He was educated at the University of Toronto, where geologist A.P. Coleman persuaded him away from teaching mathematics and into Earth Sciences. He attained his PhD at Harvard, and did postgraduate work in Germany and France. After working as a field geologist for the International Boundary Commission, he was a professor, and headed the Department of Geology at Harvard University from 1912 until 1942. Daly was president of The Geological Society of America in 1932.[1]
For the Boundary Commission, working in six field seasons, Daly mapped the border from the Pacific Ocean to the Great Plains, a rugged swath 400 miles (640 km) long and 5 to 10 miles (8.0 to 16.1 km) wide – an area of about 2,500 square miles (6,500 km2). He documented the geology alone, but had the help of one field assistant and numerous wranglers and porters. He collected 1,500 rock specimens and made 960 thin sections, using a German polishing technique he learnt as a student. The project also included 1,300 photographs, dozens of lake soundings, stratigraphic and structural mapping, petrology, and morphology.[2] In 1912, he filed his final report with the Geological Survey of Canada, a massive 3-volume tome he called North America Cordillera: Forty-Ninth Parallel.[3] This work along the 49th parallel led him to formulate a theory of the origins of igneous rocks, and later publish his seminal work Igneous Rocks and Their Origin in 1914.
According to Daly's biographer, James Natland, Daly was an early proponent of Arthur Holmes' and Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory.[4] Daly summarized his ideas in his 1926 book, Our Mobile Earth, which included on the title page small print adopted from Galileo: E pur si muove. Daly's theory on continental displacement was based partly on the idea that after the Moon was ejected from the Earth, continental movement was an inevitable part of rebalancing the planet; he also suggested that continental material accruing near oceans eventually slips, and forces continents to creep along. He expanded this notion in Strength and Structure of the Earth, in 1940, where Daly anticipated aspects of plate tectonics, including introduction of a "mesospheric shell" and a slippery vitreous basaltic substratum.
Daly also proposed the impact theory of lunar creation in 1946, which countered two prevailing notions: George Darwin's hypothesis that the Moon spun out of the primordial Earth due to centrifugal force; and, another fashionable theory that the Moon was a captured wayward asteroid. Daly applied Newtonian physics to make his point, which was later validated.
Daly was awarded the Penrose Medal in 1935, the Wollaston Medal in 1942[5] and the William Bowie Medal in 1946. In 1950 he became foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[6] The mineral dalyite[7] and craters on Mars[8] and the Moon are named in his honor. His Cambridge, Massachusetts, house (the Reginald A. Daly House) is now a National Historic Landmark.

The mobile platform of the Google released its latest Android 8.0 Oreo. It was launched on August 21, 2017. This latest software's available on the Nexus devices and Google's Pixel. It has also been launched on other devices like OnePlus, HTC, and others.
The availability of the updates depends on the different factors like the update whether the mobile phone is carrier-branded or unlocked, a track record of the phone manufacturer, region, version of the mobile phone, and many more. According to the previous performance, we can predict when you will be able to have Android Oreo update on the mobile phone.
OTA links and factory images are there on the website of the Android Developers. If people need to flash the image then they can manually install the Android Oreo.
The updates of Android 8.0 Oreo are officially on the following devices. You can receive the latest factory images by opening them.
- Nexus Player
- Google Pixel XL
- Google Pixel C
- Nexus 5X
- Google Pixel
- Nexus 6P
There are some devices that have received the Android 7.1.1 Nougat updates. These following devices would not get the Android 8.0 updates:
- Nexus 9 LTE
- Nexus 6
- Nexus 9 WiFi
For all those devices which are non-Google, you have to wait for some time to enjoy the Android 8.0 on the mobile phone. On 11 December 2017, last version of the Android that is Android Nougat was running on just 23.3% of the devices. Now, it has been over 1 year after this software first released. There are huge chances that you might see similar numbers for the Oreo this year too.
OEMs are the fastest. There are carriers in order to update to the Android Nougat. The performance of the OEM update is also super great. Probably, the small platform has finished for the 1st update that is not backed up every time by the update performance. It is never a good experience to update the mid-range as well as the budget devices. Unfortunately, this is not an appealing prospect for the manufacturers of the device or carriers.
We always encourage people to do some homework before planning the new Android purchase. And more especially if there are rapid updates coming in the market. There are few combinations of the carrier and manufacturer which are far better than the others. Google Pixel 2 has the updates of the guaranteed software for coming 3 years.

