by a line running east and west at about ° south latitude or in the neighborhood of Murchison river. The sale, letting, disposal, or occupation of waste lands north of that line is to remain under the control of the Imperial Government, the proceeds of sales being invested to form an interest-bearing fund, or expended for the benefit of the district, while the interest of this fund and the annual land revenues will i. into the treasury of Western Australia until the Imperial Parliament decides to erect the northern territory, which contains at present about 2,000 inhabitants, into a new colony or colonies. The northern region, unlike the settled district around Perth, is not adapted to agriculture. Its j". will depend on the gold-fields, the pearl fisheries, and the pastoral industry. For the protection of the natives an Aborigines Protection Board was created in 1886, which disposes of an annual grant of £5,000. This board will be continued, the members being appointed by the Imperial Government, against the protest of the Western Australian Council. A bill for granting responsible government to Western Australia, subject to the reservations and conditions made by the colonial authorities, was introduced in Parliament by the Government, but since these conditions were far from being accepted by the Western Australians, the bill was only carried to a second reading, thus affirming the principle of responsible government, but leaving the disputed points open for further negotiations and compromises. Tasmania.-The Legislative Council is elective, the property qualification of electors being higher than for voters for members of the House of Assembly. The present Governor is Sir Robert G. C. Hamilton, who was appointed in January, 1887. The following ministers were in office in 1889: Premier and Chief Secretary, Philip Oakley Fysh; Treasurer, Bolton Stafford Bird; Attorney-General, Andrew Inglis Clark; Minister of Lands and Works, Edward Nicholas Coventry Braddon. The revenue for six months of 1888, when the date of the financial year was changed, was £823,103, and the expenditure £328,512. The revenue for 1889 was estimated at £611,617, and the expenditure at £653,169; for 1889–90 the prospects are more cheerful, a revenue being expected of £683,000, against £670,000 of expenditures. To extinguish the deficits of recent years the Government introduced a tax of 9d. in the pound on personal P. jerty, including that of non-residents, and of 4d. in the pound on all incomes. The public debt on Dec. 31, 1888, amounted to £4,545,370. The estimated population at the end of 1887 was 142,478. There were during the year 4,736 births, 2,161 deaths, and 939 marriages. The number of immigrants was 14,980; of emigrants,
Fiji.-The colony, which was formally annexed in 1874, is administered as a direct dependenc of the Crown. The Governor also acts as Hig Commissioner and Consul-General for the Western Pacific. The present Governor is Sir John Bates Thurston. The native Fijians, who numbered 110,754 in 1887, are Wesleyan Christians,
except eight per cent., who are Roman Catholics. There were besides 2,105 Europeans, 838 halfbreeds, 6,085 Indian coolies, and 2,354 Polyne
sian immigrant laborers. Rotumah, a dependent island administered by an English commissioner, had 2,303 inhabitants. The imports in 1887 were £188,071 in value, and the exports £281,080. The oport of sugar was 12,831 tons, valued at £205,29 British New Guinea.—The southern part of New Guinea, which was made a British protectorate after the annexation of the northeastern coast by Germany, has an area of about 86,457 square miles, and a population of 135,000 Papuans. The white population has not hitherto exceeded fifty souls. There is a missionary settlement at Port Moresby, which is now said to possess hotels, water supply, and other conveniences of a civilized town. By the New Guinea act of November, 1887, the administration was placed on a new basis, and on Sept. 4, 1888, British sovereignty was proclaimed. The sum of £15,000 per annum is guaranteed for ten years by the colony of Queensland to meet the expenses of administration, New South Wales and Victoria having promised to contribute equally with Queensland to raise this amount. Dr. William McGregor was appointed Administrator of the new possession. eputy Commissioner Musgrave, in his official report, asserts that the coast is not more unhealthful than northern Queensland, although residents are subject to fever. The mountain regions of the interior he believes to be remarkably salubrious. The country is said to be well suited to the raising of cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, goats, and poultry, and to the cultivation of sugar, tobacco, bananas, pineapples, yams, sweet potatoes, and various tropical fruits. In the jungle sago, rattan, and copra can be gathered. Promising discoveries of gold have been made. The natives are not averse to labor, since they already collect, cure, and prepare for shipment copra, gum, and béche de mer. The béche-de-mer and mother-of-pearl supplies are nearly fished out, but the copra industry is capable of indefinite expansion. Much is expected also from the timber resources of the island. Great numbers : of applications for land have been made by individuals, syndicates, and companies. In the neighboring Louisiade Islands gold has been found in apparently large deposits, and Australian o: have invaded the islands in large numbers. AUSTRIA-HUNGARY, a dual monarchy in Central Europe, composed of the Empire of Austria and the Kingdom of Hungary. The two states are united in the person of the sovereign, and have a common army, navy, and diplomacy. They also form a customs union by virtue of a
financial convention called the Ausgleich, which
is renewed and amended at the end of every ten years. Common affairs are managed by ministers of the Emperor's selection, subject to the sanction of a body called the Delegations, chosen
