What is up fantasy champions? Hopefully its your DFS balance! Ha Ha! Lets start with reviewing our picks from yesterday.

Catcher – Dioner Navarro $2,200

Screen Shot 2015-06-22 at 4.42.59 PM

Navarro went off yesterday, going 3 for 4, with a HR and a double. Thats quite a show from Navarro. Best of all, he only cost $2,200.

Infielder – Brian Dozier $3,900

Screen Shot 2015-06-22 at 4.54.28 PM

Brian Dozier also produced, going 2 for 5, with a HR and 3 RBIs. Again.. you’re welcome!

Outfielder – Mike Trout $5,200

Screen Shot 2015-06-22 at 5.04.27 PM

Mike Trout went hitless last night. Thats usually not the case. I’d take an 1.383 OPS against the opposing pitcher any day.

So we went 2 for 3 in our report. TWW always delivers! Here is a preview of who The Wagner Wire likes in tonight’s MLB contests…

(TWW Wiretap ) – Adam LaRoche $2,200

Screen Shot 2015-06-23 at 1.46.14 PM

Adding value to your buck, TWW Wiretap provides a good hitter at a low price. Adam LaRoche faces Pelfrey (5-3, 2.97). LaRoche has great career numbers v Pelfrey, producing a .688 avg and a 1.762 OPS.

Infielder – Todd Frazier $5,100

Screen Shot 2015-06-23 at 1.36.03 PM

The Toddfather will swing away against Locke (4-4, 4.74). Frazier career line against Locke is .444 with a pair of HRs and a 1.333 OPS.

Outfielder – Joc Pederson $3,800

Screen Shot 2015-06-23 at 1.49.45 PM

This is my selection for NL-ROTY! He does it all. The avg may be a little daunting, but Pederson can crush the ball. He had another HR last night, bringing his season line of .252, 19, 36, .944. He faces Hammel (5-2, 2.89), who throws right, allowing Pederson to put that left-handed power on display.

Ok Champs, to see our selection for Pitcher unlock the rest of our lineup, purchase it through Paypal. Enjoy!

As Opposed to the Sand image

As Opposed to the Sand

How do we know which biblical commands to follow, and which ones not to? Last week, I summarised the problem like this:

For some, the distinction is simply that some bits of the Bible are ‘cultural’, and some bits are ‘timeless’. But this simply begs the question: it is another way of saying, ‘we still do these bits, and we don’t do those bits.’ What is often lacking is a reason from within the text that demonstrates Paul, or whoever, is moving from ‘cultural’ to ‘timeless’ instructions. To take 1 Corinthians 11-14 as an example, there is nothing in the structure of what Paul has written that implies his instructions about head coverings or silence in churches are any more ‘cultural’ than those about spiritual gifts. The Brethren did the first two and not the last one; most modern charismatics do the last one and not the first two. But why? What hermeneutical justification exists for doing this?
Then, of course, we have Jed Bartlett’s questions from The West Wing. “If,” he says to a conservative radio host, “you agree with Leviticus that homosexuality is an abomination: what would be a good price for my daughter when I sell her into slavery? Do I really have to stone my Chief of Staff for working Sundays? Or put to death disobedient children, or people who grow mixed crops, or sleep under blankets of different threads? If touching pigskin is forbidden, then do the Redskins have to wear gloves? Notre Dame? Westpoint? And if not, why not?”

