of the at-bat off the railing in left field at Progressive Park, tying the game with one of the most unlikely homers in postseason history. Indians fans were delirious, Cubs fans – who have had their share of living through excruciating pain – were speechless.
This wasn’t Lindor or Napoli or Santana – the Indians’ big boppers. This was Rajai Davis, he of 62 homers throughout his entire 1,448-game career. Prior to 2016, he had never hit more than 8 homers in a season (he hit 12 in ‘16). And it came off Chapman, who had surrendered only 2 longballs all season and has allowed homers at a rate of 0.5 per 9 innings throughout his career.
We all know how the rest of the story played out – the two teams remained tied until the 10th inning, with a 17-minute rain delay coming on after the 9th. And, while that 17 minutes was barely enough time for me to take my laptop from the outdoor auxiliary press box into the auxiliary media workroom, it was the perfect amount of time for Heyward to call all the players into the weight room and deliver the speech that would change the course of history.
Looking back on it, what stuck out to me the most were the most classic “what if” baseball situations. Zobrist’s game-winning hit was struck well, but it was on the ground and not that close to the foul line. If Ramírez was playing closer to the bag, it might’ve been hit right at him. If Bryan Shaw’s 2-seamer to Zobrist was located where he intended to throw it (more in on the hands to align with how the defense was set up), the swing may very well have resulted in an inning-ending double play.
What if Schwarber wasn’t able to make a miraculous recovery? What if Albert Almora Jr. didn’t have a moment of clarity and thought to tag up at first base on a deep fly ball (you hardly ever see baseball players do that, even in the situation of a winning run)? What if Maddon had utilized Almora earlier in the game as a pinch-runner instead of Chris Coghlan? What if the rain delay had lasted longer than 17 minutes or didn’t even occur at all?
For all of Maddon’s moves in the game that were criticized, what if he had handled his catchers differently? Carrying three backstops on a postseason roster is – in itself – abnormal, but utilizing all three in the same game is even more rare. Yet Maddon handled it seamlessly and each of the three catchers drove in a run while simultaneously managing their pitchers through tough moments.
Of course, that could all be said the other way: What if Davis had struck out instead of hitting that unlikely homer? What if the ball didn’t bounce off Ross’ facemask so awkwardly that it led to 2 runs coming in on a wild pitch?
That’s just the way baseball works. Sometimes, it’s your day and
On this night, the ball bounced the Cubs’ way just enough.
In this season, the Cubs had the perfect amount of baseball luck.
For one year, for one series, for one game, all the talk of Cubbie Occurrences and black cats and curses and billy goats and Bartman were obsolete.
For once, the Cubs had come up on the right side of the coin.
They were World Champions.

“Being on homecoming court and having to participate in the parade, this makes it hard for both the students and myself to be prepared,” Joe Caldwell, a homecoming court member said. “With the homecoming parade starting at 8:30 a.m., it makes me wonder just who all is going to show up and support one of the best days of the year.”
“I think it’s completely unfair,” senior marketing student Clark Nichols said. “This gives us zero chance to tailgate before the game and will surely hurt the amount of people that actually go to the game. Since I’ve been here, it’s always been an afternoon homecoming game.”
Head Coach Billy Napier has praised the student attendance at both the tailgates before the game as well as at the game. With a student section that has been jam-packed all season, it seems harsh to allow an 11 a.m. start time.
The student tailgates before each home game have been monstrous. The support has been unimaginable. And the love for this team goes without saying. Understanding the contractual obligations and it being out of the university’s hands, students have voiced their opinions on Twitter towards ESPN and other higher-ups.
“As students, it just limits our ability to support the team when they’re finally hitting their stride to close out the season,” junior finance student Ardis Sikes said. “We want to support both the homecoming parade before the game as well as tailgate before kickoff, but it seems virtually impossible to do both with such an early start.”

In summary, it is possible to discern between two samples made from the same base polymer by identifying differences in the additives incorporated into each via ionRocket DART®-MS. Moreover, ionRocket DART®-MS allows this identification to be made between samples which are indistinguishable by FT-IR.
It was confirmed that ionRocket combined with DART®-MS enables the detection of additives and base-resins contained in paints without any pretreatment or sample preparation. Therefore, this analytical method is useful for R&D and QC for paints. </s> Wakanda Inu ($WKD), the first truly successful African memecoin project and cryptocurrency token held by over 113,000 people, the highest number of holders in any African Cryptocurrency project, is living up to its original ethos.