by the Austrian Reichsrath and the Hungarian Parliament, each being represented by sixty members, two thirds of whom are chosen by the Lower House from among its members, and one third by the Upper House. The reigning mperor of Austria and King of Hungary is Franz Josef I, who succeeded his uncle, Ferdinand I, in 1848. The death of the Archduke Rudolf made the Emperor's brother, Karl Ludwig, heir to the throne; but he renounced his ri it. in favor of his son Franz, born Dec. 18, 1863. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and of the Imperial House for the whole monarchy is directed by Count Kálnoky de Köröspatak, born in Letowitz, Moravia, Dec. 29, 1832, who was apinted on Nov. 21, 1881, having for a year or #. previous represented Austria-Hungary at the court of St. Petersburg. The Minister of War for the whole monarchy is Baron Maj.-Gen. Ferdinand Baur, who succeeded Count BylandtRheydt on March 16, 1888. The Minister of Finance for the whole monarchy is Benjamin de Kállay, appointed on June 4, 1882. Commerce.—The total value of imports in 1887, exclusive of precious metals, was 562,700,000 florins; of exports, 648,800,000 florins. Of the total imports of 1886, amounting to 539,223,418 florins, 333,458,308 florins entered the customs territory by way of Germany, 95,380,122 florins through the port of Trieste, 10,094,153 florins from Roumania, 33,410,920 florins through Fiume and other ports, 23.464,820 florins across the Russian frontier, 18,070,037 florins from Italy, 15,698,518 florins from Servia, 9,559,611 florins from Switzerland, 296,083 florins from Montenegro, and 790,774 florins from Turkey. o trade of Hungary in 1887 amounted to ,619,404 florins of imports, 85.15 per cent. of which came from Austria, and 405,991,407 florins of exports, 73.90 per cent. of which went to Austria. Barley and wine are the chief agricultural products exported, and in some years there is a considerable surplus of wheat for exportation. The mineral products of Austria for 1887 had a total value of 72,067,948 florins, and the metals extracted were valued at 27,204,556 florins. The annual value of Austrian manufactures was estimated at 1,200,000,000 florins. The mineral products of Hungary in 1886 were valued at 22,617,834 florins, not reckoning produce of salt mines, of the value of 13,299,421 florins. The commercial treaty with Switzerland, which went into operation on Jan. 1, 1889, contains important reductions in the general tariffs of both states, governing, in conjunction with the new treaty with Italy, running from Jan. 1, 1888, to Jan. 1, 1892, the tariff on imports from Germany and other countries having most-favored-nation treaties with Austria-Hungary. The Swiss treaty was signed on Nov. 28, 1888, and ratified on Dec. 28. It remains in force till Feb. 1, 1892, and from that time will be continued by tacit agreement, subject to abrogation by either party on twelve months' notice. The treaty with Germany was prolonged by a provisional arrangement till June 30, 1888, and in default of notice from either power prior to Feb. 15, 1888, continues in operation from year to year, unless renounced by one party or the other. The treaties
with England and Belgium are terminable on a year's, and those with France and the Netherlands on six months' notice. The Turkish treaty of May 22, 1862, expires on July 6, 1890, and negotiations for a new one are in progress. All efforts to renew the commercial convention with Roumania, which expired on June 1, 1886, have failed. Besides the Swiss and Italian treaties, Austria-Hungary has concluded a conventional tariff with Servia, with reductions favorable to exports from both countries. avigation.—The Austro-Hungarian merchant marine, in the beginning of 1888 comprised 68 ocean steamers, of 80,203 tons; 91 coasting steamers, of 15,307 tons; and 9,569 vessels, including coasters and fishing smacks, of 191,757 tons; total, 9,569 vessels, of 287,267 tons. The number of vessels entered at AustroHungarian ports in 1886 was 66,635, of 7,588,658 tons; the number cleared, 66,381, of 7,578,975 tons. The Austrian flag was carried by 83 per cent. of the vessels and the same percentage of those cleared, the Italian tonnage coming next, and the British third. Railroads, Posts, and Telegraphs.-The Austrian state lines of railroad on Jan. 1, 1888, had a total length of 3,789 kilometres, exclusive of 84 kilometres of Government railroad worked by companies, while the companies operated 8,674 kilometres of their own lines, and owned 1,607 kilometres more, worked by the state. The total length of Hungarian railroads was 10,121 kilometres. Baross, the Hungarian Minister of Communications, introduced a new system of passenger fares, by which the country is divided into fourteen zones. Uniform rates are charged from any place in one zone to any place in another, and between all stations in the same zone there is put one price. The average rate of fares is about 25 per cent. less than formerly. The Hungarian Legislature in 1867 adopted the system of guaranteed railroads, then common in European countries, and by 1874 a large network had been built, which has been of great benefit in the economic development of the country, but which was administered from the beginning for private gain to the neglect of ublic interests, and through stock speculation as cost the state more in guaranteed interest than it would have cost to build the railroads. At length, in common with the neighboring countries, Hungary adopted the system of state railroads, and gradually bought up the lines of the companies until, with the acquisition of the Hungarian Western Railroad so the line leading into Galicia, the entire network is now in the hands of the state. Lines that under private management, were unable to earn their running expenses, now return a fair profit notwithstanding recent reductions in freight tariffs ranging from 7 to 46 per cent. The number of letters and postal cards sent through the Austrian post-office during 1887 was 462,907,000; of patterns and printed inclosures, 59,288,000; of newspapers, 93,621,000. The receipts of the posts and telegraphs were 27,635,753 florins; expenses. 23.824,267 florins. The Hungarian post-office forwarded 128,113,000 letters and postal cards, 16,647,000 patterns and jointed inclosures, and 50,531,000 newspapers. The postal and telegraph receipts were 10,868,551 florins; expenses, 9,301,374 florins. The Austrian telegraph lines in 1887 had a total length of 24,672 kilometres, with 66,430 kilometres of wire. The number of messages sent during the o: 7,431,131. The length of the Hungarian ines was 11,215 kilometres; length of wires, 41.520 kilometres; number of messages, 3,621,832. In the Occupied Provinces there were 2,000 kilometres of lines, with 3,410 kilometres of wire; number of dispatches in 1886, 288,000. The Common Budget.—The budget of the Delegations for common expenses amounted in 1888 to 135,910,000 florins. The budget estimates for 1889 call for 139,157,324 florins, of which 39,698,314 florins represent the surplus from customs, 96,518,566 florins are assessed on the two parts of the empire, and the remainder represents receipts of the various ministries. Of the expenditure the two chief items are 121,131,004 florins for the army and 11,318,227 florins for the navy. The budget for 1890 amounts to only 129,351,708 florins, of which 113,960,160 florins are ordinary and 15,391,548 florins extraordinary expenditure. The customs receipts are estimated at 39,953,850 florins, leaving a sum of 89,397,858 florins to be provided out of Austria and Hungary for common requirements. The o army expenditure amounts to 15,358,948 florins, and includes new accoutrements for the infantry, repeating carbines for the cavalry, and additional fortifications in Galicia, costing 2,674,000 florins. The Army.