The diplomatic circles in Colombo were buzzing last week as to why the United Nations Secretary General Ban-Ki-moon, suddenly telephoned President Maithripala Sirisena.
Though Ban Ki-moon had reportedly praised Maithri’s Government over the phone, the UN Chief’s main idea has been to confirm whether an election would be held before the UNHRC sessions in September. It was reported in the media that Maithri had told the UN Chief that he would attend the next UNHRC sessions with the representatives of a new government. That indicated that Maithri and Ban Ki-moon had discussed the issue of a general election.
A few weeks ago during a Cabinet meeting, Foreign Affairs Minister, Mangala Samaraweera, and Health Minister Dr. Rajitha Senaratna clashed over the issue of an early general election. Mangala stated to the Cabinet that Kerry and the International Community have stressed the need to hold a general election before the UNHRC September sessions. Rajitha retorted that a decision on holding a general election was Maithripala’s business and not a business of Kerry.
Maithri confidantes seem to be of the opinion that Kerry and Ban Ki-moon are pressurizing Maithri to hold an election based on the interests of the UNP. If that is true, Kerry and Ban Ki-moon are in a difficult situation to roll up the war crimes allegations thrown at Sri Lanka during the previous Rajapaksa administration. Kerry worked hard to prevent further action against Sri Lanka at the last UNHRC sessions in March this year. He managed to put off the war crimes report against Sri Lanka till September.
The move was postponed upon a pledge that Sri Lanka will implement a domestic mechanism to probe alleged war crimes before September. Though Maithri told media heads at a meeting that such a mechanism would be put in place shortly, it is yet to become a reality. Maithri may have indicated that he would attend the September sessions with the belief that he would be able to further prevent the report against his country being tabled. On the contrary, UNHRC sources say that even John Kerry will not be able to stop the tabling of that report in September.
The UNHRC report on war crimes is to be handed over to Colombo in August. There is also a fear that it would leak even before that deadline through the international media. When the report is made public pro-Mahinda faction and patriots may play the ‘patriotic card’ to reverse the victory of Maithri at the presidential election, suspects the international media. If that report charges the top military officials during the war period, Maithri’s Government may be at crossroads in the midst of a general election.
If Maithri holds an early election and forms a stable government, he could draw up plans to face such challenges. Though Maithri has an idea to set up a domestic mechanism before September and if that is done before the conduct of a general election, the pro-Mahinda faction would try to capitalize on such a move. Mahinda loyalists will also try to interpret that Maithri was trying to persecute gallant war heroes.
Maithri buys time to hold a general election to stabilize himself in the SLFP and weaken the Mahinda loyalists. But if the war crimes issue becomes the main issue before a general election, the benefit of that situation would be grabbed by Mahinda loyalists. If that happens, Maithri will weaken not only within his political party but at national level.
Come September, Kerry or Maithri?

Even with errors for the two times Weihegold OLD and Isabell Werth are just collecting so many 8,0, 8,5 and 9,0 marks and then also with room for weaker extensions and half passes, and then today again with more times 10 for the final. At the same time the sharpness is for a split second lost towards the final halt, as if Weihe said “can I stop now?”, but at same time Isabell just ask Weihe to keep on to finish the job - It´s all about the timing.
For both Schneider and Langehanenberg it was not their best performances, both with minor errors.
Dream Boy and Minderhoud showing an overall sharp test with a few minor things. Halt with rein back with 6 steps backwards, small tension at the end of the extended walk when Minderhoud is picking up the reins Dream Boy is ready, and with an error at the end of the one times. Very nice final and the stallion showing so much elasticity all the way. From kiss and cry Gal is showing Minderhoud to smile - this was a really nice test.
Delaunay OLD with Kittel has really settled at the top level delivering +75% and today without exception.
Best test ever from now 17 year old Vancouver K and Judy Reynolds, in terms of the piaffe tours, as they are often from H2R point of view shown as 100% controlled tension, today with very nice qualities.
Blue Hors Don Olymbrio with Daniel Bachmann Andersen showed a strong test, unfortunately something dangerous showed up in the corner at K, but Daniel managed very well except from at few spooky moments which of course was reflected at the scoreboard. “Expect for the “interesting” part, I’m very happy about his development,” says Daniel.
H2R comments during the test: Blue Don Olymbrio DEN - good halt, super extension, nice flow go for half passes good crossing, bit open halt super nice rein back, nice transitions, lack bit energy for piaffe but keeps the rhythm nicely, good passage, good walk tour, 2nd piaffe 15 steps and out bit tension from Don O but stays, nice transition to canter, big big eyes for the corner, nice big 2 times, lost canter after extended canter in the dangerous corner but did change, bit unbalanced zig-zag, Daniel attacks the 1 times successful (towards the dangerous corner), good pirouettes, good extended trot towards K, super smooth final centerline.