Because Wisconsinites tend to cram everything fun into the summer months (with good reason), I will most likely continue to post only on Hodgepodge Wednesdays, and some weekends. Most of the family fun events occur in the summertime, naturally, and I keep remarkably busy tending to the kitties, porch sitting, reading, picture taking, garden mulching and watering, and walk taking. It's a tough life. As a friend once said when asked what she does all day, 'I don't know, but it takes me all day to do it. '

I love all of your posts I catch - no matter what you're not saying. I love this blogland world in general for all the fun we share. It makes sense to us, right?
June has been just lovely hasn't she?
I love the Amish farmer photos. And all of the rural WI ones you share. Truly beautiful area!

Dear Judy, I am laughing out loud about the road names!
You do well for having nothing to say...
I love the picture of Tommy and Smokey!Our kitties are up at the crack of dawn running around too. :-) That is amazing that you have written 2200 posts. ALL of which have been beautiful to read and pictures enjoyed. And as Cindy said above, love all the pictures - each one truly does tell a story. Have a great week!
Wow!Judy, you and I have been blogging the same length of time, but I've only written and posted 396 posts -- you've done 5 1/2 times more!I can't even imagine. Makes me tired just thinking about it. I could never have lasted this long had I not from the outset known that I could never do more than one post a week. I am so jealous of the energy of those who can!

This procedure continued each year until at the time of the father's death the current note held by the son was in the amount of $6,000.


W.L. Gore, the maker of Gore-Tex fabric, is one of the few examples of enterprise-level consensus decision-making in business, and for good reason — it’s really, really hard. From the beginning, Gore has had no employees or managers — only associates. The organization is extremely flat and hierarchies are actively broken down. Decisions are made because people believe they need to be and agree to them. So although the decision-making process can be chaotic and slow, in the end, everyone buys into it. With 8,600 associates and $2.5 billion in annual sales, Gore is able to do this because their culture supported it from the beginning. As Gary Hamel describes in his book "The Future of Management," one employee sums up the essence of Gore, saying, “We vote with our feet. If you call a meeting and people show up, you’re a leader.”

Three sisters despair as youth club forced to close
Barbara Melia, 62, Jean Dougherty, 53, and Ann Ellis, 49, have closed the Saltney Junior Youth Club due to legislative red-tape, increased insurance premiums and a lack of volunteers.
'Meeting Welsh safety standards and paying to go through police vetting procedures as well as insurance is too expensive for us.
'We will miss it as we have worked with great kids over the years. The one thing I will miss is being recognised by the children. Wherever I go, youngsters wave and say hello and it's lovely.'
The sisters, who in total have nine children and 16 grandchildren, said their farewells to more than 50 members aged 10-12 on Wednesday.
Ann said:'They are good kids-boisterous, but they are Saltney kids and we are proud of them.'
In its early years, the junior club welcomed children who were too young to go to Salt-ney's Senior Youth Club, which at the time had a minimum joining age of 14.

010: Julian’s personal bank cards blocked. Left without any access to funds.

19 August 2010: “Swedish Security Service (SÄPO) requested information about [Julian] from an Australian intelligence organisation”

20 August 2010: Sweden launches a “preliminary investigation” into Julian for “lesser rape”.
<br /.

Just as I showed in “Being Julian Assange” that much of the history of the original WikiLeaks-led support campaign for Chelsea Manning had been disappeared, it appears that much of WikiLeaks early history has been as well.

Julian once>“sation that is occurring in archive repository means that the censorship is very easy.”

In my research, I also reviewed mountains of related media. A collection of the most pertinent examples are below:

Julian’s 22 August 2010 interview with Al Jazeera is a must watch. He says he had received tips prior to the accusations against him to expect something like this could happen to him.

That same day, Karin Rosanger, was giving one of the most bizarre interviews I’ve ever seen. The insane exchange between her and an Al Jazeera news anchor we>AJ Anchor: “Have you spoken to [Julian]?”