-The military forces of the dual monarchy are divided into the active army, the reserve, the Landwehr, and the Landsturm. The active army and its reserve are under the control of the common Minister of War, while the territorial armies of the two monarchies are controlled by the Ministers of National Defense. The footing of the standing army in 1888 was 301,042 officers and men of all arms. There are 102 regiments of regular infantry, numbering 178,778 men; 1 regiment of Tyrolean Jägers and 32 battalions of j. numbering 18,529 men in all; 41 regiments of cavalry, with 47,091 men; 14 regiments of field artillery, numbering 23,493 men; and 12 battalions of fortress artillery, with 7,181 men; besides technical artillery, engineers, pioneers, a railway and telegraph regiment, train, staff, and medical and other establishments. The Austrian Landwehr on the peace footing numbered 4,452 officers and men; the Hungarian Honved, 11,125; Austrian gendarmerie, 10,510. On the war footing the standing army numbers 905,618; the Austrian Landwehr, 234,926; the Honved, 167,360. The number of men liable to serve in the Landsturm is more than 4,000,000. There are 816 field-guns in and in war 1,748. The number of horses in time of peace is 50,362, and in war can be increased to 217,000. The common budget for 1890 continues a number of infantry and cavalry regiments above their strength, and provides for 14 new batteries of heavy artillery and an additional railway battalion. The Austrian infantry is rapidly being equipped with the Mannlicher repeating rifle of eight millimetres caliber, which is that of the French magazine rifle. The model of the Mannlicher rifle, which was adopted by the Austrian Government in 1888, has also
been decided on by the German authorities as the weapon for the German, infantry. . It is not properly a magazine rifle, but is loaded with cartridges in packages of five, with an attachment for inserting the cartridges successively in the breach. e cartridge contains the ball, powder, and percussion material all inclosed in the shell. The rifle can be used as a single loader only when the chamber is o § introducing ordinary single cartridges. The bullets, like those adopted in France for the Lebel rifle, are coated with a thin nickle-washed envelope of steel to preserve the shape and penetrating power when striking a solid substance. The smokeless-powder that has been adopted in Germany was the invention of an Austrian chemist. Although a powder that, burns without much smoke is necessary for the effective use of a magazine rifle, this powder, while adapted for skirmishing and picket-firing, can not be used by large bodies of infantry in close line of battle, as was shown in the Austrian autumn manoeuvres of 1889, when a large number of soldiers were overcome by the powerful fumes, and many were fatally asphyxiated. The Navy.—The navy is under the supreme command of the chief of the naval department of the Ministry of War. The naval forces consisted in 1888 of 11 inon-clads, 8 corvette cruisers, 8 torpedo cruisers, 12 coast guards, 9 transports, 2 monitors, and 42 torpedo boats. The cruiser, "Custoza," the turret ship "Tegethoff," and the " of Albrecht" are the most powerful of the older vessels. The "Kronrinz Rudolf," a central citadel barbette ship, |...i. in July, 1887, carries 348-ton Krupp guns., "The Stephanie," a belted barbette ship, armed with 2 |. guns, was launched in April, 1887, Three of the torpedo vessels have attained a speed of 19 knots when fully o: for cruising. The navy is recruited both by conscription and enlistment. A Seewehr of the coast population, jo"; to the Landwehr, was organized in 1888. e term of service in the navy is the same as in the army. Austria.-The Cisleithan Monarchy is officially known as the kingdoms and provinces represented in the Reichsrath. It is composed of seventeen states possessing separate Diets, which exercise a large measure of home rule. The Provincial Diets are composed of bishops of the Roman and Greek Churches, heads of universities, and representatives of land-owners, of towns, of boards of trade and industry, and of rural communes. These bodies are competent to legislate on matters of local administration, the promotion of agriculture, charities, and public works, and to levy taxes for these o oses and for the maintenance of schools and churches. The Reichsrath consists of two chambers. The House of Lords is composed of 20 archdukes, 66 territorial nobles, 10 archbishops, 7 prince-bishops, and 109 life members. The House of Deputies contains 353 members, of whom 85 are elected by land-owners, 116 by urban constituencies, 21 by chambers of commerce and trade guilds, and 131 by rural constituencies. Bohemia has 92 representatives; Galicia, 63; Lower Austria, 37; Moravia, 36; Styria, 23: Tyrol, 18; Upper Austria, 17; the coast provinces of Gorizia, Istria, and Trieste, 12; Carniola, 10; Silesia, 10; Carinthia. 9: Bukowina, 9: Dalmatia, 9; Salzburg, 5; Voralberg, 3. The following rights are owed by patent on the Reichsrath: Consent to all laws relating to military duty; co-operation in laws relating to trade and commerce, customs, banking, the postal service, railroads, and telegraphs; and examination of the budget, tax laws, loans, and the conversion of the funds, and a general control of the debt. All bills before becoming law must receive the sanction of both houses and of the Emperor. The Austrian Cabinet is composed of the following members: President and Minister of the Interior, Count Edward Taafe, appointed on Aug. 19, 1879; Minister of Education and Ecclesiastical Affairs, Dr. Paul Gautsch von Frankenthurn; Minister of Finance, Dr. J. Dunajewski; Minister of Agriculture, Count Julius Falkenhayn; Minister of Commerce and National Economy, Marquis von Bacquehem; Minister of National Defense, Lieutenant Field-Marshal Count S. von Welsersheimb; Minister of Justice, Count Friedrich von Schönborn, appointed on Oct. 13, 1888; without portfolio, Baron Prazak, appointed on Oct. 13, 1888. Area and Population.—The area, in square miles, and the population of the lands represent
ed in the Reichsrath as estimated on Dec. 31, 1887, are as follow : provinces. | Area. population.

The males numbered 11,456,387, and the females 11,990,805. There were 889,478 births, exclusive of still-births, 672,302 deaths, and 182,088 marriages in 1887; surplus of births over deaths, 217,176. Of the total births 1489 per cent. were illegitimate. The number of Austrian emigrants arriving in the United States in 1886 was 22,006; in 1887, 24,786. According to the last census, 8,005,452 inhabitants of Austria o: er have German for their mother tongue; 5,181,611 speak Bohemian, Moravian or Slovakian; Polish, 3,239,356; Ruthenian, 2,794,554; Slovene, 1,140,548; Servian or Croatian, 563,371; Italian, 668,653: Roumanian, 190,799; Magyar, 9,887. Vienna with its suburbs had about 1,270,000 inhabitants in 1887; Prague, 170,000; Trieste, 144,844; Lemberg, 109,746.