Turtle Journal and Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary led a November cruise to Billingsgate Shoals at the mouth of Wellfleet Bay as part of the Stranding Weekend Program offered by Mass Audubon. After completing an afternoon of quahog harvesting in the bay, Captain Rick Merrill skippered the Naviator into Wellfleet Harbor to pick us up for the cruise. During spring and summer, the Naviator conducts exceptional marine life cruises with Mass Audubon naturalists aboard to help visitors explore the wildlife of Wellfleet Bay. Rick also charters the Naviator for fishing trips during season.
Turtle Journal’s Sue Wieber Nourse and Mass Audubon Dennis Murley, Stranding Weekend instructors, helped participants identify significant aspects of the Wellfleet Bay habitat and pointed out various wildlife species during the cruise. Collectively, they bring two lifetimes of experience as scientist, researcher, naturalist, adventurer, educator, conservationist, rescuer and explorer of Cape Cod geology, geography, history, flora and fauna.
We met on Wellfleet Pier a little after 3 pm. Stranding Weekend partcipants were joined by other Mass Audubon visitors for a cruise of Wellfleet Bay. Before boarding the Naviator, Dennis Murley reviewed safety procedures, introduced instructors and provided a preview of what to expect. While an important focus of the Stranding Weekend was tropical and semi-tropical sea turtles, the layered dress of participants clearly indicated that this cruise was anything but a tropical event.
Winds blew from the north bringing in a gripping Arctic chill, especially when the boat cleared Wellfleet’s protected harbor and tacked into the breeze. The Naviator backed from its slip and cruised by the working fishing fleet tied to the town pier. We cruised west through the channel, pointed at Griffin Island (right) and Great Island (left), connected by the low tumbolo called the Gut. Once past the breakwater, the Naviator turned south (left) toward Billingsgate Shoals.
When we were heading north, the apparent wind transformed conditions aboard ship to a Shackleton expedition. Passengers ducked low under protective bulwarks and huddled together for warmth.
In Search of Tropical Sea Turtles!
They wrapped themselves in winter scarfs and hoodies, thrust hands deep inside the warmest pockets, and they endured … in best Shackleton tradition.
But when the boat pointed south with the wind to our backs, decks came alive. Binoculars scanned the horizons for shorebirds and water fowl.
Loons, gulls, gannets, ducks, geese and many more species dotted the horizon, which had begun to turn pinkish orange as an early dusk swept over Cape Cod Bay.
Billingsgate Shoals rise from Cape Cod Bay each low tide. A century ago this once 60-acre island was still inhabited as a fishing community. But the ravages of erosive storms sank the island below Cape Cod Bay; the last lighthouse abandoned and destroyed in 1915. Today, Billingsgate is sometimes called the Atlantis of Cape Cod by oral historians and folklorists. Day trippers boat to the shoals to use its exposed tidal flats for picnicking and shellfishing. Eel grass beds around the shoals are rich in striped bass schoolies and blues in season. In the “off season,” another set of tourists arrive to exploit the low-tide exposed sandbars: gray seals. As we approached the shoals on Saturday, hundreds of seals, backlit by the rapidly setting sun, had already claimed prime spots on just emerging sands.
Hauled out on the tidal flats, plump, well nourished seals spread their ample bodies across the sandbar, occasionally belly-crawling a few feet left or a couple of inches right or flopping a bit up or a tad down to optimize their level of comfort. In the fast flowing current around the island, seals played and wrestled and surfed. A few curious and courageous individuals spy-hopped their way toward the Naviator to examine the exotic critters (us) basking on this mysterious floating island. Come to think of it, with layers of clothing triple and quadruple wrapped around our bodies, perhaps we too waddled like seals as we spy-hopped above our bulwarks to examine the exotic creatures luxuriating on their mysterious rising island. Yes, I suppose the correct definition of ”specimen” and “observer” depends on which side of the zoo’s bars you’re occupying.
Shackleton would be proud that we returned to harbor with a full complement of crew, eager to endure yet another “on the edge” adventure during Stranding Weekend.
Saturday morning of Stranding Weekend opened with a beach patrol. Participants and instructors vanned to Duck Harbor in northwest Wellfleet on Cape Cod Bay. With winds blowing north-northwest, the group trekked south from Duck Harbor to Great Island. This long peninsula protects Wellfleet Bay to the east from prevailing storms that march relentlessly west-to-east across New England. It also “catches” cold-stunned sea turtles as they are tossed by the prevailing winds onto the shoreline of Cape Cod Bay.
Duck Harbor is no more, but perhaps may rise again. Around the turn of the last century, the flow of salt water from Wellfleet Bay and the Herring River was choked by a dike in Chequessett Neck. The former islands of Griffin and Bound Brook and several others, which once were separated by salt marshes and brackish branches of the Herring River, exist now in name and memory only. The photograph above looks north toward Bound Brook “Island” with Duck “Harbor” only imagined in the darkened, low-lying vegetation where toads now emerge in spring rains. Perhaps, after decades of “planning,” the offending dike will finally be replaced. Marshes will flourish again as habitat for dwindling populations of herring and terrapins, and a critical eco-system will be restore.
What’s That in the Bay?
On reaching the beach we surveyed the coastal scene. Provincetown, distinctively emblematic with its Pilgrim Monument, rose above bay waters to our right. Invisible across the cloud covered bay lay Plymouth where Pilgrims settled after their brief stay on Outer Cape Cod. I guess the Cape had already become a “relaxing vacation spot” nearly four hundred years ago.
“What’s that?” exclaimed the chorus of adventurers as binoculars sprung to the ready.
What’s That on the Beach?