Answering these questions involves considering four related questions about the Bible. (1) Is the Bible a story, such that instructions that appear in one place might not apply everywhere else? (2) If so, what shape is this story? Where are the chapter breaks, so to speak, which signpost to us that a new phase has begun, and previous imperatives may no longer apply in the same way? (3) Bearing in mind all of this, which imperatives would we expect to apply to us today? (4) Are there any exceptions? Why / why not? Let’s look briefly at each of these, in order.
(1) Biblical hermeneutics makes very little sense without the recognition that the Bible is fundamentally a narrative, a huge story. The scriptures are an unfolding drama of God’s dealings with his people, and things that he commands them to do at one point in the story do not necessarily apply in the same way later on. To use a Lord of the Rings analogy: at the start of The Fellowship of the Ring, Gandalf tells Frodo and Sam to go to the ‘Prancing Pony’ in Bree, which they do. But if, midway through The Return of the King, they had suddenly remembered his instruction and decided to head out of Mordor and back to Bree, they would have completely missed the point – because the story had moved on, and although Bree was a forward step at the time, it would be a backward step now. If the Bible were a rulebook, a handbook for life that exists without reference to narrative or unfolding events, then we would all be obliged to obey all its commandments equally (as devout Muslims should with the Qur’an). But because it is a story, instructions that appear in one chapter should not necessarily be taken as binding on people in subsequent chapters. That’s why we don’t kill people for planting mixed crops.
(2) The next question, then, is: what shape is this story? It is (relatively) easy to see that the stipulations of the Mosaic law do not, in their entirety, govern the lives of modern believers, but less easy to see whether the same is true of Genesis 9, or Amos 5, or Matthew 6, or 1 Corinthians 11. How are God’s story, and our place within it, to be understood? And how does a ‘story’ function as authoritative in the first place? (As Tom Wright points out, if the drill sergeant walks onto the parade ground and begins, ‘Once upon a time’, the soldiers will likely be confused as to how his authority is being exercised!) Several answers to that question have been suggested, of which the following four are perhaps the most significant.
Dispensationalist hermeneutics. Dispensationalists divide the history of God and his world into distinct phases, in chronological succession. One common version is the sevenfold division:
1. Edenic (Gen 1-3)
2. Civil government (Gen 4-11)
3. Patriarchal (Gen 12 - Ex 19)
4. Law (Ex 20 – Acts 1)
5. Grace (Acts 2 – Rev 19)
6. Millennium (Rev 20:1-6)
7. Eternity (Rev 20-22)
Covenant theology hermeneutics. The historic approach of Reformed interpreters has been to see God’s big story in terms of three covenants:
1. Covenant of redemption: the plan within the Godhead to redeem humanity.
2. Covenant of works: in the garden, man is given the choice to obey and receive life, or disobey and receive death. The Mosaic covenant is a reiteration of the covenant of works: ‘the man who does these things shall live by them.’
3. Covenant of grace: God unconditionally saves those who put their faith in him. The Noahic, Abrahamic, Davidic and New Covenants are all expressions of the covenant of grace.
Five Act Play hermeneutics. This is the approach most clearly advocated by Tom Wright, in which God’s story is seen as a five act play:
1. Creation
2. Fall
3. Israel
4. Jesus
5. Church
The Scriptures represent Acts I-IV and the first and last scenes of Act V, and today, we live in Act V, in between the start of the church (Acts 2) and the consummation of all things (Rom 8; Rev 21-22; 1 Cor 15; etc). Wright uses the analogy of a group of experienced actors performing a guided improvisation of Act V, based on the script they have been given of the first four acts, and the first and last scenes of the fifth. This, he argues, is the way the church responds to the Bible’s authoritative story.
Redemptive-movement hermeneutics (or ‘trajectory hermeneutics’). The proposal of William Webb and others is that we see in the Bible a trajectory of redemption, or increasing freedom and liberation. Thus, in the earliest parts of the Scriptures, slavery is legislated; then it is critiqued; then, in the New Testament, seeds are sown for its abolition but without explicit instructions; and today, based on that trajectory within Scripture, we can know that abolishing slavery is God’s will. In that sense, we apply the Bible to contemporary decisions by sensing the redemptive spirit of the text, seeing the direction in which God’s story is moving – towards what Webb calls an ‘ultimate ethic’ – and living by this ultimate ethic, not what the Bible itself tells us to do.
Critiquing each of these models would be foolhardy in a textbook, let alone a blog post, so I will simply give links to (what I regard as) helpful responses to dispensationalism, covenant theology and redemptive-movement hermeneutics. Wright’s ‘Five Act Play’ model, which he argues for at some length in The New Testament and the People of God and which has a number of affinities with Kevin Vanhoozer’s approach in The Drama of Doctrine, is to my mind the best approach, largely because it resembles most closely the way that the apostles saw the shape of the biblical story. It coheres very well with the logic of (say) Galatians, Romans and Hebrews, in which the solution to the problem of Adam (I-II) begins through Abraham’s family (III) and comes to a head in Jesus (IV), launching the Spirit-empowered church out as witnesses to a new covenant and a new creation (V). For what it is worth, it seems also to have gained remarkably broad support:  Wright’s book on Scripture, Scripture and the Authority of God, received commendations from J. I. Packer, Ben Witherington and Brian Maclaren, which is roughly equivalent to a book on evolution being endorsed by both Richard Dawkins and Ken Ham. It is worth reading a summary of Wright’s argument, but the proof of the pudding is, of course, in the eating.
(3) For all that, the way in which biblical imperatives function as authoritative over believers today will be seen in a very similar way by Covenant Theologians as by advocates of the Five Act Play (and in fact, some may hold to both together). Essentially, both will read the scriptures as an unfolding story, and therefore both will see the imperatives of the New Testament - Acts IV and V - as binding over believers in a way that those of the Old Testament are not. For example, both would agree that if an imperative appears in Act V, and is not obviously restricted to a specific congregation or individual (like ‘Greet Mary’ or ‘Fetch the parchments’), or to a specific time period (‘Go nowhere among the Gentiles’), then new covenant believers are called to submit to it and seek to obey it.
(4) Even then, however, a few questions will remain. If modern believers are intended to submit themselves to, and obey, all the imperatives addressed to new covenant Christians, then are there any exceptions? What about head coverings (1 Cor 11:2-16), footwashing (John 13:14), women wearing jewellery and braided hair (1 Tim 2:9; 1 Pet 3:3), silence in churches for women (1 Cor 14:33-35) and holy kisses (Rom 16:16; 1 Cor 16:20; etc)?
In fact, the issue isn’t quite as complicated as it might seem. The instructions about braided hair, jewellery and clothing are to do with how women make themselves beautiful (that is, through character rather than physical appearance), not to do with whether women can or should wear jewellery or clothes at all; the same point is made more graphically in Proverbs 11:22. And other than the passage about silence in the churches – which, as the rest of 1 Corinthians makes clear, cannot be a blanket prohibition of women speaking in a church meeting (cf. 1 Cor 11:5), and must therefore be understood as prohibiting a particular type of speech (probably cross-examining their husbands while they were prophesying) – the others above are all instructions about physical symbols which, in the context of first century Jewish or Greco-Roman culture, represent spiritual realities. So a holy kiss is a physical symbol of brotherly affection; head coverings represent respectable, sexually faithful femininity; footwashing demonstrates humility (cf. 1 Tim 5:10). However, in different cultures, those physical actions may not always have the same symbolic significance. In many cultures, men kissing men would suggest brotherly affection, but in the UK today it connotes other things, so other expressions of ‘brotherliness’ need to be cultivated. Footwashing, when Jesus did it, was a sign of humility, but it isn’t in contemporary Britain (and in fact, leaders washing the feet of their congregation could have the effect of magnifying, not diminishing, the split between leaders and laity), so leaders might need to express humility in other ways. In churches in many parts of the world, head coverings still mean pretty much what they meant in Corinth – but in some cultures, including mine, they do not, and alternative ways of using dress to express respectable, sexually faithful femininity may need to be found.
Do we, then, overthrow the authority of Scripture with this hermeneutic? By no means! Rather, we uphold it. In each case, our intention is to submit to the authority of God, in the scriptures, and in some cases this may mean translating physical symbols from one culture to another. It is surely more biblically faithful, if faced with a choice between preserving the meaning of the symbol or the symbol itself, to preserve the former – although in the vast majority of cases, of course, that is not a choice we have to make.
Taking all these ideas together, then, I am arguing for something like a Five Act Play view of God’s story, and a commitment to obeying the imperatives addressed to new covenant believers, with the exception of commands clearly related to specific individuals (e.g. 2 Tim 4:13) and commands which clearly applied for a limited period (e.g. Matt 10:5-6; Acts 15:19-21). In a handful of cases, this may mean finding different physical symbols to express the spiritual reality the scriptures were highlighting. But usually, it will mean nothing more than hearing the words of God, and putting them into practice. Kind of like a man who built his house on rock.

Scallops on Ice

It snowed for much of yesterday. This morning, however, is clear and very cold. It’s -14C (-25F when you account for wind chill caused by gale force winds). It is miserable.

I went out and took a few photos this morning – one reason this post is later than usual. The other is that I touched the power bar with my foot and accidentally turned off the computer. When I rebooted Windows seized the opportunity to update (of course it did).

The frigid air temperature means we have sea smoke (or, as the locals prefer, vapour) with is very pretty. At least to me. After all I could get these pics sitting in a nice warm car.

A few boats headed out today. At least one of the big ones is crossing over to Grand Manan, the rest of the hardy souls are staying closer inshore.

The scallop season has been opened for a 2 week duration. At the end of that period Fisheries will decide whether or not they’ll allow further dragging.

Honestly, based on the catches so far there’s little reason to believe the quota will be reached anytime soon. The poor results to-date explains in part why these guys are out there. Primarily though, as I’ve said many times, they’re nuts.

Winter lobster and scallop fishing is a great test of endurance. Who needs Bear Grylls to take you on an outdoor adventure to find your limits? Get in one of these boats and spend 12 to 18 hours on your feet banding lobsters or shocking scallops.

Or be like me. Admit defeat before you start and stay warm inside. 🙂

  1. love the sea smoke capture! crazy weather the January for sure – it was over 70 F on Sunday, today we have wind chills in the teens. I’ve been inside since Tuesday evening. 🙂 Not sure I’d even venture out in a warm car with wind chill at -25. You are an intrepid soul!

Five Ways to Lessen the Stress of the Festive Season

Spread out your Christmas shopping:

It is very easy to push the great task of Christmas shopping to the last minute. Don’t! As soon as you can stomach the idea of planning, make a list of the gifts you will need to buy over the next few weeks. Add a ‘buy by’ date and stick to it.