Swedish Spokesperson: “No”

AJ Anchor: “Any idea where he is?”</blockquotere you looking for himn: “Not at the moment and the prosecutor in question doesn’t know yet whether she wants to interview him or not. She’ll be deciding that matter later.” Well surely that would be the first step – to try to contact the person at the centre of such an allegation, whether it turns out to be baseless or whether it has some basic in fact – surely the first step is to contact the person who has been accusedI can’t give you any details cos it’s under investigation.ouldn’t it be logical to try and talk tocomment on that unfortunatelyDo you feel a bit embarrassed by all of th not at all, it’s not embarrassinghy notBecause this is normal procedureIt’s quite normal to accuse somebody of rape then 2 hours later say, no, it’s not the caseYeah it’s quite common that new information gets into a case and we have to revise earlier positions.”

It wouldn’t be the last time Sweden revised their position. Some days later, the case they opened then closed would be opened again, by a new prosecutor. Then closed again seven years later, only to recently be opened again. What a farce.

The desperation of the powers that be to separate the accusations against Julian from his publishing work with WikiLeaks was palpable and is evidenced in the wording used by major US news sources when reporting on the situation. A reporter for CBS News, on 1st December 2010 ll, in fact, he’s been put on a Wanted List in Sweden. The prosecutors simply want to question him, no charges have been laid. And it has nothing at all to do with the thousands of documents leaked by WikiLeaks over the last few days.” [Emphasis added]

Maple-Bourbon Wings
(inspired by Fried Maple Bourbon Wings in Food Network October 2017 Issue)
2 tsp adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles)
- Preheat oven at 375C.
- Mince the shallot in a small bowl. Add in maple syrup and bourbon and oil. Stir together. Then add in ketchup and dijon mustard. Mix well. Add adobo sauce if you’d like (we didn’t).
- In a larger bowl, cover the sauce over the chicken wings. If you have time, its best to cover and let marinate it in the fridge for as long as you can.
- In a lined sheet pan, lay out your wings in a single layer. Remember to keep a little distance so it doesn’t stick together. Oil if using aluminum sheet as to not stick. Pour remaining sauce over the wings.
- Put in oven for 25 minutes, turning halfway or until cooked through.
This recipe is pretty good overall. The maple and bourbon mixture is just right. However, you should use shallots and not green onion. We assume that gave it an odd taste that took time to get used to. Ours could benefit with marinating more than 15 minutes or whatever. I usually would take the time to do it or just simmer it in the pan to let the flavors seep into the meat. It was a last minute decision to put this together.
Now to think about what to do with our second batch of chicken wings? Any suggestions?

Methods:(40°C/75% relative humidity), room temperature (25°C) and under refrigeration (2–8°C). Samples were analysed at 3, 7, 10, 14, 21, 35, 49 and 56 days to determine chemical stable physical testing included assessment of weight changes and dissolution behaviour.
Key findings: The results revealed that the sodium valproate content in the tablets remained within the acceptable range of 90–110% under all storage conditions for 56 days. Physical stability, however, was not maintained, with a total weight gain of 12.36% under accelerated conditions over the 56 days. Samples stored under all  the controls, with the amount of sodium valproate in solution following 45 min of dissolution testing below 75% for half of all the intervals determined.
Conclusions: Repackaging sodium valproate tablets into dose administration aids results in unacceptable weight variation and changes in the dissolution profiles.