Under the storm-tossed wrack line, the place where seaweed, flotsam and jetsam accumulate with the tide, resides a museum of discoveries for the inquisitive explorer to investigate. A soft-shelled rock crab, a bit lethargic from the cold, was excavated from the wrack. Recently molted, its shell was still soft to the touch and brought out stories about steaming bushels of Chesapeake Bay blue crabs and soft-shelled crab sandwiches.
We saw another specimen of the Atlantic rock crab during our afternoon cruise in Wellfleet Bay. The captain had been dragging for quahogs and brought up a lonely crab that sat atop fishing gear in the stern of the boat.
After photo-documenting this obliging specimen, we returned it to the bay.
Each field school participant enjoyed the opportunity to examine the Atlantic rock crab before we tucked it safely back under the protective wrack.
A bit further down the beach we discovered two molted crab shells that illustrated the differences between the Atlantic rock crab and a European bio-invader, the green crab (Carcinus maenus). And, yes, it is just as “mean” as the pronunciation of its scientific name might suggest.
The blanketing wrack offered a hidden encyclopedia of coastal species, and everyone joined in the act, lifting, poking and prodding eel grass piles for discoveries. As new specimens arose, instructors Sue Wieber Nourse and Dennis Murley would cite their natural history, enriched with exotic tales of lore for each species.
A blood ark appeared. This interesting bivalve is one of the few mollusks that have red blood; hence the name. It sometimes goes by the title of Bloody Clam.
Ironically, when viewed from this angle, the “Blood” Ark takes on a heart shape!
Sue Wieber Nourse found “mermaid’s purses” mixed among the eel grass mat. The mermaid’s purse, also called the devil’s purse, is actually an egg casing for a skate.
And so the morning progressed. From discovery to discovery this band of intrepid adventurers explored the wind-swept beach.
A decorator worm proved the next specimen.
This invertebrate critter appears to adorn itself with every tiny bit of broken shell and debris that can be found along the shore.
Dennis Murley stopped the group at one of several dead eider carcasses that we discovered along this stretch of beach. He talked about the research that was ongoing to determine the cause of these deaths, which considering the thousands upon thousands of eiders that occupy the bay at this time of the year, may be from multiple causes. Several flocks of hundreds of eiders skimmed across the wave tops as we walked the beach. Research on this matter continues.
Tiny plump sanderlings worked the entire length of the beach from Duck Harbor to Great Island. They flitted along the shore a few feet in front of the group, working in the waves for morsels of food. When we approached too closely, they’d take flight and work the beach behind us.
Gulls of several varieties hunkered in the protective lee of towering coastal banks. On occasion, these apparently well fed birds waddled to the water and half-heartedly poked for something munchable. For the most part, though, they seemed to enjoy the spectacle of energetic humans plodding down the beach.
Those towering banks on the Outer Cape always remind me of the Egyptian pyramids with their appearance of resilience and permanence. Yet, coastal banks and dunes are actually the opposite of rigid pyramids. They maintain their permanence through resilience as a soft impact barrier to the relentless onslaught of wind and sea. As Dennis noted to the group, the “angle of repose” remains constant. Sea and surf eat away at the bottom of the bank, and the top gradually falls to assume the same angle of repose as the leading edge of the bank moves slowly, constantly and inexorably inland. Resilience holds true; permanence is an illusion. And as if to underscore that point, the remnants of a coastal cottage lies destroyed in the advance of the sea and the retreat of the bank.
Maybe a hundred feet seaward of the collapsed foundation lies the remains of well pipes that had plunged deeply into the aquifer to provide drinking water for this coastal cottage. Images serve as a clear reminder of the transitory nature of human imprint on the ever changing landscape of Outer Cape Cod. Created by the retreating Laurentide glacier 15,000 years in the past, the Cape will inevitably succumb to the advance.
Doing our small part to undo some of the human impact on this fragile habitat, the team collected debris as we patrolled the beach from Duck Harbor to Great Island.
Turtle Journal cruised on the Naviator Saturday afternoon with participants of Mass Audubon’s Stranding Weekend Field School to spend quality time with hundreds of gray seals hauled out on the rising sand bars that used to be Billingsgate Island at the mouth of Wellfleet Harbor.
The most awe-inspiring, the most beautiful, the most powerful and the most dangerous aspect of sea turtle rescues is the night patrol, when gentle dunes are transformed by shadow and wind and tide into a dream-like world of surreal shapes and psychedelic colors. Daytime familiar vanishes; nighttime mystery appears. As westerly gales toss breakers against the beach, sound itself is altered and dominated by rumbles and crashes and whistles that flood the air.
Friday night, participants in Mass Audubon’s Stranding Weekend, which was co-led by the Turtle Journal team, headed to Duck Harbor in northwest Wellfleet for their first sea turtle patrol. After a candlelight dinner in the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, they learned about cold-stunned sea turtles and various other marine species that strand on bayside beaches in autumn. Now they were ready for their first field action.
While no cold-stunned sea turtles were discovered, various critters were unmasked beneath the seaweed wrack. Sue Wieber Nourse found a horseshoe crab molt from a juvenile specimen that offered a perfect lesson plan on this important tidal species which has contributed so much to medical research and scientific discovery, including at least one Nobel prize. A channeled whelk casing opened another lesson as the group marched northward to the cadence of the pounding surf.
Nearly an hour later, as we gathered at Ryder Beach to review our discoveries, another magnificent shooting star exploded across the night sky as if to punctuate this unique moment we had all experienced on the darkened, windswept beaches of Outer Cape Cod.