Be okay with saying ‘no’:

We all can’t seem to escape the pressure of needing to get everything done, go to every Christmas event, and wrap everything up with a perfect bow. Allow yourself to simply take some things off of your plate to lower how stressed you might be feeling. Don’t go to the office party if you don’t particularly care for your colleagues or it’s too expensive. Can’t find the time or money to even get any gifts wrapped this year? Be kind to yourself and give the gift to your loved one as is. In most cases, they will still feel loved and appreciated, even if they have to close their eyes while you hand them the gift.

Create new traditions:

Are there new ways of ‘doing Christmas’ that you can begin to incorporate this year? Maybe it’s doing gift exchanges with your friends Secret Santa style. (This limits your gift buying count to just one thoughtful or funny gift). Maybe it’s eating Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve. (We began doing this the first Christmas after Mum died and we’ve stuck with it.) You are in control of your future traditions. Start this year by making them exactly how you want them.

Put thought into your own Christmas wish list:

It is so easy to brush off the question with a simple answer of, “Oh, I don’t need anything” when asked what you would like for Christmas. If you have some people in your life that are being gracious enough to give you a little something, try to make it something you know you will use and will make your life better. Have you been in need of a new teapot? Or, if you are like me, a book token or a voucher to my local coffee shop could be the most welcome gift in my stocking on Christmas morning.

Surround yourself with your people:

At the end of the day, the festive period should be spent with those that you love and care about most. Choose who you wish to surround yourself with this year. If your friends are feeling the most like home to you, make those plans. Invite in-laws, friends with no holiday plans, and significant others to your home for a special day. You are in control of who you surround yourself with.

  1. All excellent reminders. Many of the festivities can be quite wonderful or can over whelm us ever so quickly. Mr Man & I have developed some very special (non fussy) traditions which we treasure as part of “our” Christmas. We have also solved our our struggle with gift wrap by using Christmas print fabric bags (Greta would be proud of us) which are used every year. We do paper wrap 1-2 gifts so the cats have paper to play in. (sorry Greta).

  2. That’s a very helpful and useful list … I had to smile at number four because I am very bad at this. A book token is always such a welcome gift, isn’t it. We’re using brown paper again this year, but I like the idea of Mary Lou’s fabric bags.

  3. I’m at that ‘Oh my goodness, it’s next week’ stage! Lists are starting to appear – and I have to keep reminding myself that it is only a glorified Sunday roast – I don’t need to try incorporating any fancy dishes that I see on the TV or in magazines, I will only stress myself out! It is nice to find your own family traditions and I love to see how our children are starting their own traditions now they have their own families.

Friends need to be punished

Astrally Yours...

I've talked about this a lot with various friends but I finally got around to drawing my true feelings on the subject of "soul siblings". Me? Cynical? Never :) I guess the concept is just not for me. *shrugs*

Gotta catch..er..friend em all!

Desc. From ArtSpots:

To me the concept of "soul siblings" has lately turned from friends you're really close with to some sort of perverse collecting game. Hm. I wonder if they make pewter miniatures.

Characters featured/mentioned: Niko, Snow Wolf, Likeshine, Westly, Vantid, Silver Huskey. You are all now part of my collection *rubs hands*

In video I say how vital it is we #HoldThemToAccount, one way is just not letting this govt get away with pretend the lie they have got brexit done! So keep sharing things with those less involved on issues, such as videos like this that flag complexities & trade offs.. 2/8
Also there are so many articles out there that will show the complexities and the govt lack of preparedness and keep flagging things like this to make it clear it’s govt decisions to blame for any ramifications, #MakeThemOwnIt.

On the 19th October 2019 we travelled from Cheshire on trains coaches and automobiles for a #PeopleVoteMarch to demand a chance to have a say on this #brexitshambles which threatens our jobs, our families, our rights and freedoms /thread

We had a little song song on the way to pass the time on the road #singingtoremain
We assembled before joining the march. As we walked through the streets of our capital city we were cheered and smiled at and given the thumbs up. #FinalSay

On Wednesday & Thursday this week (thanks to many of you who generously donated to our crowdfund) a group of #RemainerNow are heading to Brussels to meet with MEPs & officials to show that the UK has changed its mind on Brexit. So what's happening?

The plans include:

🔺 A 2 hour sit down with numerous MEPs and officials from several countries
🔺A media session arranged by several UK MEPs
🔺Lunch meetings with several others
🔺A tour of the various buildings
🔺Meeting up with Brussels based anti-brexit activists.

The UK MEPs who we are definitely meeting include @MartinChelt & @CarolineVoaden of the @libdems, @SebDance & @RCorbettMEP from Labour & @AlynSmith from @theSNP. So do keep an eye on feeds.

Sadly Green MEPs are not actually in Brussels but they are supportive of the trip.

Tomorrow will be 22 months tomorrow since I (Andy) set up @RemainerNow Twitter account as I felt those whom have changed their minds are the most vital voices in this debate & wanted to do something to get them heard.

(Help us do more
I had no political experience at the time, prior the the referendum result I had never been out campaigning or been a member of a political party.

About 6 weeks after starting @victoriaremain1 reached out to say she had worked on campaigns and wanted to help me grow this

After meeting she came on board & for the first year it was just the two of us doing this in our spare time. We set up a website, Facebook page and an Instagram, arranged a 3 events in parliament & a meet ups for #PeoplesVote marches but was a limit to what we could do.

Thread alert. This has probably been done before but basically, I'm a #RemainerNow and I thought I would have a look through my old tweets out of curiosity & respond to them correcting myself & pointing out how silly I was. So here goes.
Verhofstadt is an MEP! He was elected by the people of Belgium in the European Parliament elections!

As has been revealed since by the Govt's own info, the worst case scenario was right. But the Leave campaign dismissed it as Project Fear and enough people believed them to affect the result. But now we have a chance to avoid that worst case scenario.

1/ #RemainerNow @RemainerNow @JamieWoodhouse Over three years ago I voted to leave because I saw the EU as undemocratic, bureaucratic and as having too much influence in UK domestic policy.
@RemainerNow @JamieWoodhouse 2/ I thought that by leaving the EU power would be able to be clawed back to the UK parliament.
More recently, however, I have realised that leaving the EU will cause massive damage to this economy. We no longer live in a bygone age of Britain being able to conduct trade on…
@RemainerNow @JamieWoodhouse 3/ …its own as it used to in the early 1900s - trade today is done in large blocs and by us not being in one of those blocks (the EU) we will be open to being walked all over by The US, China etc as we simply don’t have the economic power in comparison to dictate trade terms…

well, that was a #hairy #few #minutes, I have no #hashtags left to use about the #uksc.

The UK if you've missed it, is, possibly surprisingly, a #democracy and #democracyisnotdead

Should we talk about consequences? implications and links? might go into threads from here on in
I'm making this thread up as I go, but since about 90% of the population think the only Democratic problem is the speed of #Brexit, and #conspiracy about #RemainerNow delays, maybe someone should list all the attacks - most of which are far more serious. I'll justify that #uksc
Here's my view, feel free to add. I'll put this in normal language first, and add relevant legals after.