cosmos, wouldn't you say?
Wiseman, no argument there. I'm simply wondering about the specifics of failure in this particular case.
Shark, true enough.
Cromberg, I'd say rather that all our current religions have been drastically distorted by three hundred years of previously unimaginable abundance. Most of them still have traces of an earlier time in which poverty was accepted as a normal and even a beneficial state, to note only one adaptation to a world of scarcity. It'll be interesting to see whether any of them can reclaim that heritage, or whether they'll be replaced by new faiths that have learned the old lessons for themselves.
Miles, understand who's using or misusing which words and you've just dodged a good three-quarters of all human confusion. Yes, it's a hard slog!
Bill, nah, if I'd hired somebody to play Nestorian's role I'd have found someone with a less interesting religious background. As for the bricks, granted -- I like the chicken metaphor a bit better, though, since it's a perfect example of an open system a la Prigogine, in which the flow of energy through a system creates increased complexity over time.
Kyoto, of course science has its limits, and has been trying to pretend otherwise in recent years. That's standard for this stage of the historical cycle. I'll be talking about that shortly.
Nestorian, thank you. Of course people before about 1700 were all convinced of a young earth; outside of India and Mesoamerica, where the concept of deep time emerged early on, nobody anywhere imagined that the world could be more than a few thousands or tens of thousands of years old. To my mind, the discovery of deep time wasworld, and it's one of the things that I hope will be saved from the wreck of the industrial world; obviously you'd disagree with that, I know.
Atilio, sshh! You'll scare my readers. ;-)
Sgage, that's certainly been my perception all along.
Orc, excellent! The problem of evil can certainly be solved, it just requires a ruthless indifference to what you've sensibly described as a sense of entitlement. Given a lot of the rhetoric that's clustered around Western religions in recent centuries, though, that indifference has been fairly rare.
Chris, I appreciate your willingness to describe your belief in progress as a faith. It is, of course, in the full religious sense of that word. If that's the faith that speaks to you, by all means pursue it; I think you're doomed to disappointment -- over thorium reactors, but more generally over the belief in the omnipotence of the human intellect -- but if that's the path you need to walk, that's the path you need to walk.
John, you're welcome. Predestination always struck me as a bit of a blunt instrument when talking about the interaction between an eternal being and a world in time, but it's one way of trying to get a finite mind around an infinite issue! As for the Ediacaran and Vendian faunas, er, given the extremely fragmentary nature of late Archean fossil deposits, that we've got as much to go on as we do is little short of a miracle -- a point that Darwin discussed in a different context in The Origin of Species.
Robert, thanks for the link!
Iuval, it seems to me that you've neglected the solution that classical theism proposes, which is that of an observer outside of time, capable of perceiving all of time simultaneously, who is also the creator of time and everything in it. The various quantum and relativistic solutions don't apply to a being who created every last quark! As for evolution, I'm not sure why nobody's made such predictions; the two cases I cited -- the emergence of the Eastern coyote, and the explosive radiation of cichlid fishes in the lakes of East Africa -- could easily justify specific predictions, though it would probably take a couple of centuries to see how things come out.
Steve, that reminds me of those eerie late 19th century experiments that found that the human body loses a small but measurable amount of weight at the moment of death...
Yupped, well, an age of unparalleled abundance also managed to pup quite a bit of hardcore fundamentalism, so I'm not sure how much more we have to fear about an age of hardship.
GreenEngineer, I'll be talking about that in an upcoming post. The short form is that it's not actually that hard to figure out what we can know and what we can't. Taking a position on faith about something that can be known by observation and experiment is a shaky decision, and taking a position that contradicts wnormally a very bad idea. There are, however, issues that can't be settled by observation and experiment, where any decision at all must be made on the basis of values instead. Do gods exist? That can't be answered yes-or-no on the basis of any evidence available to us, and yet sweeping consequences unfold from any possible answer. Those are the issues in which faith, guided by values and character, is the only option there is. Does that make things a little clearer?
John Michael--
And of course the amount of weight lost varied from patient to patient, reflecting the quite varied number of devils, gods, ghosts, gouls, and hobgoblins which each individual had accumulated over their lifetime!
Related to the actual topic, and to your comment that when we can know about gods depends on our values, not on experimentation--
I remember a very clear example of this I encountered when I was an Anthropology undergrad. The professor had describe a particular system of divination practiced by the Naskapi Indians called scapulamancy. The scapula of a deer was placed in a fire, where it cracked as it heated. The cracks were thought to form a map-- a message from the deer spirits, presumably-- which the people could follow to find more deer. The result is that the hunters followed the map, and found the deer.
According to the professor, the effect of the divination was to randomize the Naskapi hunting pattern, thus preserving the population of deer in the area. But it occurred to me that it actually didn't matter which explanation you accepted. Was it the randomizing factor, or the message of the spirits, that allowed the hunters to regularly find game? The results are the same whichever explanation you choose! But what's not the same is your view of the world you live in, your own place in it, and the mental tools with which you can navigate it.
Of course, an agile mind would be able to move back and forth between the two, depending upon what was appropriate for each situation.
I think it hurts too much to think about the laws of nature.
Laws of physics? No problem. Industrial civilization *loves* the laws of physics. They're clean, orderly, and predictable. Clockwork. Easily monetized and put on a spreadsheet.
Laws of nature? Too confusing and disorderly. Seems squishy. Mustn't be useful. Might as well ignore them.
Just ignore part of reality because it confuses you.
It helps if you ignore part of reality that you really are quite dependent upon because that just makes sense. What? Huh? I think we have a logic flaw here somewhere.
I'm a fan of God---->Spirit--->Mind---->Life---->Matter, so to speak. Anyhow, I put that continum here because It clearly shows that there's something between the mind and matter part of the line.
Not sure whose idea it was to just want to ignore the entire "Life" thingy in between mind and matter.
Magical thinking (of the worst kind) at its finest.
We are profoundly stupid these days.
And if you don't "believe in God" (whatever that means), you can lop of that part of the line if it aesthetically bothers you (the Buddhist or ethical humanist approach, apparently, and ethical humanist might even just start with mind and lop off the spirit part above it).
It's *still* stupid to ignore the part between mind and matter even if you don't want to talk about the rest of the line.