This one is special to me because it is about holding on to the memory of my grandfather through a physical living connection. I have a pair of geraniums that are in a continuous line, by cuttings, from the original geraniums by grandfather planted in 1962, the year of my birth.
I have written about 100 haiku. I try to write every day, not only haiku but other poetry and prose. I take inspiration from the little things all around – natural and human. Everyday things that make life beautiful and meaningful on an immediate, constant basis.
I like haiku because the length and structure forces you to think and be creative within a structure. The exercise of writing haiku makes my free-form verse better because of the thinking and vocabulary extension involved.
No, but plan to explore them when I can concentrate on the form.
52 Haiku is available on Smashwords.com as a free ebook download. My books Conditions and Transitions both contain some haiku, amid mostly other forms of poetry. They are both available as ebooks from Smashwords.com and as paperbacks from most online retailers.

Moab, Utah, has been a mountain biking mecca since the creation of the sport. The unique terrain and stunning landscapes offer themselves to any number of outdoor adventures, but the area's veins of Navajo sandstone create a mountain biking experience that makes riding in this area distinct from anywhere else in the world. Shod horses that were originally used to traverse this area had a difficult time finding a good grip on this "slickrock," but the reality for mountain bikes is entirely different; a mountain bike tire will firmly grab the rock, leaving you with the impression that you are riding down a concrete mountain.
That said, it is important to note that Moab is geared toward the cross-country style origins of the sport. Whatever trails you choose to ride, the better condition you are in for pedaling, the more fun you’ll be able to have. Even the more downhill-oriented trails still require a significant amount of pedaling effort. However, if you have pedaling prowess, you’ll find the trails technically challenging and the views absolutely unforgettable. In fact, the sheer beauty of the landscape is nearly impossible to describe. You'll see the white-capped La Sal mountain range looming over the deep red and white sandstone hills and hoodoos that are accented by the green junipers and cacti. Even with an ambitious itinerary, you’ll want to take plenty of time to appreciate your surroundings.
Moab has hundreds of miles of trails and endless areas to explore, and here are a few areas that you’ll want to especially note.
In addition, there are other trails in the network. The Moab Brand Trails are a great starting place and make for a fabulous family ride. They offer beginner friendly rides that get you started on slickrock, rock gardens, and the intermittently sandy and hard-packed soil that you’ll find throughout the area.

Amasa Back Trails: Hugging the cliffs on the Captain Ahab Trail. Photo by Brant Hansen.
If you follow the Colorado River to the west of town you'll find the Amasa Back Trails. These trails are a little more remote and definitely not as family friendly, but they will still have plenty of traffic on them. Hymasa, the main climbing singletrack, follows the Amasa Back jeep trail up the canyon where you’ll eventually peak with stunning views in all directions. At the top of the mesa you’ll find a variety of trails, but many choose to either descend on Hymasa or to hit Captain Ahab. Be aware, Captain Ahab is a descending only trail, and it is one of the most technical descents in the area. It is by no means a “downhill” trail, however, so you should be prepared to do plenty of pedaling. With that in mind, the actual descent itself is a riot of a time that experienced riders will enjoy.
On the east side of town lies the Sand Flats Recreation area, which contains the Slickrock Trail itself. Slickrock is the most well-known trail in Moab, and it is one of the best known trails in the world. As its name would suggest, the trail consists almost entirely of Navajo sandstone. It is a long, undulating, pedally ride with stunning vistas, challenging climbs, and fun descents. It is not overly technical or difficult, but beginner riders may consider starting on the practice loop. The practice loop itself is a fun ride that offers many of the benefits of the full trail such as amazing vistas without the large commitment.
Finally, no Moab overview would be complete without at least mentioning the Whole Enchilada, sometimes referred to as Porcupine Rim. This is a series of connecting trails that offers a 33-mile descent from the La Sal mountain range down into Moab itself. Depending on the time of year you go, various parts of the trail may be closed due to snow. However, the lower Porcupine Rim trails are accessible late into the fall and early in the spring. This is the kind of trail that is definitely better to experience than to read about. Suffice it to say that the descents are long, fast, challenging, and thoroughly enjoyable, the views are absolutely stunning, and many riders consider this the best trail they have ever ridden. There are multiple companies that offer relatively cheap shuttles to the uppermost section of the trail that is accessible whatever time of year you choose to ride. This is an absolute must do for any mountain biker.

Isoliner is the ArcGIS extension for make grids and points theme with interpolate by Kriging's and triangulation method. Last version of extension include Slide Analyst as free function.
Isoliner include additional 3D functions, interpolation by features, generation of random points.
Create GRID and points feature class by selected source layer and Z attribute.
Kriging is an advanced geostatistical procedure that generates an estimated surface from a scattered set of points with z values. Unlike the other interpolation methods, Kriging involves an interactive investigation of the spatial behavior of the phenomenon represented by the z values before the user selects the best estimation method for generating the output surface.
Select point, line or polygon feature class from current document.
Select Z attribute from list of fields for current feature class.
The Variogram method dialog box has several models to choose from. When the Kriging method is set to Ordinary, the available models are Spherical, Circular, Exponential, Gaussian, and Linear. When the Kriging method is set to Universal, the available models are Linear with linear drift and Linear with quadratic drift. The Universal Kriging types assume that there is a structural component present and that the local trend varies from one location to another.
The advanced parameters allow control of the variogram used for Kriging. A default value for Lag size is initially set to the default Output cell size. For Major range, Partial sill, and Nugget, a default value will be calculated internally if nothing is specified.
The optional output variance of prediction raster contains the kriging variance at each output raster cell. Assuming the kriging errors are normally distributed, there is a 95.5 percent probability that the actual z-value at the cell is the predicted raster value, plus or minus two times the square root of the value in the prediction raster.
Calculate attributes density and relations.

Last week saw a full-house at the first Reader's Feast event, a collaboration of magazine Dumbo Feather, The Sustainable Table and chef Matt Wilkinson.
In a significant event at Dumbo Feather HQ in St Kilda last week, the women behind the group The Sustainable Table joined forces with the magazine and Pope Joan owner/chef Matt Wilkinson in the inaugural Reader's Feast, an event highlighting issues surrounding food sustainability by focusing on how every day actions can make great changes.
On arrival, each guest was invited to eat dinner from a table abundant with local Victorian produce – cheeses, salmon, beef, vegetables, honey, dips, mustards and oils – delicious. As a condition of entry to the event, each guest was asked to bring a local, seasonal ingredient, either from their garden, local shop or market. This saw another table piled high with fruits, vegetables and some cheeses – and was where Wilkinson came in. The table of donated ingredients was his mystery box and he cooked four dishes, all the while entertaining and informing the sell-out crowd.
The evening’s discussion moved from produce, heirloom vegetables and farmers markets, to how to tackle supermarkets and cook particular ingredients. But the fundamental issue always came back to the consumer and how the choices we make determine what’s on the shelves.