1) UK Executive and Tories (UKET) attempt Rule by Edict
2) UKET attempt a Parliamentary Coup (we may now legitimately describe it that way)
3) UKET illegally suspend Parl'

The @RemainerNow team were at #LDConf for a few days we had a stand and an event. The idea was to raise awareness amongst activists but also meet/chat to parliamentarians so they could learn more about us & how we could help them & anti-brexit colleagues.

Here is who we met 👇
First here are the parliamentarians we met on the exhibition stand we had. They came and talked to us about our campaign & how they can help, they heard #RemainerNow stories, saw some video content and collected handouts and our new business cards.

For the past 4 days we had a stand at the #LibDemConf. When we arranged it we thought we would not meet many who voted leave and the main aim was to raise awareness to get people to help amplify their voices. But we were wrong, we met many new #RemainerNow guys.

So the Boris honeymoon must be over now that Leavers are hating on him as much as Remainers. So while you #BoycottWetherspoons
maybe you can find a someone from the other side and play a game
With Boris' mense horribilis barely out of the way, it got me thinking, these guys and gals are lasting less and less time

We used to ger 7-10 years out of a PM, now we're lucky if 10 months go by before they're up for grabs.

But hell that means we should already know...
Who's next, unless Rory has a sudden bout of leave love, or Jeremy gets a strategy, we are gonna be

and that's the game that'll bring us together

We're going to build the biggest profile of Prime Ministers in history

Hi all, jut wanted to let you know that I'm taking some time out for a while.
I need some space to reflect - the last few days I have been incensed by the vitriol of some of the Remain community and the way in which they have been describing those who voted Leave.
Some of that criticism has been extremely defamatory, using vile stereotyping and, in my view, makes Remainers look bitter & superior. I'm not talking about the natural anger for pro-Brexit politicians or the media figures, they are fair targets in some cases.
I'm referring to people assuming many of my family and friends are racist, stupid and ignorant. So, I cannot right now, in all conscience, support a #RemainerNow campaign which encourages Leave voters to 'come over to the side' which has some extremely nasty voices in it.

I've been intended to do a thread on reasons why people change their mind and becoming #RemainerNow. Turns out @JamieWoodhouse had done all the legwork for me so here's his article and I'm going to quote each reason in a tweet of its own as well…
@JamieWoodhouse "I just want it to be over (remaining is the only way)"
This is true, if we leave with a deal or no deal, we'll be negotiating our trade agreement for years. If you want it over (and who doesn't?) then revoking A50, which we can do unilaterally and at any time, is the only way.
@JamieWoodhouse "The Brexits on offer in 2019 are so different from 2016 promises (sunlit uplands, easiest deal ever)"

Not a #RemainerNow but a quick thread on Government ministers calling #Proroguing Parliament an outrage just a few weeks ago.

Will they now do the honourable thing and resign?

Do feel free to send any we miss.

First it's Chancellor @sajidjavid, so how about it do you have any principles at all? #timetoresign

Second, how about Health Secretary @MattHancock, do you have any principles or is your job more important than credibility and your country?

As someone who is a #Remainernow , I’m going give out some advice on how to convince people who voted leave, to back staying in the EU, this is more geared towards people who are indifferent/soft Leave etc...Rather than those fully committed etc ...@RemainerNow #FinalSayForAll
1. Go with mindset to change their minds, rather than convince them they are wrong,most people do not like being told they are wrong, much less even admitting it, besides them realising they are wrong will come later.
2. Understand & accept the fact that the changing of minds will take longer than a 5 minute chat, be it face to face,Social Media,Email etc.. if you don’t know a particular answer to a point they have made, then “park” it and resume that particular point later, don’t bullshit.

I’ve been thinking a lot about morale and the fact that Johnson pulling in Vote Leave team is a visible effort to destroy morale

Psychological warfare

But we have intelligence on our side

Now we need to build resilience.

It only works if you LET it work
We have achieved more than those Brexiter buggers ever thought possible sometimes with little help from MSM.

31.3.2019. Still EU Members

Ditto. April 2019.

Ditto May 2019

Ditto June 2019

Ditto July 2019

Ditto August 2019

Ditto September 2019

Sometimes you just have to hold the line of resistance and keep shifting it back.

WE have done that. YOU have done that.

Many many MPs have defied their own parties to do that. Maybe not perfectly, but nevertheless.

In order to mark 3 years since the disastrous EU referendum, our group was out campaigning on the streets of #chester for the whole weekend. We wanted to speak to residents and visitors about what #brexit issues were on their mind.
It was a busy weekend as our action weekend coincided with the Midsummer Watch Parade so the streets were very busy with residents and visitors. We had our new banners to show off. Say no to No-deal. We have the best deal.
So what was the vibe? Well I have several conversations reported to me. One couple from Ellesmere Port had voted leave but are #RemainerNow. They made the excellent point that 6 years ago nobody was bothered about the EU so why was it suddenly made a problem?

We’re deluded.
We colluded,
With Russia and the Alt Right crowd.
And we won’t be cowed.

We’ll Brexit, the harder the better.
Ignoring the law by principle and letter.
It’s the EU’s legislation on ex-pat tax,
That really put up our backs.

The EU referendum was won by cheating and lies.
The fact that there are Remoaners is really no surprise.

Police inspect a demolished film set where a worker died in an accident at a film lot during preparations for the shooting of a new Martin Scorsese movie titled "Silence," in Taipei, Taiwan, Thursday, Jan. 29.
January 29, 2015

One worker died and two others were injured when an old structure under renovation for Martin Scorsese’s next film, “Silence,” collapsed on Thursday in Taiwan.

The workers were fortifying the 83-year-old structure at the Chinese Culture and Movie Center ahead of production for Scorsese’s historical drama, based on the book by Shusaku Endo, about Jesuit priests facing resistance in 17-th century Japan, according to the LA Times.

The film, casting Adam Driver, Andrew Garfield and Liam Neeson, is scheduled for release next year.

Scorsese and other core crewmembers were not at the site at the time of the accident, the LA Times reports.

Not Nitish Kumar, Upendra Kushwaha has to be the CM: RLSP

Patna: BJP is getting several bad news from alliance partners and this one is coming from Bihar. Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) leader Nagmani on Thursday said that Nitish Kumar is not the only Chief Ministerial candidate from Bihar, and demanded that RLSP leader Upendra Kushwaha be considered as the chief ministerial candidate for the state.

He said, “If NDA has to win big in Lok Sabha elections and assembly elections in Bihar then Upendra Kushwaha has to be the CM. We are not against Nitish Kumar, but in today’s circumstances NDA can’t win with Nitish as face.”
Taking a jibe at Nitish Kumar, Nagmani said that the latter could switch from one party to the other any time.
Nagmani said, “We are a bigger party than JDU, we have three seats in Lok Sabha and JDU has two. We can’t accept Nitish Kumar as our leader, he can make a uturn again and go back to Laluji, can’t trust.”
Meanwhile, Rashtriya Lok Samta Party leader and Union minister of state for HRD Upendra Kushwaha has also announced that he will not take part in the NDA dinner to be hosted by the BJP in Patna today.