What's hot and what's not for private brands
There are hot product categories and not-so-hot product categories that retailers should consider investing in for private brands, according to Daymon's "Private Brand Intelligence Report 2018."
The hot products, which Daymon says retailers should bet on for store brand growth, are:
• single-serve coffee and tea;
• salty snacks;
• cheese;
• specialty milk;
• frozen appetizers;
• frozen pizza;
• vitamins;
• frozen seafood;
• bacon;
• value-added meat;
• deli dips;
• deli entrees and salads; and
• bakery categories.
Dave Harvey, Daymon's vice president of global thought leadership, explains that the categories are related to current consumer trends. Consider consumers' penchant for better-for-you products, which include several of the product categories including tea, specialty milks, vitamins and frozen seafood. On the other side of the spectrum, consumers also want indulgence, which includes bacon, cheese and salty snacks category.
Other trends are convenience, which is why frozen appetizers and frozen pizza are on the list. And then there is the trend toward fresher food, which is why so many deli items are on the list.
Some of the categories surprised me, but none more than frozen pizza. Harvey says big brands formerly dominated the category, but not anymore. Retailers are introducing specialty pizza with different types of ingredients, including healthy and clean ingredients.
Nicole Peranick, Daymon's director of global thought leadership/culinary, says private brands are getting first to market in several of the hot product categories, including frozen pizza. She points to Trader Joe's with its frozen private brand Cauliflower Pizza Crust, made primarily with cauliflower and corn flour. Store Brands awarded the product as it its Best New Food Product or Line in its "2017 Best Of…Awards" competition. Trader Joe's recently introduced its Gluten-Free Cheese Pizza with a Cauliflower Crust, a ready-to-bake pizza. The crust uses a blend of cauliflower, mozzarella cheese, potato flour, chickpea flour, and brown rice flour to replace wheat flour.
"We're seeing private brands lead innovation in many of these categories," Peranick says.
Which brings us to the not-so-hot products for private brands. They are:
• soft drinks;
• laundry detergent;
• shelf-stable fruit and vegetables;
• processed lunch meat;
• cakes; and
• premium garden blends.
But there could be some silver linings to the categories if you look close enough. For instance, Carl Jorgensen, Daymon's director of global thought leadership/wellness, points out that water is stealing market share from soft drinks, which bodes well for private brands.
"You can produce interesting flavored waters without sugar or any artificial sweeteners," Jorgensen adds, noting that vitamins and other healthy ingredients are being added to water. "For private brands, rather than put money into soft drinks, retailers should put money into water that offers flavors and [healthy] benefits."
Frozen pizza and flavored water. Sounds like a winning combo for private brands.

Everyone Relax, The PlayStation Vita Is Not Just Good, It's Going to be Great
That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. Now that we're just starting to dip our toes into the PlayStation Vita, with 1st edition bundles reaching the masses this week, the first wave reviews are starting to pour out from all over the place. While some have been fairly positive (from actual, you know, gaming sites) it seems that the tech sites of the world have gone on some kind of anti-Vita crusade going. I feel that I need to quickly chime in on this.
I get why the phone and tablet comparisons are being drawn. I also understand why (insert generic tech site here) is taking those comparisons into consideration when coming up with their review scores. But here's my biggest problem with much of the review coverage I've seen thus far. Everyone is using the excuse of "while the Vita does this, It still can't do what my phone, blah, blah, blah."
Let's get something straight here, Sony never intended for it to replace your phone. It's intended to provide gaming experiences that rival those of your home console. And that's exactly what it does. It simply works as advertised.
By the way, if you're relying on a tech site to sway you on whether or not you should buy a gaming (key word here) handheld, it's like going to a car mechanic to check on your tooth ache. It just doesn't make sense. They're evaluating hardware and the gadget's tech appeal. Games are the real reason you'd be buying one anyway.
With these reviews, we're also now starting to see more of the "gloom and doom" articles popping up on gaming blog X. It's really not that serious. The Vita is doing "just fine" in Japan (according to Sony's most recent earnings call), and I'm sure it will be met with even more success when it officially launches in the US next week.
If you're worried about developers, some of them (like EA) have told us on numerous occasions that they're using the "wait and see" approach when it comes to The PlayStation Vita. What that tells me is that they want to wait and see what we, the gamers, are going to do with this hardware. If we show them (and by show I mean buy the damn thing) that we're interested, then we'll get the support, products, and IPs that we want to see on the device.
Here's what it all boils down to: As long as we believe in the Vita, and still believe in the idea of dedicated handhelds in general, the Vita will not just be good. It's going to be great. But please just no more complaining because It's all in our hands now.

opakowanie: kartonowe etui
Editor's info:
Answering a need for critical attention towards experimental and avant-garde music, Arcana is a ground-breaking work - as far-ranging and dynamic as the current generation of musicians. Through manifestoes, scores, interviews, notes and critical papers, performer/composers address composing, playing, improvising, teaching, and thinking in and through music. Rather than an attempt to distill or define musicians' work, Arcana illuminates with personal vision and experience. Arcana is a remarkable book - challenging and original - essential for composers, musicians, theorists and fans alike.
Arcana is a vibrant testimony to the continuing vitality of new music. These exciting young composers are as idiosyncratic and eloquent with words as they are with music.
-Meredith Monk composer/singer
Arcana, edited by John Zorn, is filled with writings by musicians from all over the musical map. Interested in the sampling, deconstruction and reconstruction of pop hooks? The historical sociobiology of the downtown music scene? An American's reaction to the study of Gagaku? Extended contrabass techniques? A savvy take on ear plugs, amplifier distortion and pain? This is the book you've been looking for.