Finances.—The revenue of Austria has not increased in recent years, and the accounts since 1883 have shown an average annual deficit of nearly 25,000,000 florins. e ordinary revenue for 1888 is given in the financial estimates as 497,667,904 florins of which 100,043,000 florins are derived from the land, house, income, industrial, and other direct taxes: 39,462,500 florins from customs; 88,252,800 florinsfrom excise; 20,
452,000 florins from salt; 77,385,400 florins from tobacco; 18,800,000 florins from stamps; 33080,000 florins from judicial fees; 21,500,000 florins from the state lottery; 3,972,300 florins from direct taxes; 27.930,000 florins from posts and telegraphs: 38,771,950 florins from railroads; 4,122,430 florins from forests and domains; 62,830,336 florins from mines; 2,122,549 florins from state properties; and 3,750,250 florins from other sources. The extraordinary revenue is set down as 16,803,932 florins, making the total receipts of the treasury 514,471,836 florins. The total expenditures are estimated at 535,715,753 florins, of which 486,855,160 florins are for ordinary and 48,860,593 florins for extraordinary urposes. Of the ordinary expenditures 16,24880 florins are allocated to the Ministry of the Interior, 11,944,802 florins to education, 6,459,030 florins to public worship, 1,419,330 florins to the central administration of the Ministry of Worship and Education, 10,458,760 florins to the Ministry of National Defense, 4,650,000 florins to the imperial household, 1,866,914 florins to the Cabinet and Reichsrath, 11,873,162 florins to the Ministry of *..." 92,571,525 florins to the Ministry of Finance, 19,891,100 florins to the Ministry of Justice, 56,756,410 florins to the Ministry of Commerce, 16,696,246 florins to pensions and grants, 99,229,806 florins to contributions for common affairs, 135,680,084 florins to the public debt, and 1,114,011 florins to other accounts. The budget estimates for 1889 make the total revenue 538,515,245 florins, and the expenditure 538,345,786 florins. The chief burden of the general debt of the empire falls on the Cisleithan Monarchy, Hungary contributing only 29,338,000 florins to the total annual interest of the consolidated debt, and Austria 120,851,900 florins. The capital of the general consolidated debt is 2,701,329,831 florins, to which should be added a floating debt of 100,720,991 florins, and annuities that have a capitalized value of 13,710,471 florins. Austria's special debt consists of 881,253,370 florins of consols, a floating debt of 3,006,136 florins, and annuities for the redemption of lands of the capitalized value of 98,952,451 florins. The total debt of Austria amounts to 152 florins per capita, and the interest to 5:32 florins. islation.—The great imperial questions of the tariff and military reform, which have helped to hold together for ten years the heterogeneous elements that com the ministerial majority, having been settled before the beginning of 1889, and the Ausgleich having been renewed after protracted negotiations with Hungary, the Taafe ministry entered on a critical period. The pledges given by the Government embraced reforms in the assessment of the income tax and of various industrial taxes and the reform of the system of criminal and civil procedure. The legal system in civil cases entailed a denial of justice to poor chients, because all pleadings are required to be written and the procedure is prolonged by useless formalities. A new criminal code was adopted in 1889. A law prohibiting the sale of all foreign lottery tickets and the issue of domestic lottery tickets of all kinds, aside from the state lottery, was in March. In accordance with this act, Dr. Dunajewski, the Minister of Finance, rohibited subscriptions in Vienna for a Greek
overnment lottery to raise money for archaeological explorations that had been encouraged by the Austrian Foreign Office. A bill for the restriction of the liquor traffic was drawn up on the basis of reports showing that drunkenness was spreading. The clerical party has induced Dr. Gautsch, the Minister of Education, to introduce voluntary schools, such as the Belgian clericals borrowed from the English system of public education. Amendments to the publicschool law made in the session of 1889 provide that religious instruction shall be imparted and directed by the ecclesiastical authorities with the o of the provincial school authorities, and in case of disagreement, the Minister of Education shall decide. The ecclesiastical authorities have alone to decide what shall be taught. Religious teachers, ecclesiastical authorities, and religious societies must conform to the school laws and the regulations of the educational authorities. Attendance in school is required from the age of seven to the age of fifteen, though after six years of schooling children will be excused from full attendance for good reasons at the request of parents or guardians. Private institutes are subject to the supervision of the educational authorities, and the erection of a public school in any locality can be omitted when there is a private school fullfilling the requirements of the education laws. This clause not only facilitates the establishment of conventual schools, but relieves people patronizing them in many cases from their share of the cost of public education.
Bohemian Politics.-The Rump Diet of Bohemia, from which the German members absent themselves, enacts new measures each year for the preservation of the Czech language and nationality, one of the latest being a law subjecting Czech parents to a fine when they send their children to German schools. The old Czechs, who, through their alliance with the Ultramontanes, the Galicians, and the Feudalists, have secured the equality of their language, do not go far enough to satisfy the awakened aspirations of the Czech nation, which, recalling its ancient glories, is captivated by the extravagent promises of the young Czech party, led by Dr. Gregr. The young Czechs aim to separate Bohemia from Austria, crown the Emperor as King of Bohemia in the capital of St. Wenceslas, and give the restored kingdom an independent constitution and equal rank with Hungary and Austria in the federal empire. In the elections of 1889 the old Czechs lost two thirds of their seats to the young Czechs, retaining forty-one, while the Germans kept the sixty-two seats that they held before. The young Czechs are considered a dangerous and unpatriotic party, not by the Germans alone, but by the friends of the Government. Their organs have often denounced the German alliance, and hinted at a restoration of Bohemia to her place among nations by the aid of Russia. In the debate on the army bill they went as far as the Hungarian Radicals in their opposition to German as the official language of the army, and were the only ones except the Anti-Semites to vote against the bill. The German Liberals were elated over the young Czech victory as a proof of the failure of the Taafe system of concession and compromise;
but the Government, instead of gratifying the Germans by punishing the electors, held fast to the policy that had been successful in averting race conflicts for ten years, appointing Count Thun-Hohenstein to the governorship of Bohemia when it was rendered vacant by the retirement of Baron Krauss. The new governor is attached to the old Czech party, belonging to the section that is most ready to share the ideas of the young Czechs. Riots in Wienna.-A strike of the street-car drivers in Vienna began on Easter Sunday. The men complained that they had to work from fourteen to eighteen hours a day, for wages averagin about a florin and a quarter. They were subject to a vexatious system of fines for delays that are often entirely beyond their control. The public, which had long protested against the overcrowding of cars, sympathized with the "tramway slaves," who also suffered from the avaricious management of the company. There were several encounters between friends of the striking drivers and the police on so In the evening o were sent to patrol the streets, and they likewise were assailed with stones. On Monday the strike became general. The Tramway Company sent out hostlers and inspectors with cars, which were stoned by sympathizers of the striking drivers. The police were powerless, and the cavalry that were sent to clear the streets of the suburbs held by the rioters were received with missiles. Beer shops and cafés were taken possession of and used as fortresses by the rioters, who were no sooner dispersed in one quarter than they appeared in another to continue the disturbances. In the evening infantry were called out to re-enforce the cavalry. The working population of Favoriten and Hernals, not the strikers themselves, tore up the tracks and broke the windows of the cars. Many empty cars were overturned on their routes, and one that was full of §. On Tuesday, while police held the depots and troops guarded the streets, cars were enabled to run until evening, when the rioters held the field, although the troops were largely increased. The Socialists were thought by some to have instigated the disturbance, while others held the Anti-Semites responsible. A well-known Anti-Jewish agitator was said to have been active in preparing the strike. There were many Jews among the directors and stockholders of the company, and hostility toward Jews in general, and Jewish capitalists in particular, was evinced, as was natural with a state of feeling existing among the working-class citizens that had led to the election of 11 Anti-Semites out of 17 new members sent to the Municipal Council. The authorities were reluctant to use extreme measures; but when the Emperor returned to Vienna, he told Baron Krauss, the head of the police, that the riots must be brought to an end. At the same time he showed his sympathy for the grievances of the men on strike by appointing an interview with a deputation of the drivers. The company was finally brought to terms by the action of the Municipal Council in fining it 50,000 florins for breach of its charter in not conveying passengers on holidays, and holding over it a fine of 10,000 florins for every additional day that it continued to withhold the street-car service.