Self-righteousness -- Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees!--Luke 12:1.
The most righteous person there at the Temple that day was not the very holier-than-thou, self-righteous, hypocritical Scribe and Pharisee who kept the jot and the tittle of the law, who even when he went to pick mint and anise out of his garden, would pluck off ten percent to make sure that he tithed properly and all that sort of thing. (Matthew 23:23) But Jesus had to tell His disciples, "This seemingly righteous Pharisee is not the most righteous!--But the more righteous of the two is this poor publican and sinner!"--A tax collector, who to the Jews was the worst kind of a character they could possibly imagine! They were usually extortionists, cheaters and robbers of the poor!--Franchised tax collectors for the Romans, considered traitors to their brethren! The Romans would tell'm how much taxes they needed and how much people had to pay Caesar, and then they could charge whatever they wanted to more than that for their OWN income. So they were hated by their Jewish brethren, considered the scum of the Earth!
So here was this poor tax collector in the Temple praying, "Lord, be merciful unto me, a sinner!" And what did Jesus say to these Jewish followers of His? "Which one do you think is the most righteous?--It's this poor tax collector who knows he's a sinner and is asking for forgiveness!"
In the sight of God there is no worse pride than self-righteous religious pride!--The self-righteous, Pharisaical, proud, religious person who "thanks God he's not as other men" or as other women, and looks down on them because they don't have as much faith as HE has, and they don't do this or they don't do that!--Those self-righteous proud hypocrites who are so proud of their own success and righteousness and look down on the other guys! They are the most hard and intolerant people that you could possibly run into! They have no MERCY, no compassion, no sympathy for the poor guys who really haven't got it, can't make it, etc.
Everybody's bad except those who have faith and have the goodness of GOD, the love of GOD and the righteousness of GOD! God's Word says that all other righteousness, Man's righteousness, your own righteousness, your own goodness, is like filthy, sickening menstruous RAGS! "We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags!" (Isa.64:6)--In other words, God says if you don't have HIS goodness, which is true goodness, true holiness, real love, real mercy, you have nothing, even WORSE than nothing!--You're a filthy rag!
When I looked up the Hebrew word "ayd," which is translated "filthy" in our King James version of the Bible, I found that it literally means "soiled or filthy from the menstrual flux"! In other words, God's Word literally says that YOUR righteousness, YOUR goodness, is like filthy, menstruous rags!--Like a woman's used Kotex!--That's how God looks on the so-called "good" people, the people who pride themselves in being better than others: "I'm good, I'm better than you, I don't do this, I don't do that!" Man's own righteousness, self-righteousness, Man's own self-goodness, in the nostrils of God stinks like a woman's Kotex! That's how bad He made it sound!
So who were really the filthiest sinners of all in Jesus' time?--The poor filthy publicans and "bad" people who prayed, "Lord, be merciful to me a sinner!"--Or the hypocritical Pharisaical religious systemites who said, "We don't need cleaning up!"--And crucified Him for exposing their well-covered filth!--They were the filthiest of all!--And the same is true TODAY!--The WORST filth in God's eyes is that God-damned self-righteousness and hypocrisy!
He told them to their faces, "Verily I say unto you, the Publicans and the harlots will go into the Kingdom of God before you!" (Matthew 21:31) And He told His disciples, "For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven!" (Matthew 5:20)--In other words, unless you're better than THEY are, you'll never get to Heaven! And the only way you can be better than they is to have CHRIST'S righteousness. Because they were as good as you could get in the natural without the help of the Lord, which was pretty bad!
It almost makes you feel better to know you're bad, to admit you're not good. After all, God said so, nobody's good! That's why the worst kind of people in the sight of God are the self-righteous hypocrites who pretend to be good and look down on everybody else!

This is the other look that I put together with the Boohoo shirt dress from my last post- rather than wear it as a top or a cardi-esque thing, I thought it worked quite well as a top! The outfit ended up as a little bit of a witchy take on the whole tartan/clueless thing that’s been going on- I just buttoned the dress to where it met the skirt, then I used my belt to hold it in place at the sides so it would frame my tartan skirt (a little half price bargain I picked up in the Topshop sale- couldn’t resist!), and float behind me as I move ^.^.
Hope you all have a lovely Sunday night and start to the week!