What Is Your Child's Best Interest During a Divorce?
Parents going through a divorce will often hear the term "best interest of the child." According to Illinois law, the allocation of parental responsibilities must protect the best interest of the child above all else. Responsible parents will agree on this point but may have different definitions of what their child's best interest is. As a parent, you may argue that your child's best interest is to spend as much time with you as possible. This may be presenting your own best interest as your child's best interest. Illinois divorce courts presume a child benefits the most when parents share responsibility. There is not a uniform parenting plan that is in the best interest of all children. Parents and divorce judges must consider each case on its individual merits.
Continued Relationships
Divorce and parenting researchers advocate for shared parental responsibilities because of the importance of children having a relationship with both parents. Following a divorce, children have lost the comfort of their familiar two-parent household. It is vital for their mental and emotional development to continue having two parents who love them and spend time with them.
You may have a valid reason to limit your spouse's contact with your children if he or she is a threat to their safety. However, you must separate your own prejudices against your spouse from actual threats to their safety. By alienating your children from your spouse, you may be stealing their ability to ever have a healthy relationship.
State Guidelines
Illinois divorce courts prefer that parents share parenting time but not split it equally. Courts believe it is less disruptive for children if they have a primary residence, which means they will spend more time with one parent. The other parent has the right to schedule regular visits with the children.
Illinois law does not mandate how parenting time should be divided or that both parents must have parenting time in all cases. It directs the court to decide in the best interest of the child, considering factors such as:
- The wishes of the parents and child;
- The role each parent has played in raising the child;
- The distance between the parents' residences;
- The safety and stability of living with each parent;
- The child's adjustment to a new home and neighborhood;
- The child's special needs; and