Here in Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia, a very different risk is at the forefront, one often no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence: the deer tick. This critter, so easily overlooked, is the carrier for Lyme Disease. And when you live in Pennsylvania, you
know Lyme Disease well, too well. Someone in your family has had
it. You know someone who has been devastated by it.
When Lyme Disease is straightforward, it is a nuisance that must be knocked out by a month of antibiotics. But when it is overlooked for too long, misdiagnosed, or
just acting funny, it can literally wreak havoc on someone's entire
life, affecting balance, motor skills, mood and causing chronic joint
pain. My friend's mother was misdiagnosed with Lupus for years; turns
out it was Lyme Disease, caught too late, and now she is practically an
invalid, hardly able to walk and needing constant care. Another friend's
brother is an emaciated 136 pounds at 6 feet tall because repeated
antibiotics for Lyme Disease has destroyed his digestive tract. He was
once an active, outdoorsy twenty something, now he is weak, pale, bald,
and spending most of his time trying to regain the health that he lost.
There are many more stories. Too many.
So, how to balance this terrifying and real threat of Lyme Disease with the need for our children, and our selves, to be outside, especially as the weather beckons us out? We all do different things:
I have organically-minded friends who have sprayed their yard with insecticide after 4 cases of Lyme Disease in one season, in their family of 4.
Some use DEET, which is not advised for children.
Some put rose oil or geranium oil on their children.
Some wear long pants and long sleeves in 90+ degree weather. White is best for spotting ticks. (And utterly impractical for young children.)
Some have chickens or guinea hens as pets to roam their backyards and eat the ticks.
Some use Damminix tick tubes.
Some don't go out in the woods, the grass, even the beach. The stress is just too much.
Lyme Disease makes neat play areas like swimming pools, wood-chipped playgrounds and paved basketball and tennis courts much more attractive, not to mention all those indoor play spaces.
In my family we do 'tick checks' every night, inspecting every nook and cranny on our children's perfect little bodies for the insidious creatures who like to hide, who might make them sick for life. We also
have chickens and tick tubes around the yard. The chickens are really
cute, and they give us eggs.
We play outside regularly, and pluck off ticks regularly, and try not to worry. Only one of my three children has had Lyme Disease, and it was a straightforward case: fever, bulls-eye rash at the site of the
bite. But when his knees ache, I wonder if it's growing pains, or Lyme.
It's an insidious kind of worry, that low-grade stress that can get to
me over time, and ask too many questions.
Is it global warming that has made the ticks flourish and spread? Is it that the US has stopped using terrible pesticides like DDT? It is the deer "overpopulation" due to destruction of their
predators and habitat to build more homes for humans? Or is it fragmented forests creating a habitat for mice?
Really, the ticks are just being ticks, doing what ticks are supposed to do. Whatever the exact cause or causes, it's human meddling with nature that has caused this rise in tick-borne diseases (yes, there are others).
Sometimes I think, "Well, ticks are a part of mother nature." And they are, as much as we are. But it doesn't make me feel much better. I just want my kids to grow up to be healthy. And being outside is a
huge part of being healthy. What would life be like without the
feeling of mud between my toes, smelling a flower deeply, or lying down
in the grass and looking up at the clouds through the trees? What would
my children's lives be like without rambles in the woods, climbing
trees, creek walking and chasing fireflies? I don't want to know.
There will always be something that challenges us, big or small, and I think it's how we meet the challenges, how we face risk, that really matters. I hope that's the idea I pass on to my children, anyway.

Chasing Consistency
February 26th, 2019
When I run down the stairs into Riverside Park, with some podcast blaring in my ears and sleep still shaking itself from my eyes, I'm concentrating on two things: 1) not falling onto my face, and 2) the way my feet feel upon the pavement. I am just running. I am running down the hill, to the flat stretch of pavement that will eventually bring me right out onto the Hudson. I'm not considering how this run will impact my day's schedule or the work I should be doing instead. Nor am I thinking about the impending waterscape. Instead, I watch. I'm watching the woman in front of me literally lay down on the pavement to pet her dog's stomach while he rolls around on the grass, or the father in front of me holding his daughter's bike and then, all with one push, one, two, three … he lets go and she's on her own, flying down the pathway for the very first time. ..
Pronoun Problems
February 26th, 2019
I've never liked introducing myself on the first day of classes. Describing my reality in a brief statement comes with the usual difficulty of choosing a fun fact about myself or a favorite movie, and my anxiety adds the worry that I'll somehow stumble over my own name or inexplicably say I'm in the wrong class year. This semester, however, I felt a cautious excitement about it and spent sleepless nights anticipating classes resuming. ..
Can a Psychiatric Research Project Further Mental Health Education in Harlem?
February 25th, 2019
Dr. Sidney Hankerson sits in a circle with reverends, pastors, social workers, public health professors, clinical doctors, and government officials from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Everyone seated finishes tossing and catching a ball of yarn across the circle to form a web that spans the entire room. They are instructed to loosen their grip on their piece of yarn, causing the interlocked threads to slacken and drop to the floor. This, according to the paper in which Hankerson and his co-authors describe their research project centered around mental health awareness programming in Harlem churches, is what happens when some individuals within a community neglect to uphold their responsibilities: The entire community suffers...

Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Tomas Berdych, Stanislas Wawrinka, Juan Martin Del Potro, Richard Gasquet and David Ferrer available to watch live streaming online with Bet365.
The Stoke based firm report that they have recently added tennis and the ATP World Tour Finals from London to their list of live stream 'in play' services, which already includes a variety of football matches from through Europe, together with table tennis, NBA and NHL.
How to watch with Bet365
Don't forget you can watch all the action from the ATP Tour Finals at the O2 in London with Bet365 and their exclusive stream. Click here to navigate through to the landing page and select ' Live Streaming' at the top of the page and continue to watch the games! You can also pick up £200 in free bets along the way!
Click here to watch LIVE with Bet365!
Marketing manager Edward Matthews comments " We hope the addition of the ATP Finals from London will satisfy the needs of our customers, and enhance their user experience on our website. Being able to watch a game online whilst using our in running service is a massive benefit to punters, and with eight of the World's top tennis stars in action this week we are expecting increased turnover and demand for our online television services'
Its sure to be an intriguing week or so from London's O2 Arena, as eight of the top tennis stars do battle in the ATP tour finals. Spanish star Rafael Nadal currently holds the number one spot in the world coming in to the London event, however could lose his position as the best player in the world to Serbian Novak Djokovic, who won the Paris Masters last week.