Top 5 Easiest Vegetables To Grow From Seed

Wondering what vegetables to grow in your garden?  The top 5 easiest vegetables to grow from seed are Lettuce, Peas, Tomatoes, Cucumbers and Peppers.  Today Tina is giving us the low-down on Seed 101 with detailed instructions on how to grow from seed.

Vegetables To Grow

how to grow from seed

In the world today, more and more people are venturing into the realm of vegetable gardening for themselves. This is partly due to the rise in the cost of everyday living and the ever growing desire to consume as much organic fruits and vegetables to grow as possible. I personally think this is a wonderful move for our economy. Here I will teach you about some of the easiest vegetables to grow from seed that will save you big bucks at the grocery store and give you the confidence that you know what you and your family are eating.

The top 5 easiest vegetables to grow from seed are
Lettuce, Peas, Tomatoes, Cucumbers and Peppers.

Lettuce – Particularly leaf lettuce like Romaine and Red sails simple to grow and taste great. They are a cool weather crop that can be planted directly outdoors in early Spring, 4-6 weeks before the last frost, and in the late Summer, to give you a Fall harvest. Either in your designated vegetable bed or a large planter, moisten the soil and sow the seeds right on top of soil and lightly cover with a fine soil. Firm lightly and keep evenly moist. They like full sun to partial shade and will be ready to harvest in about 45 days. To harvest, I recommend trimming only what you need for that day from the outer most leaves, leaving the “center crown” in-tact to continue growing and harvesting from.

How To Grow From Seed

Peas – Are a cool season crop and can be planted as soon as the soil can be worked in the Spring. Sow them about 1″ deep and three inches apart, with a trellis to grow upon. Water deeply and keep moist until they sprout. You can harvest the pods when they are young and plump. Store them in an airtight container in the freezer until you have enough to prepare with a meal.

Tomatoes – Dudes and Dudetts, I am here to tell you that Tomatoes are one of the hardiest plants of the edible plant world that there ever were! They are like weeds in the garden, ready to take over! Some great choices for easy, delicious Tomatoes, that you can grow yourself are ‘Chadwick’s Cherry’ and (my personal favorite) ‘Brandywine’, or check out this extensive variety list at . To get a head start, plant seeds indoors about 6 weeks before your last frost date. Be sure to plant them in a good quality, seed starting soil mix, like “Fafard” Seed Starting Mix. Place 3-6 seeds on top of moistened soil and cover with about 1/4″ of soil. Mist soil and keep them moist until germination. Keep them in a very sunny window or under grow lights. Before planting in the garden, “harden” them off by putting them outside near their new home, but protected from direct sunlight, just during the day for about a week. Then, when ready to plant outside, one tip for stronger plants, is to plant them deep, all the way up to the first set of leaves! Keep deeply watered and harvest ripe fruit immediately. As far as pest that might munch on the leaves, hand picking them off is probably the most “organic” way to go!

Tomato Seedlings

Cucumbers – The seeds are large and easy to handle. They are a hot weather crop that can be planted directly in the garden, skipping the process of starting indoors. Sow the seeds in the garden, about an inch deep and keep moist until sprouting above ground. If it is a climber, make sure you have a trellis to support the vines. Bush varieties can be planted without trellis. To prevent the spread of fungus, be sure that when you water, you don’t get water on the foliage. Frequent harvesting is key to heavy production. Harvest young cucumbers and don’t allow them to get too large on the plant. One popular variety is ‘Straight 8″ which has high yields of smooth, 8″ long, straight fruit.

Cucumber Seedlings

Peppers – When I think of Peppers, I think of all the different types there are. Don’t you? So when choosing which to grow, the sky is the limit and you can grow more than one variety. They are all simple to sow and grow indoors, which should be started about 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. Plant them in the exact same manner as you would plant tomatoes as stated above. The key to success is to keep them warm. After they are “hardened off”, be sure that the outdoor soil is warm and the temps are at 65 degrees or more during the day and no cooler than 50 degrees at night. Don’t plant small seedlings too deep, plant them “high and dry” I like to say. Keeping them evenly moist, never over-watered will ensure good production.

  1. Simplegirl, To keep pests away from my veggies and fruits I like to use a spray bottle with a little dishsoap and water mixture or blend garlic clove in water and spray this too. Both “organic”. However, mostly, I just pick off the green pillars by hand and toss them to the birds in the street or wipe off the aphids with a paper towel, and I don’t worry about critters eating holes in the veggie leaves that much, as mostly, my plants survive this. Hope this is helpful!

  2. I have two questions :

    1) Can i grow these in tropical climate( i live in india)

    2) Can i use neem oil to keep pests away?

    Thanks for informative post.

  3. Great post, couldn’t find any information on your blog (might not’ve looked well enough though) but have you ever posted any information on container vegetable gardening? Would love to read some about that as well.

  4. Crystal, Thank you and not yet but you sure have inspired a great topic which I can post about next……. You can become a follower on my site and be the first to know more about “Container Vegetable Gardening”!

  • What is alloyed titanium?

    Titanium alloys are metals that contain a mixture of titanium and other chemical elements. For most applications it is alloyed with small amounts of aluminum and vanadium, typically 6% and 4% respectively, and for some its also alloyed with palladium. Such alloys have very high tensile strength and toughness, they are light in weight, have corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand high temperatures. The heat resistance enables a heat treatment process after the alloy has been worked into its final shape but before it is put to use, allowing much easier fabrication of a high-strength product.

  • What is commercially pure titanium?

    Commercially Pure Titanium is represented by four distinct grades, specifically grade 1, grade 2, grade 3 and grade 4. Pure titanium ranges from grade 1, which has the highest corrosion resistance, formability and lowest strength, to grade 4, which offers the highest strength and moderate formability.

  • What is titanium Grade 1?

    Titanium Grade 1 / EN3.7025/ASTM B265

    Titanium Grade 1 / EN3.7025/ASTM B265

    Titanium grade 1 is one of four commercially pure titanium qualities’. It’s the softest of all four grades with the highest formability and corrosion resistance and lowest strength.  It has an excellent weldability.

    Typical applications for grade 1 is for corrosion resistance in the chemical and marine industries; in airframe construction where maximum ease of formability is desired

  • What is titanium Grade 2?

    Titan Grade 2/EN 3.7035/ASTM B 348

    Grade 2 is the most widely used titanium alloy in all product forms, it has similar characteristics as grad 1 but is slightly stronger. Grade 2 offering an excellent balance of moderate strength and reasonable ductility. Highly corrosion resistant in highly oxidizing and mildly reducing environments, including chlorides. Grade 2 has very good weldability.

    Typical Grade 2 Applications is for corrosion resistant in the chemical and offshore industries, in aircraft construction where a certain strength level and ease of formability is desired. Also used in heat exchangers, hypochlorite systems, fire water systems, ballast water systems, risers, fittings, flanges, fasteners, forgings, pumps, valves.