FREEDOM: Most Americans understand freedom of speech and freedom of the press, but freedom of information is a more remote idea. How would you explain in laymans terms the relation of freedom of information to the freedoms of speech and the press?
MR. ADLER: I think the primary difference is that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are guaranteed constitutional rights expressly provided for in the First Amendment, in the Bill of Rights.
Freedom of informationalthough it is a policy that we believe underlies the First Amendment, which clearly contemplates that freedom of expression and freedom of the press will be primarily to discuss the activities of the federal government or relation to government generallyis not specifically provided for in the Constitution.
FREEDOM: What stands out in your mind as the major accomplishment of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)?
The most important thing the FOIA has done is, by its mere existence, it has changed the attitude of the federal bureaucracy with respect to responsibility to the American public to respond to requests for information generally, and to respond to requests for access to specific records in federal agencies.
Although the FOIA does not provide, of course, that you can specifically invoke the Act and trigger a series of procedures requiring the agency to consider your request and to respond as to whether or not theyre going to release the information to you, or whether the information falls within one of the nine exemptions for disclosure, just the fact of the existence of the statutewithout even having to resort to ithas meant that a great deal of information which in decades past might not have been accessible to the American public is routinely available, because federal agency employees understand the public now has a right of access to those records.
FREEDOM: Critics of the Act say it promotes government in a fishbowl. What do you say about that?
MR. ADLER: Well, that was the original criticism of the statute when it was first enacted in 1966. During the hearings that led up to the enactment of the Freedom of Information Act, there wasnt a single agency in the federal government that supported the FOIA.
They said, for example, why is it only the executive branch, why not the legislative branch or the federal judiciary which is subject to this requirement? And of course the reason is because the legislative branch and the federal judiciary to a much larger extent than the executive branch already operate within the public eye.
Each individual should know that he does have statutory rights which implement important constitutional rights that he has to obtain information about the federal government, because it is his government.
For example, in Congress, most hearings are open to the public to attend. When a senator or a congressman proposes a bill for a new law, that bill is accessible to any member of the public, who may obtain a copy of it.
When committees report legislation, their reports explaining the intent behind the legislation are available to the public, and the same is true with enacted laws.
The same thing is true with respect to the federal judiciary. Only on rare occasions are federal court proceedings closed to the public.
This notion that it promotes government in a fishbowl is not really true, because the act is not only an authorization for the right of public access to records, but it also at the same time is a right for government agencies to deny access to certain public records. There are nine specific exemptions from that disclosure requirement. Those nine exemptions are relied on quite heavily by agencies in the scope of their work as basically codifying the legitimate confidentiality interests of government that Congress recognizes as being necessary to the workings of the various agencies.
FREEDOM: What is the advantage to the individual American taxpayer to having a strong Freedom of Information Act?
MR. ADLER: The American taxpayer pays millions and possibly even billions of dollars per year for agency public information programs which result in the taxpayer learning about things only when the agency wants the taxpayer to know about them.
Not surprisingly, that means that most of the information that agencies put out to the taxpayer is information which puts the agencys performance in its best light.
The FOIA allows, however, any member of the public to obtain access to agency records that he or she specifically wants to seewhether or not the agency particularly wants these made publicly available.
That serves as a very important check on government accountability, because although we have oversight committees in Congress, we have the federal courts, we have the separation of powers, the independent checks and balances system that the Constitution sets up which is supposed to provide for the best accountability of government to our publicI dont think anyone, any member of the public, would be willing to allow any portion of our federal government to play a 100 per cent surrogate role for the public itself in being able to determine public accountability with respect to the performance of government.
The Freedom of Information Act has been an invaluable tool in helping the press, for example, to serve as the public surrogate in examining and closely scrutinizing the workings of government to determine whether or not government is acting in the public interest.
FREEDOM: How can citizens stay informed of any developments or news regarding the FOIA?
MR. ADLER: Generally, they should be able to find out about them in press reports, because the press naturally keeps on top of the subject, but if they are concerned about these particular issues, they can always call the ACLU, and the ACLU will be able to provide information on whats going on in Washington and how they can plug into that process.
FREEDOM: To sum up, what could the individual American do to ensure that we maintain a strong FOIA?
MR. ADLER: There are two things.
One is that each individual should know their rights. They should know that they do have statutory rights which implement important constitutional rights that they have to obtain information about the federal government, because it is their government.
The second thing they should do is inform their members of Congress that they think these are very important rights which must be protected and enhanced through legislation. They should urge their members of Congress to oppose any efforts to cut back on public rights of access to government information.