Universal Reconciliation and the Deconstruction of Personhood
One of the scandals of religion is that of exclusivity, the belief that the adherents of the particular religion will receive "X" benefits and those who don't…will not. In reaction to these claims of exclusivity, there are many who attempt to equalize the playing field, so to speak. These advocate that if there is God who rewards humans with "X," then all humans, without qualification, will receive "X" unconditionally.
There is one level, of course, on which this idea (i.e., universal reconciliation) is an appealing concept. After all, it is difficult to imagine eternal separation from reconciled life with God. As callous as we humans can oftentimes be towards others, there is something innately disturbing about the idea of another person existing in dysfunctional relationship with God for all of eternity. Such reflections quickly lead to sentimentalized conceptions of eternity in which all, unequivocally, are reconciled to God and others.
Unfortunately, the sentiments of universal reconciliation disastrously ignore the issues that lie at the heart of the meaning of reconciliation and forgiveness. In reality, such a move co-opts the crises of reconciliation and forgiveness, replacing them with the opiate of universalism. However, this anaesthetizing of the severe consequences of relationship and its potential dysfunctions serves only to deconstruct the personhood of the those whose eternal destinies are being considered, creating a picture of eternity in which universal reconciliation is entirely anti-personal, the annihilation of both the divine and human self.
The Co-Dependant God
Classic theism presumes that God is a personal being. As a personal being, God is capable of existing in relationship not only to Godself, but also to that which God has created and endowed with personhood. If it is assumed that God relates to human persons on an inter-personal level, one must also affirm the potential for the consequences of such relationship. Therefore, it is not only possible that God can relate in a reconciled manner towards humanity, but also in dysfunctional way (even if this dysfunction is in no way the result of any divine action).
Universal reconciliation, however, denies this nature to God and introduces to the divine personhood a severe co-dependency. Universal reconciliation advocates that in eternity, all will be reconciled to God and exist harmoniously in relationship with God. Therefore, regardless of the way in which the human person has related to God, the end will be the same. Even if one desires to live dysfunctionally in relationship to God, this dysfunction will be erased and replaced–by divine fiat–with reconciliation.
However, this perspective ignores the nature of personal relationship and the reality of reconciliation. Reconciliation is not something that can be compelled from another. Rather, it is a crisis of personal interaction in which forgiveness and love repair that which is dysfunctional, thereby overcoming hostility and enmity. Universal reconciliation, however, allows for no such crisis. Within this framework, reconciliation is necessarily compelled from God. In this way, God is actually required to be reconciled to humans, regardless of how these have individually related themselves to the divine person and in spite of any particular desire they might have one way or the other.
This represents the infinitizing of the neurosis of co-dependency. Within universal reconciliation, God must be reconciled and exist in reciprocally reconciled relationship with those who do not desire to be reconciled to God (per the dysfunctional ways in which they have related themselves to God). Like the abused who craves the attention and over-power of their abuser, the God of universal reconciliation co-dependently exists in restored relationship to those who do not desire proper relationship with God. Yet in this relationship there is no redemption, no equity, and no manifestation of the self-giving nature of love. Rather, it is simply the ultimate form of abuse, self-deprecation, and relational neurosis on behalf of the divine person. Just as abuse and co-dependency are ultimately de-personalizing, so universal reconciliation de-personalizes God, denying that God can meaningfully exist in relationship to other persons. Quite contrarily, the God of universal reconciliation is the ultimate non-person, lacking any real personhood to which human persons could be related.
Ultimately, it is a wonder why anyone would wish to be reconciled to such a God (even though actual, life-giving reconciliation is actually impossible in such a scenario), yet this is precisely the kind of deity which universal reconciliation engenders.
The De-Human
Although the consequences of universal reconciliation are devastating to any robust conception of the personhood of God, it is also particularly destructive to understanding the nature of the human person. If personhood is central to what it means to be human, then it would naturally follow that as God is also personal, there is room in which human persons can be related to the divine person. As mentioned before, this possibility carries the corollary necessity that this relationship can be either mutually reciprocal or dysfunctional. Therefore, if God is truly Creator and the infinite person, all persons exist in relationship to God, either positively or negatively.
To be able to exist in such a relationship (not only in relationship to the divine person, but also to other human persons) is central to personhood. For example, one would not assign personhood to a chair. Although one can exist in relationship to the chair (via a positive or negative assessment of it), this is not a relationship of personality. Interpersonal relationships, however, function on the level of personal and mutual interaction, reciprocity, dysfunction, etc. In other words, persons are able to choose the ways in which they will relate themselves to others. While such choices of relation will not automatically engender the desired relationship, overtures towards a relational end create the possibility of such relationships materializing. Whatever the outcomes of these relational movements will be, the central issue is that the possibility of existing in these kinds of relationships to others is central to personhood, central to being human. The removal of this potential equates to the de-personalizing and de-humanizing of the relational, human person.
Unfortunately, this de-humanizing is precisely the consequence of universal reconciliation. If all are eventually reconciled without qualification, the very potential for determining the ways in which one will relate oneself to others (including the divine person) is annihilated. As human persons, in the eschaton, no longer (or did they ever really have it?) have the potential for either being reconciled to God or existing in dysfunctional relationship to God, the very meaning of personhood has ceased to exist. Although from the divine perspective (noted above) human persons are the abusive overlords that extract a particular relationship from God, from the anthropological perspective, they are equivalent to the chair mentioned above–i.e., they are de-humaned beings who, like the chair, are incapable of existing in reciprocal relationship to the divine person.
Therefore, in attempting to mitigate the admittedly distasteful conception of an eternity in which some will exist in perpetual relational isolation from the divine person, universal reconciliation has effectively deconstructed the human person, removing the potential that any will exist as personal beings beyond the grave. It is curious how this conclusion is any better than the alternative which it seeks to overcome.
Toward an Alternative
If one is to preserve the dynamic of relationship which much exist to not only safeguard the personhood of God, but also protect against the de-humanizing of created persons, I think one must reject universal reconciliation. If reconciliation is something that occurs reciprocally between persons, there must be space in which its opposite can also be a reality. If God must exist in fully reconciled relationship with all human beings, then God has ceased to be a fully-formed personal being, and is merely the co-dependent deity who destructively capitulates to the wills of those who do not desire relationship, but rather power. And if all human persons will inevitably be fully reconciled to God, they have been de-pesonsed and de-humaned, for the potential of personhood to exist–either destructively over and against another or willfully in reciprocal, reconciled relationship–has been effectively annihilated by divine fiat.
Therefore, a middle way must be pursued. There must be space in which the will of God to be reconciled to all can be affirmed while concomitantly preserving the potential that humans persons can choose to be or not be reconciled to God. Against those who assert that this is a cruel perspective of eternity, I would vehemently disagree. While the consequences of choosing to not be reconciled to God and others may be truly devastating, to not have the potential to embody these consequences would be even worse. A de-humaned eternal existence would be worth nothing, as would a de-personalized God. It is only with the potential for dysfunctional relationship that true reconciliation can be engendered. The magical reconciliation of all things may be aesthetically pleasing and emotionally satisfying on a superfluous level. However, it creates a pseudo-relationship that is plastic and hollow, one which lacks the depth of the true personal interaction for which humans were created.