  • What is titanium grade 5?

    Titan Grade 5/6AL-4V9/ASTM B 348

    Grad 5 is the most widely used titanium alloy. It has very high strength but relatively low ductility. Compared to pure titanium, grad 5 has much higher tensil strength and a higher yeld point. Titanium grad 5 is therefore preferable when the strength is more important than the corrosion resistance. The main application of this alloy is in aircraft and spacecraft. Offshore use is growing. The alloy is weldable and can be precipitation hardened.

With below freezing temperatures this past weekend, the UNH Meeple Cardboard Syndicate event, “Syndicon 4: Gaming Through the Fourth Dimension” provided a place of refuge to escape the cold and spend a weekend full of tabletop gaming. Approximately 200 people attended the gaming marathon, which was held in the Granite State Room (GSR) of the Memorial Union Building (MUB) and ran from March 4-5.

The event was open to the public, allowing members from the community and all over New England the opportunity to attend.

“People come from all over, from Rhode Island to Maine,” Meeple Cardboard Syndicate President Ben Shalek said. “This event usually has more community members than students.”

Adam Foss, a CVS customer service representative from Auburn, Maine, drove the hour and half to attend. He and a friend stayed at a motel in Dover in order to attend both days.

Syndicon 4 attracted New Englanders from all over, allowing anyone who enjoys gaming to come and play.

“This is my first time and I already like the atmosphere,” Foss said. “Opening to the public was a great idea.”

With food and refreshments, raffles and endless gaming, Syndicon 4 was a fitting way for students to take a break from their weekend study sessions and relax over cards, board games and dice. Many notable games such as Dungeons and Dragons, Magic: The Gathering and Risk were being played. However, attendees also had the chance to learn new games, and some even brought in games of their own design to teach others and test the game mechanics.

“You won’t find games like Monopoly here,” senior anthropology major and public relations officer for Meeple Cardboard Syndicate, Ellis Codd, said. “It goes past Monopoly-type games, people come in with their own made-up games and wait for others to want to try them out.”

Besides the well-known tabletop games, players could find more obscure games such as Seven Dragons, Dixit, Castle Ravenloft and Tokaido. Attendees could walk around and join a game that caught their eye, or set up a game at a table and invite others to come play.

“I like to go around and teach people new games,” freshman statistics major and public relations officer in-training for Meeple Cardboard Syndicate, Ben Gildersleeve, said. “It is fun having regulars come in and show newbies how to play, I enjoy observing new players having fun and learning new games.”

Those in attendance were allowed to bring their own games and even learn some they’ve never played before.

A collection of cards and games, donated by Diversions Puzzle and Games of Portsmouth and Jetpack Comics of Rochester, were raffled off. With $1 raffle tickets, players had the opportunity to win and add new cards and games to their collections.

Meeple Cardboard Syndicate encourages students from all walks of life to come geek out and roll the dice with them every Friday evening, 6 p.m. til midnight, in the Wildcat’s Den of the MUB.

“We strive to promote education through board gaming by strengthening social skills, promote communication and sharing and develop skills relevant outside of the university,” Shalek said.

Such skills, he listed, are active listening, communication, logical and critical decision-making, risk versus benefit analysis, self-confidence, emotional coping skills and resource management.

Trader Moni Scheme Idiotic – Obasanjo

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo.

Olusegun Obasanjo, Former President, has described the Trader Moni Scheme of President Muhammadu Buhari as idiotic.

Mr Obasanjo gave the description on Sunday in an open letter titled “Point for Concern and Action.”

Trader Moni, according to the Federal Government, is an empowerment scheme created specifically for petty traders and artisans across the country.

The scheme promoted by Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has been condemned by critics of the administration largely because of the timing of its implementation and disbursement, which is close to the 2019 general election.

Critics, including chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the programme as vote buying.

While Bukola Saraki, Senate President, described it as sophisticated, Yakubu Dogara, Reps Speaker, elucidated it to be direct vote buying.

For the former president, the scheme is “idiotic.”

“What an act by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria lawyer, number 2 man in the Executive hierarchy; and what is more, a pastor of one of the Christian movements led by a revered, respected and upright church leader, Pastor E. A. Adeboye,” Obasanjo said.

“Traders in rural and sub-urban areas of Nigeria are many more than those in urban areas and they are much poorer than traders in Lagos, Abuja and other cities. They need more attention and greater help.

“Are they to be confined to the heap of perpetual poverty? What of those who are not traders? They are not entitled to hand-out and they can languish in penury? And what about millions who have lost their jobs in the last three and a half years? The timing is also suspect.

“Those who criticise the action are called evil but they are not evil as they know what they are doing and saying, and they love Nigeria and Nigerians not less than the likes of Osinbajo. They are not devils incarnate; they are patriots.

“What is the connection between taking the number of PVC (Permanent Voters Card) of the recipient of the N10,000 doled out to ‘traders’ and the forthcoming election? There is something sinister about it, and Professor Osinbajo, of all people, should know that.

“With collusion of the INEC officials and card readers not made to work, anybody quoting the PVC number may be allowed to vote as the revised Electoral Bill was not signed. And if that happens all over the country, it will be massive rigging indeed.

“His explanation that it was their government programme can only be construed to be very shallow and lopsided, if not an outrightly idiotic programme.”

Obasanjo, who described himself as an alarm raiser, passed a vote of no confidence on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) urging the electoral body to diligently carry out its duties.

ALSO READ:  I have significantly weakened Boko Haram - Buhari

He also alleged that Mr Buhari is planning and strategizing on how to rig the election using the case of embattled Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, as a reference point.

“The Chairman of INEC must stand firm and carry out his duties with competence and unbending neutrality. Card readers must be used without fail and accreditation must be completed and number ascertained and made public before voting commences as was done in 2015,” the former president said.

The Unheated Workshop

The Unheated Workshop 1
The temperature has been varying between really cold and OMG cold since the New Year, and unfortunately our indoor work temperature has reflected this. Our steel roll-up garage-style showroom door and super-high ceilings are major escape routes for heated air and our three gas powered reflecting heaters barely make a dent.

Are we part of a "proud" historic tradition? Amazingly, in days of yore cabinet shops in Europe and US, even in dank and chilly parts, were not heated.

Let's think about this for a bit. Iron stoves date from the mid 18th century, commonly available central heating from the end of the 19th. Light was essential for craft work, but glass windows were not common in Britain and the US prior to the middle of the 19th century. In the spring, summer and fall, craftsmen worked in front of open windows - a source of light and air. Rain was kept away by roof eaves. In the winter and in truly inclement weather, translucent oiled cloth over the windows gave some protection from the elements. Shutters secured the premises at night and when there was no work.