Ontonagon: When anglers did find fish, they primarily caught lake trout with an occasional coho mixed in. With the cooler water temperatures, anglers had to fish all over to find active fish. The lake trout coming in were loaded up with smelt with the average fish being in the two to four pound range. Walleye fishing on the Ontonagon River has been very hit or miss as anglers were finding a good number of sub legal fish and fighting to find the legals. Trolling and jigging were productive but make sure to bring extra tackle as the river is a snaggy beast!
Keweenaw Bay: In Huron Bay and Keweenaw Bay, anglers had luck both jigging and trolling for lake trout. Most of the fishing was done in deeper water. A few anglers were also able to catch brown trout and coho in Keweenaw Bay. In Big Traverse Bay, anglers reported success with both trolling and jigging as well. Most of the fish caught were in water below 150 feet in this area and those surrounding. Near South Portage Entry, anglers reported a good catch of yellow perch, northern pike, smallmouth bass and rock bass.
Grand Marais: Anglers are mainly targeting lake trout and coho and are doing great with most reporting limits of fish. Anglers are fishing mainly towards Five Mile, AuSable, near the shipping channels, towards Caribou Island and Big Reef. Nice catches of fish averaging around 8 to 12 pounds have been coming off of Big Reef.

Bradstreet Gate, female college friendships, Harvard, Mystery, Robin Kirman
An unsettling novel with an unsettled ending, Bradstreet Gate opens on the tenth anniversary of a murder committed on the Harvard campus.  Robin Kirman then takes her characters back to their more innocent college days, before relationships got ever so complicated and before the murder occurred.  She follows the budding careers of three unlikely friends—the beautiful Georgia, the insecure Charlie, and the awkward Alice. Overlaying their college lives, Kirman adds a master manipulator, Rufus Storrow, an undergraduate lecturer with a murky romanticized past.
The first half of the novel leads up to the mysterious murder, for which no one actually is arrested, although someone certainly is accused.  The remainder of the novel follows Georgia, Charlie, and Alice as they individually take different paths toward adulthood and try to put their college years behind them.  As I type these words, I realize the extreme tension of the narrative is missing from my prose.  Believe me, Robin Kirman constructs a masterful tale of innocence and intrigue, writing page after page that will keep you guessing, and guessing, and guessing.
Who done it?  And why?  And who is hiding what?  And why?  Revelations lead to secrets lead to more revelations lead to more secrets.  With each passing year, Kirman builds more and more intrigue, successfully puzzling the reader as well as the characters.  Much of her success is due to her handling of those characterizations.  The trio, apparently so diverse, is surprisingly dependent on one another.  Whenever a problem arises, they turn immediately turn toward each other, even when they should run the other way.  While reading Bradstreet Gate, I was repeatedly reminded of collegial angst, that dreadful combination of bravado and insecurity, that youthful haste to flee parental oversight along with the need to cling to something familiar and safe.
The Harvard of Georgia, Charlie, and Alice is quite different from my more sheltered college days.  More drugs, more casual sex, more fear of the future.  But the emotional pushes and pulls were still familiar, and I found myself fretting alongside the characters and often feeling their pain.  Kirman has written a novel that is so much more than a mere murder mystery.  Rather, it is a fascination incursion into the minds of young men and women just entering adulthood, stepping confidently forward, slipping backward, sometimes standing still.  I liked the psychology of Bradstreet Gate.  It’s believable, smart, and very, very real.
Rereading what I’ve just written, I realize that I not only haven’t caught the tension, but I also haven’t delved into the actual people involved.  That’s because it is impossible to talk about them without revealing too much plot.  Kirman’s layered construction resembles a set of blocks carefully stacked together.  Remove one, and the whole story tumbles down.  Instead of reading a review, you really need to read Bradstreet Gate itself, Robin Kirman’s very successful novel of anger and anguish, indiscretion, and intrigue.  –  Ann Ronald
Bradstreet Gate is Robin Kirman’s debut novel.