The Eschatological Christ in the Face of the Poor

Let's be honest: in the final analysis, the Christ of revelation–the one who comes in power, glory and vengeance–is the Christ we want. Yes, of course, the humble servant was a great example of love; his moral example was admirable; the atonement, for sure, was necessary, so we can't forget that. But really–REALLY–it is the…

Creation and Eschatology
about 14 years ago - No comments
A fundamental tenant of Christian faith is that the universe, humanity and history are dynamic. Rather than simply existing as the static expression of some primordial causation, the universe, humanity and history are all moving in a direction. Christians believe that God is working within the cosmos, shaping and contouring it toward a goal, toward…

Sad Sunday
Sad Sunday
The News coming from Honduras concerning the violations of human rights up to and inclusive of murders of the opposition and humans reporting human rights violations have escalated and yet remain largely ignored by mainstream media.
I am perhaps as guilty as others in that I've only briefly reported the death of Walter Trochez, 25-year-old activist for LGBT rights and human rights in this blog. The United States position on the events in Honduras present a confusing and conflicted facade as demonstrated with the US ambassador to Honduras, Hugo Llorens, who perhaps requires replacement with an American who understands democracy and not US inspired Central American Politics as usual.
You can imagine my horror with this condition in Honduras as the waste of human lives continues, apparently escalating as we sit idly by. I do not look to Hitlary Clinton or the Obama Administration for help in resolving these kinds of civil rights issues within Honduras because they've already secured the rights to continued US Military presence within the country from the Pepe Lobo administration coming into office. The US foreign Aid is flowing into the hands of the Elite and the Military in business as usual.
Much like the Bush administration, having the military locked in is the sole concern of this administration driving the Industrial-Military complex here in the USA too. The US involvement in Honduran day-to-day life is propping up the oligarchy, exploiting the cheap labor and avoiding any tax liabilities within the US by operating virtually tax-free in Honduras without any social consciousness or sense of responsibility.
The United States difficulty with Micheletti as interim President and the reason for painting this as a "Coup" rather than a Congressional and Honduran Supreme Court approved action removing Zelaya (who was working to tear apart the Honduran Constitution) is because Micheletti threatened to bounce the US Military out of the country. The pros and cons of Constitutional reconstruction are heavily opposed by the 12 or 15 ruling families of Honduras and the the last thing the international corporate community exploiting the Honduran people for cheap labor wants is to spoil their sweet deal for slaves with the oligarchy.
Zelaya was no prince by any stretch of the imagination and I admit a vast ignorance of the active politics behind the Congressional Approved removal from office. I do understand that this action was taken because Zelaya was working to gut the Honduran Constitution to put himself into a position, like his hero Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Like Chavez, Zelaya took his run against the Honduran Constitution to the "common people" with encouragement for them to push against the Congress upholding the Constitution.
This "direct to the people" position from Zelaya put the Haves in opposition to the Have-nots and the Have's understood they didn't have a snowball's chance in hell. The ruling class, the oligarchy has not missed Hugo Chavez's take over of the Venezuelan Banks, the manufacturing and the oil and this, more than any other factor, was Zelaya's downfall in making the populist move toward a more democratic society.
The election of Pepe Lobo represents a return to Zelaya's style of governance and political ideology too although Pepe Lobo is solidly one of the Haves. Lobo's endorsement is because the Haves control him. The fear was that Zelaya would, as Chevez has done, turn against the Haves at the first opportunity. Pepe Lobo may make some concessions to the people that cost the American Corporate Communists taxes to help support education, medical care and development of infrastructure but the Haves are sure they are safe from any Constitutional re-alignments that would reduce their absolute tyranny of the people.
Pepe Lobo doesn't present that threat. With my limited knowledge of Michelitti as a staunch supporter (Member) of the oligarchy (he was the telephone company in Honduras and is a child of privilege) and a twice loosing presidential candidate, I am not in possession of enough knowledge to form an opinion based in fact on his ability as interim President to be the foundation of this murder and mayhem in the country that is reality now. He did maintain a conservative and democratic position while Congressional President. Is he the foundation for the current wave of political assassinations?
I just don't have any good answers and the information coming out of Honduras doesn't clearly support that position of Micheletti as the master of massacre.
Micheletti's nephew was abducted and murdered in October, 2009 and this may form a foundation for the actions but there is no clear link or smoking gun to support this. Has Micheletti moved to a right-wing, ultra-conservative position from his centrist to populist position while in the Honduran Congress? I find that hard to believe. His record is one of a liberal Catholic without prejudice for the LGBT community or academics.
The best supposition from within Honduras that is put forward is these civil rights violations and the suppression of dissent are Zelaya manipulated or from the Pepe Lobo regime poised to take office and all remain unfounded or substantiated in any way. It is well within reasonable expectation that the monied elite are able to act in this oppressive, tyrannical and dictatorial way but the oligarchy has, in the past, been much more subtle about taking their wrath out against the people. They understand clearly how easily outnumbered they are and the military support of this government is tenuous at best.
My personal opinion on the foundation for the current wave of murders and attempts to suppress opposition to Micheletti or Pepe Lobo lean toward the Machiavellian history of Hugo Chavez and his desires for Honduran instability to paint this well-recognized US protectorate as a less than stable or credible voice within Central America and to feed his growing desire for flexing Venezuelan military might into Honduras. The acts of human rights violations are stunningly similar to the actions Hugo Chavez took against members of SUMATA opposition within Venezuela and against the liberal academic community as he rose to power. For Hugo Chavez to be central in these actions makes great sense to me considering the desires he's expressed in building a strong Central American Alliance with a justified anti-American attitude. Chavez and Zelaya were in bed together and I can easily see Zelaya's private thugs doing this kind of human rights murder and mayhem to damage the Oligarchy by pushing his agenda. Doing these things to paint opposition (Micheletti) as an oppressive regime falls well within the Chavez/Zelaya history and undermines support for Pepe Lobo prior to his coming into office. The pinpoint accuracy of the opposition members being murdered points to knowledge of kind that only Zelaya would hold as the man who encouraged the resistance. Offering up his conspirators to sacrifice to inflame the people of Honduras is well within his character.
Hugo Chavez also has an axe to grind with the US Ambassador in Honduras. Mr. Hugo Llorens figures centrally in the attempted coup de ta of Chavez in 2002 under the Dumb as a Box of Rocks Bush Administration and his presence as the American Banking representative on the ground in Honduras is inflammatory at best. Mr Hugo Llorens is a Cuban who would best serve the USA from a post in Havana rather than being the man who wields the US Military and Foreign Aid over the Honduran Oligarchy. His personal agenda and that of the Obama Administration comes under question in the actions and the reporting from Honduras.
I love Honduras and the people are among the happiest, healthiest and most well centered humans I've met in Central America and I am at a loss over what else to do. Getting the news out about the dire straights this struggling nation's people now find themselves is paramount to their success in obtaining basic human rights. The Honduran people have launched themselves on the path of wresting absolute control from the monied elite and Americans should support them in their desires for democracy.
I'm looking for answers and doing my letter-writing and reporting best to provide enlightenment and call for a return to sanity but the reality is that we are not sane in the USA in this same struggle and why should anything different be expected elsewhere? The USS Honduras has been subjugated by American Corporate Communists and often what happens within Honduras is a testing ground for what's planned in the USA.
I encourage any and all to become active and informed on this topic and to help us put pressure upon the Honduran Government to end the human rights violations and for the United States to withdraw from Honduras. We are not "supporters of Democracy" within Honduras and never have been. We've used, abused and raped the country for our Corporate Greed and as a power base within the country, Central America and South America to stage our illegal wars and the drug war. Stop the madness.
The Velvet Revolution has begun an action to stop domestic terrorism. Please go, sign-up, sign-on and let's bring some pressure to bear against these misinforming misanthropes.
And this from Dan Savage that's wonderful:

July 5, 1984
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Forty years ago -- on June 27, 1944 -- President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law the Veterans' Preference Act. This statute brought together, for the first time, laws, Executive orders, and regulations extending back to the Civil War which granted preference in Federal employment to veterans.
The primary purpose and philosophy of the Veterans' Preference Acts are to assist veterans in obtaining and retaining Federal jobs for which they qualify. They constitute not only a means of rewarding veterans for their service in the Armed Forces, but also a means of preventing them from being penalized, in the search for employment, by the fact that the months or years they spent in the service of their country isolated them from the civilian world. In recognition of the economic disadvantage suffered by this service, these Acts seek to give these veterans a favorable position in competing for Federal employment. At the same time, the veterans' preference laws have been drafted so that they are compatible with the merit principle of public employment.
Veterans' preference is but a partial recognition of the great debt of gratitude that the country owes to those who have served in the Armed Forces. Its success is evidenced by the fact that 40 years after World War II, 30 years after Korea and 10 years after Vietnam, veterans comprise 39 percent of the non-Postal Federal work force and 52 percent of the Postal work force.
In recognition of the fortieth anniversary of the Veterans' Preference Act, and to honor the men and women who have served their country in the Armed Forces, the Congress of the United States, by Senate Joint Resolution 297, has designated June 1984 as ``Veterans' Preference Month,'' and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of that month.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 1984 as Veterans' Preference Month.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and ninth.
Ronald Reagan
[Filed with the Office of the Federal Register, 4:37 p.m., July 5, 1984]

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
It seems each year that Christmas comes a little bit earlier. This past September, as soon as back to school items were cleared from store shelves, Halloween took precedence. But hidden there behind the pumpkins and candy at Target, there were Christmas trees on display. In September!
We don't know what to do with ourselves during those few months of downtime between Labor Day and Halloween. And between Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas. If we aren't constantly moving on to the next big event, it feels like wasted time somehow. Except as a church. The church continues to celebrate the season of Advent—a time of purposeful waiting and expectation. Advent is a time of knowing what is to come, but not rushing ahead just yet. This year Advent begins on November 29.
That day and the next three Sundays, all the way until the December 24, we will be patient. Even as schools and workplaces have Christmas parties and gift exchanges, as a church we will proclaim that there is value in waiting, in hoping, and in exploring the mysteries of how Christ comes to us.
This year, St. Paul's will hold three mid-week Advent services: December 2, December 9, and December 16. These will take the form of dinner church. Many times in the Gospels, we see Jesus sharing a meal with his disciples and other followers. Gathering around a table brings people together in ways that few other things do. We will gather together from 6:00 to 7:00 (Come late if you need to!) and prepare a simple dinner together. Everyone will be able to help either cooking or setting the table. Then, gathered around a meal, we will consider scripture and sacred story together. All ages will be welcome to share in the conversation. Then, as Jesus did with his disciples, we will share bread and wine (or grape juice), in a foretaste of the feast to come. Then, everyone helps to clean up, and we will be finished by 8:00.
So this Advent season, consider taking a few hours a week to pause and wait with us!
In Christ,
Pastor Laura