While fine sawdust from sandpaper wasn't much of an issue before the 20th century, sawdust from sawing and plane shavings did present a constant danger for a fire. And with all that dry wood around, any small fire could easily become a deadly conflagration. Thomas Chippendale's shop, for example. burned in a fire in 1755; although he rebuilt his shop, his personal fortune never recovered from the disaster. And so unlike those lucky blacksmiths who had forges and bakers who had ovens, woodworkers had to exercise extreme caution around fire. Even smoking was generally banned anywhere near the shop. Open fires of any sort were forbidden in shops -- and with that, no ready source of heat was available in shops.

Even in the 18th century, there must have been some small fires to keep the glue hot. The Joiner and Cabinetmaker (1839) describes the apprentice's job of preparing and maintaining the glue pot and makes note of the "serious accidents [that] have sometimes arisen" with improper care, such as when a "hot cinder sticking to the bottom has set the shavings and the shop on fire."

With the advent of iron stoves, it was possible to have some heat in a workshop. But the lack of insulation in the shop, and the probability of working next to the outdoor light meant that on a good day your back might have some heat on it but your front and hands would be freezing.

Fortunately, in the winter the workdays bowed to the reality of shorter daylight and were shorter too.

The funny part of all of this is that at the end of my workday I ride on a (mostly) heated subway and a centrally heated home. Up until pretty recently your frozen cabinetmaker went home to a house probably heated only by a fireplace in the kitchen and parlor. If he was lucky and well-to-do, maybe his bedroom had a small fireplace, but by and large, your workplace might have been freezing and your home was pretty cold too.

And don't get me started about the plumbing.

I've started working in an unheated, uninsulated detached garage in Montana. Being a rental, I can't really make any substantial heating improvements. I also don't want the fumes of kerosene or the moisture of propane. What I'm finding so far is it's really not that bad. Once it's around 0°F or the single digits, I can't do much of anything out there for very long. But those periods usually don't last more than a week or two at most. Soon enough it's back to the high teens or 20s, and I can get out there for some meaningful work. By the time it's in the 30s I can do anything except glue. Small projects can come in the house to glue. Large projects wait until spring.

Overall I like the pace this sets. I'm not running a business, so I can afford to be flexible. During the coldest periods I do more reading or work on restoring a vintage plane at the kitchen table. It makes me more connected to the weather. It's all too easy to sit inside, thermostat set to t-shirt temps, no matter how the weather fluctuates outside. Now I look more closely at upcoming temperatures and look forward to a warmer day, and don't let a single one go to waste.

The biggest surprise is I thought woodworking would come to a halt for about five months during our northern mountain winters. Turns out I can get decent work done nearly year round.

Thanks for this. Now I know that my unheated detached garage workshop is “period correct”. I feel warmer already.
01/10/2018 Peter Bisaro
Funny reading this. 0700 here in Far North Queensland Australia and the temp is already 28c. I can't spend too much time in my shed this time of year because of dehydration and sweat staining my woodwork! I'm working on getting an air con.... don't know how they did it in the good old days
01/10/2018 Terrence Walsh
For several years my "workshop" was outside on my deck, in Virginia. The only obstacles to work were rain, serious wind, and serious cold. Light snow was not a problem as long as the deck was not icy.

Now I have a workshop! It's an attached garage in Massachusetts. As a garage it's well-ventilated. It's usually 15 to 20 degrees F warmer than outside. Rain and powerful winds are no longer a problem. I can recreate noonday sunlight at any hour of the day. So that's all good.

As for those really chilly days I recall a bit of Norwegian wisdom. Norway? They have some of the worst weather in the world. No problem. As they say, there is no bad weather, just bad clothing.
01/10/2018 Donald Kreher
Eric Dobson, do yourself a favour and get some 1.5 inch thick foam insulation board and cover it with ply wood. You will find your feet will stay much much warmer if they are off the concrete. If you can cover the entire shop floor with foam insulation board, Then a moisture barrier of plastic then two layers of (3/8) or (1/2) inch underlayment. Lay the top layer to cover seems in the second. Screw top layer into the second. Voila now you have a floor that will not only keep you feet warm, it will be less tiring to stand on and will protect tools from falling onto the concrete. Oh and it's not permanent.
01/10/2018 Morgan Holt
Very different set of discomforts here in Phoenix. The garage door is open and it is 75 degrees. OUR hell is the summer when it is 115 in the garage and sweat rolls off. No need to raise the grain before finishing, it is flushed in salt water as you sand.
01/10/2018 Bill Frarey
Here in MI we have two seasons. Winter and not Winter. To say it's been cold is the understatement of the year. While I may not have the fortitude to work in the cold the weather gives me time to restore some planes and get all of my sharpening caught up.

My Great Great Grandfather emigrated from England to Australia, with his tools - he was a wheelwright by trade. He set up shop in rural Beechworth, in northern Victoria. When a fire destroyed his workshop, it was a disaster for him - not because he lost his workshop, which was not much more than a slab hut, but because he lost his tools.

Fortunately, he managed to get back on his feet, and was awarded a medallion at the Crystal Palace Great Exhibition for constructing a wagon wheel using Australian native timbers, instead of imported UK timbers - as was the practice in the day).

What a pleasure to read your study of woodworking history, Joel. Your understanding of how all this went down, certainly makes sense, and is appreciated. And the counterpoints of these above comments make it all richer. 'Til I burn the place down, enjoying the woodstove in the shop!
01/11/2018 Evie Dechant
I am of the age where everything aches worse in the winter and my old shop is a 20x40 draft building with a monster wood stove in it. Even if I can remember to go stoke the fire before the temp starts dropping in there.. once it drops below 20 im out of there! Just can't take it like i used to.

Move to New Jersey! There are an amazing group of Furniture makers out here just waiting for you. I'll hook you up with a great broker to find you a space at 1/2 of what you're paying in NY and it will have HEAT YEAR ROUND! You want a downtown storefront, we got'em, you want a warehouse space we got'em, you want a shop in the woods, we got them too. Suburbia is great. Everyone is cool and Urban these days (especially in NJ!) And the city is only 30 miles away.
What are you watiing for? Come on over!

I am in the Chicago area - I find 55F to be my favorite working temp. I am comfortable in short sleeves and I never break a sweat. My shop is heated with a natural gas furnace and I could easily keep it at 70F, but I only do so for finishing. Other than that 55 is perfect. I do very little in the summer. Above 75F and I get crabby.
02/26/2018 Erik Hoover
My unheated workspace is OK with me about 95% of the year. But certain days when high humidity air hits the super-cold shop fixtures and machines are dreadful! Moisture clings to not only the cast iron equipment, but the underside of many horizontal surfaces.
I know there are ways to prepare for this and mitigate against its effects, but it is a fairly big undertaking - one of many that deserve my attention.

“Postpartum Depression Does Not Discriminate”—Chrissy Teigen Opens Up About Battle With PPD & Anxiety

“I didn’t think it could happen to me. I have a great life. I have all the help I could need.”

She has the perfect life. Married to singer John Legend, Chrissy Tiegen is a model, cookbook author and twitter snap-back extraordinaire. Not to mention she’s about as real about mom-life as it can possibly get.

But none of that mattered after the Hollywood starlet gave birth to her first child, she and John’s daughter, Luna.