Let's talk more about one thing you just heard there – emergency rental aid. During the pandemic, the federal government offered it in the billions. But now that money is almost all gone. And other pandemic protections, like eviction moratoriums, are mostly a thing of the past, too. So what does all this mean for people vulnerable to eviction in a red hot rental market?
GERSHENSON: One trend, you know, over the last two decades is records from housing courts have been made electronic. It makes it so much easier for landlords to consult them, especially for a landlord to consult records from, you know, completely other different parts of the country. So maybe before, you get an eviction in one city, you move to another city and the landlord doesn't know about your record. That's just not the case anymore, right?So for the last decade or so, it's been increasingly hard to shake an eviction on your record. What's made that even easier is the number of companies that have started up that provide automated tenant screening services. And these are extremely blunt tools where a landlord just enters a name – maybe you don't even have any information about the tenant other than a name – and the software just sort of gives a thumbs up, thumbs down, should you rent to this person?
GERSHENSON: Even, you know, one eviction record on – associated with a name and the software will just say, you don't need to rent to this person, right?

Specifically, the developer and its contractors was asking to begin construction activities at 7 a.m. on weekdays, one hour earlier than Lower Merion’s ordinance permits for noise exceeding certain limits. The ordinance currently permits those activities between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Following lengthy discussion Sept. 14, Lower Merion commissioners opted to grant a very limited exception to noise requirements.
In presenting the request to commissioners, however, township planning staff recommended caution. One concern, also voiced by residents in some other areas of Lower Merion as they learned about the request, was the potential to set a precedent for other large construction projects. “Almost any large construction project could make a similar argument for extending the hours of construction work,” they noted in a memo to the board.
Planning staff said another critical concern was the impact of noise associated with construction activities on residents of homes and upper-story apartments close to the site.
Commissioner George Manos responded, however, that Lower Merion’s noise requirements “should not come as a surprise,” while Commissioner Scott Zelov noted that a number of large projects – including some current ones such as expansion at Bryn Mawr Hospital – have followed the 8 a.m. rule.
On the other hand, Commissioner Steven Lindner, whose ward includes the Cricket Lot, said members of the Ardmore Progressive Civic Association had also discussed the waiver request this week and were opposed. “Trying to keep the code compliant throughout the township” – that is, to enforce it consistently – “is worth standing up for,” he commented.
A concern raised was whether activities might actually creep earlier, as workers arrive and prepare for the day’s job. While representatives for Dranoff’s contractors said they would be vigilant in monitoring activity, they also acknowledged that they would have less control over some deliveries.
Without stronger assurances, Commissioner Josh Grimes was one who said he could support limited exceptions to the noise requirements, but not a blanket waiver. “I think it’s bad precedent,’ he added. “We’re going to hear from everybody else” with a project, he predicted.
Trying to reach a conclusion, Building and Planning Committee Chairman Liz Rogan made a motion to grant a waiver, allowing a 7 a.m. start on weekdays for up to 12 months, which could be rescinded if problems arose. That motion failed on a 6-8 vote.
Vice President Daniel Bernheim then made the successful motion to accept the staff recommendation to deny the waiver, with the one exception to permit the earlier start on specific days “to accommodate large concrete slab pours,” with advance notice.

eventually run manned space mission, and today's flight is just another step in that process.
The monkey rode on a rocket - called a PishGam, or Explorer - reaching a height of 120 kilometers. That height puts the rocket firmly in Earth's thermosphere, but it didn't reach as hi (~370 km). The monkey returned to Earth safely.
In 2010, Iran stated it launched a rocket which held various creatures including a mouse, a turtle and worms. The monkey was the first attempt to send a primate into space, and the success might mean Iran plans a manned space flight soon.