Welcome to the Meta FAQs page!
Here is where all of the frequently asked questions about this feature are answered. Be sure to review it in detail before using the forum located at the very bottom to ask specific, unanswered questions.
Where can I make a suggestion?
You can make your suggestions on the Get Meta page. You'll find it in the top menu under Blog Features.
Can the same topic be chosen more than once?
No. However, suggestions that are similar can be discussed. So, I suppose, topics under the same "genre" can be discussed.
For example, two suggestions about technology can be addressed but they need to at least be concerned with different facets of technology rather than the same thing. Of course, there will be exceptions depending on how "open" the topic is to begin with.
What is and isn't appropriate to suggest?
You are free to suggest anything for discussion. Just be sure that your suggestion is not meant to infringe on any liberties or slander any persons.
What happens if no one suggests anything?

Healthy foods and coronary heart disease
Heart-healthy foods and prevention of coronary heart disease
The heart starts beating at about the eighth week of pregnancy and continues to do so throughout an individual's life. The heart cannot afford to fail in its function of pumping blood to the whole body. In performing this function, the heart also ensures that adequate blood is pumped to the heart itself. The arteries that pump blood to the heart are known as coronary arteries.
Blockage or narrowing of these vessels can lead to what is known as coronary heart disease. As this narrowing increase, a left sided chest pain known, as angina will set in due to a reduction in blood, oxygen and nutrient supply to the heart. Total blockage of a coronary artery that supplies a section of the heart causes death of that portion of the heart-giving rise to what is known as heart attack. The commonest cause of narrowing of the coronary artery is atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is the buildup of cholesterol and fatty deposits known as plaques on the inner wall of the artery. There are certain risk factors associated with coronary heart disease and they include, dehydration, family history, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, stress, and lack of exercise, hyperlipidemia and obesity. More than a risk factor, long standing dehydration can be considered a cause of atherosclerosis. In a state of dehydration, the brain sends signals to the liver to produce more cholesterol, which come into use when the body goes into a rationing mode.
The rationing mode is when water is redistributed from the muscles, bones and joints to the brain, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys – the five vital organs in the body. Cholesterol will have to be deposited between the cells in the walls of the capillaries to take over the usual adhesive function of water between the cells. Cholesterol, being impermeable to water, drastically reduces the passage of water out of the blood in the capillaries into the muscles. These cholesterol deposits initially found between the cells will eventually grow into the lumen of the capillaries where they join together to form plaques. At this time also, the blood level of cholesterol is very high and increasing ones daily consumption of water and sustaining it there can easily manage such hypercholesterolemia.
Principles of prevention of coronary heart disease
The first principle is to drink sufficient water on a daily basis .The next is exercise. The heart benefits a lot if we are regularly engaged in exercising. The following benefits can be seen in the lives of those who exercise always: the heart becomes strengthened and the resting pressure at which the heart pumps blood is reduced translating into a lower blood pressure. Cholesterol and blood sugar levels are reduced, thus preventing heart disease. Also exercise helps to create new capillaries for supply of blood and open up blocked ones. This will further cause a reduction of the blood pressure and eliminate the risk of heart disease.
What you eat plays a very significant role in ensuring the good health of the heart. To begin with, whatever you eat must not be excessive.
Do not over eat.
You will have to eat more of some food, reduce some and avoid others entirely to keep your heart healthy throughout your life. To keep your heart healthy, you have to eat more of the low calorie, nutrient rich foods like fresh, raw vegetables and fruits. They are rich sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber and substances that directly prevent heart disease.
Whole grains like whole wheat and oats, brown rice, barley and ground flaxseed are also high in fiber, minerals and vitamins.
Also recommended to keep the heart healthy are low fat proteins found in foods like skimmed milk, low fat yoghurt, egg white, cold-water fish such as tuna and salmon. Others are skinless poultry, legumes (kidney and black beans, lentils), soybeans, tofu and lean meat.
To ensure that the heart is healthy, high calorie, high sodium foods like fast foods, processed and refined foods should be avoided. These will include white flour products such as white bread and cakes, pastries, pasta etc. White sugar, table salt and white rice. Others are unhealthy fats like saturated, hydrogenated and trans fats such as is in margarine, butter, shortening etc.In next Thursday's edition of the Guardian Newspaper, we shall be looking at the nutrients in 25 heart healthy foods.