A master’s degree is an advanced graduate degree that shows a high level of mastery in a particular subject area. You may choose to pursue a master’s degree in order to improve your opportunities for advancement in a particular field, to increase your earning potential, or to improve your appeal as a job candidate.
Some jobs and leadership roles may require a master’s degree as a minimum qualification for employment. For instance, in many states, a master’s degree is required to earn a license to teach in public school or become a practicing social worker. As a graduate student, you’ll work to improve your knowledge and technical skills in a specialized area, whether your focus is the arts, humanities, healthcare, the natural sciences or a host of other fields.
Your advanced degree may also enable you to bypass entry level jobs in your chosen field and immediately land in higher paying roles with greater opportunities for professional growth. Most senior management and senior professional jobs require an advanced degree.
In addition, if you plan on eventually earning a doctorate in your field, earning a master’s degree first may help reduce your credit requirements on the way to a doctoral degree. That said, you typically won’t need a master’s degree to enter into a doctoral program.
If you already know what you’re looking for, check out our top Master Degrees Programs.
A master’s degree is a graduate level education program that gives you an opportunity to focus on specific subjects within your concentration. The typical master’s degree program will require you to complete between 30 and 60 credits, which usually amounts to a commitment of between one and two years.
Some schools also offer programs that allow you to bundle your bachelor’s and master’s degree programs into a single integrated program. Admission for such programs can be quite competitive and completion will usually entail an accelerated work schedule in advanced classes. However, if your school offers this option and you’re up for the challenge, you may be able to complete both degree programs in approximately four to five years. This is a great way to save time and money on your way to an advanced degree.
However you approach it, you master’s degree program will include demanding coursework, research, an internship, comprehensive exams and possibly a thesis, dissertation or capstone project. Some programs allow students to take written comprehensive exams or other types of writing projects instead of providing a master’s thesis. Service-oriented programs such as a social work or public administration may also include a practicum or an internship.
If this sounds like the path for you, start your search by checking out our top Master Degrees Programs..
You can also jump to this year’s list of the 50 Best Online Colleges & Universities 2019 and see who’s offering a master’s degree in your concentration.
The Master of Arts encompasses most liberal arts, humanities and social sciences. This can include subjects like English, sociology, political science, communications, education, and history, to name just a few of many options. You’ll typically approach your concentration through a combination of lectures, seminars, exams, and dissertation work.
The Master of Science encompasses most STEM field subjects, including mathematics and the “hard sciences,” like chemistry, physics and engineering. Your program will typically include a significant research component, and may combine lecture-based courses with laboratory or field work.
There are also innumerable discipline-specific master’s degrees. Some, like a Master of Linguistics or a Master of Economics, may fall under one of the two categories above. Others, like a Master of Business Administration (MBA), a Master of Fine Arts (MFA), or a Master of Social Work (MSW), fall into their own specialized categories, and carry their own unique requirements.
The master’s degree is often a pathway to greater advancement and opportunity. Some career paths may require a master’s degree as a minimum qualification for employment and practice. Among the fields that usually require an advanced or graduate degree are public education, professional engineering, social work, public accounting, occupational therapy, and an array of jobs in nursing and healthcare.
In other fields, like business, computer science, or fine arts, your master’s degree will at once provide a concentrated education in your chosen field and a credential that can gain you access to administrative, leadership, and research roles. In these fields, earning a master’s degree can unlock greater long-term earning potential.
And if you plan on continuing your education at the doctoral level, you’ll likely need a master’s degree first. In most cases, this is a basic threshold for admission to a PhD program.
Individuals interested in enrolling in a master’s degree program will typically need a bachelor’s degree. Your bachelor’s degree doesn’t necessarily have to be in the area that you plan to study at the master’s level. However, some programs do require candidates to complete specific undergraduate prerequisite courses.
Many schools also require candidates to send their transcripts (with grades), provide an essay, sit for an interview and take the GRE or GMAT exam. The GRE tests basic knowledge, including math, verbal, analytical and experimental sections. Many business schools prefer the GMAT exam, which includes math, verbal and analytical writing sections.
For some master’s degrees, you may also be required to have amassed some amount of professional experience to earn admission. For instance, many MBA and Masters of Engineering programs require you to have spent between two and three years honing your craft in the field before submitting an application.
The cost of your master’s degree can vary significantly based on a number of factors, including the type of school you choose to attend, the type of degree you pursue and how long it takes to complete your studies. As with undergraduate school, you can save significantly on the cost of a master’s degree by attending schools that are public, in-state and/or online.
On the low end, you could pay roughly $10,000 a year for a solid public, online or in-state master’s degree program, whereas a vaunted private graduate school could cost you as much as $50K or $60K per year. In fact, some of the most competitive programs, like Wharton’s 2-year executive MBA program, will cost you nearly $200,000.
Online master’s degrees have risen in popularity over the past decade, and cost is definitely one major reason why. Online master’s programs are typically just as rigorous as their on-campus counterparts, and the convenience and flexibility of distance learning allows students to complete a degree while advancing a career, an especially attractive option for many grad students. If your online master’s degree program includes an internship requirement, you would likely be allowed to complete your service hours at a location hear your home. jump straight to our ranking lists and find the best master’s degree in your field.

My old homestate of Michigan can’t get its act together and produce a budget so there’s a chance the state should shutdown.
The Michigan Legislature did pass a temporary budget extension. It allows the state to fall into a partial shutdown.
The state’s governor, Jennifer Granholm and legislators are working against a midnight deadline that could force state government to partially shut down.
The Associated Press reports Republicans want Granholm to accept a temporary, emergency budget extension that would give lawmakers more time to craft a longer-term deal aimed at erasing a $1.75 billion deficit in the fiscal year that starts Monday. Granholm has said she won’t sign a temporary budget unless she has assurances higher taxes to pay for education, public health and other programs are part of the deal. She said lawmakers already have had nearly eight months to come up with a blend of revenue increases, cuts and structural changes to head off the crisis.

and out fell the little Tin-soldier, bead over heels, from the third-storey window ! That was a terrible fall, I can tell you! He landed on his head with his leg in the air, his gun being wedged between two paving-stones.
The nursery-maid and the little boy came down at once to look for him, but, though they were so near him that they almost trod on him, they did not notice him. If the Tin-soldier had only called out ' Here I am !' they must have found him; but he did not think it fitting for him to cry out, because he had on his uniform.
Soon it began to drizzle ; then the drops came faster, and there was a regular down-pour. When it was over, two little street boys came along.
So they made a little boat out of newspaper, put theTin-soldier in it, and made him sail up and down the gutter; both the boys ran along beside him, clapping their hands. What great waves there were in the gutter, and what a swift current! The paper-boat tossed up and down, and in the middle of the stream it went so quick that the Tin-soldier trembled; but he remained steadfast, showed no emotion, looked straight in front of him, shouldering his gun. All at once the boat passed under a long tunnel that was as dark as his box had been.

There are two documents are the artifacts of collective actions undertaken by independent intellectuals of the Joseon period (1392-1910), to influence reforms in important state affairs toward ethical politics prescribed by Confucian ideology.
10,094 like-minded individuals signed the Ten Thousand People’s Petition for Posthumous Enthronement of Crown Prince Sado, dated 1855, and the Ten Thousand People’s Petition against Dress Reform, dated 1884, bore the signatures of 8,849 persons. These two documents are early examples of a democratic process involving thousands of people and of the practical application of Confucian ethics to the sphere of government. In addition, they are the only surviving examples from seven mass campaigns of collective public action undertaken by Confucian intellectuals between the late 18th century and the early 19th century during the Joseon Dynasty.