It’s nearly upon us.
American international Tim Weah is headed from PSG to Celtic on loan.
And as much as I love that news, I'm not sure how much he's going to actually play ... and Weah needs to be PLAYING. They've been using Oddsone Edouard up front since Leigh Griffiths landed in rehab and play some version of a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 with only one in the box. There's a chance they use him on the wing, but even then he's got to compete with James Forrest, Scott Sinclair, Callum MacGregor and young Mikey Johnston (who has looked really good in his first season with the senior side) for time. Best guess, they'll blood Weah in on the sub's bench and he'll get 15-20 minutes until Griffiths is back. After that, who knows? Hopefully he grabs this opportunity and runs with it. He's got the physical tools to break into the rotation, but it won't be easy. Celtic are in a real dogfight for top of the Scottish table and that will take heavy priority over player development.
Might have been mentioned elsewhere, but a pair of US national team players will be moving to Europe in this window ... one on paper, one in the flesh.
Zack Steffen, recently named USMNT player of the year for 2018, has signed a time loaded agreement with Manchester City that will finalize in July of 2019. In the meantime he stays with the Crew and will be looking to gain a UK work permit. That's something City's expensive lawyers are working on, but look for him to get some more caps for the US during Camp Cupcake in January. The likelihood is high that Steffen will end up being loaned out after he joins City, with speculation running to Spain or the Netherlands. Either would be a step up from MLS, and thus good for his development.
Tyler Adams, formerly of NY Red Bulls, has signed with RB Leipzig of the Bundesliga, reuniting with his former coach Jesse Marsch who is on staff in Leipzig. The clubs are both part of the RasenBallsport franchise, so this is kind of an in house deal. Adams had emerged as one of the better young two-way midfielders in MLS over the last two seasons and is a product of NY Red Bulls Academy, having joined their age group teams at 12 years old. No speculation yet about RBZ loaning him out, so look for Adams to break in slowly for the rest of the European season (mostly in training, I'd think) before they figure out his place in the pecking order. RBZ has been a develop and move outfit, so while their midfield might look crowded now, that could change quickly. This is a big move for Adams and should be well planned out since RB has been his home since he was a child. IMO he's good enough to play European football, but still needs experience.
The rumors are true.  million. He’ll remain at Dortmund on loan for the rest of the season.
Wonder if Chelsea will try to time load any Hazard sale? If I was Pulisic, I'd want to go ahead and move now. Dortmund buried him on the sub's bench and now prefer Sandro. I mean that's fine, as Sandro is very good, but if you're Pulisic looking at an entire half a season sitting around doing next to nothing, you could be doing that in London just as well, and getting plugged into the training structure and team culture ahead of next season.
Jermain Defoe has completed a medical ahead of an 18 month loan to Rangers.
Bournemouth get striker Dominic Solanke for £19 million and Nathanial Clyne on loan from Liverpool.
Defoe is three years older than Wayne Rooney. Just FYI.
And that's fine. Rangers aren't expecting him to carry the team or anything. They just need a spark off the bench, because they're not deep up front.
Cesc Fabregas joins former teammate Thierry Henry at Monaco on a 3-1/2 year deal. Monaco are 19th in Ligue 1, 4 points from safety and 18 points from a European spot.
Alvaro Morata loan move from Chelsea to Athletico Madrid is just about complete. Atleti has an option to buy in the summer. Chelsea will replace him with Gonzalo Higuain coming from AC Milan, where he’s been playing on loan from Juventus. The loan move will reportedly cost £9 million and Chelsea have an option to buy for an additional £35 million in the summer.
Higuain is always a wild card, but I get the feeling that Morata is absolutely going to tear it up at Atletico Madrid.
Following up on loan move news above, US winger/forward Tim Weah scored off the bench in his Celtic debut in the Scottish Cup this weekend. For now he looks to be spelling Scott Sinclair and James Forrest on the wings, but should play regularly either way. That's MUCH better than sitting in the team lounge in his track suit for PSG.
His first comment upon taking the pitch in Glasgow for training last week ... "Dear God, it's cold." Welcome to Scotland, son.
Cardiff had signed Argentine striker Emiliano Sala from Nantes for a club record £15 million. His plane disappeared off radar near the Channel Islands last night. A search and rescue operation is underway.
That is such sad and weird news. The ocean off of Guernsey is notoriously rough pretty much year round so I don't think anybody holds out a lot of hope for the rescue operation. And a Piper Malibu? That's an egg beater of a plane. My old company used to share ownership of one and we used it for short hops between NC and SC rural airfields. What he was doing flying over the ocean in such a light aircraft, I have no idea.