Patents Awarded for Using Smartphone Sensors to Distinguish Between Driver and Passenger
As the world of personal mobility evolves from the traditional single driver, single car paradigm to a world of car sharing, ride sharing, and ultimately self-driving cars, TrueMotion is developing the foundation for a Connected Driver Network. Such a network will ultimately aggregate data from mobile devices from everyone on the roads, including drivers and passengers across all modes of transportation, helping to increase efficiency and reduce accidents. TrueMotion's technology is in use by leading insurers and transportation companies, to provide usage-based insurance and visibility into driver safety.
"Since smartphones outnumber cars by more than 1 billion, and the average lifespan of a vehicle is 12 years, we can create a Connected Driver Network more quickly through phone-based applications than by waiting for every car to be connected," said Vance Loiselle, CEO of TrueMotion. "TrueMotion's technology can properly identify whether the phone belongs to the driver or the passenger of the vehicle in motion, a key component for the creation of a Connected Driver Network."
The creation of a Connected Driver Network will be accelerated by the mass adoption of usage-based insurance programs, which reward safe drivers with lower premiums. Analysts predict up to 70 percent of insurance companies will offer opt-in UBI programs within the next four years. Given the prevalence of smartphones, the ease of app updates and zero-cost of hardware, phone-based apps are the key to large scale UBI implementation and scoring.
"What TrueMotion has developed to accurately predict the type of trip and who is driving is fundamental to an effective UBI program," said Dave Pratt, GM of Usage-Based Insurance at Progressive. "We're very bullish on the technology and its current and future applications."
TrueMotion leverages a collection of methods to identify when someone is a driver and when he or she is not. For example, it has patented technology that can determine if the user is the driver by analyzing how the individual gets into and out of a car, and the movement of the phone during that transition (indicating driver's side access — patent number 8,862,486). Additionally, the position of the phone in the vehicle relative to the vehicle frame (patent number 14/477,519) is equally important.
After each trip, TrueMotion machine learning and data analytics automatically applies what is known about the driver with what is known about the trip, and determines whether or not the user was the driver. The user only receives a driving score for the trip if he or she is accurately determined to be the driver. The TrueMotion app runs automatically in the background (with nearly unnoticed battery drain and data usage), with no user input or interaction required. All information tracked is stored securely and kept private.
"Every driver has a unique 'signature' — his or her own identifiable pattern," said Brad Cordova, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at TrueMotion and inventor of the patents. "When combined with external data points, we can differentiate between drivers and passengers; whether you are in a car, on a bus, riding a bike or sitting on a plane. This level of precision underpins the UBI industry and is a gateway to building networks of connected drivers."
About TrueMotion
Headquartered in Boston, Mass., TrueMotion brings the power of data and mobile technology to address the growing problem of distracted driving, which is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths and hundreds of millions of dollars in insurance claims each year. TrueMotion's technology platform enables insurance companies to distinguish between safe and risky drivers, reward safe drivers with discounts on their insurance and help reduce the number of driving accidents, leading to safer roads for all.

White House Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Jason Furman dropped by the White House Daily Press Briefing today to tout President Obama's economic record.
"On nearly every economic measure, our economy is stronger today then it was the day President Obama took office," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest claimed while introducing Furman.
"The U.S. economic recovery took a major step forward in 2014," Furman continued. "This is the year in which we broke the record for the longest streak of private sector job growth, now 57 consecutive months and counting."
Pressed by CBS News' Major Garrett to explain why median incomes have not yet risen under the Obama recovery, Furman claimed that they did not rise under the Bush recovery either.
"We've had a challenge in this regard for decades," Furman said. "That challenge was particularly acute between 2001 and 2007 when we saw reasonably strong economic growth, but median incomes actually fell over the course of the expansion."
But the Census data does not back Furman up. According to this Census web page, in constant 2013 dollars, the median U.S. income rose from $55,562 in 2001 to $56,436 in 2007. That may be a meager $874 rise, but it does beat the $2,120 drop in income from when Obama took office in 2009 ($54,059) to today ($51,939).
Furman, however, is optimistic. "The last Census numbers we have are from 2013. We haven't gotten the 2014 numbers, and I expect those to be considerably better. Unfortunately we will not get those until next August."
Furman also did not mention the latest findings from Pew which show that median wealth is still falling in the United States, from $82,300 in 2010 to $81,400 today. This lost wealth during the Obama recovery has been particularly acute for black families who have seen their median wealth drop from $16,600 in 2010 to $11,000 today.

I've got some huge transformers part of a mini-substation on a commercial property. 6' or more tall. I think they are manufactured somewhere between 1930 and 1950. They are about to be retired within a month.
Through a friend of friend type deal I was told they contain 10's of thousands in copper. I was also told by someone else they could contain PCB's. I'll add photos and see if I can find model numbers.
How would you approach this to get them gone and make some money doing it?