“I didn’t think it could happen to me. I have a great life. I have all the help I could need. But postpartum does not discriminate,” the 31-year-old wrote in Glamour. “I’m speaking up now because I want people to know it can happen to anybody and I don’t want people who have it to feel embarrassed or to feel alone.”

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is estimated that one in every nine women will suffer from postpartum depression.

Chrissy told the magazine that she was constantly in pain, having trouble sleeping through the night, she felt stuck in her house with no desire to leave, and life just wasn’t enjoyable for her.

“As I’m writing this, in February, I am a much different human than I was even just in December. I’m over a month into taking my antidepressant, and I just got the name of a therapist who I am planning to start seeing. Let’s be honest though—I probably needed therapy way before Luna!” she wrote. “Like anyone, with PPD or without, I have really good days and bad days. I will say, though, right now, all of the really bad days—the days that used to be all my days—are gone.”

Chrissy wrote that her main focus in getting treatment is to get better for both herself and her daughter.

“More than anything, I always want to have enough energy for Luna,” she said. “As she gets older, she’s becoming more and more fun. Her eyes are getting so wide, and I want to be there for those wide eyes.”

Error! Error!

(I must have been in some kind of late night stupor (NOT induced by beer) when I posted this on T2T instead of on its sister blog.  A new post — about a milder beverage altogether — will replace this one shortly. But I’m not above taking advantage of possible serendipity from my own mistakes, so if you don’t know A View from the Woods, wander on over and — enjoy the View!)

Are windows to see through? To see in? To see out?  Not necessarily. These windows are to sell through: windows as sales tools!

As often when I go to the liquor store, a question arises in my mind, a snatch of poetry from long ago:

And much as Wine has played the Infidel,

And robbed me of my Robe of Honor Well,

I often wonder what the Vintners buy

One half so precious as the stuff they sell.

Rubayiat of Omar Khayyam, translated by Edward Fitzgerald

Or, as humor columnist Dave Barry has said, less poetically but just as pointedly:

Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.

For getting the data or events from github, i have checked full repositories.

so i'm so happy when i heard QB support github webhooks from jeon. because webhook is better than polling.

now, i have to setup the protection branch rule for new repository in github.

if QuickBuild support this repository events, QB can setup the protection branch rule directly. (i wait for this function so long time.)

I'll look forward to your support.

With easy access to the net and technology continuously advancing

With easy access to the net and technology continuously advancing, cyberbullying is not a new issue flooding today’s society. Bullying behind a screen is easier for the offender however the effects of the victim are just a severe as being tormented in person, if not worse. Being harassed, threatened and humiliated on a social media forum, via text messages or email is known as cyberbullying. School boards across the nation are legally responsible for educating their staff and students on the signs, effects, and ways of prevention for cyberbullying. Although there are no federal laws specifically against this crime, state legislatures often times use existing laws to aid in punishing offenders of this crime. Cyberbullying can be punishable by fines, misdemeanors and serious jail time in extreme cases. Surveys have led to studies that show an increase in number for school aged kids that are both victims and offenders of this crime. Research shows that social networking websites, social media tracking, and monitoring of text messages early on can help avoid cyberbullying.

Over 80% of teens have and use their phones regularly making cyberbullying very common amongst society today. Nearly 43% of kids have been bullied via the internet. 81% of youth admit that bullying behind a computer screen is easier to get away with rather than doing so in person (Digital Humans, 2014). Bullying that takes place over digital devices such as cellular phones, computers, and tablets is known at cyberbullying. In today’s society, cyberbullying is very common. There are many phone applications, social media websites and gaming websites that make bullying behind a screen very easy to do. Facebook, Snap Chat, Instagram, Twitter, Short Message Service apps, Instant Messenger apps, and E-mail are all online forums where cyberbullying can occur. Cyberbullying is not limited to mean text messages and threatening posts. There are many types of cyberbullying that even extend to spreading humiliating images. Victims of cyberbullying deal with embarrassment, loss of confidence, and depression. Being a constant target of cyberbullying can lead to aftereffects as severe as suicide. Because victims are often times ashamed and afraid to admit they are being harassed online, it can be challenging detecting the signs of cyberbullying. Legislatures specific to every state have composed laws that discipline offenders. Simply being educated on the signs of cyberbullying can help break the cycle of anxiety and self-harm that comes along with being harassed. For parents, observing changes in your child and overseeing their social media pages can be an advantage of identifying early signs.

The internet is a fast-growing world in of itself. Today, we are so consumed by our lives in the virtual world that it is very easy to experience bullying through our devices. There are many examples of encounters that can be the catalyst to cyberbullying. A simple expression of frustration between two friends about another mutual friend through text messages can make room for screenshots and forwarding of messages to the person who caused initial anger. This interaction could in turn cause arguments via text and mean posts on social media. Another common example of cyberbullying teenagers specifically go through after break ups is the leaking of personal photographs once shared between only two parties.

Flaming, harassment, cyberstalking, denigration, impersonation, outing-trickery, and exclusion are all types of cyberbullying (Willard). In Nancy Willard’s break down of cyberbullying and cyberthreats she explains the aim behind each of the different types.
Sending texts that are rude with angry tones and vulgar messages is known as flaming. Harassment is the action of sending those same vulgar messages repeatedly. When a user advances to sending threats to harm another person over the internet constantly, this is known as cyberstalking. Denigration can happen in the office on the job or through the halls of schools. Making posts about another individual with messages that are untrue is known as “put downs” or denigration. Acting as another person to get an individual to share personal information is known as impersonation. Impersonation can lead to dangerous encounters; meeting up with individuals in real life realizing they weren’t who they said they were behind the computer screen is very common. Posting and forwarding personal information someone shared with you is known as outing and trickery. Lastly, deliberately excluding a person from group chats and other online forums is known as exclusion. Being a target of any variety of these bullying tactics can lead to serious mental and physical life changes.

Many times, the results of being a victim of cyberbullying are severe. Many teenagers do not want to attend school anymore to avoid seeing their peers, targets fall into depression because they cannot escape negativity in reality or the virtual world, and victims even result to taking their own lives. Suffering from feeling isolated and not accepted from peers is certainly a catalyst to the increasing suicide numbers. Researchers have looked into the correlation of social media usage and the number of suicides. A survey given to two thousand middle school students revealed that victims of cyberbullying are twice as likely to attempt taking their own lives than students who were not (Luxton, et. al). In extreme cases, being a victim of cyberbullying can also lead to mass school shootings. In most cases in this country, mass shootings is the result of feeling unwanted, harassed and humiliated. Shootings are an extreme example of a growing trend that troubles educators, parents and juvenile-justice officials — cyberbullying. Many of the teen feuds that start with online taunts turn into physical confrontations (Sims).

Although there are not any federal laws against cyberbullying, many actions are taken on local levels in every state. In extreme cases resulting in a victim taking their own life, existing laws are used in prosecuting cyberbullying cases. In the state of Virginia every school board must implement policies that educate their employees about cyberbullying, the signs, and ways for prevention. Appropriate disciplinary actions must also be displayed and put into effect as well.