DELRAY BEACH — Overdoses are on the decline in Delray Beach, continuing a trend that started last year.
The latest data collected by the Delray Beach Police Department shows there were fewer citywide drug overdoses in March than that time frame last year and in 2016, when there was a record-breaking number of reported overdoses.
As the country grapples with the widespread opioid epidemic, Delray Beach, often regarded as the rehab capital of the nation, is seeing fewer sober homes and fewer overdoses, data shows.
There were 21 overdoses in March, roughly a third of the 59 reported overdoses in March 2017. Just one of the 21 overdoses was deadly.
In the first quarter of 2017, there were 166 drug overdoses. In the first three months of 2017, there were 61.
This year, city officials and police attributed the drop in overdoses to a number of factors, including several sober homes shutting down and the public availability of anti-overdose drug Narcan, which can now be found in some pharmacies.
Recent state and city legislation has allowed more oversight of what were seemingly unregulated sober homes and treatment facilities, and forced several out of town, which may have contributed to the drop in overdoses, city officials report.
Delray Beach and Palm Beach County have filed lawsuits against corporations for allegedly contributing to the opioid epidemic. Delray Beach is suing drug-makers and manufacturers. Palm Beach County is suing two dozen individuals and firms — including mega-companies like CVS, Wal-Mart and Johnson & Johnson.

In Asian countries green tea is well known for its health benefits and is traditionally used for detoxication, the improvement of blood flow and its resistance to certain illnesses. It has also demonstrated that green tea has an important role in the prevention of a wide range of illnesses, including cardiovascular conditions and cancer, as well as gastrointestinal disorders, periodontal illness and dental cavities. The main flanols found in green tea are (-)-epigalocatechin-3-galat (EGCG), (-)-epigalotechin (EGC), (-)-epicatechin-3-galato (ECG), and (-)epicatechin (EC). EGCG is the most abundant and most widely studied polyphenol.
We are currently identifying the presence of these compounds in green tea extracts and evaluating the absorption of such compounds in biological samples after oral administration.

Want to boost the value of your smile and look years younger? Then consider teeth whitening. With teeth whitening, Weymouth residents can see dramatic results, whether you choose our in-office treatment that takes about an hour or our take-home kit that provides the same whitening at your convenience.
Teeth whitening really does work. All of our patients who’ve previously whitened their teeth have realized moderate to significant improvement in the brightness of their teeth. And with a home-kit to provide regular touchups, you can look forward to years and years of a whiter and more pleasing smile.
If you look at a baby’s teeth or those of a young child, then you know just how white teeth are when they start out. This is because the outer enamel surface is much like porcelain. Tooth enamel is also extremely hard—actually it’s the hardest material in the human body—so it can protect teeth from the daily assault of biting, chewing and acid attacks from sugar. Nevertheless, enamel wears down as we age and becomes more translucent. This translucency allows yellow-colored dentin (the tooth layer below enamel) to show through. In addition, micro-cracks in enamel trap stains and debris, making teeth look duller.
When it comes to teeth staining, there are two types: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic stains appear on the enamel surface of teeth and are caused by deeply colored foods and beverages—tomato sauce, carrot sticks, chocolate, coffee, tea, red wine and more—tobacco and normal wear and tear. Intrinsic stains are deep within a tooth. These happen as a result of traumatic injury that causes bleeding inside a tooth, aging, and ingestion of too much fluoride or certain antibiotics when teeth are forming.
Aging. As people age, their teeth succumb to stain-causing elements as well as the years of biting, chewing and gnashing.
Genetics. Everyone’s teeth lean toward a slightly off-white shade that has an undertone of yellow, brown or gray. As the years pass, this undertone intensifies and becomes more noticeable through the enamel.
Diet. You are what you eat and your teeth are, too. If you regularly drink darkly colored beverages and foods, then eventually you are likely to see staining. Also, citrus fruits and juices as well as vinegars increase enamel erosion, which makes the surface of your teeth more transparent so more of the yellowish dentin is visible.
Tobacco. Bad for your general health and bad for your teeth. The nicotine in smoking and chewing tobacco actually seeps into tooth structure causing brownish discoloration that is intrinsic.
Certain medication. The antibiotic tetracycline and some forms of chemotherapy can cause intrinsic staining.
Traumatic Injury. Injury to a tooth can cause cracks in the surface that trap stain-causing debris or there may even be internal bleeding that discolors the interior of a tooth.
Your cosmetic dentist in Weymouth offers two types of teeth whitening. For results immediately, choose our in-office whitening system. We use Zoom! This treatment combines the power of a hydrogen peroxide based bleaching solution with the Zoom! Advanced Power Chairside Lamp to activate and empower the whitening process. While you sit back and relax, the hydrogen peroxide breaks down and oxygen penetrates the enamel and dentin layers of your teeth. Stains and discoloration are lifted away so your teeth look their whitest.
Alternatively, you can choose to whiten your teeth in the privacy of your own bathroom with our at-home teeth whitening kit. Your dentist will provide you with professional strength bleaching solution and custom-fitted mouth trays. Fill the trays will solution and wear them for the prescribed length of time. You’ll likely begin to see results after only a couple of cosmetic treatments, but the most dramatic change will happen after two weeks of consistent use.

ImagePrinter Pro allows you to print to JPEG 2000 file any document.
Print as JPEG2000 File Interchange Format. Same as printing to JPEG, but this format has higher compression ratios, this means less file size.Only Single page. There are only few programs which understand this format currently.
While there is a modest increase in compression performance of JPEG2000 compared to JPEG, the main advantage offered by JPEG2000 is the significant flexibility of the codestream. The codestream obtained after compression of an image with JPEG2000 is scalable in nature, meaning that it can be decoded in a number of ways; for instance, by truncating the codestream at any point, one may obtain a representation of the image at a lower resolution, or signal-to-noise ratio. By ordering the codestream in various ways, applications can achieve significant performance increases. However, as a consequence of this flexibility, JPEG2000 requires encoders/decoders that are complex and computationally demanding. Another difference, in comparison with JPEG, is in terms of visual artifacts: JPEG 2000 produces ringing artifacts, manifested as blur and rings near edges in the image, while JPEG produces ringing artifacts and ‘blocking’ artifacts, due to its 8×8 blocks.