Nadal has been in imperious form since his return from injury last February, but he could find the pace of the fast indoor courts at the O2 too hot to handle, while Djokovic is the defending champion and is in superb form following his recent victory in the French capital.
Another Spanish hope, David Ferrer is one of the form players coming into the tournament, as he builds on his French Open Final appearance. Recent victory over compatriot Rafael Nadal in France last week will have increased his confidence that he can compete with the best players in the world, and his price of 33/1 may be just too big to ignore for some.
Much of the newspaper headlines coming into this event has been the form of Roger Federer, who had to qualify for his inclusion at London. After defeats at Wimbledon and the US Open plenty has been written, but it would take a foolish punter to write off the chances of the Suiss magician.
His price of 10/1 does speak volumes however.
Hard hitting Juan Martin Del Potro could also come in for some attention, with the Argentine having a good season and is available at 8/1.
Outsiders Stanislas Wawrinka, Richard Gasquet and Tomas Berdych make up the eight in what should be a week of top quality tennis.
There are no British hopes in the tournament as Andy Murray continues to nurse a back injury.

As Sleep Aid Prescriptions Surge, Experts Worry About Side Effects
By Stephanie Saul
Americans are taking sleeping pills like never before, fueled by frenetic work days that do not go gently into a great night's sleep, and lulled by a surge of consumer advertising that promises safe slumber with minimal side effects.
About 42 million sleeping pill prescriptions were filled last year, according to the research company IMS Health, up nearly 60 percent since 2000.
But some experts worry that the drugs are being oversubscribed without sufficient regard to known, if rare, side effects or the implications of long-term use. And they fear doctors may be ignoring other conditions, like depression, that might be the cause of sleeplessness.
Although the newer drugs are not believed to carry the same risk of dependence as older ones like barbiturates, some researchers have reported what is called the "next day" effect, a continued sleepiness hours after awakening from a drug-induced slumber.
Fully 10 percent of Americans report that they regularly struggle to get to sleep or to stay asleep throughout the night. And more and more are turning to a new generation of sleep aids like Ambien, the bestseller, and its newest competitor, Lunesta. Experts acknowledge that insomnia has become a cultural benchmark — the side effect of an overworked, overwrought society.
"Clearly, there's a significant increase in people who report insomnia and, from my perspective, that is the result of our modern day lifestyle," said Dr. Gregg Jacobs, a psychologist and assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard. Or at least that is an impression on which drug makers are clearly trying to capitalize, he said.
And that concerns him and some other researchers who warn that despite their advertised safety, the new generation of sleep aids can sometimes cause strange side effects.

Chicago Opera Theater
at the Athenaeum Theater
April 23, 27, 29, and 30, May 1, 4, and 8, 1988
If one thinks of Cinderella as a children's fairy tale, a la Charles Perrault or Walt Disney, featuring fairy godmothers, pumpkin coaches, and glass slippers, then Rossini's treatment of the story in his opera La Cenerentola ("Cinderella") may seem in many ways unfamiliar, even strange. Rossini chose to turn the story into a sophisticated, sentimental romantic comedy that, by its end, has also become a powerful parable of forgiveness and understanding. In this Cinderella there is no magical transformation from rags to riches--love itself brings about the change, and the metamorphosis that ensues comes as much for those around Cinderella as for the girl herself.
All of this becomes abundantly clear in Chicago Opera Theater's magnificent new production of Cinderella, a Rossini masterpiece that contains some of the finest music to be found in his 30-some operas. A beautiful and tender score with all of the drama and profundity essential to great opera, Cinderella is often neglected because of the demands made on its performers, especially the title role's fiendishly difficult coloratura mezzo-soprano arias.
That problem fortunately was no problem in this production--at least not on opening night. Stella Zambalis as Cinderella offered some brilliant vocal pyrotechnics. She handled the role with ease and style, singing virtually every note of the most difficult runs evenly and on pitch, even during the spots where breathless vocal triplets are sung in relentless succession. Only at the conclusion of the third act did her voice--understandably--become fatigued, but even then her accuracy was amazing.
All of the other singers in this production were also impressive. Glenn Siebert, with a slightly pinched but nonetheless very pleasing tenor voice, was wonderful as the Prince, showing some strain only at the end of act two. The rich, deep baritone of John Fiorito as the stepfather (who replaces the original tale's stepmother) was consistently appealing. Perhaps less appealing but still quite fine were the baritone voices of James Rensink as the Prince's valet, Dandini (who poses as the Prince in acts one and two so the Prince can find a love who knows nothing of his station), and the philosopher (this story's fairy godmother) Alidoro, sung by Greg Ryerson.
The two obnoxious stepsisters were sung with wonderful wit and charm by soprano Janis Knox and mezzo-soprano Kathryn Hartgrove. Both women deliberately and delightfully hammed up all of the worst features of soprano singing (the large vibrato, the volume that overpowers everyone else onstage), recalling Anna Russell. The two consistently stole the funniest moments of the show with their bickering and competition for the Prince's attention.
Louis Salemno conducted the work slowly--at times letting it become a bit ponderous, but still with great control, balance, and precision. His masterful direction caught the orchestral color and subtle details of the score that in Rossini are often lost.
Charles Nelson Reilly was the director. Since the public probably knows Reilly only from the old The Ghost and Mrs. Muir television series and from his frequent game-show and talk-show appearances, they may be tempted to assume that his would be a silly or slapstick approach, much like the company's Cosi fan tutti last season. Nothing could be further from the truth. Reilly, a Tony Award-winning actor and much-acclaimed stage director, is also a lifelong lover of opera who began staging them 12 years ago in Rhode Island with Roberta Peters.
Reilly's direction is amazing for its subtlety and profundity. Many directors routinely reduce Rossini to buffoonery, to a caricature of real life. Reilly instead chooses to view the work as a complex psychological interaction between the main characters--and that interaction stands on its own dramatically. The comic touches are genuinely funny because they are true to life and because the context is so often ironic. Reilly supplies comedy, drama, tension, and resolution, never superimposing his direction on the story and score but drawing the best possible stage action out of both. Seldom is opera directed with the depth and insight of this production.
The acting as well as the singing in Cinderella was top-notch. Both Cinderella and the Prince were played by attractive young people, which helps the story's romantic interest. Their embraces and love seemed genuine. The story's resolution was so tender and so well acted that one couldn't help but be profoundly moved. The opera's timeless lessons--about social stereotyping and human values--were revealed without being preached.
This production, sung in English with excellent diction, is thoroughly entertaining on every possible level.