I still can't believe my luck, last week I received the fantastic news that I had won the lottery! Not just any lottery either, but as it turns out $600,000 dollars in the global online sweepstake lottery. The email apparently has something to do with Nigeria so I tracked down someone from Nigeria to try to find out out my winnings.
I have made a cash deposit for fourteen thousand six hundred dollars, and quit my job in anticipation of my winnings. It's been a few days since I've heard anything from the good people at the Global Online Sweepstakes so I decided to research things out a little more (after I mailed my check of course). Although being on the other end of the world with shipping and all a few days makes sense. Mr. Ali Ibrahim from Nigeria is my point of contact, so unable to find him I did find a nice lady named Ifoma from Nigeria. Since the names both begin with the letter "i" and I have a lot of free time since I quit my job I figured I'd contact her.
Ifoma who hails from the city of Lgaos, Nigheria – which I've heard is a beautiful this time of year even has a webcam. So now I have a face to put to things which is of great comfort to me.
Ifoma wasn't all that helpful, but she was nice and she did offer to take her shirt off.
I'm still not sure, but I think she might know more than she's letting 600,000.00(Six hundredPC/9080118308/04 made available from a total cash prize of US $11 Million dollars, shared amongst the first SIX (6 sites through a computer drawn
So if you know anyone in Nigeria, or who is involved with Global Online Sweetstake Lottery International please contact me immediately, I can't wait to get my money. Since I quit my job time is of the essence.
Please tell me that you were not crazy enough to send these people money, this is a classic Nigerian scam, I thought everyone knew that you do not have to send cash for lottery winnings especially if you know you did not enter a lottery, any fees would have been deducted from your lottery winnings. I'm sorry that you quit your job but you will not be getting any money, I hope that you can get unemployment.

185 new laws are set to take effect in Illinois on Jan. 1, with many of them bringing the state new programs, safety measures or industry-specific policies.
However, there are a few that are a little less traditional.
Here’s a look at five laws set to go into effect in 2023 that make the state that much more unique.
Illinois has plenty of official creatures, ranging from the northern cardinal (state bird) to the state animal (white-tailed deer) to even an official amphibian (eastern tiger salamander).
While the state’s official reptile is the painted turtle, snakes are getting their turn in the spotlight, as the eastern milksnake will now become Illinois’ official snake.
The snakes average 24-to-48 inches in length, and feature large blotches of brown with black borders, separated by gray or white scales.
The snake lives in fields, woodlands and river bottoms, and generally eats small mammals, birds, reptiles and even fishsnake got its name because people mistakenly believed that it could milk cows.
Most of the sweet corn production in the United States occurs in the upper Midwest, with the state of Illinois providing “an optimal setting for growing sweet corn with its deep fertile soils, moderate rainfall and temperate weather,” according to lawmakers.
Located within the New Salem historic site, where Abraham Lincoln once lived, is the “Theatre in the Park,”state theatre of Illinois.
For a full list of laws that will go into effect in 2023, you can visit the Illinois Senate Democrats’ website.

Halloween happens to be one of my favourite celebrations of the year, though it may have something to do with it also being my birthday – hence the witch logo for the blog.

10) The Bell Witch by Brent Monahan – Well I couldn't leave out a book about a witch now could I!This book is based on the legend that is 'Old Kate' in Tennessee, USA. Some people are believers, some people are sceptics – which side do you stand on?