Abstract and Keywords
Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871–1944) was a geographer, elementary school teacher and principal, and educational reformer, who was active in the early-to-mid 1900s in Japan. As a school leader and scholar-practitioner guided by a passion for supporting teachers and improving education for the happiness of children, Makiguchi scrutinized pedagogy as a science and proposed a number of reforms of the Japanese education system, key elements of which, he believed, were failing teachers and students alike. His proposals included, among many: the establishment of standards of competency expected of school principals as well as a system of examination to uphold these standards; the abolition of a government-led school inspection system that pressured and restricted teachers from freely conducting teaching activities; and the establishment of an "education research institute" and an organization for the training of teachers.
The growing number of modern educational scholars and practitioners paying attention to Makiguchi's work and philosophy find his ideas not only valid and applicable to education in the 21st century but also remarkably innovative and insightful. His proposal for school leadership was still but a voice in the wilderness in the 1930s. It was also a bold and audacious attempt for him, especially at the time of the militarist regime. Makiguchi is often compared with his contemporary John Dewey (1859–1952). Evidently, Makiguchi and Dewey were both visionaries, passionate school leaders, and fearless reformers. Bearing this in mind, Makiguchi deserves much more attention than he has received thus far—at least as much as Dewey, if we are to balance the historical account of progressive education as a transnational phenomenon.
Keywords: Tsunesaburo Makiguchi [牧口常三郎, Makiguchi Tsunesaburō], value-creating pedagogy, Soka [創価, Sōka, value-creation], school leadership, principalship, educational reforms, Japanese education system

Millard Sheets Furniture
Millard Sheets, one of the founding members of the "California Scene Painters," is well-known for his murals and paintings. However, Sheets became heavily involved in modern design and architecture when he founded Millard Sheets Designs Company in 1953. His staff, which included architects, engineers, artists, and draftsmen, completed many projects for private residencies, banks, and government offices1. In the late 1950s, his company designed the Scottish Rite Memorial Temple, located on Wilshire and Lucerne in Los Angeles. Sheets himself designed many aspects of the temple, most notably the theatre and an external mosaic depicting the history of temple building.

Huddersfield Town's travelling fans will see some familiar faces lining up against their side on Saturday.
Defenders Lee Peltier and Sean Morrison and wideman Anthony Pilkington have all been regulars in Russell Slade's team this term.
Right-back Peltier, 28, has had two spells at the John Smith's Stadium, and left Town for Cardiff in January.
The transfer brought a reunion with Slade, his manager at Yeovil Town, from whom Town first signed him in 2009.
After spells at Leicester City and Leeds United, he returned in June 2014 and started last season as skipper.
He lost the armband when Town signed Mark Hudson – from Cardiff!
Peltier's second spell brought nine starts and three substitute appearances.
In his first Town stint, from 2009-11, he made 103 appearances (all starts) and scored three goals.
Centre-back Morrison, 24, was one of Town's Wembley heroes of 2012.
He put away a penalty in the exciting 8-7 shoot-out success over Sheffield United which took Town to the Championship.
Morrison was on loan from Reading, and made 22 appearances, scoring once.
The Swindon Town product joined Cardiff during the 2014 August transfer window.
Pilkington arrived from Norwich City for £1m at the same time.
The Republic of Ireland international played 107 times and scored 25 goals for Town after signing from Stockport County for £300,000 in January 2009.
He joined Norwich in a £3m package in July 2011.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responded Thursday night to a Washington Post story about a 7-year-old immigrant child who had died of severe dehydration while in the custody of U.S. Border Patrol.
The statement, which invokes "drug cartels" and "human smugglers," effectively blamed the child and her father for making the dangerous journey to the United States in the first place. It did not address the fact that the pair may have been trying to enter the country legally through a border port of entry and that the girl was apparently denied care for hours before her death.
"Border Patrol always takes care of individuals in their custody and does everything in their power to keep them safe. Every year the Border Patrol saves hundreds of people who are overcome by the elements between our ports of entry," it read. "Unfortunately, despite our best efforts and the best efforts of the medical team treating the child, we were unable to stop this tragedy from occurring. Once again, we are begging parents to not put themselves or their children at risk attempting to enter illegally."

DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen reiterated this talking point during a Friday morning Fox News appearance saying she "cannot stress enough how dangerous this journey is when migrants choose to come here illegally." She did not acknowledge that the family had been detained near a legal port of entry.
Nielsen also expressed sympathy for DHS itself — and not the girl's family — saying that her "heart goes out to [the agency]."

The 7-year-old was originally taken into custody at around 9:15 p.m. on December 6, near the Antelope Wells port of entry in New Mexico. She and her father, along with a group of about 163 others, turned themselves into U.S. Border Patrol agents and were subsequently bused to a Border Patrol station in Lordsburg, reaching the facility by around 6:30 a.m. on December 7.
The girl's father said his daughter began vomiting on the bus. According to NBC News, CBP agents were notified at 5 a.m. local time that the child had become sick, but she was not treated until the pair arrived at the border station — a full hour and a half later. By that time, officials said, she had stopped breathing.
Around the same time, the girl began having seizures, according Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) records obtained by The Washington Post, and her body temperature had reached 105 degrees.
After being transported to Providence Children's Hospital in El Paso, the girl was "revived" but did not recover. She died less than 24 hours later.
DHS has so far pinned the blame on the girl's father, who they claim said the girl was in good health when the two were detained. The DHS Inspector General's office said Friday it would launch an investigation into the 7-year-old's death.
ThinkProgress has reached out to DHS spokespersons for additional comment on the matter.
The journey from Central America to the U.S. southern border is no doubt treacherous. There are violent gangs and human traffickers posted along popular trails and the weather conditions are frequently intolerable. But the road is dangerous in part because DHS has made it dangerous.
While the Trump administration has urged immigrants to enter the country legally by presenting themselves at ports of entry — as the girl and her family did — border officials have instituted a policy of "metering," allowing only a few people through every day, resulting in overcrowded ports and long wait times. Immigration law enforcement officials have even turned away families and individuals planning to apply for asylum, which is a clear violation of international human rights law.
As a result, some have become desperate, crossing between ports of entry, not because they want to, but out of necessity.
"There is a respect at the border that I don't think people know about. They want to follow the process, they want to follow the procedures," Angelo Guisado, civil rights lawyer at the Center for Constitutional Rights, told ThinkProgress. "But there has to be a breaking point and this is it."
"The administration knows what they are doing and I fear that this is part of a larger plan. They force people to cross between points of entry and use that to feed their campaign talking point that these immigrants are criminals," Guisado said.
There are other ways in which the administration has ensured a treacherous journey to the United States for Central American immigrants.
While CBP claims that the 7-year-old girl had not drunk water or eaten for days when they arrived at the holding facility, there have been documented cases of Border Patrol agents proactively seeking out water jugs left in the desert for migrants by groups like No More Deaths, an advocacy group based in Tuscon, Arizona, and destroying them before the migrants can get to them.
Officials previously denied that destroying water stations was part of CBP policy.
"The Border Patrol shares a common goal with non-governmental organizations to preserve human life and to prevent injury," they said in January, after a video of an agent dumping out water went viral on social media. "We do not condone or encourage destruction or tampering with any water or food caches."
The water that this border patrol agent is pouring into de sand could have saved this little girl's life. Trump and his administration are totally and completely inhuman. #ImpeachTrump video originally taken by @ChetPowell pic.twitter.com/pz5OnqvfUH

Those that do survive the perilous journey to the United States still face a number of dangers, once they've crossed the border successfully.
Migrants processed through border checkpoints — like the 7-year-old and her family — are routinely forced into CBP holding cells to await their next steps. These cells are colloquially referred to as "hieleras" or "iceboxes" by those who have spent the 24-36 hours there before being transferred to a detention center.
In 2016, the National Immigration Law Center filed a lawsuit on behalf of three individuals who were subjected to deplorable conditions inside such CBP holding cells at a facility in Tuscon. Testimony from more than 75 immigrants revealed a litany of unlivable, inhumane conditions.
"The cold made me sick. I felt like I had a fever. My body hurt and I had a headache. My lip started blistering as well," one migrant recalled.
Another migrant recounted, "It was so cold, I had a severe headache and backache. The Border Patrol agents took my sweater from me so all I was wearing was a short sleeve shirt. I tried to curl up on the floor and huddle with some of the other women but I was not able to get warm. During the night, I would wake up often and walk around the cell to try to warm myself up."
In addition to the freezing cold temperatures, holding cells are often packed to the brim, with people forced to sleep on the bathroom floor, if they were able to sleep at all. Migrants have reported a lack of soap and medical care, adequate drinking water, and abuse from the guards.
It's unclear whether the 7-year-old who died in CBP custody had faced such conditions or whether they may have sped up her death, which CBP attributed to exhaustion and dehydration.
However, the horrifying conditions in hieleras have been cited in a slew of other illnesses and fatalities among migrants entering the United States, including Roxana Hernandez, a 33-year-old transgender woman from Honduras who died in May. After five days in a freezing holding cell this past spring, Hernandez was transferred to the transgender unit at the Cibola County Correctional Center, a federal prison facility that contracts with ICE. She lasted one day there before being transferred to a hospital where she died of cardiac arrest and pneumonia.
Immigration activist groups have blamed the conditions and lack of medical care in the hieleras for her death.
CBP currently has the option of moving migrants in its care to temporary living facilities like Annunciation House, a church-run facility that has provided shelter to families detained and separated by ICE. Officials are also allowed to release migrants temporarily, giving them ankle bracelets to ensure they meet their mandatory immigration court dates, but the administration has repeatedly admonished this so-called "catch and release" policy, even though it has proven successful and significantly cheaper than current practices.

You have the right to not read this. Your have the right to remain with a silent mind. There is much for discovery that is unexplained and unexplored. Turning up the brightness or turning on the darkness in your mind is your choice. If this perplexus does not detour you,,,,, come into a blue letter shape of thinking. A helmet alignment awaits you. There is a wrap called Angel Winds; it is a breathable membrane Cocoon.
At first you will feel as though you are entering darkness because you are arriving through the abstract door. But soon, as you continue through this secret pavilion of encircling darkness, you will enter a holy hail which is a state of mental diamond stars of light (compare Psalms 18:11-13 KJV).
This living breath experience is not a randomization happening. It is a optimization of an applied reality. Here by the flip of a desire second, dream light turns on (compare Job 33:14-16 KJV); yet in suspended animation the instruction is not perceived even though it is sown in the deep mind. So then, in the nevertheless fluid of thought, this twice told radian frequency identification signal aligns the algorithms of chance to configure such a spiritual strength on your side that there is a virtual defeat of your enemies by proxy for eradicating the real thing (Psalms 18:36-37 KJV) .
At this moment the heavens bow in recognition of the darkness of the night upon which you stand, for the stars are yours; and for the first time you can read their numbers as you ride with God, flying on the wings of the wind-breath of a Cherub (compare Psalms 18:9-11 and Psalms 147:4 KJV).
Theoretically, it is said the Sun of our planet Earth will, in approximately five billion years, use up its atomic fuel and transform into a crystallized carbon diamond star with real carats of value. Well, it has been discovered that there are a very many crystallized carbon diamond stars in the universe. In fact, there is one such star 50,000 light years from Earth that can be seen by telescope, which they estimate has 10 billion trillion trillion carats of diamond. It is 2500 miles in diameter, making it two-thirds the size of the Earth.
In Acrtura, the Arctursians use diamonds for spacecraft fuel. It is said: "The wise shall shine as the stars for ever". When the wise are finished shining as stars, then, during the interlude, they will become as diamonds – so then, symbolically, the wise-to-stars, stars-to-diamonds and diamonds-to-the-Heaven-of-heavens.
The holy cocoon calls those who seek to overcome to the secret place of the stairs (compare Song of Solomon 2:14 KJV), to the secret place of thunders (compare Psalms 81:7 KJV). Come to the secret new manna, and touch the white stone of syntonic fire (compare Revelation 2:17 KJV). With stammering lips and tongues of angels, you will be taught to speak words that name the name of the miracles to happen.
The holy cocoon is alive with Shekinah glory where the strife of tongues are taught to cease (compare Psalms 31:20 KJV).

"How long? As long as they need it, and as long as the Venezuelan government needs them. It all is being done based on bilateral agreements," the diplomat said in response to a question, adding that "there are international and bilateral legal frameworks for it", TASS reported.
US President Donald Trump has warned that Moscow must get out of Venezuela. Speaking at the White House, Trump also warned that "all options are open" when it comes to getting Russia out of Venezuela.
Around 100 Russian troops touched down in Caracas on Saturday, a show of support for President Nicolas Maduro's government.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said in reply to Washington's threat over Venezuela that the Donald Trump administration should make good on its own promise to pull troops out of Syria before telling others where they should or shouldn't be.
"Before they have their say in the lawful interests of other nations, I would advise the US administration to fulfill the promises that it had given to the international community," Zakharova stated, referring to Trump's pledge to get American troops out of Syria, RT reported.
The US is behaving like a "cowboy in the Louvre", undermining international order with its "chaotic moves and unpredictable behavior," Zakharova added.
The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed on Wednesday that two of its military planes arrived in Venezuela as part of a 2001 military cooperation deal that does not require further approval by the Venezuelan National Assembly, which has been taken over by the opposition and the self-proclaimed 'interim president' Juan Guaido. The planes carrying up to 100 Russian military specialists and cargo landed outside Caracas on Saturday, prompting wild guesses in the media.
